Hime: Hi! Thanks for being so patient! Hope you enjoy the chapter! :)

The undercover exorcists returned home to meet with the rest of their team to discuss the case.

"Why in the hell would Lulubell follow around Tsukiyomi for?" asks a frustrated Kanda after hearing Amber's and Lavi's story.

"Could he have innocence?" suggests Allen.

Link shook his head in disagreement, "Can't be. I sense no other foreign Innocence signatures in the area."

"Then what could Lulubell want with an ordinary human?" Lavi asks aloud.

This question brought about a pregnant pause as everyone tried to think of an answer but it wasn't too long when the door burst open and Leenalee entered, carrying a huge grocery bag filled with things inside in her arms.

"Tadaima!"

"Okari!" answered Allen as Link took the bag from her to keep in the kitchen.

Leenalee gave her boyfriend a quick peck on the check before hurrying over to the couch where Amber and Lavi were.

"I saw Rhode downtown earlier!"
Amber who was presently sitting in Lavi's lap, widened her eyes in alarm, "WHAT?"

"She and two other people were following a group of kids. They wore the same uniform as you."

"Following a group of kids?" Link repeated in confusion.

Amber deadpanned, "Tell me more about the people they were following."

Leenalee frowned, "Well, one had hair the colour of gold, one had purple hair, one was short and had long blonde hair and one had spiky brown hair. I couldn't see their faces though."

The Guardians?

"What about the two people with Rhode?" Allen inquired.

"Well, one had long white hair and one had short black hair. They wore Seika High uniforms."

"That sounds like the Jasdevi brothers" murmurs Amber.

"Jasdevi?" Kanda asks.

Lavi sighed, "They were these mischievous twins that-"

Then it clicked.

"THE TWINS ARE IN MY CLASS!"

Amber cringed and elbowed her brother in annoyance, "I am sitting in your lap you know."

"You can just come over and sit next to me" Kanda told her, changing his lounging position on the couch to an appropriate sitting one.

Lavi patted Amber on the hand, taking her attention away from Kanda's offer, "Sorry Amber-hime."

Kanda blinked, "Hime?"

"Kanda, you're Japanese surely you of all people should understand what it means."

"What does it mean?" asked Allen out of curiosity.

"It means princess" Kanda informed him through gritted teeth.

"Aww how cute!" gushed Leenalee. "I think it's a good nickname for Amber-chan don't you all agree?"

The men nodded except for Kanda who was glaring daggers at Lavi and Link who was deep in thought.

"We need to inform Cross about this immediately. There is more people involved in this than we realize."

Amber nodded and got up from her seat on Lavi's lap, "I'll go tell him."

With that, Link watched Amber rush up the stairs before turning his attention to the other high school students, "As for you boys, go and shower already!"

Elsewhere

Lulubell clicked her tongue in annoyance from her perch on the tree outside the Tsukiyomi's household. She lowered her binoculars and sighed, tired from watching Ikuto lying on his daydreaming for the past two hours.

Following her student, Tsukiyomi Ikuto has proven fruitless thus far in the Noah's search for Hinamori Amu.

When the other Noah's reported to the Earl that Amber Marian had returned and has been foiling their plans, the Earl wasted no time in ordering Lulubell, Rhode and the Jasdevi duo to research and find out whatever they can. Eventually, they had heard an interesting bit of information where a girl from Tokyo who mysteriously left along with her family, matching the description of Amber's late mother, Ame and with the name Amu which her mother had so affectionately called her daughter by; they knew it had to be where Amber had gone to hiding before coming back.

The Noahs came to the city to find out more but all they could come up with were useless to them. No one in the vicinity had any idea where the Hinamoris had gone and from the surveillance she and Rhode has so far gathered, none of her previous friends were keeping contact; not Ikuto or any of the other Guardians.

Ugh, maybe I should just report to the Earl that this whole mission is a waste of time. We're better of doing-

Lulubell stopped mid-way and froze as she realized a sudden, sharp pain on her neck. She pulled out the dart from her neck quickly to look at it.

Wha-?

"Sweet dreams Lulubell-sensei" said an eerie voice from behind her.

The blonde Noah turned to face her opponent only to find that her vision was clouding and she couldn't see well, "W-who a-are you?"

The Noah of Lust was sure she saw lips moving in response to her question but she was too out of it to make out what her captor was saying.

It didn't take long before Lulubell finally relented and lost consciousness right in front of her waiting captor. The dart rolled out of her hand and the exorcist bent down to pick it up.

Hn and I actually thought capturing her was hard?

When Lulubell finally awoke, it took great effort for her to stand up. She felt like her limbs were jelly and her legs wobbly.

What in the hell was I drugged with?

She looked around and realized that she was in a woods of some sort and surrounding her was a force-field; she tried to move her hand toward it only to see some electric sparks coming off of it, as if daring her to come closer. Lulubell smartly listened to her gut and looked down onto the ground to look for an alternative way out but she got a nasty shock instead; gold ancient-looking symbols painted on the ground glowed glaringly back at her.

What is this?

Suddenly, the blonde Noah felt her heart thump wildly in her chest and her ability to breathe was no longer apparent.

"What...what is this weird sense of danger I'm feeling?" Lulubell rasped out, with her hands on her alarmed heart.

"Simple, you're going to die and the Noah inside you is trying to leave your body but the symbols on the ground is preventing that."

"Wha-? UGH!"Lulubell fell to her knees, sweating profusely.

What? What the hell did she mean?

The long-haired blonde, in great paint finally looked up and recognized her captor instantly, "Amber Marian!"

There she was, the girl destined to kill the Earl looking down at her coolly, dressed in the new black and red Exorcist uniform with her long wine-red hair inherited from her renowned father tied in pigtails with stands of hair framing her delicate featured face.

"H-how? Wh-hat? Why-y-?"

"I will kill you if you don't tell me what I want to know" Amber tells her, cutting off the stuttering older woman before her.

Lulubell's eyes widened as she felt the Noah inside her panic, causing pain throughout her entire body.

I CANNOT DIE! I CANNOT DIE! WE CANNOT DIE!

"I'll tell you anything! Just get me out! We can't die!" Lulubell cried out, desperate.

Amber smirked at the pathetic state the blonde Noah was in. She closed her eyes and chanted an incantation, "Onluc tha sothan treow!"

With a start, Lulubell saw the symbols on the ground and the force field around her turn to light pink and the feeling in her chest subside significantly. She watched as Amber bent down, her bronze eyes making direct contact with her own.

"Tell me everything." Amber orders as her eyes glowed gold.

Lulubell opened her mouth and words came out. Without meaning to, she told the young exorcist everything; the secret hideouts, current plans, pretty much everything she knew and she could not stop. Amber didn't even have to ask questions, Lulubell just talked and talked while Amber listened intently, smirking in satisfaction as she saw tears flowing down Lulubell's face.

Lulubell was crying because she was betraying her Master and in the symboled area the blonde Noah was in, no one would be the wiser; Lulubell couldn't contact anyone and vice-versa' because Lulubell's Noah powers were blocked in the symboled circle she was in.

She was helpless and at Amber's mercy.

There was no way out.
