Lenalee was practicing meditation.
"She is beautiful and was once a great exorcist but she doesn't have any friends. I don't think she likes people," some finders said.
Kanda got up and walked around the Order. He saw a painting of the End Of The World commissioned by the Order.
"You know about my dreams." Lenalee said. "Don't you Kanda."
"You've become popular over the years, Lenalee." Kanda said. "One of your fans wants to spar with you every day."
"That sounds like a flirtation." Lenalee said.
"You aren't even an exorcist anymore, Lenalee." Kanda said.
Lenalee became angry. "Yes I am! I can see it in my destiny, just like you."
"Are you willing to make the sacrifice?" Kanda said.
Several day passed and Lenalee was in town when she heard a boy crying for help. She approached the boy to see what was wrong when she transformed into an akuma. The akuma attacked Lenalee and she tried to fight it with a crowbar but it was too strong. Suddenly her innocence in the flask in her pocket reacted and liquified.
Lenalee began to reach out for it when a voice called out, "Don't touch it!"
Lenalee turned around and Kanda was standing at the door.
Kanda continued, "If you do, you'll never be to return to a normal life. Innocence! Activate!"
His Mugen activated.
Kanda attacked the monster, driving it back.
"Stop! That boy is still alive!" Lenalee said.
"The end is coming!" Kanda said. "If I don't do this, there will be more sacrifices. I did not choose to fight this way."
With Lenalee distracted, the monster attacked again and Kanda dove to push Lenalee out of the way. The monster slashed Kanda with his claws.
"First Illusion! Netherworld Insects!"
The akuma was defeated and the monster turned back into the boy. Kanda slumped on the ground in Lenalee's arms.
"I didn't help you just because you are an exorcist," Kanda said weakly. "Before I knew, I was always watching you, even when you meditated with me. I've always wanted to be with you. You never ask favors of anyone and you're always faithful to your feelings."
"I'm not faithful," Lenalee said. "I'm always running away."
"No," Kanda said. "I know you better than you do because I've always been watching you. I just didn't want you to take the same path I took." Kanda closed his eyes. "Still, I was happy when I found out that you were the one..."
Lenalee looked back at her innocence and took it, drinking it, and her Dark Boots formed.
