Summary: The Bookman clan has never been truly sure how it happened, but the war ended on one single day. The winner was not clear for both sides had walked away that day. Akuma had faded into memory as the Earl's actions slowed to a stopped. The Exorcists disappeared like shadows with the last Akuma's death. The world as it always did forgot about the war after the Akuma disappeared completely. Unknown to the world, it would soon learn what happened that day as a new war dawned on the horizon.

Chapter Five
"See Chibi!" An annoying red head that popped into my dreams a lot grinned at me, "I told ya it would work,"
"Oh it worked, but you gotta run from him now," I gesture to the steaming white haired boy that took the star of my dreams many times, "I ain't helping you,"
I turned and began to walk away as the red head gaped at me. He finally managed to shout, "H-hey why aren't you going to help?"
"You called me Chibi," I answer with a smirk, "Now you have to deal with Allen,"
"B-but he's your little brother!" The red head shouted causing me to shrug.
"He maybe my little brother, but I ain't helping you since you're the one that caused it," I walked away from him with a wave of my hand, "Have fun!"
I heard a shout of, "Damn it! Come back!"
I giggled and continued to move through the rather heavy crowd. Every so often, my hand would dart into a purse or a pocket and money, jewelry, and the like would fall into my hands. I made my way through the heavy crowd to the run down part of the town we had stopped at to rest. I smiled as I heard the squeals of children and soon found myself at the rundown orphanage of the town. I made my way inside and knocked on the door which was then opened by a rather old woman. She smiled and beckoned me inside with a smile, "Ah Polarise I heard that you and your little brother were in town."
"We're looking for the red haired pervert," I answer causing her to grimace slightly, "I decided to stop by and see how everything's going,"
"It's been easier with the garden you helped create," She said causing me to smile, "Tom and Gracie managed to get jobs, so money is flowing in now,"
"Good," I sighed and pulled out the spoils I had gathered on the way here though I saved some of the jewelry for myself, "Here's some stuff I hope will help,"
"Thank you," The matron of the orphanage smiled.
We spent a few more moments talking before I left. I waved to the children and smiled as they played with some of the toys I had brought for them last time I was in the area. I soon found a warm hand in mine and smiled as I looked to the side, "Hey Tyki. Whatcha doin' here?"
The man chuckled and smiled at me, "I wanted to visit you."
I shook my head with a small laugh, "Of course," I offered the cleaned up looking man a raised eyebrow, "Here on business?"
"No though I haven't had time to change since I just got finished some," He answered causing me to nod, "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for a certain red haired bastard that I want to beat to the brink," I say causing him to frown slightly, "Something wrong?"
"No," He shook his head before glancing back, "Why were you in that orphanage?"
"I wanted to make a donation and talk to an old friend of mine," I say with a small shrug, "Plus it feel's good to give those kids a chance," A small blush decorated my cheeks, "It'll keep them from either being sold off to the circus or have to resort to less than savory things to survive,"
"Like you?" He asked causing me to nod, "You have a big heart,"
"More like I just don't want people to have to do what I did once upon a time," I say causing him to chuckle which warmed my heart, "How are Eeez and the others?"
"Doing well," He looked at me with a smile, "The medicine you made for Eeez has made it easier for him to breath. He's been a lot more healthy since he started taking it,"
"Do you guys need more?" I asked causing him to nod, "I have some of it in my bag. We'll have to head to the Inn where I'm staying to get it,"
"Where's Winter?" Tyki asked as we headed that way.
"Delivering a report of everything so far to Komui," I answer causing him to nod slightly, "So how have you been?"
"I've been good," He answered causing me to giggle, "What not a good answer?"
"Not really, but it's a classic so I can't fault you," I answer and he chuckled softly.
"Fine," He rolled his eyes playfully, "I've been doing good. The jobs are coming in and it's been kinda easy on me,"
"I'm glad," I smiled softly, "I was kinda worried since last time you were so stressed over something,"
"Well I'm not anymore," He said causing me to nod, "What about you?" He looked at me with slight worry as we reach the Inn and I bring us up to my personal room, "How are you doing?"
"Other than being pissed over having to find that rat bastard of a pervert?" I asked causing him to nod, "Pretty good. Some things could use some work, but I'm not too bored. We haven't been too bothered, but I did meet this odd Blonde a little while ago,"
"Did she do anything to you?" He sounded worried causing me to frown.
"No," I answered causing him to sigh in relief as I got the medicine I had made for Eeez, "We only sat together one night while I was separated from the others. We talked a bit about life and we didn't fight," I sighed a bit, "While I know we should have fought, I...I didn't feel the need to,"
He looked at me with slight amusement, "You do know that you are quite odd."
"And you're quite the worry wart, but we don't comment on that," I say before handing him the medicine, "Here you go,"
"Hey I am not," He protested as he took the medicine, "Do you want anything in return?"
"Only to know that you'll continue to be my friend and company," I answer causing him to give me a raised eyebrow, "You're a friend Tyki, so I'm not about to charge you for stuff like this," I then decided to tease him, "Plus it helps that it's for a cute kid like Eeez,"
He mock pouted at me, "You only like being around me because of Eeez."
"Maybe," I tease causing him to scowl playfully, "Though you are rather amusing,"
"You keep me around because I amuse you?" He asked causing me to shrug.
"Perhaps or I like taking your money when you lose at poker," He shook his head lightly and I sobered up some as I plop down on my bed, "So you leaving?"
"I have to get this to Clark and head to my next job," He answered causing me to sigh lightly.
"I'm sad that we don't get to spend a lot of time like this playing around," I murmured and laid back to stare at the ceiling.
"But we can't," He sighed and made his way over before sitting down next to me, "It's how things are,"
"Yup," I hum softly as I stared at the beams supporting the roof, "Allen and the others'll be back soon,"
We sat in silence for a little before I heard Levi shout below, "Damn it Bean Sprout! I said I was sorry!"
"And there goes our time together," I sat up and wrapped my arms around Tyki's shoulders while being mindful of the medicine, "See you,"
"See you," He replied as I let him go.
He stood up and walked over to the door. He paused to open it and waved at me before walking out. I laid back and murmur, "Damn I wish I could spend more time with him away from the damned order's war..."
End of dream
I woke up with a small groan and sat up slowly as I rubbed at my eyes. A month had passed in Hogwarts and the dreams had been getting more detailed. The warmth of another hand in mine and the warmth of the hug still lingered on my slightly chilled skin. I sighed deeply and ran a hand through my hair. The dreams were now longer than ever, yet as I looked out to the window, I noticed that only a few hours had passed since I had gone to sleep. The dreams had also been putting some kind of stress on my body though I don't let the others see it. It's harder to stay awake in class and I've started having dizzy spells at random points in the day. I've been contemplating going to see Madame Pomfrey about all of it, but never had the time with all the things I had to do during the day. I let out another sigh as I leaned back against my pillows and looked to my side. Winter had been affected by it as well. He's been sleeping longer and longer until yesterday when he didn't get up at all. I had been forced to lug a heavy bag from class to class, but I didn't mind so much as I worried about him. The fact I couldn't do anything to help him was pissing me off. I closed my eyes and tried to get some more sleep. I was going to help Hermione and the others get started on learning wandless magic in the morning after all.
During the day
I was heading upstairs to take a nap when I bumped head first into someone. I landed on my butt ass and shook my head lightly as I muttered, "Shit."
I heard a low chuckle and looked up to see the vampire-like man, Krory. He held out a hand to me, "Let me help you up."
"Sorry for bumping into you," I said after I got up, "I wasn't watching where I was going,"
"You seemed deep in thought," He nodded his head slightly, "Something on your mind?"
"Nah just tried," I say with a small smile.
He seemed to notice something and asked, "Are you alright? You look a little sick?"
"Nah just tired," I repeat my earlier statement, "I'll be okay after getting a nap,"
"I suppose so," He looked around slightly, "Where is your familiar? He's usually with you,"
"He's sleeping," I answer though I flinched a bit, "He's been doing that a lot lately,"
"Oh?" He seemed to notice the flinch, "Is he alright?"
I shrug and wondered why I felt comfortable talking about Winter's health. Then again this guy isn't someone that was likely to go report everything he hears about me to Dumbledore, I bit my lip before sighing, "I don't know. He's been sleeping a lot lately and hasn't woken up for the last two days."
"Has he ever done that before?" Krory looked curious and I think I saw a flicker of some emotion in his eyes.
I frowned slightly before shaking my head, "No he hasn't. Not even when I got him as a cub. He's always awake with me unless I order him to take a nap or he feels that I'm safe."
"I see," He hummed softly before asking me something that caught me off guard and caused my hackles to be raised, "Are you having odd dreams? Dreams that seem so real that they felt like memories?" He paused before asking, "Dreams where the feeling of being touched lingers long after the dream is over?"
I stared hard at him as I silently panicked inside. The only people who knew about my dreams were my friends and even then only a select few knew the extent of the dreams. Even to those few, I kept quiet about some effects. The effect of being hugged in them was one of them. I moved away from the man and shake my head, "I need to get going."
I took off without looking back as I tried to get away from the vampire-like man.
With Krory
He frowned silently as he watch the girl run off. The panic he had seen in her eyes told him that she had been having those dreams. If he was right, the girl was truly Polarise. Daisya walked up next to him and asked, "What'd you do to her Krory? She looked kinda panicked."
"I asked her some questions," Krory replied and began to walk down the stairs, "I think it's time we brought in the Earl on our find,"
"What do you mean?" Daisya asked as he followed the older Exorcist, "And where's her familiar? I noticed that he hasn't been around her since three nights ago,"
"He's been sleeping for the last two days," Krory answered causing the jester-like Exorcist to pause before grinning, "I assume you know what that means?"
"Her familiar might be Winter gaining his memories back?" Daisya asked with excitement in his voice, "Hell Yeah!" He then looked at Krory, "What did you ask her about?"
"I asked her if she was having odd dreams," Krory answered as they made their way down the Grand Staircase, "I asked her if she was having dreams so real that they felt like memories. I ask her if she was having dreams where the feeling of being touched lingered long after the dream was done," He closed his eyes lightly as they made their way outside, "After we're done our patrol, let's write a letter to them,"
"Better to do with where those listening spells are?" Daisya asked causing Krory to nod, "I'll take the west today. You take the east,"
"Right," Krory nodded and the two separated.
With Frost
I panted softly as I leaned against the wall of the third floor. How had he known about the dreams? How did he know about the extent of them? I closed my eyes as one of the questions popped back into my mind, "Dreams that seem so real that they felt like memories?"
Dreams that seem so real that they feel like memories? Yeah most of the dreams felt like that come to think about it. All of them did except in the beginning, but then again not much happened in them other than a few snippets. I frowned before pushing myself off the wall as I noticed that I wasn't far from the library. Sleep could wait since I needed to see if Madame Prince had any books on the subject.
A short time later
I sat at one of the back corners of the library with a small stack of books in front of me. It had taken a bit of convincing, but Madame Prince had helped me find the books I was looking for as well as a few that contained some words that had popped up quite frequently during my dreams. Each of the books on dreams seeming to be memories all centered around three ideas. The first was merely someone like my parents imprinting the memories of certain events into my mind when I was a baby to help me when I grew older. The second was that someone had cast a rather complex illusion over me and the 'dreams' were actually my real life while the one I was living was merely a reality the caster had placed my mind in. The third was that the 'dreams' were actually memories from a previous life that were being unlocked either due to an event triggering them or some kind of power being ingrained into the memories to make them activate once a certain level of maturity was released. I discounted the 2nd one because the flaw in that theory was that illusions can't affect someone who's magic is aligned to illusions. The second was discounted after much thought because my parents wouldn't put some of the things in my dreams that pop up. I shiver slightly at the memory of some of those dreams. The third was the only option and led me to the book I was about to look at. The second part of the theory spoke of one word and one word alone. The word was one of the ones that I wanted to look up due to the fact it was mentioned frequently during my dreams. I breathed out the word as I picked up the book, "Noah.."
The book in my hand's was old. A lot older than most of the books that I had seen. It looked like it was about to fall apart though Madame Prince told me that the book was warded against such things every few months. I felt my fingers shake as I opened the book and was immediately met with a huge pentagram sitting in the direct center of the page. Over the top and the bottom three to four words were written each. The top said the books title 'The clan of Noah'. The bottom said 'The Millennium Earl'. The two names sent a shiver down my spine and I felt my throat tighten. I shook myself firmly to stop and berated myself for acting like this even if something seemed to stir inside of me. I opened the next page and began to read what was written there:
The clan of Noah or the Noah clan are the decedents of Noah and his children. All humans on Earth are the descendants of Noah and his family, who survived the Great Flood and populated the Earth once more. Every so often, and when there is a vacancy within the Family, a gene within a random human, called the "Noah gene", awakens, turning that human into a Noah and causing them to fall under the influence of his hatred and memories stored within their blood. It was originally believed that at their greatest, the Noah Family will have fourteen members, including the Earl of Millennium who leads them. When one of the members dies, an indeterminate amount of time later the same Noah will awaken in a new human, though under a new human name and a new human mindset. Each member of the Noah Family is known as an 'Apostle', and each Apostle has their own Noah name, though a few choose to continue to go by their human name. Members of the Noah Family, when they are in their Noah forms, are distinguished by their darkened skin, amber eyes, bluish black hair (with the exception of a few) and the line of black, cross-like markings that go across their foreheads, called stigmata.
The Noah clan were the top dogs so to speak, but soon the human's gained a weapon to combat them. Innocence was what they called it with the most powerful being known as The Heart of Innocence. Thousands of years ago, the Noah fought the first users of Innocence in a battle so great it destroyed the world, an event known in the Old Testament as "The Great Flood", though it was documented as "The Three Days of Darkness" by the ancient civilization. After the first incarnation of the Earl died fighting against the wielder of the Heart of the Innocence, the remaining twelve Apostles repopulated the Earth, making Noah's blood the ancestor strain of all humans of the current generation. The ancient civilization, prophesied the return of the Earl and the Noah, left behind the Innocence for future generations to find, leaving instructions in one particular piece of Innocence, known as the Cube.
The greatest enemy of the clan was known as the Exorcists for they wielded the innocence to wage war against the clan. The war lasted for many years as neither could let go of their hatred until something occurred. Two of the clan, The Earl and the 14th, fell in love with an Exorcist. The love blossomed until two amazing things came about. A pair of children with the blood of the Noah clan and the blood of the Exorcists; One boy and one girl. The two children would one day become the stars of the war so to speak, but alas tragedy occurred. The eldest child was given away by the Exorcist due to the Exorcist not being able to raise girl. The child was unknown to the clan until many years later. The younger of the two was born just 3 years after with the whole clans knowledge, but tragedy occurred when the Exorcists struck. The child was given to a friend of the Exorcist that ran from the battle, but alas when the friend was found, the friend was dead and the child gone.
Years would pass until either of the children were found. Both children became wielders of innocence and joined the Exorcists in their war. The two discovered each other and then a care taker after a few years together. The caretaker would become very dear to the two, but alas tragedy struck. The children's caretaker was killed and the two mourned. The Elder was quick to push down the grief she felt to try to find a solution for the two. The younger however mourned much deeper and the pain he felt drew the Earl to him. The Earl offered him a way to bring the caretaker back and the younger, being a naive child, took the deal. However, hope turned to horror as he realized what he had done.
You see the Earl brings someone back by creating a skeleton of Dark Matter and has them call the departed soul of the loved one back, the soul then becoming trapped within the skeleton and forced to obey the Earl's will. Once trapped within the skeleton, the soul then "puts on" the body of the loved one who called it back, using their skin to move around in the human world in disguise. The trapped souls become known as Akuma at that moment. The Akuma are the servants of the noah clan
The caretaker realized what the child had done and shouted at him. He was ordered by the Earl, who did not know that the child was his, to kill the child and wear the child's body. The caretaker was forced to obey, but the child's innocence activated, in the shape of a large metal claw with a glowing cross on the back of the hand, at that moment and saved him. However, the child was cursed to be able to see the souls of the Akuma. The Elder child arrived in just enough time to see what had happened and was devastated. In her highly emotional state, she did not notice the Earl leaving or an Exorcist arriving.
The two were taken in by the Exorcist to be trained to join the war. They trained and trained until the Exorcist separated them. The elder was sent off to join the order of the Exorcists. However, the elder it seemed did not want to join either side. During the training the Exorcist had given the two, she had become doubtful of the world and realized that some of the hate the Noah had for humans was in the right place. She however went along because she wished to protect the younger even though at the time she did not know he was her brother.
Time passed for the two and finally the younger became a member of the Order. The two became friends with many there, but alas things once again took a diffrent turn.
Small time skip
I stared down at the book in my hands as I shook lightly. The book had outlined most of the dreams though parts of it hadn't been in the dreams. I read over the list of abilities the Noah Clan had again as well as the Noah Apostles:
The abilities are diffrent for all Noah though there are five core abilities that all of them posses:
1)Natural command of all Akuma: All Noah have the ability to command Akuma to do whatever they want, both verbally and telepathically. The extent of this influence is so complete that Noah can command Akuma to self-destruct, even if it is against the Akuma's will.
2) Akuma Blood Oil Immunity: Though they are human, Noah are immune to the poisonous effects of Akuma blood oil.
3) Noah's "Memory": The driving force behind the will that all Noah feel, it creates their thirst for blood and their hatred of Innocence and those who wield them, and, when a Noah is in a life threatening situation, it awakens their full potential, increasing their power and stamina dramatically.
4) Familial Empathy: Noah are able to sense when a member of their 'family' dies, a situation that seems to sadden the Noah within them.
5) Dark Matter abilities: All Noah members have their special abilities based off Dark Matter, which grants them each a unique and powerful ability, making them deadly fighters. This also makes them vulnerable to Innocence, but at the same time, allows them to destroy Innocence by merely touching one.
The clan members of the Noah include:
1) Adam-The Earl of Millennium
2) Toraido-The Judge of the Noah
3) Joido-The Pleasure of the Noah
4) Dezaiasu-The Desire of the Noah
5) Wisely-The Wisdom of the Noah
6) Fiidora-The Corrosion of the Noah
7) Maashiima-The Pity of the Noah
8) Raasura-The Wrath of the Noah
9) Road- The Dreams of the Noah
10&11) Bondomu-The Bonds of the Noah
12) Rasutoru-The Lust of the Noah
13) Maitora-The Ability of the Noah
14) Nea- The Musician of the Noah
15) Polarise- The Creativity of the Noah
16) Allen- The Balance of the Noah
I bit my lip as I read over that again though my eyes stop on the 3rd and the 15th. The 3rd made my heart race in my chest while the second made me feel as if I was gaining something back. I shook my head and shut the book as I decided that for now I should go rest. I stacked the books in my arms and went around the library depositing them in their proper places. I made my way to the doors of the library causing Madame Prince to ask, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
I contemplated it before nodding, "Yes and thank you for your help. I put all the books back where they belong."
"Thank you," She said in and I gave a nod in return, "Have a nice night Frost,"
I inclined my head and left without another word. She would no doubt be checking to see if I had put them all back. I began the slow trek to the lions den with sleep on my mind. I needed time to let all the information sink in and sleep would be the best option for me to do that. I entered the common room and found that it was empty meaning that dinner was most likely going on. I almost sighed in relief and made my way up the stairs and into my dorm room. I quickly changed into my night clothes and crawled into bed next to Winter while shutting the curtains around my bed. I ran a hand through his fur and murmured, "Wake up soon Winter. I need your advice on what I've learned. You've missed so much today and I...I miss having your presence as a constant by my side. It feels horrible without you there. I feel exposed without you. Please Win," I knew I was begging him, but damn it I want my familiar back, "Wake up soon."
My pleas went unheard as the leopard continued to slumber on and I sighed before curling up against him. His comforting presence wrapped around me like a blanket and eased me to sleep. I sighed softly in content as I lost all sense of the world.
End of chapter. How do you all like it? I know Nea and Allen would be the same, but in my fic they aren't. You don't like it? Stop reading or just don't care about it. I hope you all liked it
