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 Seven
Luna sat and stared at the unmoving form of the one she called big sister. She had seen that this was going to happen, but she could do nothing about it. It was to happen no matter what. It was what happened to all those who would become one of the Noah clan. She had thought that it wouldn't happen until that clan got here, but it seemed her inner Noah had decided to awaken. She felt angry at herself for not telling Frost about the pain she was about to go through or what the dreams were. Every time she told someone about their future, it always turned out worse. A tear trickled down from her eye as she stared down at the girl. She spoke softly as she curled up in the chair next to the bed, "Please Frost...Please Big sister make it through this and come back to me...I need my big sister...please..."
With Frost
I felt warm, yet also very cold. Something was slithering across my body like a snake and I wanted to get it off of me because it was disturbing. I tried to move, but I couldn't even twitch. It was like my body was frozen solid or something. I tried to open my eyes, but it was like they were glued shut. I began to panic only to feel something...familiar brush across my cheek. It felt both warm and cold, yet silky to the touch as it brushed the skin of my cheek. It made whatever was keeping my eyes closed seemingly disappear. I blink open my eyes and found myself in a dark place with withering shadows surrounding me. They had a purple tint to them as they moved around like snakes. I tried to move my head and found that I could move it side to side, but not up and down. I found myself surrounded by loosely floating ribbons of black lined white ribbons that kept the shadows from getting too close. The ribbons would sometimes open wide and the shadows would brush across my skin. The ribbons would quickly slam down on the shadows and cut the part that was touching me from the rest. The cut part would dissolve with a soft hiss while the rest of it's 'body' would quickly retreat while shaking slightly as it regrew the part that had been cut.
I watched as this continued until the shadows seemed to have enough and pressed closer. A few managed to get to me and wrapped around my arms. A pair grabbed my legs while one grabbed me by the neck. Agony that I often associated with burning suddenly sparked at the points that were being held. It crawled along my arms and legs as the one on my neck began to pulse agony in a slow beat though it did not move. A brief relief came in the form of the ribbons tearing at the shadows and removing them only for the agony to return as new shadows latched on. Each time the ribbons tore one off, the agony became worse as the next one took it's place. I couldn't even scream as the energy to do so was sapped away with each new round of agony.
The ribbons seemed to be getting overwhelmed and the agony increased tenfold as more of the shadows latched onto me. I began to fear that the agony would take me over as a bubble of pressure began to build in my chest. The pressure increased as more agony seared through me and more shadows attached themselves to me. The agony spread slowly from each point all headed straight to the core of my being, my chest, my heart, my very soul. The pressurized bubble got bigger and bigger as the agony got closer to my heart. When the agony finally reached it, the bubble burst open. Suddenly waves of calm began to crash through me as the shadows were forced away from me.
I felt what was holding me from moving break away causing me to fall slightly only for something to catch me. I opened my eyes though I do not know when I closed them and gasped softly. Curled around me was a gigantic white fox. It's eyes glowed a brilliant silvery green as it glared at the flowing tails swished around and the shadows hissed at the light that seemed to be coming from within the fox, no it's not just a fox, but a kitsune. The ribbons began to swirl lightly around the kitsune and brushed against me. The kitsune turned it's eyes on me and I was stuck by the memory of the crystal that had lodged itself in my heart. My eyebrows scrunched together before I murmured, "You're the crystal that I found in the Department of mysteries?" The kitsune nodded and I turned slightly, "That means the ribbons are my...magic?" The ribbons swirled and danced in the air causing me to giggle, "But what are the shadows around us?" The kitsune snorted softly, "You know, but I need to figure it out?" I got a nod in return, "Great, so if you want me to figure that out, can you tell me where we are?" I asked and one of the kitsune's tails tapped my forehead then the area of my chest right over my heart, "So we're in my mind's representation of my core," The kitsune nodded, "Then the shadows are..." The memory of the book I had read hit me and suddenly the shadows didn't look like shadows anymore, "They're," The shadows seemed to change from the snakes made of shadows and into a thick billowing purple lined mist, "Dark Matter," The mist seemed to pulse and suddenly a figure emerged from the mist,"Holy shit," The figure was a nine tailed kitsune just as large as the one made from the crystal, but this one was black with a few streaks of purple and had golden eyes, "A-are you a part of me?"
The kitsune nodded and I felt the need to touch it. The kitsune holding me growled softly as if to tell me to keep away from the other kitsune. I shook my head lightly and pushed the tails away. I moved forward and reached out towards the black kitsune. It moved towards me and lowered it's head softly until my hand was just an few inches from it's forehead. I placed my hand on the black kitsune's head before reaching back towards the white kitsune's head. The white kitsune stared at me for a moment before lowering it's head and allowing me to touch it's forehead. A deep, unrelenting warmth swirled through me as the ribbons wrapped around us. Suddenly, I felt something pressing against my forehead and looked up to find a glowing ball made of swirling mist. I stared at it as it slowly came closer and instinctively bent my head forward. I jolted slightly as my mind seemed to start to burn as the ball slowly began to sink into my forehead. Ripples of pain hit me as the ball suddenly seemed to hit a wall. I gasp softly as the ball pressed harder and harder causing the pain to increase. My eyes closed as I heard twin growls of pain and anger from either side of me, yet neither of the kitsune withdrew from their place. The ribbons tightened as the wall in my mind began to crack and shudder. I finally let out a scream as the wall broke after a short while. The ball disappeared into my skull, but I could feel it as it broke apart into tendrils. The tendrils slid through my mind and seemed to settle all over the place.
Slowly the growls from both kitsune stopped as the ribbons slowly loosened and the pain began to fade away. I gasp softly as it felt like all my energy was being drained away. With each movement of the mist, my body seemed to grow heavier and heavier until I was forced to drop to the ground. The two kitsunes laid down around me and I giggled softly as the thought of Yin and Yang ran through my mind. The ribbons seemed to droop before laying across all three of us. Slowly my eyes closed and I allowed myself to fall asleep even as the mist continued to settle over my mind.
Images blared through what was supposed to be a peaceful sleep. Sights, sounds, smells, touches, and tastes followed the images. Suddenly as I watched the images go by, I began to piece together the dreams that I had been having. The white haired boy named Allen was my little star, my little brother. The green haired girl with those odd boots was Lenalee. The red haired, rabbit-like boy was Lavi the bookman. The blue haired samurai was Kanda the baka-samurai. The purple haired man wearing a white beret and building Robots was Komui the chief and at one time my boss. The vampire-like man Krory. The jester-like man Daisya. The klutzy, but kind Miranda. The red haired bastard Cross. The sadistic little brat, Road. The ever annoying, Sheril. The ever smiling, Earl. The mind reading annoyance Wisely. The calm and good listener Lu Lu Bell. The idiotic, but always hilarious twins Devit and Jasdero. The serious and strict Toraido. The creepy Fiidora. The ever mocking Maashiima. The always working, but always ready to share ideas with Maitora. The fun loving and kind Nea. Finally, the cat like and mischievous, but at times sadistic Tyki. Each one was so important to me and I hated that I had forgotten them.
The memories slowly pieced themselves together and I remembered everything from start to finish. I remember my earliest memory of being sold to the circus by the one that was supposed to take care of me. Find Allen in the Circus though his name had been Red. Meeting Mana and gaining him as a caretaker. Learning magic from Mana and gaining Winter as my familiar. Mana dying and Allen trying to get him back with the help of the Earl. Allen being cursed and his innocence activating. Cross taking us in and 'training' us. Being sent to the order three years before Allen would get to come. Meeting Daisya and everyone. Lavi coming along. Allen coming to the order while I was on a mission. Going on missions with my brother and meeting Tyki for the first time in human form. The many troubles and Noah's I met when Komui sent us to search for Cross. Having to split off from Allen and the rest due to a new mission. Awakening as a Noah for the first time. Find out that Tyki was a Noah. Being dragged back to the order by the generals and almost being executed because they believed I was a Noah. They hadn't known at the time that I was, but I wasn't going to inform them of it. Escaping with Winter from the execution and being on the run. Crows sent by Lvellie attacking me while trying to capture me and getting closer to Tyki. Meeting the Noah family at a ball. Finding a place to call home. Continuing to run from the Crows being sent after me. Finally the memories seem to slow until one played out before me...
Memory
"I can't let this happen," I growl as I started at the battle field where those I loved were gathered, "This isn't right! They shouldn't be fighting," Winter growled softly and butted his head against my leg, "I know what they said, but I can't let this happen," I looked down at him and smiled slightly even as the battle began, "You don't have to stay with me for this Winter. You know what will happen," He growled and glared up at me causing me to giggle softly, "It was worth a try stubborn one," He snorted and we began the slow walk to the battlefield, "Until the end right?"
He nodded as we heard someone shout, "Damn it! There's too many Akuma!"
"We're not going to make it!" I heard one Exorcist shout.
I shook my head sadly as I made my way through the chaos. I dodged attacks from both sides and soon found myself in the center of it all. Clashing against each other were The Earl and Allen. Allen's face was as hard as stone, but I could see the pain in those silver orbs. My fingers curled around the item that I had in my pocket and I shuddered lightly as a brief moment of doubt filled me. I pushed it away as I heard Allen shout, "We need to end this!"
"Quite right," The Earl agreed.
"Then I'll end this," I said before taking the item out of my pocket and throwing it into the air.
"Polarise!" I heard multiple shouts as the item began to glow.
I offered them a slightly melancholy smile before turning my eyes to the item. It was a deep jet black with silver lines on it. A silver symbol sat in the direct center of it. A triangle with a line going down the middle and a circle around the line. Dark energy began to flow from it and I found myself looking at the Earl. His eyes were wide with horrified knowing causing me to nod at him. I spoke softly as I stared at him, "Family is everything, so when a sacrifice must be made for it, I will be happy to make it."
"Polarise," He murmured, "You shouldn't-"
I shook my head, "I've done enough of standing around and watching you all fight. I'm tired of watching those I love die. I'm tired of it all, so I'm going to do something to stop this war," I turn my eyes towards the item again as it slowly lowered it's now dark energy covered form, "I'm going to do something even if it means that I'm not going to make it."
"Polarise what the hell are you talking about?" Lavi demanded causing me to smile a bitter smile.
"I'm ending this damn war in the only way I can," The air became as cold as ice, "I can't let any of you die killing each other," The wind dropped and time seemed to still, "The only way I can do that means to give something in order to end the contract with the one that caused this,"
A bone chilling laugh echoed through the air causing many to shiver. The ones that were about to ask questions closed their mouths as the object seemed to expand until it was vaguely the size of mountain. The dark energy shifted and changed to form two arms, a cloaked head, a massive scythe, and a long body. Dark golden purple eyes stared down at me from within the hood. I offered the hooded figure a small bow as it demanded, "Why have you summoned me child?"
"Hello Death," I greeted the mountainous being that I could tell was male with a small smile, "I've summoned you to cut a deal,"
"A deal?" He asked causing me to nod as I looked up at him, "And what type of deal would that be?"
"End the contract with the Noah clan, but allow them to keep all powers that belong with them such as dark matter and reincarnation cycle," I said causing him to look at me with interest.
"And what would you be willing to offer me in return?" He asked, "What you ask is something that would require quite the sacrifice. No jewels, riches, or the like would be enough,"
"I know," I took a deep breath before placing a hand over my heart, "I'm offering you my innocence,"
Shocked gasps explode from the crowd as I shifted into my Noah form and copied Tyki ability to grab my innocence where it rested in my heart. I pulled it out while wincing at the pain that seared through me and held the glowing crystal up to him. He lowered his hand and I set the crystal, that was dwarfed multiple times by the sheer size of it, onto the extended hand. Death brought his hand to his face and stared at the crystal before shaking his head, "While this is a good start, I cannot accept just this."
"I know," I smiled softly, "That's why I'm offer you my Noah form,"
He stared at me and shook his head, "Still not enough."
"My magic as well," Gasps sounded from those surrounding us.
"Still not enough though you're getting close," He looked at me, "Just what are you willing to give up?"
"My memories, my life, and," I bowed my head lightly and stared at the ground.
He grunted softly, "What else do you have to offer child?"
I smiled a melancholy smile and look up at him, "My very soul."
Shouts echoed around me, but I ignored them as I stared up at the being. His eyes were locked with mine and I knew he was assessing if I was truly offering all of this. His head was cocked to the side as he asked, "And why would you be so willing to do this child? Have they not done enough to you? The pain you've felt, the loneliness you had to endure, the fear you felt as you worried over them, and the betrayal of the order when they didn't even know the facts. Why?"
I smiled up at one of the most powerful beings in the world and said, "Love."
"Love?" He asked in disbelief.
"Love," I nodded as Winter cuddled into my legs, "Loyalty, compassion, trust, and so much more," I waved a hand at those around us, "They're the people that I love with all my heart. I accept that they've all done things that didn't work in my favor. I accept everything they've ever done to me: The good and the bad," I closed my eyes lightly and sigh before opening them again, "I've seen each and everyone of them do things that they shouldn't, but I know in my heart that I would protect them no matter what,"
"You're willing to give everything you have to me in order to give those you love a chance at peace?" He asked causing me to nod, "You do realize that if I accept this deal, you will not be walking away,"
"I know and I accepted it long before I summoned you," I closed my eyes lightly, "The only thing I ask is a chance to say good bye before you kill me,"
He stared at me long and hard before nodding, "Alright. You only have a short while."
He disappeared from sight though his presence still lingered. I turned to them only for a pair of arms to wrap around me as Allen hugged me. Tears built in my eyes as I hugged him back just as fiercely. He knew as well as I did that this wasn't a joke. He cuddled me close and asked, "Why 'Arise?"
"Because I love you idiots too much to let you die like that," I tell him, "I'm tired of seeing you guys get hurt because of a stupid deal,"
"So you decided to make another deal to get us out of the first one," The Earl said causing me to nod as Allen moved back a little, "A dangerous thing to call a being such as that here,"
I closed my eyes lightly and hum softly, "Dangerous it maybe, but it worked."
"All of this," Lavi waved his hands around as everyone gather around me, "Is because of some stupid deal?"
"Yes," I said before looking at all of them, "And now another damned deal will end the first stupid deal," I giggle at the thought before sobering, "I want you guys to stop fighting like this. The deal will be over, so please go and be at peace,"
"Che like that's going to happen over night," Kanda scowled at me.
"I know it won't Baka-samurai," I glared at him, "So stop think I'm expecting that," My lips twitch slightly, "I doubt you idiots could keep from fighting for five fucking minutes,"
"We can too!" Lavi protested causing me to shake my head in amusement.
"Polarise," I look to see Road walking towards me, "You're really doing this?"
I could see tears in her eyes and when I looked at the others, I could see tears in the eyes of all the Noah. I returned my gaze to the Noah of dreams and nodded, "Yes Road. I'm really doing this," She reached me and I reached over to wipe the tears that slid from her eyes away, "So stop crying. I'm always doing dangerous stuff, so this isn't anything diffrent."
"This time you're actually going to die!" She shouted with anger, "This is diffrent!"
"But I'm still doing it," I said causing her to stare at me, "I'm doing it because I love you guys enough to die for you," I smiled softly at her, "And I want to say that I forgive you for everything," She stared at me speechless and I turned to those all around me, "In fact, I forgive everyone for what they've done. No matter what you did to me, I forgive you for it," I turned slightly and looked at Cross, "Well most of you," I smiled as I returned my gaze to those around me as a whole, "I know that you guys are pretty much trying to deny it and want it to be a dream, but it isn't. I didn't cast a complex illusion. I didn't do anything to cause this," I breathed deeply through my nose, "Listen to me you guys. I maybe leaving this place, I maybe forgetting everything, I maybe damning myself, but I am ending the deal the Noah made with Death. You have no reason to be at war. I know that killing people and such can't be forgotten, but please forgive them since they had to do it for the deal," I smiled at them, "It's my last wish, so please be a dear and do it," I heard snorts of laughter, "I know I've done my fair share of stupid shit and this tops everything-"
"Hell yeah!" Someone shouted causing me to shake my head.
"But please do me a favor and try," I closed my eyes lightly, "I don't want to die to end a war only for all of you to start fighting again the moment I stop breathing," I open my eyes again, "You all would be a shitty batch of fucking bastards if you did that," I heard quite a few choked gasps at my language, "So please do it,"
I saw a few nods and smiled just as Death reappeared, "It's time."
I looked at him and nodded just as he waved his hand. A jet black tendril of shadow shot out of his hand and came straight at me. I stared at it as the tendril raced towards me and noticed that Tyki in full on Joido mode didn't have one quite like that. The tendril reached me and pierced my chest before going right through my heart. The tendril lifted me into the air as I coughed up blood before glowing darkly. I started to feel cold and realized with a pained whine that my magic was being drained from me. My dark matter followed after it causing me to feel as if I was ripped in two and the tendril slid from my body causing me to fall towards the ground. I was caught in Tyki's arms and he stared down at me in horror. I smiled a bloody smile up at him as I stared into his golden eyes and murmured, "I love you Tyki."
"I love you Polarise," I felt his and his inner Noah's agony, "I don't want you to die,"
"I know," I reached up weakly to cup his face, "But everything dies some day. I maybe going before my time, but knowing that all of you will live with a chance at peace makes me happy," I smiled at him, "I know it hurts, but please live...for me,"
"I will Meu Inverno(1)," He promised me causing me to smile before I weakly sat up and pressed my lips to his.
I pulled back and murmured, "Good bye Tyki Mikk. May we meet again someday."
He shook his head lightly, "This isn't good bye since those are for forever. It's merely a see you later."
"Copy cat," I giggle before coughing lightly.
My eyes began to close and the last thing I saw was Tyki's golden eyes filled with horrified sorrow. I wanted to take it all back if it would spare him this pain, but I couldn't.
End of dream
After that memory, I gained the memory of talking to both Death and Fate. The two had decided to use me in order to take out two very difficult souls that were long past their time in this world. They gave me something in return. Once I completed the task, my deal with Death would be complete and I could live as I wished to. It was after that moment, I was sent to Lily and James Potter. The rest is history. When I opened my eyes again, The two Kitsune's and the ribbons were still surrounding me. I offered them an apologetic smile as I murmured, "I'm sorry I used you guys like that. I won't do the same thing again."
The two kitsune's nodded as the ribbons moved about me. I looked around and noticed that we were in a large forest filled with mist. I smiled slightly before standing up. The two kitsune's that represented my innocence and my dark matter followed my example. I stretched lightly before I began to walk. I soon found a light shining in the darkness and knew that once I went to it, I would awaken in the real world. I patted both of the kitsune's and nodded to the ribbons before walking through it. It was time for me to rejoin my friends and soon my family...
