CHAPTER VI: Introducing Noah's Family

-----~*~---~*~---~*~-----S-I-N-N-I-N-G---A-N-G-E-L-----~*~---~*~---~*~-----

After about a week of Lavi being himself and Allen having to deal with matters without the Book, those two had started to get along pretty well. Allen learned that Deak had never really liked getting friends, but soon understood that Lavi was completely different from that. It was a very nice change from the sour and kind of mean Lavi he had to deal with before.

Allen himself had to try and understand Lavi and his feelings more as he used the Book for nothing but writing things he found out about the redhead. He actually liked that as he had to act very human to understand humans, and according to him that was loads of fun.

Also, now it was easier to find out about Lavi's sins as he told Allen all of them if he was asked. Apparently the reason Lavi could afford having an apartment for himself without having a job was that he stole from his father. Marian Cross was rich, but had never cared to give Lavi anything, so Lavi decided to run away. So all in all; Lavi was a really good thief actually.

Allen could have sworn he had seen Lavi watching him while showering twice that week too, as well as watching or reading porn when Allen was out shopping. So the main sin he had would have to be Lust, and the commandment he broke the most was the one saying you shall not steal. At least Allen knew what he had to work on now.

"Lavi, you know you have watched me take a shower three times now?" Allen asked from where he sat on the couch eating Strawberry-Carrot-Pie.

"Yeah, so?" Lavi asked from where he was sitting in a chair watching some anime on TV.

Allen sighed. Lavi really felt no shame.

"Would you mind stopping that?" he asked the redhead.

Lavi shrugged, making Allen sigh again.

"It's a sin, Lavi," the angel explained. "And you know that the more you sin the longer I have to be here."

"Which means I'll be able to look at you in the shower even more then," the redhead said and smirked.

Allen hit his head on the table. That had certainly not been his point at all. He knew Lavi knew what he meant, but the damned redhead just had to make everything so… so… so Lavi-ish. Allen sat up again.

"All right, I'm bored," he said.

Lavi groaned. He hated it when Allen was bored. The Exorcist always wanted to something social then, like going out or wanting to learn things again. Lavi couldn't help it then; Deak took over pretty much all of his personality then.

"Let's go into the city and do something," Allen said happily and grabbed one of Lavi's hands.

He tried to pull the teen after him, but Lavi wouldn't budge. He really didn't want to go out…

"Come on, Lavi." Allen complained. "It will be fun."

"You know, you're kinda bitchy sometimes," the redhead complained, but got up nonetheless; Allen wouldn't stop annoying him before he went along.

-----~*~---~*~---~*~-----S-I-N-N-I-N-G---A-N-G-E-L-----~*~---~*~---~*~-----

"Ooooh, look," Allen said happily and held up a white and pink doggy-plushie to show it to Lavi. "Isn't it cute?"

"Sure, whatever," Lavi muttered.

Allen hit him over the head.

"Lavi, you can't go Deak again," he pretty much scolded. "That's breaking the commandment that says you shouldn't lie."

"Yeah, and hitting others is okay?" Lavi almost yelled back.

"Good boy, you know what you're not supposed to do," Allen said, smiled and patted Lavi on the head as if he was a dog. "Anyways, can I have this doggy?"

He held up the plushie again. Lavi groaned. Allen was over hundred-and-fifty years!? He acted like a little brat! The redhead was pretty sure he did it only to annoy him, but then again; Allen was very unpredictable. So in the end Lavi bought Allen the plushie.

"I'm gonna call it Mana," he said and hugged it.

"Why?" Lavi asked, but not in the irritated voice he had used before; seeing the angel happy and stuff had made him somewhat… not Deak-ish.

"That was my father's name, remember?" Allen said and smiled a little sad smile.

Lavi immediately felt bad for asking him that, but didn't let it show. They walked in silence for ten more minutes, none of them really sure of what to talk about. Suddenly Allen grabbed Lavi and pulled him behind a bookshelf outside a bookstore.

"Hey, what-?" Lavi started, but Allen put his hand over his mouth.

"Be quiet," he whispered and looked at something behind Lavi.

Being as curious as he was Lavi turned around to see what Allen was looking at. The only thing Lavi saw that could have frightened the angel was a tall man with dark skin and black hair. He looked kind of handsome where he stood and flipped through some books outside the same bookstore they were in front of.

"Is it that guy you're afraid of?" Lavi whispered and pointed at him.

Allen nodded.

"Yes, that's Tyki Mikk," he said.

Lavi's eyes widened. That was Tyki Mikk? Seeing as he had tried everything to suppress the memory of the time he was raped he had done everything to forget about that man, including his looks. Now that he looked at him again he remembered him.

"Oh, was it he who… you know," Allen said, trying not to open up old wounds in Lavi's mind.

"Yeah," the redhead said miserably. "Is that why we're hiding from him?"

"Umm, not really," Allen explained. "He's a Noah; he's out to get me."

"Okay," Lavi said slowly. "Why?"

Allen sighed.

"Well, you know the story about Noah and the Ark, right!?" he asked and Lavi nodded. "Noah was to collect two of each creature on Earth, but he failed. He almost completed that mission, but there was one creature he didn't have on the Ark; angels."

"But," the redhead said, trying to figure out everything Allen told him. "Don't angels live in Heaven? With God, safe from all the floods?"

"Indeed, but there are some people who believe that angels should have been on the Ark anyways, and they call themselves Noah's Family. They have tried to capture angels for centuries, but it's very difficult for people to catch angels as we live in Heaven. However, whenever we're at Earth they can."

Lavi stared at Allen.

"So…," he said. "He's trying to catch you in order to complete the Ark?"

Allen nodded.

"And he knows you're here how?"

Allen shrugged.

"Makes… sense…"

The angel grabbed Lavi's arm again and pulled him away from the bookstore and Tyki.

"All right, I don't think he saw us," Allen said and smiled a weak smile. "But I'm terribly sorry I dragged you into this… Anyways, as long as we're at your place I think we should be safe-"

"Ooooh, look what I found," a girl's voice said happily, causing both Lavi and Allen to stop.

A little girl, around thirteen or so, with blue hair and a lollipop in her hand was standing right in front of them, staring at Allen.

"I found a little angel," she said and stepped closer to them.

Allen gulped. The girl's name was Road Kamelot, a very young, but faithful and loyal member of Noah's Family. Allen had met her once before, but as it had only been her then he had gotten away fairly easy. Now that Tyki was around too he wasn't so sure if it would be just as easy to get away.

"Good work, Road," a man's voice said behind Lavi and Allen.

They turned around; Tyki Mikk.

"My my, so this is Allen, the Walker!?" he said and eyed Allen. "Road has told me about you. It's a pleasure to meet you, Allen."

He then noticed Lavi who was staring at him and eyed him to. Then he realized who he was.

"Oh right, you're Cross' kid, right!?" he said, smirking. "Lavi wasn't it!?"

Lavi hadn't noticed it himself, but he had suddenly stepped a lot closer to Allen. The thought of being face to face with a man who had traumatised him so badly was really frightening.

Allen felt sorry for the redhead, even thought Tyki and Road weren't after him. He had to think of a way to get away, and fast. He couldn't exactly grab Lavi and fly away as people would possibly see them. He doubted they could outrun them either. And fighting went against God's rules, so they shouldn't fight them either.

"Tyki, we should just get Allen and leave," Road complained, clearly bored.

"I guess you're right," Tyki said. "So, coming with us by own free will, or must we force you?"

He reached out to grab Allen's arm, but before he could as much as touch the boy he felt a stinging pain in his face. He and Allen turned around to look at Lavi.

"Touch him and I'll do more than just hit you," he said, clearly pissed off. "Come on, Allen."

He grabbed Allen's hand and pulled him after, running away from the man and the girl. Road had gone over to Tyki to see if he was all right.

"Heh, that sure is Lavi all right," Tyki said and rubbed the place he had been hit.

"He's hit you before?" Road asked.

"Yes, but that time it was a turn-on."
