I do not own - Man.


Chapter 5:

"Welcome Ladies!" The owner of the place said (I don't know how to speak Spanish- so forget it- I'm not making a fool of myself!) "Please, we have reserved seats for you. This way please." He showed us our table where we sat down.

We arrived in Spain fast enough and without any incident- probably why we got to Spain fast. The guitar in question was being played by the son of the owner of a restaurant- the one we were in now. Man, I can't wait till the food gets here.

"There hi is." Lenalee said looking up to a place that was a little elevated. I looked up and saw a guy around our age with curly brown hair sit on a chair. He looked over our way- he had amazing green eyes.

"What would you like, redhead?" he asked. I knew he was talking to me. What can I say? When you have copper hair people tend to notice it.

"Know any bluegrass or country songs?" I asked him.

"I'm afraid not Lady. But if you meat me after the show, I'll be more than willing to learn." He smiled. "In the meantime, how about something Spanish?"

"Sounds good." I smiled back. He started playing. He was good. I was surprised. The music was really captivating.

"Here is your food Ladies." The waiter said placing the food on the table. Now the music became more like background music. I was hungry! Having a parasitic type of innocence is hard on the body! Food is necessary- music a necessity.

"It's good to see a girl with such an appetite. I looked left and saw the guy sitting at the table with me and Lenalee. People were leaving the restaurant or being seated.

"What's the time? How long has it been?" I asked startled. I didn't even notice the music stopping.

"It's been half an hour- you've been eating the whole time." He replied. I looked at Lenalee- why wasn't she answering me? She was just staring at the platform.

"Lollypop?" I asked her.

"She's still hearing the music." He interrupted. "You're the only one not to react to it."

"Oh." Came the reply- what do you say to that? "Who are you?"

"Maximus. You can call me Max." He held out his hand and smiled. "And your name would be, Beautiful, perhaps?"

"Nice try." I laughed. "My name's Hannah, and I've got someone." I shook his hand.

"Lucky man." Max sighed. I looked at Lenalee "How do I snap her out of it?" I asked him.

"I don't know."

"Right." I leaned over and smacked Lenalee's face. "Lollypop!" She stirred and turned to me.

"Wha-what happened?" She asked.

"You got hypnotized. This is Max, by the way." I pointed at Max, they shook hands. "Can you explain things. I'm bad at it."

"No you're not." She replied smiling. "You just find it troublesome." She turned to Max "We're from the Black Order. Ever heard of it?"

"No." He shook his head- his hair is what really moved, it was so curly.

"Well it's part of the church." She explained "we deal with supernatural occurrences. This is because they mainly happen due to a substance called innocence. Innocence is a material that helps exorcists- people like me and Hannah- fight demons. More correctly called Akuma. And Akuma-"

"Are right behind you." Said a shrill voice. We looked up and saw a level two with five level one around him. "Fire!" The level two shouted. The level one's shot.

"Get down!" I yelled at Max.
