Chapter two: Hello Mr. Exorcist
"Well you get off it?" Ayume said, looking at Natsu who was floating next to her, with quite an angry face.
"At least I got them to stop chasseing you." Ayume continue.
"But it's still your fault that they started chasing me. Hmph. If you let me stay in, know of this would have happen." Natsu said.
"Just forgive me already you stubborn old goat." Ayume said.
"Hmph." Natsu said, turning his head away from Ayume.
"Forgive me and I'll give you a steak." Ayume offered.
"I love you, you big softie!" Natsu said hugging the side of Ayume's face. He's too easy.Ayume thought
Ayume and Natsu walked down the line of shops until they were able to find a pretty good hat shop. Natsu fell asleep as Ayume looked at several different hats before looking at a sunhat with a black ribbon, its ends fell off the hat. She was right next to the door, but didn't notice when someone else came into the store. Ayume was looking at the hat when she felt the cold ring of an Akuma gun pointed to her head. It transformed right in the shop, destroying it in the process. Everyone in the streets saw it, screamed and ran away.
"Too slow." Ayume said, jumping up, seconds before it fired. Ayume landed on the Akuma, sitting in between its guns. She put her first two fingers of her right hand right above the Akuma's face. A small white light, started out in Ayume's hand and then circled around Ayume's fingers into the Akuma.
"Level ones are easy to predict, you don't have any powers other than shooting your bullets, and you only become a problem when there's more than one." Ayume said looking down at her fingers. She gave off a small smile as she looked down at the Akuma, who was unable to move. Its mouth was open and eyes looked right up at her.
"But I got rid of most of them yesterday." Ayume said.
As if that was a que, about another ten Akuma appeared right behind her, all guns ready. She quickly jumped off as the bullets fired. For a while she just looked there, dumbfound, then she got angry.
"NATSU!" She yelled as she turned to the scaly beast.
"I swear, I didn't sense any more Akuma last night. Maybe this town is just really big." Natsu said as he looked out from under one of the hats. The Akuma fired, all guns, at full force. Quickly, Ayume drew out her Katana, and started spinning it, fast enough so it could deflect the bullets.
"This is why I hate level ones!" Ayume said.
"Well, they are quite annoying." Natsu said.
"So, any ideas?"
"You mean you DON'T HAVE ONE!?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I would have thought of one if I didn't think I DESTROYED THEM ALL LAST NIGHT!!"
"Oh, so this is my fault?"
"Well, YES!" Ayume, yelling as hard as she could at the last part. Damit it, Ayume! You have to think of something, Natsu's useless, and I'm stuck in this situation again. What do I do? Ayume thought as she rattled her brain.
It was around when Natsu and Ayume stopped arguing when a large white claw, came though destroying, the complete back row of the Akuma, the Akuma, stopped firing, as they looked behind them, to try and see what happen. Ayume, taking the chance she was given, jumped on to one of the Akuma, then driving her Katana through the face. Then, she jumped off, avoiding the blast. She stopped then, waiting for the smoke to clear, to see who had just helped her. Though the smoke, she could tell it was a boy, probably around fifteen, once the smoke cleared completely, she could see that he was an exorcist, with snow white hair and a red mark down his left eye, Allen. But did she really care about that, no she notice what he held in his right arm. She really cared about that.
"Hey, it's my hat!" Ayume said smiling, and pointing to the hat.
"So you're the girl from last night!" Allen said. Ayume's eyes darted to behind him. She grabbed one of her metal fans, opening it up completely.
"Behind you!" She yelled, throwing the fan like a frisbee, it went around Allen, though the Akuma behind him and back to her. Allen was stunned. He lifted his hand pointing to her.
"You're...You're... You're an exorcist?" He said. Ayume then caught her fan, closed it completely, she placed it against her chin and closed one of her eyes.
"Yep." She said. An Akuma appeared behind her, and it fired before, what it seems, she had a chance to react. The smoke cleared, but there was no sign that she got hit.
"Up here." She called. The Akuma, and Allen, looked up. Ayume was standing on a light pole, high up in the sky.
"Too slow." She said as she jumped off it. She grabbed her Katana, and threw it down, right though an Akuma. It exploded before she hit the ground. When she did, she grabbed her Katana, and jumped again when the Akuma fired at her. She landed next to Allen.
"Hat please." She said to Allen. In a middle of a fight and she worries about a hat? Allen thought as he handed her the sun hat.
"Natsu! Since your useless right now..." Ayume said, she threw the hat into the air, so Natsu could catch it. "Go take my hat to a safe place."
"Right." The white dragon said before disappearing in plain sight. She looked at Allen giving off a sweet smile, eyes closed. Allen started blushing at the sight of her.
"Shall we get rid of these pests?" She asked him. He smiled a bit.
"Yeah." He responded.
It toke close to about a half hour. Not because they were hard to defeat, but because as soon as they finished one wave, another wave, with twice as many would appear. But eventually, the waves stopped. Ayume was sitting on the ground panting hard, Allen was standing next to her, his arm deactivated, leaning down. I didn't think I would have to use so much energy. She thought. Damn those things are annoying. She looked to Allen, he was looking down to the ground. She slowly felt her heart speed up at the sight of him. Is something wrong with me? She thought placing her hand above her heart. She shook her hand, wrong or fine, there's no reason for her to act rude.
"Uh." She said to get his attention. He turned to her, as she lifted up her hand.
"My name's Ayume. No last name." She said. Allen shocks her hand with his.
"Allen Walker. Why don't you have a last name? Orphan?" He asked, smiling softly.
"More like family issues." Ayume said. Timcanpy then shot out from Allen's handcuff and flew around Ayume in circles. Ayume, some what followed the flying golden ball.
"Oh, sorry!" Allen said as he caught the end of Timcanpy's tail.
"Timcanpy! Don't do that. It'll confuse her." Allen said. Ayume, leaned in looking at Timcanpy.
"Is that a golem?" She asked Allen.
"Yeah, weird looking isn't it?" Allen said.
"I've seen weirder. Which reminds!" She said than she brought two fingers in her mouth and gave off a loud whistle. Just as fast as disappeared, Natsu reappeared in the same spot he disappeared.
"Where'd you go?" Ayume asked as Natsu gave her back her sunhat.
"A nice little mountain right by a lake." Natsu answered, as Ayume put the sunhat on. Allen and Timcanpy just looked at the scaly creature.
"uh..." Allen said pointing to Natsu.
"What is it?" Ayume said finishing his sentence.
"You can say he's an accident. He's half-golem half- animal. I think lizard." Ayume continued.
"Half-golem?" He asked, Timcanpy didn't break his stare at Natsu.
"The sad thing is that this is completely true." Natsu said. Ayume jumped up, to stand.
"That reminds me." She said one hand in a fist hitting down in her other hand that caught it.
"Allen?" She said as she spun around to see him. "Could you do me a favor and meet me by the restaurant that's right across from the church, please?" She said as she pointed to a big white church off in the distance.
"Uh.., sure. But why?" He asked looking at the white building.
"Well, lets just say that their are something's that are overdue." Ayume said turning in the opposite direction. Slowly she began to run off, Natsu flying quickly behind her.
"Well, see you then, Allen-kun." Ayume yelled, still looking at him waving her hand. Allen waved his hand a little bit. When she was out of sight, Allen's hand dropped and fell to his stomach. He leaned back against the wall for support, his breathing slightly became harder. He felt weird, but at the same time normal, he felt sick but fine. But for some strange reason, he felt warm, very warm, and very good.
"Tim." He said, the golden golem, flew down in front of his face.
"Have you heard of someone feeling a mixture of emotions, all at the same time?" Allen asked him. Timcanpy just looked as surprise as he could.
"Allen!" He heard someone call him. Allen looked up to see Lenalee and Lavi coming toward him.
"Hey," He said getting back on his feet.
"Allen, what happen? Did you run into any Akuma?" Lenalee asked.
"Yeah, we could see the explosions from across town." Lavi said.
"Yeah I ran in to some Akuma, don't worry though, I had help." Allen said,
"Help? From who?" Lenalee said,
"Remember how last night I told you about that girl surrounded by Akuma?"
"Yeah." Lenalee said,
"Wait, don't tell me, the girl's an exorcist and helped you fight the Akuma." Lavi said joking.
"Actually, yes." Allen said.
"Wow." Lavi said.
"So what happen to her?" Lenalee asked.
"She went off to get something and asked me to meet her by a restaurant that was across from the church."
"What did she go get?" Lavi said.
"She didn't say." Allen said, all the time Timcanpy rapidly flew around the air between the three of them.
Ayume open the door to her hotel room, threw her hat so it would land perfectly on one of the chairs, closed the door quickly and quickly laid down on her bed.
"Hm?" She said as she place her hand over her heart. "My heart's pounding." She turned to Natsu who found his place back at the shelf.
"Natsu! How long were we running?" She asked her little golem.
"Five minutes, ten tops." Natsu said as he got ready for a nap.
"My heart wouldn't be pounding after such a short time." She exclaimed, looking at her hands.
"Maybe it's pounding cause you like that curse exorcist." Natsu teased.
"Cursed?" Ayume asked.
"Didn't you notice the red mark down his left eye?" Natsu said.
"Mark..." Ayume said slowly, letting the word hang in the air.
"Nope." She then said quickly.
"BAKA (moron for those who don't know)!" Natsu yelled.
Ayume laid on the bed for a few more seconds before she jumped to the side of the bed and swung her head down to get a good view of what was under there. Under the bed, there was just about nothing except a small white box, that seem to create it's own light.
"Come to mama." Ayume said as she reached for it with one hand as the other helped her keep her balance. She grabbed the box than swing back to on top of her bed. She opened the white box, revealing about 10 different Innocence in there.
"Now they finally get to go where they belong." Ayume said raising the box high up in the air.
"Are you sure about this Ayume?" Natsu asked.
"How can I not be sure, Natsu? He is an exorcist after all!" Ayume said.
"Yeah, but still, something about that golem of his bothers me."
"You're probably jealous, I bet he can bit harder than you."
"Shut up!"
