Dadada! Chapter six is here!
Chapter six: The Black Order
How did they do this? How did they convince her to do this? Why her? These question rambled Ayume's head again and again as she entered the train, her sun hat on with Natsu under it. Lavi and Allen have found a way to connive Ayume to come to the Black Order with them and become a real exorcist. Natsu, warned her of the dangers that might happen if she went, but still they manage to convince Ayume to come with them. Ayume followed Lavi on to the train, Allen behind her, who let her stored her stuff in his suitcase. Is this a good idea? There are too many things that I want to keep hidden. And it could be come so easily dangerous if they find out one of them. Ayume thought. She bit her bottom lip. Shit, what if one of the older exorcist recognized me. Every part of her screamed that this was a bad idea, why oh why did she agree to this?
Six hours ago.
"NANI?!" Ayume yelled. "You want me to become an actual exorcist?"
"Why not? Your Innocence is amazing, you able to think quick, and you can sense other Innocence. You will be a great help to the Order." Lavi said a large smile on his face. Ayume shock her head violently.
"You don't want me. I won't be any help at all trust me!" Ayume said, her hands up and her face still had the appearance that it was still shock.
"Come on, the black order isn't bad, all the people are really nice, well except for Kanda and you don't have to try as hard to find an Innocence." Allen said all nice and sweet like.
"I like working alone, and I can find the Innocence on my on. Plus, Natsu isn't a people golem." Ayume said, trying to worm her way out of this.
"Ah, don't be like that Skater-chan, a lot of the scincetest are really funny, plus you get your own room, and you don't have to keeping from moving place to place." Lavi said. Ayume replayed it in her head. Well, I would like to stop moving from place to place. Ayume thought.
"Well..." Ayume said.
"Pst, Ayume." Natsu whisper in Ayume's ear quite enough so only Ayume could hear him.
"You that little thing call conscience? Well if it's waving a big red flag with big bold letters saying 'Danger, Danger', Then DON'T DO IT!!" Natsu said. Crap, who need should angels when you got these guys? Ayume thought.
"Well what do you say?" Allen said, smiling sweetly at her. Ayume could feel her cheeks getting warm.
"Hai." She said, smiling as she nodded her head once.
"Idiot." Natsu said hitting himself in the face with his small paw.
Present
Ayume look out the window, figures moving past they as quickly as they came. Lavi sat on one side, while Allen, who was in a daze, and Ayume sat on the other side. Timcanpy occupied the free seat next to Lavi, only to be glared at by Natsu, who was laying down on Ayume's lap. That golem looks so familiar. Natsu thought. Ayume was also looking at Timcanpy, she thought she seen something like him before, but where? She held the cup of tea that she was able to get before the train left, she paid for the cup, cause she wanted to enjoy the tea.
"Allen-kun?" Ayume finally said, snapping Allen out of the daze. She raise the tea to her mouth.
"Where'd you get Timcanpy from?" She asked him, taking a long sip of her tea.
"Timcanpy? Oh, from my old master, General Cross." Allen said. The moment he said General Cross, Ayume and Natsu's eyes shut open. Ayume, who chocked on her tea, instantly started cough, spraying tea all over Timcapny first (like a spit take), who did not look pleased.
"Ayume!" Allen yelled.
"Hey, are you alright?" Lavi asked, concerned about the soon to be exorcist.
"Cross?" Ayume said wiping a bit of tea from the corner of her mouth.
"Why do you know him?" Lavi asked, Natsu fainted once he heard the word Cross, his mind replaying the same sentence, "we're dead".
"Ah! Don't tell me he borrowed from you too!" Allen yelled.
"No! It's nothing like that!" Ayume yelled waving her hands in front of her.
"Nani? Than what did he do to you?" Lavi asked. Ayume's mind flashed back every little thing Cross did to her ran though her mind in a matter of seconds.
"I rather not talk about." Ayume said trying to drink some more of tea.
"Wait! Did he...?" Lavi asked, but Ayume understood what he meant.
"LAVI YOU SICK PERVERT!! IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT!!" Ayume yelled, her face as red as an apple. Allen, was thankful that he didn't get it.
"Then why are you blushing?" Lavi asked.
"OUT OF EMBRASSMENT THAT YOU EVEN SUGGESTED THAT!" Ayume yelled as she kicked Lavi right in the face.
"My god." Ayume said, she was still slightly blushing, looking down in the direction she kicked Lavi to. Allen was slightly blushing, as he sighed. Could she ever get used to Lavi? Allen thought.
XOXOXOX
Ayume looked up at the dark tower. What did Allen call this place? Ayume thought. Homey? Ayume looked at the dark, menacing tower again. Not what I have in mind. She thought. Allen brought her in front of the large black gate.
"KOMUI!! WE'RE BACK!!" Allen yelled. A black golem appeared in front of the three of them.
"Oh! And you brought a newbie with you!" The golem transmitted. Lavi wrapped his arm around Ayume.
"Yeah! Isn't she a cutie!" Lavi said. Natsu appeared from under Ayume's hat.
"WATCH IT BANDANA!! IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR ARM, YOU SHOULD MOVE IT!! Natsu yelled. Cutie? Ayume thought, her face looking perfectly innocent.
"Hm? Is that a golem? Weird looking thing.'' Komui said
"SAY THAT TO MY FACE!" Natsu yelled to Komui.
"Snappy little thing, isn't it?"
"Hai." Ayume said.
"AYUME!!" Natsu yelled.
"Right, then. Proceed with the X-ray exam!" Komui yelled. The gatekeeper, lunge forward near Ayume.
"Proceeding with X-ray exam!" The gatekeeper said, as the light appeared from it's eyes. Allen looked at Ayume, his face was confused. Is it just me or did Ayume's facial expression change, and her eye color? Allen thought.
"Test complete. Subject is human!" The gatekeeper said, the light was gone and Ayume expression was still the same a bit confused, eye color was the same. Maybe I was imagining things. Allen thought once he saw her usual face. The gates slowly opened.
"Oi! It's so big!" Ayume yelled once she was inside. She looked to the left and right, passing the rooms as Allen showed her the way to Komui's office. She desperately tried to show her nervousness by complementing the large tower. Here you are, Ayume. She thought to her self. You're in the lion's den now. She sighed at that last thought. Thinking of what might happen if...if... She shook her head violently, trying to forget those thoughts.
"Alright right, Skater-chan?" Lavi asked, she nodded her head, unable to speak.
She looked around, the messy clutter office. How could any one do any work in here was beyond her. A guy, having purple eyes and wearing a white beget, was lying down across the desk, asleep.
"Lenalee's getting married." Allen whisper in his ear. Instantly, he woke up with a bazooka.
"Good morning." Allen said nervously.
"It's the only way to wake him up." Lavi informed Ayume.
"Oh." Both Ayume and Natsu said nodding their heads.
"Oh! So this is the new exorcist. Lavi, I think you were right on the cutie part." Komui said looking intended at Ayume, who desperately want to hide behind Allen. Again? Ayume thought.
"Listen here buddy boy, if you even think about doing one impolite thing to Ayume, I'll breath some much fire, that THIS FLOOR WILL BE CLEAN BY THE TIME IT'S PUT OUT!!" Natsu threatened Komui.
"Ignore him, he's just a bit protective." Ayume said.
"Allen, Lavi do you mind bringing Ayume to the you know where? I'll be there shortly. Ayume looked confused. You know where? Ayume thought, not getting a good vibe.
"Sure." Allen said.
"This way Skater-chan." Lavi said, pointing the way down the hall.
Ayume didn't like it when she heard of it, she didn't like it when she saw it. She was just about ready to turn tail and leave when Allen and Lavi stopped her.
"Can't we just skip this part?" Ayume pleaded. "I don't like the vibe coming out of here."
"Sorry, no." Allen said, trying to give an encouraging smile, but failing as he remembered his own time here.
"It's kind of a tradition, so go luck Skater-chan!" Lavi said as he and Allen pushed Ayume though the door, closing it once she was inside.
"That was rude!" Ayume yelled to the other side of the door. She looked around the room, she defiantly didn't like it, and she probably won't like it more once Komui came.
"This place smells like torture." Ayume said looking around the large doctor like room, Natsu who flew off Ayume's head and off to one of the large wooden things coming out of the wall.
"Hey what's this." Natsu said pulling on the thing.
"Natsu don't mess with that! It's probably heavier than you!" Ayume said to Natsu, who apparently didn't listen. Natsu pulled out, this very large, very big, very sharp knife out from the wall.
"Natsu put that down before some one gets- AHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Ayume yelled.
Allen and Lavi who were on the other side of the wall, put their heads down.
"So, it's begun." Lavi said. Komui was coming up to the door.
"What's begun?" Komui asked. Lavi and Allen's heads both shot up to see the mad scientist, as he was rolling up his sleeves. Then they looked at each other positive that someone screamed. Quickly they stood up and open the door, there Ayume stood, holding her upper left arm that was bleeding, and Natsu trying to pick up a very large, and very sharp knife.
"DAMN IT, NATSU! I TOLD YOU SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET HURT! NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!" Ayume screamed.
"I-I-I-I-I-I didn't expect it to be so big. AH! Please forgive me of merciful one!" Natsu yelled as Ayume throw a vase (no I don't know where she got it) at him.
Komui ended up just taking a blood sample, that he put the needle inside the wound, making it hurt ten thousand times worse. Now it's sore, Ayume keeps looking at the part of her arm that was cut, glaring at Natsu, who was innocently smiling.
"Just so we're clear, you're a very bad doctor." Ayume said to Komui, who was smiling at the harm he's done. They were standing on a platform that floated in the air, as it was going down. Ayume looked at her hand, shaking. When does it feel as if my blood is rushing? Not noticing that it was getting darker. She looked up at Komui who smiling at her, she defiantly didn't like that smile, it was like he was hiding something. Did he put something in me? She thought, realizing that was the best idea.
"What the hell did- huh?" Ayume said, noticing that there was something grabbing her, and Komui was holding Natsu, who looked like he had no idea what was going on.
Ayume look up behind her, there was a big white thing (yes Hevlaska, I just suck sometimes at describing things), picking her up into the air. Ayume looked at her, a bit confused what she should do first.
"Innocence...Innocence..." Hevlaska said.
"So how does her Innocence look, Hevlaska?" Komui asked. Ayume looked at him, wondering what that meant. She bit down on her lip, every part of her body screamed to use her Innocence, and she's the kind of girl who listens to her gut. Innocence... Ayume thought before she gasped. She didn't notice it before as much but now she could tell that her whole body was shaking. She looked down, biting her lip again with a very angry face.
"DAMN IT, KOMUI!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?!" Ayume screamed.
"You notice it now, huh? Well I added an extra chemical to your blood, making it rush though your body, therefore making you unable to control your Innocence at this moment, but don't worry, you should be back to normal tomorrow." Komui explained. I swear to God, I'm going to get you for this. Ayume thought. She looked back at Hevlaska, still biting her bottom lip. She closed her eyes softly, trying to remember something.
"Hevlaska?" Said the small voice.
"Don't worry, Naomi, Hevlaska only tells how synchronize an exorcist and an Innocence is, she completely harmless." Said the large voice. Ayume breath in deeply. Her eyes slightly opened, completely harmless. She thought again. Hevlaska put Ayume's head, against her forehead.
"10...25...39...52...78...89." Hevlaska said.
"Your current maxim synchronization rate is 89." Hevlaska said, then she gasped slightly.
"What is it, Hevlaska?" Komui asked.
"Hogosha...Kanshisha...Kouken." Hevlaska said as she began to gently put Ayume down.
"You are going to be one of the people to end this war." Hevlaska continued. Ayume blinked at her twice, preventing herself from bursting out laughing.
"Oh! End the war? That's quite an goal." Komui said behind her, she turned quickly trying to kick him in the face, she majorly dented the clipboard in stead, she put her foot down, only to spin around and hit him with her heel of her other foot.
"That's what you get for messing with my Innocence!" Ayume said as Komui was sent to the other side of the platform.
"Got it. Never again." Komui said, voice a bit horse. He explained, the whole Grand generals, the jobs of Exorcist and Innocence, Ayume did her best pretending that she never heard about this before.
"Lavi!" Komui called to the red headed exorcist as he exit the cafeteria.
"huh?" Lavi said, looking at Komui and the half dragged Ayume.
"Lavi, Ayume's room will be across from your room, so show her where that is." Komui said pushing Ayume toward him.
"Yay! We'll be practically neighbors!" Lavi said as he started to drag Ayume to their rooms.
"Just so you know, I'm locking my door at night." Ayume said to Lavi, who was a bit down at that comment. Their rooms were at the end of the hall way, but very close to a staircase. It was close to ten when they got there.
"Here we are!" Lavi said as he reveal the two doors across each other. Ayume looked at them both, then she looked up to Lavi, blinking twice.
"Hey, your room in that one." Lavi said pointing to the one on the left.
"Oh." Ayume said nodding her head. Natsu who fell asleep, woke up at this moment, and peck out of her hat.
"Oi! Why are we here with the dumb Bandana?" Natsu said.
"Shut it, rodent." Lavi said.
"His room's across from us." Ayume explained.
"WHAT?! WHAT KIND OF CRUEL GOD WILL GIVE US BANDANA AS A NIEGHBOR?! THIS IS TERRIBLE!!" Natsu yelled, putting his hands on his head as he looked up at the ceiling..
"That's his way of saying that he's excited to have you as a neighbor." Ayume said.
"Well it's late so I'm heading off to bed. Goodnight Skater-chan." Lavi said as he entered his room.
"Night Lavi." Ayume replied as she opened the door to her new room. It was a pretty good size, the bed was in the cornor with a painting above it, a closet, a desk under the window and a chair. Ayume looked to her bed to see that her stuff was already there by Allen.
"Thank you, Allen-kun." She said beneath her breath, knowing he couldn't hear her. She leaned against the wall that was across the bed. She slide down it, landing on the floor in a sitting position, her right leg was on the floor completely knee bended so her right foot touched her left foot, while her left leg was up bended her foot on the floor (I'm having a really hard time to describe it right now). She looked down at the ground, rethink of what Hevlaska said, she smiled slightly in amusement.
"Me, end this war? I highly doubt it." Ayume said softly still looking down at the ground.
"I had to try and keep from bursting out laughing." Natsu said as he found a nice spot on a shelf Ayume didn't notice.
"Yeah." She said eyes slightly close, she scratch the back of her head, wondering if she made the right choice. She looked up at the painting, an angel fighting against a devil. She laughed at the picture a bit.
"Talk about irony." She said as she looked at the picture. "I'm a devil, stuck in a building full of angels."
Intersting is it not? Ayume beleives that she's in danger in the Black Order. And you can't help but wonder why she thinks of her self as a devil in a building of angels.
The msytrey begins! please review!
