Chapter 2- What both did

Author's note: Thank you for all the reviews, I appreciated them a lot and they are a great source of motivation for me. Common Tests are finally over so I can afford to use some of the time I normally use to read mangas/ watch animes to work on this story since I'm not going to start mugging till a while. Anyway, let's get on with the chapter before I end up filling the entire page with my life story XD

"Tell me akuma, what is your past?"

Towards the supervisor's question, the akuma made no evident attempt to answer it.

"What can you remember about yourself? Who were you? What had you done? Whom did you die for..." Komui said, trying to stall as much time as possible as the finders left the lab using the ark.

The akuma opened his mouth, he was going to answer the supervisor's question after all.

"That strange white hair kid that I defeated just now was crying when I met him. I believed his name was Allen Walker, the great destroyer of time." The akuma laughed as he said these. "According to Master earl, he could see the souls of all akumas, pitiful ability don't you think. I can say this as I can see the soul of the akuma even better than Walker since I am an akuma after all and while he could only see them using his left eye, I can see it completely. In fact, even without using an eye. It's disgusting. How can anyone want to look at it, let alone allow it to dwell inside your body..."

"Akuma, I was asking you about your past…" Komui interrupted.

"Silence, supervisor. Do not interrupt me." The level 4 suddenly broke out. "The boy should be seeing my kind for the first time otherwise there is no reason for him to get so emotional. The level 4… does not have a soul, you fool! What the boy saw was just an empty barrel of darkness. The level 4 have absolutely no memory of their time as a human. Did you think I was stupid enough not to see through your trick. You were trying to provoke my memory and stall for time, weren't you"

Komui did not reply the level 4. He had a shocked expression etched on his face; His analysis had been wrong and at the worst possible time. He was really the fool that the akuma had described him as, and even worst than that, a failure.

"Are you or are you not stalling for time, supervisor? Answer my question!" the level 4 remarked before letting out a huge blast of energy, destroying the barrier. This movement sent the broken shards of the barrier to be shot across the room , killing the remaining finders that has not yet escaped. The blood that splurged out from their bodies was in turn sprayed onto Komui and the level 4.

Komui finally woke up from his state of shock when he saw this but as he moved forward to check on the finders, the level 4 moved with his immense speed and his hideous hand was placed onto Komui's neck before the blink of an eye.

"What a wonderful man you are, supervisor. Sacrificing your life for mere humans like those, do you think they can actually survive? Let me tell you something then, something called reality. Everyone will die regardless whether it's cause by Master Earl, the Noahs or we the Akumas so as you will eventually. Nobody can escape. Nobody can survive. You are just wasting your time struggling like this, mentally- challenged supervisor. I have even been so nice as to not call you stupid"

Komui shivered from the level 4's grasp. It was cold and clammy to the touch and he knew very well that he couldn't rebel even if he wanted to, there isn't anything he could do just like the akuma had stated but…

Using his right hand, komui removed his beret, held it upon his heart and prayed for his sister's safety.

Lenalee Lee felt a sharp pain against her chest.

"Nii- san" she blurted out before she stopped moving and turned around. There was nothing behind her except for what used to be a large portion of the ceiling that now blocked the passageway. She couldn't turn back even if she wanted to, all that was left for her was to keep on moving forward. She wouldn't even be able to defend herself if she went to her brother now, she was too weak and too powerless.

Before catching up with Leverrier again, Lenalee placed her right fist upon her heart and prayed for her brother's safety. She is an exorcist and to fight is her destiny but for what reason shall she fight is the only thing that can never be predestined. To her, protecting her brother and her comrades' lives were all that mattered, now and forever.

Behind them, Lavi squatted down and examined the fresh trail of footprints made by blood, the only thing that his comrade left behind for him.

I'm done at last. I feel like sleeping so much right now (zzz…) but in any case I hope you had enjoyed this chapter. Thank you all the support. Please pardon some of my grammar mistakes and do remember to review.

Archite: Can I sleep now?

Kanda: Not before you explain why I don't get a part.

Archite: That's cause you are just slashing some stuff in some unknown place -.-

Kanda: Grrr, Mugen activate

Archite: For your information, it's still under repair.

Kanda: Nooooooo

Archite: Does that mean I can sleep now?
