On the train, Lavi yawned and jerked himself awake. After Komui had told him the info, he'd been rushed down to the train station, a heap of clothes thrown in a backpack with his food. He'd just finished changing, and his stop was coming up soon.
He sighed and got out the note.
"Lavi must come to so-and-so tomorrow, or I kill everyone I have kidnapped. He must be alone."
'Sheesh, who is this chick anyway? I knew I was popular with the girls but a Noah….'
Somewhere in the room, someone sneezed. Lavi stood up and looked around. There was the edge of black material poking out from under the seat. He bent down and pulled at it, and out slid a guilty looking Allen.
'Uh…Hi.'
'Allen?! What are you doing here? I'm supposed to go alone!'
'if you go alone you'll end up dead' the white haired boy said, standing up 'and besides, while you go to what's- her -face I can look for the others, then once there safe we can defeat her!'
Lavi was about to retaliate, then sighed and shrugged.
'Fine, I guess I can't really toss you off the train either….but admit it, half the reason your coming is she has Lenalee, and you wanna look like a hero in front of her.'
Allen looked annoyed and blushed. He got an evil glint in his eye and giggled evilly.
'What and you're not coming cos she has Keichi too?'
It was the bookman's turn to blush.
'AND AN ENTIRE TOWN! I TOLD YOU, I DON'T LIKE HER! NOT IN THAT WAY!'
'Not what I asked.'
Lavi stared in surprise. Allen smiled brightly and sat down. His stomach growled.
'So, are they going to serve breakfast soon?'

When the train arrived at their stop, the two teenagers walked a little way out of town through the snow before checking the map. Allen shivered, rubbing his forearms.
'Its cold, should there really be this much snow at this time of year?'
'That's why the girls were sent here', Lavi explained, folding the map and pocketing it 'Cos they thought there would be innocence. Ok, Allen, there's a group of caves in those mountains over there, start looking there first then head south. I have to go this way.'
Allen nodded, and smiled.
'Ok, see ya.'

Lavi jumped down the rest of the cliff and dusted himself off. He looked around. There was an unusual amount of snow on the ground for the season, with trees lining the valley. He checked the note and confirmed this was the place, though he was somewhat early. He yawned and walked around the place. There were high cliff walls all around, in a complete circle. He was probably going to have to use extend to get out again.
Suddenly, he stopped. There was a corner of black material poking out of the snow. He ran forward, got on his knees and brushed the snow away. It was a person. He dragged the person out and turned them over. It was Keichi.
'Keichi!' he cried, shaking he slightly 'Wake up!'
No response. Lavi looked around quickly, spotted a cave opening, and picked the girl up in his arms to get her out of the cold.
The cave was small, but it was warmer, so he set her down. He crouched down and felt her hands. They felt like ice, and the fact her clothes were wet wasn't helping.
--
Keichi became aware of the fact she was warm. Very strange, seeing as before all she'd felt was cold. After lying there, enjoying the feeling for a minute, she opened her eyes. Lavi's face was very close to hers, his hand on her forehead.
'KYAAAAA!' She cried angrily, slapping him away and sitting up 'Get off, you pervert!'
Lavi blinked in surprise, feeling hurt.
'I was just checking if you had a fever, you silly girl. You were buried unconscious in the snow for about 12 hours; I'm surprised you're alright.'
There was a pause, and then he smiled.
'I'm glad you are, anyway.'
He then got up to stoke the fire, which he'd set up while she'd been asleep. Above was Lavi's hammer, which was extended across the cave so it was about half a meter above the fire. Along the handle hung Keichi's wet clothes. Confused, the girl moved the blanket she was under. She was wearing a large old shirt.
'WHAT?! YOU CHANGED ME?!'
Lavi sweat dropped.
'Well you were wet, and freezing cold, so I put you into one of my shirts. Don't worry, I closed my eyes. Seriously, Keichi, do you really believe I'm capable of….You know?'
Without waiting for an answer, the boy reached into his back pack to look for something. Keichi stared at the ground. She didn't believe he'd try to do something; she was just trying to stay mad at him. Though really, when she'd opened her eyes, she'd wanted to throw her arms around him and kiss him. But of course, if she'd done that….
'Here,' Lavi had returned with a smile on his face, holding a packet of biscuits 'You must be hungry, eh?'
The girl nodded and took the packet, blushing and pouting.
'Ari….arigato.'
Lavi grinned at how cute she looked and sat next to her.
'So how'd you escape from the Noah?'
'Noah?! There was no Noah, I was just walking along up there and fell.'
'Was Lenalee with you?'
'Uh, no, I lost her a minute before I fell, there was a sudden blizzard. So why are you here?'
Lavi handed her the note. Keichi read quickly, her eyebrows rising.
'What the… what does she want with you?'
'Dunno, but I assume she has a crush on me.'
Keichi blinked in surprise, then laughed and punched his shoulder playfully. Lavi smiled in relief, taking this as a sign she wasn't mad anymore and laughed too.
Outside, a twig cracked, and there was a crunching-snow sound. Lavi jumped up. Keichi looked up in alarm.
'Lavi-'
'Stay here.' The redhead said, running outside.
The second he got out there, he shivered and wished his coat wasn't suspended above the fire. It was starting to snow again.
'Hello Lavi'.
Lavi turned. Amilie the waitress was standing there in a tight pink dress.
'You! What are you…?'
Suddenly, Amilie's hair turned purple, her skin turned gray and her eyes turned yellow. Lavi gasped and pointed.
'WAIT, YOU'RE THE NOAH?!'
'Yes and your going to come with me.'
'What? Why? Aren't you going to try and kill me?'
The pretty Noah laughed and started walking closer. Lavi knew he should get his hammer out, but for some reason his arm wouldn't move. In fact, he couldn't move at all.
