On a Train in Asia

"Where did you say the last place you saw Cross was again?" Alice asked kinda sleepily.

"We were in Asia when he left me a few months ago. I thought this was a good place to look." Allen said. He looked out the window at the trees that flew by. The train stopped at a forest station. The engineer said that another train heading further into the forest would be there in 2 hours. Just Great. First we have to find Master and now we have to wait for the damn train. Allen fell asleep on the bench. Alice was hungry and bored out of her mind. I wonder if there is some food at this station? Alice got up and went up to a window with a middle aged man inside. She knocked on the window.

"Ummm... Sir. Is there anywhere to eat around here?" Alice asked

"No" He said shortly.

"Of you can't feed people you could at least me polite. Bastard." Alice said as she walked away. She sighed. She looked around and saw a small rabbit hopping across the tracks. Alice licked her lips. She was desperate. They haven't eaten since they got into Asia. She went after the rabbit and left her sleeping brother at the train station.

A pale man with dark wavy hair and thick glasses walked up to the platform. The first thing he saw was the sleeping Allen. He smirked and picked up the boy and threw him over his shoulder. The Earl will be proud. The man turned into his Noah form. His skin darkened and crosses appeared on his forehead. HE walked into the forest with Allen. When they were far enough into the dense woods, the boy stirred.

"Where am I?" Allen looked around and saw he was being carried. He looked over his shoulder and saw he was being carried by Tyki Mikk. He activated his Innocence and got out of Tyki's grip.

"I thought you would never wake up. It would have been so boring to kill a sleeping Exorcist." Tyki said smirking. Allen charged at Tyki, his Innocence ready to strike.

Meanwhile with Alice

"Damn it. Where did that rabbit go?" Alice was looking for something to eat, as usual. She walked up to a bush and looked behind it. She heard a rustling in the bushes behind her. She turned around and saw the rabbit from before. "I'm sorry, Mr. Rabbit. I'm hungry and you're edible." She activated her Innocence and lunged for the rabbit. The rabbit jumped out of the way and Alice landed on her stomach. "Clever aren't we?" She lunged for it again and missed again. The rabbit jumped away. "Shit." She mumbled to herself from the ground. She got up and brushed herself off. She froze when she heard a scream. She snapped out of her shock and ran towards it. She was met with a sigh worse than she ever imagined.

Tyki Mikk had his hand sticking out of Allen's chest. "Allen!" She yelled as he fell to the ground. Tyki looked up at her.

"Huh. So you are his sister. Guess I'll have to kill you too." Tyki said adjusting his bloody glove. Alice activated her Innocence. She jumped out at him only to be knocked to the ground. She tried to get up put Tyki's foot was on her stomach. Alice looked over at Allen, who was still motionless.

"Allen. I can't lose you again." She said. She turned her hand into the hammer and tried to hit Tyki. He dodged her swing and landed on the other side of the clearing. Alice rushed over to Allen. She saw his left arm was gone and all that was left was a gray stump. He had a bloody hole in his chest and his eyes were open with shock. Alice closed his eyes gently and thought about the Noah that was now walking towards her. "Stay back." Alice sneered. Tyki just kept going. "I said stay back." she said again.

"What are you going to do?" Tyki taunted. Alice snapped. Alice's struggle to control the yami inside broke. Tyki was pushed back by an invisible force. He was pinned to a tree. Alice's hair was floating up on the ends. Slowly, her hair turned black and her eyes turn red. She slowly got up off the bloody ground and looked at Tyki. The look in her eyes was a look of provoked insanity.

"You know what I can do." she finally spoke. She slowly waked over to Tyki. "What do you think is holding you to that tree?" she got close to his face "I am." she whispered into his ear. A shiver went down Tyki's spine. What is this feeling? Is it... Fear? She backed away. She pointed to another tree on the other side of the clearing. Tyki flew across and hit the tree with a thud.

"How do you do that?" Tyki asked. Alice waled over to him. She put her hand on his throat.

"I can control a person's blood. It's a fun skill to have." Alice then cuts the tips of her fingers with her teeth. "I can control mine too. See." She held up her bleeding fingers and formed them into claws. "Let's see if they work." Alice steps back and slices her hand across Tyki's chest. Tyki cried out in pain. She left her claws in his chest a minute. The blood on her claws flowed into him.

"What's are you doing?" Tyki asked. Alice smirked.

"I'm putting some of my blood into you." she smirked even wider. She looked more and more like a psychopath every second. "If you try to hurt anybody and I catch you, your heart will explode along with your brain. You won't be able to come back to life. You'll be dead." Alice looked him in the eye. She swept her finger along her neck for emphasis. "I can prove I can do damage to you that way." She held up his wrist. The blood oozed out of a newly formed line on it. The blood inside spiked out and his hand fell off. Tyki was terrified now.

"I hate you Noah. You thing you guys are superior being just because you can't die. You're wrong. It's that ignorance that will be the death of you. Now leave before I change my mind on letting you live another day." Tyki tried to grab his severed hand. Alice got it first. "No. This is my prize. Now leave." Tyki stayed where he was shocked. Alice turned to shoot him a glare that can rival Kanda's "I said leave. NOW!" She yelled. Tyki scurried off. His arm left a trail of blood.

"What is going on here?" A voice yelled from inside the woods. Alice's eyes shot up and her hair turned white again. Her eyes turned their normal light grey color. She passed out. A girl with light orange hair in a purple hat ran into the clearing and saw the scene. "I need to get them to safety." She said. She got the boy and girl on her back and walked the way to the Asian Branch of the Black Order.

Asian Branch

"Oh, my head." Alice said waking up from another nightmare. She looked around the room and didn't recognize it. "Where am I?" She asks. She looked down and saw her right hand was wrapped in bandadges. She looked to her right and saw a motionless Allen. "Allen?" She asks looking at him. She sees the IV in his right arm. He looks really bad. His left arm is missing and his other is wrapped in bandadges. She could see more bandadges wrapped around his chest.

"Alice. You're awake. Don't worry, Allen's just fine." an unfamiliar voice says. Alice looks up and see a blonde man standing above her. He was looking right at her.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?"

"I'm Bak Chang. Head of the Asian Branch."

"Nice to meet you. Do you know what happened?"

"No. We were hoping you would tell us." It all came back to her. It was like she was watching what happened from behind a piece of glass. She didn't do those things to Tyki. The yami did.

"I can't believe that happened. How is Allen alive? He was dead when I got there."

"His Innocence saved him."

"How?"

"It sealed the hole in his heart."

"At least he is alive." Alice said with a sigh. She looked up at Bak. "What happens now? That Noah is still out there."

"First you guys heal. Then Allen's re-synchronizes with his Innocence. Then, if Allen succeeds, you go back to being Exorcists. Simple plan really."

"Re-synchronize?"

"Yeah his Innocence wasn't destroyed, it was broken into little particles, like a mist."

"Oh." Alice gets up from the bed and walks over to the door.

"Where are you going?" Bak asks.

"Is there a room I can train in or something?"

"Yeah. I'll show you. I can get Fou to spare with you if you want after Allen wakes up."

"Who's Fou?"

"She's the Asian Branch's guardian."

"Oh. So she can fight? That is going to be fun."

"Let's change your bandadges first." Alice smiled.

Next Morning

Allen's eyes slowly opened until he realized where he was his eyes shot open. He shot up in bed only to have a sharp pain in his chest. He looked over to his side and saw a young girl with strange green markings on her forehead and wore what looked like a two piece bathing suit. He got out of bed and just wandered, more like limped, around the unfamiliar facility.

Alice was just waking up from her adventures in the library. She had been reading what ever she could find about Innocence, yami's, and the Noah. She needed to know what was the correlation between the three. She knew that the Noah fought for the Earl and the Earl wanted to destroy Innocence, but where did the yami's fit in. What exactly was a yami? She had a theory that the yami could either be the beginnings of an awakened Noah. That theory had issues though. What about the yami in Yugi Muto. He seemed like a good person. She left the library with more questions than answers.

Alice went back into the infirmary her and Allen were sleeping at. She came back to find Allen gone. Fou was still asleep at the side of his bed. Alice waled up to Fou and shook her gently. When she didn't even stir she shook rougher.

"Fou wake up. Come on. Wake up." Alice was getting frustrated now. She got close to the sleeping girls ear and screamed, "Wake up ya lazy ass!" Fou woke up but glared at Alice and turned her hands into the blades. Alice activated her Innocence and defended herself from Fou's attempted manslaughter.

"What the hell, Alice? I was sleeping!" Fou yelled making another move to attack Alice. Alice blocked it and retorted the statement with one of her own.

"If you haven't noticed, lazy ass, Allen is gone!" She yelled. For looked over at the empty bed and stared in shock.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier, snow fairy?"

"Snow fairy? That's the best you can come up with, lazy ass. I've been trying to wake you up for at least 20 minutes!" They glared at each other when Bak walked in.

"Where is Walker?" He asked. The two girls moved their glares to him and he visibly shuddered.

"Lazy ass, here let him escape."

"Who are you calling lazy ass? What have you been doing all this time anyway? Hum?"

"I've been doing something useful unlike you who was asleep!" They glared at each other some more when Bak decided to speak up.

"Stop fighting and find Walker!" The girls glared at him. He ran off before the girls could commit murder and he be the one dead.

"You heard him snow fairy."

"Stop calling me that!" Alice yelled before running off. She called out Allen's name and didn't find him. She look all over the giant facility. She ended up finding him and Bak in the guardian's chamber. They were talking but she couldn't make it out. "Allen." Both turned to look at her, "Don't do that ever again. You're still injured. Don't be an idiot and get yourself killed again." She said bluntly. Allen looked like a kicked puppy. That was the only way to describe how he looked. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "But." Alice finally spoke and she smiled. "I'm just glad you are alive." She said.

"I'm sorry. I was reckless. I should have been more careful." Allen finally spoke.

"Don't apologize for getting injured." She held up her still bandaged hand, "It happens to everybody." She said with a small giggle. He smiled too.

"Alice," Allen said quietly, "What happened when I was asleep?" He asked her. The memories flooded back to her. Should she tell him what happened wit the yami? It will happen eventually. Now's not the time he should know.

"Nothing major." She lied. Allen gave her a questioning look. He knew she was lying. He brushed it off. He'll find out eventually. "You need to focus on re-synchronizing with your Innocence." Alice said. Allen gave her a look of shock. "You didn't tell him, Bak." Bak slowly backed away at the look she gave him. It could only be described as the look of the devil.

"I was getting to that until you walked in, so technically it's your fault he doesn't know." Bak challenged.

"You're the supervisor here. It's your job to tell people these things." Alice retorted. Alice saw a flash of purple and pink and realized Fou kicked Bak in the back of the head.

"Bak you idiot!" Alice and Allen stared in shock as Bak fell, face-first, into the floor. Fou turned to look at Allen. "You." She pointed at Allen, he gulped, "How about a thank you, ya ass. I carried both of you on my back. Alice said thanks. Now it's your turn."

"Umm, Thank you." Allen said. Fou smiled. Bak got up off the floor.

"If you're mad at him then why did you kick me." He yelled

"I wanted too." Fou said simply.

"That's not a good reason!" He yelled. This is going to be interesting, Allen and Alice both thought.
