Okay here's the second chapter I hope you enjoy it and sorry but I can say that fighting scenes aren't my forte, however I will do my very best to get better at this.


Flashing with brilliance. Like a sun within a black void. Innocence, an item once called the Crystals of God, it's a substance that's composition is unknown and was cultivated by an ancient civilization. They were consumed by a great flood when they used it to fight against the Earl and Akuma, and many years later humans discovered a cube and written on it was a warning. Then the Earl appeared once more and since then the Black Order has searched for Accommodators of innocence to purify the akuma and fight the Earl.

Now one of these objects was in the palm of Miria's hand. She didn't know why but it was glowing so brightly, and she felt drawn to it for some reason like it was calling her with a gentle voice. She was utterly mesmerized.

"Miss?" the girl whispered.

Miria took her eyes off the cube and looked to the little girl. Then her glance landed on Night who was peeking around the trees they were hiding behind, and when she peeked around them as well she spotted the akuma they had tried to run from not long ago. She inhaled a breath. Miria knew what she had in mind was a bad idea, she had nothing. She wasn't an exorcist nor a Finder or a Crow, she cant defend herself, she was a powerless human. However standing next to her was someone even more powerless then herself, a child who was frightened and confused.

So she looked to the child and smiled.

Miria bent down and looked the child in the eye, "my name is Miria, and what is yours?" she asked.

"Amy Gregory" she replied.

"Such a cute name, it's a name people will look up to someday" Miria told her keeping her eyes calm and her smile bright. "Listen Amy, me and Night will distract the monster, and when you see that its completely distracted with us, you run as fast as you can. Run home, and please don't say a word about this".

Amy looked shocked that Miria would say such a thing. "B-but Miria what about you?" she asked in a frightened voice.

Miria just chuckled lightly, "don't worry that monster wont stand a chance against me and Night, besides wont your parents be worried about you?"

"Yeah…but…" Amy looked sad. Even though she was a child, she was concerned for a complete strangers safety. This made Miria happy.

"Go back to them, don't give them a reason to shed tears" Miria's voice was gentle and warm which seem to comfort the girl a little. "Never change, because I can tell you are a great addition to this world, so please do what I am asking and run as fast as you can when the monster is distracted".

After a moment of thought, the girl sniffled and nodded. "Okay…"

"Thank you" Miria then got back on her feet and looked at the cube in her hand. And held it close to her heart. Innocence I will do my best so you can go to the Order and join your friends, I may be a weak human but I can at least do my best right?

Miria put the innocence back in the leather pouch.

She looked to Night. "Well Night you ready to play a good game of keep away?" He barked in response, signaling that he was indeed ready. So with a nod she ran out from her hiding spot and faced the akuma, "hey here's what you want!" she shouted. This caught its attention and immediately after it aimed its weapons straight at her and fired. Miria dodged and ran as she did this, "Night your turn!" she shouted. Night ran by and grabbed the pouch using his jaws. He ran in another direction from Miria, so now the akuma was chasing after him with its weapons drawn and firing.

As they crossed paths again she grabbed the pouch from him and ran in another direction. Even though they seemed emotionless, Miria had the feeling it was getting very irritated, now it was shooting off at them both regardless of who had the pouch at this moment. During all this running around from the corner of her eye Miria saw Amy run for it. She was glad that the girl was doing this, a child should never have to see blood shed or something so scary. Miria knew one couldn't always protect an innocent mind but she wanted to at least try to protect this one, no matter how meaningless it seemed.

Her attention came back to the situation at hand. The akuma was closing in on her and now it was shooting at the trees to make them topple over to block her way, this made her panic little. If her way was blocked then she would have no way of getting innocence to her father. However after a moment of thought she had an idea.

"Night!" she exclaimed.

She heard the dog bark loudly in response.

"Night! Take the innocence, my father should be back by now, he can get it safely to the Order. I will distract the akuma for as long as I can!" she shouted to him. The dog made a whimpering bark in response to her plan. "I know, but a lot of people are counting on the innocence, so I will gladly sacrifice myself and my father he will understand. However once you get to the house you will need to get him to run as well so that way you two will be far away by the time it finishes me off!" the dog didn't make any sound. "Night please do as I say!" she shouted her voice becoming a bit angry. Night responded with a bark. Which meant he would do it, she looked on ahead and saw a few trees topple over. Miria skidded to a halt and turned around.

Then with all her strength she threw the pouch and Night caught it and ran for it.

"Good" she muttered.

The akuma was about to turn and go after Night but Miria promptly grabbed a nice sized rock and threw it at the monsters back, "hey you better kill me first if you want that innocence, I mean why not? Another soul to add to your collection so you can become a level two right!" the akuma slowly turned to her and aimed its weapons at her. She smirked, "there we go". It fired but Miria managed to dodge the bullets, some she barely managed to avoid.

Miria ran past a few other fallen trees however the akuma aimed at the ground and fired causing the ground to crack and rocks to fly everywhere. The force of the shockwave sent her flying into a tree, knocking the air out of her lungs. She coughed and gasped for air. Suddenly everything threatened to go black on her but she shook her head and forced herself to get up. "No…I have to…distract it for Night…so my dad can-" just then she saw a looming shadow. Making her look up to see that it was the akuma.

She felt her blood run cold as it aimed at her.

Sweat pouring down her brow.

She was staring death in the face.

This is where she was going to die.

However even though she was afraid, she gulped down that fear and faced the akuma with defiance. "I wont die with a pathetic face" she said. Then the akuma fired.

To her shock, in the blink of an eye. Something terrible happened, instead of the bullet hitting her, the one who took it was Night. His yelp of pain seem to stab through the momentary silence then he fell to the ground. His body limp and lifeless. "NIGHT!"

She looked to her friend, his body slowly being taken over by the virus. "Why didn't you run? Why? Why did you sacrifice yourself for me?" tears started to flow down her cheeks and she choked on sobs. She didn't see the akuma aim at her head, she was in too deep of a shock. Night was her friend, she saved him when he was just a puppy and since then they have been inseparable, he taught her to enjoy herself and smile. Her heart never ached when he was around, because everyday was full of happiness.

Her eyes glanced to the small pouch and the innocence that tumbled out of the bag, "I'm sorry Night I tried to do something impossible and you received the punishment". It wasn't a safe thing to do most likely but she smiled sadly and touched his fur, "I don't know what it will be like but if your there then I wont be scared, that's how its always been right?" she whispered.

BANG!

The akuma released the bullet. However Miria felt like she was suddenly grabbed and pulled away, and when she landed a little ways from the akuma she looked to her rescuer. The one that saved her was Night.

"Night?" she whispered.

She looked at him closely and found that the virus had completely gone away, as if it had been purified. It was slow but it all sunk in. Miria looked to the pouch, she saw that it was still on the ground glowing brilliantly once more, then it suddenly started to float then it zipped towards her. She caught it and looked at the cube, she glanced to Night. "I don't think accommodators who are parasitic type have a reaction when its outside the body, so does that mean that this belongs to me?" she asked. Night made a woof sound in response as if he knew the answer. Miria looked to her friend in awe and then looked to the cube in her hand again. Meanwhile the akuma was approaching fast, making Miria snap out of it and look to Night.

"I don't know much, but Night your something called an anti-akuma beast. You have to activate the innocence inside of your body like you did when you purified the virus" she told him with urgency. "So Night activate!"

Nights body seemed to glow and changed into a new form. In this new form he stood seven feet tall with razor sharp claws and fangs, his eyes flashing a crimson red, he kind of looked like a black werewolf now.

Miria got up and looked at Night, "okay now what?" she questioned.

The akuma fired its weapons at them but Night quickly grabbed Miria and dodged the blood bullets. Then landed behind the akuma. Just then she knew what to do, "Night attack!" she commanded. Night obeyed and punched the akuma multiple times in the back then did one strong kick sending it flying into a tree. Miria smirked, "good now rip it to shreds!"

Night jumped into the air and came down on the akuma, his claws lengthened and became cloaked in some sort of blackness. He used his claws to impale the akuma and then rip it in two, then he jumped away just in time when the remains exploded. "Wow that was amazing" Miria remarked.

"I cant believe all this time you had an innocence inside your body", Night barked in response.

She sighed and looked at him, "can you deactivate?" she asked.

A light surrounded his body and he went back to his normal form. At that moment Miria went down on her knees and hugged him, "I'm so glad that you didn't die" she whispered. Night made a sound, probably his way of saying its alright.

Miria peered to where the akuma use to be and then looked to her friend, "lets go home, we have a lot to explain" she told him. Night barked making her smile a little. She got to her feet and with her friend by her side she walked away from the woodland that had not long ago been a battle ground of a cat and mouse game. From here on out she didn't know what lied ahead of her and her friend Night, because they would be used to fight off these monsters called Akuma and the scarier thought was that she would be fighting them for the rest of her life till death. A sad fate indeed, would it all be worth?

They say once the Earl and these akuma are gone, darkness would be gone as well. She knew that this wasn't true because darkness was a necessary component in this world, how else would we appreciate the ephemeral thing called light?

With this thought in mind, she wondered what will she do?
