Sorry for the wait I wanted to make sure I got the characters down and didn't go out of character, I probably did and I know a lot of people probably have in their fanfics but I want to at least do my best even if it was a fail. I am also still deciding on her innocence's form and abilities, if you guys have any suggestions then just mail me or put it in the review. Any how enjoy!
Friend. A curious and perplexing thing. At least to Miria who never really had any, Night has always been her friend. The one who slowly helped her become human and stop being a seemingly lifeless doll, honestly Miria didn't remember when it happened, when she let go of being human and became something that took command without question. Was being an exorcist the same thing? Obey without question and battle akuma? The clothes she will wear will have the Rose Cross upon them, and she must uphold the Popes dignity and her families dignity as well. However did she really want too?
They had eaten their food and now were walking around the building with Miria.
Allen. Link. Lenalee. Lavi. And Bookman.
They all seemed nice.
"So how old are you?" Lavi asked casually with a carefree grin.
"Nineteen, I only look older because I'm dressed like this, I wanted to give a good first impression but I think I over did it in terms of an outfit" she answered casually.
Lavi gave a thumbs up, "don't worry you look good" he commented giving a somewhat dorky grin.
Miria blinked, "uh…thanks".
He yelped suddenly when Bookman poked him with what looked like an acupuncture needle, "what was that for Old Panda?" he asked looking a bit irritated. "You're an idiot" Bookman grumbled.
Link sighed, "you should act your age" he remarked.
"Whatever two-dot" Lavi quipped, which only made Link angrier.
Lenalee and Allen chuckled. "So who will be training you?" Allen asked curiously.
"General Cloud, according to Supervisor Komui" she answered.
"That's great, General Cloud is really nice and strong. She's also really calm, and she loves taking care of Lau Shimin, he's the little monkey that sits on her shoulder" Lenalee explained.
Miria listened and nodded, she really couldn't wait till her weapon was finished, then she and Night could start training. As a child she already meditated and did yoga, and any other exercise that would keep her body fit. She also ate healthy and never consumed anything that was considered junk food, her father was just that strict and she really never had a problem with it. At least she didn't think so.
"This building is very roomy" she commented with a light smile.
"I miss the old building but this place is just as nice" Lenalee said.
Allen nodded, "it was really hard getting things from the old building to this one, although the unpacking was easy because we knew what was what".
"Did you have any troubles during packing?" Miria inquired.
All them made a face that indicated that something did indeed happened, "it was mostly because of the Science Department" Lavi mumbled. "The worst thing was Komui's Komuvitan-D" Allen sighed, "we all turned into zombies until Bak saved us".
Miria raised an eyebrow, "oh…."
She couldn't really imagine this.
"So what happened to the D thing afterwards?"
Allen shook his head, "I think Komui wants to improve it so it will actually do what its supposed too, which I guess was to give the science team energy because they pull a lot of all-nighters".
"Lets hope it doesn't turn you all into werewolves next time" Miria stated as she walked on. All she heard were a couple of 'yeahs' and some nervous laughter like the chances of something that wild happening were not unlikely. Komui looked sort of normal when she met him, then again you cant judge a book by its cover.
"Anyway what did you do before you came here?" Lenalee asked.
Miria thought it all over and spoke. "Nothing much just doing school work, I was actually home schooled and my dad got a very good tutor to teach me all the material and some extra stuff like foreign language. I didn't have any brothers, so my dad put a lot of money into making sure I was well educated and healthy even if it sounded unnecessary, and when I wasn't doing that I hung out at the woods or gardens with my dog Night" she explained. "In fact that's how it was found out I was an accommodator, this little girl Amy was being chased by a level one after she mistaken innocence for a pretty rock".
Lavi seemed pretty impressed, "so is your family rich?"
She shrugged, "I guess so my family has had high standing since this place came to being".
"So your dad knew you were an exorcist and coming here?" Allen inquired.
"Yeah, I guess I over dressed also because my Uncle was here, he's gone on other business for the time being, he might be back soon but I don't know" she said with another shrug.
She got curious gazes from them all until she understood. Sometimes saying your whole name got tedious, her whole name was Miria Cecilia Lvellie, yes same initials as her Uncle. Even she thanked god that they didn't share looks or personality. She liked him but even she could say he liked to intimidate people, something she thought wasn't at all good although perhaps she was being naïve by thinking being friendly with people was the only way to get respect? She didn't know.
"My family name is Lvellie, when I say Uncle I mean Mr. Malcolm Lvellie, I don't really know if I am is niece but we're definitely related" she told them.
Shock. That was the word of their expressions, they wouldn't have been able to guess that the two were related.
"I didn't think any girl from his family would be cute!" Lavi remarked.
Miria glared, "that's rude" she rubbed the back of her neck and sighed, "I get what you mean though I guess".
"I never would have guessed" Allen admitted.
Bookman seemed to agree as well, "wouldn't have guessed either".
"I've never heard much about the Inspector's family so I didn't expect to meet someone of his family either, let alone hear that one of them has become an exorcist" Link said.
"Yeah" Lenalee said with a tilt of her head.
Miria nodded, "no worries I'm not like him, I only met Uncle now and then because he had other things to do so I only know surface facts like you guys. Please treat me like a normal exorcist".
"We would have regardless if you asked or not" Lenalee gave a friendly smile and so did Allen and Lavi. "Yeah we hardly treat this guy seriously" Lavi said as he pointed at Link.
Miria blinked and smiled lightly, "thanks".
It may sound strange but sometimes being treated like your nothing too special was relaxing, when you are treated like you are special you had to work hard to live up to those expectations. Making day to day routines almost tiresome, and lonely. So Miria appreciated the fact that she could meet some people that wouldn't treat her differently.
"Oh and this is the medical wing" Lenalee said as she pointed out some rooms, just then a nurse and a doctor came out and accompanying them was none other then Night. He wagged his tail happily at the attention as they smiled and pet him, "he's such a pretty dog I wonder where he came from?" the nurse said. Miria sighed, "Night!" his ears perked up and he ran over to her happily. "He's yours?" the nurse asked.
Miria nodded, "yes his name is Night he's an anti-akuma beast" she told them.
"Wow I hope things go well during training with him" the doctor said as he pet him again.
"I hope so too and sorry if he took time out of your work" she said with a light bow.
"Its alright" the both of them then left to tend to other things.
Miria looked down to Night and sighed, "I told you to meet up with me when you were done putting our stuff in our room". Night made a grumble sound, "you found something interesting? What is it?" she asked.
Lenalee casted her a curious glance, "you can understand him?"
"Yeah I guess, its not like a speak dog I just kind of know what's on his mind from the sounds he makes, his posture, and expressions" Miria answered.
"That's cool!" Lavi commented.
Allen agreed with a smile, "yeah its kind like me and Tim, oh here he is right now" a golden golem flew over to Allen only to be intercepted by Night who jumped in the air and grabbed him. "Oh so that's the interesting thing you found" Miria stated as Night seemed to enjoy playing with his new found toy. "Unfortunately for you this isn't a toy it's a golem and it belongs to Allen, now give it back please" Miria told Night firmly. Night's tail drooped in disappointment and reluctantly walked over to Allen and gave Tim to him. However that didn't stop him from looking at Allen with expectant eyes that were begging him to throw it, making Allen feel a bit taken aback as he stared at the dog back.
"He's a cool looking dog, you must take very good care of him" Lavi commented.
"Yeah, since I really didn't much else to do my favorite hobby was taking care of him" she said lightly with a smile.
Lavi walked over to Night to pet him but this earned him a growl, he drew his hand back in surprise making Miria chuckle "I guess he doesn't like you very much". Lavi seemed a bit hurt by this, "why not?"
She shrugged, "dogs are a good judge of character?"
Lavi seemed a bit put out by this, however the others seemed amused. Since Allen drew his attention away, Night took this chance to grab Tim by his tail and take him then started to play with him again. "Cats like to try and eat him, I wonder if a dog would do the same?" Allen wondered as he watched the golem being played with.
"He wouldn't eat him he just wants to play, he'll follow all my commands but if the situation isn't serious he likes to act like a puppy" Miria said as she watched him. Then she snatched Timcanpy away from Night and gave him back to Allen. "By the way who are the other exorcists around here other then you guys?" she asked.
"Well there's Miranda, Marie, Choaji…" Lavi then picked up where Lenalee left off, "then there's Krory and Yuu their both fun" he said with a chuckle and a grin.
"Then there are the Generals of course" Link interjected.
Miria nodded at the answer, "um…is this one tall guy with white and black hair one of them?"
"That's Krory, he's hard to miss because he looks like a vampire" Lavi told her.
"He definitely is, anyway what else is there in this place?" Miria was actually enjoying herself getting to know them, even though she had no real experience making friends. Night seemed happy as well as he walked along next to her as the tour moved on. Now they were showing her where some of these stairs and halls led so she didn't wander around and get lost.
It felt like her heart was unsteady, perhaps because she was nervous about her training and missions? She felt confident that she could get the job done with experience she would soon gain just like she managed to command Night to activate his innocence and destroy the akuma with just luck alone. And even though she was most likely now bound to something else she was happy that it would at least allow her to spread her wings, and it looked like she would be around good and fun people. So she couldn't wait to have her first chance on the battle field. Sure it was scary but she would combat it with courage.
She glanced over to Night.
He seemed to know her thoughts as he made a light woof sound and a wag of his tail, comforting any feelings of being nervous. Night, her first friend would always be by her side.
Yes I will do my very best and succeed over and over again. She thought.
With another glance to Night she smiled happily.
The path I shall walk now. It all starts here.
