Lady Hawke
By BelletigerBT

Chapter 3- the bird's fall and the cry of wolf part 1

Tyki was in his white form when he came to the mines. His friends, Cole, John and Eaze saw him with Lady Hawke on his shoulder. His friends were surprise to see them so early.

"Tyki? Is that you?" The one called Cole called in surprise

"Yeah, we're done with our work early." Tyki said smiling. "And we're back now."

Lady Hawke flew off from Tyki shoulder and landed on Eaze's right arm. The boy was happy that they were back this soon. Tyki patted Eaze's head as he asks him to take care of the hawk while they work. The boy, more than happy to do so, nodded to Tyki. He always loved the bird's company. Unknown to them, a cat was spying on them in the far distance. It hissed before walking off.

Somewhere else, a red haired man, around of his 30 years, was in a café shop, drinking some coffee. He liked this shop. Besides the fact that it had the best coffee in Europe, the shop also had some of the most beautiful waitress'. Then, he felt a presence behind him.

"You're a hard man to find, General Cross."

The red haired man turned around and saw Komui standing there.

"What do I owe your visit, supervisor Komui?" Cross said

"Well, what if I told you that we might have found your missing apprentice?"

LuluBell was in a room in the arc, while Mimi- her personal akuma assistant was doing her nails. Mimi could feel her mistress was somehow upset.

"What's up, Lulubell-sama?" Mimi asked to her mistress. Lulubell just sighted in frustration.

"I wonder….. why he choose her? A mere human with innocence…." she whispered.

Mimi blinked confused when she released she was talking about that man; Tyki Mikk. The Third child of the Noah family and the one who fall in love with a human girl who had innocence; in other words, falling in love for the enemy. Mimi remembered the frustration the awakened Noah had felt when they learned that Tyki had married this girl in secret. Besides of Earl, Lulubell was the other one who was angered the most with this. It was no secret Lulubell had some feelings for the 3rd child.

"I will go to my bed chambers. Do not disturb me"

"Yes, Lulubell-sama." Mimi said as she bowed to her. Her mistress got up and went to her bed-chambers.

Mimi hated to see her mistress upset like that; she deeply blamed that girl who stole Lord Tyki from Lulubell. She wanted to do something to make her mistress happy. Though Millennium Earl had already punished the lovers, the patriarch himself ordered that no one of the family touch Tyki's bird. Then, an evil smirk showed on her lips.

"Earl-sama orders said no one from Noah family could touch that dammed bird, but he never mentioned akuma couldn't either." She giggled evilly.

In the woods, near of the town, the 3 exorcists were still looking for the bird that was supposed to have innocence since dawn. The problem? Not one of them know where the bird was, the only clue they had was it was a hawk that could transform one of its wings into an anti-akuma weapon. But their search was still hard.

"I caught a bird!" yelled Lavi happily for finally catching a bird. Kanda looked annoyed while Lenalee sweetdrop.

"Lavi….. that's an owl , not a hawk." Lenalee said.

Lavi blinked in confused as he looked the bird he had caught. In was indeed a small owl and it looked annoyed at Lavi. The owl pecked Lavi's nose before flying off. Lavi nursed his sore nose as he was already getting annoyed by this mission.

"Arght! Of all the things, why did this innocence have to be in a bird? We've been looking for it for hours!" shouted Lavi frustrated " I would rather look for that cute girl than a stupid bird! Even if that means facing that monstrous pet wolf she has!"

Kanda smacked Lavi's head to cool the red haired off. But he admits the search for a special bird is also annoying him. Like Lavi, he preferred to look for that girl too, since it's easier looking for a human girl than looking for a stupid bird. Lenalee tried to calm her male comrades down.

"Guys, I know this mission is frustrating, but we still have to look for that hawk." Lenalee said to them. "Even if it means checking every hawk here in the woods."

Then, they heard a screening of a bird; a hawk to be exact. They looked up and saw the beautiful bird having a rabbit in its talons. Then, the 3 exocists were quiet for a moment before looking at Lavi.

"You want me to use my Ōzuchi Kozuchi to get the bird, don't you?"

That wasn't a request. Lavi really was staring to hate birds, especially the birds of prey.

Lady Hawke was taking her prey back to the mine area. She was sure the rabbit will make Eaze happy and would make a delicious meal. After all, Tyki likes the meals he does for him and for the other two adults. Then, Lady Hawke felts something following her. When she turned her head around, her peak dropped and her eyes widen in surprise. Lavi was using his Ōzuchi Kozuchi to follow her.

"Come here birdie birdie birdie birdie."

Lady Hawke sweetdropped. Like hell she would come to an eye-patched weirdo! She belongs to Tyki and no one else! To her surprise, Lenalee was in the front of her.

"Caught ya!" Lenalne smirked. But her smirk soon was gone when the bird let go of her prey and deviated from her, using full speed. Lenalee sweetdroped. She didn't expect that.

"I guess the bird fooled you." Lavi smirked

"Be quiet, Lavi! We have to catch that bird!"

Tyki blinked as he turned around. He had a strange feeling. It was the same feeling when those hunters were trying to capture his precious bird.

"What's up, Tyki?" his college, Cole asked.

"I am just having an odd feeling." Muttered Tyki. Then, the little boy, Eaze come to them, he looked worried for some reason.

"Tyki… I am worried about Lady Hawke. She still hasn't return from her daily hunt yet." Eaze said sadly. Tyki only patted the boy's head.

"Don't worry." Tyki said. "Lady Hawke is a very stubborn bird; she can take care of herself. But I will look for her anyway."

With that, Tyki leaves to the woods, to look for his precious hawk.

Lady Hawke was annoyed. And the worse part she couldn't active her innocence in her left wing to get more speed because that was the main reason they came to Lucian town in the first place; to look for a special hawk that had Innocence; which was herself. Then, she blinked. Wasn't there 3 people?

"Mugen! Kaichū: Ichigen !" Kanda shouted.

Kanda, who was following them on the ground, swings his sword and releases a small swarm of supernatural insects at the bird. Lady hawk screamed as she flew quickly to avoid being hit by those supernatural insects. Had none of them ever heard about animal abuse? But her guard was down, giving to Lenalee the opportunity to catch her.

"Finally, I caught you!"

Lady Hawke thrashed as she tried to get out from the girl's grip. Lenalee had to wrap the hawk's body with her jacked because of her talons, but she still needed be careful of the hawk's powerful peak. Lavi celebrated Lenalee's capture as both him and her landed next to Kanda.

"Yeah! Finally we caught the bird!" celebrated Lavi.

"And this one is the one we're look for." Lenlee said, smiling. "Look at its left wing."

Though the bird thrashed in Lenalee's hands, Kanda and Lavi could see a very weird cross on its left wing. The cross was glowing. Which means it was innocence! Indeed it was the bird they were looking for. Kanda also noticed something else on the bird; it had silver eyes, just like that one with the miners. Could be the same bird? Then, the exorcists blinked in surprise when the bird's left eye become red with sort of cogwheel monocle. Suddenly a missile come out of nowhere. The 3 exorcists jumped away as they noticed they were surrounded by Akuma.

"W-What is it?" Lenalee asked horrified.

Lenalee, Kanda and Lavi had horrified looks on their faces; they were not only surrounded by Akuma, but also they could see the unfortunate souls trapped within them. Lady Hawke was now scared. She knew she can't handle all those Akuma by herself in her hawk form. Her innocence was too limited in her hawk form.

"Look what we have here." One of the akuma said.

"Looks like we have some extra work here" the other one said. "Hand us the bird if you want a less painful dead, exorcists!"

"Like hell we will hand it over after all the work we did to capture it!" Lavi shouted at the akuma.

Kanda drew out his sword and he glared at the Akuma. Lenalee handed the bird to Lavi.

"Lavi, get out of here with the bird. We will handle this."

"But, Lenalee….'

"Go now! The bird is important!" Lenalee exclaimed! "You're the only one of us who can truly fly!"

Lavi heisted for a moment but he nodded before activating his innocence and running off with the bird as Lenalee and Kanda started to fight against the akuma.

Behind the trees, Mimi scoffed. She didn't expect there would be exorcists in the area. Now getting the bird for Lulubell-sama was going to be hard! Then, the akuma girl heard a dark chuckle from behind her. It was another akuma, roughly 8 to 9 feet tall, with sharp jagged teeth, and wearing what looks like medieval armor that covers most of his body.

"Don't worry, the bird will not escape." the Akuma said. "Besides, it will be much funnier for my hunting game."

"I don't expect less from the hunter." Mimi said, smiling evilly to the L3 akuma.

Lavi gritted his teeth as he noticed some akuma were after him. Having no choice, he had to land to fight. Lavi spun his hammer and smashed it against the akuma. He was lucky they were only level 1 akuma.

"Don't worry birdie, I will protect you, even if I don't like you." Lavi said to the bird in his arm. Then, he felt a dark presence that gave him chills up his spine. When he turned around, he saw Tyki in his Noah form. And he didn't look very happy. Lavi recognized the ash skin and the stigmata marks.

"NOAH!" Lavi thought in panic. He can handle the akuma but he knew he can't handle a noah member by himself.

"I would like you to return my bird if you don't want to die." Tyki said calmly but in deep voice, he was very pissed.

Lavi gritted his teeth. He didn't like this situation. He could handle akuma, but he can't handle a Noah by himself. Lavi drew the bird closer to his body, his arms shielding her from the enemy. Lady Hawke was still thrashing, trying to get out from Lavi's grip. She didn't want Tyki to kill another person because of her.

With quick moves, Tyki starts to attack Lavi with his dark matter. Lavi was being careful to not get hit by the dark matter or else he would be finished! Lady hawk was getting annoyed. She peaked Lavi's arm. Lavi yelped as he accidentally let Lady hawk out of his grip. He cursed for letting this happen. Now that his precious bird was out of his grip, Tyki now can fully fight against the exorcist without having to be worried about his bird's safety.

In the air, Lady Hawke looked worried about Tyki and that exorcist, Lavi. She doesn't want Tyki kill because of her. She was devastated when she learned Tyki killed some hunters that wanted to capture her, though she didn't remember those events after she went to her human form after dusk. She will not allow Tyki to kill for her again! Before she could do anything, two akuma attacked her from the air.

Lady hawk quickly avoided the attacks as she activated her innocence. Her left wing grew bigger; now the feathers become as sharp as blades in a silver metallic color with a cross glowing on it. Thankfully, there's only a couple L1 akuma, something Lady Hawke can handle in her condition. She quickly destroyed the akuma, but unknown to her, she was being target in the shadows.

Back to the ground, Lavi was still glaring at the Noah. Not letting the enemy out of his sight.

"I have a question for you, Noah." Lavi said as Tyki blinked confused. "Why do you care about the bird's safety? Don't you Noah destroy innocence as soon you see it?""

Tyki sighed as he closed his eyes. He doesn't owe any explication to a red haired brat. He could only see in his mind the image of his lover wearing a wedding gown with a smile in her face

'Tyki…'

The voice of his lover called out in his mind. A voice he loved to hear but he couldn't heart it ever since they both were cursed. He vowed to himself he would break the curse, even if that met killing human and akuma alike. Tyki opened his eyes and glared at the bookman Jr.

"The hawk is my life." Tyki said, as he continued. " I will not allow any hunter, any exorcist , any akuma and any Noah to take her away from me! Not as long as I breathe!"

Now Lavi was surprise, he didn't expect this kind of answer from the Noah. How come that bird was important to this guy? Important enough to go against the other Noah from taking the bird away from him? What's the birds secret?

Then, they heard a screeching. They looked up and they saw Lady Hawke being hit by an arrow in her chest. She was screeching in pain as she fell. Tyki's eyes widened in pure horror as he saw his beloved hawk falling.

"ALLEN!"

To Be continued.

I know I was evil for leaving it an evil cliff hanger like that, but it was necessary for the chapter to finish right there. So what do you think? Will Allen survive? What will happen to Tyki? Wait to find out in the next chapter!

And I wanna thanks to Kithren for helping me with the chapter. You rule, girl! ^_^

Please, don't forget to give your reviews. I wanna know your thoughts about the story. And suggestions are welcome too.

Now as usual, a little preview for the next chapter:

Then, they landed in the front of a creepy gate of a castle near of a cliff. Lavi sweetdrops; he wasn't sure if it was the right place to save the hawk. The castle looked like the ones where vampires live.

"KRORY!" shouted Tyki, beating the gate, making some craks " OPEN THIS DAMMAED GATE NOW! ITS AN EMERGENCY!"

With this, the gates opened and reveled this tall, very gullible, Vampire like man. Needless to say Lavi almost freak out.

"V-v-v-vvamp-vampire!" Lavi thought in Panic.
