Everything around him was black like a room without a ground and it was cold. No, it was icy. It felt like he was trying to escape or to run away but he couldn't move. There was something that clawed its cold invisible pranks into his skin and held him where he was. Kanda looked down himself and saw that there was still the wound but he wasn't bleeding at all. He closed his eyes and just thought that everything was over now.
"And so it ends, huh?"
"…As if I was the one to decide…" Kanda said not thinking to whom he was speaking.
"Listen boy, I know that you don't want to die and that you are the type of guy who won't accept his fate so I have an offer for you. You, Yuu you're already dead and nobody can change that but there's one way to escape. The side of you that does whatever he likes, only if you're okay with letting your old self die and accept that you're no longer what you're used to be you can stay among the living. Free your emoptions only this way you'll get what you want."
"And what is that?"
"… A place to live in peace. You want to have a place where you belong to and therefor you need power. You want to be powerful enough to decide for yourself who the one to die is and who the one to live is. When you have a place for yourself you want freedom, and that's when I'm joining. I have the power to give you the freedom that you want and you have the body that I need to do so. We have to unite and then we can create a new world where nobody will have to suffer like you had to but therefore we first have to cleanse this world of humans and their idiotic mistakes and selfishness."
"The black order…" the back-haired murmured.
"Yeah we can begin with all of them, they just took you when you were born and made cruel experiments until they managed to create the ultimate warrior. The second exorcist who is able to exchange his life for power and is able to heal fast but therefore your lifespan had been shortened and bound to a lotus flower just to control you. That's not freedom and that's not true power. They just needed a strong warrior who has to do all the dangerous missions and who has to save their asses if they're endangered. You have now the chance to get power and that's all we need."
"You- you mean becoming a noah-"Kanda complained but was interrupted.
"What do you have to lose?! Nothing! Cause nobody cares about you! You have to say goodbye to your old life or you'll go under. Come with me, I'll show you what it means to be free. Together we're going to create a new world for you. All you have to do is to open your eyes and to take my hand."
Kanda hesitated but opened his eyes again and saw a little boy standing in front of him. The boy was wrapped up in bandages especially around his face were many so only the boys left eye was seen.
"What is now, freedom or prison forever? You chose but remember you won't get a second chance." With that he held his hand out to Kanda.
"…I… want to live!" Kanda said and took the boys hand.
Suddenly all the bandages fell to the ground and Kanda saw that it was the boy who had attacked him in the infirmary and who looked like himself. The little one was smirking, his right eye crimson and then everything blurred again. The last thing Kanda saw was a big fat thing or person with strange clothes a hat and an incredible wide grin on his face standing in front of him while holding his hand.
XxXxXxXxX
Back to the place where a few hours earlier the order stood most of the younger exorcists were crying their hearts out or whining around or being depressive when they watched a certain hour glass with a lotus in it which was pulsateing.
"Shit! Allen… jus- just… fuck!!" Lavi nearly cried and took a few deep breaths while Lenalee was already holding on Allen's shoulder crying like a waterfall. "I- it's just so unfair… He- he wasn't ever evil at all…" The girl tried to say. Allen didn't talk he just stared at the hourglass seeing the last petal fall and wither like the other twelve before.
XxXxXxXxX
At the same time somewhere in France the reason why the exorcists where crying lay on a noticeable expensive looking bed in a dark room squirming and trembling as if he was deadly ill. Beside the bed stood a curly haired man watching the boy when his skin was getting darker and darker and the cross was appearing on his forehead. Finally the body in front of him relaxed and on the man's face grew a grin.
Well until now Ticky enjoyed the way things went.
XxXxXxXxX
"Uh… my head… shit it hurts…" Kanda whined and sat up still in the same bed he first was in. When he finally realized where he was he took a look around and wondered how he got there. When he looked down himself he checked that he was totally nude under the sheets. The next shock was that his skin was grey, a really dark grey.
"What the hell…?" He thought but the sound of banging open the door interrupted him.
A girl with a strange hairstyle came in and stormed towards him. "Yaaay! You're awake! How are you feeling brother?" She asked, smiling brightly and jumped onto him. He remembered her name being Rhode then he just nodded and said "M-m'kay…?" It came out more like a whisper.
She began "Don't be s shocked you're one of my family, uhm well that doesn't change much…" Kanda sweat dropped. … "But I would never ever hurt my cute little brother!" She continued and hugged him.
"Wow I didn't know you could be so friendly to former exorcists." Ticky said while he was leaning against the door.
"Mean as always Ticky-pon." The girl said and stood up. Kanda stared at Ticky remembering that he had fought this guy in Edo well he wasn't pretty happy about seeing him here again but what could he do?
"Hm? What's up hime-chan, are you already this interested in me?" Ticky asked and smirked at the black haired boy. Rhode already had a faint smile on her face.
"Huh? Wha- Shut the fuck up you asshole!" Kanda snapped at the man and made himself ready to jump up.
"Hold on! Did he just call me the a-word?" Ticky looked to Rhode who just shrugged, her smile getting bigger. He continued turning his gaze to Kanda, walking towards him. "Did you little brat just call me the a-word?!" Ticky simply hated being called an asshole so be aware.
"Yeah, do you have any problems with that?!" Kanda snapped again at Ticky and jumped up standing in front of the taller man. Suddenly the seriousness on the man's face faded and his lips curved into a small smile while Rhode already was giggling.
"What's so funny now?!" Kanda growled slightly annoyed and not understanding what was going on.
"Oh nothing it's just a little bit unexpected that you have no problem with being so… permissive…" Ticky said in an indescribable seductive tone. "Or do you already want to go for one round?" He finished and looked down the boy.
It took exactly three seconds for the boy to register the message and to look down himself. He had totally forgotten that he wasn't wearing anything and immediately he held his hands in front of his manhood, face already tomato-like. Then he tried to get back under the sheets as fast as he could while the other two were laughing their asses off.
XxXxXxXxX
"Yo I dunno if these will fit, but better than nothin'!" A guy with short black hair in grubby clothes, he remembered his name being David, said and threw some clothes at Kanda who was still wrapped up in sheets and maundered something about stupid Ticky, Rhode's damn giggling and fucking not wearing anyting.
Shortly after he was finished he got introduced with another noah named Wisely and soon they were chatting.
"Ticky is the noah of pleasure, Rhode is the noah of dreams and Skin was the noah of rage. So far so good but what about the others? I don't even know how many there are... And what's about me now?" Kanda asked him a bit unsure of what he was actually trying to ask.
"Huh? Oh well we are fourteen noahs and each one has his own abilities that no one other has. But there are also abilities like controlling akuma's self destruction or destroying the innocence that everybody has. If you want to know what abilities you have you just have to use them, but not on me please..." Wisely explained and added quickly "Um.. about your number you should better go and ask the earl himself. First of all you should always talk to the earl."
"To the earl?! Are you nuts or something?!" the raven haired exploded and went on "I'm barely 2 days here, a former exorcist who has killed one of-"
"Us? Yeah we know that and did you notice anything like ''we want to kill you 'cause you killed Skin'? Nope. And what's with you?! Since the earl brought you here himself you shouldn't think of him as such a guy who first takes you hostage and then kills you." The other retortet and turned around to go and simply waved him a goodbye.
After that little conversation the boy went out into the forest. Secretly he had gotten curious about his abilities as a noah and wanted to try some things.
XxXxXxXxX
After Kanda had fallen down that cliff Allen felt horrible but he couldn't believe that the older was dead. On every of his missions he tried to look for his 'old friend'. And the guilt he felt was growing with every day.
Today he had tried to get the mission in Paris 'cause he had already some things to do in this area and he still hadn't looked for Kanda there but Johnny had told him that Leverrier had personally ordered the three half-akuma to do this mission for some unknown reasons and that was what Allen irritated. Maybe it was because noahs were there and so he simply decided to go there. Mission or not.
XxXxXxXxX
"Damn!" Kanda shouted and hit with his fist a tree. He had been training for the past few hours but he didn't manage to notice any kindy of a power he didn't have before at all.
"Oi isn't that... No this can't be him..."
"Why is that guy still alive?! Didn't he fall off that cliff on the other day?"
"Well now we know for sure why Leverrier wanted us to do this mission. Let's finish it fast."
"Are you nuts?! Fast is no fun... and besides that we should punish him for betraying the order shouldn't we?!"
"What are you two up to..?"
"No I'm not. Hmm... actually you're right. Let's make him regret that he's still alive."
"Tss do what you want I'll watch..."
Right when the boy was to go, a big explosion behind him made him catapult off with an Ô.ô expression and land hard on his stomache. He picked himself up and coughed as if there was no tomorrow when he suddenly saw three of the orders half-akuma storming towards him ready to attack again. He stood up and ran away, his only option at the moment. But the big fat half-akuma that also attacked Allen in the old headquarters jumped high into the air and fired a big bullet or whatever it was they were firing down at Kanda who managed to avoid it by jumping to the side and running into another direction. But he failed when the other long haired guy jumped into his way and said " Ah ah you're not going anywhere." Kanda tried once again to run away but when he turned around he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his right shoulder. He looked at it and saw that there was a claw piercing into his flesh and on that claw was a chain which was fixed on the fat half akumas arm. Suddenly that asshole swung the chain with Kanda like Skin did once around and made the boy hit nearly every singel rock or tree in the area. When he finally stopped and let Kanda fall to the ground, already bleeding the other suddenly spit some toxic acid at the boy.
It burnt like hell and he had already lost much blood, he thought he hadn't had so many open wounds in years. He already felt numb and his vision was all blurred when the fat one grabbed him by the collar and laughed evilly "Ha I can still remember what you did to the order but where's your great power now?!" And then he hit him hard.
"Power... to create a world after your imagination."
"Cause nobody cares about you!"
He was slapped across the face.
"Freedom or prison forever?"
Again.
"Only if you're okay with letting your old self die and accept that you're no longer what you're used to be."
And again.
"Quit getting counted out!"
By now he was lying on the ground seemingly unconscious and bleeding thanks to more and more injuries.
"Quit getting hurt!"
"Stop that you two!" The third one interrupted and made his way towards them.
"Quit getting tortured!"
"Maaan..." Both of them nearly pouted. "I'm going to end this. I can't stand it if you behave like you're animals, torturing your prey." With that he turned to Kanda, who still didn't move and murmured "Don't visit me from the other side" 'I know it's not your fault...'
"You are the one who tortures now!"
When he was to lash out and kill Kanda the other two turned around to see how a dead 'noah' looked like they noticed that something was terrible wrong. Not Kanda but their companion had a hole in his stomache where now all the blood oozed out.
"W-what the..." He managed to say but suddenly his head was ripped off and thrown at them and the same happened with one of the guy's hands. The other two immediately ducked and watched in horror when the body of their comrade fell to the ground with a loud thud while the raven haired got up, his hair loosely hanging down over his eyes, and all they could see was his maniacal grin.
XxXxXxXxX
"H-how can this be?" One of the guys stottered and the skinny creepy looking guy who had long fair hair thouht "Fuck! Kens head was just ripped off, but how?! That little cheeky devil didn't even move. Could this be a noahs ability or something like that? What should we do now?"
"What now?!! You two are suddenly so silent! Ahahahahaha!!" said cheeky devil shouted at them and threw his head back laughing like a maniac so they could see that he had little fangs like a vampire.
Suddenly he stopped laughing and looked straight at them. "I dunno what's with you but I remember that you like playing with me... Now I'm going to play with you.. Hehehe..." They made a look of distaste and readied for what was coming.
"Why you... You little piece of shit!! I'm going to choke you for what you did to Ken!!" The fat half-akuma yelled and stormed towards the boy who just smirked and lowered his gaze. The other guy jumped and fired a few bullets towards him but not ingle one hit him. They seemed to bounce and hit the ground were dark big holes were created. When he saw that his firing had no effect at all he was even more in rage than before and with a bit cursing he transformed his arm to blade nd lashed out.
Suddenly Kandas head shot up and he hit with only his fist against the blade who was fought off. The other half akuma who stood beside a huge rock couldn't belive it. Usually the boy's hand would've been off by now but nope, nothing. He looked at the other who had the same shocked look on his face and said "Oi I don't know what's gong on but he killed Ken in less than a second and he also whacked your blade away so let's make a withdrawl and check the situation, we can always come back." The other grit his teeth and looked down to Kandas hand where he noticed a crmson liquid dripping to the ground. He grinned and turned to his comrade once more "See?! He's just a human and I fucking don't care if he has some weird powers now because humans die easily so I'll finish him off. Now!" "What? No wait stay back! Hey!!!!" Said comrade shouted but it was too late. The big guy stormed towards the raven-haired transforming his blade anew and right when he was only about one and a half meters away and striked out he could suddenly feel a stinging sharp and burning pain in his chest.
"Oh my god..." The other half-akuma managed to bring out when he saw how his comrades heart was suddenly ripped out of his body without actually harming the skin or clothes. The corpse fell to the ground forward, its blade mssing Kandas nose by inches.
"SHIT!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU, YOU CURSEDLY LITTLE BITCH!!!?" The other guy yelled full of rage but also fright and started to back away more and more until he finally hid behind the rock he first stood beside.
"What? Ha! Come over here and I'll show you what a bitch I am." Kanda answered his voice still having this dusky reverberation and grinned slowly.
'Shit, shit, shit!! How can this be?! Both of my comrades are dead and he didn't even move. It must be a invisible weapon or something. But it seems like I'm not in danger since I'm still alive... Maybe he can't... reach me?' The poor guy was interrupted in his thoughts when he suddenly noticed a few tiny crumbs of the rock crackle down of each side of his head. His eyes suddenly went wide and he instinctive ducked his head and at the same moment there was a noise like clapping hands hard above him. He crawled away as fast as he could and turned his head just to see the raven-haired standing on the other side of the rock which was somehow lifted high into the air and thrown at him. "Uaaaahh! Fuuck!" He yelled and fired as much bullets at it as he could in that short period of time making the rock crack in two and each part fell down beside the guy who already held his hands above his head, he thought he was going to be squashed.
"Uh-uh..?" He looked up not believing his luck just to see a pair of crimson eyes right in front of him. He shuddered and flinched slightly when the boy just looked straight at him as if he hadn't killed the other two of him a few minutes ago. When he tried to strike Kanda as fast as he could he suddenly his forearm was cut off. Oh sure he wanted to scream and that was what he did but he was so full of rage and fear that he nearly didn't care and wanted to choke the boy or something while reaching for him. That was his next big mistake because suddenly his hand was wringed and then he felt his body being lifted into the air befor he got thrown around and was painfully smashed against the ground.
He lay there and couldn't move. His body was crowded with pain. He had already lost so much blood and when he hit the ground he had also coughed some blood up. Maybe his lungs had been crimped, it wouldn't be something of much surprise. When he lay there, as if the raven-haired was giving him a little break before he threw him again through the air, he noticed the boys eyes were glowing crimson when he hurt the other but from time to time there was a tiny bit of blue in these actually so beautiful eyes and it seemed as if guilt and sorrow would take over but then the colour disappeared again in the spiral of his eyes. And that was when he began to grin again. This sick all too pathologically wide grin he hadn't seen on any other noahs face.
"Now I'll show you my... special ability..." And with these words spoken the world seemed to change completely around them. The grass the trees, every living thing besides them died suddenly off. The sky got darker until it was a dark red like dried blood, the same brown-red colour had the ground the trees which were already withered and suddenly it was so extremely windy... and cold. "Ha! What do you think?! This, this is my world. The red world, it's burning but cold like ice, coated with the blood of all this filthy humans, all other species and creatures like you! It's the combination of earth and hell. It would be the world where I was the one to dominate... Go back to the order and tell them..." He bent down until he whispered directly in the guys ear "The bad twin wants his gift back..."
Exactly when the last bit of the seemingly normal world was to disappear and Kanda stood up there was a loud bang before the raven-haired fell sidewards just to reveal another half-akuma and when the red disappeared so suddenly the guy on the ground could see a white-haired and a red-haired guy running towards them.
"I've found them and I already ended it, general." The other guy said turning to said boy and his attendant while blowing out his into a weapon transformed arm.
"Oh my fucking god what the heck did you think you were doing?!" Allen and Lavi nearly exploded when they saw their former comrade lying on the ground bleeding because of a hole on the back- and side of his head which was so big that one could easily place three or four fingers in there.
"You- you really killed him! Are you insane!?" The white-haired general went on while Lavi kneeled down next to his old friend looing at him in shock.
"Please calm down. I know I shouldn't have done that but first, Leverrier ordered me and my comrades to do it and second, if I hadn't fired he would have killed him." He pointed to their mutilated friend.
Speaking of their comrade. He was pretty in shock when the sudden noise was there and it scared him to no end when those eyes of the devil were still open, the bright red colour already fading, staring into nothingness.
Allen and the one who shot Yuu in the head were still yelling at each other when they suddenly heard a cracking noise. The two of them, Lavi and their other comrade looked at Yuu and immediateliy regreted it. The cranial bone which could be seen thanks to the big hole was slowly reappearing, and the flesh, the nerves and blood streams also. When the wound had healed completely the few hair strands that got burned also reappeared and suddenly the as dead pronounced boy flinched slightly and he blinked a few times before he rose to a sitting position. Allen and the other two just couldn't believe their eyes.
"Tsk. It seemes like you can't get enough of killing me, eh?" He said while he set his head then turning around grinning slowly.
END chapter 2
So now you see it's getting better and better. xD Did you like the scene with Ticky's pick-up line?? I laughed so hard when I thought about it I think I needed quite a time to write it but maaan is it hard to try writing each chapter long enough X.x And omg from now on it's so going to be complicated but hey that will (hopefully) lead to the plot (which isn't completely established yet). xD
Enjoy and Review :)
