Chapter 2

The next day Lavi, Miranda, Allen, Lenalee, Kanda, and Amarante off in search of the possible innocence. Allen could hear Kanda and Lavi arguing in the distance.

"What are they fighting about now?" Allen moaned.

"Well", Lenalee started, "They could be fight about having to go on a mission together, or they could be fighting about who is a better fighter, or…"

"The possibilities are endless," Allen cut in.

Miranda suddenly cut ahead of them.

"Hey", Miranda said,

"Lavi, you do realize that Kanda could cut you in half with one swipe from Mugen right, then what would I…" Miranda cut off. Right then Allen, Lenalee, and Amarante realized that she liked Lavi.

"Wow… I didn't think she even liked him," Amarante said.

The rest of the day was travelled in silence, except for the occasional mumbled swear word when someone's toe hit a tree root.

The next morning came and Kanda was, as usual the first to wake up. After he had some cold Soba noodles that Jerry, the Black Order's cook made for him, he heard some rustling to the right of the camp that they made.

"Mugen, unsheathe," he muttered.

He heard the rustling again, this time in the campsite, and when he turned around, there was nothing there.

"I could have sworn it was right behind me," Kanda muttered, "But I do not believe in ghosts.

"I am behind you," the ghost/person said. Kanda whipped around and before the thief could get away, Kanda saw the slightest shimmer in the air, and then a young French boy came into view in Kanda's hands.

"Masque activate," the boy muttered. And all of a sudden a black reflective mask appeared on his face. But it was but a half mask, like that of General Cross's. Suddenly Kanda was reminded of a new Exorcist in the Black Order. Her name was Chardonnay, and she was French also. And she kind of looked like the boy. Blonde-Red-ish hair, around sixteen. All like the boy he held in front of him. Her innocence was like this boy's only on the other side of her face and it was silver, not black. Could they be related, Kanda thought, if they were they had to be close, like brother and sister, maybe even twins. Kanda was shocked back into reality when he realized three things; the first was he couldn't move. The second was that the boy was staring, well more like glaring at him. Then he realized that the reason why he couldn't move was because the boy was staring at him!

"Allez Tomber Dans Un Trou Et Di…" the boy started to mutter with a dark voice, when Lavi hit him on the back of the head.

"Well I think that will be score one for the good guys." Lavi said bluntly.

"YOU BAKA USAGI, I HAD IT HANDLED," Kanda yelled.

"Well it looks to me like he was about to put you on ice, Yuu," Lavi said calmly.

"Yes didn't it seem at all weird to you that he had the same exact mask as Chardonnay?" Lenalee said wisely. Lenalee noticed that Kanda's face was turning red and was about to say something when Kanda said,

"No, not the same mask at Char, I mean it was the same mask but his was a different color, it was black," he finished. Now that he thought about it, the Bake Usagi did save him; Chardonnay boasted the same power in her first witnessed fight with the Akuna. She would glare her opponent in the face and then they would be immobilized, then they would dissolve.

"I guess we will have to find out what he wants in the morning," Kanda heard Lenalee say. As he was sitting down to wait, he realized he missed the entire conversation.

After a while, the boy woke up from his induced sleep. He found that he was in handcuffs fashioned out of thin wooden vines. He grimaced, he knew he could break out of wood, it was an ancient law set forth by his ancestors. He saw the female with short brown hair walking toward him with a gentle look on her face. He could tell that she would be a lot nicer than the male.

"So I might as well start off now," The woman started, "my name is Miranda, my companions are Lenalee, Allen, Kanda, Amarante, and this one joined us while you were out, Chardonnay. Each one in turn looked at the boy and waved so he would know who they were. One of the people, Chardonnay, looked about his age and kind of pretty.

"So," Miranda started, "what we would like to know is who you are and how you got here, and why you are here.

"Ok," the boy said, but only if she is over here," he said looking at Char.

"Ok, fine," Miranda said and called her over."

"Now you will start talking right?" Miranda asked

"Yes I will," He settled down for a good long story. "My Name is Nathaniel DeFranc, and I am 16 years old." "As you can tell I am French, but I am also American." "My Mother is the French one in the family, and my Father is the American. I can fight, my parents had me training in martial arts from the age of 1 year old. I came here from a little village called Fiore. There, life is boring, and the only entertainment I had was hurting the local boys, they had no knowledge of the martial arts, and they wished to learn." "So I tried to teach them, and they failed miserably." "Those monsters, I don't know what you call them, Attacked the village, I tried to protect them, but I failed, as did the boys. As far as I know I am the only survivor. The boy finished with tears in his eyes.

"I HATE THOSE MONSTERS! The boy said, wiping the tears from his eyes angrily. Amarante sensed strong feelings coming from the direction of the boy, but the feelings weren't coming from the boy, they were coming from Chardonnay! One would think that the emotions were coming from the boy, but they were coming from the new girl. The boy had strong feelings of hatred emanating from him. Yet Chardonnay had feelings of sadness, had she been in the destruction? Had she lost her parents too? Amarante could not help feeling sorry for the children; they had both lost their parents apparently, but maybe they had been relatives, but had not realized it.

"Onward HO! Lavi yelled.

The next couple of days had gone by nicely, Kanda and Amarante walking together toward the front, whispering to each other. Blissfully leaving the others alone.

Finally after three long, uneventful days, they reached the Headquarters of the Black Order.

"Wow," Nathaniel breathed out, "It's huge." "I have never been to London," he said, "but, I have often dreamt of this place."

Allen got an odd feeling, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it.

"Do you think you have been here before?" Lenalee asked

"No I have never been here, but for the last two years, I have seen this place in my dreams." "The building always seemed to be calling, and every night I would go a little bit closer, then wake up in a cold sweat." "Anyways, let's go see the Head," he said with a smile.

"Komui Lee is the head of the Science department here at HQ," Lenalee lee started, "And he is also my older brother, so if you take a liking, be careful, he has a sister complex." She thought of how many times in the past he had thought of ways to take her and her "date" down. Even when it had been a "just friends" occasion.

"Come on young one," Komui said grabbing Nate by the collar. "Time to make some new friends," Komui said with an evil smile on his face.
