I kept getting alerts so I was like "Oh yea I need to post a new chapter."

I feel special when I get alerts. They're almost as heart warming as reviews.

I only have three reviews. Give me more. ;)

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, just don't be an ass.

Lillian stared up at General Cross from her seat on the couch. She really didn't want to go anywhere else with him. She stared at his outstretched hand, not sure if she should grab it. She could feel Cross begin to become impatient and soon he reached down for her arm. Lillian shoved her hand in his before he could bend down to grab her. She didn't want to be grabbed anymore. Cross pulled her up to her feet, his hand wrapping around hers. Lillian felt her heart begin to beat frantically as he squeezed her hand gently. He began to walk to the door and she followed him willingly this time. The guards in the room glanced at each other before they started to follow them.

"Don't come with us." Cross said before opening the door and stepping outside.

"But sir, we're supposed to watch you!"

"I don't need to be babysitted." The General replied in an annoyed tone. Once he brought Lillian out into the hall he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her up off the ground. Cross decided that the only way to get rid of the pesky guards would be to ditch him, and that's just what he did. He got way ahead of them and took different turns down the hallways to lose them. After escaping, Cross stopped and frowned, "Idiots." He mumbled under his breath.

"Put me down!" Lillian yelled, feeling her head spinning after being dragged down the hall so quickly.

Cross set the girl back down on the ground before pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He lifted one from the pack before sliding it back into his pocket. Cross put the unlit cigarette in between his lips before he started walking to one of the training rooms, "Come, my precious Lily." He beckoned, looking behind just to make sure she would follow him. He felt his lips curl into a smirk as she gave him a mean glare before following. Cross liked the resistance she was putting up. It was nice to have a woman not drool all over him and it would be victorious when he finally got to her.

Lillian crossed her arms against her chest, mumbling under her breath in French. She was using many profanities with Cross's name at the end of them. The blond girl followed him into a deserted training room and walked into the middle of it. There was no furniture here; it looked more like a sparring area. The ground was cushioned and the walls were completely white. She turned around to face Cross who was blocking the door, her only way out. She kept glaring at him and waited for him to speak.

"Now that I'm your teacher, you will call me master."

"Your name is General Cross Marian and I will call you as such." Lillian said. She knew he would get his jollies from her calling him master and she wasn't going to let him have it. "Would you please just get this lesson over with?" She asked, feeling her stomach grumble. Lillian had still not eaten breakfast and she didn't like training on an empty stomach. Her body needed fuel to work.

Cross frowned at Lillian and rolled the unlit cigarette around in his mouth. He pulled out a lighter from his back pocket and touched the flame against the tip of his cigarette before stashing it away. He took a long drawl before blowing out a big puff of smoke from between his lips. "What have you been doing in your training sessions?" He asked.

"Trying to bring up my synchronization rate." Lillian replied, glad things were getting serious now and that he wasn't playing anymore.

Cross tilted his head to the side, letting his cigarette hang from the side of his mouth. He could talk clearly without having to take it out. It took a bit of practice before he could manage it, "Have you learned how to fight yet?"

"No, that's what I was going to do today until some man kidnapped me."

"Hm, I wonder who that man is. He sounds like a good looking guy, a real head turner." Cross said with a smirk. It grew when Lillian gave him an annoyed look. He breathed in and exhaled a trail of smoke again before he spoke, "Alright I'll teach you how to fight as a way of apologizing for kidnapping you."

"Fine." Lillian said, eyebrows furrowing together. She was never good at fighting. When they would break out at home she would be the one to stop them, not participate in one. Lillian had gotten mad at one of her brothers once and punched him but it hurt a lot. She probably punched him wrong but at least he stopped being bad afterwards. She hoped that Cross would really teach her something valuable. Lillian didn't want to lose time that could be spent doing something productive.

"Now since you've got a support innocence you won't really be fighting akuma but you still need to know how to defend yourself." Cross said. Teaching her to fight may be a bad idea; she might use the skills he was going to teach her against him. Cross had no doubt in his mind that he could overpower her but he still would never harm a woman. They were too fragile to injure. "First, I'm going to see how well you do in defense so I know what needs to be worked on."

Lillian nodded her head as she listened carefully. It sounded reasonable that he evaluate her abilities before making a training program. She uncrossed her arms from her chest and let them hang at her sides. She felt nervous about trying to defend herself against a General but he wouldn't be too rough on her, would he? She watched him intently and before she could blink he was gone. Her eyes widened and the hairs on the back of her neck stood as she felt someone standing behind her.

"Your reactions are slow." Cross said from behind, reaching out his hands to grab her. He was surprised to see Lillian move before he could get his hands on her. Cross looked at the blond girl and noted the look of determination on her face. It looked adorable on her. He smiled before he started moving again, "You need to be faster, Lily."

"Only close friends are allowed to call me Lily." Lillian said, trying to glare at him but it was hard to do when he was moving quickly around her. She was beginning to feel dizzy just trying to keep up. It was hard, first she thought she had gotten the hang of it and then just moments later he would be gone again. Lillian frowned and balled her hands into fists, 'I wish he was slower!' She thought before being knocked into one of the walls. She put out her hands to stop her face from smashing against it and was going to turn around before Cross pinned her against the wall.

"I've caught you." He said into her ear, pushing his body against hers. Lillian grinded her teeth together as she tried to keep herself composed. "Get off of me." Lillian said as calmly as she could, squirming when she felt his body warmth. She turned around and put her hands against his chest to push him away. He was only nudged an inch by her strength. It was like trying to move a mountain.

"You're terrible; we've got a lot of work to do." Cross smiled and leaned his head closer to hers. He couldn't help but chuckle as she banged the back of her head against the wall just to get away from him.

Lillian looked away from his face that was just inches from hers, "I'll get better." She said firmly. He put his hand under her chin and forced her to look at him. Lillian blinked and tried to pull away but soon tasted cigarettes in her mouth. Her eyes widened as Cross pressed his lips against hers. She had no idea where the cigarette had gone but it wasn't in his mouth anymore. Lillian felt her whole body tingle as his lips moved against hers. It was a soft and gentle kiss, something she didn't expect from him. Lillian snapped out of her daze and balled up her right hand into a fist. She brought it up and slammed it into the side of his face, causing Cross to stumble over.

"You're a pervert!" Lillian shouted as she stormed towards the door.

Cross rubbed his cheek and felt blood begin to blossom on his lower lip. She certainly had a hardy right hook when she was angry. He watched her storm towards the door and smiled, "You sure took a long time to hit me."

Lillian stopped at the door, her hand on the doorknob. She turned half of her body to look at him. She honestly had no explanation for why it took her so long to hit him. Maybe her body just reacted positively to the intimacy. She gripped the handle as he started walking over to her, "No, stay away from me." Lillian said, becoming irritated once again as Cross pretended he couldn't hear her, "If you don't slow down I'm going to-" Lillian stopped speaking as her hand bracelets began to glow. A strange purple glow began at the top of his head and encased the rest of his body.

Cross stopped and looked down at himself, brows lifting in surprise, "Huh… I can't move." He said as he tried to move his arm. He was mistaken. He could move but it was at a slower pace. It was like something had slowed down his entire body. Cross glanced at Lillian's activated innocence and smirked, "Well, we found you can do something else besides kiss horribly."

Lillian covered her mouth. She was shocked that her innocence could do such an amazing thing. She ignored his comment about her kissing. Of course she was horrible, he was the only man she had ever kissed. "Are you okay…?" She asked, moving away from the door to check on him.

"I will be when you give me another kiss."

"You're the worst!" Lillian said, throwing open the door and walking out of the room. She didn't care if it took him five days to walk back to his room. Lillian was getting tired of him messing with her when she needed to be working. 'But he did help me unlock a new ability…,' She thought. Lillian shook her head and continued on to the dining hall.

----

There wasn't a line at the window which was a good thing. Lillian didn't feel like waiting for food. She came up to the window with anger still radiating from her. Jerry gave her a concerned look and leaned down on the counter to get a good look at the young French girl. "What's the matter, Lily?" He asked. Jerry was a good listener and most of the women in the Order came to talk to him about their problems.

"General Cross." Lillian said darkly, looking into the cooks face.

"Oh, don't say anymore." Jerry said with a heavy sigh. So Lillian was the newest victim to the Generals womanizing ways? He didn't even need to hear the story, he could guess what happened. "Want something that will cheer you up?"

"Please." Lillian replied, trying to smile for him. She didn't want to go around glaring at the ground. Lillian was usually happy and upbeat. People would know something was up if they saw her in this state.

Jerry winked at her before disappearing into the kitchen. He returned shortly after with a bowl of fruit, "Ta-dah!" He presented it to her with a wave of his arms, "I made you a fruit salad in the shape of a flower!"

Lillian glanced at the bowl. There were oranges in the middle with different colored fruits to make up colorful petals. Lillian felt her face begin to glow, "Wow, thanks! It's really pretty!" She said happily, wrapping her hands around the bowl. Jerry gave her a thumbs up as she departed from the kitchen window. Lillian began walking over to the exorcist table and turned around immediately as she spotted another red head.

"Lily~"

'Aah, he saw me.'

A spiky red headed exorcist jumped from the table and skipped over to her. He was grinning from ear to ear. Lavi put his arm through Lillian's and began to steer her over to the exorcists table, "Where are you going? Come sit over here with me!"

Lillian couldn't say no and leave. He had already pushed her over to the exorcists table that was filled with somewhat familiar people. He pushed her onto the bench, forcing her to sit down. Lillian set her bowl on the table and glanced around at the people sitting there. This must be all of the other exorcists at the Order. She saw a white haired boy surrounded by a mountain of dishes, Kanda, and a pale woman with short curly brown hair. She wasn't sure of their names and her attention was taken away from them as Lavi scooted close to her.

"I missed you." Lavi said, gazing at her with his one eye. The other was covered with an eye patch and why he wore one, he never did say. His green eye was glittering with playfulness as he looked at her, "Did you know I almost died?"

"W-what?" Lillian felt her heart being tugged at. Even though she was annoyed by Lavi and his flirting, she would be sad if he did get hurt. "Are you okay?"

"I'm better now that you're here!" Lavi replied, wrapping an arm around Lillian's waist.

Kanda slammed down his chopsticks, breaking them in half as they hit the bowl his soba noodles were in. He was so disgusted by Lavi's flirting that he couldn't even finish his breakfast. Kanda gave the red headed boy a glare that could kill and stood up from the table, tray in hand. He turned and went to find a quieter place to eat.

"Ah, Yuu-chan is such a sourpuss."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Kanda hissed loudly at Lavi before sitting down at an empty table.

Lavi smiled. He liked how it annoyed Kanda to hell when he used his first name. He turned his attention back to Lillian who had started to eat her breakfast. "Where have you been? Komui said you got kidnapped this morning."

Lillian chewed on the sliced strawberry she had put in her mouth. After chewing for a while she swallowed and looked down at her bowl, "General Cross Marian made me his new student." She glanced up as the white haired boy in front of her started choking on his food. Lavi raised an eyebrow, "You okay, Allen?"

"Oh, you're Cross's student." Lillian said as she watched Allen clear his throat. He looked up at her with his grey eyes, "He's your…teacher?" He repeated, still not believing what he was hearing.

"Yes." Lillian frowned as she remembered all of the horrible things Cross did to Allen. Was he going to do the same thing to her?

Allen looked down at his food and felt sorry for her. Once something caught his master's interest it was rare that he let it go. Lavi looked between the two as silence fell upon the table. He frowned and curled a finger of his through Lillian's soft blond hair. "He's horrible." Lavi commented, though he shouldn't really be talking bad about Cross. It was him that helped them survive The Ark. If he hadn't been there they would all be dead right now.

Lillian glanced at Lavi's hand that was playing with her hair. She wanted to say Lavi wasn't any better than Cross. She started eating her fruit again and tried to ignore the red head boy fawning over her.

"Let go of my woman." Lillian heard the voice of Cross drift over to their table. She looked up and saw the General standing over them. Allen shrunk away from the man and Lavi just looked at him, "She's not yours." Lavi replied flatly.

Cross made a hmph sound before grabbing Lillian and pulling her off the bench. Lillian snatched her arm away from his grasp, "I'm trying to eat breakfast." She said, going to sit back down. She got one leg through before Cross pulled her back.

"We have a lot of work to do. You don't need to eat anymore; you might throw it up after what I put you through."

Lillian blinked at him. What was he going to do? Suddenly she didn't want to be anywhere alone with him. So far he couldn't behave himself. He had touched her inappropriately many times and even kissed her during one of their "training sessions". She opened her mouth to say she didn't want him as her teacher anymore but quickly shut it as he picked her up. "Hey!" Lillian shouted as he began carrying her away, "This is highly inappropriate!"

Lavi and Allen stared wide eyed as Cross walked out of the dining hall with Lillian in his arms. Lavi glanced at Allen who seemed paler than usual, "Shouldn't we stop him?" He asked the young boy. Allen turned his head slowly to Lavi and shook his head from side to side, "If we try he'll do horrible things to us." He replied before falling silent as he began to remember the things Cross would do to him when he tried to stop him from doing something.

Again I hope I wasn't too ooc. If you're wondering I based Lillian's innocence off of a support type character on mmo's. Think of priests/priestesses, I guess? She has level 10 heal and level 10 decrease agility so far? Haha. 8D
