Yuki R.: I'm back!...again. I'm updating for a few reasons. One, it's been a while so I figured 'what the hell'. And two,…yeah that's all I got. On with the story!

Chapter 3

Aya closed the door behind her, crouching down on her knees and taking in buckets worth of air to her seemingly oxygen deprived lungs. 'I can't believe I did that! What was I thinking? I don't know what came over me. And it wasn't even Kyra doing that! Though she was yelling at me for quite a ways of the walk back here. I hope Allen doesn't think badly of me now. What if he thinks I'm some kind of tramp? What should I do?' Questions whirled around her head at lightning speed, and she was starting to get a headache. 'Crap, now I'll have to go get medicine from someone for this.' Aya sighed to herself as she slowly stood up and opened the door before stepping into the hallway. She peeked around. 'No one out here, good. At least I don't have to worry about them pestering me.' She closed the door and started down the hall. 'Wait, where's the infirmary again? Ugh, I'll just go to the dining hall and see if there's anything to munch on.' The silver-gold haired girl started toward the dining hall, and was half way there when she passed by a large staircase. She looked at it curiously before heading down them to see where they mysteriously led to. Once she was ¾ of the way down she heard quiet voices that were gradually getting louder. She recognized one voice as the purple haired man she had spoken with earlier that morning, but the other one was young and unfamiliar to her. As she reached the bottom she saw a gigantic office, or the bottom floor of a mall made to look like an office. But at the other end of the office(A/N: yup, he's a strange one alright o.O) she saw whom the voices belonged to. The tall, older Chinese man and a teenage boy with outrageous red hair. As she stepped over an enormous pile of paperwork, her stiletto heel got caught on the edge of a book and she tripped, falling with a rather loud 'thump!' and slight squeak. Both men turned to see where the noise had come from and saw the girl sprawled out on the sea of papers, one foot sticking up in the air. Aya whimpered and attempted to stand, but before she could even move a muscle she was being hauled up to her feet firmly yet tenderly.

"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?" The strange redhead asked. He helped her get her balance back, being careful not to hurt her anymore than she might already be.

"Y-yeah, I'm alright. I don't thi-!" Aya cut short. She stared at his face, burning the image into her memory. He had pale skin and an eye patch over his right eye. He had the most beautiful emerald green eye(s) she had ever seen. And let's just say, she was a complete sucker for emerald eyes.

"That's good. I'm glad you're not hurt. We wouldn't want a cute girl like yourself to damage that pretty face." Aya blushed furiously at his comment and stepped back a bit towards Komui. "I'm Lavi by the way. What's your name?" Lavi gave her a super-sexy smile that made her melt under his gaze. Her knees buckled beneath her and the spunky redhead caught in surprise her as he cradled her against his chest. Aya's face turned a deeper shade of red, if that was even possible. (A/N: Apparently it is.) Lavi seemed to notice this and smiled to himself in thought. Komui cleared his throat, obviously feeling awkward in the current…situation. Lavi turned his head and looked at Komui. "Sorry 'bout that." He said before turning back to the teenage girl. "Is there somethin' you wanted?"

She wriggled out of his grasp and walked over to Komui and hugged his waist playfully. Both men looked a bit startled at the sudden action.

"I just wanted to see where these stairs led to. Now that I know, I think I might hang here more." Aya joked, trying to make the tension dissipate some. Apparently they thought she was serious.

"Sweet! I think I'll hang here more too then." Lavi reached for her hand but she mover it away before he could touch her. She wanted to avoid physical contact with this boy, just I case it could ruin what little progress she'd made with Allen, and she didn't want that.

"T-That's ok, I'm actually here for a different reason. You wouldn't understand." 'Or maybe he would. Allen mentioned another exorcist earlier named Lavi. This might be him, maybe. Oh well.' Aya tilted her head upward to talk to the elder man she was still latched tightly onto. "Hey Mr. Lee, I wanted to ask you something." But as she was about to ask him, Emily stormed into the room from the staircase.

"Don't listen to her, she just acts cute to hide when she's nervous." She was obviously furious, but no one seemed to know why. All except Aya who paled exceptionally.

"What? What are you talking about?" The guys asked and exchanged confused glances. Aya hid behind Komui, still grasping his waist tightly as she started to shake in fear. Lavi noticed her trembling and reached out, unlatching her from Komui and moving her to himself as he wrapped his arms around her frame protectively. That's when he noticed something. He glanced down and got a full face of cleavage.

'Holy shit! How did I not notice that before? Strike!' While he was lost in thought, Emily slowly walked up to them and stood there for a moment before she suddenly roundhouse kicked the redhead in the face. Aya let out a shriek and stepped back before she finally sighed in defeat and hesitantly walked over to Emily. The brown haired teen put a protective hand on her shoulder and glared at Komui.

"You, fix, now." She said while pointing from him, to Aya, then to the floor, each word spoken more hostile than the last, dripping with venom. Komui felt a shiver race down his spine and Lavi was beginning to show signs of consciousness.

"I-I don't understand, what's there to fix?" The Chinese man asked, a bit disgruntled. Emily just pushed the other girl forward more.

"Fix it, now." She said with more force than before.

"Sorry 'bout this. We think there might be something up with one of my weapons." Aya spoke quietly.

"O-okay, I'll see what I can do then." Komui said. He reached for her hand to take her with him, but received a death glare and growl from the other girl. He retracted his hand and started towards the lab connected to his office. (A/N: Ok, how big is his frickin office, for Christ's sake? It's got to be the size of Wal-Mart, jeez! I want it!)

Aya followed the young Chinese man to the lab. Lavi had finally regained full consciousness and stood up.

"Wait, I don't even know your name!" The redhead shouted after her.

"None ya." Emily said sourly.

"Is that French or something?" The boy asked in confusion.

"No, it's none ya, as in none ya damn business!" Emily snarled. She was starting that this boy was stupider than he looked. This was hard to accomplish, cuz he already looked like a complete idiot in her opinion.

"Oh. Meanie." The Bookman-to-be muttered to himself. Aya looked over her shoulder towards him.

"It's Aya. Aya Walker." She said with a grin on her face as she turned back around and walked into the large lab, out of sight.

'Aya Walker, huh? Nice name. Wait, Walker? Is she related to the little Moyashi? No fair, why does he get to have the cute relative?' Lavi pouted. Suddenly, he felt an icy chill run down his spine. He turned his head and saw Emily glaring at him.

"Don't even think about it, buddy. She's mine." She said with an evil smirk. Lavi just felt even more confused. Could this day get any weirder?

TBC

Yay, took me long enough. I'm such a terrible procrastinator, I waited so long to actually get off my lazy ass and finish typing this one.

Lavi: Why am I confused? I never get confused. What are you doing to me?

Yuki: Just having fun while moving the plot along. I can at least do that, can't I?

Lavi: I guess. But why did I have to get kicked? You could have damaged me!

Yuki: Meh, cuz sometimes I feel like you just need a good kick to the face.

Allen: That's all well and good, but can I ask something? When do I get to come back in?

Yuki: In the next chapter, calm your tits dude.

Allen:…..you do know I'm a boy right?

Yuki: No shit, captain obvious. Of course I know that, that's why I paired you with Aya, not Kanda.

Kanda: Why am I included in any of this?

Yuki: Cuz you're a lonely little fuck who needs to quit being pissy. *smiles*

Kanda: Call me that again and I'll skin you alive. *unsheathes Mugen*

Yuki: Oh, you wanna go, bitch? Bring it!

*insert epic fighting here*

Lavi&Allen: Hopefully they don't kill each other. She needs to write the next chapter…. Review please! Maybe Kanda will spare her if you do.
