So…. Hi again! Did you miss me? I'm sorry it took so long to update, I kept getting grounded, my grandpa's slowly dying from pneumonia, school hated me, and I think my stepdads a communist.. -_-" anyway, here's the next chapter! Thankyou for all the reviews, and Synk? Congratulations, your wish is my command apparently XD
I don't, nor ever will, own -man TT-TT
They start walking to Hevlaska.
"What's Hevlaska like Lavi?"
"Let's see, um… She's hard to describe, but when you see her don't be afraid."
"What does she do?"
"She does a lot of things. She tests how well you work with your innocence and makes a prophecy based on what the innocence tells her. She also stores he innocence that we haven't found accommodators for."
"Oh! That reminds me!" Kagehi opens a small portal and pulls out a backpack. "You'll probably want these." She gives the bag to Lavi and he looks inside.
"Innocence!" he exclaimed. "How many pieces did you find?"
"I counted fifteen."
"How'd you find so much?"
"I can sense it. I was actually on my way to the fifteenth when I got attacked by a couple Noahs."
"That's interesting," Komui interrupted. "Thank you for the innocence. Your skills could be very helpful to the order if you'd be willing to help. Here we are!" They stopped on a huge elevating platform, and it started moving towards an opening in the ceiling. "Hevlaska!"
I am here, Komui. The glowing form didn't seem to speak with her mouth but instead with her mind.
"I thought I was the only one who could do that!" Kagehi said with a look of shock.
"Do what?" asked Lavi.
Speak with my mind she said, projecting her thoughts so that everyone could hear.
"Aren't you full of surprises," states Komui. "What else can you do?"
"I'd like to keep that a secret. You never know if someone or something is listening, and every surprise gives me an edge during battles."
"Fine, be that way," Komui whined.
"Don't worry about it. I understand," assured Lavi. "This is war, and every surprise we can spring on them is helpful."
"By the way, do you know where my coat went? It's all I've got, that and the items inside it."
"She looks nervous and tense." "Yeah, it's back in the room," he said. "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about your portable armory," he whispered. Kagehi looked relieved.
"If you two are done, it's time to start," said an annoyed Komui. "Hevlaska? Will she meet your requirements?" Hevlaska's tentacles come up and wrap around Kagehi. She looks shocked for a second, and then seems to be in a lot of pain.
"Kagehi! What's wrong?" yelled Lavi, noticing how much pain she was in. She tried to respond, but when she opens her mouth she ends up cutting off her own scream, crying out in pain and silencing it for pride. He turns to Hevlaska. "Stop, please! I don't know what's happening, but please stop! She's in so much pain…"
Very well. She puts Kagehi down in front of Lavi.
"Kagehi! Kagehi! Come on, wake up!" She had passed out from the pain and wasn't responding. "Please, don't die!" Kagehi was trembling, but she was still breathing.
"That was new," said Komui, surprised once again. Lavi was still trying to wake Kagehi up, with no progress.
I could not measure her synchro-rate. When I tried it pushed her body and mind too far. I'm unsure if she is the one, but there something contained in the cube about a possibility of an infinite bond with the innocence.
"Did you find a prophecy?"
She is the manifestation of the true heart of darkness. She cannot unleash her true powers on her own.
"Interesting… So is she an automatic general?"
I would recommend putting her in the field before deciding. I sensed she has had a hard past. One that few others could survive both mentally and physically.
"Come on! Kagehi! Please!" Lavi was crying while holding Kagehi. She slowly regains consciousness and opens her eyes.
"Lavi, why are you crying?"
"I thought I lost a friend," he replied, wiping away his tears with a smile.
"A… friend?" she seemed confused.
"Yes, you are my friend," Kagehi gave a smile.
"You don't have to let go if you don't want to," she said as she closed her eyes and hugged him. "I… I have a friend." Lavi was shocked for a second, and then he smiled and hugged her back.
"Yes, yes you do."
"I know who's going to be partners on their mission," sang Komui. "Lavi, will you show her around? Remember to stop by the science division to get Kagehi measured for her uniform."
"I want one like Lavi's!"
"What about your weapons? They won't fit in it," reminded Lavi.
"I won't have to hide them anymore. I can put the ones I'm not using in a portal along with my coat."
"Weapons?" Komui was interested now.
"Yeah, I had a whole bunch stuffed in my coat," she told him. "Want me to show you?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Kay, hold on. Lavi, you said they're in the room we were in earlier, right?"
"Yeah, under the bed you were in."
"Thanks." She opened a portal and pulled out her coat and weapons. "I'm gonna keep 'em on for now, though." She strapped one of her katanas back onto her belt, along the two daggers on her legs and puts her coat back on. "Let's see… I've got three katanas, two pistols, and five daggers on me. I have too much to inventory inside a portal that I can pull them out of if I need to."
"You recovered well I see," said Komui.
"That was nothing compared to some of the things I've lived through alone…" She got a far-off look on her face, and shook herself out of the past. Lavi looked worried.
"Let me show you around, kay?" He was hoping it would distract her, and it worked.
"Kay." Lavi showed her around, showing her what all the rooms looked like and where they were, stopping in front of a door in a circular, many-leveled hallway, smaller than the one Kagehi first appeared in.
"This is your room. Guess what?"
"What?"
"That room's mine!" He pointed at the room next to it. "We're neighbors! Wait, that's with houses. What would you call it with rooms?" Kagehi laughed.
"I have no idea. By the way, what did Hevlaska say?"
"She said you were the manifestation of the true heart of darkness, and that you can't unlock your true powers on your own."
"I have no idea what that means, but it sounds cool. By the way, is there a way to get on top of the towers?"
"Not for most. You can fly, I can extend my hammer, and Leenalee can use her dark boots. Why?"
"I like being up high."
"Oh. You wanna get something to eat?"
Ok, I'm aware that this is unrealistic, but it's a fanfic from my somewhat *cough*very*cough* twisted mind XD. The next chapter's one of my favorites so I'm going to post it XD. Quick question, would you guys (or girls) prefer it if I post a couple new longer chapters or twice as many but shorter chapters? I'm trying to start updating more -_-"
