"Watanuki, we should hang out with Allen, Kanda, Lavi, and Lenalee sometime soon!" Himawari smiled.
Himawari's words echoed in Watanuki's mind. He, Himawari, Domeki, Mokona, Yuko, and the four exorcists were having fun and went out for a night on the town. They were now sitting in a restaurant. Yuko was already drunk. Even worse, Lavi was trying to hit on Himawari.
"I'm sorry Lavi. But I don't feel that way about you." Himawari turned down Lavi's offer to go out on a date.
"S'okay! I've got Tykki!" Lavi smiled.
"Then why are you hitting on her!?!?!? And who's Tykki!?!?!?!" Watanuki yelled across the table.
"I was hitting on her?" Clearly the red-head was drunk as well. After an hour of more insanity, they finally left. It was late at night and there was barely any sign of life. Suddenly, Allen's left eye reacted. He covered it up quickly before anyone other than an exorcist could see.
"Allen? Are you okay?" Himawari asked. She cared about everybody.
"Y-yes." Allen lied. This didn't fly by Kanda who noticed that it was his left eye that he was covering.
"Don't tell me that there's an Akuma nearby." She sighed.
"Yeah. But it's just a level 2." Allen replied.
"Alright. Where is it?"
"Behind us." Out of nowhere, an Akuma appeared. Luckily, Allen quickly activated his Crown Clown and deflected the attack. It had a menacing appearance. It looked like a mechanical grim reaper. A scythe and as skull for a head and all.
"Kanda! Lenalee! Lavi! You guys get the others to safety I'll destroy the Akuma!" Allen yelled. They did exactly as they were told and fled. All except for Kanda.
"I'm going to help the Moyashi." She said and joined the fight. Lenalee and Lavi quickly took the others to a safe location.
"What was that?" Watanuki asked. He was trying to calm down a hysteric Himawari, who was shaking from fear.
"That was an Akuma." Lavi replied.
"What!?! THAT'S an Akuma!"
"Well, not all of them look like that."
"Tell me. What exactly is an Akuma." Domeki asked.
"An Akuma is created when someone tries to call a person back from the dead. But the Millennium Earl turns them into an Akuma instead. They wear a human skin so no one can tell what they are. But Allen can see the souls of the Akuma with his left eye." Lavi explained.
"But what did he mean by 'level 2'?" Watanuki asked.
"The more it kills, the more powerful it becomes. When that happens it will evolve from a level 1 to a level2, then a level 3, and so on."
"I see."
"We're done!" Allen cheered and skipped back to the group. His innocence was still activated. Kanda was currently putting Mugen away.
"Allen! What's up with your arm!?!?" Himawari pointed to Allen's clawed left hand.
"Oh. This? It's my anti-Akuma weapon. I have a parasitic innocence." Allen deactivated the Crown Clown.
"Innocence?"
"Yeah. It's the only substance that can destroy an Akuma and save its human soul. Innocence can come in multiple forms. Kanda's sword and Lavi's hammer are equipment types. Lenalee's boots are a crystal-type." He explained.
"Wow. Cool."
"Let's head home now."
"Yuko. How much longer until the ark opens up again?" Allen asked the next day at the shop.
"Funny you should ask." Yuko smiled. "Tomorrow."
"TOMORROW!!!!!?!!!" Everybody yelled.
"Is it true?" Kanda asked. Today, she was wearing lacey blue and black gothic Lolita dress. The day before, a school swimsuit, and the day before that, Yuko made her cosplay as Blair from Soul Eater.
"Such a shame too. I was beginning to have some fun." Yuko pouted.
"Yuko-chan! I'll miss you too!" Lenalee cried.
Once again, it was time to leave. Over the course of the week, separate worlds had come together. Finally, the ark had reopened.
"Good bye!" The exorcists called.
"Good bye!" Yuko, Watanuki, Maru, Moro, and Mokona called back.
Believe it or not, Watanuki had gained something from their short visit. He realized what happens if you lose yourself in grief. What happens when the darkness in your heart grows strong and takes over. Make sure that never happens to you.
