Warning: Attempted Crack
Note: It's only the third day of school, and already I have tons of readings to do. Not to mention reports... school has never been this draining. TOT! Anyways, putting my rant about school aside, here is chapter 2.
Many thanks to those who wrote me reviews, put this fic on favorite and/or alert.
Allen could not help but let out a chuckle when Lavi fainted when the latter noticed the presence of Neah, and Crown Clown. As sad as that was for his friend, it was quite hilarious. Nevertheless, being a good friend and a gentleman that he is (he has to live up to his image after all), he dragged Lavi's fallen body to his bed.
"You know... He could be our first minion," Neah pointed out with a devious smirk forming at the edge of his lips, and let out a series of not-so-quiet snickers that seemed diabolical. It was somewhat scary to say the least.
"If we are going to do this successfully, Allen dear, as much as it pains me to say this..." Crown Clown trailed off rather dramatically with a frown, and continued, "We should hire someone from the enemy side. That is to say, a Noah other than our Neah here."
"Hey!" the said 14th responded indigently with a scowl marring his expression, and continued with his speech, "I am awesome and powerful enough to be the ONLY Noah that you need!" He then shot heated glares toward the Innocence to even suggest such foul idea.
"Neah dear," Crown Clown started in a sickening sweet tone, and inwardly cringed since he did not want to say the other's name, and then continued whilst he ignored a spiteful glare, "Do remember that you need to keep your friends close, and enemies closer."
"Well, my genius friend, who do you suggest we hire?" Neah responded in the same sickening sweet tone with an expression that crossed between a sneer and a scowl.
Allen sweat dropped at the two's 'discussion', and inwardly noted that he might have a toothache just from listening to Neah and Crown Clown. He then shifted his attention to Lavi, who gave out a soft groan as he slowly sat up while he held his head.
"Allen?" the Bookman apprentice inquired as he tried to remember what happened, and slurred out, "I just had a weird dream that there was a Noah, and Crown Clown became human."
"...Uh, Lavi... it wasn't a dream," the silvery white haired exorcist responded hesitantly and gestured to his right where his uncle and Innocence were still bickering.
"WHAT!" the redhead blurted out with his eyes widen and jaws slacked.
Neah simply ignored Lavi's surprised expression, and let out a calculating grin that startled Crown Clown, "My boy, since you are now a part of our 'team', if you will, how about doing your first mission for us, hmm?" the Noah stated suggestively with a maniacal grin.
Lavi blinked in surprised, immediately racking his brain to remember what 'team' Neah was talking about. "Eh...? ...Oooh! You mean about the world domination thing?" the Bookman apprentice asked in realization, and instantly lowered his voice when he noticed the 14th, and Crown Clown's glares. "What do you want me to do?" he asked in above whisper as if they were talking conspicuously.
"Who are we going to hire?" Neah asked to the Innocence. It seemed as if the two were in a truce for the moment, which was something Allen was grateful for since he could not handle hearing constant bickers.
Crown Clown let out a sly grin at the question, and flicked his long hair over his shoulder. "Lavi dear, I need you to ask... no, demand a certain Tyki Mikk to join our cause. If you fail, you'll be hearing from me, and I assure you, you do not want to anger me," the Innocence responded with an angelic smile that oozed with sadism.
"...Why him? Why me?" Lavi let out a comical sob, and murmured under his breath about how he should have stayed in bed.
"Hey, you chose to join us, so you have to do your share of work," Neah responded with a casual shrug, and added, "Besides, we need someone like Tyki to help us dominate Black Order, and then the world. Although, if you ask me, I'm awesome enough by myself; but I'll be nice and let him bask in my glorious aura."
"Allen-chan, is your uncle always like that?" Lavi chose to question that instead about his mission, and how he would go about meeting the Noah of Pleasure.
The silvery white haired exorcist, on the other hand, let out a defeated sigh and nodded in response. "Unfortunately, yes. But you'll get used to him after a while," Allen remarked with a smirk.
