Me: I'm so tired, be grateful you complainers!

Friend: *Sigh~*

~William~

I breathed out as I started to relax a bit in my cell. Just a bit. I knew that they probably wouldn't come for me until sunrise but I really didn't want another of the Mayor's 'surprise visits'. I rarely slept anymore then I had to, which let me to being paranoid. I would flinch at every sound and stare at anything that would move.

I once watched a spider start and complete its web without looking away. That was such a tedious experience. This was once such time. Although my muscles were relaxed, my eyes stared at the door. There were voices coming from the other end. There were even some shouts. Whatever the commotion was, it was not welcome.

I stood where I was on full intent to defend myself from whatever was on the other side. There was a loud noise as the door was forced open. A boy came in, with long hair tied in a ponytail and dressed completely in black. I blinked. I had never seen him before, and I knew the village pretty well by now.

"Che'! That stupid Supervisor, sending me back here and then getting ambushed by those stupid villagers. Who do they think they are?" I watched as the boy ranted and shifted what looked like a sword in his hand. I was debating on whether or not to speak up. This was something I wasn't planning on.

Black eyes located mine with a killing intent. "Who are you?" The black-haired teen asked through slightly gritted teeth before unsheathing his sword and pointing it toward me. "One of the villagers?" I grimaced at his words. Yes, I was a villager, but I wasn't part of their sick cult.

I scoffed, "More like a prisoner," I went back to sit down on my stone bench, "And you? Some sort of samurai?" There was sarcasm edged in my voice. I didn't know why I was being so rude. There was just something about him that made me edgy.

I watched his eyebrow twitch before he lowered his sword. "Were you the one screaming all night?" I raised an eyebrow. So someone had heard me? But didn't the entire village know that I was being tortured and that I was a horrible criminal and blah, blah, blah?

"Yeah, that happens when you have a whip to your back." I said before sighing and getting up. I stretched slightly before getting as close to the bars as I could, "Look, I'm sorry. But could you let me out?" I scratched my chin. He probably wasn't going to let me out, but it was worth a shot. The boy took a step forward before taking a look at me.

". . . Bean sprout?" I froze at the word and looked at him as if he were insane. Who the hell calls someone a food? That was just plain rude, not to mention extremely unoriginal.

"I'm not a vegetable. Now if you please, unless that sword is just for show Samurai-wannabe." He seemed to get angry at the statement, which actually worked. He slashed at the bars, breaking them in half, before he broke me out of my chains. I blinked. I really had never expected him to help me. Maybe he was a better person then I thought.

"Thanks . . ." I said as I rubbed the soreness out of my wrists. I felt oddly light after having the chains removed. I grinned at myself. Finally I could get out of here!

"You're coming with me." The man said simply as he started to walk out of the room. I had no complaints. It was the least I could do after he set me free. The only thought in my head at the time was how I was going to see my family again after all these years.

~Angelus~

I walked toward the library in a happy mood now that I had eaten. Allen was on another mission, to my dismay, so I couldn't spend more time with him. Yuu was also on another mission and Lenalee was taking care of Komui, so I found myself spending time with Lavi in the library. He had me correcting him in history, to which he was pretty accurate about, but there were some things that I had witnessed and he wanted to ask me about them. Of course I was happy to help and he seemed eager to learn.

I opened the library door to find a head of red hair resting on the table. Lavi's breathing was steady and I knew that he was sleeping. I smiled to myself at the sleeping child before me. I grabbed his coat that was resting on the chair next to him and placed it on his shoulders. I also pulled his headband off, that couldn't have been comfortable to sleep with.

"Angelus," I turned around to see Reaver looking at me with a stack of books. He said it in a soft voice so that he didn't wake Lavi. "The Chief wants to speak with you." I nodded before following him out of the library and into Komui's office. Lavi needed to sleep anyway.

Komui was drinking from his signature cup of coffee as he looked over a sheet of paper. "Ah, Angelus. Have a seat," I obeyed as I sat on the couch in front of his desk. He stood up from his chair and addressed me ever further, "Are you comfortable here at the Order?" I nodded, unable to see at where he was going at. "I'm going to get straight to the point." I tilted my head in confusion. "A lot of people in the Order would like to know why the Angels aren't doing anything to help us in this war." I closed my eyes. So it was this, huh?

"The Angels were ordered from God himself not to get involved with this war," I sighed and held my hand up as Komui was about to speak, "Please understand; us Angels are naturally soft-hearted. If one of us dies, then we all cry, creating a storm. Now, if many of us were to die, then it would disastrous. Noah's flood was caused by the outbreak of many Angel deaths. Humanity barely survived the first time; we can't let that happen again." Many of the people in the room seemed quite shocked.

"Our power is caused by a strong surge in our emotions. Powerful, yes, but we can barely control it. If these emotions were ever to get out of hand then . . . that angel will fall." I looked down at my hands so that I couldn't see their emotions.

"Fall?" asked Komui, as he intently listened in on my explanation.

"Become a Fallen Angel. Lucifer was the first one to fall. No one is sure why, but his emotions went out of control, driving him mad." I rubbed my temples, a Fallen Angel was dangerous, "There are only three ways for an Angel to fall. Emotions are a common one, but it's easy to calm an angel down and it depends on the emotion. A Fallen Angel goes insane with power and becomes the opposite of what they were created to be."

There was a silence that followed my speech. I shrunk under Komui's worried stare. I could guess what he was thinking. I didn't like it, but it was a possibility. I could become a Fallen Angel, but I knew that my emotions were in check. I heard that it was painful when our powers went out of hand.

"Well then, that's all I have to ask for today," Komui said, trying to keep his voice level, but there was a slight change in pitch at the end. "We'll continue this tomorrow, if that's—" He was cut off as there was an explosion in the distance. I looked up in curiosity but Komui seemed to be really panicked. "Get Lavi up! Get the finders and science department to safety! Get every Exorcist you can back here!" There was a large explosion again, only this time it was closer. I started to get scared at what was going on.

"SUPERVISOR!" yelled someone as they ran into his office, "The Noah are attacking!" I froze. Noah?

"Get the Exorcists here; we're getting everyone to safety as quickly as possible!" I watched as everyone ran one way or the other in order to get organized. This was bad; they weren't going to get done in time. Also, it was the Noah. I could guess why they were here. I made a quick decision and ran out the doors. "ANGELUS!" Komui screamed my name but I didn't pay any attention to him. I needed to get to where the Noah were.

I followed the sound of the explosion and went through the walls to get there. They were attacking near the cafeteria. I silently prayed that everyone would be alright. My bare feet made light sounds against the marble as I ran. What could I do? I needed to stall them enough at least. I almost cried at the thought of the children who were forced to fight against the Noah.

"Well, well, well, another Exorcist?" said a voice in my ear. I stopped and whipped around to see a Noah behind me. He thought I was an Exorcist? Well, that would work out for me. There was a creepy grin spreading across his face, "You look like that boy; are you related?" Boy? I could only guess that he meant Allen.

I shivered as he stared at me. A Noah. I wasn't strong enough to fight a Noah. I could at least stall him. "How do you know Allen?" I asked stepping back a few, trying to get some distance.

His grin widened even further, "Oh? So you are related? A sister maybe?" I swallowed before looking around for anymore Noah. I knew which one this was. The Noah of Desire. I bit my lip as I stared him down.

"Not quite . . ." I said, not really wanting to give away that I was an Angel.

"Hey~ Tyki~! What did you find~?" I watched as the Millennium Earl appeared behind the Noah of Desire. "Hmm~?" He looked at me in confusion with a sugary-tone voice. "Oh ho ho, what do we have here?" I swallowed as he glared at me over his grin. "An angel is it?" I knew then that I probably wouldn't survive.

~Allen~

I approached the Black Order with the Finder that had helped me on my mission. I felt pretty good. I liked going on solo missions, they were a lot easier to deal with. Suddenly, the Finder stopped. I looked at him as he stared at the Black Order headquarters. I followed his gaze to see smoke rising from the top. He was about to run until I grabbed his shoulder, "No time!" I said, activating the Ark.

I went in with the Finder behind me as I went to the door that led to the Black Order. I knew I was probably going to be chewed out for activating the Ark without permission, but this was an emergency situation.

Me: AAAAAAAAAAAND~! I'm going to have so much fun writing the next chapter . . .

Friend: Nobody cares . . . .

Me: Aw, that sucks, then the chapter can come later then expected~

Friend: . . . sorry . . .
