Chapter 4
"I hate you all!" A female's voice screamed, the blond female was waving her arms in the air screaming her head off while dangerous Akuma were floating around.
The Innocence of the young Bookman Apprentice was having a fit over the monsters attacking the town, meanwhile her owner Lavi was screaming at her to change into her weapon form with a Noah sitting idly behind them inspecting her fingers. The red haired female whirled around to face Jane with a glare, who in return raised an eyebrow at the younger female.
"What?"
"Could you be helpful and clean these guys up before they try and use me for target practice again?"
"Why not get the brat to help you?" The golden eyed female said while glancing at the, in her view, cursed piece of crap.
"Nyoibou isn't listening to me…I don't think she can hear me thanks to her own screaming…" Lavi sighed.
"Heh, being ignored by Innocence, how insulting…"
"Jane, just help me!"
"Exorcists… so weak without their weapon." The Noah side smirked as she stood up and waved her hand, blocks of ice surrounded the growing number of Akuma, she then clicked her fingers and they all shattered into tiny little pieces. "This is why the Noah shall win this war."
"By crushing their own pets?" The Bookman Apprentice smirked crossing her arms.
"…I wasn't meaning that part…" Jane sighed.
"Sorry, it's not like I can read your mind." Lavi shrugged.
The Noah half was becoming irritant, she was still angry at the Noah of Pleasure, a headache was growing because of all the loud crashes and the little piece of Innocence in her 'Master's' possession was not helping her sore head by screaming. The brown haired female marched up to the Innocence and punched her in the back of the head making the light matter weapon crash onto the ground face first.
"Why can't I break you? You're the one holding the Exorcist side of Lavi! You're the only reason Lavi can actually be an Exorcist! If you were destroyed then she could never be an Exorcist and wouldn't be able to fight for them! Bah you're so annoying!" Jane complained adding a painful kick to the blond female's side them moving towards the crates that she had been sitting on earlier getting back onto them.
"You okay?" The Bookman Apprentice asked nervously while helping her weapon up who was whimpering.
"Why me? I've always been good to her! Stupid Noah! You're all evil, bad Noah Clan! So dark…" Nyoibou hissed rubbing her face gently.
"You both really dislike each over sometimes…"
"No! We're friends! We always have been even when we were with your mum! We love each over like sisters! Isn't that right Jane?"
"I think I've been hitting you too hard…" The Noah half muttered sparing a glance at the other two females.
"Why's that?" Nyoibou asked innocently.
"We've never had that relationship, I hate you, I will never like you Innocence." Jane lied with a snarl.
"It's not nice to lie Jane!" The Innocence snapped in reply, fed up of the Noah's attitude.
"I'm not lying brat!"
"Uhh guys…" The red haired female tried to butt in.
"No Lavi! Jane needs to know that she has friends who care about her! You can't always act like this, you're not like the other Noah! You'd disappear if Lavi accepted her Noah side like I'd always stay in weapon form if she accepted only the Exorcists, but she's went with the Bookman Clan and now we're all split!" Nyoibou snarled.
"You two-"
"You little brat! How dare you talk to me like that! Lavi deserves to be with the Noah and only them! She has no future with the Exorcists, only chains and death await her there!" The golden eyed female hissed at the brown eyed.
"Are you both done fighting?" A male's voice rang out throughout the alley.
The two arguing females turned to their right to find a tall red haired male wearing half a mask, smoking a cigarette and staring at them with reddish coloured eyes. Lavi had already noticed the older male there and had been trying to tell them but unfortunately that didn't turn out well since she was ignored.
"Cross!" The Innocence gasped.
"You both seem to argue quite a lot." The General commented walking towards them then turned towards the short red haired female. "So how have you been feeling?
"Wait, you know about us?" The brown eyed female questioned.
"You idiot, Bookman told him years ago!" Jane growled out, fed up with the blond female.
"Oh…"
"I'm fine." Lavi responded to the long haired male.
"I doubt it; you're sensing those Noah aren't you? Your head must be pounding now, and your eye must be going crazy." The two Innocence user commented nodding towards her eye-patch.
"The Noah are a little annoying, Pleasure, Dreams and Bonds are supposedly here."
"I know, you need to be very careful." Cross commented.
"I've already ran into Tyki, he appeared in my room last night." Lavi replied.
"They already know you're here? Then again some Akuma would have informed them…"
"Yep, I'm going to be stalked by Noah, how fun is that?" The green eyed female asked sarcastically.
"You might lose control over your Noah side." The red eyed male commented with a glance at Jane who ignored it.
"I believe we can take care of ourselves General." Jane snarled.
"My friend you could never control yourself." Cross replied sharply making the female huff.
"You'll never let that go will you?" Jane muttered the question with a blush.
"Well you were feisty, like to play it rough."
"Eh? What are you both talking about?" Lavi asked blinking stupidly at the Noah side and the General.
"Uhh Lavi you shouldn't ask that-" The Innocence tried to butt in but Cross answered first.
"She and I got drunk, we had sex."
"You and Jane? You do know what age I am right?" The female Bookman Apprentice asked slowly.
"No worries, it was when we were with your mum." Nyoibou carried on cheerfully.
"Uhh Innocence…" Jane tried to stop her but it was already too late.
The green eyed female stared at Cross for a few moments then back at Jane then back between them again.
"For the love of god…DON'T TELL ME HE'S MY FATHER!" The red haired female panicked and shouted.
"Of course he is!" Jane smirked.
"NO! MY INNOCENCE!"
"I'm still here Lavi, but really-" The Hammer Innocence tried to step in but Lavi already was running down the alley in a panic.
"I DUN WANNA BE RELATED TO HIM OF ALL PEOPLE!"
"I'm not that bad…" Marian muttered irritably.
"I was joking…" Jane muttered. "Oh she's going to be freaking out for ages…"
"It's your fault…" The Innocence glared but then paused. "Uhh she just ran away without any protection from the Akuma or the Noah… LAVI!" The blond screamed chasing after the red head.
"The one time, one time I do a joke and she takes it seriously…" The golden eyed female sighed before walking after her other half and it's Innocence.
"Some people are touchy…" Cross sighed before aiming and firing his words at Jane. "Remember to tell Lavi that it's time to go back to the Hotel!"
"Of course idiot!" The female snapped in reply before disappearing.
This pain. This pain has been here more than once. The burning fire was felt, was creeping throughout the body, tearing everything in it's path. The dulling green eye that felt the fire was trying to fight against the heat.
"-vi! -avi! Lavi!" The owner of the green eye heard, she felt a shake to her shoulder, her entire body was going numb. "What's wrong? Please speak Lavi!"
A sudden gasp came from a red haired female's throat; Lavi had felt that burning pain again, like she did in the same week. The female when woken up had arched her back from the pain running in her body, surprising her companion, the one trying to wake her.
"Nyoibou?" The Exorcist asked softly.
"Thank God! I thought something happened to you!" The Innocence cried out.
"'Something' did happen…"
"It appears I have some explaining to do…" A calm voice rang out, that same voice was also choked up with pain.
"Jane?" Nyoibou asked turning around while also pulling Lavi up who found herself to be sitting on the ground.
"What… just happened?" The Bookman Apprentice asked, holding her chest where the burning had been most painful.
"I'm sorry… I never looked at the history of this town, they seem to have a statue that grants people's wishes, and the weird part is that the wishes come true! Someone wished me bound, and so here I am, collared, to be harmed like I harmed their village."
"Serves you right." Nyoibou hissed out.
"Cold Innocence, I thought you were a weapon of God?" The Noah smirked but then frowned. "Anyway, even if you think it serves me right it doesn't do her any good." Jane added while nodding towards Lavi.
"It was supposed to be for you though, right?" The blond female asked.
"Yes, but Lavi and I are bound together, she feels my pain while I feel hers, she's going through this just as I am."
"Wait… that hasn't happened in years though! You and I haven't had that mental bond for many years!" The holder of Lavi's 'Exorcist' half gasped out.
"We bonded with Lavi rather well this time…" Jane murmured.
"Wait, what do you both mean?"
"Well Lavi, as the Noah of Faith the host has three sides, the host's original self, meaning your Bookman half, that was when we passed onto you after all, your Noah half, meaning Jane, and me! The half that holds your Exorcist. If Jane dies, you will never be a Noah, if I die, you can't be an Exorcist… and if you die…" Nyoibou muttered the last part out, not wanting to finish.
"What happens to the both of you if I die?" The Bookman Apprentice asks, she was finding this rather interesting for her records.
"We all die." Jane finished off coldly.
"Wow…That's rather nasty."
"The Noah of Faith passes through the Host's children, that was why we came to you, we first started off with your Great-Great-Grandmother." Jane explained.
"Who were you with before that?" The Exorcist asked.
"With a completely different bloodline, but the person didn't have any children, and since we go for the first child, or the female child if we can, then we have to find a new bloodline suitable for us, but it takes a very long time for that to happen…" The golden eyed female sighed. "That makes the Noah Clan quite protective over the Child of Faith, if you die without any children, we won't appear for a very long time, we'll just wander aimlessly in the dark."
"I never knew that Jane…"
"I think you're okay with that knowledge for now Bookman Apprentice." The Noah half smirked, crossing her arms. "Does that satisfy your curiosity?"
"Yeah, it was rather interesting to hear about the Noah of Faith, it's not everyday I find out about the Noah since I can't gain the memories of Faith."
"You have to completely bind with me and cast off that Exorcist side of yours!"
"Yeah but since us Exorcists are so much better than you stinky Noah she'll never choose you!" The Innocence grinned sticking her tongue out at Jane earning a good scowl from the said female. "Eep, scary~"
"Oh yeah…Jane~" Lavi said sweetly, but both the Innocence and Noah could see the dark aura slowly gathering around the Bookman Apprentice. "Really? Of all the people it had to be Cross Marian? I'd rather that Komui was my father than that freak!"
