Chapter 5
Two Days Later
"MASTER IS GONE?" Allen Walker's voice screamed.
"Not again…" Lavi sighed; she had been sitting next to Allen at the table eating breakfast when both were notified by Bookman that the red haired male was missing; now she was resting her head in her arms.
"Yes, Komui had ordered us to search for him as soon as the Noah and Akuma have been cleared out. Komui wants all Exorcists to look for their Generals and take them back to the Order; Kanda will be going after General Tiedoll once this mission if complete while the rest of us go after General Cross while meeting up with Krory." The old Master explained to his apprentice and apprentice of Cross.
"NO! NEVER AGAIN! I HAD TO ENTER A GIRL'S SCHOOL LAST TIME! NO!" Allen screamed, he was already running towards the door but Lenalee and Lavi tackled him before he could escape. "LET ME GO!"
"Allen! I don't think he will try and hit on a Head teacher this time! You won't have to dress up as a girl!" Lenalee explained, pinning the Innocence user's legs down.
"Yeah Moyashi! No dressing up this time!" Lavi grinned, restraining his arms behind his back.
"Stupid Lavi its Allen! And you don't know that! My Master's a demon! A demon!"
"Such a drama queen!" Lavi smirked.
'How would he liked it if he was told Cross was your father?' The female apprentice thought to herself and also heard a snigger inside of her head coming from Jane.
'It was a lie though! Jane was only messing with your head!' Nyoibou tried to reassure.
'But still!'
"Anyway Allen, we won't be after him for a while since we're helping this town."
"Oi, Moyashi, stop acting like a baby." A cold voice came from the stairs.
The white haired Exorcist shook both females off him and turned to glare at Yuu Kanda, who in turn glared back as usual.
"Oi BaKanda, its Allen!"
"Shut it Moyashi!"
"It's Allen! You're too stupid to even remember my name aren't you?"
"I know you're name Moyashi, you're too scared to make proper insults aren't you?"
"Scared? Of who?"
"Of that idiot Master of yours, you're the one trying to run for your life at the mention of his name! Pathetic!"
Dark auras seemed to surrounded both males who were giving each over death glares, meanwhile Lavi was cowering behind Lenalee who just looked fed up. Kicks were delivered to both white and dark haired males making them fall over.
"Stop fighting already! We're supposed to be fighting the Noah not ourselves!" Lenalee scowled both males.
"Sorry Lenalee…" Allen said softly while Kanda scoffed.
"Uhh, I guess I'll be partnering up one of you guys right?" The red haired female asked.
"You will be with Lenalee and I." Bookman informed the younger female. "You will just get yourself killed if you're by yourself."
"Thanks for the confidence Panda…" The female sighed but then received a kick to the head sending her into a wall which she seemed to be rather familiar with.
"Bookman, maybe you should stop kicking her…" Lenalee said softly.
"You're right, that wall might actually break soon, I've been kicking that idiot into it too many times…"
"I meant altogether!" The purple eye female cried out.
"God! You stupid Panda! Are you trying to kill me?"
A sharp kick was received to the head again and this time the wall actually did break surprising everyone.
"AHH LAVI!" Lenalee and Allen cried out, Kanda just twitched.
"Stupid Apprentice! Stop breaking everything!"
"You're the one kicking me through walls you old git!" The green eyed female shouted back, picking herself up in a dazed like manner and rubbing her aching head. "Oh, wow, Lenalee, Allen, two of you both, heh, wow…" Lavi muttered and dizzily went back into the hotel through the hall and went up to her room.
"I think the rabbit needs her head checked…" Kanda muttered.
"L-Lavi… are you okay?" Lenalee asked in surprise.
"I'm fine Lenalee the second, ohh boy Komui's gonna be happy there's two Lenalees now." She said as the young female disappeared into her room locking the door behind her.
A blonde haired female slowly appeared in front of Lavi, concern filled her brown eyes while another figure appeared on the chair nearby the brown eyed female looked bored she her head was cradled by one hand that lend against the armrest.
"You seem to act like a punching bag for everyone, you know that right?" Jane spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Meh, I don't really care at the moment." The female shrugged and moved over to the mirror, she tore off her bandana and found a lot of blood leaking from the cuts around her forehead. "Damn Panda, he made the bleeding worse."
"Stop insulting him then." Jane said coldly.
"I'm behaving myself! Least I don't pull pranks anymore!" Lavi growled out while Nyoibou added in an 'I do~' in a cheerful voice.
"Yes, the Innocence seems to be playing around with others now. I'm surprised she hasn't aimed at the Noah clan members yet."
"They'll break me if they find out it was me." Nyoibou whined softly.
"I wish they would break you already, but you're mine to break." The blue eyed female snarled at the blonde female. "Then Lavi would be kicked out the Order!" Jane said, a small smile edging onto her face while the Bookman Apprentice sighed and starting cleaning up her forehead so the blood was a smaller amount.
Nyoibou was laughing about how annoying Cross Marian was while Jane was trying to ignore her, meanwhile Lavi was cleaning the bleeding head she had, her attention changed however when she heard a yelp come from the shot haired Innocence. The red haired Exorcist spun around to find the blonde haired female backing away form the chair Jane was sitting in, meanwhile the brown haired female was twitching as a young girl had her arms wrapped around Jane's shoulders and head resting on top of the brown hair. The golden eyed girl was smiling, her blueish hair was messy and was tickling Jane's skin, though the Noah half didn't seem to care much.
"Jane! Why don't you let me kill the Innocence? I'll gladly do it." The young girl said sweetly into Jane's ear earning a smirk along with a chuckle.
"As tempting as it sounds that Innocence is mine to destroy, dear Rhode."
The Noah of Dreams frowned.
"We both know you will never destroy that Innocence Jane, she's too precious to you." The golden eyed girl spoke quietly in Jane's ear so only she could hear.
"Shut up… I will do it."
"Don't lie Jane! We love each over! We're practically siblings!" Nyoibou cried out.
"Rhode, why are you here?" Lavi asked, slipping on her headband, interrupting Jane's reply to the Innocence.
A giggle came from Rhode's lips, she leaned away from Jane and walked around her towards Lavi, however Nyoibou moved protectively towards the red haired female.
"Now, now Innocence, don't make me break you." The young female said darkly.
"Don't go near Lavi, I don't trust you Noah." The Innocence snapped in reply.
"Just tell me already!" Lavi demanded.
"Tyki wanted me to tell you that we're about to play rough with you Exorcists, just so you don't get hurt too much, also Lavi, Lord Millennium is now getting serious, the prelude of the script is over, now the real script has begun." Rhode smiled.
"What? Not already…"
"Your little Exorcists will lose."
"I believe in them." Lavi said coldly.
"You are the Noah of Faith after all, well sister, do be careful."
The moment Lavi blinked the Noah of Dreams was gone from the room, Jane had stood up feeling something was off, but quickly turned towards Lavi and screamed.
"GET OUT OF HERE!"
The hotel was engulfed in a flash of light, the place had exploded.
A grunt of pain was heard, as Lenalee Lee opened her eyes, her purple eyes saw a white haired Exorcist standing up slowly, his Innocence turning into a giant claw. Lenalee saw blood trailing down his arm and his head, cuts and bruises covered his body from the falling building that collapsed on them. Across from her she saw Yuu Kanda lying unconscious with a Level 3 Akuma heading towards him.
"An Exorcist, I shall make our Lord happy by destroying him!" The Akuma laughed, aiming his claws at him, however Allen had ran in front of the older Exorcist and began to attack the Level 3.
"I shall cleanse your soul Akuma!"
The green haired female slowly pulled herself to her knees, looking around she saw many corpses who had been in the building with her, this brought tears to her eyes but she managed to hold them back as she wanted to find both Bookman Clan members.
"Lavi…Bookman…where are you?" She murmured weakly, a trail of blood was coming from her head and down her face. The female stood up dizzily and continued her search. "Lavi! Bookman! Please answer me! You have to be alive! Please!" The female Exorcist cried out, she froze however when she turned around to having another Level 3 Akuma standing behind her.
"Another Exorcist! Die!"
Lenalee gasped, she had no time to activate her Innocence, now Allen was alone battling an Akuma as she knew she would probably die now, Lenalee brought her arms up to shield her face at the incoming attack, but, she felt nothing. Purple eyes opened to see the Akuma frozen, the creature wasn't hitting her for some reason.
"M-Mistress Noah?" The Akuma managed to croak out, looking behind Lenalee.
The female turned around to see a brown haired woman, with dark skin and golden eyes, the said female was glaring darkly at the Akuma. Another female was standing beside her; a short blonde hair with two long pieces at the front of her face was holding her fellow Exorcist Lavi, Bookman also stood beside the blonde checking over the red haired female.
"Wh-who?" Lenalee blurted out.
"You've just pissed me off Akuma, you harmed my 'host'."
"M-Mistress! I'm sorry! I-"
"No more excuses! Just hurry up and self destruct." Jane said with a wave of her hand, a bored expression now emerged onto her face.
"Wait no!" The female Exorcist with dark green hair tried to cry out but it was too late, with a scream the Akuma destroyed itself.
"NO!" Allen Walker's voice cried out. "Why? Why did you do that?" He snapped at Jane, standing next to Lenalee now as the Akuma he had been fighting destroyed itself as well.
"You wouldn't have defeated them and I wasn't going to go through the trouble of fighting them off." The long haired female sighed, flicking her hair to the side and placing a hand onto her hip the blonde female beside her gasped.
"They can see us?"
"Of course you stupid Innocence, we both allowed ourselves to become seen so we could protect Lavi and Bookman. Do you not notice these things?"
"Eh? Since when could you allow yourself to be seen?" Nyoibou cried out.
"I always could, Lavi and I just didn't trust you enough to allow you to be seen."
"You're both so mean!"
"Innocence?" The silver eyed male asked.
"What's going on Bookman?" Lenalee asked.
"These two are Noah and Innocence, Jane is the Noah of Faith while Nyoibou is a piece of Innocence." The old man explained.
"Nyoibou? That's Lavi's Innocence!" The purple eyed female gasped.
"Both Jane and Nyoibou are apart of Lavi. My stupid apprentice is the Noah of Faith."
Lenalee looked horrified, she actually took a step back from the red haired female, Allen looked surprised as well.
"S-she's a Noah? Wh-why has she been helping us then? P-please tell me this is a joke!" The female Exorcist cried out, tears were gathering again at her eyes and they started leaking out and trailing down her cheeks. "She's our friend! She can't be with them!"
"I am a Noah Lenalee." Lavi's voice rang out, though it was softly spoken. "But I'm also an Exorcist, and I'm also the Bookman Apprentice." The female said pulling herself away from her Innocence's arms and standing on her own though a little shaky.
"How? I've never heard of a Noah with a piece of Innocence." Allen asked.
"The Noah of Faith is the only Noah who can control a piece of Innocence, that Innocence being Nyoibou." Jane explained in an annoyed tone. "Stupid Exorcists, don't you know anything?"
"It's understandable that they don't know about the Noah of Faith, after all Faith hasn't sided with the Noah clan for over 200 years." Bookman spoke.
"Good point…but do I have to really side with these Exorcists? Stupid Bookman this is all your fault!" The brown haired female snarled.
"How is it?"
"You wanted to record the stupid war! You knew that war would awaken Nyoibou and I from our sleep!"
"You both were dying to get out and about anyway…" Lavi muttered with a hand resting on her hip.
"Don't you start!"
"Don't be mean Jane!" Nyoibou spoke in.
"Shut it Innocence!"
"Are they always like this?" The white haired male asked.
"They are." Bookman replied with a sighed.
"Oh would you both shut up?" Lavi snapped.
"You shut up!" Jane growled out.
"Both of you stop being so mean!"
"So Jane's the Noah of Faith?" Lenalee asked quietly.
"Lavi is the Noah of Faith, but since she has not accepted that birthright the Noah has added another person on to Lavi so the Noah can survive in that body, Jane holds the Noah side of Lavi, Nyoibou is what allows Lavi to be an Exorcist. Lavi herself is a Bookman and that's the role she has chosen. So all three are split from each over unless Lavi decides who she wants to side with."
"For now my Faith is with the Exorcists." The red haired female added in with a shrug. "I have more Faith in you than the Noah Clan so I fight with you willingly."
"Annoyingly enough but don't believe it will be like this forever! Someday I will destroy your precious Innocence and then you'll no longer be an Exorcist!"
"I notice that you don't add in 'and join with the Noah clan'." Nyoibou noted.
"Small steps Innocence, small steps." Jane informed.
"So the Baka Usagi is a Noah, she's still an idiot no matter what so I don't really care." Yuu Kanda's voice spoke out.
"You're alive!" Lavi shouted happily "You're so sweet Yuu!" She then yelped as a blade was pressed against her throat.
"Don't call me that!"
"But Yuu!"
"Die!" Kanda snarled and tried to cut Lavi with the blade, but missed as the rabbit ducked and made a runner.
"AHH DON'T KILL ME!"
"GET BACK HERE RABBIT!"
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!"
"She's still the same, I'm glad; she's still Lavi, my precious friend." Lenalee said with a smile to Allen who was also smiling.
"I'm glad as well."
Meanwhile two figures were standing on the roof of a nearby building; the older male with black curly hair was wearing a sleeved white top with black trousers and was smoking a cigarette looking rather sad while the girl standing next to him was expressionless.
"Looks like the Exorcists accept Lavi as a Noah." Rhode Camelot spoke. "So annoying aren't they Uncle Tyki?" She asked looking up at him, but frowned when there was no response. "Uncle Tyki?"
"…It doesn't matter if they accept her or not, I won't allow her to die because of them, not again…"
"Tyki… that day still haunts you doesn't it?" Rhode asked softly, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"I broke into the Black Order and found her broken body, those lifeless eyes, the cut up pieces of flesh, the chains, the blood, all those years ago, those experiments done to her, and she forgives them? I won't allow that to happen to her again, never again…" The Noah of Pleasure spoke softly, his hand curling into a fist.
"You and Faith have always shared a relationship haven't you?"
"We always seem to find each over no matter what." Tyki sighed. "I don't want to see her hurt again…"
"I know you don't and the rest of us don't either. Especially now that Lavi doesn't have any children to pass the Noah of Faith on to if she dies or her body becomes too weak. Such a horrible child Faith is, her relationship with the 14th was quite strong and that always made you jealous." Rhode giggled.
"Well, it's time to move on isn't it? We've got the Innocence from that statue." Tyki smirked holding the glowing Innocence.
"Yes, now we need to brea-"
"GIVE THAT INNOCENCE TO ME PLEASURE!" A female's voice screamed out, the Noah of Pleasure had to dodge two sharp swords to the face, one from a dark haired male and one from a brown haired female.
"J-Jane!" Rhode squeaked.
"Hm? Oi why are you both attacking me?"
"One I don't like you, and two you've got the Innocence I need from that blasted statue! It's harming Lavi and I you twit!" Jane growled out, pointing her ice sword at the male Noah.
"Che." Kanda responded and started attacking Tyki with Jane joining in.
"Two against one? How is that fair?"
"Oi! What did you do to Lavi anyway Kanda?" Jane asked ignoring the golden eyed male.
"I ate that rabbit." Yuu Kanda said seriously, the Noah of Faith was actually half-convinced that he might have.
"If you really did then cough the idiot back out, I'm not being stuck with that blonde idiot for the rest of my life!"
"Che."
"Speak already you damned Exorcist!" The golden eyed female cursed and then aimed a kick at Kanda's face who managed to grab the Innocence from Tyki. "And give that Innocence to me!"
"She'll experiment on it! Don't give her it Yuu!" Lavi's voice spoke loudly.
"Don't call me that idiot!" Kanda snapped but then was tackled to the ground by Faith who grabbed the Innocence happily.
"Finally!" She spoke but then growled once it disappeared from her hand. "Hey!"
"So childish Jane, you could have just said please." Tyki chuckled then let her kick go through him. "I'll send your regards to the Millennium Earl so don't you worry your pretty head." His hand then began to glow with dark matter and his eyes turned into slits.
"Tyki look out!" Rhode warned.
The male Noah managed to move in time to avoid a kick in the head from Nyoibou, who grabbed the Innocence at the same time and landed on her feet.
"Ha! Don't underestimate me Tyki Mikk!"
"Nyoibou give it to me please." Jane commanded sweetly.
"Oh, okay Jane!" The Innocence replied cheerfully.
"AH NYOIBOU DON'T! Jane's gonna experiment on it for god sake!"
"Oh, then that's a bad idea…I should just EEP!" Nyoibou tripped up because of a pink umbrella which Rhode stuck out, who then picked up the Innocence and sighed.
"Tyki, I can't believe you're losing the Innocence to these guys." She managed to say before it was snatched out of her hand by Lenalee. "What? HEY! STUPID EXORCIST GIVE THAT BACK TO ME!"
"Hell yeah Lenalee!" Lavi cheered.
"Tease, eat-" Tyki nearly managed the command but Kanda attacked him with Mugen. "So bloody fast!" Tyki cursed out dodging and blocking the Exorcist's attacks.
The dark green haired female cradled the Innocence to her chest, relieved that the Noah didn't destroy it.
"Lenalee! Look out Jane's coming!" Nyoibou screamed it was too late however when the long haired female was hit by the sword in her side making her drop the Innocence, then her legs were suddenly covered in ice making her towards the ground.
"LENALEE!" Lavi cried out trying to stand up, but her leg had been harmed by one of the pieces of the roof which had landed on there before Nyoibou dug her out.
The female Exorcist felt two arms catch her before she could hit the ground, purple eyes opened to see the cursed Exorcist holding her gently but firmly in his arms.
"Are you okay Lenalee?" Allen asked softly while breaking the ice with his claw then setting her on her feet.
"I'm fine, but why did Jane attack Kanda and I?"
"She doesn't like Exorcists, the only reason she helps sometimes is because of me." Lavi told them both, as she overheard Lenalee's question.
"She'll attack us anyway?" Allen asked.
"She's a Noah still remember? She hates Innocence even if she can use it." The Bookman Apprentice shrugged.
Both Tyki and Rhode had disappeared now, Kanda and Nyoibou had returned to them but there was no sign of Jane.
"Jane, where did you take that Innocence to?" Nyoibou pondered out loud.
"The Akuma seem to be gone now, so we must find the Generals now." Bookman informed.
"That means I'll be leaving you now." Kanda said while bring out his golem to lead the way to his own group.
"Wait Kanda! Be careful!" Lenalee said.
"Yeah come back safe Yuu!"
"Che stupid Usagi." The male said before disappearing into the shadows.
