Chapter 7

The red haired female was clinging to rope while looking out at the open colorful sky; she had seen something sparkle but wasn't really sure of what was happening right now and hoped that Jane would appear soon to give her some information.

"Lavi!" A female's voice cried out.

"Huh? Lenalee?"

"Help me! Please!" The girl begged.

"What's wrong?" Lavi asked landing next to the distressed girl.

"I can't find Allen! I'll explain what happened while we search okay?"

"Of course, let's go." Lavi commented as she used her hammer to fly up into the air and take off.

Once the younger female had explained everything, which even surprised Lavi at the story, the Bookman Apprentice began trying to convince Lenalee to split up.

"We'll find them Lenalee, but it would be easier if we split up, I'm sorry I know you're tired…"

"It's okay Lavi, we have to find them! Allen and Suman need help." Lenalee said with a smile as she flew into the air and went in a different direction.

Once the female had left the Bookman Apprentice tore off her eye-patch to let her golden eye find Jane, if she found Jane, she'll find Allen that was a fact as Jane took off to watch them and the Fallen One.

"Found her…" Lavi smiled as she took off towards her Noah half, who was closing in on Allen. "Jane!" The green eyed female called once she could see the brown haired female who had stopped and looked at her.

"Lavi, you shouldn't be here."

"Why? I'm trying to find Allen!"

"It seems a Noah found him first…" Jane said coldly and began to run towards Allen whereabouts with Lavi running behind her holding onto a now smaller Nyoibou.

"A Noah? Who is it?"

"I think its Tyki." Jane admitted reluctantly.

"We need to hurry…" Lavi said softly as she sped up knowing that the older male has been killing Exorcists a lot more lately.

Once they neared the area Jane shouted, her voice echoing a name.

"Tyki Mikk!"

The brown haired female first appeared through the bushes and into the clearing to see the Noah throwing some cards over a body, she noticed the white hair and was shocked to find Allen lying there limply, her golden eyes narrowed and glared at the black haired Noah.

"What did you do?"

"A Tease ate his heart, killing him." Tyki purred, though the purr didn't affect Jane as she could see his crooked grin.

"What?" Lavi asked as she appeared beside Jane, shocked as she turned to stare at Allen in horror at her friend's death. "It can't be…"

"Sorry dear Lavi, but it's true." The black haired male said in a soothing tone to try and calm her down. "It had to be done; he was on The Earl's list."

"…list?" The red haired female asked softly, trying to keep the emotion out of her voice and trying to not attack Tyki in blind rage unlike Jane who was seething beside her, for an ice-user she had the worst temper sometimes, however Lavi wasn't too sure why Jane was angry at an Exorcist's death.

"Yes, little sister, I've been given a task to kill certain people linked to something big, Allen Walker was such a person."

The Bookman Apprentice was getting pissed off, her grip tightened on Nyoibou and this made Tyki smile sadly.

"Don't try and fight me dear, I'd rather not harm you."

"Shut up! I should kill you right now!" Lavi snarled angrily.

"Is he really dead?" Jane hissed.

"I told you he is, I had a Tease eat his heart." Tyki lied, he didn't want the two girls to try and rush him to safety and to try and save his life, so he was telling both girls that Allen was already lost to the world.

Both golden eyes and green eye locked together in understanding; Tyki Mikk needed to be hurt.

"I'm going to leave now, don't be upset by this little sister, it's not good for your health." The male Noah commented as he began walked away but had to then dodge a hammer and a sword.

"Like hell I wouldn't be upset!" Lavi hissed as Tyki yet again blocked her Innocence and dodged a sword aimed at his head. "And stop calling me 'sister'!"

A fog slowly started to appear blinding everyone, the Noah of Pleasure raised an eyebrow but then disappeared into the ground, grabbed Lavi from behind and covered her mouth and then disappeared into the forest a little more with Jane following as he had grabbed her arm to drag her away into hiding. All three Noah froze as they heard footsteps coming closer and a curse escape from a girl's lips, while that happened Lavi was trying to get the hand off her mouth while Jane watched from the tall bushes they were kneeling behind.

"That's why you dragged us over here…" Jane commented quietly.

"Of course, could be one of your friends however." Tyki replied during the time he was restraining the female Exorcist's arms and hugging her tightly to his chest while also making her comfortable.

"My friends? You do know who I am right?" Jane glanced at him.

The male Noah however was starting to think Jane was beginning to form relationships with some of the Exorcists otherwise she wouldn't have fought beside Yuu Kanda and would have told him to back off when they attacked Tyki though he didn't comment on that right away as his attention was directed to Lavi making him press his lips to her ear and began to whisper softly in it as she looked like she was about to try something.

"Do not try and lick my hand this time otherwise you'll have a wet glove sticking to your face and that wouldn't feel nice now would it?" He said in a knowing tone which made her glare at him for ruining her little scheme. "Don't give me that look love, it doesn't suit you."

Jane ignored the two and watched as the orange haired female carried Allen away after tripping up and managing to figure out what he was, the fog seemed to follow the girl and Allen as she took him away luckily as the fog really was starting to piss Jane off. The golden eyed female noticed that Lavi winced when the other girl mention that it was too late for Allen, Tyki also felt that wince and rubbed her arms soothingly to calm his younger sister before she tried to attack him again. The multi-coloured eyed female tugged at her arms trying to gain freedom so she could at least hit him with her hammer but he just tightened his grip.

"Shhh, try to relax Lavi. It wouldn't do you any good getting yourself worked up about a death of an Exorcist, you didn't cry when that Finder died after all." He tried to sooth while still rubbing her arms and covering her mouth in case the girl that took Allen was still nearby.

He felt Lavi tense against him at the mention of her old friend but then started relaxing a little, being pressed against Tyki was making her warm and comfortable and she was still a little dazed from her wounds inflicted by the Akuma attack on the ship. Jane didn't interrupt feeling that keeping Lavi calm was best now that she was thinking clearly again; once the person who took Allen was long gone Tyki released his hold on Lavi's mouth to now let her speak if she wanted to.

"Damn it all…" The youngest female cursed.

"Now, now Lavi, young ladies shouldn't speak like that." The male Noah teased making her squirm against him in annoyance.

"Let go of me already!"

"Will you attack me?" Tyki asked seriously.

"I might depending on how quickly you let go." The restrained female snapped, she was feeling rather irritated even in her dazed state.

The golden eyed female gently pushed a hand towards the blood that managed to escape from under Lavi's bandana from the newly formed cuts on her head instead of her Noah signs. Jane then after finishing inspecting those cuts looked over the other cuts and bruises on Lavi's body even going as far to force off her jacket with Tyki sitting behind her.

"Y'know if you really want to strip Lavi I could help." The male said cheekily earning a smack to the head dislodging his hat again.

"I'm just checking her wounds idiot."

"Yes, yes I know, I'm no fool."

"That's one subject that someone could make a very good argument on." The long haired female commented calmly while pulling Lavi's top up to check her stomach which had a few bruises, Lavi however to both male and female's surprise next to her let out a girly squeak and began kicking at her Noah side which made Jane move back a little still shocked by the squeal her host released.

"Get lost Jane! Stop pulling off my clothes!"

"That was cute…" Tyki mumbled softly with a bright smile on his face making the red haired female blush and start squirming even harder than before.

"I hate you all! Let me go!"

"Relax, I'm just making sure those stupid Akuma didn't hurt you too much, since you never let me check properly I've decided to do it while you have been restrained." Jane said calmly to hopefully pull Lavi into a calmer state of mind instead of kicking up a fuss like she usually does.

"It's for your own good sweetheart." Tyki hummed pleasantly.

"You just want Jane to strip me!"

Once the older female had stopped scanning over her host Lavi was allowed to be free, the green eyed girl slipped on her eye-patch and stretched her body. When she turned away Tyki had disappeared into the ground while Jane was moving back into the clearing, Lavi followed behind and heard footsteps again coming towards them.

"L-Lavi? You found Allen?" Lenalee asked in surprise, though she sounded exhausted and in pain.

A certain golden golem fluttered next to her whom she had saved from a large group of Akuma when trying to find Allen and Suman, she was then shown what had happened to Allen making her heartbroken. The white haired male was now gone and she didn't know why.

"No…I only arrived just a few minutes ago, Allen's gone Lenalee…he isn't here…"

The girl began sobbing bitterly but refused to let her tears fall; instead she stared at the green eyed female before her.

"Lavi, h-how did you find th-this place?"

"I had found Jane and she brought me here." Lavi said in a soothing tone.

The purple eyed girl's eyed narrowed as she slapped Jane's cheek shocking everyone including herself.

"Why? Why didn't you help Allen! Why did you let a Noah attack him? You're sick! Lavi's an Exorcist! Why wouldn't you help another Exorcist! You laughed as Allen died didn't you? You Noah are monsters!" Lenalee screamed.

The golden eyed female raised a hand to her face; her golden eyes were wide in shock as the pain now numbing her face. Her hand shook as it reached up to cover her eyes as to not see the purple eyed girl anymore. Jane's body had started shaking as a grin appeared on her face. Lavi was shocked into silence by Lenalee slapping her Noah side and now she knew Jane was trying to control her own temper.

"Foolish Exorcist, I could kill you, no I will kill you." The older female snarled and grabbed Lenalee's neck choking her, ice was starting to form in her hand into a large knife which was now pressed over Lenalee's heart. "You slapped me! You little brat! You have no idea who you are dealing with do you? A General was killed by a Noah and you still dare attack us? I may only be at half my power by it's still enough to kill a child like you!"

Just when the knife was about to stab into the girl's heart a hand reached out and gripped the knife, a cut easily formed and blood quickly oozed out of the wound. The grey skinned female turned to look at who was holding the knife so tightly, it was her host that had just spared the Exorcist's life.

"Lavi." Jane growled out, her eyes narrowing as she stared darkly at the Bookman Apprentice.

"Jane. Let Lenalee go." Lavi ordered calmly, though the Noah side of the red haired female felt the bitter cold in the younger female's voice.

"You don't order me around my dear child. I want to kill this Exorcist." Jane said darkly, her eyes cold and her lips forming into a sadistic grin. "She even gave me a cut… I can feel that clearly, I shouldn't be allowed to bleed."

Lavi's grip tightened on the ices, more blood came out but she didn't care, this was for Lenalee after all, who cares if her hand was harmed, as long as her younger friend lived.

"No."

"…Fine…" Jane decided, she threw Lenalee onto the ground and let the ice melt back into her skin, then started heading back towards the boat. "Be quick to catch up Exorcists."

On the ship heading towards Japan a green eyed girl sat on the banister of the boat, her knees tucked under her chin and her arms wrapped around her knees. The green eyed shown was dulled as she was deeply in thought. Lavi was a little uncomfortable as she had recently had a scolding from her Master when she started shouting at Lenalee for being so depressed but Lavi just hated seeing the green haired girl act like that, it hurt, badly. The red haired female heard a few movements with a soft groan from below her making her look down to find her Noah side in a deep sleep while leaning against the banister of the boat as well, Lavi turned around so her feet and legs hung towards the water while she rested her head on her arms watching the older female rest.

"I wonder what she's dreaming about." The red haired female said with a smile.

Jane's P.O.V

"I'm sorry that she is lost." A female's voice rang out.

"You have my sincere apologies my lady." An old man's voice spoke.

"I hope she reaches Heaven." Another woman's voice called out.

What the hell were these fools talking about? They're so noisy, why can't I sleep in peace for once? To my irritation they voices continued with softly spoken words and of their sorrow's so I just decided to wake up and see what was going on. I regretted it immediately.

I opened my eyes to find myself in a Church, people sitting in rows of chairs, wearing black, looking depressed, I also noted that I could hardly move, well my bottom half couldn't move. When I reached a hand out it was stopped by glass surprising me completely then to my utter horror I felt padding covering my back of my body and wood surrounding me. No, this can't be happening!

"Let me out!" I screamed in panic, but nobody noticed.

I desperately looked around and found The Earl in human form holding a bible and dressed as a Minister looking towards me.

"Earl? What's going on? Let me go!" I felt even more panic flow freely through me no matter how hard I tried to restrain it as The Earl muttered a few words about hoping I will be sent to Heaven and live in peace with the rest of my death shocking me.

I then watched as the fat git walked towards a woman sitting at the front of the row by herself, short red hair covered her face as it was lowered, a black dress covered her body, once she looked up however I noticed a green and golden eye staring at me making me scream at her.

"Lavi! Get me out of here! Please! Lavi this isn't funny anymore!" I screamed desperately, this box was suffocating me, restraining me, I could hardly move and it only felt like the walls were closing in.

Once the fat git had finished comforting Lavi he said a few words, I then realised this was a funeral, my funeral. I'm not dead you know! What is going on for God's sake? Then four men walked forward, Tyki Mikk, his brother, Sheryl Camelot, Yuu Kanda and Allen Walker picked up the case and began the march outside, all I could see was the blue sky while I struggle against the door of the box, the blue sky was like the light I couldn't reach, the damn sky was even making me jealous now! The box I was locked in was lowered, and this was making me breath heavily and slam against the door even more. Please just let me go, oh someone please just help me. I don't care who just anyone! I wouldn't even mind Pleasure helping me now! Different people began lowering flowers on to the box, Rhode, Jasdebi, Skin of all people, Lulubell, Krory, Miranda, Komui, Lenalee, I screamed at every one of them to do something, to let me free, but no one even noticed. To my utter horror however my damned Innocence laid a flower on the box, my body was mixed with different emotions and after seeing the one person I trusted most turn away from me while I was screaming for help and facing one of my biggest fears just broke something inside me, hot tears gathered around my eyes and slowly trailed down my cheeks. I hissed as they appeared, I felt so humiliated, but this box, it was becoming smaller, even smaller, I couldn't move, all I could do was cry and scream for help, my hands hitting the glass was the only thing that would work and even then I couldn't be free, I couldn't be free why oh why? I cried even more when Lavi, my host, gently placed a flower on the damnable box and walk away from me. The three dark heads and one light haired male then worst of all started lowering the box and now they were, oh god, no they were completely trapping me! They're burying me alive! No! No, they can't do this, why is this happening? I'm going to die trapped in such a small space. Bile was rising up my throat and it took all my self restraint not to throw up, now everything was dark and I couldn't hear anything apart from my sobs and gasps of fear.

"Jane! What's wrong?" A female's voice rang out to me.

Of course there was something wrong! I'm about to die in here! Oh god, I don't want to die, I don't want to die in here of all places.

"Wake up!"

Wake up? This is a dream? Or I'm I only just wishing for that so much that I'm dreaming of it?

"WAKE UP!"

Normal P.O.V.

Blue eyes shot open to meet another set of eyes, a beautiful green eye and a deadly golden eye, both filled with concern. Jane sat up properly then stood and sat on the banister while Lavi stood facing her.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm okay! Fool!" The Noah side said but with a sniff as she noticed her nose was runny and her eyes had watered up making her curse earning a chuckle from Lavi, however the thing that surprised her was that the red haired female wrapped her arms around Jane and had her head placed on Jane's shoulder.

"You need to show yourself more, and not try to cover yourself up with anger and emptiness." Lavi whispered into the brown haired female's ear.

"And you need to put on your eye-patch, you're acting more Noah than usual." Jane spoke in an unamused tone.

"You had a nightmare."

"…I know…"

"It's not healthy keeping your feelings bottled up." Lavi smiled earning a scoff from her Noah side.

"This coming from a member of the Bookman Clan."

"Yes, but I'm not saying this as a Bookman, I'm saying this as Lavi."

There was silence after that reply, both eyes avoided each over as the Bookman Apprentice pulled away and sat herself beside the blue eyed female. Jane cleared her throat and then with a sigh began to speak.

"I have a terrible fear of small spaces." She stated making Lavi jump in surprise at the sudden noise. "That was mostly what my nightmare was about. It was my funeral, I was trapped in a box, alive, but no one could hear me, when you, Nyoibou, Tyki, Rhode and so many other people appeared I begged for help, but no one listened, that blasted Innocence of all things didn't even listen, the person I've been stuck with for centuries didn't hear me, then the damned box started shrinking as Allen, Kanda, Tyki and Sheryl lowered it and began to cover the box with mud again burying me completely, it was dark, I could hardly breath, I could only move my hands, all I could do was cry and try to breath. I was too horrified to calm down, and then you woke me up."

"I never knew that was one of your fears. I'm sorry you went through it, and I'll always come to help you, no matter what." Lavi promised, holding one of her Noah's hands and squeezing it reassuringly, this brought a smile to Jane's face instead of a smirk which was usually there.

"I'm supposed to be saying that to you Exorcist, I'm supposed to protect you as my host." The long brown hair girl laughed.

"Then we can protect each other." Lavi grinned as she slipped on her eye-patch.

What the Exorcist and Noah didn't notice was a tall Akuma behind them, which Miranda Lotto managed to sense and scream that they were under attack. When the three adults, Krory, Bookman and Miranda, reached the deck they saw a large hammer landing on the Akuma while the female holding the hammer was knelling down and being surrounded by time energy behind her Jane was sitting up, however both looked over to the Akuma when it began speaking.

"Title: How did you recover?"

"A Level Three." Jane said in shock.

'He recovered so quickly, damn it.' Lavi cursed in her head.

'Lavi watch it!' Nyoibou warned.

It was too late however as the Akuma blasted the hammer away throwing both in different directions, Lavi landed on the cloth being held up by the mast while Nyoibou landed on the boat in it's smaller form.

"Lavi!" Jane screamed, starting to get up as the Akuma appeared in front of the younger girl.

"Title: Head Smash." The Akuma said smugly as it's fist aimed for Lavi's head who watched in horror as she was stuck.

"LAVI!" Mahoja screamed.
