Why?

That single word was running through my mind.

Why was I feeling emotions?

Why were they making me feel this way?

Seventeen years of no emotions, why was I feeling them now?

"I blame having disciples." I muttered to myself. I decided then that I didn't need to look for any more accomodaters.

Instantly after I thought that, I felt weird. My entire body felt like it was slowly starting to catch fire and my neck became sore.

"What the hell?" I muttered as I lifted my hand to my neck. I exited the school gates just then, but kept my hand on my neck as I searched around for Akuma.

I blinked in confusion as I spotted an Akuma. It looked like any other messed up soul, but... I couldn't tell which person it was attached to. I was having problems with depth perception, but only with the Akuma. Why?...

I glanced into a store window as I passed it and my eyes widened in shock. My right eye wasn't the bright Innocence green anymore, instead it was a bright sapphire blue.

"What the hell?" I muttered to myself.

My eyes widened when a deadly thought occured to me, and I slowly moved my hand away from my neck. Stitches were appearing.

I froze. I was becoming a fallen one?... Why in the world was I becoming a fallen one?

Just then, Lupus appeared next to me and I quickly tried to cover the stitches. I was too late, he saw them. He looked at me surprised, then got a serious expression and grabbed my wrist and started dragging me along.

"Hey! Where the hell are you taking me?" I yelled at him.

"Why are you becoming a fallen one?" He asked coldly.

I snapped my mouth shut as he led me to the park. When we were in a secluded part of it, he turned to me and asked, "What were you thinking?"

"What?" I asked him.

"Last time I checked, people became fallen ones when their will became to distant from the will of their Innocence. You changed your will somehow! What were you thinking that made it change?" He asked me with a hint of... was that worry I heard?

"I was thinking I didn't need to ruin anyone else's life by dragging them into this war." I hissed at him.

Lupus sighed and covered his eyes with his hand. "You need to change your will back or everyone within a five mile radius is going to die. Including, your disciples." Lupus stated.

"Then give me a good reason to drag people into this heaven and hell war." I said while putting my hands on my hips.

Lupus was silent a moment and it seemed he was deep in thought. "Alright," He said, snapping out of his thoughts, "If you don't find more accomodaters, humanity's defense will be gone and Akuma will kill every last person on earth."

I glared at him, then looked away and muttered, "That's a good reason." I felt the fallen one process slow down, but it was still happening.

Lupus noticed this, so he continued, "It's either everyone's life becomes hell on earth, or a few people that have wills similar to a shard of Innocence. So which is it? Everyone, or a handful of people?"

I bit the inside of my cheek as I pondered over what he said. A few people compared to everyone... It was a hard decision since I'd rather have no one involved in this war. But, a few people... just a few, instead of everyone, was a better choice. I sighed as my will changed back - not as strong as before - and the fallen one process reversed and I was normal again.

I opened my eyes, but kept them to the ground. "Having disciples is turning me into such a pansy." I muttered.

"Do you want me to ask central to give them to another master?" Lupus asked.

"No!" I shouted as I snapped my head to look up at him. "I mean..." I trailed off as I looked down again, "They deserve a few more years of... semi-normalcy. Even if it's just one year. And... God! When did I start caring about people? When did I even get emotions?" I shouted the last two sentences mostly to myself.

I heard Lupus chuckle and I turned my eyes up to glare at him. "What are you laughing about?" I hissed at him.

"I'm actually chuckling, and it's because one of the coldest Exorcists in existance is discovering emotions and has no clue on what to do about it." Lupus answered with a smug smile.

"I'm not that cold, am I?" I asked as I turned my head to the side.

"Raven, you didn't even go to your relatives funeral, you've beat up countless Exorcists numerous times and you refuse to look at any pictures of your own parents or even go to their graves." Lupus listed off.

"They were asking to get their asses kicked." I muttered.

"Yes, because I was oh so pleading to have you do a round house kick to the right side of my skull." Lupus said with sarcasm dripping from his voice as he rolled his eyes.

"You were spying on me." I hissed as I turned my head to glare at him.

"Yes, because being assigned to the same area as you and filling out a 'public property destruction form' is completely spying." Lupus said as he folded his arms over his chest.

"You refused to show me what you were writing." I snapped back.

"Because I needed to hurry to fill it out before the incident became public!" Lupus yelled at me.

"Su-ure." I said with a roll of my eyes.

"I see some things have stayed the same." Lupus stated.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I hissed as I snapped my head towards him.

He had an annoyed expression on his face, but it morphed into one of relief. "You're still the same old Raven. You're just finally letting your emotions show." He stated.

"Oh, hardy har har, very funny." I said with sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"Shouldn't you get back to Akuma hunting?" Lupus said with a smug grin as he cocked an eyebrow.

"Shouldn't you go fuck yourself?" I hissed.

Lupus's face turned into a frown and he said, "Tamaki's right, you need to work on you vulgar language."

Before I could retort to that, flames burst up around us. Both of us took a defensive stance and I shouted over the roar of the flames, "What the hell?"

"'Hell' indeed." I familiar voice stated. My eyes widened in shock, and before I could move, I felt my body become heavy and I sunk to the ground.

I saw Lupus rush over to me and ask, "Raven! Are you okay?"

"Innocence... Barrier..." I muttered out. "Hell's... Horsemen..."

Lupus's eyes widened and he looked around and said, "Where?"

"Right behind you Exorcist." The horseman's voice boomed from behind Lupus. I saw the red cloaked figure, but before Lupus could turn around, the horseman kicked him in the side and he flew back into a tree. He amazingly kept his grip on his staff, and he somehow managed to stay conscious. Lupus had a huge cut on the side where the horseman kicked him and it was gushing out blood.

"Damn... He's fast..." I heard Lupus muttter as he pressed his hand over his cut.

"What do you want?" I hissed at the horseman.

"Like I said before, I want the key." The horseman said as I saw his red glowing eyes glare at me from under the hood of his cloak.

"I don't have the key, nor do I know what it is!" I hissed out at him.

He grabbed my throat again and lifted me into the air, but instead of holding me there, he slammed my back into a tree, making me have the air knocked out of me.

"Don't toy with us Exorcist. We are losing our patience." The horseman hissed. I glanced around and saw the other three horseman keeping up the Innocence barrier.

"I don't have the key, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you!" I yelled at him.

"Do you even know why we want it?" The horseman growled.

"To get to my great great grandfather..." I answered in a hushed voice.

"Getting to him is just a small bonus, our real target is the Millenium Earl, and we won't hesitate to kill anyone who stands in our way." The horseman corrected.

"Either way, I don't have the key, nor would I give it to you if I did." I hissed.

"Oh really now?" The horseman asked in an unsettlingly calm voice.

I simply nodded my head, or did so as best I could in my situation.

"Not even..." He started, then pulled me away from the tree so I was looking at Lupus, "If it costs your friend his life?"

Lupus was in obvious pain and he was slowly bleeding out from the large gash on his side. I could see him becoming visibly paler.

"At this rate, he's going to bleed out in a matter of minutes unless he gets help. Of course, he can't get to any help unless we lower these flames, and we won't do so unless you give us the key." The horseman taunted.

I felt my eyes water, but refused to cry. "I don't have the key. I don't know where it is."

"That's too bad," The horseman said in a falsely sympathetic voice, "Too bad that humanity is going to lose another Exorcist!" He started laughing and the other horsemen laughed with him.

"You know, you could ask for me to give you my power. Well, basicly ask me to speed up the Noah process on you." The Noah of art's voice rang through my head.

Never. I thought back at it.

"Your friend's going to die at this rate." It was quite a moment, then he continued, "Innocence barriers don't affect Noah powers."

No. I thought at it.

Going back to reality, the horseman was again asking me for the key. I grit my teeth together and knew what I was about to do was going to hurt, but I needed to get Lupus out of there.

I took a deep breath, then swung my leg back and nailed the horseman in the stomache. He released me and I fell to the ground as he keeled over.

It felt like electricity was running through me with every movement I made inside the barrier, but I'd have to endure. I stood up as fast as I could, which ended up being a painfully slow pace. I hurried over to Lupus and knelt next to him.

"C'mon, I'm getting you out of here." I tried saying calmly.

Lupus didn't respond. I quickly put my hand on his neck to check for a pulse and found it to be very very faint, but there none-the-less.

My eyes widened in shock, and I tried to pick him up, but before I could even get my arms under him, a boot crashed into my ribcage and sent me flying back into a tree. I fell forward and landed on my hands and knees before coughing up blood. I had no doubt some of my ribs were cracked, I could feel them.

The horseman walked over to me and used his foot to roll me onto my back before placing his foot on my chest and pressing down on it. "That was a bold move Exorcist, but a very stupid one."

"You're such a chicken. Why don't you take down this barrier and fight like a man." I spat out at him.

"Because I think tactics." The horseman spat back.

"Raven?" A pair of familiar voices called out. Oh no... oh god no... I thought to myself as I turned my head. Behind the flames on a path was the Hitachiin twins. What the hell were they doing here?

"Run!" I yelled at them.

They stayed where they were and stared in shock. The horseman chuckled and asked, "Friends of yours?"

"Stop gawking like idiots and run!" I yelled at them, getting a newfound strength. They snapped back to their senses and were about to run away when flames flared up around them.

"Let them go!" I yelled at the horseman as I grabbed his ankle and pulled on it, making him fall to his back. The flames disappeared and I yelled at Hikaru and Kaoru again, "Run you idiots!" I pushed myself up, then hurried back over to Lupus again. I picked him up and grabbed his staff at the same time. I quickly stood, and when I turned, I saw the twins hadn't moved and that the horseman was getting back up. I growled in frustration, then ran over towards the twins and yelled, "Start running!"

They waited a moment, and when I was near them, they started running so they were beside me. We were nearing the park entrance and I flinched in pain as my adrenaline wore out.

Hikaru whipped out a cell phone and called someone while Kaoru asked if I was okay. I couldn't answer as my energy started to wear out. Hikaru put his cell phone away and took Lupus from me, and when he did, I collapsed.
