Shiki: We've really been racking our brains to work on our stories, so we hope you love them!!
'Anna hurry, we're almost at my house!!' Lisa called out, she was a few feet ahead of Anna who was lagging behind due to lack of sleep and malnourishment.
'I'm coming Lis, just calm down….' Anna said exhausted, she watched as the happy girl turned a corner. Anna smiled lightly to herself, they were finally back in Italy where she could have a happy life. She saw Lisa ahead of her when she turned the corner and hurried to the girl. 'Okay when do I meet you're….' Anna trailed off as she saw what was in front of her. The remains of a house were standing there, there were several large bullet holes in the houses' frame and looked close to collapsing.
'Who would do this….!' Lisa said in shock. 'Who would destroy my home…?'
'Konbawa Ladies!' A voice came from behind the two girls, Anna instinctively twisted around and placed Lisa behind her, even though it had only been a few days, she had grown close to the girl.
'The Millennium Earl….!' Anna hissed, a short girl with ashy skin and black hair stepped out from behind the Earl. 'Noah….' The glass around them shattered and collected into Anna's hands.
'Earl look at what she's doing!!' Road Kamelot said shocked.
'I can see perfectly fine Road….' The Earl said sounding annoyed. 'She has a parasitic innocence in her somewhere….'
'What the hell are you talking about!!?' Anna yelled, the shards formed into a katana, she looked down and then at the two enemies in front of her. 'Did you destroy Lisa's home?!'
'Yes and we killed her family!' Road said with a giggle.
'WHAT THE HELL YOU LITTLE BITCH!!?' Anna yelled as she ran at the two with the glass katana in her hands. She swung at them and suddenly it was no longer in her hands; she twisted and saw it in the hands of Road.
'You need to be more careful with this thing….someone could get hurt….like this!!' She said while plunging it into Anna's stomach. She laughed and vanished with the Earl, Lisa screamed and ran over to Anna who was on the ground with blood pooling around her and a trickle coming from the corner of her mouth.
'Anna….no don't die!' Lisa pulled out the glass katana and more blood started to pour out, she placed her hands on the wound, a green light flashed and suddenly the wound was vanishing and the blood was going back into the wound. Anna sat up and coughed out blood.
'Now you two have innocence!" A red haired man said while walking up to the two.
Kanda knocked on Lisa and Anna's door for what seemed like the millionth time already, he gave up and just opened the door, which hit the wall with a loud bang.
Anna and Lisa both bolted up wide awake and gasping for breath, Anna heard the door bang open the bed frame shattered and the shards flew towards the door, there was the sound of metal meeting metal. The shards flew back to Anna's hands and formed into a dagger, she blindly charged at the door not caring who was there, she swung the dagger down and was stopped by a katana. Hands grabbed her from behind; she started to panic, seeing as she couldn't move the hair out of her face to see who was holding her. The glass windows all shattered and flew at her attackers.
"ANNA CALM DOWN!!" Several voices said and the glass stopped in midair and fell to the floor; she stood gasping for breath, an insane smile creeping onto her face. She twisted around so quickly that her captor let go in shock, she punched her attacker who fell to the ground, and she sat on him with a glass dagger in her hands. Lisa stood up and walked over to the doorway where Lavi and Kanda stood shocked, she looked worried for Allen who was on the ground.
"Hey Anna….it's me Allen, your older cousin!!" Allen said softly as the dagger was pressed to his throat with enough force to draw blood.
"Lisa why does this happen?!" Kanda asked worried for Anna.
"That Cross guy said that since we both have a parasitic innocence, we have to pay for using it….so I guess her going insane like this is her punishment, and mine is being weak after healing." Lisa explained with a grim look on her face.
"Then why don't we just restrain her….?" Lavi said while going up to Anna, he placed one hand on her shoulder and got cut by the dagger. Anna's eyes had been revealed when she had twisted around, they weren't their normal blue-green, but rather a dark and dangerous looking color that isn't even a color really, but if it had to be it would be a blood red. "Shit that girl is fast!!" Lavi said backing up with his hand on the shallow wound.
"Well yeah, Cross tested her several times…. I hated every single time…. But her senses get heightened when she's like that, it helps in battle but I hate seeing her like this, she always has that pained expression deep in her eyes…." Lisa said. Anna was glaring at Lavi so her head was turned away from Allen who quickly pushed Anna off of him and pinned her to the ground, kicking the dagger away in the process.
"ANNA CALM DOWN PLEASE!!" Allen yelled while she struggled to get out of his grip. Kanda walked over to Anna and kneeled down next to her head.
"Anna please wake up…." He said in her ear so only she could hear, he then kissed the top of her head gently. Everyone gasped in shock; Kanda glared at them and looked at Allen. "Go away Moyashi!!" Allen got up and walked over to Lavi still in shock, they all watched as the insane smile on Anna's face vanished, she bolted up and looked around.
"SHIT!!" She yelled. "Didn't you try to stop me before it got this bad!?!"
"We did!! Allen had to pin you down and Kanda had to use his katana to keep you from stabbing him! And Lavi got cut when you pinned Allen down!!" Lisa said.
"Oh…." Anna said softly. "So are we going out to find the innocence??" She said with a smile on her face.
"Umm, yeah let's go…." Allen said while walking down the hallway.
"Her smile is the same as the Moyashi's, it's completely fake!" Kanda said.
"Finally someone besides be noticed that she doesn't truly smile…. I haven't seen a real smile on her face yet…." Lisa said. "Only her fake smile and her insane smile…." The three of them followed Anna and Allen down the hallway.
"Why did she react to the door opening like that anyway?" Lavi asked.
"I'm going to guess that it was a nightmare, she's usually more on edge after a nightmare, but this will have been the first one in awhile…." Lisa said.
"Hey Anna did you have a little nightmare!?!" Lavi teased, he received a punch to his mouth.
"Shut the hell up Usagi!!" Anna yelled. "But yeah I did…." She whispered the end. "Well let's get going then!" She said quickly to cover up her sadness and fear that crossed her face and eyes.
"Kanda I want you to look after her…." Allen whispered to Kanda as Anna and Lisa walked ahead with Lavi. "Please, I don't like it that you two love each other, but if it means she'll be protected then I can live with it, just don't let her die!" Allen said in a desperate manner.
"I'm not going to let her die!! Not on my watch anyway, baka Moyashi…." Kanda said.
"Komui said the mission in Japan will be extremely dangerous, and this one is very simple….so I'm not worried right now, but when we start on our way to Japan I'm going to start to worry…." Allen said.
"Why did Komui send us five to Japan when it's a very dangerous mission?!" Kanda asked.
"Who knows what Komui is thinking anymore…?" Allen muttered, they had arrived outside where Anna, Lisa, and Lavi were chatting.
"Man I'm tired…. I actually can't wait to get back on the train!!" Anna said, she looked towards Allen and Kanda and smiled sweetly.
"Well first we have to find the innocence…." Allen said walking up to the three with Kanda right behind him.
"I know that….well let's get going then!!" Anna said, she looked behind her and saw the forest that surrounded the small town. "Let's try in there for starters….!"
"Why there?" Lavi asked.
"Because I just have a good feeling about it!!" Anna and Lisa said at the same time.
"Okay ladies, we'll follow your instincts for a little bit!!" Lavi said defensively. Everyone started laughing as they set off towards the forest.
"Ne….how many types of Akuma are there….?" Anna asked absently.
"Four that we know of, but there could be more…." Lavi said. "And they get more dangerous as the number gets higher, we almost didn't make it when the level 4 attacked us…."
"Oh….just four…." Anna said, she looked down at the ground and started to lag behind slightly.
"Plus there are the Noah's and then the Earl shows up sometimes…." Allen continued. He, Lavi, Kanda, and Lisa kept walking when they suddenly heard a scream. Kanda and Allen twisted around and saw Anna on her knees, they raced back to her.
"Anna what happened!?!" Kanda asked.
"Nothing…. I just tripped!!" Anna explained. The two boys sighed in relief.
"Thank god you only tripped!!" Allen said. Kanda sighed again and stood up, he held a hand out to Anna who took it gratefully and was pulled to her feet.
"Ariagato!!" She said with a smile, she took a step and fell to the ground again, this time Kanda caught her.
"Anna are you okay? Did you hurt yourself earlier?!" He asked her.
"Not that I know of….put me down please…." She said, Kanda reluctantly set her down. Anna sighed and kneeled down and looked at the ground.
"What are you doing?" Lavi asked while walking up to them with Lisa.
"It feels weird here….y'all are gonna hate me but…." Anna said suddenly the ground broke apart to reveal innocence in the ground. Anna smiled her insane smile and picked up the innocence. "It's okay your safe now…." She whispered.
"Is she okay? "Lavi asked.
"You mean you guys can't hear it? The innocence?" Lisa asked.
"EHHH?!?!" The three boys said, while Kanda just looked surprised.
"Shh, listen…." Anna said, she stood up and held the innocence up to her and held it close. Everyone was quiet and no one but Lisa and Anna seemed to be able to hear it, Lisa had walked over and knelt down next to Anna so she was closer to the innocence.
"Okay, we really should report this to Komui, so let's head back to the hotel and then we can go to Japan!" Lavi said. Anna stood up with the innocence and looked at everyone, her eyes seemed unfocused and she had a small grin on her face. Lavi suddenly took the innocence from her and placed it in his pocket.
"Why'd you do that?! It had something very important to tell me!! Something about a great tragedy coming…." Anna said trailing off at the end.
"Because we need to get back so we can get to Japan and then get back to Headquarters!!" Lavi explained as he started walking towards the town with everyone following him. Anna seemed to be in thought and almost tripped several times but managed to recover quickly so no one noticed. Once they were all back in the hotel Lavi went to go and report what happened to Komui and everyone else went to get ready to leave for Japan.
"Will we really have to take a boat….?" Lisa asked.
"Yes Lisa, we can't get there any other way!" Lavi said.
"But Anna can…." Lisa started but stopped and looked around. "Where did Anna go?" Everyone else looked around and didn't see the girl.
"Where did she go….?" Allen and Kanda said concerned.
"Let's go find her…." Lavi said sounding exhausted. They all walked outside and saw Anna talking with Kali.
"Kali how did you get here?!" Everyone heard Anna ask.
"Well dad said I should see the world! So I'm here with Nii-Sama and Nee-Sama, they just went to go get some food….they told me to wait here!" Kali said happily.
"Anna get away from the Noah!!!!" Allen yelled while running towards the two girls.
"ALLEN SHUT THE HELL UP!! KALI IS NOT A FUCKING NOAH!!" Anna yelled while putting Kali behind her. Kali gripped Anna's hands so tightly her finger nails dug into Anna's skin and caused her to bleed slightly. "Ow, Kali it's going to be okay so don't grip so tightly!!" Kali only tightened her grip, she suddenly grinned and dug her nails down to a major artery, she pierced it and Anna screamed in pain. Road appeared with Tyki and the three vanished, leaving Anna bleeding from her wrists.
"Anna….!!" Lisa said while racing to Anna, she placed her hands on the wounds but was pushed away.
"No Lis!!!! I won't let you do that! This will heal quickly, so don't waste it on me!!" Anna said pushing Lisa away more.
"But Anna….you'll bleed to death!!"
"No I wont….so don't worry!" Anna said while placing her hand on Lisa's head. She pulled bandages out of her pocket and wrapped them tightly over the wounds.
"Kay….if you say so….."Lisa said reluctantly.
"Now Lisa what were you saying about Anna earlier?" Lavi asked.
"Well Anna can't you create a bridge and not go insane??" Lisa asked.
"Yeah actually, if me and Lis combine our power we can create anything, even a bridge large enough to get to Japan…." Anna said. "If it's done correctly there won't be any side affects!!"
"Well, we'll save that for when we get to the coast so it'll be shorter…." Allen said.
"Yup….now lets get back to the train station!!" Anna and Lisa said in unison.
