What's up internet folks?

Gahh, I've been so tired and lazy lately, Spring Break is hereeeeeee.

well, not like I'm doing anything involving the outside world.

So here's the chapter alright?

Byebye

She looked back at Allen ''i'm spending the night with Lavi'' she said as Cross and Drusilla chuckled ''we're staying in your room idiot apprentice'' Cross said as Allen paled ''you can stay with me'' Lenalee said ''b-b-b-b-b-but'' Kumoi started.

Allen watched as Ashlynn went up to Lavi and he put his arm around her like he was tired.

''Come on'' Ashlynn whispered ''you owe me one hell of a explanation'' he said as she chuckled and waved to everyone. Cross and Drusilla looked at each other thoughtfully ''is that boy good for her?'' Cross asked.

Allen smiled ''yeah he's good for her'' Allen nodded as he grabbed Lenalee's hand as Cross's visible eye widened a bit looking at Drusilla, the woman smirked looking away.

''Allen...Walker!'' Kumoi screamed holding up some torture devices and Allen gasped ''wait brother!'' Lenalee cried as Allen ran off, Kumoi hot on his trail.

Drusilla sighed ''come on you useless piece of shit, let's share a bottle of wine'' she said as Cross nodded ''I can't say no to beautiful lady'' he said taking out a cigarette.

''Seems silly doesn't it...it seems like yesterday we picked those brats up. Now...'' she trailed off as Allen ran past her ''M-Master help!'' he cried Kumoi running with a flamethrower ''stop it!'' Lenalee panted, Cross didn't say anything put he knew well what Drusilla meant.

He stared as Lavi put his arm around Ashlynn's waist and kissed the top of her head.

He closed his eyes breathing the smoke in ''come on, let's leave the kids alone'' he said walking off.

Drusilla fallowed her gaze softly on the ground.

Ashlynn paused her head leaning over to Lavi's shoulder ''what is it?'' he asked ''someone's in your room'' she said softly.

Lavi's eye widened ''shit'' he muttered she turned to him.

''Go take a shower okay? I'll come get you when you're done'' he said giving her an urgent tone.

''Lavi who is it?''

''Don't worry about it okay?'' he said.

She began to speak when he leaned down and kissed her, she pulled away ''La-'' he kissed her again this time pushing her in to the wall next to his door ''okay, okay i'll go!'' she said as he trailed down to her neck, she fought the urge to moan as she pushed him off.

''I'll be quick'' Lavi said as she nodded and left.

Lavi walked into the room ''hey old man, how was the mission?'' he asked as Bookman stared at him.

''Who was that girl?'' he asked as Lavi frowned.

''Ashlynn'' he answered.

''Your girlfriend?'' Bookman asked as he kept quiet.

''You know that you're making a mistake'' he said as Lavi looked up only to get hit, Bookman's hand was raised staring at the red mark on the boy's cheek.

''Are you not the successor of Bookman Clan!? How do you think this will go to the higher ups?'' Bookman cried as Lavi's eyes were still on the floor ''your job is to be an observer. You are not a real exorcist Lavi'' he shouted.

''I know!'' Lavi shouted making Bookman glare at the young man.

''If you know then are you doing this?'' he demanded.

''I like her okay, I really like her...''

''the Bookman Clan makes no exceptions'' he stated as Lavi's fists clenched tightly.

''Are you willing to risk who you are to be with a girl?'' he asked.

''I cant lose myself, I don't know who I am! To everyone i'm Lavi, to me i'm nothing'' he said.

''you're Lavi of the Bookman Clan, my apprentice so you can be an efficient writer. Already you make ties with people you never shouldve cared about'' he said as the first thoughts were to Lenalee, Allen, Miranda, Krory and Kanda ''you think you can run off with a girl? You are betraying everything Bookman stands for'' Bookman snapped.

Lavi growled ''just...give me two weeks'' Lavi whispered ''what?'' Bookman snarled.

''two weeks...then i'll forget about her. We can leave the Black Order and go again...i'll change my name. Just give me two weeks...please'' Lavi whispered.

Bookman frowned ''two weeks'' Bookman said nodding.

Lavi opened the door and walked to right, striding quickly trying to get away as fast as possible.

Bookman sighed sitting on the bed ''immature brat'' he bitterly said.

He looked up at the doorway to see a girl.

''Bookman huh...'' she whispered.

''You must be the girl'' he said as Ashlynn nodded, she wore a dark green long sleeved shirt and red shorts ''are you not mad? Angry that the boy lied to you?'' he asked as Ashlynn smiled softly ''you cant make me hate him'' she said softly.

''May I speak with you?'' she asked politely as Bookman gave a ''hmph'' and Ashlynn walked in ''you're really going to make him leave everyone?'' she asked, her tone was soft not accusing or mad just gentle.

Bookman didn't say a word as she kneeled down ''please...don't be so hard on him. Two weeks...do you know why he picked that day?'' she asked as Bookman looked at her ''in two weeks Yu Kanda, Lenalee Lee and I are going to the Asian Branch, there we'll be the subjects they'll use for the Fourth Exorcist Program.'' Bookman looked up startled.

''There's a chance that Kanda and Lenalee will survive, because their innocence rate isn't as close to a critical point than mine, but even then their chance of surviving is slim'' she said ''and yourself?'' he asked.

''A month ago, the North American Branch started experimenting on me. They injected something called the Alma Gene in my blood. It's reacting to my innocence and making the rate rise. They believe once I hit critical point my innocence will embrace the Alma Gene'' she said lightly ''what is this Alma Gene?'' he asked ''it's the collected genetics from the First, Second and Third Exorcist Programs. It's supposed to give us like...a super artificial innocence that hopefully will strengthen our bodies and bring the innocence to a new level of power'' she said.

''You're welcome to go see...it can be apart of history'' she said ''and you don't mind throwing your life away?'' Bookman asked.

''This wasn't my choice. But there's no point in fighting back, it'll just put Allen in risk. The reason why i'm there is because I didn't want Allen to be apart of this'' she looked at Bookman and smiled ''and no one wants that, I know he's so important here I cant take that away from them. If Lenalee and Kanda comes back then they'll all be together again'' she said standing up.

''And yourself?'' he asked ''I believe if my innocence tries to save me, it'll end up overpowering me, in order to not become a fallen one. They'll kill me first before that can happen'' she said walking to the door ''if you wish to come, please do. You can enjoy the show'' she said before softly closing the door behind her.

She sighed, shaking off some nerves and crossed her arms over her chest. She walked around the halls. She paused before walking to her room, she walked in to see Allen and Lenalee sleeping close together, legs entangled and hair messy. Ashlynn fought the urge to laugh draping a blanket over them and took a black silk night robe that ended at her knees and tied the black ribbon around her and walked outside.

She looked up and saw a man she hadn't been able to get close with ''Krory!'' Ashlynn waved as the man jumped looking at her ''oh, hello Ashlynn what brings you up so early?'' he asked ''I was looking for Lavi, have you seen him?'' she asked tying up her hair into a messy bun ''he ran that way a bit a go'' Krory pointed down the hall ''do you know where he was going?'' she asked as he shook his head ''thanks Krory, i'll see you later!'' Ashlynn said running down the halls, she sighed looking around to see that she made a full circle 'and here I thought I had a better sense of direction' she then spotted the red head sitting outside his room. His head in a hand and he was reading a book.

She walked up to him ''Lavi?'' she asked as he didn't look up ''Lavi?'' she said a little louder.

Still no answer, she growled using her barefoot push the book into his face, he jumped.

''Damn it you old pan-'' he stopped when he saw her, he stopped speaking before looking away ''not talking to me now?'' she asked crossing her arms.

She growled pulling him up by the collar of his teal shirt, his bandana in his hair. She dropped him on his knees ''you better start apologizing'' she mumbled ''are you crazy?'' Lavi shouted as she put her foot on his head forcing him to the ground.

''I'm sorry'' he groaned.

''for?'' she asked ''for not telling you i'm the successor of the Bookman Clan'' he said as she sighed letting her feet drop as he stood up looking flustered.

''Hey...'' he mumbled ''hi'' she smiled gently ''look'' the boy frowned rubbing the back of his neck ''i'm really sorry...i just though..that if I did tell you that you'd get mad'' he said ''because Bookman cant have relationships with people?'' she asked as he nodded ''well...do you think we should do?'' she asked as the two sat down, Lavi smirked ''you'll be my girlfriend, i'll be your boyfriend and hopefully no one will rat us out'' he said as she looked at him ''are you serious?'' she asked as he grinned ''guess I am'' he said turning to her ''what do you say? Will you be my girlfriend?'' he asked as she smiled leaning in pressing her lips to his ''yeah'' she smiled as he held her neck and kissed her softly.

She pulled away ''it's morning, people are going to come out'' she said pulling his hand ''where to?'' he asked smirking seductively as she paused at the door ''he's not in here. Come on'' she said as the two went into Lavi's room, Bookman no where to be seen.

The moment she closed the door he came behind her pressing her up against the door nibbling on her neck. The robe dropped as she turned to kiss him falling onto the bed, the two never separated until Ashlynn pulled away ''let's sleep for a bit okay?'' she asked panting, the slightest bags underneath the two exorcist's eyes asked for sleep.

Lavi nodded as the two snuggled underneath the blanket, Ashlynn's head against the boy's chest ''thank's Lavi'' she whispered as he kissed her forehead running his hands through her hair until she fell asleep. He smiled and grabbed the book from the desk and began to read and for the first time in a while, he felt completely at ease.

Lavi soon fell asleep, his head down, one hand in Ashlynn's hair, the other still holding up the book he was reading.

Morning came and Lavi's eyes opened, he looked down to see the sleeping girl clutching the hem of his shirt with what looked like a grip of steel.

He smiled dropping the book and took off his bandana and finally, his fingers slipped underneath his eyepatch and took off the piece of fabric fall off the bed, though he kept his right eye shut he sighed running both his hands in his hair and closed his eyes.

When Ashlynn stirred Lavi opened his eyes and looked down to see Ashlynn yawn and open her eyes, she sat up and looked at Lavi her eyes widened.

''Your eye'' she whispered putting a hand over her mouth.

Lavi smiled grimly ''are you hungry?'' he asked picking up the eye patch and putting it around his eye as Ashlynn dropped her hands feeling a bit rude ''yeah'' she said ''it's four in the afternoon'' Lavi smirked as she gasped ''you are serious?'' she cried as he nodded as she sighed ''i'm not in my room...can I borrow a shirt?'' she asked as he nodded and threw her one of his white long sleeved shirts with a wide collar, she unbuttoned her shirt and looked at him to see him blush and stare at the wall.

She smiled gently and let the shirt fall and she threw on the shirt and quietly walked over and pounced at Lavi ''hey!'' he shouted face planting into the bed.

She smiled rolling off of him, and breathed in deeply ''you know what you'd look really cute in?'' she asked ''what?'' he asked ''bunny ears'' she smiled as he looked at her with a strange expression ''seriously?'' he asked ''yup'' she smiled as he chuckled ''you'd look cute in...cat ears'' he said as she gave him another strange look ''c'mon let's go eat lunch'' he said as she frowned standing up ''I still cant believe I woke up this late'' she said crossing her arms.

Lavi smiled, in one swift motion he swept Ashlynn into his arms bridal style ''what the hell are you doing?'' she cried as he kicked open the door and he carried her down to the cafeteria where everyone sat ''let me go Lavi!'' she cried from the halls. Allen, Lenalee, Kanda, Miranda and Krory looked up from their food to see Lavi carry a squirming Ashlynn in his arms ''h-hey!'' Allen shouted choking on his food.

''Drop the girl'' Marian Cross put a gloved hand on Lavi's shoulder and gripped it tightly ''C-Cross! Wait, it's fine don't kill him!'' Ashlynn shouted as Lavi set her down and shuddered underneath Cross's touch ''Ashlynn'' Drusilla walked up ''yes master?'' she frowned looking at the busty woman ''is that your boyfriend?'' she asked pointing to Lavi who was withering ''m-my arm, you're gonna break it!'' he croaked to Cross ''Allen h-help!'' Lavi shouted as Allen frowned looking away as Lenalee punched him softly ''yeah, he's my boyfriend'' she said.

''WHAT'' Allen and Cross shouted as the two glared at each other ''you were supposed to keep her away from creeps and losers'' Cross accused.

''I know, why do you think I kept her away from you!?'' Allen pointed.

''Shut up'' Drusilla and Ashlynn growled, Drusilla punching Cross as Ashlynn put Allen in a headlock ''come on Allen, aren't you happy for me?'' she pleaded jutting out her lower lip and gave him the puppy dog look.

Allen sighed ''yes i'm happy for you'' he said as she squealed and hugged him ''thank you Allen'' she said as Allen patted her hair and smiled down at her, then shot a glare to Lavi ''i'll kill you'' he mouthed to Lavi as Cross let go and Lavi rubbed his new bruise.

The sound of shattering glass rained on them as they all looked up ''what's happening?'' Miranda asked as all the exorcists activated their innocence ''everyone run to the Science Division!'' Krory shouted.

''are these...butterflies?'' Ashlynn whispered as purple and black butterflies flew around them ''these are...'' Lenalee whispered.

''Tyki Mikk''

Allen cursed as the butterflies stuck together forming a human

''Good morning Allen Walker'' the dark skinned man appeared form the butterflies.

The man had golden eyes and ashen skin with dark hair, he had seven cross like stigmas etched across his forehead, he wore a fine suit and gloves that were holding a top hat. Ashlynn looked at him, he looked strikingly familiar ''good morning exorcists'' he said pushing back his hair and put his top hat on his wavy hair.

''What do you think you're doing here?'' Allen asked ''calm down boy, I don't wish to fight'' he said.

''you're the Noah of Pleasure'' Cross said as Drusilla glared at him ''yes I am, but i'm not here to fight, i'm here for a miss Shiori'' he said.

Kanda took a step ''my name is Ashlynn'' said girl said putting a hand on Kanda's shoulder and walked up to the Noah.

''you're much more beautiful than Road described'' he said bending over to Ashlynn and picked up her hand and kissed it much to everyone's surprise ''Road?'' she question unfazed that her hand was still being held by the man ''never mind that, i'm here to formally invite you to a masquerade party tonight'' he said/

''You can bring your little exorcist friends. I do expect everyone to look their best'' he said ''and if I kill you right now?'' she asked with a blank face that could match a rock's.

Tyki laughed ''oh, no you couldn't do that'' he said dropping her left hand, her right hand still in it's weapon form ''you wanna bet?'' she smirked ''tonight, at 8pm. At the Mona Lisa Hall'' he said.

''Anything else?'' she asked.

''nope'' he said as Ashlynn brought her right hand back and cut from the his shoulder down to his hip, his body erupted into butterflies.

A mocking laugh echoed throughout the cafeteria ''I told you, goodbye exorcists'' Tyki's voice then vanished.

It was quiet for a while ''I think I know what our next mission is'' Lavi said.

The rest of the day was Johnny frantically making suits and dresses since no one really had (or wanted) the time to go shopping.

Everyone was back in their usual routine, Allen was (once again) serving his master, Drusilla was in the Science Division looking over the experiments. Lenalee was helping Kumoi on the Fourth Exorcist Experiment then helped Johnny make the dresses. Miranda was with Marie, Krory was out for personal business, Ashlynn and Kanda were once again sparring blind, Lavi was drowned in work and barely had time to see Ashlynn.

Around five everyone gathered in the Science Division after a long day, Kanda and Ashlynn had cuts and bruises, Allen was silently sobbing due to bills he was enforced upon, Lavi had bags underneath his green eye and Lenalee was still as perky as ever. Ashlynn leaned against Kanda for support ''damn bitch kicked me in the gut'' she wheezed as Kanda smirked ''che, be faster next time'' he said before grunting in pain holding his arm ''you two look gorgeous'' Allen said sarcastically, the two glared at the boy.

''What was that moyashi?'' Ashlynn snapped growing fond of the nickname Kanda placed on him ''it's Allen, Shiori'' he remarked as she growled, the two glared at each other ''everyone stop fighting!'' Lenalee said getting in between and the two sighed ''i'm just tired'' Allen said ''you're tired? Baka usagi is dead on his feet'' Kanda said jutting his head to Lavi who was snoring, still standing.

''Where's Miranda and Krory?'' Allen asked ''and Marie'' Ashlynn said ''who knows, where's Johnny we're gonna be late'' Kanda mumbled ''guys!'' the man shouted running up with bags and bags fallowed by Kumoi and Reever.

They shoved the bags into the exorcist, waking Lavi up in the process ''go change quick!'' Johnny shouted as everyone sighed and found a room with no one in it.

A bit after the boys came out first, Allen wore a white tuxedo, a black vest and a red tie. His hair was neater than usual as he slipped on black dress shoes ''looking nice Allen'' Lavi grinned the same time Kanda came out, Kanda was wearing almost all black, his vest was a dark navy blue but everything else was black, it suited him well. Lavi was wearing a white dress shirt, the first few buttons open revealing his neck, the black tuxedo jacket was open, he was wearing black slacks and black shoes, he swapped his green headband for a black and white one, he shoved his hands in his pockets.

''What's taking them so long?'' Lavi asked.

''We all know you just want to see Ash'' Allen said as Lavi flushed ''whatever, like you don't wanna see Lenalee'' Lavi said as Kumoi's mouth opened.

''Allen I-''

''brother stop it!'' Lenalee shouted stomping out, all three boys turned with wide eyes as the two girls walked out.

Lenalee sported a long purple dress, the underskirt was a darker violet than the purple overskirt. It was held up with two straps and a bit of sequins underneath the bust and on the edge of the dress. She wore strapped purple, peep toe heels. Her short hair was the same, except for the right side, her hair was braided into the back of her ear with a flower clip.

Ashlynn hugged Lenalee ''doesn't she look cute Allen?'' Ashlynn asked as the white haired boy blushed ''y-yeah'' he turned away as the girls giggled ''you look gorgeous'' Lavi wrapped his arms around Ashlynn's waist making her flush lightly. Ashlynn was wearing a dark blue, strapless dress with a sweet heart neckline, her fitted skirt ended mid thigh but had a laced train that came close to the ground. She wore simple black heels and the gold ring. Kumoi was busy taking pictures of Lenalee while Allen and Kanda were bickering while Ashlynn and Lavi quietly spoke.

Kumoi then handed each person a masquerade mask ''each is equip with a microphone so you all can talk to each other'' Kumoi said ''as long as you all stay in a mile radius from each other you guys will hear each other just fine'' he said.

Lenalee's mask as a glittery gold-silver simple mask with black trim and purple crystals. Allen's was a silver mask that had a gold design and a black tear drop shape underneath the right eye. It was large enough to hide his cursed eye. Kanda's has a navy blue wire one with intricate design and pointed corners. Lavi's was a black pointed mask with large lace squares even over his eye, a red Rose over the right eye covering it completely. Ashlynn's was a black with white lace over on top of the entire mask.

They all looked at each other ''this has got to be the nicest thing i've seen you in'' Allen blankly stared at Ashlynn.

She sighed kicking him in shin ''fuck you too'' Ashlynn crossed her arms ''we should leave'' Lenalee said as Kumoi kept talking pictures ''alright Kumoi let them go'' Reever said as Lenalee grabbed Allen's hand ''it's like you're going to prom for the first time'' Ashlynn shuddered ''yeah, not like a mission that could kill us all'' Lavi said ''shut up and let's go'' Kanda muttered bitterly as they got into the boat that would carry them to town, then they would take a carriage to the Mona Lisa Hall.
