Kesenai and Road had stopped in front of the restaurant that Kesenai and Lavi were in (2 chapters ago if I'm correct) Road pointed at that restaurant "Lets go in there!"

Kesenai sweat dropped "Uh no. Not there please."

Road pouted and said "But you have to, remember, you have to be nice to ladies."

Kesenai sweat dropped again and thought: "God damnit, I usually don't do this to ladies but because I really hate the service in that one…" "Road, I'll take you somewhere nicer. Just trust me for now." Kesenai began to put a blindfold to cover her eyes.

Road giggled "Alright then, just don't do something bad to me."

Kesenai thought: "Damnit! She read my deeper doubt about her and throwing her off a cliff." "Don't worry." Kesenai laughed and lifted Road up in his arms. He began looking for a restaurant that he had passed by when Road and Kesenai were looking for their hotel (1 or 2 chapters ago.)

Road giggled "Are we there yet?"

Kesenai replied "Don't rush me. Not much of a good idea."

Road complained "But this is taking too long!"

Kesenai replied "Road, it's only been 4 minutes, I don't think your stomach should be complaining that much."

Road giggled "But I'm really hungry, I've had nothing to eat since this morning.

Kesenai continued to look around "Don't worry, where I'll take you will be one of the best experiences you'll ever have."

"Really?!" Road fakely gasped.

"Yes." Kesenai replied.

Road thought: "Ugh… Hope this human does find that restaurant, I really am getting hungry…" Road giggled "So what's the restaurant like?"

"I don't know. I've never been in it before, but my parents had told me about it." Kesenai answered. (Note: Road knows nothing about Kesenai's parents being dead.)

"So you parents went here on a date?" Road asked.

"Uh… Not a date. It was a honeymoon." Kesenai answered.

Road giggled "Awwww!" She kept this act up that act, keeping an eye on Kesenai's sword.

Kesenai sighed and sweat dropped "I didn't get the damn address, so of course I won't be able to find it now. And also, we passed by it during the time we were looking for the hotel yesterday, I don't think I'd memorize the background all that well, but I remember how the restaurant looked." Kesenai cursed his bad memory. Little did Kesenai know that he was being followed by a certain someone. Kesenai twitched, feeling a far off presence that seemed to be following them. He shook it off, thinking it was just his own imagination. Kesenai panicked thinking: "Crap! I was too focused on my imaginary stalker, that now I think I'm lost!"

Road looked at Kesenai, still blindfolded "Uh, Kesenai. Are we even there yet?"

Kesenai shakily said "No we're not there yet. Stop rushing me!!"

Road sweat dropped "You must be really slow to be taking this long to try and find a dumb restaurant. Even I myself would've found it in a matter of 5 minutes if you had left me to go look for it myself."

Kesenai sweat dropped and twitched, thinking: "That little bitch is making me feel stupid. I really should feed her to the dogs…"

Road looked at Kesenai with an innocent smile, thinking: "Ugh… I really need to find a way to steal his sword. I think I can do it once we're at the restaurant. He'll have to either rest it down somewhere, or give it to the guards 'til we leave." Kesenai looked around, trying to see if something was familiar to him, but then again, this wasn't New York, so nothing was familiar to him in France.

Kesenai thought: "Damnit! Where the hell are we?" and kept looking around in slight panic. Kesenai looked at the ground to see bread crumbs and thought: "What the hell is this? Is someone playing a joke on me?" Kesenai was planning on following it, but had second thoughts about it since there was a Noah running loose in France (Yes I mean Tyki.) Kesenai sighed and thought: "I have nothing else to lose so I may as well follow it. For all I know it could be him doing this to joke with me. Or some random drunk left this bread crumb trail to a restaurant." and Kesenai began to follow the bread trail.

Road complained "Are we there yet?"

Kesenai replied "Don't rush me… I think I'm close to it." The trail of bread crumbs took 5 minutes to fully follow. Kesenai finally arrived at the front door of the restaurant that he was looking for. "We're here!" Kesenai exclaimed, for once glad that he followed what would've been a risk to get somewhere. Road smiled and awaited quietly for their entrance into the restaurant, not because of the fact that they're at the restaurant now, because now she could get the chance to steal Kesenai's sword.

"Okay we're here…" Kesenai began removing Road's blindfold.

Road cheered "Yay!" and threw her arms around Kesenai's neck. Kesenai sweat dropped and entered the restaurant.

"Table for--" before Kesenai could finish, he looked at a nearby table to see Allen and Lenalee, laughing and sitting next to each other, holding hands. Kesenai thought: "Why the hell are they here? I guess I'll surprise the hell out of them." Kesenai told Road "Be quiet, I want to try and scare my friends right now."

Road giggled at the devious plan "I like it. Alright then." Kesenai snuck over, tip-toeing right behind them.

"BOO!" Kesenai yelled. Both Allen and Lenalee, out of pure reaction, punched Kesenai in the face, thinking he was an enemy. "Ow! You bastards! That hurt!" he said in reply to their punches.

Allen sweat dropped and said "I'm sorry, but I think you should not have snuck up on us."

Lenalee giggled "You really shouldn't have snuck up on us. We could've done worse to you."

Road giggled "Wow, you guys are really violent."

Allen and Lenalee's eyes immediately shot to look at Road "What're you doing here?!" Allen's expression changed to one that was angered.

Road giggled "I'm here with Kesenai for lunch."

Allen's expression remained hardened "Road… Kamelot…"

Kesenai seemed confused "What's wrong?"

Lenalee answered "She's someone we fought with about a year ago. She's a really evil, manipulative girl."

Kesenai thought: "Wow, sounds like my dream girl. Evil and manipulative."

Allen tackled Road down and his left arm turned into the Crown Clown, trying to strangle her with it "I'll be sure to finish you off now!" Road smirked and sent Allen's own consciousness to her dream world.

"I'll play with you 'til I break you… Boy…" Road giggled evilly. Allen was sent to that world once before, so he was a bit used to it, so nothing in the dream world was going to distract him or catch him off guard. Knowing that everything wasn't real, he ignored all the souls of the demons that were cursing his name.

Outside of the dream world, Kesenai was just sitting where he was, watching what was going on, unsure of what to do "Road… What are you?" Kesenai felt something strange coming from Road. Road felt bad that she was going to have to kill Kesenai now and allowed her true form to be seen, her skin turning completely gray with 7 pitch black crosses across her forehead, like Tyki "I'm a Noah…" was her answer.

Kesenai thought: "She's a Noah… I let a Noah get so close to me… But… She didn't make the attempt to kill me… Why is that..?"

Road looked at Kesenai "I didn't kill you because my heart wavered." Kesenai was confused at what she just said

"What do you mean by 'wavered'?" he asked.

Road said "You'll know later… When we meet again… For now…" she pointed her hand at Kesenai, a bunch of her sharp candles appearing. "I'm sorry Kesenai… But now you must die…" she looked away as the candles went flying at Kesenai. Kesenai couldn't react or even move for some reason. Before Kesenai knew it, he felt nothing, not one candle had stabbed him. He looked up to see James, holding a black and white katana.

"Idiot. You let your guard down. If it wasn't for me, you would've been killed. Looks like you still haven't changed that either." James sighed.

Kesenai growled "Why'd you get in the way?! Maybe I did want to die!"

James sighed "Did you forget the pact we made 6 years ago? To never get ourselves killed, for suicide is for the cowardly."

Kesenai's eyes widened slightly, remembering that pact "I'm sorry… I forgot about it…"

James laughed "Yeah, you always did have the worst type of memory."

Kesenai ignored that, "How'd you know where to find me?" Kesenai asked.

"I didn't, I stalked you and your lady friend here who tried just now to send you to your grave." James laughed.

"So you were the one that I felt was following me." Kesenai sweat dropped.

"Oh, and did you see that trail of bread crumbs?" James laughed.

"The trail of bread crumbs was you?!" Kesenai growled.

"Yup, I knew your bad sense of direction would still be in existence, so I left you that trail so you could find this restaurant."

Kesenai growled "Do you just assume that I'm a dumb ass?"

"You always were, and always will be." James laughed and looked at the Noah. "Hm.. A Noah. Oh well, Kesenai, you're going to see something about me that you may never forgive me for once I show I to you." James said as he put his katana back in it's sheath.

"What the hell are you--" Kesenai was cut off as soon as he saw James' skin changing to the color gray. "You're a Noah too…" Kesenai growled.

"Yes… Yes I am." James replied.
