A/N: sorry for the late update! in this chapter we see a new development with Chisa, what the Noah's might be up to. I hope you enjoy :)
Lavi: pov:
I walk into the cafeteria to get my usual meal, walk over to the table and see Allen, Lenalee talking to each other.
"hey what are you two talking about?" I smile as I sit down
"huh? Oh nothing Lavi" Lenalee smiles sweetly
"but you two were just talking about something" I say confused.
"its nothing Lavi. Just talking about how nice the weather is" Lenalee smiles
those two are acting strange...
"so hows Chisa doing?" Allen asked
"in the library sleeping" I replied
"the library?" Lenalee asked
"yeah I told gramps about her going unconscious two times yesterday. So he wanted her to sleep in there so if anything strange happens he can check" I replied
"ah well I hope she's okay" Lenalee says
"me too..I still find it strange that the Noah's keep coming after her" I say
"did Bookman say anything?" Allen asked
"not much that will help it would make sense. What really bothers me is what Road said about her" I say
"what did she say?" Allen asked
"she found it funny that we're protecting Chisa when we don't know the real Chisa" I replied.
"the real Chisa? Did you tell Bookman?" Lenalee asked.
I didn't respond because im deep in thought but snapped out of it when they both broke the silence.
"I'm going to train!" Allen says sitting up really fast.
"I'm going to see if brother needs anything" Lenalee says doing the same.
"wait! Can I ask you two something?" I asked
"of course" Lenalee says
"I was thinking if the Noah's are going to keep coming after her in this pattern and we're not there to help her. She's going to need to get stronger" I said.
"want us to help her train?" Allen asked
"yeah" I replied
"we can do that" Lenalee smiles
Allen?" I ask looking at him.
"yes Lavi?" he asked with his shota smile.
"do you know where general Cross would be?" I asked.
Allen's smile soon turned into a frown at the sound of his masters name being mentioned.
"probably at a bar why?" he asked
"I was thinking maybe he could also help Chisa train" I replied
"I highly doubt that. The most he would do is hand me more debts to pay off, leave again. I don't want that..I still have about 300 more to pay" he says
"how do you pay them all?" Lenalee asked shocked
"by playing poker against the finders and anyone really" Allen smiles a little evil as he is about to go black.
"we still got a chance.. Chisa is a girl, we know how he is.." I say but shiver at the thought of that.
"that's another reason I don't want to him to come...I'm afraid he might try something with Chisa" Allen says frowning.
"good point. He'll be last choice if we have to. I'll ask another general in the mean time" I say
"Lavi if you don't want her to get too injured. Try general Klaud or Tiedoll" Lenalee suggested.
"alright thanks Lenalee" I say.
Tyki pov:
we make it back to the little library room that we stay in and I gently put Road down on a chair who is already asleep.
Damn we were so close to getting her back. What went wrong? Road could easily show someone their memories so why is it different with her? Unless something is preventing road from showing her the memories..road said she heard a low pitch sound but it was loud and if the Earl is right about him being the one that erased her memory it must have been that instrument.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"oh hello lord millennium" I smile.
"hello Tyki. How is getting the girl back going?" he asked
always to the point can't we just chat or give me some tips?
"er...not successful my lord" I say seeing the disappointment in his face.
"try harder Tyki. I'm getting very impatient" he says
"yes lord millenium. It's those damn exorcist getting in the way" I say crossing my arms.
"using Lulubell can be helpful" he says leaving.
Lulubell? How can I...oh that's right. How could I forget..she can transform into any living being. I just have to think of a plan first.
Normal pov:
Lavi walks into the library to check on how Chisa is doing.
"hey gramps" he says
"hello Lavi" Bookman says
"how's Chisa" Lavi asked
"she sound asleep. Nothing seemed wrong so Chisa is going to be okay" he replied.
"alright that's good. I thought of way to help Chisa get stronger" Lavi says
"you were actually thinking?" Bookman asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"very funny gramps" Lavi said a little annoyed at what he said.
"what was your idea?" he asked
"she could train with the other generals and" Lavi startled.
"there is a problem with your idea. The generals might be on a mission and who knows when either general will return" Bookman interrupted.
"I know I thought of that too. I was going to say before you interrupted me..that me or the others could train her if generals aren't available" Lavi says.
"very well. But have the others train her you have reports to do" Bookman says.
"alright..." Lavi sighs
he looks at Chisa as she moans softly, starts to wake up and open her eyes.
"hey Lavi..." she smiles.
"hey you feeling better?" Lavi smiles
"much" she says
"alright up for some training?" Lavi asked, she nods.
"you have reports to do" Bookman reminds him
"I know gramps! I'm just taking chisa to the others" Lavi says
he leads Chsia over to Allen's room and knocks he opens it smiling.
"what is it?" he asked
"can you train Chsia today?" Lavi asked
"huh? Sure...i can do that. But why can't you train herself?" Allen says
"i have reports to do" he sighs
"oh okay. I'll train with Chisa" Allen says
"thanks Allen. Chisa when your done come and find me okay? I want to hear about how it went" Lavi says, Chisa nods as he leaves.
"alright follow me Chisa" allen smiles,Chisa nods following allen
OoOoOoO
Chisa pov:
we arrive at the training ground and Allen turns to me and I look at back at him with concerned serious eyes.
"something on your mind?" Allen asked noticing this serious expression
"Krory told me that you and the others had a battle with the Noah's before meeting me.." I starts
"yeah we did. What about it?" he asked confused to why im talking about this.
"did something happen to Lavi?" I asked.
"hmm if I remember right. Road had her deadly candles pointed at me, Lenalee then said if don't want those candles to stabbed by them cause I remembered how painful they are. I had to stand and wait while she breaks Lavi's mind for hurting Tyki..." Allen started
break his mind? Maybe that's what I saw...
"then after waiting. The box he was in broke...he had this different expression along with a strange tattoo under his right eye...something I havent seen before. Then he stated to attack me as if he didn't recognize me..i asked why he was attacking me cause we were friends, he answered I am not your friend. After we both fought each other and I think I managed to get him back..he tried to burn himself with Hiban but I stopped him and he was okay again" Allen says.
My eyes widen in shock as the words "just paper and ink. Part of history, exist on the sidelines and belong to nothing" report in my head.
that's what was happening in his head. So this is all an act or is he our friend? No I can't believe it...that look on his face when all that was happening was sad..
I kept thinking about not wanting to believe what the Bookman in his head had said was true. Then Allen broke my thoughts
"huh?" I asked
"why do you asked?" Allen asked, I look down and explain. "hmm..that's probably what Road was doing, explains why Lavi had said Bookman would be mad at him back then..but I couldn't know if thats what he meant..you would have to ask him about it"
I look down thinking could I possibly bring myself to ask him that? What if it was a difficult subject for him to talk about? I shake my head, look up at allen determined.
"im ready" I say
"huh?" he asked confused.
"training" I replied
"oh! Okay, we're going to work on hand to hand combat" he says getting in a fighting stance, I do the same.
Allen smiles and runs at toward me then throws a punch but I dodged it quickly, he throws more punches at me making it harder to dodge each hit. So I block it managing to keep my footing balanced and strong, use all my strength I could gather and push him back a little, surprise him as he jumps back.
"that was good Chisa. Surprise is a good element in a fight against a opponent. But if your fighting against the Noah's its going to take a lot more than that" Allen says, I nod."now try and strike me"
I look at him carefully analyzing his expression, movements trying to read him like a book then smile, I run toward Allen as he prepares for the attack, I began to run in zigzags really fast, he watches me carefully trying to keep an eye on where I am then I strike at his side quickly but he blocks it in time, I send another strike at his stomach but he blocks that one too. I smile pushing him back a little as I put all my weight on my feet then pushes up using Allen as an extra push as I left up into the ground making him lose his balance a little as I hover in the air above him, quickly pull my hands away from him, put them on his shoulder, push him down as I come up behind him and punch his back making him go flying into the wall but he spins a little to change his position and push his feet against the wall, flies toward me about to use both his hands for the attack but I grab both making him stop, I lift him up above me then throw Allen down on the ground, smile at him while he looks shocked.
"h-how did you do that?" he asked
"i don't know.."i replied
"well I can say you did good. Lets try this now fighting with my innocence" Allen smiles getting up slowly.
"alright" I say.
"crown clown!" he yells as a fancy silver masquerade mask hovers near his head, falls just right where his eyes are, covers them, a white flowing coat drops down on his shoulders gently, his hand grows long black nails. I stare at him amazed as if I was staring at a white god, Allen smiles at me. "ready Chisa?"
"yes!" I replied.
"clown edge!" he says as small crown shape rings surround his fingers and swings his arm in the direction im in and the rings fly toward me but I run towards him as I dodge the little rings and come near him then grab his hand, throw him down toward the ground but Allen has part of his coat grab a nearby pillar, pull himself toward it, swings to land on the ground near her, jumps back a little.
"good let's try again" he smiles, I nod. "clown edge!"
he lashes his arm to the right making the rings come toward me but I run in a zig zag motion toward him and now only im an inch apart from him but he jumps back.
"clown belt!" he yells as part of his coat extends toward me.
I duck down quickly but grab the extended coat, pull him toward me with his face in shock but recovers.
"clown grave!" he yells as a explosion with a centered cross appears in front of me but I let go and quickly jump back.
We both breathe heavily as the exhaustion starts to take effect on our bodies.
"ready to call it a day?" Allen asked.
"sword fight" I replied.
"huh?" Allen asked confused by my answer
"lets use swords now" she said.
"okay.." Allen says.
Normal pov:
He uses his right hand to grab his wrist and pulls back as most of his arm becomes a sword with a cross engraved in it, this overwhelming power comes from allen. she gulp wondering if this was a bad idea but look at Hyoku who stares at her, she wonders if what happened at the train was real then maybe she could try it again. She holds out my hand to Hyoku who got on his hind legs as he turns into a sword that a has a rope that looks like a tail and wraps around her arm like a vine, she suddenly feel that overwhelming power again almost matching Allen's.
"it did happen" she says
"ready?" Allen asked
"y-yeah" she says lifting her arm and grab the handle with her other hand.
Allen charges at her swings his sword at Chisa but she block it quickly as she felt his overwhelming power hit her, the overwhelming power she has pulsating through her, a screeching noise starts in her head as a low growl comes from Chisa, surprising Allen as she push him back, sends him flying, lauch herself at him swinging her sword, hitting him, reminding allen of the painful blast that Tyki Delivered during their fight in the arc fight, until Allen couldn't take it anymore and manages to block her attack, push her back as they both land on the ground.
"Chisa lets take a break" he pants heavily
she doesn't respond but goes into a low crouching position, glares at Allen as she growls, surprises him.
"Chisa?" he asked
"well isn't this an interesting battle" a voice says as a tall man with long red hair, wearing a half mask over his face comes around the corner, snaps Chisa out of it.
