Ravi sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day as he sat crouched against the wall outside the entrance leading to the infirmary. On the opposite wall, Kanda was leaning against it, his eyes closed in what one would assume to be concentration. Really though, he was just happy to be able to fight something after being trapped in this stupid school. True, Allen had come to them a few time about Akuma attacks, but they were few and in between. Not only that, but those fights were also ridiculously easy. Not even worth ten minutes of his time. So the bar fight came as a relief to him.

'General Tiedoll would cry if he could see how happy Yuu is.' Ravi thought, staring at the silent, but satisfied, swordsman.

"Do not mention that man." The cold voice took him by surprise. Ravi refocused his emerald eye on Kanda's dark blue ones.

"What? I didn't say anything!" The hammer happy boy protested.

"Che. Didn't have to stupid rabbit. I can hear you thinking about him from here." Kanda replied.

'Is Yuu-chan a mind reader? Tiedoll would-'

"Didn't I just tell you not mention him?" Kanda snapped at him, freaking him out even more. "And don't call me Yuu-chan."

"You can read minds? And you never told me? What the hell man?" Ravi whined to his friend. Kanda gave him what could possibly be the most disgusted look in the history of disgusted looks.

"Of course he can't read minds! Your face is just very open." A welcomed voice called out. "Kanda barely has enough brain power to do daily functions." Allen told Ravi with a happy smile as he trotted up to them.

"Are you looking to get decimated today?" Kanda growled at the pale exorcist, hand already on his sword.

"Temper, temper." Allen chided, wagging a finger. "And I believe a congratulations is in order; Kanda I'm so proud that you can use more complex words like 'decimated'. If I had I gold star on me, I would most certainly give it to you. Alas, I am starless." Allen said, wiping away a fake tear at the tragedy. "Another day then, yes?" He smiled.

"You are so dead-"

"Speaking of ugly no good drunks that do nothing but cause trouble, where is Professor Cross?" Allen asked, changing the subject like a pro. "Still laid up? Vomiting out his mistakes? Wait!" Allen gasped out in a tone of pure joy. "Is he dead?" Blue eyes sparkled at the thought.

"Ah, sorry not today." Ravi told him. "I mean he might be! Last I heard Madam Pomfrey was giving him a potion to sober him up. But he could have died anywhere in between! You never know." He said, panicking at how quickly the boy's bright expression turned to one of pure disappointment.

"Thanks for trying to cheer me up Ravi." Allen told him with such a beautiful smile that Ravi felt his heart melt. "I highly doubt he's dead; he's too much of a bastard to just drop dead on me. It is a nice thought though."

"And you say I'm the one who has problems?" Kanda grunted. "You're freakin' insane, Moyashi."

"Am I?" Allen asked with a raised eyebrow before smiling darkly. "You can honestly tell me you didn't want to murder him on the way back here?"

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. While Ravi and Kanda had managed to bring the man back, it hadn't been without hardship. Cross was just that good at pissing people off. Ravi had to stop Yuu from strangling him and in turn Kanda had to restrain Ravi from pushing the intoxicated general into the lake. There had been more, but Ravi didn't want to think of such black times. He had a taste of what Allen had to deal with for three years and the Bookman felt for him. The boy hadn't been joking when he said it was the worst years of his life.

"Allen, I've always respected you bab-" He cut himself off at Allen's evil smile. Calling him baby right now might result in serious injuries. "But my respect for you just went way up after bringing Professor Cross back. How you stopped yourself from killing him is beyond me."

"Hmm? What are you talking about? I've tried to kill him hundreds of time!" Allen laughed brightly. "Isn't that right, Tim?" He asked the golem that had come out to greet him.

"What?" Ravi croaked out as him and Kanda looked at the each other- shock written on their faces.

"Oh yes," Allen nodded. "One night he passed out so I figured I might as well give it a shot. Not like he was teaching me anything." He snorted. "I tried to strangle him with my bare hands, but at the time they were too small to go all the way around his neck. Bugger that, so then I tried bashing something against his head, but either I was still too weak or his head was harder than steel- I'd like to think it was the latter. Then I thought, 'Wait, why I'm trying so hard? He'll just drink himself to death!' but he didn't!" Allen yelled, as dark, haunted bags appeared under his eyes magically. "I spent at least 6 months filling him up, making sure he was in a stupor 24-7. I was so sure that his liver would fail him sooner or later, or that he would run out of brain cells. However, after scratching my head over the mystery of how his liver was perfectly fine- I took him to a doctor to check my results- I realized that man-whore that is my teacher somehow made his liver addicted to alcohol!" Allen told them, incredulity still in his voice at the discovery.

"And his brain?" Ravi asked, wishing he had a snack because this was getting interesting. If he had known Allen had such entertaining rants built up in him he would have asked years ago.

Kanda just looked constipated.

"His brain? His traitorous brain that allied with his liver?" Allen hissed. "Doc said it was flooded with so much alcohol it was actually using the stuff to support brain cells. He was so excited, saying it was a medical mystery for the times. I was ready and willing to sell Cross to him in the name of science, but the blasted man caught sight of a pretty woman and dragged me out before I could negotiate a price." The boy cursed, still nursing that particular grudge. "So then I figured if his whole being loved alcohol, I would just have to poison all the alcohol around him. Unfortunately, I didn't check my sources as well as I should have and ended up slipping an aphrodisiac in his wine. He had a lot of fun that night."

"Yes, that was a beautiful night." Cross said as he walked into the hall. "I still remember that blurred memory like it was yesterday." He gave a happy sigh.

"Please jump off a cliff." Allen told him pleasantly. "Your face frightens me and I can only see half of it."

"Brat!" The man snapped as he smacked the boy on the back of his head. "I teach you everything you need to survive and all you do to repay me is look stupid and try to kill me. If anyone got the shit end of the deal, it's me."

"I pay your debts." Allen reminded him.

"The only thing you're good for. Why are you here anyway? Shouldn't you be sleeping with the other wimps?"

"How rude!" Allen retorted, insulted. "I came to make sure you're all right-"

"Don't lie. I heard you asking if I had died. I'm telling you right now, if I go down I'm dragging you with me."

"-and that you didn't contract an STD." Allen finished.

"Whoa. You've had an STD before sir?" Ravi asked in awe.

"Once." Cross stressed. "Wasn't my fault." He muttered.

"What was it like?"

"Itched like a bitch. Idiot boy! Stop bringing up the past and get to bed before I lose control and slaughter you."

"Of course, 'cause you've done that so many times before-" Allen cut himself off when he felt his left eye activate. Immediately, everyone became serious. "I don't think we'll be getting much sleep tonight." Allen said as he began to walk briskly, the others following behind.

"How many brat?" Cross asked as they reached outside and began running.

"Too many to count, but they're all clustered in one area." Allen replied as they stepped thought the barrier. Dumbledore had made sure to key them all in so it wouldn't hold them back.

Finding the akumas had been easy. It was when they saw who was being held hostage that things became tense.

"What the hell?" Ravi muttered as he took in the sight of the three kids being man handled by an akuma.

"Hello again Harry." Voldemort greeted as he walked forward. "I haven't seen you in almost a year. Tell me, are you and Cedric still good friends?" The man asked cruelly.

"Shut up! Just shut up!" Harry hissed as he struggled on his binds.

"My, my, such impudence." Voldemort said softly before slapping the boy harshly and jabbing his wand to his throat.

"Tell me Potter," He started, "How does it feel knowing you're going to die tonight?"

"What? No torture?" Harry gritted out sarcastically.

"I would love nothing more than to watch you wither on the ground in pain." Voldemort admitted. "However, you seem to have a knack for escaping when I take that route, so I decide to just finish you off and be done with it." The serpent like man explained. "But before I send you off to meet your filthy mudblood mother and traitor father, I confess myself curious; what's it like, Potter, knowing that you are the reason your friends shall perish tonight because you simply could not stop yourself?"

Harry said nothing, just stared at the ground, unable to bring himself to look at Ron or Hermione.

"Very well then." Voldemort said after a moment of waiting. "Unlike you, I can live without knowing. Avada-"

"Wait!" Hermione's yell rang out, stopping everything, even the green glow of Voldemort's wand. "How could you do this Emily? What about your uncle? Don't you know what this man is? What he does?" Hermione called out to the girl who was standing by. "Have you no heart?" She cried.

"I never pegged you one for dramatic lines Her-mion-e." Rhode drawled out as she stepped closer to the girl. "Of course I know who he is and my name's not Emily and my 'uncle' is busy with something. I'm sure he'll drop by later. Oh, wait. Do you want my real name?. Rhode Kamelot at your service!" She said with a mock bow. "Hey, want me to tell you a secret?" She asked as she walked closer to the girl.

"I would watch the world burn before I repent for this." Rhode whispered in Hermione's ear before moving back.

"Don't let her ruin your concentration." Rhode grinned at Voldemort. "Kill that kid that's been a thorn in your side for so long. Come on! I really want to see this spell."

"Dear child, it would be my pleasure." But before he could utter another word, a white strip of fabric shot out of the darkness and wrapped around his wand, tugging it out of his grasp and sending it into the darkness. At the same time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione felt something cut them loose from the creature that had held them. It shrieked in pain but was quickly silenced when what looked like a glowing cross appeared on it, before it was destroyed.

"What is the meaning of this?" Voldemort hissed in rage.

"Oh-hoh! Looks like we have company~" Rhode sang as she jumped back, barley dodging one of those white belts that lashed at her. The golden trio, shocked at the series of events, found their freedom short lived as they were once again tied up and then dragged through the air at a fast pace.

"What on earth are these things?" Ron asked once they stopped moving.

"My belts are what just saved your lives." A familiar, musical voice told them. Following the voice and the belts, the trio saw they connected to a strange white cloak worn by one Allen Walker. Behind him stood Professor Cross holding a silver gun while his assistants both respectively held a hammer and a sword.

"Allen? I don't understand what-?"

"We'll talk later, alright? Now's not the time." Allen cut him off. Even though he was smiling, Harry could tell by his tone that he wasn't happy. "Stay here with Professor Cross. We'll take care of this." That said, the exchange student and the assistants began to move.

"Wait! That man out there, that's Voldemort! He'll kill you!" Harry rushed out before they got too far away.

"Oh?" Allen said impishly. Turning around, he gave them a dirty grin and tossed a wand to Harry. "He'll have a hard time without his wand." He giggled before jumping into the clearing.

"Who are you?" Voldemort asked looking at the three new comers with distaste on his features.

"We were just walking by and decided to pop by and say hello!" Ravi grinned while Kanda just grunted.

"Allen!" Rhode yelled as she lunged at him, intent on frenching the life out of him. Remember their last encounter, he quickly dodged to the side.

"Sorry, I no longer accept kisses forced upon me against my will." He said resolutely.

Meanwhile, somewhere deeper in the forest, Tyki stopped searching for the Innocence.

"Damn." He muttered.

"Something wrong Tyki-pon?" The Earl asked a few steps ahead.

"Nothing. Just got the feeling like I've just been denied the right to molest someone." The other said seriously, with a concerned look on his face.

". . .Tyki-pon is so odd."

"Aww." Rhode sniffed. "If you're going to be mean, then you can just die." She said with a sick smile, snapping her fingers. Immediately, all the motionless people began to moan as their skins ripped away and they took on different forms.

"Oh my god." Hermione gasped in horror. Ron paled at the sight before leaning over into some bushes to empty his stomach. "Sir, I don't understand. What's happening?" Hermione asked the man.

"I don't understand either, what's wrong with those people?" Harry questioned. He too felt disturbed when he saw how their skin ripped right off and those monsters came out.

"Do me a favor and shut up. I'm busy." The man snapped at them as he took aim at the monsters that had come to closer to them. The gun glowed slightly before he fired off several rounds. Each bullet hit true and the students watched on as the creatures were destroyed. Farther in the distance, they could see Allen using a very broad sword to cut through his opponents. The Japanese boy was also using a sword, only his let loose strange creatures, while the red head had a hammer that seemed to grow at will, using it to smash monsters into trees left and right.

"Where's Allen's arm?" Hermione asked in panic when she realized that the boy's arm was missing completely.

"What did I tell you about staying quiet?" Cross barked at her, firing off another round. Not liking the thought of just sitting there helplessly, the three held a silent conversation before nodding and raising their wands. They fired numerous spells and where shocked when all of them where deflected.

"Right, that's it!" Cross glared at them. "Next time you do something to distract me, I'm going to knock you out."

"We're just trying to help!" Harry snapped back.

"You're not even supposed to be out here!" The man yelled back, making them shrink backwards when he glared at them. "Look, you're in enough trouble as it is, so sit back, don't bother me, and for the love of women everywhere, let me do my job."

Voldemort was seething in anger as all the akuma around him where quickly getting killed. Soon, the only ones in the clearing where him, Rhode, and the three exorcists.

"What is the meaning of this?" He hissed at the girl. "I thought those useless machines were supposed to be indestructible!"

"Neh, neh, you don't listen well at all." Rhode replied, unconcerned at their current situation. "The Count said spells couldn't hurt them, silly snake man." She laughed.

Angry beyond belief but knowing he was out numbered. Voldemort decided right now was the time to retreat.

"We'll speak of this later." He snarled as he wandlessly called his wand back. It jumped out of Harry's back pocket and smacked itself into his hand. Without further thought, he apparated away in a blur of black.

Allen lifted his sword, ready to attack her when he stopped mid-step.

"What's wrong Allen?" Ravi asked as Allen stared into the darkness behind Rhode.

"Someone's here."

"Eh? How can you tell?" Rave asked looking into the forest and could only make out tree branches.

"I can see their outline." Allen said, never taking his eyes of the figure.

"You could focus on me, Allen." Rhode said sweetly as Tyki Mikk came out of the shadows to stand beside her.

'Bet Time!' Ravi and Allen thought at the same time staring hard at Tyki. Noticing their looks, Tyki decided to take them as a silent compliment toward his sexy figure. Fishing out a cigarette, he slowly brought it to his mouth.

"Yes, yes, yesyesyesyesyes, do it, do it!" Allen whispered under his breath, while Ravi muttered "No, no, no, no!"

Lighting the cig, he took a drag, looked at Allen, licked his lips, and purred; "Fancy meeting you here, darling."

"HAH!" Allen yelled, scaring everybody, while Ravi just clutched his head and groaned. "You owe me ten pounds, Ravi!" He said victoriously.

"Crap. I know, I know." The Bookman muttered before glaring at the confused Noah. "What the hell is wrong you? How hard would it have been to put that damn stick in your mouth after you perved out on my friend, huh?" Ravi raged at him.

"I'm. . .sorry?" Tyki asked, unsure of how to respond.

"If you're here to join in the fun you missed most of it." Rhode told him.

"Actually, I'm just here to tell you it's time to go. Earl's orders.

"Ok." The girl shrugged as she summoned her door. "You guys find the Innocence?"

"Not tonight. We'll try again another day." Tyki said as the door opened. Kanda rushed forward to stop them, but both Allen and Ravi stopped him. "I wish I could stay longer and get all nice a sweaty with you Allen." He told the boy with a creepy smile. "But it will have to be another day."

"Bye Allen!" Rhode said cheerfully as the door shut and vanished into thin air.

"What the hell?" Kanda roared at his comrades. "Why did you let them get away? Why'd you stop me?" He seethed.

"Calm down Yuu." Ravi said, still feeling slightly down over his lost bet. "Now isn't the time to fight a Noah. Not with the school so close."

"He's right. They can wait." Cross called. "Let's go back. I'm freezing my ass off." Stiffening, he glanced to the side and shot his foot out, tripping the three students that had tried to slip away under their invisibility cloak while the others were distracted.

"And where do you think you're going?" Cross asked in a dangerous tone.

"Back to our dormitories?" Ron answered weakly. Cross let loose a chuckle so sinister, they swore they saw a demon.

"I don't think so." He smiled viciously. "Try again."

"The infirmary?"

"Why don't you try the Headmaster's office, little rule breakers?"

"No, I think we're good." Harry said with a smile, which was wiped off immediately when Cross's hand flew across his face.

"Idiots! You have no idea how much shit you're in!" He yelled at them, ignoring the girl's gasp and the other boy's yell. "In case you've forgotten, you almost died tonight. You would have died if we hadn't shown up, so don't try to pretend this was no big deal. Now get moving." He ended in a dark voice.

It was silent all the way to Hogwarts. Once they reached inside, Cross sent the three exorcists to Pomfrey to check their wounds, while he marched Harry, Ron, and Hermione up to the Head Master's office.

"Here you go. I have a feeling you want to speak with them alone." Cross said gruffly after pushing them roughly inside before slamming the door.

Left alone with Professor Dumbledore, the three realized as they looked into the Headmaster's eyes that Professor Cross was right. They truly were in deep shit.

Bonus Chapter: Bring Sexy Back, Kanda!

Kanda Yu was training in the forest with a blind fold on when he heard it; the soft clicking noise and music.

I'm bringing sexy back

Them other boys don't know how to act

I think you're special, what's behind your back?

So turn around and I'll pick up the slack

Kanda growled as he ripped off his blind fold and walked towards the sound.

Take 'em to the bridge!

Dirty babe...

"RAVI!" He screamed as soon as he found the trouble making red head, who had been taking pictures of him.

"Yes, Yuu?" The stupid bunny asked innocently.

"What did I tell you earlier about-!"

"But YU! You don't understand! Women will pay a lot of money just to see your chest-"

"I DON'T CARE! I told you last time, you ARE NOT putting pictures of me on this internet thing just so you can have an extra bit of cash to pay off Moyashi." He told the other with a glare.

Look at those hips

Go ahead be gone with it

"Especially not with background music like THAT!" Kanda yelled.

"But Yu! I split whatever I make with you 50/50, besides I have to find a way to pay Allen for the bet I lost, it's not like-" Kanda smacked Ravi on the head as hard as he could.

"I don't care about your stupid bet." Kanda growled, his sword very close to Ravi's neck.

"Fine. I won't put up half naked pictures of you on the internet." Ravi said while looking put out.

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die." Ravi said cheerfully. Kanda nodded and went back to training. What he didn't know, was that Ravi had crossed his fingers behind his back and was once again taking pictures.

What Kanda didn't know wouldn't kill him.

"I'm bringing sexy back.."

End.
