Chapter III

Again.
He was back.
Again.
Damned white world.

The sparkles were all gone. But the floor was covered in lotus flowers.
There was no noise, no movie playing.
Everything was silent and calm.

He liked it.

This was a place where no on could disturb him.
Only he could come here.

Breathing was easier than before. It seemed like there was more oxygen in the air.

'Why does it feel so nice?' It felt like he could be living here forever. It was just like dreaming or sleeping. It was not real.

'Why is my mind so empty?' His voice echoed against the invisible fog.
He didn't know what to do.

If his memories really were comin' back, and that fucking sparkle had something to do with it, than should there be some clue about his brain. 'Cause this was his second time to use this brain. Before, he got killed by an Akuma and they transplanted his brain into a new, young body. His birth as a Second.

He was the only one who had survived the project. The was young and healthy, his body was strong and even without curse, he'd recover fast from his wounds.

He closed his eyes.
He was overwhelmed by the silence.

He wanted to see another an other fragment of his memories.

And suddenly a sparkle came out of one the lotus flowers.

'Finally.' He sighed. 'I'm not afraid of my past.' He said, and he touched the sparkle without hesitation.

This time, the movie started immediately. There wasn't first only the sound. He saw the teenage boy from the previous time, trying to follow Edgar and the two fast-walking Exorcists.

He was already covered with scratches, and he had totally run out of energy.
'Hé, when can I get some rest?' He barked.

One of the Exorcists turned around and answered: 'We're almost at the train station.'

'We have already past eight train stations! Why couldn't we get on train by one of them? It's the same railway! Oh! But yeah! You guys are so stupid! Thinking you're way better than normal humans! I hate your kind!'

'Calm down, Yu…' Edgar began.

'Do. Not. Use. My. First. Name!'The teen yelled.

'Calm down! Do you think we like to take innocent children away by their parents to make fighting machines of them? To make them fight in our war between us and the Earl? We're humans too! We also have feelings!'

'Don't act like that! I already said I hate your kind! I'm not a child anymore! I'm fifteen!'

'Deep inside of us, we all stay a bit childish.'

'Well I don't! I left my past there! I can't go back!' He stretched his arm backwards, where his parents still were.

home

No.

It wasn't his home anymore. He had no home.

He was going to a scary place, called the Black Order. It sounded dark and mysterious.

Finally they reached the station. But instead of waiting for the next train to get up, the Exorcist went underground to another, hidden railway.

'Just what the hell is this?'
No one answered but just pushed the teen into the carriage and closed the doors.
When they had took a seat, Edgar began: 'This is a secret railway, only used by Exorcist and their Finders. It will go overground over a couple of kilometres and lead us to the Organization.'

'How do you feel right now? Proud?' Kanda asked on an ironic tone.

'No I don't. Try t o sleep a little, soon we're going to walk another twenty kilometres, because the railway stops a while before the Order, 'cause there are rocks in the way and also, we don't want normal humankind to come there. It's dangerous. The Order attracts Akuma.'

'We're still in Asia right? This is no magic-teleport-train or something like that?' He raised one eyebrow while asking.
'This is no fairytale, Y… Kanda.' Edgar corrected himself right on time.

'Sadly.' The teen turned his head away from the other people and tried to sleep. The seats were soft, warm and comfortable.

The Kanda who was watching all this, the almost twenty years old one (physical), couldn't believe his eyes. That secret railway was closed almost twelve years ago!

This really was his past…

Suddenly, it seemed like someone pressed a 'forward'-button on a video recorder. The movie played fast forward.

When it was back to normal, the teen waked up. The train was above the ground again. The view was awesome. There were giant rocks everywhere and a river was flowing on the left side of the train.

'We're almost there. Get ready to get out of train.'

The young teen sighed. 'Tsch.'
The watching Kanda smiled. Tsch-ing was something even dead couldn't erase.

'We have to jump off. The train doesn't stop, it goes back underground and there it turns 180 degrees and goes back to the station.'

'Are you saying there's no station here? The train does just drive in full speed further? Are you serious?'

'I'm afraid I am.

'Fuck. You've gotta be kidding me.'

'Half a minute before we've to jump, chief.' One of the exorcists said.

'Come on Kanda. You'll never forget about this awesome moment.' Everyone stand up and Edgar opened the doors. 'Three, two, one… now!'

All of them jumped of the train, just before it went back underground.

'That was a close one.' Edgar smiled.

The teen sighed. He had just risked his life for becoming something he doesn't want to be.
They left for anther twenty miles. Towards the Asian Branch.

The Kanda who was listening, saw that the Exorcist wanted to say something, but all of a sudden, there was someone from outside his mind screaming.

'NEAH! DON'T! MANA!

The samurai shocked awake. 'Goddamned Moyashi!' He yelled.

But then he saw Moyashi was vomiting blood.

'Moy...' He whispered.
