Chapter 76- The Noah's- Daisya

I opened my eyes to find myself standing on a lawn outside of a large house. I heard people laughing and looked to my left to see Davi and Jeasdero walking around in a circle. They didn't seem to notice me. In fact, every Noah that I saw didn't seem to notice me.

Suddenly I felt myself flying backwards. I saw rolling hills, an eerie swamp, and a sign that read: "Welcome to our island!" I found myself flying over the ocean and onto the island where the new building for the Black Order stood. I flew into the Order, ad past everyone until I landed in my own body.

I gasped and bolted up right. I felt someone grab my hand and looked up to see Lenalee standing there, worry written on her beautiful face.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I think I just had an out of body experience," I said. She seemed to calm down at that. She sat on the edge of my bed and hugged me.

"They're scary, aren't they?" she asked.

I nodded and hugged her. I didn't realized until that moment just how cold I was. Lenalee was warm and smelled nice. I felt her hand on the square scar on my back. She was tracing her fingers over it.

"What did you see?" She asked.

"I think I know where the Noah are hiding." I told her everything I had seen.

Lenalee sighed. "Do you really think they're only an island over?"

"I don't know," I admitted. "However, it seems as good of a place to look for them as any."

Lenalee remained silent. Her head was bent and her hair was covering her face. I put my hand under her chin and made her look at me. Here eyes were full of fear.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm scared," She whispered. Her voice cracked. "I don't want to lose anyone any more. If we do go to that island and discover that it's the Noah's home, then what? We'll be plunged into a battle that no one wants to go through- not now especially. Daisya, if we do this, then it could mean that a lot of our friends would die." She started to cry.

I hugged her again. "It'll also mean that it could be the end of a war. If we find the Noah's home, we could take them down and no one would have to fight anymore. It could finally be the ending of this." I kissed her head as she started to sob harder.

After a while, I had finally calmed Lenalee down. Once she was calm, I went to Komui about my dream.

"It's probably just a dream," Leverrier said.

"I don't think is," Komui said. He stood up. "Innocence seems to affect the exorcist's dreams constantly. They always seem to know where to go from dreams. It probably showed Daisya where the Noah's are staying. I say we take the chance."

Leverrier seemed to think about this for a moment. "Very well. Send Arisa Lane, Yuu Kanda, Allen Walker, and Lenalee Lee on this mission. Oh, and of course you will be going, Berry."

I nodded. "I'll go get ready." I exited the room. Great, I thought. He's sending the people that he hates the most on this mission. He wants us to die!

I bumped into Lenalee and we both crashed to the ground. I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

She giggled and quickly kissed me. "It's fine."

I felt someone grab my hair and haul me to my feet. "Ow!" I yelled. "What the hell, Kanda?"

Kanda didn't answer. He just threw me against the wall and walked off. I knew that it was a warning to never fall onto of Lenalee again. I stuck my tongue out at the back of his head. Somehow, he knew what I was doing, and gave me the finger.

"What was that all about?" Allen asked as he and Arisa walked up.

"It's Kanda being Kanda," I said.

"Does anyone know what this mission's going to be?" Arisa asked.

"Yep," I said. I walked away before anyone could ask any questions.

"I can't believe we're doing this," Lenalee muttered. She had her head in her hands. We were in a little boat on our way to the other island that I saw in my dream.

"I don't like this idea," Allen said.

"No one does," Kanda said. He was twirling a pocketknife around. If it was anyone else, I would be terrified about the action. However, I knew that Kanda could handle blades well.

"If they were just across the way this whole time, I'm going to flip out," Arisa said.

I wrapped my arms around Lenalee and kissed her cheek. "It's going to be ok." She didn't answer.

"Why would Leverrier send us if it was only in a dream?" Arisa asked.

"I've been thinking about that recently," Allen said. "When the Fourteenth came and attacked Mana, he said that there was a traitor in the Order."

Everyone looked at him. "Do you think Leverrier's the traitor?" I asked.

"Maybe," he said. "It kind of makes sense. If we get ambushed, I'm blaming him."

"Same," we all agreed.

A while latter, we were on the island. Sure enough, the sign "Welcome to our island" was there.

"That's really creepy!" I exclaimed. "That was in my dream."

"Yep, they live here," Allen said. "I can feel their power."

"Shit," I muttered. I looked at everyone. "Looks like this is the best time to say-?"

Lenalee slapped me. "We aren't saying goodbye!" She yelled.

"I wasn't going to say that!" I snapped. "I was going to say that it's a good time to say good luck!"
Lenalee's face went bright red. She looked at the ground and started to shake. I sighed and hugged her.

"We're not saying goodbye," I whispered. "This isn't the end- I promise."

"Don't make promises you don't know if you can keep," She muttered. Still, she hugged me back. She was silently crying.

"Group hug!" Arisa yelled. She tackled Lenalee and I with a hug and pulled Allen and Kanda into it as well.

"I'm squished," Lenalee said. We all started to laugh-Kanda no included. When we let go of each other, I looked at everyone.

"We'll get through this, I know we will," I said.

"I agree," Allen said. He smiled.

"Same," Lenalee and Arisa said.

Kanda simply nodded.

We all smiled and headed into the dark swamp.

We reached the top of a hill and saw the same, large, white house that was in my dream. I dropped own and started to army crawl down the hill.

"What the hell are you doing?" Kanda asked.

"I'm being sneaky," I said in hushed tone. "Come on."

I heard the others walking behind me. I sighed and stopped. "You guys are lame."

"Doesn't that hurt?" Allen asked.

"No," I said. I continued to army crawl. When we got near the house, everyone else dropped down to keep out of sight. We hid behind a bush. Through the branches, I could see all of the Noah talking and hanging out. They looked like a normal family. It made me sad to have to destroy their family.

I pushed the thoughts aside. These people had killed a lot of my family. I wasn't going to show sympathy to them.

"Look at what I found!" Allen quietly exclaimed. He pulled a branch from a nearby tree around to show us a secret passage. We could fit through it if we army crawled.

"Nice, kid," I whispered. I watched as everyone else crawled through the passage and I followed them. It was a twisty path that stepped upwards.

Finally, the passage opened up so that we were able to crawl on our hands and knees. I saw light shining through a grate. I peered in it and saw Lavi and Bookman chained in chairs. My eyes widened and I slapped Allen's foot. He looked back at me and I pointed to the grate. He looked and his eyes widened.

"Guys," He whispered. "We found Lavi and Bookman!"

The others stopped and crawled back to us. "How do we get out of here?" Allen asked.

"Move," Kanda said. We all did. He used his pocketknife to unscrew the grate. He slid it over and crawled out of the passage. Slowly we all followed him. I was last.

Lenalee ran over to Lavi and knelt down. "Lavi," She whispered.

Lavi made an odd noise and moved his head. I knelt down next to Lenalee as he opened his green eye.

"It's not going to work," He muttered. "I know it's not really them. Besides, Daisya is dead."

"You wish," I said. I flicked him in the ear like I had done ever since he came to the Order.

"He's already injured- he doesn't need to be in more pain!" Arisa snapped at me and hit my head.

"No way," Lavi muttered. "It really is you."

"What?" Allen asked.

"Get out of here," Bookman said. He looked in a little better than Lavi did. However, he looked sick and frail, as if the slightest touch would make him crumble to dust.

"We're not leaving without you," Lenalee muttered. She tried to pull the chains around Lavi's wrist off, but it didn't work. It actually seemed to make the chains grow tighter. Lavi let out an agonized groan.

"I'm so sorry!" Lenalee exclaimed. She let the chains go.

"That wasn't the worst I've dealt with," Lavi said. Despite all the pain he was in, he smiled.

That brought tears to Lenalee's eyes. She slowly stood up and carefully hugged him. "I'm so glad you're alive," She said. She then hugged Bookman.

"How do we get them out?" Allen asked.

"Leave that to me," I said. I touched one of chains around Lavi's wrist and focused on what I wanted it to do. I imagined it unlocking and unraveling itself from Lavi's skin. I imagined it falling to the ground. The chain did what I commanded it to.

"How did you-" Allen was cut off by Lavi smiling at him.

"Good you see you again, Kid," He said.

"And it's great to you again, Jr.," Allen said.

I quickly did the same magic trick on the rest of the chains binding both of the bookmen. Lavi sighed of relief.

"Thanks," He said. He tried to stand up but fell back down. I caught him.

"Let me help you," I said. I helped him stand. It took both Lenalee and I to keep him upright.

Kanda picked Bookman up. Surprisingly, the old man didn't argue.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Allen asked. "We can't go the same way we came without leaving them here."

"We'll have to sneak out," I said. "We'll have to go out the back door. Or a window."

"Why a window?" Allen asked.

Lenalee and Arisa smiled at me. Together we said, "Because doors are for people with no imagination."

Allen looked really confused. Finally he shook his head. "I'm not even going to ask."

"It would be better if you didn't," A voice said behind us. I looked over my shoulder to see Tyki Mikk and the twins standing in the doorway.

"Yep, I blame Leverrier," Allen muttered.

"So, you finally figured that out, huh?" The Fourteenth asked, walking through the door. He waved his hand, and we all went flying into the walls. Lavi and Bookman fell to the ground, unable to get up.

The Fourteenth walked over to Lenalee. "It's a pity you had to be an exorcist," He said. He pushed the hair in her face behind her ear and rested his hand on her cheek. "You would have made a beautiful queen of the Noah. Of course, we could always destroy your innocence and wipe your memory of the Order. That could work."

I felt anger flare up inside of me as he ran a finger over her lips. Lenalee's mouth opened and crashed down on his finger. The Fourteenth yelped and tore away from Lenalee. He held his finger, which was now bleeding.

"That will never happen," Lenalee snarled.

"Very well then," The Fourteenth said. "Take them to the pool."

"Including the Bookmen?" Tyki asked. The Fourteenth nodded. He grabbed Lenalee by the back of the neck and Lavi by the hair and dragged them out of the room. Tyki grabbed my arm and Allen's, Jasdero grabbed Arisa's arm and Davi grabbed Kanda's hair and Bookman's arm. We were all dragged out of the room and through the large house. Suddenly, the scenery changed and we were in a large room filled with akuma and Noah.

I tried to break out of Tyki's grip, but he sent some sort of pain shooting up it. I fell to my knees. Tyki continued to drag me. Finally, we stopped in front of a pool of purple water. The Fourteenth dropped Lavi onto the ground and grabbed Arisa from Jasdero. "What do you think we should do with these two lovely ladies?" he asked.

"Throw them into the pool," Tyki said. There was a loud agreement from the crowd.

"Any other suggestions?" the Fourteenth asked. No one said a thing. "Very well, the pool it is." He pushed the girls towards the purple water. They were both fighting him, but nothing they did seemed to hurt him.

With a smile on his face, the Fourteenth tossed Lenalee and Airsa into the water. They landed with large splashes and didn't resurface.
