I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner, I've been incredibly busy.

After everyone was packed the three exorcists meet for at the dock.

"Okay guys, Komui asked to brief you on the rest of the details of this mission. So I'll do that once we're on the boat over to Germany. Unfortunately we'll all be in the same cabin so keep your intimacy at a minimum please." Lavi sighed and climbed into the gondola.

"We'll behave right Kanda?" Allen asked, following Lavi into the boat.

"We could just kick him out of the cabin for a while." Kanda muttered and sat down next to Allen.

The finder in charge of the gondola pushed away from the dock. Once a distance from the order they left the finder and began heading towards the port. Large ships littered the harbor. Most of them cargo ships bringing goods into the country. After walking a small way away from the cargo ships the small group spotted a finder.

"Hi, names Adam I'll be joining you on your mission. The ship that they have set for Germany is this way. After we arrive it'll be about fifty or so miles to Celle from the nearest port." Adam explained while guiding them to the ship.

"At least it's not any further, the sooner we can get to this kid the better." Lavi smiled.

The group boarded the ship and got themselves settled into their small for bunk cabin.

"Okay, Adam why don't you tell us what the girl is like that we're looking for. You are the only one word talked to her." Lavi spoke seriously, it was best for everyone to know what they were getting into.

Adam cleared his throat, "Lilly is a very peculiar girl, she's been an orphan for the last three years, she's seven years old. According to the other townspeople said that her father went crazy and killed his wife and her infant son while she watched. Unfortunately he quickly turned his blade on Lilly, he stabbed her about 10 before someone stopped him. The part of that story that clued us in on her was the next part."

Everyone's face was pale and somewhat horror stricken.

"According to the witnesses. The blood from her wounds gathered to a center point, and formed a long spike that impaled her father who then turned to ash. They were so terrified, they ran out and to furthest point of the village. The few brave souls that went back, saw that her blood returned and formed some kind of stitches along the cuts. All this happened while she was unconscious." Adam finished.

"Holy shit..." Kanda and Lavi mumbled in unison.

"Can blood even be turned into a innocence weapon?" Allen asked

"Well its entirely possible, with how little we know about the parasite type there are still too many unknowns." Lavi replied, thinking back to what happened to Krory. "The real question is where would she have encountered the innocence to even merge with her blood."

"When I spoke with her, she was very reserved and quiet. She led me to a small wood cutters she'd in the forest at the edge of the village. She'd been living there since her family died. From what I can tell she's been attacked constantly. The shed is barely there and the area is tainted with Akuma's blood." Adam finished and laid back on his bed.

Everyone was silent the waves crashed against the wood hull of the boat.

After a few uneventful days at sea and on the carriage ride to Celle. The small village was almost deserted.

"We aren't too late are we?" Lavi asked eyeing the desolate area.

"No, with all the Akuma in the area people rarely go outside. They don't trust each other or strangers." Adam sighed. " this place use to be so peaceful, I lived a few villages over to the west."

Allen glared, his eye reacted to something nearby. "Keep on your toes this village is crawling with Akuma about fifty level ones and ten level twos from what I can see."

"Sounds fun. I've been itching to kick some ass." Kanda grinned and cracked his knuckles.

"Most of them are in the woods over there, a few are scattered in the town. We should probably hit the big group first." Allen finished and showed the others the area of the woods the majority was in.

"Let's get this over with." Kanda sighed and pulled mugen from its sheath. Leaning over towards Allen he purred into Allen's ear "I have a cute little Moyashi to eat." Then he nibbled Allen's earlobe.

Allen of course turned bright red, as much as he like Kanda be so sweet to him, he wished his partner wouldn't tease him while they were working.

"Geez let's just go before Allen explodes from embarrassment." Lavi groaned and started to walk to the woods.

sorry this was kind of short, there will be more action in the next few chapters. The battle of Celle will be very big and Lilly will finally come into play. I'm more than happy to ask any questions about little Lilly if anyone is curious.
