Okay this chapter will be a little more exciting, with a little bit of twist. Unfortunately I didn't receive any oc's from anyone so I just kinds made one up. Anyway now back to the story.

Shopping was very uneventful, Lavi was trying to put Lilly in the most outrageous outfits physically possible. Lenalee was having a hard time convincing Lilly that she could get new clothes, Lilly was more than happy with wearing Lenalee's old clothes. It didn't bother her that they were hand me downs. In the end they bought some shirts and pants for her along with a pair of sturdy shoes.

"Phew I'm glad that's over. You know normal girls would love to go shopping for clothes." Lavi sighed.

"Hehe I haven't been normal for a long time. I don't want to be either, besides it's because I'm abnormal that I got to meet everyone in the first place." Lilly grinned.

"She's got you there Lavi, besides being normal would be boring anyway." Lenalee giggled. "Let's get to the orphanage they could use these blankets, it's supposed to get really cold tonight."

"Did you make those Lena?" Lavi asked, looking at the blankets closer.

"Yeah I make one when I can sleep, helps me to relax." She smiled.

The three approached the small orphanage that was connected to a small church with a side yard littered with aged headstones. Dispite the graveyard the area wasn't as heavy as expected.

"Father Blake is the one who looks after the children. Most of these kids lost their parents to Akuma." Lenalee explained.

"... Is this where I'm going to live now?" Lilly asked, her gaze aimed at the ground.

"Don't worry squirt, you're staying with us, besides Allen and Kanda would kill us if we left you here." Lavi grinned.

"I'm sorry if I made it seem like we were leaving you Lilly, can you forgive me?" Lenalee spoke softly.

"Of course I forgive you, it's just my stupid brain making me think that." Lilly giggled.

Lavi knocked on the door, Father Blake answered after a few moments. He was a tall man a few inches taller than Lavi. His face was very defined, he had to be in his late twenties. His short brown hair curled around his face.

"Hello Father Blake, I brought you a few more blankets, I hear it's supposed to get very cold tonight." Lenalee smiled and handed him the blankets.

"How very kind of you Lenalee, would you like to come in? I'm sure the children would like to thank you. Oh? Who's this little one, will she be staying with us?" He spoke softly, his voice was light and peaceful.

"No she's staying with us, she has kind of already been adopted." Lenalee explained.

"I'm Lilly, nice to meet you Father Blake." Lilly smiled, trying to make the best impression she could.

The children inside must have been listening in on the conversation, they were suddenly surrounded by a mass of children around Lily's age.

"Lilly do you want to play tag with us!?" Multiple voices rang out.

"S-sure" she mumbled, very overwhelmed by the shear account of children that surrounded her.

The horde of children pulled Lilly back inside the church to play. Leaving Lavi, Lenalee and Father Blake with big grins on their faces. Soon the church erupted with yelling and squealing as the game of tag grew more intense. Prompting the three adults to return inside.

Much to all of the childrens surprise, Lilly had no idea how to play tag, they had to explain the rules to her. As expected Lilly was it quite a bit. Though she didn't mind, she gladly chased the others around the benchs.

"This is the first time I've seen her act like a kid." Lavi smiled.

"Is she er special like the two of you?" Father Blake asked softly.

"Yes, that's why I brought her along, she hasn't been treated like a normal child in a long time." Lenalee explained.

"I see, things must have been hard for her." Father Blake sighed. "It's a shame these innocent children are subjected to such evils."

"I'm bored of tag let's play something else!" A voice rang out above the other children. The voice belonged to a boy around twelve years old. His thick dirty blond hair stuck up off of his head, face was slightly pudgy, red seemed to naturally coat his cheeks.

"Tommy but we were all having fun! Just cause you are the oldest doesn't mean you are in charge!" A small slender girl in braids spoke up.

"Yes it does Madison, now I wanna play Russian roulette" Tommy finished.

"How do you play that?" Lilly spoke up.

"It's easy everyone grabs a stick from the cup who ever gets the stick with the red end losses." Madison explained to Lilly. " Tommy usually wins thats why he likes to play it. "

"Oh okay that sounds fun." Lilly grinned.

Tommy retrieved the cup full of sticks from a toy chest. Everyone grabbed a stick making sure to keep the ends covered. "Okay now who's got the red stick?" Tommy spoke gleefully.

Lilly was the unfortunate recipient of the red stick.

"Aww sorry Lilly better luck next time." The children murmered.

"Too bad Lilly you're out." Tommy spoke pointing his finger at Lilly in the shape of a gun. " BANG!" he yelled. A loud crack echoed through the church. Fresh blood began to run from a fresh bullet hole in Lilly's left shoulder. Tommy's face had swirled into the muzzle of a gun. "Ha stupid exorcist! I can't believe you actually fell for that!"

"Shit! Run kids!" Lavi yelled. The children scattered, ultimately fleeing the church. Father Blake herded the children away from danger. Lilly continued to stand still, frozen in fear.

"Lilly move!" Lenalee yelled, unfortunately her voice didn't reach her. She fell back onto the floor, laying still.

"Not so tough now are you little exorcist. You stink like them, but you aren't nearly as tough." Tommy spat.

"Lilly move!" Lavi yelled.

Several cracks echoed through the church. Causing Lenalee and Lavi to duck for cover. Lilly unfortunately was struck with three more bullets. One in each leg and another in the stomach. Small black stars crept from the wounds slowly consuming her quickly paling skin. Tommy towered over Lilly's small body, foot stepping harshly.

"Now be a good little exorcist in training and die." Tommy dug his heel further into her chest.

"You make me sick... Tommy missed you enough to try and bring you back...now look at what you've become..." Lilly hissed, the blood spilling from her wounds had managed to snake undetected up the akuma's legs and around his body. "The funny thing about me...the more I bleed the stronger I get." The moment those words left her mouth the blood surrounding them pooled into spikes, then forcing them through the Akuma's body.

"Be a good boy and go back where you belong!" She yelled before the spikes tore the Akuma's apart from the inside out. The Akuma's body turned to ash and coated the floor and the bloodied Lilly.

Lenalee and Lavi rushed to her side to find her sleeping, exhausted from the short battle and having to fight the Akuma's infection.

"This kid is going to be the death of us..." Lavi groaned, sitting back releaved to see she was still alive at least.

"If she doesn't kill us, Kanda and Allen will for letting her get hurt.' Lenalee sighed and cradled Lilly in her arms. " I am surprised just how well she did though."

Phew sorry it took so long to write this chapter. I've had writters block forever and I've been incredibly busy. I will be getting married this fall so updates will be fewer and far between until then. I do plan on this next chapter being all about Kanda and Allen enjoying their alone time together. That's all for now. Toodles~
