I've caught a writing bug, so I'm trying to update even faster, unfortunately I can't write as much at work like I use to, we started getting really busy so I will write as much as I can. So this is the chapter that will get Lavi and Lenalee into trouble, mostly Lavi. I'm thinking about bringing Cross into this chapter just for fun, because it would be hilarious to see what Allen would do. Anyway here we go!

The rest of the mission Kanda and Allen were on, went off without a hitch, it turned out that the destruction supposedly caused by Akuma was nothing more than pranks being pulled by the village teenagers who were bored out of their minds. After the pair chased them down and Allen scared the living shit out of them. The teens were forced to go clean up the entire village and apologize to every single person in the village.

"Well that was a waste of time and effort." Kanda groaned, throwing their suitcases onto the carriage to head back home. "I wonder how Lilly is adjusting to the order. She's probably gotten lost a few times at least."

"Lenalee is with her at least, she can search the whole order quickly if she does get lost." Allen sighed in relief knowing Lenalee was at least the one responsible for watching her.

"Besides she and that idiot know they have to answer to you if something happens to her, you can be scary when you go into your mama bear mode." Kanda replied pulling Allen into the back of the carriage with him.

"I'm I too overprotective of her? She's still just a little kid…..I just don't want her to throw away her childhood for the order." Allen sighed and snuggled into Kanda's side, Kanda wrapping his arm around Allen's shoulders.

"Its going to happen if we like it or not, she's a hell of alot stronger than we give her credit for, she wouldn't be alive if she couldn't handle herself. Lenalee started in the order at a young age too, and she turned out fine. Granted she can be a little eh violent at times."

"I know, I know. I just don't want her to turn into a workaholic" Allen yawned and settled against Kanda's shoulder, letting the rumbling of the cart lull him to sleep.

Meanwhile at the order Lenalee had set up a kind of scavenger hunt to help Lilly learn her way around the order so that she wouldn't get lost as easily. Lilly had slept an entire day after the attack at the orphanage, much to everyone's surprise Lilly was perfectly fine except for a few new stitch looking scars on her shoulder, arms and legs. Lenalee's scavenger hunt had gotten her hopelessly lost within the order.

"Geez this is way too hard, all these hallways look the same." Lilly grumbled and looked at the map that was provided to her at the beginning of the game. "Which way do I even look at this thing?!" She had somehow managed to find herself in the generals wing again, though she avoided getting anywhere near the wine colored door. Though the whole hall around that door stunk of wine. Without a sound the map was plucked from Lilly's hands and turned the right way before being handed back to her.

"This is where you are…." A low gravely voice that wreaked of bitter alcohol came from above Lilly's head. A man with half of his face covered by a mask loomed over her, crimson hair cascading down his shoulders.

"Thank you, this place is too big." Lilly smiled. She was completely oblivious to the fact that he was the one person in the order that she was told to stay away from. "Lena tried to make this game to help me figure out my way around but I guess it's hopeless."

"So you are Lilly, I've heard a lot about you…." He spoke, then took the map from her again. "Would you like some help finding these places?"

"Yes please!" She chimed back. "Oh, what's your name?"

"Marian…." He replied, not using his last name, he had figured Allen would warn her about him, but his pupil would forget to use his full name.

"That's a really nice name, this is going to go so much faster now!"

Cross had thought a second before picking Lilly up and setting her on his shoulders. He knew Allen was due back from his last mission today, and Cross was bored out of his mind. So taking to his normal pastime of screwing with his pupil. "Its easier to spot things from a high vantage point."

"Oh good idea Marian!" Lilly smiled and patted the top of Cross's head.

The pair set off collecting all of the little trinkets that Lenalee had left around the order. "It looks like the last one is in the dock area, I think it's this way." She pointed to a hall on the map that led a small underground river which the exorcists used to go out on missions.

"You are getting the hang of the layout….could you please stop braiding my hair….." Cross grumbled, the top of his head within Lilly's reach was covered in small red braids, that poked out from his head in all sorts of odd angles.

"Hehe, sorry your hair is so soft I couldn't help myself." Lilly giggled and started another braid.

The cross had walked out of the tunneled staircase with Lilly still on his shoulders. Lenalee and Lavi were waiting for her by the docks but had not expected Cross to be with her. Both of their faces were pale and there was pure terror in their eyes.

"Marian helped me figure it out Lena!" Lilly cheered and held up a bag full of little trinkets. Cross was grinning, knowing full well what the two looked so terrified for. Much to Lenalee and Lavi's horror, Allen and Kanda had started coming down the river. It was too late, Allen had seen his Master's back, and then Lilly sitting on his shoulders. The tension in the air was so thick you needed a chainsaw to cut through it. The murderous air inside the boat made even Kanda shudder. There was no question, Allen was going to tear his master to shreds, then god knows what else.

"Allen! Kanda!" Lilly yelled and used Cross's hair to climb down his back. She was beyond excited to see the two coming back. "I can't wait to tell you everything we did!" She yelled. Lavi promptly covered her mouth with his hand.

"Lil, now might not be the best time, Mama Allen looks like he is going to be very angry…" Lavi, almost cowered behind Lilly's hair.

The boat pulled into the dock, Kanda hopped out first and picked Lilly up, taking away Lavi's only hiding place. "Kaga, Allen's really angry so you better stay with me." Kanda spoke softly and held Lilly close, just in case Allen got a little too carried away with killing everyone.

"Well if it isn't my little pupil, what's wrong. I can't meet my little adopted grand-daughter~?"

Allen's complete silence was more than disturbing.

Allen silently walked over to Kanda, taking Lilly from him before turning to Cross, a wide smile across his face. "If you touch Lilly again I will be forced to cut off your dick and feed it to you, okay master~?" His tone was sickening sweet with a hint of maliciousness. "Lena, Lavi I would like to speak with you in my room in five minutes, I have to go give Lilly a bath, she stinks like my master."

Without a second of hesitation Lavi and Lenalee ran up to Allen's room and waited by the door, they feared that if they were late their punishments would end up five times worse.
