"Grell! Hey are you in there?! Shinigami? Hellooooo?" Lavi said while knocking loudly on the door. "Come on Grell we start the mission and you're supposed to come with us!" he snapped.
"Just break it down or leave without him already!" Kanda growled next to him, getting sick of waiting for the stupid reaper. He grabbed shoved Lavi aside, ready to slam the door open when the knob turned and the red-head suddenly stepped out.
"So impatient! It's rude to rush a lady you know," Grell purred while walking between them, running a finger over Lavi's jawline as he passed. Kanda glared, pissed at that the idiot kept pretending to be a woman. It was really starting to piss him off. "Now are you two coming?" the reaper asked as he reached the end of the hall without them.
"Let's go Yuu!" Lavi said, immediately back to his normal chipper mood, rushing after Grell before Kanda could argue about using his first name. After catching up to him, the three of them continued out to the street, exiting the inn they had arrived at the night before from the train. They had be dispatched to investigate an increased gathering of akuma in the area which the finders had been struggling to find leads on.
"Hmmm… now where shall we start…?" Grell said more to himself before just picking to go left and started to walk off.
"Hey! Wait we need to meet with the finder!" Kanda snapped at him and Grell paused.
"Well you can if you want, but another person not on the To Die list just got killed and I believe that is the work of those nasty akuma. So if you want to waste more time and let more people die then go find your little friend, otherwise we should really go there before the akuma escapes," Grell snapped at him. Both of them looked shocked and Lavi looked a little awed that Grell could tell that.
"Che, fine" Kanda muttered and reluctantly followed them as Grell picked up his pace. It was actually getting hard for the two humans to keep up as the reaper pulled out his scythe before making a sharp turn down an alley. A moment after he disappeared there was a large explosion and the shinigami was thrown across the street in a blur of red fabric and purple bullets. Kanda instantly had Mugen drawn, spotting Lavi's hammer growing in his hand as they charged the akuma that emerged from the smoke. Leaping into the air Kanda sliced it in two with the katana in his grip as Lavi rushed to Grell.
"That jerk nearly hit my face!" Grell snarled as he brushed the dirt off his coat and was remarkably untouched otherwise.
"Well it wouldn't have happened if you were paying more attention!" Kanda snapped at him before two more akuma emerged. Grell smirked, flashing his sharp teeth and revved the chainsaw in his hand.
"It won't happen again," he hissed before leaping into the air and hacked the demons apart with his scythe. It wasn't long before the noise attracted more of them and Kanda quickly noticed that the incoming beasts were mostly level twos.
"What's with the weird looking ones?" He heard Grell ask from above him.
"Level twos," Lavi replied with a hit of worry as he saw the number coming in.
"Interesting… I didn't know such a demon could evolve," Grell said before going after the closet one.
"Come on!" Kanda barked at Lavi then took off towards the incoming creatures but before any of them reached the akumas, they all froze. Lavi skidded to a halt.
"What's wrong with them?" He said quickly, glancing over at Kanda and Grell.
"I don't care just kill them while they're not fighting back!" Kanda snapped.
"Now, now, that's not very fair now is it?" A male voice said from behind them, followed by a girlish giggle. Lavi turned and his face paled as he saw the red and black checkered door standing open on top of the nearest building. Two of the Noah stood in front of it. Smirking with a cigarette between his teeth Tyki tipped his top hat at the exorcists. Floating besides him was Road sitting on Lero.
"What do you want Noah?" Kanda snapped at them.
"Well I'd tell you, but I'm more interested in your companion. Who's that? A new exorcist?" Tyki asked with a smirk.
"How dare you! I'm not some lowly exorcist!" Grell snarled, chainsaw revving again to emphasize it.
"Oh really?" Tyki said, surprised but even more intrigued now. "Then what are you?"
"I would have thought you Noah would know about shinigami, you know, those of us that send souls up to your beloved God's heaven?" He said smugly as the Noah's eyes widened.
"Interesting, I've never had the pleasure of meeting one of your kind. But what business does a shinigami have with exorcists?" the Noah asked.
"Because you are messing up my "To Die" list!" Grell snapped. Kanda looked over to Lavi as the reaper had the two Noah well distracted.
"Go" Kanda mouthed to the bookman and he quickly listened, knowing they needed help if they were to challenge two Noahs. He rushed to their Finder and accessed his mobile golem.
