Chapter 9

"Well…" started Jade, "Cross taught me that also train me in other things while we were coming to the Black Order." Everyone was even more curious now about Jade's life before she came to the Black Order. "Jade, I'm curious… how did you and Cross meet?" asked Lena lee. "Well… the first time I met him and Timcanpy was on the streets of Green Valley" started Jade.

"Then the second time I met him, he save me from the place I live and I'm really grateful for that." Said Jade as she pet Timcanpy, Who was hiding in pocket on her jacket. (A/N: I may tell Jade's past in Chapter 10 or 11) "I see" mumble Allen then moments later, Reever came in the cafeteria and walks towards to Allen and others were. "Hello Reever-san, what's up?" Said Lavi "Hello everyone and I'm here to get Jade and Lena lee because Komui has a mission for them" said Reever.

After that both Lena lee and Jade left with Reever and left Allen, Kanda, and Lavi that the table. "Let's go Moyashi" said Kanda as he grab Allen by collar "Its Allen, Bakanda!" yelled Allen as he got drag away and everyone else couldn't help but laugh a bit of that. Lavi decided to head to the library since everyone else was either on a mission or were busy.

In Komui's office, Lena lee, Jade, and Reever came in and saw Komui sleeping on his desk. Reever walks over to sleeping Komui and said to his ear "Komui, Lena lee is getting married" then took a few steps back. As Komui woke up and screaming/ crying "No! Lena lee, why didn't you tell me your getting married!" as he hugged Lena lee's legs. "Onii-san, I'm not getting married" said Lena lee as she kick Komui on the head.

While that happen, Jade turn Reever and ask "Does this happen a lot?"(A/N: I just love Komui's personality!) "Yup it does" replied Reever. "Ok, your mission is to receive the Innocence that's in Italy also there's been some Akuma sightings in the area also, please be careful" said Komui. "Don't worry Onii-san, I got Jade with me…right?" said Lena lee "Yup and don't worry Komui, I'll protect her" said Jade. After that, Lena lee and Jade went to the train station and headed to Italy.

At the black order's library, Lavi was doing work that Bookman assign to him. Suddenly Lavi stops doing his work and started wondering about Jade. But he couldn't help but wonder what Jade was hiding about her past and knows that the others are thinking about it too.

Because every time Jade talk about it, she seem to leave out details. He wanted to ask her more about her life but was hesitate to ask her. Lavi just sigh and went back doing his work before Bookman catches him not doing it. Lavi spoke out loud but not too loud "Jade, What are you hiding?"

At the training room, Allen and Kanda were sparring with each other and perfecting their fight techniques. They been going at it for two hours and decided to have a break for a bit. "Man… I'm tired now, Hey Kanda …want something to drink?" said Allen as he look towards Kanda.

"Water" replied Kanda as he sees Allen getting up from the ground and getting water. "Here… Kanda" said Allen as he hands Kanda the glass of water and drinking his. Kanda was drinking his water and his notice something was wrong with Allen.

"Oi Moyashi, what's wrong?" ask Kanda "Hmm… Oh it's nothing, I was thinking about something" Said Allen. Kanda didn't say anything and just look at Allen. "I'm going to take a bath, want to join me… Kanda?" ask Allen as he looks at Kanda and already knows the answer.

In Italy, Lena lee and Jade were staying in front of Italy's train station until they saw a finder coming to them. Lena lee and Jade recognize the finder because the finder was Toma. "Hello Lena lee and Jade -Sama" said Toma (A/N: Jade met Toma when Lena lee was showing Jade around the Order)

"Hello Toma-san" said Lena lee and Jade at the same time. After that, they check into a hotel and started thinking up a plan on how they going to find the innocence. "So Toma-san. Have you gathered any information about where the innocence is?" ask Lena lee.

"Well… from what I gathered, there's an old mansion that's banned also said to be haunted and when people go into it they never come back" said Toma. "That's probably where the Akuma is hiding and the innocence" Said Jade.

"That's right… but I think we should continue this tomorrow" Said Lena lee as she notice its past midnight. Just like that, they fell asleep until the next morning comes. Seven in the morning, Jade woke up and sees that Lena lee and Toma are still asleep also decided to take a quick shower with Timcanpy following behind her.

While Jade was in the shower (Timcanpy isn't in the shower with Jade), she grab a shampoo that was mint-scented and put it on her head. Fifteen minutes later, Jade got out of the bathroom with Timcanpy on her head and saw that Lena lee and Toma are wake now. "Morning Jade" said Lena lee and Toma in the same "Morning" replied Jade then they went to old mansion.

At the old mansion, they were standing at entrance of the old mansion. "Are you guys ready?" ask Lena lee as she look at Jade and Toma also knowing the answer. They entered the mansion and spilt to three different directions to look for the innocence also looking out for Akuma. Few hours past, "Have you guys found the innocence yet?" ask Lena lee.

"Not yet" said Jade and Toma in the same time. "I think we should keep on looking for the innocence" said Jade. Then moments later, they went to an old room and started looking in three different areas in the room. Jade couldn't help but look at Timcanpy, who flying around a bookshelf and went over to Timcanpy. "Timcanpy, you think the innocence is behind this bookshelf?" Said Jade as she sees Timcanpy nodding yes. Jade move the bookshelf a bit and saw a green light which was the innocence.

"I found the Innocence!" Yelled Jade to Lena lee and Toma and grab the innocence. Just when Jade grabs it, the roof came crashing down and they saw a level two Akuma. "I see there's annoying exorcists here" said the level 2 Akuma.

"Lena lee take the innocence & Toma and get out of here while I deal with the Akuma" Jade whisper to Lena lee. Lena lee look at Jade and nodded 'Okay' and left Jade to Fight the Akuma. "Well it seems that your friends left you to die" said the level 2 Akuma as he headed towards Jade. Jade activated her innocence and started battling with the Akuma.

Outside of the old mansion, Lena lee and Toma were fifteen feet away from the mansion. Twenty minutes has passed and no sign of Jade, Lena lee was getting worried that Jade must been hurt badly from the Akuma. "I'm going to go back and help Jade, Will you be alright by yourself Toma?" said Lena lee.

"I'll be alright" replied Toma as he sees Lena lee taking off. As Lena lee was five feet away from the old mansion, she saw Jade fighting the Akuma then the Akuma being destroyed by Jade. As Jade destroyed the Akuma, she notice Lena lee was coming to her. "Jade, are you alright?" said Lena lee "Yes I'm fine and tired" replied Jade. Then they met up with Toma and headed back to the hotel.
