Day 2
"Sasha! Sasha, wake up, you'll miss breakfast if you don't get up!" Allen called as he sternly knocked on the door. I groggily opened my eyes and blinked out the fog out of my brown iris's. I sat up and looked at my clock, fifteen minutes until nine. Man, I still felt wiped out from last night, but I know breakfast will help me restore energy to my groggy head and my Parasitic weapon.
"Hold on Allen. I'll meet you there, I have to take a shower first!" I called as I stumbled to the washroom with a new pair of clothes out of my suitcase.
"Oh okay... Be careful." He replied nervously as I knocked over a bottle of soap and it made a loud clanking noise.
"Sure." I muttered as I peeled off my clothes that I slept in and stepped into the shower, letting the hot water run over me. I scrubbed off all of yesterday's dirt and then reached my forearms. There was no use washing them, no matter how hard I scrub, the rough, bumpy skin that went from my elbows to the tips of my fingers won't get any smoother. Crazy Innocence, but I don't think of it as a burden. I think of it as a savior, even though it's effecting my brown skin.
Soon enough I finish my shower, dry off, and put on my tight long sleeved black shirt, dark knee high spandex pants, and shin high combat boots. Hopefully I get an Exorcist uniform soon, I'm running out of clothes to use. Putting my shoulder blade long, chocolate hair in a high ponytail, I opened my washroom door and headed out of my room.
Walking into the hallway, it seemed to go on forever and I had no clue where to go. Well I remember Lenalee saying something about a person next door... 'He doesn't get upset and doesn't have a temper.' I think that's what she said. So I head to my right and knock on the door, no response. So I slowly turned the knob to find it open so I head in and look for this 'Kanda' person. His room was horrible though, black walls, a lumpy unused cot, and a dresser with a strange hourglass that seemed out of place in this whole dark room. Heck, there wasn't even enough light coming from the window which had a pretty large hole, as if someone threw a fist though it.
"Who are you?" I heard a dark monotone voice erupt from behind me. Being my jumpy self, I leaped more into the room, turned around and activated my Innocence. I glanced up from my crouched position to find a tall dark haired man, maybe around seventeen, with an official Exorcist uniform and a sword strapped to his waist. His fingers hovered over the blade, ready to draw it out at any time. I guess it wouldn't hurt to answer his question without provoking him.
"I'm Sasha, the new Exorcist recruit." I replied bluntly stated as I straightened out my posture, I was actually the same height as this swordsman. He was still glaring at me, slightly looking me up and down.
"Get out of my room!"
"I was just looking for you."
"Why?"
"I... I can't find my way to the cafeteria." I replied stupidly as I averted my gaze from his. I felt him glare at me some more before pushing past me and shoving me out of his doorway.
"Not my problem."
"Wait, but I meant no harm!" I called back as he slammed the door in my face. I stood there dumbfounded for a second before glaring at the door in anger. He was nothing like Lenalee described him to be. "Jerk..." I whispered as I walked down the hall.
I transformed my arms back into their normal self as I came upon an intersection. I looked down to my left and saw a dim hallway which creeped me out while the right looked like it was polished and brightly lit. My gut said to go down the right so I walked along the tile floor and felt it wobble under my boots. I took one more step and found that four rows of tiles dropped from under me and I fell. I activated my Innocence and dug my claws into the remaining tile that lead back to the intersection. Gasping, I looked down to see the an endless abyss which was probably the water down below, rolling around in a violent manner.
"No!" I yelled as my claws slipped off the edge. I felt gravity take its toll on me as my ponytail rose up. I closed my eyes shut and waited for my punishment. Suddenly I felt something warm on my rough hand and I snapped my eyes open. I saw Kanda straining to pull me up as he placed his other hand on my forearm, grunting all the way. I put my other hand on his forearm and I lifted myself up while he pulled. I hopped up on the surface but threw Kanda off his feet and I landed on top of him. I panted loudly as I started to stand up, honestly not that phased by the position we were in, just lucky he was there. But why was he there?
"Che, must you be so stupid. This is the observatory that's under construction, idiot." He chided as I offered him my hand. He neglected it and helped himself up. I rolled my eyes at his sense of pride and deactivated my Innocence. We walked back to the sturdy floor and we made short eye contact before I stumbled around for a second but then regained my senses. I'm hungry, I feel like this when I'm starving and I haven't eaten anything this whole morning.
"What's your problem?" He asked in that deep tone of voice he has. I glared at his rudeness but then shook it off when I felt my stomach rumble.
"Because I'm a parasitic type Exorcist I need more food than normal people do so when I'm hungry, I'm five times more hungry than you would be. Then if I get too hungry, I start to shut down." I explained as I started to walk down the left hallway. Just as I stumbled into a wall, feeling like crap, I saw Kanda sling my arm over his shoulder and start to walk. I followed, too hungry to argue with him.
Soon we were near the double doors and I could smell the scents of multiple cultures of food coming from behind the doors.
"Get in there and eat. Don't let me catch you in my room ever again." Kanda threatened with his signature death glare. I wasn't even phased by his tone of voice as I mindlessly walked towards the doors.
"Whatever you say, Panda."
"Kanda!" He corrected, his fingers grazing his sheathed sword.
"Sure." I droned out as I threw open the door and walked into the cafeteria, my mouth watering as I overlooked the full tables filling the large room. Walking up to the window that lead into a huge kitchen, I poked my head in to find myself face to face with a man with two long pink braids and sunglasses. Strange fellow, judging by the smell, I hope he can make all my favorite foods.
"Oh you look new here, the name's Jerry! Whatcha want honey? I can make anything yal want!" The man asked as he pointed a frying pan at me with a kind grin. Anything? I decided to test that theory.
"Well, then can I have 15 beef egg-rolls, red pepper curry, chicken salad, and fried rice. Oh, and three cups of peach juice!" I scrabbled out my order as Jerry gave me a questioning look.
"Peach juice?" He trailed off as he stuck his head back in the kitchen and started to cook. I grinned to myself as I looked around the lunchroom. Many people were wearing brown trench coats, maybe they were a different type of Exorcist, but there was a lot of them. Soon my food was ready and I took my tray piled high with snacks and looked for a place to sit. Suddenly I saw Lenalee and Allen waving me over from their table.
"Sasha, what took you so long? Did you get lost?" Lenalee asked with worry etching her face as she slightly glared at Allen who nervously sat beside her.
"Well, if you call falling in the floor and almost dying getting lost, then yes, I was lost." I say bluntly as I sit across the two, shocked expressions covering their faces. Allen nervously stuffed his face with his mountain of food while Lenalee glared at him.
"I knew I should have came to get you- wait- did you say die?! You almost died?!" She yelled as she leaned over the table. I nodded my head as I started to chow down on half of my food.
"I fell off the observatory."
"The observatory? Ugh, I knew I should have told brother to put a 'Do Not Cross' sign on it! How did you get back up?" The Chinese girl ranted on, showing pure worry for me.
"Well I hung there for a few moments before I lost my grip and Kanda-"
"Kanda? Kanda saved you?!" Allen called, coughing up a piece of beef in the process.
"...Yes he did and if he didn't follow me down the hallway, I would've fell into the water." I finished off my story and started to feel stuffed. Lenalee looked dumbfounded but shook it off as she stood up and gave on of her contented smiles.
"Well I have to be off, I'm leaving for a mission this afternoon so there are things I still need to do." She said as she walked away, waving at me and Allen. I waved back as I finished up my remaining scraps and placed my tray away, so did Allen.
"Hey Sasha, Komui wants to see you." Allen said as he followed me out the door.
"Why? I thought he already tested my Innocence yesterday? Remember, Steel Daggers." I say, pointing at my forearms for emphasizes. He shook his white hair and pointed ahead at the door we were approaching.
"Komui will explain it to you in there, I gotta go and do a report on my last mission." Allen said. Suddenly something wiggled through his Exorcist coat and out came a little yellow sphere with wings and a tail. A Golem, but it was a unique shade instead of it's natural shad of black.
"That's a weird looking Golem. Why is he yellow?" I asked as I pointed a finger at the flapping, bat-like creature. It suddenly opened it's mouth and tried to chomp down on my finger. I quickly pulled it away and glared at the weird thing.
"Oh this? This is Timcanpy, my Golem. My master... ugh... Timcanpy used to be his Golem." He shuddered as he started to walk away. Maybe a bad Master and apprentice relationship. I shrugged it off as I walked into the room and saw nothing but darkness. Suddenly lights sprung to life and I found myself and Komui on a pyramid shaped platform that rose into the air. I quickly grabbed the railing as I looked at the Chief of the Science department for some explanation. He just smiled at me as the lights started to dim and five spotlights illuminated five thrones.
"Sasha, you've been hand picked by God to be an Accommodater of Innocence. Let's test how good you'll be in battle with your Anti-Akuma weapon." Komui said and I gave him a questioning look. Suddenly I felt myself raising in the air and tentacle like fingers wrapped around my legs and torso. I started to panic and tried to pry the rope like fingers off me but they wrapped themselves completely around both of my forearms, trapping me completely. I thrashed around until I heard an unfamiliar voice chime in my head.
"Do not struggle child, I wish you no harm." A large dragon like body whispered, it didn't have eyes but long scale like tiles covered all its body besides its lips. I started to sweat as I still struggled to free myself when it dug its tentacles into both of my Innocence laced arms, I didn't believe this thing was on our side.
"Do not thrash child. I just want to test your maximum synchronization rate with your Innocence." It said as it dove its forehead towards mine and I stopped shaking. "7%... 26%... 44%... 59%... 72%... 88%... 98%... 120%... 166%!" It called out in amazement as it slowly started to uncoil around my body.
"166% is my maximum? That's over 100, how's that possible?!" I called out as my feet touched solid ground again.
"Since you have two separate weapons with one Innocence, the level doubles, making your highest 200 rather than the normal 100%. Each of your arms holds 83% of the Innocence's synchronization." The thing explained as Komui pulled out a clipboard and scribbled information on it. I glared at him when he was finished.
"Why the heck didn't you tell me this was going to happen?!" I demanded as I pointed a finger at him.
"Then you wouldn't have done it. Most Exorcists chicken out so we had to compromise this ritual with Hevlaska." He said as he stepped away from my fuming figure.
"You are the first I've seen with your kind of power. But one day, there will be a time where your ability will be informed to the wrong side of the war. They will stop at nothing to have you on their side... Or dead." Hevlaska called out her prophecy as Komui hit a button on the control panel, making the platform descend. I ran to the edge of the rail, reaching out to Hevlaska for answers.
"Killed? Who wants my power that badly that they'd want me to trade sides? Tell me, please!" I shouted as I let the words sink in my head, Hevlaska's form disappearing into the darkness. I sunk back into the platform as it stopped back in front of the double doors. "Damn it what does Hevlaska mean?" I whispered to myself as Komui shoved me through the doors and he closed them behind him.
"No need to get worked up, Hevlaska's prophecies usually don't come true just like that. You don't have to worry now, because you're going on a mission!" Komui cheered as he pushed me into his office and guess who I saw, Kanda, the ever so cheerful swordsman.
"You?" Kanda questioned with glaring eyes. I shrugged at his outburst and sat at the other end of the couch in the messy office.
"Not the words I want to hear after being promised my death, Butter-knife." I gave his new nickname a try because I'm just assuming his sword won't stand a chance against my Steel Daggers.
"Kanda!" He corrected again as he fingered his sword again.
"Whatever, let's get this over with!"
