Chapter 8
Opening his eyes, Kanda could see that sunlight was streaming through the windows of the house. Sighing, he glanced around the room to find it missing 2 people. Small sounds could be heard from outside the house. He usually was meditating by now. Standing out he passed by Allen and Ravi who were still out on the armchairs. Lenalee had been offered the bed and Safu got the sofa. They had drawn straws and he gotten the short one. The little girl that was there yesterday was now gone. As he got outside the house, he could see two people fighting. Akira was launching multiple kicks towards Jinx whom was blocking all of them. They both moved quickly and of them were panting, sweat covering them. They both stopped and looked at Kanda.
"If you need somewhere to meditate, there is a quiet place down the path," Akira said panting.
As he walked down the path, he could hear the sounds of swords clashing behind him.
By the time Akira, Jinx and Kanda were back, the rest of the group was beginning to awaken. Akira quickly walked into the back room.
"So what do we do now," Ravi asked stretching.
"The first train comes at 4:00, so we have an extra couple of hours," Lenalee said entering the room.
"I have something to do... Do not follow me," Akira said appearing from the back room and walking quickly out the door wielding a large scythe behind her.
"Ah-already...," Safu choked out while Jinx looked away from them.
"What's going on?" Ravi questioned innocently.
"When the reaper brings his or her scythe they are going for an execution not a fight," Safu whispered burying her head in her knees.
Ravi went quiet understanding the words. Lenalee on the other hand...
"What do you mean? Akira won't actually kill anybody right," she panicked.
"The laws here are different. Yesterday night was planned. There is no way that many akuma would congregate for one innocence," Jinx said in a hard tone making Lenalee flinch.
"Broker?" Kanda asked in an uncaring tone.
"Yeah..." Jinx replied.
Whispers followed Akira as she walked down the main road. A crowd of people were around a man yelling boisterously in the middle. She sighed realizing it was the man from yesterday who had blocked her.
"I'm not lying! The reaper is dead!" He yelled to the crowd around him.
"I would prefer if you didn't spread rumors about me," Akira remarked her voice cutting through the noise.
"W-what! How are you alive?" the man yelled stepping backwards in shock. The crowd quickly melted away seeing what Akira was holding.
"What a pleasant question..." Akira replied sarcastically.
"B-but yesterday, all the akuma..., H-how, I created all of them... H-how could they not have killed y-you?" the man stuttered.
"So I'm right, how nice," Akira said coldly towards the man as the group of exorcists ran up. Jinx had mysteriously vanished.
"So you want to kill me?" the man said smirking at her as people stepped out from the crowd. "I have people with me you know..."
"Anybody who interferes with an execution will be killed," Akira called to the group surrounding her and the man.
As the group of people ignored her warning and charged, she swung her scythe around her body in a fluid motion. In the next moment, all the people were lying on the ground meters away from her. Lenalee gasped and ran up to Akira.
"Stop, you don't need to kill him," she cried standing in front of Akira.
"Yeah, Listen to the chick," the man snarled obviously surprised at the outcome of his plans.
"Move Lenalee," Akira commanded in the cold voice that sent chills down the people's spines.
Desperate, the man quickly grabbed Lenalee pointing a gun at her head. "One more move and she dies," he yelled.
"Is that supposed to affect me?" Akira asked in a heartless tone raising her scythe. "Last words?"
"Wait! Isn't she your friend. I will actually kill her like I killed all those other people. You heartless demon. Are you actually going to kill me? You fu-" the man rambles were interrupted by a bullet piercing through his skull. As his body fell to the ground, Akira stepped forward to steady Lenalee.
"Are you alright?" Akira asked Lenalee who was still in a state of shock.
"Yeah..." Lenalee said softly as Jinx rejoined the group a rifle slung on his back.
"Good shot Jinx," Akira called out as he approached them.
"Thanks, what about the rest of them?" he replied while sighing gesturing to the rest of the people lying on the ground.
"They should come around soon. Look," Akira said pointing to one person already beginning to stir.
As the people got up, they began to back away slowly.
"You're a demon," one of them said to Akira trembling.
"I know..." Akira replied in a barely audible sad tone.
This is when the rest of them realized how much Akira was suffering.
"Che, he is already dead. No use to repent now," Kanda said in an emotionless voice, looking away and sticking his hand out to help Akira up.
Looking up in surprise, Akira took his hand and stood up. She found this almost comforting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After all the commotion had finished
"So we still have 2-3 hours before the train arrives," Ravi commented lightly as he heard Akira and Jinx arguing about trivial matters.
"Jinx!" Akira yelled glaring at him.
"Come on, please?" He begged jokingly.
"What's going on?" Lenalee asked, recovered from the shock earlier.
"Akira refuses to perform even though she promised," Jinx explained.
"When did I promise?" Akira snapped at him.
"You perform?" Ravi asked curiously.
"It's how we make money here," Akira answered.
"You will do it right?" Lenalee said.
"No," was Akira's flat answer.
"Come on!" Jinx whined. "You guys convince her."
"It will be fun Akira," Allen said happily. "You also know that you can't win against Jinx in this argument," he added grinning at her annoyed expression.
"Tch, fine..."
When Akira had finally agreed to perform, they were dragged off to a small bar near the train station.
"What songs this time?" Akira said as they entered the bar.
"Here is the list," Jinx replied tossing it at her.
looking over her shoulder Ravi looked at the list. These were the songs:
Give it up
Stormy
Cross my Heart
Curiosity
Good Girl
Lonely
Colors
Lion
Free Choice
"That's it?" Akira asked Jinx.
"Yep"
"Fine," Akira said getting up on the small stage and picking up the microphone.
"I'm going..." Allen said drifting over to the poker tables a dark aura surrounding him as he walked toward the tables.
Sitting down on the tables near the stage, the remaining exorcists watch Akira in awe. Kanda was personally extremely shocked though his face showed no change in emotion. The person that he saw fighting so fiercely yesterday was like a completely different person. Her body movement and expression matched each song perfectly though each of them were quite different. Lenalee and Ravi were amazed by this. Akira voice changed as each of the songs changed. Her voice was perfect, matching each song.
"Okay, this will be my last song today," Akira said to the people cheering in the bar. She opened her mouth as her hands moved fluidly on the guitar.
"I don't know but...
I think I may be
fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I..
know you better
I am trying..
Not to tell you..
But I want to..
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding..
what I'm feeling..
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my..time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my.. life
and now i found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm falling for you...
I'm falling for you...
As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
and we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just
you and me
I'm trying..
Not to tell you..
But I want to..
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding..
what I'm feeling...
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my.. time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think i'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my.. life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...
Ooh, I just can't take it..
My heart is racing..
Emotions keep spinning out...
I've been spending all my.. time
just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my..life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...
I think I'm fallin' for you
I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think i'm fallin' for you
I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...
Ooohhh
Ooh no no
Oooooohhhhh
Oooh, I'm fallin' for ya" Akira finished with a smile.
"There, I'm done," She said to Jinx.
"Here, Good job," he replied placing some guineas in her hand.
"Good timing too, There are 10 minutes until the train arrives," Lenalee said as Akira went to drag Allen away from the poker tables, Ravi following her.
"I can't believe she chose that song," Jinx muttered as Akira could be seen attempting to get Allen away from all the other people at the table who wanted their possessions back.
"Why?" Lenalee asked Jinx curiously.
"When Akira sings a song by her own choice, it almost always reflects her emotions. She is bad at conveying them normally. Don't mind her if she seems odd at times. She is horrible at expressing herself," Jinx answered smirking at Allen who was trailing behind Akira.
As the group stepped onto the platform, the train arrived.
"Bye then," Jinx said lightly as the group boarded the train.
"I'll go to the asian branch soon," Safu added as the doors closed behind them.
"We're going back" Allen said as the small town sped away.
