Hello again. :) Hope you guys missed me ^^'

Sorry for the late update... I had a bit of a problem...but to make it up to you all, I made it extra long..

A virtual cookie to KonekoNoRenkinjutsushi for guessing Lynn's name! :D
-

The light rustle in the gradually yellowing leaves, brought forth a soothing atmosphere to all. Patches of red brown and yellow covered the sides of the garden's soft soil. Hiding it's nature with a blanket of colours.

'The sweet smell of decay.' A certain red head thought. Why was this particular mismatched being here though? Was it because the dying red leaves called out to their companion for a final farewell? Or was it just to provide a snarky comment?

Well, sad to say, those were all included in his reasons.

Though what urged him on to this particular place was the increasingly unnerving stench of molding books in his near spaceless quarters. Yes, ' The sweet smell of decay.' indeed.

His boots fell softly onto fertile soil. A classic tune set flight from his slightly parted lips as his arms rested lazily atop his unkept hair. He then let out a content sigh, smilling sheepishly from an instance of serenity.

Which was abruptly cut short.

" Fuck." A short, meek, foul word. It bears many meanings, and one of them fitted the situation all too well.

Lavi could only stare as his eminent doom hit him, literally. This was soo not the kind of day where he would want a chick to fall (for) on him.

The two occupants above weren't in fairly good shape either. Their attacker and charge was swift in dealing a wholesome blow. The shattered remains of the weapon in question dusted the white marble floor with its shallow perception of rightfulness. Who would've thought that anyone in their right mind would throw a porcelain vas at their savior in the midst of a fatal fall, no less?

"Urg.." Allen rubbed his sore forehead. How dreadful, a fragment left a deep cut on the pentagram of his mishaped scar. He winced when his nimble finger brushed over it, accidentally making a bigger mess. Clenching his teeth, he held the fragile piece between his tumb and forefinger and mercilessly unwedge the piece. Light droplets of blood trickled down smoothly and part ways when they neared the eye creating rivers of blood. The crimsom liquid formed a tiny pool and reflected the light from the open window. 'Oh right..'

Their charge fell.

"Holy-" The albino stuck his head out like a bullet from a shot-gun, uncaring that he was unintentionally stomping on an already pissed off raven.

The raven was pushed back when the younger of the two suffered an attack and fell. He was not too pleased that the ungrateful, careless piece of a vegetable still had the gut to trample on his gut. So he growled.

"Grr.."

The white-haired male unconciously ignored the raven's plea.

"Lavi?" He whispered to himself, bemused, he was shocked to find his friend squashed.

"Eh? Allen?Alleeen! You got to help mee!"

To the relief of one Allen and to the misfortune of another, their charge was unhurt and in a tangled mess of limbs which meant she can't get away. All the better for the cheery sprout.

The raven couldn't believe it, his manly, beast-like growl was innefective! He growled louder, and for-the-sake-of-god, the bean felt his uncleansed desire to behead him.

But Allen did not seem to hear him, he was too busy being relieved.

"Don't worry Lavi! I'm coming!"

"Tch." He said, and narrowed his eyes, that beansprout was soooOOO GOING TO GET IT!

To the girl, it was a matter of do or die, kill or be killed, rape or be raped!

... Wait, does that even fit?

She was grabbed by her ankle to prevent her escape, and she was crushing the other's leg as she dugged her elbow deep into the other's side.

It was a pitiful sight. As the girl struggled to defeat her opponent, she was suddenly traped, the red hair got the upper hand.

"Hey, it's okay. We're not going to hurt you." A fallen angle whispered as he fell from the heavens. His angelic features soften into a womanizing smile. His cape fluttered behind him gently before they settled around his preitine figure.

The girl wouldn't fall for a low trick like that, no matter how mesmerizing the male in front of her could be. A hot random stranger is not in the least! She gave a swift kick, but her extended feet never landed on her victim, he was too far. Distressed, she pouted angrily and glared.

"Easy, we're just trying to help." The bruised redhead added.

But the girl was unrelenting, she used her leg to hit the back of said redhead, making him wail in pain as she lurched for the prestine beauty but the moment she got her hands on him, Lavi pulled her down by her ankle. And thus a bigger lump of struggling meat was formed.

Above, Kanda could not take their childish impudence any longer.

In one swift second, he angled his wrist and leaped through the opening, his figure twisted professionally through the air as he landed on the grounds. His mystical glory could not be awed for long though. The struggling lump sensed the aura of a cursed beast unrivaled by many.

"STOP FUCKING AROUND!" His voice thundered, halting every move and breath from the frivolous bunch. They were wise, from the look on his face, his eyebrows were making such an unholy arch and his eyes... they were clear with such rage that even the laws of chemistry can't stop them from burning.

Within two long strides, Kanda had the girl by her collar, which he use to raise her up to mid-air effortlessly to mock their futile attempts to apprehend her.

The girl's shock-induced obedience faltered though,as her senses returned to her. The first thing she accomplished was to thrash around in hopes to injure the raven. She was not used to this one bit, she didn't like being caught or apprehended. She felt weak, meek like a poor squirrel trapped by its tail. Her breath quickened and hitched, her lungs felt weak with fear. What are they going to do to her? Her lip quivered and she bit it to prevent fear. She didn't like being vulnerable, she felt sick.

"O-oi! L-let go of me, you retard!" She screeched like a wounded puppy, her threat lost the sharp edge she had.

But heartless Kanda did not flinch, instead he narrowed his eyes and sent waves of ominous black clouds to command her to stop.

The girl felt every sinew of hers froze with that glare, it was odd in this kind of situation, but she didn't like being hated either.

'No,no,don't! Don't! Please, STOP! Just Stop! Please…let me go! Let mE GO!'

Kanda's cold treatment triggered the trauma she received from her dream, the images flowed through her, prickling its path with scorching hot needles. Then...all at once, her body felt numb. Her limbs went limp. Hundreds..no, thousands of imaginary daggers engulfed her, the places they strike felt numb with pain. She felt it vividly, she felt the way the daggers broke through her skin, her eyes, lungs and anywhere that available. She felt how the tip of it intruded her and the numbness of it within her. She tried to cough it out, the one rooted below her chin. Her body felt vandalised. It was a fact that people are able to dream and feel imaginary pain. But her case was a first. Her hallucinations went too far. Her body reacted to the sensation severely.

There was obviously something wrong with the girl, even the crumpled crimson leaves could tell.

"H-hey, Kanda I think you should let her down for a bit." Lavi was the one who spoke up, he was worried, he had a hunch of what's going to happen and oh he prayed that he was wrong.

Kanda eyed her oddly, and did as Lavi told him to, as he too, sensed something wrong. He gently positioned her on top the leaves, with actual care.

"Hey, are you alright...Miss?" Allen spoke softly, unsure. She was too quiet.

"..stop.." She whispered.

"…Miss?"

"No,Stop..Stop,STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP!" The girl chanted the word like a forsaken prayer, tears were digging their way out in a rush as a soft green glow embraced her lovingly through the pain, as if comforting her.

As if responding to their respective owners, the innocence around her activated despite the fact that their owners did not will them to. The air around her slowly heated up and the crumpled leaves wavered.

Needless to say, the three exorcist were stunned. They couldn't comprehend the situation. Their innocence slowly emitted the same green glow as the girl but not as strongly, as if they were trying to resonate to her.

"What the heck?" Similar words ran out of the exorcist' lips.

Allen's crown clown was giving him the most trouble out of the three,his arm was moving on its own will, he could hardly use his hand, deactivating it seemed like a wild dream at this point. It was the same for the other two, they couldn't control them at all.

Were the innocence rebelling against their welders? What exactly is this girl? Typical questions were asked.

At once, all the innocence emitted a strong wave, which pushed a few welders weren't done though, despite physics, they floated around the hysterical girl in green spheres.

Now, this was a serious matter, an unknown situation, but imagine Allen getting dragged around by his innocence, wrapped in a mysterious green glow around and around the girl like a Merry Go Round. Poor Allen.. His wails were throughly ignored by his 'loving' innocence.

STOP, STOP,STOP, STOP,STOP..! The girl was on the brink of insanity, she wasn't comprehending her surroundings. Her whole being was shrouded in pain, she kept coughing, trying to force the imaginary blood from her lungs. Her throat was burning, she can't take it anymore..

STOP...PLEASE!

'Shh.. It's okay, don't worry, you're on holy grounds, you're protected here.' A hollow yet gentle voice startled her repeated reassuring words to sooth the girl.

The glow darken to a shade of deep Viridian and then to a light shade of spring green. This occurred for a few seconds, until the glow lost their intensity and slowly dissipate as the girl mysteriously calmed down.

The girl's figure slacked and stayed motionless eeriely until all at once the innocences returned to their owners and deactivated.

There was a tense silence, and a barrier of confusion in the air. Then, the shoulder blades of the girl twitched, startling the exorcists. Her eyes fluttered open to reveal a beautiful shade of emerald green, she suddenly seemed eternal like a being not of this world.

"Mhn.. " The girl yawned and rubbed her eyes tenderly. She blinked a few more times and noticed that she was in the middle of a field, the leaves of the trees that surround her were blood red, which contrast to the others further into the woods which were still a rich green.

She looked around slowly trying to place where she is. Her gaze soon landed on the three exorcists. She tilted her head to the side and her eyes widen when she saw the closest one to her, sprawled on the ground.

"Hey.. are you okay?" She asked, crawling towards him and extended her hand to lightly shake him awake.

Allen was still dizzy, from his little ride so he didn't hear her, but he did let out inchorent sounds.

The girls was worried, she didn't know what to do.

The two standing, were abnormally cautious now, that one girl's attitude changed a little too much in this short span of time. They weren't sure what's going to happen, they gave each other knowing glances. They'll play her game for now.

"Hey! Alleen! Are you okaaay?" Lavi asked from his position, he noticed that the girls wasn't as dangerous anymore, at least she's not in shock, but they still have to be careful.

Lavi and Kanda soon went over to the pair on the ground.

"Uhm...are you his friends?" The girl asked shyly, she wasn't good with people.

"Yes, we're his bestest bestest buddies!" Lavi exclaimed grinning.

"Name's Lavi, and this 'er sourplus is Kanda." Lavi jabbed a tumb at the raven.

"O-oh.. uh... My..My name's...Lynn.." The girl spoke softly, cheeks painted a rosy pink, she was not intimidated! No, she's not! She repeated this in her little head, okay, think of something else, something else... The girl was not used to guys, not anymore anyway... Especially not such good looking ones.

"A-ah, I'm sorry but.. your friend's name is Allen, right? I-I just assumed." Now she was looking around, trying to advert her gaze.

Now this was strange, the girl now known as Lynn doesn't show any signs at all of running away, she just looked flabberghast. Did she remember what happened? And why did-

" Oi, brat. What made your smartass think of running away!?" Kanda was the one who raised the question, he was sick of her nervousness. Mugen was pointed just an inch from her poor little throat.

"R-run away...?" The girl repeated nervously," Ah!" She came to realization.. That's right, she ran away because she was afraid...of what again? "Oh.. I'm sorry.. It's just that you can't expect someone to stay still in an foreign place.." She fidget and laughed nervously. That should be why..

"You ran from the fucking second floor!?" That was too weak of a reason for bolting out of the second floor window. Which idiot would believe that!?

" H-hey! I... fell...alright.." She looked down, embarrased.

" You assauted that damn Usagi."

" Ah.. I'm sorry that I did.. It was instincts.. It's just that a stranger just suddenly...I'm very sorry.." She felt bad, guilty even.

Kanda was pissed. Very pissed. He wanted to miam her.

"What are you exactly?" Lavi asked the important question. The first question that should've been asked before any of the previous statements. Afterall, you see a glowing girl with some sort of mysterious powers and you fucking ask about the glowing part! Don't ignore it!

But she seemed confused... " Uhm... a girl?"

Lavi raised an eyebrow and chuckle a little. " No, no, I'm asking why or how did you glow and controlled our innocence just now."

Lavi was serious now, his eyebrow did not wriggle suggestively nor did he have that weird lopside smile.

But Lynn didn't understand, her eyebrows were the ones that wrigled in thought. " I...controlled your innocence?"

Also, she seemed to think of the alternate meaning. " Are you a pervert?" She said, but then felt embarrass cause maybe she misunderstood. Calling others a perv wasn't nice, it was very very rude. Even if they could be one...

" A-ah..um..I 'm s-sorry.."

'What the heck?' Kanda thought, it would be a pain to explain and this damn female was annoying as hell.

"This, you controlled this! " Kanda pointed to mugen and pressed it til it laced her neck with blood.

" I-I'm sorry.. but I don't understand.." Lynn was scared, was she going to be punished now? She damned herself for being so stupid.. She suddenly felt very sad.

"Kanda, you're hurting our charge." The white head said calmly and gently push mugen away.

" Shut up, Moyashi!." Kanda said, but did not protest further.

" Hello,"Allen smiled charmingly " I'm Allen Walker, I'm sure you've heard. Now don't be worried, we'll just ask you a few questions about what happened. What do you remember up till now?"

Lynn nodded obediently,she felt much safer with him than the scary man. " Uhm.. I woke up in that white room, fell and then suddenly I was in a tangled mess, pased out and uhm... yeah...Sorry, that's all I can recall."

" Don't worry, that's plenty." Allen smiled reassuringly.

"Hey, Lynn-chan, do you remember seeing Kanda or Allen before you passed out?" Lavi suddenly asked. He noticed that she never mentioned any of them.

She shook her head.

The three eyed her oddly, oh damn, they've got a lunatic on their hands.

This girl suddenly proved much harder to deal with. Kanda missed it when she was still a vegtable. (in coma)

So that's it..

I hope you like it..
