Chapter 3: Veiled truth
Cold fingers were gripping on his neck gently yet able to lift him up from the ground, it as if there was some kind of force lifting him up. His body became numb for some reason he couldn't understand; all of his strength drained dry.
"Onii-sama…"
That simple title kept ringing on his ear like church's bell, thousands of emotion ran through him. He was startled and scared out of his mind; when someone with 'innocence' attacked him. He never tell anyone that he was scared if innocence attack him because… that's mean he was no longer Allen Walker, an exorcist, human… but now here he was crying without sound, hanging on his neck by a girl who called him brother. His warm teardrops fell on her cheeks but that masked face looked indifferent.
"Put him down!" Lenalee yelled as ran to them, she grabbed the blonde girls hand trying to break Allen free from her grasp. But much to Lenalee's surprise her hold on him was strong it as if trying to move a statue's hand. "Let him go! He is in pain!" Lenalee said as tightened her grip, "Why you hurt your own brother?"
She looked at Lenalee oddly as if pondering on what the Chinese girl said, she sighed then without warning released Allen from her grip. The silver haired exorcist landed on the ground loudly, Lavi winced at the sound imagining how hurt Allen's bottom now. Much to his surprise Allen looked oblivious of pain that surely ran through his spine.
"Allen?" He drawled in low voice carefully as joined the rest of the group.
Lenalee gasped in horror when saw Allen sat numbly on the ground with tears on his eyes. "Allen! Are you alright?" Her anxiety shot up when Allen didn't even flinch at her question, "Allen, please… speak to me!" She shook him gently and at last he blinked as if just awoke from long sleep.
"Le…nalee?" He drawled.
Lavi glared as he saw how bad Allen looked, he was dozing off like a zombie. "What the hell? You want to kill your brother?"
Innocence that covered her body slowly disappeared to her right hand, Lavi and Lenalee gasped when saw her face. Allen's sister was exact replica of Allen but her hair was pale gold, it as if comparing moon and sun. But unlike Allen's warm silver orbs, her eyes that had different shade of silver like ice, which frightened Lavi when he gazed to it.
"Who wants to kill who?" She asked tonelessly, Lavi and Lenalee suddenly felt all awkwardness disappeared when they saw her expression. It was amused faces that somehow remind them of Allen when he won poker, "You can't possibly think he would die because of that…" She commented lazily.
Lavi's jaw dropped at her comment, he was sure she did choke him firmly that was enough for anyone to think a normal human would be killed. "What the hell? You… you…"
"What were you trying to do?" Lenalee asked, trying to be as calm as possible. She disliked the fact of Allen's sister to be indifferent for what she had done, trying to harm her own brother?
Her bluish gray eyes narrowed at the Chinese exorcist, she smirked. "Not killing him for sure." Was her curt reply then turned her eyes to Allen, "He is still needed… alive." She stated.
Lavi and Lenalee had though of the same thing, it as if she was saying that Allen was needed as an object. They wanted to yell at her for such inhumane statement but what said next made words died on their throat, "Both of us is needed alive…" She added with the coldest voice, her bluish eyes gleaming in the dark alley. Lavi hated to be a bookman in that moment as he kept analyzing her words, Allen's sister was talking as if both of them… as if they were…
Not human…
His mind finished, and for the first time on his life LAvi felt what so called as fear of knowing. He was bookman, human who was literally a walking library, and living recorder and he desired knowledge more than anything else. And of all knowledge he desired, the secret of Noah and Destroyer of Time were one he desired the most but… what she said making him unsure, he was…
*Tuk*
Lavi almost jumped backward when he felt slight pressure on his eye-patch, but unknown force nailed his feet to the ground. Allen's sister was tracing his eye-patch with her forefinger with mild interest, "Photographic memory… ability all bookman had, you are one of the clan who capable of fully awakening real capacity of human's brain…" She commented lazily.
Once he regained control of his body Lavi backed away, "Who are you? Answer me!"
"And who are you to demand an answer from me?" She asked back haughtily. Then turned back to Allen, approaching the boy who was struggling to stand up shakily, "And Onii-sama can you please explain what are you doing with these exorcist?" When Allen didn't answer, she got it from his uniform, which she didn't pay attention to before. She yanked his collar, startling the three exorcists for frail looking girl like her acted like a thugs. "What the hell are you thinking Onii-sama?" She roared as shaking Allen back and forth, "To join the Black Order… you can't be this stupid!"
Allen shook his head, "How it can be stupid? I joined to help humanity!" Lavi and Lenalee in the other hand though Allen had more urgent question rather than answering that, he had just found his long lost sister for crying out loud. They noted that Allen's sister was really different from Allen, she was a bit arrogant and cryptic.
"Helping humanity?" She repeated mockingly, "For so many years you disappeared and somehow ended up in Black Order? Can you please come out with better answer?" The blond haired girl muttered threateningly.
Allen was startled then repeated. "I… disappeared…"
Lenalee and Lavi were taken back at her revelation, how Allen could disappear? They knew Allen would never leave his family; he was simply not capable of such thing. Lavi was listing possible event that happened in Allen's past and also noting that Allen's sister seemed had mutual dislike of Black Order. Lenalee in the other hand was pondering if she should tell about Allen's blank memories.
"I don't care!" She growled, "Come out with plausible reason already Onii-sama! Why did you do this?"
"He didn't remember at all!" Lenalee yelled desperately. All eyes turned to Lenalee, startled the Chinese girl cut in the conversation, "Allen's memory before he was eight is blank! He didn't have any memories of what happened before that!"
Lavi gasped, "Allen… you…"
The white haired exorcist looked away, gritting his teeth. "I am sorry… that I don't remember I have a little sister… I am…"
She sighed, "So… that's what happened…" She muttered tiredly, didn't sound concerned about it at all. "Well that's one plausible reason."
"Hey! How you can be so unconcerned? He forgot about you!" Lenalee yelled angrily, she couldn't imagine a sister could be so heartless. She couldn't imagine herself as a younger sister to be so indifferent when older brother she treasured so much forgot and felt guilty for her. "Allen must be… how do you think he would feel when he found a sister he has no memory of? When he believed most of his life he had been abandoned by his family?"
She titled his head to the side, noting Allen had a pained face and didn't struggle at all from her hold. She knew that pained face, she could see it on her own reflection… expression they shared many times in the past whenever… "Is that so? You though you had been abandoned by our family Onii-sama?" She asked.
Allen blushed deep red, ashamed if it was not the case. But who could blame him? Anyone would assume that was the case due to his malformed hand. "I… am sorry, I didn't know if that's… true or not… I was just assuming that I…"
"That's not really far from what happened in a way." She stated which shocked everyone, their eyes widened in disbelief wondering what she meant by that. "By the way how old are you this year Onii-sama?"
Lavi and Lenalee was dumbfounded at how easy she changed the topic, and she didn't care about the mood at all. "She is really… annoying and impossible in a way." Lavi admitted tonelessly, he to be honest though when Allen's sister had quite a pretty face didn't feel he would fawn over her. It was just wrong because she was too alike with Allen to his liking, not to mention she remind him a bit of Road.
"I am fifteen… almost sixteen…"
She gaped at him, "You are what?"
"Uhm I…"
"Excuse me…" Lavi cut him in, "I don't want to interrupt but… from how creepy alike you are with Allen and you seems nowhere younger than him, I assumed that you are not just a sister but also… a twin sister." He stated confidently which made Allen's eyes widened in disbelief, "Allen…" LAvi sighed, "You can't possibly think she is your younger than you by years, do you? She perfectly looked in the same age as you… and too alike to the point even my eye though she was your double or something before."
She chuckled softly, "That's right… I am his twin sister, he is older than me by few minutes~" She stated amusedly, "By the way… are you talking about him, this Allen?"
Lavi knew Allen was not the name his friend had before adopted by Mana, "Yes… his foster father named him Allen…"
Once again she sighed then released her hold on his collar, "OH so that's what happened to you…" She muttered absentmindedly, "And yes… you are fifteen… an exorcist too. Whatever…" She said then patted him on the head, "Well than take care, and good bye Onii-sama…"
But before she could walk away Allen, Lenalee and Lavi glommed to her. Allen and Lavi was holding her hands and Lenalee on her waist, "Wait! You can't just go!" Allen pleaded.
She growled threateningly, "What are you doing?" She can't appreciate them weighted her like that, "Let me go amoeba! I can go whenever I please!"
"He is your long lost brother!" Lenalee reminded her, "How heartless you could be to walk away just like that?"
"And HOW I am staying here with him can make any difference? And what for?" She asked back dragging them with her as she walked, "Both of us are grown ups young lady! I don't care as long as he can take care of himself and stay alive!"
LAvi was the next one, "You got no feeling or something? Do you have any idea what Allen have been through?"
She scowled at that," Well I am sure for all innocent-user, that life is not a walk on the park! Especially for parasite type like us!" She reasoned loftily, "And to be honest our life before separated was not joyful days either!"
"But!" Allen pleaded, "Please I need to ask you so many things about our past! I want to know no matter what!
"Our past?" She repeated incredulously.
After hours of screaming and curse were threw by exorcists and Allen's sister which involved being dragged and vice versa, sun had set and night veiled the sky in darkness, like it or not it was just too late for arguing any further. They decided to rent a new room in another hotel, leaving Link with no clue of where they were going. But Allen's sister definitely not a good thing to be known by Central, and that won't help her displeasure of being dragged all the way for some sort of interrogation.
"Uhm…" Allen stammered nervously, "What's your name?"
She rolled her eyes to him, her face was turned away from him as they sat on the hotel room's chairs when Lavi and Lenalee were sitting on the single bed. "My name?" She asked back, and then quickly shut her mouth tightly.
"Hey! What's wrong if he just asked your name?" Lenalee muttered indignantly, "You are so…"
"Fine!" She snapped, "Just call me Axia…"
Lavi sighed, "A nickname?"
"My complete first name is Oracia… " She stated, "And it's Allen who start calling me Axia in the first place…"
Lavi didn't give up to keep digging for more answer, "Why Axia?"
"Who knows?" She shrugged.
The bookman was well aware this Oracia was playing dumb. "Oracia… means prayer and gold, fitting you hair but prayer?"
Allen kept his mouth shut as he heard that her name means prayer, as memory of fourteenth song echoed on his mind.
The prayers shall return to the earth no matter how many thousands of years have passed…"
"And what you called your brother?" Lavi asked again.
"Onii-sama." She stated.
The redhead was struggling to hold his yell, "Okay… can you please quit playing dumb young lady? Axia… you obviously not helping Allen to recover from this memory problem of his." He stated grumpily, "What's wrong with a little help? You even didn't give your family's name, not even Allen's real name!"
"Oh… he didn't have to, as long as he can live with it… He is fine with being Allen Walker, that means… good for him" She stated tonelessly, "I don't see why I have to force him to remember… it's not really something pleasant to…"
"But I want to!" Allen cut her in, "I already guessed that our life's before I forget everything was not a joyful days as you put it! But I don't think it's bad! I just need to remember… who I was…"
She sighed, and then stood up from her seat. "There is no point telling you Onii-sama, you will remember one way or another. You can't escape from it even if you want to… say… how if you enjoy this exorcist life as long as you could?" Then she took out something out of her pocket, throwing it to the table. It were innocents, and there were three of it. "Take this back to Black Order, this is why you chased me in first place… after all."
Lenalee was annoyed at her but Axia's words at least said that actually she cared of Allen, but trying to appear careless of Allen. "You didn't want to go with us? To be with your brother?"
She laughed, "Me? Black Order? No no no… allying myself with that stuck up priests in Vatican is the last thing I would do in my life!"
"But!"
"I HATE them!" Axia exclaimed angrily, "I don't like human-made organization who claims their policy is the will of god! They think they are the white one in this holy war with Earl? One piece of advises for them! Sins they piled to survive since all of this began would never pardoned by God! For me they are worse than…"
BLAM
"That's quite an interesting conversation…" Kanda smirked as he made his dramatic entrance, which consists of kicking the door open instead of using his hand, and Marie was behind him with apologetic look. "It's quite easy to know where you guys stay with Marie's ears." He informed them haughtily.
"I am sorry for eavesdropping…" Marie said apologetically.
Axia looked at them back and forth then opened the window, "Good bye!"
Kanda scowled, "Wait a minute Bean sprout number two !"
…
…
"Moyashi number two?" Lavi repeated. "Kanda what are you…"
Axia turned back, "What the hell you called me with?"
The Japanese samurai huffed, "Because you are Moyashi's twin and that hair of yours is the same color as bean sprout's bean! As expected as his sister really!"
Her left eyebrow twitched, "You… are you stupid or something? How if I nickname you Bakanda instead?"
Lavi can't help but commenting, "She even came out with the same nickname as you Allen…"
"Anyway…" She trailed off. "I want to go already so…" Axia trailed off as pne of her leg stepped on the window frame but stopped when a katana was just beside her throat. "What do you want now…?" She growled.
"As an innocent user I can't just let someone run away as she pleases like you did, as long as your innocent is still attached on you." He stated with a smirk. "Take some responsibility will you?"
"Kanda!" Lenalee warned, "You can't do that!"
Axia gritted his teeth in anger, "So you want to rip my right hand off?"
"Oh… as expected, a parasite type like Moyashi…" He muttered.
"Kanda…" Allen began, "We can talk about it…"
Kanda sighed, "Don't worry… I am not going to rip her hand off or any permanent injury." He stated confidently, "However I can't stand someone like her, acting on her own accord and seems like she look down on exorcist…"
"Well… and I wonder dragging me all the way to Black Order is any good." She deadpanned.
"Nah… at least our cook would be delighted to have another bottomless stomach he could feed." Kanda deadpanned back.
She narrowed her eyes, "Not interested to be under anyone's control, and trust me… for me to be in Black Order is no good."
"And you expect me to believe that?" Kanda asked incredulously. He gasped when a huge claw opened before his face as if wanted to swallow him, Kanda backed away, startled she had transformed her innocence to something alike with Crown Clown.
"Nice speed…" She commented. "Now… sorry but I have no intention to put up with you guys anymore." Axia stated bitterly, "So goodbye… Onii-sama, exorcist…" And that golden claw swung to the ground
And in the next second the room exploded…
