"Don't you ever think about it?"

"First, I'll say "Welcome back" and give everybody a pat on the shoulder…

…

Allen smiled in defeat. "BRING BACK MY FRIENDS! DON'T DISAPPEAR, ARC!" He screamed to the top of his lungs. The city was back in one piece. Lenalee who had been clutching on Arisa's dress, opened her eyes slowly to see the world once again.

"Allen did it!" Arisa smiled in satisfaction. "He returned the Arc back to normal!"

"Allen, if you wanted the door to the secret room to be opened, it will open." Said Cross through the wireless communicator. A door magically appeared in front of the three of them. Arisa opened the door to reveal Allen's unwavering smile. "I know what it is you want to say. Stop making that face at me." Cross continued with a sigh.

"Why?" Allen replied coldly. "That Musical score…"

Cross raised his palm up in the air. "First, I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Arisa walked so that she was beside Cross, while he raised his palm to took hers, entwining it. "There's something I need to tell you about Arisa…" She gulped and shivers slightly, sighing in defeat. Cross continued her speech. "As you know, Arisa got two personalities. Her dark side and her white side. Her dark side is Akira-chan, while the white side is Arisa-sama." The difference in name that Cross just mention creating a thicker atmosphere around them. "As you probably hear, Arisa's was born 16 years ago, because I stained Akira with innocence. Creating another personality within her body." Allen cold sweat trailed down from his forehead to his chin.

"And your point is?"

"Akira has lived longer than you thought. She existed even before you were born. Born as a perfect human being with one disadvantage. She can't grow up after a certain age. Her mind grew more mature, but her body is still a body of a child. As she grew, she began to feel love…"

"Where is this leading to, master?"

"You see… Akira is…"

"DINNERTIMEEEE!" A loud voice suddenly crept at them from inside the room.

"What the?" Allen questioned.

"Somebody must be calling from inside the arc." Cross explained.

"Just wait and see Chaoji, if Allen's hungry he'll come running in an instant! DINNERTIME! STEAK, PASTA, MITARASHI DANGO—"

"This voice…" Arisa commented.

"We have visual." Cross continued.

"IT'S DINNERTIME,A LLEN! DINNERTIMEEEEEE!" Lavi is screaming on a large screen like an idiot. Chaoji looked at him with doubtful eyes. "But wait! If we are alive, that means…" Suddenly a door crept open from beside them, revealing a familiar looking exorcist with long hair and black eyes. Most of his shirt are already gone, he carry a large men on his back. "YUU!"

"Tch—"

"That…Kro-cahn you are carrying there?!"

"Found him on the way… More importantly, what exactly is going on?"

"Well, I don't really know either… OII! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE, BEANSPROUT!" Lavi screamed.

Inside the room, Allen is screaming. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BEANSPROUT, IDIOT LAVI?!" But then he thought 'They can't hear me right?'

Chaoji and Lavi listened at his comment with widened eyes and disbelief. "Ahh, Allen?! Where is he…?" Lavi asked.

"Tch, the beansprout's voice descends from the sky…" Kanda commented with his usual angry-mocking tone.

"THE NAME IS ALLEN, BA-KANDA!"

Just behind them Crowly is regaining his consciousness. "Eli…a…de…"

"Ah! Crow-chan said something!"

Lenalee fall down on her knees, crying in relief. "Thank goodness…"

Arisa patted her head slowly. "Don't cry Lenalee. They are doing okay, right?"

…

The manage to get put from the room and went to meet the others. Lenalee give everyone a big hug, while Arisa fidgeted. 'I'm not really good with reunion…' she thought.

Cross stayed with her, inhaling his cancer-stick and looked at her from the corner of her eyes. "You are not joining them?"

She shook her head. "No. I'm going to disappear after this… You know that." It was her turn now to look at him from the corner of her eye. "It's better to not grow to much attachment." She turned back and entered the secret room once more. "I need to keep an eye on Crowry's condition." Cross only tailing her with a big grin plastered on his face.

"Nee Allen, I didn't see Arisa-chan. Where is she?" Lavi questioned him, raising one of his eyebrows.

"She was just there, standing with my Master, I think she went to take care of Crowly-san he hasn't woken up yet. Arisa and Master are keeping an eye on him, though. Together." Allen found himself dumb-founded by his own words, together with Kanda and Lavi.

"Together…" Lavi thought.

"That womanizer and Arisa…" Allen thought.

"Together?!" Kanda's thought screamed the loudest. Dark auras escapes from his whole body while his eyes beaming.

Arisa kneel down beside Crowly and brought her innocence closer to him, a bluish-green light appear from her palm, and she trailed her palm to all of his injuries.

Cross decided to be the first person to break the ice. "You know Arisa, you have changed a lot since the first time I met you. You know about yourself more now. You are making a lot of friends that you used to be." He sits on the corner of the window and crosses his legs. "I think it's good for you to have a change from that obsessive-friend of yours."

She didn't shifted her gaze at him and continue to heal Crowly's injuries. "You mean, Shion and Faust?"

"Ah, yes… that blue eyed boy. He's like a creepy stalker, while that jade-eyed boy…"

"What?"

"Nothing… But really Arisa, you have changed a lot." Cross said, crouching down to her. "It seems that you are more…wiser and beautiful."

She leaned her head on Cross' chest while tears are starting to rest on the corner of her eyes. "Anita-sa—"

"Sush…" Cross suddenly said while patting her on the head. "I know. I told her not to follow me whatever happened that idiot…"

Arisa looked at him, raising her head higher. Cross' face is smiling, but his eyes looks sad. "The good woman is always a little too feisty for their own good…" Cross continued, caressing her cheek slowly and his thumb trail on the corner of her eye to wipe the tears.

Cross turned his head to see Lavi and Allen staring at them with their jaw opened, Chaoji closes his eyes, but still peeking through some holes, Kanda sighed heavily and Lenalee got a great pink blush on her cheek through her ears.

"THAT'S A CRIME MASTER!" Allen screamed.

Cross is sweat dropping. "No, Allen kun You've got it all wrong…"

"Honestly!" Chaoji screamed.

"Arisa-chan's… purity…" Lavi said in despair as he fall on his knees.

"But, she's a 16 years old. She's a fine woman now!" Cross complained.

"GENER—"Lenalee's words were stopped as the group, including Cross and Arisa sense a heavy dark aura from behind them.

'Uh-oh…' Lavi thought as he runs behind Allen's back to hide himself. 'He snapped…'

The source of the intense aura belongs to none other than Kanda. his eyes beaming red as he grabbed Arisa's arm and drag her out of the room. "Wai—Kanda!" and Kanda closes the door.

The room is filled with awkward silence as they look at the only door in the room. 'What was that just now?' They thought in unison.

Kanda pushes her onto the on of the white building wall and he puts his hands on Arisa's left and right side of her head, preventing her to escape. "Wait Kanda, I can explain…"she complied.

Kanda's frown deepened as he punches the wall with his right hand. Arisa stared at the crater next to her with widened and fearful eyes. Her gaze shifted from the crater to Kanda's eyes. His black orbs stared at her intently. Looking very angry, frustrated, and…a little hint of jealousy. His breaths are ragged and harsh while his hair falls down slowly from his back as he stared at her. He opened his mouth "Tch. Never touch him!"

"Eh. Why? He's my teacher…"Arisa stared at him with widened eyes, trying to figure out why was he angry with her.

He continued to pant and grab the blades of her shoulders as tight as he can. "It's because you are—"

Someone tapped one of Kanda's shoulders with his hand.

"Wow Allen, your teacher got guts!" Lavi commented as he pokes Allen on his wrist.

"No, he's just plain stupid." Allen commented.

Cross tightened his grip on Kanda's shoulder. "It's not good to hurt a weak girl." He looked at Kanda intensely. "Especially when it's one of my students."He said as he narrowed his eyes.

Kanda grinned slightly as he let go of Arisa's shoulder slowly and grabbed Cross's colar. "What do you know, you pervert."

They stared intensely at each other, causing flame like aura to emit into the thin air, electricity flickered at every corner of their eyes when their pupils met.

Arisa who is now beside Allen and Lavi stared at them with confusion as she was trying to think about what just happened. "Lavi, what was that all about?"

Lavi and Allen stared at her. Allen's jaw dropped as Lavi face palmed. 'She's SO DENSE!'They thought in unison.

Just like spring come and go, washing away the feeling of sorrow, numbness and coldness in the air, Komui and all Black Order member welcomed all of them with opened hand. "Welcome home, my fellow exorcists." followed with his usual stupid smile.
