~(Yay! *glomps Soreyal* 8D)~

Maya wasn't paying much attention to the time. Her eyes, once again, were looking over at the one named Kanda. Gah, why was his aura so, so... strange and compelling... She grimaced, his aura was, there was no other way to describe it, attractive. That mystery and power were intriguing, and she was constantly finding herself drawn to it. Ack. She shook her head, tearing her eyes away from the black haired exorcist and strolling over to Allen. With one look, she realized Lenalee would be fine, the barrier hadn't been up long enough to cause any real damage. She then turned back the way they had come "See you back at headquarters..." She said in a very offhand way, her mind still trying to decipher Kanda, holding up a hand in farewell as she walked silently back to the black order. What a day... She'd barely been here a few hours, this place was turning out to be unbelievably active.

~(creative lagg =x)~

((Agh, yes! Sorry about my absence. Been having some RW troubles that are making me...hurt, to say the least.

Go on ahead and add Road, lutino.

Agh, crap...I just can't post. I will as soon as I can. Off to school.))

(( You're doing fine lutino :3, just look how others post to get help <3 ))

BIC|| Kanda stood up, shaking off his pissed off mood as much as he could, but knowing him...it wasn't much. He watched Maya as she left 'Che...where is she going?' he narrowed his eyes and turned back to look at Allen "Oi, Moyashi...go play your damn song so we can get out of here...."

He wanted to go back, he was in much pain from when he hit the wall at full force. "Che...." Kanda didn't want to get fired up again, but images of what happened just now kept replaying in his mind, over and over.

Tyki stared off into the distance, his mind was still on fight that just occured. Allen was much stronger than when they first met in China. He's girn faded away as he looked up at Rhode "....Cyril!? what does he want?...." the Noah got a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach whenever his brother was mentioned. He sighed and slicked his hair back while exiting Rhode's room.  

((gyah~ sorry lame post D: ...but I'm in school now >.>...))

Allen did not raise his head, and his Innocence continued to brush and touch its way over the other exorcists. How could he lift his gaze to them? He was just in their way...he had the potential to become a Noah, their enemy. What was that worth to them? Just more pain and suffering, right? If he lost to the 14th, gave into the Noah's will, he would only bring pain to them.

Then again...there was no way he would lose.

He sniffed pathetically and wiped his nose on his sleeve, pulling Lenalee up in his arms and getting shakily to his feet. He tossed his head, throwing the mask off of his eyes, and raised his eyes uncertainly to them.

No matter what, they were his family, and he had to try to meet their gazes.

"Kanda...please take Lenalee from me..." he spoke hoarsly, smiling weakly at the Japanese exorcist. He handed the unconscious Chinese girl to him without waiting for his answer, then cast his silvery gaze onto Lavi.

"Lavi...you're hurt." he gave the redhead a faint smile and walked to him, curling bands of his Innocence touching the scrapes on his comrade's leg. "It is all right...the Noah is gone and he won't return, I promise..." he looked up into the other exorcist's solitary eye, "...you do not need to be afraid anymore. Fear will cloud your judgement, make you see things differently, paralyze you...but it is over now." he gave a slow nod of his head as Timcanpy settled onto his shoulder, nuzzling against his face happily.

"Timcanpy, open the door to the secret room. I will play the piano for them."

Lenalee paid scant attention to whatever was going on around her, she was still feeling rather dizzy and unstable. A small, whispered sigh escaped her lips as she finally managed to open her eyes, ignoring the blinding light that pained them, focusing immediately on the exorcist who held her. "Kanda?" She asked, she was sure she'd heard Allen's voice. huh. She turned her head, holding back another small tide of dizziness until she'd found the silver haired exorcist. Oh thank god, he was OK. She felt another smile come to her lips as she looked at Kanda. "Please Kanda, you can put me down now..." She wasn't sure if she could stand yet, but she felt like she didn't want to be carried, it was almost like putting an extra burden on her comrades, which she refused to do.

The gateway out. Maya stopped, her eyes on the gate but not registering it was there, she turned, placing herself against a nearby wall and allowing herself to slide down it until she was sat, eyes closed, face upturned. What a day... The ark, the noah's, the "potential" noah... and that damned Kanda. Her eyes snapped open as she swung a fist around to smack into the wall she leaned against. What the hell was wrong with her?! Why couldn't she get that self righteous, stuck up, black haired exorcist out of her head. Damn him. Damn him and his aura. Maya brought her now aching fist to rest over her eyes, flashing a deep green in the light of the ark. She couldn't leave the ark, as much as she felt she needed to... she found she wanted to stay, she felt... like she'd been fated into this, she'd walked through the gate into the ark, there was no going back. Not really. She sighed, leaning her head against the wall, her now throbbing hand simply falling to her side. Well... looks like she wasn't going to get any peace for awhile...

((Like I said...RW issues clouding my mind and proper judgement. Stupid girls...I really just want to punch them. :x))

BIC|| Timcanpy did as it was intructed. "I will send a door for you," Allen spoke as the golem sent him to the secret room. "Wait a few moments and it will appear."

And so he did. He sat at the piano and played, allowing the melody to flow out of his soul and into his hands, which darted over and around the keys effortlessly, flawlessly, the utter perfection of it almost unheard of. There was not much happening to the Ark itself; Allen had no wishes that it could fulfill. A door merely formed beside the stoop upon which Kanda was seated, opening to allow them to enter his secret world.

But his hands never stopped playing the inverted keys. Even without the score, Allen could play. He knew the music by heart now, every note. He hummed along as Timcanpy settled in to its proper place on the piano and projected the score for him, his hands flowing over the keys like water, never missing a beat. The lullaby ingrained in him came from his very soul, from the core of his being, from a part of himself that he never knew existed, and it frightened him.

But he never stopped playing.

The sound of the music was like a drug to him, calming his frazzled nerves and dulling his senses. He would be little more than a toy for any pas.sing akuma or Noah who decided to attack him...until the melody had poured out of him and he was utterly spent, his hands would not stop moving.

((...and this is where you come in, Tyki-san! :D))

~(Understandable UK, understandable DX)~

Lenalee just watched as Allen played. There was nothing she felt like saying or doing. The song was almost too beautiful to ignore. She could imagine how this would help Allen, in a strange sort of way. At the same time, none of this made sense.

Maya had been sat against that wall with a blank mind, her eyes closed, her face upturned. The song flooded over her in gentle waves, and she opened her eyes to that sound. Music? She pushed herself up, standing and looking back towards the way she had come. Wasn't this what that Allen wanted to come here for?... She found herself drawn by that miraculous noise, it was undoubtedly the most beautiful thing she had heard, as she turned on her heel and headed back towards where the others were. She didn't know what sort of significance that sound had, and she *censored*umed, maybe, that if she saw the scene it might make more sense. Although admittedly, she had no idea what she was looking for.

~(Ultra laggy day 8D yay)~

Lenalee had entered the room just before Kanda, only taking her eyes off of Allen when she heard him enter. She sighed, before turning back to face the silver haired exorcist. As much as she wanted to trust him, she couldn't help feeling that if only he had told her more about his worries, she might possibly understand this entire situation better. She shook the idea off, allowing herself to sink into his music once again.

Maya stopped, facing the door that Allen had conjured using the music of his mind and the skill of his hands. She hesitated only a second before taking a step through that door. Heck, she had nothing to lose by remaining here, she'd already accepted she was involved, and there was really no way of escaping it. Darn. She spotted Kanda and felt her face stiffen, her mind going into overdrive. Again. She cursed silently, before leaning herself against the side of the door, her arms crossed and her eyes trained on the floor 2 feet or so in front of her.

~(Maybe i should bring in another noah... *evil thoughts* lol XD)~
