Hkfbjlulz. He thinks dangos are secksy.

(( Continuation of New Comrade. ))

*By the time they made it to the cafeteria, a large line had formed for the lunchtime crowd. Allen moaned. Kaele spotted people to butt-in with.*

"Hey, Lavi! Noise, Miranda!" *She exclaimed, waving her hand. Allen followed.* "You guys are such good friends, wouldn't you agr--"

"You can be behind us, Kaele." *Noise said, stepping forward so there was room for two behind the three of them. Kaele and Allen pouted.*

*Lavi busted out laughing. He wiped tears out of his eyes, saying;* "You guys have the same look on your face, you food whores!"

"Sh-shuddup!" *Kaele exclaimed, her face flushed. Allen laughed a little, not denying the fact.*

Michi sniffed the air.

"I smell food."

She followed the scent of food till she reached the food court. Then, she heard familiar voices. Michiyo clenched her fists. It was Allen and Kaele. She knew Kaele would be very uncomfortable and she would feel weird because when she peeked in, all of them were wearing their uniforms and she was wearing something completely different.

I'll wait outside, the tomboy decided, running a hand through her short hair. She switched the song to f(x)'s "Lachata". She smiled. She knew the dance for this song, but she didn't dare to do it. Not now. Her footsteps will attract attention.

She closed her eyes.

*Kaele clenched her fists, feeling the presense of enemies.*

"What's wrong?" *Miranda asked feebly.*

*Kaele narrowed her eyes dramatically, invoking her Innocence, and scanning the cafeteria with burning blue eyes. (Weak X-ray vision.) All she could see was finders and a few exorcists, but she spied foreign apparel, and what she remembered to be Mikaki-chii's clothes, slip behind the main archway. She pushed the flames in her eyes down to her hands, glaring at the door.*

"Uh... Kaele-chan?" *Miranda asked, still confused, just like the rest of them were.*

"KAELE CUT IT OUT, YOU'RE FREAKIN ME OUT HERE!!" *Lavi exclaimed, shaking her shoulders vigorously. (Overdramatically.) She unactivated her flames and karate-chopped his head.*

"You cut it out!" *She exclaimed in giggles, not able to hold a straight face while he cowered behind Allen.*

Michi felt that someone was pissed at her, so she activated her Innocence. Her eyes changed colour. The air around her swirled.

"I sense Kaele's pissed at me," Michi mumbled and let out an exasperated sigh. She stepped into the doorway and went up to Kaele.

"If you're pissed, just let me know," Michi said, with slight annoyance in her tone. She glanced at Allen. "I know you guys are together and he helped me just now...is that why you're pissed? Cause honestly..."

Michi gave a small smile.

"I'll support you guys."

*Kaele heard the clicking sound of boots, boots that had not been made for finders or exorcists. She turned around, facing [Insert dramatic drumroll.] MICHIYO!*

*She flared up, her mind hissing like an angry cat. She straightened up her back, trying to intimidate her like an animal. Lavi and the others couldn't help but giggle.*

"If you're pissed, just let me know. I know you guys are together and he helped me just now...is that why you're pissed? Cause honestly... I'll support you guys."

*Allen turned so red, he hid behind Lavi for cover. Kaele was blushing so hard she thought her nose might bleed.*

"We're not--!" *Allen stuttered from behind Lavi, peeking out from Lavi's shoulder like a scared puppy.*

*Kaele's (( More like mine, but whatever. =w= )) fangirl nature went bezerk. EEEEEEYYAAAAHHH!!! KARE WA KAWAII DESSSSU NEE!! But. She couldn't act this way. She calmed herself slightly and narrowed her eyes at Michiyo.*

"This isn't over." *She mumbled, the blush still very visible on her face.* "I will win!" *She exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air like a preppy cheerleader.*

(( This is getting more hilarious XD ))

"I think you've won long time ago," Michi said. "Besides, I don't think I have time for any relationship of the sort. Kaele, you're full of cute and hyperactivity that most guys would like."

She patted Kaele on the head.

"You're such an adorable kid."

Michi then turned to Lavi, Noise and Miranda. "Yosh, name's Michiyo. Michi is just fine."

Lavi enthusiastically introduced himself first.

"I'm Lavi~! Nice to meet you, Michi-chan!"

"I'm Noise. Pleasure to meet you."

"My name is Miranda. I'm also very glad to meet you."

Michi smiled. She had met new people and to her surprise, they were pretty nice and lively. She had a feeling she could get along with all of them (except maybe Kaele)

Suddenly, Michi's eyes turned hollow. She turned behind and noticed a silhouette there. It was a human figure, but there were some defects about it. Allen's left eye activated too.

"Allen, do you see it?"

Allen, lips tightly pursed, replied with a nod. "Hai."

"Innocence, activate!" Allen shouted and dashed out of the food court, with Michi, Innocence already activated, following him down there. Michiyo manipulated the air to rest at the sole of her feet and boosted off. She managed to catch up with Allen and the Akuma, who was running after the enemy.

(( Awweh, sadfaec. ;__; I was having funnn. ))

*Kaele's face went blank for a moment, her face blushing slightly, but mostly just pale. Then she narrowed her eyes to silver slits at the girl. She's playing the goody-game, huh?!? TWO CAN PLAY AT THATTTTT.*

*Even though she'd wanted to be a 'good girl', everytime someone introduced themselves, she glared them down. Lavi, you backstabber! She cried out in her mind.*

*Allen laughed a little bit then twitched. From the years Kaele had spent with him, she knew what was happening.*

*She turned to him and put her hand on his left arm, speaking in a serious tone;* "Where--"

"Allen, do you see it?"

*Kaele turned to see Michiyo, her eyes like an ominous never ending mirror. Kaele froze, her arm in the same place as Allen moved away from her stealthily. As she heard him activate his arm, and watch Michiyo follow, each leap they took hurt worse than the last. Noise and Miranda hesitantly faced back towards the line, thinking they had it covered. The entire food court soon went back to the way it was before.*

*Lavi sighed. Allen... You don't know anything, you naive idiot. He reached out his arm towards her, who seemed to be feeling the sting of rejection. (Even though it really wasn't.* "Kaele..."

*She let him brush her arm, but she wouldn't extend hers. I... I can't do that, not even with my... Allen doesn't... Need... What am I supp... But we... Mom.. Her thoughts were jumbled and only confusing her, her eyes brimming with tears.*

*Lavi was sort of shocked. He'd never seen her like this. (Usually Kaele was gone for a good two days when Allen left for missions.) She was always so hyper and awkward. What... Is this what she's doing when Allen leaves...? He pulled his hand back, not saying anything, but stayed near her for comfort.*

(( Lulz...okay, okay. Will give you fun! ))

Michi and Allen moved side by side, their main target to drive the Akuma into a corner and kill it. The air swirled around Michi and she then felt an atmosphere. It was filled with sadness and it originated from the food court.

"Allen, go back."

The boy widened his eyes in surprise. "No way, I'm not leaving you to fight this Akuma! It's probably a level two, since it can change its form."

As they gained onto the Akuma, the tomboy noticed that the silhouette looked familiar.

Is it...no way, it can't be, she thought to herself, recalling an earlier event. She switched her current song to a fast playing one and it boosted her Innocence. The Akuma had already reverted to its original form, so Michi was able to see its face when she cornered it from the front. Her eyes widened like saucers.

"It's you!" she muttered.

(( Her history begins to unfold here ))

"Michi, focus!" Allen shouted, preparing to attack the level two Akuma. The tomboy stood like a stone for a few moments, trying to take in everything that she saw.

The Akuma eyed her, grinned a sickening grin and said, "Hmm, you look familiar...oh! I know! You're the kid of those two people I killed that day! If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have died, would they? Heeheehee, I'm in luck! I've finally found you!"

"Shut up!"

Michi sent a kick towards the enemy. Allen slashed at the demon, but the demon avoided both of their attacks. The girl manipulated the air at the bottom of her feet to become drills, but she sneaked a glance at Allen's Innocence. It was his arm and it was a white claw-like Innocence. The feeling of sadness in the atmosphere became stronger.

"Allen, go back to Kaele." Michi demanded. Allen stared at her with reluctance written all over his face.

"It's my fight. It's looking for me, not you."

She sent a gust of wind spiraling in his direction. Despite his reluctance, Allen left the battlefield. Michi grinned, anger obvious in her grin and anger hidden within her currently grey eyes.

"Let's finish this, once and for all."

*Lavi didn't know what to do, Kaele looked really hurt. He figured she must've thought that Allen chose Michi over her. What the hell is she thinking? Michi's been here for, what, a couple hours?! Not even! But Allen shouldn't have left so quickly either, he knows how she is with being alone...*

*Lavi glanced at the door, seeing a familiar figure in his peripheral vision. He gasped and pointed his finger accusingly towards him.* "Look what you did!" *Lavi called out like a little tattle-tale.*

*Kaele turned around, her fingers trembling on her lips. Her eyes were smoldered silver, the tears spilling over her flushed cheeks.*

*Allen froze, the guilt pouring on. Dammit, you idiot! Why didn't you expect this to happen?! I could tell she thought Michi liked me, and I just egged it on! He scolded himself. Shit! By this time, a majority of the food court was staring at the group like a dinner theatre. The tension seemed to be building as Allen just stood there, Kaele still sniffling. Eventually, everyone looked away. He sighed.*

"Sorry, I was waiting for everyone to look away..." *Allen mumbled, walking forward, opening his arms. Kaele ran forward to his embrace, feeling more like his little sister at the moment than the crush she had on him most of the time.*

"I thought..." *Kaele mumbled inbetween sobs. Allen laughed a little, and so did Lavi. Kaele looked up at him, her eyes filled with fury and salt water. Lavi busted out laughing, causing a slight smile to grow on her face. Allen squeezed tight for a moment, and then let her go, still holding her hand.*

"It's fine, Kaele. You're my only girl friend who I care so much for."

*Kaele yelped, her face turning a bright cherry red. She threw her palms onto her cheeks to cover the blush. She didn't know what he meant, whether a girl who's a friend or a girlfriend. (She ignored the fact that the rest of the context would have meant he had multiple girlfriends.) *

*While Kaele was spazzing out, obviously out of her melancholy, Lavi smacked Allen's arm, squeezing his shoulder. Allen was pale and shocked. Lavi spoke sarcastically;* "Nice choice of words, dude."

"Yahhh!!!!"

That area of the building was practically getting destroyed by Michi and the Akuma, whom she was fighting right now.

"You. Killed. My. Family!" she screamed, rage blinding her senses at the moment. "You will pay!"

Since Michi never fought an Akuma before, the level two Akuma was quite strong for her. It whacked her into the wall again and she was inflicted with more bruises and cuts. They've been fighting for about half an hour and she only managed to inflict a single cut on him. Due to her weak health, she was already exhausted.

"Sayonara, Exorcist!"

The Akuma then grabbed her legs and threw her over the railing of that floor. Stunned, the girl was unable to do anything but welcome the darkness that was awaiting her. With the last of her strength, she summoned up a huge ball of air and sent it flying towards the unsuspecting Akuma, who was hit with it. He then blew up and was destroyed. She smiled.

"I'm glad..."

*After about 10 minutes of waiting in line, Kaele had given up and went to make her own lunch, Lavi, Noise, Miranda, and Allen following to mooch off of her kitchen talents. After they left the noisy cafeteria, they heard what sounded like an intense fight. The 5 exorcists ran towards the sounds, their instincts kicking in. By the time they got there, only Michiyo was in the tattered hall, halfway off of the railing.*

"Michi-chan!" *Miranda exclaimed as she, and the other 3, went running to check her health. Kaele walked up slowly, feeling guilty. (Allen had explained that Michi was merely a friend, not a love interest.) She eventually came up behind everyone else, who seemed to crowd around the newbie exorcist who had already destroyed a Level 2. (( FYI, Kaele knew because of Allen's signals, she's very perceptive when it comes to him. =w= ))*

"That was a --! How did you do that??" *Allen exclaimed while checking her wounds.*

Michiyo, despite her wounds, laughed happily. She finally managed to defeat the demon, the very same demon that wiped out the existence of her family.

"That was a --! How did you do that??"

"That stupid Akuma wasn't expecting it! He thought he literally threw me off the railing! Heeheehee," Michi explained, half dazed from the fight. She pulled herself off the railing, with Miranda and Lavi supporting her. After shaking off the daze, all her anger and hatred came rushing back and she unconsciously punched the floor repeatedly till her knuckles bled.

"...okay, that felt much better."

From a third person's point of view, everyone had a sweatdrop look on their faces.

"Ehh, you should watch it, Michi. Wounds aren't things you want, correct?" *Allen mumbled in a nervous high pitch. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. It was quiet for a moment, until Kaele's stomach growled. She blushed, covering her stomach with her hands.*

"Uh, I guess I'll go make some lunch..." *She mumbled, walking away embarrasedly.*

"Wait up, I want to taste test~!" *Lavi exclaimed, holding Michiyo up until Noise took his spot and ran behind the girl excitedly. Allen sighed.*

"Well, let's get you to the infirmary. We'll bring you some delectable lunch, okay?" *He asked, trying to smile but grimacing as he thought of the disgusting food they served patients in the hospital wing.*

(( I'm gonna reformat her entire profile. Michi, that is, so her personality may be tweaked a bit ))

"Hai," Michi responded breathlessly. Now that the action was gone, her blood was rushing through her body started to slow down and because she was bleeding, a lot of blood had been lost. Her blood is flowing slowly...too slowly, to be exact.

Oh no...

Her grip on Noise was loosened as she felt herself falling forward, shuddering.

Can't breathe! You bloody condition of mine!

She looked at Kaele, Allen and Lavi who were in front of her. A horrified expression appeared on their faces. She could hear Miranda's voice calling out for her...

Gomenasai, minna-san...

"Michi~!"

"Waaa! Michi~!" *Miranda exclaimed, obviously freaking out. Noise caught the fainting girl, hoisting her up and checking her forehead.*

"She okay?!" *Allen asked, side by side with Kaele and Lavi, stretching up on their toes to see Michi. (Even though Lavi really didn't have to stretch.)*

"Michi has a slight fever.. Do you guys have to be so loud?" *Noise inquired with a whine, rubbing his ears. Kaele jumped away blushing while the two boys grimaced and then smiled mischeviously. Noise rolled his eyes.* "Come on."

*They went back inside, walking towards the infirmary. Allen stomach grumbled. He moaned.*

"Let's go to the cafeteria, Allen." *Lavi said.*

"Yeah, Noise and Miranda have it covered!" *Kaele exclaimed, dragging the two boys towards the north hall. As the guys walked at their own pace, Kaele waved to the two adults.* "Thanks!"

(( Move to infimary or room? XD ))

(( Uh. How about we do an elapse to dinner and Michi's okay and bandaged up? xD *Super lazy.* ))

(( ...that works too. XD ))

*Allen walked down the hall towards the food court, lugging Kaele on his back, although she really wasn't that heavy. It was more the fact that she was wrapping her legs around his waist, and he was all flushed that he couldn't concentrate. He debated invoking his Innocence to make it easier, but he thought he would make her think he was a whimp.*

"All right!" *Kaele exclaimed as Allen came upon the archways. She jumped off; Allen exhaled deeply, his face still red. She cocked her head, pointing her index finger on his cheek.* "You okay? You're all blushy-face."

"I, I'm fine." *He mumbled, standing up straight. He smirked, running for the line for dinner.*

"H-hey! Cheater!" *Kaele exclaimed in between giggles, blasting off behind him.*

Michi strolled down the corridor towards the food court, her stomach screaming for food. It had been a few hours since she passed out, but she recovered from her fever quickly and her injuries were patched up. At the moment, she was being accompanied by Lenalee, who had come in to check on her after Noise and Miranda had left. They were little words exchanged between both of them as they were not familiar with each other, but they knew each other's names, of course.

When they neared the food court, Michi slowly detached herself from Lenalee and started to enter the food court, but Lenalee stopped her.

"I'm coming with you. I don't want you to pass out because of your low blood pressure," Lenalee said with a worried expression on her face. Michiyo stared at her for a few seconds and nodded with a slight smile on her dead face.

"Okay, sure."

Lenalee led Michi to a table and forced her to sit there while she waited in the dinner line to get food for both Michi and herself. The tomboy laid her head on the table to rest. As she felt around her neck, she realized something was missing.

My headphones!

*Kaele and Allen walked away from Jerry's little window very satasfied; Kaele had a tray full of traditional fried rice with shrimp, her latest craving. Meanwhile, Allen was pushing a cart full of various dishes from all the places he'd visited, with almost a whole shelf for dangos. He spotted Michiyo in a rather meloncholic state at a table and navigated towards her table. Kaele hesitantly followed, hoping it wasn't awkward between the two girls.*

"Oh, hey Lenalee." *Kaele said, waving at Lenalee as she set her tray down.*

"Good evening, Kaele." *She replied in her usual polite manner. Lenalee sighed when Allen finally got there with his cart. She spoke humorously;* "We're all quite surprised you're not fat, you glutton."

*He giggled in a manly way. (Sure.)* "Shh! Komui told me that if I get this much food all the time that I'll have to start paying some of the bill."

"Like Jerry would let you pay!" *Kaele whispered intentionally loud. Allen gasped, making a face similar to D: while the two girls laughed. Kaele calmed down a little, wiping a tear from her eye.* "So how're you, Mimaki-chii?"

"Hmm? I'm fine," Michi responded to Kaele's question, a smile forcing its way onto her face. Kaele and Allen were apparently Lenalee placed a tray in front of Michi, which she assumed to be her dinner. It was soba.

How did she know I love Japanese food? Michi wondered to herself. She sent a questioning glance at Lenalee.

"My brother showed me your info," the girl explained. "So I knew what food you'd like. Besides, your fever just went down, so it's better for you to be eating something cold."

Michi nodded.

"Hey guys, have you seen my headphones and my MP3?"

"Erm, no, I haven't..." *Allen trailed off, a spagetti noodle hanging from his mouth as he glanced over at Kaele and Lenalee.*

*Kaele sighed, plucking the unsightly food item from his face. She sighed while she murmured;* "I haven't seen it since you went to the infirmary, and it was in your ears."

*Lenalee smiled feebly as Allen blushed and stuffed his face with more food.* "I haven't seen it either, Michi. Perhaps you left it next to your cot?"

"Aish..." Michi sighed. "Anyways, I'm digging in."

She picked up her fork and said, "Itadakimasu."

Michi ate in silence, ignoring the chatter of the food court and somewhat undeterred by the presence of her new comrades.

*Kaele ate her food, protecting the tray unconciously. (Because she's always eaten next to the biggest food whore in the Order since she was a tween.) Lenalee picked at her tray, eating little bits at a time. Allen was practically a vacumn. After a moment, Lenalee tried to start a conversation.*

"So, Michi, how're you liking the Black Order so far?" *She asked with a smile.*

"Mmf?" *Allen asked with a bread loaf in his mouth.*

*Kaele giggled and smacked his shoulder lightly.* "Not you. Go on, Mimaki-chii."
