Emotionless Red

Chapter 15

Earl's POV:

I rocked back and forth on my chair as I knitted a red and black scarf, waiting for Red to walk in to my office. My smile wide, I had called Red to my office to discuss about him going to the Order and gathering information. I heard a knock on the door, I sung out 'Come in~'. The door creaked open to reveal the little eleven years old, Red. He walked into the room, his feet echoing in the quiet room, setting unease feeling in the room. I chuckled as he stopped in front of me. "Earl, you wanted me?"

"Ah, Red...Have you revealed yourself to any exorcists that are alive?" I asked not sure if he had or not but considering I said he wasn't allowed to he most likely hadn't. He shook his head, no. "Good because I'm sending you to the Order to gather information and I will be picking you up when I have enough information. You will be leaving in five hours. Goodbye Red." With that Red bowed slightly and turned on his heel, the way he walked out made him look kinda sad.

Red's POV:

I walked slowly down the hall a frown on my face, I knew this was going to come into play soon but I didn't expected now. I won't get to see Road for a while so might spend the rest of my time playing a game with her. I headed in the direction of my room to pack quickly before I head over to see Road.

After packing I walked over to Road's room, I knocked on the door and heard light footsteps until the door creaked open to reveal a smiling Road. She ushered me into her creepy doll bed room, there were dolls in every corner and a bed in the middle of the room. Road had Lero in her hand as she spun around laughing, a small hardly seen smile was on my face as Lero screamed for help. "Excuse me Road but I'll be leaving in ...four hours." I said as I check my pocket watch.

Road frowned at this and her eyes darken slightly. "Where are you going this time?"

"To the Black Order." Her violet eyes widened slightly, tears looked to be welling in her eyes. "But don't worry I'll be back soon, Road." She hugged me and I felt my cheeks heat up a little. 'What....why does my face feel hot?'

I shook off the thought as Road pulled away from me, a wide smile on her face as she moved closer to her checkered door. "Hey, Red you want to go torment humans?" I shrugged as she opened her door to a small village in the middle of nowhere.

She materialized some candles and sent them flying at some random people that were passing by. I activated my innocence and started to claw at some of the people that Road wasn't attacking. I chased some couple and a finder down an alleyway, an inhuman smile spread across my face. "W-why are you d-doing this boy?"

The couple stuttered as I moved closer to them, my smile widening as I chuckled lowly. "Why? Well it's fun and this is the last bit of family bonding until I leave to join your side." I looked at the finder for the last bit, she shivered as her pale blue eyes widened.

I lifted my clawed black hand up reading to end their lives when faint shouting that sounded familiar, exorcists. I looked at the finder, my eyes narrowed as I strike her with my claws across her chest, blood splattering on the wall and ground as her body falls to the ground limp. I look at the couple a creepy smile spreading across my face. "You didn't see anything..." With that I climbed onto the roof and ran away as three exorcists ran to the scene.

I found Road a couple streets away and when I told her that exorcist in the town she pouted, she opened one of her doors and we returned to the Ark, Road covered in some blood and then me with my left arm dripping with it.

After cleaning all the blood off us, I headed to the dining room to have a 'snack' and then leave to a town, Road following. She followed me until she could go no further because of being near exorcists, Road hugged me as we stood on a roof near the centre of the town. "Goodbye Red, I'll see you in your dreams. The Earl would want to know how you're doing."

She let go with a smile on her face but if you looked into her violet eyes you would see that she is sad. "Only if the Earl would let you come in doll form could you come along. Goodbye, Road." I felt something in my chest, like something was stabbing my heart when I was about to walk away from Road.

"Wait...Do you think the Earl would let me come with you if I were in doll form?" Road asked looking happier, I shrugged as she ran through one of her doors to ask the Earl, I stood there blinking at the door. 'When did that get there?'

Two minutes later Road came back with a wide smile across her face; she reverted to her doll form, which looked like a tiny version of her but she was wearing a dark purple dress with a light pink bow around her throat. She stopped at my feet and looked up at me with her arms held out. I think the Earl said she could come along; I picked her up and sat her on my shoulder.

"Hold on Road, we need to get the exorcist attention. Can you call a level two in the area as well as a couple of level ones, please?" She nodded and as on que a building near them blew up and a spider-snake like akuma appeared with a couple level ones. I nodded to Road as the Akumas started to attack the town's people, the exorcist running to the scene.

I launched myself from the roof coming down on one of the Akumas as I activated Crown Clown; I had gained Crown Clown before I was stabbed in the chest. Stupid Kanda. I stabbed the Akuma I landed on and jumped to the next one, Road resting under the cloak of Crown Clown protected.

I looked at the exorcist out the corner of my eye, one was a boy with head phone like thing on his head and he was killing the Akuma with these thread like things, the other was an older man with frizzy brown hair and glassed and the last one was...oh, please no...how did he get here, Kanda...
