Emotionless Red

Chapter 24

Red's POV:

'Destroy of time... I kinda like the sound of that considering it could have many meaning but I could guess that it means I kill the Earl. No, I won't make that true for he and Road brought me into this family and I won't destroy it.' I looked at the shocked Komui as he shook his head and thanked Hevlaska. The elevator so began to rise as I stared into the black area, a frown on my lips as my back faced Komui.

'Red, don't worry. This mission will be done soon and you and Road can go on a date or something.' If Neah was here he would be smiling at me.

'Yeah, I guess you're right.' The elevator stopped at the level we got on and I hurried off as Komui skipped after me. "Follow me; we need to get you fitted for your exorcist uniform."

I nodded as I followed Komui to the science wing, I only guest that cause of all the unconscious white lab coat wearing man at their desks with books all around them and papers scattering the floor randomly. We made our way over to a sleeping boy with frizz brown hair, circular glass and green ear phones.

Komui snickered as he lifted up a large book which he then slammed on the desk next to the poor scientist head. The boy jumped up and fixed his glasses, before muttering out a 'Chief Komui'.

"Johnny, young Neah needs an exorcist uniform." Komui slowly backed away to his office leaving me in the science wing with Johnny and the other sleeping members. Johnny slowly got up and out of his chair, stretching as his back let out many popping noises.

He slouched forward slightly and opened up a draw, pulling out a tape measure and walking around the desk and stopping in front of me. "Lift ya arms for me Neah."

I raised my arms as he took my measurements, after a while he let me leave and when I left the science wing I noticed that I have no idea where I am in this tower. I cursed as I wondered around the same floor for a couple hours.

Deciding that maybe I should do some training so finding the training room is and was the best plan for now.

I walked down the empty halls as I tried to find were the training room was and I swear I had walked past the same door nine times. I sighed as I thought of a tune that I had heard a when I was in the city of Mater, the doll had sang it. "Lacrimosa dies illa

Qua resurget ex favilla

Judicandus homo reus.

Huic ergo parce, Deus,

Pie Jesu, Domine

Judicandus homo reus.

Dona eis, requiem! Amen!

Pie Jesu, Domine~"

I walked past the double doors on my left, only for them to smash open to reveal Kanda. He looked at me with narrowed eyes as I jumped and stared at him with wide silver eyes. "Where do you know that song from?"

"I... I don't know. It just came to mind while looking for the training room. I'm sorry." I crossed my arms over my chest as if protecting it from a punch. Kanda sheathed Mugen as he moved closer, looming over me.

"I heard that song throughout Mater while looking for a doll that I found without a heart. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you Red?" Kanda was glaring darkly at me as he turned on his heel, looking over his shoulder before heading back into the training room.

"M-mister... M-my name isn't Red... It's Neah." My shoulders shook slightly as if I were scared as Kanda looked at me from the corner of his eye before mumbling a quiet 'Baka Moyashi' before closing the doors to the training room.

'Okay, scratch training off the list... To the cafeteria, I need something to eat.' As if on cue my stomach growled loudly and that caused me to wrap my arm around my stomach as I made my way down – hopefully – to the cafeteria.

'Does your stomach just growl on command or just growl all the time?' Neah sounded slightly amused as he spoke.

'It growls most of the time but that's only because I have parasitic innocence.'

'Also, can I take control over the body at some time we're here?'

I pondered this for a minute before replying to him. 'Yeah, sure as long as you don't change my appearance to look like a Noah, go ahead.'

I heard Neah cheer slightly in my head as I shook my head and entered the cafeteria. I looked around the room to see a lot of finders looking at me, I ignored them and tried to find some exorcists in the room and the only ones I found were a shaking women and a vampire like one sitting at a table.

I slowly made my way over to the two of them, ignoring the stares that the finders gave me from time to time. The vampire one looked away from the shaking woman and at me, I gave a slight wave as I stood next to the table. "You're Red aren't you? You're not dead that's a good thing. I'm Kory and this is Miranda."

"Sorry, Kory... My name's Neah, not Red," I looked at them as they shared a look before I asked, "May I sit down with you two?"

They nodded their heads as I sat down next to Miranda as she smiled at me slightly, I excused myself to go get some food then came back with many trays. We all sat in uncomfortable silence before Kory asked me a question and then we sat there talking for what felt like hours. I smiled and laughed as they told me embarrassing things they had done or about their misfortune.

'Red, don't get attached. You need to stay focused.'

'I know Neah...' I smiled at them slightly as I pushed myself from my seat, grabbing the empty trays that once held mounds of food. "Sorry, but I best be heading off. It's getting late, goodbye Kory and Miranda."

I waved them off as I headed off to my room with some directions given to me by finders.
