Time Keeper

Chapter 6 Surprise!

//Back Flash// I got out of bed. Allen stood by me the whole way as I walked to the door. "Can we go through that examination now?" I asked Komui. He nodded and opened the doors.

As we walked everyone split away leaving only me, Allen, and Komui. I sucked in a breath. "Nii-chan." Allen looked at me. "I only activated the one innocence. Is that bad?"

Allen shook his head. "Nah, you activated both. It took so much out of you, that you passed out." A moment of paused before he added, "that and the blood loss." I nodded. That made sense. But how had I activated both? I thought it was only one.

I turned my attention to the tattoos. They were where I thought they'd be. Only thing, the tattoo around my ankle had stretched up my leg and over my belly and met the other tattoo at the unfilled circle on my shoulder. I sighed. I wonder what this all meant.

"Did Hevlaska get a good read on me even though I passed out?" I asked. I left room for either of them to answer.

Komui looked back, "Yeah, she did." //End Back Flash//

Komui led me down some more boring hallways. Totally ignoring the question that hung in the air. 'What was it?'

The walk was silent and unpleasant.

Nobody spoke for the rest of the way.

When we finally reached a door, Allen had fallen a step or two behind me. Komui opened the door, holding his arms out wide saying, "Tada~!"

I looked around, it was a lot like the infirmary. okay, not even like. If I didn't know better I would have thought that we were in the infirmary. Just, for one person though. The room was smaller but it had all the colors and equipment as the infirmary. One bed sat in the center of the room.

Komui patted the bed. I took it as my que to sit. Allen came around and sat on the other side of me, he was slightly trembling. What was wrong with Nii-chan? Komui brought out a large needle looking thing, "Can you activate your innocence for me?" He had the creepiest look on his face. I can see why NIi-chan was scared now. I nodded.

I brought my right hand up to my left shoulder. "Activate," I whispered. It activate, but it was different somehow. The weapon came out smoothly, it didn't hurt. I sat there and held the weapon.

"This is only going to hurt a little bit," I heard Komui say. Then I heard a scream. Was that my scream?

The next morning I woke up. My whole body ached. But, at least I woke up in my room for once. That was a nice change. I picked myself up off the bed and got dressed. The usual clothes I had were joined by a black pile. I picked it up.

The top one was capri pants, okay, weird thing was they didn't feel like pants. The next was a skirt. I looked down at the pants I had just put down. Oh, they were leggings. Next I picked up was a shirt. A tank top really. It was black like the rest of the outfit. Lastly I picked up a long exorcist coat. Awesome.

I put them all on, and headed out. To the cafeteria! ....but first the bathroom. I ran to the bathroom.

I finished and walked to the sink. I turned the knob and started washing. The water was cold. Colder than I was expecting. I turned the hot on a little. I looked up. I yelped. In the mirror a figure stood behind me. A tall figure that I really couldn't tell about features. I looked behind me, there was no one there.

I looked back into the mirror to find I was alone once again. What was that? I touched the mirror lightly. My eyes were huge, the purple clearly seen. My eyes were usually dark, "huh, so my eyes are purple." I walked out of the bathroom. I decided it was my imagination. I nodded, agreeing with my own conclusion.

To the cafeteria! er-.... Again!

I made my way to the cafeteria. There weren't many people around. I walked straight to Jerry. "What would you like sugar?" he asked me.

"27 stacks of pancakes, 8 french toasts, and a hot chocolate." I smiled. I made a good choice. I waited a while. Not too long. Jerry handed me the tray. I carried it very carefully, I mean, it was stacked almost to the ceiling. How did he get it out of the kitchen? I almost stumbled. Better watch my feet. Well, there wasn't else much place to look. I sighed and walked to the nearest table.

I wonder what's going to happen today?

"Hello," rang a voice I've heard before. I turned to see General Tiedoll. I nodded a hello because my mouth was full with pancakes. I hadn't even realized that he was here. "Has Komui told you yet?" He asked, the smile he had made his eyes crinkle. Yup, this was a nice man. I shook my head. From how he sounded, he didn't think Komui had told me either.

"You're going to be my apprentice," He stated. He sounded really proud. I think I almost choked to death on a pancake.

"Excuse me?" I sighed, okay this I wasn't expecting.

"To better learn how to use you're innocence." What he said sounded reasonable. "Now, get up!" He said with a clap of his hands. "Time to get to learning!"

What was I going to learn? I sighed an finished quickly. Today is going to be a long day, I know that already for sure. I pushed up from my seat, took care of my dishes, and followed the General out of the cafeteria.

He brought me to a large field, was this still at the Order? "Now, shall we begin?" he asked, his tone was cheery but the look in his eyes made me want to pee my pants. He was dead serious.

He activated his innocence.

I wasn't expecting that.

I backed away. "Uh-" I was cut off.

He charged straight towards me. I looked around frantically. A weapon, I need a weapon. Then it dawned on me. "Oh, yeah! I have a weapon!"

I reached my right hand up to my left shoulder, "activate," I whispered.

A scythe filled my hands, bone white. A blade formed from dripping blood. Okay, that's pretty dang creepy. I raised my scythe up to block the attack. I looked up to see that the General wasn't charging anymore.

"You've passed lesson one," He said with a grin and a thumbs up. I let out a sigh of relief. "Now onto lesson two," He charged towards me, this time he was fully intent on attacking.
