To Be An Exorcist (Kanda Fanfiction)

9th Chapter- Forbidden Lotus

-Naomi's View-

I woke up, feeling more full of energy than I had in weeks. I had slept for three weeks in a row, which was mentally exhausting considering the torture that Matt sent me through during my time there. I shuddered, shaking my head to forget the dreams. A nurse helped me out of the hospital bed, and into clothes Komui had left me. I nodded in thanks, walking out of the ward.

"Now..where was my room again?" I said to myself, walking around. "It doesn't help that these all look exactly the same." I probably spent twenty minutes walking around looking until I found Allen. "Oh hey, Allen!" I waved my hand to get his attention.

"Oh Naomi? I haven't seen you lately. Are you better?" he asked.

I nodded. "Been feeling a lot better than I have in weeks," I smiled.

"That's good. What'd you need?"

"Oh yeah. Do you know where my room is..I uh, kind of forgot," I admitted sheepishly.

He gave his signature friendly smile. "Yeah. Follow me." He led me down a hallway and pushed open a door. "This one's yours, I'm sure of it, because it's two doors from mine," he gave another smile.

"Thanks Allen," I waved goodbye, walking into my room and closing the door. A sudden thought struck me like a bullet.

My staff.

I burst out of my room, catching up with Allen. "Wait Allen!"

"Huh?" he turned around.

"Do you know what happened to my staff?" I pleaded.

He shook his head. "No I don't I'm sorry. Try asking Komui or Kanda."

"I will," I nodded, and we headed our separate ways.

<~~~~>

"What do you mean I can't have my staff back, it's mine!" I yelled, slamming my palms onto Komui's desk in frustration.

"I'm afraid you can't have it back until you've trained more," Komui crossed his arms.

"How am I supposed to train without my staff?!" He placed a wooden staff onto the table. An annoyed mark appeared on my face. "You're joking, right?" I said quietly, clenching my fists.

"No."

"IM GOING TO KILL YOU KOMUI!" The door opened and Lenalee walked in. I turned around to see her, giving a forced smile. "Hello Lenalee," I waved.

"Lenalee save me from our cousin!" Komui cried, clinging to Lenalee.

"Huh? What happened?" She was confused.

I pointed at him angrily. "He took my staff!"

"Please Lenalee help me you have to understand I had to her injuries were so severe she can't go back out until she knows what she's doing and if I give her the staff she'll go back out!" Komui rambled.

Lenalee sighed. "Hey Naomi, care to join me for lunch?"

I hung my head, there was no getting my staff back. I gripped the wooden one. "No I'm going to go train." I walked past both of them, dragging an excuse for my staff behind me. I walked back in a few minutes later.

"Can you direct me somewhere I can train?" I asked sheepishly.

Lenalee nodded. "Yeah of course. Follow me." We left Komui's office, Lenalee leading the way. "He's only doing it to protect you," Lenalee commented quietly after a while.

I sighed. "Yeah I suppose."

"Here we are. The training hall," Lenalee announced, opening a door revealing many exorcists fighting against trainers, practicing on dummies, or learning new techniques. She walked up to a man clad in an exorcist coat of white. "Komui did me the honor of telling me who your trainer is."
