The arrival of the Noah, part 1

[Yu Kanda]

Kanda stood in front of the gate collecting his thoughts, which were all over the place now that he has learned his old enemy has emerged within this world as well. The exorcist was so far gone he didn't even notice someone was approaching from behind. His train of memories was disturbed when a strange new voice spoke from behind him.

"Excuse me, miss?"

Immediately a vein on his forehead was on the verge of bursting. Did someone just referred to him as a woman ?! Annoyed as he was he turned around, saw white hair in the flash he turned and started shouting at what he thought was an old familiar face.

"Damn you bean sprout, are you trying to get on my nerves ?! I will cut you where you stand !"

It took him a moment to realize that the person he was shouting at wasn't Allen Walker, but someone he never met before. Even though the hair was very similar it wasn't Allen. Dante was standing there a bit confused as to what just happened, not only was the person he first perceived as a woman not even female, he also had quite the temper. The swordsman and half demon stared at each other during this awkward moment.

"Wait I recognize you. You were in the tournament weren't you ? I was observing your match from the stance"

The gunslinger didn't like being reminded of the fact he lost his death match against Magus. The battle was fierce, he gave everything he had, but it wasn't enough.

"Yes i was. It was a shameful defeat." Was the only response he gave the exorcist."

Being reminded of his own defeat within the theatre of violence, Kanda quickly brushed it away, "Tsh, that tournament was bullshit anyway. No battle ever happens in a controlled environment like that. So what brings you out here ?"

"I overheard someone near the stands of the coliseum. It seems there is some kind of a demon problem in the Pale moors, something i have some experience in. I decided to travel there myself, perhaps even find this exorcist guy she was referring to.

Kanda's ears took in the information and realized the white haired hunter must have overheard Birgitta talk to someone back at the coliseum.

"Demons hm ? Are you an exorcist yourself ?"

" Not exactly, i just hunt the fuckers, a demon hunter."

This was a term Kanda wasn't familiar with, to his knowledge only exorcists were able to stand against akuma. Only innocence could protect one from the curse they carry in their blood. But this place has shown him allot more strange things, perhaps this demon hunter was for real. And if the Noah were here he could use all the help he can get.

" I see, well I am the exorcist heading to the pale moors that you heard about. And if you are truly a demon hunter as you say you are I could really use some backup."

The words seemed to take Dante by surprise, he didn't expect to find him this easy, he didn't really look like whatever picture Dante had in mind.

"Obviously i cannot decline an invitation to slaughter demons. It has been too long " The hunter said with a smile on his face. Kanda still wasn't too sure about this guy, he would keep an eye on him.

"It is settled then. I will fill you in on the way to the Moors, we still have a way to travel through the Nexus." Kanda turned back towards the gate and stepped through, with Dante following behind him.
