Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I may own -man or -man, but I will NEVER own -Man.
Plot: Alanna, a 17 year old British girl, comes to the Black Order HQ wounded and in need of medical attention. When the doctors cannot help her, Komui Lee, head of HQ, comes in to look at her. Only then does he realize the reason behind her not healing. The wound is infected with an akuma virus and her Innocence is damaged. Once she awakens, Hevelaska tells Komui and Inspector Leverrier that she has crystal type innocence, with her synchronization rate being 79%. She too, like Second Exorcist Yuu Kanda, she has the ability to heal faster than others. She joins the black order as a fine exorcist, but sadly has little experience. As she fights akuma, she unknowingly makes her way to the top, maybe becoming a general herself...

"Brother" said a certain black-haired girl
"Yes?" replied her older brother curiously.
"There's someone strange outside...talking to the gatekeeper... Umm, should we send an exorcist out?"
"Yes, there is a chance. It might be akuma, or worse, Noah."
"Oh, Allen's already there."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
At the gate:
"For the last time, I'm not an akuma!"
"That's what they all say! How can I trust you? Besides, I can sense both dark matter AND akuma virus on you! WAHHHH WWWAAHHHH! AKUMA! AKUMAAAAA!"
It was just then that a young boy, no older than 16, jumped out of the sky, and landed nimbly on the ground.
"Who are you?" said the scary white haired guy with a claw that was apparently attached to his hand.
"Alanna and I assure you, I am NOT an akuma!''
The boy simply raised his eyebrow, clearly not believing her story.
"Look, you can check my bag! I can tell you from now that you will find a piece of dark matter in here, about the size of that…thing, ahh, sorry, claw on your hand." She forced the words out of her mouth, clearly scared for her life.
The boy narrowed his eyes, suspicious, but took the bag that was held out to him. He peered inside, and, sure enough, was a rock. He took the bag to the gatekeeper and told the talking statue to scan it.
"I-it's-SOB- m-most-SOB- defiantly c-lean, the girl c-can pass" the gatekeeper's eyes had narrowed so that they only saw the bag.
The boy put a smile on his face and turned to Alanna, "OK, I guess you can go now, and I apologize for the misunderstanding,"
She shook her head, glad to still be in one piece.
"It's ok." She shouldered her bag and walked through the gate.
"So, nice to meet you, I'm A-"
"WAHHHH! WWWWWWAAAAAAHHHH! AKUMA! AKUMAAAAAAAAAA!"
Allen looked at her strangely, as if all of a sudden he didn't trust her, as if he hadn't been conversing with her just a few seconds ago.
Alanna could only sigh exasperatedly, ''Look, I'm not an akuma, but this…this…thing" she explained, pointing in the general direction of the gatekeeper, "Only thinks I'm an akuma because I have the virus on my finger!"
Allen looked at her, then at gatekeeper, then at her again.
"Why don't I trust you?"
Alanna was at a loss for words. The boy lunged forward, drawing his sword out of his hand so fast that all she saw was green flash and a sword was pressed to her neck.
"Who are you, really?" (A/N: I felt all ''mission impossible'' when I wrote this!)
"I'm Alanna, but I have a reference letter! So if you would be so kind as to put that sword away," she said, panic clawing at her chest.
"Where from?"
"Umm, Central?"
"And how can u believe you?" he said, starting to attack.
"Out of your good heart?"
"No way!"
I wonder what's wrong with his eye. The girl thought, dodging the attacks, why is it so swollen up?
The girl called Alanna stumbled and fell, giving Allen the perfect chance to kill the "akuma".
"What the hell are you doing?" shouted a deep voice from behind him, right into his ear. Allen was grabbed from behind and thrown across the space, right into the gatekeeper's bawling face.
"Oww! What was that for?" yelled the gatekeeper.
"Ughnn..."
"Stupid apprentice! What exactly do you think you're doing?"
"Killing a possible akuma!"
"You idiot! Can't u see that this is not an akuma?"
"OBVIOSLY NOT SHISHOU! My eye was damaged on my last mission!"
"Honestly, where's you left eye when you need it? That is not an akuma!"
"How can you tell, Shishou? It's not like you have a cursed eye as well!"
The larger man, obviously the white haired boy's teacher, grabbed the boy by his collar and easily lifted him off his feet, then whispered something into his ear. The boy's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
"Say this to anyone, and your head will be severed off in the morning, got that?"
The obviously scared-of -his-master boy nodded vigorously, getting the point. Just to show his apprentice that he was serious, he dumped the boy on the stone ground, the approached Alanna, more and more cautious the closer he came. Her head being down, he slowly and carefully touched her shoulder. She seemed to jolt back into reality and looked at him with eyes full of alarm and fear. "It's ok now; No one's going to attack you now, especially that idiot over there". He jolted his thumb over his shoulder. He helped her up and noticed she was injured. "Were you already injured, or did Allen hurt you?"
She looked at him with questioning eyes.
"The guy with the sword."
"No, I was already injured" her voice soft and quiet. As she and General Cross started to walk, she let out a groan, her slender face rigid with pain. He sighed, exasperated, and picked her up bridal style, but careful not to put any stress on her injury, which he could see was diagonal across her stomach. The cut was small, but very deep.
"Thank you" her voice reached his ears as he was pondering how she could sustain such a heavy injury.
"Don't mention it," he said, and then looking at her face, he added," Really, don't tell anyone"
She weakly nodded her head, and then rested it against the man's (Cross's) chest, wondering for a moment where in earth her father was before blackness took over.
