lostmoonchild: I'M BAAAACK! Hehe, took a little while but I did finally pop out a good first chapter. Quick warning, I'm not used to writing modern day fics. *ignores Muse shouting "Liar!"* Okay, fine. Fics where the main characters are from two hundred years in the past being thrown into modern day situations so if it's a bit rocky, that's why. Anyway, let's get this party started!

Chapter One
"Kanda… What if the Order isn't what the world thinks it is? What if it's ultimately creating something more sinister than what the Earl can manage alone?"
A soft groan was heard from beneath the heavy blankets as the alarm clock suddenly started blaring, washing away the remnants of the morning's dream as a slender hand shot out and started searching for the offending electronic. "Son of a bitch!" A teenage girl shouted as she jumped out of bed and hurried to get dressed. Grabbing her cell phone, she immediately dialed a number. "Lavi! I overslept! Cover for me for about fifteen minutes, will ya? Yeah, I'm running out the door right now."
She ran out the door, pausing only long enough to lock it before running down the street. How could she have forgotten to change the time to get up? If she didn't get fired then it was going to be nothing short of a miracle! Maybe she could fake period cramps. Nothing seemed to scare the living daylights out of guys more than a woman on her period, which meant she'd have to fake chocolate cravings.
A grunt left her lips when she suddenly crashed into somebody, her eyes widening as she stared into strangely familiar gray eyes. "Oh, sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you okay?" The boy asked as he helped her up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Look, I gotta run."
"Uh, sure. My name's Allen Walker."
"Lili James*. Look, Allen, I really gotta run. If I'm late, my boss is going to murder me and I can't let one of my best friends get fired."
"Oh, right. Well, then I'll see you around." Allen grinned slightly before watching as she ran off.
His heart clenched tightly as he watched her run away, his memories focusing on the distant memory of his sister. This girl had to be her reincarnation since both girls had the same name and appearances. After two hundred years of searching, had he finally found his sister's reincarnation? Was it possible that he'd find everyone else's reincarnations too?
Taking a deep breath, Allen began walking in the same direction that Lili ran hoping to get some answers.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
"Oh Gods kill me now."
Lavi couldn't help but grin as he watched Lili fake another cramp, watching as she crouched down. "I never got how that helped cramps." Lavi commented lightly before resuming his work.
They both knew their boss was listening in on their conversation so they had to make it convincing. "I never got how a gay guy can be fascinated by a woman's period." Lili responded as she stood back up and got back to work. "So did Gramps get that book for me?"
"Yeah. You wanna swing by after work and pick it up?" Lavi questioned as he put the bowls away.
"Sure. How much am I gonna owe Gramps?"
"Probably a couple weekends dusting those ancient books. You know there was this chick about two hundred years ago that had the exact same spelling for your name? Her name was Lili Walker and she had a brother who was thought to be a traitor."
"Give me a minute. Doe-eyed couple just came in."
Lavi smiled and waited until Lili came back in, listing off the order. "So what'cha think about that?" Lavi questioned.
"You realize earlier today I ran into this guy named Allen Walker?"
"Hey, that's the brother's name."
"You two get back to work! I don't pay you to talk!"
"You pay us to work?" Lili muttered under her breath causing Lavi to snicker.
The two snickered as they began working again, sighing when they heard another customer enter the restaurant. "Hot damn… Lil, check this guy out. He's kinda cute." Lavi said softly as he peeked around the corner.
Lili's jaw dropped when she saw Allen sitting in a booth, looking around with mild interest. "That's the guy I ran into earlier!" Lili hissed, her voice high and panicked. "Oh shit."
"What're you waiting for? I don't pay you to stand around and gawk at customers! Lavi! Get your ass back to those dishes!"
Lavi shrugged a little before returning to the dishwasher. "Welcome to Amintire. My name's Lili and I'll be your waitress today." Lili said as she handed Allen a menu. "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Do you guys have tea?"
"Would you like it hot or cold?"
"Hot please." Allen smiled pleasantly at her. "Can you answer a question for me?"
Lili raised an eyebrow. "Honey, you're cute but I don't think it'd work between us." Lili told him. "People would think we're actually related."
Allen laughed. "No, but that's good to know. Out of everything on the menu, what would you say is the best?" Allen questioned.
"As long as it's Jerry, everything. Just take your time and I'll be back with your tea. A couple scoops of sugar, right?"
"Uh, yeah."
Lili hurriedly excused herself, her heart racing in her chest. How did she possibly know that when she hadn't ever seen him before? "Whoa, what's up?" Lavi asked as he looked up. "Flower, what's going on? You look about ready to wet yourself or faint or something embarrassing."
"The guy didn't tell me how he wanted his tea and I knew he liked two scoops of sugar. How in the-"
Lavi covered her mouth and pulled her into the walk-in freezer, careful not to lock the both of them inside. "Just take a deep breath, Lili. I know you're about to have a full-blown freak out but calm down. The guy can't stay here all day."
"You're right." Lili said with a small nod. "Okay. Bring him on!"
"That's my girl. Now let's get back to work before the boss has a coronary. Remember, you're supposed to be on the rag."
"Yeah and hormonal insanity is typically a warning to all men."
Lili forced herself to stop shaking as she fixed Allen's tea, telling herself that he wasn't stalking her and that he couldn't stay in the small restaurant all day. Could he?
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
He enjoyed the quiet that came with mediating but if he allowed his thoughts to wander and his mind to fall too deeply into a relaxed state, he swore he could see memories he knew weren't his. The more prominent ones, however, were of a girl with green and blue eyes that always seemed to be shining.
There were times he'd see the girl with a boy that had white hair and a scar over his eye. Both were usually eating inhuman amounts of food but they were always so thin as if the food was just passing through them, barely giving their bodies any nutrients. Who were they?
Then he'd see a hyperactive boy with red hair and an eye patch always grinning. "Yuu's underwear!" The redhead shouted.
"Challenge accepted, you retarded rabbit!"
"Kanda!" A Chinese girl shouted.
"Hn."
"Kanda-bear!"
Don't call me that. I'll kill you if you call me that again.
Who were they? What did they mean to him? He couldn't remember ever seeing those people before. Who were they and why did he have memories of them? "Stupid. Come Hell or high water, when this is done I swear we're going to get married." Who did he want to marry?
Lillian Walker… I love you.
Dark eyes widened as pants left the teenager's face, a thin sheet of sweat coating his face. He looked around quietly, taking in the comforting sight of his room. The fact that his foster father hadn't come barging into the room told the teenager that he was safe. Nobody would ever need to know that he was having strange dreams.
Calmly getting out of bed, the teenager tied back his long black hair and grabbed his kendo sword determined to get an hour or so of practice in before he had to deal with his over-emotional foster father. Maybe he could even do a search later on about such strange dreams to see if he couldn't somehow find an answer.
*For those who might not remember, Lili's original last name was James before she took Allen's last name.
lostmoonchild: I was reading through this chapter and originally thought that the restaurant's name should be Naburi but then my muse decided to smuck me one while screaming that it should be different. So I decided to change the name to "Amintire" which translates into "memory." So I'm gonna vanish for a week and I'll see you guys later! Read and review!
