Author's Notes:

These two short stories are a reply to a request on the D. Gray-Man kinkmeme. As there were two suggestions I also wrote two alternating stories.

The first one which I now present to you, bases itself on a post-war setting where the Noahs have won the war.

Even though it was on the kink meme, this one-shot is more plot-driven than kinky, I very much went for the atmosphere of this world.

Thanks goes to the original requester on the meme for requesting this and I hope you all can enjoy it! :3

Days of Darkness

Getting by in a world where darkness reigned was not a very worthwhile lifestyle. Ellen had learnt the hard way that surviving the end of the world was the cruelest thing that could ever happen to a person.

-

She was running though the narrow space of two nearly collapsed buildings, almost slipping on the wet floor while the rain kept on pouring down on her. She couldn't remember when she had last seen a cloudless sky, when she has last been dry or when she had last walked instead of run. But this was the world of the 20th century, this was the world where Innocence had been corrupted. Ellen truly hadn't expected the exorcists to lose this war – why should she have? They had been doing just fine, but then they had run out of time. Just like that. And Ellen witnessed the Second Coming of the Three Days of Darkness. She had thought that she would die fighting Akuma, Noah, the Earl, but right now she was just struggling to get by. Three days of Darkness had extended into weeks, months, maybe it had already been a year. Ellen lost track of time, just like she had previously lost track of how many miles she had walked into the direction set before her. Now she did no longer know where to run, but she simply couldn't give up.

Ellen got to a stop under a partly caved in arcade to catch her breath. Next to her was the window of an abandoned shop and she could see her reflection in it. She was wet, her long white hair sticking to her face and her body, her clothes – remnants of her time as an Exorcist General – were torn and dirty and equally wet. She inched a bit closer, inspecting her face; she hadn't changed that much, had she? There still was that red mark on the left side of her face, the same white hair and the same pale grey eyes. She had grown a bit, become a bit older; now she was an adult and she was a woman. But, there was no mistaking; she was simply a human trying to survive in a world where humans no longer had a place to stay. The Heart of Innocence had been smashed, her Innocence arm had just surprisingly turned into an ordinary arm, with a cross shaped scar in the back of her hand. Their god-given weapon was gone, the only thing humanity had left was themselves. Ellen wondered if they could still try resisting. They were not extinct yet, but there were only a handful of people left to face the monstrosities this new world of Darkness had to offer. Well, it was not like Ellen to just give up like that, she knew that humans were not that weak. Ellen gave her reflection one last glance, then she left the shelter of the arcade and continued running. Even in this world she was needed, even in this world she had responsibilities. There was no way that Ellen would be giving up!

-

The downpour had not got any weaker by the time she reached her destination. She had left her temporarily house to fetch something to eat. Of course, there weren't many options left anymore, especially not in godforsaken London, but humans were obstinate enough to defy all odds. Truth to be told, it looked bad for humanity and the loss of Innocence had driven them further into decay. Hence, the "marketplace" was a dreadful place for any human to be – women especially, that's why you never saw any in the streets to begin with. They had returned to old structures which had proven to be suitable in earlier days: women stayed at home, took care of the children, tried to get the water out of their wet dwellings, while the men attempted to provide for the means to survive. Ellen was not particularly fond of these constraints, but she knew that they probably were gladly accepted by the remaining female population. When Ellen arrived at the marketplace she instantly was overtaken by the foul stench of the market. She breathed in as much of the cleaner air as she could and passed the gates of the marketplace. It had found its new place in the railway station because this location was relatively dry. But this also meant that everyone tried to get themselves a place in the narrow space. Ellen hurried along the dark corridor and got to the loud and fuming part of the actual marketplace. Trains were still being used, but rarely, because there was no place to run to, everywhere was equally dreadful. The wagons were mostly used as homes or as shops, even though most people preferred to display their goods right on the floor on a stinking blanket or something like that. Ellen was glad that she was rarely required to come here, now that she had no Innocence left feeding off her body, she no longer needed to eat as much as before. She had some money in her pocket and was now walking around the stinking marked, trying to avoid the fish and raw meat as best as she could. Vegetables weren't that fresh either and bread was not tasty because it was just always wet. The vendors kept looking at her with grinning faces, but the overseers prevented anybody from actually daring to try more than steal Ellen's money. There were still those humans who were better off than others, those that knew how to get their profit out of this corrupted world. Ellen was not an overseer, but she was still not struggling as much as others, maybe because she was used to being poor. Being associated with the late Black Order had its good and bad sides; some respected them and the overseers were often getting them discounts, but most of the humans blamed them for losing the war and for the bad situation they were now in. While Ellen got angry at being treated like a traitor (again!) she couldn't help but understand them. She herself felt responsible for not being able to stop the Earl before their time had run out. But there was no sense in trying to change the past; they had lost. But that didn't mean that they could not try to fight again.

She paid the man sitting on the floor for some milk and clean water, then she rechecked if she had everything she needed; bread, some vegetables, water, milk and some new matches. That should be all. Ellen put all the things back into the woollen bag she was carrying and walked back to the exit of the market. Of course it was still raining and the clouds over her head made it impossible to judge what time it was. She was shivering again the moment the cold rain hit her – at least it was not winter. One day, Ellen thought to herself, she would get an umbrella. The girl sighed, she was back to these simple wishes again, like back when she used to travel with Mana. She started running once she left the marketplace, because one never walked in the streets of London. It was hard to say what kept hiding in the shadows of the crumbled houses or broken carriages. Finally, Ellen made it back to the area where she lived in, a small sigh escaping her lips. From the road she was standing on she could see the small house she inhabited further down. She tightened her grip on her bag and wanted to hurry down the street, but suddenly she flinched, because something was off. She looked upwards and could see an umbrella held over her, then she became aware of the presence behind her and whirled around.

"Look what we have here," the voice of the dark figure spoke up and Ellen immediately recognized him, "a woman out on the streets at," the figure pulled a golden watch out of the pocket of their jacket and studied it, "Six in the evening. Not that it mattered anyway." Ellen tried to stay calm, because there was absolutely nothing that she could do now – she had no Innocence and no other weapon. Throwing potatoes at her opponent probably would not work out.

"Oh," she started with a small smile, "fancy meeting you here, Lord Tyki Mikk". The dark skinned man grinned and bent down just slightly to study Ellen with a haughty expression.

"Why aren't you home breeding and feeding tragedies, like humans are supposed to do?" Tyki wondered in amusement and Ellen hissed at him:

"I was just on my way back".

"Hum, sorry, that won't do. Why don't you accompany me home?" Tyki wondered, "just to recall the good old days where you were still struggling." Ellen glared at the Portuguese nobleman in front of her. Tyki sighed dramatically when he didn't receive an answer, "Let me elaborate on my previous statement: this is not a request, girlie. If you don't come with me then you'll just have to lead me to your home instead. I'm sure that we could also have fun there." Ellen widened her eyes, then she lowered her head, glaring at the floor. "I see, still those determined eyes, but with a little bit of hopelessness mixed in. I am pretty fond of that," Tyki stated at if he was commenting on a picture. Ellen didn't reply anything, of course, she would have liked to hurt him right there and then for threatening her friends, but she just couldn't. It was very frustrating. Tyki raised his hand and put the umbrella over Ellen's head and Rhode's door appeared before them.

"Let us go then, I am not fond of wet places."

-

It was the first time in ages that Ellen was standing in a dry room, a room that looked as if the Three Days of Darkness had never happened. It made her immensely sad, because this room – a simple room – reminded her of all the things that she had not been able to save. Friends, humans, the world. While Ellen was giving herself over to melancholic thoughts, Tyki was standing at the window, looking out into the darkness that engulfed London. He had always been a friend of prolonging things that should be dealt with swiftly.

"What do you want from me?" Ellen eventually asked, while she was just standing by the locked door. A mere human, a mere woman; she could not pull the door open, she could not escape through a window without getting her neck broken, she could not attack Tyki. Even if she had a knife or a gun, Tyki would not be harmed by it. Useless. This time rendered her pathetically useless. Tyki turned around, a cocky smile on his lips.

"How about we talk a bit. You know, I'm pretty fond of you, especially now that there's no more disgusting Innocence attached to your body," he said, drawing his hand through his long black hair. The ex-exorcist could bite back a humourless laugh.

"But I am still human," she argued, because words were the only thing she had left now. Tyki laughed.

"I don't really mind humans. They are fun to kill, sure, but I also have more sophisticated hobbies than that. And on top of that; I have particular interest in you. I still think that there is something about our relationship that was planned out by fate," he whispered with a sly smile on his lips.

"And now what, Lord Tyki Mikk?" Ellen asked, still glaring at the Noah. The man laughed in amusement.

"Do you really want to get back out in the rain so soon? I'm not going to kill you, you know? I just want some fun. I don't care about other women but you." Ellen looked at him in surprise, but masked it behind annoyance.

"Well, you're a bit late for confessions, don't you think?"

"Why? I like our current difference in standing. I am part of the winning party of this war, we control the world for as long as you humans will still be on it. You can't help but comply and I'll repay you," Tyki offered, walking closer to Ellen, "You please me and I'll make sure that you and your family will be protected." Now, Ellen couldn't help but be surprised and intrigued. "Ah, I see that you like this offer," Tyki purred with a big grin on his face, extending his hand to pat Ellen's wet hair.

"There's no way that I'd tru-" she started, but Tyki just grabbed her by the shoulders and tossed her on the bed.

"Well, you might have forgotten that there's no sense in trying to argue with me. What I say will be done. I just consider our alliance to be accepted by you," he said and Ellen picked herself up from the mattress, glaring at the Noah. "Now, now. Stop being so selfish! If you don't comply then I'll just have to get rid of your resistance if you know what I mean."

"Don't touch them," Ellen hissed dangerously and Tyki widened his eyes and his grin, the glare in the woman's eyes sending a thrilling shiver down his spine.

"I won't," Tyki said, then he got out of his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt. Ellen just watched him do it with a mixture of anxiety and disgust. The Noah grinned at her and climbed on the bed. The white haired woman tried to get away from him, but Tyki grabbed her ankle, yanking her forward so that she lost her balance and fell down on the bedcovers. Tyki laughed in amusement and climbed over her.

"You're always fighting back, but I like that," the Noah said and drew his hand over Ellen's wet face. His finger travelled down to trace her tightly sealed lips, then he put his hand on her throat. Ellen shut her eyes tightly as he clenched his hands over her cold skin, but he merely studied her for a moment, then he let go again to travel downwards. He easily opened the buttons of her jacket and the blouse she wore underneath. Ellen was starting to trash around, trying to hit Tyki, but her hands just passed through him until he caught her left arm.

"Hm, I see. You still have it then," he said and grabbed the sleeve, pulling it off with the blouse. Half of her upper body was now laid bare and Tyki, while putting one hand on Ellen's chest, pressing her down, took up her left hand, kissing her fingertips. "Cursed Innocence gone, you're much tamer. Or do you just know that there's no sense in fighting?" Tyki wondered and earned himself a hateful glare. He laughed, not really needing an answer anyway, and proceeded kissing and licking her hand and then moving up her arm. Ellen was too disgusted to feel any sort of pleasure from his caresses. It was simply humiliating to have a foe do this to her. How she wished to be able to resist, how she wished she still had Innocence, how she wished that… she was not a mere human woman. Meanwhile Tyki had proceeded to kiss Ellen's neck and to strip her of the rest blocking his view of her upper body.

"Well, you certainly have become a woman, even though you're a bit malnourished. A lot of time has passed since our battle on the Ark." He sat on her hips, taking away one of his hands constraining her and put it to his chest. "Every time I thought of you I felt the pain of the wound your Innocence gave me, even though you weren't particularly successful with that," Ellen glared up at him, not saying anything, "but I also felt burning desire, a desire only the thrill of killing could give me." He then bent down, caressing Ellen's breasts, then her face, twirling her hair around his fingers, "You get me very excited Ellen Walker. And I either need to kill somebody to quench my desire or get you – the object of my passions."

"You should have realized this before you pushed this world into madness," Ellen said, staring up at Tyki in agitation, his words of adoration meant nothing to her. "You could have reconsidered. I tried, I tried to help you, I tried to save you!" Tyki looked down at her in surprise, but then he laughed.

"How nice! You just did that because you were naïve! And because you were too good to kill! You knew that I was a threat to your friends and other humans, but you still chose not to kill me, but to get me on your side," he told her and Ellen just shook her head, "don't deny it, girlie. You know it's true," he whispered into her ear, then he bit it gently. Ellen just raised her hands, covering her face with them as Tyki continued kissing and licking her body. "No need to be so embarrassed. Just enjoy it. It won't be the last time," he told her, but Ellen stubbornly refused to even look at Tyki. He didn't actually care, because all he wanted was to get his desire satisfied. All he needed was Ellen to be here physically, he didn't care to what places her mind drifted. He kissed her stomach and started undoing the buttons of her trousers, pulling them down with the underwear. "You may no longer be an exorcist, but your whole body is still deliciously beautiful," Tyki complimented her, but Ellen wasn't really flattered by it.

"You know that we're still struggling to survive," Ellen bitterly said, "thanks to you!", she added.

"Well, it was you who lost. Don't blame us for your lacking strength!" Tyki retorted with a wide smile.

"Damn you!", Ellen hissed and wanted to sit up to hit him – even tough it would have been useless – but Tyki just pushed her down and pulled off her last clothes.

"Don't go making a scene now, we're getting to the exciting part!" the Noah said and Ellen could hear him fumbling with his belt and the buttons of his trousers. She clenched her hands and Tyki acknowledged her lack of resistance with a smile. "Good girl. I'm sure you'll come to like it eventually"

"Eventually," Ellen hissed, "I swear that I'll get you for this!" Tyki laughed and pushed his fingers into her unceremoniously. Ellen cried out in surprise and slammed her feet against Tyki's chest. He was not impressed by her little display at the slightest and continued moving his fingers. Ellen's face had become red and she was grabbing for Tyki's hands.

"Stop that!", she shrieked and Tyki laughed, complying with her request. Ellen was breathing heavily, mostly because of her fierce trashing around and embarrassment. Tyki, seeing the look in Ellen's eyes, grinned and then he grabbed her chin forcing a rough kiss onto her lips. He slipped his other hand under her back, lifting her up slightly. Ellen was trying her best to get away from Tyki's suffocating kiss, which made her forget her other resistance for the moment. Tyki, not being one to waste occasions, used this moment to enter her. Ellen froze as soon as she felt his erection touch her. She gasped and squeezed her eyes shut. Tyki breathed in slowly, then he pushed his whole length into Ellen's body. Ellen seemed to be too shocked to even react to that and she let out a shuddering breath once Tyki stopped his movement.

"Now, tainted princess, let's have some fun," Tyki whispered, kissing her red lips gently.

-

There were a lot of thoughts going through Ellen's mind while Tyki was moving inside of her at a fast pace. His grip on her thin arms was painful, the look on his face reminded her of the wild beast he had become after her failed attempt at exorcising him. She felt pain and guilt, disgust and sadness. She liked Tyki, but not like that. She liked him as a human, she even liked him as a Noah, but she hated him whenever he was endangering her friends and when he was behaving hostile towards her. Ellen didn't hold grudges, at least not against humans or Tyki, but she could not forget the things he had done to her. He tried to kill her several times and now he was raping her, while she knew exactly that this would not be the last time. How could she possibly enjoy his lovemaking?

Ellen hardly noticed when Tyki came. His body, radiating heat even through his clothes, collapsed on top of hers and he sighed contently.

"Now that was beautiful. Next time try to be a bit more active," Tyki suggested and kissed the woman, then he wiped away the tears that she hadn't even been aware of. "Aww, poor tainted princess, don't cry."

"Shut up!" Ellen hissed, pushing his hand away to wipe her eyes. Tyki smiled at her almost as if he really was her lover and not just an enemy who had taken advantage of her. He then sighed and sat up in bed, fixing his clothes. Ellen sat up as well after some time.

"That's it?", Ellen finally asked and started putting her clothes back on. Tyki took a cigarette out of a packet lying on top of a drawer and lighted it.

"Yes. That's it," he repeated and inhaled deeply, "I'm satisfied now. There's no need to kill you, if you thought I'd do that. It would spoil my fun, right?" Ellen looked at him, then she gritted her teeth and continued dressing.

"You're horrible!" she hissed and Tyki didn't retort anything.

"Well, unrequited love is a bad thing, don't you think?" he asked when Ellen got off his bed. She frowned at him and he smiled.

"I can't pity you…" Ellen said bitterly, which surprised Tyki, "I agree, it is horrible, but don't you think that it's your own fault?" She picked up her bag from the floor and looked at him. "I'll go now." Tyki snapped out of it and grinned at her.

"Sure. I'll guide you out," he said and Rhode's door appeared again. It opened and Tyki led her through it.

-

They were back on the rainy streets of London. Tyki pulled out his golden watch and studied it.

"It's only half past six. That was really quick," he said and turned towards Ellen, "Next time we'll extend our little session. I'm sure you have enough stamina to last for two or three times, right? And surely you'll stop showing me the cold shoulder after you've warmed up to me a little bit," he added with a mischievous grin. Ellen didn't say anything and contented herself with glaring up at Tyki. He grinned and then he handed her his umbrella. She looked at him in surprise. "Remember that your house and its inhabitants will be protected from now on. See? Sleeping with the enemy is a good deed, don't you think?" he asked joyously.

"Tyki Mikk…" Ellen started, holding the umbrella in her hand, but he just put his gloved hand over her mouth, bending down to look straight into her face.

"No need for words," he whispered, his golden eyes gleaming, "I like to see you run now, and if you stop I'll get you." Ellen widened her eyes in confusion and Tyki withdrew his hand, only to replace it with a short, tobacco-flavoured kiss. He grinned at her and took a step backwards. Ellen still stared at him, but then he waved, which made Ellen snap out of her stupor. She turned around and started running down the street, holding on to her bag. She didn't dare to look back and she didn't dare to stop until she reached the door of her house. She pushed it open forcefully and slammed it shut after her.

"Oi! Beansprout, what's the matter?" Ellen looked at the alarmed Kanda, who was sitting at the table. Ellen couldn't reply and just shook her head, sliding down the door. The young man got up from his seat and walked up to her, kneeling down beside her, while she buried her head in the wet woollen bag, sobbing silently. "Ellen…"

"Nothing…" she replied putting her hands to her face, wiping away the tears. "Nothing…", she repeated, then she looked up at him with a smile, holding up the present she received from Tyki. "I've got an umbrella, see? It will keep us safe and… it was really cheap". Kanda didn't ask any further questions and helped her get up on her feet. "I… know that I'm just weak now, without my Innocence… And these days are dark". She looked at Kanda and managed to smile, "but I know that someday we humans can resume fighting. We'll just have to survive until that day comes. And as long as I live, I will continue hoping for the chance to set things straight and change the world. Because these days of darkness must come to an end".

End

Notes:

I have to say that I was really keen on developing this post-apocalyptic world and I gave it more attention than the rape scene.

If you haven't drawn the conclusion, the eternal rain is a hint at the Flood (which Hoshino equals with the Three Days of Darkness) and the decay of humanity or the fall into corruption is of course an allusion to the Fall that came after the loss of innocence (how biblical...).

Kanda appeared right at the end because Yullen is the pairing I love the most :3

The next chapter will have the alternative ending, the GOOD ENDING so to speak.

I would love to hear what you think about it (positive, negative, things to improve, questions...). Therefore, please review! :D
