Me: How do you do?
Allen: Wow, you're polite...
Me: I can be polite if I want too.
Lenalee: We're doing fine, thank you.
Me:...
Kanda:...
Lavi: Anyone going to say anything? How about you, Yuu?
Kanda: Don't call me that!
Me:...
Allen: You're awfully quiet, Blade.
Me: Oh, what the hell! I'm stopping this bullcrap right now! I don't own D. Gray Man! If I did, I would be living in Japan right now! Besides, I'm not even Japanese!
Lavi: Calm down, Blade.
Me: I AM CALM!
Kanda:...calm down.
Me:...
Lavi: Kanda to the rescue!
Merely the Beginning
The big, round man's smile grew even bigger, if it could, when he saw the young girl weeping. He floated down by his pink umbrella behind the tombstone. The girl was too immersed in her sorrow to see the man. The man's smile seemed to grow even bigger.
"Hello there, little one," the man spoke. The girl started, backing away from the tombstone when she saw the stranger loom from the tomb's back.
"I have the power to revive your little friend," the Millennium Earl coaxed.
"You…can really…do that?" the girl asked in surprise. Her voice cracked in fear.
"Of course," at the stranger's word, a flash of lightning appeared. Suddenly, standing before the heart-sicken girl was a black doll with the parts of a model. On its skeleton head was a helmet with a star.
"But I need your help," the earl clapped his gloved hands on the girl's wet shoulder. "Your friend needs your help. He needs your voice to revive. All you need to do is call out his name and you would be able to live together forever." He hid a smile.
"Really?" the girl smiled.
"Yes. Call out his name and his soul would reside in this doll."
The girl gained reassurance in the man's smile. She stood on her shaking legs, the pink umbrella steadying her. She took a deep breath and called out one word:
"TAMESIS!"
Another flash of lightning shot from the sky. This time, it struck the doll. The girl gave a gasp as the doll began to move. The outline disappeared and the doll was standing up-right, gazing in wonder at its new limbs.
"Tamesis?"
The doll seemed to glare at her. She took a step back. The doll opened its skeleton mouth, "Lily…HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
"What?" she gasped.
"YOU TURNED ME INTO AN AKUMA!" the doll screamed.
"That's right," the Millennium Earl held the frightened girl down. "And now I order you to kill this girl and wear her skin."
The doll took one step towards her, an axe raised. The girl continued to look in pure horror. Before she died, she just wanted her old childhood friend to know four words she's wanted to tell him for a long time.
"Tamesis, I've always loved you…"
A scream and blood splattered the inky blackness of midnight.
Allen: That's it? No fighting or anything?
Me: Umm...no.
Lenalee: You have to admit, that was pretty plain...
Me: Hey. First time writing The Gray Man...
Lavi: That's D. Gray Man.
Me: I've got into the habit of calling it The Gray Man.
Kanda: But this isn't your first time writing.
Me: No, I'll admit that. It's not. But anyways, there's more to come. I mean, there's going to be a catch somewhere soon.
Allen: Shh! You'll ruin it for the readers.
Kanda: You're breaking the fourth wall, beansprout.
Allen: I told you to stop calling me that!
Lavi: I hate the fourth wall! Why do they even have soemthing stupid like that?
Me: Beats me.
Lenalee: We should really get going now, you guys...a conversation between you and Lavi and a fight between Allen and Kanda can go on forever.
Lavi: Ever thought buying a panda?
Me: No. I wish the pet stores have a panda though...
Lenalee: How did you get from the forth wall to pandas?
Me: Beats me.
