A/N I wish I did own D-gray man.
prologe
Two figures appeared from nowhere in front of the ruined black order tower.
"Are we too late, Sensei?"
A reassuring smile. "No. Miranda's sent us back to just after the black order got attacked the first time. We'll go inside shall we? I'll give you the tour."
"Yes Sensei." She nodded, falling in behind her white haired teacher.
Was the black order really like this once? Ray-fell wondered as her teacher led her through empty black order headquarters. A rustling sound caught her attention and looking around she found an eyeball with bat wings trapped under a small piece of masonry. "What are you?" she asked as she crouched down to free the trapped being. It couldn't be an akuma, Sensei would have warned her. Gravel crunching under her knee high combat boots, she heaved the masonry away. It shot up and began started fluttering around her head.
"Sensei, what is it?" Ray-fell asked
Her white haired teacher turned back to see what his student had discovered this time. "That's called a golem. They used to be commonplace in the black order."
"So they're like timcampy, right?" Ray-fell smiled under her scarf
Her Sensei nodded. "This brings back good memories. Come on Ray-fell, we must find the black order." He smiled at the golem, "bring your new friend."
"Brother, we've just got a signal from a golem from the old head quarters."
"Really?"
"Yes. Look,"
…
"Now that is interesting. Get the golem to stay with the girl, Lenalee. Does that golem have audio?"
"No, it was trapped under some masonry and damaged."
"Pity, but the two of them are an odd pair. The girl has a Mohawk pulled into a ponytail and the boy has white hair like Allen…. Looks like I'm out of coffee."
Ray-fell and her Sensei stood at the edge of a cannel of dark rushing water, a boat bobbing gently at its mooring. Her Sensei leapt lightly onto the boat and held out his hand.
"Come Ray-fell, we have an earl to annoy."
Taking her Sensei's hand she jumped lightly into the boat. A small bubble of laughter escaped her lips as she untied the mooring and the pair of them floated downstream. Her Sensei was so happy now he was back in the past.
Boarding a train, they headed deep into France. Ray-fell gazed out of the window, ignoring the stares she attracted because of her clothing. She knew a ripped sleeveless midriff baring top with a miniskirt and tights was going to attract attention, but she didn't care. The only thing she worried about was how she was going to get her hands on a razor for her Mohawk.
Her Sensei sighed. "Wait here." He walked off.
The white haired man walked down the carriages to the back of the train where he found a group of men playing poker.
"Good day, mind if I join you?" he asked
The men looked up one by one at the casually dressed person standing in front of them. The Portuguese 'leader' of the group grinned. "You have any collateral?"
The man smiled and pulled out a silver watch. He flicked it open to reveal the inscription 'keep walking forward, Neah.'
"I guess we'll deal you in, Neah."
Cards flew around the group and Neah picked his up. "I didn't catch your name, Mr.…"
"Tyki Mikk"
Neah paused for a moment as he looked through his cards at the name before continuing. With a smile he played a full house.
Before long the white haired man had stripped down all of his opponents to their underwear. Tyki and his friends huddled together.
"He's worse than that cheating boy 'A'" muttered Tyki
"Either that or he grew up. You can't even tell that he's cheating."
Neah relaxed back onto his winnings, "you know I can hear you… anyway, I have what I came for." He said as he swiped a jacket from the pile of clothing. "You can keep the rest."
Breezing out of the carriage, he left the nearly naked men all scrambling for their clothes and one wondering how to get in touch with the earl.
Ray-fell watched as the train pulled into Calais train station. A sudden weight landed on her and she jerked upright, flinging the coat off her.
"Eh! What was that for?" she asked.
Her Sensei smiled "it's for you to put on otherwise your clothing will attract too much attention. Time to go anyway."
Ray-fell scowled underneath her scarf that hid the lower half of her face before slipping the long coat over her shoulders, being carful not to interfere with the long free hanging sleeves that hung off her arms.
Following her teacher off the train, ray-fell proceeded to stop her Sensei from going completely in the wrong direction to the docks. Once there, they found themselves in a predicament. With no money, they couldn't get across and Sensei couldn't use his 'help' either.
Ray-fell looked up at her Sensei. "You want me to grab a wallet?"
He shook his head. "No. we should cause as little trouble as possible, ok?" with his bare hand he ruffled her hair and with his gloved one he pulled out his pocket watch. "This'll get us our money."
"Who's that Lenalee?"
"They're people who found our old headquarters. The odd thing is that they almost look like they're heading here, Allen."
"Huh? How?"
"Well they seem to be trying to get the ferry to Dover. But the white haired man seems to keep getting lost."
"Should we have a finder watch them?"
"Reever already suggested it to Komui but since there's already a golem with them even though it's a little broken, it's enough unless they do something strange."
"Have you ever seen clothing like what that girl wears before?"
"Never. What about you?"
"Nope. Not even in the places that master visited."
"There you are Allen! There's paper work for you to fill out"
"… Yes link. See you later lenalee."
Ray-fell watched as France disappeared in the early morning mists. Her Sensei was busy playing cards below deck to get them some breakfast when they got to shore. Hearing foot steps, she looked up. A girl of about 12 came and sat beside her. She had navy blue hair, purple eyes and pale skin.
"Hi. My name's road. My uncle said that this is the best place on the ship. What are you doing here?"
Ray-fell stared at the strange girl for a moment before replying nonchalantly, "Looking for sea monsters."
Road gave her the biggest 'are you crazy?' look ever before Ray-fell continued.
"My father used to tell me stories about them all the time, but I've never seen one yet. He even drew pictures of them for me." ray-fell couldn't help but grin underneath her scarf pulled over her nose, that had been her excuse for heaps of things back in the… no. she couldn't think of those things now. Road stared at her for a moment longer before pointing out the golem that had been floating behind Ray-fell's shoulder and asking "what's that?"
"Dunno. I forgot what teacher called it. But it seems to like to follow me around though."
"Hey, you wanna play with me?" road shoved a doll in her face expectantly.
Ray-fell took the doll cautiously; she didn't quite know what to do. After a few minutes of following Road's instructions, Road swiped the doll back out of her hands proclaiming that she was "boring" before skipping off.
Ray-fell watched as road skipped off. "Jeez. My life is anything but boring." She said with a half smile before heading to the front of the boat to watch England come into view.
It was an odd thing to see the cliffs of Dover so un-scarred Ray-fell mused. Actually, to have seen the Eifel tower still standing was amazing in itself. Ray-fell looked over at her Sensei, if it weren't him she would have probably died a long time ago. Sensei had brought her to the resistance when a pseudo Noah had tried to destroy her innocence and taught her how to use it.
"Sensei, how far did we travel back?" ray-fell asked, turning to the white haired man.
He scratched the faded scar on his left cheek before replying. "I'd say around about fifty years, why?"
"I wanted to know how many years till D-day."
Neah looked at his student, golden eyes soft. "Ray-fell… D-day's not going to happen, not anymore." As the ferry pulled into port, he continued. "They won't let me in there yet; you'll have to go alone."
"Where will you go sensei?"
"To find The Lady. She came too late last time, but not now. Now be good, I'll miss you." He pulled her into a small embrace before whispering where she needed to go into her ear. "Now Ray-fell… don't use the ark unless there is no choice. The black order thought the ability to use connected it to Noah."
Ray-fell stepped away from her sensei before saying, "see you soon sensei."
The two parted at the bottom gangplank.
Ray-fell watched for a moment as her sensei disappeared into the crowds with practiced ease before setting off in the direction off the address that sensei had given her.
The cloak sensei had given her reached to her knees and hid most of her eye-catching clothing but it wasn't it enough to stop the childlike Noah of dreams from watching her as she walked off before going flying away on an umbrella.
"She's here brother."
"What happened to the white haired man?"
"He parted ways with her when they got to England."
"Why don't you go out to welcome her Lenalee?"
In the little hours of the morning, Ray-fell found herself in a park walking through a flock of golems. Before she lost the one she had found in the old headquarters, she plucked out of the air and put it into one of the coat pockets. A green light shot through the sky towards her, falling down to earth to reveal a Chinese girl in boots standing in front of her.
It was her. The girl from sensei's picture.
"Who are you?" asked Ray-fell.
"My name's Lenalee. Nice to meet you in person."
Ray-fell looked the black clothed girl up and down suspiciously. "What do you mean in person?"
Lenalee laughed a clear carefree sound. "The golem you found in our old headquarters has been transmitting video to us since you picked it up."
Ray-fell pulled out the golem out of her pocket and stared into the eye. "Wow. Sensei didn't tell me about that."
"Anyway, follow me." Lenalee said before beginning to walk off into the night.
The gate keeper was an interesting experience, as he had long since been 'removed from service' in Ray-fell's time.
"X-RAY EXAMINATION!" he cried, looming over the surprised girl
"What the heck?" she yelped, jumping back in surprise and activating her innocence. Long pale greenish white claws slid out of her sleeves and she pointed them at the door. "There's an akuma in the door? Sensei didn't tell me about this!"
Lenalee jumped in front of her before she attacked the doorkeeper. "Stop! He's not an akuma. He just makes sure you're not one."
"…oh." Ray-fell dropped out of her fighting stance and straightened up. "Okay. Do your thing Mr. scary face." And tried not to flinch as the gate keeper scanned her again.
"Okay. She's clean." The gatekeeper finally announced and opened the doors.
Lenalee led her into the black order, pointing out various features to Ray-fell. As they made their way to Komui's office, Ray-fell reflected on how organized this 'black order' was compared to the resistance.
"And here we are." Lenalee said stopping outside a paper covered room. She walked over to a larger than average pile of papers and gave it a shake to reveal a man asleep. "Wake up big brother."
Only a soft snore answered her.
With an apologetic look at Ray-fell, lenalee leant forward and whispered something into the man's ear before stepping back quick quickly. The effect was immediate; the man leapt out of his chair and wrapped his arms around Lenalee's legs, crying profusely.
"Don't do it lenalee! You're too young to get engaged!"
Lenalee looked over at Ray-fell in exasperation. Ray-fell on the other hand was trying to contain her laughter as she realized that this comical man was the somber, melancholy leader of the resistance.
"Brother, the girl from the old headquarters is here."
Komui stood up quickly and looked at Ray-fell. "Good to see you. What happened to your traveling companion?"
"There were particular people he needed to find so he gave me directions and sent me on my way." Ray-fell explained choosing her words carefully. "I'm not sure where sensei is now."
Komui smiled "follow me then. Are you an exorcist?"
"Yes."
He beamed. "well then, follow Me." Komui walked out of his office and lead Ray-fell down the hallways to a chamber where a ghostly creature was. "Meet Hevlaska."
Ray-fell's eyes widened. Hevlaska had been a lot smaller in her time… and a lot more human!
Hevlaska's white arms snaked out and picked up Ray-fell. Latching onto both of her forearms, Hevlaska began to inspect her innocence. The feeling of utter intrusion was as horrible as the first time Hevlaska had picked her up in the future.
"3... 11... 28… 46… 63… 78… 89%" Hevlaska leant back from Ray-fell's head. "It seems your synchronization for your innocence is 89%." As she put Ray-fell down she continued. "Ray-fell… your past is the darkest I have ever seen out of all the people ever to come here. May you find what you are looking for."
Komui began to lead Ray-fell off when Hevlaska placed a hand on his shoulder. He nodded before spotting Jonny coming down the hallway with a large amount of papers.
"Helloooooo! Jonny! Please could you show our new friend around? Thank you!"
Jonny looked up to see a bewildered Ray-fell getting ushered over to him. Halfway there she tripped and crashed into the stack of papers and sent them flying everywhere.
"Ah, sorry." Muttered Ray-fell. "You must be Jonny, right?" she asked as she picked up the scattered papers.
"Yeah, who are you?"
"I'm Ray-fell, new exorcist. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. I guess I'll show you around then."
Ray fell handed him the last of his papers in her sleeve covered hand. "Thanks."
"What is it Hevlaska?"
"That girl… Ray-fell. She tried to hide her synchronization rate from me, I do not know why."
"Why didn't you say anything about her future?"
"Because… all I could see was her past."
