Rika Tylore : Hey there, folks! Here's my other fanfic for you, recently I got this liking for D. Gray - man. Especially for Yuu - san so here's about him & his relationship with an OC.
Kanda : Don't call me by that name, Baka Gaki!
Tama : Will you cool down for a while, Kanda nii - kun? Rika - chan has a very good explanation for that.
Rika : In her language, the name Kanda is pretty odd for people. It means "dear", so she won't call you that.
Kanda : Alright! Damn, how the hell did I get involved with these brats?
Suzaku : And why the hell am I here again, Rika? We're in a completely different story.
Rika Tylore : You're already in my contract for accompanying me in every Author's Note. You signed it after all, remember?
Suzaku : What? I didn't remember signing everything!
Tama : Oh, yeah you were drunk that time because you accidentally drank Jiraiya - sama's sake. Then you immediately signed the contract without even reading it.
Suzaku : What the hell? What the heck did I get myself into? Cursed sake for dragging me to be involved with them!
Rika : Ano, Suzakun calm down. It's not really that bad.
Kanda : Che, it's your own stupidity, kid.
Rika : Kanda - san, we better hurry. The story will be on soon.
Rika Tylore : Okay Readers! Disclaimer...

That Starts Everything
"What the hell is it now, Komui?" Kanda scowls as he enters the office. Besides Komui's desk, stands a girl with short brunette hair, dark brown eyes, long sleeves white shirt, red vest, & red check print skirt. In her arms there's a hooded black coat with fluffs at the edge of the hood.
"Oh, you're here Kanda - kun. This is Rika Tylore, she'll be a temporary Exorcist here. Before she's the child whom the gatekeeper thought as an akuma, I'm sure you've heard about it." Rika twitches at the statement & appears to be irked.
"Please, Komui - san. I don't want to remember that troublesome stuff."
"Oh, sorry Rika - chan! Fortunately that time Kanda was on a mission so you didn't have him pointed Mugen on y-"
"Komui - san, would you be so kind to stop mentioning that problem?" this time the brunette gives the man a darkened expression & emitting a black aura around her.
The Chinese man gulps, aware that the girl has a sadistic side, "S- sorry, okay now back to the point."
"Do I have anything to do with this?" said Kanda in monotone voice.
Rika sighs silently when Komui is adjusting his glasses, "I want you to take her under your supervision for a month."
"WHAT THE HELL?" the samurai's shout can be heard from outside of the room.
An expected reaction from Kanda Yu, how typical... thought Rika.
"I know you'll refuse, but I have no choice. Besides you're the only person who has been in Black Order even longer than the other 3 candidates I chose, Lenalee - chan, Allen - kun, & Lavi - kun. So I think you'll be a better guide for her." again, Rika sighs silently as she is watching Kanda becomes angrier.
"TO HAVE A NEWBIE UNDER MY SUPERVISION WILL ONLY GET IN MY WAY!"
"It's just a month, Kanda."
"I DON'T CARE, TO MAKE IT WORSE SHE'S A NEWBIE!"
"Well she is new around here but she is a good combatant & very talented in using her Innocence. And she's more dangerous than you think if she's provoked. Even General Tiedoll has interest in her." Komui giggles & Rika grins a little at the statement.
That Old Man dares to get his nose in this? Kanda gives out an irritated sigh, "Che, alright!" then he turns his sight at Rika, "Listen kid, if you slow me down-"
"You'll resign from this, I understood." the girl cut him off, spontaneously saluting.
He didn't expect her to understand his condition. Still he's really irritated of having a newbie to be supervised by, "That saves my time for explaining."
"Now you may take her to the tour, Kanda. Show her around the Order & lead her to the room. And by the way, Rika - chan your requested uniform is already in your room." said Komui before Rika walks to the edge of the office to take her suitcases.
"Thank you for the information, Komui - san." then she follows Kanda.
Damn that four - eyed bastard! Didn't he get satisfied enough to put me with Moyashi? Now he put me with this little kid! as he shows all the locations in the Order, he feels even more burdened by his task as a baby sitter. But seems the girl won't burden him further, she keeps silent as they walk all the way in the tour.
"This is the library & this is the Science Department Lab..." Kanda glances at his back & sees the girl is staring enthusiastically at the library.
"Wow, it's great even if it's smaller than Central's." Rika seems amazed but keeps her voice monotone. Well, she is a book lover after all. Once she found a library or 2, she'll always remember the location with her photographic memory. Yes, she has a photographic memory.
"What?" the teen is kind of lost by her statement. Central? She means the Vatican?
"Oh, just forget about it, Kanda - san." with smile, the young girl replies him in Japanese.
He raises an eyebrow, "You can speak Japanese?"
"Is my face doesn't look Asian enough?" asked Rika flatly with pointing her face.
"It's like I'd care to identify someone's face. Anyway your hair color doesn't even give any hint of you being Japanese."
"Well, it's because I'm British - Japanese - Chinese descendant. My father is a British - Japanese one, while my mother is Japanese - Chinese."
"Hmph." is all he can give.
"By the way, just as I thought you never leave without Mugen on your side." it surprised Kanda. How does she know about Mugen?
Probably that glasses idiot told her. "It's none of your concern. What's your anti - akuma weapon, by the way?"
"Right here," she points at her long black case hung around her torso, "Kuroi Tsuki is an equipment type, and the one who made it is my annoying Grandfather. One day it somehow has Innocence in it & eventually I synchronized with it. It can shoot energy bullet with no limit within 500 meter radius."
"It's a firearm?" it's kind of surprising for Kanda that a kid like Rika can carry a seemingly heavy weapon without complaining.
"A sniper riffle, it may seems heavy but for me it's quite light." she smirks afterwards.
"Oi, Yu - chan-"
"Don't call me that!" Kanda shot a glare at the red headed Bookman Junior.
"Hey, easy there," then Lavi sets his sight at Rika, "hello there, I'm Lavi. Nice to meet you, are you new here?"
"Yeah, I'm Rika Tylore. Nice meeting you, Lavi - san." seeing her smile, Lavi seems attracted.
The Bookman's apprentice immediately hugs her & seems startled Rika a little, "Aw, Yu - chan! She's really cute!"
"Che, get off from our way. We have to continue the tour." replied the blue haired man before giving him a death glare. "And I told not to call me by my first name..."
"Lavi - san, I suggest you obey him before he attacks you violently." said Rika as she lifts her expressionless face to Lavi. Somehow her gaze has frightened him; well she added a little sadistic glint on them.
"Alright then," he releases his grip, "welcome to the Black Order, Ri - chan! Enjoy your stay!"
After the red head disappeared, they start to walk around again. Kanda seems curious to ask, "Seems you take his reaction well."
Rika chuckles before replying, "I've indirectly learned to handle a womanizer before from someone who is a womanizer as well. But that man is even worse, taking advantage of his ability to have a date. Still, I respect him very much."
"It's Cross, isn't it?" asked Kanda annoyed.
"Who said anything about General Marian Cross? I'm talking about a totally different person here." those words slightly "hit" Kanda's pride.
"Che, just get faster & we'll end this tour quickly!" yelled Kanda suddenly annoyed.
"Yes, sir!" replied Rika with a salute while following Kanda who is now walking very fast.
"Hi, Sweetie! Wow, I have to admit you're really adorable!" greeted Jerry when he sees Rika who is now already in her Exorcist uniform which looks like Amestrian Military uniform's, the robe has short white linings with crosses pinned on the edges & a long cut on the lower center of the back. Her hands are covered by black gloves.
"My name is Rika Tylore, pleased to meet you. You're Jerry - san, right?"
"You got it right! What would you like to order?"
"Um, let me think... 1 plate of salmon teriyaki with extra teriyaki sauce, a bowl of rice, & 3 plates of salmon sushies. Don't forget 2 small plates of soy sauce." although Rika is considered a small girl, she has a big appetite.
"Coming right up!" Jerry immediately does the order. After waiting for 10 minutes, it's all ready. "Here you go, Sweetie!"
"Thanks, Jerry - san." she is off to search for a seat. The cafeteria is terribly full of Finders & Exorcists, so it's hard for her to find one.
"Ri - chan!" recognizing the voice, she turns to see Lavi waving at her to come. There are Allen & Lenalee as well. Also Kanda though he sits on the very corner. She walks her way to the table & places her tray on it.
"Guys, this is the new Exorcist I was telling you about! Cute isn't she?"
"I'm Rika Tylore, nice to meet you all." she bows & takes her seat.
"My name's Allen Walker & this is Tim! Welcome to the Black Order, Rika - san!" said Allen with introducing Timcampy.
"I'm Li Lenalee, the Supervisor's younger sister. Nice to meet you too, Rika - chan. I've heard about you from Nii - san, you're now under the supervision of Kanda, right?" the said person slightly twitched.
"Yes, it's not really difficult to be supervised by Kanda - san since apparently I've met someone who is close to his personality..." said Rika with narrowed eyes as she recalled her memories.
"Eh? Really? Someone who just like Yu - chan? Whoa, gotta' meet that guy!" shouted Lavi cheerfully.
"Don't call me that, you Baka Usagi!" snapped Kanda.
"Seriously Kanda, there's a new Exorcist here & you have her under your supervision. Therefore you're still being so rude in front of her." protested Allen .
"Just shut up, Moyashi." said Kanda flatly.
"How many times I must tell you, BaKanda! It's Allen, not Moyashi!" the white haired teen snapped.
"Oh dear, here it goes again..." Lenalee sighs at the scene, "Sorry Rika - chan, but this thing goes on very often."
"I don't mind it at all, Lenalee - san. In fact I'm used to watch this kind of scene." said Rika as she munches over her meal.
"Really? Does it end with sword chasing?" Lenalee seems interested.
"Exactly, there are 2 pairs of them. Only 1 pair who does the sword chasing, & that pair is surprisingly close to Kanda - san & Lavi - san. You know, one gives the other weird nicknames & the given one became annoyed. (A/N : This refers to Kurogane & Fay in case you didn't aware of it)" once again Rika recalled her memories.
Lenalee giggles at it, "I see... What about the other pair?"
"Just like Kanda - san & Allen - san, though the Kanda - san is a slacker like Komui - san & a womanizer like General Cross. The Allen - san is quite short for his age & really hates if someone mentions it, I'd like to remind you that he's totally not as polite as Allen - san. But the Kanda - san likes to tease him like saying, "Oh, you're so short that I can't even see you behind this paper - works." Then the cursing & the shouting start. (A/N : And this refers to Roy & Ed)" after she explained she sighs & gives out a little smile. How she loves those moments...
"Hmm, seems those people you're talking about are important people to you." Lenalee smiles at her.
The younger Exorcist nods, "They're my important friends indeed..."
"Oh, Yu - chan you're sooo mean..." whined Lavi.
"You want me to cut your head off, Baka Usagi?"
"Hey, you should lighten up you know..."
"Can you at least stop being so annoyed?"
"I told you to shut your mouth, Moyashi!"
"It's Allen, you BaKanda! You really are an idiot!"
God, it has became a terrible threesome... thought Rika as she puts the last sushi into her mouth.
Lenalee sighs, Better stop them before it goes further. "Alright guys, stop this child - like arguing now!"
With Lenalee struggles to separate the three, Rika is watching it with a soft smile. She closes her eyes & lets the memories being recalled in her minds. Her smile goes wider & she opens her eyes a minute later, "I end up being in the same relationship though it's a different place. How ironic is that... Ironically wonderful..."
"Lyon?" muttered Rika when Komui is giving her & Kanda a mission briefing the next morning.
"Yes, apparently there's a case of a doll came alive. We have suspicions that an Innocence has involved." explained Komui.
After a moment, Rika chuckles nervously, "So the fairytale "Pinocchio" is true..." Or maybe it's more of a Rozen Maiden...
"Yeah, pretty much. You two will go as partners tonight at 7.30 PM."
"WHAT THE HELL? AFTER ASKING ME TO SUPERVISE A KID NOW I HAVE TO BABYSIT HER IN A MISSION?"the pony-tailed samurai yelled louder than ever.
"Ne, it's not like the point is to babysit me. And remind you I'm not a kid, 12 years - old is certainly a preteen age." protested Rika & it made Kanda speechless. She dislikes of being considered as a kid while she has grown. Komui is currently amazed by Rika's skill to reply Kanda's rude words.
"Che, whatever. You better not be troublesome & became a burden to me." his voice sounds harsh.
"Alright, I got that..." again Rika smiles as she salutes.
"Okay, you two may leave now. Good luck on your mission." Komui gives a thumbs up.
After they left Komui's office, they walk together to their rooms to get everything ready as both rooms are apparently side by side. Everyone who passed through them whispers that Kanda has become a baby sitter. It's a misfortune for them that Kanda has sharp ears. He turns his head to every side, giving the people his murderous intent. "Stupid gossiping bastards." mumbled the teen as he passes through them.
"Hey, Kanda - san. I've been meaning to ask, is there any report of some case of... well, a little girl appeared out of nowhere?" Kanda turns to her right away.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"It's okay if there isn't any. I'm just asking as it might have some connection to the Innocence." she slightly becomes a bit disappointed. A second later she turns looks up to Kanda, "By the way, can I have practice with you, Kanda - san? Since we have... 10 hours before departure?"
"Che, do as you like, kid." replied Kanda as he turns away.
Rika widens her eyes & smirks, "Alright then..."
"Is there no other clothes suitable than that?" commented Kanda when she sees Rika in her white shirt & blue denim knee length pants.
"But I used to wear this to train. Never mind about that, let's just start the training." the brunette closes her eyes, the moment she opens it they turn into indigo in color & have a star symbol on each. Then she draws a star on the air, it becomes visible & opens some kind of decorated light purple circle.
"Kuroi Tsuki..." she whispered as she grabs inside, pulling a long large gun with one hand only.
"What the heck was that?" Kanda raised his eyebrows.
"I'll explain later, it's a long story." Rika sharpened her gaze, hinting that she's ready.
Kanda charges forward with an incredible speed. When he's almost close to Rika, the girl jumps quickly & shifts her position behind him. Kanda having a good reflex, turns & clashes Mugen with Kuroi Tsuki. Both jump back, Rika uses this chance to shoot. All the bullets sliced by Mugen before they go further.
"For a newbie you're pretty good, kid."
"I'm not "kid" & once again I'm a preteen."
"Dump that useless chatter, kid."
"Fine, fine..." the younger Exorcist sighs. Then she suddenly dissappears from Kanda's sight & reappears above him. "Think again..."
"Shi-!" gunshots heard afterwards. His body is sent through a tree, breaking it into half. After 5 minutes he regains consciousness. I'm... not injured? But those bullets! he looks up at the girl that is still standing a little far from him.
"Sorry I didn't tell you that the bullets only kill akumas not humans, Kanda - san." said Rika with a grin.
"Damn," cursed Kanda under his breath, "don't be so naive, kid."
"Sure, I'll keep that in mind." after saluting again, she smirks proudly upon her victory of beating down Kanda Yu.
