This story is set in the normal D.Gray Man world. There is no Aleena sadly, even though I was severely tempted to put her in. So that means the Earl did not mysteriously vanish. The defeat of the Earl at the end will actually be death by combat this time. I'm looking forward to writing that part. Chapter 1 of Dream Traveler! Please read and review. Hopefully it's good. I'm not going by rough drafts this time. So not even I know what will happen in the end. When the Dream Traveler is using her powers it will be in italics or bold. Please read and review. I'm so excited about this story. It may even be done by tomorrow with any luck!!
Chapter 1
That night everyone had trouble sleeping. Just earlier that day a huge battle had taken place. If not for the brave actions of two finders, Kanda and Allen would be dead. But those two finders were dead in their place. Even Kanda had trouble sleeping. Toma had taken a spear for Kanda. He had just collapsed from exhaustion and injuries. He had woken up after blacking out temporarily to see a spear aimed straight for his chest. Toma had jumped in the way. "Live on, Mr. Exorcist. I know you can save the world." Then he had taken his last breath, since the spear had went straight through his heart.
It was that night the Dream Traveler first used her powers to help out.
She floated over the ancient looking castle,sensing all the troubled minds within. Something major had just taken place. The self-proclaimed Dream Traveler touched each mind she felt, quelling all negative emotions and bad dreams. As she went down each hallway door by door, one of them caught her attention. It was a mystery. And she had always loved mysteries. "I'll come back to you later, mysterious one." She put the other minds in a peaceful rest. Then she went back to the mystery. He was hiding within himself, the negative emotions coming from the event earlier and painful childhood memories. She glided down into his consciousness. It was a man with blue eyes and raven blue hair. He clutched a katana to his side as he silently cried.
"Don't worry. All will be will." The man jumped. He regarded her with shrewd eyes that emanated distrust. With a wave of her hands, the fire that surrounded the building in his dream vanished. The rotting frame of the once elegant building vanished. He was lying in a flowery plain. His head was on her lap.
"Who are you? Why are helping me? Are you doing this to everyone?" She smiled. Peace filled his spirit. He half-closed his eyes and smiled. This was one person he could trust with no strings attached.
"I am Dream Traveler. I can walk in others dreams and alter and/or control them. I sensed many troubled minds in this place so I come to help you all sleep in peace. But you're the only one I've actually talked to." She stroked his hair. He put his hand on hers.
"You chose me specially. May I ask why?" She smiled as he got up and looked at her. To him, she appeared as an angel. She chose to have no wings though.
"You're beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life."
"Your very soul cried out to me, Yuu Kanda. For some reason, you need me more than them. You're also a mystery. Your kind in my profession usually mean something." Everything began to vanish. "Don't worry. You're only waking up. I'll be back soon. Promise."
Back in life Kanda woke with a smile. The beautiful woman from his dream still was with him. Her phantom hand could still be felt stroking his hair. He walked to the cafeteria. Everyone was talking about how good their dreams and sleep had been. He had to be careful not to let something slip. So she was a real person somewhere. Which meant she probably had innocence. He chose not to reveal anything yet. For now he wanted to keep her to himself.
