This is now, finally, the beginning of The New Earl. It takes place after Dream Traveler. If you don't want to read that story, I'll quickly summarize. Kanda fell in love with a new exorcist named Lameran. After a battle, in which they both nearly died, he proposed and she accepted and said yes.
Disclaimer: I don't own D.Gray Man. Neither do I own it's characters or anything else associated with it, though I would so love to own Kanda!! So anyway, on with the story!!
Chapter 1
It was a beautiful sunny day. Komui and Kanda stood beneath a pavilion while everyone else in the Black Order sat in chairs in front of them. Komui wore a white tux. Kanda wore a black one. Mugen was in the room Lameran and himself would shortly be sharing. Kanda had been all for a short ceremony. But Lameran had wanted a big wedding. So he had not objected to her taking over the planning for the wedding.
As soon as the wedding march began, everyone turned around eagerly. Lenalee walked before Lameran, as the maid of honor. Lameran herself wore a beautiful white gown with a full train. A veil hid her face. As the bride approached the groom, Kanda felt the urge to suddenly grab her and kiss her. When she finally stood next to Kanda, Komui began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to celebrate a very momentous occasion. Yuu Kanda and Lameran, two souls deeply in love, have decided to become one. We are here to witness this miracle and to share in their joy, as God is surely doing right now up in Heaven with us." He turned to Lameran.
"Lameran, will you take Yuu Kanda as your husband, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad?"
"I do." Smiling, Komui held her right hand in the air. He repeated the vows to Kanda.
"I do." Komui put his hand on hers. Komui took the rings from Lenalee, the maid of honor, and Allen, Kanda's best man. Lameran and Kanda exchanged rings.
"Is there anyone who desires for these two soul mates not to be joined as one. If so, speak now, or forever hold your peace." All was silent. "Then I now pronounce you two man and wife. Everyone behold, Mr. and Mrs. Yuu Kanda." As everyone cheered, Kanda finally unveiled his wife's face. She was smiling and crying at the same time. Then they kissed.
Everyone cheered loudly as Kanda swept his bride off her feet. Lameran's dress must have weighed twenty pounds by itself. "Just how much fabric went into this dress? I'm surprised you can even move around in it."
Lameran grinned. "I can remove the train. I'll drop it off in the room as we go to the cafeteria. Just removing it frees me. It's been a dream of mine to have a wedding dress like this ever since I was found in Valuduan. Thank you."
After Lameran had put her train in their room, since they were finally to share one, she went to the cafeteria. They walked arm in arm. As they entered, more cheers went up. Lavi walked up to them with two glasses of wine. He handed one to each of them, took one for himself from a passing waiter, and announced he would like to make a toast. Everyone fell silent as he held up his glass.
"To this double celebration. First and foremost, to Lameran and Kanda. May their years be long. Kanda, since it's your wedding day, you'll get a break. Though you're the last one I ever thought I would see marry." Everyone laughed. "And the second reason for this party is to celebrate our victory in the war, though it pales in comparison to our first cause to celebrate." Lavi drank deeply. Everyone followed his example.
Lameran took this time to look around. The cafeteria now looked like a five star restaurant. "I just finished the final touches." Jerry and a finder came out carrying a huge cake. Two tiny figures identical to the new couple stood at the top. "They're made of frosting. Amazing, isn't it?" He carefully handed them to Lameran and Kanda. "You two should take the first bite."
Lameran took the mini frosting Kanda while he took the mini frosting Lameran. As they were to put in each others mouths, Lameran shoved it into his mouth and all over his lower face. She laughed at his dumbfounded expression.
Somewhere music started up and platters of food were laid out. Nearby Allen began to drool and tried to go directly there. Lenalee, however, limited his food and then dragged him to the table where all the other exorcists were currently gathering around Kanda and Lameran.
"No. One glass is enough for me." Kanda was currently refusing Lameran's attempts to get him to drink more. But Lameran wouldn't give up.
"One more glass won't hurt, Yuu. Come on." She persuaded him to drink it. Meanwhile the celebration kicked into full swing. Allen got a whole bunch of people to play strip poker with him. He refused all alcohol offered to him, even as he took the other players into another room.
It finally ended at around one in the morning. Lameran threw her bouquet to the assembled crowd while looking in the opposite direction. Lameran turned around tipsily, since she was a little drunk herself, to see Lavi catch it. He immediately turned to a scientist with flaming red hair and green eyes and winked at her. She blushed heavily.
"You're drunk." Kanda looped an arm around her waist, both to help her walk straight and to stop her from falling. Lameran shook her head no and yawned.
"I'm not drunk. I only drank a little. Didn't you drink more than me?" Kanda nodded and continued to help her walk.
"Yes, I did. But unlike you, I have a high tolerance of alcohol. I'll only wake up with a slight headache. You, on the other hand, are a completely different story. Why didn't you listen when I told you not to drink so much?" Lameran snorted and tried to walk by herself as she pushed herself away from Kanda. The floor came up to meet her face.
Kanda caught her and carried her the rest of the way to their room. "I can walk by myself. Put me down." Lameran's voice was slurred and she was barely awake. She fell asleep a second later. Kanda sighed softly. When he reached their room, he took off her veil and shoes. Kanda laid her down and then laid down next to her.
Author's Note
So here is chapter one of the New Earl. Please read and review. My original plan was for Allen to get completely drunk, start playing strip poker, and still cheat perfectly despite being completely drunk. But sadly, when doing some D.Gray Man research, he doesn't touch alcohol apparently. That so ruined my plan!!
