The Four Rebels
A D. Gray – man fanfiction.
Full Summary; It's been near fourty years since the four Noah were reported missing from the Noah mansion. Their betrayal was universally cursed, the remaining Noah angered by the treachery. Now they find themselves returning, how will the Mansion react?
Their return will set off a series of events that could change the face of the war forever – in time, perhaps, they will find acceptance where never before they thought they could. And if that place is the Noah mansion, then so it is. If not? Maybe they can find another place to call Home.
Warnings; None as yet... some (read: lots) violence and gore in later chapters. And swearing, but not excessive amounts. Also, kinda blurry lines between what is right and wrong. Forgive me, I'm writing Noahs here!
A/N This is a re-write of a story I previously had uploaded on this site. That version was terrible. Please, if you read it, at least allow me a second chance in the form of this, new and improved version! If you never read that version – thank god. It's so embarrassingly terrible.... I hope you like this one! Please review....
ANOTHER A/N! This story is written so that the new chapters where ALL the Noah are now accounted for just DIDNT HAPPEN. So, in that way, it's kinda AU. The 'real' Noah from the story who are in this are; Tyki, Jasdevi, Lulabelle, Skin and Road. And the Earl. Obviously. I may also involve Sheryl...'Cause I love him so much...but that is to be decided later. No one other than this!
Ps, I do not own dgray-man. Sob. Only my four Noah and my storyline belong to me! I'm poor and worthless! Please don't sue me...

The Four rebels
Chapter One
*-*_*-*
Tyki was sitting, lazily reclining in a chair set outside the Millenium Earl's room. He was sitting comfily in black trousers and a sculpted white shirt, the top few buttons left open in the illusion of nonchalance. He drew in a deep breath, feeling the smoke tickle his throat and sighed in annoyance. He had been called to the Millenium Earl's presence half an hour ago, and he was still waiting for a single word from the man. He honestly felt like a boy sitting outside a head masters office, and he did not like it. He didn't even have any clue as to what it was he had been summoned by the Earl for. He sighed again, smoke curling lazily from his nostrils. He watched it dance slowly to the ceiling, then slowly dissipate into nothingness again, pushed out of way by the next wisp of smoke. Tyki had just become lost in his own thoughts when the door unlocked and creaked slowly open as if pushed by an invisible force.
"Come in, Tyki-Pon." Came the eerie voice from inside the room. Tyki growled under his breath at the pet name but chose not to make comment; he still did not know why he had been called, and he did not want to anger the Earl further if it was bad. He walked into the room, weaving his way in between the hundreds of oversized phones until he reached the Earl's chair. He took his cigarette out of his mouth and bowed slightly, his soft hair falling in front of his face. He pushed it out of the way as he stood again. "You summoned me, Earl?" He asked.
"Hai, haiii." The Early said, his grin managing to stretch a tiny distance further – somehow. Tyki kept silent, indicating for the Earl to go on. "As you know, Tyki-pon" Tyki gritted his teeth, returning his cigarette to his mouth, but forced himself to stay silent as the Earl went on "The war has recently...become harder to fight. We have need of as many warriors as possible. We are already working to create as many akuma as we can; but I wanted to swell our ranks in all areas" the eerie laugh did nothing to calm Tyki's bad feelings about where the Earl was going. "And so; I have called the four back."
Tyki did not move a muscle. He just stood there, and blinked.
"Tyki-pon?" The Earl waved a hand in front of Tyki, who shook his head to break himself out of his stupor.
"The rebels? Why on-how did you- what?" Tyki rubbed his eyes angrily, already feeling a headache forming. "With all due respect, Earl" Tyki bit out the words. "But they rebelled; we can't trust them! And how did you get them to come back?"
"They chose to come back. I forgave them for leaving all that time ago."
"Why? Ever wondered what the hell they have been doing the last 40 years? Most of the stuff they knew somehow found its way into the Bookman clan's hands!" Tyki forgot the 'due respect' and threw his arms up in annoyance at the Earl's stupidity "And then - then the bookmen joined with the order! They helped information into the enemies hands!"
"The Bookmen knew very little about us even with their help – they held back a lot. And now they want to come back. If you have a personal vendetta, take it up with them. They should be calling now, actually...." The Earl looked at his watch as Tyki rolled his eyes.
"That is weird! They normally are so punctual! I mean they-" The phone right next to the Earl rang mockingly. Tyki sighed as the unearthly grin spread even wider once again.
"Moshi moshi" The Earl answered the phone. "No, it's ok. I had someone here to talk to you." The Earl passed the phone to Tyki.
"Haiiii?" the voice on the other end of the phone rang with a quiet insanity; it was childlike and yet at the same time had an edge to it that implies an age most haven't felt. It was, however, on the surface simply the voice of a girl, perhaps twelve or thirteen; it was the voice of the Noah of Delirium. "Who?" obviously unaware that Tyki already had the phone.
"uuh... Hi Jin." Tyki tried to think of something more to say but couldn't, so left it at that. The girl on the other end of the phone didn't seem to mind too much.
"Tyki!" She shouted, insane happiness evident in her voice. Tyki couldn't help but smile slightly as someone whom he used to see in the same way he now saw Eas was suddenly on the other end of the phone. The Earl raised an eyebrow at Tyki's evident happiness at the prospect of seeing her again, despite what she and her friends had done. Tyki immediately let the smile drop and the scowl grace his features again as Jin's voice moved away from the phone "Guys! Its Tyki!"
"Ah, a pleasure, I'm sure..." The soft voice was distant from the phone, and yet carried perfectly. Tyki grimaced at the response- in the time where the Noah of Hear had been at the mansion, she and Tyki had got on... exceptionally well. And yet, somehow, she had one day suddenly faced him with anger and scorn, and Tyki had never been able to work out why, or how to apologise. Although Anabel – the true name of the Noah of Heart – was never outwardly angry, Tyki and her friends knew her well enough to know when she was being sarcastic. Jin chuckled at her friend's response, moving the phone back to her ear.
"Ana-chi says hii" Jin shouted hyperactively. Tyki would have pointed out the blatant lie, but a loud clattering and a few shouts heralded that the phone had been passed onto another person.
"Oh...uuh... Hi, Tyki" Feren Sommers, the Noah of Sight, had never really been friend nor foe of Tyki, and Tyki was content to greet him with a simple 'Feren'. The last voice to come through the phone was that of a twenty or so year old boy's, but deep and strong.
"Mikk" the eldest of the four, , neither closely liked nor disliked Tyki – they shared friendly barbs, but rarely close words. Tyki raised a delicate brow but didn't respond immediately to the man's short greeting. "It is good to hear from you again." Tyki could tell that the Noah of Chaos was trying very hard to be polite; he was the eldest of the four, and had to be on his best behaviour in order to gain forgiveness from the mansion as a whole. Tyki decided to make it as hard as possible. He inspected his nails.
"So not dead yet, Supaaku?[1]" Tyki clicked his tongue "Pity" He lazily blew smoke into the air about him, smirking at Shigemi's silence, during which the boy was doubtless grinding his teeth. Tyki smiled coyly and handed the phone back to the Earl, who had been watching with an amused glint in his eyes. Tyki dropped the smiled with an angry growl.
"I still think it's a bad idea." He said, before getting up to leave. At that moment, the phone next to him rang incessantly. The Earl and Tyki both looked at it for a moment, then back at each other. Tyki, after a moment, sighed angrily and picked the phone up. He didnt bother with the normal greetings, the Earl's silence about the call telling him all he needed to know.
"We heard that." Shigemi said, annoyed. Despite the annoyed tone, Tyki could hear the amusement behind his voice; Tyki grinned wolfishly, the cigarette hanging from his mouth loosely.
"Well, you already knew I hated you, didn't you? And don't abuse the Earl's phones – your powers aren't meant to be used to ring phones." Tyki glanced back at the Earl, ignoring Shigemi's response. "Anyway" He said, cutting Shigemi off "If you are here, who is now talking to the Earl?" He asked; the Earl was at this point nodding slowly into the phone, apparently greatly amused. Shigemi paused for a moment, then there was a shout of annoyance.
"Jin! Give me that back!"
"Aaaaw! But, but-" Tyki grinned, hung up the phone, and turned to leave, listening with half an ear the shouted arguments on the other end of the Earl's phone. No matter how hard they tried, the four renegade Noah had never settled well with the Earl being a higher up. Then, realising that he was smiling, Tyki dropped the face into a more befitting scowl of annoyance, stalking out the door without asking permission to leave. He hated the four, he really did.
Idiots, the lot of them.

"Its stupid." Tyki froze as he closed the door to the Earl's room, before turning and smiling at the eldest of the Noah.
"Road! How are you? Whats stupid?" He asked evasively, realising that Road, as the eldest of the Noah but for the Earl, would already know the Earl's plan. Road didnt bother to clarify this to Tyki, instead leaping immediately into a tirade.
"They're traitors. They left. We shouldn't be accepting them back! We should kill them!" Road's eyes burned with anger, and Tyki gulped. Despite her outward appearance, Road was the eldest and most loyal of all the Noah – and she had never taken betrayal well. When, fifty years ago, the four had run away, Road had gone on a war path unlike one seen since, much to the Earl's joy; he had had many new Akuma that day. Tyki did not doubt that the four would feel as much wrath as Road was allowed to release without breaking the rules the Earl had set down for around the mansion; namely, no Noah may harm another without the permission of the Earl. Tyki was pretty sure that's a simple and rather hard-to-evade rule, but Tyki knew that, somehow, the four would eventually regret ever leaving at all. After they left, Tyki had been the only remaining Noah whom suppressed his dark side nearly as much as the four – as he saw it, he had no desire nor need to be green and covered in tentacles all the time- and had thus often been on the receiving end of threats from Road, informing him of the things she could do. Tyki was pretty confident he would never betray the mansion.
"What about Shigemi?" Tyki reminded Road; the Noah of Chaos had always been good friends with the Dreams, and Tyki was pretty confident that his return should lighten Road's mood slightly. A flash of mild annoyance (as opposed to violent rage) passed Road's face before she suppressed it and turned to storm off, refusing to admit that her old friend' return did lift her spirits slightly. Tyki watched her go, then turned to leave himself in brooding silence, trying to convince himself that in the name of his own safety he should not be too happy at seeing his old friends.

Well...I hope this goes down well! As I say – this is going to be VERY different to the original story, so please give me a second chance! *begs*
The review gods are after me! I need tribute! Or they'll KILL ME! *claws at in desperation*
A/N for anyone who followed this story before: You may be confused by a few names changes. Because before, I simply used Japanese names for all of the characters (despite that they weren't all Japanese), and this time around I actually have worked out their origins and whatnot. The Yoshida Shigemi and Ishia Jin you will recognise (these two are still Japanese), but Akahana is now Anabel Laurent, and is French, and Gotou Rui is now Feren Sommers, a Prussian (Yes, I mean that, not Russia. Prussia was a nation that was dissolved in WW1. So, therefore, it was still around in the time -man is set). As well as name changes, these four have been seriously made-over. If you did follow this story before, I would recommend dropping all preconceived assumptions. Lots of changes are happening...
Yours, Kai xXxXx
