[Note from the Author: Hallo! It's me again, with yet more procrastination. I have decided to start a 100 Theme Challenge! Hehehe. I wanted to thank bakaxusagi for the awesome idea as well as PMing me for awhile now. You're so awesome!

Alright, for those of you who haven't read my works yet, I am a huge Laven fan, and that is what I am basing most of these oneshots off. There will be some other pairings, but mostly Lavi and Allen. Some may be fluffy, others not so much. I may even throw in a lemon, who knows? Depends on the reviews I suppose. Also, these are unbeta'ed. My beta has enough on his plate with my two ongoing stories, I'd hate to give him even more Dx

Alright, here we go!

No, I don't own D. Gray-Man. Honestly, if I did, I'd probably give it back to the owner because I could never handle it. Plus, I can't draw worth crap D=

Happy Readings!

100 Theme Challenge

Theme 1 – Introduction

Another day, another mission. I sighed and ran my fingers through my red hair. I didn't really want to come on this mission with Panda, but I had no choice, it was something that only we Bookmen could do. We were called to Germany by Chief Komui and the mission sounded urgent. It turns out that Lenalee and a new Exorcist have run into a member of the Noah Clan, something that only Bookman and I know about. So of course, we were asked to meet the chief in Germany and talk to Lenalee and the new guy to gain more information and yadda, yadda.

I grumbled as I shifted in my seat. I hate long train rides. They are uncomfortable and boring. Panda never wants to talk to me, and I have nothing to read. On top of that, these damn seats hurt my butt. Sigh, I really want to go home. Having nothing better to do, I let my mind wander.

As I stared out the window of the train, I wondered what the new Exorcist was like. I'd heard that he was recommended by General Marian Cross. That meant that this guy was probably a womanizing drunkard just like his master. Oh, joy. Well, I suppose I have no room to talk about being a womanizer. After all, I like the ladies too. Heh, what can I say? Ladies are ladies, and you gotta love 'em.

Finally, after riding for hours, the train stopped at the town where we would meet up with our 'comrades'. Panda and I walked off the train in silence and made our way to the rendezvous point. As we walked along the streets of the town, Gramps spoke up for the first time since we got on the train. "Listen, Junior, the newest Exorcist has proven to be interesting. He has been deemed the 'Destroyer of Time'. It is also said that he is the one who will bring an end to the Holy War. I want you to get close to him and find out all you can about him. That is your newest mission. Understand?"

"Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Whatever you say Gramps," I replied in a nonchalant manner. Although I may not seem it to some, I am a very good actor. I'm also really good at fulfilling my mission as a Bookman in training. I have forty eight past aliases to prove it. It is my goal in life to take over Gramps' position as the Bookman when he decides to kick the bucket, and I don't plan on letting anyone stop me from reaching it. Like a good Bookman must, I've learned to smile and act pleasant when needed.

When we reached the hospital, we were directed to the room of Allen Walker. I guess that's the name of the so-called 'Destroyer of Time'. We made our way to the room and stopped outside the door. "Junior, I have forgotten something. You go inside and I will be there in a moment."

"'Kay," I replied and walked into the room. Once I opened the door, I saw the Chief talking to an old man who was lying in bed all bandaged up. I had to take a double-take. I was informed that he was a teenager, so I was confused.

Komui saw me and smiled, making the injured person turn their attention to me also. Now that I could see his face, I saw how young he really was. Sheesh, when I'd heard he was young my first assumption was that he would be seventeen or so. I was way off. The kid didn't look a day over fourteen. His face was still youthful, despite the slight wrinkles between his brows; his uncovered mercury eye was wide and innocent. By these standards, he seemed like a normal kid. His white hair and multiple bandages said otherwise. All in all, it looked like this kid had been to Hell and back.

Suddenly, something I never expected happened. My heart rate picked up. Had I not been in character in that moment, I would have punched myself in the chest, forcing my heart to slow down. I don't know what it was about this boy in front of me, but if he was able to make my heart, the heart of the determined Bookman Junior, pick up it's pace, he must be special.

Perhaps it was his eye that was so appealing to me. I'd never seen anyone have mercury colored irises before. Maybe it was the innocent look on his face, no one who is involved the Holy War would ever look that innocent. Or maybe, it was the brilliant grin he flashed me. It was a real grin, not a painted one. How on earth does a kid like him who just came back from fighting a Noah smile like that? I've heard that the kid can see the souls of Akuma, and yet he can still smile so easily like that? Is that even possible? I don't know. What I do know is, I want to get to know this kid. This mission is no longer only about knowing the 'Destroyer of Time' for the sake of future history books for future Bookmen to study, it has now become about knowing Allen Walker, the kid that sparked Bookman Junior's interest.

I smiled at the kid, realizing that it wasn't one of my normal fake smiles, but one of my very rare genuine ones that I hardly every show. "Hey there. Name's Lavi, but some call me Junior," I introduced myself.

"I'm Allen Walker," he replied, his voice so soft and full of youth. I couldn't help but smile again.

Let the mission begin.

[Note from the Author: Hey. How was it? Short, eh? Sorry about that. I thought it would be fun to write from Lavi's point of view while he was still in Bookman mode. I probably failed though, huh? Oh well, it was still fun to write ^w^

If you love me, please leave me a review? I'll give you a cookie? ^^; Even if you don't leave me a review, that's fine. It means a bunch that you took the time to read this. So thanks so much! I'll probably upload another one later either today or tomorrow. What? I'm bored and it's stormy outside, what do you expect?

Until Next Time!
