Fanfiction based of D. Gray Man by Hoshino Katsura.
Chapter 1:
She had been waiting for hours. Sighing, she shifted uncomfortably on the stiff plastic seat.
The corridor was quiet save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall opposite. She glanced irritably at it; quarter past 2 and still no news whatsoever.
"A-ahem. Excuse me Miss…Lilly?" said a voice somewhere to her right.
She frowned and turned towards the source.
A man, probably in his early twenties, stood fidgeting nervously before her.
She stared.
Despite his age, the man had completely snow white hair and a red scar which ran down the left side of his face. She glanced at his name tag.
Allen Walker. Junior Doctor.
"Ah yes. That's me." She replied standing.
"I presume you have an appointment with Mast- Uh. I mean. Doctor Cross?" He asked consulting his manila folder.
"…Yes I do."
"Well if you would just follow me…" he said cheerfully turning on his heel and striding down the hall.
She nodded and trailed warily after the young doctor. They paused before a plain wooden door. Inscribed in thin black writing on the gold name plate were the words:
Dr. Marian Cross
Allen raised a hand and knocked twice before opening.
"What the? What on earth is going on here?" He jumped back in disgust.
Lilly peered curiously around him.
Her mouth dropped.
The office was as unlike an office as was possible. It was large and very well furnished. It also smelt – strangely enough - of smoke and alcohol. Her eyes landed on a rather flamboyantly dressed man who lounged much too casually behind his large mahogany desk.
"Now who do we have here?" he said in a low and seductive tone. "Come in and take a seat."
"Uhm…" Lilly hesitated, unsure whether or not it was safe to actually approach this strange man.
He chuckled. "No need to hesitate darling. It's alright to approach me."
"Uh…" Lilly took a step back. "Thanks but…I think I'll be more comfortable here."
"Oh? But I insist -"
"MASTER!" Allen strode over and slammed the manilla folder upon the other's desk. "What the hell have you been doing while I was away?"
He shrugged, looking completely unperturbed by the young doctor's outburst. He scanned the documents before him.
"Lilly Lai…" he said slowly, "interesting name. Chinese?"
Allen looked positively livid. "LISTEN WHEN SOMEONE IS TALKING WILL YOU?"
"I could say the same to you brat. Can't you see that I'm talking?"
"Y-you…"
"And another thing. You're in the presence of a beautiful being. Filthy things such as yourself should get the hell out of here."
Allen glared. "And leave you in the same room as Miss Lai? I think not." He turned to Lilly and gave her an encouraging smile, "Don't mind him. He may be a creep but I promise he won't do anything physical."
"…"
"While I'm in the room anyway and please, do take a seat." He motioned towards the leather chair.
Lilly looked from him to the chair to the doctor then back again. She sighed and grudgingly approached the desk. Cross grinned.
"Couldn't resist me in the end eh…"
Lilly shot him a piercing look. "I'm not doing it because of you."
"For him then?"
Allen gave a warning cough.
Cross sighed and shuffled the documents. "No illnesses for the past 2 weeks; Heart rate, temperature and blood pressure – normal. It seems your health is in good condition." He looked up. "And you're sure you want to go through with this operation?"
"Yes."
"You do realise that you're taking a huge risk right? If this operation fails…you may end up losing your sight forever."
Lilly gritted her teeth. "I'm well aware of that."
Cross eyed her appraisingly. "I suppose it would be such a waste if you hid your eyes behind glasses," he murmured. "You have beautiful eyes you know."
She looked down and did not answer. The door to the office swung open.
"Late." said Cross leaning back against his seat. "What's your excuse this time?"
"Tch. You know very well why," replied a smooth voice.
Lilly's head snapped up and she turned to face the stranger.
Her breath hitched.
She wasn't sure what she was expecting – an overweight sweaty old man perhaps - but whatever it was, it most certainly wasn't this.
The man was most likely of Japanese descent with sharp, dark eyes and equally dark hair tied back in a high ponytail, and despite his rather obnoxious scowl, Lilly could tell that he was handsome. He was immaculately dressed in a crisp blue shirt, black tailored trousers and white coat. He was young. Surprisingly young, probably only a year or so older than herself.
He strode towards them, the sound of his shoes making sharp clacking sounds against the polished floor. Pausing, he surveyed the room impassively. His eyes landed on a young woman, sitting bolt upright in her chair and looking right back at him.
A pregnant pause.
Heart hammering madly, Lilly tore her eyes away, suddenly aware that her face was burning.
Cross smirked, looking between the two. "I suppose an introduction would be necessary. Miss Lilly Lai, surgeon Yuu Kanda," He gestured offhandedly at the Japanese, "and anaesthesiologist Lavi Bookman."
She started and swivelled around to face the other occupant of the room.
"Hi!" said the redhead eagerly, "the name's Lavi. Wow. Say how old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Lilly blinked in surprise.
"Usagi…" began Kanda warningly.
"What? Is Yuu jealous that I got to speak to her first?"
Kanda closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his mouth – probably to say something offensive – but closed it again as he thought better of it.
Instead he turned to the startled girl and offered her a brief and slightly strained smile.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Miss Lai. I'll be the one overlooking your operation."
Lilly looked up into those captivating black eyes and could only nod in reply.
Yuu Kanda was gorgeous, period.
