D-Gray Man:
What once Was
The 1st night: Past Revived
Sweet, blowing wind
Singing down the hills and valleys
'That voice…'
Keep your eyes on me
Now we're on the edge of hell
'…who is it?'
Dear my love, sweet morning light
You've gone much farther…too far…
'I know I've heard it before…so where?'
Allen looked around him. 'Where am I?' He blinked, then wandered around the small home. He knew had been here before…why couldn't he place his finger on it? He stopped when he saw a little girl wearing a black and white dress run by. "Umm…excuse me…" He held out his hand to try and stop her, but gasped slightly as his hand went through her. Allen stood there a minute, the girl's footsteps getting farther and farther away. Only then he looked down at himself. His eyes widened when he realized that he was see-through.
'I…I have to be dreaming…'
He looked up, realizing that he wasn't where he was just a moment ago. There was a door in front of him, lined with decorative silver and gold lining, intricate design crawling across its dark, oak wood. It wasn't just any old door. That, he knew for sure.
On its own, his hand reached toward it, as if someone else was controlling it. He tried to pull it back, but the other force controlling his anti-akuma weapon hand was stronger. Bright light erupted from the now opened door, making Allen cover his eyes with his arms.
The next thing he knew, he was in the mountain side, overlooking a large, clear lake. His eyes widened slightly. 'I've…been here before…where…?'
"Look, see? I told you, we'd get here!"
Allen looked to his right. A young girl, looking no older than the age of four, came up the mountain, a young boy beside her. The boy looked like he had just turned three. He had short, light brown hair, and brown eyes. The girl had dark brown hair, almost black, coming up to her shoulders, and dark eyes.
"Well? How do you like it?" the girl asked the boy, putting him up to her shoulders to give him a better look at the lake. "Isn't it like I told you?"
The younger child had a big smile on his face and nodded. "Uh-huh!" He pointed to the lake and looked down. "Swim, swim!" A laugh came from her lips.
"You know you can't swim yet."
Allen watched as the two headed towards the shore of the lake, and followed them. He watched as they played in the shallow water, both laughing and seeming to have the time of their lives. A smile appeared on his face, though he didn't know why.
All of a sudden, everything became still, the boy, the girl, even the soft waves that were being pushed by the wind stopped in their tracks. Allen blinked. "What happened?"
Shine, bright morning light
Now in the air the spring is coming
Allen blinked. It was the same voice. He looked around, trying to find the source, but all around there was nothing but the lake and the mountainside.
'Allen.'
His eyes widened and looked around him once more. "Who's there?"
'Allen…Allen…'
"Come out already!" he yelled out, his voice echoing around him.
'Allen…Allen, wake up…'
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you've gone much farther…
He blinked. "Wake…up?" Images flashed before him, starting with the two children playing, then back to the mountains, then to the door, then back to the first meeting of the girl. It was only now that he realized that that girl was the very same one who had taken the little boy to the lake. "Who…?" His eyes widened even more when the girl turned to look at him, her ocean orbs seeming to pierce through him.
…too far…
Her mouth opened, the voice of the singer calling, "Allen…"
Allen's eyes snapped open and he jolted upright, little beads of sweat showing across his face. 'What the…' He placed a hand onto his forehead. He felt a headache coming on.
"Allen, are you alright?"
Allen looked up, only to see Lenalee's worried face. He placed a smile on his lips and nodded. "Yup! Just a bit tired…."
"A bit?" Lenalee wasn't convinced. "You were groaning in your sleep, you looked like you were having a nightmare…"
Once again, Allen smiled at her. "It wasn't a nightmare--"
"Then what was it?"
Allen looked down, unsure of what to say. "It was….uhm…"
"Lenalee! Allen!"
Both teens jumped slightly at the booming voice. They turned and saw Reever at Allen's door, out of breath. "You-you have a new mi-mission…" he breathed out, before falling to the floor.
"Ah! Reever-san!" Both Lenalee and Allen went over to him, but as soon as they got to his side, he raised his head and said,
"Report to Head Officer Komui's office…he wants you to get there as soon as possible…I'll just sleep in your bed, Allen…" He rose like a zombie and seemingly floated to the bed, and immediately plopped himself down, falling asleep even before his head hit the pillow.
The two teens blinked, a sweat dropped forming on their heads before going to Komui's office. As soon as they entered his room, the usual cluttered papers greeted them, along with another exorcist's smiling face.
"L-Lavi? When did you get back?" Allen asked as he and Lenalee walked through the forest of papers. He had an even bigger smile on his face than either of them had ever seen before. It was kind of….creepy.
"Don't mind Lavi….he's just too happy about this next mission…" Komui's head appeared from the pile of messed up papers on his desk, a book or two plopped open on top of his dark hair. "Allen, you, Lenalee, and Lavi are going to go on a mission to Britain. There's been a fairly large amount of Akuma activity there the past few weeks. I want you three to go there and investigate, and to retrieve any innocence that may be involved."
"Komui!" Lavi interrupted. "Didn't you say that--?"
"Yes, yes, Lavi. Don't worry about it."
Lenalee and Allen looked at each other and blinked, not knowing what the other two were talking about. "Nii-san, what are you talking about?" she asked, her dark orbs blinking.
"Oh, that's right. There will be another exorcist accompanying you on this mission. You'll meet her when you meet the finder that will accompany you," Komui told them, just before a landslide of papers buried him.
Lavi laughed, took some papers off his desk, and headed out the room, a huge smile on his face. "Come on, you two! We don't have all day!" he cheered behind his shoulder before disappearing into the corridors.
"I wonder….why he's so worked up about this…" Allen said aloud. He jumped when another landslide of papers occurred, this time revealing a very dazed Komui. He raised his hand, his index finger pointing up in a matter-of-fact way, trying to look like he was perfectly fine.
"Lavi is just excited that he gets to see his partner again."
"Partner?"
"That's right. The exorcist you're working with is Lavi's partner, who he hasn't seen in about…six months." As soon as the last word escaped his mouth, Komui's head dropped to his desk, and was fast asleep.
Lenalee sighed and shook her head. "Nii-san will be out for a while, we should go now. Lavi's waiting for us after all." With a nod from Allen, the two of them followed Lavi's path down to the boats.
If you are lost in your way
Deep in an awesome story
Don't be in doubt and stray
Cling to your lonesome folly
Allen stopped in his tracks, looking around. Lavi and Lenalee looked up at him from where they sat in the boat. "Allen?" Lenalee asked. "What's wrong?"
The silver-haired teen looked at his friends. "You…you guys don't hear that?"
Now you're too close to the pain
Let all the rain go further
Come back and kiss me in vain
Mother, oh do not bother
The two looked at each other, blinked, then looked back up at him. "Allen…the only sounds are of the water. We don't hear anything…"
Allen's eyes narrowed, then got into the boat, behind Lenalee and Lavi. "Are you sure…?"
Hear the chorus of pain
Taking you back to proper ways
It's so easy to find
If you could remind me
"Listen. Don't you hear it at all?"
The only responses he received were worried glances from the two of them. "Allen," Lenalee started, "are you sure you're up for this? I mean…it's like you're hearing things…" she stopped when she saw Allen's serious face. "Allen-kun…really, I don't hear anything. And neither does Lavi…"
Allen's silver-grey orbs looked down at the bottom of the boat. This song….it was so familiar, why couldn't he put his finger on it? He closed his eyes, letting the soft swaying of the boat calm his clouded mind.
Now you are lost in your way
Deep in an awesome story
So I will find you again
Kiss you for lonesome folly
He knew one thing for sure. This voice….and the voice in his dream…were one in the same. 'I'll remember…one day…who this voice belongs to…'
