Alrighty,here we go! I know that I should be doing other things, but this particular story has been sitting in my files, gathering dust. It's a story that I wrote with my two bestest best friends in the whole widest wide world, based on a trip we actually took. Everything that happens in here actually did happen, except for a few obvious things. ^^;
Allen: RhiannonWolf does not own DGM or any of the characters. Just the plot.
Thank you very much Moyashi-chan!
Allen: Aw, not you too!
And now, please enjoy the insanity!
Chapter 1: Assignment
~Exorcists~
"America?"
"That's correct," Komui said from behind his desk. "I have a new mission for you three in America."
Kanda crossed his arms, annoyed. "Che. Whatever. Let's just get this over with."
"We haven't even been briefed yet Kanda." Allen said, shooting him a look.
Lavi was standing beside them, a smug little grin on his face. "You know, I've always wanted to go to America. I hear the girls are really cute."
Allen sweat-dropped.
'Whatever keeps him away from my sweet Lenalee…' Komui thought.
"We won't have time for that Baka Usagi!" Kanda shouted, brandishing Mugen at the red head.
"Now, now don't fight." Komui said, looking at the Exorcists before him. "There have been some reports of Akuma on the Meramec River in Missouri, and it is quite possible that Innocence is the reason. Your job is to go there, destroy any Akuma you find, and to look for the Innocence. You have a lot of work to do; I estimate that you'll only need to be there for a couple days, but if you need more time, contact me to let me know."
"We will." Allen nodded, standing up from the striped couch. "We'll see you in a couple days Komui."
Komui nodded, then he paused. "Oh wait, one more thing."
Kanda halted, almost outside the door, and growled. "What now you stupid sister-complex?"
"I just forgot to mention that on this mission, you'll need to blend in." Komui said. He handed a piece of paper to Lavi, who was closest. "Apparently there are going to be a lot of people floating down the river, and it just wouldn't do if you were to get, shall we say, shunned. You know what I mean, right?"
Allen and Lavi nodded. Kanda just continued to glare.
"So that paper that I just gave Lavi is a list of things that you may need in order to blend in." Komui said with a smile. "So good luck to you three."
xxXXxx
Allen, Lavi and Kanda were met with the Finder who was going along with them, who was apparently a native from the area they were headed, and so he could help them get around.
"Why the hell do we have to wear this?" Kanda grumbled when he saw the clothes that were going to help him 'blend in'.
"Aw, come on Yuu-chan!" Lavi said happily, pulling off the shirt he was currently wearing. "They're just regular clothes."
"Do not call me that Baka Usagi!" Kanda shouted in response, threatening to hit the red-head.
The clothes were really very normal, just different from what the three usually wore. All three had been given a pair of jeans, and T-shirts. Lavi, of course, had picked out his own shirt, which was a light gray and had an old man holding a fishing pole on it, with the words 'I'm a Chick Magnet' emblazoned beneath. He was wearing his hair down, in order to cover up his eye patch, since that wasn't something seen every day.
Kanda was going to wear a dark navy blue V-neck shirt. There really wasn't much to it at all…
Allen, of course, was going to stick with his long sleeved-button up shirt, even though Lavi pointed out that he probably wouldn't 'blend in' so well on the river with that.
"I just won't draw attention to myself." Allen said when Lavi questioned his choice of shirt. "Thus the reason I'm also going to put on concealer."
Of course Allen wouldn't want to draw attention to his scar. It would only make things difficult.
"It's going to be hot-"
"I'll be fine." Allen persisted.
Lavi sighed. "Okay, if you say so…"
xxXXxx
The trip overseas was long and tedious. Allen would have loved to use the Ark, but he couldn't, since he'd never been to the Midwestern United States before. So they'd have to do it the hard way.
Once they arrived, they rented a car, which the Finder drove, and headed of towards their destination. They were driving through the state of Missouri, which was the location of their mission. More specifically, their destination was a part of the Meramec River, more towards the south.
"So…first we need to stop off and get some supplies…" Lavi said from the passenger seat as he read the list Komui had given them. "And what we need is…well, food,"
"Of course." Allen interrupted. "And lots of it."
"Easy Allen…" Lavi laughed nervously. He returned his gaze to the paper in his hand. "And also…we need a tent, oh, and we should probably get some swimming trunks too…don't wanna walk in wet jeans…"
"Well, are we going or not?" Kanda growled, eyeing the red head in the front seat.
"Yes we are Yuu-chan!"
"I said don't call me that!"
