Prologue

There are some things in this world that not everybody knows exists. For one thing, the Noah Clan, Akuma, and Exorcists. But there is one thing in this world that not even these groups are aware of. The Innocentia Tribe has been around for as long as the Noah. The Tribe considers itself as an experiment on man gone wrong. They have super human strength, speed, and agility. Along with that comes a unique ability that each person has, so no two of the species are alike in that way. This is all possible because of Innocence. Whenever a Noah destroys a piece of Innocence, it's not lost, God takes some of this crushed Innocence and places a pinch in the souls of this species. Thus, the Purustans are born with super human abilities, and like normal Innocence, their Innocence can evolve, making them more powerful. They are like equals to the Noah, except they aren't born from Dark Matter. This species tries to hide itself from both the Exorcists and the Noah Clan. They live in the ruins of Atlantis. No, they can't breath underwater. It is a hidden city underwater with oxygen and lots of resources given to them by God to survive. They are a pretty unified society, and they are all taught to use their abilities. For the most part, the Purustans are neutral in this "Holy" war, but there are the exceptions, for the Purustans are allowed to live in the human world if they please. Nobody has left their hidden land until they were attack by a group of Akuma (a good 50 years before the regular D Gray Man time line). Now, Atlantis is just a base where the species grows up and then a couple of people soon leave. It's time for the human race to meet their evolved brethren…

Chapter 1: Separated

(Elizabeth's P.O.V.)

London, England

The air was slightly chilly as nightfall came. London was such, a busy city, so we should be able to find a place to sleep before it gets too late. I walked through the crowded streets with my two younger sisters, Angela and Coraline. We were soon able to find an inn close to the train station. We would be leaving for France in the morning. That's where we hoped to find our younger and older brothers, Dylan, Jay, and Curt.

"Can we have a room?" I asked the old woman at the counter as I handed her the money.

"I'm sorry dear, you don't have enough," she said as she pushed it back to me.

"Is there any way I can work tonight," I offered, "We only need to stay for the night."

She nodded as she gave me a room key. "Room 2B. You can come down to the kitchen in 15 minutes to start preparing dinner for the guests."

I nodded over at Angela and Coraline and we went up the stairs to the second floor. We walked into the room and put our suitcases down.

"You don't have to work alone," Caroline said, "We could help you, you know."

"I know," I said, "But it's only one night."

"Come on, Caroline," Angela said, "Enjoy the night off. It's not often we're given the opportunity."

"I wouldn't suggest falling asleep so quickly," I said, "This is a crowded town, the Millennium Earl is bound to us London to make more Akuma. Us being here is basically giving Akuma a reason to come here and cause chaos."

"Stop raining on our parade, Elizabeth," Angela said, "Besides, don't you have a job to do?"

I rolled my eyes at her as I took off my trench coat. Under it I was wearing a white dress that came up just above my knees. It had long sleeves and had strings that tied in the front. I wore black leggings underneath the dress and black leather boots that came up to my knees. I put my wavy, dark brown hair in a messy bun to keep it out of my way.

I walked down to the kitchen and heard thunder coming from outside. It seems like I'm not the one who's raining on Angela's parade. I walked into the kitchen to find the same elderly woman who was working in the front of the inn.

"People will come up to order through this window," she said, "And you will make the food and bring it to their table when it's ready. If I were you, I'd ask one of the girls that were with you to come and help you."

I did just that. I dragged Angela and Coraline down to the kitchen to help me. Coraline didn't mind, but Angela wasn't as quiet about how much she hated this. She was a really great cook, but she rather stay in her bedroom and sleep.

It wasn't long before people started coming in due the rain. Some people came to the dining area right away to eat and then get some rest. Others went straight to their bedrooms. Angela and Coraline worked in the kitchen while I served the food.

As the last couple left, the rain started to beat harder against the windows. Fortunately, it was too late for anybody to be out.

"Is there any room here?" I heard a deep monotone voice ask.

"Lucky for you, yes, how many rooms?" the old woman asked.

"Three," he said, "Is the dining area still open."

"They were just about to close, but you can still go get food if you want," the old woman replied. Well, there goes our permanent break.

I walked into the kitchen to find Angela face planted on the counter, and Coraline trying to keep her eyes open.

"Why don't you guys go get some sleep," I said, "There's a small group of people coming to eat, but I can take care of it." They nodded and didn't object to the idea. The girls sluggishly walked back to our bedroom.

I walked into the dining area to find three guys. The youngest of the three had white hair and gray eyes. He had a strange scar over his left eye. Next came a tall, optimistic looking red head with green eyes and an eye patch. But the one that caught my attention the most was the one with really long, dark blue (black) hair. He had dark, narrow yet beautiful eyes and what seemed to be a permanent scowl. He was overall beautiful. He'd be more beautiful if he smiled, though.

"Is there anything you'd like?" I asked as I approached the strange group of young men.

"I don't suppose you have soba noodles here," the long haired guy said.

"We don't have any prepared right now, but I think we have the ingredients to make," I said.

"I'll take anything, I don't care," the red head said.

"Well, if you're willing to make anything, I'll have…" the white haired boy started, "potatoes, Groton fries, and rice peel off…mapo tofu, beef stew, meat pies, and fired rice…oh, fried chicken, a salad, some scones, Korean barbeque, white rice-"

"I think I'd just be easier for you to point to everything you want me to cook you in the kitchen because I'm not going to remember all that," I said jokingly. Though, I was kind of being serious.

"Sorry," he said with a laugh, "What's your name?"

"Elizabeth," I said.

"Nice to meet you," he said, "I'm Allen, this is Lavi, and the grumpy looking one is Kanda."

"Nice to meet you guys," I said. I walked into the kitchen and cooked what they ordered, that is except for Allen. After bring Lavi and Kanda their food, I asked Allen to tell me what he wanted and I brought it to him three at a time.

I sat with them as they ate. At that point, Allen wasn't asking for any more food.

"What are you guys doing in London?" I asked.

"The rain forced us to stop," Lavi said, "We're heading somewhere else." My guess, the Black Order because they showed no effort in trying to hide their coats.

"That's the case for everybody here," I said.

"So Elizabeth, have you lived here long?" Allen asked.

"No," I said, "I'm just passing through the city with my sisters. What about you Allen?"

At that question, Allen nearly joked on his food. "W-what ever c-could you m-mean?" he stuttered.

"I was just assuming, since you're name is supper English, that you once lived here in England," I said.

"Oh…um that's complicated," he said as his face turned slightly pink. He was probably embarrassed from overreacting for no reason. Now to give them a reason to stay here a while.

"I hope those demons that everybody's been talking about don't attack the town while we're still here," I said casually.

"Demons?" Kanda said finally speaking.

"I heard some people in town today saying there were demons going around London shooting at anything that seems to be alive," I said. The boys gave each other a look. I wasn't lying, the people have been whispering about these "demons", which I know are Akuma.

"Thanks for the meal," Allen said as he piled all his empty plates.

"You're welcome," I said. I started taking the plates into the kitchen and left them in the sink. I didn't bother washing them, I was too tired. I walked up to our room to find Angela and Caroline asleep in their beds. Conveniently, this room had three beds. I went into the washroom and took a shower. I slipped into similar clothes seeing it's the only type of clothes I can afford. I crawled into bed and let the rain put me to sleep.

I heard numerous gunshots and screams coming from not far in the distance. Akuma. I looked outside and noticed it stopped raining but it was still night time. Morning would come in only a few hours and so would the first train.

"Caroline," I said as I shook my sister, "Angela," I called out to the other one that was knocked out, "Wake up, we have some Akuma to take care of."

They got up and we grabbed our suitcases. They left through the window as I went down the steps. I left the room key on the front desk and ran out the door. This isn't something we couldn't handle.

I made it to the chaos in time to see Angela throw fire balls at the Akuma. Caroline was blocking their bullets and protecting Angela and herself with her shield ability. I felt my energy threads tie around my fingers and I extended the metal-like strings. I then slashed and sliced through all the Akuma that came my way.

"Innocence Activate," I heard a voice behind us call. I turned around to find the Exorcists. Allen used his arm to slice through Akuma. Kanda used his Mugen. Lavi pulled out a hammer that he was able to change the sizes of.

Once the Akuma were all defeated, I didn't give them any time to ask questions. I took off with Angela and Caroline following right behind me. We zig-zagged through the city until we made it to a dead end. I heard foot steps and knew they were not that far.

I took Caroline and threw her over the building. "Take care of each other," I said.

"What are you doing?!" Angela asked.

"I'll meet you in France," I said as I gave her a boost over the building. I turned around and saw Lavi, Allen, and Kanda.

"Elizabeth," Allen started, "We don't want to hurt you, we just want to ask you a couple of questions…"

"And then I'm sure you guys will take me to the Order where they will do God knows what to me," I said. I then ran passed them as fast as I could and took down the street. Suddenly I felt something grab me around the arms and waist. I looked down to find myself trapped in Allen's gigantic hand. I struggled and tried to get out but Allen's grip only tightened.

"We won't take you to the Black Order unless you want to," Allen said, "Trust us."

I didn't say anything, but when I stopped struggling, it gave them the hint that I was listening.

"We know the only way to kill Akuma is with Innocence," Kanda said, "How did you get yours?"

"I didn't get my Innocence," I said, "I was born with it. It was put in my soul just like the other people of my kind."

"And your kind is?" Lavi asked.

"An evolved version of humans," I said, "We are born with Innocence in our souls giving us special inhuman abilities."

Allen's grip loosened slightly. "So that explains why you and your traveling companions were able to defeat the Akuma," he said, "But why did you run away?"

"My kind is well aware of the war between the Exorcists and the Millennium Earl," I said, "They don't care if we get involved or not because the majority of our people are neutral, that includes me and my sisters. The last thing I want is to get involved-"

"But by fighting Akuma you are getting yourselves involved," Kanda said.

"Consider it a gift," I said as I sent him a glare, "And it's not our fault. Because the Innocence is in our souls, they are amplified and it makes it easier for Akuma to find us. They think our Innocence is in a weapon or something and they attack us. Now Allen, can you let me go."

"Only if you agree to come with us to the Order," Allen said.

"What?! Why?" I shouted.

"I think we can all agree that you would be a valuable asset to the Exorcists," Lavi said.

"But I didn't agree to this-" I started but Kanda cut me off.

"Don't say you don't want to get involved because like it or not you and your sisters are," he said.

I sighed in frustration. "Fine, I'll go with you to the Order and I'll give it a try, but if I don't like it there, I'm leaving," I said.

"Agreed," Allen said. I felt his grip begin to loosen.

"Wait, short stack," Kanda said. He pulled out some rope from I-don't-know-where. He tied my wrists together and formed something like a leech to pull me. Allen then let go of me.

"We don't want you escaping," Kanda said. He then tugged me and led me through the streets of the London. How did I end up falling in love with this man?

End of Chapter 1. Hope you enjoyed my Yu Kanda love story so far.

Cheers!
