A/N: Here's the fanfic I was talking about in The Countless Ways to Annoy Yu Kanda. I felt like someone needed to act out a few things on that list. :3 I know it's another OC, but they're my favorite! Please enjoy!

As an added note: this Fanfiction is based off of the manga! Sorry for any confusion the previous readers had!

I do not own D. Gray-Man or any of the other characters.

Angeni Celeste strolled calmly through the streets of England, her long tawny brown hair blowing slightly in the wind. The sun had set and the full moon shone above like a polished opal set in onyx. She peered up at it, deep in thought. Her face, stained silver in the moonlight, showed a mixed origin; the strong cheekbones and jaw line of the Native American contrasted slightly with her smooth peach tinted skin.

Although she was short for her age, almost eighteen and barely clearing five foot, she carried herself with an authority that made her seem older than she was. Her most striking feature where her bright, almond shaped, amethyst eyes. They peered through the night like a hawk's, watching for the slightest movement.

'Where is that damned Black Order? Cross said it was around here,' Angeni thought, irritated. It had been over a year since she last saw the insane, drunken, womanizing General she called Master.

'Why couldn't he have brought me there himself?'

Cross had given her instructions to go to the Black Order but Angeni had other ideas that, at the time, she thought where more urgent. Now that she had dealt with that business, Angeni would obey Cross and go to headquarters.

'Now that I know for sure, I can get back to business.'

Out of habit, she pulled out the crumpled piece of paper to look at it. She would not bother with unfolding it as she had read and reread it many times; nothing would change the words or their meaning. A pang went through her chest, memories and images running rampant in her mind.

'Some things bring only sadness…'

Angeni swallowed the lump in her throat and straightened. There was more important business at hand and reminiscing about unattainable things would not get her to the Black Order any faster.

'I've got to move on…' she decided, shoving the paper back in her coat. She glanced at the sky for the third time. Even though she was used to traveling at night, something about the moon, the air, the night here, got her feeling uneasy.

Being an exorcist, Angeni paid close attention to her abnormally strong senses as they usually kept her out of trouble. Even though she couldn't see Akuma like Cross's other apprentice, Allen Walker, she usually noticed their presence before he did.

'Something's not right… I can taste it in the air…'

Everything felt electrified, like the air was charged and would explode without warning. It was suffocating.

'A storm's brewing…' She had just turned a corner when a familiar gold streak shot by. She stopped in surprise.

"Tim?" Angeni muttered, looking after the golem. He seemed to be chasing two young boys. Her face furrowed; Timcampy being here meant Cross wasn't far behind.

'What's that idiot up to?' She sighed, wondering if it was some kind of trap and Cross already knew where she was. It was strange though; she hadn't sensed him at all when she entered town.

She debated whether or not to follow, thinking of all the times Cross used opportunities like this to demonstrate his talent as a teacher, or a crazy man; Angeni had a hard time deciding which. Curiosity finally getting the better of her as it always did, she followed the route the golden golem had taken, hoping her deranged teacher wouldn't see her.

'He never reacted well to my disobedience; I don't think things will be any better now…' Angeni shuttered slightly at the memories.

A strange feeling washed over her, as she got closer to her target. She skidded to a halt and sniffed the air, sensing the tension. She recognized that feeling immediately, a sour taste in her mouth.

'Akuma.' Angeni continued her approach cautiously; if Cross was indeed here, he'd be able to take out a few Akuma no problem and she saw no reason to be seen by him unless she was needed.

'I don't want to get in the way.'

Her lean, petite body stalked closer, like a cat, feet silently padding the stone. She listened carefully, nothing but the wind brushing through the trees.

'Where is he? I would think-'

Her thought froze at the sight before her. The feeling of dark energy surrounded her, choking her and left a bitter taste in her mouth. Angeni's eyes widened.

"The Millennium Earl…" she whispered, an involuntary shiver going through her. His power was overwhelming and it held her in place. Angeni soon realized it was fear she was feeling and she stifled it quickly.

'No need to get worked up,' she told herself; fear was the last thing she needed and it would only cloud her mind. The Earl was standing in a cemetery, his office of choice; the two boys from before where right in front of him. There was a small explosion as a boy threw something in the Earl's chubby, smiling face. Angeni shook her head in disbelief.

'What a fool! Throwing things at the Millennium Earl!'

The boy was obviously terrified, shaking his friend, trying to get him to move. The other, well, didn't react. Angeni concentrated to hear their conversation; fully aware the boy was in danger.

"Leo has been dead for quite some time," the Earl said gleefully.

"He died on the day of his mother's funeral." The Earl's face contorted into a sinister sneer that made Angeni's stomach drop.

"That is an Akuma that was sent to punish you for getting in the way." The boy cringed, looking the Earl in the face. Angeni swiftly crept closer to the cemetery, her eyes on the Earl. Something broke her concentration and she lifted her head. Light footsteps echoed up the road.

'Wait, is that…'

"You're lying…" the boy said softly, still clinging to his friend. Angeni was looking for the source of the footsteps when a familiar voice called to the boy. Her body flooded with relief at the sound.

"It's true John, that boy is the Earl's Akuma." Angeni smiled at the sight, although it was not who she expected.
