I Repeat.
This is a D. Gray Man Fanfic.
Follows the Manga.
Beware of the language.
Rated T.
Full summary: Kuro was shocked. So far she had a pretty crappy life. She was ready for the world. But she never thought that the death of Mana Walker would affect her that badly. Even after ten years she is still devastated in a way. Condemning herself to a lonely life, Kuro continued walking. Then, she met the boy with pure white hair. Kuro had found a Walker. His name is Allen.
But when he turns out to be an exorcist, the very people whom she dislikes with in intensity, what is she going to do? Although being a wielder of innocence herself, the Millennium Earl himself has given her a proposition: Join him. To Kuro, joining either sides of the war sounds equally ridiculous, so she simply became her own side. She was going to show them that she sure as hell can hold her own in this situation.
She was not Black. Nor was she white. She was grey.
Disclaimer: If I owned D. Gray Man, I would have been the happiest person in the world since years ago. Which is what I will never be. I only own my OC, Kuro. And the other random OCs.
PROLOGUE
The sky was dark. The clouds clumped together, blotting out every single light in the sky out of existence. If it was not for the street lamps, the world would have been plunged into total darkness. There was not a single soul in sight. All but one.
Lightning struck in the distance and without warning, it started pouring.
A figure stood in the middle of the graveyard, seemingly oblivious to the rain and her surroundings. In her world there was only the grave and her.
She was soaked to the bone.
Yet she could not feel.
Nor could she hear.
Shocked.
For, in front of her, laid the body of the only person whom she knew as a friend, buried deep underground.
The only one whom she loved as her family.
"Mana..." A faint whisper. "You fool..."
She was not crying. Her overall expression didn't change. However, blood flowed down her cheeks, leaving stains. The red trails were soon washed away by the pouring rain. Only to be replaced by more.
"You...idiot... Why did you die..."
For a moment, only the sound of rain could be heard. Followed by laughter. She laughed. It sounded like she had gone mad. She had lost her mind. It sounded like it belonged to a person who broke. A desperate human who could do nothing against the world. A desperate little girl who had seen the deaths of so many, saw what beyond what others had, hated by almost all that she knew and worst of all, was unable to even do a single damn thing.
The mad laughter stopped.
She had long ago decided that she was worthless. She blamed herself and her actions for every thing that ever happened.
Maybe... It was the world's way of telling her that it did not want her. It hated her.
Oddly enough, that thought did not faze her at the slightest.
To others, she was a monster that killed ruthlessly.
To her family, she was a failure, and their bane of existence.
To herself, she was as good as dead. She had long since forgotten how it is like to be human. Hell, maybe she wasn't even a human being.
But there was one person whom she met. That person understood her.

"Crying is useless. Tears are nothing but the shape of our weakness, and they won't bring any absolution."
"Maybe it's because you have been through too much, that you cried until you tears dried up."
-oOo-
"You should smile more often."
"Why?"
"You look nicer when you smile."
"Emotions are worthless."
"But you just smiled."
-oOo-
"Do you have a name?"
"I do not have one."
"Everyone has one."
"I am not everyone."
"Mine is Mana Walker."
"Call me what ever you want."
"Tell me."
"..."
"..."
"... Kuro."
"That's a sad name. It means 'darkness'.
"I guess it suits me. I have been in darkness my entire life."
"Depressing. You should be more optimistic. Look at the bright side. Isn't that what you wanted?"
-oOo-
"Why don't you ever cry?"
"I thought I told you."
"You should not hold your feelings back. It's okay to cry."
-oOo-
"If I were to leave early, can you promise me one thing?"
"Depends."
"Shed tears for me."
"...you are crazy."
"I would have done that for you."
-oOo-
"...a promise..." A murmur.
The rain slowed down to a drizzle.
As she stood in the graveyard, she did the last thing she expected herself to do.
She cried.
-oOo-
So the little infant fell into a deep sleep.
(Soshite bouya wa nemuri ni tsuita)
Among the grey ashes in the flames shining...First one,then two ...
(ikizuku hai no naka no honoo, hitotsu, futatsu to ukabu fukurami itoshii yokogao)
Surfaces numerous of your faces
(daichi ni taruru ikusen no yume, yume)
A thousand dreams trickle back to the earth
(Gin no hitomi no yuragu yoru ni)
On the night when the silver eyes were trembling, the shining you was born
(umare ochita kagayaku omae, ikuoku no toshitsuki ga)
Across millions of years,the prayers have already returned back to the earth
(ikutsu inori wo tsuchi e kaesshitemo)
I will still continue to pray
(Watashi wa inori tsuzukeru)
Please bestow upon this child your love
(douka konoko ni ai wo)
Upon our joined hands, leave a gentle kiss
(tsunaida te ni kisu wo)

"Kuro."
"What?"
"I love you as a sister."
"You are annoying."
"You are mean."
"Act like an adult already."
-oOo-
"Don't stop walking."
-oOo-
"Don't stop walking..." she whispered.

Seconds passed.
Followed by minutes, which turned to hours.
There she was. She was sitting right beside the grave of Mana Walker.
By now, the sky had cleared, revealing the formation of stars.
The moon hung overhead, shining brightly, illuminating the features of the girl. Shoulder length purple hair, a face without a single blemish, perfect, timeless and beautiful. Too perfect. But at the same time, deadly and emotionless. However, her mismatched ice blue and yellow eyes held sadness. They were the eyes of those who had seen too much, which looked out-of-place on the girl. If one were to look closely, you could see that her eyes had no reflection or pupils. She was around 10 to 12, and was dressed in a cloak, trousers and a blouse, looking far too young to be wandering around.
"Hey, Mana." She spoke. Gazing at the now cloudless sky, she smiled tenderly. "The stars are beautiful tonight, aren't they?"
There was no response.
"It is a pity that you are not here to see them."
She wondered if there really was a heaven up there. But if there was, then there must have been a god as well. But again, if there really was a god, in her opinion, he was one sick and uncaring bastard.
"Worship you my ass." She commented absent-mindedly. He had officially made her life a living hell. If there was a god, then where was he when she needed him the most?
The sun peaked out of the horizon, signalling the start of a new day. She stood up.
"See you, Mana."
She disappeared into the rising sun, leaving behind an imprint on the muddy ground. A soft gentle breeze caressed the spot where she had once been, and a whisper spoken lovingly, faint and barely heard, but a whisper nonetheless, could be heard.
"Don't stop walking."
How was that for the prologue?
Oh well.
Flames will be use to fry noodles for my dinner, please don't sue me and criticisms are allowed. No racism intended.
Oh, and one last word.
Please leave a review on your way out, believe me, those things make my day brighter.
Peace out.
