Chapter 1
Disclaimer: Do not own anything.
AN: The time setting in the manga, Count Cain is in the early 19th century aka the Victorian age in London. Where as in D. Gray man, it is in the late 19th century and takes place all over the world. (I mean the characters travel all over the world).
Early 19th century, London, England,
"Where are we?" Lavi wondered as he looked around the place. The place looked like London in the early 19th century, The Victorian age.
"That gown's enough to sweep the floor!" Allen pointed out to a lady with a huge yellow Victorian gown who was walking like a model as if the street was a catwalk.
"And her dress is so low cut," Lavi pointed out loudly.
"Don't point, incase she gets angry and comes for us," Leenalee told him. "First of all, we have to find out why we are here? This wasn't the surrounding from before,"
"Tch, that doesn't concern me," Kanda grumbled. "What concerns me is how do we get back, this was not the world we were in,"
"Well, how do you know?" Lavi asked.
"It looks very obvious. This is London, but it isn't the London that I used to know…." said Allen as he looked around. "This London is somehow different…"
"Wait a minute…this is the early Victorian Era of England, you can tell by how the women dress," said Leenalee. "So this is the early nineteenth century, but our time dates to the late nineteenth century, that means we are back a few decades in time! But how did…"
"Wait! Allen, that Innocence with you that you had just obtained not too long ago and when we were fighting that akuma, did it has something to do with this? I mean, you gave it to that kid…" Kanda was cut short.
"Yeh, that kid was the host for that innocence," Allen went on. "And then there was a bright flash and we all suddenly ended up here,"
"So that means that innocence was a time traveling innocence," Lavi finished.
"He's only a kid, he's not stable with his innocence yet," Leenalee reminded him.
"Hey, where are Krory, Bookman and Miranda?" Allen looked around. "Weren't they with us as well?"
………………….
"That means, the innocence obtained earlier on was a time traveling innocence," Bookman folded his arms as he explained to Krory and Miranda. "So happen that Allen, Leenalee, Lavi and Kanda have been separated from us,"
"But where is that kid who sent us back in time?" Krory asked. "What's his name again?"
"Guess he's here too and we'll have to find him," suggested Miranda. "But first we'll have to find Allen and others…"
A carriage sped by. They were standing on the side of the streets.
"What was that all about?" Krory asked, stunned. Up ahead were a few hooligans screaming, "The count has arrived, keep all the women inside,"
"What?" went Krory and Bookman.
"Let's get out of here," said Miranda as she ran off, followed by the two others.
Sometime later,
"Allen-kun!" Miranda called out as she ran across the street to greet the others. "Leenalee, Lavi, Kanda…."
"Miranda, Krory, Bookman," Leenalee greeted. "We've been looking for you,"
The exorcist stopped and glanced around to see people starring at them. Whispers filled the air, "Who are those people in the weird black outfits with that weird logo on it?"
"Damn, these people suck, it's like they have never seen black clothes before," Kanda grumbled. "Let's find somewhere to stay until we find that kid," he walked down the street.
Allen looked around to see women in huge gowns walking on the street, people working on the sidewalks, the carriages and of course the crazy people randomly throwing things out of their window.
"Damn this place is still kinda…." Lavi commented.
"Well, do you want to know more about the early 19th century?" Bookman asked.
"Up to you,"
"Let's find us a place to stay first,"
A carriage was coming forward. A Young girl at the age of 16 with strawberry blonde hair dashed across the road.
"Look out," Leenalee called out. It was too late, the girl was trembled. The exorcist rushed to help the girl who was knocked out. People gathered around, "Oh my, it's the the young count's sister, Merryweather,"
"Count?" asked Miranda. "Who is this count whom you speak off?"
"Why, he's Count Cain C. Hargraves of course, don't you know?" asked a rather plump woman.
Miranda laughed. "No, I don't. You see, I come from a foreign land," she lied and then asked, "Can you tell me more about this count?"
"Well," began one of the young girls. "Since you already know his name…ell, he's rich, wealthy and Count of the Hargraves estate. Rumors had it that he had inherited the title from his father who passed on. He has a strange hobby of collecting poison, thus he is known as the handsome devil of death,"
"Pwft! Lame!" went the entire exorcist.
"….his half sister is Merryweather. They share the same father but not the same mother…" went some of the young girls.
Kanda stepped into the crowd in the middle of the street. "Will the count ever come looking for his sister? We don't have time to save her, we just want to get the hell outta' here…"
"Kanda!" Allen shut him up.
"What is it, bean sprout?"
"Hey, I'm growing taller and taller you know…"
"Guys, knock it off," Bookman stopped them. "At least Allen's taller than Leenalee and I,"
"Guys, this is not the time to be talking about height," Leenalee scolded. "The real issue is what about this girl and how do we find that kid?"
"oh yeah, good question," said Krory. "We'll just take her back to the estate and let the servants take care of her,"
"Good idea," said Lavi. "Then we'd better find us a place to stay coz' it's getting late. Beside, I heard that during this era, lots of crackpots and serial killers walk the streets at night,"
"Well, at least they are no akuma in this era," said Krory.
The group of exorcist found their way to the Hargraves manner. At the door stood a tall man with white hair.
"In debt for saving the young mistress, you can star here for the night since you are looking for a place to stay," the young count's loyal butler, Riff invited them in.
"Well, do we have a choice?" Krory looked at the others. "If we were to go back to town and find a place, it would take hours,"
"Besides, it's too dark to go back, we'd mine ass well be staying," Bookman told Riff.
"Then do come in," said Riff as he showed them in.
"Thank you for your hospitality," said Miranda.
"You're welcome,"
The mansion was beautiful. There were so many rooms. They did not know where to begin. They were brought to the guest room as the maids tended to Merryweather. As they walked through the halls with elaborated decorated walls and plush carpets, they couldn't help noticing that the lighting was a bit to dull. They had wanted to ask Riff, but they'd better not.
They entered the guest room.
"Wah, so beautiful!" their mouths dropped open. They had never seen anything like it. They had no idea what money could buy. The living room was marvelous. The furniture was the typical European aristocrat style. On the coffee table was a very expensive tea set.
The bedroom chambers were rather beautiful. The girl's chamber had a huge poster bed with beautiful cream coloured satin curtains, bed sheet and many pillows. The wardrobe contained many old gothic Lolita Victorian dresses. And the dressing table was made for a queen.
"Isn't this a bit too much for a guest?" Leenalee asked as she took out one of the dresses from the wardrobe. The dress was black and white with black lacing.
"Maybe we could smuggle some of these home," she suggested.
"Well, we won't really have the time to wear it, "Miranda reminded her.
The boys room fit the same description as the girls, only thing was the wardrobe was filled with old tuxedos there was no dressing tables. There was a knock o the living room door. Allen answered it and there stood a maid, wheeling a cart loaded with food, "Dinner is served,"
"On, thank you," Allen thanked the servant.
Moments later, as they sat at the fancy shmancy guest living room (they refused to go down to the main hall to eat because they wanted to discuss something).
"Itadakimasu!" Allen pigged on his food. They all talked as they ate.
"I hope that girl's ok,"
"I feel that this house is weird,"
"I wonder how the count looks like,"
"I wonder how long must we have to stay here,"
"When we will find that kid,"
………
Sometime later.
Merry (for short) awoke to find out that she was back home in her bedchambers. Her servants had changed her clothes for her. She had not eaten her dinner yet. Her head hurt hurt, that's all she knew. She decided to just brush her teeth and go to sleep. But she could not sleep at all. All she could think about was her older half brother. She developed anxiety whenever he went out for some reasons but she didn't know why. For one thing, she did not like his flirting habits.
…………….
"Good evening, young master," said Riff as he took Cain's coat off. After a long day of being horny with women, he was home. Cain said nothing. He just headed straight upstairs.
