The New Exorcist

A/C: This is my first story. Reviews would be nice, flames will be ignored. Anyway I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the -man characters that are featured in this story. The only characters I own are my OC's.

Chapter 1

I had hoped that it wouldn't be long until the boy I liked, from my village of Kyoto, noticed me. Unfortunately I had been waiting most of my life for him to notice me and he had not done so. He was tall and handsome, with ebony coloured hair pulled back into a ponytail and eyes that were the colour of the sea on a stormy day. His name was Tsukite Matsumoto. Tsukite had not noticed me while I was in Kyoto, so I would assume that he would not miss me either.

I looked around my home and started to wander aimlessly searching for a certain something that I knew could not be found. When I had come to this conclusion I decided to leave Kyoto and search for a place that would offer me comfort and a place to live, as I exited the village everything went black….I woke from my dream in a cold sweat. I looked at the clock on my bedside table and with a sigh I lay back down again. It was only 4am. There were still a few more hours until dawn. At dawn I would rise and be ready for my first day of work as an Exorcist. Or so I hoped. But I figured that there might be some training or something first though.

I am Suki Kimura, one of the newest members to join the Order, which has recently moved to its new HQ in London, England. I found my innocence a few weeks ago in the form of an heirloom mother-of-pearl rosary necklace, although at the time I didn't know that my rosary held Innocence until Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee came to find me and take me back to their HQ.

And that adventure wasn't without its mishaps, like the Akuma that kept attacking us for instance. That was a complete nightmare, I was so afraid and I had no idea what to do. I was so grateful to Allen and Lenalee. But now, I am just so excited and I can't wait until I officially start the new day as an Exorcist.

I am sincerely hoping that I will get an assignment with Yu Kanda…..God, I can't believe I already have a crush on the most stuck up, arrogant, cold hearted male in the Order. The reason I have subconsciously developed a crush on Kanda is because he just vaguely reminds me of Tsukite Matsumoto who was the village hottie, but that was before I left for a new village. I don't care for Tsukite anymore.

I stay awake until my alarm goes off at 7am; I get up, prepare myself and then head down the hall thinking to myself; 'Although I have no chance of getting Kanda, I still hope to catch his eye, or maybe I might date some other guys and see if that will make him jealous, which is highly unlikely from what I have heard. 'But what the heck, it's still worth a shot even if I don't succeed'.

I carefully made my way past Kanda's room (which was conveniently three doors down from mine, heh-heh-heh-heh) and head towards Lenalee's room which was at least seven doors down from mine. Lenalee and I had become instant friends; she was so nice and really friendly. I keep thinking that Allen and Lenalee will make a nice couple, if it weren't for Lenalee's over-protective brother Komui. He was nice although a little annoying sometimes. I met Lenalee outside her room and we walked together to the cafeteria.

"Hey Suki, how are you today?" Lenalee asked smiling.

"Oh, I'm good thanks Lenalee. How are you?" I said in reply with my own smile.

"I'm good thanks, Suki. Now after we have breakfast we need to take you to see Hevlaska to figure out what your innocence does and how well you are synchronised with it."

I looked at Lenalee with a startled expression on my face and asked "Uh, who is 'we' Lenalee? And who is Hevlaska?"

She looked at me with a kind smile and said "Oh Suki, 'we' is my brother Komui, the Supervisor, and myself. And as for who Hevlaska is, well you will find out soon."

I looked at her calmly. I am sure I must have seen Lenalee blushing a little bit for some unknown reason. She sighed suddenly as Allen showed up, before I could ask any questions. They shared a look and then continued to take me to the cafeteria.

I was gobsmacked when we got to the cafeteria. The place was huge, and there were so many people. I just couldn't believe it, especially when I saw Kanda sitting at a table by himself for some reason that was unknown to me.

"Hey, uh, Lenalee I have a question." I said to Lenalee nervously.

"Yeah Suki, what is it?" she replied. "Um, I was, uh, wondering why Kanda is sitting by himself." I said, getting more nervous with each word.

"Oh, I will let you find that out for yourself." She replied with a huge grin and a wink.

I grinned to myself as I already knew the answer to that particular question; I wasn't silly I was one of those people who do their research. Lenalee and Allen went ahead of me and ordered their food from Jerry the HQ's cafeteria chef. When they got their food, I ordered mine. I grabbed my tray of food and made my way over to the table where Kanda was sitting. I sat down next to him and grinned.

"Hi Kanda, I'm Suki Kimura. It's nice to meet you." I said to him still grinning and oblivious to the whispers that were going round the now full cafeteria.

"I already know who you are, now go away before I get mad." He replied with the ever impassive look on his face and a sour note in his voice.

I didn't move and just continued to sit there, my grin getting wider. I stayed silent for the rest of breakfast and ate my own. Kanda got mad alright, I could see it on his face. But I continued to stay in my seat and eat.

When breakfast was over I grabbed my tray in one hand and secretly swiped Kanda's Mugen away. I walked calmly away, the Mugen invisible to Kanda and everyone else except me, Lenalee and Allen. I looked over to where they sat and gave them a wink. Before I met the Lenalee and Komui, Suddenly I heard a yell.

"WHERE THE HELL IS MUGEN! I HAD IT RIGHT NEXT TO ME! WHO TOOK IT! ANSWER ME NOW!"

I made my way back to my room to hide Mugen and then went back to the cafeteria to meet Allen and Lenalee, so I could get prepared for my visit with Hevlaska. I went over to Lenalee and Allen and sat down.

"Hey guys, what is Kanda yelling for?" I said with a secretive smile.

They looked at me and started laughing. All three of us knew what he was yelling for and we all knew what had happened. No sooner had we all burst out laughing than Kanda zeroed in on us, me in particular.

"YOU!" he yelled in my face.

I looked up at him with an innocent look on my face.

"Yes Kanda dear, what about me?" I said in reply still looking calm and innocent with a twinkle of well hidden mischief in my eyes.

"YOU TOOK MUGEN! YOU MUST HAVE SINCE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS BEEN NEAR ME AT ALL TODAY!" He continued yelling at me.

He stopped abruptly on just then realising that I had called him 'dear' which I knew pissed him off more. Before he could ask me anything else, I disappeared from where I was sitting, front of everyone, and reappeared at the cafeteria door.

"Na-na, you can't catch me! And you have to catch me and give me a kiss on the lips if you ever want to see Mugen again." I announced in front of everybody.

Just as I disappeared again, I heard a loud gasp from everybody except for Lenalee and Allen who I could hear laughing really hard among the whispers from the cafeteria.

After about an hour of me appearing and disappearing Lenalee, I were called to Komui's office so we could go to visit Hevlaska for my synchronisation test. We gathered in Komui's office before we went to visit Hevlaska. Much to my amusement Kanda was still glaring at me, while much to his annoyance I was still grinning. Lenalee, Allen and Komui were all smiling slightly due to the fact that Kanda had still not been able to catch me and get his Mugen back. After a quick talk about Hevlaska's new home and the rules, we left and headed to Hevlaska.

We took Komui's private elevator to Hevlaska's place beneath the HQ. The whole time Kanda was glaring at my back. I knew this because I could feel his stare, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end but I didn't mind. I rather enjoyed the attention that I was getting from him actually. Finally we arrived in front of Hevlaska. She was magnificent. She reached out and with one of her many hands and lifted me up. She scanned me for about five to ten minutes before she put me down again and declared me 80% synchronised with my innocence. Everyone on the elevator looked at me in surprise.

I looked at Hevlaska and asked "Hevlaska, what does that mean?"

She looked down at me and smiled, "It means that you are at an average synchronisation rate, Suki. You, my dear, are one of the Exorcists in the Order that has an average synchronisation rate." She replied still smiling.

Komui came over to me and hugged me whispering, "Congratulations Suki", in my ear.

He moved back to the controls and took us back up to the ground floor.

After dinner I went back to my room but when I paused, one door away from Kanda's room; four doors away from mine, Kanda came around the corner. He stopped and looked at me before continuing to walk toward his room.

He paused outside his door and said in a soft voice that was almost menacing "Suki, I request that you give Mugen back to me, I don't want to hurt you."

I looked him in the eye and smiled "Oh, don't worry Kanda dear, you won't hurt me. Like I said before, if you want Mugen back then you have to catch me and kiss me on the lips. But it is obvious that you cannot do that, my love." I said, and just before I could fully disappear I felt a tug on my hand.

I realised that Kanda had grabbed me just as I vanished, before reappearing in my room. As I appeared in my room, I turned just in time to see Kanda appear beside me. We looked at each other then looked away. Kanda looked around my room, which was dark yet elegant. I remembered then that I had cloaked Mugen so nobody would find it. I walked over to Kanda and grabbed his hand, pulling him toward my door.

Carefully I reached down and uncloaked Mugen and said "Here, you managed to catch me. Take Mugen and go."

Kanda turned and looked at me, then at Mugen, then back at me. Kanda then did something unexpected. He let go of my hand and grabbed hold of me, pulling me tight to him in an embrace that was meant to be a hug, I think. I held my breath and lowered my head onto his shoulder. Strangely enough we exhaled at the same time.

We stood facing each other for a long moment before we finally kissed. It was pure bliss and I realised that my dream was coming true. I had softened the most stuck-up, arrogant, cold-hearted male guys' heart, well mostly anyway. I do believe it would take a little bit longer to completely soften him up. After we had stopped I expanded my rosary necklace into the cross-staff and thumped it on the ground which created a giant lotus flower shape on the ground. I stepped away from it and smiled at Yuu

"Yuu, take Mugen and step through the lotus flower; it will take you back to your room so nobody sees you leaving here." I said.

We stood looking at each other for a moment before Kanda picked up Mugen and said "Very smart. And I hope you know Suki that you would do well not to piss me off. I do not want to have to hurt you. And by the way Suki, you are very beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to have you, me included."

He turned and gave me a quick warm smile which suddenly turned cold and his face became impassive again. As soon as he left I changed my mother-of-pearl cross-staff back into its original form as a rosary necklace. The lotus flower shape disappeared and everything went back to normal.

My first day as an Exorcist had ended. I thought it was pretty good actually; I had rather enjoyed my first day. I couldn't wait until I got my first assignment, and when I did, I hoped that I was partnered with Kanda or Lenalee or Allen. Better yet I hoped I would be partnered with all three of them.
