This is an alternate ending to the Alma ark where Alma lives. So far couples are Kanda/Alma and MAYBE Allen/Lenalee (I'm sorry if you hate these couples you hater)
This will be updated the same as the manga (maybe twice a month if I'm up to it and not up to my nose in school work. And trust me, I'm pretty tall.) I'm actually supposed to be writing a report AND studying right now but…ya know.
There will be A LOT of Oc's, most of them exorcists. I'm trying not to make them Mary Sue-ish, but it's hard. A lot of shit will be different from the manga, just saying. (Lets just say it's winter or fall because D Gray Man never tells you what month your in, let alone the season.)
...
The Ark was open and both Kanda and Alma were falling into it.
Kanda held Alma, who was cracking as he disintegrated as dark matter, "Hold on tight Alma" he said as they both where falling into the large circular gate that would take them to Mater, and maybe a new future.
Alma said nothing in return and, in concern, Kanda looked down at the dark, cracked form to see his closed eyes crying, probably because he knew his own death was inevitable. In his despair, Kanda also let out a tear as both himself and the crumbling figure of Alma fell into the Ark with a burst of light.
"Goodbye Alma" Kanda said, thinking this was the end.
But something happened, and the light that had burst around the two past-life-lovers seemed to envelope them.
Kanda shivered as cold fingers seemed to touch his back and suddenly he realized that Alma was no longer tight in his arms. Another shiver passed through his body, but this one seemed to calm him, as though he knew Alma was still near. With all of this happening, Kanda didn't know that same calming entity was also causing his conscious to fade.
.
Kanda returned to the waking world with something warm and comforting next to him. It smelled nice and sweet against the moldy and musky stench of the world around him. Slowly his eyes opened and adjusted to the darkness around him.
"I must be in Mater." The young Japanese man thought.
Kanda's eyes wandered the area. There were large, cracked, white columns on either side of him and miles of sand underneath. Then he looked down at the warm figure next to him. He recognized very dark colored hair.
"Alma!" Kanda cried and sat up. It was a little too fast for his body and because of an aching side and his vision going blurry, he just lied back down. But Alma was ALIVE!
Alma was no longer a clump of crumbling Dark Matter. He no longer had the Akuma markings that he had in the recent battle with Kanda. The only marking on Alma body was the long scar across his nose and the tattoo on his chest, symbolizing his regenerative powers had returned.
While he was gapping at the miracle that had occurred right in front of him, a paper-like object fell on his back. Kanda picked the object up and observed it before looking for where the piece came from. He looked up to find the disintegrating ark.
"The gate it collapsing…" Kanda said, his expression changing from joy, to wonder, to worry.
"Bean-sprout…" Kanda muttered with concern.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded close by. It was the sound of Akuma.
"SHIT…!" Kanda panicked, "But…how…!"
Kanda looked at the sleeping Alma and then looked around, "I have to get Alma out of here. I don't think I have to strength to fight, especially not a level 4!"
So Kanda scooped up Alma and ran off behind one of the long fallen pillars that now barely stuck out from the sand. But Kanda never saw the Akuma. He heard the growls of the level 1, the moans of level 2, and the yelling of level 3s. As soon as it started, though, it ended.
Kanda's curiosity got the best of him and he peeked over the pillar both he and Alma were hiding behind. He saw none of the Akuma he was expecting, but he did see something he wasn't. Right in the middle of the barren, sand filled area was a small girl with short mangled orange hair and a shredded red dress.
"Huh, where'd they go?" The small ginger-color haired girl said as soon as she came to the spot both Kanda and Alma were sitting.
Kanda, obviously stunned at the presence of another life at such a remote place, was contemplating on whether or not to show himself to this stranger and risk himself and Alma. He wasn't going to risk Alma, but maybe she could help them.
Then Kanda realized he didn't have Mugen and decided to stay hiding and prayed that the girl would leave. He there for a few moments, sometimes peaking out from the pillar that he was concealed behind to see the girl looking around for them.
After a long time of waiting, Kanda peeked out once more to see the ginger haired girl still there; this time coming towards the pillar he was taking cover behind. Kanda almost mentally panicked when he saw the mangled exorcist insignia on her cloths and it only got worse when he heard the swoosh of a great deal of sand being picked up off the ground.
Kanda instantly stood and ran over to protect Alma and just as he did, the tail of a scorpion-like Akuma went through his chest. He heard a load and shocked gasp before collapsing onto the fallen column he had been using for shelter, but it only trapped him.
The Japanese man watched as the Akuma's virus spread over his body before it was sucked up by his regeneration tattoo. He looked up to see the ginger haired girl protecting him with a spherical shield-like object in front of her. She seemed to quickly defeat the Akuma with relative ease.
Yuu stood up after the young girl was finished with the Akuma. He heard he mumble something, probably in irritation but she looked more tired than anything. That's when an evil laugh sounded.
"So you defeated those wimps!" said the unmistakable voice of a Level 4 Akuma, "Oh, and we even have that once Japanese exorcist that Earl said to catch, PERFECT!"
As soon as it said this, the Level 4 blasted at the two exorcists. Kanda stayed with the still unconscious Alma, risking the shots of a Level 4. Then, once again, the auburn haired girl protected the two once more with her spherical shield. Yuu could hear it cracking under the power of the Level 4's bullets until finally it shattered.
Another gasp escaped the young girl and a look of alarm lit up her face. Then a frown settled in its place.
"LAST RESORT," The girl cried as the energy from her Innocence lit up her form, "FINAL RELEASE!"
And as quick as a snake's strike, the power the Level 4 had used to destroy the girl's Innocence was turned back on it full force. The small white creature succumbed to the blast, but with every bit of fight it had left.
And the girl also succumbed to the blast with great exhaustion. As soon as the power of the Innocence left her body, she collapsed from the column she was standing on to protect the two weak, unarmed exorcists behind it. Quickly, Kanda put his arms out and caught the small girl gently.
Kanda, who was left winded from the speed of things, looked at the sleeping girl in his arms and the sleeping young Asian boy in the sand.
"Great, now I have two inept people to care for." Kanda sighed to himself as he laid the little sunset-haired girl on the ground delicately next to his sleeping friend, Alma, "Now what do I do?"
The Asian man looked around to see a large red bag with gold trim lying in the sand where the small girl in the red dress was looking for Alma and him. He ran down to inspect the duffle-bag to see it was in worn condition, but only a little more faded than the color on the young girls dress.
Kanda dug through it to find all the equipment he needed and began to try and start a fire.
.
Kanda had wrapped himself warmly in a blanket and sat by the fire that had taken him quite a while to make. He had no food and the only source of water was a small stream at the other end of the ghost town.
"This is going to be harder than I thought. Kanda thought as he watched the fire flicker and cast shadows on his companions, "At least I have someone to share my troubles with."
Kanda looked at Alma and smiled a bit. For a second it looked as if Alma smiled back but it was just the shadows playing tricks on Yuu's mind. Still, the Japanese man was happy. Then he looked at the intruder he picked up.
The small girl was still asleep, but alive, hours after the battle. Now all that was left was Yuu and he didn't even have his Innocence to kill any Akuma, and they knew who and where they were not. Kanda knew this could get ugly if Akuma found them now.
As Yuu pondered what to do, he saw a twitch under the ginger haired girls blanket. She sat up soon after, rubbed her eyes and looked around with a tired gaze.
At first, Kanda didn't say anything and just pondered a bit more but the girls' gaze fell on him as though she expected something. So Kanda spoke up.
"Who are you and what do you want."
"I need your help." The girl responded, "You're a second exorcist, right?"
"Yes, but why do you need my help?" Yuu asked, "And what makes you think I'll trust you?"
"Because I saved your lives." The ginger haired girl said with little irritation, "But first let me introduce myself. I'm Esther Dollie."
...
Hope you liked it. You can review if you want. Just so you know, Esther isn't my Marry Sue. I will only use her in D Gray Man fan fiction.
Some food for thought: Alma forcing Yuu to wear a maid outfit. Just think about it and you will blush just a little .. Reminds me of the time Mio wore a maid costume. Why hasn't Hoshino~sensei done this yet!
