For Ever Lotus
Disclaimer: I do not own D-Grey man ! (but I love it !)
My stomach growled feverishly, "uhhhh" I grumbled. I was tired and fed up, I have been traveling for days trying to make it to the Black Order. I looked up at the huge building in front of me, wow it was even viewable from the town sitting on the Clift.
"I wonder if there's a good place to stay ?" I said looking at Nala my panther, who in turn gave a half hatred growl in reply. I smiled down at her "Good girl" I said patting her large head. I continued walking taking time to stare in to each store the uneasy feeling of all the stares Nala was getting, pinned to the back of my head. As I passed by a small inn I could feel Nala press agents my leg from fatigue. "Fine" I said, ignoring her I walked in to the inn. "Excuse me, do you have any rooms open ?" I asked an elderly woman behind the counter. "oh, ah yes! But we don't…. uh .. allow animals" she said casting a cool look at Nala who was perched beside my leg. I could feel a small spit of annoyance spring in my stomach. " oh, well that's all right I am sure I can find a better inn that allows animals. Have a good evening !" I said with a bitter sweet smile as I continued to leave. "Wait I am sure we can make a small adjustment to the price and every thing will work out just fine" casting a smirk down at Nala I turned to face the women "Perfect !"
I woke to a small ray of sun light that seemed to be defiant to the heavy drapes that hung on the only window. " whyyy " I groaned, Nala moved at the sound of my voice only to lick the entire side of my face. " eww Nala really ?" I said stretching my arms above my head. "I'm gonna shower" I said still half asleep. Giving one last longing look at my bed I made my way to the bath room.
I took an extra-long shower allowing the warm water to relax my body as I let my mind roam. It was amazing I had made it this far. I could feel a small spout of anger curl my stomach it wasn't fair. Why couldn't they have survived !? The rushed thought went through my mind. "No" I said out loud. I could hear the pity filled voice of General Yeeger " it's not your fault" but it was and I knew it. "Hmm" I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower pushing the thought away only to be met with a room of steam. After drying myself and brushing my hair I examined my reflection in the mirror. I have long dark brown almost black hair that falls in waves down my back. Fair skin and green eyes with a dark navy blue ring around them surrounded by thick lashes. I stared at my eyes. They have been compared to many things like fireworks agents the dark sky or to the eyes of an animal. Maybe that's why animals liked me so much.
Opening the door to the bath room I was greeted by the sight of Nala sprawled across the entire bed "nice" I said, as her only response was a huff. Getting dressed I putt on my short black shorts, my tight black thick strap sweet heart tank. My favorite black boots, with some of my white leg warmers scrunched just below my knee. My belt which fit across my waist but had a small pouch that attached to my thigh, perfect for putting things like bandages, a knife or dried food of some sort. Then to top it off I put on the jacket General Yeeger gave to me. It was black with a white going down both sides from my shoulder to wrist then under arm to hip. It had a hood and collar with a split coat tail with the silver order crest over my heart. The general had said it suited me and I had to agree it did, making my look edgy and cute at the same time. "Sweet" I said out loud. Nala and I made our way to the top of the Clift.
Nala and I stood at the base of the huge brick building. "Wow, amazing". Nala moved sniffing what looked like a stone head. Suddenly it yelled "who geos there ! Are you akuma !? Attempt scanning !" and a bright light shot from his eyes. At that Nala sprang forward teeth bared hackles up growling. "ahh attack !" it screamed at us " attack we are under attack !". "Nala !" I yelled over the screaming, calling her to my side. "Innocents activate, twin scythe and chain !" I shouted clapping my hands together and slowly pulling them a part as green glow started to emanate from them. Then out of the air between my hands I grabbed a silver and black scythe and chain. "Nala ready !"
I could feel a watching sensation as if there was someone looking on at Nala and I. There couldn't be any one around I would have sensed it or Nala would have reacted. "Hey shut it you stupid rock !" came a yell out of know where. My eyes scanned the area around me only to fallow Nala's gaze to a bat like thing flying in the air off to the right of the stone head which was still screaming. "a golem ?" but I dint have time to open my mouth again as Nala shoved in to my side pushing me over a few feet from where I had been standing. As I looked up I was met with a katana holding man. He moved so fast I barley saw even Nala had to react, well that doesn't matter. I moved rolling on to the balls of my feet in a crouch. Nala moved to my side "back" I growled, it was all I would have to say for her to back down. This samurai was my prey, I would not hide or run from a threat ever again. Our eyes met with intensity, he move suddenly slashing a cross me. I moved blocking with my chain and ducking under his arm. "First illusion !?" he yelled " Kanda no !" yelled the flying golem. Tossing my scythe I clapped my hands together as if in prayer, pulling them a part fast and yelling "block" I watched his illusion run in to my green wall of energy. I moved throwing myself in to a kart wheel, grabbing on to my scythe. I moved just blocking as he brought his katana straight down towards my head. "KANDA !" the golem yelled as we pushed apart. He moved bringing his katana to his side in a ready position, his eyes an ice cold grey/black cutting in to my green ringed ones.
Nala moved to my right side. A growl escaping her snout. "Nala attach two power switch !" I yelled as she lunged forward towards the right side of the grey/black eyed beast, and I charged at his left. "Switch back !" I yelled suddenly shooting myself in front of him as Nala turned sharp behind. "Good girl" I thought proud of her understanding and quickness in movements. Moving I yelled as I brought the butt end of one scythe in to his stomach enforcing it with my green energy. As I did so Nala lunged her shoulder into his right leg causing the beast to loose balance and fall to the left. He moved though skill fully correcting his balance and bringing his katana to my side which I block. We both moved splitting apart facing each other a wide gap in between. Suddenly I heard a yell "little hammer big hammer grow GrOW GROW !" as I turned to look I saw a red haired boy with a huge hammer ! Slamming it down in between us. The beats and I were pushed apart from the blast of the impact. "STOP KANDA !" the red haired boy yelled, I payed no attention to him but focused on the swords man. The grey/black eyed beast looked at me before moving to a door of light that had only appeared now, the only sound he made was a "che" as he disappeared through it. Turning my eyes to the red haired boy I held out my hand only to feel Nala press her head in to my palm. "good girl"
