Ayane-san: New story everyone! This time, we're going to start on the D. Gray-Man series! Please review!
Kanda: Che, so you finally start on it after 2 months, good-for-nothing.
Ayane-san: *WHACK* Commit seppuku already, you out-dated samurai.
Saaya: I'll be back from school in one week, BaKanda, so stop complaining.
Kanda: ...I'M KANDA!
It was peaceful day at the Black Order. There weren't any Akuma or Innocence sightings lately, so the Exorcist, Finders, and scientist have taken a few days off of work. Walking down the almost quiet hallways of the Order, Allen Walker was heading to the cafeteria to grab a bite (well maybe more than just a bite) to eat after some long hours of training. When he arrived, the cafeteria was as noisy and crowded as ever. Since not a lot of Exorcist and Finder are being sent on missions lately, the cafeteria was becoming quite busy and it's hard to get food with the long lines forming near the window in which Jerry took their food orders. As Allen was heading towards the long line, a certain red headed Exorcist pounced onto him, who was no other than Lavi.
"Morning! Moyashi~" Lavi said in a cheery voice.
"It's Allen!" He yelled backwith an annoyed look.
Honestly, wherever he went he was always called a Moyashi*. Usually, Allen can tolerate his 'nickname' coming from BaKanda, however, when everybody else in (probably the whole entire world) started calling him that, he got as annoyed as Kanda being bugged by Lavi 24/7. It was always 'Moyashi this' and 'Moyashi that', damn it did almost anyone even bother to remember his name?
"Oh come on, Allen," Lavi said while scruffing Allen's snow white hair. "It was only a joke, and besides it's not our fault because you're so short and that we think of you as a Moyashi," Lavi gestured.
"It was annoying when BaKanda started calling me that, but does anyone even try to call me by my real birth name anymore?" Allen shouted, looking as pissed as hell.
"Well, like I said, it's because you look short," Lavi said as-a-matter-of-fact. "But…if you weren't short, I think people might respect you and call you by your name. And just maybe, you can prove Yuu-chan* wrong and become superior to him," he said as an idea popped into his usagi* brain.
"You think?" Allen asked, unsure about his friend's theory.
"Of course, since you're kinda short, people kind of look down on you and think that they're superior in size than you. Something kinda like a Sempai* and Kohai* relationship," Lavi said grinning. "That's why, we have to make you taller so people can respect you and not call you a Moyashi, you get me?" He said with a smile across his face.
"For once Lavi, I think you might be actually on to something," Allen said with a dumbfounded expression from Lavi's statement just now.
"Hey! What do you mean 'for once'?" Lavi cried with a mock hurt face.
"Nothing," Allen gestured. "So do you have a plan on how to make me grow?" He asked.
"Well normally it'll take years and hard work to make you grow taller, but indeed, I have many ways on making you grow in a short span of time, Allen, my friend," Lavi said knowingly as he put his arm around Allen's shoulders.
"I sure hope you know what your doing, Lavi." Allen said in a weary tone.
"Of course I know what I'm doing, you're looking at the next Bookman, what could possibly go wrong?" Lavi said with a bit of amusement as he shrugged off the idea of the things that could go wrong in his plan
What Allen did not know at the time, was that almost everything could go wrong when it's Lavi helping you. And so Allen's Spartan growth training began
Translator Notes:
Usagi = Japanese for Rabbit.
Sempai = Refers to an upperclassman or someone in a higher status than you.
Kohai = Refers to a lower classman or someone in a lower status than you.
Moyashi = Japanese for Bean Sprout.
Yuu-chan = The honorific, chan, is usually used to express endearment mostly towards girls. It gives a sense of childish cuteness. The name, Yuu, is Kanda's first name because of the order of Japanese names. Although, he really hates it when someone calls him by his first name.
Ayane-san: Thank you for reading and please review!

Ayane-san: You never know unless you try!
Saaya: Yea! My grandma's been overfeeding me and I grew two centimeters!
Kanda: ...You're still a kid.
Saaya: Allen's taller than me! He's getting old!
Allen: Did I hear someone say my name?
