AN: okay, so this idea came to me in a dream, and I decided to expand it into a fic. Etsu-chan comes in around when Allen and Lenalee have the rewinding town mission. The fic will somewhat follow the plot, but I will be adding onto it.

Enjoy~ and please review! I would love to know what you think!

Dream One: First Meeting

"So, this must be the Black Order." I looked around. I had climbed a HUGE mountain just to get here. I held onto my hood. There was a lot of wind around here. "Hello?" I called.

"Open up the gates, she's not an Akuma! I would be able to tell!"

"But she could be an ally of the Earl!"

"Nii-san! Listen to Allen-kun! His eye would be able to tell!"
"Not you too, Lenalee!"

I listened to a conversation going on through the intercom. "Hello…? I can hear you guys, just so you know."

There was a bunch of muffled whispering.

Then someone cleared their throat. "State your business."

"I'm here to see someone named Komui Lee. General Cross Marian told me to come here. He sent a letter." I awaited their answer.

"Nii-san!"

"Head Chief Komui!"

"Let's find the letter!"

"Ah! I found it!"

"Read it!"

"'Dear Komui, I'm sending a possible accommodator for innocence, her name is Etsu. Watch out for her'."

"Komui-san! She's had contact with Master!"

"Come in, come in."

I sweat dropped. General Cross isn't the most reliable person. I sighed and walked through the open gate.

A white haired boy was running towards me. A familiar yellow golem was flying next to him.

"Ah! Timcanpy!" I squealed. He landed in my hand. "It's been a while! "

Timcanpy flapped his wings and seemed to blush.

"Eh? You know Tim too?"

I smiled at the boy. "Yes, I do. I'm Etsu."

He smiled. "Allen Walker." He extended his hand.

I took it. "Pleased to meet you." His hand was a reddish color. "Your hand, is it innocence?"

Allen-kun looked surprised at me. "Why, yes it is. How did you know?"

I put a finger on my lips. "It's a secret."

He escorted me in.

"Sorry about earlier." A blue headed man wearing a white uniform smiled, holding a light blue coffee cup with a pink bunny on it. "I'm Komui, Head Supervisor. Well, then, first things first. We need to go see Hevlaska."

I followed him to the elevator. "Marian-oniichan said that I could be a possible accommodator for innocence located within Hevlaska."

"Oniichan?" Komui asked.

I nodded. "He's not my real oniichan, but he can act like it."

We arrived at our destination. "Hevlaska, General Cross referred us a possible accommodator for innocence, is she?" Komui gestured to me.

"Etsu." I said. "My name is Etsu."

Hevlaska picked me up. She poked inside my body. "She is an accommodator. The innocence is responding to her."

"Yes!" I smiled. "Marian -oniichan was right!"

"I'll get her weapon made immediately, Hevlaska." Komui-san took my destined innocence from Hevlaska.

"Welcome to the Black Order, Etsu."

"Arigato!" I smiled.

"In the meantime, get to know everyone here. Your weapon will take a few days to make." Komui-san had told me.

"Hai, Komui-san!" I skipped off to find Allen-kun. "ALLEN-KUN!"

I ran to where I thought the dinning hall might be. I fell on the ground. "Ow!" Someone had bumped into me.

"So sorry!"

"BAKA USAGI!"

I blinked. The person who bumped into me was a boy. He had red hair, a green headband that held it up and an eye patch. He was wearing a black uniform that I assumed was the Exorcist's uniform, white pants and an orange scarf.

"Sorry, I'm kind of in a hurry!" He rushed to get away.

I held on to his scarf. "It's rude to hit and run, you know."

He chuckled. "This is an exception! I really, really have to go!"

"BAKA USAGI!" A male with long blue hair, waving a sword came towards us. "You'll pay!" He glared at the red head.

"Yu! It wasn't me this time! Honest!" The red head struggled to get out of my grasp.

"Che. Why do I not believe you?" He put the sword on the red head's neck.

"Temper, temper. You shouldn't go around threatening people's lives." I tsked.

"Who are you?" He glared at me.

"Etsu, I'm the newest exorcist here." I informed him as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Really? You look more like an obedient stray cat."

That flared my temper. "Watch what you say, baka. You don't know who you're getting into a fight with."

He smirked. "I see you know my language."

"Nihongo jin desu, baka. (I'm Japanese, idiot)" I glared at him.

"What's a stray usagi doing here, anyways?"

"Why do you want to know, baka neko?" I folded my arms. "It really doesn't concern you."

"Oh, she got you good, Yu!" The red head laughed.

"Where's Marian -oniichan? He said he would meet me at the Order." I looked at the two males in front of me.

"General Cross Marian? He hasn't been here since…a couple years." The red head answered.
I pouted. "He will hear from me. Then, where can I find Allen Walker?"

"Moyashi? Why would you care? Komui sent him on a mission with Lenalee." Baka neko replied.

"Now what?" I whined. I smelled something good. "That smells good!"
"Jerry's the best cook the Order has!" The red head grinned. "Do you want to go see?"

"I'd love to! Come on red head!" I tugged him along.

We entered the dinning hall. "Who's this?" Jerry, the cook asked with a smile.

"I'm Etsu!" I smiled.

"She's the exorcist Cross sent over."

Jerry-san smiled. "What can I get you?"

"Do you have Udon?" I asked. (Udon is a type of noodles, very yummy!)

"Yup! Here you are!" Jerry-san put the bowl of udon in front of me.

"Arigato! Itadakimatsu!" I quickly ate the whole thing. "That was so yummy!"

"Ne…E-chan, how do you know Cross? Name's Lavi Bookman, just so you know." Lavi walked me over to an empty table.

"Well, I met Marian -oniichan when I was three." I sucked in a breath. "Do you want to know something?"

"What?" He looked at me.

"I'm an orphan." I whispered.

Lavi-kun looked at me sadly. "Oh, I'm sorry."

I nodded. "My parents were killed by an akuma and just when I was about to get killed, Marian -oniichan showed up."

"He saved you?"

"Yes. I lived with him for a couple years. He had a lot of debts but I easily killed those." I smiled.

Lavi-kun sweat dropped. "How did you?"

"Well, I was quite small and cute, so Marian -oniichan used my cute looks to escape. I would pretend to be sickly and that's how he escaped every single time." I laughed.

"…How interesting…" Lavi-kun chuckled nervously.

I sighed. "A lot sure has happened." I looked at him. "You won't tell anyone else, will you?"

"No, your secret is safe with me." He smiled.

I blushed a bit. "Arigato. Thank you for listening to me."

"No problem. Ah shoot, Panda-jiji's looking for me." He stood up. "I got to go."

"Run, Lavi-kun." I laughed.

My mind began to wander back to the days I lived with Marian-oniichan.

~Flashback, ten years ago~

"Oniichan!" I pulled on his uniform.

"What is it, Etsu?" He took a drink of wine.

"Pick me up!" I smiled.

"No." He replied coldly.

I began to tear up. "Oniichan, you're so mean!"

"Don't cry! Fine..." He sighed.

"Timcanpy!" I called. He landed on my head.

"Etsu, would you like to become an exorcist?"

"Hai! Then I could defeat all the akuma!" I hugged him.

"Really, now? How would you?"

"With innocence! Sometimes, when there's an akuma around, I can hear something calling to me." I put his hat on.

"You're going to become really beautiful, Etsu. You'll make a pretty damn good exorcist."

I laughed.

~End flashback~

I woke up from my nap. I sighed.

"Lenalee! Where are you?"

It was Komui-san's voice. I went to go see what was going on.

I saw most of the Science Department laying through the sea of papers in defeat. "Komui-san? What's the matter?" I asked.

"Lenalee?"

"Chief Komui, she's away on a mission with Allen, remember?"

"I need my coffee! Only Lenalee knows how to make it right!" Komui-san wailed.

"Can I try?" I asked. I went to the table where all the coffee stuff was. I quickly began to make a big batch of coffee. "Here." I offered him his cup.

He tried it. "It's not Lenalee's, but it still tastes good."

"I'll have some. You're the new exorcist that General Cross sent, right? I'm Reever." He took a cup of coffee.

"Etsu. Who else wants some?" I asked.

There were mumbles. I gave each one of them a cup of coffee.

"Etsu-san!"

Some of the Science Department came up to me.

"Hai?" I turned to them.

"We need to get you measured for an Exorcist's uniform!"

"Johnny, is that necessary?" Reever-san asked.

I looked at them. "How come?"

"A uniform like Lenalee's just wouldn't suit you." Johnny smiled.

"Skirt? I hate skirts and dresses." I said, strained.

"Exactly, so we need to measure you for a new uniform!" Johnny took out a tape measure.

"Hai, hai." I stood up. "So, when will I be able to fight?"

"As soon as we finish your weapon." Reever-san explained.

"Do many of the exorcists come back here?" I sat on the table and swung my legs, after Johnny had taken my measurements.

"Most of them consider the Order home. Although some don't come back." Reever-san sat down in a chair and looked at papers.

"That's definitely Marian -oniichan." I sweat dropped. "Home, huh. I wonder if I'll call this place home."

"Most likely."

"I'm home." I whispered softly.
