(A/n Hey guys it's me! I know I have a lot of unfinished stories out right now-taking a break from most of my One Piece ones in case if any readers from there are here-but they will get updated and finished eventually! But since I've been wanting to post this and already have five chapters written here it is!
Some Things to Know
This is noncanon and it's pre-Hallow. The Noah have been made aware of but they probably won't show up that much until later. And the 14th and all the jazz probably won't be included if there's anyone wondering.
Hopefully you'll like it! If you want a character profile of the OC let me know! Onto the story!
Disclaimer- I don't own D. Gray Man, only my characters)
The wind buffeted against me causing me to tighten my grip. Slowly I opened my eyes.
"What the-"
Panic flared in me as I saw the jagged rock I was holding onto. Beneath me was at least a hundred foot drop, water surrounded wherever I was and it didn't look welcoming. I looked up, my caramel eyes searching for the top of this climb. It wasn't far, but it wasn't near either.
Each time I pulled myself up I grew tired, my fingers ached almost like they were raw. But the top was just there, I couldn't stop now. With a huff I stretched, reaching towards the grassy area that was the peak.
My teeth gritted together as I pulled myself up and over the edge, taking a fistful of dirt as I did. My chest heaved painfully taking in air as I laid on the earth. When I'd caught my breath, I pushed myself to my feet.
Confusion came over me as I looked at the thing in front of me. It looked like a face, but it was huge and gray.
"And who might you be? How did you get up here?" The lips on the face moved, and out followed a booming voice.
I took a step back startled. This thing just talked. I chuckled nervously then said, "You...spoke." The thing was silent for a few seconds before it said again,
"X-Ray Examination, Determining Whether Subject Is Akuma Or Human."
I winced as lights shone from it's eyes right on me. It went on for a few seconds until it locked on to something then everything went to hell.
The face's eyes rolled back in a frenzy and it shouted, "NOOOOPPPEEE! SHE'S GOT THE EARL'S SYMBOL ON HER CHEST!"
My chest?...
I glanced down at what I was wearing. It was a black t-shirt, on it an upside down star. Sensing something was wrong, I tried to calm the guy down, "Hey I'm not going to harm you," I began in a soft voice but it only made it worse.
"S-Stay back!" The thing cried out.
I bit my lip stopping in my tracks. Figuring there was nothing here for me, I walked back over towards the cliff face. I could climb down but then where would I go from there? The ocean went on for miles.
"Hey, you." A different more offensive voice made me flip around. Before me were two men. The appearance of them seemed to have quieted the talking face. The one who'd addressed me had long blue colored hair that was tied back. He held a katana in front of him and glared at me with serious eyes.
The other was shorter than the first. His hair was pure white, his eyes looked to be of a purplish color. The thing that caught my attention although, was the scar on the left side of his face. That boy seemed all too familiar to me...that fact that I couldn't remember why was annoying.
The blue haired one scoffed and raised his katana as he prepared to fight, "You got guts coming here."
The shorter one rolled his shoulders then said jokingly, "Don't kill it so fast, it'd be pointless for me coming if you did."
"...Wait, what are you-" I began to say but was cut off as I dodged an attack. The katana wielder had appeared in front of me in the blink of an eye; my mind had barely registered that a blade was coming at me in time for me to get out of the way.
The katana guy tsked and stopped moving. This time the white haired one began running towards me, the boy mumbled a few words and then something strange happened to his arm. A green light surrounded it and it morphed into a white claw.
My mouth drifted open and I froze at the sight. What exactly the hell is going on here? Before I could get another thought in, the white haired boy raised his claw above me, and brought it down.
My caramel eyes were wide in terror for I thought this was the end. The claw was centimeters away from my nose and I prepared for the pain as it ripped into my skin. The claws brushed my face and the skin split, blood trailed down my cheeks and I shrunk away as pain spread like fire. A flicker of confusion grew on Moyashi's face and I noticed him falter for a second, seeing this as an opportunity, I curled my hand into a fist and flung it forward into the boy's gut. This produced a successful grunt of pain and I turned away heading in a different direction.
Blood blinded my eyesight and panic flooded me as the chance's of my escape seemed slimmer by the second. Someone suddenly gripped my shoulder jerking me to a stop. Time seemed to slow as I was forced to turn back around. Moyashi was there although he wasn't attacking, he looked like he was about to ask a question but I wouldn't give him the chance. Just as I was about to pry off his fingers a voice shouted,
"ALLEN KNOCK IT OFF SHE'S HUMAN!"
At the woman's voice both Moyashi and Katana guy straightened their backs and flipped around. "L-Lenalee?" Moyashi stuttered. "What are you doing here?"
Lenalee began marching in our direction, a sense of relief came over me seeing how she just stopped the two boy's attack. The green haired girl stopped in front of Moyashi and poked him harshly in the chest saying, "I'm here stop stop you two idiots from killing someone! I can understand Kanda but I'd think you'd have realized by now."
Lenalee looked over at me whom had been standing awkwardly this whole time, not sure if I should make my escape or wait and see how this plays out. The girl gave me a warm smile and said, "I'm Lenalee, I'm really sorry about my two friends. But they're actually not bad people. Here-" She held out her hand, "Let's get you cleaned up.
I looked at the hand skeptically. She was nice enough, but she was on the side that'd just tried to kill me for no apparent reason. Before I could voice my answer, Katana guy said irritatedly,
"But then why'd the Gatekeeper say she was an Akuma if she was human?"
Lenalee turned back around to face her friend, "Perfectly good explanation! When I was watching through the golem I noticed that the pentagram was just on her shirt. Adding to that she wasn't fighting back. I thought something was off so I came out and while you two buffoons were fighting I had the Gatekeeper reexamine her. Turns out she was human."
"Oi Lenalee...It's not our fault but more of the Gatekeepers…" Moyashi mumbled under his breath. But he soon received a glare from Lenalee and knew what he had to do. The boy rubbed the back of his neck and gave me and apologetic smile saying, "I'm sorry for attacking you, the guy behind me is too but knowing him he's not gonna apologize."
"Moyas-"
"Anyways, I'm Allen." His expression became one of concern as he observed my face, "Lenalee you should really get her looked at. She's bleeding a lot."
Lenalee took ahold of my hand and began to lead me towards the gates, calling over her shoulder, "No thanks to you two! Oh and Komui wants to see you guys!"
It was silent as we entered the building. I noticed some people in the halls stopped to stare at us as we passed. Or more like me, I was a mess. My clothes were no doubt ragged and had clumps of dirt in them. My brown hair was most likely full of knots, my face was bloody and had two claw marks on them-the pain had faded to a dull throbbing. But I didn't really care about my appearance right now. I did care about finding out what the hell was happening. I'd go along with Lenalee until I could.
We arrived at the door to a large elevator and Lenalee said, "We're at floor six now, the Medical Ward is at floor two. Does it hurt a lot? Sorry for taking-"
"It's fine, it's doesn't hurt as much anymore." I cut her off and gave a reassuring smile. Lenalee seemed relieved at this.
By now they'd entered the elevator and Lenalee jabbed the button labeled 2. There was another woman wearing a white coat with us-I assumed she was a scientist. As I huddled in a corner, her and Lenalee exchanged hushed words before a ding echoed in the elevator and it came to a stop.
"We're here! Let's go!" Lenalee said as she gently took ahold of my hand and led me down a hall once again. It took us a mere three minutes before we had entered a room. White beds lined the room and pale blue curtains hung in between.
"Head Nurse-sama! I have a patient!" At Lenalee's words an aged woman poked her head out from behind one of the curtains.
"Lenalee! What brings-" Our eyes met and the Head Nurse took a step back. "Dear God what happened to you? Your face is covered in blood! I'll get you cleaned up right now, come over here." I glanced at Lenalee gave me a slight push on the back while chuckling. I couldn't see this as a funny matter although.
I took a seat on one of the beds and the Head Nurse began to apply some antibiotics to the cuts, at the same time washing away the blood.
"What happened?" The Head Nurse questioned.
"The Gatekeeper mistook her for an Akuma so Allen and Kanda attacked." Lenalee explained.
The older woman scoffed incredulously and gestured at my face, "So this was the work of young Allen? He better be thankful it won't leave any scars. Let me see your hands," As I raised my battered palms the Nurse gave Lenalee a sharp look. "She didn't climb up the side of the Order did she? You do know we have boats that you can use to enter from the water?"
I furrowed my brows, confused as to why she was telling me this.
"About that…" Lenalee began, "She isn't an Exorcist."
"What? Then why is she here?"
I looked at Lenalee, the girl seemed to be having a hard time finding the right words as spoke. "The golems or sensors didn't pick her up until she'd already made it to the Gatekeeper. No knows how she showed up, it's as if she just appeared out of nowhere."
The Head Nurse placed a hand on her chin and seemed deep in thought. Then a grave expression came onto her face. I watched as the woman leaned towards Lenalee and 'whispered', "Is it possible...she's a Noah?"
The words froze Lenalee for a few seconds. She gulped then replied, "Impossible, the Gatekeeper scanned her twice."
That didn't seem to reassure the Nurse at all. The pair put some distance between each other and the Nurse observed her work. She'd wrapped bandages around my calloused palms. I currently had bandages and gauze stuck to the cuts on my face that were secured with tape.
Absentmindedly I ran my fingers along with white bandages stuck to my face. "Thank you." I mumbled.
The Nurse smiled at me and said, "So you can speak after all. Do you think you could tell us your name?" I shook my head no. This seemed to annoy the Nurse. The woman folded her arms and tried to say in the most gentle tone she could muster, "You're not in any danger here. I can promise you what happened earlier won't happen again. Now, your name please?"
Lenalee laid a hand on the Head Nurse's shoulder and kneeled down so we were eye-to-eye. "It'd be really helpful if we had your name. We have some enemies out there and we just have to confirm that you're not one of them."
I raised my brows, how should I put this? I met Lenalee's gaze and said, "I can't answer because I don't know. I don't know who I am or where I am."
Lenalee's mouth drifted open in surprise and she and the Head Nurse shared a glance. The green haired girl massaged her temples then muttered, "You...seriously. An amnesiac in a situation like this, how can my day get any better?"
(A/n Concerning how the Gatekeeper thought she was an Akuma-the pentagram on her shirt. I originally was gonna have this story be about an OC from "reality" end up in the world of D. Gray Man without her memories. But I changed the plot to be ~spoilers~ so hopefully it works out when I write it in later chapters :)
Thanks for reading! Until next time!)
