Disclaimer: i don't own D. Grayman. If i did Allen would be a girl.

Allen stared up at the cliff face. She couldn't believe it. She had gone through FOUR countries that had several deserts, a couple of mountains and she only had one train ride, and now she had to climb a cliff. A FREAKING CLIFF! She loved her master and everything (not!) but this was too much.

Quit complaining, Allen. Move forward, always keep walking. Or climbing as it were. She sighed. Sometimes (read 'all the time') she really hated her master.

-1 hour 32 minutes later-

She pulled up for the last time, and collasped safely on the ground.

"Timcampy, we made it, we made it to the Black Order." she stared up at the building from her back. No wonder master hates it, it looks dirty and we all know something dirty can't be allowed near master, now can it? Allen thought slightly sarcastic.

She groaned and started walking. She hoped they had an extra bed cause she was tired. Allen walked up to the gate and looked around. Where were the guards?

"Hello? Anyone home? My name is Allen Walker here by referral from General Cross? She waited for a few moments and when no answer came she turned to leave. Master is going to be mad.

"Take physical quiz with the gatekeeper." said a voice from seemingly nowhere. The Gatekeeper? Who-? A bright yellow light blinded her for a moment. It seemed to have come from the statue and it was x-raying her. Suddenly the statue started to sob and cry.

He fails! I see the pentacle! He could be Akuma!" it wailed. Allen had the urge to cover her ears when what it said sank in.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" I roared over the statue "DID YOU JUST CALL ME A HE? I'M A GIRL, AND IF I'M AN AKUMA SO IS SWORD MANIAC ON THE ROOF!" by the time she was done, the statue was silent and I was panting. I heard a whoosh and a thud as the said maniac landed in front of her.

"You have some nerve coming here by yourself, and then calling me a maniac." This man , there was no way she'd call him boy, was at least 6'5 with dark blue hair in a higt ponytail blue almost black eyes and currently had bandages wrapped around his chest with an exorcist coat on. She decided she was done looking him over.

"Well if I was an akuma, yes I would have some nerve coming here alone, and from where I was standing you did look like a sword carrying lunatic. I almost called you a girl cause of your hair then I saw your chest." he looked taken aback for a moment before he covered it up. I doubt many had said something like that cause of his sword or something so blunt, but if there was one thing I got from master is that I say what I'm thinking without worrying about the consequences.

"Well I'll find out if your an Akuma when I cut open your insides." he growled. Oops, i touched a soft spot. Hehe. He launched himself at me. This was good I havent had a sparring lesson for awhile. But I had an advantage. While we'd been conversing I'd been preparing for this.

I jumped over his head just as he swung at my stomach. I landed in a crouch and spun around doing a back handspring and ended up with my back pressed against the statue with the sword maniac charging at me. I had a few knives strapped on me but I had one sword and if I was honest it was my pride and joy. He was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen when i walked by the shop. But back to the lunatic charging at me. I could activate my Anti weapon but h;d cut I brought out Jin. It had a pure silver handle and a blade the color of an onyx gem. It was not too thick, but thin enough to hide under my shirt. I brought it up just as he brought his down.

I looked up at his shocked face and grinned. Jin was my baby, I had even hid him from Master Cross cause I knew he'd sell it if he saw the pure silver on it.

I pushed my hand up and shoved the blade away. I rushed forward and I swung Jin at his head but he blocked it and thrusted his back. I spun around and did several back hand springs but in the process my whit hair had fallen out of its pins cascading around my shoulder.

"There should be a referral letter to a guy named Komui? Have you gotten it?" The maniac froze just as our blades met and metal screeched against metal. our faces were inches apart that we could feel the others' breath on our face. We locked eyes not willing to back down. I applied more pressure and he did the same. As we waited, I got bored.

"This is boring." he looked at me as if saying no duh. I ignored it and continued. "Wanna try and maim each other while we wait?" He looked at me for a second as if i had two head. After a few seconds i got impatient. "So?" he started.

"You were serious?" He said in disbelief. He thought I had been joking. As an answer I shoved his blade aside and tried to stab him in the gut. He jumped back and came at me I blocked and swung this time at his head. He spun and tried to stab me in the ribs and almost got me, but now I have a gash on my side. I gasped. He smirked thinking he had me. Oh if he knew the pain I went as Master's apprentice he wouldn't think so. I pushed the pain aside and then I dived forward rolling to stand and and twirled around just in time to block a blow to my throat. I parried and then we locked swords again we were so close that I was seeing 4 eyes instead of two. We were about to spin away when we heard panicked shouting coming from what looked like the maniac's golem.

"Kanda, stop! I found the letter!You hear me stop the attack!" some high pitched voice that sounded male but was way to high to tell.

"Eh, Kanda?" I asked. He looked back at me with a blank stare. "Was that a woman or a dude, cause i think it was a man but it was really too high pitched to tell? I saw slight amusement flit through his eyes as laughter erupted from his golem along with an outraged yell.

"Open the gates!" the voice said. The gates opened.

"We let go on three?" He nodded.

"3...2...1." i counted. We jumped back just as a clip board went through the place where Kanda's head had been. We looked at the sheepish green haired girl beside us.

"Hi, I'm Lenalee." She stuck her hand out. I looked at her hand, uncomfortable. I don't shake hands. In fact I rarely let people touch and if I do it's cause i really trust them. I looked back at her to see a confused looked on her face,

"He, sorry, I don't I don't like people touching me." I grimaced at the memory of the last person to touch me. He was in the hospital for two weeks. What can I say I overreacted.

She put her hand down uncertainly, while Kanda just Hn' and walked through the gate.

"Rigth, um, come this way and I'll show you the way to your room before you go to the medical wing." She said

"The medical wing? What for?" She looked at me oddly.

"Allen you have a 5 inch gash on your side." she stated as if I should have known. To be honest I had forgotten. And I told her so.

She laughed nervously and started to guide me through the hall. What's her deal?

The residents of the black order that were sitting around the camera gaped. She had forgotten a 5 inch gash in her side. This girl was had shrugged it off as if it was nothing. A normal girl would collapse. They shuddered when they thought about what pain she must have suffered for her to do that.

Kanda stalked to his room, scowling at people in the hallway. On the inside he was fighting back his emotions. The girl had kept up with Mugen no problem had even given him a few scratches. The thing that got him though is she did it with no effort and did'nt seem to think that it was strange. and if he was honest with himself he would say that was very attractive. But that was ridiculous he didn't think girls were attractive. Jerry must have put something in his noodles, he concluded.

Please review! And if you could give me some new ideas at the end of every chapter, otherwise i may lose inspiration.
