How it Started
Lenalee Lee, Allen Walker, and Miranda Lotto trudged through the murky forest. It was almost noon, which meant that the earthquakes that had been happening there would be starting soon. These earthquakes came at the same time every day leading them to believe innocence may be the cause.
They had been following the wreckage of trees; the further you went the more trees that would be on the ground. The exorcists were hoping that the source would be found where the most destruction lie.
The three exorcists panted in the hot heat of the day. They had been hiking for nearly four hours, not to mention they were clothed in black.
"Maybe we should take a break." Allen suggested.
Miranda shook her head. "We should probably keep moving, it's almost noon."
"That's right." Lenalee started, "And we're almost there anyways."
After a few more minutes of trudging through the wreckage of what once was a vast forest, the young exorcists came across their familiar, yet unwelcoming, foes.
The Akuma.
And even worse, a Noah.
Road Kamelot smirked from the top of her flying, pumpkin-head umbrella.
"Do I smell a rat?" The small, gray-skinned, girl said in her sweet, unfitting voice.
Road had only brought mere level one Akuma with her, aside from Lero. Little did the three exorcists know that the upcoming battle would leave a greater impact on them than any previous enemy they'd slain.
Miranda tensed at the sight of the small Noah. She hadn't seen Road since she found out that she was an accommodator, and truth be told, Miranda had hoped to never see her again.
"R-road, what are you doing here?" Miranda asked cautiously.
Content in having scared the girl, Road replied, "The Innocence, what else?"
Immediately the exorcists activated their innocence. It didn't take long for Allen and Lenalee to strike down the Akuma considering they were only level ones.
The confidences of the exorcists were boosted, but things were going to the Noah's plan.
Only a few of the Akuma remained. Lenalee yelled to Allen, "Finish the rest of them off! I'll take care of Road!"
He nodded in reply while Road just smirked. She hadn't expected this to work out so great. Everything was going her way, even more than she had expected.
Lenalee's boots made her fast, but she wasn't quite fast enough. Road was already testing Lero's new "trick" on the dark haired exorcist.
Road's growing grin was the last thing that Lenalee remembered before the flames engulfed her body.
A/N: Well hello there! This is the first time I've written a D. Gray-Man fic, so please forgive me for any mistakes! Thank you for giving this story a chance! Also, please forgive me for any mistakes with the characters as a whole. I haven't finished the series, so please point out anything that is inaccurate or just OOC. I know that I probably shouldn't be writing for this when I haven't finished the series, but I've gotten to a point where this idea has been haunting me so much that I couldn't work on anything else until I started it. I'll warn you now that I've never been one to write long chapters, so expect short snippets if you continue reading! Like I said, thanks for reading, and please point out mistakes on the series, grammar, spelling… any mistakes really. =)
(Sorry for the long A/N today. There was just some things I wanted people to know hehe ^^')
