Lamoon: Hey, so I decided to write this because I really like this stuff. Also the world needs more nekos! I do not own D. Gray-Man. Also there is a lollipop in your left ear. Not the right, but the left.
It had all started out so simply. Obtain the innocence in Egypt and return to headquarters. Of course it was never that easy. After going through painstakingly difficult things just complete his task Allen found that innocence had somehow escaped his grasp. He would be coming home having failed the assignment. A matter sure to make his life even more complicated than it already was with the order looming over him. It had been a solo mission so Allen could blame no one, but himself. Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that besides the missing innocence something else was off. He chose it was best to ignore it at the time. It had now been almost a month and now Allen was sure something was off. Allen noticed that in his first week back from the mission he had been craving fish. He had found himself eating more fish than ever and later craving cream. More things had appeared, but as far as he was concerned it was the most obvious. The one that concerned him the most was the fact that his senses were over alert. His eyes and ears felt strained by every noise and sight.
So today Allen was going to ask Komui about what was happening. As Allen entered Komui's messy office he saw that arrays of bottles were laid across the floor. Allen looked for Komui, but didn't see him. Odd, he was usually here. "Hey, Komui you here?" Allen said delicately avoiding all of the bottles. He found Komui passed out behind the desk. "Lenalee's getting married to a traveling rabbit salesman," Allen whispered in the chief's ear after trying to nudge him awake Komui sprang to life of course at the sound of his sweet innocent sister being married off to some filthy octopus (and it was inappropriate no matter how cute the rabbits were!).
"What! Not my dear Lenalee!" Komui shouted and stopped and became aware of Allen's presence. "Oh, hi Allen what brings you here?"
"Komui I think I might be sick or something," Allen said and Komui gave him a puzzled look.
"Shouldn't you go to the infirmary then?" Komui said adjusting his glasses.
"I would, but I just don't think it's that kind of problem," Allen spoke softly trying to prevent him from getting another headache.
"Then what's the problem?" Komui asked as he took a sip of coffee from a cup that had been sitting on the desk. "This is awful coffee truly dreadful," Komui said as he took another sip apparently still not completely awake. "Yes, absolutely disgusting."
"Well, um, it feels like all of my senses are strained. My body also hurts. It's a lot like growing pains, but I also feel it on my skull," Allen explained to Komui leaving out the part about his sudden craving.
"To be honest Allen I have no idea what's wrong with you," Komui sighed. "I'll look into it and see what I can do. Now run off Allen. I have a lot of work to do." Allen left after being shooed off and sighed. It figured Komui wouldn't be able to tell him anything. Once again Allen's bottomless stomach growled again demanding food. Dango sounded like the perfect antidote for his hunger now. As Allen headed down the long corridors to the kitchen he was hit by an incredibly strong smell of garlic, meat, spices, and other items. Was his nose now trying to act up? Allen greeted Jerry before ordering an incredible amount of dango. As always Allen inhaled the food leaving not even a crumb behind. The sounds of chatter and the overwhelming scents soon brought on a new headache and instead of lingering and enjoying a lively conversation Allen found himself leaving quickly heading to sanctuary of his room.
"Why are people so noisy," Allen sighed and curled up on his bed without him realizing it he found himself drifting to sleep.
"Where am I?" Allen said as he looked at his surroundings. He was on the banks of a river it was dark but when Allen looked up he viewed a solar eclipse.
"You are in my home. My dear, dear, child," a woman with a golden mane that went down to her back wearing the mask of a lioness spoke softly. She was dressed in fine silk, gold necklace imbedded with turquoise, long dangling silver earring that looked like strands of silver thread, gold metal cuffs bore on her wrists highlighting skin that looked so pale and frail even though one could tell just by looking that this women embodied the sun itself, and the height of this women was something all its own. The woman was so long and slim to an unnatural point. She easily towered over Allen and pretty much anyone he had ever met. Yet this strange elongated body that was so imbalanced for a normal human being it did not make her look alien or inhuman. No she was beautiful! The woman approached him slowly and though he could not see her face he knew that this woman was smiling kindly at him. "My child it is good to see you at last," her voice smooth and sweet echoed through the space as she cupped his face with her soft hands. He could tell that the person was smiling with eyes so kind and gentle. 'The eyes of a mother,' Allen thought as she held his face.
"Who are you?" Allen asked cautiously even though he knew the fear was not needed with such a kind woman like this. The woman held him close and Allen without realizing his eyes were beginning to cloud and glaze in a trance.
"I am Bastet, dear child," she cooed to Allen snapping him out of his daze, "it is good to finally see you my dear Mahes."
Allen awoke with a jump as he came back to reality. It was just a dream nothing more. Allen got up and quickly changed clothing. He felt as if had just had a horrid nightmare even knowing it was a beautiful dream. Something to eat would do him good about now. Trotting quickly to the kitchen Allen accidently bumped into to someone running in hard enough to knock them both to the ground.
"Watch where you're going moyashi!" the dark haired samurai who quickly got up said bitterly- well at least more than usual with Kanda though things like that were not easily noticed- to him. Stupid Bakanda! Allen stood up slowly his body ached worse than it had in the month than ever before. Kanda seemed to take notice to this and gave him a scowl. "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm not sure Bakanda! My bodies been sore for a month now," Allen spat at Kanda. "I asked Komui to look into it." Kanda didn't seem to care about of anything said.
The samurai walked off before muttering, "You're acting like a sniveling girl, moyashi." As he look walked off he noticed the odd sharpness of the younger's teeth and he began to question exactly what was wrong with the sprout.
As Allen made his way to the dining hall his head beginning to spin. Making his way down the hall he found himself holding the wall. The world became a flight of stairs to the boy that never ended. Allen felt as he were about to hurl any content his stomach had. He wished very much that the spinning would just stop and leave him in peace. It hurt so much right now like his nerves had been stretched as far as possible and were on the verge of snapping. And they did. Allen fell to the floor unconscious causing an uproar.
"Do you think Allen will be okay?" Lenalee asked.
"I hope so. After all Allen I have a mission coming up soon," Lavi responded as the two looked over the unconscious exorcist. Allen looked so stressed even while asleep at moment and it worried them he was tossing and turning restlessly. It hurts so much! I feel like my head is splitting in two! Allen cried out in his mind. A tearing sensation began to form on his head, his spine felt as if were elongating. His bones felt as if they were bending and breaking and he was unable to stop the feeling. Suddenly it all became silent as if Allen's ears had died in that very moment, yet despite this fact he could feel the panic from the people around him. Terrified Allen began to lash out desperately only to be held down by.
"Lavi, I'm going to get brother you keep him tied down," Lenalee said as she ran off to get Komui.
Lavi held down Allen's arm, "How hard could keeping the sprout down be." At that moment Allen's innocence activated and began clawing out. "Well, I guess it'll be pretty fucking hard." Despite that fact Allen's lashings quieted and Lavi loosened his grip only to have Allen suddenly lash out and dive under a blanket. At that second Komui and Lenalee walked in again.
"What's going on?" Komui said as he looked at Allen buried under the blankets.
"I don't know," Lavi spoke and low growl was hear from under the covers. All heads turned at the sound that was made.
Allen hurt so much his spine felt funny and suddenly everything was so loud and things looked sharp, but it wasn't like before to when Allen when in out this state, no this was a solid feeling. A low growl escaped as he attempted to get out from under the covers, but was hit with blinding light.
"Allen? Are you okay," Lenalee said her voice sounding so loud and booming. Allen let out another growl. 'Go away. Just leave me alone in peace! You're so damn loud,' Allen screamed in his mind.
Komui obviously through with being patient pulled the blanket away revealing a shocking sight. Allen had a white cat tail swishing back and forth, a pair of matching cat ears sat on his head laid back in anger. His shape looked thinner and longer than before, with hands adorned with thin fingers and long claws and a mouth full of sharp canines. What really made you stop and stare was his eyes. While the left was as it should have been except for the dilatation the other was like the eye of a cat. This eye seemed to be moving around rapidly trying to focus. Allen seemed to almost be in a panic.
"Allen calm down please," Komui said his voice booming in Allen's ear he went to cover them but all he felt with smooth skin. Allen panicked more and felt something curl around him looking down he spotted a white tail. Allen panicked even more inside and curled into a ball. "Allen, it's important that you calm down. Something has happened to you," Komui said a bit more quietly than before.
Allen tried to calm down a bit as Komui patted him on the back, "Can you stop yelling then. It's hurting my ears a lot," he spoke so softly his voice sounding a bit deeper than before.
All of them looked at him in confusion Lavi then spoke, "Allen, we're all talking normally. What do you mean?" Allen was surprised by this. How could they not tell that they were yelling?
"Allen tell me how loud do I sound right now," Komui said at almost a whisper.
"You're sound a bit quiet, but I can still hear you," Allen said and Komui was a bit shocked.
"Allen, I want you to close your left eye," Komui instructed and Allen complied, "Tell me is everything sharper than normal?" Allen nodded, "and the other eye is normal right?" Allen nodded at that as well.
"Brother tell me what you did to Allen!?" Lenalee yelled hurting Allen's ears unintentionally.
Komui began to cry, "My sweet Lenalee how could you think that I would do something like this to Allen!" Allen cringed and covered his head to muffle the sound.
"Komui has nothing to do with this," Allen spoke up and was a bit shocked by how the sound of his voice. "I don't know what happened, but I do know that Komui didn't do anything. So for the love of god could you please keep your voices down!" That calmed everyone and Lenalee quickly apologized.
"Allen, you came by my office earlier claiming you felt like you had growing pains on your skull I need to know when exactly they started," Komui said as he felt Allen's ears.
"It started about a month ago when I got back from my mission in Egypt," Allen stated, "Mostly it started out with just craving fish, but I noticed my senses gradually getting sharper and it gave me headaches."
"Egypt, huh?" Lavi mumbled softly, but Allen heard it crystal clear. "I'll look into things and see what I can find."
Allen tried moving only to become dizzy, "Hey, is there a reason why the room is spinning?"
"That is probably because your left eye is completely normal as far as I can tell. Covering up one of your eyes should help," Komui explained trying his hardest to keep quiet and not raise his voice. Allen covered his right eye and attempted to stand again. This time he was relieved not to feel dizzy in the slightest till this problem was solved he would need to wear an eye patch or something. Allen couldn't help but wonder why his left eye was normal. Could it have something to do with the curse?
"Here," Lavi handed Allen one of his spare patches, "You can keep it for now you'll need to rely on it." Allen tied the patch over his right eye (the patch smells like spices and herbs. I wonder is this what Lavi's scent smells like?).
The scent was good and Allen wondered what exactly other people smelled like. Allen focused his nose on Komui he smelled distinctly of coffee grounds, Lenalee she had a honey like smell, and as he expected Lavi did smell of spice.
"Thanks Lavi I'll be sure to use it," Allen said. "Now, Komui you think you can try figuring this out?"
An hour or two of testing to find out what was wrong resulted in Komui making a remarkable discovery, "This is incredible! Allen, your cells seem to be rewriting their DNA to a feline like state. As well as I believe to have found trace essence of foreign innocence in your bloodstream!" Komui exclaimed in amazement.
"Ears Komui! Ears!" Allen said quickly covering his ears.
"Sorry, but seriously this is amazing we have to find out what's causing this condition and why," Komui said, "The easy answer and likely case is innocence, but we sent in finders and other people and none of them were effected. So why are you being effected like this." Allen worried that Komui might become one of the mad scientist experiments.
"I'm going out now. I need to rest and none of your shouting is helping," Allen grumbled as he walked out the room as he walked he felt awkward feeling taller than before. How weird? Allen quickly made is way toward his room door almost shut when a powerful scent hit him, an earthy and flowery smell that made him feel nostalgic, Allen turned around to find the source only to find a fading figure. Allen dismissed it and fell asleep.
As Allen entered sleep his body began to move on its own accord removing the eye patch over his right eye. The body stood up and looked at his body, flexing and stretching his hands, smirking at his appearance. "What an interesting body mother has found for me," he said grinning at how wonderful it was to have a new body. "But, I wonder why this body did not do a full conversion?" Looking over his right eye the figure currently speaking came to a conclusion, "Well done, host you managed to keep yourself from disappearing by casting a spell. No matter either way this body will be mine power of Noah or not, after all they do not call me Mahes "The Lord of the Massacre" for nothing."
Lamoon: Yay! The first chapter is finally done. I'm just gonna say that I had so much fun writing this. Seriously, I got a kick out of researching Egyptian mythology. There were so many cool things to learn. For those thinking why Egyptian?: the answer is, because having neko's due to one of Komui's cracked out experiments is overrated and unoriginal (not to say that they aren't good). So I used the one culture I know had gods that were cats that would work in the D. Gray-Man world. I'll try to make this as historically accurate as possible, but keep in mind that -Man is technically a steampunk anime. Meaning I can make up as much shit as I want. With that said please read, review, and follow!
