Lamoon: I hate being a fanfic writer at times for the reason that I never do my homework because I'm too busy writing my fanfics. Oh, well I love writing for all you people. So apparently I don't own D. Gray-Man (what a shocker!)

Allen was once again back in the dream world he was in before. Allen looked around the river in the distance he now spied the view of temples in the distance. Allen walked the distance to the temple trying to figure out where he was. The gigantic structure was decorated in symbols and impressive feats of sculpture. The entrance was guarded by two loin statues that at a distance he thought were real. The structure seemed familiar, but Allen couldn't remember where he had seen it. Entering the temple Allen nose filled with a pungent nostalgic smell like he smelt in the hallway moments before sleeping. "My boy, I'm so impressed that you've managed to come this far," the voice of the women (Bastet) spoke grasping him into in a hug. "You left me for so long I was beginning to worry you would not return."

"Bastet, what is this place?" Allen asked in trying to brake from her grasp.

"It is our home, Mahes, my temple," Bastet cooed not wishing to release him easily.

'Mahes? She called me that last time too,' Allen thought. The name sounded familiar in a different way as well. "Whose Mahes?" he questioned Bastet wanting to get to the bottom of this.

If Allen could see through her mask he would have sworn he'd upset Bastet. But, this didn't last quickly she recovered and finally let him escape the hug. "I forgot that you aren't Mahes, yet," she sighed, "Come with me." Allen followed her down the hall to a room full of urns (all of which gave off a stronger scent of version of the smell in the hallway, causing Allen to be more relaxed), various colorful throw pillows laid out, a large oriental rug, and various cats. Allen's mind began to feel hazy and he collapsed on one of the throw pillows completely exhausted. Yet, he was unable to fall asleep (maybe because he was in a dream) instead he was lying there with glazed eyes as Bastet gently caressed his hair. Allen barely able to focus watched as a black cat looked at him with almost human like eyes (they looked at him with both pity and fear for what was to come), suddenly everything went back.

Allen awoke much like he did last time, his heart racing and drenched in sweat. He got out of the bed, only to be thwarted by a wave of dizziness, and plopped back down. Allen found the eye patch and covered his right eye. He stretched his arms and legs joyfully. It felt so good to stretch in the morning. "That cat was so weird it looked at me like it was a person," Allen muttered to himself (everything else about the dream was fuzzy, but he could clearly remember the cat) looking in the mirror. "Well at least nekos are cute." His attempt at reassuring himself failing. Allen wondered how he could go outside without drawing too much attention to himself. Putting his exorcist jacket on, he pulled the hood up and curled his tail around his waist. It was hard to walk like this, but Allen put up with it. Eventually he made his way to the cafeteria and was overwhelmed by the stench of all the foods individual aromas mixing to form a foul odor. He was quite tempted to just leave and come back later, but he hadn't eaten yesterday so now his stomach demanded it.

"Allen, what can I get you, sweetie?" Jerry cooed and Allen tried not to cringe at the noise (actually the whole cafeteria was loud). Allen ordered the usual only with even more fish and meat than before. "Allen, I know it's know none of my business but you've been eating a lot of fish lately, most of it raw too, and now you're wearing an eye patch. What's up?"

"Nothing really! I injured my eye so, yeah, and I like raw fish too," Allen exclaimed trying his best not to be too awkward in order to not cause suspicion. He really did not want word of his condition getting around the order. Allen sat down and began to inhale his food rapidly (the sooner he got out of there the sooner he could get away from this stench). Allen decided he'd find private place to train and see how his condition effected his body. The practice room was too public so he took to the woods and found an open clearing in the woods beyond the order's gate. Allen began with some stretching and found that his already limber body was so flexible now he could easily do positions he'd seen in yoga that required the kind of flexibility no man should be able to accomplish (well at least not as easily as he did). Then the childish curiosity that Allen did not show very easily lead him to a single thought: I wonder, if I jumped backwards would I land on my feet? Allen decided to test this theory only to land on his back (apparently he'd missed the memo that cat the righting reflex). Allen then did some kicks and punches, but scrunching his fist like this felt weird. Looking at his hands Allen noticed how when he flexed his fingers claws could be seen from his hands. He'd remembered how cat had retractable claws and started to slash his flexed out hand against the base of a tree. The surface was scratched and he liked the feel on his nails. Allen continued to scratch at the tree till his claws were wonderfully sharp. He then proceeded to activate his innocence to see if anything had changed. After that Allen's mind world went black.

A familiar white mask adorned Allen's face, only unlike how it normally appeared this one was shaped like a lion's face. Claws on both hands, golden arm bands, bare feet, a black thin breastplate, and a fine black skirt with a red belt. Mahes looked at his hand and smiled triumphantly, "My, my, what's this here," he gave a laugh at this, "So it's as I suspected my innocence dominates his. Mother is probably doting on the poor boy. I pity him so much." Mahes began to jump on the tallest tree climbing skillfully with an ability he'd learned after years of practice and peered over the top marveling at the forest view. In the distance he saw the black order standing tall and proud. "These trees aren't like the ones back home. No, they remind me of the trees were those barbaric Norse gods lived." Jumping about in a wonderful mood as he felt the freedom of having a vessel after such a long time (it must have been at least a two of centuries. Two very long centuries).

Lavi sat at desk in the libraries reading a mountain of books about ancient Egypt and the report from Allen's mission. From what he'd found out so far the innocence was found in a temple, originally used as a place of worship for the goddess Bastet as well as her son Mahes, and had disappeared shortly after being recovered. Lavi quickly began to investigate the two gods as much as possible. He'd managed to find a lot of books on mythology, but he could only find snippets of information regarding them. Eventually he came up with this:

Mahes-an Egyptian god also known as 'The Lord of the Massacre', 'Wielder of the Knife', 'The Scarlet Lord', and 'Lord of Slaughter'. Apparently this was a violent god of war. Yet, in spite of these terrifying titles he was also known as 'Avenger of Wrongs', 'Helper of the Wise Ones' and even 'The Kindly One'. The god judged the innocent and the guilty fairly. Mahes was also said to be connected to perfumes. He was a lion like his mother as well.

Bastet- a cat goddess who was both fierce and loving. She like her son was also connected with perfumes. She was often thought of as a protective goddess who guarded women especially. The Egyptian's apparently also had hunting cats (who would have thought?). She was often associated with fertility, the sun, and fire (sometimes the moon). Some even compared her as being the Egyptian equivalent of Artemis. She is said a have a cat or a lioness face.

Lavi was fascinated with his find. The innocence had taken on the form of a small pendant with a single cat drawn on the inside, so whatever the hell that meant he'd have to find out. He'd also have to ask Allen all the specifics and if he'd heard those names before. Lavi closed is book and decided to go look for Allen. After about a half an hour Lavi found traces of where Allen might be. Emphasis on the 'might'. Lavi could only guess to since his clue was that all the trees in a clearing were clawed and he found an exorcist jacket with shedding of white fur on the inside. 'What the hell was Allen doing out here?" he thought to himself. "Allen are you out here?" Lavi shouted thinking that if Allen was anywhere nearby he would hear him.

"Stop being so loud," a familiar voice said from behind. Lavi turned and was shocked by the sprout's appearance.

"Whoa, Allen what's with the get up (more importantly what's with the skirt)?" Lavi asked.

Mahes was a bit startled by this. He didn't really know anything about this body aside from its name. So he dove into the memories all regarding Lavi. 'So Lavi was a bookmen that means he'll have probably learned something about. He's pretty cute too,' Mahes thought to himself. He began to imagine the red head righting under him (after all a god of his stature would never act as the woman. It was below his station). He did his best to take on the persona of Allen and spoke, "I know right! Something about this new innocence is causing my powers to change," Mahes said with some excitement. "I can even walk without wearing an eye-patch!"

Lavi thought that something about Allen was a bit off, but he dismissed it. "That's awesome! Deactivate it okay, I need to ask stuff about your mission," Lavi exclaimed as he grabbed Allen's clawed hand.

"Sure," Mahes said and hesitantly deactivated his innocence, knowing his presence would probably disappear once it occurred it took only minutes. Mahes fell to the ground clutching his chest as he disappeared back to the dark from which he came, in pain.

"Allen are you okay?!" Lavi cried out shaking him violently.

"Lavi, where am I?" Allen spoke up looking around in confusion. His head was spinning for a strange reason. "I was about to use my innocence, but… I can't remember anything after that."

"You mean you seriously can't remember?" Lavi asked in confusion. Allen nodded causing Lavi to wonder what exactly had happened. "Let's get inside. I think I may have some clue as what's going on." Lavi proceeded to tie the patch around Allen's eye. They made their way inside to the desk where Lavi gathered some information. "Allen, I need to know if these names are Mahes or Bastet ringing any bells?"

"Yes," Allen answered. He was about to tell Lavi about his dreams, but suddenly he couldn't remember them at all. It was as if they had been deleted from his mind.

"I've found out that these are the names of two Egyptian cat gods," Lavi told him and laid out a series of symbols. "Did you see any of these on your mission?"

Allen noticed the image of the sun and knifes both of which he'd seen around the pedestal were the innocence sat. "Yes, they were engraved all around the temple mostly near the innocence."

"So the innocence is connected with Mahes most likely," Lavi muttered to himself (of course Allen heard it clearly). "Is something wrong your face looks weird?"

"It's nothing, the room just smells funny. I'll get used to it," Allen grumbled the smell of the ink bothering him. He scooted closer to Lavi wanting to take in Lavi's scent rather than the library's.

Lavi chuckled as Allen leaned closer to him with his mouth slightly open tasting the spiced air surrounding the red head "What are you doing?" Lavi asked.

Allen immediately stopped what he was doing and bolted upright (blushing at his embarrassment). "I'm sorry!" he gasped tail pulling close to himself and ears bending down, "I was trying to take my mind off the smell of the library by using your scent... and I guess I got carried away."

"I don't mind," Lavi beamed and pulled the younger closer into a hug. "Do I really smell good?" Allen nodded his head completely embarrassed and turning the color of beets. "What do I smell like?"

"Kind of like herbs and spices," Allen answered now wishing Lavi would let him go. 'For the love of god, please let me go!' Allen cried in his mind.

I'm making you nervous, aren't I?" Lavi sighed and let Allen go. "Sorry, I should have paid more attention.

"No it's ok," Allen said. Lavi took this as an opportunity and began petting Allen's ears.

Allen went rigid his tail bristling, "You're such a cute kitty, Allen-chan!" Lavi laughed, no longer embarrassing him (now he was just annoyed).

Allen swiped a clawed hand at Lavi, "Stop that!" Lavi continued with this action till Allen's sharp claws scratched his hand. "It serves you right." Lavi wasn't done having his fun yet, and took one of his quills decided to wave the feather tip in Allen's face.

"Does the kitty witty wanna play," Lavi teased continuing to wave it in his face. Allen was seriously annoyed by this.

"Lavi whatever you're trying to do stop it. Your just making yourself look like an idiot," Allen stated and Lavi gave a pout.

"Come on Allen I just wanna have a little fun," Lavi fake whimpered. Allen stood up and left the room. "Hey, where are you going?"

"Somewhere I can take a nap!" Allen said as he left the library. Eventually, Allen was able to find a nice warm place outside to take his nap. He didn't know why, but he was tired. Allen began kneading the grass and curled into a ball. He had found a place a good half a mile away from the order (a small area with a large amount of flowers and a couple of herbs ,like basil, growing in an almost garden like way, except for the fact it looked as if no one had been here in a longtime). The sun fell on Allen making him feel warm and cozy as went to sleep.

The nostalgic scent returned to him and Allen knew he was back in the temple. A soft hand petted Allen soft white hair. "You have returned at last," Bastet sweet voice spoke.

"I know who you are," Allen said and felt Bastet stiffened. "Why do you call me Mahes? He was another god so why do you keep calling me that? Because, I'm sure you know my name is Allen." Bastet was silent refusing to answer him for a long time looking at him sorrowfully. "Why won't you answer me, dammit!?" Allen yelled sitting up and staring at that mask.

Bastet slowly removed her mask revealing her face, eyes still closed. "Look into my eyes," she said as she opened them slowly and he obeyed her (not knowing why). Allen's vision was blinded for a second, Bastet eyes were like the sun she embodied but colorless, he still kept his eyes with hers though. Slowly she brought herself closer and closer till her head was touching his. "Questions are not needed with me. You will no longer ask me such questions. You are Mahes when you are in this place! There is no one named Allen!" her voice boomed throughout the temple, plunging Allen back into the waking world.

Allen woke peacefully from his sleep and stretched his arms. The sun was higher now so he must have slept a few hours. Hearing the snapping of twigs Allen hid behind a tree. 'Why the heck am I hiding?' Allen thought and watched as a person approached the garden.

Kanda entered his garden a watering can, trowel, and bucket in hand. He wasn't wearing his usual uniform, instead he was wearing regular slacks and a loose black shirt. 'Kanda, has a secret garden! This will be the greatest blackmail ever!' Allen thought unable to resist laughing. Kanda began to weed out the garden tossing them in the bucket. It was so amusing, to think the feared exorcist Yu Kanda in his spare time cared for flowers. Allen opened his mouth to taste the air, he caught the scent from his dreams. Allen tried to find were the scent was coming from. To his surprise it seemed to be coming from Kanda. The scent was far better in real life than in his dreams. Kanda's ponytail moved back and forth in a rhythmic pattern, mesmerizing the cat part of Allen brain. 'Must not play with it!' one part of Allen's mind yelled pulling away from the sight. 'But, it looks so fun,' another part said playfully. Allen looked back (it did look fun). 'No way! No matter how fun it may be that's still Kanda (and it would be totally weird). It's not like I'm a cat for real anyway...' the human half said reassuring Allen. Unfortunately his cat brain was making a valid argument, 'But, doesn't he smell really good? I bet his hair will be soft too. You may be mostly human, but when the cat part wants something it'll just stick in mind till you just can't take.' Allen hated to admit it, but it the cat part was right. It was looking so fun and it took all his will not to play with that waving ponytail. 'Besides what's the worst that could happen?' the cat part spoke seductive matter and at he decided,' what the hell, why not!'. Allen silently approached on all fours stalking his prey. Allen leaped at the tail forgetting that he was a bit too big to be doing something like that and landed on Kanda.

A fist collided with Allen's face," Do that again and next time you're dead!" Kanda was clearly angry.

"Sorry!" Allen screeched.

"What the fuck are you doing here moyashi?" Kanda sneered.

"Well I was taking a nap then you showed up and your hair looked so fun to play with..." Allen explained trailing off at the end.

Kanda pulled at Allen ears, "What the fuck are these?"

"Ouch! Would you please let go of my ears!?" Allen shouted.

"The hell? Did you get caught up in one of Komui's experiments?" Kanda said continuing to pull at the appendage.

"No. It's apparently because of innocence," Allen grumbled and pushed Kanda's hand back. "I said 'STOP PULLING MY EARS'!"

"You're a hairy moyashi now," Kanda said grabbing Allen's ears again causing him to hiss at Kanda in agitation. "I wonder…" Kanda reached down and picked a small flower from the garden. "Hey, smell this."

"What?" Allen muttered.

"Just do it," Kanda ordered.

"Fine," Allen muttered and snatched the herb from Kanda's hand took a whiff of it. It smelled really good, too. Allen felt all warm and fuzzy, he began to purr at the scent. Kanda pulled the herb away and watched in muted amusement as Allen tried to get back the plant. He held it high above the sprout's head, watching him try his best to catch it. "Give it back!" Allen shouted lightly panting along with his purr (his face was becoming thoroughly flushed). Allen realized what he was doing and stopped his actions (he refused to be used for Kanda's amusement). "What the fuck is that stuff Bakanda?"

"Catnip," Kanda answered simply.

"Why the fuck do you have catnip?" Allen exclaimed.

"Tea," Kanda said as if it explained everything. He gave his usual che, and gave Allen a glare, "Take this as a warning, moyashi, if you so much as set one foot in my garden again I will fucking cut off your fucking ears and fucking tail, turn them into a fucking coat, fucking skin you alive, wear your fucking skin fucking every fucking day, and fucking dance on your fucking grave!"

"I get it, geez, I won't go in your garden," Allen sighed ears ringing. One day Allen just might find out why Kanda seemed to have a stick eternally stuck up his ass. No, Allen wouldn't return when Kanda was here, but he would for the occasional nap. "I'll leave you to your gardening."

As Allen entered the dreaming world in the evening hour joyfully. Bastet once again awaited him with open arms. This time Allen thought nothing of it when she called him by another name. Just as she had stated 'Allen' did not exist in this world. He was her son and Bastet would fawn over him to her heart's content.

Lamoon: Another day another chapter! This took so long, but it was worth it. I was going to put more on Mahes and Bastet, but I want to keep some of the stuff a secret till later. Also I would just like to say that the Egyptians wrote their gods in such a way that they are meant for a D. Gray-Man fanfic. Now for those wanting to know some cool snippets of information I found:

Catnip- actually has a lot of medicinal properties. It's good for headaches, insomnia, muscle pains, promotes recovering from injuries, a natural sedative, and more. Catnip can be made into a tea, liquor, or it can be smoked. It also has an arousing effects on cats (in other words it's a turn on).

Righting Reflex- The righting reflex is the ability of cats to land on their feet with little or no injury. They can do this more easily than other animals due to their flexible spine and floating collar bone. Cats also use vision and/or their vestibular apparatus to help tell which way to turn. They then can stretch themselves out and relax their muscles. Cats do not always land unharmed. They can break bones or die from excessive falls. (Allen still has an almost human anatomy so he doesn't have the ability to use the righting reflex).

Egyptians and Homosexuality- Not much is known about this topic, but is believed that though it was looked down upon there was no actual punishment. The person on the bottom was usually looked down upon.

I'm not sure why, but I did about 5hrs worth research on this. Oh, well. For those of you not follow/favorite please follow! When you do that it makes me smile :)

Finally if anyone would like to beta this story please tell me, because I fake my grammatical skills. I rely almost solely on Microsoft Word.
