Hello everyone! First off I would like to thank Halley Vanaria and my friend The Dark Door for their lovely reviews!
Today was actually my first day of school, but since the story almost all written already my readers should still expect a new chapter every Tuesday.
Now! Without further delay I give you chapter 2!
"Prepare for examination!" the huge face on the door said before lasers came out of its eyes.
"The fuck!?" Jasmine exclaimed as the lasers swept over her. Alice standing next to her gasped as well, but as soon as the door guard had confirmed they were not Akuma they were rushed inside to meet the branch head.
"You know, I'm not really looking forward to meeting Komui," Alice mumbled out of the side of her mouth.
"Me neither," Jasmine whispered "That guy is crazy as hell."
They continued walking, but Jasmine couldn't help but notice the stupid grin on Alice's face. "Alright, what's so funny?" she whispered.
Her grin widened, "Must make Lenalee macho."
Jasmine burst out laughing as everyone in hall turned to stare at her. Alice raised an eyebrow at the on lookers as no one even cracked a grin. Jasmine stuck her tongue out at them and let Alice drag her after Reever by the wrist.
"Alright ladies, remain out here with the guards while I go in and explain what happened. When you're called in try to be respectful even if the branch head is a little... odd." Reever warned as they finally approached Komui's office.
Once Reever knocked on the door and entered the office the two girls turned to the guards. "Soo..." Alice began, "How are your days going?"
No answer.
"Read any good books lately?"
No answer.
"Any girls in your lives?" Jasmine chimed on.
Still no answer.
Jasmine stuck her tongue out and waved a hand in front of the closest guard's face, but pouted when he still didn't react. "First one to get a reaction wins?" Jasmine asked.
Alice shrugged, "I dunno, but if these guards are any good then things might get a little extreme..."
"Like what?" Jasmine asked.
The gray eyed girl smirked a little, "I could always, ya know, take my top off."
Jasmine was about to reply when she heard one of the guards finally speak, "That, uh, won't be necessary miss." He said with a light blush.
Alice's grin widened and turned back to Jasmine, "I win." she winked.
"Oooh, you sneaky little bitch," Jasmine glared at her, but Alice only bowed.
Before the guards could comment on the situation Reever stuck his head out the door, "You can come in now," he said, and both girls were hurried into a large office.
When inside the girls saw an all too familiar figure sitting at a very familiar desk.
"I think I'm gunna be sick," Alice mumbled, holding back a sudden wave of panic.
"Me too, this is just weird as hell!" Jasmine whispered back.
"Good evening Miss Grey, Miss Wright." Komui said with a smile, getting their attention. "I'm not sure what Reever told you," He gave the other man a meaningful look, "But I think this organization isn't exactly what you think it is."
"Of course not, you're the Black Order," Alice drawled as she crossed her legs and leaned back in the chair she'd been offered. Jasmine stared at her friend, surprised and wondering if she was trying to get them both killed.
"You know about the Black Order?" Komui asked, skeptical.
"Only a little," she shrugged. "We're civilians, not stupid."
Suddenly, boisterous laughter boomed from the back corner of the room. "I like this one!" A red-headed man stomped forward, slapping his hand down on Komui's desk.
"Oh Cross... I forgot you were there," Komui sweat-dropped.
Cross let loose a toothy grin, "Wouldn't a fresh pretty thing like you like to join me for a drink sometime?"
Jasmine pointed at Cross, "This guy's fucking nuts." She said. Many hands in the room went up to cover grins. "She's not even old enough to drink."
"Haha! A lass like that is never too young to drink!"
"Hmm, well yes Cross, but perhaps we should get this whole situation figured out before we make drinking plans." Komui sighed.
Cross looked a little disappointed, "Fine," he shrugged, and Komui picked up some notes.
"So Reever says you're lost?"
"Yup," Alice shrugged.
"And does the word 'Akuma' mean anything to you?"
"Demon in Japanese," Jasmine said helpfully.
"The Millenium Earl," Alice said and the room grew quiet.
"You know about the Millenium Earl? From where and how much?"
Alice tried her best to look nonchalant, "A few people here and there. A story I heard once. He seems to be a kind of boogey-man."
"Boogey-man, huh?" Komui said quietly to himself. "Well ladies it's getting late and we can't do anything about you being lost tonight. If you'll wait outside my office my dear Lenalee will show you around!" He jumped up, hearts forming out of thin air.
Jasmine pulled Alice out of the room behind her as the taller girl stared at the strange hearts. "That's not possible," she said, but suddenly Jasmine punched her in the arm.
"Ow! What the hell was that for!?"
"For whatever the fuck that was in there!" Jasmine whispered furiously, "What do you think you're doing telling him we know about the Earl?"
"Well I had to do something!" Gray eyes flashed. "We had to at least look interesting or they would have just thrown us out on the street! Then what would we have done? Found a nice cardboard box to live in?"
"Whatever," Jasmine glared half-heartedly as they heard footsteps coming down the hall.
"So where can a girl get a shower around here?" Alice asked; a bundle of clothes in her hands. The person that had interrupted the girls' argument had been none other than Miss Lenalee Lee herself. The exorcist had shown them around the huge building, leaving out some of the more war related things than when she had done the same thing for Allen. She had helped them pick out spare pieces of uniforms and was now showing them the room the two friends would share.
Lenalee frowned a little, "Well the showers in the girl's washroom are out after the science department's most recent... experiment, so we've been sharing for the past couple of days. The girls get the showers from five o'clock to seven, there should be towels and soaps in your room." she said with a smile.
"Alright, thanks," Alice said with a smile and shut the door. Jasmine watched as her friend banged her head against the wall, making a gagging sound.
"Come on, she's not that bad," Jasmine laughed.
"No not that bad, but don't you dare tell me you don't want to beat her with a shoe too!" Alice groaned.
Jasmine shook her head and grabbed a towel and some soap off of a chair, "Dumbass."
Alice glared and grabbed the other towel, running after her. They slowly made their way down the hallways until they found the boys bathroom. The showers inside were guy's locker room style and were open without curtains. Chest high walls separated the individual showers from each other, but they could easily be talked over.
"We're baaaack!" Lavi waved, Allen and Kanda in tow.
"Welcome back everyone!" Lenalee greeted. "How was your mission?"
"Long as hell!" he groaned. "Three weeks!"
"I feel like I haven't eaten in days," Allen sighed, petting Tim.
Everyone turned to stare at Kanda, waiting for him to add to the conversation. He grunted and turned down the hall, walking towards his room.
"Yu~! Wait, let's all wash up before dinner!" Lavi called, dragging Allen down the hall after him.
"Wait Lavi! The girl's washroom is...!" but before Lenalee could finish all three boys were down the hall, out of sight.
Lavi and Allen dragged Kanda towards the bathroom. Allen was in the lead, holding his feet and walking backwards. Lavi followed, holding a no-longer-struggling Kanda under the arms. The showers were already running, and as the boys rounded the corner Lavi stopped and unceremoniously dumped Kanda onto the floor.
"Lavi, what-?"
"STRIKE!" Lavi cried, a gush of blood running out of his nose. Allen turned and Kanda propped himself up on an elbow looking into the showers. Two very angry and very nude girls were glaring at them.
The boys had just enough time to notice both girls were very... well endowed before a bar of soap came sailing through the air. It hit Lavi in the head with a loud thonk and another was fast approaching. All three boys, including a flustered Yu Kanda, scrambled towards the door, tripping over each other to get away from the incoming shampoo bottle.
"What the hell was that?" Allen cried when they were safely on the other side of the door.
"Who the hell was that?" Lavi corrected him, still bleeding from the nose.
"They're the new girls," Lenalee huffed. She stood over them, her arms crossed and looking annoyed.
"Oops," Allen said, rubbing the back of his head.
"So... they're staying?" Lavi asked.
Lenalee gave him an exasperated look, "Yes, they'll be staying," she said at last.
"DOUBLE STRIKE!"
And so our dynamic duo finally meet some of the men of the Black Order! Now, I just gotta say that the friend I am writing this with is named Alex, and between Allen, Alice, and Alex I'm surprised we even knew who the hell we were talking about as often as we did. XD
Also, I will not be bashing Lenalee in this fic. She will pop up from time to time, so just keep in mind I actually like Lenalee's character.
Please leave a review and I'll be back with chapter 3 next week! =D
