NAW: Okay, so, anyone who's read volume 24... yep, you're just going to have to forget all of that. This chapter is starting, like, right after volume 23 ends.

"I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or not," Kanda finally said as he absentmindedly played a game of chess with a concentrating Link who had joined their quote-unquote "odd squad" shortly after him and Johnny.

Allen looked up from the sandwich he was currently trying to keep away from his pregnant golem. "What do you mean?"

"Well, somehow, you manage to get the one golem that gets pregnant. Ah. Checkmate." Link groaned and wandered away from the table looking flustered. He eventually made his way over to Johnny, who was fiddling with some sort of high-tech-looking device. "It seems you are even more unlucky than anyone I have met before."

Allen could almost hear the smugness in Kanda's voice, and he growled, tearing the sandwich in half and forking over one half to the golem who quickly devoured it. Allen quickly stuffed the other half in his mouth before Timcanpy could attack that one as well.

They had decided when they first got into this town that they would have to switch places every two or three days. This being the day, after the little bit of distraction that they allowed themselves, they packed up whatever belongings they had taken out and left.

Before long, Timcanpy was asleep, not having nearly as much energy as it used to.

Since it was about seven in the evening when they had left- right after supper- they reached a new town just before dawn. Allen used some of the money he had earned as a clown to pay for their room after Kanda had given him a dirty look.

It being as early as it was, they all decided that it was just about time to sleep.

Allen, Link, Kanda, and Johnny were just trying to have a peaceful sleep, but that seemed not to be.

In the middle of the night, they all heard a horrible wheezing sound, like a cat with asthma. Allen just rolled over, not even awakening until he was bashed over the head by Kanda. Link had already gotten on his feet, knives at the ready; the work of years of training. Johnny sleepily rubbed his eyes and yawned before forcing himself out of bed.

They all got up to find Timcanpy hovering in the air with its mouth open, making that terrible sound. They exchanged glances as Kanda walked over to poke the thing and hopefully shut it up. He along with the rest of them made undignified squeaks as the golem hacked louder at the prod and something came shooting out of its mouth.

A loud wailing came from the object.

Kanda shivered in disgust.

There, in his arms, was a human infant.

Timcanpy grinned once more at the poor, confused men.

NAW: Before I say anything else, I have got to know... Has anyone else heard the song Waltz of the Ringmaster by Embryon? I don't know why, but I've just gotten obsessed with that song o3o Okay, back to story mode... I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with this story. I'm just kind of making it up as I go, so if things don't make sense, that's probably why. And ugggh short chapter -_-

Neah: Yeah, as I've told you before, you need to plan these things, seriously!

NAW: Who asked you?! I just wanted to write a story and it developed more into a crack fanfic! It's totally not my fault *Cries*

Allen: NAW doesn't own D. Gray-Man, and most likely never will. Please read and review, and favourite and follow if you like it ^u^
