Hello! :D I'm actually surprised at how fast I wrote this. It's a bit short but I think you'll all live. I was a little disappointed. I got no reviews! :( all well. Maybe the first chapter just sucked. I don't know, really. Anyways, I'm going to write about to chapters more and if I still don't get an reviews, I'm going to take that as 'you're a horrible writer, go away!' :D So, yeah. I can't really judge my own story so I don't know if it's any good. I hope you like it, though. Anyways... Moving on.

Disclaimers: I do not own D Gray Man or any of the characters in it. All I own is my plot and any characters you don't recognize (like the akuma in this). Oh, and I don't own the Coldplay song in this either!

Warnings: There will most likely be cussing, there will be scenes of child-abuse and hints towards rape, but no graphic rape scenes or anything.

Pairings: I'm not positive but I am a yaoi fan so expect the parings to be some malexmale. I have warned you. Please don't read if you don't like that kind of stuff. I'm thinking either KandaxLavi or TykixLavi. But I have kinda hinted towards KandaxLavi in this chapter so that most likely will be the case (although I doubt much will be shown until the end-ish or in flashbacks. Also, possible AllenxLenalee (although I greatly detested Lenalee, so there might be some Lenalee bashing).

Plot: Targeted by an unusual level four akuma, the small group of exorcists have no choice but to run. When this evil monster catches up, they soon find themselves in another world. Or more like, a world that use to exist. They find themselves in Lavi's childhood, only in the form of ghosts forced to stalk the little redhead. The akuma's last warning in mind, they must figure a way out or face the possibility of being trapped there forever. It's soon, they realize, their good friend has more secrets then expected and his past isn't so bright.

"Who are you! What do you want!" Allen demands viciously, his hands clenched into tight, white fists.

The Akuma giggles lightly, as if Allen just told the funniest joke. Her grip tightens around the red-haired boy in her grasp as she smiles. "What do I want? Well, I love to taunt and flaunt. But what I really seek will make your world very bleak. I want to kill." She hissed. "And chill and drill and get that tingly, delightful thrill. I'll make you ill, give you your fill. My quest I will fulfill, using all my skill. I promised on my very skin, I told my master, I will win." She laughs again, and Lavi, despite his evident lacking of air, can't help but deduce this Akuma is literally, insane.

"I'll kill you!" Kanda yells.

"Oh. But it's too late now. Maybe if you vow, to me you'll bow, I'll let you go and hunt you slow."

"We will never bow to you!" Lenalee cries out furiously. "Just let our friend go!"

"I see what master meant. So this is why, I was sent. It's time to go you little fools, because now you've broken all her rules." The Akuma sighs, seemingly tired. Gently, she moves her arms from their restricting position around the little redhead, who slumps forward slightly, dazed. Her hands then rest on the sides of his pale face.

"Wha-what are you doing?" He cries out in fear.

"Don't worry, Junior Bookman. Do not fear my little plan. Long ago you had died, now you'll pay because you lied. Now you go to the past, and if you ever get to leave it'll be last." Her purple nails then dig into the exorcists scalp, easily slicing through the thin layer of skin. Lavi screams hoarsely before collapsing into the Akuma's arms, out cold.

"What have you done to him!" Krory yells.

"You'll join him soon, you stupid buffoon. But before you shall go, there is something, you must know. I'll trap you in his pretty little mind, the way out, you must find. What secrets lay in his past, you'll be finding out very fast. The exit door to your freedom, is an answer that'll make you glum. Cause if you're smart, you'll find his heart. And with the dagger of truth, his heart you'll slay with your ruth!" The manic laugh that followed sent shivers down all their spines. She was pure evil, she was. That kind of glee from something so sick was just plain wrong.

"Byeeeee! Little Exorcists. Next time I see you, I'm sure you'll cry." Suddenly, they all felt like they weighted twenty ton. The world slowly began to drain of color before their very eyes and their bodies felt uncomfortably warm, like they were melting. The air was thick and suffocating, making breathing a chore. One by one, their eyelids started to droop. Darkness enclosed on them.

"Maybe I'll see you later and if so, then I will cater. For in your new world, I am the creator and you, you're the traitor."

XxXxXxXx (Allen's Pov)

When I come to, I find myself highly uncomfortable. It's too warm and whatever I'm laying on is hard and bumpy, not a desirable sleeping place. I can't, for the life of me, recall where I am. At home in the Order, maybe. Or am I in some hotel during one of my missions? But I doubt even a hotel bed would be this painful.

I can hear someone shifting next to me. Lenalee? Lavi? Kanda? Maybe Krory. Ug, whoever it is, all I know is that by the way they're groaning, they're waking up as achingly as I am. With more effort then it should take, I open my eyes. However, I immediately shut them again when the harsh glare of the sun blinds me.

"Nnngh. Everyone alright?" I hear Lenalee ask softly.

"Think so." I answer back as I struggle into a sitting position. Blinking away the fuzzy black spots that have taken residence in my vision, I take a look at my surroundings.

We're lying on a small, packed, cobblestone road. The thick bricks range from a thundercloud grey color to a dull, rusty red. Small, quaint shops adorn the sides of the roads and colorful stalls line the roads in front of the shops. To our right is a little park enclosed by rows of tree's and a little path leading the way into the woodland. The sun is savage today. It's really humid out and there's not one tiny cloud in the bright blue sky.

"Where are we?" Krory asks, rubbing his head. "Last I remember we were running from that evil Akuma." As Krory speaks, everything comes rushing back to me. The level four akuma, the chase, the running, Lavi being captured, her weird rhyming riddles and her parting words;

"I'll trap you in his pretty little mind, the way out, you must find. What secrets lay in his past, you'll be finding out very fast. The exit door to your freedom, is an answer that'll make you glum. Cause if you're smart, you'll find his heart. And with the dagger of truth, his heart you'll slay with your ruth!"

But what did she mean? Where are we? Slowly, I get to my feet. We are situated in a little corner out of the way of the crowds. I reach down and pull Lenalee to her feet. I offer my hand to Kanda next, but he ignores me and pushes himself to his feet. "Where's Lavi." He demands.

"I don't know." I reply. As Krory joins us, I take another look around but there is no sign of the familiar redhead. "Maybe he landed somewhere else."

"What if he's hurt!" Lenalee cries, looking at me with desperate eyes and I have no clue how to reply to that. Luckily, I don't have to.

"I'm sure he's fine." Krory smiles reassuringly. "No need to worry about him."

"So." I begin. "What now."

Kanda sneers at me. "We ask someone where the hell we are, Moyashi."

I growl, knowing he's trying to rile me up on purpose but not caring. "Don't call me that, Ba-Kanda!" I yell.

"Shut the fuck up, Short-stacks or I'll slit your throat."

"Both of you stop!" Lenalee screams, coming over to glare at us threateningly. "Let's just calm down. This is no time to argue. Let's go ask someone where we are." Lenalee then whips around and stalks off to the nearest person which happens to be an old lady sitting on a rickety bench, tossing crumbs out to the birds.

"Excuse me, miss." Lenalee smiles endearingly. "Do you think you could help me and my friends by telling us what town we've come into?" The lady doesn't move, she doesn't even look at Lenalee, just continues on with her business. Lenalee frowns slightly, looking uncomfortable. "Um... Sorry to bother you but..." The lady continues to ignore her. Gently, Lenalee reaches out to touch her arm in hopes of gaining her notice. Her hands brush against the womens pale, old skin, before going right through.

We all gasp in horror and Lenalee violently jerks her arm back to herself. I scan the crowd before striding up to a man in about his late thirties. Cautiously, I outstretch my hand to him, hesitating right above his heart. The man doesn't even glance at me. With a feeling of dread, I plunge my hand forward into his chest and it to my horror comes out through his back.

"They can't see us." Kanda states, now by my side along with the other two.

"Nice deduction, genius. As if I couldn't figure that one out." I answer. "And they can't feel us either."

"It's as if we're..." Krory begins. "As if we're ghosts."

"But we're not dead!" Lenalee cries out. "How is this possible!"

It's just then someone strolls by. The only reason they stand out is because of that deep red I see out of the corner of my eye. Immediately thinking it might be Lavi, I whip around. I stare in shock as the person continues on. They have a head of dark red hair that falls softly in their face, mostly over their right eye which is covered by an eye-patch. You can see two strings, one going under his left eye and one over which holds the eyepatch in place. His left eye is a deep, emerald green. 'Lavi,' I think, but there's something wrong. This persons less then half my height and wearing old, thread-bare clothes that hang off his thin form. They hunch into themselves slightly, as if trying to make themselves as small as possible.

"Guys." I whisper, because the alikeness of this boy to one of my best friends is uncannily impossible. "I think..." I pause. "I think we've gone back in time, to Lavi's past."

And when that red head turns, one impossibly green eye meeting my own, I can't help but think; 'This is so freaking wrong.'

XxXxXxXx

Well, that it for today. I haven't really checked this chapter over but I will soon and just fix up any mistakes I see. Thanks so much for reading!
