I do not own D Gray Man.
Enjoy!
Lavi Bookman soon realised that his master was an abnormal person disguised as an average person.
The man would disappear in the mornings and go straight to his lab, afterwards.
When he disappeared, Lavi was free to look at books that he was pretty sure were very rear due to the quality and oldness of the books, he even came across a book on Level 1 to Level 2 Akuma that was handwritten and was in such detail that it would shock anybody.
When he was not reading, he was allowed to go to the battleground where he could face Akuma's that he had captured; there was even Level 3 Akuma's that had been secured from Japan, a place infested by them.
The more he swung, the more he liked his new hammer, but he was lacking in attack variation and it was soon remedy by a card that his master gave him through his Akuma.
On that card was a very detailed Seal that he wouldn't have believed was created a day ago out of information from a Bookman.
And Seals weren't the only things that he was given, he was handed a book with a quill, an innocence tracker in a form that could easily be mistaken as one of his earrings and his official work uniform.
The uniform was dark purple and had gold buttons to both sides from top to button on the chest stitch in gold was the roman number for 15 and his trousers were fine silk, over it all was a red cloak.
Lavi was well aware of how eye-catching he would be if he walked down the road and looked like a Nobel man's child so the cloak was a good call.
As soon as he was dressed, he was given his first Innocence to go after, he only ran into one or two Akuma when he went looking for it, it seems the Earl and the order were too busy being at each other throats to notice him so he found the Innocence and recorded his findings.
However, when an Innocence was fully activate which meant he had to find the compatible person and befriend them, before telling them the power they had.
It was then that they could decide to reach out to the Black Order or hide and pray an Akuma or a Noah does not find them.
It was safe to say, they followed his instructions and ran to the Black Order while telling nobody of their destination for fear of being killed.
When people started turning up at the Black order doorstep, claiming to be wielders of their own innocence.
The Black Order noticed.
The story of how they met a red-haired teenager who called himself Lavi Bookman who saved their lives and told them why they were being chased after, was something the Black Order were very sceptical about.
After all, Lavi loved the order, why would he not even attempt to contact anybody?
"Mister Bookman. Master has another job for you" Said, an Akuma as Lavi was in a hot springs bathhouse.
He took the card and saw on it was his next destination, it was a town that had something super natural about it.
"Give me a few minutes" He said, and the Akuma left him.
He was soon dressed and in front of the door his master had prepared for him to the outside world.
He walked into it and came out in some kind of forest, he wrapped the cloak around him well, before heading to the village, he was surprised by how populated the place was and found an inn that too seemed packed.
He was behind two cloak figures.
They felt abnormal.
They went to the front of the line pretty quickly.
"Sorry but there are only two king sized rooms left" Said, the counter person beaming, before telling them all the price which pretty much drove the people in line away however the two cloaked figures stayed and got out a heavy bag of coins.
"We want to one room for a four days" Said, a voice he did not know.
The person took the money once he saw the high-quality clothes underneath, he beamed.
"Here is your room key" Said, the person before the two left.
"Hello" Lavi said, startling the man since he did not think somebody was behind them. "I would like the last room please. I'm a researcher" acting older than he looked and giving the man, a bag of money.
The man took it and gave him his room key.
Lavi went up the stairs and walked from room to room seeing the numbers on the door before going to a decent looking door and then using the key to open it, it revealed a room that did not hold a candle to what he was used to.
He sat on the bed and put down his traveller bag before opening it and getting out the book his master had given to him to record his findings.
Log 23
I arrive at a village that is unusually packed, I will find out why in the morning'- He wrote down.
And then he ate his lunch and then went to sleep, only to wake up when he felt something enter the room.
"A body of a researcher? I can go for a snack as well" Said, a voice.
And he continued to pretend to be asleep while he activated his innocence, in secret.
The thing came near and was about to chump on his when he suddenly opened his eyes and said. "Goodbye Akuma"
The thing eyes were wide and he slammed his hammer down and burned out of existence.
Unfortunately, with how packed the village was, it wasn't the last time an Akuma went to his room to eat him and try to take over his body.
The village was like a hunting ground for Akuma.
When morning came, Lavi was sure a good portion of the inn were Akuma.
He came down and saw the two cloaked individuals but without their hoods, revealing a man and woman who both had dark skin but the clothes underneath revealed them to be Exorcist's.
Looking around, those normal looking people who were having a conversation were actually staring at the two.
They were like a magnet for Akuma.
And that meant they wouldn't be paying attention to him as he wrote in his book.
Perfect.
And then he heard.
"Did you see last night? I saw my dead child!" Said, a woman.
His pen momentary stopped and the Exorcist were immediately listening.
"I saw my wife last night" Said, a man. "She was right next to that grave."
Memorial? Was a gravestone an Innocence? Thought Lavi, he would have gone out and track it down last night but then he would have to fight his way through Akuma because of the open space he would be in.
"I was planning on going to that grave tonight to see my dead child, again." Said, somebody else.
It may really be an innocence.
The woman Exorcist got up and walked to the table and said. "I couldn't help but hear that you saw your loved ones near a grave. I too am tragic stricken and would like to visit the grave"
Her cute exotic looks swindled them and she was taken to it.
The moment both exorcist left, several Akuma in human skin began to leave.
Lavi left as well, he began to walk around the village, asking people why they flocked to the Village, like he was truly a researcher as he wrote in his book before handing to the Grave to find it surrounded by Humans and Akuma.
His locator told him the Innocence was down below so somebody had to move the grave stone but nobody was going to do it when it was still day light.
He headed back to the inn and made his bed, he stuffed things in to make it appear he was asleep and then he climbed out of the window and jumped onto the roof top.
He peered over the roof to find the Exorcist leaving the inn and they were being tailed instantly.
He trailed behind them several minutes later, heading slowly to the grave, by the time he got there the Gravestone was already moved.
It was just how master said.
Why lift a figure when somebody else can do it for you?
Several Akuma in human flesh chased after the Akuma through the hole, Lavi went in as well but using his hammer he cast a seal that would kill any Akuma that was Level 3 and down around the grave, he didn't want more showing up.
And then he began to clear the Akuma as he headed deeper and deeper into the darkness to find the Innocence.
He walked right into a battle between a Level 3 Akuma and the Exorcists.
Scratch that.
He walked into a battle where a Level 3 Akuma was pummelling two Exorcist's.
"Why?" Said, the female. "Why is a Level 3 Akuma here!?"
They were under the impression that the Level 3 and 4 Akuma were on important missions assigned by the millennium Earl.
"I would have been a Level 2 but I evolved last night" Said, the Akuma much to both Exorcist Horror. "With the Innocence making people see their loves ones, this has become quiet the hunting ground for Akuma"
And then the Akuma pushed the Coffin open revealing a skeleton woman inside it, around the skeletons neck was something shinning.
"So, this is the innocence" Said, the Akuma as it took it from the neck and the moment it got close, it suddenly it was overcome with the urge to destroy. "I hate Innocence. Must kill"
And then it received a jump kick to the side of its head.
Both Exorcist eyes were wide when they saw the action and the Akuma rolled on the floor due to the force, the innocence flew up into the air and Lavi caught it.
"An innocence inside a necklace?" Lavi said, as the two stared at him in shock.
Suddenly they all heard.
"So, there was more of you? I'LL KILL YOU!" Yelled the recovered Level 3 Akuma and the Exorcists did not have time to shout as the Akuma attacked.
Something shocking happened.
Lavi blocked it with his hammer.
The Akuma's eyes were wide, neither of the Exorcist before had managed to fully block its attack.
Lavi used a seal he had learned from his Master.
"Heaven Stamp: Inferno" He suddenly said.
And both Exorcists eyes almost popped out their head when they saw, that claw suddenly began to glow golden, the Akuma tried to move away but it was too late.
His body started to disappear as little angels came out of its form before it completely disappeared.
The Akuma was defeated.
Both of the Exorcist eyes were round.
Which big shot of the order had graced them today!
But then they saw his uniform under his coat and couldn't help but notice how it didn't look anything like a uniform from the Order, there was not even the Black Order special logo stitched on his chest instead there was the roman number '15'.
"Who are you?" Said, the man.
"Don't be so hostile, Mr Exorcist" Said, Lavi, sitting in a crouch. "My name is Lavi and I am a Bookman. I go around recording data from Innocence" before he said. "And speaking of Innocence. Give me a minute"
He then opened his book and dipped the necklace into, before their very eyes it wrote words and then he pulled it back out and tossed the Innocence to them.
"I am no longer interested in this Innocence. You can have it" He said, further shocking them, before he said. "Look at both of you, covered in wounds. I've ward off the Akuma around here but the moment I leave. Your both are going to die."
"Y-You're a Bookman? But that's impossible" Said, the man. "There are only two in the order"
"Did I say, I work for the order?" Lavi said, stunning them both.
And then he began to help the two of them onto his hammer and them he extended it outside the grave, both of them were shocked to see how far it extended as they were led safely outside the village.
"I'm sure, if you call for Back-up, it will arrive" Said, Lavi before turning and almost going when he heard.
"Wait." He turned to see the man, who then said. "You just took down a Level 3 like it was nothing and you have an innocence. Why aren't you an Exorcist? You should be an exorcist. Come with us to the Black Order. You'll be welcomed immediately."
"Sorry, Mr Exorcist but you're talking to the wrong person about this." Said, Lavi stunning both of them. "You need to talk to my Master about your war. But I doubt he would listen or you'll be able to find him. Even I, do not know where he is"
And that was the true, that place he spent his time in could be anywhere.
He then left, disappearing before their very eyes.
"Wait!" said, the female.
It was too late, he vanished completely.
The two of them know they had just let a big fish get away.
If he could defeat a Level 3 Akuma so easily than imagine how he would do against a Level 4 Akuma?
Their top Exorcist needed two people to fight a Level 4, the order needed all the high-level Exorcist they could get with that same power level.
And then something came out of the male Exorcist jacket, it was the black flying golem that all Exorcist had.
They soon realised that it had been recording!
Both of them looked at each other and pressed stop before pressing play, out beamed the whole entire fight including when Lavi came in.
They had proof of this guy to show the order.
They could not imagine the uproar this footage would cause when people find out there was someone out there who could kill a Level 3 Akuma easily and had an innocence but was not an Exorcist.
They did not know, they were playing into a Noah's hands.
And scene!
Next chapter, the footage is shown to their superiors at the Black Order and not only is the footage shocking but the person is immediately as the missing Lavi Bookman Jr. The higher ups want him back immediately when they see how easily he can defeat a Level 3 Akuma now, making him an existence they can't ignore. Review/fav and follow!
