New chappie = awesomeness
I hope you enjoy! Last chapter was pretty dull and a semi-filler, but later you'll figure out that nearly every single chapter has value :)
Oh yeah, and also, this chapter is quite boring at the beginning, but in the end it's really important. Yay.

Chapter 2:
Lost in memories
The group made their way through the village and into the northern path. The sign saying they were leaving the village was visible. There was no pathway outside of the village, it was just a huge chunk of grass. Many flowers grew in a certain pattern, and they looked like they're showing the trail towards the river. But just as they were about to step outside of the village...
"HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING?" a voice shouted. Everyone turned to see a boy with silky white hair, black cap that says Lightial in white, white coat, and white jeans. Recognition fell onto the three young kids' faces as they waved hello.
"Hey Light! We're just heading towards the mountain." explained Jake, pointing at the mountains.
"The mountains? Why?" asked Light with overwhelming curiosity. Why would anyone go to the mountains anyway? It's practically haunted!
"Him." said Jake, pointing at Allen. Allen just waved a shy hello as Light was eyeing on him suspiciously. Light seemed to be lost in thought, scratching the back of his head.
"You trust a stranger?" asked Light, head tilting to the left.
"We were bored." explained Jake simply, shrugging. Well, at least that was the 3 quarters of the truth. The last quarter was because Rika persuaded both Jake and Clara to come.
"C'mon Jake! Let's go! Or else we'll ditch you!" shouted Rika, breaking Jake's train of thought. Jake shifted his view from Light and in surprise he saw that the others have already left the village and are nearing the river.
"Hey! Slow down!" shouted Jake as he ran to catch up. Even though Rika was the one who persuaded him, there was no way he was going to miss out on anything. Shrugging in confusion, Light decided to follow Jake.
After a few minutes of walking in thick silence, Rika was bored and decided to start a conversation, mainly going on about the 'newest member of the touring group'.
"Lightial... what are you doing here?" asked Rika, watching a butterfly gathering nectar from a nearby flower, fluttering in front of Rika, then heading to the next nearest flower. Many other pale white butterflies joined the lone one. Looking up, Rika spotted the mountains in the distance. It isn't so far now. At the speed they were going, they were going to reach there in less than one or two minutes.
"I dunno. Dark said he wanted some alone time with himself. He was feeling sick for the past few days." explained Light. Rika, Clara, and Jake recalled the memory of Dark. Darkial (Dark) and Lightial (Light) were twin brothers, though Darkial has pure black hair instead of pure white. They both have the same shade of gray eyes. Now that you think about it, the twins haven't contacted them for quite awhile. So Darkial being sick must be the reason.
"Do you think Darkial will be okay?" asked Clara, obviously concerned over Darkial's wellbeing.
"He should be. His sickness shouldn't be severe enough for him too. The worst that can possibly happen is if he is in coma, but that's rare." explained Light, scratching the back of his head, trying to recall more info. But all that came up was blank. Well, Light has been overly-worried about Dark that he hasn't had a good night sleep.
"Or death. Death is more worse." thought Rika. Though if comas are counted as rare, death is probably near impossible.
"Do you know where he got the sickness-" started Clara, but was interrupted by Rika.
"WE'RE HERE!" Rika shouted gleefully. Everyone looked at the sign that was covered in childish drawings. Behind the sign were the mountains as seen in the village. Located near the mountains was a park. It was pretty easy to figure out that's where all the kids hung out. But looking at it now, nobody would like to hang out in it. Half of the seesaw was ripped, while the other half was impaled onto a withering tree. One of the swing's metal bars were broken while the other was tangled with yet another tree. The slide has been ripped to shred (it's metallic!) and is scattered all over the park. The monkey bars has been twisted and transformed into a messed up knot. All in all, the park was wrecked on purpose.
"Where did that red-haired guy go?" wondered Jake, scanning the area. Nobody was there beside the five people standing right now.
"I don't know where Lavi went, but maybe we should start looking-" Allen stopped his phrase with a gasp. His left eye has started to react. On cue, a scream filled the air. It was coming from the back of the long mountain. Panic-driven, the group ran towards the source of the scream. However, Light tripped onto his shoelace. Assuring he'll come back to the others, Light stayed behind to tie his shoe... Something he's not very good at.
It was a long trip around the side of the mountain. The group was panting. However, the team has shortly forgotten all about how tired they are. All that mattered was the figure laying before them, clutching his chest while still screaming in pain. This startled everybody. Lavi has bite marks all over him and they were bleeding. There are even some bites that in a twisted way looks unnatural. A small pool of blood laid below him. The vision of someone having such bruises and screaming out loud made Rika and Clara sick. How could that guy still be able to survive? With such blood lost...
"Lavi! Are you okay?" asked Allen, running over to him. Suddenly, everyone saw a blur of a small silver figure.
"KID! WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS! BEHIND YOU!" shouted the three at the same time, worried of their companion's life. Allen, hearing the warning, just had enough time to activate his crown clown and shield Lavi and himself from a bite of the figure.
"Woah!" commented Jake as he saw the white cloth protecting them, "how does he do that?" It was Rika's turn to shrug as she grabbed her two friends by the arm and hid behind a rock.
"What about the white-haired guy?" asked Clara.
"He'll be fine. Besides, it's not like we're leaving them." stated Rika. The small brown figure then stopped moving and this time it was the white cloth that began to move. Suddenly, something emerged from the white cloth and a black claw (unlike the rest of the figure which is pure white) slashed the small brown figure.
"Cross Grave!" shouted a familiar voice while it slashed the brown figure. Everyone stared in awe as they saw it was actually Allen who is in the pure white costume. How does he do that? Eyes shifted towards Allen's enemy. It was a very cute kitten. The cute thing is half injured, and literally crying. The kitten was launched back by Allen's move. Allen gritted his teeth.
"So the akumas hang out near this mountain after all..." thought Allen, thankful for having the ability to see the soul of akumas.
"What are you doing? Attacking a kitten?" asked Clara as she in anger ran towards the kitten. The poor thing is going to die if things continue on like this! Rika's eyes went wide as she realized why Allen was attacking the kitten.
"Clara, no!" shouted Rika as she ran towards Clara. Jake followed Rika, wondering what's going to happen to Clara.
"Hopefully she dies." thought Jake, smirking slightly at that thought. But Rika, unlike Jake, cared for Clara and hoped she isn't too late. If Rika's reasoning is right, it was the kitten who did those unnatural bite marks on the guy wearing an eye patch. No way will she let another soul go through the same experience!
Allen was just about to use another Cross Grave on this akuma's soul, until suddenly Clara went in front of him! Nearly hitting her, Allen managed to cancel the attack before that happened. The akuma-kitty grinned because he didn't got hit again. His teeth were as sharp as Timcampy's, and that's saying something! Having an evil plot hatching in it's mind, the kitty happily emitted blinding light. As everything faded into white, a voice echoed deep within their brains. It was child-like in a way.
"You dare fight me? Well then, you must face the punishment. Prepare to get lost in the past and never come back!" echoed the eerie yet cute sounding voice. An electric blast filled their bodies. Screams pierced the air as everything disappeared in their eyes.
Hearing the piercing screams, Light decided to just forget about the shoelace he tried tying for the millionth time and ran where the others are, tripping three times over his shoelace. When he reached there, all that was left was a small pool of blood, footprints in the very few damp mud areas, and a fleeing figure, which is apparently a kitten. Kitten's can't do much harm anyway so Light let the kitty escape. But where are the others? Feeling pain and guiltiness, Light ran away and tried to contact the police for an investigation.
Allen groaned as he woke up. He looked at his surroundings. The walls were pure white and he was laying on a white bed. Besides him on another bed was Lavi, covered in bandages but sleeping peacefully. Allen sighed in relief as he recalled the latest events. What did that akuma mean by get lost in the past and never come back? Must be some kind of joke.
Suddenly, a young lady probably in her early 20's entered the room. She had blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, white short-sleeve shirt and blue skirt.
"Ah, it seems you're finally awake!" exclaimed the young lady, "My name is Alyss, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Alyss. Sorry for being a bother, but what time is it?" asked Allen out of the blue. Out of thin air suddenly appeared a golden pocket watch.
"Morning, 10 hours, 15 minutes, 34 seconds, and precisely 8 milliseconds. Oh yeah, and today is November the 3rd, 1887." explained Alyss, smirking as she made the pocket watch disappear. Oh how much she loved her pocket watch. Allen's eyes grew wide. 1887? That's 13 years ago!
I think this is one of my short chapters. Sorry. BTW, I don't know what year D. Gray-Man starts/ends. So I just assumed it starts at year 1900.
I should seriously stop adding OCs, but I can't help it :/
No preview :( Sowwy! I should really start adding previews again... Maybe next chapter there's going to be a preview..? (...I said maybe.)
