A/N: I just finished watching the last two episodes of D. Gray-man. Kanda kicked Komui's ass! LOL…and Lavi and Kanda jumped onto the Level 4's back.^_^ It was hilarious. And Lenalee's new Innocence is so cool! The last episode made me really sad, though. No more DGM episodes for me to watch. :'(
Many thanks to Miyu-Luva, kenpachi-sama, Kaytlyn Hue, aviantei, mimicsmaze, mmt, and xXDeath-N'-HellXx for reviewing!

Thursday, September 11
Lenalee and Diane met Kanda after school at his car, as usual.
"Hey Kanda!" Lenalee smiled brightly.
"H-" Kanda was cut off by a squeal from Diane, who had noticel Mugen sitting on the hood of the convertible.
"Aww, you brought Mugen to school with you? That is so cute!" she exclaimed, picking up the black kitten.
Kanda scowled. "I did not bring him to school. I left him at home this morning, and when I got to my car, he was sitting on it."
"Awww Yu's cat followed him to school!" Lavi had arrived, with Allen in tow.
"Shut up."
Mugen jumped out of Diane's arms and approached Allen.
"Hey kitty," Allen said, bending down to pet him. Mugen hissed, and swiped at his hand with razor-sharp claws.
"Ow!" Allen jumped back, a long red scratch on his left arm. Lavi burst out laughing, and a corner of Kanda's mouth twitched.
Mugen pranced back to Kanda, looking quite pleased with himself. "Nice one, cat," Kanda said. Mugen purred, rubbing his head against Kanda's legs.
"So, Kanda, do you mind giving us a ride to the library today?" Diane asked. "Lenalee and I got assigned a huge history project today, and we need to do some research."
"What? No, not the library!" Lavi exclaimed.
"Why, what's wrong with that?" Allen asked, confused.
"My gramps works there. Well, actually he owns the library. He's mean as hell; stay away from him if you know what's good for you."
"Oh, don't be such a drama queen, Lavi," Lenalee sighed. "Your grandfather isn't that mean."
"Of course he is! Last week he kicked me in the head because I got a 98 on a test! He was like 'why didn't you get 100, you idiot?'"
Diane rolled her eyes. "Just get in the car, Lavi."
--
The black convertible pulled into the library's parking lot. As the 5 teenagers walked towards the library doors, they passed a group of 6 people, who were lounging on the side of the steps. There were 4 guys and two girls, their ages ranging from about 11 to in the twenties. They had the appearance of some sort of street gang, but judging from their clothes, they all seemed pretty well off. What was weird about them was they all had the same odd, dark skin tone, and a line of crosses across their forehead.
Probably some sort of weird tattoo, Allen though to himself. Hmm…who in their right mind would let a 11 year-old girl get a tattoo?
As the group walked past, one of them, the young man in his twenties with wavy black hair, called out, "Hey Diane."
Diane giggled. "Nice to see you again, Tyki."
When they were safely inside the library, Allen hissed, "Who were they?"
Lavi answered him. "They're the Noahs."
"The what?"
"They're sorta like a gang around here."
"I didn't know this town had gangs."
"Well, they're not really a gang. They're all related somehow, and live together in this huge mansion. Generally they're not dangerous or anything, but watch out for that big muscular guy. He's been sent to jail twice. And there are some rumors about them being drug dealers…"
Allen's eyes widened.
"Don't exaggerate, Lavi," Lenalee said. They're kinda strange and creepy looking, but they've never done anything wrong."
"Yeah," Diane added. "And Tyki is really nice. I met him at work the other day, he wanted to adopt a puppy for his neice."
"Are you kidding me?" Lavi exclaimed. "There was this guy that was killed a few months ago, and he was the main suspect! I have no idea why he wasn't convicted."
"Whatever. The judge said he was innocent, that's all that matters. Besides, he's so hot…"
Lenalee giggled. "Diane's got a crush on Tyki!"
Diane blushed. "Shut up! I do not!"
Allen noticed Kanda suddenly looked rather annoyed. Well, more annoyed than usual, that is.
"Lavi! What are you and your friends doing here, disrupting my library?" An old man's sharp voice called. He was extremely short, with black circles around his eyes and hair that seemed to defy the laws of gravity, standing straight up like a question mark.
Lavi flinched, as if expecting an attack. "Oh, hey Gramps. Diane and Lenalee need to do some research for a project."
"Well, stop talking so loud, or get out!"
"That's Gramps for ya, Allen," Lavi sighed.
--
"So, what's this project supposed to be about?" Diane asked Lenalee. They were all seated around a circular table in between two tall bookshelves.
"Weren't you listening at all in class, Diane?" Lenalee asked exasperatedly.
"Nope, not at all."
Lenalee sighed. "Well, we have to write a report about Greek mythology. It can be anything at all, but the report has to be at least 5 pages, typed."
Diane groaned. "This is gonna take forever! Well, what are we gonna write about?" She picked up a random book and started flipping through it.
"Um, Diane, that book isn't even about Greek mythology."
"Hmm? Oh, sorry."
"You know, it's really a mystery to me how you get such good grades," Lavi remarked.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Diane asked reproachfully.
"It means you're an idiot," Kanda interrupted.
"Shut up! No one asked you!" she snapped.
"You think they like each other?" Lenalee whispered to Lavi.
"Most definitely."
--
"So, Medusa got turned into a monster because Athena caught her making out with Poseidon in her temple?" Diane asked.
"Yep."
"Wow, these Greek myths sure are strange."
A while later, after Diane and Kanda had started arguing and Lavi's grandfater had come over to yell at them, Diane and Lenalee were actually working.

A/N: So, the Noahs have entered the story! Yay! I know that was kinda an abrupt ending, but I couldn't think of anything else. XD That was a rather short chapter. I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! *borrows Mugen from Kanda as a guard cat*
By the way, that part about Medusa is actually true. o.O
Thanks to xXDeath-N'-HellXx for giving me the drug dealer idea and for the support!
And thank you Kaytlyn Hue for the support in all my fics and art!
If anyone has any more ideas on what should happen next, please let me know!
