Le second one. Nothing really interesting to say the least but- beware the OC c': Well, so to speak, we need others to explain events -shrugs- I've also noticed i tend to change how i refer to Kanda as 'Yu' or 'Yuu'. I don't know whats right, but i'll just change from one to the other...

I don't own D. Gray-Man, or else it will become shipping galore and it will be a fight to the death on who's with who...


It was strange to say the least. Allen knew he was dreaming. But it felt too real to be a dream.

In Allen's 'dream world', he is certain that he is in the mansion he had been exploring. But where he was, he couldn't even tell. Glancing around the room he was in, he noticed how... lonely, it felt. The room was dug out, by the looks of it, so it was surrounded by dirt. Looking behind himself, there is a corridor that leads out in to no doubt- a dirt hall way. Turning his focus back into the room, he saw a table in the middle of the room. It had metal cuffs for holding people down, and it was stained with blood. He shuddered at the thought of that. The room had benches for sitting on chained to the wall at the back, but they didn't look like they could be moved, even if you went up and gave it a good shake. Looking up, he noticed one thing completely different from the whole mansion itself- a single light-bulb was hanging from the ceiling, ever so slightly rocking to and fro. But the light was enough to allow the cursed exorcist to see. Around the side of the room, a few scatted chairs were leaning against the wall and a wardrobe was also placed on the right hand side of the room.

Allen found himself staring at the wardrobe. For whatever the reason, he felt like he had to open the doors on it. So he slowly started to approach the wooden object.

He made it about half from where he was to the wardrobe, but stopped at the sound of sobbing. Allen wasn't sure what he would see if looked to where the crying was coming from, and one thing he had picked out was, there was multiple sobs. Gritting his teeth, he turned around to find the source of the crying, another thing he noted; they were children that were crying.

From where he was standing, he could make out the pale blue light from under one of the benches, tucked into the left corner of the room. They were all huddled together, and tucked into the corner as far as they could go. Allen thought for a moment, thinking about going near them. He knew for a fact that these children were dead. After all, he sees spirits on a day to day basis. He swayed for a moment, then took a step towards the small children.

'Why am I afraid of approaching them?' he silently wondered...

Taking careful steps towards them, he stopped once he thought he close enough, but before he could ask them what was wrong, a voice spoke up from the other end of the room, near the corridor.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." It warned.

Allen jumped at the sudden voice. The place was relatively creepy enough without the sudden creepy voices speaking to him. He spun around facing the new comer. It was a man, older then himself, that was no doubt. But not that much older, he looked slightly older then both Lavi and Kanda. They were in there what? 18's or something... So this guy could be around his 20's at best, 25 at his latest.

He was taller than Kanda, and he wore a pair of dark blue pants, black combat boots that went to about his knees. He had a white shirt on, and over it, a tan brown coat that came down to the back of his knees. His hair is a brown, and it looks more black with the small amount of light. It was strewn across his head and he had his fringe covering his forehead and it kind of went in his eyes. His eyes were light blue, but they looked darker as well.

"Why's that? It's only a dream, isn't it?" Allen tilted his head to the side. His snow white hair falling to the side.

"To an extent, yes, it is a dream. But so to speak, this is also connected to the waking world." He stood up straight and fold his arms over his chest.

Allen was confused. This guy made no sense on what he just said. So he frowned at the older man, because trying to word what he said was rather hard.

"Simply put, you're at the boundary between the waking world and the dream world. In this place, anything you do here may affect you later on, if you're stupid enough to go back to the mansion. In this case, you were going to 'help' the spirit children. If you talk to them, they will target you when they see you again." His eyes seemed to gleam in the poor light.

"Or I could put this way... Welcome to the spirit world." He gestured upwards and slowly brought his arms back to his sides in a circular motion.

Allen on the other hand, wasn't sure what to think of it. 'welcome to the spirit world'... he thought for a moment. Then it sort of hit him like a brick to the face-

"I'm DEAD?!" He cried out, which caused the ghost opposite of him to burst out laughing, clutching his sides as he did so.

"No you idiot" He was still laughing. "If you were dead, you would know, that's for sure." He managed to get his laughing under control and looked Allen in the eyes. "For example, me and those kids all have the blue glow to us, where you on the other hand, have no defined glow or even transparent." He heard him sigh and made an amused sound. "Oh, and another way to tell if you're dead or not, is you'll feel the pain even after you died, and depending on where you died, you can see the injury inflicted upon the ghost."

"That makes no sense." Allen said.

"Some places are more spiritually connected then others." He shrugged. He walked over to Allen, walking through the table and stopping in front of him.

"It may be in your best interest to wake though" An unreadable emotion seemed to flick through his eyes, but it was gone when Allen tried to identify it.

"And why is that?" Allen glared at him. He just rolled his eyes.

"Do you fancy dying in the dream you're in?" He deadpanned. Allen looked at him, and already knew the answer to that one.

"Well, no. Not really..."

"And that's what I thought." He raised his arm and flicked Allen in the forehead. The later rubbed where he was flicked and sent a small glare at the ghost.

"I'll see you in the waking world.." He said with a small wave.

And with that, Allen's vision swayed. It felt like he was falling... falling into the darkness. But the darkness was different, like falling into deep water. And like when the water flows of your vision, that's what the darkness was like.

'Heh, I never asked his name...' He thought before re-entering the waking world.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Kanda was bored.

It was no surprise, since he was babysitting the Moyashi, who hadn't woken up yet. It had been roughly almost a day and the sun was setting in the afternoon light. He had done meditating, but he would love nothing more than to train with Mugen. But, he's in a hospital and Lavi and Lenalee would crack at him for getting kicked out.

Throughout the day, he notice that the Moyashi had been doing a lot of twitching in his sleep. He had also made some amusing faces. Some of them were the kind of reactions he does when insulted or when Kanda himself annoys the Moyashi.

Deciding he had done enough meditating for one day, Kanda stood up from where he had been sitting on the floor. He was going to make Lavi pay for making him stay here... Glancing back at the bed ridden idiot, he noted that the Moyashi no longer had the skin complex of a white sheet. That explains the whole 'white as a sheet' thing...

Suddenly Allen sat up, almost startling Kanda. His eyes were flicking around the room, and he ended up making eye contact with him. Emotions were swirling around in the tired silver orbs, where normally he kept his happy façade up or emotionless when he needed to.

"Kan...da?" He looked rather stupid Kanda noted to himself.

"What." Came the growl.

He muttered something along the lines of; 'I'm in the waking world again'. The Moyashi blinked a few times, trying to adjust to bright room. He then properly took in his surroundings, and Kanda could sense the next question coming.

"Is this a hospital?"

"What kind of stupid question is that, Moyashi?" He sneered at the younger. Oh god how he's been wanting to annoy him.

"It's Allen, BaKanda..." Allen growled in responses. He sighed and flopped back on to the bed he was resting in.

"Che. I never knew you twitched so much, it was almost like something struck you with lighting." Kanda teased.

"It's called a dream BaKanda, but you wouldn't know that." Allen stuck his tongue out at the older exorcist.

"You two fight like an old married couple."

Kanda spun around expecting an Akuma, while Allen just looked in the direction of the oh-so-familiar voice.

"You again." Allen said flatly.

"You wound me with your words." The ghost fringed his sadness.

The Ravennette was mildly confused. He looked back to the Moyashi for an explanation. But he seemed more interested in the ghost who was leaning against the wall by the door.

"I did say you would see me again, didn't I?" The ghost shrugged.

"True... I didn't think you would manifest in this... world." Allen watched the ghost.

"Moyashi, do you know who this is or was?" Kanda basically growled out.

"Well, BaKanda, he appeared in my dream." He deadpanned that. "And for whatever the reason was, stopped me from talking to some ghost children." He then frowned and starred at the ghost.

"You never told me your name."

"Hmm... Eric's the name." He grinned. "And hunting's my game~" He hummed. They had to admit, the guy was strange, but he seemed to be a kind spirit. Allen blinked in realization, almost forgetting what he needed to ask the ghost- and Kanda as well..

"Ne, Kanda, why are you even here?" He tilted his head to the right. If Kanda wasn't the giant ass prick he proclaims to be, he would have found that to be adorable, but it's the Moyashi, so he finds it to be kind(?) of cute at least.

"Backup. I'm with the Usagi and Lenalee as well, but they left me with you" He hissed.

Allen had a blank face. He had no idea how to feel, but he felt betrayed to an extent. They left me, with him of all people. He growled to himself, and no doubt it would have been Lavi's idea. I'll kill him. Well, maybe he wouldn't actually kill him, more or less scare the crap out of him. BaKanda can kill him, saves me the trouble and I don't get into trouble as well. He grinned inwardly, almost evilly, if you can anyway.

"Your still a slow poke, BaKanda." He thought about trying to make the man feel slightly guilty, but he doubt that would even work...

Said male only let out a kind of growl. "We got here as quickly as Lenalee and Lavi got us." He narrowed his eyes at him. And then he smirked at him, and Allen was ready for the smug remark.

"It was a matter of finding your ass was the problem, after all, you have no sense of direction."

The shorter male scoffed at that.

"I didn't have the time to worry about where I was going, I had to get out of there and deliberately lose myself so the Akuma couldn't find me." He growled back at him. The tall Asian male knew he had that as a legitimate reason, but it wasn't going to stop him from teasing the shorter.

The ghost on the other hand, he really didn't want to interrupt them. Watching them bitch at one another proved to be entertaining, and it also seemed to bring up memories from his own past. His eyes protruded his emotions, even after death, he still had all the memories; bitterness, regret, uselessness. Why? Because he messed up in the past.

"Eric?" The Silver eyed teen was looking at the ghost. "You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Allen wasn't sure, but the spirit seemed to have shaken off whatever that was. He had also caught the look of regret in his eyes, something he was all too familiar with. It makes him wonder just what he regretted...

"So why did you stop me from interacting with the other ghosts?"

That seemed to get Eric's attention. He thought about it for a moment, should I just tell these two, or wait till their friends arrive... He may well wait for the other two, saves him having to explain it twice.

"I'll tell you guys once your friends show up, saves me explaining it twice, and I doubt that either of you can relay it." He couldn't help but tease them, what can they even do anyway? Threatening him is useless, he's already dead. All they can really do is bark at him.

Both ended up throwing a heated glare at him. With both yelling out at the same time-

"I'm smarter than him!"

They both paused. Then they ended up turning to glare at each other (more or less in slow motion). Eric really couldn't help it, there was no way he was going to be able to stop his laughing fit. And damn was it hard to stop, he was gripping his sides, laughing hard, sure he may be dead, but doesn't mean he won't get a stitch the way he's laughing. He was almost crying, just their facial expressions and the fact they yelled the same thing out- at the same time.

Gods, he was having too much fun.

Both exorcists where glaring at the laughing ghost. And how Kanda wished he could kill the bastard, yet someone has already beaten him to it.

He finally stopped laughing, and collected himself off the floor.

"But mind you lot, that mansion is no place for the living to enter." He said matter-of-factually.

"If your referring to the Akuma, we can handle those without any trouble." Allen said.

"Normally, yes." Eric shifted his 'weight' around on his legs. "But I'm not talking about them."

"What, are the ghost going to attack us instead." Kanda scoffed at the thought.

"Yes, and you humans won't be able to defend yourself from them to well." Eric said with a glare thrown at Kanda.

Before either of the exorcist could say anything about that, the door to the room was flung open by Lavi. The red head was smiling from ear to ear almost. Lenalee was behind him, shaking her head at his idea of 'opening' doors. Then Lavi kind of froze when he noticed three things.

One, there is a ghost in the room and you can see it.

Two, Moyashi-chan is awake.

Three, Kanda's going to try and kill him with Mugen.

He was tossing up between screaming at the dead person, lunging at Allen and squeezing the life out of the boy, or running out of the room before Yu-chan can kill him. He decided the latter one would be for the best, or else the Asian might finally kill him.

So without so much as a gesture, Lavi spun on his heel, once again having Kanda hunt him down, but that was nothing new and because he was Yu's best friend, he yelled a greeting behind him.

"IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO YU-CHAN!" That was followed by a 'Usagi' being screeched at the red head. That left Allen with Lenalee and Eric, who was laughing once again.


Ne, I've deiced to do another story as well, but i think I'll write more on it before any of you see it... But it's also to give me a bit of space from this one, so i don't get board over writing it. But it's an AU, so i think I'll do a few more DGM mission related one's first- mostly one shots.

I think it's a bit demanding people ask them to review their story's, but its understandable. I have no idea if you lot even read my updates, but personally, i don't care on a great scale. For those who review, thanks a lot c: Those who read it, same thing~
