DISCLAIMER: D. Gray Man does not belong to me. I do not own D. Gray Man. D. Gray Man belongs to the people who wrote, made, and drew it. (Mostly to Katsura Hoshino)

Soooooo today is January 1st, which means I am starting to write this chapter the same day I posted it. I plan to get this done as soon as possible bc this month is midterm month. (*Crying on the inside.)

So basically I plan to have multiple confrontations in this chapter. Neah with Kanda (Who's looking forward to that!), and Allen with the bad guy (not sure how to play that one out.)

TeeeHeee, onward to the land of betrayal and infidelity and chaos that follows. (Gosh that sounded gloomy).


Third Person PoV

Neah smiled smugly, but Kanda knew better. Since Kanda had known Allen for more than 10 year and lived with him through about 8 of them, he learned how to read poker faces really well. Even though I still have trouble reading Allen's. Deep inside the eyes of the musician, it was filled with rage and hatred.

"I always thought that stealing your precious sword from you would be harder. Who would have thought that all it took was a punch to your stomach." Neah said smugly as he waved Kanda's sword in the air. He calculated the Samurai's movement with disdain as the swordsman got up. He thinks that I wouldn't do anything to him. Or more like he thinks that I wouldn't have a reason to go against him.

"14th, give me my sword back." Kanda said in a calculating tone. "I need to find Cecelia, unless you know where she is."

"I'll tell you where she is….. if …. you can take your sword back." Neah said with a wide grin on his face.

"No one wants to play your fucked up game! Tell me where the hell Cecelia is!" Kanda growled but was answered with Neah dropping his sword on the ground and kicking it to the wall behind him. "Waiting..." Neah said nonchalantly and he folded his arms and smiled smugly at the samurai.

Kanda gritted his teeth in frustration before he charged at the man, Neah took a step to his side to avoid the impact only to realized that the man's aim was not at him, but at his sword. Neah smirked as he quickly punched Kanda in the gut to prevent him from reaching the sword. As Kanda stumbled backward to steady himself, Neah slammed his fist into Kanda's chin and watched with a satisfied grin on his face as Kanda slammed into the wall behind him.

Kanda swiftly lunged at Neah, all prior thoughts of his katana completely forgotten. With a steely determined look, Kanda's fist connected with the musician's jaw.

Neah responded by punching Kanda in the stomach, as Kanda doubled over in pain, Neah elbowed Kanda in the back of his head. The musician push Kanda against the wall next to the front door; as he made impact with the wall, Kanda slid down the wall in slight exhaustion and pain.

The older man smiled smugly at the gasping and panting samurai sitting against the wall. "They said Karma is a bitch, but they never mentioned that an angry uncle's payback is worst." Neah said calmly.

"What the hell are you talking about!" Kanda snarled.

Neah suddenly grabbed Kanda by the collar of his uniform and slammed his body back on the wall again. "YOUR DAMN AFFAIR, JACKASS!" screamed Neah into Kanda's face.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Kanda yelled back as he detached his collar from the musician's grip and stumbled back onto the wall again.

Seeing an opening, Neah dove in to land another hit but was stopped as he felt a cold metal on the side of his neck. "Wha-" Neah process the image in front of him and realized that Kanda had gotten his hands on his sword. When did he…. Fuck, he was directing the fight towards the sword next to the front door. That clever jackass stumbled back multiple times on purpose to get to his sword!

"Now tell me where the hell Cecel-"

"YUUUUUUUU I came to talk to YUUUU." Both men freezed when they heard a car door slam shut. "Wow, Yuu, you must be saving electricity-" Lavi frozen as he saw the scene in front of him.


Third PoV but with Allen and Lenalee

Allen tugged nervously at his jacket. "I don't know if this is going to work."

"Oh, come one Allen, hustle up!" Lenalee said, wincing every time the girl/boy pouted.

"I-I don't think this is going to work…. This is of course, is one of Komui's plans." Allen said as he remember how many Komlins he had to fight in the last month.

"Yeah…. but he really tried on this one. And he doesn't like to put anybody in danger…. not in this case anyways." Lenalee said hesitantly as she remembered how many people he sent to the infirmary due to his own messed up experiments. " B...but at least you look cute!" Lenalee said changing the subject to observing the outfit that Johnny had chosen. Allen was wearing an all black jacket, denim jeans, and black converses.

Allen shuffled his feet as he muttered, "It's depressing."

Lenalee frowned as she asked, "the clothes? But Johnny was the one who picked it out for you."

Quietly Allen shook his head, "no, not the clothes, my problem is Kanda." As Allen let out a sigh, Lenalee quickly tensed up. "Can you help me with something Lenalee… if… if you had a boyfriend and he stopped talking to you as much and he's not around most of the time and you feel like there's an icy fort between the two of you, what would you do?" Allen said, hoping that one of his best friends could help him with this situation.

What am I supposed to say! Tell him to work harder for the relationship so they could get back together and this guilt might disappear or tell him to just break it off with Kanda to get him out of the picture!? "...I think that you could try to work it out and … if all else fails then the relationship was not meant to be." Lenalee said 'helpfully' as she forced a smile on her face. "Besides, everybody is different in their own way, I really can't help you with Kanda. He's more like a special case."

Allen's face shot up with surprise. " H… how did you know this situation was with Kanda?"

"Ummm.. I just assumed because Kanda's the only person you're with right now anyways." Lenalee said nervously.

"... only?" Allen muttered as he started walking toward the suspect's house, not noticing that the Lenalee was sweating bullets when she realized that the might have put the thoughts of loyalty in a relationship into Allen's head. This is going to be a long mission….


FlashBack to Lavi and Unknown's conversation.

"By keeping your mouth shut for the time being."

Lavi's eyes widened as he spotted the person in the room. "Wha- what are you doing here!" He said as he scrambled back from the shock.

"Observing. Allen Walker is a powerful and important asset to the Black Order. Being a General on an extended break that defeated the Noah clan and much much more, I was assigned a mission to make sure the mental health of the man is stable."

Lavi gave out a laugh, "so this affair that Yuu is having must be putting a large monkey wrench into you mission, ya?"

"Not necessarily, so long as Yuu Kanda keeps his husband from finding out, Allen Walker will not be on the verge of mentally unstable."

"Whoa, wait up, Allen's not like one of the patients he treats. He's perfectly stable and strong!" Lavi said indignantly.

"No wonder you never reached the title of Bookman. Ask Allen's father and you'll find out just how unstable your friend is." And with that said, the man walked out of the room, leaving a dumbstruck former bookman apprentice behind.

For the rest of the day, Lavi had his head up in the clouds as he contemplated on what he heard. Allen? Unstable? It was the first time the junior bookman ever heard of that and he thoroughly refused to accept it.

"OH! Maybe the old panda will know more about it!" Suddenly Lavi found himself getting kicked in the head and ended up kissing the floor shortly afterwards.

"WHAT THE HELL! DO YOU HAVE A SIXTH SENSE!" Lavi screamed as he bolt back up. "How the hell can someone so old hear or move so wel-" and ended up kissing the floor yet again.

"Damn it! Stop Kicking me! I'm thinking about something important!" Lavi exclaimed while rubbing the growing bump on his head.

"What is it about?"

"What do you know about Allen's mental stability." The question blurted out before the bookman could do anything. As the question left Lavi's mouth, he notice how his mentor had turned on his defenses that he would usually use to keep information secure.

Lavi sighed, "you know something… Ya know, we aren't bookmen anymore, we don't have to keep secrets from everybody."

"Of course know that, but some secrets are personal. All I can tell you is that he's not unstable… more like insecure, but blaming it on stability is easier." And with that note, the former bookman left.

After a few moments Lavi screamed, "UGHHH what the fuck does that mean!" Being at his wits end with the ridules, Lavi stomped his way out of the building and decided to talk to the Allen's father to find out more information of the youngest Walker. "Has the sprout been hiding something after all this time?"

Lavi nervously walked toward the house, unsure how to bring up the topic. After Lavi knock on the door, Mana came out with surprised clearly showing on his face as he saw one of Allen's best friends standing outside of his door. "Lavi is it? What is the matter?" Mana said cautiously and quietly as he had to keep in mind that Cecelia was just previously knocked out by Neah.

"Uhhh… I was wondering if I could ask a few questions about Allen? Would ya mind?" Lavi said nervously.

"... Sure, come in but be quiet, Cecelia just fell asleep." Mana said as he opened the door wider, giving the former bookman apprentice clearance to walk through the door.

As Allen walked in the door, he observed the three empty cups of coffee on the table and multiple empty boxes of mitarashi dango scattered around the coffee table. "So Allen came by today?" Lavi quietly asked, unable to restrain his own curiosity.

"Yes" Mana said without bothering to lower his voice. "Now tell me, why are you here."

Lavi decided to follow suit with his voice and began to explain why he was there. and the question that plagued him all day.


With Allen!

It was the middle of the night and pitch dark outside. The perfect time for a confrontation between Allen and the said criminal.

Allen boldly stood in front of the target's driveway as he fiddle with the iphone he was assigned, playing a simple app game, not even knowing the name of the game.

A few minutes ago Lenalee filled Allen in with the plan. He was supposed to act like a typical spoiled rich teenager who apparently was weak and wanted an escape from her 'life'. Completely vulnerable for the claws of the criminal, whom Allen had already forgot his name. Somehow, I feel like this plan is going to flop.

"Little girl, aren't you supposed to be home?" A man said suddenly walking toward the girl.

Caucasian, 5"8', mustache, and expensive suit. All features match.

"I'm not a little girl and I don't see how this is any of your business. Old men should just mind their own business and buzz off. You're not a pheophile are you?" Allen said in an offhanded voice, successfully bring herself into the man's radar.

"No of course I'm not! You're just standing in front of my driveway and I became curious. I was just taking a stroll before I retire for the evening." The man said friendly.

Lies, you were probably snooping around dark alleys to see if there were any victims for you to claim. Even if you are a boss of a human trafficking chain, your poker face is flawed and and your excuses have holes in them. Who the hell wears an expensive suit to go for a walk!

"I'm not on your driveway, as you said, I'm in front of it not on it. Anyways, the ground in front of your driveway is government property. There are no rules or restrictions for me to be standing on it. So mind your own business." Allen said hauntly carefully observing the reactions of the man in front of him.


Teehee, haunty Allen was fun to write!

Welp, R&R, this chapter was so difficult to write because midterms were on my mind! And because I didn't know how to really made a good confrontation between Neah and Kanda.

Oh well, at least I got to the 2k word minimum alright.

See you next time my awesome readers!

Please review! How was the confrontation between Kanda and Neah? Lavi and Unknown? Allen and the Bad guy whose name I am still unsure of?

Please excuse the grammer mistakes and FOLLOW….. Favoriting the story would be awesome too.
