Disclaimer: I do not own D.Gray-Man. Hoshino Katsura does.
A/N: Hey hey people I'm back! I got back last night and I didn't write this then cause my brain had switched off and it was kinda about 1-4 a.m. in the morning. So, go figureshrugs. Anyways, I've come home safely, a few mosquito bites, darker skin from swimming, a kind of temper and dirty laundry which is in desperate need of washing. I hope you enjoy this chapter though its bound to be very bad because I'm lacking in sleep and in food cause I was up at 4 something this morning and I fell asleep then woke up again at 8+. Alright. Thanks to all who reviewed and added me to whichever good category stuffs. yawn I hope my ideas sprout up soon. Maybe I'll get some chocolate to perk me up? Anyways, Here is the 10th Chapter. Enjoy.
"Ow!" Allen screeched as he hit the ground hard after being pulled out of the portal. "Allen-kun!" a voice behind him exclaimed. Allen spun around to see Lenalee's face staring down at him. He smiled. "I'm okay," he said as he tried to stand. Kanda had just gotten up. He was dusting his exorcist uniform hastily. "Baka Moyashi. Next time get someone else to come save you," Kanda grunted irritably. "Whatever Kanda. And my name is ALLEN!" Kanda completely ignored the younger exorcist's remark. "Jerk," Allen muttered to himself. "Allen-kun, we should get back to headquarters. You're bleeding a lot," Lenalee said as the words escaped from her lips in a quiet whisper.

Allen glanced up to face Lenalee's face. Her eyes were clouded by worry and relief at the same time he could see. "Anyways," Kanda's voice broke the silence, "we should get going and head back to headquarters to call Komui and the others to fix the other beansprout's house in this dimension." He looked down at Allen, still sitting on the ground in a somewhat pained position, who nodded.
Allen attempted to get up in vain. Lenalee offered to help and she and Lavi let Allen put his arms around their shoulders and work as his support. "Right let's get going. Are you-" she stopped short. The boy from before had disappeared?! She looked around in frustration. He was nowhere in sight. "Vivere? Are you gonna open that portal soon? Allen's kinda heavy here…" Lavi called. "Hey!" Allen's voice echoed from the same direction. "You can put me down if you like! No one asked you to help!" he continued. Vivere giggled before catching up to Miranda who was still holding time to allow the exorcists time to prepare for treatment when they got back to HQ.
"Miranda-senpai, are you okay? I mean, you've been holding time for a long time now…" Vivere said quietly to the older exorcist. "I'm fine." Vivere looked up at the brown haired woman. "I'm able to go about activating my innocence for more than ten days so don't worry okay?" Vivere's jaw dropped open. "T-Ten days!? Without sleep?!" she exclaimed in utter surprise. The older woman nodded. Vivere's jaw hung open as she pondered about it. "Okay, we're back at the exact same place we exited from; the second floor of Feliske-chan's house," the white haired exorcist declared. He had regained his balance and could stand without falling over so easily now. "Uh, minus the whole house though," stated Lavi as he looked around him at the leftover carnage from their recent battle. "Right, Vivere, let's go." Vivere nodded before activating her innocence. "Innocence, activate!"
Lahquitz immediately responded and Vivere slashed open a portal for dimensional travelling. "Alright, it's good to go. Jump in guys, Miranda and I will go in last," Vivere announced. Kanda stepped in without hesitation. It was clear he wanted to get back to HQ quickly and get some rest. Lavi hopped in shortly after followed by Lenalee and Allen whose wounds had vanished with the effect of Miranda's innocence. Vivere motioned to Miranda to stop invocating her innocence and step into the portal. Miranda did so hastily and Vivere followed suit just as her portal closed. From a tower somewhere high above where Vivere and company had been, Kaze stood, robe flapping in the wind. "Don't worry, Vivere-chan. I'll see you soon." And with that, he vanished.

Komui stood at the new exorcist's bedside. The young girl lay fast asleep tucked in securely and Bookman watching her closely. Suddenly an urgent knock on the door that was the entrance to the room caught his attention. Getting up from his sitting position, Komui walked towards the entrance of the room and stepped outside. There stood a panting Reever who seemed as if he had run a long distance to get to the Supervisor. "What is it Reever?" Komui said with a serious tone. "Lenalee and the others have returned safely Supervisor Komui. They're in your office. Shall we head there?" Reever asked still somewhat panting from the long distance which he had run. "Yep let's go. Let's hurry." With that, the two men left hastily.
-
"Yeesh. Where's Komui when you need him?" Lavi whined impatiently. He and the others sat in Komui's office on one of the tattered red velvet sofas which had once been in their full glory. They had suffered the aftermath of Komui's Komurin fights and as a result, had lost their shine. Miranda still had her innocence activated to keep her companions out of pain for the moment.
"Lenalee-chan!" Komui's call echoed through the corridor and reached the ears of Lenalee who was sitting quietly in his office. "Komui-nii's approaching!" Lenalee stated quietly as she drew her next breath uneasily. She was sure that she would get smothered in brotherly love the moment he arrived at his office and laid eyes on her.
Sure enough, Komui came rushing in and everyone knew what was about to happen next. Lenalee prepared to be smothered in brotherly love and closed her eyes. However, in the next five seconds nothing happened. Lenalee open one eye then the other. What she saw in front of her was a first. Komui stood in front of her with worried eyes. "Lenalee, are you alright?" he said in a serious tone. Lenalee blinked before answering. "Yes, I'm perfectly fine." Komui's face lit up a little and the Supervisor turned to Allen and the others who were seated a short distance away from where he and Lenalee stood. "Are you all alright?" he asked apprehensively.
Allen and the others nodded; except for Kanda because he had a mentality of, "If you can't tell that I'm perfectly fine, you must be blind."
Komui let out a sigh of relief but stopped short when he noticed that Miranda had her innocence invocated. His face darkened. "Miranda, stop invocating your innocence," he ordered coldly. Miranda realized where this was going. "Yes, Komui-san."
In an instant, Lenalee's legs returned to their original state, bite marks left by the hungry cannibal golems clearly imprinted all over her legs.
Lavi's clothes returned back to their tattered and torn appearance as they had been after his battles with Noah and Akuma alike. Wounds returned to their places on his cheeks and back. His arms scratched and bruised.
Allen's bloody form returned as did time, his deep wounds reappeared and blood stained the sofa he sat on. His eye bled furiously and soon enough, the floor was stained with blood; his and that of his friends who had deep bleeding wounds.
Miranda sustained mere scratches having been protected constantly.
Vivere's feet though they had been protected by tough platform boots were scratched and as for her legs, it seemed that the deep cut searing through her right leg would eventually form into a scar which would always remind her of that battle on her first ever mission.
Kanda was almost spotless except for the few scratches on his hands and a little dust in his dark silky hair.
Komui was horrified. He ran to Reever to get him to fetch Bookman who was still with Feliske in her room. The rest of the science group who were in the office stared in sheer horror at the exorcists, apostles of god which had been said to be those that would save humanity from its demise. And what's more, the Destroyer of Time. He was the most wounded of the group of exorcists. Wasn't the boy supposed to be able to defeat the Earl? Hushed whispers could be heard from the group of scientists present at the time.
The whispers subsided when Komui punched his desk forcefully. "Tell the truth next time! All I need is the truth!" The exorcists held their heads sadly. Then, Lenalee spoke up. "Nii-san, I think we shouldn't be bickering about the past but instead helping everyone who's wounded…Especially Allen-kun…right?" At this, Komui's head shot up, a surprised look on his face as he saw his sisters silent tears fall to the floor.

A/N: No it's not the end yet. And I know you know that so heck! XD Anyways, I'm sorry it got a little tensionny. I dunno what came over me but it seems looks okay to me Anyways onwards!
-
Allen blacked out and all he could hear were the sounds of his friends calling desperately to him as light faded from sight and darkness engulfed him.
"I think I lost too much blood… Is that it? Is that why I blacked out? It hurts…I hope this pain stops…soon…"
-
When Allen awoke, he saw an unfamiliar face looking at him. Bright light blue orbs stared at him. Allen's eyes flew open and the words came out faster than Allen had expected, "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" It seemed to Allen that he had startled the boy by his sudden outburst. Lenalee entered the room having heard the noise from the neighbouring room. "Kaze? Is there anything wrong in here?" Lenalee questioned the boy. Allen was startled. How long had he been asleep? He didn't know but he was going to find out.
"Lenalee? H-How long have I been asleep…?" Allen stammered. Lenalee looked in his direction with wide eyes. "Allen-kun! Thank goodness you're finally awake!" Lenalee said running to Allen and giving him a big hug. "You've been out for a week! You won't guess what happened!" Allen's eyes widened as the information sunk in. A week?! "I'll go tell everyone that Allen-kun has woken up, alright Lena-nee?" the blue eyed boy offered. "Thanks a lot Kaze. That'd be a huge help," came Lenalee's grateful reply. 'Kaze? Who's that? Is he that boy I caught staring at me with those cold blue eyes?' Allen thought to himself.
"Allen-kun! I have so much to tell you! That boy, Kaze, he's the one who helped us in the battle! He's the one who helped Vivere open a portal to Road's dimension and save you!" Lenalee exclaimed, tears of utter happiness fell from her eyes and wet Allen's shoulder. His eyes widened before softening as he realized something. Lenalee was still hugging him tightly and Allen began to blush crimson. "Uh, Lenalee, you can stop hugging me now. I'm not going anywhere." Lenalee was startled. She had never hugged anyone other than her brother like that before. "Ah," Lenalee said blushing as a smiling Allen looked up at her from his bed, "I'm sorry." Lenalee looked away from Allen. Allen turned away as well and just as he did so, Lavi entered the room. "Allen-kun! Welcome back..?" Lavi glanced at his two companions who seemed to be blushing and snickered. This was going to be fun.
-
Komui walked hurriedly through the halls and corridors of the Black Order. News that Allen had woken up had reached is office and he had been told that everyone was heading towards Allen's room and that they would brief him on the happenings in the order from almost everyone's point of view-except for Kanda. He was out on a mission and had he been there, he wouldn't have come anyways. Just as he arrived, he saw Lavi enter, seemingly not noticing him. Stepping up to the little opening in the door, he saw his Lenalee blushing while facing away from Allen. Allen too was doing the same but was facing away from Lenalee.
What might this mean?
A/N: Okay. I'm beat. I took a whole day to get this done. -upside down and smiling- I'm so hungry… Since the chapter is done, I'm gonna take a break from writing…-yawn-

Iceflakes: Yea…Hey, I don't see Lenalee. Where's she today?
Allen: Oh she's gone to bed. She didn't sleep during the flight back from Jakarta remember? But I did. Plus, she was always talking to you and so she's kinda tired.
