Hey guys, hugs to wlock900. Yeah, I thought it was funny too.

I don't own d.gray-man, or Harry Potter or the Dymocks bookstore chain.

The four exorcists approached the entrance of the hidden cave.

'So there was a hidden entrance down here all this time?' Allen asked in disbelief.

'Yup, sure was,' Lavi grinned, clinging to Jamie's back, 'Sorry I never told you, woulda made things easier for you, huh?'

'Let's just go before they realize we're here…' Kanda said grumpily, walking forward.

The others followed. Jamie craned his neck slightly so he could see Lavi, whom he was carrying on his back.

'How you doing back there?'

'Fine; your back is surprisingly comfortable.'

'Glad to hear it. Uh, but are you sure you have to come? I'm fine carrying you, but you don't have innocence and I might have to drop you suddenly.'

'I'll be fine. It's what I'm here for, to watch what happens here. Even if I'm probably going to die it's still my job.'

'Don't talk like that, Lavi,' Allen stopped and turned to look at him, 'I'm sure we'll be fine.'

Lavi grinned at him and the boy went back to walking. Lavi sighed. Allen had told him he was sure it was a death mission last night, but he was putting on a brave face now, but he decided not to darken the mood by pointing it out. After a while of walking in silence, they came to the end of the tunnel, a ladder screwed into the back wall with a blocked hole up above. Kanda climbed up the ladder and pushed up hard; the block fell away and moonlight streamed through. Kanda hauled himself up through the hole, stood up and looked around. He was in the forest outside of the order, the block, now revealed to be one of the few rocks that littered the woods. He turned to see Allen climbing through, the stopping to help Jamie drag up Lavi. Lavi looked utterly embarrassed that he was being handled like a doll, but there really was no other choice if he wanted to come, as bringing his chair was out of the question.

'Well now what?' Jamie enquired.

'We find our way out of the forest, sneak in and do what we came to do,' Kanda answered, turning away, 'I would have thought that obvious.'

Everyone sweatdropped and started walking. After a few minutes, Lavi noticed something sparkle out of the corner of his eye and looked around to see a gold necklace hanging from the tree they were passing.

'Hey! Look at that!'

Everyone except Kanda stopped. Allen reached up and plucked the necklace out of the branches and looked at it.

'That's weird, it's one of those half heart necklaces where there are two and you give one to your girlfriend.'

At this, Kanda did stop. He turned around and walked back to take a closer look. Lavi looked at him in surprise, and then suddenly noticed there was a necklace identical to the one Allen was holding hanging around Kanda's neck, poking out of his shirt. Kanda sensed what he was staring at and glared, buttoning up his exorcist coat quickly.

'Come on,' Kanda said stiffly, yanking the necklace out of Allen's hand and pocketing it, 'This is stupid, we have Noahs to destroy. You wanna go look at jewelry? Go back to Paris, you bunch of women.'

The samurai turned away and quickly strode deeper into the trees. Allen rolled his eyes.

'Women? Us? He's got no right to call us that with a face like that…'

'That's true,' Jamie nodded, 'He's probably just jealous the necklace is prettier then him.'

Allen and Jamie had to hold back chuckles, and then looked at Lavi, who normally would have been in stitches after a comment like that, but instead was looking sad and thoughtful.

'Lavi? You alright?'

'Hm, what? Oh…Yeah, it's just…I think that we should keep going.'

The other two exorcists nodded and started to follow Kanda. Lavi narrowed his eyes…or eye….Thinking. He was starting to get a picture in his head about that necklace. If Yuu was wearing one half, and the other half had been given to a girl then thrown out a window…

'NO WAY!' He cried, gripping Jamie's shoulders. The blond and white haired exorcists looked at him. He sweatdropped.

'Um….I just figured out what happens at the end of Harry Potter seven.'

'What?' Jamie said in disbelief, 'But you're not even reading it right now.'

'Yeah….But I'm on the last few chapters and I'm forming theories. A Bookman's brain can give a lot of spoilers away if I think about something too hard.'

'Well then don't tell us anything,' Allen instructed, 'If we live through this I wanna get it from Dymocks.'

Lavi grinned and nodded, unable to believe they were that they believed him.

'Harry Potter,' He thought, grinning, 'No one likes spoilers…'

Kanda strode through the trees in the direction of the order, a storm of emotions whirling around inside him. After getting over the heartbreak the fact Clara had thrown the necklace had caused him, he felt angry, unable to believe he had thought she would have done otherwise. After all, she was a Noah, a being who enjoyed causing other people pain. Treating something precious like that really shouldn't have come as any surprise.

Kanda felt tempted to hit himself. He had been carrying his half around for the last year, wondering secretly if maybe Clara kept her half, if maybe she was still good, and now this had ripped his dreams apart at last. He felt a burning in the corner of his eyes and raised his hand briefly to brush tears away before the others could see it. A heart really was a useless, hurtful thing to have.

'Then why do you still have the necklaces?' A voice in his head asked, 'Why haven't you thrown them away yet?'

'They're my parents' necklaces; I'm not going to do that to their last belongings.'

'Che, poor guy, you really don't see. They were in love too, you know. Look where that got them. Caring for anything or anyone gets you no-where except the grave in the end.'

Kanda clenched his fist, willing the voice to go away, the words a truthful poison to his mind, making his heart ache and his mind spin as everything he had once thought got re-arranged. He had no need for a heart or anyone one, or anything, so why was he trying to help stop the end of the world? It was useless. They would all die in the end anyway.

Suddenly, he felt someone collide with his back. Turning, he saw Allen smiling up at him.

'Oops, sorry Kanda didn't realize you stopped. It's so dark still…'

'Che, whatever, Beansprout…'

He brushed past Allen and started walking the other way. Jamie and Lavi stopped as he walked past him.

'Yuu-Chan!' Lavi called, 'What are you doing?'

'I'm going.'

'WHAT?!' the other three shouted in union.

'You can't leave!' Jamie shouted, 'We have to kill the Noah family!'

'Che, that's never going to work, just face it. The world is dead, might as well go enjoy what's left of our pitiful existence. I'll see you guys later…In hell, maybe…'

'No way are we letting you do that!' Allen screamed, running up to him and grabbing his arm, preventing him from going further, 'Kanda, I don't know what happened to change your mind like this, but we need everyone we can get to help win this war! I'm no gonna let you give up and go wait for the end in some bar!'

Kanda angrily whirled around, gripped Allen's collar and shoulder and threw him to the ground about a meter away. Allen sat up, gripping his sore arm, which he had landed on.

'What the hell, Yuu!' Lavi yelled from Jamie's back, 'How can you be so heartless!'

Kanda glared at them, and then turned away, staring up at the sky through the leaves. There was silence. Then-

'Che, sheesh, Eyepatch, I would a thought you of all people could understand that.'

Lavi's eyes widened, then his face regained his angry expression.

'Don't say that, it's my job!'

'Yeah, and a fine job you're doing. Look, I've cared about people in my life, and every single one have them has either left me or died. That's the fate of everyone, so why bother?'

Before anyone could answer, he walked away. Jamie and Lavi looked at Allen. Allen sighed.

'Let's go,' He said stiffly, walking towards the order.
