I don't own D. Gray Man or the 35 ways. Pikana inspired this. Enjoy!

11. When she's scared…Protect her

Breeze's fingers arched back and forth in boredom and her pointed, long nails were digging into the invisible air or the metal bar under her. A smirk donned her lips as the exorcist's eyes locked on her in surprise. Her little figure was perched on a thin ledge of the enclosed room. The walls were lined with mirrors with irregular angles and sharp turns. They just looked at her with her little gray kitten dozing on her lap. Their expressions were bewildered. Her molten eyes turned to cattish slits and an annoyed hiss came out. They doubted her just because she was small. The gray kitten on her lap reacted to her emotions and awoke from its daze. His golden eyes narrowed into slits much like Breeze. Breeze stood up and held a small hand under the kitten's rump, allowing it to climb up her chest, to her shoulder and on top her flurry of pink hair.

"Who…?" The small girl took a step off the high rail as if she would walk on air. She fell with her back facing the ground and the kitten's tail streaming right by her nose. The group of exorcists blinked wondering why she would just…try to kill herself there… Her body twisted in mid air as would a cat's would and her hands and feet hit the ground without even a thump! It was as if she hadn't even touched the ground. She glared at them with her almost luminescent gold eyes.

"I'm your worst nightmare." She stepped back without even an introduction to herself personally. Her little body faded into the mirror behind her. It was deadly quiet and the rustles of cloth could be heard as her image flashed through the mirrors. A small, cattish giggle was heard. "What's wrong, exorcists? Can't find me?" There was a hiss and claws dug into the back of Lavi's neck. "Watch out…I just may get 'cha." The red haired exorcist recoiled with a swing from his hammer that batted the girl away with ease. A yelp left her lips, but she twisted her body again and landed perfectly silent. There were shards of the mirror Lavi hit and she pursed her lips in annoyance. "That's not nice." Her back arched and she placed her hands on the ground, arching her fingers and spreading them out as a feline would do. The gray kitten sat on her back in nearly the same position. Their gold eyes glinted, scanning for the weak points in their enemies' guards. Breeze hissed and images of Cheshire Cats popped up all around her with their crescent moon grins plastered creepily all around. They all floated towards the exorcist and puffed out into dark haze that obscured the view and darkened the room considerably. A swishing noise resonated throughout to room and little flashes of golden lava were seen all around.

As the smoke cleared, a large…monstrous…beast was seen, lurking right in front of the exorcists. It was cat-like, but completely massive. It had two large eyes that were narrowed in slits of molten gold. The gray fur hung tight to its overly large, but lean frame with the light gray tinge of its natural color and the pulsating purple rosettes and stripes running the course of its body. The fangs in its massive jaws were colossal and stretched out. Its paws were completely and utterly humongous and could easily break a bone in their bodies. Two long tails stretched out its rump and swished angrily with long metal hooks on them end. A metal plate covered the Cat's forehead and chest and trailed back in easy-movement links that had spikes tailing from the scale like links and all the way back to its tails. With a massive snarl of rage, it pounced on the exorcists.

Breeze, on the other hand, was fully concentrating on keeping the cat's appearance whole. Perhaps it wasn't solid, but the image and curious circumstance of not being able to hit it made it all the better while her strategy still formed. The monstrous illusion was simply a cloak for her kitten. Sure...she had the power to make the kitten grow into a full grown beast, but that wasn't exactly perfected… She was so intent on concentrating and getting her kitten to lead them to the corner where she could release the illusion and takes advantage of their position; her perceptive eyes didn't see one of them separate from the group and jump on the sidelines. When cold metal of innocence bit her arm, an involuntary hiss slipped from her lips and her illusion dropped. The kitten blinked and scrambled back to his counterpart.

The Noah stared at the white haired boy with cold, calculating gold eyes. They weren't slit angrily, but watched creepily like the kitten on her back with a similar expression on his taut muzzle. She grabbed the cat and leapt backwards with a hiss. The cat closed his gold eyes and seemed to fade into Breeze's chest with nothing but the silhouette for a few second that too disappeared seconds later. Breeze smirked, Feeling the kitten's soul mix with hers with a slightly sickening, fluttery feeling in her body. She shivered as her teeth and nails morphed into razor-sharp fangs and lengthy, deadly claws replaced her everyday nails. Dark gray tabby stripes dotted her skin and a select few dots and rosettes of the kitten's intricate pelt were painted across her. Her arms were covered and they also speckled her cheeks and forehead. Her eyes were narrowed dangerously and her lips were drawn back, emphasizing the sharpened fangs.

With a snarl and a more refined sight, she pounced on Allen. Her body collided with the innocence in his hand and she clutched the sides with her claws and her long hair bristled. Her feet pushed her off of it and onto the ground. With a roll sideways, she avoided the steel in Allen's grip and was able to retaliate by knocking him over and pinning him down. Her claws knocked into his jaw a few times in quick succession and scored a few cuts across his face, but she was knocked off by a big hammer slamming her off and knocking her sideways. She crashed into a mirror and shattered the pane of glass. The shards joined the others on the floor that reflected the light that way and that with their clear, shiny surface.

She smirked and her form sunk sunk into the ground, disappearing for a sheer second into the shattered bits of mirror on the ground and moving along the wall of remaining mirrors like a ghost. Her fleeting image passed with such intense speed, her rosy hair looks like a spatter of pale blood across the reflective mirrors.

Lavi watched her flutter by them teasingly, predicting her movements with his analytical mind. His green eyes snapped open and his oversized hammer slammed into the exact mirror the image of her feline self has appeared in. The glass shattered and flew all around them with the impact, but she was still nowhere to be seen. Lavi's emerald eyes widened. He was wrong? A brush of air swept past his cheek with lethal, precise accuracy and he felt the skin on her cheek and shoulder split cleanly. The smell of strawberries passed his nose and a warm whisper that was scented like strawberriesthe same fruit mixed with vanilla cream teased his hair. "Nice Aim." The little girl skipped back a few graceful steps and the scuff of her feet that scraped delicately over the ground was inaudible. The blood dripped down his cheek from the three shallow cuts the Noah had managed to inflict. It wasn't painful; everything was too clean and shallow for pain, but the drip drip of the blood on her claws and the ominous red liquid that dripped from the redhead's cheek made the situation worse…she was fooling around.

Those long claws she harbored could easily slice open his throat if he wasn't careful and the fangs were just as deadly. One of the talons, the longest one in the middle, had cut the deepest with its length and the crimson liquid plipped onto the floor making the quiet silence suspenseful. It flicked upwards and her pink lips hovered just above the sharpness. They were stained red as she closed her lips around the ends of the dangerous tip. She pulled out the sharp claw and ran her tongue over her stained lips. "hm…?" She questioned, not stating her particular question. With a sadistic grin, she flew back into battle with a renewed sense of fight in her system, her spindly claws raised high.

The fought for what seemed like eternity with smashing blows to both sides, Breeze fazing in and out of the mirrors and coming in close quarters with her claws the exorcists launching their own special attack towards the female. Some landed, some were parried and most of them missed on both sides. Breeze seemed to be winning, even though blood dribbled down her body and invisible bruises littered her charcoal and tabby striped skin. She felt her body slam into a married wall and the shards of glass get stuck in her spine like a porcupine spikes. A mangled yelp flew from her lips, but fingers of steel pressed her against the wall and gnawed at her tender throat flesh with the white-hot innocence eating at it and causing much more pain that prevented more than a strangled gurgle to escape. She thrashed and kicked and screamed like a wild cat, but nothing pried the grip off of her.

Breeze stared down at the exorcist in front of her with wide, metallic eyes. This wasn't the end, was it…? His silver eyes glared her down (figuratively) and she shivered, knowing that yes, this really could be it. The massive, spindly black claws on his fingers twitched against her veins in her neck that was in his grip, knowing that he really should dispose of the pathetic female Noah right now, but Allen Walker was a kind fellow. There shouldn't be death to a human…even a Noah human… Breeze closed her eyes and went limp, letting the rosy locks of hair she had shade her dripping eyes from sight.

"Blue Bullet!"

A shot rang out and Allen Walker barely had time to jump as the frosty bullet raced by and froze the nearby wall. The pinkette's eyes dripped water as she slumped to the floor. The two figures in front of her fired shot after shot after the exorcist. They looked back and gave her a small look of annoyance and relief.

"We thought we told you not to mess up."

"Jasdevi will take it from here, hii!"

Anyone want to guess Breeze's powers? It does involve the cat for the second half, but her what do you think her main power is? This fight scene I wasn't too sure about since it's my first D. Gray Man fight scene. Tell me how I did! I got a bit bored at the end, so if it seems rushed, I apoligize. I may remake this chapter eventually.

Three reviews! Thanks!
Vira: Thank you! :) I saw Jasdero as more of the person to do that instead of Jasdevi or Devit. The cat is a gray tabby male with a few rosettes (note the short description above) and gold Noah eyes (since he technically is a part of Breeze in a way). I can try and find a picture if you want a visiual. The fail breakfast is the chapter before I believe about Breeze's fail day. XP

Starfire: Take a guess at her power. :) It's actually quite simple. By the way, the button is pleased and would like you to keep answering it's calls.

Ninja Trio's Best: Epicness should be every time, but this is the promised kick ass chapter. Tell me how I did.
