Sorry for the late update. I don't own d.gray-man.

And since Kanda's undergone a slight personality change, he's probably gonna be slightly ooc from now on, sorry.

Oh, and I don't know how old Jasdevi are, but they look fifteen to me.

Oh, and one more thing…Why is it when bad guys are transforming or are doing monologues the good guys always wait, missing the perfect opportunity to strike while the villain is distracted?

Jamie yelled in surprise and dodged an Akuma bullet as it whizzed towards him. Swinging his hook very fast, he sent it towards the Akuma and the metal ploughed into it, blowing it up.

'Hell yeah!' He grinned, punching the air, 'Another one for me!'

But his victory was short-lived. Before anything else could happen, there was a mechanical sound behind him, and a pressure against the back of his sandy-blond head. He tensed.

'Never let your guard down, exorcist!' He heard a demonic voice cackle behind him.

'Crap,' Jamie thought, 'guess this is it for me.'

He heard the gun loading, but suddenly he heard someone yell, and the pressure on the back of his head was gone. Turning, he saw the Akuma had been replaced by Kanda, who was wiping Akuma blood off his blade onto his coat.

'Kanda!' Jamie exclaimed, 'You're back!'

'Yeah, I got bored. And Where's Beansprout and Eyepatch?'

'I left Lavi in a room on the other side of the building. I'm not sure where Allen is.'

'Well he has to be here somewhere.'

The samurai clenched his blade in his fist and strode past the Australian exorcist towards the door on the other side of the room. He stopped and turned.

'Oi, Blondie, you coming?'

'Uh, yeah!' Jamie nodded, running to catch up with the older boy. As the two of them started making their way deeper into the order, Jamie stole a glance at Kanda. He seemed different.

--

Lavi destroyed the remaining three Akuma in the hall with his fire seal, then let himself collapse against the Wall, exhausted and panting. Despite himself, he could feel his eyelids getting heavy. He was extremely tired and he wanted to sleep, but he hadn't even found Allen and the others yet.

Mustering the last of his strength, he pushed himself up off the floor, using hi extended hammer to brace himself. His legs shook violently, threatening to buckle.

'Not good…' He hissed under his breath.

'Aw,' Cooed a sweet voice, 'Are you tired, exorcist?'

Lavi looked up to see Road Kamelot skipping towards him. He gasped and gripped the handle of his hammer harder and lifted it to pound the girl, but lost his balance on his weak legs and stumbled to the ground.

'SHIT!' He exclaimed, tears in his eyes.

Road giggled as she came closer. She bent down and stroked his head. He yelled and knocked her hand away, struggling to get back up.

'Are you looking for the black sheep?' She enquired.

Lavi shot her a suspicious glance, knowing she meant Clara. He gritted his teeth and managed to sit up.

'Where...Where is Clara?' He asked

'She's around…She's going to kill your friends. Though I got permission from the earl to spare Allen, I'm allowed to keep him as a doll. Now, what to do with you…..'

--

Kanda and Jamie skidded to a halt as they heard a high-pitch scream echo through the old building. They each felt a stab of fear as they recognized the cry.

'Lavi!' Jamie exclaimed, looking around at the different doors and passageways, trying to figure out where the sound came from, 'Damn, how did he get out here?'

Kanda didn't answer. He was feeling weird. The emotional wall in his heart had come down and he was realizing how scared he felt for the Eyepatch.

'Baka…' He muttered, before rushing in the direction of the sound. Jamie blinked in surprise and chased after him.

--

Kanda grabbed the knob of the door and pushed it open. Jamie stood on his toes, trying to see behind him. It was the cafeteria that the scream had come from, but looking around, they couldn't see any Akuma or Lavi. Kanda took a cautious step forward, growing suspicious. Jamie followed.

'Creepy,' He commented.

Suddenly, the door behind them slammed shut, a clicking noise indicating the lock sliding into place. They both glanced back at the door, and then turned back to the center of the room. A chair had appeared in the middle, and in that chair sat a Noah in a gothic Lolita dress, with long blood red hair and blank staring eyes. There was a strange, pink, see-through barrier surrounding her, about thirty meters in diameter. Jamie started walking forward.

'OI! Noah! Where's Lav…'

He stopped walking as he entered the barrier. Eyes going blank; he reached to his waist for his grapple hook and pushed one of the curved blades against his neck. Kanda cursed, rushed forward, reached into the barrier and pulled him out.

'Idiot!' Kanda said angrily, shaking the younger boy, 'Haven't you learned your lesson yet?'

Jamie didn't answer. His knees buckled and he slumped against the other exorcist, unconscious. Kanda growled angrily and lowered him to the ground. He straightened up again and looked through the barrier at the girl he knew was Clara, though she was barely recognizable. Her Hair was longer, the style changed from straight and brownish-red to curled and glossy. She was much skinnier then he remembered, making him wonder if the Noah family had bothered to feed their little "black sheep." In the center cross on her forehead was a blue crystal.

Suddenly, high-pitch laughter sounded through the cafeteria and a couple of Noah boys around fifteen appeared on either side of the chair. Their sudden appearance did nothing to make Clara react.

'Ooh, a really tall scary guy!' The boy with dark hair laughed, pointing.

'What ugly hair!' The blond one grinned, 'HE!'

A vein throbbed in Kanda's temple. He already hated them.

'Hey Clara.' Devit grinned, leaning down near the girls face and stroking her cheek, making the rage in Kanda boil up to a new level, 'See that guy? He's one of the people The Earl wants' you to kill. Extend your barrier to him so he kills himself, kay?'

Clara didn't react, but immediately the barrier started creeping slowly out, towards the samurai, leaving him nowhere to run.

'This barrier will make you fall in love with her so you'll do what she wants,' Jasdero explained, 'And she wants you to kill yourself! HE!'

Kanda swore under his breath, backing against the wall as the pink light chased after him, and then, it hit the walls, completely enveloping the space. Kanda closed his eyes, waiting for whatever was coming to come, then noticed…Nothing happened.

Opening his deep brown eyes, he looked up to see Jasdevi staring confusedly at him.

'This must be the guy who was unaffected by the barrier last time!' Devit exclaimed.

'NO FAIR!' The blond brother complained, stamping his foot, 'HOW DO YOU DO IT?!'

Kanda was wondering that himself. Her power was supposed to affect all men besides blood relatives' right? So he was either a blood relative, secretly a girl, or….

'I'm already in love with her…..' He realized, eyes widening.

'What was that?' The two Noah blinked in surprise.

'I'm already in love with her, to the point that I couldn't love her more. That's why the barrier doesn't affect me. Hm, interesting turn of events…'

He smirked, holding up his mugen, and charged. Jasdevi yelled in surprise and aimed their golden guns at him.

'BLUE BOMB!'

A ball of cold blue erupted from the pistols and flew towards him. He quickly dodged and it hit one of the long tables, turning it to ice.

'Nigentou!' Kanda cried, 'Hakka tourou!'

A second glowing blade appeared in his hand as he increased speed, quickly getting closer to the now panicking Noah, dodging every colored bomb fired from their guns.

Then, he reached them and slashed them both several times in quick succession with both blades. They both cried out in pain, stumbling back, bleeding.

'Damn you!' They both cried, aiming their guns at each others head. Then, to Kanda's surprise, they open-fired. But, however, neither of them died. Instead, their shadows swirled beneath them, becoming one, and smoke engulfed them. Kanda didn't know what was happening, but it wasn't good.

'Gotta get them before they finish! HAKKA TOUROU!'

Activating his illusion again, he rushed forward, slashing the mingling bodies with his blades. They screamed, and a bright light burst from their smoky bodies. Then, a great explosion knocked Kanda off his feet and darkness took him.

--

Lavi slowly opened his eye, his head pounding, unable to think where he was. He felt great sharp pains at various points of his body. After a moment, he raised his head and gasped. He was inside Road's dream world. Looking up, his eyes widened in horror. His wrists were nailed to the wall, dripping warm, thick blood down his arms.

'That explains the pain…' He thought bitterly. He was in sitting position, which was good as he could no longer feel his legs. He really had pushed himself way over the limit.

'Oh yay! Your awake!'

Lavi looked up to see Road flying towards him, riding that stupid talking umbrella.

'You sick bitch.' Lavi said flatly as she jumped down in front of him.

'Flattery will get you everywhere,' she giggled, bending down and lifting up his chin so they started into each others eyes. 'My, you're cute, almost as cute as Allen. Tell me, are you and Allen close?'

'What's it to you?'

'It's nothing really; I was just thinking I could use you to get Allen to come with me. Yeah, actually, it doesn't matter if you're close; he'll come if he thinks I'll kill you, which I will.'

She smirked, stood back and raised her hand. Ling, large cracks appeared along the wall, shaking it, causing Lavi to scream in pain as his wrist wounds were strained and stretched. Finally, the part of the wall Lavi was attached to broke free.

--

Allen looked around as there was a crashing sound, and to his shock, a large piece of green wall Allen recognized from Roads dream had landed in the middle of the hall. Lavi was nailed to it; he seemed to be in a lot of pain.

'Lavi!' Allen screamed in horror, rushing forward.

'Uh-uh…' Roads voice sounded through the building, her voice bitter-sweet. Allen froze, and there was a strange noise, and Road Appeared in Lavi's lap, holding a large knife to his neck.

'LET HIM GO ROAD!' Allen screamed, his voice cracking.

'Ok,' Road smiled sweetly, 'But you have to come with me, kay? You have to leave here and be my doll forever.'

Allen's eyes widened, staring at them, unsure what to do. If he didn't go with her, Lavi would die.

'Don't listen, Allen…' Lavi looked up, voice breaking from the effort of staying awake, 'If you go with her, she'll kill everyone anyway, but if you kill her now and let me die, no one else will have to!'

Allen stood still, unsure what to do. He didn't want anyone to die, but that included Lavi.

'Dammit…' He screamed in frustration, 'Where the hell is everyone?!'

'Exactly what i was thinking.' Came a painfully familiar voice that Allen normally would have hated hearing, but right now, he could have danced for joy.
