OMG, A NEW CHAPTER BEFORE THREE MONTHS? HOW INCREADIBLE AM I?!?!
SO SAD. This will be my last (maybe?) chapter of the Alternate squad!!! It's so unbearable!!!
Read it rate it comment love it.
BTW I do not own D. Gray-Man. If I did, Lavi and lenalee would be making out in a closet and Yu would have to wear something frilly every chapter...
Then the boy went to sleep…and one or two embers…alive in the ashes…flared up in the shape of…your beloved face. Thousands of dreams…spread over the land. Stars like silver eyes twinkling in the night…you're shining ones…fell to earth. Even though the eons…turn many prayers to dust…
"I will keep praying.""Allen?"
Sarra waded in the sweet pool of sound, the beautiful notes easing her aching body until it felt warm and light. "What magic is this?" She asked aloud, testing her voice. "I am sure I was dead."
Goodbye sister, please take your time until we meet again…
A tear streaked down Sarra's face, unnoticed. "Goodbye…"
"Sarra?" A voice broke her bubble of sadness. A dark shadow replaced her light and Sarra fallowed the shadow until it met a pair of boots familiar too…
"Lavi?" Sarra raised her incredulous expression to meet Lavi's face, shock outlining both exorcists' features.
"How did you get here?" He asked, extending his hand down to the girl, who politely accepted.
"Lulu bell led us here, kind of." Sarra laughed sheepishly. She noticed as he lifted her up there were subtle stings in the places she had been punctured by Roads candles, but it wasn't even close to unbearable.
"So do you know why we are alive?" Lavi asked, shifting his eyes so that they focused on the room, its condition almost identical to when they had first entered it.
"I have no idea; I was going to ask you." Sarra replied. "Um, who's that?" She pointed to a man who was sitting up, his eyes wide and whizzing around the room like little round humming birds.
"Oh, I guess you haven't really met him yet." Lavi chuckled. "That's Chaoji, he's been helping us and I think is a possible accommodator."
Sarra nodded at the information and smiled at the man who had decided there might be more answers to his many questions if he joined the group.
"Chaoji, this is Sarra, Sarra, meet Chaoji." Lavi introduced the two formally.
"It's nice to meet you." Sarra said, extending her hand.
"Um, likewise." Chaoji chuckled, giving her a half smile and taking her hand. Sarra wasn't so slow as not to notice the questioning glance he gave Lavi.
"She's a fellow exorcist such as myself. She came to help us; actually, you may have seen her right before we arrived on the ark."
Chaoji nodded and returned Sarra's stares with a brighter smile.
"Ok guys, let's go find Allen!" Lavi cheered. Sarra's eyes lit up at the name while a darker aura shrouded Chaoji.
--------
"I'm ALIVE!!!!" Mizuki jumped with excitement as the stairs slowly reconstructed themselves into their firm mould once more. "I was certain that would be it, guess God doesn't want us dead just yet." An evil grin spread across her face while she planned what she was going to do to Lavi when she got out of the cursed place.
"Fuck."
A wane voice alerted Mizuki that planning torture was not her key priority. "You know, Eas, swearing isn't good for someone so… EAS?!?!?"
Dark circles ringed around Eas' equally dark eyes but the colour was slowly returning to her face. "That's my name; try not to wear it out." The girl smiled meekly.
"But you were dead!" Mizuki stuttered, leaving her mouth open like she was trying to catch flies.
"Too bad, seems like I just can't escape this place." Eas winked.
A moment passed before Eas grunted disapprovingly. "So, uh, are you going to help me up or just stand there like a dumb ass?"
Mizuki clapped her lips together and gave her a big watery smile before grabbing her in a big wet hug.
"Oh gross, Mizuki, you're getting snot all over me!!" Eas screamed, shoving half heartedly at the girl. Before long she found her own arms wrapping around her friend, tears slipping from her unwilling eyes. I know it was him…
"Ok seriously, Mizuki, you're hurting me now…" Two snotty smiles appeared as Mizuki hoisted the little girl on her back, taking to the stairs once again; though this time she was at peace with the world.
----------------
"Che."
"So warm…"
"Get off of me."
Those cold words woke Seraphina from her peaceful slumber. "Huh?" The girl sat up from her position on the angry boys lap and looked around. "What? We aren't dead?!?"
Kandas' cold eyes averted Seraphina's. He gazed out over the expanse of the enormous room.
"Hey Kanda, what's wrong?" Seraphina inquired, thinking back to before they "died."
"Oh, umm, I mean, so umm, what up?" Seraphina flushed crimson and played with the words on her tongue.
The bear chest Seraphina had been spying like a stalker rose from her gaze, replacing her view with his dark ripped pant uniform.
"Where are you going?" She stuttered, the blush still ripe on her face.
Words eluded Seraphina's ears as Kanda made his way to the free standing building.
"I'll come with you!" Seraphina dragged herself up and rushed over to Kanda's figure. "What's wrong with you?" She demanded. "I know you're an ass, but you don't have to ignore me!" She jumped in front of him so he couldn't walk any further. "Seriously, what's your problem? Look at me!" She grabbed his jaw but he quickly batted her hand away.
"What the hell Kanda!" Seraphina was seriously getting pissed. "This isn't funny! Talk to me!"
The man grabbed her shoulder and shoved her out of the way.
"Ok, well if you want it that way." Seraphina snarled. With a running start, she leaped onto his back, shoving him to the ground, giving him a good mouth full of sand.
"What the hell?!" He gagged.
"Show me your face." Seraphina demanded, attempting to roll him over.
"Like hell." He swatted his hand at her but she caught it in her mouth and bit down hard.
"YEARGHH! What the hell?!" Kanda twisted over and pushed the girls head back with his palm, tugging at his captured hand.
"New it." She chuckled as drool escaped her mouth, dripping down his hand unattractively. Spikes ran up his back and Kanda shoved at her harder.
"Nasty! Let go of me, you could have rabies!"
One hard chomp sent pain relapsing through his hand before it was released, hard red welts forming in the shape of her teeth and drool draped all over it.
"Well at least my face isn't lit up like a Christmas tree." Seraphina commented while wiping the left over saliva off her mouth.
"Che!" Once again, Kanda's eyes were on the horizon, and uncharacteristically, a small flush crawled over his face.
"Whatever. I don't care about you anyways. I just have a fear of dying alone." Seraphina shrugged, lifting herself off of him.
"I thought you were afraid of dying in general." Kanda grunted, smearing his wet hand across his pants.
"Well it's not that bad if you're with the right person." Seraphina shrugged. Now it was her turn to avert her gaze.
"Che, whatever."
"Saying Che doesn't make you cool, you know." Seraphina sneered.
Kanda glared daggers at her and started back towards his previous destination.
"Ok well, whatever, I'm going to see if the other doors back, so have fun going the wrong way." She snapped, turning away from Kanda. She stormed across the barren land, her thoughts continuously returning to the man walking the opposite way as her.
I won't take it back.
-------------
"I'm DYING!!!!" Crowley, please move, I'm going to suffocate!"
"Please, Crowley, I'm seriously going to die!" Alexandreina squirmed underneath the massive man.
"Mmmm." A low rumble slipped through his lips and Alexandreina smiled against the man.
"That's it, hey, can you here me? Wake up. You need to move Crowley." Alexandreina rested her hand on his head and stroked her fingers through his hair. She hesitated on his cheek and nearly had a heart attack when it started moving.
"Crowley! Hey good morning sleepy…"
"Eliade…" Crowley's weak voice sliced Alexandreina's sentence in half.
"He he, Crowley, what are you saying? It's me, Alexandreina."
"Mmmm, Eliade." Another whisper of the Taboo name slipped past his limp lips.
An almost hysteric laugh exited the girl as her knee cap forced itself into Crowleys tender area, forcing the breath out of him which caused him to fall on his side, releasing Mizuki from her tight prison.
"Oops. Sorry about that." The girl smiled through gritted teeth. "Guess I shouldn't have lifted my leg so quickly."
"You know I hate you, right?"
Alexandreina turned to the door that rested in the middle of the room. A shadow jumped down the steps and into the light of the room.
Oh shit she looks angry. "Hey there Vasilisa!" Alexandreina sang, skipping over to her sister. "Where have you been? I missed you."
"You know you deserve this." Before she let Alexandreina get another word in, Vasilisa's fist slammed into her sisters' face, the girl plummeting backwards from the force. As she hit the ground, Vasilisa quickly shoved her foot onto the girls face, grinding it into the tiled floor, a devilish sneer on her face.
"Try to ditch me, eh? What the Fuck happened to "Sisters?" More like "ditchers" to me." She quickly stomped on her sisters' face until it reddened and showed signs of her boot on it. With one last grunt of effort, she kicked the back of Alexandreina's' head like a soccer ball, sending her flying once more. She cracked her knuckles and flipped her short deep purple hair back.
"Ok sis, you got your point across. "Alexandreina's sweet voice came from the wobbling form.
"Oh like hell am I done with you." Vasilisa growled, aiming for another kick to the girls face.
Her boot collided with Alexandreina's hand as the girl intercepted her attack. With a creative move, Alexandreina twisted her sisters' foot so she flipped onto the ground. Taking the opportunity, Alexandreina pinned the girl to the ground in a vice grip.
"I did what I had to do sister. You would to if you had someone you loved!"
Vasilisa yanked at her sisters' arm. "Oh and I suppose spending five minutes with him before your impending doom is enough to confirm you love him?" She spat back, arching her back up and aiming her head at Alexandreina's face, forcing her to do a backwards roll off Vasilisa to dodge the hit.
"I know love when I see it, and I love Crowley!" Alexandreina snapped.
"You suck! I thought you loved me you bitch!" Vasilisa locked hands with her sister and pushed against her with all her might.
"That's a different type of love and you know it, stupid!" Alexandreina huffed with the same amount of exertion.
"Whatever, you're still not in love!" Vasilisa spat on her sister, causing Alexandreina to gasp in disgust and hurl her sister to the side, leaping on her like a jungle cat.
"Uh..."
The girls looked up, one finger in each others noses, the other hand wrapped around each others' hair. Kanda stood at the far wall, beside the only other door in the place. His shocked expression melted off his face quickly. Without a word, he travelled over to Crowley, slung the mans' arm over his shoulder, and dragged him out of the room without a second glance at the girls.
"Crowley!" Alexandreina sniffled, tears escaping her disfigured face.
"Oh shut up." Vasilisa murmured, releasing her sister and shoving her away. "Let's go find the others, shall we?" Vasilisa gave her sister a meek half smile and extended her hand to her.
"Yeah." Alexandreina replied, taking it.
"You seriously need to wipe your nose though, that's just disgusting." Vasilisa teased, crinkling her nose.
--------------
"Seraphina!" Mizuki sauntered over to her friend, tears streaming down her face.
"Mizuki? Eas?" Seraphina squeaked while Mizuki gave her a bear hug, Eas' sleeping face squishing against her own. "Wah? How far did you get? Where are the others?"
"I'm here." Sarra came into view with Lavi and Chaoji fallowing after him. Lavi was screaming something about ribs and dumplings.
Sarra joined the group hug, her own tears mixing with Mizuki's. "I thought we'd lost you, Seraphina!" She sniffled happily.
"Yeah, well I did too, but seems like it takes a lot more than that to kill me." She chuckled, pushing Mizuki away from her as best as she could so she could breathe.
Soon Kanda appeared with Crowley on his back. "Yu!" Lavi cheered, running to the always angry man. Alexandreina and Vasilisa quietly squeezed out of the doorway, avoiding Lavi's babble and skipped over to their little group, hands firmly intertwined.
"Hey guys." They smiled in unison.
"The groups all together! "Mizuki snotted, grabbing for the sisters who skilfully avoided her.
"Allen!!!!" Sarra nearly fainted at the sight of Allen walking out from one of the many doors.
"Hey Sarra! Long time no see!" He smiled sweetly at her, setting her heart on fire.
"Took you long enough, bean sprout."
Allens angelic face turned demon as he came to face Kanda. "It's Allen, thank you very much!"
"whatever, bean sprout."
"It's ALLEN!"
"It's good to see those two joking around again." Sarra giggled.
"I'm not sure they are really joking." Vasilisa commented as the two boys entertained fighting stances.
"Well, we need to find a way out of here." Lavi reminded the group.
"You're right." Allen returned his focus onto the task at hand. "Girls, could you search to the south of here, and we will search to the north?"
"Splitting up so soon?" Tears welled up in half the group's eyes.
"We will all be back together soon, we just need to be quick and find an exit." Allen reminded the girls sweetly.
"Makes sense." Seraphina, one of the few not crying, shrugged. "C'mon girls, lets leave the idiots. The sooner we get out of here, the sooner we get to eat."
Stomachs from both groups exploded in rumbles at the sound of the word food and both sides quickly scampered off to find the exit.
-------------------
"Welcome back everybody!"
Komui was waiting as the large group exited the newly moved ark onto familiar lands.
"It's good to be home." The girls replied before dispersing to their selected people.
"Lavi, may I speak with you for a moment please?" Mizuki smiled sweetly. She urged the boy to a silent corner.
"So." She started. "How are you?"
"I'm fine, and you?" Lavi asked, picking up on her prickly undertones.
"Oh I'm just fine and dandy." Mizuki laughed, rage clearly being suppressed in her.
"You would think otherwise considering the hell I've had to go through recently because of your idiotic group, but, you know, I'm all good." She gave Lavi a few slaps on the back, each time the hit growing stronger and faster until she was pounding on him with all her force.
"Ow, Ow! Mizuki cut it out! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to put you through all that!" Lavi yelped, shielding himself from her attacks.
"As long as you understand how much you OWE me." Mizuki smirked, the anger draining from her.
Lavi sighed with relief and gave her the thumbs up. "OK!"
"Good." Mizuki grinned. Lavi scratched his nose and chuckled.
"Oi, you two, out of the shadows and come join the group!" A voice scolded them.
"Coming!" Mizuki called back, giving Lavi a little wink before running back to the group.
"Wow, Sarra, you would be a pro assassin! Alexandreina cheered as she noticed Sarra peeping around a corner.
"Gosh! Alexandreina, you scared me!" Sarra gasped.
"So who are we spying on?" Alexandreina asked, stretching her neck around the corner.
"No one!" Sarra pushed hard on her friend, restraining her from viewing what she had been looking at for the past few minutes.
"Aww, c'mon! I just wanna peek!" Alexandreina strained in Sarra's death grip. "Oh, hey Allen."
Sarra's hands shot off Alexandreina's waist and to her face as Allen rounded the corner.
"Hello Alexandreina, Sarra, what are you guys doing?"
"We are spying!" Alexandreina grinned, missing the hands that were straining to cover her mouth.
"Who are you spying on?" Allen inquired, looking back behind him.
"I don't know, I was just asking Sarra that." Alexandreina replied.
Allen's eyes met Sarra's' and she quickly turned and bolted for the door.
"Sarra?" He called after her while Alexandreina commented on how fast she could run.
Before she reached the doors, however, they swung open, missing her by a hair.
A dark figure emanating pure evil stood in the doorway. The hair on the back of every exorcist stood pin straight as the woman strutted into the room. In two seconds a mass frenzy broke out as all the injured exorcists attempted to make their escape. It wasn't long before they were all captured and dragged to their designated hospital rooms. The girls' room was jammed with the entirety of the Alternate squad along with Miranda and Lenalee. The boys' room was across the hall.
"Why can't I visit them?!" Alexandreina demanded. "I'm barely hurt, I mean I'm all bandaged up and my wounds are pretty much healed so why must I stay here?!" The head nurse pushed the fussing girl back onto the hard bed and held her there despite her struggles.
"I apologize but you must stay here until your wounds are completely healed and as for visiting the men's ward, that is strictly prohibited, as is the other way around." The head nurse urged, allowing another nurse to hold her down while she produced a needle from under her robes.
"You're not going to stick me with that, are you?" Alexandreina asked, her eye twitching at the size of the needle.
"This will help calm you down and let your wounds heal better." The head nurse replied, draining a clear fluid into the needle.
"Like hell I'd allow that!" Alexandreina kicked fiercely until three more nurses piled on her. "Vasilisa, you have to help me!" Alexandreina screeched, turning her head to the bed beside her where her sister lay.
"Sorry sis, too sleepy. I used my innocence way to much and now," She gave a big yawn and settled back into the bad. "Now I'm afraid I'm just too tired to do anything for you."
"You traitor!" Alexandreina screamed. "You traitor…"
"Peace at last!" Mizuki sighed contentedly, a novel sitting in her lap as she propped up her pillows higher.
"You should be lying down." The head nurse eyed her.
"I'm fine; I've already gotten lots of rest!" Mizuki countered, grabbing her book quickly and using it as a barrier between her and the head nurse.
"And where do you think you're going?!" The head nurse had Seraphina by the ear in a split second and dragged her out from beneath the bed closest to the door.
"Damnit!" Seraphina screeched, tugging at the women's wrist.
"Get back to bed!" The women screamed.
"But Eas is snoring really loudly!" Seraphina yelled back, pointing at the tiny girl who was exerting large scary noises.
"Deal with it!" Mizuki growled at her, not raising her eyes from her book. "At least you didn't have a hole blown through you."
"Any idea who did that to her?" Sarra chimed in from her bed beside Mizuki.
"No, she didn't tell me. Actually, she fell asleep pretty well right after the ark was reconstructed." Mizuki stated.
"Well I'm sure it was because of something stupid." Seraphina growled, shoving herself off the head nurse and jumping back on her bed, rubbing her ear violently.
"Hey Tyki, long time no see!"
"Yeah, Eas, sorry, my work has been really busy lately."
"That's alright, I didn't mind waiting. Do you have anything for me?"
"Yeah, it's a really special necklace."
"Thank you, Tyki!"
"My pleasure, Eas. Where would you like to go next?"
"Anywhere, as long as it's with you."
"As long as it's with you…" Eas mumbled in her sleep, the edge of her bed wet with salty tears.

*Extra*
"Dun Dun Dah, Dah Dun Dun DOOM Dananananana!!!!" broken vocals echoed in the ceiling vents, registering back to the singer that her voice was less than pretty. "Dum Doo Dum!!" Alexandreina's head popped into the sterilized room. "Hiya folks!" She cheered, letting herself fall from the ceiling. Lavi's head connected with hers on the way down and passed out while cushioning her fall.
"Ouch! Lavi, watch where your head is! You should have moved out of my way; that really hurts!" She scolded the boy. After earning herself no response, she quickly got bored and traipsed over to where the inert form of Count Crowley lay, passed out like usual.
"Oh poo, I was hoping he'd be awake by now." The girl admired the man's pale face and highlighted bangs until she heard the angry footsteps of her captor. "Damnit, I thought I'd lost her!" she cursed, jumping under Crowley's sheets.
"Where is she?!" The head nurse demanded, bursting through the doors. She was met with two hands belonging to Noise Marie and Chaoji, both pointing to the bed Crowley belonged to. The head nurse also noted that while Lavi was being a good boy and getting some rest, Allen and Kanda both were missing. The nurse stomped over to Crowley's bed, grabbing her sedative filled needle for her attack, and ripped the sheets off of the man.
"Oh, well guess I won't need this." The nurse chuckled, slipping the needle back under her robes.
Alexandreina was passed out, her face as red as a tomato, next to Crowley's bare white chest.
"That's one way to knock her out." She laughed, dragging the girl up with the help of a few other nurses and carrying her back to her designated bed.
"Thank you, Alexandreina." Seraphina whispered under her breath, thankful for the diversion. "Looks like he's not in his bed…"
"It's rude to just enter some ones room." A familiar voice floated to Seraphina as she struggled to get down from the vent.
"That's pretty mean considering I just risked my life to come see you."
"You can hardly consider evading the head nurse and braving a few spiders risking your life." Kanda grunted from his place of meditation.
"It was still pretty scary in there, and hello, have you met the head nurse? I would rather fight an entire Noah army then get on her bad side!" Seraphina grunted as she swung her legs down into the room. The floor looked a lot farther down than she had remembered.
"If it's so bad to be breaking the rules, then why are you here?" Kanda inquired.
"Ah, yes. Well, there is a reason I came all this way, if I could just get down from here," She lowered herself so that only her arms and head where still in the vent, her legs swinging around in the air, trying to make contact with some sort of support.
"Can you be quiet please? I'm trying to meditate here." Kanda grunted.
"What? I thought you wanted to know why I'm here!" Seraphina exhaled, trying to remain balanced in the vent.
"I'd rather quiet." He stated bluntly.
"Well if you would help me down, I would gladly leave you in peace!" Seraphina huffed, clawing at the mettle.
"Don't break my freaking ceiling!" Kanda shouted, his voice coming closer.
"Don't call me a fat cow!" Seraphina screamed back, her nails sliding further towards the opening.
"When the hell did I call you that?!" He demanded; now right beneath the entrance to the vent Seraphina was hanging out of.
"Well I can't hear very damn well in this god forsaken bat cave!" She retorted, tears welling in her eyes as she slipped further into the empty space, Kanda's head only just reaching her toes.
"Jump."
"You want me to DIE?!" Seraphina demanded, her face crinkling up with hate and fear.
"No, I do not want you to die, idiot. I'm telling you to jump because I know you'll be fine."
"How do you know that?" She sniffed.
"Idiot. I'm going to catch you." Kanda barked. As if to emphasize his statement, he raised his arms up to her.
"Kanda!" Seraphina sniffled, overwhelmed by his kindness. "Ok, on the count of three, one, two, three!"
Seraphina pushed herself off the vent, letting gravity take her into his warm arms. Unfortunately for her, warm arms eluded her, and instead she received cold hard floor on her backside.
"What happened to catching me, idiot?!" she bellowed, rubbing her stinging arse.
Silence greeted her and she looked over to see Kanda twitching on the ground, a foot print red hot on his face.
"Kanda! Crap I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to kick you when I fell, it just sort of happened; are you OK?"
"Get out." Kanda raised his head and pointed to the door, his fine eyebrows narrowing over his eyes.
"OK, OK but seriously, are you alright? Umm, your nose is bleeding."
Blood seeped down Kanda's nose, staining his skin crimson. "Che." Was his reply to the statement.
"One minute, I think I have a tissue." Seraphina fussed, digging into the pockets of her little shorts. "Ok here, got some."
"I don't need your tissues." Kanda grunted.
"Shut up. It's my fault your nose is bleeding; I might as well help stop it.
"Whatever."
"You know, I've always wondered why you were such an ass, but I guess that's just you." Seraphina quirked a smile and Kanda raised an eye brow. "I don't mean it as a bad thing, mostly. I just mean you're different." She replaced the bloody tissue with another and continued. "Like you're honest, well mostly you're broody and silent and a real jerk, but at least you tell it straight, and we all know you have a good heart."
"I think there were more stabs against me then there were compliments in your statement." Kanda grunted.
"Yeah, sorry, you are still and ass after all." Seraphina shrugged. She tilted his head back to check if there was any more blood. When she found none, she smiled triumphantly.
"Oh yeah, here's another compliment…" Seraphina leaned into Kanda, grabbing his lips with hers and held it there, triumphant that he didn't try to pull away. She let go of him and smiles sheepishly. "I mean it's not much of one but still, it's worth something, righ…?"
Kanda grabbed Seraphina's head and crushed his lips against hers once more, feeling familiar warmth in them. Nice, she's wearing cherry lip gloss…
