Chapter 26
Disclaimer: I do not own D.Gray-Man. Hoshino Katsura does.
A/N: Ah mouu… I just realised that whenever I start typing about Feliske, I never really am able to write something decent. Ah well. I'll try my best here. Also, I eventually didn't continue that scene. the one down there. The first scene in this chapter. I'm so weird.xD
"Nii-san." Feliske walked up to the sweaty teen who wiped the perspiration off his brow. "Hey, where'd you run off to in the past few days?"Feliske shut one eye as her brother's rough, weathered hand came to settle on her head. It was obvious that he had just returned from training.
"A battle." Hikaru sighed. "At the Noah Mansion."

Lenalee's thoughts wondered to the letter the Noahs had sent them as well as the offer they'd made which had been written in the letter. She had to come up with a plan to get his soul back.
Lenalee worked on it, day and night, at the bedside of the 'Destroyer Of Time', making sure to keep track of his heart rate, writing it down clearly in a table.
Lavi came to visit, sometimes helping her plan the operation carefully, pointing out mistakes as he went. Sometimes, even Feliske dropped by, a bouquet of flowers (which Lenalee guessed she had gotten during constant visits to the town nearby) being left on the side table and an occasional glass of orange juice for the other common inhabitant of the room, passing a smile as she left. On Lenalee's insistence, she would sit by as Lenalee scribbled notes about the Noahs' capabilities and looked over the information Lavi had prepared for her about the Noah. She would even come to open up to the older girl and explain about her double self and how they entertained each other. This of course, was a great opportunity on their part.
There were a variety of others who came by. Sometimes Scientists from the Science Department and once even Komui, tailed by a group of Scientists of which included Reever, in a mad attempt to get Lenalee away from the confines of Allen's room. He'd be ushered out on her insistence.
Finally, after two weeks of careful thought and planning, Lenalee decided to present the plan she thought flawless to her elder brother.
A/N: I really need to find a second hobby. –snaps out of 'it'- okay sorry. That was just VERY random. Anyway, I just read the latest manga chapter of D.Gray-Man. AND… ACK I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK'S CHAPTERRRRRRR!!!! And now, I just found out that Allen's Crown Clown can actually allow him to move and fight at will even when he can't move with the state of his wounds. YAY! And he was fighting for Lenalee just now so YOU PEOPLE WHO ONLY WATCH THE EPISODES SHOULD CHECK OUT THE MANGA! And for those people who haven't read the latest which is 152, please go to to read it. It's (as far as my sources tell me) the fastest website to update. That is, if you don't want to download the manga to read it. Okay. On with the story!
"Nii-san, I need to speak to you in private. It's urgent." Komui sat up, his half moon glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose (I'm not sure about this fact). He pushed them back up hastily and changed his mood quickly.
"Waii! My Lenalee wants to have a private talk with me! Away from these octopuses, my dear Lenalee!" Komui squealed as Lenalee as well as the other Science Department members sweat dropped. Lenalee was pushed out of the room by the suddenly energized hands of her older brother.
A/N: I don't know where this part came from but I wrote it out anyway. Sorry for any confusion!
Darkness.
It engulfs me…It's killing me…Extinguishing my very existence…
Darkness.
Lenalee…I'm so sorry… I fought hard to protect you, only to die on you, destroying a part of your world… I'm so sorry…
Darkness.
If only I could be with you, one last time. To share with you…How I feel about you.
Darkness.
I'm sorry... I feel such pain…I'm sorry…
Lenalee…

Lavi sat up. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. It was still dark outside so the redheaded Bookman apprentice flicked on the light.
After washing his face and drying it with a towel, he headed out and into the dark corridors of the Black Order. He decided he'd go for a short jog around the garden on the ground floor and then walk around a bit to cool off. He did however, forget to take his bandana.
-
"Nii-san, I have a plan. And I know I said that I needed to discuss it with you in private but isn't this a little too…drastic?" Komui grinned childishly as Lenalee looked at him, an eyebrow raised.
It was dusty in the old closet they were in; they had chanced upon it when rushing to Lenalee's room to talk. Seeing it as an ideal hideaway, Komui had pulled his younger sister inside with a hyper-ish grin on impulse.
Komui sneezed. "Mou, nii-san. I think we should go to my room-" Lenalee was cut off. "No this is a fabulous place to discuss something private!" The nineteen year-old girl sighed. "Fine then."
-
Lavi heard muffled sounds coming from the old closet next to his room, a simple cupboard which had been carved into the wall decades before. He cupped a hand to his ear and leaned against one of the doors of the closet.
"This is the plan, nii-san."
Lavi was startled at this. Why would she be in the closet, of all places, discussing with her brother a plan? Lavi pressed against the weathered wood harder, eager to hear something important.
"A group of us will go to the Noah mansion, the same way they came to rescue me. We will bring the fake Feliske that Feliske has recently shown me and talked to me about. She's a perfect replica, minus the power of Innocence. Anyway, the real Feliske will keep guard back at HQ with Allen at her side."
The Noahs will probably be waiting for us when we get there; I found a tiny note on the frilly piece of paper they sent to us. It said that Road and Tyki will wait for us in three weeks from the day we received the letter. Which is about four days from now. They will probably ask us where Allen is because it's part of the agreement that if we want Allen to live, we'll have to give him to them to be changed into a Noah. We will answer that we will not give him back if they want the power of creation. It's clearly obvious by the way they stated in their letter that having Allen become a Noah was not their top priority or that the Earl wished it."
So, they will have to take the fake and we will leave when we're sure that Allen's soul has been returned."
Lavi heard Komui cough, probably because of the massive collection of dust in the old closet.
"Oi, Baka usagi." The redheaded Bookman apprentice spun around to see the Mugen wielder looking down at him with a disgusted expression. 'Same old Yuu-chan. No biggy.' Lavi smiled a childish, playful smile up at the sapphire eyed exorcist. "What is it, Yuu-chan?"
In an instant, Mugen was jabbing the tip of his nose lightly. A trickle of blood rolled down the remaining bit of Lavi's nose and down to his chin before falling with a light plop on the floor. "Why are you leaning against an old closet door in the middle of the corridor? And I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME!" Kanda yelled. Lavi backed away hastily, the childish grin still plastered on his face as Lenalee exited from the closet, Komui following suit.
"Kanda, stop it!" Lenalee exclaimed, a slight tone of irritation in her voice. Kanda caught on to what she meant by her tone and left with an irritated murmur which contained various colourful words and swears.
-
"Lavi. What were you doing outside the closet door?!" the angry nineteen year old female exorcist fumed. "Answer me Lavi!" "Emm…Eves dropping?" Lenalee let out a frustrated sigh.
"Look, if you want to know what I was talking about, seriously, then I'll tell you. But next time, don't eves drop. Not on me, not on anyone else. Got it?" The air of strictness in her voice pushed Lavi to agree, though quite not of his own will.
As Lenalee opened her mouth to speak again, Lavi brought his hand up to stop her. "I think I heard everything." Lenalee blinked and closed her mouth. "Well, where did you hear until?" "Until the bit where you said something about leaving after they take the fake Feliske." "Hmm. That about ends it. So, are you willing? A battle might just break out." Lavi rubbed his chin in mock thought. Finally, he grinned. "Sure, why not?"
A/N: I will end the chapter here then. I've got stuff to do so I should go do it. sigh Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I know I wrote some of the characters a little out of character. I just got addicted to this Allen and Lavi pic I found on the net and it's so nice! I'm gonna print it later. Thanks to all who reviewed! By the way, I'M BORED!
