Dark Future Chapter 36: Comedies Within the Black Order, a d.gray-man fanfic

Akatsuki opened his eyes for another day at the Black Order. His body felt a bit numb due to staying up so late at the party last night. His eyes were in severe pain, especially his left one. He also had an earsplitting headache that kept and pounding and pounding as hard as thunder claps. "Ugh… I wonder if Komui has some medication for this," he grumbled as he stood up.

He looked to see Lulubell asleep on his bed yet again. As soon as he saw her, the pain went away temporarily and his lips formed a smile. Akatsuki truly was in love with Lulubell, but truly unsure if whether or not to say it. He then gripped his head yet again, for another headache attack just went off.

"I really need to see Komui to get some of the headache medications… I better hope he doesn't try to fix me…" Akatsuki mumbled as he walked over to his door. He closed his eyes to soothe the pain of keeping them open and the pain of keeping them open. He moved his hand around, searching for the doorknob.

This was like searching for a needle in a haystack while in the middle of the night, because it took him several minutes to finally grip the doorknob. Akatsuki then twisted the doorknob and pulled on the door. The door opened and he began to walk out. "There's no sound… This'll be extremely difficult, especially since I didn't memorize the entire structure of Black Order… No one is awake so I can't ask anyone here for assistance…" he thought in his aching mind.

Elsewhere in Black Order, Allen had just awoken with a smile. In his mind, memories of him and Lenalee together at the party flashed. His saddened, dark world now became brighter because he was finally able to admit to Lenalee that he loved her. He yawned and stretched a bit. He stood up from his bed and began to change into his Exorcist's uniform.

"Yo," a mysterious person called out from behind him. The voice sounded like that of a joker's, so Allen presumed it to be just some other Exorcist.

Allen turned around to see it wasn't just any joker… It was Lavi. "Oh, hello Lavi… Wait a second… How did you get in my room without me noticing it?!" he asked with his eyes widened with surprise. He tried to imagine how Lavi could have possibly got in without him noticing.

Situation Number 1

Lavi opened the door to Allen's room while Allen was asleep and walked in easily with an evilly playful chuckle to give Allen a good scare when he wakes up. Lavi then somehow gained powers like Spiderman and crawled up the wall and hung upside-down, waiting for Allen to wake up.

Situation Number 2

Lavi just plainly snuck in the window using Tessei's 'extend' ability.

Situation Number 3

Lavi entered Allen's room at the same time that Allen went to sleep and hid under Allen's bed like a monster would do to a small child. "Oh don't worry Allen, I'm going to give you a very big surprise tomorrow!" Lavi chuckled from underneath the bed.

Allen sweat dropped at the thought of all of those situations. "Lavi, by any chance, did you just sneak into my room to give me a good scare?" he asked while reaching behind his clothing cabinet for something.

"Uh not really. I snuck in here to say good morning? Why would you th—" Lavi was cut off by a splash of cold water slapping across his face and onto his body. "… Haha, really funny Allen, you threw cold water at me…" Lavi sweat dropped and his veins crossed and bulged over the left side of his forehead.

"Sorry, that was my obligation as a friend to get you to learn that you shouldn't be sneaking into people's rooms." Allen smiled as he made that response. His eyes widened with surprise, "Er Lavi… what're you doing activating your Innocence?" he asked shakily.

"I am going to give you until five for you to run and find a good place to hide…" Lavi said in an almost funnily threatening voice. He then moved his hammer to the point in which it was merely a few inches above Allen's head. "5…" Lavi began.

Allen's eyes widened and he began to run in the other direction. He immediately twisted the handle of his door, opened it and ran down the hallways.

Lavi sighed and shook his head. "Extend, extend, extend!" he said in a comical voice. His Tessei hammer began to fly behind Allen, giving chase.

Allen took a quick left turn, thinking that the hammer wouldn't follow a curve. He looked back to see that the hammer took a left turn to follow Allen down the hall. His eyes widened with surprise and he began to run yet again to get away from the hammer of doom.

He saw Akatsuki whom was trudging down the halls with his earsplitting, thunder-like headache. "Akatsuki, you may want to run!" Allen immediately said as he continued to run.

"Huh…?" Akatsuki turned to see Allen run right past him. He looked above himself to see Lavi's hammer hanging overhead. His mind couldn't process the current situation… until the hammer was brought down and hit Akatsuki in the head. Everything went black for him due to the hard hit in the head he took because of Lavi's hammer.

Allen walked back to where Akatsuki was and sweat dropped. "Lavi brought his hammer down on Akatsuki thinking he was me…" Allen thought. He looked to see a happily skipping Lavi skipping down the hall. "Er Lavi… you sorta hit Akatsuki rather than me," he sweat dropped.

"Oh god… We should get him to the infirmary!" Lavi panicked as soon as he saw Akatsuki on the floor instead of Allen. What Allen told him also was what caused the panic. Both Allen and Lavi picked up Akatsuki and carried him to the infirmary room nearby.

Akatsuki began to open his eyes, his eyes adjusting to the current situation. "Ugh… What just happened to me? First I walk down the hallway. Then, I see Allen run past me then… Bang, I got hit in the head by a hammer." he explained in his mind. He looked to see Allen and Lavi standing at the doorway.

"Thanks idiots… I wake up and next thing I know you knock me out… I should be thanking you more properly, you removed my headache for me without the need of me going to scary Komui who could pull out a bunch of unneeded tools to try and fix me up." Akatsuki chuckled.

"Oh you're welcome. It was our pleasure…" both Lavi and Allen chuckled. In just several seconds, the whole group ended up laughing up a riot about what happened before and the current situation. Yet another peaceful moment that would probably end up being lost within the flames of war…

After several hours of being in the infirmary room, Akatsuki was now in the cafeteria room, eating some soba noodles like Kanda, except with 90% less of the attitude problem.

Lulubell sat at the same table as him, as well as Lenalee, Allen, Lavi, Crowley, Miranda, and Chaoji.

Tyki, Road, James, Jasdero and Debitto ate down the row from them. They seemed to have a preference eating together rather than with the Exorcists even though the Earl of Millennium told them to befriend the Exorcists and take safety with them.

Cross of course was missing… Inspector Malcolm C. Leverrier searched for him to question/interrogate him… Everything in the Black Order now seemed to be the usual, but one thing was forgotten…

Hakumei Hikari was still missing. This didn't go unnoticed by Komui until about several minutes ago. "I would like Allen, Kanda, Lavi, Lenalee (MY PRECIOUS!!!) and Akatsuki to report to my office," he called the Exorcists through a loudspeaker system he worked on that would allow him to be heard by everyone in the Black Order.

(Note: Not a smart idea since that allows everyone to hear you and whatever you say or do will be heard if you were to accidentally activate it…)

Akatsuki sighed, "Please let this not be a mission… Wait, where's Hakumei? I haven't seen him since yesterday while James was testing us…" He looked around for his brother, but sadly, no results. "Strange… He's usually around annoying all of us," he thought. He rose from his table and walked away with the other Exorcists, wondering what the mission was going to be…

"I would all of you to fan out and search for Hakumei Hikari. He hasn't been here ever since the day before yesterday, which is getting to be strange. The enemy might have kidnapped him, that way they could taint his Crystal-type Innocence." Komui stated the mission.

"Wait, kidnap my brother? Ha, now that is something I find completely hilarious!" Akatsuki laughed aloud.

"Akatsuki, your brother's life may be in danger, and yet you laugh at it?" Allen asked while looking at him.

"I just have to admit, my brother isn't that much of a bargaining chip, and they probably got annoyed by him by the time they finished tainting his Innocence!"

"You don't value the life of your brother…?"

"Not really, I was raised to not care about the ones that are close to me. Though my love is for Lulubell only…" Akatsuki began looking around with shifty eyes.

"So you don't care for your brother, but you care a Noah clanswoman because you apparently love her?" everyone in the room said in unison with a sweat drop.

"Let's just drop this so we can get to the next mission…" Akatsuki rolled his eyes at the Exorcists who were staring at him in disbelief (Except Kanda of course who could barely even care less). He then began to leave off with the Exorcists to head for the next mission.

"Oh, and bring along the Noah clan with you. It'll be just in case if the enemy Cain Clan lies in the wait to ambush you," Komui warned them in an ominous tone of voice. The Exorcists simply nodded and left off on their mission. Would they return successful? Find out in the next chapter of Dark Future!
