Chapter 37

Disclaimer: I do not own D.Gray-Man. Hoshino Katsura does.

A/N: I'm still on a ban. --Don't expect one-at-a-time updates. They're probably gonna come all at one shot.

"Komui-san, Komui-san!" Feliske shook Komui's shoulders in a vain attempt to get the Supervisor to wake up.

"Now, we have to resort to the three magic words again," Lavi commented, sweat dropping.

Reever sighed. Komui always had to fall asleep in the most urgent of times. He shook his head before lowering himself to Komui's ear, whispering, "Lenalee's getting married."

The supervisor barely twitched. Instead he murmured, "She's on a mission. She's a good girl. Wouldn't just go off and get married. And anyway, Zou Fu, Shiki and Vivere are there to stop Allen from marrying her…"

Riny raised an eyebrow. Lavi poked her on the arm (imagine him and Riny in chibi mode doing that. So cute! xD) and put his hands over his ears in a gesture to say 'brace yourself for some deafening noise!'.

"What if all of them were in on it?"

"WHAT?! NOOOO LENALEE!!"

Everyone there cupped their ears, a common practice when trying to get the supervisor to wake up.

The screaming continued until Kaze decided to karate smack him onto the paper cluttered ground.

"Komui, pull yourself together."

Komui sat up, rubbing his head painfully, looking up at Kaze's serious face.

"Right," he said, standing up, regaining his composure slowly, dusting himself off, "so what's the problem?"

Everyone in the room just stared at Komui, waiting for him to realise the problem. Komui blinked as he surveyed the room, looking for someone to tell him what was going on. Then he spotted Kaze.

"Ah, I get it!"

The blue haired boy raised an eyebrow.

"If Kaze's awake, everyone's back, right?"

Half of the room fell flat on their faces.

"Yes, Yes! Bow to me!! I am your all-powerful, ever-great supervisor!"

A vein was close to popping on Kaze's forehead.

"Um, Komui-san. That's not the case. It's quite the opposite."

Komui blinked in confusion, raising an eyebrow in question at the ruby eyed girl.

"They haven't come back. The problem here is that Kaze's soul unbound itself from Allen when they passed through Vivere's portal."

She closed her eyes and gulped before opening them again.

"That was what I had been trying to tell you just now, before they left. That going through Vivere's portal would be dangerous because of the soul binding."

Lavi, Riny and the rest of the Science Department that was present gasped.

Komui looked astonished and as puzzled as he could ever be.

The supervisor adjusted his glasses so that the light reflecting off them prevented anyone from seeing his eyes before he spoke.

"Kaze, I know you're probably feeling very tired and feverish, but can you go after them?"

Kaze shook his head.

"Even if I did go after them, there'd be nothing I would be able to do."

He looked up at Komui and everyone else with icy blue eyes.

"My energy gets sucked away with any spell I cast or whenever I use my Innocence. If I cast my soul back into bindings at this level of energy and capability, all hell would break loose. It'd shatter and then I'd go berserk."

Feliske looked away, her face dark. Riny, who had been standing behind her, put a hand on her shoulder.

"I have a solution to that."

Fei Jia stood at her windowsill, gazing out at the traffic congestion on the main road as, once again, a portal tore through dimensions and opened up in her room. The familiar magical aura of her friend willed the girl to turn around, facing the ghostly grey mist which was coming out of the opening in mid air.

"You're back. Here to return my mirror?"

Feliske shook her head.

"You study alchemy don't you? That's your power isn't it?"

Fei Jia raised an eyebrow, her fiery almond coloured orbs shining.

"I need your help."

Feliske pointed to her portal. Fei Jia followed the direction in which she was pointing, staring into the depths of the ghostly looking portal until a figure emerged.

A man who seemed to be in his late twenties stepped out of the portal, his face down in a sober-looking position. Behind him came a boy of about their age, fairly genuine-looking in Fei Jia's opinion (she has a really high expectation of guys), blue eyes, blue hair and a weird outfit. Both of the guys who were now in her room looked at her.

Fei Jia didn't realise that her friend had wanted to speak until she did.

"Komui-san, meet Fei Jia. Fei Jia, this is Komui Lee."

The older man nodded at her with a warm smile. Fei Jia walked up to him and shook his hand, returning the smile as she went.

"Pleasure to meet you, sir."

"There is no need for formalities Fei Jia-chan. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

She looked at the boy as Feliske proceeded to introduce him.

"Kaze-kun, this is Fei Jia. Fei Jia, this is Kaze Masahide."

"Nice to meet you."

"Hey."

Feliske let out a strained breath.

"Alright, now since all the introductions are done, acquaintances made, let's get to the point," she huffed.

Turning to Komui, she said, "Alright. I leave it to you to inform her of all the details."

Komui nodded at the brown haired girl as she tugged at Kaze's arm, pulling him out of the window on the other side of the room, slipping outside easily because it was right next to a large tree that looked strong enough to support someone on one of its branches.

"Why don't you have a seat?" offered the younger girl politely, dragging a chair lightly to where Komui was standing before settling down comfortably on a sofa opposite him.

"Thank you."

"Alright, I'm settled. Tell me what you have to."

Komui gulped slowly and closed his eyes, adjusting his glasses that had slid to the end of the bridge of his nose, relaxing his nerves as he went.

"Now, let me explain…"

-

Kaze coughed and Feliske cast a worried glance at him. It was cold out but they were properly attired for the rough weather conditions there.

"Okay, now tell me why you dragged me out of there."

Feliske sighed but then smiled.

"We're going to my house."

"For...?"

"To get some things and make sure it's still alright meaning it hasn't been robbed or anything."

"Oh."

Then Kaze folded his arms.

"But just dragging me off? Don't you think that that's pretty rude? Especially for girls?"

"Oh shut up."

-

"Alright. We have to stay calm," Lenalee said to her friends, her voice strained to stop the nervousness that was building up in her from showing. She turned to Zou Fu.

"Do you know where we are?"

Zou Fu nodded.

"We're in a namely 'forsaken' forest at the edge of some parallel world dimension."

"Are we in the correct place?"

"Oh, no doubt we definitely are. What the problem is now, is that we can't get out of here without winning against the Noahs, all of them. Which is, of course, inhumanely possible with the number of people we have here to fight than how many they do."

Zou Fu glanced around.

"I think they've seen us, know that we're here. And they're probably keeping tabs on our location and what we're talking about," he whispered. "So it'd be best if we kept our voices down on this."

-

"Ah, I see them."

"OOOH! I see Allen!"

"Don't make so much noise. Act like a proper lady will you? Did the Earl bring you up in an environment that taught you to squeal at exorcists?"

"Oh, Tyki, you're such a spoil sport."

-

"So what should we do?"

"Well, we'd probably make a quiet approach."

He lowered his voice to a level at which only Lenalee and the rest of the gang could hear.

"Even though they already know we're here."

SMACK!

"Ow!"

Everyone looked at Allen.

"Someone threw something at me!"

They all looked around.

"What did they hit you with?" Lenalee queried, trying to help the situation.

Allen turned around so that the group could see the little burn mark on his coat.

"This apparently."

Shiki picked up a rock but let go of it a split second later. The small piece of stone glowed red as it fell with a soft thud onto the leaf-littered ground.

"Ooh. Hot."

A childish giggle came from the other end of the clearing that they were in.

Two ash-skinned figures emerged from where the giggles had erupted from.

"Tyki Mikk," Allen muttered in a voice full of scorn.

"Road Kamelot," Lenalee said in a voice that echoed the emotions in her ashen half-determined-half-fearful expression.

Zou Fu stood up from the crouching position he had been in when observing the small red piece of stone.

"They've decided," Vivere whispered, more to herself than to the rest of the group, "to make the first move."

A/N: Hmm. I'm pretty satisfied. oOh. The action is gonna start soon. It'll be pretty hard to write, considering I've 'over-planned' the sequel that it'll be hard to focus on this before starting. So excited! Haha. Chat Zone.

Chat Zone:

Astaline: Okay, today and for the rest of the week, Fei Jia Astaline Iceflakes will be Astaline! Okay? Meaning me. –grin-

Allen: Hey Astaline.-sips a can of drink-

Astaline: Hey Allen. What you drinkin'?

Allen: Iced Lemon tea. Yum.



Astaline: Be careful. Lavi's been pulling some pretty nasty tricks these days.Allen: Yeah. I gotta go.

Two days later.

Allen: -sneezes- WahCHOO!

Astaline: Told you that drink was dangerous.

Allen: You got an aspirin or something?

Astaline: Panadol. Here.

Allen: -takes panadol.- Thanks.

Astaline: Here's a question for people reading.

Question:

Should we let Kanda come in as back up??

I'm out of ideas so I was wondering if you guys could give me an honest opinion on what you'd like.

-

Astaline: Okay. Bye Guys!
