DISCLAIMER : *i forgot this shit* I DO NOT AND WILL NEVER OWN D.GRAY-MAN EVEN THOUGH I AM ASIAN AND A WOMAN ;-;

Road Camelot watches the earl furiously answers all her homeworks, the others watching in awe at the speed the man had with the exception of one young Destruction and Lust.

She can still remember when the patriarch said that she can't go with him retrieving the destruction as he can sense those wretched innocence near the sight, after waiting for what felt like a decade, the man exited the door she created, carrying the newly awakened destruction 25 years ago merrily.

At first, her feelings were all jumbled. Fear Hatred Happiness Wonder. But after a while, she accepted their dear 14th back, back to the family where he belong, away from the humans who hurts him badly, though, she remembered the earl saying that Nea - his name, the same as the past - was alone but was sure that a human was nearby, though with the earl senile, she promptly forgets about it and joyfully welcomes their dear fourteenth back.

"did you really just invited me to finish road's homework?" the noah of pleasure said as he pushed the geography homework -- not that he knows since all he did was put the number 12 as his answer -- away from him with a hint of disdain as he lit the cigarette.

"of course not tyki-pon!~" the man winced at the nickname as their leader jovially placed down the pen, and as if it was a cue, all of the occupants watch the earl with a hint of sadism and excitement.

"the beginning of this war is starting~! it's time to have fun my dear family!~"

Every Noah in the room grinned sadistically while some are already fantasizing their own torture method to their chosen victim.

"though, someone have to stop the cross unit from catching up to that man~" the earl said, anger brewing inside his chest as he recall the only man to not only sabotage most of his plans, but also escaping alive with that smug face of his.

"i'll do it" two voices replied to the man's subtle request making the two speaker look at each other before the younger shrug and went back to his meal while the other stoically eats her own meal.

"then i trust you two to finish this then, my dear destruction and lust~" the younger nodded at the earl's direction while the noah of lust replied in affirmative.

"of course, my lord/earl"

"ne yu, do you think sensei can catch up to us?" the young man in question just gave his companion a facepalmed expression before closing his eyes as if to meditate even with their situation.

"go ask lenalee idiot" the male -- Alma Karma, 18, Second Exorcist -- just pouted at the response he got from his stoic bestfriend -- even though the other wouldn't admit -- before getting the attention of his other comrade.

"lenalee, mind telling me why we have to find general cross even though the three of us have a different general" the female* just sighed in exhaustion before giving the pouting male an amused glance.

"because our general is near the HQ and general cross is -" " a womanizer and a shady bastard" a male continued the sentence while sighing in annoyance, his red hair hold back by his green bandanna highlighting his right eye and the black eyepatch he uses to cover his left eye.

"well, no one is actually apprenticed to him so we all got forced to do this" Lenalee continued her sentence giving his redhead teammate an amused glance.

"I've a-already d-done r-repairing t-the sh-ship" a woman holding a black disk stuttered getting all the attention of the four making her panic.

"did i do something wrong?! HIEEEEE!! I'M SORRY! I'M SORR!Y I'M SORRY!" Lavi and Alma sweatdrop as Miranda is having mental breakdown, kanda just che-ed before leaving the three to calm the woman.

"Calm down miranda! you did great!" lenalee started subsiding the woman's breakdown making the three sigh in relief.

"really?" miranda sniffs, her watery doeful eyes shining at the intensity making lenalee produce another sweatdrop.

"of course! without you we wouldn't be able to go chase general cross!" alma said cheerfully making the brown haired woman brighten and the people in the vicinity sigh in relief.

"time to go exorcist-sama!" a sailor told them with a smile making the other -- with the exception of kanda -- do the same and started to climb the ship aboard.

"i think sensei can catch up alma-kun" the addressed male shot up in surprise at the answer he got from her green-haired female teammate.

"hmm... i really hope so, i have a bad feeling about this mission since it started" alma wearily replied making his bestfriend look at him in worry -- if you know how to read Kanda Yu's face -- before going back to checking the ship.

"well, we just have to hold up then!" lenalee enthusiastically replied making alma smile at the spirit the girl have.

"then what are we waiting for! let's set sail in the seven sea, mates!" a shout from behind the two made them jump as their redhead comrade cheered up some of the crew with his antics making some chuckle at the scene.

Lenalee watches her comrade's antics with a glazed look, she can still remember her dream vividly, how the snow falls slowly to the bloodstained earth and all of her comrades lying by the ground, dying. How kanda hugs alma's body as if it's his lifeline, how miranda look twistedly beautiful at the red earth beneath her, and his brother, Komui, nii-san is just in front of her, bleeding, reaching towards her in his last attempt before life leaves off his body, and she can't do anything but watch because it seems as if it's the only thing she can do.

But most of all, she can remember how her sensei, General Allen C. Walker, hugs a teen with the familiar black stigmata in his forehead and the shade of dark ashes his skin is, while the two of them lay together in a pool of blood and black matter, but the two still wears a smile, and she can remember what emotion is behind that smile her sensei wears after years of being trained, the smile of contentment, peace, and happiness.

au:...a filler...am i seeing a cross/earl, lulubell/nea and lenalee/road in her or am i just hallucinating? *shrugs* but anyway, i am still being vague here or maybe it's just me, and i made alma alive because who cares? this is actually canon-divergence with a lot of characters missing or alive.

trivia : this story actually bloomed in my mind because of the "bookman junior allen theory"

* i just placed female instead of woman or girl because i just don't like it if i put woman or girl to lenalee, it's just me actually.

p.s.

-neallen is the main pairing but a slow burn, maybe i'll make a side pairing like kanda alma if i want to but don't get your hopes up... though if there's a pairing you want to happen in this story do comment and i will make them in here as a side pairing, but i'm not gonna make a side pairing with nea or allen in it.
