I do not own D'Gray Man or any of the anime references in this fanfic
Summary: oc insert. Bonnie didn't know how she fell in the world of an anime show she hasn't watched in years. Honestly she wasn't even a big fan of the series.
Chapter 8
We reported to Headquarters leaving the Innocence with Reever. It was then Komui that informed us about Allen and Lenalee's mission and their encounter with a young girl named Road who was a Noah.
"According to the Bookman, they appear at times of great change from what we gather they are allied with the Earl. I want the two of you to be weary should you come across them. They are humans with capabilities that surpass normal humans. We gather that the Earl is making his move now," he explains.
I wondered if they should be considered humans if that was the case.
"Bonnie, you should rest up. I can finish the rest of the report from Kanda. Good job," smiles Komui. I had sensed that the Head chief probably wanted me out to talk to Kanda about something super secrete. A part of me wondered if it had anything to do with me and the other part just wanted to see Lenalee.
"Is Lenalee in her room or in the medical ward?" I ask before I leave. I should get her some get well flowers or a card.
Did this world have those obnoxious 'Get Well Bears?'
Komui blinks at me then smiles reassuringly. "She's in the medical ward under observation currently. She should be awake by the afternoon." His tone was light and I could only assume that her injuries weren't too dire.
I salute the Chief playfully and make my way to my room. I needed a nap then maybe up my training tomorrow after visiting town and then seeing Lenalee tomorrow.
I need that nap.

I spent my next day hunting the town for flowers which they had nothing off. No flower shops and no wild flowers I can use to make a bouquet.
Using my other worldly knowledge and nostalgically recalling my love for Origami. I made a visit to Sam who sold me some colored paper for half price and started making paper sunflowers.
I left a flower on Sam's table as a thank you and took the paper flowers with me to the Order. Going up and down a mountain was sort of training and I found that my carve muscles appreciated it.
Since I returned to the Order- it's been quiet and everyone's been concerned about Lenalee and there was buzz about the appearance of the Noah. I hoped that maybe the flowers will make her happy once she wakes up and sees it. Recounting my own experiences- it's not pleasant waking up alone... well I don't think Lenalee will have to worry with Komui around.
I walk down the dark and dreary hallway of the Order. I made a mental note to bug Komui about redecorating. Just some blues, yellows and oranges would make it feel more warm and inviting.
"It's like before..." a voice utters breaking the dead silence. The voice makes me stop from walking into the room. "You're here as soon as I wake up. Have you forgotten? The day you came to the Order."
"No. I remember," comes Komui voice not as obnoxious as it usually is.
"Where's Allen?" she asks.
"He's on a mission. He's gone with Kanda to retrieve and Innocence fragment," answers Komui.
"I see," she sounded sad and I wondered if the two are a cannon pairing- did she want him to be there when she wakes up?
I felt like I was intruding... I could just walk away and come back later but something within me made feel like I'd regret it. Lenalee sounded so depressed and if it was Carol I would be googling the shirtless pictures of Thor.
I look toward the door determined.
Should I make a flashy entrance? Who do I know has the flashiest entrance? Hmm...
"Dynamic Entry!" I cry making Komui jump. I could see the two siblings sweatdrop at my over the top Might Gai pose.
Hip cocked out with a signature flirty wink.
"Bonnie-san," blinks Lenalee.
"It's just Bonnie!" I correct her. A brief silence followed and I fumbled as I presented her the paper flowers. I see her look at it in surprise. She trembles as she sits up with the help of Komui.
"I couldn't find flowers in town and sunflowers always make me happy so I improvised," I explain as she grasps her hands around the paper stems and gently brushes a yellow petal.
I bit my lip perturbed that the flowers aren't as pretty as I wanted. It would of been better if I found glitter or painted some darker shades to give the flowers a little texture.
"I mean, not everyone likes sunflowers. I can always do another flower you like-" I begin to fill in the silence with my unease.
"No," she stops me giving me a comforting smile. "I like them," she says caressing the petals.
"Really."
"Yes," she assures.
We find ourselves in comfortable silence which was broken by Komui standing up.
"I need to report to Head Offices now. Bonnie will it be alright to ask you to keep Lenalee company?" asks Komui with a smile directed my way that made me bashful.
"Sure," I smile making my way to his vacated chair and plopped myself down. Lenalee and I follow his steps as he makes his way out of the room.
I took note of the dark bare room which was depressing. This miserable room was definitely the cause of Lenalee's missing smile. I wonder if-
"I'm sorry," her voice interrupts my mental deliberation. Her eyebrows scrunched together while she determined her next words. "You just got back from a mission. You should rest Bonnie," she says.
"I actually didn't do much for the mission. Kanda did all the heavy lifting," I admit.
"Kanda did?"
"Hmm, I was quiet useless honestly," I say and then recognize that the only reason I'm trying so hard was to make myself feel better rather than Lenalee. If I can get Lenalee to feel better then I'm accomplishing something in this world.
I take note of the uneaten warm soup on the side table. If I was in my own world, Carol and I would be binge watching something on Netflix
"Then- how about a bed time story?" I say abruptly.
"Bedtime story?" she repeats.
"Heard of the Little Mermaid?" I ask. "Eat your soup and I will tell you a story." I tell her.
"The story about the mermaid who turns into sea foam?" she asks.
I shake my head. "No, this is a different story- has a nicer end," I tell her hoping the Disney version would make her smile.
When Carol and I applied for college we had to do community service to make our application look better. We did our community service at a Shelter. There was children who we use to entertain with Disney songs and I end up smiling at the memory of our rendition of Make a Man out of You from the Mulan movie.
A Disney retelling would definitely make her happier.
"Once upon a time there was a sixteen year old mermaid princess named Ariel, who is dissatisfied with her life under the sea and was curious about the human world-" as I begin the tale- I make my voice sultry imitating Ursula, lower my voice for King Tritons lines and do an awesome Jamaican accent for Sebastian.
Lenalee reminded me off the children of the shelter but unlike with them I had fun weaving a story she hasn't heard about before. She laughed as I sang the only song I knew well from the movie Part of Your World from Jodi Benson. Carol always loved how I sang this song. I always did have fun switching from singing to talking in the middle of the song as Ariel tried to remember the words used for legs and fire.
" -King Triton willingly changes her from a mermaid into an human using the power of the trident. Ariel is elated, dressed in a white dress provided by her father she emerges from the sea running into the waiting arms of Prince Eric where the two finally kiss," I swoon ending story and feeling thirsty for water and my own Prince.
Lenalee smiles looking like a little kid who just saw Micky Mouse for the first time. Applauding as I ended with the signature 'and they lived happy ever after' spiel.
"Did you come up with the story?" asks Lenalee in awe.
"No! I mean- I had uncle... um Uncle Disney- he told me the story," I stutter.
"Did-" she began.
"Enough about me now," I interrupt wanting a subject change. "Be honest... Why were you so upset?," I ask.
She looks at me surprised and turns her gaze downwards. I couldn't see her eyes. I almost regretted bringing it up. I remembered the concern on Komui's face- does it have anything to do with her mission?
"Does it have something to do with Allen?" I ask shooting in the dark.
"He makes me so mad!" she bursts out and I startle jumping in my seat. "Why am I even friends with him?!" she continues and I blink wondering what the hell Allen did in that mission.
"I think I need a little more information before I go 'John Tucker must die' on his ass," I tell Lenalee.
"What?" she blinks at the reference in confusion.
"Um I mean, what did he do?" I ask.
Then Lenalee tells me about meeting an accommodator/new exorcist named Miranda, the town, the clock, the Noah and how Allen almost dies sacrificing himself.
At first I didn't understand. I mean the protagonist in all stories risk their lives like that but then as she spoke about how selfish he was to risk his life when he could of trusted her to fight with him. I started to feel a little upset on her behalf too.
Men... I mean Allen wasn't alone! Lenalee was there- he should of trusted her to fight with him. If he died then Lenalee would feel guilty. I would feel guilt if I was Lenalee.
"Make him work for your forgiveness," I tutor her. "Trust me, until he bows his head for forgiveness then you would really know he won't do it again," I advice her.
"I don't even think I'm ready to talk to him," she mumbles.
That bad... I hope I never get on Lenalee's bad side.
"That's fine too. You are allowed to be mad. Friends get mad at each other all the time. Once you guys reconcile your bond of friendship would be stronger," I say. I bite back a groan at the wording- 'bond of friendship?' I was falling down the Naruto hole again.
"Bonnie, thank you... not just for just listening to me but for the flowers, the story and making me smile," she declares attacking me with a smile that had the strength of a thousand suns.
"We're friends, if I wasn't doing this then I'm not doing my job well."
Not use to taking such gratitude I excused myself to my room leaving the girl to rest making her laugh as I moonwalk out of there.
Well- mission accomplished. Lenalee was feeling better.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I walked to the cafeteria in deep thought contemplating my breakfast. Avocado toast or French toast- that is the question.
"Bonnie!"
I jump slightly at the sudden voice and see the Allen.
"Oh hey, you're back from your mission," I say conversationally. Should I be mad at him too? I haven't seen Allen in days since my drunk meltdown after our welcome party.
"I heard you were on a mission with Kanda," he says blinking curiously.
"Yeah," I say.
This is so awkward. Should I say something. I mean- I shouldn't get involved with Lenalee and Allen's argument and Allen hasn't done anything to me...
"Welcome back," we both chorus at the same time.
We both look at each other in surprise and start chuckling.
"Sorry, I'm a little bit in a daze today," I apologize. "Did you have breakfast? You can tell me about your mission- we should catch up," I suggested.
"I have another mission. I just saw Jery," he says ruefully.
"You just got back," I have no I idea why I said that.
I could see he's taken aback in surprise and I begin to feel warmth around my neck. I just sounded like a child. Inwardly cringing, a flicker of gold had caught my gaze.
"I mean, um we haven't seen each other in a while and I miss Timcanpy," my gaze follows as the golden snitch flies near me and I grasp it in my hands. I see a little redness on the surface and wondered if it got injured.
Is it blushing?
"I think Timcanpy missed you too," smiles Allen chuckling at the little golem.
Oh great my love interest is a golem.
"Allen!" calls Reever's voice.
"I have to go- we can catch up another time," he says then looks at Timcanpy. "Let's go Tim!" he calls.
"Um Allen!" I call making him stop as he turns back to me. I keep my gaze of Timcanpy situated on his shoulder. "Come back safe and be sure to apologize properly to Lenalee," I say and I turn around hurriedly making my way to the cafeteria.
"Huh?" I could hear his voice.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx
I spent the few days stewing and training. Everyone was preoccupied with paperwork. Kanda was apparently missing so Lenalee and Allen were sent out on a mission to locate him.
There weren't any other exorcists around and I was busy wondering if that swordsman was okay. I mean he wasn't my favorite character or person but I was worried about ripple effects that my being here could cause. Like Kanda's early death.
Why wasn't I chosen for a mission?
Bang
My aim is getting better. I stop and eye the bulls eye. I shift back into my stance.
Bang
The mission was at Rome... I wanted to go to Rome.
Bang!
I hope Lenalee gets me a gift... I should of seen her off.
Bang
Is Kanda alright?
Bang
"Bonnie! Chief says you have a mission!" calls Reever.
I startle and bit back a yelp my arrow missing it's mark completely.
CRASH!
I really needed to learn some observational Haki.
