Chapter 1
To XxbluepandaxX: I semi-fixed that. Didn't fix it well, but added the intenseness of the stares and awkwardness. That's all I can really do because I'm still an amateur.
To Risembool Ranger8: Thank you for following, and I'm glad you think they're in character. I try my best.
To Here Comes The End: Yeah but... Oh well. XD It's just a little fact. It's not all that important in the story. I think. I hope not.
To sparklehannah: Thank you! :D And I'm glad I could add something a little different. Okay, a lot different, but whatever.

Chapter 2
To Risembool Ranger8: I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far! Thank you for reading.
To readwithcats: Yay... Cross... And yes, this takes place sometime between the original and Hallow.
To Cutiepie120048: Bookman... Boy is that another chapter. But he will arrive. Eventually.
To Ryuakilover: Good point. Why cover for Komui when his experiments can either cause disaster, or almost kill people?
To Anon: While I completely understand where you're coming from, you'll just have to get used to it. It's just one of my old quirks/habits. I know it probably annoys you, I get that a lot. It's just something that I've done in all my stories, be it on Wattpad, DeviantArt, or here. But thank you for the criticism. As for the 'dying from cuteness' thing... I didn't do it for 'quirkiness' or cuteness. My stories are always like that. If you read stories I've written on other websites, you'd get that. But still, I'm glad you like the plot. I'll try to only do it if I feel it's necessary.
To Guest: See my response to readwithcats.

Author: ShadowTrooper1414/FireFox9995

Rating: T

Summary: It was supposed to be a normal day at the Black Order. Unfortunately, Komui had other plans. What happens when our main four protagonists are hit by one of Komui's strange components?

Warnings: Mild cussing

Disclaimer: I don't own D. Gray-Man or any of its characters.


It was dead silent as Allen stood from the table. He slowly and grudgingly made his way over to Cross.

"Good morning... Master..." he said in a manner that was quite awkward.

"Stupid apprentice!" Cross shouted, smacking Allen upside the head and causing the 15-turned-11-year-old to fall to the floor face first. Lavi cringed.

Allen sat up on his knees, cradling his head in a hand. "OOW! What was that for?!"

"Being an idiot." Cross sniffed. Johnny ran up and whispered something to Cross, causing the general's brow to furrow. "Well that idiot supervisor better fix things. I don't think I'll be able to stand my stupid apprentice when he's like this."

"What do you mean, 'when he's like this'? Is there something we should know about?" Lavi asked, slowly making his way over.

"Damn Bookman apprentice." Cross muttered. "Always too observant for his own good." Then louder, "Ask that damned supervisor of yours."

With that, Cross turned and was about to leave. Unfortunately for him, Allen recovered fairly quickly and was on his feet.

"You're not leaving, Master." the white-haired boy said, crossing his arms.

Cross looked over his shoulder. "Oh? And why's that?"

"You need to explain." Allen seethed.

"Like I said before, ask that idiot Komui." Cross said. "You know I don't like to repeat myself."

And with that, Cross left the cafeteria. Allen scowled at the ground, then let out a sigh, trying to calm himself. Before he could fully regain his bearings, though, Lavi grabbed his wrist and they, well Lavi, dragging Allen along, walked over to Lenalee and Kanda.

"That Komui guy is your brother, right, Lenalee?" Lavi said, though the question was more like a statement, as he let go of Allen's hand.

"Yeah, but... How do you know my name?" Lenalee asked.

"Hmm..." Lavi tapped his chin with his hand before shrugging. "Dunno. It kinda just felt... right, you know what I mean?"

Lenalee looked at the table with a quizzical look, but looked up at Lavi and nodded a moment later. "I've had that feeling a few times. Mostly today, but still."

"So back to the subject before..." Allen butt in.

"Right, right." Lavi chuckled. "Shouldn't we go ask Komui what's wrong with how we are?"

"I suppose." Lenalee said. "It'd help to know why we're being stared at."

"Then let's go!" Allen said, turning around sharply and heading towards the door before stopping abruptly and turning around. "Where is Komui's office?"

Lenalee gave a giggle, then stood. Kanda let out a 'tch', but followed the girl's lead. Lenalee opened the door of the cafeteria, then started down a hall. Unfortunately, they ran into a certain blonde haired Inspector.

After the kids passed, in quite a loud manner, might I add, Link had one thought.

'Walker?!'


I know it's shorter than the other two, but I ran into some... unfortunate... writer's block. Hopefully, my inspiration won't be delayed any longer. Expect an update either next week or the week after.

Read, review, criticism is encouraged and welcomed, flames will be used for s'mores. Have a good day!
