Okay, last chapter for this upload- hope they didn't bore you.
I do not own D. Gray- Man
Chapter 20:
I read the file and learned that the Noah's were like super-humans on the Earls side.
I like to make things simple. Maybe too simple for some people. But for me it's perfect. The simplicity, that is. I find that when you keep things simple, they stay clear. They don't get muddled.
One reason why I hate politics- there's no such thing as simple. Because nothing is clear.
So yeah, the Noah coming out shows that the Earl is getting serious. Well, more serious than what he was. We were going to China to join Cross's team because their boat got toasted and they need to go to Japan. Apparently something happened to Allen Walker too, thought the file didn't say what. He wasn't dead- otherwise it would have said so.
So, I was off to find Cross. Did I ever say that I hate that man? And I mean hate. He was horrible. When I saw him he stank like booze. He was so drunk he started hitting on me- I was 13. But the thing that really got me was the way he treated women in general. Apparently he uses them then looses them. I'd been in the order long enough to see him doing this. And when he tried to flirt with me it just made me mad. He had also hit on the rest of Cloud Nine's unit. Including the General. He was despicable. He gave males a bad name.
"Um, we're here." Miranda said tentatively. We got off the train and a man wearing white robs that belonged to the Asian branch of the order came toward us.
One of the good things to being a veteran in the Order was that you had been to so many places- to all the continents (Except Antarctica- if you call that a continent). You know what the branches look like and a few people there. If they hadn't died yet…
"Hello, I'm Wong, I'll take you to the ship." He led us from the station to the docks and to the ship that looked like it had just gone through a Swiss cheese making machine. It had more holes than I could count and as I looked on deck, there was so much damage I was surprised the ship was still floating.
"Can you fix this?" I asked Miranda quietly.
"Yes, I just need to check the ship to see how much damage we're talking about fixing. With that she left to inspect the ship. Tripping and apologizing to no one.
I really didn't get her. She was sweet. But so weird. And she had no confidence. No matter what she did, there was no confidence. I just didn't get it.
"Do you read me, Lavi?" I heard Bookman's voice and turned to see him standing on the dock with Wong.
"What?" Came Lavi's reply from the golem.
"Come back to the harbor. An emissary has arrived."
"An emissary?" Lavi asked puzzled. I looked around Bookman, there were others besides Wong. There was a beautiful Chinese woman and next to her was a bald man- no, he had breasts and ear rings!- it was a woman! Poor woman. And then there was another exorcist I'd never seen before. Probably another new recruit.
We were getting a lot of those lately.
But new recruits meant more rookies. Rookies were dangerous. One, you could teach and watch over when the battle was going on. But too many spelled trouble. I mean, there were three rookies now (A rookie is anyone who's been in the order for less than a year). Allen, Miranda and the guy down there. I leaned on the railing of the boat and sighed.
This meant trouble.
