11th chapter- enjoy!

Sorry for the late update, you guys! And guess what? I'm a highschooler now! Yep, I graduated from grade school and I'm slightly happy and a little bit worried for the next school year... And let's not forget the things I'll be missing... Manong guard, sleeping in the corridors while waiting for lady guard to open the classroom, the teachers, the canteen... While I take a trip back to memory lane, go read the chapter.

Sadly, I do not own D. Gray Man. But I do own my OCs. :):


The Exorcists' Heist Society

"E-Exorcists' Heist... Society?" Lenalee stammered, the curiosity obvious in her tone.

"Yeah!" Lavi said, his head bopping up and down out of excitement. "You know, since we're going to steal, I thought it would be nice to have a cool name for our group!"

"Wha...?"

"S-Steal?" Allen blurted out. "I don't prefer that term..."

"Same here," Miyagumi agreed. "And it's not exactly what you would call steal... I guess—I mean—"

Lavi snorted. "Coming from the vampire who stole from a bank,"

Miyagumi shot him a look. "The circumstances were different!"

"Who was the first to find the Innocence?" Kanda suddenly asked. The other three were hesitant to reply. "Just answer it!"

"Um, the excavators, I guess. Then the current director of the museum bought it from them for, like, thousands of pounds or something..." Miyagumi replied slowly.

"Where is it now?"

"In the Henry Museum," Allen mumbled.

"I guess that settles it!" Lavi concluded. "Unless you guys have a million to bribe the owner. Besides, even if you guys have a million bucks, it would take a long time to set an appoint—"

"Fine," Miyagumi sighed, sighing, sinking onto the soft couch. "What's our plan?"

"Easy," Lavi grinned, "we break in, make sure we don't get caught, get the Innocence, make sure we don't get caught, run out of the museum, make sure we don't get caught, and voila! We're back in HQ, safe and sound, the Innocence in our hands!"

"We need more details than that," Warlock scoffed.

Kanda sighed, glaring at Lavi. "The museum closes at ten during the weekdays, and at ten-thirty during weekends. The security guards that were questioned said that the exhibits usually come alive an hour or two after closing time—"

"Wait," Allen interrupted, therefore receiving a scowl Kanda, "isn't it strange? Didn't they at least close the museum the first time it happened? And—"

"They did," Kanda huffed. "A person in his right mind would! But a person in his right mind wouldn't believe about these stuff happening either, which was why people thought the guards were crazy. No one believed them—even if they saw the mess those exhibits made. The media thought some thieves broke in and gave the guards a drug to make them hallucinate. But the public started to get suspicious after it happened repeatedly... They thought ghosts were behind the chaos. We know better, of course."

"Ha!" Warlock snickered. "Didn't that museum close its doors then reopened a lot of times? Maybe they should just use holy water or move to a different location."

"Yeah, and take the Innocence with them."

"So ignore that question," Allen started again. "But... uh, how do I put this...? Um..." He mumbled to himself, scratching his head.

"What?" Kanda hissed impatiently.

"How it happens repeatedly?" Miyagumi asked, looking up from the folder full of reports. "The paintings, statues, and such causing chaos in the museum, I mean?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Looks like Beansprout's using his head today," Lavi teased, messing up Allen's hair.

After the teasing and bickering ended, they all stared at Kanda for an answer, and so the blue-haired Exorcist stared back.

"Tell me how should I know?" Kanda snapped after several seconds of staring and awkward silence, slightly embarrassed. But he didn't show it, of course. His cold eyes darted around until they landed on Miyagumi, like two bullets ready to aim. "The reports are with you! Care to share?"

Miyagumi's eyes widened from surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. "Sorry," she deadpanned, "care to add a 'please' next time? And throw in a 'thank you.'" She rolled her eyes then continued scanning the reports. "Ah, here's one! It says that a few weeks after the museum closed for a long period, the art exhibits stopped coming to life. Um, but two hours before the... third reopening, staff found the guards unconscious and saw the first two floors of the museum all messed up again. By the way, only the exhibits from the first and second floors come alive."

"This is getting so weird! First those art exhibits burn down some stairs and now they put people to sleep? What's next?" Lavi exclaimed, both amazed and confused. "So many questions left unanswered..."

"Can we just get back to the main problem... please?" Kanda demanded, glaring at Miyagumi then at Allen. "You, if only you didn't interrupt me with that stupid question of yours, we could've been halfway through the plan!"

"What? Doesn't asking make things clearer?"

"Not when you're asking dumb questions, you little—"

"Allen, Kanda! Please stop...!" Lenalee pleaded, looking at both boys with meaningful experssions. "If you two continue fighting, we might not..." She stopped herself when she saw that they looked like they weren't going to draw out highly dangerous weapons.

Taking it as a cue, Miyagumi turned to Kanda and said, "Kanda... I think you can continue now."

Never taking his narrow eyes off Allen, he grumbled: "Those guards are probably expecting for the exhibits to come alive, so we should expect more security to be present... and a lot to be stationed inside the museum. But there isn't that much—or none at all—guarding the backyard."

"There's a backyard?" Warlock gasped. "What is that place? A mansion?"

"How'd you know that, Kanda?"

"From observation," Kanda snorted, as if it could've been more obvious. "Before we left to find a hotel, we decided to take a look around the museum. I thought that your lot would be busy looking for the Innocence. And if you ever did find it, you won't bother finding ways how to enter the museum at night." He smirked, a proud glint in his eyes.

Miyagumi imagined him say: "I'm smart like that." Or did he really say that?

Allen rolled his eyes in an irritating fashion before responding. "Alright, so we go in... through the backyard or whatever you call it?"

In response, Kanda turned to Lavi and raised an eyebrow. Lavi sighed and walked to the long table placed near the glass windows. He pushed aside the vase then plopped down his notebook. Everyone huddled around the redhead, except for Kanda, who stood off a little to the side.

Lavi opened the tattered notebook, flipping past writings, doodles, and pictures of... women? "Hehehe..." Lavi laughed nervously. "Remind me to remove these pictures later. Gramps is going kill me."

After several seconds, Lavi stopped and pointed to a skilfully drawn blueprint of what seemed like the Henry Museum.

"Wow," Allen mumbled. "Got to hand it to you, Lavi. This is great!"

"Thanks! And it only took me nine tries to get it right!" Lavi said brightly, giving his friend a huge grin. The grin slowly disappeared after seeing Kanda give him his signature death glare. "Alright, this is what we're going to do..."

oo00oo

Maybe Lavi should've drawn more trees and grass for the backyard, Miyagumi thought as she flicked a piece of grass from her shoulder. And maybe mud.

"Kanda's right," Lenalee whispered to her, "We haven't encountered a single guard."

"Yet," Miyagumi added.

Lenalee sigh-shrugged. "I wonder why?"

"Maybe they are more focused to guard the front and the inside." Miyagumi offered.

"Yes, maybe... And it doesn't seem like they don't care about this backyard either. The grass is so tall, I bet the last they cut this was about twenty-five years ago!"

"I hardly see anything,"

"Me too!" Lenalee giggled.

After a few minutes of walking, they stopped in front of a rusty metal door with a push bar. Miyagumi looked at Lenalee and nodded. The other Exorcist quietly walked to the door and pushed it. It didn't budge. She pushed it again with more force, but still, it didn't swing open.

"I can't open it,"

"Let me try,"

With a grunt, Miyagumi pushed hard. The door was still closed. She turned to her back and leaned, pushing.

"Ugh," Miyagumi groaned, "it's locked!"

"Really, detective?" Warlock muttered sarcastically. "Try your Innocence."

"Hmmm... What do you think?" Miyagumi turned to Lenalee. "A gun or sword?"

"A sword? Less noise, less people will be attracted." Lenalee suggested.

The Japanese nodded her head, and opened her palm. A spinning blue card appeared and glowed faintly. Moments later, a gleaming sword with a wicked blade appeared in her hands.

"Let's hope this works. Step back," she instructed. Lenalee didn't hesitate to. Miyagumi inhaled and exhaled, then let out a "Hiyaah!" and slashed the push bar. In the second "Hiyaah," the door was sliced into two.

"Good job," Lenalee complimented. "I wonder what people would think when they see this later."

"They won't. They don't go in the backyard."

The two snickered softly as they stepped foot in the darkened, slightly damp room.

"Where are we?" Miyagumi asked.

"Janitor's closet," Lenalee replied, lifting a fallen mop.

"So what are we going do now?"

"Wait. We're just the backup team,"

Miyagumi glared into the darkness. "I hate being the backup."

"Shh!" Lenalee shushed, lifting a finger to her mouth. "Listen," she whispered, pointing to the door. The two stopped bickering and leaned closer to the door.

"Did you hear those noises earlier, Lorenzo?" A man's muffled voice asked.

"No, you know me. I'm kind of deaf." Another man, Lorenzo, boomed

"Do you think that noise were the art—"

"I told you, I didn't hear any noise!" Lorenzo practically shouted.

"Be quiet, Lorenzo! You might scare the thieves... or the art exhibits!"

Lorenzo sighed so loudly, the Exorcists were able to hear it through the door.

"It could be the other guy's turn to be deaf if Lorenzo keeps on shouting," Miyagumi joked.

"Shhh!" Lenalee scolded, but she couldn't help laughing either.

Thunk!

The pair gasped as they whiplashed to see the mop that Lenalee picked up earlier fall to the cold floor.

"Oh no," Miyagumi mouthed, picking up the mop and held it close like a shield.

"Did you hear that Lorenzo?"

"Loud enough for me to hear it, buddy."

The girls glowered at the mop at the same time.

"It was somewhere from there right?"

Time to start hiding, Miyagumi thought, looking around the cramped closet for spots. None.

"Let's see what that was,"

Just as Miyagumi was about to scramble out of the closet and suggest to Lenalee to do the same, she heard a loud, agonizing shout. The shout was quickly followed by the sound of something being blasted to smitherness.

"W-What was that?" Miyagumi whimpered.

Lenalee's big eyes grew bigger as another loud explosion filled their ears. "NO!" She jumped up and tried opening the door, but it was locked yet again. "Miyagumi!"

Without a clue on what was going on, Miyagumi slashed the door open. Lenalee dashed out, only to collide and be thrown back by a body.

"Ugh," Lenalee groaned as her head hit the floor. "W-What...? Lavi?" She poked the head of the fellow Exorcist on top of her.

"Hey, right on time. Backup's here..."

Miyagumi just had enough time to see sand-like particles swirling in the air and smell the blood around her before an akuma pointed its canons at her.


Me: Please review!
Miyagumi: You better write the next chapter fast! I just don't want to spend months frozen, staring at an akuma and its canons!
Me: I'll try...
Miyagumi: You better!
