Done with another volume Yay!
It's getting harder to write- you people have no clue how hard it is to keep Kanda in character... He's so troublesome! XD
Anyway, I love reviews!
I do not own D. Gray- Man!
Chapter 40:
We ran down the corridors. It felt slower than usual, my leg was burning, I'd discarded my crutch and sling, they were just weighing me down.
We ran through a main hallway. A main hallway because there were a few in the complex known as The Black Order. I looked ahead and saw a chandelier fall down over where Chaoji was.
"Che." And I saw Kanda sprint ahead, grab a sword from a random guard and cut the chandelier into pieces. I caught up a moment latter. "What a useless weapon." He growled as the sword broke. "Che."
"Come on, there's an armory a floor above, there should be swords." I grabbed him activating my innocence and jumped to the next floor. I caught the railing and flung him over it then pulled myself up. I was a little mad because I could usually make these jumps easy! Not to mention my arm and leg were burning, telling- sorry, yelling- at me to stop. But me being stubborn, I didn't listen. My friends were under attack. I pounded down the door to the armory and was highly disappointed. There were only two swords. Tons of guns, all kinds of guns of various sizes, but only two swords!
"Che."
"Seriously." I agreed with him completely, it was maddeningly unhelpful! "This way, to where the third gate is!" We ran down the hallway together, and for once fighting with someone seemed right. Not fighting against someone, but alongside someone. It felt so right.
We ran into the room to see the Akuma with it's finger to Komui's neck. We sprinted at it. We didn't even need to talk to one another, he went for the Akuma and I went for Komui, pulling him down to the ground. He only got a scratch on his shoulder. Kanda's sword broke and he dropped it and pulled the other one out. I rose and took my place by his side.
"Shit, Komui, you bastard, you really need to work on the weapon storehouse a bit more."
"Kanda! Hannah!" Komui said surprised.
"Head officer, are you all right?" One of the finders asked, they'd caught the Akuma in a talisman barrier.
"Use all your energy and focus on the enemy!" Komui ordered. "Don't give it a chance to attack!" Kanda and I stood at the ready, the thing was laughing. It looked human, it wasn't a level three, I didn't know what level it was. But whatever the level, it was strong and it was laughing. Not good.
"Don't move. Stay back, Komui."
"Kanda?!" Komui said surprised by the order, he was the one who gave orders. "Don't go crazy you two. Kanda, you don't have innocence, and Hannah, your bones are still broken."
"We don't go down that easy." Was Kanda's reply, he was probably going to say more, but Hevaleska's voice came through Komui's ear piece.
"Komui, can you hear me? Komui, come to where I am. I will attract the level four. Take the innocence inside of me and get out of here! Fortunately the ark is still connected to the Asia headquarters with the gate, if you stay here the damage will only continue to increase. As long as there is innocence we can rebuild the main headquarters. Komui-"
"We still have Lenalee Lee's power Hevaleska!" Leverrier's voice came through the ear piece, the Akuma was beginning to touch the walls of it's cage to determine that it wouldn't hurt him.
"She's still unusable. Exorcists are not tools." It was nice to hear Hevaleska say these words, it felt like we were no more than tools most of the time. "A half-hearted synch will only serve to kill the exorcist."
"The innocence were created to destroy Akuma right? Why aren't you using it?" I hated Leverrier! He understood nothing about the war or the innocence! All he knew was the politics! And politics was why people died.
I turned my attention back to the Akuma seeing as how it had started pushing the walls of its cage. It looked like it was weakening them too.
"Calling all department heads!" Komui's voice broke through the silence. "I'm going to say this once, so listen carefully. You are to follow my directions and lead the entirety of your individual departments. Take the number three ark gate and evacuate to the Asia branch headquarters. As the status of the exorcists in the fifth laboratory is currently unknown, our first priority will be to protect the innocence and prevent its annihilation." Komui's orders were clear and left no room for argument. "We are evacuating headquarters!"
