Class, Settle Down!
GOMEN!!!!! I have taken so long! Schoolwork and my holiday are to blame,also many other problems have been cropping up recently.
To this chapter, I have added an OC (Haru - AKA me!) and...no. I'm not telling you. Read and find out!
Disclaimer:
I don't own Naruto, D.Gray-man, or anything/anyone part from Haru.
Nya!
The white-haired girl stared at the passage, puzzled. She had seen strangely dressed student rip off a trap-door and fearlessly jump in. She just couldn't think what was going on.
"Hey! Haru! What are you doing?" flicking her long, straight hair, Haru cast her silver eyes to the direction of the voice.
"Er, nothing...Listen, could you please tell Mr.Kabuto that I'm not able to make it to lessons today? I'll give him an absence slip later," she called to her friend (who happened to be one of those guys that get easily mistaken for girls).
"Come on! You know I can tell you're lying!" He giggled slightly, then straightened his face, keeping a gentle smile on his lips. "Wherever you plan to go, I'm coming with you," he swiftly jumped to where she was standing. Haru couldn't help but grin - he knew her so well! Slightly relieved, she whispered, "Thanks, Haku..." and jumped into the passage, the boy following close after.

In the end, Team 7 and the exorcists only managed to get Hinata to come with them, partially because Kanda was glaring daggers at anyone who dared walk past, but mostly because everyone else was out on missions. (A/N: and perhaps because keeping track of so many characters is hard.)
"That baka, baka, baka..ahou Moyashi..." Kanda cursed for what seemed like the millionth time and punched Lee, who was doing 'Waves of Youthful Love' (also known as WYL) behind him, out of the way.
"So. Any ideas where we could start?" Sakura had hands on her hips, peering closely at Sasuke's face, which seemed to have a light scratch after a close call with Mugen.
"Eh, not really...How about the forest? Maybe that path where we were?" Lenalee suggested.
"Let's fly!!"
And with absolutely no hesitation, Lavi got everyone to grab the pole of his hammer (our nin were very confused) and flew as quick as possible to the small track that was stamped out between trees. Some people, Hinata for example, did not find the ride enjoyable.

After everyone finally calmed down, a search began, a great search where no-one knew what they were searching for.
"I think I found something!!" Naruto called the others around a small object that he had found inside the cave. It was a hair pin. Kanda suddenly flinched.
"We've got company," he hissed, and now, Sasuke too had narrowed his eyes, listening intently. "Down!"
Everyone dropped behind some greenery, and watched in surprise as two figures in school uniform (one in a skirt, the other in trousers) appeared: two girls, apparently. They seemed to be lost, as both were looking around, shaking their heads and saying something.
"Unarmed," Hinata whispered, Byuakagan activated. "But..." she paused. "Enourmous...giant Chakras!"
Everyone was now staring in suspicion at the strangers, Lavi looking thoughtful.
"Hey!" Sakura looked around. "Where's Naruto??"
"That...idiot!" Sasuke pointed and now everyone could see the blond-haired striding towards the strangers. Everyone sighed as they realised they would have to come out of their hiding place and follow Naruto.
"Hello, Girls!" Naruto saluted slightly. "What're you doing here?"
"Umm, actually, I was...errr...I don't know..." The white-haired twiddled with her hair. She couldn't say she was looking for them, could she?
"We're lost," The other simply said, looking past him. "Who are those people back there?"
"Eh??" Naruto snapped around, and saw to his dismay the others had followed him. God, now they're totally gonna swoon over Sasuke...As usual.
"Hello," Lenalee smiled and introduced everyone. Of course she didn't say they were exorcists and shinobi. That would totally kill their plan.
"I'm Haku, and she's-"
"Haru!"
"-yes, and actually, we'd like to know where we are...?" He looked at the shocked faces of Sakura and Sasuke. "Huh? Is something wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!" He chuckled. So did Naruto. So Sakura elbowed him in the side, really hard.
"YOU IDIOT! Don't you realise who this is??" She hissed at him while Haku blinked. Naruto started peering really closely at Haru.
"Nope, Sakura-chan. I haven't ever seen her before," He pointed.
Sakura slapped her face in her utter annoyance. "You idiot!!"

Kanda was walking away. He did not want to stay with pshycos and unwanted get-in-the-ways. He needed to rescue All-no, Moyashi, and only he alone seemed to realise the importance and urgency of this. Only Lenalee had noticed him leaving: Lavi was too preoccupied with staring at Sakura, who was killing Naruto, who was trying to kill Sasuke, who was glaring at the strangers, who were asking Hinata why she went so red when they asked Naruto if she was his girlfriend.
Basically, a terrible mess.
"Hey, guys, I think we really should get going. Look, Kanda already has," Lenalee tried to grasp everyone's attention and failed miserably.
"EVERYONE!!!!!!" She shouted, and instantly it went silent. "We have to continue our...search, because Kanda thinks we've lost enough time already. Well, I think he does. What we should do is split up; half of us can escort these two students to the Hokage, while the others should carry on. I'm going with Kanda. Lavi can-"
"STAY WITH SAKURA!" He volunteered and everyone sweatdropped.
"-Fine, you do that. Hinata, Naruto, I think you two should come with us. Until then, see you," She waved kindly to everyone who wasn't coming with her and ran to catch up with Kanda, Naruto and Hinata following soon after.

He had escaped. Perhaps not for long, but it was a success. Allen had managed to get out. He had no idea where he was, but by the thickness of the air, he could tell it wasn't England, and likely not anywhere he had ever been. It was a forest; that was what he saw when he scrambled out of the underground cave. Just a large, green forest. And there was no-one around.
Apart from that.
Allen stared in horror as he realised what he was seeing - none other than Komurin VIII!
His eye twitched as Kanda's voice sounded in his head, 'I told you, Moyashi, never help Komui in letting any of his crazy experiments escape!'
And now he wished he had listened, This reunion was not very pleasant as Komurin decided he was an enemy. Soon he was running at 10000000km per hour to get away from the damned thing. And in the end, he had to give in and destroy it. However, it was not without receiving a sleeping dart in the neck, and he collapsed on the floor.
When he awoke, he almost screamed. A woman was bent over him, her hands glowing. She was slightly surprised that he was awake, but quickly resumed a state of indifference.
"Call the Kazekage," the lady whispered to a guy wearing a black suit who was watching from nearby. He shrugged and stalked off. The nurse smiled at Allen. "Sir, you seem to have something stuck in your hand...I need to take it out," She explained slowly as if he couldn't understand speech and her hands started glowing again.
"No!" Allen clutched at his right arm protectively. "Stay away!!"
"But, Sir..."
"DON'T!!!" The nurse was about to reply when a red-haired man with the character for 'love' on his forehead stepped into the room and calmly told her to stop. Behind him was a girl with four bunches and the same black-suit guy. The nurse bowed and hurried out of the room. Allen eyed them suspiciously: they didn't look much older than himself.
"What am I doing here?" He demanded, still frightened by the hands scenario.
"We found you collapsed on the border of our village, along with strange machinery that we are taking apart," The girl explained. Allen decided he liked her, but she was dressed oddly. Not that the others weren't. And the same symbol was carved into metal on each of their headbands.
"What village are you?" The red-haired asked slowly.
"Eh? Village?" Allen had no clue what he was talking about.
"You know, ninja village? Like, Konoha?" The guy in make-up obviously thought that if you didn't know what the conversation was about, you were insane.
"Umm...I'm from...the Black Order..." Allen was going to point at the crest on his coat when he realised he was naked. "Ah!! My clothes!!" He scanned the room, not finding them anywhere.
"Actually, we just ripped them into shreds, we didn't have enough bandages," Make-up person shrugged nonchalantly.
"KANKURO!" The woman seemed very annoyed. "I got the coat here. Gotta say, never seen one like it..very strange."
"Please can I have it back," Allen pouted a bit. After all, she had just called his coat (consequently him) strange. Not that he could argue with that.
"The Black Order...what is that?" he was being intimidated by suspicious blue, perhaps slightly cold eyes. It reminded him of Kanda.
"Umm, well, it's this religious organisation..we kill Akuma," he tried to explain while getting dressed undercovers.
"We? Akuma?"
Allen was feeling sightly uncomfortable. He wondered what Yuu and the others were doing. No doubt searching for him, who was currently sitting in a hospital somewhere. Somewhere.
"We...we. Could you please tell me where I am? What country?" Allen pleaded.
"Look outside the window, duh," Kankuro spread his arms. So he did. It was very sandy: lots and lots of sand. Like the Sahara desert.
"Somewhere in Africa?" He suggested.
Gaara's eyes widened, but he didn't admit that he didn't know this 'Africa'. "No."
"Did you recieve a head injury? It's the sand village!" The woman looked at him carefully, then sighed. "Are you a foreigner?"
"Yes," Allen was relieved that she had found an explanation. "I'm from England."
"Never heard of the place," Kankuro dismissed the thought with a flick of his fingers.
"Okay. This is Kankuro, Gaara, and I am Temari. You are in the Sand Village. No serious wounds, something wrong with your hand, facial scar, White hair. That's what it said in the report about you, anyway."
"Right.." Now Allen had to get out. "Umm, where is the nearest Finder? Or, can you you give me map?" He was handed a map. By this time the Sand nin had made up their mind that this boy was slightly gone in the head.
"EHHHHH????"
