It was just another ordinary day at the Black Order, or so everyone thought. Early in the morning the alarm bells were ringing throughout the Order. Everyone rushed to the surveillance room where Komui stood, drinking his coffee, waiting for the Gatekeeper to do a scan on the newcomer.

"What's with the alarm Komui-san?" Allen asked as he entered the room.

"It appears our new science member has arrived…" Komui happily replied. "Kanda-san, would you mind escorting our new member to the science section please…"

Kanda growled but went ahead and left to go greet the new member anyways. As quick as that, Kanda was outside standing face-to-face with her. Mai Tomiju, a fairly tall and young female with dirty-blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Her nails were painted blue to match her eyes and she already wore a science coat that matches her headband that she wore to keep her hair back.

"Are you going to stand there all day or invite me in?" She snapped.

Kanda ignored her comment and led her inside. Kanda hated scientists more than anything (due to his ridiculed past) so avoided any conversation. Oddly enough, Mai was doing the same. Making sure she kept a certain distance behind him and acted as if she was preoccupied by looking around so that a conversation would not be struck up. Entering inside the science headquarters, she was greeted by Komui who stood at the door smiling.

"Welcome! You must be Mai Tomiju" Komui said whilst holding out his hand for a handshake.

Mai ignored it and simply walked by. "Where will I be setting up?" she asked.

Komui dropped his hand and ignored the fact she didn't give a proper greeting/introduction and walked over to a door.

"This will be your science room where you can study and work on innocence. There is also a lounge district that is yours for your…*ahem*…therapy" Komui added.

By this time, Kanda stormed off heading to do some training for the day meanwhile Allen, Lavi and Lenalee decided to greet the new science member. They met up with Komui who was waiting for Mai to finish checking out the rooms she now occupies.

Lenalee walked up to give Mai a proper greeting. "Hello Mai-san. My name is Lena—"

"Yeah, yeah, I know who you are. Komui's sister. I'm busy, so why don't you wait over there." Mai reddened.

Lenalee was a little speechless and disheartened that she couldn't give her a proper introduction, but stood back to give Mai the space she wanted. Allen and Lavi looked at each other both a little surprised as well. They both decided to wait before they introduced themselves and welcome her to the Order.

After a while, Mai finished up and turned towards Komui who was leaning against the door. "So tell me, where will my chambers be?" She asked.

"Ah! Follow me…" Komui then began to guide Mai to her chamber which was on the 2nd floor along with the other science members.

"This will be your room…" Komui said as he pointed towards the room she will be occupying.

"Excellent" she said as she entered her room. Before Komui had a chance to say anything else, she slammed the door and locked it, disallowing anyone to disturb her.

Komui sighed. 'Her father did warn me about her arrogance…' he thought. Komui then left, returning to his usual duties (which did not include paperwork). Allen, Lenalee and Lavi caught up with Krory and Miranda who were taking a break in the cafeteria.

"Did you get to meet the new member?" Krory inquired.

"Yes" they replied bluntly.

"What's with the sour faces?"

"She didn't seem like she wanted anything to do with us…" Allen replied.

The gang decided it would be a good time to write in their diaries, so headed off to their chambers to occupy themselves.

Dear Diary,
Today has not started out as great as planned. The new science member had arrived, but she was not what we expected. Mai Tomiju is rather young yet she is an expert on innocence and will become Black Order's therapist. Hopefully once she settles in, I'll be able to give her a warmer welcome than the one I gave earlier on. It's already been a week and I think we're all pretty tired of filling in this diary every day. Unfortunately, Bookman is returning from a business trip later this afternoon, I'm sure Lavi will be thrilled about that. Onii-san has not given out many missions to us lately, is that from lack of Akuma attacks or because of Mai Tomiju? Whatever it is, I'm sure things will go back to normal shortly, until then I suppose.
Lenalee

As Lenalee finished signing her diary, she heard a loud noise coming from outside.

It sounded as though it was a small explosion. As Lenalee came outside, she saw Komui in tears and Mai standing on, what appeared to be, a small Komurin bot.

"MiniKOMURIN!" Komui shouted in agony.

"You are a grown man Komui-san, why not act like one?" Mai shouted back.

"I create my Komurin's to help us scientists and hopefully one day, help the exorcists as well!...they're also used to protect my sweet Lenalee from danger." He pleaded.

"Unless you want to end up in therapy I suggest you stop playing with your toys and actually do some work for once! I don't think your sister would like it if I had you transferred now would she?"

Mai was strict. Was she too strict?
Lenalee had a worried look on her face. Mai completely ignored Lenalee's appearance and was focused on the childish Komui. Komui decided that it would be best not to continue the argument now that Lenalee appeared, so left, heading back to the science district. Mai picked up the mini robot and tossed it over the rail. She turned towards Lenalee only to give her a cold stare. Lenalee backed off and returned to her room. Mai was now heading to her lounge department where she could go over the preliminary results from the evaluations.

Mai knew she made an impression on everyone, and intended to keep it that way. It didn't matter to her if she was liked or hated, she had a job to do and that was all she cared about.
