I do not own D. Gray- Man

Chapter 43:

I woke up to see the ceiling of the infirmary again. I tried sitting up, but quickly abandoned that idea due to the burning in my ribs. Even breathing wasn't fun. I could feel the casts on my arm and leg.

"Hey! Hannah's awake! Feed her something so her stomach will shut up!" I heard Lavi yell. The head nurse came over and I felt like disappearing into a hole or the ground or anywhere out of sight. Even Kanda couldn't glare like that. I sank into my pillow trying to hide from it.

"So you're up." She said coldly, sitting me up and placing two trays of food next to me.

"Sorry." I said softly, looking at the covers, anywhere but the glaring eyes.

"Sorry? For what?" He voice was snippy and tight, she was mad. "For hurting yourself more? For trying to kill yourself?"

"For making your job harder?" I asked softly, not sure what the 'right' answer was.

"For making my job hard!" I never was good at giving the 'right' answer. Or for that matter, doing and saying the 'right' thing. I tended to be too honest for the 'right' stuff. But the head nurse didn't seem to want another answer because she moved over to Allen's bed to check on him. He was passed out and looking at him, he looked bad.

"How bad do you think you are, Hannah?" I picked up the fork and started eating the food presented beside me.

"Broken arm, leg and ribs?" My answer to Lavi's question came out as a question in itself.

"How many broken ribs?" I swallowed my mouthful of food.

"All of them?"

"Wow, you're good."

I just ate, slowly, it hurt to eat because of the movement.

"Che. I told you not to come." That made me look around to see who exactly was here. Lavi was on my right, Marie in front of me and Kanda was on my left. I saw that his tattoo had gotten bigger.

"You're tattoo's big enough as it is." I had a few more bites to eat. I knew that what I had said was below the belt, but if it was the only way he'd listen, then I'd use it. "Besides, I'm alive, I'll heal, so it doesn't matter."

"Che."

"You know, you really need to take better care of yourself Hannah." Lavi admonished me with a wagging finger.

"Same goes for every exorcist in the order."

"You're way too level headed, perceptive and stubborn for your own good."

"And you're too nosy and mischievous for yours."

"I never knew you had this much wit."

"I usually just bite my tongue. But I've had enough of you people and biting my tongue hurts. There's only so much a girl can take before she snaps back."

"Ooo, don't get you mad."

"You ought to know that making a redhead mad may be the last thing a person does." Lavi burst out laughing, Marie was laughing too.

"I never knew you were like this!" Lavi wiped the tears from his eyes.

"That's because you're usually to annoying, baka usagi."

"Wait, you've shown this side to Kanda?" Lavi looked hurt, Kanda smirked and I finished my food.

"Of course. He's not annoying, he's easy to hold a conversation with and he's my best friend."

"Kanda, hold a conversation?" Lavi asked disbelievingly.

"Sometimes. The silence is also comfortable." I laid back down in my pillows. "Now shut up, I've said enough for the week."

For the next week we were held in the infirmary, all the exorcists. My bones had healed, again, well, my ribs had healed, my leg and arm were almost completely healed. Allen had woke up, also almost completely healed like me.

Everyone was restless.

The Generals had left the infirmary and we were wanting to walk around too. Being stuck in one place just drives you mad. There's only so much you can take of Lavi. He kept trying to get me into a wit contest with him, instead I broke the crutch next to my bed on his head.

The head nurse was not happy.

I don't think anyone was happy. Lavi was driving me insane and if not me then Kanda. Then Allen woke up and he and Kanda started fighting. It so happened that one of the fights had them agree to spar each other and the loser would have to shave his head.

Guys… go figure…

Three more days of cussing and annoying and fighting and everyone was finally healed!

By our standards.

Our standards weren't like the head nurses standards. She demanded we stay there, in the infirmary. I was sure she was making us suffer for getting injured. Which really wasn't fair! We'd been injured isn't that suffering enough?! Do you really need to stay in the same room as these guys for two weeks?! Hadn't the fact that I'd broken my leg, arm and ribs been punishment enough?! Would I have to loose my sanity too?!!!

"Che, baka moyashi, I'll beat you up and shave your head bald." Kanda and Allen were fighting again.

"My name is Allen!"

"That's it!" I got up and stormed to the door. "I don't care anymore! We're healed, let's go to the training grounds and you two just fight it out now! Or so help me I'll shave your heads and make you sleep in the same room for a month!" I opened the door and pointed outside.

The guys looked at me, then at each other, then around to make sure the head nurse was nowhere near, they got up and left the infirmary faster then you could say 'jiminy cricket'.

We got to the training grounds and Kanda and Allen grabbed training swords and just started to go at each other. I sat down next to Marie, Lavi sat next to me and Bookman next to him. Chaoji joined us a little latter and sat on Marie's other side.

Kanda was way better than Allen, you could see it in their stance. Not to mention, I fought against Kanda more than once, he wasn't going all-out against Allen.

I didn't know if he was just trying to be nice or if he was just too arrogant to go all-out on Allen. After all, he was Kanda, Kanda did have some arrogance.

I remember the first time we fought, he didn't take me seriously and I put him on his butt. He then went all- out and the fight went on for thirty minutes and then he won, by a little move too! That was when I decided that I'd beat the guy. Not matter what, I'd beat him.

Anyway, there was no way Allen would win, but he still went at Kanda with everything he had. Maybe that's why I liked the kid, he had guts, he didn't give up. This fight between them looked like a fight between a master and an apprentice. It was fun to watch.

It's always fun to watch a master.

His black hair flowing behind him like a flag, his swift, sure and smooth cuts, thrusts, parries and attacks. It was like a dance, like art. It was almost relaxing to watch him.

Almost.

Allen wasn't very smooth or graceful or anything like Kanda. He was raw. Where Kanda was smooth and elegant, worked on and polished, Allen was raw and hard, jutting out at different places. If someone were to work with him and mold him, he could become quite fine.

Allen finally fell on the ground, his sword broken.

"I can't move anymore." Allen panted and Kanda smirked.

"You're just a big talker, moyashi."

"Not bad, Kanda, I'm no match for you with a sword." Allen seemed to let the name calling pass.

"Of course you're not. Now come on, let me shave your head."

"Hey now, I didn't say I gave up yet!" Allen caught Kanda's arm with his knees and flung him on his back. They started fist fighting, swords forgotten.

"Oh wow, you don't see those two fighting often."

"Hey Johnny." Lavi said turning to Johnny who was in a wheel chair.

"Are you sure you should be up and about yet?" Marie asked kindly. I swear, Marie is one of the only people I know who can put kindness into his voice. I mean, you can hear it. Usually you see it in people's eyes, but with him, you can hear it.

"At first they were just going to practice sword fighting, but they're both really on edge."

"Isn't that a nice way to put it?" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes at Lavi. In the back ground you could hear Allen and Kanda yelling at each other:

"Bastard, you just pretended to be down!"

"Foul play is part of a good strategy."

"Die! You fake gentleman!"

"Well, my master's a faker."

"Next thing we knew, they'd been at it like this for an hour." Lavi's voice explained to the form of Johnny behind me. Even fighting like this, Allen was far rougher and Kanda elegant. It was so funny to see the difference in the styles.

"The looser has to shave his head." I explained, turning back to Johnny. "It's just a brawl now."

"The attack must've been really galling, especially for Allen, the way he blames himself for things." Marie was off in his own little world. Did we all do that? I knew there were times when I was in my own little world. Was that another human thing? To simply go into your world and think?

"So, what are you here for Johnny?"

"I came to get measurements for your uniforms. You, Hannah, Kanda and Allen."

"You came here for work?!" I asked helping him get to his knees from his wheelchair, he had a box in his hands.

"Teens are always growing." He explained. "Hey, Allen! Kanda!"

"You're a workaholic, you know."

"Hey! Quit it you two!" Marie yelled and Allen and Kanda came over.

"Measuring?" Allen managed to ask through a fat lip and swollen cheek.

"What a pain in the ass." Was what Kanda had to say, typical.

"You really over did it." Marie said, talking mainly to Kanda.

"You exorcists and workaholics." I suddenly felt like it was twenty degrees Celsius below zero. "Who said you could leave the infirmary?" I felt a pang of panic as I remembered that it was me. She was going to kill me! She would hide me alive! I was terrified, but at the same time, I couldn't let the others get punished for what I did.

"I did." I raised my hand and turned around.

"I did too." Kanda said, making me spin back around in shock.

"Me too." Lavi chirped in.

"I did too." Marie spoke so calmly compared to the panic I was sure was running through his heart.

"Yes, I did too." Allen raised his hand as well.

"Likewise." I couldn't believe they were doing this! The head nurse was ready to kill!

"No, really, it was just my fault!" I said quickly turning back to her. "I told them to leave and it's really all just my fault, don't punish them!"

"Che, baka gaki, like you could make me do anything against my will."

"I'm with him-" Lavi didn't get to finish his sentence though, because the head nurse had grabbed his ear and twisted it. She grabbed mine next, twisting.

"I'm sorry!" We were all begging on our knees, she didn't listen though. She just twisted all our ears and dragged us to Komui's office.
