Also, only 3 more reviews until we reach 90! You can do this :D I'm sorry if I'm rushing through this story. Gomen-nasai.
Previously:
"Road-"
"Shut up!" She growled and injected herself with valium. A drug that helps you fall asleep really fast. "Just...cover me." Her eyelids drooped and Tyki sighed.
"You love that boy too much." He shook his head.
We watched as Road breathed in and out, already in the other universe.
D. Gray-Man Universe (3rd person)
Road stood on a tree branch looking down. According to the akuma, Allen and Kanda are on a mission and they should be passing by here any minute.
"Level three, are you sure?" Road pouted and huffed in annoyance. The akuma said they would be here in the next five minutes, but it's already been six minutes.
"Yes, Road-sama. They should be here any second!" The akuma's voice sounded sightly annoyed.
"Go check!" Road ordered and the akuma gave a quiet sigh.
"Yes, Road-sama." Leaving it at that, the akuma left to see where Allen and Kanda were.
This of course was part of Road's plan. She couldn't let the Earl know where she was going and who she was seeing. It's fine if Jasdebi and Tyki know, but definitely not the akuma or the Earl. If the akuma found out, they would go straight to the Earl and tell him Road was contacting the enemy. Road poked my head out of the leaves and looked around. The akuma should be back by now. Road smiled evilly and jumped out of the tree. Perfect, that means Allen and Kanda killed him.
She stood by the tree and waited for the pair to come. She knew they were coming this way now. Suddenly she saw a white mop of hair appear to her left behind a tree.
"Allen!" Road shouted and ran towards the person.
"Road?" Allen was tackled to the ground from Road's hug.
"See! I knew Lenalee was lying! You're not dead." Road smiled widely and hugged Allen harder. Kanda regarded them and spoke up.
"We are dead. In the other world at least." Road lifted her head, confused.
"But you're right here, with me!" She shouted and Allen sighed, lifting her off of him.
"When you die in the real world, you come and live here for the rest of your life until you die. That's what Kanda and I figured out." Allen said and his face turned sad. Road started crying and shook her head.
"No! You can't be dead!"
"Stage one, denial." Kanda mumbled but Road still heard him.
"Shut up!" She yelled at him.
"Stage two, anger." Kanda continued. Road ignored him and faced Allen again.
"Allen, isn't there a way for you to come back? We can go ask Mana for help! Maybe if I can get the Earl to stop making so many akuma, Mana will listen and help us? We have to do something!" Road sobbed and held onto Allen's jacket.
"Stage three, bargaining." Kanda lifted his eyebrow, thoroughly amused that Road's stages of grief were actually following the real ones exactly. Allen shot Kanda a glare, that shifted into a caring gaze when back on Road.
"I'm sorry Road, it's just not possible." Allen shook his head. Road bit her lip and the tears started falling more and more. She let out a loud cry and hid her head into Allen's shoulder. She knew it wasn't possible, but she had to try. Try to get Allen back.
"Stage four, depression." Kanda stated and Allen's head whipped towards him.
"Do you mind?" Allen grumbled and nodded his head to Road who was still crying on his shoulder. Allen was telling him to shut up because he was being rude. It wasn't helping Road's predicament at all. Kanda held up his hands in mock surrender but didn't say that he was going to stop.
After a few minutes Road finally stopped crying and lifted her head. Her cheeks were streaked with tears and Allen wiped them off. Kanda looked away and leaned against a nearby tree. Kanda felt -dare he say it- jealous.
"So...you really are dead." She murmured and Allen nodded his head.
"Yeah, sorry. But at least we can still see each other here." He gave her a dazzling smile and she smiled back.
"Last stage, stage five. Acceptance." Kanda concluded and gave a small nod to himself. Who knew the people who made it could be so right. Road looked at him, trying to be mad, but she looked to be in a cross between sad, happy, and mad. All in all, it looked hilarious.
"Shut up, idiot." She bit back and turned her head away from him and Kanda smirked. That cheered her up a bit, right?
OOOOOOOOOO
Real world (3rd person)
Weeks had past without anything interesting happening. Lenalee entered the other universe every night and talked to Kanda and Allen about what happened during the day. They always met up no matter what, even if it was a completely uneventful day where the most interesting thing that happened was taking one more step to the washroom than normal.
Other than talking to Lenalee, Allen and Kanda also talk to the Noah. They talk about twice a week, whenever Lenalee has her night shift. That way Allen and Kanda could sneak off without having to bring a third person. Of course Lenalee knew about this, and agreed with them. It would be a pain trying to sneak out a third person instead of two.
OOOOOOOOOO
D. Gray-Man Universe (Allen POV)
I was sitting in the cafeteria with Kanda and Lavi, eating my third plate of macaroni and cheese. Lavi was going on talking about the hottest girl he's ever seen while he was outside looking for another scarf. Normally, Kanda and I would never be sitting in the same table or talking to each other, unless we were fighting. Of course this was just put on for show. We had to keep our characters up to make sure no one found out.
This time, Lavi dragged me to where Kanda was sitting and he gave both of us a harsh glare. Once again, for show. Kanda 'didn't want to move' and I came 'unwillingly' so we were stuck here, together.
"Then she walked over to me and all I could think of was 'STRIKE!'" He blabbered on, not even knowing that Kanda and I were only half listening. He stopped for a moment and smiled before saying he had to go to the washroom, before leaving. I stared at Kanda and he stared at me.
"Moyashi."
"Bakanda." We stared at each other harshly for a few minutes, causing the weak hearted to look away.
"The baka-usagi is slow. How long does it take him." Kanda's hidden meaning was Do you think he'll come to this world?
"I don't know, figure it out yourself." I grumbled at him. What I meant was I don't know, what do you think?
"Che." He shrugged. "Whatever. It's not my problem he still hasn't come. It's not like it's me who's missing dinner." I don't know either. He still hasn't logged on yet. There might still be a chance. Kanda picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating. Even if I did want to reply, I wouldn't have been able to, since Lavi came back.
"As I was saying before, that girl went-" I sighed and leaned on my hand. It was going to be a long time until I could talk to Kanda in private.
Real world (Lavi POV)
I sat in the pristine white hospital bed as I watched the television. I flipped through the channels aimlessly until I found an anime channel.
"Awesome! I always wanted to watch Sword Art Online!" I shouted and sat up straighter. Luckily it was the first episode. I watched as the large cloaked figure appeared and changed every ones character into their real selves.
"Hey! That Klein guy kinda looks like me." I noticed and raised my eyebrows. Cool, but weird. I heard the door open, but didn't look at it. It would have been useless anyways. My curtain was blocking the door and it was too far away to pull back.
"Lenalee? Is that you? Hurry up and come over here! It's SAO!" I informed the person but they didn't reply. I looked at the curtain in front of the door and turned the TV off.
"Lenalee?" Suddenly the curtain was pulled back and a red haired figure walked in. Something glinted in his hand and I looked down. A knife? No, it was a needle with a purple liquid inside.
"Who are you?" I asked and tried to move back, but I was already as far back as I could get on the bed.
He lifted his hand and pointed the needle at me, walking forwards.
"Wait. Sto-" Before I could even finish shouting, he placed his hand over my mouth and poked the needle into my skin. He pushed the plunger and I felt the cold liquid enter my body. I thrashed around and tried to hit him, but nothing would work. Slowly, bit by bit, I felt my body go numb and tired, before the darkness closed around me and my body went limp.
Lenalee (POV)
I walked down the hallway in my scrubs and tied my hair back into one long ponytail. I knocked on the door of Lavi's room and told him I was coming in.
"Hey, Lavi! How are you-" I froze and my mouth opened wide in shock. Lavi was lying on the bed in a heap that looked too awkward to possibly be comfortable. There was red foam coming out of his mouth and his eyes were rolled back into his head.
"Lavi!" I ran over to him and grabbed his face. "Lavi! Lavi, wake up!" I slapped his cheeks but nothing happened. No, I'm not going to lose someone I care about again. No, not again. My eyes burned but I held back my tears. I checked Lavi's pulse but didn't feel anything. No, it was probably just me. I have to wait longer. I waited for another twenty seconds before I felt my heart drop. I whipped my body towards the door and shouted.
"Someone help! Something's wrong with Lavi!" When I walked in, I yanked the curtains apart, so I could clearly see the door. When I looked there, I swear I saw someone with red hair peeking in. It was only a split second so I couldn't say. It wasn't important. I yelled for help one more time before looking at Lavi.
"You can't die." I whispered and put my forehead against his chest. "No." I shook my head and held his limp body tighter.
I could already feel the coldness creep into his body and his cheeks turn pale. I visited him everyday to at least say hi, and when I was working I would always come see him during my breaks. We enjoyed each others company and he would have someone to talk to. I heard footsteps running down the hall and I lifted my head up.
"I love you, Lavi." I smiled sadly and kissed his forehead.
What I didn't notice was the red haired man's quiet voice say something to himself while leaving the doorway.
"Now where's that damn brother of hers. Komui, was it?" His heavy footsteps were drowned out by the hurried footsteps of nurses and doctors.
