Raychaell: *moody * I hate my laptop. *glares at said laptop *

Allen: What happened to Raych?

Roxy: Her family laptop broke down, and since it was the only one with Microsoft Office, she couldn't write anything at all.

Allen: Oh. But it still doesn't explain her moodiness.

Roxy: *shrugs * She has a school project that requires Microsoft Office, but now she's risking a fail grade thanks to her laptop breaking down.

Raychaell: *brightens up* Then again, Dad said he'll get me a new one this weekend. YES! And I finally got it~! Thanks so much Dad!

Roxy: And the old loony is back…

Raychaell: Whatever. I do not own D. Gray Man, only Roxy, Talon and the plot! And Roxy, Allen, guess what?

Roxy and Allen: What?

Raychaell: Our favorite samurai is appearing in this chapter~!

Lupa019 – I've already got the twin brother story planned out, but yea, the scythe belongs to Roxas. And I love your ideas for the omake! I'll do it the next time I do an omake chapter, which may be chapter 8? No promises on the chapter.

[A/N: EDITED 24/5/2013]

Roxy was fast asleep when she heard the thunder outside her door. She ignored it and rolled over in bed, covering her ears with her pillow even as she hoped the thunder would go away. It did not. Instead it continued in intensity till she gave way to a loud groan and staggered out of bed half asleep, opening the door to reveal Allen who had been banging away and nearly hit her face. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand Allen Walker." Roxy growled, glaring at him the best she could even as the muzzle of her gun kissed Allen's forehead. Allen did not react; he was much too used to Roxy's temper when it came to rude awakenings. Instead, he had a bright grin on his face while a moody Link stood behind him.

"Roxy you have a new mission!" Allen exclaimed, beaming away as he looked at Roxy, who merely blinked and retorted, "Whatever," before slamming the door in his face again.

Allen didn't mind. Instead, he just started counting, and when he reached three, the door opened again, and Roxy was in his face, her expression no longer sleepy but full of excitement as she said eagerly, "Did you just say, mission?" Allen nodded enthusically at this, causing Roxy to give way to a whoop of excitement and close the door, rushing back into her room as she called back over her shoulder.

"Tell Komui I'll be in his office in 10 minutes!" True to her word, a fresh looking Roxy was immediately in Komui's messy office dressed in her uniform while a sleepy Talon dozed away on her right shoulder. Komui, for once, was fully awake and ready for her.

"Good morning Roxy. Sorry to wake up in the middle of the night but I thought you would have wanted to receive your mission as soon as possible." Komui apologized, but Roxy waved it off with an amicable grin.

"On account that it was a mission you called me for and you sent Allen to tell me the news, I forgive you. In fact, if it was someone else you sent to wake me, I would have shot them first and asked questions later." Komui sweat dropped at this. He had seen first-hand the brutal damage done to Lavi and Timothy for pranking Roxy, and was rather unnerved by the casual way Roxy had acted about it.

"Anyway, we just need to wait for Lavi and Bookman to come in then I can start the mission briefing. Hope you wouldn't mind waiting Roxy." Komui said, making Roxy sigh in impatience but grudgingly wait. Lavi and Bookman did not take too long. Instead, she had barely made herself comfortable on the couch when Lavi walked in a few steps behind Bookman, rubbing his head as if he had gotten a kick again. Lavi was quick to spot Roxy relaxing on the couch and he sat close to her, giving her a grin even as she glared at him for invading her personal space.

"So Chief, what exactly did you call us for this early in the morning for?" Lavi asked casually, ignoring the disapproving glare from Bookman. Komui started to speak, only to be interrupted by Roxy's growl.

"Baka Usagi, get your filthy arm right off my shoulder right this very instant before I shoot you in the head," Roxy growled as she aimed her revolver at his head. What had happened was actually Lavi had put his arm around Roxy, who noticed it immediately and got mad, therefore the threat.

Lavi merely grinned in response, trying to joke with her. "But Roxy, my arm feels soooo comfortable on your shoulder," he whined, but Roxy returned him a deadpanned look before returning her revolver to its holster and punching him in the side of the head with her free hand.

Clearing his throat, Komui was quick to bring their attention back to him. "As I was trying to saying before Roxy interrupted me, you three have a new mission. You'll be going to the town of Loren. (A/N: All town names are made up names so don't bother me with nonsense about not able to find this or that!) There have been akuma sightings there, and we suspect Innocence too since there have been rumors of mysterious disappearances and claims of sightings of a large beast."

Bookman was the first to speak. "So we're going to Loren with Miss Wilder here? Didn't Central forbid her from missions due to the fact that she's the carrier of the Heart?" At this, Komui grinned and replied.

"I made a compromise with them. I said that as long as Roxy doesn't use her scythe unless it's a matter of life and death, she can still go out on missions and defend herself with her guns. Is that all right with you Roxy?" This question was obviously directed to Roxy, who rolled her eyes before nodding her compliance.

Pleased, Komui continued. "So Central agreed with my compromise but said that Roxy can't go on solo missions. Instead, should she go on a mission, she's required to be accompanied by at least one Exorcist."

This brought a scowl to Roxy who muttered clearly, "I don't need a goddamn nanny." This earned her a frown from Komui but he was quick to get back to the topic.

"Anyway, all three of you shall be leaving as soon as possible. You'll be going through the Ark since we have a gate in the country the town is in, but you'll be taking a three day's journey by train from there and meet a Finder stationed there. If there are no further questions, go pack your bags and head for the Ark gate room." With that, Komui dismissed the trio. Roxy headed back to her room immediately, grabbing her backpack from under her bed and piling her belongings in it while a half asleep Talon watched her sleepily from his accustomed perch on her shoulder. Disassembling Talon's perch with practiced ease, Roxy scanned the room one last time to ensure all her belongings were all packed before heading for the Ark gate room. Komui, Bookman and Lavi were there and, once they were given their mission folders, entered the Ark.

Roxy stepped into the Ark with an expression akin to awe on her face. Allen had described the Ark to her in his letters, but the written word was no substitute for the actual sight itself. A few steps behind her, Lavi grinned at her awe as she spun around trying to take in the sight of the town within the Ark while walking forwards. "Our Moyashi is amazing, isn't he?" Lavi asked an exuberant grin on his face as he watched Roxy try to take in the sights. Upon hearing this, Roxy leveled a glare at him and retorted.

"You know perfectly well Allen hates that nickname so why do you insist on calling him that all the time?" Roxy said with a frown, before turning her attention back to the interior of the Ark. She had barely taken a few steps forwards before a door nearly slammed into her face, making her stop in her tracks in surprise. From behind the door, a dark haired teenager with a scowl on his face and long hair tied back into a ponytail stalked forwards, dragging a Finder behind him even as he glared at the surprised Roxy and Talon.

"Get out of my way, idiots." The teen growled, his free hand reaching for a sword strapped to his side. Roxy's eyes narrowed at this. Dark long hair, ponytail, sword and scowl. Don't tell me, this is… Roxy didn't manage to finish her thought, not that she needed to since Lavi, who had been behind her, exclaimed in an overly bright voice, "YU-CHAN~! You're back~!"

The Japanese teen scowled even deeper, unsheathing his sword and aimed the blade at Lavi's throat. "Baka Usagi, don't call me Yu. The name's Kanda, got it? And who's the brat and her pet birdy?" Kanda added, frowning at Roxy and Talon who both bristled at the insults.

"So you're BaKanda. My little god brother has told me so much about you, including the fact that you're a jerk and an idiot to boot." Roxy said darkly, adopting a pose that she had seen the Head Nurse use when she saw the injuries Timothy and Lavi had tried unsuccessfully to hide when Roxy had taken out her anger on them. Needless to say, that pose alone had been enough to incur fear among the two pranksters and Roxy had eagerly practiced it and wanted to use it when the opportunity came.

"Who's your little god brother, brat?" Kanda sneered, seemingly unaffected by her menacing stance while Lavi paled behind her and tried to hide from the incoming storm.

"My little god brother is Allen Walker, but apparently you call him Moyashi, which I've been told makes Allen mad and so he calls you BaKanda, all the time." Roxy returned, watching in satisfaction as Kanda's expression turn surprised at the thought that Allen had a god sister, before coming up with another insult.

"I'm sorry if you don't remember Allen, but apparently you have a bad memory, she – male. Why, even Allen has commented how slow your memory is when it comes to remembering your own name." This angered Kanda, and he was quick to retort.

"My memory isn't slow, Blondie. And it's the Moyashi who doesn't remember his own name, so don't call me an idiot when you are clearly one yourself, little brat." With that, Kanda and Roxy glared at each other, electricity in their glares as both their hands twitched towards their weapons in preparation to fight.

"That's enough both of you." Bookman's firm voice cut through the concentration of both opponents, making both stop glaring at each other.

"Hello Kanda, you're back." Bookman greeted politely while Roxy tried her best to calm the angered Talon who glared at Kanda.

Kanda ignored them before turning back to Roxy and ask brusquely, "What's your name?"

"Her name is Roxanne Wilder. But call her Roxy or else she'll punch you Yu – chan~!" Lavi piped up before Roxy could speak. The use of his surname caused Kanda's eye to twitch but otherwise ignore Lavi before he turned towards the direction of the door that would lead him to Headquarters, making sure to bump roughly into Roxy as he did so. Roxy stumbled a little in surprise and glared at Kanda's retreating back. When Kanda was out of sight, she gave way to a wicked smile and yelled, "Bye YU – CHAN!" Roxy smirked as she heard a distant roar of rage before walking forwards again. Lavi and Bookman were quick to catch up to her as she took out her mission folder and started to read while Talon napped on her shoulder.

Bookman eventually took the lead and led them to a door simply labeled as France. Roxy's eyes lit at this, and she perked up. Lavi noticed before questioning her, "I take it you've been to France before?" Roxy nodded happily.

"Oui monsieur, J'ai été en France avant." Yes, mister, I've been to France before, Roxy said in flawless French. Lavi grinned at this, before replying in the same language. "Alors comment pouvez-vous bien parler?" Then how well can you speak it? At this, Roxy rubbed her head sheepishly before replying in English, "I'm afraid I can't exactly speak fluent French since I have very little lessons on it. All I know is how to ask for directions and also some basic French. If you ask me to hold a conversation in French, I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed."

Lavi chuckled before opening the door with a grand flourish and allowing Roxy and Bookman to step through. Once again Roxy marveled at the change in surroundings as she stepped through the bright town to see the dark interior of a church. A dark haired Finder stood a few meters away from the gate, and upon seeing Roxy and her companions, greeted them. "Good evening, Exorcists. My name is Amos, and I am to be your guide for this mission. Now if you would come this way please, we'll head for the train station." With that, Amos led the way out of the church, the trio dutifully following until they stepped out of the large doors. Roxy gasped as she was greeted with a face full of cold air. She started shivering and dashed back in to the warm church. Lavi was quick to join her as they both started shivering away. Amos joined them with Bookman by his side, both men showing similar expressions of amusement at the teens.

"I'm sorry Exorcists – sama. I forgot that you weren't suited up for winter travel." Amos apologized even as he handed the trio winter cloaks. Lavi and Bookman both slipped on the brown cloaks they were given, but Roxy frowned as she realized that there wasn't one for her.

"Where's mine?" Roxy asked Amos in curiosity while an unhappy Talon hid in her jacket to escape from the cold. Amos bowed at this, and handed over a bundle of black cloth to Roxy. She shook it out, only to pale in shock as she realized that it was a black winter cloak.

"Why is my cloak black?" Roxy asked in a strained tone even as Lavi tried his best not to laugh at her horrified expression.

"Ah, Mr Walker said that you would prefer black for your cloak since you like the color black so much. He also handed me a note that was for you to read." Amos explained even as he handed over a folded slip of paper. Roxy opened it and read it out loud. It read:

'Roxy,

Hope you like the cloak I asked the Order to get you since you're Lady Ghost herself! HAHA! You've gotten pranked!

Allen'

Roxy felt her eyebrow twitch as the men all fought back laughter at her stunned expression. She crushed the note in her hand, before letting out a bloodcurdling shriek of rage and tearing the note to bits. Without another word, she put on the cloak and stormed out of the church while the guys tried to match her furious pace. Amos was quick to lead them to a train station, only to find out that their train had left a few minutes ago. This piece of news didn't seem to disappoint Lavi. Instead he grinned brightly while Bookman looked resigned. When Roxy asked, Lavi replied, his trademark grin in place, "We're going train jumping." Roxy grinned at this, since Allen had told her about train jumping in his letters, and he had even boasted that now he was so good at it that he could do it with his eyes closed. This had created a large curiosity in Roxy for she had never heard of train jumping before.

Now, it seemed she would to experience it herself. Amos led them all to a bridge overlooking the train tracks while Lavi explained the concept of train jumping to a curious Roxy. "Basically, train jumping is all about leaping onto a moving train from above. You do it from above, as in a bridge like the one we're on. From the bridge, you stand on the edge before you leap off at the sight of the carriage and land on your feet. From there, you just basically enter the train from the skylight." Lavi explained even as everyone stood on the bridge, ready to jump. Roxy felt nervous and excited at the same time. It was her first time doing something like this, but she felt the adrenaline rush even as she watched Lavi jump first when their carriage passed underneath. Without further ado, she jumped.

As always, she felt a giddy rush whenever she did something extreme. She felt herself fall, then when the carriage roof loomed into view, her instincts took over. She automatically bended her knees and was quick to roll forward before springing up once more as her feet hit the roof. Lavi was already waiting for her by the skylight, and Bookman and Amos were quick to join them too as they both landed on the carriage. "So how was your trip down, Madame?" Lavi asked with a fake French accent. Roxy merely chuckled and replied, huge giddy grin lighting up her face even as she spoke. "That was GREAT!" Roxy enthused happily while Lavi laughed away. They were quick to get into the carriage and out of the cold, where she once again appreciated the perks of returning to the Black Order. After all, she had never known that being a member of the Black Order meant a free and luxurious train ride!

Now that they were settled down, Roxy stared out of the window from the seat she now occupied. Beside her, the men were engaged in quiet conversation as they discussed the journey ahead. Staring at the scenery whizzing by soon made her drowsy and the excitement of the night soon faded away to bone deep weariness. She couldn't help but give way to a yawn, and this caught the attention of the rest. "Miss Wilder, feel free to rest. We will wake you once we have reached our destination," Bookman said, making Roxy smile a little.

"All right then. Night guys," and with that said, Roxy fell asleep, exhaustion soon pulling her deep into sleep.

She was dreaming. She knew she was because she saw him lying on the snowy ground, his blood pooling into a large pool beneath him. She could never forget that day; since that day was the day he left her and died. At first she was an observer to the tragic scene in front of her, and then in an eye blink it was her crying those same words from when she was seven, crying for him to stay with her and, "Don't leave me alone!"

"Roxy, wake up. It's just a nightmare!" Someone shouted in her ear. Who is it? Roxy thought tiredly, and then her mind supplied an answer. It was Lavi. With that realization, Roxy awoke with a jolt and realized that the guys were now staring at her with an expression akin to concern.

"You all right Roxy? You gave us a scare just now when you suddenly started crying in your sleep and cried 'Don't leave me alone!' Was it a nightmare?" Lavi asked worriedly, his eye filled with concern. Roxy blinked in surprise at this; she had not realized that she had cried in her sleep, and judging by her blurry sight, Lavi must have been telling the truth.

"I'm fine everyone. Just a bad dream that's all." Roxy replied with false cheer before snuggling further into her cloak in which Talon slept. She ignored their concerned looks, and tried her best to go back to sleep, and hopefully not dream about that day again.

Raychaell: And it's done! Sorry about the long wait guys, but I had a tough time writing the ending out! And did anyone else love the confrontation between Roxy and Kanda as much as I do?

Roxy: *mad* I can't believe you took so long to write this chapter out!

Raychaell: I told you; the ending was rather hard to write out!

Allen: *Black Allen mode* Hey Roxy, great nickname for BaKanda there!

Roxy: *smiles darkly* Thank you. That idiot deserved it! Stupid she male should cut off his hair, since his hair can earn us enough money to pay off my old man's debts!

Allen: True! Why not we cut it off together when you return from the mission?

Roxy: You're on! *exchange dark grins with Allen*

Raychaell: *shudders* I'm not going to help you if he catches you in the act! Anyway, review please!
