Chapter 2: The Explanation
(A/N: HOLY SHIT! I had one story up before and it took forever to actually get a review, fave, and follow and this only took one day... YOU GUYS ROCK!)
Disclaimer: I would be in heaven if I owned D. Gray-man I'd also be rich but sadly I don't own it.
"Wait I'm confused..." Lavi said.
"Of coarse you are Baka Usagi. It's easy... The beansprout has a bratty little sister." Kanda said with a calmed and annoyed face and tone.
"What did you call me~?" both Allen and Alexis said in unison looking like they were ready to murder Kanda if t came to that.
"MY NAME IS ALLEN, BAKANDA!"
"AND I'M NOT A FUCKING BRAT!"
This comment alone startled Allen back into reality. He thought she knew better than to cuss.
"Hey, I know it's been years but don't you remember what Mana would always tell us?" Allen asked his younger sister with a slight bit of disappointment in his voice.
"Sorry Allen. Sometimes I get a little angry and can't control it, but I'm not a brat." Alexis said directing that last part at Kanda.
"No that's not what I'm confused about, well more like curious. Is it just me or do your names sound a lot alike? Alexis, why didn't you tell us your name before when we asked? And finally what was it your dad always told you?" Lavi asked.
"Yes our names are alike but it was a little on purpose and a little on accident. You see before we were named my brother had been working in the circus. I would have been working too but, like the protective brother he is, he would keep telling me that I was too young even though I was only two years younger than him. But one day they had a meal set out since everyone did so well on the days performance. My brother had grabbed a bunch of food and ran to where I would sit and wait for him. I guess Mana was surprised with how much food my brother had so he followed and soon found where we were. He was shocked to see a seven year old boy was taking care of his five year old sister by himself.
"For a while in the circus everyone had gotten used to my brother and started to like him, so every once in a while they would have debates on his name but he didn't like any of them. But when Mana found us he was surprised to see this beloved little boy had a little sister all along. I guess he was reminded of his past dog, Allen, when he saw this because he told us that my brother was like Allen, kind and loving to all those around him yet still a little secretive. And my brother realized he actually like that name. But Mana knew nothing about me, so he just asked me what I thought I would like to be called and I told him 'Alexis' because I had heard that name a few days before and loved it. Right after that he introduced us to the rest of the circus and everyone loved us and our names." Alexis said with a small smile.
"But I guess I didn't tell you my name because, well, I never really trusted anyone. I only ever trusted Allen and Mana, that's it." Alexis answered with an apologetic smile.
"And Mana would always tell us 'If you cuss too much then people start to think of you as an idiot'." Allen finished.
"That's amazing." Lavi said like a child while Kanda just made a 'che'.
Alexis started to laugh a little while Allen started to blush a tiny bit.
"Why are you laughing?" Allen asked curiously.
"I like his child-like behavior. It's funny is all." Alexis answered.
Allen laughed a little and went to pate her head while messing up her hair.
Then Allen threw a quick glare at Lavi that said 'Don't you dare try anything on her'. This caused Lavi to be scared a little but then he showed a face that said 'Okay I get it... Don't murder me'. This got Allen to show his poker face- the cute 'innocent' one -which scared Lavi even more, causing him to think 'Aw crap! He IS going to kill me!'. So Lavi decided to use Kanda as a human shield. Now the red head really did have someone that wanted to kill him. No it wasn't Allen anymore... It was the annoyed Kanda Yuu who, instinctively, already had his hand on Mugen. Lavi saw this and almost immediately fled to behind Allen where he knew he would be safe.
"So as great full as I am that you found my little sis... Why did you bring her here?" Allen asked serious while looking at Alexis 'More like how did they find her... Alexis has been missing for five years and no body was ever able to find her even when they tried... She wouldn't LET people find her she didn't even let me find her and I'm the only one left alive that she trusts... What happened here?'
"She has innocence in her left arm." Kanda replied with an angry and annoyed tone- he's angry he didn't get to cut something up not even on the mission Alexis had gotten them all and the ones she didn't get Lavi had gotten.
"How did you figure that out?" Allen asked curiously.
"They practically attacked me when I told them to leave me alone." Alexis said before either of the boys could answer while sounding like a little kid tattling on them for stealing her toy.
At this point Lavi had jumped out from behind Allen.
"We didn't attack you!" Lavi said frustratedly having had this fight on the train at least ten times.
"Well you didn't but that she-male did. Are you even a guy?" Alexis asked talking to Lavi during the first part and Kanda during the second part.
"Dammit beansprout, control your damn sister!" Kanda yelled. "And yes I am a guy!"
At this point Lavi was on the ground laughing like an idiot and Allen was trying his hardest not to laugh as he noticed that Kanda really did look like a girl while Alexis was hiding behind Allen looking at Kanda with a serious and angry face.
"Tch. Screw you all!" Kanda yelled as he turned back into the Order.
"We should get inside it's getting cold out here. Don't want anyone catching a cold." Allen said still trying to fight off the laughter he had gotten from the fact that Kanda was just beaten by his 14 year old sister.
"So, Lavi, how did you find out Alexis had innocence? And how did you find her?" Allen asked now serious.
"Well Yuu-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP BAKA USAGI! AND QUIT CALLING ME THAT!" Kanda screamed from somewhere in the order- his voice echoed through most of the halls telling you that he was far away.
"How the hell did he hear the?" Alexis asked.
Allen just looked at his sister with surprise and shrugged. He had no idea.
"Well as I was saying... Yuu was trying to get her to stop running when she, all of a sudden, brought out a gun aiming it at his face, but then a second later she threw it into her left hand and shot six bullets in less than a second destroying nearly all of the akuma in the area. I checked the gun and it was just a plain pistol, expensive but normal- normal being no innocence but highly decorated with it being black with a pure gold carving of a rose on the side. Then I remembered seeing her throw the gun over to her left hand so I told Yuu to check her left arm and it was pitch black like yours Allen." Lavi said in a serious tone acting like the bookman that he was- come on when else is he serious other than acting like a bookman or when his friends are in danger.
"Wait Allen, your arm is black now? I thought it was red." Alexis asked a little concerned.
"Hehe well it was but... I got into a bit of an accident... and um..." Allen had mumbled the last part so quietly that even if you put a microphone in front of his mouth when he said it you still wouldn't hear it.
"What?" Alexis asked.
Lavi just walked away. He didn't need to see what happened when she found out Allen lost his arm so he wen to his room, three floors above where the siblings were.
"YOU LOST YOUR ARM~!?"
Lavi had a chill fall down his spine as he heard it perfectly clearly like she was right there next to him.
"Man that girl can scream." Lavi said to himself.
Then, for some reason, Lavi decided to go outside- like everyone else – and stare at the big commotion coming from the siblings through the hole in the ground that went through the middle of all the floors- it was a koumlin accident that nobody fixed but just cleaned and added railing. Right in the center of the circle you could see Allen with a shocked face as Alexis was leaning onto him and crying while pounding on his chest.
With every hit she made she would call him an idiot and the hits would get weaker and weaker. Eventually she fell to the ground on her knees taking her elder brother with her.
Allen had told her the whole story about how he lost his arm and got it back.
Alexis was terrified by the fact that her brother had lost his arm and got a hole put in his heart but was relieved when she found out how he got it back and how his innocence had healed the hole in his heart keeping him alive. But she couldn't help but think about what would have happened had his innocence not helped him.
"You idiot... What if you weren't lucky enough to get your arm back... What if... What if... What if you died... What if your innocence didn't fix the hole in your heart... You would be dead and I would be alone... You're so stupid Allen... What were you thinking picking a fight with a Noah when you knew you couldn't fight because your arm had broken... You're such an idiot." Alexis said through her tears.
"I know and that's the reason why I tried so hard to live. You and all of my friends were my reason for trying to survive. All that happened is now in the past and there's no changing it. Then there's also the fact that I got stronger so there's less of a chance of me losing. You don't have to worry-"
"But I do have to worry! Your stupidity gets the better of you half the time and you just go running into a fight head on without thinking!" Alexis yelled still crying but angry at the same time.
"I'm sorry. I really am sorry for worrying you. I promise I won't do it again. I promise I'll think before I act from now on. I promise." Allen said in a reassuring voice while pulling her into a deeper hug to calm her down.
(A/N: Okay I know the crying might be getting annoying but don't go yelling at me because after this it will be pretty rare of Alexis to cry. Keep reading, reviewing, favoriting, and following and I'll try my best to update often.)
