Chapter 6: Mission

Gin's POV

That stupid Pretty Boy! He didn't have to throw me into the wall that hard! And I only got a small cut on his back. And insulting Allen; in front of me too! An because of the fight (though short) I totally forgot about dinner! At least I can remember my way to the dining hall; I'm not completely lost like Allen would be.

I push open the double doors to the dining room roughly, seeing Allen ordering from a... well, there's no words to describe the chef really. I walk over towards them, ignoring the stares.

"Ah! A new exorcist! What will ya have, darling?~" I open my mouth to answer the jubilant man when- of course, who do I hear shouting?- from across the room. I growl unconsciously. BaKanda. "Oh dear. Seems like Kanda's at it again." The man sighs deeply and shakes his head. I look beside me to see Allen had already gone, no doubt to see what Kanda was yelling about.

I sigh deeply and quietly make my way through the people with tan cloaks. By the time I can make it up Kanda and no doubt Allen, They're already fighting. I can just feel the hate between them. Allen has Kanda's arm held, as if he was stopping Kanda from hitting something, most likely someone if it's Kanda.

"My name is Allen, BaKanda." I can just see the hate coming from them and sweat drop as I walk closer.

"Che, I'll remember that if you can survive a month here." Allen is about to say something when I pull both of them away from each other by their collars, earning a few colorful words from Kanda.

"Both of you shut the hell up! Damn it, can't I get some food in peace? Now, both of you go away, and stop annoying me!" Allen looks away from my angry gaze while Kanda glares back.

"And why should I, brat? You wasn't in this conversation, so butt out." I push Allen back into the crowd of people and let go of Kanda and he brushes off himself.

"You're just asking for it now, Pretty Boy." I hear a few snickers at the comment and my mouth twitches.

"We both know who would win in a fight, if you need remembering. The Order has no need for weaklings like you and Moyashi. Che, you're nearly as useless as Finders." I look around at the faces, seeing hatred burning in their eyes. All of them looking at Kanda. "Why don't you do yourself a favor and leave. Nobody wants you here anyways." My body froze at those words. I could feel my eyes widen as unwanted voices bombarded my conscience.

"Ugh, get that demon child away from us!"

"Why don't we just kill it? Nobody wants it anyways! We'll be doing the world a favor!"

"You went too far, Kanda," I heard Allen whisper dangerously. Kanda; of course Kanda just scoffed.

A loud pop silenced the dining hall of all activity. The Finders opening stare in wonder and shock at the newest exorcist. She was lowering her hand back down to her side slowly and turned away from the blue-haired exorcist, who had a quickly fading bright red hand print on his cheek.

"Bastard. Didn't you learn any manners in here?" she said venomously. Her hands were clinched into fist and her whole body shook with contained fury. Allen was smirking, clearly amused.

"Ah! There you three are! Come on, Nii-san wants-" Lenalee stops mid sentence, feeling the hatred and anger coming from the two exorcists. She swears there was electricity threatening to burn each other, but that was just her. Gin was slowly calming down while Kanda was the one trembling in anger now.

"You bitch! I'll kill you!" Gin smirked while the Finders glared at Kanda, hatred burning deeply in their eyes. It was easy to see who the stood up for now.

"Che, like you could!"

"Guys! Come on! You three are needed now." Lenalee looked at the three of them disapprovingly. Gin glared once again at Kanda as he stared in hate at her.

"Sure! Come on Gin, BaKanda." Allen smiled nicely at Gin and follows the relieved Lenalee out of the crowd of Finders.

"Shut it, Moyashi!" he snaps back. Allen turned around, his eye twitching. He opens his mouth to reply when Gin grabs his and Kanda's arm roughly, though she didn't grab Allens has hard, and drug them after Lenalee, who didn't know how to react.

"Thank you, Gin-"

"Don't call me Gin. It's just Zaki for you." Her voice was rough and still had a hint of hidden anger, but she didn't mean to sound rude. Hopefully, she thinks, she knows that.

"Then thank you, Zaki-san!" she said cheerfully. "Oh, have you worked with your Innocence at all?" Gin smiled lightly, though it didn't reach her eyes completely.

"I have. But can you explain to me what Innocence is? I never heard the speech Komui-san gave Allen last night." Lenalee slowed down a little.

"Innocence. Innocence is the weapon Exorcists use, in the simplest terms. There are two types of Innocence- parasitic, like yours and Allens, and equipment, like mine and Kanda's. Parasitic type means your Innocence is inside of your body. Allens' is his arm; that's why its like that. And I'm guessing yours' is in your neck, although there's no other sign that I can see that tells us that you have Innocence. Tell me, please. Do you have anything that's abnormal? Not to sound weird or anything!"

Gin thought for a second then sifted or gaze over to Allen, who nodded subtly to her. She slowly pulled her bangs away from her face, showing her eye patch.

"There is my eye." Gin lifts the patch slowly, revealing her eye; completely black, like when she activates her Innocence. Lenalee nods and smiles.

"It looks like your eye when you activate your Innocence," Lenalee says. Gin looks up at her, surprised.

"It does?" Lenalee nods again.

"Che, it's a demon eye anyways." Gin's eye twitches but she ignores Kanda, much to the surprise of Allen.

"So... do we get one of those fancy outfits that everybody else has?" Gin asks off handly.

"Uh yeah! You can chose which one you want, if you actually want to that is!" Gin smiled brightly and Allen groaned softly.

"Now she's gonna go crazy." Lenalee looks at him, confused. "Gin loves clothes, more so when she designs them," he explained while Gin was smiling crazily. "I wouldn't bother her while she's working, either." Lenalee nods and keeps walking.

"Ah! We're here! Just come on in, if you will!" Lenalee says happily as the walk into the Supervisor's office. Gin walks in only to bump into a blond headed man a about a foot taller than her.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Zaki." Gin looked up at the man with curiosity in her eyes.

"Who are you?" she asks bluntly and he sweat drops while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Um, I'm Reever. I've been walking with you this whole time." She tilted her head.

"You have?" Reever nods. "Oh, ok then." He just smiles awkwardly and walks up beside the supervisor, who is sleeping deeply at his desk.

"Supervisor, Supervisor Komui! Wake up!" he said while shaking him, and even hitting him, hard, on his head. Reever sighed and leaned close to his ear. "Lenalee has decided to get married," he whispered. Komui shot up with tears pouring out of his eyes.

"Renali! How can you get married without telling your own brother?" he cried.

Che, this guy reminds me of Xerxes, Gin thought with a smirk. She then looked around with her eyes wide. Where is my frère?

"Sorry about that; it's the only way to wake him up," Reever told the three exorcists.

"Errr, sorry about that. I didn't go to sleep until daybreak, so-" he cut off, laughing nervously.

"Neither did I," Reever mumbled under his breath.

"Alright," he said more serious this time. "We don't have much time, so after you hear the summary, move out. If you want more detailed info," he said while handing Kanda, Gin and Allen a black booklet, "just read this while you head to your destination."

Kanda and Allen move to the couch, as far away from the other as they can get, as Gin leans on it from the back.

"You three will go as a team," Komui says with a mischievous glint in his eye.

Gin's POV

I immediately saw Allen and Kanda turn to each other, scowling at the other with hatred sparking between them. I swear, if they didn't stop this, someone is gonna thing there's some twisted shit going on between the two of them.

"Err, what? You already aren't getting along?" I smirked inwardly.

"Of course they are, Komui-san. Actually," I said, smirking openly now and looking down at the two of them evilly, "I believe they already have this love/hate relationship going on." Both of their eyes widened in shock with a light pink tinge forming on their cheeks.

"Damn idiot! Like that would ever happen!" Kanda shouted, shaking from disgust, his hand already wrapped around Mugen. Komui cleared his throat; I saw him hiding a grin behind his hand.

"No excuses though." He pulled down a map of Italy and grew serious once again. "We've found Innocence in southern Italy, but it may get taken by an Akuma. You're job is to destroy the enemy and secure the Innocence."

"Zaki-san, you can come with me to pick out your uniform." I immediately brightened up. I can't help that clothes are so amazing. I mean, it's like changing who I am every time I change clothes! It's wonderful being someone else besides myself.

"Yay! Come on Lee-chan!" I grabbed her arm and rushed out of the room, dragging her along and ignoring the looks Kanda was giving me. I'm not crazy.

"Um, Zaki-san, can you let go off my wrist? Your grip is quite strong," she said, chuckling nervously as I quickly let go. I didn't mean to hold her wrist that hard. "Now, just follow me and I'll take you to the room where we keep all the uniforms." I nodded enthusiastically as she lead me down the halls.

"Soooo... How do ya feel about Allen, Lee-chan?" I asked sweetly, like it just now popped into my head and I hadn't been think about it since I saw his face when he first saw her. I smirked inwardly once again as I saw the slightest pink tinge on her cheek.

"H-He seems like he would be a good friend. Why?" I smile sweetly, innocently.

"Ah, nothing to worry about Lee-san! I have a habit of blurting things out!~" I told her nonchalantly. Of course, she didn't believe me; I could see it in her eyes. But I couldn't help it!

"We're here, Zaki-san. Just go in there and pick out anything. I'll be waiting out here." I felt my mouth twitch up and I tried to hide the smile coming. This one wasn't fake.

I walked inside of the room and closed the door behind me quickly, already looking around.

I'll keep my cloak, I thought. I mean, I got it for free, and it is really nice. The crimson red will go perfectly with the black too!

(x)(x)(x)

I stepped out of the room filled with black and silver clothes after just a few minutes. Lenalee turned around at grinned. I had tight black shorts that I actually got for the mobility they gave me; I would be fighting a lot after all.I had on a corset that stopped on the sides with intertwining ribbons in the back holding it together and silver buttons going down the front. It also had a cross which I assumed was the symbol or whatever for the Black Order.

I grinned, although Lenalee couldn't see it from the crimson cloak, My tattoo was nearly completely visible.

I had also found a silver over-sized belt like thing, which had hidden pockets on the inside of it. I had kept my ballet shoes, no matter how girly they looked; they were really comfortable. I had tied ribbons on them that ran up my legs to my thighs to keep them on, though. They were silver, too.

"That looks good. Now come on, we have to hurry." I nodded and follow Lenalee down the tower; so there is a way up to this hell hole besides climbing. Damn it.

"So where did you get that cloak, Zaki-san? It's not something that you usually see in the stores." I was started at the question, but smiled after a minute. I really wanna see that man again now.

Although, I narrowed my eyes unconsciously, I will rip those glasses from his face. I don't like not seeing his eyes.

"Um, Zaki-san...? Why are you making such strange faces?" I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lee-chan! I did get it from a store, actually." For some reason I didn't feel like letting everybody know about the guy. It sends chills trough my body just thinking about him.

"Ah, there you two are! Come on, come on!" I looked up to see a cheerful, maybe too much, Komui standing on a small wooden dock with a canoe floating in the water beside him.

"It's a bit big," I heard Allen say. I look over at him. He was messing with a black and silver coat.

"Well of course. You're pretty short for your age. And I doubt this Order is used to having people your size becoming an Exorcist." Now there's clearly a tick mark. I smirk and see Kanda do the same. "Aw, I'm sorry Allen! I'm just teasing!" He doesn't reply and I laugh quietly.

"Do I have to wear this," he asked, ignoring my comment.

"It's proof you're an Exorcist. Don't worry, it's made for battle. And I tuned your gloves a bit." Komui smiles proudly. I notice something move in Allen's sleeve. Suddenly, that flying golden ball from yesterday popped out.

"Timcampy! Where the heck where you all this time?" My eyes widened and I grabbed it.

"It's so cute~ I want one! Please, please, please, please, please?" I could feel whatever it was struggle in my grasp and I quickly let it go, mumbling "sorry" as if flew to lie on Allen's head. We moved onto the canoe and I noticed the Finder.

"Timcampy has the ability to project the past of someone he's been with," Komui called after Allen. "I got to see your adventures with him." He looked shocked for a second before Komui called out once again. "Later!" He smiled lightly and turned around.

"I'll be back!" he called out. He turned back around and sat down beside me while Kanda sat across from us, scowling. "Oh!" I looked over at him at the sudden interruption, curious. He was pulling on a chain around his neck.

"What?"

"I can't believe I forgot about this! Here, Gin! I've kept it ever since that day." He pulled the chain from around his neck. Hanging from it was a round silver pocket watch. My eyes widened as he placed it gently in my outstretched hand.

"I don't believe it..." Staring down at the watch, more memories slowly played like an old record player inside my head.

"Hey, Red! Come here for a second!"

"I did promise I'd keep it safe though." He smiled at me as I continue to stare at it in wonder, tracing the spiderweb looking design with my middle finger.

"Yeah... ya did, didn't ya?"

"What do you want? God, Raven, you really are a bother!"

"Oh, shove it, Red! I wanna give you something! Here, take it!"

"Why?"

"Because I said so, dip shit! Now come here! Take this!"

"I even kept it from rusting," he said with pride.

"Why are you giving this damn thing to me?"

" 'Don't know. Ahora, escucha!*"

"Why?"

"Open it up! Isn't the tune lovely?"

I open it gingerly and the listen as the tune plays.* Everything is silent as it continues.

Such a lovely melody, I think.

Kanda's POV

Such a sad melody, I think.

PLEASE READ! Look up Pandora Hearts- pocket watch melody. That's what it sounds like. And I have drawn a picture of Gin in her Exorcist uniform. Just got to my profile and look under Stories I'm Currently Writing. I have the link to the drawing if ya wanna see! But, it's not colored. I HAVE EDITED HER SINCE THEN! I've redrawn her and will have it up-colored- as soon as possible!

Ahora, escucha!- Now listen! in Spanish

I hope you enjoyed! Again, it was kinda a lazy chapter :P
