I do not own D Gray Man, Hoshino does. I only own Arisa Lane and most of the plot line. This takes place four years before Allen come to the Order, and will continue into the main story line of DGM. Please enjoy!
Chapter 2- The Black Order- Arisa's P.O.V.
"Hello?" I called out. "Is anyone here? I need to talk to someone about getting a job here!"
No one answered.
"A finder named Pedro said that I can find the Black Order here!"
Still, there was no answer.
I groaned. I closed my eyes, and breather deeply. I wasn't about to allow myself to get angry.
"Stand by for examination," A deep voice said.
I opened my eyes to a blinding, white light.
"Innocence detected," The voice said. "Allow entrance?"
The light faded, and I saw that the stone face was looking at me with giant, yellow eyes. I was surprised, and freaked out from the fact that the stone was… alive.
A gate I hadn't noticed before opened, and the stone face said, "Enter, exorcist." I took a moment to regain my composure, and then walked through the gate.
The inside of the building was warm, unlike the bitter cold air outside. I saw many guards standing off to the side.
"Its good to know that we have another exorcist on the team." A man with spiky brown- blond hair said. He held out his hand. "My name's Rever."
I shook his hand. "I'm Arisa Lane."
"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Lane," Rever said.
"It's nice to meet you to," I said. "So, is there some special way I need to sign up for a job here?"
Rever smiled. "I'll show you." He started walking down the long hall. I met his pace, and we walked side by side.
"So, how old are you?" Rever asked.
"I'm thirteen years old," I replied.
"There's a few kids around your age here," Rever said.
"Really?" I asked. "I can't wait to meet them."
Rever laughed. "They're interesting kids, I'll tell you that right now. Most of the other exorcists are on missions right now, but you'll meet them eventually."
"Were are we going?" I asked, looking at the many hallways we passed.
"We're going to the supervisor's office," Rever explained. "He's the one who will tell you all you need to know about being an exorcist. I'll warn you right now, though, that he's the strangest person here."
Right as Rever said that, we passed a group of men who were wearing lab coats. They were all carrying a giant tube of some-sort. The last person- or should I say creature- to pass was a blue thing with the numbers 65 on it's head. I looked at Rever, who just smiled.
"I didn't say that he was the strangest looking person here," He said.
The thought of someone being weirder than the alien thing worried me, but I pushed the thought out of my mind.
We stopped at a door, and Rever knocked on the door. "She's here," He said.
There was a muffled reply, and Rever opened the door. "Welcome to the Black Order," He said.
I smiled and entered the room. The floor was littered with papers, and a purple couch was placed in the middle of the room, facing a desk (at least I thought it was a desk, but I wasn't sure with all the piles of books and papers on it.)
A man with black hair, dark eyes, and glasses looked up from whatever he was doing. He stood up and smiled.
"Good to meet you!" He exclaimed. "My name is Komui Lee. I am the supervisor of the Black Order." He grabbed my hand, and shook it so hard, I was afraid that he was going to rip my arm out f its socket.
"Hi," I said. "I'm Arisa Lane."
"So, what do you know about being an exorcist?" Komui asked. He leaned against his desk, and looked at me.
"Not much," I said.
"What do you know?" Komui asked. He started digging through a pile of papers, and grabbed a clipboard. He motioned for me to follow him as he walked out of the room.
"I only know the word exorcist," I said. "I don't know anything about what it means, though."
"That isn't very much," Komui muttered. "How did you find us then?"
"An akuma attacked me," I said. "My innocence seemed to activate on its own, and I killed it. A man in a white outfit called Pedro told me that I was an exorcist and that I would find mote people like me at the Black Order. He gave me this," I brought out the little pamphlet and handed it to the supervisor.
The story I told wasn't exactly true, though. I had killed and akuma without understanding what was going on, and I had met a man named Pedro. But he wasn't the one who told me about being an exorcist. It was a man named Cross.
A an who had long, red hair, wearing a strange hat with a giant, golden, winged creature on it, and a strange black and gold uniform had told me that I was an exorcist. He explained that I was needed at the Black Order, and that I was supposed to fight demons called akuma.
He said that he didn't want to deal with an apprentice, and he told me that I should find a person clothed in white, carrying a giant, metal phone on their back. He also instructed me not to tell anyone about him, and I reluctantly agreed.
This was another secret I needed t keep, which meant it was another secret that I hated. It seemed to me that recently everything needed to be kept a secret.
"I'm surprised that your innocence is already a weapon," Komui said. "How did you come into contact with it?"
"I had been walking through a town a few moths ago," I explained. "And I saw my black and red choker necklace in a store window. I felt like it w calling for me, and I went in to buy it. However, when I got in there, I saw an akuma killing the storekeeper. The akuma turned on me, and attacked me. I rolled out of the way, and the akuma hit the window display. The necklace fell, and landed in my hand. It activated the innocence, and I killed the akuma."
"Interesting," Komui muttered.
We walked onto a wired, upside- down pyramid shaped platform, and stopped.
Komui grabbed a switch, and the platform started to descend. I made a squeaking noise, surprised by the sudden movement. I grasped the railing next to me, and held onto it for dear life. I hated the sensation of falling, even if there was a platform beneath my feet.
I gasped as we entered a pitch- black room. The air turned from a comforting warm to a freezing cold in a matter of seconds, and I wrapped my coat around me.
A bright light flooded part of the room, shining on people who were wearing decorated robes, and sitting in fancy chairs.
"These are the Great Generals," Komui said. "They are the people that we take all our orders from."
"H-hi," I stuttered. I didn't know what else to say. I was frightened from the moving platform, and meeting the bosses freaked e out even more.
Something wrapped around my waist, and I was lifted off the ground. I screamed and I looked at a glowing blue, dragon like creature.
"What do you say, Hevlaska?" Komui asked. "Does the girl have what it takes to be an exorcist?"
"The creature- Hevlaska- put a tentacle to my forehead. "She does," it said. " Her syncro rate is 95%. Arisa Lane, you shall help the cursed one find their heart. You and the cursed one shall look for the Heart, or else the world will fall."
What the creature was telling me confused e, but it also scared me. I didn't understand anything that was going on. I wanted to scream, to laugh, and to cry, but I didn't know which one to do first.
Komui started to clap. "That sounds delightfully scary!" He exclaimed.
The creature placed me on the ground, and I spun around, punching Komui in the jaw.
"Is there anything else you'd like to tell me!" I yelled. "For instance: what a syncro- rate it!"
"Clam down," Komui said while rubbing his jaw.
"How can I calm down?" I asked. "That thing just-"
"Take a few deep breaths," Komui suggested. "I'll explain everything to you."
I balled my hands into fists, and closed my eyes. I took a few deep breaths. When I opened my eyes, Komui was looking at me.
"All right," I said. "Tell me what I need to know."
