Chapter 2: The New Black Order

I do not own D. Gray-Man

A girl with dark green hair in pigtails walked along the corridors of the Order. She was on her way to the Science Department. A cheerful smile was on her cute face. She began to hum a cheery song.

"Oh! Hey Lena," A scientist called out to her.

She grinned and ran to them, "Hey guys! Have you seen Nii-san and Oji-san?"

"Your uncle is in his office while Alex is there, he's serving coffee." Johnny answered. Lena beamed at him and thanked them. Alex turned around and saw his sister running to him. He put the tray down and hugged his sister.

"Good morning!" She chirped happily.

"Good morning too, aren't you in a good mood?" he observed by how she acted. She giggled and nodded.

"Auntie is coming home today!" she replied and hugged his arm. Alex laughed and patted his sister's head. He then got the mug of coffee on the tray. Lena squealed and hugged her brother tighter.

"Thanks Nii-san! I love your coffees!" she said loudly and took a sip.

"I know that imouto, I bet you're hungry, let's go to the cafeteria shall we?" he suggested.

"Sure, I wanted to drink the coffee in the cafeteria too. Bye! Say hi to Oji-san for me Reever-san!"

"Will do Lena, you go eat now. The Supervisor doesn't like it when you don't eat. He says you need 'force-feeding'."

She pouted cutely, "I know, we need to go now, bye again!"

With that, the twins left, their arms linked together. Johnny smiled sadly and sighed.

"They look so much like them."

"Yeah, they do, don't they."

The twins reached the cafeteria and entered. Finders and other scientists greeted them. You could say that almost everyone liked them. Well, who wouldn't? They were kind and cheerful kids. They were also their only remembrance of Allen and Lenalee.

"Hello Alex! Hello Lena!" Jerry greeted them.

"Hello!" they greeted in unison.

"What do you want for today Lena?"

"Oh, the usual please," Lena answered.

"And how about you Alex, what will you have?"

"The usual too," the white haired 13 year old replied. He really didn't want to say it all since it was too long. Ah, the appetite of the parasites. Jerry loved those kinds of appetites.

"Here you go! Enjoy your meal!" Jerry said and handed them their meals.

"Thank you!" Another reply came from the twins. They left and went to their usual table. Finders and scientists greeted them as they walked towards their table. Of course, the twins greeted them back happily.

"Nii-san, how did your research go?" Lena whispered to her brother.

Alex shook his head, "Bad. No information was found about them. It's like they weren't even part of the Order."

"That's not true, I once talked to Auntie and Reever-san, and they said that our parents were exorcists. They were one of the exorcists who fought against the Noah Clan. I also heard that our father was the one who defeated the Millennium Earl." Lena said to her brother.

"Really, but why is there no information about them? Even the exorcist that you're talking about is a mystery. I asked some of the new scientists—"

"Why new? Of course they won't know Nii-san, they ARE new." Lena rolled her eyes.

Alex glared at her playfully, "I know, I know but it's worth a try. I hoped that I could get some information from them but I was wrong. I can't ask Reever and the others because they'll only make an alibi."

"I get that a lot too. Whenever I would ask a finder, he would say that he doesn't know anyone like that or he has an exorcist to accompany. It's weird isn't it?" She said and put a spoonful of soup into her mouth.

"How are my favorite twins in the Order?" A familiar female voice said and then a pair of skinny arms was wrapped around them.

"Auntie, we're the ONLY twins in the Order!" Alex whined but hugged her back. Lena squealed and giggled. She hugged her 'Auntie' back.

"We missed you!" Lena exclaimed happily while Alex nodded in agreement.

"I missed you two Alex, Lena," Maricar replied and grinned, "I also met someone named umm… well… JACK."

"What did he say? Did he mention me?" Lena asked excitedly. She was also blushing deep red.

Maricar smirked, "Oh, he just asked whether you were fine or not. He also asked me what you liked in a boy and if you were single—"

"AHEM! What did I said to you Helena?" Alex asked angrily and tapped his left foot. Lena pouted and sighed. Maricar looked at the two of them.

"What's going on here?" she asked Lena and Alex.

Lena sighed, "Nii-san doesn't like it whenever I or someone mentions Jack. He said that talking about him is forbidden. I guess Nii-san dislikes him."

"No!" Alex interjected, "I don't dislike him! I LOATHE THAT GUY! I know that he'll only steal you away from me!"

Maricar snickered while another sigh escaped from Lena's mouth.

"Really, you inherited your uncle's overprotective behavior. Maybe, someday, you'll also build a robot and name it Komurin and destroy the Order because your sister is dating someone and then injure most of the exorcists and inject…" Maricar trailed off and shuddered in the memory.

"He MUST know what's good for him or else…" Alex grew horns and his tone got darker. Lena sweat dropped at her brother's crazy antics.

"You know Auntie, the last time we visited 'You-Know-Who'… Nii-san almost killed him. He just hugged me! He didn't do anything else!" exclaimed Lena.

"Damn, my claws were so close to touching his stomach…" The white haired boy muttered darkly.

"Stop clawing the table Alex," Krory scolded him as he went to their table with his food. Beside him were Miranda, Marie and Timothy.

"Good morning Krory-san, Miranda-san, Marie-san and Timothy-san!" Lena greeted.

"Oh! Good morning guys!" Maricar greeted too.

"What's up with him?" Timothy asked and pointed to Alex who was clawing the table again.

Maricar sighed, "Sister Complex."

Everyone let out an 'Oh'. They all knew how harsh Alex can be when it comes to his dear sister. No one had to ask where he got his Sister Complex. But they were curious how he inherited one of his uncle's traits.

"Have you talked to them already?" Marie asked while Maricar just nodded as her response.

"Yeah, they said they were fine…just homesick." Maricar said. The twins couldn't help but notice how their aunt's cheerful tone suddenly changed into sad. They also knew that they were keeping a secret from them.

"Alex, I heard that Lou Fa and some scientists from the Asian Branch will be visiting." Krory suddenly said. The boy stopped clawing the table and began to tremble. After seeing Alex, Lou Fa fell in love with him. It was love at first sight as quoted by Lou Fa herself. She then became dedicated in making Alex fall in love with her. She became more open when it came to her feelings too. Unfortunately for her, Alex thought that her actions were creepy so the young boy avoided her at any cost.

"Why didn't you told me?" Alex exclaimed.

"Why are you so freaked out whenever she's here Nii-san? It's not like she's going to eat you alive." Lena said and rolled her eyes. Alex glared at her playfully and snorted.

"You don't know what she's like Lena, whenever we meet, she would always hug me like there is no tomorrow!"

"I had to admit, most of her actions are pretty…eccentric." Lena complimented.

"Alex-san!" a familiar voice echoed. Alex looked around frantically and ran away, leaving his food. At the same time, Lou Fa entered the cafeteria happily.

"Alex-san, are you here?" She then went to Lena's table, "Len-chan, is Alex-san here?"

Lena bit her lip, "U-Uh, No! Nii-san left for a mission to Australia!"

"Oh? Then whose is this?"

"Huh?"

"This food," Lou Fa pointed out.

"It's mine Lou Fa!" Krory suddenly interrupted. Lou Fa seems to have bought their lie. Lou Fa sighed and went back to the other scientists.

"I'll go tell him." Maricar volunteered and left.

:::: Maricar's POV::::

I walked along the corridors of the Order, searching for Alex. Could it be that he's lost? Probably, he did inherit some of his father's traits. One of those traits is having no sense of direction.

"Alex!" I called out. I sighed and continued on searching for the lost boy. My feet stopped on their own when I passed by a certain room. I bit my lip and forced my feet to move but they won't. It's like they have a mind of their own… or could it be that my memories are just controlling them? A wave of nostalgia washed over me. I closed my eyes and forced myself to look at the door of this room.

"T-This room… Oh god, not again…" I muttered to myself as my fingers touched the wooden door. I was on the brink of tears. Damn it… Why does this have to happen again? I hate myself! After they left… I promised to myself that I will never pass this room ever again.

I opened the door and took a step in. My hands were trembling and my whole body was shaking. I need to control my tears. This was just their room, but why was my heat aching?

Their room…filled of memories. I missed them so much. We missed them so much.

I wish they'd… come home…
