Geez, I don't know why I wrote this story to begin with, but Rhodes character is kinda hard to work with, but I guess I could try. Besides this is a fanfic, not a real life crap. I've never written something that takes shape mostly around romance; it's not my thing. Horror is my thing.
And I don't own D.Gray man coz if I did I'd put in a lot more blood and gore along with different and weird characters like me!
Chapter 1
"A-Achoo!" I sneezed "Damn, I hate getting a cold."
I was in my room that day, taking a rest since I was exhausted from the battle in the Noah's ark. My injuries were supposed to be healing, but I felt so damn hungry and if the nurse found me out and about I knew that she'd kill me right here and right now. So I decided not to take the risk. The sun was beginning to set and I was standing by the window, watching the beautiful sky filled with warm colours. The sky looked great. I should've got out a sketchpad and started drawing something, but I injured my right arm and it was put in a sling so there was nothing I could do about it.
The sun set was the greatest part of the day for me. It's the time when the light turns into darkness; I know I shouldn't like the darkness and crap like that because I'm an exorcist, but come on, I was an orphan before so obviously I was used to seeing the darker side of things. Phft, yeah whatever. The sky began to darken as I continued to watch it – time passes quickly this way. Just sitting there and observing.
A knock could be heard outside the door and somehow I knew that it was Lenalee. I hurried towards my bed and shuffled underneath the bed covers just before she entered.
"Allen-kun, you alright in there?" she asked as she peered her head through the small gap in the door.
Her hair was beginning to grow back from the time when her innocence saved her life. It's been about a year now since that incident occurred and ever since there's been many battles between the Noah's and the Exorcists. And in my case that meant a lot of injuries.
"I'm fine, Lenalee," I smiled, sitting up in my bed "The injuries are healing and everything so yeah, I'm fine."
She giggled.
"Okay, if you need anything, call me."
"Yeah, sure. And thanks… for everything."
At that comment Lenalee stared at me for a while, smiled and then left. I decided it was better to go to sleep rather than to get up again. I mean come on, my body was aching like hell and I had another mission tomorrow. You may be wondering how the Order could be cruel enough to send an injured person out on a mission. Well, they're not. It was just logical. Many of the exorcists were severely injured or on missions, while my injury wasn't that major and I could manage seeing as I was only going to use my left arm. The other two accompanying me would be Lenalee and Lavi. Lenalee got injured pretty badly today and one of her organs was nearly pulled out by Tikki. She recovered pretty quickly from her injuries, while I'm still stuck here. Good ol' Lavi on the other hand was as lucky as a horseshoe. He escaped any kind of bad injury and came back to the order in one piece.
I could hear a noise outside. It came closer and I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. The person who was coming in was so damn obvious. I could her the person enter my room through the opened window.
"Rhode, what're you doing here?" I asked coolly, not even needing to look behind me "If it's got something to do with killing me then get lost."
She small figure smiled and waltzed across to my bed and sat on my chest. This surprised me and I tried to shake the young girl off, but she looked at me, paralysing and restricting any kind of harmful movement made against her. I groaned and looked at the girl sitting on top of my chest.
"Missed me?" she asked in a sadistic yet seductive tone "Coz I sure did."
"Not. On. Your. Life." I muttered, emphasising each word clearly "Get the hell off me before I get really pissed."
"Oh, come now, Allen," said Rhode giggling as she moved closer to me so that the only thing I could see was her face "I'm here to talk to you about something very important."
I sighed as I watched the little girl on top of me making up excuses for being in my presence. My mouth opened and I tried to scream for help from the members of the order, but nothing came out. I looked at Rhode and found her laughing. Great – now I can't speak without her permission.
"Now, look Allen," she said, brushing her fingers across my cheek, following the line of my jaw and trailing down my neck to my chest "I wonder what the Order would say if they found you consulting with the enemy in such manner, Do you really think they'd hear you out?" She leaned forward and started to undo the buttons on my hospital shirt that I was wearing "I don't think so."
The moved down to my stomach, leaving the chest bare with a few bandages strapped across it.
"I'm here to talk to you about something. Something that's to be taken very seriously," Rhode stated as she twirled her finger on my stomach, "It's about the Noah."
I sighed and looked at her with no objections. I mean, at least the kid would finish her story at this rate and get lost, right? My silver orbs met her yellow ones and I kept a stern face indicating for her to continue. She smiled before moving her finger down and around my belly button and then back up my chest again.
"They're gonna attack again, but this time more powerful than ever before," she said simply as she pulled herself away from Allen "You'd better watch it, Tikki's also found his true powers and won't go easy on you."
I opened my mouth, but nothing came out and I ended up sighing in annoyance instead. Rhode must've have noticed and she released from the trance that she'd put over me and I found that I was able to move and speak again. Slowly, I pulled myself out of bed to face Rhode who was now sitting by a chair near my desk.
"I know this isn't the only reason you came here," I murmured, eyeing the young Noah carefully "There's something else that you wanted to tell me, right?"
Rhode looked at me and smiled her sadistic little smile. I only stared back, my eyes cold with hate.
"Oh, Allen, don't give me that face. You're too adorable as it is," she giggled looking at me "I just wanted to see you is all."
Rhode stood up and began to walk towards the window, which she'd come through, but I began to run after her.
"Hey, wait! I know you wanted to tell me something so spill before I start screaming at the top of my lungs."
"Oh, Allen, I know you wouldn't do that. You love me too much to get me in trouble," Rhode walked back to me and planted a quick kiss on my cheek "If you're really eager to know what I wanted to tell you, meet me tomorrow by Baker Street."
With that, she turned on her heels and left. I sighed and made my way back to my bed, then shuffled beneath the bed covers. Great. Now I had a date with Rhode tomorrow and if anyone in the order saw me with her I would be in my grave faster than you can say Mitarashi Dango.

The moon was reflected in the waters below me – it was as white as the pure milk from a cow while the moon above me was as dark as the deep-sea waters. It was weird. It was as if the world had gone topsie turvie. On the other hand, I was normal, unlike in those dreams I had before the face of against the Noah's in the ark. I began to walk though the bizarre, run down world in front of me, stopping only when I came close to a small pond. I could see Lenalee in there along with Lavi and the others, all of them injured and bleeding.
"L-Lenalee!" I scream, plunging my hand into the pound "Wait, I'm coming. Hang in there!"
But then the water began to freeze. I pulled away in time, but something from deep within the waters grabbed my arm and began to pull me down with it. I got a good look at it before I was dragged down. It wore the exact same cloths as me, with a dark face and eyes that couldn't be seen properly due to the creepy glow emitting from it.
I was dragged down into the waters. Not knowing what to do, I began to kick my legs, completely forgetting about the figure that still held onto me. A faint dark chuckle could be heard from the dark form, but I managed to, somehow, easily free myself from its grasp. After that, I began to kick my legs and thrust my arms wildly, attempting to find my way up to the surface, but every time I thought I got close, I was badly mistaken and I had to try harder until I began to give up.
Death didn't sound to bad I guess. I've faced worse. But come on, how in their right mind would want to die drowning? Not me. But I couldn't go on.
Suddenly a hand plunged down into the deep waters and grabbed mine. I couldn't make out the face exactly, but when the person began to pull me and the surface was close I noticed. It was Rhode. She had a worried expression on her face, something I'd never seen on her before. After she'd pulled my up to the surface I began to cough out the water from within my lungs. Then I lay down on the ground, looking up at the dark moon above me, breathing slowly and steadily.
Rhode stuck her head over mine so that instead of the moon all I could see was her face. She smiled at me sweetly like a small child.
"You alright?" she asked as I sat up "You seemed to be in quite a bit of trouble so I just thought about helping."
I looked at her warily then shook my head and smiled at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine I guess…Thanks by the way. I don't know why a Noah would wanna help an exorcist, but hey, that's just the way life swings I guess."
Rhode frowned when I said that, but shrugged and looked up at the moon.
"Allen, you shouldn't judge people by the way they first appear. You split people into two categories: Good and bad, right?"
"I guess so," I murmured looking down at my feet "but that's the way I see the world, you don't have to teach me on how to see the world you know. Besides what brings you here?"
Rhode looked at me and smiled. Her usually eerie and sadistic yellow eyes were warm and welcoming. I noticed that she wore a small nightgown that fell to her knees.
"I'm the Noah of dreams, so obviously I roam around in peoples dreams," she replied "I heard you scream so I came into your dream and helped you out."
"Oh, so this is all a dream. So why not let me just drown and I'll probably just wake up in the middle of the night?" I ask her.
"Well, when you dream, your soul leaves your body and begins to travel through what are called planes. It's called an OBE or out of body experience. If I didn't come along and help you out you could have lost you're ability to come back to this plane and I know this plane to be great when it wants to be."
I nod and smile at her. I never knew she could be this sweet. It was kind of unbelievable. I was used to seeing the sadistic and blood lusted Rhode Camelot, but not this one.
"Astral projection," I said simply "that's what it is, isn't it?"
Rhode nodded, but we were soon interrupted by a voice that sounded so much like Tikki Mikk's.
"Rhode, the Earl wants to see you so get back here now!" came the voice from over us "I think it's urgent!"
I began to activate my anti-akuma weapon, but Rhode stopped me.
"Relax," she grinned, "It's just Tikki's voice. He can't enter the dream world without my permission. The only harm he can do is screaming through the door too loud and hurting our ears."
I chuckled as she said that.
"Well, I'll be going now," smiled Rhode as she turned on her heel to walk away.
"Hey, wait!" I cry, grabbing her hand "Thank you, for what you did back there. I owe you one."
Rhode looked around and smiled at me. Then came back in my direction and sat down right in front of me. She grabbed my head forcefully and pulled me into a kiss right on the lips. I stared at her in surprise as her hands roamed through my white hair, but then, before I could respond in any way, the world began to go out of focus.
