Pairings: None as of yet, though may get hints of Laven later
Summary: It was supposed to be a normal day at the Black Order. Unfortunately, Komui had other plans. What happens when our main four protagonists are hit by one of Komui's strange components?
Warnings: Mild cussing
Disclaimer: I don't own D. Gray-Man or any of its characters.
It was a fairly normal day in the Black Order. Well, as normal as the Black Order can get with the daily fight between two certain exorcists happening.
"Stop fighting!" Lenalee shouted, pushing the two apart.
"Sorry Lenalee." Allen muttered.
"Che." was Kanda's reply.
"Good job, Lena-lady!" Lavi congratulated.
"I do it a daily basis..." Lenalee sighed.
"I'm really sorry Lenalee!" Allen apologized.
"It's alright." Lenalee smiled. "I'm used to it by now anyway. Back to the task."
She picked up the coffee tray she had sat down. There were two more. Lavi, being the 'gentleman' he is, picked up one, while Allen took the other. Kanda 'che'd while he followed them to the science division to turn in his report for his most recent mission.
Once there, the four realized how empty the main room was, yet how loud Komui's office was. Lavi, Allen and Lenalee set down the coffee on the table, while Kanda walked over to the door. He tried to open it. Locked. Kanda then got into position to cut the door with Mugen.
Allen sighed and walked up, grabbing Mugen and hoping for no protests. He unlocked the door with the swords tip, then pushed it open. He and Kanda were met with the sight of yet another Komulin, Komui trying to fight past the entirety of the science division with a beaker of purple-green liquid in his hand, and Reever scolding the head of the Black Order's HQ like he was a child.
"What's going on in here?" Lavi asked as he pushed past the two in the doorway.
"Don't come any closer!" Johnny shouted. Meanwhile, Komui grinned evilly. He proceeded to 'accidentally' throw the beaker of liquid at the group in the door just as Lenalee moved to stand behind the three boys.
And such, the beaker broke and the liquid splashed onto the four at the same time.
"What is this stuff?" Allen asked, pulling some of the purple-green substance out of his hair.
"You'll see..." Reever groaned, before promptly smacking Komui over the head. "You idiot!"
"It didn't do anything?" Johnny said, confused.
"Maybe because they're exorcists it didn't happen." 65 theorized.
"What if it does something?" Lenalee asked.
"Don't panic." Reever sighed. "That's all we can tell you. Though whether you'll remember that advise or not depends..."
"Ugh." Kanda let out, shoving his report onto Komui's desk before abruptly leaving.
"I guess we'll have to wait and see." Lavi sighed. "I'm going to take a shower."
"Same." Lenalee and Allen said simultaneously.
"Well then, see ya in a bit." Lenalee told the others before turning to leave. Allen and Lavi followed a few seconds later. Reever let out yet another sigh.
"Let's just hope nothing happens..." he said.
The next morning, Allen woke up feeling a little... off. For one, he wasn't at the inn he fell asleep in last night. Plus Cross was nowhere to be seen. Usually he'd be passed out somewhere in the room. Allen lightly scratched his head before pulling himself out of bed.
"This is weird..." he muttered. "Where the heck am I?"
He looked around the room after making the bed he had woken up in. On the wall next to the bed, there was a picture of a clown carrying a coffin on a spiraling downwards path. At the foot of the bed there was a desk and chair, and next to the desk there was a wardrobe that doubled as a bookshelf. There was a small window high up on the back wall, and a coatrack in the corner. Light came from a small wall-lamp the was to the right of the painting.
"Where am I?" Allen asked himself. "Seriously... Whatever. Maybe I can find a dining hall or something."
With that, he left the strange yet familiar room.
Lenalee woke the next morning with a yawn. She looked over to see Komui asleep at his desk. She giggled, but couldn't really remember how she ended up in her brother's office on a couch. Maybe she'd ask him later.
Papers were scattered about. The mess was worse than it was the last time she was in here, and that's saying something. Not to mention there were twice as many stacks of paper and they were twice as tall. Something about that was a little... off.
Lenalee sat up, then threw her legs over the side of the couch before standing up. She then made her way around Komui's desk and shook him. Nothing. That caused the girl to sigh.
"Guess I'm off to the cafeteria. I'll have Jeryy make something for nii-san." Lenalee said to herself. She then left the office, glad that most of the science division had fallen asleep so she could sneak out unnoticed.
Lavi looked around when he woke up. He was in a bed, not a tent. Plus Bookman was nowhere to be seen. Lavi slowly sat up, wincing at the terrible headache.
"The heck happened?" he asked out loud. "Where's the panda? Probably went out somewhere."
Lavi sighed and shook his head before getting off the bed. The room he was in was rather plain. There was another bed, probably where Bookman slept. Other than that, there was only a closet and bookshelf, both fairly full of stuff. Just then, Lavi's stomach growled rather loudly. He chuckled.
"Guess I oughta find somewhere I can eat." he mused as he left the room.
Kanda opened his eyes to his meditation room. He couldn't really remember how he got there, but he did remember zoning out for a bit. Was it morning already? Kanda sighed before standing.
"I should go to the dining hall before Teidoll comes and bugs me about going to eat." he told himself.
The male walked to the door of his meditation room. He hesitated for a moment before opening it, an unknown yet familiar feeling beginning to surface in his stomach.
'What is there to worry about?' he asked himself mentally.
The four reached the cafeteria roughly five minutes in between each other. Kanda was first, then Lenalee, who was followed closely by Lavi, and Allen was last, seeing as he got lost. Two minutes after Allen had gotten there, Komui walked in, slightly worried about the four. And boy was he right to be worried. Kanda had become 15, Lavi was 14, Lenalee was now 12, and Allen was 11. Meaning only Kanda and Lenalee actually knew where they were.
To top it off, they all had the clothes that they had at those ages. For Kanda and Lenalee, it was their exorcist uniforms, just smaller since they were younger and shorter. But for Lavi and Allen... Lavi was wearing a green shall, white scarf, brown pants, and even darker brown boots. Allen still had white hair and the curse mark, meaning he had met Cross, and was wearing a simple white button up with the sleeves rolled, black pants, and black boots. He had a black hand brace on his left hand that covered up the green cross.
"Nii-san!" Lenalee called from where she was sitting next to Kanda. Komui looked over to her to see her making a motion for him to go to her. He did just as Lenalee wanted.
"What is it, Lenalee?" Komui responded as he reached the table.
"Who're they?" she asked, pointing the Allen and Lavi, who were now making conversation with each other at the table they were at.
"Allen Walker and Lavi." Komui said.
"That sounds... familiar sort of." Lenalee said, tapping her chin.
"Che. Who cares?" Kanda responded as he finished his soba.
"Well, I need you two to come with me." Komui said, then walked over to Allen, repeating what he just said to him. The white haired boy looked up, then put his fork down, swallowed the food in his mouth, and stood. Komui got Lavi, then the five set off the Komui's office.
'This is going to be hard to explain...' Komui sighed mentally.
