Akanishi-san: Woot! My first D. Gray-Man fanfic! Anyway, please go easy on me! I haven't read most of the series!

OOC WARNING but then again, what kind of story is NOT an OOC?

Ch1.

A knock was heard on the door where Kanda and Komui sat in, both looking at a file of a mission. "Enter." Komui said cheerfully, grinning at the door. Oh, he wanted to know what the two's reaction would be.

He was actually proud of himself for getting Kanda and the woman together for the mission. Kanda being short tempered, and his "uncreative" way of talking that hurts people, Komui was sure the woman would cushion it unlike the others who would yell back. They needed the best team work, and Kanda was not having any of that lately. This was perfect! However, his thoughts were 'This is going to be interesting!' Yes, he was more proud of himself for making the mission interesting. Well, for him anyway. He didn't know how the two would react. That was one of his fun things.

Kanda averted his eyes from his paper, and he almost dropped it when he saw who had entered. The woman who entered had shoulder length dark brown hair, matching brown eyes that showed warmth. She wore the exorcist cloak, however, it was open in the front and underneath it he could see a belt adjusted to her hip with a small pouch attached to it, as well as a small knife and claw like looking weapons. Those were her innocence weapons, and they looked pretty deadly. But that was not what surprised him the most. What surprised him is that he thought he knew her.

The woman who entered the room had a different reaction to Kanda. She was grinning when she entered, but soon as she saw Kanda after she had bowed to Komui, she blushed madly. It was HIM! She recalled how he had saved her before when she was little, and how could she forget? He was the reason she had entered into exorcist group. To her, he was her hero.

"Ka…kanda-san!" She stuttered on seeing him as she hastily bowed.

Kanda raised an eyebrow at her. He now defiantly knew he had known her from somewhere, she seemed to remember him, but where? But he wasn't going to ask. He would remember later. He didn't like asking anyway.

Komui was still grinning at them. Reactions were what he had thought it would be. 'How typical, Kanda doesn't remember.' He sighed. How not interesting. He sighed again, but got onto business. "Please sit, Yuuki." He said to the woman who had entered who was still gaping at Kanda.

Yuuki, snapping back to reality obeyed. "Oh, right. Yes." She plopped down on a couch where Kanda sat on as well, and she blushed madly from that. She was not only in the same room as her hero; she was sitting next to him!

"As you have probably heard, you two are to go on a mission together." Komui started, handing her a file which she took and skimmed through. "The mission is to go to the village of Brant, and collect the innocence and get any akuma that stands in your way." He paused, looking at them. Oh, he had defiantly chosen the right people to work together.

Kanda didn't seem that irritated of being her partner, and Yuuki looked like she would do her best to satisfy her hero. "Well, I'm sure Yuuki knows Kanda, but he does not know you. Yuuki?"

Yuuki nodded. "My name is Okamoto Yuuki." She said, still blushing. "I am 17 at this moment…" She looked at Kanda thoughtfully. "I was brought here to be an exorcist by…someone who saved me when I was young."

((Her past with him will be revealed to you soon, just wait patiently, probably in chapter 4 or so.))

Kanda however made no move that showed he remembered. He just nodded to her, taking in the information. So she was younger than him. Great, another younger exorcist he has to look out for. He hoped she would not be like Allen, who would sacrifice herself for something. For some odd reason, he didn't want to see her hurt.

Looking disappointed, Yuuki turned back to Komui for Kanda had asked a question, directed at Komui, not her. "When do we leave?"

Komui still grinning at Yuuki, said simply, "Tomorrow. I suggest you get ready. You two leave early in the morning. I will send Toma to be your guide." He scribbled something on a piece of paper, and handed it to someone who gave him a huge stack of paper for him to work on.

Nodding, Kanda stood up, exiting the room. "Do not be late." He said to Yuuki, and left.

Gaping at the door now closing after him, she too stood up hurriedly. "Wait!" She called, and ran out of the room after him. "Kanda-san!"

At this point, Komui was grinning wider now, and he slowly made for the door himself. He wanted to see what would happen. However…"Where do you think you are going…" A deep dangerous voice asked. "You…have work to do." A hand had grabbed his shoulder.

"NO! I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!" Komui wailed, slashed, threatened, but the researcher would not let him go, but to drag him back to his desk and handed him a pen.

"Work."

"Arg…sniff…But it looked so fun…" But he started to scribble on pieces of paper on his desk, imagining what was happening. He wanted to see…stupid paper work. He glared at it.

Corridor

"Kanda-san!" Yuuki called his name as she ran to where he was walking off to.

Kanda turned around, to see the woman, running. He frowned. Oh, great. Another Allen. Just what he needed. "What?" He growled at her. He wanted to get ready! Well…what did he need to get ready for anyway?

"Er…" She hesitated at his sudden anger. However, she knew he had a sharp tongue. She kept her cool, just to talk to him. Her hero. "Back there…when I said, 'someone'…" She looked at him, blushing. "I meant that it was you…"

Kanda's brow was now raised. Him? He does remember her from somewhere, but he didn't remember saving someone. He usually avoided saving someone he didn't need to, because well, it was troublesome, and usually it costed time, something he didn't like to waste. Don't get him wrong, he does save people, but he usually doesn't like to.

Seeing he still did not remember her, she kept on hinting that day. "It was in village of Schurr, I was to be killed…but you had saved me." She looked up into his eyes.

Kanda merely shrugged. He was already getting uncomfortable with her so close, and he didn't remember the day, which frustrated him. "Just do not disappoint me."

"Ah…yes, yes of course." She muttered, heart broken. So he did not remember her at all. Well, maybe in time. She hoped he would remember her…"I will see you tomorrow morning, Kanda-san." She smiled at him softly, and walked away.

Kanda frowned at the girl. Normally when he said something like that, the other would yell back at him, or at least show irritation. But the woman had acted as if it didn't hurt her at all…He shrugged, thinking that she was acting tough. Little did he know that those words sting her greatly.

Train Station of Destination (hey it rhymes!)

"We are here." Toma said stepping out of a train they had rode on. Kanda looked around the scene before him, noting every fact inch to inch of the place. He would remember corner to corner of each place he would go to. If he needed, he would need to find an escape rout, fast.

"I'm so tired…" A woman's voice said, yawning as she ascended the steps of the train. Kanda's eyes twitched at her not serious tone. On the train, she was so hesitant around him, especially since he said those words to her, and now she would be doing everything she could do to not to get in his way. It was annoying. But when he turned back around, he took his words back.

Soon as she had completely ascended, when her foot touched the ground, her eyes had turned from tired, to a serious one. Her eyes showed a calculating one, to one that seemed to see through many things. She looked so serious now, determined. Also as soon as she had both feet on the ground, her golem, which was sleeping all this time, flew into the air, ready for anything. It flapped its feathery wings, looking around as well. They looked ready. Not something Kanda was expecting from them.

'So the golem had different attitudes to missions as well…' Kanda noted in his head, now approving the two. On the train, he was wondering how he was going to get through this. It seemed there was really no trouble at all.

She looked around as he had done, carefully studying the village. She also held a map in her hands, in which she scanned as well. "Lead the way, Toma-san." She said, looking at Toma now, done with memorizing the map.

Toma nodded, he too surprised at her sudden change of attitude. However, he led the way without any hesitation. "This way. My friends had told me they were at the North Cave." He pointed to a spot on the map Yuuki had handed over to him.

Nodding the spot, both Yuuki and Kanda memorized the spot carefully, engraving the map into their minds again. "Got it." When those words came out of Yuuki's mouth, a different sound cut her off.

"Exorcists! Are they near?" The voice was coming from Toma's transceiver. The voice seemed so frantic, afraid. Did something happen?

Toma quickly got it, and spoke back into it. "We just got off of the train station! Is there something wrong?"

"The akuma had evolved…" The line was cut, and the transceiver only made buzzing sounds for a while. A scream then was heard in the background, and a maniacal laughing noise, and the transceiver was now dead.

Cursing under his breath, Kanda sped up. "We will go ahead!" Kanda said, motioning Yuuki to follow. Nodding, Yuuki followed without another word. She knew when to talk and when not to. This was time to hurry more than talk.

They reached the cave quickly, both looking ready. A crumbling of rock caught their attention in time as they leaped away from a weaponed hand that lashed at them.

"Exorcists!" The akuma yelled their title out, looking very happy. "Exorcists!"

Kanda quickly activated his katana, getting ready to slash at the akuma…however, some else beat him to it.

"Yes, that's what we are called!" Yuuki yelled, lashing at the akuma who leaped backwards from her clawed hand. Her hand had the claws that were strapped onto her hip earlier, and they were glowing dangerously with her innocence activated. On her back sprouted a pair of red angelic wings, letting her take flight.

Kanda recalled what Yuuki had said about her innocence while they were on the train. "I have two innocences…One I was born with, one I had gotten from someone very special to me…" So the wings were what she was born with, like Allen. She was born to be an exorcist.

"Honou no tsume!" She cried out, and with a slashing motion, she sent a fiery wave of claw like things at the akuma. The akuma, caught off guard jumped backwards, but had gotten few cuts from her attack, but it was still gaping at her.

It seemed very interested with her wings. "I didn't know exorcist can fly!" It cheerfully cried out, clapping its hands together. "I want to do that too!" It jumped into the air, and tried to knock her down into the ground by slapping at her.

But Kanda was also in the fight, his sword now activated, and lashed at it with his attack. "Mugenn Saiyakushyourai!" ((The attack he used when he did with Allen's first mission))

Yuuki gracefully had flown backwards with one pump of the wings, and had slashed at the akuma again, but once again, it leaped from harm. She frowned at it, growling her frustration. The akuma seemed far more advanced.

Kanda growled his own frustration as he tried to get it again, but it dodged, but he had him cornered. "NOW!" He ordered Yuuki. Yuuki was now diving with her wings folded, ready to strike, but something else caught her attention. A small whimpering was heard, and she saw a boy, about 10 years old cowering underneath the akuma.

"Kill the akuma!" Kanda's yell was heard, but she did not care. If she killed the akuma, she would kill the boy with it. She would not do that. She would not kill any innocent people.

Yuuki dropped one hand's innocence, and dived for the boy. When she was close enough, she lashed at the akuma, and diving once more, she grabbed the boy and took flight again. The boy sniffed in her arms, totally afraid with the situation. "Shh, it's all right…" She whispered to him, holding him with her left arm, her right hand's innocence still activated.

"YUUKI!" A frustrated growl came from the ground below her, and when she looked, the akuma had jumped away, into the cave and away from the sight. He cursed as he shot a frustrated glare at her.

It was, kind of his fault for not seeing the boy, but still! She could have at least hurt the akuma! He shot her another glare as she descended, dropping the boy down first. When she landed, her wings and her claws deactivated, and he too put his katana away. Her wings were now nothing on her back, as if there was nothing in the first place. But that didn't awe him too much this time. He was angry.

Ignoring his glares, she kneeled in front of the boy. "Hey kiddo, why are you here?" She asked with a soothing voice. She smiled at him warmly, brushing off a tear on his cheek. Kanda growled his frustration again, causing the boy to get even more worried, with the glares Kanda was giving him. Yuuki shot a glare at him as well, but went back to the boy. "Shh…" She hugged him, gently stroking his hair. "It's all right now…"

"Kanda-dono! Okamoto-dono!" Right then, Toma arrived, looking worried. "Is everything all right?" He stopped before he opened his mouth again. Oh no, he understood when Kanda was in a bad mood.

"No, this woman had let the akuma get away!" He shot Yuuki another look.

Yuuki shot him her own glare. "Well if I didn't, I would have hurt him!" She said, hugging the boy closer now.

"You still let the akuma go! Who knows what we are going to do now! We have to go find him again!" He threw his hands up in frustration, his eyes still on Yuuki.

"Oh yes, it's such a hard work, he went into a CAVE, Kanda-san!" She yelled back, oh, she was frustrated now. She couldn't take it. He acted as if life was nothing. She of course didn't know that Kanda didn't see the boy, and the only reason he was mad was because of that, he didn't see him; he was too worried about Yuuki. How annoying.

"The people in headquarters were right…" She murmured, tears falling out. "You are heartless…I was a fool to think you were my hero…you probably didn't mean to save me…"

"FINE!" Kanda yelled back, he was very, very angry at her now. But it really wasn't her fault, he knew that, but he didn't listen to himself. He just turned, and motioned Toma to follow. "If you are more worried about others than mission, fine, go back to the village. I will handle this myself."

Yuuki bit her bottom lip as he walked away, tears still falling. "Come here," she motioned the boy to sit in front of her as she got bandages out. "Let me see your arm, it looks like it needs a little patching. After that, we'll go back to the village, and they can see you to it. All right?" She smiled at him as best she could as she bandaged his arm.

The boy peered at her worriedly, his crying stopped. "Miss Yuuki, right?" He asked. Seeing her nod, he kept going. "I'm…I'm sorry…it's my fault you got into a fight with that man…"

"No it's not." She answered him, surprised. For a 10-year old looking boy, he sure understood what was going on around him. "All right let's go." She picked the boy up onto his feet, and was about to walk off, until a crumbling was heard again. This time, it was louder, larger. Huge rocks and boulders tumbled down the cliff they stood under of, and there was no time to avoid it all.

"Give me the innocence, you stupid boy!" Akuma's call was heard. Yuuki flicked an eye over to the boy, who was holding onto a necklace. So he had the innocence! That was why he was there in the first place! She muttered a curse for her not noticing earlier.

"Get under me!" She yelled, activating her wing innocence, she covered the boy with it, and with a flick, she threw her golem out of the harm's way. "Get Kanda-san and Toma-san! Tell them the innocence is here!" Without hesitating, the golem flew into the cave, fast as its wings could carry it.

The crumbling rocks tumbled to the ground, hitting her squarely on the back, her wings, everywhere, but she dared not to fall. She would not get the boy hurt, no matter what. When the tumbling rocks ceased, they were completely sealed in with the rocks around them, and with a small sigh of relief seeing the boy was unhurt, she let herself fall to the ground.

Akanishi-san: Woot! First chappie of D. Gray-man ends! Again, I'm sorry at the crappy fighting scenes. I suck, I know! And sorry if I get any of the concept wrong, because well, like I said before, I don't know that much about D. Gray-Man. Anyway, please review!
