The Marshal's Daughter (D.Gray-Man/DGM Fanfic)

Chapter 5: To Make It Possible

Waiting for Allen to come out of his room, Iris was sitting on the railings, playing with Timcanpy. She was so fascinated on how the golem became so little when the last time she saw him, it was bigger than Cross' head. Having a little version of Timcanpy wasn't odd, it just made him cuter.

Unfortunately for her, Allen sees her act like a child that has just received a new toy. He opened his door softly and Iris was busy with Timcanpy, meaning she really won't notice the silverette.

To the boy, he had already spotted the difference between the Iris then and now. It was not physically, but emotionally.

He noticed that that the redhead always seem so cheerful, and unlike before she's so laid-back in everything she does. When they were still together, Iris was always serious in everything she does, having a stern face. And to see Iris act like this, it was definitely something to take note of.

The golden golem sees Allen and flies to him, landing on his head. The boy was starting to get ready for a threat from Iris, but was surprised to see that she just smiles and approaches him. No threats came.

"How was your first night at the Order? Slept well?" The redhead asks.

"It was a great! I slept so soundly, I even want to still sleep but I'm excited to see the whole Order." Allen replied, stretching his arms as Timcanpy flew away and was nowhere to be seen.

"I heard you and papa were at India three months ago. Where is papa now?"

"The thing is... Marshall Cross told me to go to the Order alone to become an Exorcist, then hits me with a hammer that made me go unconscious. When I woke up, he left me with Timcanpy."

"That definitely sounds like something that papa would do. How is he? Is he still a bastard?"

"He's doing well, and he won't stop raising his debts." Allen cries, not wanting to call him a bastard because he feels that Marshall Cross will know it somehow one way or another.

"Hahaha! It seems he's really doing well. How about you? Any improvement?"

Allen told his story about having a friend in India who had a sister. The sister died and was turned into an Akuma, killing her little brother and took his form. The silverette had no choice but to kill the Akuma, to release the sister. It was tragic, since Allen rarely gets to have friends, especially with his left arm.

Iris remembered something and planned to use it to lighten up the mood.

"I almost forgot. Hey Allen, do you have the complete list of women papa flirted with?" Red horns and a red tail grew from Iris' body as she laughs with a purple aura. With her hair and eye color, she really looked the devil.

"A-Ah, wait." Allen searches for pockets and found nothing. He started to panic and looked for the list in his luggage, still not finding it anywhere.

"Aaaaaallen..." Iris says in a horrific voice.

"Wait! I'm sure it's in here somewhere! Aaah! Where did I put them?"

Timcanpy flies into the room, landing on Allen's bed. It just watched how Allen panics while Iris was looking forward to mincing his left arm. Iris doesn't really plan to mince his arm, it was just to fill Allen's head with something else to forget the sadness.

"It seems you'll have to see Komui again to repair your left arm." Iris smirks, having a glint in her eye.

"Hold on! I'm definitely sure I placed it around here somewhere!" Allen pleads, running out of hope.
