Why are We in D. Gray-Man?!?!?! (DGM Fanfic!!!) (Book 1)

Chapter 13 - Bethany

"Oh my gosh... YOU ARE UUGLY!" I prolonged the "ugh" noise in "ugly" to be insulting, and it growled.

"Was that in insult?" The zombie-akuma said in it's creepy voice.

"Yes, yes it was. Great perception, oh great and wise demon from {downstairs}," I replied sarcastically.

"Was that sarcasm?"

"OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, YES IT WAS! NOW, GET TO THE ATTACKING PART AND STOP WITH THIS CRAP!" My temper broke out, and I realized that I had to keep it in check. No one had seen my true nature since I was a little girl, and my anger got the best of me an I nearly killed a boy who had been bullying Ally. Since then, I'd been imagining my little inner bottles of anger that was only to be used as an energy source. My anger was something not many people had seen, so showing it to an akuma was embarassing.

"Oh, does someone have anger issues?" It grinned and I got a beautiful picture of rotting teeth stuck in my mind.

I almost gagged, then whispered, "Innocence, activate!"

My claws came back, and the akuma stared at them like they were disgusting.

"Oh my, why would you bring something so sharp out?" It asked me.

"Because I want to help you," I replied in a soft voice. To be quite honest, I was partially mimicing what Allen did on Episode 70 when his Innocence became the Clown of God (Crown Clown). But anyways, the akuma looked surprised.

"I thought that your kind hated mine! Aren't you an Exorcist?" The Zombie akuma asked me.

"I do it for your poor, trapped souls. Your's... Is horribly twisted. I feel like it's my job to make you happy again," I smiled. Again, I caught it by surprise.

"Does that mean you're going to help me?" It whispered.

"Yes," I smiled kindly and walked up to it with my claws ready to fight, but the zombie never moved. I placed a single finger on it's head and said softly, "God, be ready to accept this soul into your gates," and with a single swipe, the creature was split in half.

The zombie smiled at me, and whispered, "Arigato, Exorcist..."

"You're welcome, Jamie." I whispered back. Little did I know that Allen was watching from afar, seeing how I would react to everything I faced. And apparently, accoring to Allen, I did exceptional.

~"~"~

Sun glowed onto my face. I felt like hissing like a vampire- I hated sunlight. 'Twas my worst enemy.

"When can we meet the Mayor?" I asked Allen.

"Soon," Even Allen was starting to get impatient with me. I'd already annoyed Rosen away, and I felt slightly victorious because of that.

We were just walking down the streets, and a series of screams erupted from the town. Allen and I broke into a run against the crowd, until we reached a street where a very fat man waltzed around a group of prisoners. I recognized a few- all finders.

This made me angry.

No one wants to see me angry.

Because when I'm angry, things blow up.

Literally.

I stormed up to the jerk fatty and grabbed his shoulder. I squeezed it extremely hard until he finally took notice of me. He simply gasped, and yelled to a few of his guards, "Exorcist! Get her!"

"That's one of the greatest mistakes you've ever made, my friend," I laid stress on the word "friend" to intimidate, then activated my Innocence once again.

"Boss, that's not natural..." One guard told the man.

"No, that's why Exorcists are bad," The fat man grinned at me (I mean, this guy looked like he could challenge the Millennium Earl in an eating contest!). I felt my canines grow longer in my mouth, and I decided to look feral and growled, showing off my strange teeth. I had no idea why my Innocence had decided to make me look more... animal-like, but I wasn't about to question it. I quite liked the new look >:333.

"I'm not quite sure why you hate Exorcists, but I can promise that we're the good guys." I tried to explain to the guards.

"No! You kill people in the streets! The mayor told us everything!" One exclaimed, and I guessed the fat man was the Mayor.

"WELL THEEEEEEN," I smiled at the Mayor, "I believe someone has a little explaining to do!"

He took a step back and looked into my eyes fearfully. Apparently, the undaunted look in my eyes scared him.

I stared at him, carefully, trying to figure out why he seemed familliar. Then I realized- He acted a lot like...

"Allen!" I yelled behind me, fear creeping into my voice. My breathing quickened as I slowly remembered what this guy seemed like to me.

"What is it?" The guards seemed surprised to see yet another Exorcist. I just grinned at them, trying to regain my confidence.

"Allen," I whispered in his ear, "That guy's a Broker!"

"What?! What should we do?" Allen's eyes widened. Brokers were easy to deal with, but the fact that he had used peoples' lives to gain money is what freaked us out. I mean, what if the Millennium Earl came to the fight? He usually doesn't, but I guess ya never know.

Geez, I'm psychic.

I pointed an accusing finger at the Mayor, "You...You're a Broker- Someone who sells souls to the Earl!"

He just laughed and sicced his guards on us. A silent agreement passed between me and Allen- we agreed to refrain from killing the humans.

"We're not going to hurt you, we're just going to capture the Broker so he doesn't give any more souls to the Earl!" I yelled to the men. They seemed to hesitate at that, but kept coming towards us.

"Allen, if they don't stop, we're going to have to hurt them." I looked at him, worried. In response, he smiled comfortingly, and that caused me to calm down, even if it was just a little.

"We're not going to hurt these people." Allen's voice was firm. I only nodded and dodged an attack from the guards.

"Allen, I'll hold off the guards-"

"Konbanwa," A whimsical voice said, "Who is this?"

I turned around to see the ever-grinning face of the Millennium Earl.

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~

That's a cliffy if I've ever seen one! And I so sorry if you seez spelin and/or grammatical errorz in dis chapterz, but I wrote the majority of this from 6:00-7:00 A-M. So I was kinda tired. And I wrote the whole thing. Except for the first 200 or so words. But to go from 200 words to over 1,000 is pretty awesome for a single hour in the morning, key word being MORNING.
