Title: Children
Genre: Humour
Characters: Cross Marian, Young Lenalee, Kanda and Daisya, Marie, Tiedoll
Summary: Cross comes back to the Order after a long 'break', only to find out that many things in the Order had changed, especially the number of children.

So I came back to the Order.

Curses.

General Cross Marian had returned to the Order only to find that plenty of things had changed. Well, it’s not that he had been absent for years, he just did not return often. He would be fooling around for months before returning for about a day in lest his superiors questioned. So it was only now did he notice the differences in the Order in comparison to how he remembered the damned place. (Which was horribly outdated.)

The chef changed. (Not that he could complain, the food was good. The chef himself was another issue altogether.) The Supervisor changed. (Bring out the bells. Hallelujah.) Some of the staff was definitely different. (Transferred or dead.) But what really made General Cross raise an eyebrow were the Exorcists, to be more specific, a particular group of Exorcist.

Since when were there so many children in the Order?

Maybe ‘many’ was an overstatement. One child was uncommon, two children in the Order at the same time was rare but three?! Who the heck has been picking up so many brats?

And of course, these ‘brats’ left General Cross with a rather deep impression, both in the mind and his clothes.

******************************

General Cross walks out of his room, shaking off a slight hangover due to drinking the previous night. It was already the late morning but it was never a habit of his to wake up when the sun rises. That’s how it always been everytime he makes his short returns. Drink, sleep, Wake up, maybe eat then go give a fake report to the Supervisor and lastly, vanish for a few more months.

However, this time the part before step four was interrupted.

“Daisya, stop chasing after me!” He had heard someone shouting. It was a child running towards him. The child (Boy? Girl? Cross couldn’t tell.) had long black hair and was holding a long weapon.

“If you stopped running, I wouldn’t be chasing!” The second child hollered. Another pint-sized shrimp (Boy) with bed hair and carrying what looked like should belong on the dinner table. Pie.

“Drop that damn thing then!”

“It’s just a little cream pie, eat it!”

“NO!”

The black haired one had just reached the staring General when the other brat pulled out a round object and kicked it.

“Charity Bell! Shoot!” The spherical object flew forward in a perfectly straight path, bouncing off the wall in front of the first brat and landing right where his next step should have been. And brat number one tripped and fell face first.

And then brat number three appeared (Obviously a girl, long hair, black dress), and was about to grab the arm of brat number two then with a battle cry of “EAT PIE!”, the pie flew in a beautiful parabolic motion…

And landed right on the General’s coat with a ‘splat’!

The cream leaked out of the broken pastry and started dripping down General Cross’s once clean coat onto the stone floor.

“Ah, crap. I missed. Guess my foot-eye coordination is better than my hand-eye one. Right, Lenalee?” The messy haired brat turned to the girl, grinning. The girl did not return a grin.

“D…Dai…Daisya. That’s a General.” Lenalee stammered.

Daisya looked at a silently fuming General Cross. Then he jabbed a finger at the General.

“That uncle’s a General? You mean like the old man? Whoopsie-daisy.”

“You…” Before General Cross could express his fury, Daisya interrupted him by pointing at brat number one.

“Hey Kanda! It’s your fault! If you just ate the cream pie, I wouldn’t even dream of throwing it at you.” Daisya tried to shift the blame in a completely unreasonable manner.

“MY FAULT?!” Kanda almost shrieked. “You know damn well I hate sweet stuff and you were the one who threw that stinking pie!”

“If you just let it hit you…”

“Kanda, Daisya… I think the General’s angry…” Lenalee squeaked fearfully.

“Who the hell would stand there and be a freaking target?!” Kanda strode towards Daisya and was in the midst of drawing his weapon.

“Oi Brats.” General Cross growled in a low dangerous voice. One could almost expect to see demons emerging from the shadows behind him.

Kanda turned around quickly, almost replying with a very rude “What?”, but froze when he felt the killing aura. Daisya gulped and Lenalee freaked out completely.

“Do you all have some sort of dying wi…” And then General Cross was interrupted yet again. This time by a rather large youth who ran over and grabbed Daisya and Kanda by their clothes. Then he pulled them both in front of the General and bowed, forcing the other two to bow in apology as well.

“What the hell? Marie! I’m not bowing!” Daisya protested. The other just grumbled very loudly.

“I’m terribly sorry for the behaviour of my Juniors. They’re being playful children just as all children are. I know surely their childish act has infuriated you in some way but they’re still learning their manners as they are only children. I hope you would forgive children like them.”
(Moko-chan:This is Peacemaker reference.)

General Cross could swear that Marie was emphasizing a certain term in his apology.

“You. You’re called Marie if I’m not wrong. Froi’s disciple?” General Cross asked, still miffed.

“Yes.”

“Those three?”

“These two,” Marie said referring the two directly and indirectly involved in the crime, “Are also General Tiedoll’s disciples. Lenalee is the Supervisor’s sister.”

“That means, you,” General Cross pointed at Daisya with a gloved hand “Who threw a pie at me,” He points at Kanda “You, who was supposed to be the one with cream on your clothes,” And lastly points at Marie, “And you, who apologized to me in absolutely the most irritating manner I have ever heard, are all Froi’s brats.”

“Uhh, yes?” Marie reluctantly answered.

When the disciples are in the wrong, the Master is to blame. The darkness moved.

“General Tiedoll is in trouble…” Lenalee said softly, fearing for the other General’s safety.

****************************

In the end, General Tiedoll just laughed it off and invited General Cross to join him and the children for a picnic.

Of course, the invitation was rejected.

****************************

Omake (I didn’t want to put this but Pika-chan requested it.)

Cross: At least I can expect more women in this blasted place.

Tiedoll: How so?

Cross: Give those two about 5 years or so and I expect the Supervisor’s sister and your kid to be real lookers.

Tiedoll: My kid?

Cross: That one.

Tiedoll: Yuu-kun is a boy.

Cross: … *mumbles (My god… Marian, you intended to flirt with a man.)

Tiedoll: Boy.

That was adorable *o* I especially love the fact that Daisya was in it X3 hope to see more of your fics :3

I'm glad you liked it. I'm planning to write more, depending on the different inspirations I get.

This is all sorts of brilliant. I love your Cross, and how he kept referring the kids as brats *snicker* Marie's apology is awesome too, and my favourite line would be When the disciples are in the wrong, the Master is to blame. The darkness moved. How so like Cross.

Awesome! We need more well-written genfics like this.

Thanks for your positive comments! It's great to know that I wrote Cross in character.
Pardon me for my lack of term knowledge, but what does genfic mean?

Genfic is short for general fiction, as opposed to fanfiction that has a main pairing as the focus. Genfic, like this fic of yours, does not focus on one particular pairing; it focuses more on the interactions between the characters and the stories of their life.

Well, at least that's my definition of genfic. It's very refreshing because as much as I love my OTP, I love more reading stories about my favourite characters' daily lives and the shenanigans they get into XD

Hmmm....interesting. I always thought fanfiction simply meant fiction written by fans. There was supposed to be a focus on a pairing? Another thing to ask though, what is OTP supposed to mean? I read it on the forums a lot and I still don't know what it's supposed to mean.

True, fanfiction by definition means fiction and stories written by fans. But due to the nature of fandom, some fans my prefer one pairing over the other, especially in a series in which there are many characters like D.Gray-man. For example, some fanfic writers like Allen/Lenalee as a pairing, so they explore this relationship in their fanfics. Same goes to Allen/Kanda, Lavi/Kanda, etc. Whether or not they are romantically involved in canon series is irrelevant, as fanfiction can be a vehicle of the writers to exercise their thoughts and imagination on the relationship between the characters. As such, many fanfictions has a main pairing as the focus of their story. Therefore you may see warnings at the beginning of a fanfiction, where the writer proclaim that "this is a story with this particular pairing as the focus", since not everyone likes the same pairing (I for one dislike Allen/Lavi, so I steer away from fanfics that writes about them to avoid wank).

Genfic is another category of fanfiction (you can call it a type of genre if you like). However, in this category, there are no specific pairing that the writer advocates. Genfics focus more on the interactions of the character or the inner thoughts of the chosen main character. So when you see the writer saying that their fic is gen, it means there are no specific pairings involved.

OTP means One True Pairing. Technically it means the pairing that you love the most. This is especially so in a series that has so many characters and the potential pairings are plenty. For example, I may ship Allen/Kanda, but my OTP is Kanda/Lavi.

Or something like that. I compiled this Fandom 101 from my own understanding and observation during my stay in the Net, so I hope it's accurate and understandable to you.

Okay, I understand now. Thanks a lot for your detailed explanations. I was wondering why you did't put Kanda/Lavi as your picture when it's your OTP :) I mean there's actually a difference between shipping and OTP pairing?
I like Lavi/Lenalee though.

Hmmm, from what I understand, there's not much difference between the two, as in you can say "I ship this!" and "This is my OTP!". Both can have similar meaning, except OTP carries a much more stronger statement, since it means your One True Pairing.

I love Kanda/Lavi, but I also ship Allen/Kanda and Allen/Lenalee =)I'm not completely obsessed with my OTP though, since there's more to the series than the pairings. I am, however, an unrepentant Kanda fan, and the image of him being glomped by both hyperactive Allen and Lavi always brings a smile to my face, hence the userpic ;)

More genfics plz.

I absolutely LOVE your Cross, as well as the portrayal of young!Kanda and young!Daisya (who does not get enough love in general as a character). Lenalee was quite adorable as well <3

Keep it up!

It's great that you like the way I wrote the characters and yes, the kids are absolutely adorable when they are younger.
