Disclaimer: I do not own D gray man

I'm mad. Why? Because when I type in Krory, there are only three fics for him. I'm so mad that I'm going to write about him. Happy!

Title is based off of a KroryxMiranda fanart by DaRkCoUnTeSsB. Type it in on DeviantArt

Also, Miranda will have a German accent, because she is german and its about the only easy accent to write out here. Yes I know there are no accents shown in the anime or manga but they usually don't becuase of just the english translation. no body freak out k?

Ja- yes

Nein- no

Mein- my

Gott - God

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MIRANDA'S GERMAN ACCENT (. I dont see why not....I like it...)

YOU CAN VIEW THE PLAIN ENGLISH VERSION ON MY DEVIANTART ACCOUNT. Link on my profile. thank you.

After a brutal Akuma attack, Miranda was given the task to go back to headquarters with the wounded Finders and the Innocence that was recovered. Though to anyone else, these men were fine. But thanks to her unique ability, they were fine as long as she kept her Time Record activated.

They boarded immediately and waited to leave.

Miranda sighed as she plopped down on her seat. It was tiring, keeping her Innocence activated for so long but she's dealt with worse. The Finders sat in the booth behind her, huddled together as they spoke about the battle they just witnessed.

It was a rather intense mission, at least to her, being on the defense all the time, it was. She knew it was utter hell for her friends who jumped in the fray without question. She looked down at her right hand where her Time Record glowed with power.

Even as an exorcist, she couldn't help but feel useless.

But why? She can control time!

What good is that on the battlefield?

She placed her chin on her fist, looking up at the sky through the window and began to argue with herself.

Vell, everyone needs a good defense…

"Miranda?" someone called out. She was a little too caught up in her own conflict that she didn't notice the cloaked figure speaking to her.

But vat about fighting?

"Um...Miranda?"

Zen again I don't zink I could fight even if I had ze ability!

"Hello?"

Ja zat's right! I'm too much of a clumsy coward to fight and-

Finally, he leaned over and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped up and yelped in surprise.

"Eeek!"

"Dah!" he did the same.

"O-oh! Krory?" she blushed in embarrassment," I'm so sorry I didn't see you!"

The tall exorcist also blushed, rubbing the back of his neck with his goofy smile.

"I-I'm sorry I startled you!"

"Oh no! I'm sorry I vasn't paying attention…oh vait, I zought you vere vith Lavi and Bookman" she watched him sit in the seats in front of her.

"Lavi says that 'It's very foolish and not gentlemen like to leave a young woman alone and unprotected!'" he recited, then paused, he poked his chin like he was trying to think," Or…something along those lines…I think…"

Miranda giggled," I see"

"Y-yes, so here I am. Oh! If that's alright with you I mean, I just-"

"Oh no, It's alright" she smiled.

He also smiled, unconsciously showing off his pearly white shark like fangs.

Fangs.

They make her nervous every time she saw them. She had seen what he was capable of on the battlefield, and every time she was glad she wasn't an akuma. Yet even as a comrade, it was still nerve-wracking.

He followed her eyes and immediately closed his mouth, concealing his fangs behind tight lips.

"I….I...um…" he mumbled nervously.

"Oh…n-no, I'm sorry I vas just-"

The train finally began to move, she could've sworn she heard him squeal in excitement. She watched in awe as the fierce "vampire" exorcist pressed his face up against the glass, watching everything pass by as the train gained full speed.

"Hee hee…"

She blinked; he looked like a young boy on a train for the first time. He was a completely different person from the Krory she was used to seeing.

Where on earth did that fierce vampire go?

'Maybe…zat's apart of his ability? He's only like zis vhen he's fighting? she thought to herself.

Then it clicked.

That's the only time she's ever seen him. When they're on a mission together and he's in kill mode (or in his case, hungry mode).

They have never talked one on one…ever.

This revelation somehow made her more nervous than looking at his anti-akuma weapon.

It was pure silence between the two exorcists. He kept his eyes on the window as Miranda toyed with the zipper of her uniform, and looked around every once and awhile.

By now she was so used to her other friends being the outgoing and talkative ones and she would listen happily.

Maybe he doesn't vant to talk… she thought. Keeping her head down, she looked up at him

He was watching her from the corner of his eye. For a moment their eyes met unexpectedly and the two quickly looked away. She gulped nervously, there was a light pink tint on his cheeks, and she knew she saw it.

Nein, he's just as nervous as me…she began to twiddle her thumbs.

But vat should I…

"HEY YOU TWO!" a Finder suddenly popped out of nowhere, shattering the silence with no mercy.

Both Miranda and Krory screamed and jumped up, pressing their backs against the window like there was no place to hide or run.

The Finder blinked," OH…did I scare you?"

The two let out a big sigh of relief and slumped back to their seats.

"Um…I just wanted to tell you that we'll be at our station in a few more hours"

Krory nodded and wiped the seat from his forehead and Miranda was clutching her heart, trying to catch her breath.

"O…k…" The Finder walked off and mumbled to himself," Why did we get stuck with the weird ones?"

The moment had passed and the two made eye contact, they both smiled. Soon they erupted into laughter, at themselves and each other.

"Oh my, zat…zat vas a little silly of us vasn't it?" she wiped a tear from her eyes.

"Hehe, yes it was!" he laughed

"I didn't know you could be frightened easily"

"Oh y-yes an old habit of mine, I can't really help it" he smiled sheepishly.

"I vouldn't have known, you're ze scary one…"

Krory put his hands up in defense," When I'm fighting Akuma only, but I think we're all different when we get caught up in battle"

She saw it click on his face, he noticed it too.

If that was the case then they have idea who the other really is.

"Arystar Krory" he extended a hand out to her.

"Miranda Lotto" she took his hand, a friendly handshake.

"vat? Everyzing?" she gasped.

"Even my clothes…" he sighed.

"Zat's mean! You didn't know how to play poker…"she paused at her own words,"Vait…zen vhy did you play if you knew you didn't know how?"

"I thought it would be fun…" He made an annoyed pout that made her laugh.

"Lavi and Allen said I was too nice"

"Is zat really a bad zing?"

"Well…I did feel bad when I didn't buy a flower from a little girl…so…" he stopped himself and hugged himself with his cape very thankful to have clothes on.

She got the idea and smiled.

"Don't feel so bad, I vish zere vere more nice people like you"

He cocked his head to side, like a confused puppy.

"Vell…ze neighborhood kids did nozing but crush my spirit everyday…" she sighed, there was a hint of a pathetic laugh but she was serious.

"…Really?" his voice was quiet "I had the same thing too"

She blinked in surprise," You…too?"

"The villagers back home called me a monster and kept me out, it was very depressing"

"Vat did you do?" she asked innocently, she listened to every word to the only person she could relate to.

"I fled, locking myself away in my castle" he realized the purpose of the question and asked her," What about you?"

"I have a bad habit of not knowing ven to quit…I've been fired 100 times up until my Innocence vas activated" she laughed nervously.

"Wh-what? 100 times? That's amazing," he gasped.

"I don't see vat's so great about being fired zat many times…" she mumbled, looking away for a moment.

"Well…no I mean…I would have never been able to do that. I would've given up after being fired once"

Miranda suddenly felt good about herself.

"R-really?"

He smiled big and nodded.

"I vish I had thought of zat sooner und maybe I vouldn't be so depressed all ze time…alzough zat even if I did know zat, it wouldn't stop how clumsy I am und…"she paused and looked up at him.

He was silent and listening carefully, looking interested but it still got her worked up.

"Oh I'm sorry! I'm rambling!"

"Oh no it's alright really!" he tried to convince her, but…

"I know…I can be very negative about myself sometimes"

He smiled slightly," That's ok. People take advantage of me"

"I feel useless," she added.

"I'm really shy"

"I'm clumsy"

"I'm a crybaby"

There was a pause, the train had stopped.

"Vhy haven't ve met before?" Miranda asked, standing and smiling big.

"I'm don't know but I'm glad we did. Nice to meet you."
