Chapter 2

is chapter 2 of the D.Gray-man manga series written and illustrated by Katsura Hoshino.

Summary
Allen is still making his journey to the Black Order.

He travels with some circus people, and - as he falls asleep - dreams about what happened three months previous. In this dream, he talks with his master (a man named Cross Marian) about the fact that Allen is officially becoming an exorcist. They discuss that he needs to go to the Black Order headquarters once he wakes up from his dream, and Cross Marian proceeds to strike him.

Allen awakens to a scream. He hears that there is an Akuma, and so he jumps from the chariot and goes to the crowd from where the voice emanated. According to the townspeople, it turns to be false alarm. The townspeople show him a child named Jan, who caused the uproar, but - even as the townspeople leave - Jan insists there is an Akuma. Allen then appears and saves Jan.

Jan grows excited, after seeing that Allen has an anti-akuma weapon. The two walk together for a while, as Jan asks him many questions, and Allen warns him - in turn - to be careful. Jan proceeds to give Allen an onion-shaped object, which contains a gadget which creates a tear-gas, and Allen thanks him for the gift, before he returns home.

Jan's friend Leo later arrives, which allows Jan to discuss with him the The Earl of Millennium, and - after this - Leo asks Jan to accompany him to the cemetery.

When Allen appears at Jan's house, at a later date, Jan foists his housekeeper upon Allen and departs to the cemetery to meet Leo, instead of entertaining Allen. Allen manages to warn Jan about Leo, before he goes into his house and sees Leo's draft of "The Earl of Millennium". At the cemetery, meanwhile, Jan meets "The Earl of Millennium". Jan throws an onion-bomb towards him. The bomb explodes, which triggers the Earl to ask Leo to join him, but Leo refuses.

The Earl explains that he is Leo. Allen reappears saying that it is true.

Chapter Notes

 * Allen thinks that the housekeeper reminds him of someone. Given her facial features, he might be referring to Barba (who works as a servant in Mother's church)
