Lord Death's PoV:
"Oh please, Lord Death, please trust me! I won't do anything to you and Shibusen, all I want to be is enrolling here and be a proper meister!" She said.
I was thinking.
"Do you promise me that?" I asked.
She looked up to me and smiled brightly and innocently.
"I promise."
"Alright. Try it. Stein, bring her to class."
Maka PoV:
Like everyday I went to school with Soul, chatted with my friends, went to the libary and maybe eat some ice cream with Tsubaki. Then I made dinner for Soul and me, did my homework and went to sleep. Yeah, that's how my day was like.
But today it was a little bit different.
Dr. Stein went into our classroom. Except talking about dissection like normally he wanted to introduce someone to us.
"Class, we have a new student. Let me introduce to you Miko Mai." He said showing us a girl. "It's a pleasure to meet you!" She said a little quietly and she bowed.
Everyone was clapping.
She looked a liiittle bit younger than me. Maybe only one year younger.
She had black long hair and on both sides of her head she had little pigtails but only a little part of her hair was tied together. The rest of her hair went down. Oh, and her pigtails were tied with red ribbons which seemed cute in some way.
She seems to be tall as me but she had a young face with big blue eyes.
It's a bit rude but I wanted to see her soul, so I did. But all this what I saw was only shocking me.
I finally stood up.
"Dr. Stein! This is a witch!" I shouted. Everyone gasped and were ready to fight.
Many people transformed into weapons, everybody stood up and looked at the new girl with hatred and fear.
Everyone knew that witches were powerful since many masters died because of them.
Miko looked disappointed and yet afraid. Was she even a powerful witch?
Black star stood up too.
"Tsubaki!"
"Yes!" Tsubaki said and transformed.
Everyone were ready to fight this witch but Black star was the first one and wanted to charge at Miko.
She gasped and closed her eyes in fear.
But then she disappeared.
"Where's that witch!?" Black star shouted.
But she appeared behind Black star and jumped off to escape him.
She didn't seem like she wanted to fight.
When Black star was almost hitting her she turned into a dove and flew to Stein.
"Now, now, class. Don't bully a new student right after her appearence." Stein said.
I made big eyes.
"But she's a witch and that means-"
"-that means that's an enemy, I know. Maka, you looked into her soul, right?" Stein asked.
I was surprised but I nodded.
"Now, I guess you didn't look at it clearly. Try it again." He said.
The new student Miko turned into her normal form again, looking at Stein first, then at me.
She went a bit to the front but she was still scared.
I looked into her soul again.
What was my mistake? She was definitely a witch!
Wait, something's wrong...
It's true, she was scared because her soul was shivering but there's something else...
She was a hybrid. She was half a witch and... a normal meister?"
"You're not completely a witch..." I whispered loudly.
Miko smiled slightly. "Finally..."
Black star didn't get it.
"But witches are still our enemies, right?!"
"Maka chop!"
Miko was a bit nervous but finally had the courage to tell them.
"Actually... As 'Maka' said, I'm half a witch and half a meister. My mother was a witch and my father a meister. My mum was nicer than the others but she was still terrible in some way. At the end she was killed by some students of Shibusen."
Silence.
"... You know, that's why I rather grew up as a meister even if I have witch powers but I promised not to use them against you or anyone in Shibusen unless there's some enemy here. Please trust me."
Silence again.
"Well, I guess everyone understands now. Don't bully her, okay? Now, Miko, you can sit next to Kid, Death the Kid." Stein said.
Kid only twitched and it seemed like he didn't really want to sit next to her.
I sat down again.
"Do you trust her?" Soul asked next to me. I sighed.
"Maybe."
Dr. Stein continued with class normally and I was always looking at Miko just in case when she wanted to try something funny.
But she seemed too innocent to be evil.
"Kid-san, can you lend me your ruler please?" I heard from Miko.
Kid looks confused. "Err, sure." And gave it to her.
She smiled. "Thanks a lot!"
I sighed.
After class Stein told me, Black star and Death to show Miko the school, of course with their weapons with them.
"Black star, calm down! She didn't do anything to you yet!" Tsubaki told Black star who as fuming.
"I don't care! She's still a witch! Let's get rid of her already!"
"Maka chop! Black star, you're rude towards the new student!" I said angrily.
Miko smiled a bit unsure.
"It's alright, I understand him..." She sighed disappointed.
Black star was still loud but we still showed Miko Shibusen.
Death the Kid's PoV:
I can't believe that I sat next to Miko.
I somehow couldn't trust her.
What if her talk was just an act.
"Maka chop! Black star, you're rude towards the new student!" I heard Maka
shout. I chuckled.
I almost forgot that we had to show Miko our school so we did that.
Patty didn't seem suspicious of Miko's appearence.
"Miko-chan! Let us show you our school!" Patty shouted and grabbed Miko's
arm.
She blinked a little bit confused.
"Miko...chan?" She asked.
Patty nodded happily.
"Oh, and I'm Patricia by the way but just call my Patty! And that's my big
sister Liz!" She said and showed Liz to Miko.
Everyone was chatting with Miko but she somehow still looks worried of not being accepted.
Maybe she isn't that bad.
Then I just realized something about her hairstyle.
"Uhm... Kid?" Maka asked.
I looked at Miko dramtically.
She just looked at me a little bit worried and afraid.
"Your hair..."
"W-What's with them?"
"They're not symetrical! The ribbons don't go down as the other ones, can I fix
them?" I asked slightly horrified.
She looks a bit disappointed but nodded with a slight smile. "Sure."
Maka PoV:
While Kid was making Miko's hair she looked at me with a What-is-he-doing-look. I giggled.
"He's obsessed by symetry and gets depressed if something's asymetrical. You'll get used to that." I explained her.
She blinked for a while and giggled then.
"Don't move!" Death the Kid demanded.
"Sorry..." Miko said.
I only laughed.
"Maka, I just remembered that we didn't make a mission lately." Soul told me who was right next to me.
I twitched and blinked for a while. Snce when has he been here?
"Uhm... Right."
"That also goes for me and Black star." Tsubaki joined us with a polite smile.
"And for us too..." Kid said while making Miko's hair.
"By the way, where are Black star, Liz and Patty?" I asked, looking around.
"Oh, they wanted to buy some sweets if I'm not wrong..." Tsubaki said.
Kid finally finished.
"Perfect symetry!" Kid smiled with shining eyes.
Miko blushed lightly but chuckled a little.
They stood there silenly after Kid went totally crazy and took Miko's hands.
"Since it's hard to make these ribbons totally symetrical I can help you every morning with it and also with washing you, dressing you and-"
Suddenly we could hear someone hitting Kid on the head who was Liz.
She grabbed Kid's shirt and dragged him away.
"I'm sorry Miko, sometimes it happens that he says that but he didn't mean it, don't worry." Liz smiled at Miko.
"And this talk he just made sounded sooo... Gay."
Miko was blushing madly at what Kid said but smiled and nodded slowly at Liz.
She laughed after the next comment.
Then Patty came and hugged Mitsuko.
"Hey, Miko, since we're about to become friiieeends~, can we call you Miko-chan or Mi-chan? Oh my god, this just sounds sooo cute!"
Miko was thinking.
"You just called me Miko-chan earlier and... It's fine, you can even leave out the -chan part." She smiled.
Finally Black star came.
"The awesome god is here! And I'm so awesome that you didn't even realize that the school bell rang, did you?" He smirked playfully.
Everyone was silent.
"Crap!" Was all I said.
~later~
"So, what are your excuses for being late?" Stein asked, raising an eyebrow.
Everyone was shivering a bit of fear that they could be dessected.
"U-Uhm, we were distracted and didn't hear the school bell..." Maka explained.
Stein was thinking and looked at Mitsuko first.
"Did you try anything funny?" Stein asked, pointing his knife at Miko.
She almost squeaked in fear but she just gulped.
"Do you mean I cast a spell?" She asked quietly. He nodded.
"No, I didn't..." She said. He raised an eyebrow.
"Sure?"
"Sure. I mean... I'm late too, what is the spell for then?" She asked a bit nervously.
He was thinking then.
Before he could say anything, the door suddenly opened.
"Miko-chi! Because of you I've been walking around in Shibusen all the time without knowing where I am, why did you leave meee?!" A girl asked.
Everyone turned to her.
She was a lot more smaller than Miko.
Her skin is quite pale, she looked like an ice princess.
...with black hair.
She wore short shorts and a torn outfit, everything was in black. It was in gothic style, I guess.
First I thought that they may be sisters but something told me that they weren't.
"I'm sorry, Phelina-chan, I actually lost you in the crowd." Miko said with a slight smile.
That Phelina looked a bit annoyed.
Then she looked at Stein.
"Oh, you are the second student who was supposed to be here but didn't come afterwards." Stein said.
Phelina nodded slowly.
"Well, you all sit down now. Phelina, you can sit next to your friend, Miko. Are you her... weapon?" He asked.
Phelina nodded again.
"Alright, now sit down." He sighed and continued with the lesson.
After school everyone from the gang went to Phelina.
Miko went to the restroom to make her hair again.
"Hey, you know that Miko is a witch... Don't you?" Liz asked.
Phelina rolled her eyes.
"She is HALF a witch and of course I know, dumbass." She said.
Now I know that she can get annoyed easily.
Then Miko came.
"Sorry for make you wait!" She smiled.
Phelina smiled back and we all walked for a while.
"Hey, but how's our teacher like?" Phelina suddenly asked.
I blinked.
"You mean Dr. Stein, don't you? Well, he's a professor who made our Mr. Sid become a zombie, he likes to dissect... creatures." I started.
Phelina just nodded.
"Well, his soul wavelengths are extremely big, he could handle Maka, Soul and Me and Tsubaki at the same time. And he likes dissecting people like Maka said, a lot." Black star explained.
Silence.
Suddenly Phelina's eyes began to shine.
"So cool...~ and he's handsome too!" She almost sqeaked and fangirled.
Everyones jaw dropped except Miko's.
She just sighed.
"Get used to that."
