Chapter 1: Death the Cutie's first day of school, Kid has a sister?

***Meanwhile at the DWMA***

Kid slumped over in his chair and put his head on the desk.

(Patty) "Hey kid, what's wrong?"

(Liz) "Let me guess, your paintings were off by two centimeters."

(Kid) "My sister enrolled, she starts tomorrow."

(Soul) "Kid, I didn't know you had a sister!"

(Liz and Patty) "We didn't either!"

(BlackStar) "Oh great another Shinigami coming to steal my spotlight! I'll have to give her the speech I gave you, Kid. HAHAHAHA!"

(Kid) "You know that she's a Shinigami too right? She could beat you up in a second."

(Maka) "Wait, why are you upset, shouldn't you be glad that your sister is enrolling?"

(Kid) "No! You don't understand! She HATES symmetry!"

(Everyone) "Oooooh"

(Tsubaki) "Well, Kid, what's her name?"

(Kid) "Her name is Death the Cutie, but she prefers to be called, C."

(Maka) "I can't wait to meet her!"

:Death the Cutie's POV:

***Shinigami's house***

Great, one day left until I have to go to my dad's academy. What was Kid thinking? Volunteering to sign up for classes. Because of him, dad's making me enroll too.

At least I have a basic idea of what everyone's like. Based on what Kid has told me,
Maka Albarn is a know-it-all bookworm.
Soul Evans is the dude who thinks he's all that.
BlackStar, ?.
Tsubaki is the spineless one.
And Crona, the anti-social weirdo that "can't deal with this".

Sounds like a lot of fun, not.

***The Next Day***
:Maka's POV:

I saw Kid walk into the classroom with a girl that looked just like him. She walked beside two boys that looked very similar to Liz and Patty. It was kind of scary. They were even wearing red shirts and the same kind of hats that Liz and Patty always wore. Her hair was a bit longer than her shoulders and her lips were colored with a slick shade of black. She had bangs that were swept to the right and I could see three white stripes on one side. She wore a black long sleeved suit that flared out at her arms, a black skirt, regular shoes and knee high socks. I used my soul perception to look at her soul, it was pretty obvious that she was Shinigami-sama's daughter.

:Death the Cutie's POV:

I walked into the classroom with Kid, who was lecturing to me about how my hair was asymmetrical. Which was ironic since we both have sanzu lines on our hair.

All of a sudden I see this dude walk up to me and get a nosebleed. Then this blonde chick comes and hits him with a book. Hm, I like her style.

(Soul) "What the hell Maka?! That hurt really bad!"

(Maka) "It's her first day Soul, stop acting like an idiot! Don't mind him, I'm Maka!"

The bookworm? And the guy who thinks he's all that? I must be bad at reading people.

(C) "I'm Death the Cutie, but you can call me C. These are my two weapon partners, Todd & Cody"

(Todd) "Hiiiiii!"

(Cody) "Nice to meet you."

Cody took Maka's hand and gently kissed it. Uhg, he is such a womanizer. I saw her blush as she reluctantly pulled her hand away. No one else noticed but she wiped her hand off on her shirt.

(Maka) *Looks towards Kid* "Kid I thought you said your sister hated symmetry. Why does she have two weapon partners?"

What? I don't hate symmetry. I nudged Kid on the shoulder.

(C) "I don't hate symmetry you liar! I'm just not as obsessive as you are, that's all"

Kid looked at me with a sad look, then I sighed and nudged his other shoulder. He may be annoying, but he's also my brother, and I love him. I smiled and he went to his seat.

(Maka) "So tell me C, what kind of things do you like?"

(C) "I don't know, I like poetry. It's much more calming than constantly stressing over aesthetics."

She giggled when I said poetry, then she opened her book up. I looked at the title of it, I think it said "Death Note" but I'm not sure. She grabbed a slip of paper from the book and handed it to me. I felt shivers when I touched it.

(Maka) "It's a poem, read it!"

I started reading. The poem was really depressing, I started to wish that I hadn't been born. About half way through the poem I looked up at her, she was just giggling. Did a person like that really write this poem? I finished reading it, feeling really depressed.

(C) "Wow, that was, um, interesting. Your very creative?"

At this point she started bursting into laughter. I was confused (and needless to say, depressed) She laughed for, like, five minutes, then she finally said,

(Maka) "I didn't write that poem, my friend Crona did."

Oh the anti-social freak, that makes much more sense. After she calmed down she asked me something.

(Maka) "Kid seemed pretty upset when he found out that you were joining the DWMA. Do you guys fight a lot?"

(C) "Well yeah, but brothers and sisters fight all the time. We always mess with each other. I used to get a kick out of watching Kid freak out over symmetry. One time I tilted one of his paintings to the right when he was on a mission. I think he was at the Pyramid of Anubis or something like that. He got so paranoid that he actually came home to check on it, but I fixed right before he saw. When he found out that I did it, he ripped up eight of my poems."

(Maka) "Really? That doesn't seem like something Kid would do."

(C) "Well he didn't rip them up, he cut them into symmetrical pieces."

(Maka) "I meant the fact that he would mess with your poems, you didnt mind?"

(C) "They're just pieces of paper with writing on them, it's not like they're that special to me. It may seem like we fight a lot but we love each other. Once in a while I'll get him something symmetrical, and he'll try to write me a poem. I say try because he never finishes his poems; his penmanship has to be perfect, but he's never satisfied. I appreciate the effort though. We have a really strange way of showing that we love each other."

Maka smiled at me and I smiled back. Maybe attending my dad's academy wasn't such a bad thing. A few moments later, I saw this kid with blue hair start jumping on the teacher's desk. Maybe I spoke too soon.

(BlackStar) "NYAHAHAHA! IT IS I THE AMAZING BLACKSTAR! ANOTHER SHINIGAMI ISN'T ENOUGH TO TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT OFF OF ME!"

Another Shinigami? He must be talking about me.

(Maka) "There he goes again, don't mind him, C."

(Tsubaki) "Umm BlackStar, maybe you should stop doing that now."

She must be Tsubaki, the spineless one.

(BlackStar) "WHY SHOULD I? I AM THE AMAZING BLACKSTAR! I SHALL SURPASS GOD!"

(Tsubaki) "I really think you should st-"

(BlackStar) "HAHAHAHAAA!"

(Tsubaki) *Throws ninja star* "Will you just shut up already?"

Hmm maybe this Tsubaki girl isn't as spineless as I thought. Yep, I'm REALLY bad at reading people. Then she walked over to me.

(Tsubaki) "Sorry about him, he's always like this."

These people are crazy, but then again there's nothing normal about a school that teaches kids how to fight Kishins. Todd started to tug on my sleeve.

(Todd) "Hey Cutie, can we sit down now?"

I don't like it when people call me Cutie, but I have to admit, it is pretty cute when Todd says it.

(C) "Sure Todd, why don't you pick our seats."

He ran over to Kid's twin partners and sat next to the short one (I'm pretty sure her name was Patty and the other one's Liz). Cody and I followed him. Cody sat next to Kid's other partner and I just sat by them. Stein was teaching. I always thought of him as an uncle. My eyes were wondering around the room, when I noticed this person sitting in the corner. I'm guessing it's the anti-social one, but so far my judgments have been wrong. I took a closer look. Is that a boy or a girl? Well, is Crona a girl's name or a guy's name? I can't tell. He/she doesn't have boobs but Maka doesn't either He/she is wearing a dress and he/she has pinkish hair, that's feminine right? But I've seen he/she spend a lot of time around Maka, so Crona could be a boy, unless he/she is a lesbian. Or maybe they're just good friends. I heard somewhere that when something is gender less it is assumed to be a boy. I leaned over toward Maka.

(C) "Hey is that person over there a boy or a girl?"

(Maka) "None of us really know, but I remember him telling me that he didn't know how to deal with girls. I guess I just assumed he was a boy."

Well I guess that's enough proof for me, considering the fact that I haven't met him before.

Class was REALLY boring. Todd was talk about giraffes with Patty. Cody was flirting with Liz, go figure. When class was over I was ready to go home. The people here are pretty interesting. I guess I was quick to judge. I grabbed my stuff and started walking toward the door.

(BlackStar) "Where do you think you're going, new kid?"

Where the hell did he come from? I swear, no one was in front of me when I was walking.

(C) "I don't know about you, freak, but I'm going home."

(BlackStar) "I don't think so! You're not leaving without fighting me first!"

Is this guy for real? It's my first day and he wants to greet me with a fight, what an idiot.

(C) "Yeah, how about no. I was actually planning to enjoy my time at home, not fight with you."

I tried to walk past him but he just stood in my way.

(BlackStar) "Oh I get it, the little girl doesn't want to get her skirt dirty, I see how it is."

LITTLE GIRL?! I hope he knows I could crack his skull open with a single Shinigami chop. Kid probably would have done it a long time ago, but using one hand to chop someone would mess up his "balance".

(C) "Ok, I'll play your little game. Let's take this outside, and don't cry when you get beat up by a little girl."

(BlackStar) "Don't worry I don't plan on loosing."

(Maka) "BlackStar, you can't fight, C. She's a girl!"

(Kid) "She'll be fine, Maka. C is the best when it comes to fighting."

***Outside of the DWMA***

(C) "Let's go, Professor Stein, you spectate the fight!"

(Stein) "Very well, but BlackStar, didn't you learn your lesson the first time you challenged a Shinigami?"

(Soul) "Yeah dude, you do remember the first time we fought Kid right?"

(BlackStar) "Don't be ridiculous, of course I do. I'm stronger now and I'm definitely not going to be beat by a little girl."

(C) "STOP CALLING ME THAT YOU PUNK! Are you really so eager to risk your soul that you'll pick a fight with a Shinigami?"

(Patty) "Hey Kid isn't that the same thing that you said to BlackStar?"

(Kid) "Hm it was, wasn't it?"

(Todd) "Hey Cutie, should we transform?"

(C) "No, this is personal."

(BlackStar) "A one on one fight? I like the sound of that, are you ready?"

(C) "I was ready ever since you called me a little girl."

(BlackStar) "No holding back, let's do this."

He charged at my right, but I jumped to the side. I looked at my watch, then I pinned him to the ground. Too easy.

(C) "Hmmm, seven seconds flat, not bad."

It actually took eight seconds but the look on Kid's face was priceless.

(C) "Well, I'm going home now. Bye!"

(Maka) "Wow, that was really impressive."

(C) "Hm? Oh it was nothing. I'm a Shinigami after all."

(BlackStar) "M-maybe you could've held back a little..."

(Kid) "I never thought I'd hear you say that BlackStar."

Everyone laughed, except for Tsubaki, but I could tell she was holding back a grin.

(C) "You're the one that said 'No holding back.' and you were stupid enough to insult me. Be glad that there wont be another Shinigami joining this school."

***Shinigami's House***

(Liz) "So C, why have we never met before?"

(Patty) "Yeah, if you've been living here with Kid, why haven't we seen you before? Are you some kind of ninja? That would be so cool!"

Honestly I didn't have any interest in meeting the "Thompson Sisters". I didn't feel like meeting any of them, but I guess I would've had to interact with people some time. And I did, but on the secret missions that Dad would send me on. I guess it was about time I talked with people in my age group.

(C) "No, I just never bother to leave my room."

(Kid) "Yeah it's the room that I always tell you two to stay away from."

(Patty) "Really?"

(Liz) "I always thought that you were secretly unorganized and you kept all your junk in there. I never thought you were hiding a person."

(C) "Kid? Unorganized? Yeah right!"

(Patty) "Well can we see your room then?"

(C) "Huh? Um, sure. I don't see why not."

(Patty) "Yay! Let's go!"

(Kid) "I think I'll just stay here."

Kid has seen my room before, I personally don't think it's messy, but all he sees is an asymmetrical room. When we got to my room I opened the door.

(C) "Well, here it is."

:Liz's POV:

I could see why Kid didn't want to come. Her room wasn't the messiest place in the world, but there were some crumpled pieces of paper laying around on the floor and random items scattered around the room. I was expecting a perfectly symmetrical room, like Kid's, but it was just an average room. Well, what you would expect from a Shinigami, at least. Her walls were painted black and she hung some poems up. I didn't bother to read them, I was never into that kind of stuff.

:Patty's POV:

Her. Room. Was. AWESOME!

:Death the Cutie's POV:

(Patty) "Your room is awesome!"

(Liz) "You say that about everyone's room."

(C) "Well thanks anyway. No one really comes to my room, but I guess no one really comes here in the first place."

We went back to where Kid was.

(Liz) "So, C, even if we haven't seen you before, why haven't we seen Todd and Cody before?"

Todd and Cody? I completely forgot that they were standing there.

(C) "Um, I actually don't know. You guys seem to disappear at random times of the day. Why haven't you introduced yourselves to anyone before?"

They just gave me the same mischievous smirk they always wear.

(Todd) "We like to have fun too you know."

(Cody) "A lot happens in Death City after dark."

(Todd) "The city is much more exciting."

:Liz's POV:
They were right. Before Kid came to us, me and Patty used to go out after dark. It was like a whole new place. People acted differently, you wouldn't see kids running around and playing. It wasn't a place for kids. That was when we were alone. Our mother had abandoned us. She was the sluttiest whore in the city, but she did give birth to two pretty girls, so I have to thank her for that. People were scared of us. We could take whatever we wanted to. But that was the old us. I could only imagine what Todd and Cody do after dark.

:Death the Cutie's POV:

Those two were always acting vague. I could never tell what was on their minds. It seemed like they were constantly hiding something. They didn't need anyone else. They barely ever talk to me about what they were up to. That's what I liked about them. They kept me guessing.

(C) "Whatever, you guys get bored WAY too easily."

(Patty) "Um, Kid? Why don't you ever talk about your sister?"

That topic caught my attention.

(C) "Yeah, Kid, why don't you talk about me?"

I said that with exaggerated enthusiasm. I couldn't care less about why he didn't talk about me.

(Kid) "It's never come up, and wouldn't it be a random topic to talk about in the first place?"

(Liz) "Well it just seems like something that we all should know about by now."

(Kid) "It's not like you guys have ever asked me if I had a sister or anything."

(C) "Aw come on, now your just making excuses."

I walked over to him and gave him a hug. He would never say it, but he doesn't like hugs. Well, he doesn't like MY hugs. I like to tease him and mess with his hair a little bit. He pushed me away and immediately started to fix his hair. I laughed, but afterwards I handed him my comb.

(C) "Well, I think it's about time to go to bed. Good night Todd, Co..."

They ran off and I didn't even notice. I never paid attention to them anyway.

(C) *sigh* "Well goodnight to you two."

(Patty) "Niiiiiiight!"

(Liz) "It was nice meeting you, C."
