"In a dark castle I held a tea party by myself, inside a birdcage, why don't you dance with me?"

"We've found her," Professor Franken Stein reported to Lord Death in the Death Room.

"Oh?" Lord Death inquired. "Where is she now?"

"In the dungeon," Stein replied. "We found her chained to the wall in the basement."

Whom they were speaking of was none other than Lord Death's daughter, Flander Scarlet Death. After she was born, Flander was kidnapped by her selfish and insane mother. They have been trying to find her ever since.

"How is she?" Lord Death pressed on.

"She's suffered some mental trauma. For now, she's violent and insane, but she's still, more or less, Flander Death."

"Good," Lord Death said. "Can I see her now?"

"Of course," Stein nodded. "She's your daughter; I'm sure if anything gets out of hand, you can handle it."

"Mirror, mirror… Who is the most mischievous of all? 'That would be you!' Reflects in my laugh. I am you, and you are a nuisance, I wonder who will be my next playmate…."

Flander Scarlet Death; Just Who Is Lord Death's daughter?

"You wanted to see me?" Kid asked as he walked into the Death Room. He paused and looked up, taking in the form of a newcomer. All was silent; the only things with any sense of animation within the room were the floating white clouds that drifted peacefully against the walls.

The little girl was younger than Kid based on her height and size. She had golden eyes and a plain, slightly ripped black and white dress. She was childishly holding a stuffed lion in front of her, which was odd, but the most striking quality of hers was her jet black hair with three stripes on the right side. Despite being so a-symmetrical that it made Kid want to die, she was adorable.

"Who's this?" Kid couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This is your sister, Flander Scarlet Death," Lord Death replied. "She'll be staying with you for a while."

"I have a sister?" Kid dropped his schoolbag in amazement. "Why didn't you ever tell me? Don't say that it never came up!"

"Flander, why don't you introduce yourself?" Lord Death acted as if he didn't hear Kid speak, which only annoyed Kid further.

"Hey, wait a—!"

Flander held up a stuffed lion. "This is Sakutaro," she said softly, grinning slightly.

He looked down at the stuffed toy Flander was introducing him to and smiled half-heartedly. In the corner of his eye, he swore he saw it blink at him. Kid had to mentally restrain himself from hugging her. Although she was a fascination, something about her unsettled him. She looked like a child off the cover of a horror film, which was probably to be expected from a Grim Reaper. She seemed distant and… only one word could come to mind; unstable.

"That's cute," Kid continued smiling, trying to make a good impression on her.

"He's my only friend." she added, stroking the edge of its mane with her fingertip. Her voice was high-pitched and happy.

"I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here," Kid reassured her, taking her hand.

"Take her home and make sure she behaves, I'll see you later," Lord Death said quickly, waving.

"A new member?" Maka asked as Dr. Stein was explaining the situation with Flander to them.

"Yes, she's not going to attend the academy," Stein continued. "She's much younger than any of you, so I don't want you to be mean, understand?"

The others nodded in confirmation. Honestly, they didn't understand at all. Who was going to be training with them, exactly? Maka had a strange feeling about the entire thing; it was as if something was being kept from them again. She tried to control her worrisome whims, reassuring herself that Kid would probably know tomorrow.

"I'm not sure about this," she gave in, telling the others about it five minutes later.

"Something's up again," Soul agreed. "I wonder want this girl will be like."

"I guess we'll find out tomorrow," Blackstar said eagerly.

"Hey," Soul barked. "Not cool. You heard what Stein said."

"Soul's right, you should hold back a little," Tsubaki agreed.

"Don't worry," Blackstar laughed. "I won't be too hard on her…. But I won't go too easy on her either."

"You're hopeless," Tsubaki sighed.

Soul Eater

"Liz, Patti, we're home," Kid called once he and Flander arrived at Gallows Mansion.

"Who's 'we'?" Liz asked, turning the corner with her sister in tow. They both paused when they saw the miniature gender bend of Kid hiding timidly behind her older brother. She gave a weak wave.

"She's so cute!" Patti chirped, jumping forward to give her an insanely tight hug. Despite not being able to breathe, Flander liked Patti and her hugs already.

"I didn't know you had a sister, Kid," Liz sounded amazed. "What's her name?"

"It's that obvious, is it?" Kid sighed, hanging his coat symmetrically in the closet.

"The stripes in your hair kind of give it away," Liz admitted. "So what's her name?"

"You're right," Kid said, sliding down the wall in a dark cloud of depression. "We're both a-symmetrical. We should just die."

"I don't know what you're so upset about," Liz said, glancing into the kitchen, where Flander was helping Patti make dinner. "She's actually kind of cute, and she makes you symmetrical. What's your problem with that?"

"I know, that's not what I'm worried about," Kid fretted, getting to his feet and turning to his weapon partner. "She's going to train in our group tomorrow. If Blackstar picks on her, then…."

"That won't happen," Liz insisted. "Blackstar may pick on people, but he won't do anything to intentionally hurt her. Besides, I'm the one who should be upset; I don't even know her name."

"If you care so much, it's Flander!" Kid was furious that Liz shrugged this problem off.

"Good," Liz praised. "Now, let's go help them make dinner."

"So, who is she really?" Kid asked Lord Death as he sat down for some tea.

"Just as I told you, Kid," Lord Death replied. "She's your sister, Flander."

"No, she's not!" Kid slammed his cup down on the table. He sighed, trying to calm himself. "Why haven't you told me about her before?"

Lord Death was hesitant. "She's been gone for a long time. I didn't think she'd ever return. I didn't want you to worry about her."

"Where was she?" Kid asked.

"With your mother."

"My mother?" Kid narrowed his eyes.

"Stein and Spirit found Flander chained in the basement of Scarlet Death Mansion. Her mother trapped her down there for several years. Flander killed her a few months ago in an attempt to escape."

"That's a little extreme, but it was understandable," Kid said, sipping at his tea. Now that he was getting some answers…. "You want me to take care of her now. Is there anything else I should know?"

"You need to be careful, Kid," Lord Death cautioned. "Flander has suffered severe mental trauma from what she's endured in that house."

"What kind of trauma?" Kid asked warily.

"Stein speculates different forms of abuse, mental and… otherwise. I want you to be on your guard. I doubt she'll harm you or your partners with how close you've gotten, but she could just be happy to see other human beings. She could grow bored of you, or angry, or upset, and kill you all like she killed a previous death scythe that tried to rescue her."

"What happened?" Kid leaned forward uneasily.

"I don't know yet," Lord Death admitted seriously. "Just be careful, okay?"

Kid wanted to press on, but thought better of it. With a glance at the clock, he realized how late it had gotten.

"I should go," he said, getting to his feet. "Flander's expecting me."

"One more thing, Kid," Lord Death said quietly. Kid half-turned. "Don't get too attached to her yet."

"Of course," Kid nodded.

"I'm such a liar," he thought bitterly, internally stabbing himself. But still, how was it possible not to absolutely love her already? Kid wanted to keep her safe forever, no matter how A-symmetrical she was.

When he got home, he found Liz, Patti, and Flander all sleeping in Liz's room. Kid smiled warmly and draped a blanket over them before going to his own room. Tomorrow, they would begin training. After gaining support from his friends, Kid was sure he'd be able to handle Flander.

This was originally written as a cute fanfiction, but I decided to make a Psychotic edition to violence-it-up a bit. If you are here from my original, I warn you of the gore and disturbing elements about to be introduced. Please read on, and I will upload as soon as I can.

PLEASE NOTE: I know I'm taking a lot of elements from Touhou Project. I bought the game Ten Desires, but that's about it. I don't really know that much about Touhou or my distant-observing favorite "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil." I'm not making this a crossover, but if you have any tips and pointers about Touhou for me, please Message me or leave a review.

REVIEW, MINIONS, REVIEW!
