On a normal tuesday morning Liz and Patty would wake up to find Kid already awake and eating breakfast, dressed and showered and essentially ready to leave for school. Why the hell Kid was not in the house, and why he left his room a mess and his phone on the nightstand this tuesday morning, the sisters had no idea. Kid does not stray from routine. He just doesn't.
And no one's seen him either. Not even Lord Death, who almost always knows where his son is, which is why Liz, Patty, Soul, Maka, Black Star, and Tsubaki are walking around the balconies of the second school floor before school starts.
"Maybe he'll show up for class," Maka suggested after half an hour of no one seeing him.
"Maybe who will will show up for class?"
Everyone jumped and looked up to see a lanky figure sitting in the corner of a third floor windowsill with their back leaning against the frame and one leg dangling in the air.
"Who's asking?" Black Star challenged.
"No one of consequence ," the person replied, "I was just making conversation. That is what new students are supposed to do, right?"
They sounded more sarcastic than actually questioning.
"New student huh?" Black Star grinned.
"I don't remember hearing anything about a new student..." Tsubaki warned, but he wasn't listening.
The clouds moved to uncover the sun, and the person in the window now had far less shade to hide in.
They wore black jeans with a black top that had lace half sleeves, and some sort of combat style boots. Their hair went to the nape of their neck, and was parted to the side with the bangs held back by white bobby pins. Their eyes glittered with two shades of gold.
"What are you doing here so early before class?" Soul asked, yawning.
"The same thing should be asked of you."
"We're looking for Death the Kid."
"Well that's a weird name to give a child." The person remarked.
"Well what's your name then?" Blackstar asked.
"Akira."
"What are you?"
"A weapon."
"What kind?"
"Depends."
The three pairs looked at the person on the window ledge in surprise.
"What do you mean 'depends'?" Soul asked.
"I'm a multi-form."
"Does this run in your family?" asked Tsubaki, who was probably the most surprised out of the six of them.
"I don't know, maybe."
"What do you mean, maybe?"
Akira shrugged and jumped down from the ledge.
"Anyway, nice meeting you guys, good luck finding your friend," they called over their shoulder, waving casually as they walked away.
"Hey! Wait!" BlackStar yelled, running after them after they rounded the corner, "You didn't answer Tsubaki's question!"
When he got to the corridor, Akira was gone.
