"I'm falling, through my shadows."

She flew through the lock like it was no problem, then, wrapping her bare arms around me, her warmth of her nude body pressed against me made me feel like I was saved, when actually we were both saving ourselves from insanity. She even ignored the vines following after her, the insanity trying to curl itself around us.

She was slipping, and slipping.

But I was her partner.

Whoever she was.

Sitting up quickly, I pressed my hand to my head, looking around to see if any crusty blood was curled against my arms like every other morning, but finding nothing, I stood up walking towards the living room, looking around the house. I yawned slightly, being tired and ignored that it was morning. I had to eat something, but school was in an hour, so I should rush, Kid and Black*Star must be waiting for me after all.

Walking to school, I looked around, the girl's staring at the three of us. Tsubaki, Patty and Liz were already in class, since they wait for us a lot. Entering the classroom was noisier than Blair meowing, and to remind myself, how did I end up with a cat in the first place? I sat down, leaning against my desk as I placed my feet on the desk, staring up, and shutting my eyes just to relax.

"Hey Soul," I heard Black*Star, "did you hear about the new girl coming to our school? Turns out she's a top student kid."

I shrugged, usually I don't care about kids coming to our school, since they ended up famous for the first week, and then their coolness ran out. Unlike me, I'm super cool. Better than Black*Star- or so I say.

Class began, and was paused in the middle of a lesson, Ms. Marie didn't mind, as she always enjoyed a small break, and that's when I noticed, a girl walking into the class. I stared at her, dirty blonde hair in pigtails on either side of her head, small figure, and emerald green eyes, she wore a classic uniform, unlike me I wear the cool stuff.

"Class, please pause and welcome Maka Albarn," Ms. Marie smiled, "she'll be joining us, as you may already know her father."

I coughed, almost choking. This girl must be bad news if she's related to Spirit, very bad news. He was one of the supply teachers, but hung around with the principle Death a lot, who turned out to be Kid's father.

The new girl just smiled and waved slightly, a bunch of people starting to crowd around her while she sat down at her new desk, back of the classroom. Pfft, I never got to sit in the back.. So why her? I thought, looking back at my papers, nothing on it, like always, I was a failure in these subjects, only good thing I'm at is Basketball, and Gym, or P.E., whatever you may call it?

I walked out of the class, heading towards my locker to place my stuff away. I should see if the piano is being currently used.. although it isn't something I enjoy, maybe just a little try? See what it's like.

I walked to it, seeing that it wasn't used, I sat down on the wooden bench, playing my pale fingers against the keys, pressing down on one, I listened to the flat note, noticing I didn't know what to play, then I gently moved my fingers across, attempting to create my own sound of masterpiece, which was quite hard to admit, since I had no inspiration.

(Maka's P.O.V)

I was new, who could blame me? I didn't plan on going to this school, but my mom wanted to move to a new place, and I didn't want to go, so I was stuck with my dad. Everyone was crowded around me, and I felt really strange about it, since I wasn't use to being a new person.

Humming slightly, I walked down the halls.

I'm falling,

down into my shadow

Grasping onto every breath,

As I await the Deadly night.

That's when I heard something wonderful, the sound of a piano vibrating through my ears. Turning to the door where I heard the sound, I peeked in, seeing a pale boy, spiky white hair. That's when I knew who he was, someone everyone talked about in my class, the famous guy, Soul Evans.

His playing stopped, shit.. I thought, he must have noticed me..

"You play wonderfully…" I muttered, noticing I was probably flushed by the thought.

He smirked wide enough so I could see his sharp teeth, "thanks." he replied, standing up and walking past me, then stopping.

"You're Maka, huh?"
