BlueMuse97: Annoyingly, the summary thingy isn't long enough so here is a more detailed edition of the summary: a new team of meisters and weapons enrol at the DWMA. But sooner or later, they begin to think that this new team aren't doing what they're meant to.

AND PLEASE NOTE THAT:

BlueMuse97: The characters might be Maka and Death the Kid but there is NO MakaxKid, I know there are fans out there who don't like that particular pairing but rather MakaxSoul, Black*StarxTsubaki and KidxOC. Also Crona is a girl in this story so there is no confusion. The story is based on the anime after they defeat the Kishin at the end. Now time for the disclaimer :(

BlueMuse97: I don't own Soul Eater…

Two Similar Boys, Very Different Lifestyles

Chapter 1

Just a friendly game of basketball

Death City, Nevada, USA, home of the famous Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA for short) and the Grim Reaper, Shinigami, of course. The Grim Reaper stood in front of his mirror, sighing. He was still trying to get used to watching his mirror without his son, Death the Kid, after he had decided to stop accompanying his father so he and his weapons could attend the Academy themselves. Shinigami, Death Scythe and Stein were all standing there in silence, waiting the arrival of someone very important, according to Shinigami anyway.

"What a shame," Shinigami was saying, "Kid can't be here to see them."

"Do you think he would want to?" Spirit (Death Scythe to those who haven't yet picked up his actual first name) asked, "He hasn't seen him for a while and I'm not sure what their reactions would be."

Why would he be visiting?" Stein asked.

"To annoy Kid," Shinigami replied. "He has this hatred with symmetry, which I'm afraid won't go well with Kid."

"What won't go well with Kid?" The three of them turned round to see a young boy and identical twins. He smiled. "Long time no see."

"You too, you too," Shinigami said as Spirit's and Stein's jaws dropped. The look of the boy seemed rather similar.

"Soul, hurry up," Maka moaned, tugging at her partner. "We're supposed to meet up with the others for basketball. You love playing it."

"Some bloody cat we home kept me up all fucking night," Soul complained, failing to hide a yawn.

"Oh bloody hell, Soul. You need to learn to ignore Blair. She just bosses you around plus she knows you're not very good at ignoring her."

"Yeh what…" Soul suddenly stopped, realising that Maka was talking about wanting to play basketball. "Hang on, since when were you into basketball?"

"You know what Black*Star's like. You promised him that you would play and he'd get irritated if you didn't turn up. If we do play, there would be more players on the teams." They arrived at the court barely minutes later. "Hey everyone," Maka called out, everyone turned and smiled.

"Look who's arrived," Black*Star jeered. He walked towards Soul and fist pumped him. (A/N: you know what I mean, when you bump each other.)

"Maka took her time," Soul replied, shoving a pointing finger over his shoulder.

"Eh? It was you who fucking overslept," Maka cried as everyone laughed.

"So who's playing with who?" Soul asked his blue haired friend.

"Me and you are still captains," Black*Star explained. "Your team has Kid, Patty, Kilik, Kim, Harvar. My team has Maka, Tsubaki, Liz, Ox, Jacqueline."

"Pretty fair," Maka said, walking over to Black*Star, "let's play with punishments for the losing team."

"Good idea. If Soul's team loses, we move the pictures in Kid's house 5cm to the right," Black*Star said as the young Shinigami moaned. Black*Star continued though. "If my team loses, Maka has to spend a day with her papa."

"WHAT?" Maka shouted as Soul said, "Fine by me."

"Ready?" Black*Star asked, Maka on his left, Tsubaki on his right, the others behind him.

"As always," Soul replied, leaning forward, hands in jacket pockets with Kid on his left, Kilik on his right, the others behind him.

Black*Star picked the ball up and passed it to Soul who caught it. He then returned the ball to Black*Star so the game could begin.

Black*Star passed to Maka who had run forward. She caught it before having to work her round Kilik who was blocking her way. She tried to pass back to Ox who was intercepted by Kid who begun dribbling forward. Soul ran up with him, ready to catch but it seemed like there was no point. Kid managed to dodge everyone on the opposite team, ran a bit backwards and jumped, aiming the ball at the hoop. He threw it and landed it neatly in the hoop. 3-0 to Soul's team.

"Great goal, Kid," Soul said, giving him a high ten.

"Thanks mate," Kid replied, smiling.

"Oh, shit," Black*Star moaned, as Tsubaki patted him on the back.

"Come on, it's only just started," she said. "Doesn't mean we can't turn this back."

Black*Star raised his fist. "You're right, Tsubaki. We need to turn this game around. I can't wait to see Kid's face about those pictures!"

The game restarted with Black*Star carefully passing to Jacqueline who dribbled it forward. She passed it to Ox who gave the ball to Maka who began dribbling towards the goal. Kilik tried his hardest to get the ball out of Maka's grasp but she wouldn't let go. She aimed and landed it in the goal. 3-3.

"NOOO!" Harvar cried.

"Bingo!" Black*Star shouted. "What a goal, Maka!"

Soul had the ball ready to restart. He passed it to Kid who began dribbling. But Maka caught the ball out of his hands and began dribbling in the opposite direction. She was seriously on a roll as she scored again. 6-3.

Soul stood in the middle, with the ball. On the whistle, he passed to Patty who passed to Kim. She began dribbling but was intercepted by Liz who passed to Black*Star. He began dribbling forward with Kid on his tail but Black*Star knew he could outrun him. Which he did and scored his first set of points. 9-3. Soul was already beginning to feel the pressure.

"We can fucking do this!" He cried to his team.

"We need to," Kid replied, "or I can't face my sodding walls at home."

"You're just weird," Soul said so quietly that only he could hear it.

This time, Kid stood in the middle and passed to Harvar who dribbled forward. Kid kept up, giving back-up, so di Soul. Harvar aimed a high pass to Soul to get it over everyone's head and he caught it. He dribbled forward and passed to Kid who bounced it once, aimed and scored his second set of points. 9-6.

Maka stood in the middle, passed to Black*Star who actually failed to catch and the ball bounced out of the court paintings. The whistle blew. Final score: Black*Star-9, Soul-6.

"Yes!" Black*Star shouted as he hugged Maka. "We won!"

"Yahoo!" She shouted, then let it turn into a sneer. "This should be entertaining," she added, looking over at Kid who was on his knees, banging the floor with his fists and complaining.

"There, there, Kid," Liz said, patting him on the back. She then lowered her voice, "you can always out them back."

"Ok then." Everyone turned. A boy stood in the opening of the court, about their age. His hair seemed white but with three black stripes on the left side of his hair. His eyes were blue with a circle of dark blue on the inner part of his eye and a lighter shade of the same colour on the outer. His clothes were a simple t-shirt and jeans. A couple of very identical twins stood either side of him. Their clothes, brown hair and green eyes matching each other.

"You never change," he said, looking at Kid. Everyone stared at Kid.

Kid got up, faced the boy and frowned. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Came to see," he replied.

Kid stared. Everyone else stared at Kid, then the other boy, then back to Kid. Who was this other boy? Why is his hair colouring the opposite of Kid's? And how does Kid know him?

BlueMuse97: Sooo…chapter 1 draws to a close… Hope you enjoyed it! If anyone's confused, you know the colouring of Death the Kid's hair? The OC has his hair in the opposite colouring to Kid's. Don't forget to read and review!
