"Ren! Misty, hurry up, we're gonna be late!" Jack yelled after her friends. Jack - born Jaquelin - wasn't big on being late, she preffered being hours early and just being early by thrity minutes sent her off the edge.

Misty showed up first, dressed in her normal loose fitting tank top, jeans that hung dangerously low and brown leather sandals. Her hair was a complete mess, not that it bothered her, it kept people away from her and she preffered staying away from people, except Jack and Ren that is.

Misty was Jacks weapon but it seemed she lead Jack most of the time. Ren, born Rennea, was neither weapon or meister, she instead held a special ability that Lord Death considered worthy enough to enroll her as a student, and as a weapon at that.

"She'll be a while." Misty muttered as she hunched her back into her normal poster. If it wasn't for the hair color and the eyes, people thought Misty and Soul were related. Misty alwasy had her back hunched, moving like a member of the living dead you'd see in a movie. It was when she stood fully erect that people shrink away. Misty toward at a staggering 6 feet 8 inches while Jack was a meesly 5 foot 6. Ren was the shortest of them all, she was 5 foot 2 inches but made up for it in pure power.

"Ren, we will leave without you!" Jack yelled, stomping to the door. Born in the south Jack could be very kind, especially to guests, but if she was blocked from her daily plans she could unleash a wrath so powerful Lord Death himself might cringe at the sight.

When Ren finally did emerge, she was dressed in her usual ripped up skinny jeans, wife beater top and black hoodie with bear ears. "I'm ready! Sorry, my eye-liner was acting up today..." Ren explained. Jack sighed, she herself never wore any make up and MIsty only used mascara.

"Is Dr. Stein gonna dissect something else today?" Ren asked as they climbed the stairs to the DWMA.

"He prob'bly will, Sugar." Jack said, her thich souther accent making her words heavy but kind.

"I don't like ti when he does...especially last week when he dissected that dog..."

"Sug'r, the dog was very sick and he put it out of his mis'ry" Jack explained. Misty had past them already thanks to her legs which took her three steps at a time. "Remember Boomer? Would you rather he'd a suffered?" Boomer was Jacks old farm dog who had been hit my a car. The car ran over his spine, paralizing him from the stomach down. The vets said he was in pain and Jack made the choice to put him down. Ren had wept for days after that.

"It's still not right..." Ren said softly.

The three girls took their seats near the middle of the room as Sid pulled up a diagram on the over-head projector. "Soul, did you get the notes from yesterday?" Mister mumbled over the desk. Soul looked up at her with the same sleepy eyes as always.

"Yeah, here." Soul said, passing them up to her.

"Misty, Soul, what are you doing?" Sid snapped at them.

"Soul was helping me ith my notes because I failed to pay attention to your astounding teaching lessons, sir." Misty mumbled, even though to Sid it sounded like she was just making muffled noises.

"Speak up next time when you talk." Sid growled before turning back to the board. Misty was busy already copying Souls notes. She saw Soul as more of a little brother than a possible boyfriend, and Soul felt the same with her.

"Mist, close yer eyes, ya'lls distracting me." Jack whispered. Misty sighed and complied. Her eyes were always glowing like black lights, illuminating whatever was in front of her. She was a hit at the cities yearly Halloween party, all she did was sit in some dark bushes and open her eyes every few minutes to scare the children with their other-wordly glow.

"Keep 'em open, it's kinda cool." Soul whispered with a chuckle. Misty chuckled lowly, thow it came out raspy and rumbly.

Ren leaned her head down and yawned from he rlack of sleep the night before. She was out on Lord Deaths Orders to patrol the city, as she did every other night. She was regreting showing him her ability.

Behind them, Liz was painting her fingernails and Patty was staring off into space giggling. Between them sat Kid, staring down at the three girls. Symmetry was dear to him but her couldn't stop looking at the three infront of him. No pairing of them could create a symmetrical pair. Misty's hair was ong and unrully, Rens short and bobbed, Jacks medium length and in a pony tail. Misty tall and slender, Jack medium height and strongly built while Ren was short and skinny. No matter how he put them together he couldn't make them symmetrical and it drove him crazy.

"How's it going witht he souls?" Misty muttered to Soul.

"Got 76 so far, you?"

"63, you going on the Australian trip?"

"I hear there's plenty of kishins down there." Soul said, grabbing the soda fromt he machine. "Aren't you gonna eat?" Soul asked, seeing she hadn't grabbed any lunch.

"Ate a kishin egg last night, some fat rapist/murderer dude, soul fricken made me sick." Misty explained, rubbing her stomach.

"Ugh, I hate those kind too, their just to slimy." He agreed as they walked through the cafateria. During lunch Misty and Soul hung out, talking about whatever, Jack sat with Maka and Ren sat with Liz.

Soul grabbed a seat by the window and Misty slid into the seat across from him. The seat made her sit awkwardly. The table was too low from her legs which stuck upward like a parent in a pre-schoolers chair, causing her to sit sideways and lean against the window.

"At least we're not as bad as Black*Star." Soul commented.

"Yeah, I feel sorry for Tsubaki...she tries so hard..." Misty mumbled.

"Not her fault, Black*Star means well, but he can't really help who he is." Soul said, and as if to punctuate his point Black*Star screamed across the lunch room how big a star he was. Misty sighed and shook her head. "How are you and Jack doing?"

"Same, she finds the kishins and I kill them...then eat them..."

"How did you two even meet? You never told me."

"Good question. Iw as living in Chicago, she was living on some farm in the south, never really asked where. One day I got tired of life and just started walking...walked for days and days until I came across her farm...there was a kishin there...it killed her mother and ate her soul right in fornt of Jack...I ran to help and that's when we found we could syncronize out souls...killed the thing and I ate its soul..." Misty explained. Soul was happy he always leaned on the table, becasue if he hadn't he wouldn't have really heard her talking.

"Damn...I didn't know it was that bad..." Soul said, sitting up, eyes widening slightly.

"You wouldn't know it by looking at her..."

"And Ren?"

"She's pretty normal, except when her parents found out about her they sent her to an institution...she broke out a week later and roamed the country for a whole year before she came here..." Misty said softly. "I never told you any of that?"

"No, you never really told me anything about your guys' lives...you normally just talk about what's going on right now..."

Misty shrugged and looked out the window.
