I'm Here To Figure Out Something

Finding my way to this city was not easy. Especially not on this damn hover board my friend, Scott, built me. He was a super genius, but sometimes I was just used as a geniue pig to tests his inventions. Though never mind about him. Right now I had to focus on why I was here. I don't even really know why am here exactly myself.

Being in Death City sure was different from my home, Darklight. Even though everyone may not have been normal, it sure as hell didn't give off this sort of feeling. I was hovering over the city looking for that school my uncle told me about.

My long black hair flowed through the air, my golden eyes tearing up from the wind in my face, and my light tan skin burning from being in the sun too long. I was wearing a white dress shirt, black blazer, red tie with blue stripes, a skirt that was navy, along with some worn out hi-tops I had, and my star pendent necklace. I didn't think wearing a uniform while barely getting there was so mandatory. They have so many uniform choices too. Better this one than that sailor outfit.

As I looked out through this city, I noticed there were some people chasing each other. Though the person they were chasing seemed almost crazy. Weird, I wonder if those are those people Uncle was talking about. Meisters and weapons, is what I think they're called.

As I flew, I noticed a huge building coming closer to me. It had skulls for it's main entrance with some huge candles sticking out. "That must be the Academy…" I slowly landed myself right at the top of the stairs. There wasn't anyone around to see me. I felt a little relived to see that. I kicked my board up while placing it into my backpack.

I walked into the building making my way towards the room I think I'd probably regret going to. Death's office. "Why…why would he make me come all the way here just to talk with Death. I now the power waves are getting out of control, but to talk to death about actually attending this school is a little over the top!" I must have sounded like a crazy person as I talked to myself.

There was the door right in front of me. I opened it to see it was a long walk as there were some sharp blades hanging from these pillars. I took in some deep breaths while walking down this path. Thing is, half way through as I saw the end I felt terrified. There was the sound of something dropping behind me.

I slowly turned to see the blades all dropping at a very fast speed. I stood there like an idiot for one second until I ran for it. Luckily for me, I wasn't just any other human walking towards death. Well, I am half.

Once I reached the end I noticed that the blades behind me immediately went back up as if that never happened. I knew my eyebrow was twitching now. "W-what the hell?"

"You're quite the fast one, huh? Ha-ha," I turned back to see death was laughing at me. Huh, never thought I'd say that. I quickly stood up straight while looking up to him. He was amazingly tall and seemed just like how Uncle described him. Though somehow he was a little less scary than I thought.

"Death, I'm Sammy Rose. My Uncle sent me here." He nodded his head as he patted my back. I fell over while now sitting over on the ground.

"Ha-ha, yes! I remember! What a Meister he was and great friend. Now, to talk about what you're here for." I nodded my head while standing back up. "You're going to be enrolled as a student here, but whether you're going to be a Meister or a weapon is still a thought. So as of right now that's undecided."

"Ah, what about a partner?" He laughed a little while nodding again.

"Again, don't worry about it. Right now I'll get one of my best students to watch over you, but may I ask you something?" I felt a lump in my throat.

"S-sure."

"In your situation, you can be your own weapon, so that would mean that you would have to control yourself. Do you think you can handle that?" That's when I felt my heart hard against my chest. I nodded my head slowly while gripping at my necklace.

"That's why I have this. It keeps control of that." He seemed pleased with my answer, but yet not really. Though before I could speak up again, a voice spoke up from behind me.

"You summoned me, Lord Death?" I turned around to see a girl that was around me age. She had blonde hair that was tied into two pigtails, green peppermint eyes, and pale skin. She wore a white dress shirt, black blazer that was more like a cape, white gloves, a plaid skirt, a tie that was what seemed gold with green stripes, and some boots with white buckles. When she saw me she seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, Maka! I asked you to come here because I want you to show around Sammy here. She's new." She walked over to me while handing out her hand.

"Maka Albarn, nice to meet you." I gladly took it.

"Sammy Rose," though that's when Death said something I wasn't expecting him to say.

"Oh, and Maka. She's going to be your second weapon!" That's when we both stopped moving our hands as we slowly turned towards him. Maka seemed just as shocked as I was.

"W-what?" I let go of her hand as her grip started to get harder. I think she was just shocked.

"I thought you said..." I was confused at this point.

"Yes, you heard right. Now, for Sam here you don't need to get 99 souls and 1 witch to make her a real weapon. She's just as strong as your father if she focuses. She gets powerful within time." Maka looked at him in disbelief. Oh no. I don't have a good feeling about this.

Though if I remember correctly, Uncle said to me that the weapon and their Meister need to have the same soul wavelength. I wonder if I can even do such a thing. "So you're saying I have another weapon that could possibly be stronger than Soul?" Death nodded his head while already having a sweat drop. "Soul's not going to like this, but okay. Though the soul wavelength," Death stopped her.

"That's something you don't have to worry about. She's not that kind of weapon either; she's the kind you just order around. Like a loyal dog, but don't worry. Soul is still your weapon. She's just in need of some training." She nodded her head while staring at me. Is it too early to say that I think she hates me?

After Maka and Death spoke for while, Maka and I finally made our way out of there. We just walked in some awkward silence. I placed my hands behind my head while we she had hers behind her back. I decided to speak up. "Um, Maka I'm sorry for all of this."

She shook her head. "It's nothing. I don't mind actually. To think that you're actually stronger than Soul…than my father…is surprising." I looked towards her. She was gazing up as we already at the exit of the building.

"So, you're partner's not gonna mind this?" She shook her head.

"Ha, Soul'll understand. It's not like I'm replacing him. Though can I ask you something," I nodded my head as I held the door open for her, "Just what kind of weapon are you?" I stopped right there in front of the door. I scratched my cheek while trying to find the right words.

"Ah, you see that's sort of hard to explain. It's a lot easier showing you than telling you. The only thing I can really tell you is, I'm half human." Her eyes widened as she stared at me again. "Staring again Maka." She shook her head while looking out towards the city.

"S-sorry, like I said surprising." I understood what she meant. Though I don't know why this always happens, but someone appeared out of nowhere screaming. I wasn't even able to see whomever that was talking.

"I am the great Black Star! I hear there's someone here who's new and probably doesn't know about me!" I felt a little annoyed after hearing that voice scream. I looked over to Maka to see she was having the same expression as me.

"Um, Maka who was that?" She shook her head while making her way towards the stairs. I got out my board while following her.

"No one, just keep walking." I shrugged while placing my board on the floor. I was about to tell Maka about my board, but someone came up in front of me, literally jumped out of nowhere.

A boy with light blue spiky hair, tan skin, and a very big grin as his clothes made him seem like some sort of ninja. "Huh, you don't seem like much of a threat," I felt a twinge of anger, "I'm Black Star." I just meekly replied him by saying my name.

"Sammy Rose…" He then walked around me as he scanned me from head to toe. He laughed a bit as a girl came up next to him. She was tall as her black hair was in a high ponytail; brown eyes filled with worry, skin just like snow. She wore the same kind of clothes as him, like that of a ninja.

"B-Black Star, please leave her alone." He shook his head while staring at my star pendent. He seemed very serious once he saw that.

"Where's that from?" I grabbed at my pendent while looking at him.

"It helps keeps my power in. I guess you could say it's like a seal." He seemed interested in this now.

"Are you a weapon?" I walked over next to Maka not liking the feeling I was getting from him. Maka patted my shoulder while looking at Black Star.

"Yes, she's mine." Black Star's and the woman's with him eyes widened. I even felt a little surprised. I think I blushed a bit too. W-why and the hell am I blushing?

"What? You have another weapon," she nodded her head while standing in front of me, "Hey Maka…how about a quick spar?" I felt my heart beat get quicker. The blood in me rising as the thought of a fight being with someone else other than my Uncle, made me excited, but I knew I couldn't do it.

Maka looked back towards me to look for approval. I couldn't from the words. She looked back towards Black Star. "Sorry, come on Sam. Let's go." Maka got on my board with me. She must have figured it could fly. I nodded while getting in the air. As we slowly started to leave I looked back towards Black Star.

"Maybe next time!" He got a huge smile one his face while waving good-bye to me. The woman next to him did the same. I knew that wasn't the last I was going to see of them, but somehow I felt like I was going to befriend them.

I looked to the side of me to see Maka holding onto me. She seemed amazed to see the city from up here. "Maka?"

"Yeah?"

"Why'd you say no?" I could feel her shrug.

"You didn't seem like you were up for it and I've never even practiced with you." I felt my heart hard against my chest again.

As I made my way towards Maka's apartment, I felt like things were just going to get worse from here. The fact that she accepted me as her partner and weapon, then when she said no to that fight, she's a good person. Honestly, I hope I never have to use my full strength in a fight.
