"No Kid! You can't rearrange my room in alphabetical order!"I yelled. He wacked on the door and cried "What about colour order then...please Hotaru?!" I put my hands on my head and yelled "NO! Go away!" I heard him walk off down the hall, muttering bitterly. I let out a breath and sighed. I chucked on some clothes and looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a short thin fifteen year old girl that looked thirteen. I had a pair of skinny jeans on and a big jumper along with a gray beanie that I wore almost all the time. I guess I was quite pretty. I had big eyes that were like all Shinigami's, like me. My eyes were two different shades of yellow, ringing around my pupil. The outside ring is a bright yellow and the inner was like the colour of gold. My hair was wavy and flowed down to half way down my back. It was jet black and I, like Kid, also had the three lines of Sanzu, except on the opposite side of my head from him. I wore the necklace that I always did. It was a skull like my father's mask. It was small and silver and hung quite low.
I walked down the stairs to where Kid, Liz and Patty were eating their breakfast. I grabbed some toast and ate it hungrily. I asked "So? Today is your first day of school at Shibusen?" Kid nodded and said "Yes." I frowned and said "But it starts at seven-"I got no further. Kid collapsed on the floor and started ranting about how eight was symmetrical and seven wasn't. I rolled my eyes and said "I'll be at school. I need to talk to father." He nodded. I left the room almost growling. How dare father let Kid go to school! He said I wasn't allowed. He said I couldn't because I wasn't a meister, I was a weapon. But I knew how to fight on my own and how to survive on my own for weeks in different places, especially the forest. I had the same strengths as Kid but I didn't have extreme OCD. I had my own abilities.
Kid's skateboard had a name, mine didn't. I summoned it and hopped on. I rode to school through the streets rather than in the air. I got to the steps and dismissed my skateboard. I ran up and through school, luckily there was nobody in the hallways. I ran to the death room. My father was with his death scythe, spirit. Spirit is very perverted; I heard he divorced his wife last month. I bowed and said "Father, I have something to ask." He cocked his head to the side. I folded my arms and said "How come Kid gets to go to school?! But you don't let me?!" Father nodded and said "Because you are a lone weapon, you do not have a meister." I stamped my foot and yelled "So what?! I still want to come to school. It's boring staying at home or going on easy missions. You act like I'm weak." He shook his hands and head and said "No, I never said that." He sighed and gave up "Okay, you can go to school here. Go around with Kid." I frowned and said "Why?" He replied "Kid knows the school well." I rolled my eyes and said "I can just use my senrigan." It was an ability where I could see up to fifty metres in front of me, without actually moving. He nodded and said "Fine, let's see. Okay, you can be in Stein's classes." I nodded and hugged father "Thanks dad!" I cheered, before running out of the room again.
As soon as I got out a bell rang. I walked outside and found students huddled around somewhere. I pushed my way to the front of the crowed and what I saw made me sigh. It was Kid, Liz and Patty, fighting some small kid with blue hair and a scythe weapon with white hair. I frowned. I saw a teacher with a screw through his head? He had white hair and was wearing a stitched together lab coat. I could see that he had a cigarette in his mouth. He was sitting on one of those wheelie chairs, watching the fights. I asked him "What's happening?" He grinned and said "Black*Star picked a fight with the new Kid, he's a Shinigami." I nodded and said "I know, he's my brother." He looked up, he wore big round steel rimmed glasses, I guessed he was Stein. He said "I haven't seen you around Shibusen before?" I nodded and said "Yeah, I joined like ten minutes ago." He nodded and said "Does that mean you're a Shinigami, if you're his sister?" I nodded, he carried on "Are you a meister?" I shook my head and said "No, I'm a weapon, I was going to be Kid's but if he just used me it would be asymmetrical." Stein grinned. I walked out into the ring and yelled "You two stop now!" Black*Star laughed and ran at me. I grinned from under my beanie. I held out my hand. He ran into my force field, I was the only known weapon or meister to have that ability. He splattered onto it and fell to the floor. I then walked over to Kid. I small blade appeared on the end of my finger. I sliced it through the left side of his hair. I folded my arms and said "There, now your hair isn't symmetrical." He gasped, got a nosebleed and passed out. Black*Star got up and prepared to attack. I pointed to the floor, where Kid lay, and said "There, you win." He adopted a massive smiled and said "Of course I did! I'm Black*star! I'm going to surpass the Gods!" I nodded and said "Sure." I walked back into the audience and asked Stein "When do lessons start?" Stein looked at his watch and said "3...2...1..." A bell sounded. I smiled and nodded. I asked "What classroom are we in?" He thought for a moment before saying "Room 320, biology." I nodded and said "Thanks." He then asked "Do you want me to show you where it is?" I shook my head and said "No thanks."
I lifted my beanie a little before using my senrigan. My eyes glowed gold and my pupils went white and diamond shaped. I saw ahead of me. I needed to go through the front doors, take two lefts, then take the right flight of stairs going downward, carry on down the hallway and take the seventh door on the left. I blinked a few times while my vision returned to normal. Stein asked "What was that?" I grinned and said "Senrigan." before running off to the classroom.
When I got there I saw that Kid, Liz and Patty were already there. The room resembled a lecture hall. I went up and sat next to them. I said "Hi." He folded his arms and said moodily "You made my hair asymmetrical so I had to cut the other side of my hair." I folded my arms like him and said "You shouldn't go picking fights then. Ever since you became partners with Liz and Patty you have been fighting, they could use a break!" Liz sighed and said "Thanks." I nodded and smiled. Suddenly a load of students flooded the room, ready for their lesson. I saw a familiar face, Black*Star. With him was a taller, older girl with long black hair, the same scythe he was fighting with and a girl carrying a big pile of books. They walked up and sat with us. The girl with the longer hair smiled and said "Hi, I'm Tsubaki, what's your name?" I smiled and shook her hand "Hotaru." She smiled and said "You're new aren't you?" I nodded. She then asked "People have been saying two new Shinigami's have joined the school." I smiled and nodded. I took of my beanie and said "Yeah, that would be my brother and I." She gasped and said "You're a Shinigami?!"I nodded and smiled. I turned around. I saw the door swing open. A chair with Stein on rolled in at full speed. The chair fell over the frame of the door and he skidded into the room on the upturned chair. He smiled and stood up. He walked over to his desk and said "As you know we have two new students today. Both are Shinigami's. I would like them to come down here." I looked at Kid and nodded. We walked down the aisles until we got to the centre.
Stein looked calmly at us and said "We must give you a physical assessment." I nodded and said "Bring it on." Kid smirked. Stein said "Kid, come over here. Hotaru, you go down the hall until you get to the last room." I nodded and walked out of the door. I walked down the hall until I got to the right room. I heard a speaker. Stein's voice was projected through the room. "I hear you are a weapon without a meister, so we have provided some weapons for you. There will be holograms of people in the room that you have to kill. You can choose where you are." I nodded. I walked over to a panel. There were options for a desert, a river and...a forest! I picked that one straight away. Suddenly trees appeared all over the room. I walked over to one. I put a finger on it. It was solid?! I smiled and walked over to the table with weapons. There were big powerful weapons like axes and swords. I smiled as I laid my eyes on a bow and arrows. I picked up the bow and a handful of arrows.
I pressed the start button on the wall. I ran to a tree and climbed up easily. I stood on a branch and looked out at the area. I smiled as I saw a group of men. I shimmied along the branch until I was above one of the men. I hooked around it with my legs and lent down quietly. I put my hands on either side of his head and twisted sharply to the left, then the right. I let the dead body fall down to the floor. I climbed back to my level on the tree and grabbed my bow along with an arrow. I pulled back, aimed and let the arrow soar. I got a direct headshot. I grinned as the other guy spotted me up in the tree line. I jumped down and tossed my bow and arrow to the side. I grinned and slid under the guys legs, kicked his back, flooring him in an instant. A blade appeared on the end of my finger. I sat on his back and slit the side of his throat. He coughed up blood; fell limp, shook violently a few times before finally laying still. I heard footsteps. I jumped up and grabbed the end of a branch with my hands. I spotted a larger branch on the next tree. I swung forward and backward until I managed to hook onto the other branch with my feet. I let my grip loosen around the other branch. I let go and swung onto the branch.
I hauled myself up and sat on the branch. I heard Stein's voice "Okay, now this is the last person." I grinned. I saw the person walk into the middle of the open area. I dived silently at him. I transformed into my weapon form in mid air. By the time I did I was lodged into the guy's forehead. I transformed back to my human form and walked out of the forest and back to the classroom. I saw all eyes on me as I walked back to my seat. Stein then said "That was very good for a weapon without a meister." I nodded my thanks.
Next Kid left the room. Screens appeared on the wall so we could see what was going on. As I was watching Tsubaki said "Stein told me to tell you that you got a nine out of ten for skill and attack and a ten out of ten for stealth and defence," I smiled "He also told me to tell you who your new partners are." My eyes went wide. I turned around and face Tsubaki. I stuttered "I never had a partner before, who are my new partners?" Tsubaki carried on with a beaming smile on her face "Your new partners are Black*Star and I and Maka and Soul!" I smiled and said "But I work alone?" She nodded and said "You're going to be partners with us as a backup for me or Soul, so you only become Black*Star or Maka's weapon partner if something happens to me or soul or if Maka or Black*Star needs you." I smiled and said "Great!" I hugged her and said "Thanks." She hugged me back but said "What for?" I smiled and said "For being my friend." She nodded and said "No problem."
Next we had lunch. I went to go and have my meal with Tsubaki. After we had gotten out of the line with our meal Tsubaki furrowed her eyebrows and asked "I wonder where they are?" I smiled and said "I'll find them." I flicked my beanie up a little and used my senrigan. I saw where they were and said to Tsubaki "They're all sitting at a bench outside; it's the red one with that stain on the end." She nodded and said as we were walking "How did you do that?" I smiled and said "Senrigan, it's basically like being able to look around the entire place without actually moving at all." She smiled and said "Cool." I winked and said "I know." She laughed. We walked up to the bench where everyone was sitting. I slid on the end with Tsubaki and said "Hi everyone." The girl with pigtails and books said "Hi, I'm one of your new meisters, I'm Maka." I smiled and shook her hand "Hotaru." The white-haired boy turned around. I heard a 'splat'. He was on the floor and his nose was bleeding. I furrowed my eyebrows and asked "Um, are you okay?" He nodded slowly and muttered "P...pretty...g...gi...girl." I smiled and said "Thanks." I laughed as he nodded and got up back to his seat.
I looked around the yard. Everything looked normal. Except I saw a blonde-haired boy being kicked by some other kids. I pulled down my beanie and said to the others "I'll be back in a minute." They nodded. I walked over to where the boy was being pushed around. The two kids were easily twice the side of me, I was very short. I walked over to them and tapped them on the shoulders. I said sweetly "Would you kindly leave him alone?" One of them laughed and said "Wot you gonna do about it." I frowned and said "I'll make you." They laughed again. I jumped in front of the boy on the floor and said "You can get up, come on." I grabbed his elbow and pulled him up. "He brushed himself off and said "Thanks." I nodded and turned back around to the other two boys. One of them threw a fist. I grinned and caught it in mid air. I tutted and flipped him over my shoulder. The other guy gasped but then regained his senses. He ran at me. I held a hand out and laughed as he ran into the force field. I pushed the force field back, pushing him back with it. Both the boys were down. I brushed myself off and said "That's better." I walked back to the boy and said "Why were they doing that to you?" He rubbed his arm and said "Because I was late getting their food. I'm always pushed around because I'm not a good meister and I don't have a weapon. People make me get them stuff. This is my list." He held out a list. I grabbed it and said "I'll go get the stuff, you wait here." He shook his head and said "You wouldn't be quick enough." I smiled and said "Trust me, I will." He smiled and said "Thanks. My name's Hiro. What's yours?" I held out my hand for him to shake and said "Hotaru." His smiled slipped as he said "Wait. Are you one of the Shinigami's?" I nodded and said "Yeah," I pulled off my beanie "I'm a weapon that fights on my own so, yeah." He grinned and said "Thanks for that." I nodded and said "No problem." I then summoned my skate board and hopped on. I felt his eyes on my back until I left.
I skated through the skies as fast as I could and bought all the stuff from different shops all over Death City. I skated back and gave the bags back to Hiro. He smiled and said "Thanks." I nodded and said "No problem. But if anyone tried to mess with you again just tell them I'll kick their ass." He laughed and nodded. I walked back over to the table with my food and finished my meal. I put my stuff away and went to my next class. The rest of school went along fine. Kid, Liz, Patty and I skated home.
