A/N There is a link on my profile that goes to a Pinterest Board with anime characters that I had in mind for them! Feel free to check it out!
Sitting in the dining room of the manor, I frowned. We were waiting on Kid to finish up whatever the hell his symmetry problem was today. I usually tried to indulge his tendencies after years of attempting to fix him. I got annoyed with all the fighting and gave up. Now, I'd give anything to get him to hurry the hell up.
My weapons were playing a card game to pass the time. Yuki's blonde hair stuck out around his face like it always did and his signature scarf draped around his neck. Sora had his brown hair simply straight. His longer bangs flopped as he laughed. These two were cousins. Whatever they were playing, Yuki was concentrating so hard on his next move that he was giving me a headache. Sora would let him win this time. He always throws a game every now and then to make Yuki feel better about his awful poker face.
"What's with the serious attitude, Hikari?" Yuki asked placing his cards on the table.
"Just thinking," I replied, frustrated with all this waiting. Frustrated with agreeing to go at all.
Sora folded, but I caught a glimpse of his hand, a winning deal. Yuki took the little bit of money they bet, grinning like a child. He counted it and Sora turned to me. "Come on. You know we can feel all that frustration and anxiousness."
"I just want to get going, that's all." I stood up to go wait outside. I didn't miss the concerned look between the two. Deciding to ignore it, I left to go out to the front gate and watch the people on the street.
I didn't understand why Kid was so adamant about going to the DWMA. It's not like we needed the training. We were grim reapers. Our abilities surpassed any student, and probably any teachers, there at the school. He'd wanted to, though, and asked me to come along. The bastard went behind my back and talked to Sora and Yuki first. It was one giant guilt trip.
"If you don't want to go, you know Yuki and I will support your decision," Sora came up beside me. He stared ahead at the busy street. Kids were running wild and street vendors tried to sell useless junk.
I sighed. "No. I'm going. I still don't see any point, but I'll go, for Kid."
Sora smiled with a nod and slipped his hands into his pockets. A comfortable silence took over. One of the best things about him was that he knew when I didn't need some kind of pep talk. My discontent was apparent but we trust each other. He supported whatever I chose, he made it clear, and that was that.
"We're three hours late, Kid," Liz complained from behind us. She looked irritated. Kid simply shrugged and start lecturing about symmetry, and Patti was telling Yuki about something she did last night.
The walk to the DWMA was long and consisted mostly of Patti's overly enthusiastic stories. I liked her and Liz. As far as weapons go, they're amazing and how over a year, the amount their wavelengths had grown into sync with Kid's was more than impressive. Yuki and Sora had been with me for almost five years now, and our wavelengths were in perfect soul resonance.
"Would you look at us now. Raised on the streets, but here we are, students at the academy. We've come a long way, huh Patti?" Liz spoke as we neared the top of the staircase to the academy.
"Yeah, it's gonna be freaking awesome!" Patti squealed.
"Not to mention, you're two of the top weapons here and it's only your first day," Yuki said. He smiled, happy that the two Thompson sisters were doing great now. They came in a little rough and used to be extremely mean to these two. I could hold my own against them.
"Have you ever seen such a beautiful building? My father's school is magnificent! Perfectly balanced, perfectly symmetrical," Kid said, looking up at the school in awe.
I rolled my eyes. "Only because he's a little OCD about it. Guess we know where it started. Though, you must have been dropped to get this out of whack," I half smiled and received a glare from Kid and a chuckle from everyone else.
"Hey, are you the new kids we've been hearing so much about?" Someone asked when we reached the top.
I looked back at Death City, bored by the conversation. Kid had a meltdown about the number seven. It wasn't until Liz mentioned a boy that stood up on one of the taller pieces of the building that I paid attention. It broke and he fell. This can't be good.
"You're a disgusting pig. Are you really so eager to risk your soul that you'll pick a fight with grim reapers? Liz, Patti, weapon forms," Kid said. It was never going to be fair fight. Just Kid alone could destroy them, but he wouldn't. He'd hold back his true power.
"If you want a fight, let's do it. Come on, Soul," Blackstar said.
"You're the one who's looking for a fight, Blackstar, not me. I'll play along, but I'm warning you, new kids, if we do this, you'll lose," Soul said. He walked toward me.
"Sorry boys. I'm not in the mood," I said and walked past them with Yuki and Sora.
"Ha! Is the little girl scared? You should be!" Blackstar shouted at me and laughed loudly.
What an idiot.
I looked over at him. "Beat my brother and then we'll fight." Leaning back against the wall, I flipped my black hair over my shoulder.
"Cocky weapon and meister, don't you think?" Sora asked from beside me.
Yuki had crouched down, frowning. "Dammit. I wish we'd get to fight."
He liked to fight. It was one of his favorite thing to do and he picked fights a lot to make us be in a situation where I had to use them to fight.
"They're stupid if they really believe they can beat Kid. It would have been a ridiculously unfair fight for us to fight too. Besides, I'm not in the mood to show off." I watched Kid fire and Soul and Blackstar try to avoid being shot.
Most likely, Kid would indulge the fight for a while, just to see their strength and learn a little. In the end, he would win. Grim Reapers have incredible power and we never use it unless we have to. This fight was already over.
