Return of the Staff Meister

Chapter 1:

Miley's Worry:

Miley has a new rank?

Miley Summers was sitting in class. She was staring at her teacher's back while he was writing something on the blackboard. Her partner, a boy with light tan skin and medium brown skin elbowed her. His deep blue eyes staring at her with worry. "You seem to handle him mad at you better then last time." She turned to look at him. She had a smile on her face.

"He isn't mad, he handled it already. It doesn't matter now." She said. Her large green eyes showing the happiness she was really feeling. Miley's eyes always showed her true emotions. Something went flying by Miley's face causing her chestnut brown hair to move in the sudden breeze. She looked to see the scruple sticking in the wood.

"If you two, are done chatting, can we get back to class?" Both teens looked toward a teacher. He was a very pale man. He had a scar that ran diagonally across his face. He had familiar gleam over his glasses. Miley, wasn't really scared of him, Miley knew that Stein's appearance was all it really was an appearance. He was really just a big softy, she saw him as a father figure, which at first Miley thought he didn't take seriously till just recently. Stein showed he takes his position in Miley's life more then she had thought.

"Sorry, Professor." Both weapon and meister said. The class went off without a hitch after that. Miley never thought she would live such a normal day. To her felt strange, she wondered what price would she have to pay for this one day. She wondered what kind of news she was going to get. She could tell something bad was going to happen.

Miley felt like going to walk. She wondered around with no real destination. She knew would have to end eventually. She found herself down town. She was enjoying herself when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned to see a man. He was tall, pale and had red hair. He had even skin and a smile on his face. He was dressed in his usual black suit that she had seen him in. It was Death Scythe or Spirit as Stein called him.

She always felt awkward around this man. It had to due with the fact the first time she had really met him, she had taken him out with Mason. She never really apologized either, which she didn't like. Stein had told her that Spirit didn't even know what had happened, but in Miley's opinion that didn't excuse her behavior. It also didn't help that next time they met she had sent him to a fit of tears, about his daughter, Maka, who was also a good friend of Miley's.

"Stein's looking for you. He was heading over to your place." He said like it was no big deal. Miley wondered why he was looking for her. She couldn't think of any stupid stunts she had pulled.

"Thank you, Mr. Death Scythe." Miley said shyly.

"Drop that Death Scythe stuff will you? Just call me Spirit."

Miley nodded and walked away. She felt really strange. She hurried to find her professor. She found him, walking down the next street, everything seemed normal. Miley wondered how long will it would last. "I was told you where looking for me?" She said coming up behind him. He turned hardly surprised, his usual cigarette hanging unlit from his mouth. She watched him pull a lighter from his pocket.

"We need to talk. Don't worry you're not in trouble," He muttered though the cigarette. She looked at him, with her large curious eyes. She could ask a question with out words with those eyes. He hoped that they would never change. "Let's go to your place, Mason needs to hear this as well." Miley nodded, silently. They walked quickly down the road.

Soon they arrived at the small girl's apartment. Miley let them in. "Mason, can you come out, we have a visitor." Miley called out. It was the most talking she had done around him, expect class. It surprised Stein. She didn't even seem effected. He was glad. He had only done it because he had no other choice. "Come on, please don't tell me you're hiding, I'm the one who should be afraid of the man not you!" He watched the meister shake her head. "Really, how did you know it was, Stein."

He watched Miley disappear down a small hallway. She came back after a few seconds. "Sorry, about this, I'll just be a minute. Have a seat." He watched her shake her head when she went down the hall. He was strongly reminded of him and Marie. He had to stop himself from laughing. About five minutes later his students returned. He decided he shouldn't beat around the bush.

"I have two things to talk with you two. I guessing you rather have a bad news first." Both teens now sitting across from him nodded. He knew they thought it was something about witches, or deadly attacks, but it something mundane and it even to him seemed anti-climatic to tell them this. "As you're both aware the Academy has basic physical exams to make sure the students stay healthy. I hate to tell you think Miley, but you failed."

Miley's eyes widened. How could she fail? There was no way. She wasn't even aware that you could fail. "How?" Was all the young girl could say.

"Calm down, it's not that serious. You're just a few pounds under weight. Just take in a little more calories and maybe excise a little less and you should be fine. It can be explained, with you constantly going in and out of the Dispensary. It won't be long till your back to normal."

"So, what's the good news?" Mason asked, trying to change the subject.

"Miley's been brought up a rank and is now a two star Meister. Your the highest ranking in your class."

Miley stared at her Professor, she couldn't see how this was good news. It was just what she needed, another reason for her classmates to hate her. She wasn't sure if she should be happy or not. Then she realized, she now had more access to library now. She had a whole extra floor to read from. She wondered what school was going to be like the next day.

When they arrived it was clear, that Miley's rank hadn't be kept too quiet. She could hear people whispering and felt them staring at her. Soul and Maka met up with them in the hall. They shared a few words. Maka and Soul couldn't stay long, they were heading off to fight the witch they needed. Miley couldn't believe that there had been no attacks on her yet. It all changed when she got into class though, she felt the paper bounce off her head. It didn't bother her in the slightest.

"Look it's the teacher's pet, let me guess, because you have a death scythe you're better then we are right?"

"You said it not me," She shrugged, she was more worried about what Stein said about her weight then about her rank. That's all it really was a rank. To her the wasn't the biggest thing, she'd already missed that. She shook her head. She couldn't think like that. She sat down and waited to Stein to come crashing in, which about a minute later, he did.

He wrote something across the board in large letters. He called down three meister and weapon teams. "Today we're going to be learning about team resonance." Miley felt the pit of her stomach drop out. She couldn't do that! She wondered what was going to happen now, there was the bad news she was looking for...

Alright Chapter 1 is done! Tell me what you think! Can't wait to hear? What will Miley do? Find out next time.
