Yo! Juli tenshi here with another story : P yes, I still am working on my VK fanfic...I kinda lost the file with chapter two though ^^'
Anyways! I should probably give a little background check before the story.
It takes place towards the beginning of the Soul Eater series, around episode 11 or so.
Some of the events do not follow the original story. Why you ask? Because that's the way it was written. It'd be boring if I wrote all of the events the same way.
Okay! Now for disclaimer! I do not own Soul Eater or any of the characters. I won't be cliche' for once and do that 'If I Did' stuff -.-
But I do own Koori, Amira, and Gabriel. My best friend, Shai, owns her own character Shai. If you steal them I will...steal your face or something.
Everyone waits for something to happen before taking action. Nobody listens to the insane, when perhaps, some truth may lie in their words. Nobody bothers to pray for those wrongly convicted or for those who had died because of those wrongful convictions.
There is so much wrong with the world today. So many cheaters and liars.
So much madness.
Everything that surrounds you is mad in its own way.
For now, these words may seem meaningless...Boring even. I thought so too. When my father told me these words, I never listened, only questioned. That's why, I've made so many terrible choices in my past.
And I can never turn back.
My face was red and I was short of breath, having somehow completed the dangerous feat of running all the way up the steps to the Death Weapon Meister Academy. I mean seriously! Who freaking walks that far up the steps to go to school? No! I am not exaggerating. I mean I've fought Kishin more exhausting! Aside from that, when I got to the top, I did a little victory dance in my head. My partner, Amira was right behind me. She was laughing at me, for she was more agile. And so much more of an asshole.
"I can't believe you're tired just from that, Koori!" she laughed. I felt the corner of my eye twitch.
"...I'm gonna make you tired in a second." I muttered, attempting to be a lot tougher then I really was at the time. Honestly, I was no threat. I stood at the outstanding Godzilla-like height of 5' and weighed maybe 95 pounds, most of that being muscle of course. I had large eyes, the color of dark orchids (...the color isn't pink. Its orchid I tell you!) and black hair that went to my shoulders. The scariest thing about me was the skulls on my jacket...which originally belonged to my dad anyways. I suppose it still did, since he said he'd be back for it, but at this point, I could figure it was mine.
My partner, Amira, on the other hand was probably one of the scariest people on the campus at that moment. She had hair white as a sheet and icy blue eyes with dark rings around them. Her face was always either in a malicious smirk or a scowl. Even her weapon form was scary. At first, she starts out like a staff, that resembles a giant lollipop for easier and more convenient travel (Which wasn't really helping my 'not scary' thing whenever I carried her around.) But after she let her blades out was the scary part. She was a scythe with a long crescent blade on one end, so that it looked like a black moon attached to a stick. A very deadly stick. Not to say that she was a bad friend. On the contrary, she was a great one; just...scary.
Oh yeah, I totally matched her, when it came to being scary. Completely.
As I looked around, I noticed two people running towards us. I warned Amira to be nice and put on a smile, walking over to them. One of them, a girl was very pretty. She was short, like me, and had long black hair and golden eyes. Her apparent friend, or partner I figured, was a lot taller with wavy black hair and light brown eyes. He wasn't too bad looking himself.
The girl was the first to speak, a smile on her face, "You must be the newbies, I'm Shai. This idiot over here is Gabriel." Gabriel simply gave a look of annoyance and tried to ignore her comment.
"Its nice to meet you." I smiled back cheerily, "I'm Koori, and this is my partner, Amira."
Amira just smirked, "...Yo." I could feel her already creating an uncomfortable atmosphere, not just for everyone around, but for all of Shibusen. I let out a sigh. This was her version of 'being nice.'
"I'm sorry to cut this meeting short," I started, "But we have a meeting with the big boss man or whatever around here.." I started, then thought for a moment, "Would you like to come with us?"
"Sure?" Shai blinked.
I nodded and grabbed Amira's hand, dragging her away as Shai and Gabriel followed, "So why are you just starting out now?" Shai asked out of nowhere.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean, just starting school here?"
"Oh! That. We transferred." I stated bluntly.
Shai looked a little confused, "Transferred from where?"
"...'Home School'" I muttered. That's not really what it was. It was more of a 'train on your own' sort of deal. For some reason the big guy up here in Shibusen, Lord Death something or rather, had Amira and I moving all over the place. We started our journey in our home place, Italy and from there moved to places like Germany, India, Africa, China. They would always arrange for us to stay some place and send us out on random missions. For some reason, my mother would agree and drop in from time to time. My father had disappeared on us years ago, so it made no difference. It makes no sense, I know. That's just how the deal was. But finally, we were told we could come to DWMA and stay at a place semi-permanently for once. I might have even been able to make friends other then Amira.
We made our way towards what they called the 'Death Room' (which didn't sound creepy. Not at all) and talked about little things. I felt myself growing more excited as we spoke. I was getting along with actual people! ...Boy I sound kind of like a freak when I put it that way. I mean, its one thing to get excited about making friends, but...
When we finally made it to the (Cue dramatic horror movie music) Death Room, Shai and Gabriel stayed a little bit back. "Lord Death." I gave a mini bow and a smile to the least scary looking shinigami on the planet, although I didn't really bother to mention that.
"Hi! Hi! Don't be so formal!" he said in a friendly tone, much to my surprise. Of course I'd end up in a school where even the shinigami sound absolutely ridiculous. I simply smiled and nodded, standing up straight. As I looked around, I noticed another person in the room. A not particularly terrible looking young man with black hair with three white streaks on the left side of his head and yellow eyes. He was barely paying attention, somehow placing each hair together with a pair of tweasers. I twitched, "...What is he doing?"
Instead of Lord Death himself replying like I intended, the boy replied. "I'm fixing my hair to make sure it's perfect."
"Perfect for what?"
"So that its symmetrical."
"...I see." Well this guy totally wasn't weird. Actually, thinking about it, he looked very clean, well taylored. I just slowly inched away from the spot I was standing in until I was sufficiently far away.
Lord Death laughed, "Sorry, that's my son, Death the Kid." he said as 'Death the Kid' finally finished his grooming session and walked out.
I raised an eyebrow, "Creative name. Really." there was no response, so I continued, "So what did you need me for?"
"Oh, yes." and then he went on with some long boring speech that I won't bore you with, for the pain was unbearable enough just hearing it one time. Just some things about the school, how to get around, welcome, yadda yadda and all of that fun stuff.
Afterwards, I headed towards my new classroom, which was coincidentally with Shai and Gabriel and a few other people I had seen, but not spoken to yet. And much to my surprise (and soon to be demise) the only two spots open -one that Amira was running towards, the one furthest away from him- were seats next to 'Death the Kid.'
Well, class wasn't too bad, except for the fact that he took seriously the entire time just to write his name on a single sheet of paper. I mean seriously! I spent half the time watching him try to write the 'E' in 'Death.' It didn't really help that some annoying guy with blue hair, whose name I learned was Black Star, would lean over every so often and erase a letter, then Kid would have to start all over again. It was like watching an extremely repetitive movie. Lucky me, that my only choices were between watching this charade and actually listening to class. Amira was 'unavailable' because my oh so wonderful friend was actually paying attention, just because she knew it would annoy me.
So of course I would be absolutely delighted when school ended. We went out towards the front and waited for Shai and Gabriel, who said Amira and I could come over after school. They waved us over and we began heading back on an extremely familiar route. We made it to shai's house when I realized that we had adjacent apartments.
Shai smiled, "That's great! Now you can come over any time!" I nodded, still in shock, not able to say anything.
Amira rolled her eyes, "I hope you like horror movies then."
"I love horror movies!" shai exclaimed.
"I think I like this chick." Amira smirked as we went into the house. "Shai, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship." she smirked. Gabriel just shook his head at Amira's words. Obviously, he figured out just how scary she was.
Okay! Terrible place to leave off, but I ran out of stuff to do. Next chapter has a lot more fun and stuff and it's tons longer.
Till next time~
