Hi! This is my first story for Soul Eater, so enjoy!

Prologue

I walked through the streets of Death City admiring the scenery I hadn't seen in about 10 years. I grew up in this city, but when stalkers came and began to follow me around, Lord Death ordered my family to go to a secret location under false identities. There my parents trained me to be a meister along with my dual weapons in their weapon forms. It was good to be back, even if I was seventeen now. I was hoping to see my child hood friend again. My family and I had left without an explanation. So after lots of begging they allowed me to choose my personal style so I could honor my friend. It was ironic; I chose to become a Goth, in or to remember the child of Lord Death himself. Death the Kid had been my best friend as a child, we did a lot together. Even a little bit of his symmetry obsession had worn off on me. I wasn't crazy like he was, but I'll admit that balance is beautiful. I enjoy it, but I don't let it rule my life, unlike Kid.

I bumped into someone while I was lost in my thoughts. I fell down on my butt and when I looked up to apologize I stopped. It was Kid, he didn't seem to recognize me though, that was good.

"I'm sorry sir; I wasn't looking where I was going." I said smiling. He held out his hand to help me up.

"It's okay; I should have been looking where I was going. You look like you're new here. Are you lost?"

"Um, yeah actually. I used to live here but I don't remember where everything is. Could you lead me to the DWMA?" I asked

"Sure, my Father is Lord Death. My names Death the Kid, by the way."

"It's nice to meet you, Kid." I said with a smile

"So why are you going to the DWMA? Are you a new student?"

"Actually no, I technically graduated. I'm going to teach an extracurricular class. I don't know all the details yet." I said following Kid as we started walking.

"You? A teacher? You don't look older than I am!" He said in shock.

"I'm seventeen; I'm turning eighteen in about a month." I said

"I'm turning eighteen next month to." I could see the DWMA

"Cool, would you mind also leading me to the Death Room?" I asked

"Sure, I've needing to talk to my father as well. By the way, what was your name?"

I stopped for a second. I was hoping he wouldn't ask. I went with the name I had taken on when I left. "Silver Nightshade at your service." I said smiling.

"Well Silver, I look forward to seeing what you have to teach." We walked the rest of the way to the Death Room in silence. He opened the door and held it open for me. I gave a small smile in thanks. We walked under the arches till we reached Lord Death. I gave a smile and a wave as he turned around to see who wished to speak to him.

"Well hello Ms. Nightshade, I hope you had a safe journey. I've been meaning to ask, would you like to attend the academy as well as you're after school class?"

"I don't see why not, it's not like I have anything else to do. I just want to know whether it's safe or not to come out of hiding."

"It should be, but even if people are still after you you're safe here. You can even stay with Kid. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. I'm sure you told him your fake name?"

"Yes, I wasn't sure if I should tell him or not. So I went on the safe side."

"That was a good decision, but it's safe here. You can tell him and everyone else who you really are."

"Okay, what the heck is going on here?" Kid asked looking between me and Lord Death. Lord Death gave a nod, and I let out all the emotions I had been holding since I ran into Kid. I tackled him to the ground in a hug. I let the tears I had been holding go.

"I missed you so much Kid…" I said

"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" he asked. I smiled and lifted up my head.

"I guess I have changed a lot, haven't I? Does the name Ruby Moonlight ring a bell?" I asked. His face went from one of confusion to one of pure shock.

"Ruby?" He asked. I gave a nod as I whipped my eyes. He pulled me into a hug with me on top of him. "I had no idea where you had gone. I was so worried…you just left without a single word…why did you leave?" he asked looking at me with a sad look.

"How about we go to your place, I'll explain everything there. Because I don't think you dad fancies me sitting on top of you for so long." I said laughing. Kid looked over to his dad and saw a few veins popping out. He blushed and I got off him.

"See you later, Dad." Kid said. Then he took my hand and we ran through the school. We passed a guy with blue hair.

"Who's the girl!" he yelled, I don't think Kid heard him though. When we reached the outside of the school he asked me something that I had wanted to hear.

"You want to ride Beelzebub like we did when we were little?" he said with a smirk

"Of course." He summoned the skateboard and he got on. He held out his hand and helped me on. We faced each other and he held me in a hug so I didn't fall off. The trip to his mansion was short and he led me to his room, he locked the door behind us. I gave him a questioning look.

"I don't want my weapons to interrupt." That reminded me.

"Give me one sec, I'll be right back." I went out the door and released my weapons. They gave an understanding nod and left. I walked back in, locking the door. He was sitting in the middle of his bed. I went and sat in front of him. "So I guess I need to explain why I left...me and my family had started be watched. We always had people following me, not the good kind. After my parents were killed by these people and they attempted to capture me, I was rescued by Lord Death, Professor Stein, and the Death Scythe Marie. That's when the Professor and Marie took me far away by the orders of Lord Death. They raised me, we were a happy family. They also taught me how to fight. I guess you could say I was home-schooled instead of going to the DWMA. We found a pair of weapons and we built up our soul links. Soon it was requested that my father and mother return to their duties. After that I went and lived with a musical family, until a new problem came up. Once I was at least slightly under control, I came back here where Lord Death said it would be safest. I still have people after me, they never stopped…but no one knows why…" I said trailing off. I looked down at my hands, a single tear rolling down my cheek.

"When I left, after some arguing, my father and mother said that I could change my style, even though I seemed too young to be a Goth. But when I told them it was so that I could, in a way, honor you. They let me have my way." I said finishing. Kid took my hands in his. I looked up.

"I will always be here for you Ruby, no matter what." He said. I took one of his hands and held it against me cheek.

"Do you remember the last time we saw each other?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes…"

"We both confessed to each other at the same time, saying that we had crushes on each other…then after we came down from the shock, you kissed my cheek. Before anything else could be said, I had been taken away to find out that my parents had been killed…" I said with a sad smile. I felt tears falling again.

"Do you want to know something?" he asked softly whipping away my tears.

"What?" I asked blushing slightly as he leaned forward to whisper in my ear.

"My feelings haven't changed…if anything, they've grown." He said softly, when he pulled back I felt his lips graze my cheek slightly. He looked into my eyes. "I tried to forget those feelings, but they never went away. No matter who I was with." I felt more tears begin to fall, but these ones were different.

"You know what? Mine never changed either, I tried to forget because I thought we would never see each other again, but I couldn't." He pulled me into a hug and rested his cheek against my head.

"I love you Ruby, even if you aren't fully symmetrical…" he said chuckling

"You know that rubbed off on me right? I'm not fully crazy about it like you are, but I like things to be symmetrical."

"Then why do you part your hair to the side?"

"Because I like it that way. And the same with the rest of what I have."

"Normal with people like you, I hate it. But on you it works, and you look beautiful." He pulled away and pushed me down onto the bed. "You are my one exception…" he whispered to me before he leaned down and captured my lips in a searing kiss. We were shortly interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Hey Kid! We're back! Can you open it up?" someone said. I heard Kid mumble something rather vulgar; he gave me another short kiss on the lips before standing up and going over to open the door. I could tell my cheeks were beat red. When Kid opened the door, two blond girls were standing there.

"We got the pizza like you asked after we finished shopping and-"the taller one stopped mid-sentence when she saw me. "Who is she?" the girl asked

"She's an old friend of mine; she'll be staying here for a while and possibly her weapons if she has any." He looked towards me.

"Um…yeah, two actually. They're little though."

"Why don't you go and find them while we work some things out." I gave a nod. I gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"I'll be back soon." Then I ran out of the house. We had gone over a park while on the way to Kid's place. I knew that's where they would be. When I got to the park, I saw them playing with two other small children I saw a guy about my age watching them. I walked over and introduced myself.

"Hi, I'm Ruby. Are those little kids your weapons?" I asked pointing to the kids in the overalls.

"Yeah, is the other pair yours? My names Kirikou Rung by the way."

"Yeah, what are their names?" I asked

"There's Thunder, she has a yellow cap, and Fire, he has the orange cap." Kirikou said. "What about yours?"

"Hawkeye is the little boy, while Riza is the little girl. They told me they were named after the anime character Riza Hawkeye from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood." When the group heard their names they rushed over to us, Fire and Thunder clinging to Kirikou and Riza and Hawkeye clinging to me. "Well I should be going; I've kept my friend waiting long enough. I might see you tomorrow though. Do you go to the DWMA?" I asked

"Yeah, are you a new student?" he asked

"I start tomorrow, I'm also the teacher of an after school class. Well I got to run, see you tomorrow!" I said taking off with the twins on my shoulders.

When I got back to the mansion, I found out I would be staying in Kid's room, while Riza and Hawkeye would be alternation between Patty and Liz's room. Liz let me barrow an over-sized shirt and short shorts to sleep in. Today had been a long day, but we still had more to go. Like every person at the DWMA I was going to wear the same outfit every day. But at the moment, it was time for dinner. Like Liz had said, they had pizza. Kid didn't even notice that the pizza wasn't cut symmetrically, but neither did I until latter. Everyone was talking. Riza and Hawkeye were playing with Liz and Patty; they seemed to be getting along well. They were even calling the Sisters their aunts as well as Kid their uncle. I was like their older sister. The arrangements changed when Liz and Patty said they both wanted to take care of them together. They moved some stuff around in Liz's room so that all four could stay together.

After everything had calmed down, Kid and I headed to his room. I grabbed some cloths and went to the bathroom. I changed in to a black spaghetti top and black and silver snow flake 'comfy' pajama pants. When I came back into Kid's room, he was already ready for bed.

"You can sleep on the bed if you want." He said

"Why don't we share? Then everyone's happy." He gave a tired nod and we both climbed into bed. "Good night, Kid."

"Good night, Ruby."
