I do not own soul eater. I'm the proud owner of Miley and Mason.

Life as a Staff Meister

Chapter 1:

A New Year:

A simple year for Miley?

Miley Summers sat the breakfast table munching on a bowl of cereal. Miley was barely four feet six inches. She had soft chestnut brown hair and light green eyes. Her eyes where one of things that Miley noticed able. The green of her eyes will be the lightest green you will ever seen. She couldn't hide her real emotions her eyes always gave her away. She was a staff meister the first in a thousand years. Miley herself wasn't aware how special she was. Her partner Mason came into the room. He looked very amused by something.

"What's so funny?" She asked as she looked up from her breakfast.

Mason was about five feet three inches. He had only be a head taller than her when they first met but now he towered over her. He had grown last three inches in less than a month. He had soft brown hair a few shades darker than Miley's. His eyes where as blue as the sky. He was very soft spoken and shy. "Guess who's class where in this year." He laughed.

"No way, how did we get stuck with him two years in a row. It's punishment for last year I bet you." She said swirling her spoon around her almost empty bowl.

"Or he asked for us. You know your one of his favorites." Mason teased.

"He doesn't pick favorites, I told you that thousand times. How many more will I have to say it.'"

The man they where talking about was Professor Franken Stein. He was tall, pale, and had scars all over his body. Miley had found out it was all self infected. The strangest thing about him was the screw sticking out of his head. He was their home room teacher the year before. Miley's soul is different from most meisters. She can only bond with one weapon in her life. That would happen to be Mason. Stein had worked hard to keep Miley up with the rest of the class. He was partly responsible for Miley finding her partner. He allowed her to go with him and his partner Marie Mjolnir to France where she had met Mason.

Across town Stein was staring at his class list. How did he get them two years in a row. He knew they where bad kids but, he needed a break from last year. He knew Lord Death has his reasons for doing what he did but Stein often wondered if his reason what to make him go mad well more mad then he already was. He wasn't really sure if he could have Miley in his class after last year.

What happen last year was an old enemy of Steins had come back. He had gone after her and he was almost killed. Miley came to the rescue just a few weeks near the end of her first year at the Academy. She and her weapon had barely together for eight months when the fight happen. Miley had risked it all to win. That wasn't what bother Stein it was the fact Miley saw in a fatherly kind of way. Stein had never really know what to think. He kept this to himself not even telling Marie. Who he would admit he told everything.

As it did every year, morning on the first came of school came to early for everyone. Well everyone but Miley. She couldn't wait to get back to school. She knew she was nerd and always would be. She hurried up the steps leaving a blurred eyed Mason behind. She looked up at the school she was so happy to be back. She tilted her head and stepped back so she could see the top. She bumped into some one. She turned around to see Stein.

"Sorry, I need to watch where I'm going." Miley all of a sudden turned shy. She had been comfortable around him the year before, Stein had wondered what had changed. Maybe Miley was back to the way she was, she was different before she had met Mason. Maybe now that she had a partner she didn't have to be so outgoing.

The rest of the day passed by in blur, Miley wondered if why she was acting so funny. It was even strange to her and she was the one doing it. She needed to be alone, last year she was nothing but now she wanted to be alone with her own thoughts. Maybe things would make sense if she just went though all the pieces of things that she hadn't put together yet. At the end of the day she told Mason to go on ahead her. Muttered some excuse that wasn't really believable.

She stood on the wall and let the wind blow around. She always like the feel of the wind. It gave her the effect that she was flying. She closed her eyes. She could stand there for hours. A few minutes went by when she heard someone call to her.

"Your really don't gone home ever do you." Miley turned and looked at her professor. Stein noticed the confusion in her eyes. Now he knew what was bothering her. Or he thought he did. There was one thing Miley wanted in life. Something every child wants to make a parent proud. Miley didn't have parents. Her's where killed by witches when the refused to give up protected information. Stein often wondered if the price that Miley had to pay was to high. She often tried to do things on her own instead of asking for help. A very good example was when Miley went looking for the Holy Sword Excalibur she not only did she get burnt but because she hadn't told anyone Stein slapped her across the face for being stupid. "You know they would be proud, any parent would be. Not many can say they took on a witch and won at your age."

"Are you should, I would think with everything I did there would have been some sort of consequences. I mean if it was your child and they did what I did, and I mean everything that I did how would you feel?"

"Well, I think I'd been more worried than angry. I mean, you took a lot of risks that day but you did what you had to do. Miley, you seem upset what's the matter."

"I want to know who killed my parents. I want an actual name. I think I'm old enough to know now aren't I?" He put hand on her small shoulder.

"Miley, we don't have a name. If we did we could have taken her down years ago. Your parents is still opening. It's just going no where at the moment."

Miley sighed. He was trying to comfort her. He usually knew what to say. She always got this away around the beginning of the school year. It didn't matter what school. In a month there would be parents day, Miley wouldn't bother showing up. She had no parents for the teachers to talk to. "I know its just hard. No matter how hard I try I can't put in out of my mind. So your not mad?"

Stein was a not quite sure what Miley was talking about. Then it clicked. "You did what you needed to do. Even if I was I wouldn't be now, I think two months are plenty of time to cool off."

"Even about me attacking Death Scythe?" She asked quickly wondering if she should have just kept quiet and she had to know.

"Did I say, no already. I already I took care of that." He told her. "Anything else bothering you?"

Miley went to leave. "Nope guess I'll get going. Professor," Stein turned to look at her. "Thank you."

Stein wondered for what. They something strange happened. The ground began to shake. Trees fell over. Miley thought it might be the immortal Free. He had been kidnap her the year before when he saw some how believed he was in love with her. But it wasn't it was a women, she was tall and slender. She had curves in all the right places. She had ears and a tail of a red fox. Miley thought she was beautiful and wondered if she was lost. Stein made sure to stand between the two. Miley blinked what was with him. Why did this women matter.

"Miley, run, I don't care where get out of here." Stein said. Miley couldn't move, she couldn't even think. This women was holding her attention. There was something around her neck that seemed familiar. It was a small jewel owl. She couldn't take her eyes off of it neither could Stein. How could he forget about the owl. She always said it carried wisdom for her since she had none.

"That necklace." She said blankly.

"Wow did think that I would find you so early." She said. "I've come to finish what I started and you better get out of the way. I really would hate to mark up that darling face any more than it already is."

"Who the hell are you?" Stein demanded. He didn't dare move if he did the witch maybe able to get Miley.

"Katrina Katsune, what is your name cutie?" Stein had turned his back to Miley, he knew she would stay put or so he thought. Miley ran passed him. He tried to grab at her but she was passed before he really knew what was happening. He never seen Miley like this. She slammed into the witch. Stein felt the witches soul. He couldn't see Miley. He was going to kill her.

Stein was very glad this witch seemed to like him. She wasn't really trying to hit him. So he would be able to say alive till Marie came hurried into the picture with Maka, Kid, and Chrona in toe. They're arrival allow him enough time to snatch the necklace from around her. The witch giggled.

"You should have just asked, I'm glad you want a forget me not." She said before she disappeared into the trees. He took a deep breath and turned to Marie. Some how he knew this was going to take a great deal of explaining, which he didn't really have time for at the moment. He needed find Miley and kill her.

"I'll tell you everything, after I find Miley. She's the one the witch is after."

"How do you know that Franken?" She asked coming over to check on him. He held up the necklace and said two words.

"It's Sara's." After that he headed off in the same direction as Miley.
