Hey, so I'm posting a Soul Eater story while I should be working on my Bleach fan fiction. I've just started watching/reading (yes, I do both,) Soul Eater, so I don't know all that much. And I would totally be watching it right now, but I've grounded from all things modern, so forgive me if I'm leaving anything important out :) ~VML
Chapter 1—The New Kid—How Mysterious is She?
~Soul's POV~
Lots of people were whispering in the halls in the DWMA (Death Weapon Meister Academy). There was supposed to be a new student sometime this week. I didn't get what was so special about a new student after Kid started attending, but that was before I heard the details.
Her name was Huntress Li'van. She was from a place I had never heard of before—Autumn Town. I did some research—just to make sure it was real, it's not like I was stalking her or anything—and it's a lot different from Death City. It was a bright and colorful place compared to our symmetrical buildings and dark alleyways. I was surprised to hear that no one knew who her partner was… In fact, no one knew if she was a meister or a weapon. That was what caught my interest.
Just like when Death the Kid arrived at DWMA, Black Star immediately wanted to "assassinate" the person "stealing" his "spotlight". I was curious to see how it went down, but he would have dragged me along anyways. At least this time he'd persuaded Tsubaki to be his weapon instead of pathetically trying to use me in battle. That poor girl; she really needs to stick up for herself more.
Wednesday morning, I sat legs crossed in front of the school waiting for Huntress Li'van to make her appearance. Hopefully she wouldn't be three hours late like Kid had been on his first day. Then again, she probably didn't have an entire house to perfectly align before stepping out the door—that would be so uncool. Wednesday morning, I sat legs crossed in front of the school waiting for Huntress Li'van to make her appearance.
~Huntress' POV~
I was early—school started at seven o'clock, and it was six thirty. I sighed and let my arm fall back to my side. My boots clacked against the white marble steps leading up to the entrance of DWMA. Students turned their heads and murmured to each other as I walked by. I didn't really mind—after all, I was rather new to their environment.
A gust of wind blew hair out of my face and my cape billowed in the wind. I used my hand to block the sharp light from my eyes. Clack. I reached the last step. Whoosh. I heard the weapon before I saw it. There's nothing like being greeted to your first day of school in a new city by a giant ninja star.
~Soul's POV~
I was shocked. I completely expecting Black Star to make a big over dramatic entrance and give a large speech about surpassing God, but this—he had attacked the girl without a word. I wasn't even sure if that was Huntress Li'van. Sure, I'd never seen her before, but that didn't mean she was the new student. I wanted to get up and halt Tsubaki flying through the air, but I couldn't move. Turns out, I didn't need to.
The girl I assumed was Huntress side-stepped without even looking up. Flinging her arm out to the side, it stuck directly through the center of Tsubaki, leaving the ninja star to spin around the girl's wrist helplessly. But the moment only lasted for a second. Huntress took grip on Tsubaki and flung her effortlessly through the air. She had aimed for Black Star where he stood hidden—or so we'd thought—on top of the building.
~Huntress' POV~
The star turned back to human form before colliding with my assaulter. Good thing, too, because she was on a dead-on course. They clumsily thudded together and fell from the tower roof. I sighed tiredly as the spiky blue haired punk fell flat on his face and his companion landed with a crack on his back—probably breaking something.
Though in truth I was inwardly smiling—not that if I was actually smiling anyone would notice, because I wore a mask covering my face from the bridge of my nose down my neck to where it became part of my top, which was actually a cape zipped from my neckline to below my bust. From there, it separated and was held to my waist by a black and white striped belt. The color faded from sky blue at my nose to white around my stomach. Well, my attire at the time isn't important, so we're moving on.
Before thinking about much, the blue haired kid had leapt to his feet and was pointing at me, spouting some nonsense about being a star and surpassing God. I didn't pay much attention honestly, and I decided to cut his temper shorter.
"What was that?" I called, tilting my head in his direction. His head seemed to grow larger and his nostrils flared visibly from where he stood in a battle stance some…maybe ten yards away. "I didn't quite hear you in that tiny voice you're speaking with."
Someone was laughing hysterically. I turned and saw him, the white haired boy rolling on his back and holding his stomach by the entrance to the school. He sat up and wiped his eyes. With one arm still crossed against his stomach, he opened his red eyes and grinned at me. He had sharp teeth, I observed.
I turned and faced the punk again. I didn't know how dangerous he could be, no matter how stupid he seemed.
I checked the time. 6:32
What do you think? I will definitely be back for chapter 2, because I really like where this story is going with my editors. I hope you keep reading the following chapters, because that makes me happy. ~VML
