Chapter 1:The Day It All Fell
Sigh... I hate stairs. "HEY, MOVE IT! AH! SCREW YOU!" what? Ow... a spiky blue haired boy in black ran by and stepped on me (I had collapsed). It hurt. "Sorry!" a black haired girl with a long ponytail in a white ninja outfit of a some sort did a slight bow as she stopped and continued to pass by "Lord, you're lazy Kid." Lime, my partner said. Her name is Lime Raez ( first name after the fruit and last name pronounced Rays) she has blonde hair that's curly and in a pony tail and brown eyes. She wore a green sweater vest over a long sleeved white dress shirt, brown dress pants, and green flats. I am Life the Kid, I am called Kid by my friends and family members. It's kind of a nickname I suppose. I have brown hair that is straight (due to my flat iron it no longer looks like an mess made of slight curls and waves) parted on the left with blonde streaks in the front since I dye them different colors sometimes, blue eyes fringed with brown, a dimple on the right, and I wear a white dress that resembles a poofy ball gown that goes down to my knees with lace sticking out and white knee high heeled boots with black laces with silver star earring with tiny chains dangling off. My mother is Lady Life. I was summoned by Lord Death to attend his school and form an alliance of some sort. My town doesn't have a school, just it's protectors and their partners. I'm not like my townspeople. I'm... different somehow. That's why I`m going here. At the DWMA... I think that's right...
"`scuze me for Life Town not having this many stairs!" I huffed. "How are you still going?" "It's easy considering how I'm being slung around and shooting soul energy arrows into people and monsters all the time!" She huffed back. "Not my decision for you to be a bow!" "Oh so It's my fault then!" "I never said it was!" "You know what?" "What?" I was confused as to where this was going. Obviously nowhere good for my health. "You are going up these stairs even if I have to drag you to the top!" "No-no-no-no!" I resisted to no avail when she grabbed my hand and preceded with dragging me. Damn she's strong... then again I'm only 78 lbs.
"WAAH!" Crash! I had shrieked as I somehow knocked her grip off me and I fell. I had rolled down the stairs until I crashed into someone. "Oh no I'm sorry! I'm sooo sorry! Sorry-sorry-sorry! I'm an idiot!" I apologized repeatedly. "Be more careful Miss." a calm voice said. "No need to be sorry. Everyone trips once or twice in their life." Yeah. that's it. I tripped. "Lord, not only are you lazy but you're a klutz, Kid!" Lime ranted. The boy I crashed into was a pale one, not as pale as paper white me though. he had black hair arranged perfectly symmetrically but he had three white stripes on the right side and knocked the balance off. He had a suit on with a skull pendant where a tie shoul be with a black jacket with small white stripes on the shoulder and edges of the waist. He had black dress pants and shoes on. On his middle fingers were skull rings. Perfect symmetry. My whispered response that he didn't hear (thank God) "Holy crap!" He was an `effin model. "Excuse me? Were you addressing me?" he asked Lime. "No you're name isn't Kid now is it?" She didn't get to finish sassing him. "Actually it is. I'm Death the Kid. Others call me Kid."glared back at her with his golden eyes. O_o Lime had nothing to respond with."Oh, sorry for the confusion. I'm Life the Kid. Others call me Kid, but that'll be a problem so from now on other can call me...hmm..." I concentrated hard on a new nick name.
"How `bout Bell? You look like a shiny bell!" a little girl with a chest that was quite good sized, unlike mine... damn. She had on a red sleeveless sweater that exposed her midriff with a small white tie, a cowgirl hat, blue jeans, and white cowgirl boots. She had short hair colored similarly to Lime's. Next to her was a taller girl dressed the same but with longer hair and a smaller chest still bigger than mine... double damn. I am five foot three and Lime is five foot six. I was taller than the one and nearly as tall as Kid while Lime was an inch or two taller than him and about the same as the taller girl. "Hmm... I like it. At home I was either Kid or Lady. Depending on their reason for speaking with me and their position. That was probably so since my mother is Lady Life." I really liked that name... Bell, like my silver bell earrings I had packed in my backpack. The rest of my luggage was delivered to my new house here in Death City. "That sounds good, Bell and Lime... nice and pretty..." Lime was in another one of her pensive moods. "That is a nice name. By the way this is Liz and Patty my weapons, Liz being the taller one and Patty the smaller one." Kid gestured. "This is Lime, my weapon." I returned the favor. "Allow me." He reached out and I remembered I was sprawled on the ground from my fall. I took it and he helped me up. Shit, I actually needed help and accepted it from a guy. I thought I was independent when it came to men, guess not... "Thanks." I pretended to be gracious. He gently took my left hand cupped in his and helped me continue up the stairs. O/o
We reached the top in a few minutes. "Wow! That's perfectly symmetrical!" I couldn't help but blurt out very loudly at the sight of such beauty. "Yes it is. So you appreciate symmetry too... but not to it's full extent judging from your hair." "Hmph!" I jerked my hand away with a huff. "I'm sorry I ain't perfect. My hair naturaly parts so." "Sorry if that came off as an insult."he tried to cover it. "Come on Bell. We don't need a jerk like that!" Lime took my right hand and led me inside as it was proper to do so with one's mistress. "Agreed."
"Ah! You're here!" Lord Death clapped his hands together. I had met him once... I was a little girl then. I looked up and saw guillotines, this place was definitely safe. *sarcasm alert!* "Yes sir." Lime curtseyed. I only did so slightly since I was of royalty as he was. "I called you here to make a proposal." he leaned his head to the right. "As the letter stated." "Yes. My son finally agreed to an arranged marriage, probably `cuz he was tired of me aggravating him... And we needed someone to give the non-kiishin souls to. So I decided on you in order to from an alliance and secure a sure wife for him! Plus you're 14 like he is and pretty!" He seemed overjoyed with the news. "I am flattered that you chose me. Also I would like to address that from this moment forward I am Bell." "Okay!" "So who is my soon to be husband?"I was curious. "Why you never allowed me to fully address myself once we climbed the stairs when you allowed yourself to be dragged off by your friend." "You...?" "I hoped my fiancee would be more symmetrical than you are." "Sorry I'm so horrid and imperfect..." my insecurity won the battle and I hung my head down so he wouldn't see the tears well up. "Now look! You made her cry!" Lord Death griped at his son. "She's fine just a little stung." Lime covered. "Look I'm sorry I really didn't mean to be rude." "Oh sure..." Lime hissed. "It's fine Lime down girl." I outstretched my arm in front of her and looked back up."I accept the apology Kid. Now I must agree to the proposal due to my mother would be displeased at the opportunity be turned down." I couldn't believe my words. This is the day it all fell. "Now my classes are with him most likely?" "Yup! Valentines won't be lonely for you anymore!" "Who said it was?"I growled. "Err... well you're mother did! That's why-" I held up my hand to silence Lord Death. "Save it. I know it's popular gossip. I've turned down any relationships until now. Kid if you would." "Yes, class is this way."
"Now let's go over ground rules." Kid stated. "If anyone asks we have been friends since childhood and have started dating three months ago and you moved here due to an interest in our city and to be closer to me. Address me as Kid. Never make something purposely asymmetrical in my house. Also when we marry... never have sex with me in front of a mirror." "Done. Why?" "Just don't..." I noticed Lord Death in a mirror we just passed. "Oh, yeah." "Now class started five minutes ago." I looked at the door Class Crescent Moon...
"You're late."the teacher said. "Holy crap!" I gasped. The teacher was covered in stitches. Absolutely covered in stitches. Even across his face! He was in an office chair sitting backwards and wearing a white lab coat ,that also had stitches, and glasses. I couldn't make out exactly what color his eyes were but they were either greenish or purplish. I was taken aback. "They had to speak with my father as they are new here." Kid replied. "Oh I see. Then ladies you must be Life the Kid, excuse me Bell, and Lime? Bell Presumably in the dress?" "Yes." Lime replied. "Partners yes?" "Yes, demonstration?" I wanted to show off. "Yes please." "Lime, go" Lime turned into a white bow. I pulled the string back and an arrow of light formed. My target? Blue haired punk from earlier. "Ack!" He fell backwards. "Black*Star!" the girl from earlier gasped. "Hmph. Punk." I smirked as I was applauded by the class. "Excellent. I no longer wish for you dissection. Now take your seats next to Kid and his partners." "What?" Lime asked, reverting to human form. "I said take your seats." "No not that, *sigh* never mind."
We trodded over and I sat next to Kid with Lime beside me. I unpacked my pencils (lead pencils of course since I have a tree allergy as well as many others), a notebook (upon which already containing doodles well more like complex drawings but it was easy for me)covered in glitter foam stickers shaped like hearts, flowers, and butterflies along with stickers (not glittery) that spelled out Life and one or two metallic Hello Kitty stickers, my textbook, and a water bottle. I opened the notebook to a blank page and Kid moved what I had set out on my piece of the desk to where it was symmetrical. "No fiancee of mine will have a haphazard mess on her desk." he whispered/hissed at me."Sorry!" I whispered back."It's okay." he replied. "Bell, you're doing it again! You're sorry for everything!" Lime scorned me. "Sorry! Dang!" sigh... will I ever learn not everything is my fault? "By the way... You're apartment is two guest bedrooms at my mansion. Father's will. 'If she will be your fiancee then she should stay with us!' jeez he can be annoying..." he mocked Lord Death. "What?"
