Meiko's insane laughter filled the ears of her opponents, "YOU CAN'T BEAT US!" she cried, grinning largely at the apparent fear filled people.
'Meiko-sama, killing these people won't be a good idea, there one of you and five of them, you can't win!' Kitai's voice rang through her meister's head. Making her meister growl loudly.
'DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND TRANSFORM!' Meiko yelled back, earning a slight sigh from Kitai, transforming into two scythes, held together by thread.
"AHAHA! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! TWO GIRLS? BEATING US? HAH!" One of the five males yelled, making the other four burst into laughter.
"What they going to do? Give us a makeover?" The tallest laughed. Meiko gave her insane grin, posing in her attack stance.
"Stance of Death." Meiko uttered, her body crouched, the thread wrapped around her back with the two scythes held in front of her body. "Prepared to die yet?" Meiko questioned quite childishly.
"Come on kid, you really think you can beat us? Then go ahead!"
Meiko shook her pinkish red hair out of her eyes, 'Let's go, Kitai!'
'Yes Meiko-sama.'
Meiko charged towords the men, the thread being flipped over her body to capture one of the guys in its embrace, suddenly using the scythes to cut the man in half before he could realize what was going on.
"S-SHE'S EFFECTED BY THE MADNESS!" One of the men yelled as Meiko giggled.
"Now he didn't last very long, what about you-" Before Meiko could finish the men ran away. Kitai transformed back into her human form, "Kitai, eat this guy's soul." Meiko said.
"But Meiko-sama! Human souls taste funny!" Kitai complained, earning a slight laugh.
"I SAID EAT IT!" Meiko suddenly yelled, making Kitai whimper and gingerly eat the soul.
"BLEGH!" Kitai exclaimed with a cough. "Kishin souls taste so much better!" she huffed.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT KISHIN SOUL TASTES LIKE?!"
"I DON'T I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD THAT THEY TASTE REALLY NICE!" Kitai screeched, but turned around at the sound of footsteps.
"We've got company~" Meiko laughed, turning towards the footsteps, seeing a boy with blue hair, a girl with blonde hair and another boy with black hair with white strips. All of them holding weapons. "OH HELLO~" she laughed at them.
"H-hi." Kitai said, looking towards them all, waving slightly.
"Are these the girls?" The blue haired boy questioned, earning a nod off the other too. "I'M THE AMAZING BLACK STAR AND I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASSES!" He screamed.
"Don't make promises you can't keep." Kitai said, almost like she appeared in front of him, when really she had walked there when he wasn't looking.
"GAH!" He screamed, jumping backwards slightly. Kitai's eyes wondered off somewhere, obviously distracted by something.
"Stop yelling at me." She muttered, holding her head in pain. The three rose their eyebrows at her, her eyes tightly closed in pain.
'I'LL YELL AT YOU IF I WANT TO YELL AT YOU!' Meiko's voice rang through Kitai's head, making her fall to her knees. 'NOW TRANSFORM!' her voice rang again.
"If you say so." Kitai muttered, getting up and seemingly doing a backwards flip into her weapon form that landed in Meiko's hands.
"Alright then, Black Star was it? Show me what you've got." Meiko grinned, the boy with white strips in his hair gave a sigh, obviously knowing there was going to be a fight.
"ALRIGHT! NO ONE CAN BEAT THE ALMIGHTY BLACK STAR!" The blue haired boy grinned.
"Stance of Death." Meiko whispered, standing in her usual position. The three tensed at her sudden forwardness to the fight. "Hope your souls are pure, Kitai doesn't like Kishin souls."
"THAT'S A LIE!" Kitai yelled from her weapon form.
"Seems like the weapon is just a tool in the Meister's madness," Death the Kid said to Maka and Black Star, earning nods. "If we kill the Meister then the weapon is either free or dies, we don't know how the experiment worked." He added, "If we capture both of them and cure them of the madness then they could be ordinary people."
"Enough explaining! Time to fight!" Black Star suddenly yelled, charging towards the two girls.
"WAIT BLACK STAR- UGH!" Maka yelled, sighing then charging with him.
"Eager are we?" Meiko questioned, raising an eyebrow before stepping to the side, letting Black Star run past her instead of charging into her.
"WAH!" Black Star yelled, managing to stop himself only a couple of steps away from Meiko.
"MAGIC SCYTHE MODE!" Meiko suddenly screamed, making Kitai whimper and transform into a giant scythe.
"W-woah…" Maka muttered, quite impressed by the size of the scythe. Also by the fact such a petit girl could hold such thing!
"KITAI!" Meiko yelled, pointing the scythe towards Black Star.
"I'M SORRY!" Kitai suddenly screamed as a purple light shot from the scythe, obviously some of her soul wavelengths. Unfortunately it was a direct hit to the stomach, which wasn't intended, Meiko was aiming for his chest.
"Did you… HOW DARE YOU APOLOGIZE TO THE ENEMY!" Meiko suddenly screamed, dropping the huge scythe.
The scythe turned into Kitai, tears pouring down her face. "SHUT UP!" Kitai yelled, Meiko raised her eyebrow in an amused manner. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Kitai cried, gripping onto her own hair and pulling it.
'Don't disobey me!' Meiko's voice rang through Kitai's head, causing pain to the girl.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Kitai shrieked, getting off the ground and punching her Meister square in the chin.
Maka and Kid watched the whole scene, quite surprised Kitai did their job for them. Maka put Soul down, just leaving the scythe leaned against a tree. "Are you okay?" Maka questioned the purple haired girl.
Kitai looked up to her, holding her hair with a pain filled expression. "Is the blue haired one okay?" she asked, then blinked and stared at the hand that was being offered to her. Kitai wasn't actually aware she had fallen after punching Meiko.
"Take my hand." Maka said, her smile seeming contagious as it spread to the lips of Kitai. She then took her hand, then being pulled up. "You want to see Black Star?" Maka questioned, earning a slight nod off of Kitai.
As she was practically being dragged to the side of Black Star, she fell beside him. On her knees, she looked over his face. "Black Star?" She questioned, he opened an eye, a slight grin crossing his face.
"It'll take more than that to hurt the amazing Black Star!" He grinned. Kitai gave a rather weak laugh, rubbing her arms. "Hm?" Black Star gave a rather questioning hum, lifting up her sleeves, revealing the bloody bandages she was attempting to hide.
"N-NO!" Kitai quickly yelled, covering her arms again, her face almost fear filled, "Don't look at my arms." She quickly added, but this only caused Black Star to become curious. He suddenly grabbed loose bandaging from each of her arms and pulled at it, causing all the bandaging to unravel from her arms. Her arms where bruised and sliced, some cuts deeper than others, almost seeming like she either did it to herself or someone purposely did it to her.
"What happened?" Black Star questioned, this made Kitai confused. She wasn't used to people being nice to her, considering she was a failed experiment done by her parents and Meiko's parents. Meiko also hit her a couple of times, which was probably why she seemed so scared of her. But nice, no, she had never really experienced that.
"Meiko-sama hurt me." She whispered, in a voice only Black Star could hear, "A-and in battle, she lets me get hurt. She doesn't even care." She said even quieter, looking away quite sadly. Black Star grinned, which surprised Kitai, she was sharing a sad fact but the boy was grinning?
"The amazing Black Star won't let you get beat up anymore!" He attempted to whisper, but yelled. Kitai gave a rather shocked face before giving a small smile. Maybe she had made one of her first friends!
Kitai sat on her bed in the cell she was to be kept in. They knew she was safe, which is why people were allowed in her cell, but Meiko was being kept in a very small cell, tied up in there. They said they were going to help her. This little bit of information is what was stopping Kitai from crying in worry.
As she heard a knock at the door, she whimpered, "C-come in."
Holding some flowers and a cake, in walked Maka. "Hey Kitai!" she said, smiling happily at the purple haired girl. "How are you feeling?" she asked, closing the cell door behind her and sitting next to Kitai on the bed.
"F-fine." She muttered shyly, a small smile spreading across her face, "Just a l-little sore." she admitted, rubbing her left arm. Most of her body had been bandaged up, since a few medics had seen all the cuts and bruises from battle. Though, with it being the first time being in contact with a medic, she was terrified of them.
"I brought you some stuff, though they wouldn't let me bring in the forks to eat the cake with. You know, they see it as a weapon." Maka explained, laughing nervously, making Kitai giggle slightly. But her giggles were soon cut short as the cell door burst open, causing Kitai to hide behind Maka.
Soul gave a slight smirk, "Never thought I'd see Maka in one of these cells." he said, earning a roll of the eyes from Maka.
"You're lucky I don't have my book." she threatened, causing Soul to gulp slightly and mutter the word 'uncool'.
"W-why would you need a book?" Kitai questioned, finally appearing to Soul, also causing her to see Black Star and Tsubaki there too. "H-hello!" she smiled, still rather scared of people. Though she had lived her whole life being a weapon to kill normal people, she never had the chance to be social, so people terrified her.
"HEY KITAI! THE AMAZING BLACK STAR IS HERE TO SEE YO- OO CAKE!" Black Star yelled, quickly running over to Maka as she held the cake away from him.
"Black Star, I think that's Kitai's cake." Tsubaki said, grabbing onto his shoulder, only for him to shake it off.
"SHE CAN SHARE!" He screamed, continuing to reach for the cake.
Kitai looked a Black Star, then smiled slightly, "I don't mind, give him some." she said, managing not to stutter this time.
"YEAH, GIVE ME SOME!" Black Star yelled, earning a groan from Maka.
"I d-don't even like cake." Kitai muttered, earning a raised eyebrow from everyone.
"Well what do you eat on your birthday?" Soul questioned, earning a confused look from Kitai.
"What's a birthday..?"
