What's up, What's up~! Hehe. Here's one of the projects I have been working on and the reason for my delay in the other stories I have. I know, I know... I shouldn't be doing this but I'm just a huge fangirl of Soul Eater and needed to do this!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Soul Eater, only my Original Characters: Luna, Rina and Freya.

Chapter 1: DWMA ~ Maka and Soul?

"Are you sure this is the place Rina?"

"I'm sure girl! Why?"

"I don't know, it just feels really strange."

"You can sense them already? Seriously?"

"...Yeah. Lots of souls. A few more powerful than I expected."

"What did you expect?"

"...I don't know."

We kept walking for some more time, the strange looking building standing out already beside the ordinary houses close to it. I don't complain that much... but I'm not used to this. It's a lot to take in.

"Hey." I looked up quickly when Rina called. "You okay?" I nodded silently, giving a mask of a smile to cover my uneasiness. It was something unnatural for someone like me to have this type of soul, I could get why she checked on my regularly. However it was the other way around - I was supposed to be the one taking care of her. That's my job after all.

"Hey, hey! Wassup~!" We both sweat dropped. On the way here, I was dead nervous about actually meeting the Grim Reaper... but now I see this. He's goofy. The Lord of Death is a goofy character.

"..."

"Uh..."

"Now, now, no need to be shy! After all it was your decision to come here in the first place!" He was right about that last part.

"Right. We, um, we just recently discovered our abilities at the same time we discovered we could resonate our souls so... it's been really weird." I didn't say anything as Rina explained our behavior, knowing that it was all that needed to be said.

"Yes, indeed it must have been. Now, Rina." We both looked at him attentively, even though he only referred to her, not me. "Outside will be a student waiting for you, he will explain to you everything you need to know about your schedule, the classes you will be taking and how everything here at Shibusen work." She nodded but didn't move. "Uh... you should probably get going now." We both jumped at this.

"Huh?" Was what came out of our mouths. I thought we were going to get the tour and everything together!

"Oh, I'm sorry! Don't worry you won't be in separated classes or anything of the likes, I just need to speak to Luna here for a second." I didn't know if either of them noticed, but I gave a gulp and felt sweat beginning to form beneath my bangs and on my palms as I tightened my grip on my side, messenger bag. Rina and I looked at each other before I gave her a reassuring nod - I wasn't at all comfortable with the idea. However, for her to be more comfortable I needed to fake that I was. She made her way outside of the Death room warily and dissapeared from sight. To say that I was nervous was an understatement. What could the Grim Reaper want to say to me that Rina couldn't be present for?

"How about a cup of tea?" I stared blankly at the Reaper as he sat in a table I don't think had been there before with a cup in his huge, white hand. Another cup was placed opposite to him. I walked over, scratching my head nervously as I looked at the small cup in front of me instead of The Lord of Death's skull mask. "What is it dear? Are you a coffee drinker then?" I snapped my head up. Shoot. I must've looked disrespectful.

"Eh? No, no! I-I don't drink either tea nor coffee!" I shook my hands quickly, reaching up to pass the back of my hand over my forehead as discreetly as possible, trying to stop the sweat from reforming again.

"That's a shame. You ought to try some tea - it's much healthier anyways." I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Um... not to be disrespectful or hasty, but... didn't you say you wanted to speak to me?" He sipped from his tea and set down the cup.

"Ah~! Yes, of course! You see Luna, you have a very special type of soul, you were aware of that weren't you?" I nodded quietly, listening intently to each word he said, my hands in tight fists against my knees - my legs were crossed. "However you may not know just what type of soul it is that you have, am I correct?" I shook my head. "Oh don't worry dear~!" I jumped when he yelled that. "You can speak up! No need to be so silent~!" I smiled nervously, rubbing behind my neck.

"Sorry."

"That's another thing, you constantly apologize for things you aren't even at fault of, don't you?" I stopped awkwardly rubbing my neck and looked down at the ground. He's right. "It all has to do with your soul you know." I raised a brow, completely confused.

"What now?"

"You see, as a 'sensitive soul' you have a much more peaceful approach at nearly anything." I pouted slightly at the pun he used with my soul - not very cool of him. "This is why you should have a soul that can resonate with nearly anyone. However that is not the case, is it?" Resonate...

"Well... I resonated with Rina pretty good."

"Yes, but because your soul is so... fragile, whoever becomes your partner needs to be a very cautious and gentle person. Are you sure Rina fits that description?" I pursued my lips as I thought about all of those times we've fought and how many times we have not agreed on many things.

"Uh... w-well... we resonated together so I take it she is...?" It was not a statement, because truth be told... I had not idea.

"Mmm, don't take this the wrong way, but maybe you should consider being more open." I scratched my cheek lightly, feeling myself itchy all over - possibly just the nervousness.

"Huh? Open? About what?"

"About your future partner." My eyes widened a fraction.

"My uh..." I looked down, "Rina and I are friends... I'm pretty sure we'll manage."

"Very well then, I wasn't saying you needed to stop being friends, just remember what I said, alright?" I nodded, looking up with wavering eyes. "You may go now dear, I believe I had some of my students to give you both your tours." I nodded again and walked out, letting out a breath I hadn't realized I had been holding as I exited.

"Are you sure Rina fits that description?"

What the Reaper said replayed over and over in my head before I shook it quickly. No. What is he thinking? Rina is my friend, I don't plan on finding another partner.

"Hi, are you Luna Hayashi?" I jumped and looked up in alarm. A girl with blonde pigtails and jade-green eyes was talking to me.

"Oh! Uh... yeah. Sorry about that." I put my hands together, fidgeting nervously.

"Good! I'm Maka Albarn and a Meister, and this is my partner, Soul Eater." I noticed now that there was a boy standing beside her but not too closely. He was quite a strange sight. Snow white hair that was slightly - okay, very - unkept, a black and yellow jacket, equally colored shoes and red pants. He also had a very strange name.

"Sup?" I nodded smiling instead of going all out and saying, 'Hello!', like I always do.

"You're a Weapon, aren't you?" I guess she was trying to get to know me better. She said their statuses, so I guess it's only fair I do the same.

"Mm-hm, have you seen my friend? Rina?" Maka looked pensive for a second before looking at me brightly.

"I think so - I'm pretty sure she already left with another student." I nodded. "You don't talk much, do you?" She said, laughing lightly. I felt a blush instantly creep up my cheeks.

"Ah... no, no! It's just that I've got a lot of stuff in my mind right now. I'm sorry I seemed rude." I frowned in worry - I had no intention of coming off that way... sort of.

"Don't worry it's fine." She smiled once more, nudging Soul when he just stood there saying nothing, hands tucked into the pockets of his jacket.

"What?" She narrowed her eyes at him and I smiled again, finding the situation a bit funny.

"Never mind... come on! Let's go so you start as soon as possible!" She grabbed onto my arm, hooking hers with it, and then dragged me off to see every corner and inch of the school. I think I like her already. She's very cheerful and mindful of others. If everything goes smoothly, I might've just earned my first friend here at Shibusen.

...

...

...

"LUNA!" I practically jumped out of my skin when I heard my name being hollered by a very familiar voice. School was over so I was heading over to the apartment that was assigned to me by Shibusen itself - well, I was trying to. Maka gave me the coordinates but I am terrible with directions. "Wait up!" It was Rina, running over to me - more like slow jogging. I waited a full ten minutes until she reached me and we both fell into pace as walked through Death City. We had stayed late to get more orientation regarding the school, it's foundation, our classes, our current residence - in this case the rooms inside the school were all full so we needed to stay somewhere outside of Shibusen. I didn't mind walking but now I would have to wake up earlier to get to school on time.

"How did your first day go?" I asked her once we were walking. I should've probably asked if she knew the way...

"Are you kidding me?!" I flinched when she yelled loudly. "Girl these people are crazy! The Meisters have a lot much more to do than Weapons I can tell you that for sure! I..." I zoned out when she went on to rant about how weird and crazy her day was - also how apparently Weapons were slackers.

Maka was delighted with me. She managed to get some info. out of me - like the fact that I enjoy reading. There's a lot of people who have labeled her as a bookworm so she was delighted to find someone who enjoyed reading like her. She asked me what type of material I liked and all I could say was:

"A little of everything I guess."

We exchanged our experiences in the reading world and what type of book we liked better. I noticed she was a perfectionist too. My mom was like that - a lot. I could say I was too, but not to the extreme they go to. She was also very interested in knowing what my Weapon form was - something that I felt very uneasy about. At one point I noticed that every time she mentioned how she wanted to see it Soul would look off to the side, not that he had really spoken all that much. Soon enough it dawned on me, the reason as to why Soul had been so indifferent towards me - he probably thought Maka was being too friendly and close, possibly changing her mind about him as her partner. It wasn't hard to notice and I instantly felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

"So uh... have you guys collected many Kishin souls?" I decided I wanted the conversation to drift off to their partnership instead. Maybe that way he would loosen up a bit.

"Actually yes! We have! In fact - we're only short of two." My eyes widened instantly.

"Wow." I said, throughly impressed by this fact as I glanced at Maka and then at Soul, who only cracked his neck - no word uttered. "Is it hard to collect them?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous as I realized that Rina and I had a long way to go. These two were almost done - we we're just getting warmed up to start climbing our way up.

"It all depends on the missions you get or choose. So far we haven't met anything we couldn't handle well enough." She smiled encouragingly my way, falling behind a few steps to nudge Soul furiously again. I scratched behind my neck at this. This was only going to annoy the guy.

"What?" He snapped her way, drawling on his words.

"Maka..." I heard her say.

"-CHOP!" I jumped and whirled around quickly, almost slipping and falling in the process. Maka had brought a book down hard on Soul's head.

"Ow! What'd you do that for?" Soul demanded at his Meister from the ground, clutching his head. My eyes were twice their size. Woah, that girl's got some muscle.

"Why are you being such a jerk! I told you we needed to be welcoming!" She stressed out the last word as her scolding began. I was about to object and say that it was completely fine, but Soul spoke before I could.

"You were the one that forced me to come! I never said I wanted to be a tour guide." He scowled, staying where he was on the ground. I gulped, clutching my hands tighter around the strap of my bag.

"I told you yesterday! You're just pouting because you probably forgot!"

"Oi! Stop with the telling already."

"Then stop being such a - what?"

"Wasn't she there just a minute ago?"

I heard them even from where I was. I felt bad for ditching them but I felt like I was just going to cause more bickering between the two so I just decided to leave. The tour was almost over anyways. I sighed. Maybe I shouldn't have rushed off like that, I probably looked rude and maybe even impatient.

"-and you are not listening to me." I looked up to see Rina scowling at me, arms crossed and foot tapping rapidly against the concrete ground.

"Huh? Oh~! Ehe-he! Sorry 'bout that Rina, I got distracted." She scoffed and kept walking.

"No doubt about it you airhead." I frowned, biting my tongue too late.

"Whatever you say - FartRin~" I sang, realizing too late I had let that slip. She got flustered immediately, losing her earlier attitude for just a second to get angry.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO NEVER MENTION THAT AGAIN!" I leaned back, hands inside the pockets of my jacket as I stared pointedly at the finger that was practically shoved at my face. Then I looked to the side and completely ignored it as I noticed something. "Hey! Don't ignore me again!"

First of all, was it just me, or did it get darker than before? Night sure comes early in Death City. The sound of a bell reached my ears and I looked up to see one of those grand clock towers. My eyes lost focus all of a sudden as I kept my head raised as it was, drowning out Rina's bickering. Something... was off. I'm not a Meister, so I don't have Soul Perception. However I can still sense them as good as any other Meister can thanks to my own unique one. What I was sending now was sending shivers down my spine.

I gasped when I felt it - an increase of something. I-I don't know exactly what but it made me get an eerie feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Rina... can't you feel that?" She scoffed, rolling her eyes at me.

"Feel what?" I rushed off, hearing her beckoning yells directed my way yet paying no mind to them. Probably not a smart move. I only knew that I was acting out on impulse, something very, very uncharacteristic of me. Pausing only to skid around a corner every now and then I kept my legs going, wondering what could've been that - and if Rina was keeping up.

I rounded a corner but stopped dead, frozen on spot. What... was that? Some kind of twisted creature with claws was towering over a defenseless woman who looked about ready to pass out.

"H-hey! What do you think you're doing?" What do you think you're doing you dummy! I could practically hear my self conscious scream at me. Dumbest. Move. Ever. What am I doing? Whatever that person - thing is I can't fight it by myself! Meisters and Weapons are always to fight together as a team - that way they're stronger! At least that's what I was told at Shibusen. I gritted my teeth. The worst part was that it was my own, stupid fault. I left Rina behind instead of waiting. My anxiety an curiosity both got the best of me. As I looked at how the thing's attention suddenly turned on me, I knew that I would pay dearly for my grave mistake.

R&R! Arigato and Sayonara~!

PS. I re-posted this chapter because I went back to read it and realized there some minor errors in grammar and lack of explanation in some sentences, so I fixed them. :)
