Well, this is a story I wrote out of boredom. I'm not sure how well it is as of right now. I suppose I'm just afraid of my character becoming a Mary-Sue. XD I hope you enjoy chapter 1, and let me know what you think in a review! :D
At the time, my life seemed to be perfect. I'd finally graduated from DWMA, becoming an extremely strong meister with Stein. Haku and I got married. Haku was my weapon partner back at DWMA. My life seemed fine, and we were even going to be having a baby! When she was born, our life was perfect. I felt invincible; like nothing could go wrong. But then, that night arrived.
Haku and I were out on a mission, hunting Kishin souls for Shinigami-sama. The mission went well, as it did most of the time. But this time, A human life was taken by the Kishin. We had slayed him before he could get the human's soul…but Haku seemed to be curious. I told him not to take it, but he continued to act very strangely…
The next few weeks, Haku began going out a lot and refusing to tell me where he went. Of course, I was suspicious, so I asked Shinigami-sama to send us on a mission. He obliged, naturally. Our mission was the next night, so I informed Haku as soon as I was informed. He seemed fine with it, of course. But I had a terrible feeling of what was to come.
We arrived at the scene, only to see that several human lives had been taken. One kishin stood in the middle of the carnage, holding a human soul in his hand. Before I could make a move Haku dashed out and killed the Kishin with one cut. I stood there, shocked. I took a step forward, but then froze up. I sensed another kishin wavelength in front of me, but the only person in front of me was Haku. My eyes widened as an evil smirk covered his face. He grabbed both the kishin soul and the human soul from the air and he ate them both at once. My eyes widened with fear. A grin spread across his face as he darted at me. I stumbled back, trying to grab onto anything. I couldn't find anything, and I hit the ground hard. The pain in my legs was soon followed by a pain in my abdomen. Haku used the hook side of his weapon blood to pierce my stomach. I wanted to scream, but my voice was hoarse. He bent down to where I was lying and placed his lips at my ear.
"Next time, you won't be so lucky…dear." He chuckled as he pulled the hook from my wound. Before I knew it, he was gone and everything went black.
"Damn it!" I yelled, bolting up from my bed. I was breathing heavily and I felt a few beads of sweat run down my face. I tried taking a deep breath as I looked at my surroundings. Once I realized I was in my small bedroom, I relaxed a bit. 'It…It was only a bad dream…' I told myself as I wiped my face. I grabbed my glasses and placed them on my face gingerly. It had been the 3rd night in a row I had a nightmare like that, and I was starting to get pretty freaked out about them. I stood up, glancing into the mirror across from me at the reflection staring back at me. I tried to smile, but it didn't work very well.
'Time to put on that fake smile again, Aura. That's how everyone at school knows you, of course. The happy, humorous one, right?' I thought to myself, smiling poorly. As I opened my dresser I glanced at the clock. It read 6:15. I let out a heavy sigh, grabbing a shirt from the drawer. Within a few moments, my pajama top was off and the clean shirt was on me. A quick change of pants was necessary, so I opened another drawer and snatched up a pair of jeans from the top of the pile. My pajama bottoms were off in a flash and replaced with the jeans.
"Mom! Are you almost ready? It's almost time to go!" Cat shouted up the stairs. I opened the door, chuckling.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. I'm dressed and ready. Did you get breakfast?" I asked. I looked down the stairs at my daughter. Her long red hair was pulled back into a ponytail; her green-blue eyes staring me down. She looked a lot like I did when I was her age, par the hair color. She laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her head.
"Eh, not quite yet. I'm making myself some eggs, though." I smiled, chuckling to myself.
"Okay. That sounds good." I replied. Cat smiled at me before heading back to the kitchen. I scratched my head slightly, thinking if I should grab my breakfast or get something to eat at DWMA. I decided I would wait, so I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. I turned the nozzle of the cold water on to wet the toothbrush and I opened the drawer to the toiletries. On the top of everything was a black choker with a small blue star centered on it. I smiled, grabbing the choker and attaching it to my neck. I grabbed the toothpaste as well and shut the drawer.
Cat and I walked up to the school, arriving at about 6:50. I smiled nervously. "They're probably gonna kill me for being this late…" I muttered to myself. I heard Cat laugh softly.
"Don't worry about it, Mom. Spirit will probably be later than you, anyway." She laughed. I grinned as well, seizing the opportunity to make fun of the flirtatious beast.
"You're probably right there. Maybe he went to that damn club of his to get some morning refreshment, eh?" I laughed. As we stood there laughing, a voice appeared from behind us.
"Making fun of Spirit without me? You really are being cruel, Aura." I turned around and met the gaze of Stein, another professor at DWMA. His gray locks twirled a bit in the wind and his glasses hid his yellow-green eyes very well. H reached up and cranked the large screw in his head. I laughed briefly.
"Hey, join the party Stein!" I greeted. He smiled slightly, pulling out a cigarette. As he lit the cigarette, Cat tapped my shoulder.
"I'm heading to class now Mom…So, I'll see you there." She smiled. I smiled back, giving her a quick hug.
"Kay. Behave yourself, and try not to break anything, okay?" I added. She laughed.
"I'll try." She replied, waving and running off. I waved back as she ran up the steps to the school. I heard a slight laugh from Stein. I turned around, meeting his eyes in a gaze.
"…She is growing up quickly, isn't she?" He added. I nodded, looking back in Cat's direction.
"You wouldn't believe it. She looks every bit like me except….the hair color, of course…" I muttered. I could feel Stein staring into the back of my head.
"Control yourself, okay?" He replied, walking back towards the school. I watched him as he walked, and I decided to follow close behind him.
"…M-Maybe…some smoothie and conversations with Spirit will calm me down…h-he has a soothing wavelength…" I muttered. My hair hung over my eyes, blocking some of my vision. But, I was okay. I knew the whole place by heart, and Stein wasn't far in front of me. I heard him chuckle.
"You enjoy spending time with him, don't you? Seriously, someday you should ask him on a date or something." He joked. I frowned, looking up at him.
"Hey, I don't like him like that, y'know." I added, pouting slightly. Stein laughed, opening the door to the teachers lounge.
"I know, I'm just kidding. Besides, we shouldn't talk about this when he's here himself." He shifted his eyes over to Spirit, who'd gotten up from the couch.
"Morning you two! How are the lovebirds doing?" He teased. I frowned, standing on my toes to boost my height slightly.
"What're you talking about? Not only is Stein dating Kiki, but I'm single thank-you-very-much!" I added, placing my hands on my hips. Spirit raised an eyebrow, laughing slightly.
"Don't act like you don't want a boyfriend, Aura. Besides, I'm all open, you know~" He smirked, pointing his thumb back at himself. I laughed.
"Why would I want to date you, Spirit? Not only do you probably not want to date me, but you'd probably cheat on me, y'know?" I said through laughter. Spirit frowned slightly.
"First of all, don't be so negative towards yourself. Secondly, I don't consider it cheating. I consider it satisfying a man's needs." He replied. I sighed, claming myself.
"Sure, but I wouldn't tolerate it. Keep that in mind." I said, smiling uncontrollably. For some reason, I always got like this when I was around him. Pushing a strand of hair out of my face, I turned around.
"Damn, I'm hungry. What is here to eat here?" I asked, placing my hands at my hips again. After a moment, I felt something hit the back of my head. I scowled, turning back around and looking at the floor. A pudding cup sat at my feet. I looked at Spirit, who was smirking. I smirked as well, scooping up the pudding cup.
"Pudding…I see…" I muttered. Grasping the pudding cup, I hurled it back at Spirit forcefully. It bounced on his forehead and plopped down into his hand. Spirit's head jerked back slightly as a red mark appeared in the dead-center of his face.
"Ow! Why'd you throw it back, you said you were hungry!" He shouted. I grinned.
"That's what you get for hurling it at me, stupid." I replied. I walked over to the small refrigerator that was in the room, opening the door. Glancing inside, I didn't see anything at first. Then I spotted a green pear, practically calling my name. I grinned, grabbing it and closing the fridge again. I tossed it up and down for a moment, before walking over to the sink to wash it. Spirit, who had opened the pudding cup he'd just hurled at me, started small talk. I turned the nozzle on the faucet and rinsed the fruit quickly. I took a large bite from the ripened fruit, spinning around and looking at the two behind me. The bell rang, telling us it was time to get to work. Sid ran first hour, so we had a slight break until then. I shuffled over to an empty chair, plopping down and taking another chunk out of the fruit. Sid was responsible for first hour, so I had a slight break before I had to teach. Stein and Spirit were conversing about something, mentioning DWMA's anniversary. I smiled to myself, letting out a long sigh.
This was going to be a long day.
