Maka, Soul, Crona, Ragnarok Black*Star, and Tsubaki have been friends with Death the Kid, Liz, and Patti for two years now. They knew there was something off with him recently. But none of them expected this.
It was a bright and sunny day. Just a regular old day. No Keshins, no witches, just peace. The eight kids knew this peace never lasted forever. So they injoyed it. With a game of basketball.
"Over here, Maka!" Soul said and his hans shot in the air as he jumped up. The young miester threw the ball over the heads of . Soul jumped up to catch it but was intersepted by a small black blob.
"Haha!" Ragnarok laughed. "Get moving, Crona!"
"I'm going, I'm going." Crona said as he started running, wincing whenever Ragnarok bounced the ball on his head.
"Move faster! Black*Star is catching up." Ragnarok said.
The loud HA HA HA of Black*Star followed right after and the bluenette jumped up, snatching the ball from a now angry Ragnarok.
"You went to slow! He got the ball!"
"I-I'm sorry!" Crona said.
"And, Black*Star shoots!" Black*Star grinned as he aimed the basketball up. "And, he-"
"Misses!" Kid finished as he jumped up, intercepting the shot.
"NO!" Black*Star yelled. "Darn you, Kid!"
Kid soon got the ball stolen from him as he tried to dribble it symmetrically.
"Go, Tsubaki!" Black*Star cheered.
"Over here!" Maka yelled as Liz and Patty attempted to cut Tsubaki off.
"And Maka shoots," Black*Star yelled.
"And. She. Scores!"
"YAHOO! WE WON!"
'Nice shot, Maka."
Crona smiled slightly at them.
"Excuse me, kids. Sorry to interupt."
Everyone turned at the comical voice to see Lord Death.
"Hello, Father." Kid said.
"Greetings, Lord Death." Maka said with a small smile.
"Yes, hello." The Grim Reaper said. "I have a job for all of you. But, it's not like your normal job."
"I'm sure it won't be that bad." Soul said.
"Right?" Liz said nervously.
"We're having guests. There will be some students from True Cross Academy coming." Death said.
Maka's POV
"W-w-what?!" Kid said.
I looked at him to see his eyes wide.
"Oh no. Why are they coming?" Liz asked.
"It's a new training program." Lord Death said. "I have had some arangements with their headmaster for some of their trainies and Exorcists to come for a month or so."
"No." Kid said immediatly. He shook his head rapidly. "I'm not doing it."
Lord Death waved his big white glove towards Kid in a motion to come closer. Kid went with Liz pushing him. The three whispered amongst each other and Kid's whole body went tense and straight. He then nodded after a bit.
"Well, our guests will be ariving at the academy next week. Just a heads up. See ya later!" And just like that, Lord Death left.
"What was that all about?" Black*Star asked.
"Oh. Nothing. It was nothing." Liz said and waved her hands and shaking her head. It was obvious it was not a subject to bring up.
"I'll just be heading home now, if you guys don'y mind." Kid said and seemed to return to his normal self. He crossed his arms over his chest, mainly rubbing his upper arms, and turned to leave.
"Come on, Patty." Liz said, her arm still on Kid's shoulder.
"Coming!" Patty said.
"That was so un-cool." Soul muttered. "What was that about?"
"We'll just have to wait." I said.
"Aw." Black*Star said.
"What are Exorcists?" Crona asked softly.
I turned around. I almost forgot he was there! "Um, I honestly have no clue." I answered.
"I don't like the sound of them. They sound scarey." Crona said.
Rin's POV
"What do you want now?" I groaned as I turned over in my bed. "Oh. Hi, Kuro. I thought you were Yukio."
No problem! Kuro grinned. Oh. Yukio and the others are waiting for you.
"Why?" I wondered as I sat up.
Yukio has an announcement or something.
"Oh." I said as I sat up. I was planning on sleeping for the rest of the day but oh well.
"You coming Okumura?" Came Bon's voice.
"Yeah, yeah." I yelled as I grabbed my sword. "I'm coming."
I reached out my arm as Kuro made an attempt to climb onto my shoulder. I ran down the hall to the front door where I knew everyone was. But, I found myself tumbling over something and ending up on the floor.
That was mean! Kiro hissed from my stomach.
"I didn't intend on falling." I responded.
"I-i'm sorry." Came a soft voice.
My head snapped up to see a young girl. And I mean young. Like, 13 or 10 years old.
She had long black hair with three white stripes on only the left side of her head. Her eyes looked two different shades of yellow. Like honey or amber.
You're staring. Kuro climbed onto my head and looked down into my eyes.
I smiled a bit and picked Kuro up away from my face.
"It's no worry." I said. "I don't believe I know your name."
"I-I'm Violet." She said.
I smiled. "Wait. The Violet?" I said.
Yukio always talked about a young girl he was training. If this is her then-
"Yeah. Violet Death. You're Rin, I assume." Came her soft voice.
Death? What kind of a name is that?
"Yes. I'm Rin Okumura. Nice to meet you."
"Vi? You okay?"
I turned around and smiled at my little brother. "Sup, Yukio."
"About time you were awake." My geeky four eyed Exorcist brother said.
I looked over at Violet to see her hands were spinning and there was a faint black glow coming from them.
"Violet." Yukio said sharply.
I looked at him in surprise and Violet stopped immediatly and looked down.
"Sorry." She muttered and put her hands behind her back.
"How about you go outside and start giving everyone a talk about what we will face in Death City." Yukio said in a softer voice.
Violet nodded before sprinting away.
I looked back at Yukio.
"Okay. I can explain." He said and pushed his glasses up onto his face.
"Okay. Start." I said and crossed my arms.
"Violet, as you know, is someone I am training personally. She is the daughter of Death himself." Yukio said.
"Daughter of Death!" I said.
Yukio nodded. "So she'd technally a demon like us. But she's a full demon. Not half."
"But, but." I put my hand about where her head was. "Full demon?"
Yukio nodded. "Violet an older brother. Both of them were caught by a group of Exorcists when they were young. They had decided to keep Violet alive, and to... well, kill her older brother."
It felt like my heart stopped. "How old was she? How old were they?"
"Violet was thirty, I believe. In human years. Her brother was sixty. They physically age one year every ten years. So they were technally-"
"Three and six." I finished.
Yukio nodded. "Well, lets get going. Death City isn't a walk away."
"Wait, where?" I asked and started running after my little brother.
