He was close. So very close. A few more souls and she would be safe. He could protect her if he just had a little more power. He looked down at his bladed hand as he measured how he felt. Three-maybe four-more souls would do it. If he could just get those he could keep her safe from anything and everything that threatened her. So he ran, he ran through the streets searching for more souls. He couldn't just take any soul they had to be perfect. Time was running out though so he was beginning to think of curving from his path. He needed to hurry! There. There was a nice soul right down that alley. He ran as fast as he could. As his target turned and screamed his blade went right through them. They were dead in seconds. He picked up the floating soul before licking his lips and dropping it down his throat. He swallowed. Only a few more. He was almost done. So he took off again. Running. Searching. Soon. Soon she would be safe. They wouldn't have to worry about anything ever again. He could protect her from everything that could harm her. As he turned a corner he saw a flash as a blade whizzed by his head barely missing him. He looked up and saw a blonde haired girl glaring at him with her green eyes. A large black and red scythe being pulled back from the swing as both parties jumped back. The girl gave him another glare before stating -as though it were a fact-" Kishin! You have troubled this city long enough! I'm here for your soul."
He was surprised to say the least. He had thought he was careful enough not to get on the academies list. Did he screw up somewhere? No he couldn't think about this now. He needed to get away. Get somewhere safe where he could lay low for a while. Get the academy off his back. He was so close! He tried to turn and run but the girl easily flipped over him blocking his path of escape. He hissed as he backed up before swinging at her. She blocked him easily. Before he could get another swing in she had chopped his arm off. He didn't even see her move! A second passed before he howled in pain as his nerves finally registered that they had been severed. He tried to back away again but she kept coming slashing until he fell to the ground. No. No he was so close. He was almost there. He just needed a few more. He felt like screaming but he couldn't as he gagged on his own blood. The girl walked over as the scythe changed into a white haired boy with red eyes. He grinned showing off his sharp teeth before he walked over and picked up the soul. He dropped it in his mouth and swallowed it before letting out a content sigh and turning to his meister. "Thank you for the meal Maka." She smiled at him before replying "Well we're almost there. Just a few more..."
