You guys can kill me if you want.
I do not own Soul Eater or anything else mentioned other than my OC c:
Sorry if I misplaced a few things...
"Whoa!"
"Aww, I got on the twentieth place again!"
"Sweet! Fifth place!"
Many people gathered around the score board to look at their scores, and one of the people who had gathered around was none other than Maka Albarn. The blonde haired girl let out a sigh of relief. She had beat Ox, scoring a hundred and one percent by spotting a mistake. She smiled then thought to herself: 'I wonder where Soul is sitting at...' Her eyes climbed from the top to bottom, looking at familiar names. Finally, when she got to the last row, she stared at Soul's. Zero. She then let out a small sigh. Typical Soul... She was about to turn around and walk away until she realized that there was a name below Soul's. A name she had always been so curious of; that one name that she kept hearing from teachers.
Raira Versailles.
Maka had always wondered who she was, and whenever she'd ask one of her classmates, they'd always say:
"Nope. Never heard of her. Why?"
Why? Well the reason was because this 'Raira' girl should've been attending their school for almost a year now. She was supposed to be a student at DWMA a long time ago, except for some reason... she never appeared. There's been a rumor going around the teachers saying that she has poor health and is unable to attend school, but Maka still wasn't sure if it was true or not.
Just then, Dr. Stein was walking down the hall, past the crowd of teens with an unknown girl about 165 cm tall.
Maka had turned her head too late to see the girl's face, but she smell the scent of her hair. Honey. Her hair smelled like honey. Maka continued to eye the girl curiously. She then began to take note of what she looked like.
Dark, blueish-purple hair that ended at her hips. She had light skin and had what seemed to be bandages wrapped around her left wrist and upper left leg, though it could barely be seen due to the typical school girl black skirt she wore. She also seemed to be wearing a black uniform and black thigh high socks. The girl wore white shoes which contrasted against all the dark she wore.
That's when she decided to tail the two. Out of curiosity, of course.
The two continued to walk down the hall way and turn to the medical room. Maka continued to tiptoe silently through the halls without making them notice. The halls were unusually empty around the area they were in. Everyone was most likely still gathered around the scoreboard. Maka hid behind a wall as they stopped in front of the medical room's doors. Maka then heard Dr, Stein speak. Though it was faintly heard by her, she could muster out a few words of what he had said. "Miss... Sit in the... I'll.. back... Miss Versailles."
The keyword: "Miss Versailles".
His voice rung throughout her head. 'Miss Versailles, miss Versailles, miss Versailles'.
This surely was the girl she'd been curious to know about.
A vague sound of the door opening and closing was heard followed by footsteps heading her way. Maka gulped. Time to make an excuse to see her. Maka backed away and rubbed her eye repeatedly, feigning hurt. She usually wasn't like this, but she just had to know who this girl was and what she looked like! When Maka met Stein in the four-way halls, she immediately looked up at him. "Dr. Stein, can I got to the medical room for a second? My eye is really itchy and apparently I'm lacking sleep..." She lied through her teeth, trying to make it as believable as she could.
Stein looked at her for a moment before smiling, "Of course, Maka. You can go to the medical room, but be aware of the other girl. She is of poor health as of now, and I'm just leaving to get something for her. Just try not to make her feel uncomfortable, okay?"
Maka weakly smiled and nodded, "Yeah," she nodded before walking off, inwardly feeling guilty for lying to him.
Listening as his footsteps got farther away from her, she excitedly speed walked to the medical room. Once she was there, she froze.
The girl beyond the door she was in front of... her soul was odd.. and it made Maka feel uneasy, almost.
Maka brushed this feeling off and opened the door. Immediately, she saw the girl.
There she was, pretty hair and all, clad in a black uniform with some white stripes and a red tie. She was pretty, really, but her eyes...
Maka couldn't see them. Nobody could. Her eyes were wrapped in a few layers of white bandages, and for some reason, pity overwhelmed Maka. Maybe the poor girl couldn't see...
"..Who's there?" A soft voice asked.
The voice came from the blinded girl herself.
"O-Oh, just... another student..." Maka replied in an awkward way.
The girl opened her mouth as if to say something before closing it. She bowed her head, "Hello," she greeted Maka politely. "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Maka Albarn... a two-star." She introduced herself walking away from the door and letting it shut on itself before seating herself in the bed beside the girl.
"Oh," the girl smiled, turning to face Maka as if she knew where Maka was, "nice to meet you. I'm... Raira. Raira Versailles."
Maka was right. This was the girl. "Hey, not to be in your business or anything, but how come you haven't been coming to school? If I remember correctly, you're supposed to be in my class."
The girl's smile hardened for a moment. "Oh, well... Umm... How do you know about me? I asked them to keep my presence a secret..."
"Sorry, I just overheard about you from some teachers."
"That makes sense..." Raira frowned, "I have poor health, as you have probably heard, but I'm almost at my best. I was allowed to come to school because apparently I'm good enough to come here... so..."
Maka then eyed her bandages around her eyes. She opened her mouth to say something before closing it.
"If you're about to ask about my eyes, I'd rather not say..." Raira bit her lip.
Maka zipped her lips. How did the girl know about her intentions?
"But don't worry!" Raira smiled, "I can see perfectly fine!"
"Then-!" Maka began, only to be cut off by the sound of the door opening.
"Hey," Dr. Stein smiled, carrying a pile of papers in one hand, the other in one of his pockets.
"Maka!" A familiar voice shouted from behind Stein.
"S-Soul?" Maka said with disbelief. Why would this idiot be here?
"Maka! Are you stealing my spotlight again!?" Another voice which was easily known as Black Star's came from behind the white haired boy as he broke into the room, pushing Stein out of the way as he did.
Soul grinned at Maka, "Kid is here too."
Suddenly, Raira's face turned from one of happiness to one of horror and disgust at the mention of Death the Kid's name.
"Yo," Kid broke in with all his glory as the rest of the gang showed up behind him.
"Maka! We heard you were in bed! Are you okay?" Tsubaki frantically began, rushing over to Maka.
Raira then shot up, catching everyone's attention. Especially Kid's.
To Kid, the girl before him was the most prettiest girl he'd seen. She was symmetrical, and her hair was just golden to his eyes.
Raira took a deep breath before gulping. She then began to walk away from Maka and Tsubaki, her head down, her hands clenched into fists. Maka and Soul noticed that her legs seemed to tremble as well as she walked to the stitched up chair.
Raira took a sharp intake of air as her injured left foot slipped, and that's when all hell seemed to break loose.
As Raira fell, her instincts told her to catch herself, and in order to do that, she spread her arms in front of her, only to hit a plate with a few cutting tools on it, making them topple along with her. The scalpel which fell along with the tools was just about to delve into her brain until Kid caught it. The girl let out a sharp gasp before looking up, the scalpel which was pointed at her brain glazed the thin layer of bandages, and dramatically, the bandages fell off her eyes, revealing them. However, her eyes were unavailable to the people behind Kid.
Kid's thoughts about her being the most beautiful thing was wrong. He cringed his nose in disgust. She was extremely unsymmetrical now that he looked at her. Her left wrist bandaged along with her leg... and her eyes.
Disgusting.
Kid pulled himself away from her, his eyes reflecting nothing but displeasure.
Before anyone else could see, Raira shut her eyes tightly, her hands searching for the fallen bandages. Once she found them, she clutched onto them like they were her life.
Dr. Stein let out a brief sigh before rushing over to the girl, putting his paperwork on his desk. "Are you alright?" He asked her. When she nodded, he continued on, "You best be happy that Death the Kid was quick enough to stop the scalpel from hitting you..." He smiled, helping her up.
To Maka, the girl seemed like a scared kitten just then with her eyes shut tightly.
"Why don't you say your thanks?"
Raira didn't say anything. She straightened herself out and felt her way to the door before walking out, the door behind her closing shut.
"Tch. What a rude girl..." Soul commented, scratching his head.
"Soul!" Maka gave him a short glare along with her warning tone.
Soul ignored her and turned his back against her.
"Hey, Kid! Did you see her eyes?" Black Star began with a grin on his face, eager to know.
"..Yeah." He agreed, shoving his hands into his pockets, his eyes closed.
"What were they like?"
"They were... weird." Kid gulped. Before she left, she had whispered something along the lines of 'do not tell anyone what they look like', though he couldn't understand why when they were just normal, every day colors. Okay, maybe her left one wasn't, but still.
"Aw, come on! Why won't you tell me what color they are instead of just telling me they're weird?" Black Star whined, only to be hushed by Tsubaki.
Tsubaki gave Kid an apologetic smile before urging Black Star away.
Kid couldn't help but smirk as he remembered her eyes.
Disgusting, but very intriguing.
Raira's POV:
"What is she, blind or something?"
"Why is she here?"
"Does she have a weapon?"
"What good can she do at DWMA when she can't even see?"
"She looks scary..."
"Creepy. She gives me the creeps..!"
There we go again. Again with the repeated, endless scorning. The same words over and over again, claiming that I'm blind when I'm really not. Everyone are my enemies continuously shooting at me with their words. They don't know how it's like being born with one scary eye and one neutral eye. They won't understand. I saw the way Kid looked at me. It was filled with disgust. Just like the others. I couldn't blame him, though. I knew my eyes were ugly. Both of them. I could barely see with my right one anyway... so the creepy eye was left. And I didn't want to get beaten again just for having one weird eye... I didn't like my eyes, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of them. No matter what.
I bit my lip as I felt my way through the corridors. I wanted to get out of here, and fast!
It was probably better if I didn't show up at all. It was probably better if I had stayed home, or even stayed sick.
I wanted to see her now. I wanted to see Rosa, my weapon.
You can kill me.
But please review and tell me where to fix my mistakes and stuff, because this is my first Soul Eater fanfic ;-;. They might be OOC, but I'll try to fix it up as the story goes along...
Thanks for reading.
