For The Love Of A Meister
Chapter 1
"Death Scythe Neeko Shay, reporting for duty." Came the response of new schooler; Neeko Shay, who was currently meeting Death himself, for the very first time.
"Hi hiya! How ya doin?" Lord Death mused as he bounced around; His foam like hands popping out.
The new student not used to his actions froze before speaking:
"Am I in the correct room?" He asked, while scratching the back of his head.
An uneasy feeling in the back of his mind.
Lord Death chuckled, his high squeaky voice making it sound more of a giggle, then a chuckle.
"Yes, yes Neeko." Lord Death spoke.
"Your in the correct room, sorry about the voice."
Neeko nodded his understandment.
As a child he was told of Death's great war, and battle against the Arachne forces.
In the end, Shinigami-Sama was the one standing tall.
"It's mighty alright Shinigami-Sama." Neeko responded, bowing a bit.
"Aright then. So how are your grandparents doing? I see they finally let you attend the academy." Lord Death said happily.
The new student was not able to attend said academy, the death of his parents having a big part of it.
"Yes, and their doing just fine. Still a little concerned for my well being, I was lucky, I had finally convinced them to let me attend even after..." The boy quickly paused, not wanting to relive the worst moment in his entire life.
Lord death quickly understood, and spoke for the young death scythe.
"It's fine Neeko, you don't have to talk about it, if your not comfortable."
The young scythe nodded his gratitude.
He was able to put aside his grief for the focus of school.
"Well back to topics, you will be attending this academy from now on and your new teacher, Professor Stein will be teaching you till you graduate." Lord Death said, glad to have yet another student join the academy, and help fight off new rising kishen's.
"Very well." Neeko smiled, already liking this school.
"Azusa?" Lord Death spoke out.
A women with dark black hair, and glasses quickly came to his aid.
Having looked at the boy, at her rush to reach Lord Death.
"Yes Death?" She said while crossing an arm over her chest; The other lifting her glasses.
The gleam slightly blinding Neeko.
"Will you be so kind enough to assist our new comer, and bring him to Stein's class room?" Lord Death asked, while taking a sip of his tea.
"Of course." She quickly maneuvered her way over to the entrance of the death room, and waved for the new student to follow, who in return, followed her.
An unpleasant silence filled the air between the new student, and assistant principle.
None having known what to say to one another.
"So your a meister, or weapon?" Azusa asked, attempting to start conversation.
The least she could do, was gather information on him.
He didn't look like a regular student.
Neeko's emotionless face didn't really give her an answer, but she was surprised when he spoke.
She hadn't expected him to answer her.
"Yes." Was all he said.
She nodded her response, as the crazed Professor's class came into view.
Walking through the double doors, Neeko tried his best not to make any eye contact with his soon to be classmates.
He tried to pull off the 'coolness' type of thing; But was screwed up as he soon became nervous.
"-And that's why we dissect things." Stein ended his, what seemed to be pointless lecture; Turning to Azusa, he spoke with a bored tone.
One that clearly read 'what-do-you-want?'
"Azusa."
"Stein, this is a new student; Neeko Shay."
At the mention of his name he looked up.
His bright blue eyes glistened as the light bounced off them; Making it seem as though he had Grey ones instead of blue.
"Ah a new dissection experiment huh?" Stein spoke, showing off his crazed smirk; But frowned when the young boy didn't seem to care for his wicked humor.
He decided to have a quick check at his soul.
But was surprised when his soul read exactly wheat his expression showed.
'Usually, a soul can tell what a person is really feeling; Though this one seems a little, strange; If I put it in that term.' Stein thought to himself.
"Just have a seat where ever." Stein said turning back to the huge chalkboard.
He would think about it later.
Neeko gave Azusa a grateful smile, before continuing to a random seat; Which ended him sitting in the left corner, towards the bottom.
He had chosen a seat farthest from anyone.
He up to the right side, then quickly looked back.
The corner of his eye, kept a close on that one spot.
He chose to hide down here.
From all eyes.
Especially the pair of forest green ones that continued to stare at him till he sat down.
{Maka's P.O.V.}
"No, Soul-! Come on were going to be late!" I yelled at Soul.
Who once again, took forever to get ready.
'As usual.' She thought.
I sighed, 'I can't let him make me late!'
'It would ruin my perfect attendance!'
"I'm coming, I'm coming, jeez bookworm don't get your panties in a bunch." He snapped at me.
I glared at him while starting my usual Maka-Chop.
Oh he was gonna get it this time.
"Makaaaaa..."
I smirked as I saw him dart out of our apartment, and to his beloved orange motorcycle.
'Got em.'
Closing and locking the door behind me, I made my way down the stairs and onto Soul's motorcycle.
Swinging a leg over, I gripped Soul's torso.
'Here goes another morning.'
The ride to school was as usual;
Quiet.
Suddenly my grip on Soul's torso tightened.
'He needs to slow down!'
"S-Soul! Slow down!" I called out, hoping he heard me.
Luckily he did;
Slowing down, he parked his bike on the outskirts of the academy.
While walking up the stairs, we were stopped by a blue haired idiot;
Other known as,
I grimaced;
Blackstar.
"SOUL! MAKA! HAVE YOU COME TO WORSHIP YOUR GOD?!"
'Did I mention idiot?'
I face Palmed.
The girl looked around,
Where was her book when she needed it?
"Dude so not cool." Soul smirked as he back high five'd Blackstar.
"Where's Tsubaki?" I asked, realizing I hadn't seen the tall Japanese girl.
"Oh Liz needed her for some girly crap." Blackstar waved off my question.
I sighed.
'Well he was no help.'
But a familiar voice yelled over to me.
"Maka-chan!"
I turned my head to see non other Tsubaki, Kidd, Liz, and Patty.
"Oh hey guys." I smiled widely, as Patty tackled me into her usual bear hug.
"Sup." Come the response from my weapon
"AS EXPECTED, EVERYONE HAS COME TO WORSHIP THEIR GOD-"
'Yeah, I had stopped listening that idiot a long, long time ago.'
I looked around;
'And apparently so did everyone else, not counting Tsubaki, who was listening intently.'
I looked at Tsubaki 'How does she put up with that?'
"Any-who..." Kidd said trying to ignore the blue haired monkey.
"Did anyone else hear about the new student?" He asked.
I looked at Kidd confused.
"New student?" I asked bewildered.
'I haven't heard the news of a new student.
"But we already got three last week." Liz groaned,
'I guess she too, was sick of new students.
"Father didn't give much information. Just stated that there will be a new student in Stein's class today." Kidd spoke in thought, he seemed to be thinking;
'But about what-?'
'His father?'
'The new stud-'
My thoughts were cut off by Blackstar.
"WELL THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!" The boy screamed, making me wonder when he had shut his trap long enough to hear Kidd.
"LETS GO MEET THIS 'NEW STUDENT'! HE MUST BOW DOWN TO ME!"
He then darted from his spot next to Soul, and made his way into the building; Tsubaki slowing trailing behind, waving a small good-bye to everyone.
Sighing, the rest of us followed, not having much of a choice.
For we all would meet up in the same classroom sometime later.
'I wonder who the new student is, will it be a girl, or a boy?' I thought.
'Are they a meister, or a weapon-?' I wanted to continue my trail of thought but was jerked away from them.
I soon realized we were already in Stein's classroom, and at our seats;
Soul kept repeating my name, a worried look occupied his face.
'He looked so cute when he was worried...'
'WAIT WHAT?!'
'No! No! No! No! No! Why did I even think that?! Were not even together!'
'N-Not that I want to be! I mean he's my-'
"MAKA!"
"Ah-! O-Oh Soul. I'm sorry, I was kinda lost there..."
He raised his brow at me, not sure how to respond.
I let out a sigh of relief as he smirked, mumbling something about 'Talking to yourself wasn't cool.'
He then turned back to the board.
The class started off normally,
Professor Stein rolled in on his wheel chair, then falling to the ground after missing the jump.
'The usual.' I thought.
But with a quick grunt of effort he was back on his feet.
"In today's lesson, we will be learning why dissection is important; Starting with-"
Class droned on,
Though all I could think about was, why I had thought of Soul in that sort of way.
'I mean I know I like him but, I don't lo-'
Suddenly there was a knock at the door;
Causing me to jump a bit.
As the door opened Azusa walked in.
I raised a curious eye brow, "Azusa...?" I mumbled.
"-And that's why we dissect things." Stein ended his, oh-so-very pointless lecture.
He then turned to glance at Azusa, and spoke with a bored tone.
"Azusa."
"Stein, this is a new student Neeko Shay." She said, as she fixed her glasses.
The boy glanced up as Azusa said his name.
'Wow...'
