"Ugh," she stepped up to the doors of the academy and dried her shoes off, somewhat, "I can not believe my parents would do this to me. 'Sorry, Sweetie, but your father and I are going to be traveling around places, now that you've discovered the treasure,'" she said, mocking her mom's time as he stepped in through the doors, where she saw students running through the halls without a care in the world. Her face showed that she was upset, with a little bit of confusion mixed in because she didn't know where she was supposed to go.
"Huh?" a boy with three white stripes in his hair entered just behind her on a hovering skateboard. He put the skateboard away and his two handguns transformed into humans. The three of them stepped up to her, not trying to, but came off as intimidating.
"Kid-kun, I've never seen her before!" Patty exclaimed as she circled around examining her.
"What? The DWMA isn't accepting new students right now, though. Surely she's been here, we've just never seen her..." Liz replied in confusion.
"But, look at her. She's got orange hair, light pink eyes... How could we have not seen her?" She wasnt sure how to react to these people, so she was slowly backing away. Kid continued anyways, "Are you a new student?"
Liz interrupted with a slap to his up arm, "Lord Death isn't accepting any new students right now, I told you!" she said with confidence, and some attitude. "However..." Liz stepped forward even more to get a closer look at her. "I like her." It momentarily stunned her for a second, but she quickly got over it because of the next sentence that came out if Liz's mouth. "Her style is great! So simple, but it's still gorgeous on her! A plain red Pete coat with black leggings and short cut boot! Adorable!"
What the heck? she thought to herself, as Liz went on about her clothes. Why are they smothering me so much? instead of questioning all the possible questions about Liz and Patty, she turned her attention towards Kid. "Yes, I am a new student. Do you know where I'm supposed to go?"
Liz and Patty stepped back. "New student? Now?" Liz asked. "Hmph. She must be a special one. It's the middle of a term." she said with a smirk.
Patty jumped forward and grabbed her arm. "We can take you to the Death Room right now!" she exclaimed with a grin. She tried to shake Patty off, but her grip was too strong, so she just went with it.
Wait a minute. Did she say the Death Room? Am I being sentenced to death or something here? then she took a look around. The corridors of the building seemed so playful to her, she couldn't help but be excited to see where she was going.
"But the way," Kid asked as he walked along the left side of her, "what's your name? I'm Death the Kid."
She just slightly gasped when she heard that. Death the Kid... I've heard Mom and Dad talk about him before... A Shinigami? Or... going to be a Shinigami? something along those lines, I know it... "Akane. Akane Sakura," she responded. Not too long after, they had arrived in the Death Room. "...huh?" Akane was shocked to see that the Death Room was a basic room, with cloud-filled walls and a tall, black figure with a cartoonish mask.
"Ah! Are you the long awaited Akane Sakura?!" the figure greeted. "I'm Lord Death! Nice to meet you!" he stuck out his huge comical hand, and Akane, although obviously uncomfortable, shook it out of courtesy. "That over there is Professor Stein," he gestured over to a man in a white lab coat and a screw through his head, who waved back, "and that over there is Spirit." he gestured to a red haired man in a suit.
"Yo," Spirit greeted as he casually walked over to her with his hands in his pants pocket. "So you're the so-called Dual-Soul?" he smirked. "I've only ever heard rumors about monsters like you."
Lord Death gave him a Shinigami chop. "Sorry about... Spirit, just in general." he said with a disappointed tone.
"It's okay, I don't know what you hit him for..." she said in a low, uncomfortable voice. She glanced over at Spirit, who was sulking in the corner. Seriously? she thought. 'Monster'? How mean. Unaware of it herself, Akane wore a pouting face.
"Shinigami-sama!" A girl in a skirt with a black cardigan and a boy with white hair walked into the room.
"Maka-chan!" Spirit jumped up from his isolated corner to greet her. "How has your day been going?! Do you want some lunch?! I haven't eaten all day, but you can have my lunch!" He exclaimed, and he showcases his lunch box. However, Maka turned her head the other way and ignored him. He had jumped to try and hug her, but ultimately failed and ended up falling face first into the floor.
"Anyways, Shinigami-sama, Sid-sensei told me and Soul to come and pick up a new student. Sakura, Akane?" Maka's eyes shifted to the girl standing next to Kid. She walked over with a grin on her face to greet her. "Are you Akane?" She held out her hand for a shake, and she shook it. "I'm Albarn, Maka, and this is my weapon, Soul. I help you get comfortable with this school!"
"Ah, yes. Akane-kun, Maka-chan and Soul-kun will show you around the school and help you get settled in. Is that alright? They're excellent students! Maka it the highest score for one of the most important exams earlier this year! And Soul, well... he didnt do as great."
"Oy, oy! I didn't agree to showing her around. I came to pick her up, that's it." Soul interrupted, before Lord Death revealed the embarrassment of when Soul tried to cheat on a test.
Maka sighed, "Jeez, Soul, can't you just show a little interest in something I think is fun?"
"Showing a new kid around is fun to you? That's almost as boring as reading." Soul replied in a monotone. "Sid-sensei just said to bring her back to class, not give her a tour. That's all you, Maka."
She rolled her eyes but brushed it off. "Anyways, we can bring back to the EAT class now, Akane." Maka said politely.
Without saying anything, Akane walked over to Maka and Soul.
"Wait, Father, she just transferred here and you're putting her in the EAT class? Why don't you put her in the NOT class?"
The three students stopped in their tracks, right before they exited the room.
They all turned their heads slightly waiting for the answer to the question no one else thought no ask.
"She's special. She needs Sid-sensei as her teacher." Lord Death responded calmly.
"Uh, I don't need special treatment, I can go in a beginning class!" Akane said, looking worried.
"Don't worry about it! It's for the safety of the kids in the NOT class, Aka-chan."
The students all shrugged their shoulders and went back to class.
"Stein," Spirit inquired after they left the room, "why is she so dangerous? Are the rumors I've heard true?"
In response, Stein cranked the screw that went through his head. "I'm not sure about all of them, but one thing is for sure: She and that extra soul she's got; they're always resonated. If it's activated in accident, there really is no telling at all what she could do. The damage could range from a light scratch to a neighbor in class or blowing up the school. But that all depends on what type of weapon she has, and how strong she is. If she isn't strong enough to control it," Stein blew smoke out of his mouth, "she could become stronger and worse than Kishin Asura himself."
