Chapter 1
A Fetch and His Weapons
I could hear the echoing footsteps of our feet as we continued down the pitch black nothingness the only light I could see was the large souls surrounding two of the dearest things to me. It was strange walking not knowing where exactly I was going I was completely dependent on these two beings when it came to this. I stopped short an almost sixth sense was sending me vibes that unsettled me. I relax my eyes naturally, focusing less on my two partners and more on my surrounding. From where we've planned we should have been almost through the alleyway and it was well past dark so the other two wouldn't have been able to see as well as me for once.
"On the roof I'm seeing multiple souls." I whispered I could see the other two quivers with excitement. "Akira...let's go." I said turning to the slightly larger dark blue orb I held my hand out accepting as the soul gradually filled my hand. "Makina stick back and stay safe I'll call you if I need you. Akira what's the fastest way up?" I asked
"Hold on Firo," Akira said the thin light of Akira's soul thinned further and shot out zig sagging what was most likely the side of the building. I jumped up to the first point and quickly found a foot hole. I jumped again each time finding an easy thing to grab on to. I landed on the roof rolling to a stop standing up and adjusted my eyes.
"A witch? We weren't expecting to see one here." Akira whispered but my sensitive ears caught his metallic voice.
"There are more, a large collection of unrested souls. They're the reason we are here." I whispered turning our attention to why we were here.
"Who are you?" A high voice asked she sounded far away so it was the brightly colored soul that marked her as the witch, it was hard to get a firm read of how big her souls was however because it would flicker from her soul protect. My hands tightened on Akira's handle.
"Careful Firo." Akira warned I simply smirked.
"My name is Firo Ambrosia you can give up quietly and make it easier for both of us." I said loudly for her to hear.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I simply closing my shop." She said innocently.
"I know you are a witch! We have been tracking you for over a week." I stated matter of factly. It was a complete lie, but I didn't want to give away my sight it was my only advantage. We were only here to collect a few lost souls not fight a witch, but with that many souls and a witch that person could easily become a kishin egg.
"So you're from the DWMA? You're a little young to be a full miester." She spat her soul flickered angrily. I got in my stance ready for her to attack though I smiled at the assumption.
"No. I have come on behave of the Order of the Fetch to collect the souls that your kishin egg has, to put them to rest. You have disrupted Lord Death's balance so I have come to fix it." I stated my business, I quickly tightened my eyes and focused on the witch's flickering soul a large blast of power blew through the roof and an evil aura appeared as the witch released her soul protect.
"Soul protect deactivate!" She yelled her small flickering soul grew twice the size it was almost as big as the roof we were on. I tightened my eyes further ignoring the large witch soul and focusing solely on her wavelength and resonance. Her body shape appeared from her purple soul, she was slim and tall and she seemed angry. A piece of her soul flew from her hand to form a long spear.
"A Halberd," Akira rang out "She's that harpy bitch Lady Falcon."
"Your weapon has a filthy mouth let me wash it out for you." Lady Falcon screeched she wasted no time to attack she ran with surprising speed towards me. I blocked her attack with a practiced hand, I dodged the spear and slashed with Akira, his long katana blade sliding in between the halberd heading straight for her it almost seemed to easy. With sudden strength the witch swung her spear I had no choice but to move back pulling Akira to dodge the deadly spear. "Very good, I commend you fetch you are very skilled with a blade." She screeched coming in for another attack, her soul pulsating with an unhealthy glow. I gritted my teeth as I blocked a blow and dodged another, this witch was fast.
"-with beating wings." The witch hissed her soul glowed brightly temporarily disorienting my vision. I cursed as I was thrown back hitting my back against the wall. The damn witch was mouthing spells.
"Thanks Akira." I said sarcastically as I slowly got up I swore again as pain laced up my chest as I breathed deeply, broke some ribs.
"Sorry Firo, I didn't notice her mouthing spells. I'll keep an eye out. It's going to be tough to fight her with such a range like that, including getting on the offensive." Akira rang out he sounded upset Akira was very protective of me and he had allowed the witch to attack me. I suddenly felt bad for snapping at him. The hair on the back of my neck bristled sensing danger I dodged quickly rolling to the side as unseen projectiles whistled past my ear a just as suddenly a blinding pain blazed up my back. "Firo!" Akira screamed seeing my getting attacked I got up, my focus had slipped from the sudden pain so I couldn't see anything. I panicked slightly before relaxing my eyes to see my surroundings. Another whistle came this time I was expecting it I quickly targeted the sound where it was coming from turned and deflected it with Akira. Three thin bright emerald lines arched through the blackness, and the sound of three bodies hitting the floor quickly followed.
"Makina!" I shouted with glee, I could recognize that wavelength anywhere. I looked around for any more enemies, the large mass of souls were close. I found and then started after them as it and the witch leaped off the building trying to escape. The kishin egg was slower than the witch so I caught up to it quickly. I managed to block his path and attacked. The kishin egg put up a good fight my shoulder burned and I was tiring fast, I needed to end this fight fast.
"Makina!" I shouted a rustle landed behind me I felt the warmth of Makina's wavelength. "Akira cut the witch off Makina go to!" I felt the weight of Akira's blade leave my hand I backed up searching for the souls of the unrested people. I focused hard feeling the wavelength. I pulled on my own manipulating it to call them using my wavelength as a magnet, the kishin egg was pulled to me. I spun the kishin to the edge, the kishin didn't move most likely petrified from fear.
"Firo the witch!" Makina and Akira shouted I turned around I knocked the halberd a side by sheer luck. Lady Falcon breathed down my face she was an inch taller than I. She seemed just as shocked that I blocked her attack as I was. I quickly grabbed her shirt not wanting her to get away, I manipulated my wavelength to match her own and I repelled her forward into what sounded like a wall.
"Makina transform." I said simply grabbing her hand I quickly felt the light weight of her yew bow weighing my hand slightly. I quickly threw my wavelength at the witch catching her in a sealing circle commonly used by the Fetch. I manipulated my almost exhausted body and wavelength into a silver arrow pulling on Makina's string
"The Kishin will rise, Lord Death will fall along with the order, and you will die. You will fail Firo Ambrosia... come with us fetch, with your power that you'll inherit. The others will grant you safety along with your weapons and you will not be harmed. I know what will come to pass...I can see the future" Lady Falcon breathed fear shaking throughout her voice.
"Lady Falcon you have been making kishin eggs and unbalanced the world. As a Fetch and part of the order I sentence you to death.
"Firo!" Akira shouted pushing me out of the way my focus shattered the circle evaporating.
"Akira!" I heard Makina scream I panicked drawing on my wavelength and then passed out exhaustion sweeping through me.
I was lying on the cold ground I was bruised and my breath was shaky from the wind being knocked out of me.
"Akira!" I shouted remembering why I was on the ground; however there was grass underneath me. I tried to stand up but my arm gave out. "Where are we?" "Why would a roof have grass on it?" I thought
"Don't strain yourself." Makina said softly she helped me up.
"Where's Akira?" I asked again panic starting to grip me
"I'….m…. I'm …. Fine." Akira said he sounded far away and his voice tight with pain.
"Where are we?" I asked again. "Where's the witch?" my stomach fell as I figured most of it out. No one answered but I had a feeling Akira and Makina where having a silent conversation. I could smell the salty air of the ocean.
"I think we are in Greece?" Akira said I could almost imagine him looking around.
"But that's impossible fetch's can only travel with their keys no one can do that except with extremely larges souls, Father and Lord Death's souls are the only ones capable." I thought to myself Makina and Akira were clearing thinking the same thing.
"Let's go home Firo." Makina said soothingly.
"Home?" I thought "After what just happened, I can't…. I couldn't... I don't think I could face father."
A hand grabbed my own it was large and rough, Akira's hand. I was still shaking, I hadn't realized it until Akira's hand steadied my own.
"Come on Firo. Let's go home." Akira whispered, I nodded slowly and pulled the chain that was worn around my neck. I felt for the familiar key, but it was hard to do with my shakiness. I shook my head trying to calm my body down. Akira's hands placed the key in my hand, I turned the other way hearing my hair swish from my movement. Akira made a small sound of sadness, I felt bad but put it aside. I was so exhausted home sounded great and shower sounded even better. I found the key's energy activated it with my almost drained soul and turned it walking through the portal it created.
- Akira Hiragana-
"I'm coming in!" I announced opening the door to Firo's bathroom the air was hot and steamy from the running shower. I put the white fluffy towel on the the porcelain counter. Firo turned off the shower walking to the steamed glassed door. I opened it looking away for privacy holding the towel out for my miester.
"Thanks Akira." He said he walked past me the towel wrapped around his slender waist. He wrung out his long silver hair before letting it flow like liquid silver to his mid back. He stretched his body out I could see the water dripping down his strong pale back. His long tan arms stretched to the ceiling, the long white scars going from his left arm to his back almost glowing in the candle light. "That shower felt great!" Firo said his eyes closed breathing deeply he turned walking out of the bathroom. I followed swallowing a lump that rose in my throat as I watched him walk slowly to his closet.
"I... I left some clothes on the chair in there!" I said struggling to keep my voice even lately its been harder and harder to look at Firo without a burning feeling in my chest. I flicked my irritatingly long black hair out of my eyes. He nodded walking into his closet there was the sound of shuffling and he came out wearing emerald silk pants. I swallowed another lump as I took in his strong pale white chest, his 6 pack flexing as he breathed deeply again. He ran the towel through his hair a few times before drapping it over the chest at the foot of his bed. Firo walked past me the smell of thyme coming as he did so. I grabbed his arm stopping him from walking out.
"Firo you need to rest, your body and soul is exhausted." I said pulling him to me.
"I need to tell Father what happened." He stated I looked into his hazy emerald eyes they were hard and distant looking he had strong pointed features with high cheek bones and a strong jaw.
"Makina and I'll take care of that. You need your rest." I said pulling him to his bed throwing the silver covers over. He sighed heavily sitting down on the bed. "I'll bring you something to eat once you get some rest." I said he laid down growling slightly but he grabbed the blankets and threw them over his exposed stomach, his chest still open in the air. The silver chain with the bronze old fashion key laying by his heart. Images flash of the first time I met the fetch the first time I had seen the true power of the key he had.
*flash back*
There was the smell of ash and burning flesh in the air. There was the loud sound of shouting as people ran to circle me. I opened my starling blue eyes lifting the yew bow pulling back on my blue soul wavelength arrow. I let one fly while dodging a man with a sword I hit him with the bow on the back. I backed away from the gang of men. It was the year 1200 in Fudeal Japan it was so long ago that I don't even remember where we were.
"Makina, I think it is your turn for a try." I said dropping the yew bow that quickly changed a dark green it morphed into my sister her long blonde hair blowing in the wind.
"It is them... its the Hiragana twins! There's no denying it know kill them!" One man shouted. Suddenly there was huge flash and Firo had appeared his hair was shorter than only reaching to his shoulders. He wore a sliver sleeveless tunic with a white cloak wrapped around him, his scars were fresh and a lot bigger and more noticeable because they had just happened a few years before. His eyes were hard and cold with their usual haziness clouded them. He looked at the group of men with an almost curious look on his face. Probably wondering what they looked liked, he threw something at the group creating a barrier later I realize it was the bronze key. The young man started muttering something in what sounded like Latin, a strange tongue to us at the time. The men screamed some running away others falling to their knees.
Firo raised his hands towards the men his huge silver soul appearing the key zoomed back to Firo changing into a large wooden staff with strange glowing gold markings on it.
"You have been found guilty of crimes that are punishable by death by the Order of the Fetch. You have unbalanced the world that Lord Death keeps with your killing and rampage." he said he slammed his staff on the ground and the men turned to ash the ashes of the men blew towards Firo who lifted his staff and the ashes were absorbed into the staff.
He turned to us giving the two of us a hard stare.
"I've been ordered to take your two souls as well." He said coldly lifting his staff, but he stopped.
*End of Flashback*
I blinked back into the real world I leaned onto the bed post for support.
"Akira... are you alright?" Firo asked I looked at him smiling slightly.
"Yeah I'm fine sorry. I'll go get Makina and we'll explain everything." I said turning and walking out of Firo's room.
"I don't know what I would do without you Akira." I heard Firo mumble sleepily I smiled closing the door to his room, turning and heading towards my twin sister's room.
"Makina may I come in?" I asked cautiously in case she was still sleeping. I knocked on the oak door again. I heard a faint 'come in' so I walked into my twin's room. Makina was in her bathroom she was pinning her long blonde hair up in a tight bun. She had changed her clothes to a light blue tank top and black jeans.
"Firo's father wants to talk to both of us before dinner." I said quietly flicking my black hair out of my eyes. She nodded understanding I turned around on my heels to leave.
"It's not your fault Akira." I froze upon hearing those words. "Firo told me what happened-" She continued.
"I should have seen her, I should have been more observant than I was. I could have done more." I muttered quietly cutting her off
"Firo doesn't blame you in fact he blames himself for letting everything happen." She said I could hear her footsteps coming closer. I turned suddenly to face her, she stopped from my sudden movement.
"A weapon is supposed to protect their miester-"
"And you protected him from the kishin, almost killing yourself in the process!"
A knock interrupted our arguing the door open it was the butler bowing for interrupting us.
"The Grand Fetch is ready to see you." He spoke quietly afraid to interrupt us he walked away quickly. Makina nodded for us to go and I did followed her.
- Makina Hiragana-
I walked into the large hallway where the butler lead us to first my head hurting from the too tight bun, Akira was right behind me. Firo's father was standing in front of a large mirror his long white hair almost touching the floor. His gold colored robes were crisp and clean and the large key of the Grand Fetch hung on his silver chain. I could see my reflection in the polished mirror respectfully, we bowed and he acknowledged us.
"I told Firo that he needed sleep and I would come up later and take him some food he needed the rest." Akira reported Firo's father smiled nodding.
"Sir-" I started but the Grand Fetch cut me off with the wave of his hand.
"I know I have feared that his powers would awaken soon." He said as he focused heavily on the mirror as if expecting something to come on.
"But Grand Fetch, what powers?" Akira asked the same question that I wanted to ask.
"The same as mine, there must be someone to take my place when I'm gone. Although I expected it would take longer for them to come." Firo's father admitted "has he forgotten again, I swear his memories going faster than mine." He mumbled quietly looking at the large grandfather clock and than back at the mirror.
"Firo's souls growing?" I asked somehow that notion seemed almost impossible.
"Ahhh. Here we go!" The Grand Fetch said as the large mirror rippled as if it was water a large figure loomed on the other side the figure was in a large room with crosses surrounding him a man stood next to him with shaggy red hair.
"Mitas, it sure has been a looooong time." The figure said turning around the voice was almost cartoony. Akira's and my eyes widened as we both realized just who we were looking at.
"Lord Death!" Akira squeaked
"Death may we enter your room?" Firo's father asked naturally. Lord Death simply nodded the man who was the current death scythe turned as if walking away. The Grand Fetch grabbed our hands and within a blink of eye we were suddenly in a brightly light room that seemed to go on forever.
"Ah so these are his weapons?" Lord Death asked gazing at Akira first than me the death scythe wasn't his name Spirit, looked at me up and down.
"Yes they are, this is Makina," pointing to me "and Akira." Grand Fetch Mitas said; Spirit looked towards Akira with a very serious look on his face.
"Makina, Akira how would you like to try to become Death scythes? It would be a difficult task." Spirit asked us the question shocked us both; death scythes both of us? What where they talking about.
"However since they're two of you, you would have to collect double the regular amount." Lord Death said calmly.
"What!?" Akira asked I was thinking the same thing.
"Why?" I asked
"We are asking you to join the DWMA on the behalf of Firo. We feel it would be a good way for him to practice with other miester." Lord Death said excitedly acting almost like a kid. We both looked at each other and towards the Grand Fetch.
"Is this because we failed yesterday?" I asked Akira shot a glare at me but I had to ask. I knew that's exactly what Firo was going to think. The Grand Fetch paused as if thinking of something to say which meant at least a partial yes.
"I think he would be better if he was to go to the DWMA. He needs a break from the life in the Order, and they have amazing teachers that can help with his growing soul. It will give him a chance to make friends." The Grand Fetch said carefully trying not to show emotions but grief was leaking through his face.
"Actually, the true reason is because I want him to watch someone, it will give him some self-importance so hopefully it won't hurt too much." Lord Death said, it quickly caught Akira's attention I knew he felt partly to blame for this.
"What can we do for you Lord Death?" I asked before Akira would say something stupid.
"You see my son Death the Kid has just arrived about a week ago, I know he can take care of himself but one can never be too sure if you know what I mean. So I would like it if you three could watch out for him and his weapons." He said it seemed like an odd request.
"Is Death the Kid our only mission?" I asked.
"The witch mentioned that a group would destroy the Kishin Ashura." Akira said looking up at the reaper and his scythe.
"My daughter Maka!" Spirit interjected, with amazing speed Lord Death reaper chopped Spirit across the room.
"We don't know for sure if she is the one the witch was speaking of." Lord Death said.
"Who's Maka?" Akira asked breaking his silence.
"Maka is a scythe miester in training, she is quite the talented miester actually. Her and her partner Soul Eater that is. He almost became my death scythe. My son is actually paired with them and another group." Lord Death said.
'Three groups, it certainly would be hard, it would make it less obvious.' I thought. "We'll do it!" I affirmed, Lord Death thanked us and we left the death room.
"Great you can start with a mission of some restless souls that need to be put to rest." The Grand Fetch said.
Sooooooo... what did you think? What did you think of Firo's abilities... the fact that he can see souls is pretty cool... and yay they are going to the DWMA! I'm almost done with that chapter so the update shouldn't take very long...its so awesome! So please rate and review! I'm dying to know what you think of Firo and his weapons... and I'm opened to any suggestions... THANK YOU!
*Update*
Hey! I'm so sorry... *bows repeatedly * I was made aware that there was some major things wrong so I felt like I needed to redeem myself... Hopefully this version is waayyyyyyy better, the last was terrible. I felt like a complete failure re reading it... I now know how Death the Kid feels when Patti mentioned his unsymmetricalness. Anyways how did you like the things I added hopefully it was ok, I wanted to bring some more prespective of Firo, so there you go ^_^.
