Okay, this is my first fanfic, so please be nice! I'm planning to put at least 8-16 chapters in my story. NOTE: I do not own Soul Eater or any of the characters. However, I do own the storyline. Also, this is based entirely on the anime, not the manga. Sorry that things will start really slowly.

Chapter 1: Prologue

It was a month after Asura had been defeated. All the repairs of Death City and the DWMA were completed, and everything was back to normal. Maka, Kid, Black Star, Soul, Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki were still attending the DWMA. Everyone had healed from battling Asura and started going on missions again. Everything was normal. Well, kind of normal.

Even though everything looked fine, there were a few different things. The DWMA received a renovation, including new rooms to teach different abilities. Several rooms all purpose rooms were made. The Kishin soul was buried in the Death Room. Lastly, Lord Death became more cautious about leaving his mirror.

Maka, Kid, Black Star, and their weapons were all promoted to two-star meisters and weapons for defeating the Kishin Asura. Maka had hosted a party at her and Soul's apartment in honor of the defeating of Asura and the seven's promotion.

The seven kids were celebrating until Blair came in, looking for a bath partner. As always, the cat's towel 'accidentally' fell off, and the others would react as normal. Soul and Black Star would get a nosebleed. Kid would look disgusted and suggest that the cat put something decent on. Liz, Tsubaki, and Maka would look surprised. Patty would simply giggle.

Crona and Ragnarok had gotten used to the DWMA lifestyle. Crona was able to adjust quickly to being a student, and fit in perfectly, considering everyone's unique and strange personalities. Also, everyone else had gotten used to Ragnarok randomly popping up out of Crona's back. The demon swordsman had soon come out of his shell and become more social, and made more friends.

Azusa, Marie, and Justin Law were still staying at the Academy for some reason. It was odd that they would stay even after Asura was defeated. That was another thing that Kid was confused about. However, Joe Buttataki had left.

Mifune had joined the DWMA. He was now a teacher, and was quickly accepted into the Academy. Angela the witch was still a child, and the DWMA also took her in, with Kim's regeneration wavelength deterring her sway of magic. Everyone now knew Kim was a witch, but they still considered her their friend.

Medusa's soul was now buried in the Death Room. After she came back to life and was defeated once again, Lord Death couldn't risk anything. He took the soul even though Medusa was surely gone for good. The only way she was able to survive being killed once was because of Asura's madness wavelength.

Arachne's soul was consumed by Asura, for which everyone was glad about. Maka, Kid, and Black Star couldn't be less delighted at that, for they could still remember Maka's first encounter with the witch. The scythe meister could still recall when she had to be placed in a coffin.

Black Star and Tsubaki had just gotten back from their visit to Tsubaki's home in Japan. Black Star had been training with Tsubaki, and gotten significantly better, though he still retained his annoying personality. Now, he was at the dojo, once again muscle conditioning. Tsubaki was with him, also training to become stronger.

Maka and Soul were enjoying their day off of school. It was spring break that week, and Maka was reading in the library while Soul was sitting next to her, clearly bored. Often, Soul would check for books and read them, and sometimes he would simply sit by the window.

Liz and Patty were out shopping, picking out clothes. Even without Kid with them, the two sisters knew to pick clothes that were at least mostly symmetrical and both sisters would wear. They wondered why Kid had told them he was going to the DWMA.

Kid was walking to the Death Room. Something bothered him. A mist floated inside his head and soul. There was a mystery enveloping the Kishin Asura, something that Kid was sure about. The young reaper was so preoccupied; he forgot to inspect his mansion's symmetry twice in one week. Stein and Maka had even commented on wisps of fog floating around his soul lately, ever since Asura was defeated. The death god was so absorbed in this. Even Black Star had noticed him acting strangely. Still, there was something oddly familiar about that Kishin. The grim reaper realized there was a cloud surrounding his memories.

Kid continued walking through the winding halls of the DWMA. He gave a mental note to himself that if he ever ran the Academy, it would receive another renovation to make the school easier to navigate. Pushing open the glass doors to the Death Room, Kid saw the large expansion of the cartoony room. Closing the door silently, he noticed the fact that it seemed to stand on its own. The reaper walked under the many arches made to look like guillotines. Observing the large Death Room, Kid thought there was a possibility that the room was an endless space, as he only saw crosses as far as the eye could see. There were windows that seemed to simply float in the air, surrounded by swirling clouds on the ground and in the air.

When Kid finally reached the platform where his father stood, he froze. What was the young death god going to say? His father was standing in front of the giant mirror, apparently watching the outside world with it. Since Lord Death's soul was bound to Death City, the most he could do was watch. Unless the reaper used BREW to make Death City mobile. Kid was then reminded of that time when his father literally elevated the whole game.

Kid finally gained enough courage to ask his father straight out about Asura. There could be no holding back; Kid had to plain ask Lord Death about this. Walking quietly to behind him, he spoke up.

"Honorable Father, something has been bothering me," he said. Kid wanted to know the truth; he simply knew something was wrong. He simply could tell something was bothering Lord Death

"Ooh Kid you've gotten the habit of sneaking up on me!" exclaimed Lord Death in his usual cheerful squeaky voice. For some reason, Kid was even more annoyed at that voice than normal. His father had adopted that voice so young children would not be scared. It was indeed rather hard to run an academy without any students, but that voice still got rather irritating. "So why are you so gloomy now, Kiddo?"

Kid sighed. Sometimes, the young reaper wished his father would not call him 'Kiddo'. He would not avoid his point like his father always did. He questioned, "Is there something about Asura that I don't remember? After he was defeated, I've gotten a strange feeling about him."

"Well Kid, I would like to tell you now, but we will have a very important guest," replied the reaper. "I am expecting them soon." Lord Death had already gone back to watching his mirror.

"Are you just avoiding my question again, father?" asked Kid. "This is really worrying me. It can't be a coincidence that I started feeling strange right after we defeated Asura." The young reaper remembered when his father continually put off telling everyone about BREW and Eibon.

"Now Kid, I plan to tell you, but I want our guest to help explain. Our guest will arrive very soon, Kiddo, so I will tell you in no time."

Kid was taken aback. Who was visiting Death City? Who was close enough to Lord Death to have a suitable amount of knowledge about Asura? As he walked out of the Death Room, the reaper was quite preoccupied. And did he catch the scent of something odd? Something was definitely off. Kid could just tell if something was off because of his OCD.

When the reaper was walking back out of the DWMA, he passed the library. Greeted as normal, Kid met Maka and Soul. Trying to act as normally as possible, Kid gave a slight smile and waved.

The young reaper saw Black Star and Tsubaki walk out of the dojo on his way home. Despite Black Star's attempts to have a duel with him, Kid left with Tsubaki trying to calm down the dark assassin.

Liz and Patty were waiting for him at Gallows Mansion. Kid's home was a large mansion, resembling the DWMA's appearance. There were many skulls decorating the gates and front of the mansion. Carrying several shopping bags, the sisters were the only ones to notice that something was up with Kid.

"Hey Kid, is something bugging you?" asked Liz. She could always tell what Kid was thinking, or at least if he was thinking about something.

"I'm fine, Liz," responded Kid. But in truth, he wasn't. Walking up to his room, the reaper sunk into a chair, holding his head. He was deep in thought about Asura.

Maybe the Academy library would hold more information. There was a small possibility that one of the books could say something about Asura. Kid once again stood up and walked downstairs again. He still thought about this guest. Lord Death obviously knew something about Asura, yet wanted a guest to help explain. Who could be close enough to Lord Death and him to know or say anything?

"Liz, Patty, we're going to the Academy," he said curtly.

"Kay!" Patty called. She and Liz joined Kid, walking next to him as they returned to the Academy.

Black Star and Tsubaki were returning to their loft.

Black Star noticed Kid walking with Liz and Patty. He shouted, "Hey Kid, where are you going?"

"The Academy library. I want to do a bit more research on Asura. Something is still bothering me."

"Could we join you?" asked Black Star and Tsubaki. The reaper simply nodded, and the two changed directions, walking with the three already going to the library.

The five noticed that Maka and Soul were still in the library. Maka said, "Hey guys. Why are you here?" Her cheerful disposition was something everyone enjoyed.

"I'm researching Asura, the Kishin. Something has still been bothering me about it," Kid answered. He walked to several shelves, pulling out books and skimming through them. He continued searching for information while Liz and Patty explained Kid's reasons.

Little did they know, Lord Death was watching this through his mirror. He thought about how Kid would react to what he was going to be told. Maybe his son was old enough. Lord Death did know that Kid would have to be older than last time. He remembered what had happened before.

FLASHBACK

Many years ago

"Father, how can it be?" a voice asked. The voice was talking to Lord Death. "How can that be true? I don't believe it…" Wide, teary eyes stared up at the grim reaper.

Lord Death had just told that person. The person that called him Father. This child was so young at the time. So very young. At least, for a grim reaper

"I'm sorry… I know that the truth hurts," Lord Death said. How else would he tell the truth? It was harder raising this child than the first one. Maybe he should have waited until this child was older. This child was simply too young. Lord Death knew now. He should have waited longer to tell the truth. So much to say; but as a child, it was harder to handle the truth. If only Lord Death hadn't learned that the hard way.

Tears dripped down. This child simply was too young. "Father, is it really true? How could that really happen?"

This was his child… his responsibility… his daughter.

FLASHBACK END

"This will hurt him, but it will just have to be for the best. I need her to help me."

Meanwhile, a girl was standing on a floating shadow outside Death City. She observed the city, noticing how much it had changed in 80 years. It would be a pleasure to see Kid again. Those were the thoughts running through her mind.

The most prominent parts of her appearance were the lines around her head and the skull shaped rings on her middle fingers. She smiled and chuckled. "It's been so long."

Sorry I was so vague! This is the first chapter. Just move on to the next chapters for more details.

Please continue to read through, and please review!
