Author's Note:

I have to say, I really like the concept of this couple. I think it's adorable. The fact that there are so many stories for this that has characters which happen to be out of character bother me, though. There were a few I liked, and several I didn't. Deciding that I couldn't escape the inevitable, I started this up after the idea had popped into my head.

I hope you enjoy it.

The Detainment of Justin Law:

The Detainment of former Shibusen Death Scythe Alliance Justin Law had been a success.

Master Meister Franken Stein and his weapon partner Death Scythe Marie Mjolnir had face difficulties along the road of hunting down Justin Law, but it had been a success. While they were not able to eliminate him like Lord Death had asked, they were able to detain him in the cells below Death Weapon Meister Academy and were currently setting up an execution date to execute the executioner.

Such was the right thing to do to one who had murdered engineer Joe Buttataki, and then later on his own friend Tezca Tlipoca, right?

"Lord Death, we have Justin Law contained in the third cell down in the lower portion of the dungeon" Professor Franken Stein spoke as he stood in front of the Death God with his regular stoic, bleak, look wearing on his face.

"Oh, that's good~ I am glad that you have finally caught him~" Lord Death spoke, "But why didn't you simply eliminate him like I had asked?~" Inquired Lord Death as he gave his head a comical tilt to the side, an unseen question mark seeming to be lingering over his form.

"We were very close to eradicating him, but he started to retreat into the pages of the book. The most logical thing we could do was capture him and hold him in a cell rather than letting him get away" Exclaimed Stein as his fingers went to rest in his pockets of his stitched lab coat, grazing against a carton of cigarettes that he so desperately believed that he needed. The Professor protracted the small, white, carton of cigarettes from his over-sized pockets and flipped the top of the lid open, using a slender index finger and thumb, retrieving the cancer stick from it's comfortable place in it's box and centering it between his lips. From there he proceeded to light the cigarette with his lighter, replacing both the carton of cigarettes and the lighter back in his pocket to free his hands so that he could once more remove the cigarette in able to let out a puff of smoke.

"Oh~ Well I am glad that you took the measures necessary~" Lord Death stated as he clasped his hands together. "Nevertheless, have you set up an execution date?~" Inquired Lord Death as he folded his hands back into his robes.

Stein shook his head as Marie remained solemnly silent. Justin Law was a dear friend of hers, and she did not wish this kind of fate on him. But what more could she do? Orders from Lord Death were orders- She had no right to disrespect them.

"No, we haven't thought of one yet" Stein said as he shook his head, removing his cigarette from his lips to once more let smoke topple over his bottom lip and wisp up to the ceiling in the form of the Death Mask. How he could do such a thing, nobody happened to be quite sure.

"It would be prudent of you to set one up~" Lord Death stated calmly, clasping his hands together tightly once more.

Marie looked down to the floor of the Death Room, lost in her thoughts as white clouds rolled across the bright blue walls. Her teeth came down to chew slightly on her bottom lip, something seeming to bother her greatly.

Is it bad that I happen to be slightly bothered with how non-challantly Lord Death is taking this? He doesn't seem to care that one of his former, most-devoted, alliances has succumbed to madness. Did Justin's prayers mean nothing to him? Lord Death had seemed apt for letting me go and save Stein when he had turned his own back against the academy and ran off with Medusa. Lord Death seemed apt to let Crona have a second chance, even though Crona had killed hundreds of innocent people. What is so different with Justin Law? Has he done anything to the magnitude of killing hundreds? Perhaps there is something that I don't know. Perhaps I shouldn't ask. It's wrong of me to question the authority of Lord Death- Especially as a beginning teacher.

"Understood" Spoke the Professor as he looked up to the ceiling, the smoke from the end of the cigarette trailing upwards toward the ceiling. His mind seemed to be elsewhere as well- Or he was wearing a bleak look of tiredness. Glasses flashed as he pushed them up the bridge of his nose, watching the final bit of smoke dissolve from the end of his cancer stick before removing it from his lips to signify that he was finished with it.

"Did you find out any other important information while you were out and about?" Lord Death asked, starring at Stein with the expressionless mask, "Perhaps you found out the location of Kid?" Lord Death was anxious. He had not seen his son in a long while and was beginning to worry whether or not he was still alive. Much was expected from him, as he held a great affection and love for his son.

"Kid is still located in the book of Eibon, though the whereabouts of the book are still unknown" Stein replied as he looked back up to the ceiling, his eyes still dull and uncaring.

"Oh . . ." Lord Death stated slowly, the silly sound in his voice being replaced with concern as he starred at the weapon duo in front of him.

Lord Death heaved a sigh and regained his composure, coming back to the regular silly voice that he regularly had.

"Well, nevertheless, I am glad that you have gotten ahold of Justin Law!~" Lord Death stated cheerily, his hands unfolding from his robes once more as they clasped together. "Spirit is going to make sure that none of the students go down into the Shibusen Dungeons, as we are afraid that them doing so would put their lives in danger, but I would like you to inform all of your classes that the dungeons are off-limits" Explained Lord Death, "It's crucial that you let them know this. We don't want to put their lives in danger- You don't know what Justin Law is capable of. After all, he was one of the strongest Death Scythes before he did the old switch-a-roo, who's to say how much the insanity has strengthened him. Under no circumstances are you to allow any student to come across the information that Justin has been detained. Understood?"

"Understood" Both Stein and Marie nodded.

"Are you sure?" Lord Death prodded slightly.

"Positive" Marie nodded, a serious look striking across her face as Stein merely exhausted the rest of the nicotine in his cigarette.

"With that said, have a nice day!~"

The Detainment of Justin Law has been a success.

Now all there's left to do is set up an execution date.

I know that this was a bit slow to get through, but it needed something of a prologue to start it. I really liked how I wrote this, so I can only hope that you enjoyed it as well!~ Nevertheless, until next time!
