Hi everyone~ This is my second Soul Eater fanfic, and this time, it's not just a bunch of random one-shots :D After watching a lot more episodes of the anime, I finally got the perfect idea for a full-on story :D
Now, let's get one thing straight here- This is a KidXOC fanfic. I have put my OC's through many mary-sue tests and each one they score between 10-15, so they aren't sues. I just wanted to get that clear. If you have problems with OC pairings, turn back now, because there's quite a few OC pairings in this and I don't want to be bitched at for it. OC couples are the easiest for me to write- deal with it.
Also- I know Kid's a shinigami and all, but I have no idea if he's immortal or not. If he is, then oh well. In my fic, he isn't. If he isn't anyway... then I'm doing something right xD
Now, some of this story will be the same as a canon, but since I'm adding three of my own characters, I'm changing the story-line a little bit, and I'm starting at the part where Kid's first day at the academy. GOT IT? OKAY GOOD!
Pairings for this fic: Mainly KidXOC, as well as some LizXOC, MakaXSoul, Black*StarXTsubaki, and minor BlairXOC. I know most of you would prefer to wait and figure it out yourselves, but I just want to warn you.
OC information is on my profile. I own nothing from Soul Eater- just my little OC's. NOW TO SHUT UP AND LET YOU READ!
Tears gathered in her eyes.
"Kid," She whispered, her hands interlocked and resting on her chest. A single tear rolled down the one side of her face, and she held back a choking sob. He looked so fragile. He looked like he was dying. Was he going to make it? He was immortal, wasn't he?
No. He was just like any other person. He could feel the pain. He could bleed through even the tiniest cut. He could die just like any other person. He may be a shinigami, but that didn't make him immortal.
She wiped the tears that were about to fall down her face with the back of her wrist. He was lying on the bed, cuts and bruises all over his face. His arms were covered with bandages, and though his hospital gown covered it, his stomach and chest were covered with stitches.
It was her fault. It was all her fault. She was selfish, oh so selfish. She was foolish to think that anyone like him would ever love someone like her.
She wasn't as beautiful as other girls. She didn't have beautiful curves like his partners, Liz and Patty. She didn't have beautiful, managable hair like Tsubaki, and she wasn't as smart as someone like Maka. Her bangs were cut unevenly, being parted to cover hald of her right eye to hide her scar. Her fingers carefully traced over the fleshy mark- the mark that made her unsymmetrical.
Choking sounds escaped her lips as she held back a sob. He saved her. He sacrificed himself for her. He pushed her out of the way to take the hit. Why would he do that for her? She was asymmetrical garbage to him.
Yet, she loved him.
I didn't deserve it... I should be the one in the hospital bed, her thoughts said. Her tears finally escaped her eyes, and they trickled down her face in such a sloppy act. She cried into the bed, her head buried in her arms just next to his chest. It was all her fault. He could die, and it would be her fault.
It was gonna be her fault that Death the Kid was going to die.
Though, his soul was still tucked away inside of him safely, as if it had no intention of leaving quite so soon. He wasn't awake on the outside, but on the inside, he was dreaming- not the kinds of dreams of peace and imagination, but mere flashbacks. His mind was replaying such high moments he had had in his life- the day he turned nine, when his age was no longer symmetrical. He threw such a tantrum that day. The day he met Patty and Liz, and the three of them became partners. Theday he attended the academy, the day he met Soul and Black Star.
The day he met her.
Lord, she was asymmetrical, but she... she seemed so perfect at the same time. He could see the meister's soul, her beautiful soul. She may have been asymmetrical on the outside, but her soul was the most beautiful piece of symmetry he had ever seen in a person. She was almost perfect. Almost.
Dai. Dai. Dai.
Her name rang in his head. Images of her face continued to show again and again in his head. Some had her smiling. Some had her frowning. Some had her laughing. Some had her crying. In some, she was herself. In some, she was someone else- someone she used to attract him and win his affections.
Damn, he was blind. Now, he may never get to see her symmetrical smile again. For now, he could only look back in the memories- starting with the day his golden eyes met her icy blue ones.
As Dai sobbed, she started to flashback to that very same day, from the time she was walking with Eiji to the academy.
Flashback
"Eiji, come on! We are already three hours late!" Dai called out, tapping her foot impatiently. Her bag hung over her shoulder. and her hair was done as neatly as it could. The wavy-ness of it made it almost impossible for it to be perfect, but she carefully placed a black headband in it anyway, deciding to hell with it.
"Oh, you worry to much Dai," a deeper voice called from the upstairs. She looked up, seeing a boy walk down the stairs. He was inches taller then she was, and instead of messy blonde hair, he had sleek brown hair that was tied back into a low ponytail. His brown eyes gleamed as he casually walked down the steps as if he were in no hurry whatsoever. She huffed, crossing her arms.
"Come on, it's our first day, and we are already going to get into a bunch of trouble!" Eiji laughed.
"Oh come on, relax. We are going to be new there- they aren't going to care. They will think we just got lost or something."
"Oh yeah, because anyone can get lost for THREE HOURS!" Dai screamed. Eiji let out another laugh, feeling something brush against his legs. He looked down, seeing a cat with dark blue fur, wearing a witch hat on his head. The cat looked up at him, and began to speak.
"Where are you all going? Is it the first day already?" It said, bringing one of it's back paws to scratch the back of it's ear. Eiji nodded.
"Sadly, yes. Sorry Asobi," The teenager said, giving the talking cat a scratch on the back of his ear before walking the rest of the way down the stairs. The cat watched him go down, his other form starting to take place.
"Oh, but you CAN'T leave me here all day! I'll get lonely," He said. The cat was no longer feline, but now a skinny human with blue hair, wearing white and black, the witch hat still upon his forehead with his blue cat ears sticking out of them. The neko, Asobi, fallowed Eiji down, pouting the whole way. Dai looked at him, frowning as well.
"I'm sorry Asobi, but only meisters and weapons can attend the DWMA," She said. Asobi's pout grew, now putting a fist on his hip as it stuck out a little.
"But what will I do all day?" The neko asked, his tails swishing around behind him. Dai shrugged, grabbing Eiji's arm and yanking him out the door. Eiji barely had time to grab his backpack and toss it over his shoulder.
"Go for a walk or something! Maybe you'll find another freaky magical cat," She called back in a hopeful tone, closing the door behind her. Asobi huffed, crossing his freckly arms together.
"I'm not THAT freaky," the neko muttered, turning around to walk back upstairs. Maybe he could finish his cat nap with the two siblings now gone.
"Hey, be easy will you?" Eiji said, trying to pull his arm out of his little sister's grip. Dai smiled.
"Nope," Dai said in a fake cheerful tone. She smiled widely, feeling the rays from the super creepy sun warm her pale face. Eiji sighed, knowing he wasn't going to win against his little sister.
"After school today, we should practice a little bit. I feel like my shots are starting to get a bit sloppy," Dai said, finally releasing her brother's arm. Eiji rubbed his wrist, trying to get the blood to flow back into it after her insane death grip.
"Just a little, but you're doing well,"
"Doing well isn't enough. If I am ever going to turn you into one of Death's weapons, I'm going to need to be perfect," she said. Eiji nodded, looking straight ahead. His sister worked hard as a meister, wanting to turn him into a weapon for Lord Death himself. Of course, she always needed to work on her aim, and they couldn't preform their signiture move right. Either she would miss, or their souls wouldn't match each other's soul wavelengths. Usually, it would just end in disaster.
Eiji sighed, shaking his head of the thoughts. This was his sister's chance to get better. He knew that for sure.
"What in the hell?" Eiji said, looking up the large flight of stairs. The Academy was up at the very top, and it seemed a bit small from the bottom of the stairs. Dai looked up in admiration. She was finally there.
And damn, it was a large building.
"Damn, do we have to walk up all these stairs?" Eiji complained, looking up the steps, his neck craning to see up the stairs, his brown eyes studying the many details as he could from such a low level. Dai nodded, placing her foot at the first step.
"Well come on. I don't want to be any more late then we already are," She said, starting her long walk up. Eiji groaned, slumping over as he started to walk up as well. His hands buried themselves in his sweatshirts' pocket. Man, this wasn't going to be his day.
Dai, on the other hand, was looking up in curiosity. The large candles that stuck out with large flames, the spikes (one missing the tip for some odd reason), the round black spheres that floated mid-air, using the DWMA to make the face of Lord Death himself. So much was put into the building, she couldn't imagine what the other students and teachers in the academy were like.
Then came the sounds of bullets flying.
"What the hell?" Eiji said, now hovering over his sister. His eyes darted around, making sure it wasn't someone close by. Dai pushed away from her older brother, her eyes looking up. There were many more gun shots coming from the top of the steps, as well as a loud "YAAAA HOO!" echoing out as well. Eiji had a concerned look on his face.
"Dai, maybe it isn't such a good idea-"
"Relax Eiji! It's probably just some of the other students practicing," Dai said excitedly, now starting to run up the stairs, "Come on!" Eiji's eyes widened, and he started to run after his enthusiastic little sister. Man, he did not feel good about this.
Dai started to run faster, ignoring the tiredness in her legs. The gun shots started to die down, and was now replaced with loud screaming.
"AHHH! YOUR SO HEAVY!"
"I CAN'T BE! Maka can swing me around with ease!" Two voices argued like so. Things started to finally come into view as Dai reached the top. Her hands rested on her knees, and she looked up, breathing heavily as she examined. There weren't very much people out. The first thing she saw was a young kid, probably around her age, with spiky blue hair, struggling to pick up a large red and black scythe on the ground. To her surprise, half a body came out of the scythe, spitting up a bit of blood. It was another boy, and he glared over at the blue-haired kid.
"What are you doing forcing your wave length into me? Don't you have any idea how much that hurts?" The white-haired kid shouted.
"Sorry Soul!" He shouted back, still struggling to pick him up. The scythe boy, Soul, became irritated, turning back into a human. His white hair flopped over his head, his red eyes looking the other way. His back was turned to the other kid. Eiji finally caught up at that point, breathing heavily. He glanced around.
"What's going on up here?" He asked. Dai leaned over to him a little, pointing over at Soul and the other kid.
"I think they are students," She said, "The albino kid is a scythe. I watched him turn back into a human,"
"And the other kid?"
"I think he might be a meister, I don't know. He couldn't lift up his friend in his weapon form," Dai answered, watching as the next part began to unfold. Soul spoke first.
"Black Star," He started, "It's over between us." The other kid's eyes widened, a bit of sadness on his face.
"What... What exactly are you saying Soul?" He asked. Soul still didn't look back.
"If we continue like this, I'll end up hating you," He said, a small hint of hurt in his voice, "It's for the best." Dai and Eiji stared at them blankly, as well as three other people- two girls and a man- watched from the side. It was only then when another voice was heard.
"Hey, can I shoot them now?" The voice said. Dai looked over, her eyes widening a bit. She hadn't noticed another boy standing there, two gun being held upside down in his hands. His pinkies were over the triggers, which was quite odd. He gently shook his head, moving his bangs out of his face slightly, his golden eyes looking quite serious at the moment. Then another voice spoke- sounding more like a girl's voice.
"Just wait a second. This is starting to get good," Said one of the guns. Dai's eyes widened a bit more. The gun was a weapon, a student by the looks of it- was the other one a student as well? Her question was answered when there was a slight giggle from the other one.
Does that kid... have two weapons? She thought to herself, not even noticing what was going on between the other two boys.
Eiji felt himself getting a bit uncomfortable when the blue haired kid, Black Star, looked away shyly. There was a thin trail of blood on his face.
"Oh I see. I understand," He started, "But maybe, we can stay friends?" There was a slight pause.
"You IDIOT!" The albino, Soul, called out suddenly. Black Star looked up, seeing his friend starting to run towards him in a weird-like fashion. Then the next part just gets weird.
"Of COURSE we can still be friends! ForEVER!" Soul chanted, exaggerating the 'ever' part. Black Star made the same stupid happy grin, and started to run to his friend in the same fashion.
"Oh SOUL!" He cried out.
"Black STAR!" Soul cried out as well.
"Oh SOUL!"
"Black STAR!"
"Oh SOUL!"
"They need professional help," one of the girls on the sidelines, the one with the ash blonde pigtails, said, a disapproving look on her face. Eiji felt him self sweat drop a little bit, watching as the two finally link arms, pulling themselves into a bro-hug.
God, this scene has yaoi written all over it.
Eiji felt Dai jump when there was a sudden "BANG", and the two huggers were thrown back.
"Oops. Sorry. My fingers slipped," The other kid, right across from the two, said, holding his guns out. Eiji blinked, leaning towards his sister's ear.
"Who's that guy?" His sister shrugged.
"I don't know," She said, focusing a little bit, "But he has two weapons." She was right- she could see two souls, both a light orange color as they resembled two girls- one cheerful, the other one just looking relaxed. His was there as well, light pink with white strips on it representing the strips he had on his own head. If there was one thing she could do right, it was to sense and see souls and their wave lengths- Soul Perception
"Two weapons... that's a lot of work for one guy," Eiji muttered.
"Yes, but it helps me maintain my symmetry," The guy said, his gaze looking over at Dai and her brother. Eiji jumped, while Dai looked right back at him.
"Maintain your what?" She said, while Eiji was trying to figure out how the kid could have heard him at such a low tone of voice. Before the guy could have answered, Black Star and Soul finally did.
"Whoa- There are MORE new kids?" Black Star exclaimed loudly. Soul scratched the back of his head.
"They must not be big-shots. I heard nothing about them," He said. Over on the side, his real meister, Maka, turned to her professor, Dr. Stein.
"Are those the other two kids you were talking about?" She asked. Dr. Stein nodded.
"Yes, the siblings. I believe they came here only recently, and they aren't as skilled as Kid here," Stein said, "The girl, the meister, is a bit clumsy, which is isn't good for critical situations." Maka perked up a bit.
"Another female meister?"
"Yes." Stein replies simply, focusing his attention to Dai and her brother. They were looking around at both sides. Their souls showed that they were a bit anxious, wondering if they had just sucked themselves into a fight. Maka smiled to herself a little, looking over at Dai. Another girl meister in her class- that should be interesting.
"Doesn't matter!" Black Star said, getting into a battle stance, "We can take you on as well! I'm not going to let some other new kids steal my thunder either!" Soul grinned, spreading his feet out a bit. His arm stuck out, becoming the head of the scythe. Eiji paled a bit.
"Oh God... I knew something was going to go wrong today," He muttered, getting ready to transform.
Again, I only own Dai, Eiji and Asobi :3 OC descriptions on my profile. Sorry about the long authors note too! I promise there will be no more that long :D
But as you can tell, this is sorta like a flash back fic, showing you everything that happened before :D So please be patient- you will know what happened to Kid soon enough ;)
Hope you like :D Please review~
