I don't own Soul Eater or Naruto.


Tsubaki crept around the DWMA's grand library, trying not to disturb anyone. The well-endowed demon weapon kept her long black hair tied in a high pony tail that swished from side to side. She wore a sleeveless white top with stiches down the middle, blue shorts, and black shoes. Her long legs were covered in unusual black stockings. One was a long and black, while the other appeared to only be several black bands. Her arms were covered in bandages.

She glanced at her not-so-quiet partner who was leading the way, dragging her through the library. In comparison, the 15 year old meister appeared to be trying to get everyone's attention. His spikey blue hair bounced up and down to match his bouncing figure. He wore blue pants, white shoes, a sleeveless white muscle shirt, a long white scarf, and bandages on his arms, and as of now was yelling his head off.

"Hey! Guess who's here! It's me! Black Star! The star of the DWMA!" He yelled.

"Shh…" Tsubaki replied, trying not to attract even more attention, "This is a library, Black Star. We are supposed to be quiet."

"Tsubaki! I can't help being a star! But if we're supposed to be quiet, I guess I can make an exception!" he now whisper-yelled.

Tsubaki guessed that he assumed that his whisper-yelling was quiet and she didn't want to contradict him. She glanced around. Other students were staring from various wooden tables throughout the library with almost an obligatory interest. Black Star, like Tsubaki was a member of the elite meister unit of Spartoi. This commanded an unusual respect from their fellow students. It made Tsubaki uncomfortable sometimes, but Black Star adored it.

Looking at her partner, she couldn't help but marvel about how much he changed. Some people wouldn't notice it, sure. After all, he was still loud and wild, but she did. He seemed more worldly, more understanding; but he never left his optimistic personality. His appearance changed as well, he had more scars. The most distinct scar went through his Star Clan tattoo. A friend of theirs Kim, a pink-haired witch, had offered to heal it. Strangely, Black Star refused. Tsubaki wasn't quite sure why, but she didn't pry. Black Star also had grown taller. He was about her size, now.

They continued their stroll through the enormous library. It was composed of several floors corresponding with the levels of the books. Only certain people were allowed on each level. Most students were only allowed on level one, the ground floor. It seemed enough to Tsubaki. The bookshelves stretched to the ceiling, with a seemingly limitless supply of books. She wondered where all the books had come from. Some had looked like ancient scrolls. If they were so much as touched, they would turn to dust—secrets lost from the world forever. Others were new magazines sometimes featuring DWMA students who participate in other, newsworthy things.

Black Star turned suddenly to an inconspicuous shelf. His grip was now slack on her wrist. Tsubaki bumped into him. He didn't notice. Tsubaki moved to see what he was staring at. It was a scroll wedged on top of a book. He pulled it out. One end had that star symbol of his clan while the other had a symbol the resembled a leaf.

"Let's go have a look, Tsubaki." He said, approaching an unoccupied wooden desk.

She followed. He set it on the table and slowly opened it. She peered over his shoulder and loosened her long black scarf.

"What does it say?" She began, "Does it—"

Tsubaki was suddenly interrupted by a loud quaking noise. Coming from the scroll was a portal, not unlike the Book of Eibon. She suddenly had a very bad feeling. The other students stood at alarm, many already brandishing their weapons. She grabbed Black Star by his white scarf in an attempt to stop him from being sucked in. The only thing the maneuver achieved was sucking Tsubaki in as well.

They fell through a strangely monochrome hole, thrashing and flailing. The shades of gray danced around them. The hole itself expanded after a couple of seconds, revealing a forest landscape bordered by a river. Black Star had already regained control and was falling at a controlled pace. Tsubaki did not. She was falling at an alarming rate. Tsubaki plummeted into a large tree and then it was all black.
