Chapter 1

Maka and Soul

"Maka?" Shinigami-sama prodded my shoulder.

"Hmm?" Was all I could say since I was recovering from my thoughts.

"Like I said, go straight through that door and down the stairs. Your new weapon partner is down there," he pointed at a tall, dark red door with a blood red coloured skull replacing the handle. Noticing my hesitation, he pushed me forward.

Come on Maka, you can do this. Just close your hand around the skull-handle and pull the door open. It's not as if your partner will be a blood-sucking vampire.

I shook the thought out of my head and pulled on the handle, opening the door. I stepped over the door frame and found a long spiral staircase leading down. I looked back and found Lord Death giving me a reassuring smile. I smiled back as he closed the door between us. Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward; going down the staircase. I went around many spirals in the staircase before coming upon another door. A sweet melody was coming from behind the door.

I pushed it open to find a boy playing a sleek black piano. He looked like he was really into the piece he was playing since his body swayed back and forth with the rhythm. He had spiky silver hair that poked out in differant directions, while a yellow headband kept the rest of his hair in place. His black and yellow jumper sagged down to his waist and a white soul was stitched onto the fabric covering his shoulder. He wore deep red trousers that ended just below his ankles where black shoes occupied his feet nicely; glistening every once in a while.

The room that we were stood in had black and red chequered flooring with black walls that had an odd painting every few metres. Red curtains hung from their curtain rails, covering the windows. The only light that I could see was coming from white candles dotted around the room; even though a beautiful chandalier hung from the ceiling.

I shut the door behind me and occupied a seat on a sofa while I waited for the boy to finish his piece.

He glanced my way for a quick second before continuing his melody. At least he's registered my entering.

After a while my eyelids drooped as the tune became a slow lullaby. I went with the tune, humming along; until it finally slowed down and finished.

I opened my eyes to the sound of footsteps. I looked behind and found that the boy was coming over to me. He took a seat on the sofa opposite and smiled, showing off his shark-like teeth.

"Your Maka, right?" His crimson eye's stared into my emerald ones.

I nodded, sticking out my hand. He gladly accepted it and squeezed my palm.

"I'm Soul, your new weapon."

"Hello," I smiled. "What sort of weapon are you?"

"I'm a scythe. Have you handled one of my kind before?" He asked me.

"Sure, I've had many partners such as swords, knives, shuriken..." I wondered off.

Soul looked at me wide eyed. "How come you've had so many?"

"No other weapon has been able to match my wavelength so far, so Lord Death is hoping that you are the one."

"So you've welded other weapons even though they've caused you pain from their wavelength not matching?" He said.

"Yes, I suppose so."

Soul gave me an astonished look, somehow making me laugh.

"Hopefully I'm the one for you then?"

"Hopefully," I replied.

"So, who's house are we going to live in?" He asked out of the blue.

"Huh?"

"You see, my other friends share a house with their partners; so I thought that we could too." He explained.

"Oh, sure, that's fine with me." I said with a nod.

"Since I moved out of my friends house, I currently have no where to live, so..?"

"No." I sighed. "I haven't got a house either since I've only just got out of living with my papa."

"I guess we're in need of an apartment then." Soul stated the obvious.

"Let's go house shopping!"
