Emi's POV

"Mayumi."

"Yeah."

"Weapon form."

"Right."

My partner, also my sister, Mayumi transformed into a bow and arrow and flew into my hands. I smirked and my eyes shone. I yelled as I slashed the kishin's stomach open. He screeched as he turned into black bandages surrounding his soul and disappeared, leaving only the ruby red kishin egg. I let go of Mayumi as she turned back into human form. She smiled as she shoved the egg down her throat and licked her lips. "Sixty-eight kishin souls down, 31 to go. Including the witch soul." I said to Mayumi. She smiled and nodded her head. We walked in silence for the next hour until we reached Death Weapon Meister Academy. After our parents died, Mayumi and I wandered around place to place looking for a home. A couple weeks ago, we heard some kids talking about Death Weapon Meister Academy. Though we had nowhere to stay, we packed up the little things we had and headed out for the DWMA. "There must be like 100 steps!" Mayumi complained. I rolled my eyes.

"Yep, so we better get walking."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"Fine."

We began to climb the stairs and were at probably the 90th step when we heard what sounded like a mini rocket. We turned around and saw a boy with gold eyes and black hair with three white stripes on the left side of his head on some sort of rocket skateboard riding up the stairs. I started running up to the top with Mayumi slowly trailing behind me. Just as Mayumi set foot on the main platform, the boy's rocket board landed on the platform too. I noticed he had two pistols in either hand.

"Who are you two?" the kid asked us.

"Emi." I said as I raised my hand slightly.

"I'm Mayumi, who are you?"

"Death the Kid. But you can just call me Kid."

All of a sudden he threw his pistols in the air and they turned into two girls. "Don't forget to introduce us." The taller girl said. "I'm Liz, and this is my sister, Patty." I nodded my head at them. I stared at Kid for a moment and he stared at me. "You are very symmetrical, Emi." Kid told me. I coughed a little.

"Excuse me?"

"You. You're symmetrical in every way, your hair and clothes. You are incredibly symmetrical. Unlike Mayumi."

I was a little weirded out by his choice of words. I was pretty symmetrical though. My crimson red hair was divided perfectly into two low braids and there was no difference on either side of my midnight purple skinny jeans, black tank top or black converse. And Mayumi, well her hair was black with pink streaks and was put together in a small ponytail on the right, her blue jeans were plain on the right but had a patterned vine of white flowers winding itself around her leg on the other side. Her black t-shirt was plain though. But she was wearing one pink sneaker and one green sneaker. She really wasn't symmetrical at all. "Thank you?" I said to Kid."

"No problem."

"Could you show us to Lord Death's office?"

"Sure. Liz, Patty, you can go on to class."

We walked into the doors and wandered around a little bit until we reached a big red door with a huge brass knob. Kid turned the knob and gestured us inside. "Father? A couple of girls are here to see you." Kid said. Father? Kid was Lord Death's son? Well, I should have seen that coming since his name is Death the Kid. Lord Death turned around and bounced up to us. "Why hello. Who are you girls?" he asked in a voice I didn't picture to come from Lord Death.

"I'm Emi Tsunara and this is my sister Mayumi." I told him.

"Lovely to meet you. What can I do for you?"

"We would like to enroll here." Mayumi said. All of a sudden, man with long red hair came up from behind Lord Death with a huge smile on his face. "If you're going to enroll here, you should be best friends with my daughter Maka!" he said. Lord Death lifted up his hand and karate chopped the man in the head.

"My apologies. So, you wish to enroll here at the DWMA? Well that's no problem. Do you have a weapon or meister?" he asked us.

"I'm a weapon and Emi is my meister." Mayumi stated.

"That's good. Do you have a place to stay?"

"Why?"

"If you don't then we can provide you a place in the dungeons."

"We do." I said quickly. Even though we didn't have a home, I didn't want to stay in the dungeons and I'm pretty sure Mayumi didn't either. "Okay then. I'll get your enrollment papers." Lord Death said. I nodded my head and we waited until he came back with a few papers.

When we were done filling them out, he told us to leave our bags in the office and we could get them after school. Lord Death told Kid to get to class and to take us with him. We walked down the hall in silence until we came to a red door. "Sorry I'm late, Dr. Stein." Kid told the teacher sitting on a swivel chair.

"It's fine Kid. Who are your friends?" Dr. Stein said.

"Oh, this is Emi and Mayumi. They're new at the academy and Father had them start today."

"Very well. Take your seat. Emi, Mayumi, you can sit up their next the Soul and Maka." Dr. Stein told us. I looked up and saw a boy with white hair and a girl with blonde hair wave at us. Maka, I guess her dad was the man with red hair. Mayumi and I walked up to the aisle with Soul and Maka. I sat next to Soul and Mayumi next to me. "Hey, I'm Soul."

"Emi."

"So you're new at the academy?"

"Nooooooo, I've been here my whole life." I said sarcastically. Soul laughed a bit.

"You're funny, Emi."

"Thanks. Hey, you wouldn't happen to know a place where my sister and I could stay, would you?"

"Didn't Lord Death tell you that you could stay in the dungeons?"

"He did, but I don't want to live in the dungeons, so I told him we had a place to stay."

"Oh. Well, sorry I don-"

"Actually, if you want, you guys can stay with us." Maka said. I looked at her and Soul for a minute and then at Mayumi. She nodded her head and smiled.

"Sure. Thank you very much."

"No problem Emi."

After school, Mayumi and I went back to Lord Death's office and got our bags. We followed Maka and Soul to their apartment. "We only have two rooms, so you'll have to share." Maka told us. Mayumi and I nodded our heads.

"I'll share with Maka." Mayumi told me.

"Okay, that's fine."

Maka took Mayumi to her room to help her unpack her things. "Guess we're roommates." Soul said as he began walking to his room. I followed him and he told me I could put my things in the dresser in the corner, since his things were all in the closet. "We'll get you guys beds tomorrow, for now, you can have my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch. I don't know what Maka and Mayumi have in mind though."

"Are you sure? I can take the couch."

"Nah, its fine. It wouldn't be cool of me to do that."

"Oh, okay."

Soul left the room so I could change into my pajamas, which was a midnight purple lacey nightgown that went a little past my thighs. I walked out of the room when I was done getting dressed. I guessed Maka and Mayumi were still settling because Soul was the only one there. When he saw me, his nose started to bleed. "Soul, your nose is bleeding." I told him. He covered his nose with a tissue.

"It does that sometimes." Soul said, his voice muffled by the tissue.

"This may be weird, considering you're a guy, but I can't reach my braids. Could you, take them out for me?"

"Uh, sure."

I sat down in front of Soul on the couch. He slowly untwisted my hair and combed through it with his fingers. I cleared my throat. "Thank you, Soul." I said. His nose was still bleeding. I held another tissue to his nose. He stared at me as I cleaned his nose. "Hey you guys!" Mayumi said. Soul and I jumped as Maka and Mayumi came into the living room. I laughed at Soul's face.

"Not cool." Soul told them. Maka went over to the kitchen and got out a few ingredients and started cooking dinner.

A little bit before dinner was done, Soul's nose finally stopped bleeding. "Dinner's done!" Maka said as we all settle at the table. As I reached for my drink, my hand touched Soul's. I smiled.
