SOUL EATER: ~AFTERMATH~
Chapter 1 - A Duo Shines Bright... The Self-conscious Sword?
The two sat silently in the shadows awaiting the inevitable appearance of their target. Professor Stein said that they had located Edward Gein and were almost certain of his daily routines.
"Are they sure that he's going to be here?" Dani asked beginning to sound impatient.
"Yes, he told us that this is where he usually appears when women are alone" Jake answered.
"Well he'd better show up soon, I'm hooooooot." Dani whined tugging at her jacket
"Maybe we just need some bait." stated Jake.
"Well he only kills women, where are we going to find a girl who's willing to-" Dani stopped abruptly when she saw Jake smile. "No NO! I m not doing it!" She yelled at him angrily.
"Oh come on Dani, it's the only way to draw him out." Jake was trying his hardest not to laugh.
"You're an asshole..." Dani said before walking out of the alley and into the street. They continued waiting for another twenty minutes before Dani finally lost her temper.
"WHERE IS THIS GUY?" Dani shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Dani you need to calm down or else he might not be interested." Jake tried to reason with her.
"NO! YOU SHUT UP JAKE! WE'VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR ALMOST TWO HOURS! I'M HOT, SWEATY AND TIRED! I BET THE ONLY REASON HE ISN'T SHOWING UP BECAUSE I'M NOT PRETTY ENOUGH! THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT A GIRL!" she continued on her ranting.
"Dani, really you need to quit it before-" At that moment a large figure drops down behind Dani in the middle of the street.
"I was having a hard time telling whether or not you were a woman with all that heavy clothing on. Thank you for clarifying." It was Ed wearing a coat clearly made from human skin Now I'm going to take you, so if you don t mind, please don't put up a fight you'll only be wasting energy."
Dani stared at him blankly then began to laugh.
"What's so funny little girl?" asked Gein completely confused.
"It's funny because, haha, I'm going to more than just put up a fight Dani stopped laughing and wiped the forming tears from her eyes, I'm going to kill you."
Now Edward began to laugh. "You're kidding me right? HAHA! What can a mere child do to even do the least bit of harm to me?" He asked laughing uncontrollably.
"For starters," Jake said walking out from the alley, "she could tell me not to hold back when the fight begins, but I was already planning not to do that."
"Who the hell are you?" Gein asked sounding slightly intrigued.
"So I guess there really is no way to assure your well-being during this conflict." Jake continued ignoring his question.
"You're blowing a lot of hot air for a defenseless young man!" Gein shouted, charging towards Jake.
"Defenseless?" Dani chuckled.
"DANI! NOW!" Jake yelled.
"Got it!" She replied. Ed swung at Jake violently. There was a vicious slicing noise and the sound of blood dripping gently on the ground below Gein jumped back holding up the stub where his arm hard once been.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?" He shouted in terror. When his gaze returned to the young man he was holding a razor sharp samurai sword that he didn't have a moment ago.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?" he continued questioning.
"All of these questions don't really matter because you're going to be dead soon." Jake said with a sense of seriousness in his voice.
"YOU LITTLE PUNK! I'LL KILL YOU!" he yelled charging Jake again. Before Edward knew it he was looking at his legs from and impossible angle, then everything went black. As his body evaporated revealing a Kishin soul Jake s sword flashed brightly and Dani reverted from her weapon form.
I believe this is mine. She said in a snooty voice grabbing the soul and slipping it dropping it into the neck of her coat. Even though her winter coat covered her mouth Jake could tell she slurped it down just like any other weapon.
"That makes how many now? Twenty-five right?" Jake asked.
"Yup, each one tastes even better than the last too." Dani answered stretching her arms outward.
"What are you doing?" Jake said curiously.
"Come here. I need a hug after that." She told him in a sweet voice.
"Aw, Dani." Jake replied reaching his arms out. Once he was within range, Dani quickly raised a knee and hit him directly in the groin.
"GAH!" Jake shouted falling to the ground.
"THAT'S FOR USING ME AS BAIT! I don't care if you don't like me, that is no reason to send me out there to draw in a kishin." Dani scolded him.
"Dani, how many times do I have to tell you, I like you, quit being so self-conscious." Jake said working his way back to his feet.
"Whatever, let's just head back to the academy and tell Professor Stein that we completed the mission." Dani said sounding impatient again.
"Okay." Jake said, starting to walk in the opposite direction of the academy.
"Umm Jake? The DWMA is the other way." Dani told him in her usual manner.
"Oh sorry, I'm still a little shaken from your surprise attack on my crotch." Jake said back sarcastically. Then they began to make their way back to the academy together. This was usually how most missions went for the two of them and they both know that there is guaranteed to be more like it in their future.
