I sat in the dark, well I guess I dissevered it, even though I didn't do anything. Maybe I should explain? My name is Saber and I'm half human, half Kishin. I was born when the Kishin, Asura, awoke from his prison; a piece of his soul was unable to become one with him again so it started to form me. However at the same time a very powerful Meister resonated his soul with his weapon and that sent out a very powerful soul wave length. The Kishin absorbed the human soul but it wasn't strong enough to fully absorb it, thus half Kishin half human.

"You impressed?" I asked the wall.

No answer.

"I thought so." I said slumping against the stone wall. My mind drifted back to the first time Lord Death found me; I was in the Death Room dazed and confused. The next thing I knew I was thrown in here. When I was able to think they brought me back in front of Lord Death to await my punishment. Apparently being half Kishin by accident is a horrible crime. I rolled my eyes, "I'm still half human." I said twirling my hair in my finger.

The door to my cell opened and a figure stepped through. Narrowing my eyes at the light I saw an outline of someone, but I knew who it was, it was always him. I stood to my feet, "What's up Sid?" I gave him an innocent smile, "I do something wrong?"

"Lord Death wants to see you." He said down at the girl.

My smile faded, "Oh, fine let's go." I stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked past the zombie. I walked calmly up to the Death Room, for some reason I wasn't really scared. When I got to the large door I pushed it open. Turning around I saw that Sid was waving for me to head inside by myself. I took a deep breath and walked down the long hallway.

"What' up? What's up Saber?" Lord Death greater the young girl, "I'm glad you could make it."

I looked up at the reaper, "Did I have a choice?"

"Nope." He said back.

I sighed, "Well that figures." I heard someone yelling at me from behind; turning around I saw Spirit, Lord Death's personal weapon. I waved to him and all he did was yell at me again to show more respect to Lord Death.

Finally Spirit was tired of yelling at from a distances so he ran up to me, a little dust cloud came up from his feet. When he stopped next to me he started to poke me in the head, "Why do we keep this little brat around? She's nothing but trouble."

I growled at him, "I am not!" I swatted at his hand, "Would you stop doing that!"

He grinned, "What this?" he kept poking me.

I punched him, "Yes that!" we started fighting in the middle of the Death Room. There was a swift flash.

"Reaper Chop!" Lord Death's hand smacked the both of them.

Spirit and I fell to the floor; giant dent marks where in both of our heads. I watched as Lord Death wagged his finger at us.

"Behave you two, this is a big day for Saber."

We both sat up, "What?"

"That's right!" Lord Death jumped, "Saber you will be joining the DWMA!"

"Really!?" I shouted. I could fell Spirit shatter next to me. I started laughing at the look on Spirit's face as he became unhinged at the thought of me joining the DWMA. I saw Lord Death tilt to the side.

"Come on Spirit try to trust Saber, she is the daughter of one of your best friends." Death saw his weapon stop in mid break down.

Spirit sat up again, "What?" He looked at Saber and saw the same confused look in her eyes, "Lord Death what do you mean?"

I leaned back as Lord Death jabbed one of his fingers in my face. I looked up into his mask as he spoke, "Why don't you take a closer look at her." He said. I looked over at Spirit who was staring at me.

What? I don't see anything? Saber was just a normal teen. Short hair with many down ward spikes, and it was cut into two different colors; one half black, the other a pale grey. Saber wasn't that tall, but a middle height. She wore tatter clothes that she had put together; Spirit could see the stitch marks on her shirt. It was white and grey patches with sleeves that stopped half way down her arms. Her pants where dark black and that was it, nothing out of the ordinary. Spirit looked back at Lord Death but before he could say anything he was cut off.

"Look closer." Lord Death said again.

He sighed and turned his gaze back at the kid. Looking closer Spirit saw stiches on her arms and one on her neck. His eyes moved from her neck to her eyes, they were a pale green. Something clicked and Spirit jumped back, "No way! It can't be!"

"That's right." Lord Death said calmly, "Stein is Saber's father."

I watched as Spirit fainted, then I turned to Lord Death, "Question, who that heck is Stein?"

Death lifted a finger, "Good question. Stein is a professor here at the academy and he will be one of your teachers." He watched as Saber tilted her head in thought, "Now hold on Saber, Stein has no idea who you are so you must be careful not to tell him got it?"

"How come?" I asked. It was hard to hear him over Spirit's second break down.

"Oh dear god! Stein's a father! We're all gonna die!" Spirit's rant was cut off by another swift hit from Lord Death. Death turned back to Saber, "Well let's just say that because you're part Kishin we don't know how Stein will react to you." He could see that the girl was about to say something but he cut her off, "If he doesn't care for you he might end up dissecting you."

I could feel the color drain from my face, "Wha, what?" I watched as Lord Death waved my worry aside.

"It's just a thing of his." He started to shoo Saber out of the Death Room, "Just remember not to say anything."

I stopped outside of the door, "You got it!" before I left I smiled at Lord Death, "Thank you." I turned and ran off down the hallway back to my room.

Death watched as the door to the room closed. He heard Spirit sit up behind him.

"You're hiding something from her. What is it?"

Death slumped; he knew he wouldn't be able to hide it from Saber much longer. He turned to Spirit, "You're right I have been hiding something from her." Lord Death paused, "You remember Stein's madness right? Well because Saber shares his soul we have no idea if she might go mad."

"What does that have to do with not telling Stein?" Spirit asked resting his head in his hands.

"If Stein finds out who knows how he will react, plus Saber cannot risk having her madness awoken by anything that Stein might try,"

"Like?" asked Spirit.

"Like trying to dissect her to see how she able to live as half Kishin half human; something like that could drive her crazy." Lord Death looked down, "if that happens then the Kishin side will swallow her soul and she will be the one who takes Asura's place." he looked back up, "Also I have put a spell on Saber that will prevent her from being able to use soul resonance. If she cannot resonate souls then we can be sure that her madness will not spread to anyone else or hurt her." He heard Spirit sigh.

"Something tells me that Stein will figure it out though." He stood up and put his hands in his pockets.

Lord Death looked at the door where Saber had run off, "We can only hope that she can hide it well."

I didn't sleep, I couldn't sleep. For the first time I would meet people other than Lord Death, Spirit, or Sid. But something was bugging me; I didn't know how Stein, my father, would react to me. I tugged my selves down over the stiches on my arms as I walked to class.

"YAAHHHOOOO." A dark figure crashed head first into someone. The boy stood, "Who dares to stand in the Great Black Star's way? Do you want to get your ass kicked?"

I stayed sprawled out on the floor a small flow of blood spurting from my forehead. Lifting my head I saw a girl rush up to the boy.

"Black Star please be careful you could have hurt her." The girl looked down at the kid then back at Black Star. She gave the girl a hand, "Are you ok."

"Yeah I think so." I said rubbing my head, "The name's Saber, you?"

The girl tilted her head and smiled, "My name is Tsubaki," She turned to the boy, "and this is Black Star."

The boy jabbed his thumb at himself, "More like the Great Black Star! Am I right Tsubaki!?" he watched as his weapon partner nodded in agreement.

I studied them for a second; Black Star had blue spike hair and some kind of weird get up, looking at his right arm I saw a star tattoo. I turned my eyes to Tsubaki; he hair was long, black, and pull up. Her shirt had a star on it just like Black Star's tattoo, a weapon and her Meister. I thought, how cool! My thoughts we interrupted by the sound of someone shouting at Black Star.

"Now what the hell are you yelling at?" Said a boy walking out of the crowd, and over to them.

I looked at him, he wore a suit that was even with its colors and the official seal of Lord Death was around his neck where a tie should be. There was a ring on each finger and the only thing that wasn't even was his hair. I tilted my head, "Let me guess, Death the Kid?"

He turned to me, "Yes you're right….." he stopped in mid speech.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"Your hair…." He stammered. I looked behind him and saw two girls stand next to him.

"Oh great here we go." The taller one said rolling her eyes.

"This is gonna be fun!" the smaller one laughed.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow. Kid grabbed me and started shaking me. I felt like I was going to throw up, but he wouldn't stop, "What the hell is wrong with you!?" I shouted. My answer was quiet strange.

Kid shook the girl, "Your hair is two different colors, divided by an uneven zigzag! IT"S NOT SYMMETRICALLY" he couldn't take his eyes off of the two colors, "We must go and dye your hair right now!" he started to drag the girl through the hallway.

I flailed my arms, "Hey wait! I like my hair the way it is! Put me down!" I shouted some more and all of a sudden Kid stopped. I paused, "Um?" Kid slammed to the floor and I was greeted by the sight of a boy and a girl who had both smacked him. I sat there and brushed the dirt from my clothes, "Thank you…" I trailed off.

"Maka." The girl said smiling, "I'm sorry for the way that Kid acted he's just like that."

I smiled and laughed; I blinked as the boy offered me his hand. I took it and he pulled me up, "Thanks…." I trailed off again.

"Soul." He said giving me an evil looking smile.

I lowered my head, "It's so nice to meet all of you. I'm Saber." I froze in my spot as Maka asked me the one question that I was hoping to avoid.

"Saber? Don't you have a last name?" Maka saw the girl freeze in her spot.

Crap! I thought my head still down, What do I say? Stein? No, no Lord Death said not to, but that means all that's left is Saber Kishin and I'm so not saying that! Crap! Crap! Crap! I lifted my head up, "Would you believe I don't have one?" I saw them all shrug.

"Sure why not." Soul said dully as if he didn't care, "I guess that's kind of cool." He looked up at the clock then back at the others, "hey we should get going; I don't think Stein wants us to be late."

"You're right." Kid said finally coming back to life.

"Um, did you say Stein?" I asked. I saw Maka nod, "Well he's my first class and I'm not sure where to go."

"That's ok!" Black Star shouted grabbing Saber's hand, "With a big star like me showing you the way you'll never get lost!" he pulled her down the hallway, "YAAHHOOO!"

The group groaned, "That's the wrong way!" they all shouted after him. The friends all watched as Black Star went running down the other hallway still dragging Saber along with him. After a moment of laughter they all went after him to Professor Stein's class room.

My head was still rattling from the trip with Black Star. That's the last time I trust him! I thought as I tried to make the pain in my ears from Black Star's yelling go away. A sound caught my attention and I turned my head to see the door fly open. From the hallway I saw a man sitting in a chair wheel his way into the class room. Well he didn't really make it into the class room; the wheels on his chair caught in the doorway and he fell on his back. I heard him speak as he slid across the classroom on his back.

"Darn, I really thought that would have worked by now." he said in a monotone voice.

I felt my face drop, Now way. This is my dad? I could see it though. We both had the same eye color and half of my hair was like his. I blinked as Stein lifted his head; I saw a large scar on his face that was just like the ones on my arms. I shook my head as he spoke again.

"Alright class as you know today is a review day." He looked at all of the students.

I shuddered at the look he was giving us; oh man my dad is kind of creepy. I jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Hey you." He called up at the girl, "You're new here so why don't you come and show us what you can do."

I leaned forward in my seat, "Me?" I said pointing at myself. I saw Stein nod so I stood up and walked to him. I just stood there staring at everyone else; I turned to Stein, "Um, what do I do?" I noticed that Stein was paying much attention to me.

"Well first off you need a weapon partner." He said sitting back down in his chair, "You can't do much without one." Stein rested his head in his arms.

"Ok." I said thinking, "You mean this?" To swords shot out of my arms. I heard the kids gasp and saw that Stein had gotten more interested in me, "Did I do something wrong?"

"So you don't need a weapon partner." He said looking over his glasses. Stein leaned back in his chair, "Maka, Soul, come down here." He waited for the two to join the girl, "Now I want you all to link your souls together."

"Right." Maka said as Soul turned into a scythe. She looked over at Saber, "Don't worry we'll help you threw this."

I nodded, "Ok. Now LET'S GO SOUL RESONANCE!"
