I don't own Hetalia or Soul Eater.

"I..I can't run anymore!" The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the night sky.

"We have to! Do you WANT to die?!"

'No, but-"

"Then no buts!"

Two scruffy boys, eyes laced with fatigue, ran, no stumbled across the dark alleyway. "Where can we even go to? Is there even a place for us? "There is one..."

Even the air seemed to tremble as the next words were uttered.

"Death Weapon Meister Academy."


Chapter 1. A New Beginning, or an Escape?

"Ve, this building is so tacky."

"Don't insult the school, we didn't even start attending yet!"

It was an average day, or what you call average in Death city. Kids were playing, birds were tweeting, and the sun was laughing. The usual.

"Do you think they'll serve pasta here?"

"How should I know, you idiot!"

Well not anymore, I guess.


The Death Weapon Meister Academy, or the DWMA for short, was currently bustling with people anxious to be the new students of this prestigious school. Teenagers from all around the world, ranging from Europe to the far reaches of Asia, all vying to be selected. It was quite a sight really if you were actually paying attention to this and not worrying your head off about the entry exam.

"Hiya hiya!" All attention turned to the entrance of the building at the sudden greeting. A darkly clad figure with a cartoonish skull mask who was definitely not there a few seconds ago stood, waving hands that looked suspiciously like foam. It took a few seconds for the crowd to sink in that THE grim reaper was in front of them. Then all hell went loose.

"OMG IT'S THE REAPER."

"WHERE IS MY CAMERA?!"

"MR. REAPER CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?"

"Now calm down everyone, we don't want to start a riot." Waving his gigantic hands comically, he whispered to the teachers behind him."Close the gates, we don't want this mass to grow, do we?" With a nod, they sneakily set off to work, although the stealth wasn't necessary since the fanboys and girls didn't pay much attention to them. No, the hitch happened when they were closing the gate.

"ASPETTARE!" Two teenagers were dashing up the stairs, desperately trying not to get stuck on their side of the huge iron gate. Somehow, the two actually made it across, whether from pity from the teachers, or just sheer dumb luck.

"We made it!" The shorter one shouted out in glee, but the celebration was cut short by a punch from the other male.

"You fucking dipshit, this is all your fault! If it wasn't for your stupid cat-"

"Gino isn't stupid!"

"If you haven't run off and try to get your pet we wouldn't have been late, dumbass!"

"Well-"

"ATTENTION!" Instantly all clamor died down. "As the headmaster, I say welcome to you all. So, who's up for an entree exam? Can I get an aye?" General murmers were heard. "Can't hear you~"

"AYE!" The teachers had to cover their ears at the earthshaking roar.

"Good! The teachers will be judging you by groups, which will be chosen right here." The reaper gestured at a box, which some guys swore it wasn't there before. "Good luck!" As soon as he said that, the crowd surged ahead, anxious to be the first to draw. The only ones who didn't join were the two boys from the gate incident. The two just stood there, observing.

"...We really made it, huh?"

"Yeah."

Through the commtion, no one saw the silent tears.


This chapter turned out quite shorter than I expected. I think it's pretty obvious who the two is, no?

Aspettare= wait

Might update soon. MIGHT.
