Mr. 96: Hello, hello, hello! Today I'm doing a crossover fic with the anime I love the most and the anime I end up talking about the most! It came when I was considering the multiple uses of the term "Shinigami," and was trying to rectify them all into one, but Ryuk wasn't computing too well, and with good reason, since in Bleach and Soul Eater they just come and kill you rather than writing you down in a book. So, here I am with a Bleach/Soul Eater crossover!
I own neither series. Bleach is owned by Tite Kubo (an awesome person) and Soul Eater by Atsushi Okubo (an even more awesome person, if you think that's possible)
"Okay, class," Professor Stein said, after he was finished calling attendance, "Today we'll be doing yet another dissection!"
"Dude, isn't it time you gave the whole dissection thing a rest?" Soul asked, leaning forward.
"Oh, this time it'll be special," Stein said, wheeling in a table, "This time you're going to be doing it on a live human being! And a Deathscythe, no less!"
"Aaaaaagh! Stein! Let me down from here!" Spirit cried, squirming around. Stein quickly tied down the restraints and whistled.
"Look what he's doing, showing off like that…" BlackStar said, very jealous that nobody wanted to dissect him yet.
"Eeeewww…..as much as I want something to happen to my dad, this is just too much, even for him," Maka said, wrinkling her face. "I hate to say it, but I think somebody should save him."
Stein looked up. "Maka, Soul, Kid, BlackStar, Tsubaki, and the twins! You're excused from class. Lord Death wants you for something."
Everyone Stein called got up, relieved they got out of dissection class, even if they felt sorry for Spirit.
"Sir, what exactly did you call us in here for?" Maka asked, "This seems rather sudden…"
"Well, it's like this," Lord Death replied, waving his head left to right. "After the Kishin Asura got out, more of his kind have been popping up, and the witches are growing more powerful too. So I want you to get me the Zangetsu. It's the most powerful weapon ever created, and the only one that doesn't have a human form."
"Father, I've heard you mention this sword before," Kid said, "But you've never told me anything about it. What exactly is this Zangetsu?"
"Strictly put, it's a sword that was used by me before Demon Weapons were created," Death said, "It's located in a shrine in Japan, but…."
"We're on it!" BlackStar said, "A super-powerful sword? Sounds like the perfect weapon for me!"
He ran off. "Wait!" Lord Death shouted out, "There's something you should know about the Zangetsu!"
He was too late, as Maka and the others had taken after BlackStar
Eventually, they had made their way to Japan. "Yahoo! My home country!" BlackStar said, "There's no way you guys can find the Zangetsu before I do! I know this country like the back of my hand!"
"Um, actually, BlackStar, you were raised in America," Tsubaki said, "I think I should be the one leading here!"
"Uhhh, I meant the two of us when I said "I", Tsubaki!" BlackStar said, his mouth twitching. Everyone looked at him as if they could tell the obvious lie he just told.
"Actually, we don't have to go through all that trouble," Kid said, "The Zangetsu's hidden inside a shrine, which my father gave us directions to. Maka, I believe you have the map?"
"Yeah, it's right here," Maka said, pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket. "It says we go here…..and then take a left….then a right…."
"I don't need a stupid map! I'm going to find that thing myself!" BlackStar said, jumping away.
"BlackStar, wait up!" Tsubaki said, jumping after him.
"Guess it's just you and me, eh, Maka?" Kid said, sighing.
"Yeah. BlackStar never learns." Maka said, nodding her head.
Eventually, they reached the castle. "I'm leading the way!" a voice called from the distance. "BlackStar, the temple is this way!" another voice called.
Maka heard this, and waved them over. "Tsubaki! BlackStar! Over here!"
BlackStar walked over to them. "Oh, so you're here already, are you?" he said, trying to pretend that he was there first.
"Dude, you're the ones who're late." Soul said, taking advantage of every moment of BlackStar's misery (Note: Sorry, BlackStar fans, but your idol ranks number three on my top list of hated characters. But don't worry too bad, he's behind Ragnarok and Asura.)
"Sorry," Tsubaki said, "We…"
"What are you talking about, Tsubaki?" BlackStar said, "Of course we could have been here earlier than you, but I just had to make sure everyone could see me come in! After all, there's nobody here!"
"No one but my family," an old man said, opening the door to the temple. "I am known simply as Miura. Come, enter, so we may discuss." He beckoned inside, and everyone followed.
"I am the guardian of the Zangetsu. For generations, my family has been a part of it. My sons, my daughter, and my grandson all do their part to protect it."
"So can we just get the sword and get over with it?" BlackStar said.
"Not so, my young one. But yes, yes, we can, come with me."
Soul looked at Maka. "Is it just me, or does this guy have a thing for saying stuff that doesn't make sense?"
Maka sighed. "It's not just you. But still, maybe he has some kind of meaning behind it. We should listen to him."
Soul sighed. "Yeah, but I don't see the point in listening to some old man."
"I hope you realize my hearing does not fail with age, young man," Miura said, looking behind him.
Soul shrugged, and moved on to the first room, not knowing what was in there…..
Mr. 96: I just realized that a lot of the stuff I want to do with one chapter ends up on the cutting-room floor because I just plumb run out of time! Peace, brothers!
