First chapter is in Kid's POV
As quickly and as quietly as she could, the pink haired girl crammed her belongs into her back pack. The girl flinched at the sound of her zipper closing, afraid it made too much noise. It appeared everyone was fast asleep still. She glanced at the clock on the dresser, 12:25 am lit up in neon blue numbers contrasting the darkness of the room. "Almost 12:30…" she gulped. "I need to leave right away." Standing up, the girl quickly swung the backpack around her shoulders and headed out of the room without looking back. She continued to head down the stairways, still trying to be swift and stealthy at the same time. Once she made it to the door another challenge faced her, getting out of the house quietly. The girl turned the door handle to the right as slowly as she could before pulling it in. She wedged her way between the small door opening she made and ever so slowly shut it behind her. Once all was clear she made a mad dash down the walkway towards the road.
Once making it to the road she decided to have one last look at the manor behind her. 'I wish I didn't have to leave so soon..' she thought. The girl forced a weak smile 'We will all meet again soon though, I promise… everything thats going to happen… it's going to be what's best for everyone." She faced forward with a more confident look. I-I'm not going to let anyone down again."
Back inside the mansion a dark haired boy woke up in confusion to a noise he though to be a door slam. "Patty..? Liz?" he called out. No response. "It was probably one of those two getting up to go to the bathroom or something." he muttered as he layed back down. His golden eyes glanced at the clock. 12:28 it read, too late to be awake. The boy rolled back over to try to fall back asleep. But something seemed off. As if he was forgetting something but nothing came to mind. "oh well." he sighed as he closed his eyes. If it was truly important he would have remembered it.
"Bi… i … i ...i… ah L! finally." I said exclaimed after I reached the section on the bookshelf. I scanned the BLA section shelf thoroughly, tapping my finger on each book I past. After reaching the BLAD books I frowned. "There's not a single book on it…"
"Ugh Kid.. what what were we looking for again…? Black something...OH! was it Blackstar!?" The blue haired assassin shouted in a voice far too loud for the library.
"No Blackstar. Black blood is what we're looking up. Please stay focused." I scolded
"You can't really expect me to pay attention to all this boring stuff can you?" he responded. "Looking at some shelves won't get us anywhere! The real stuff starts when we get out there and start kicking ass."
I turned around and shoved my hands in my pockets. "Some research would do us good. especially if I have to work with someone who doesn't think before he acts." I sighed. "Besides this black blood thing could potentially be dangerous. But it seems there's nothing on it anyways, So we'll have to base things off what Stein told us."
"How does Stein know about this black blood thing anyways." Blackstar questioned as we walked out of the library.
"Apparently this supposed Demon Sword we're looking into left blood at all the scenes he's been to these past few nights. Pretty convenient I suppose… Anyways Stein has been looking into the collected data so far and has been conducting research on it. Although I still find it odd that this demon sword is carelessly leaving behind such evidence at the scenes. Especially if its supposedly its weapon. Almost too convenient don't you think?" I asked, more talking to myself than him. I honestly wouldn't have expected him to even be listening to my rambling.
"Yeah sure. So are we actually going to go after the dude ever?"
"Of course! Probably tonight… After all, all the past incidents have all been at the same time of night and on the same side of town. So we'll easily be able to find him. Another strange thing, don't you think? It's almost like he's leaving a trail for us to find him. I sure hope he's not trying to Mock the DWMA by doing this. I can assure you, I won't have any of that."
It was odd indeed. Surely it can't be just dumb.. right? My father would have sent any ordinary meister to deal with this if that was the case. Blackstar and I have been working on this case of a Demon Sword in death city for a few days now. It appears to be very strong, as it's defeated every other weapon meister pair who've tried to hunt it down. But this time it will be different. Even with Blackstar's carelessness we won't be defeated. It would just look bad if I, a grim reaper, was beaten by a lowly demon sword. I could never let that happen.
"Hey… if this guy wants a challenge then we'll give him one!" Blackstar smirked. "There's no way I could lose!" I couldn't help but smile in agreement, at least Blackstar was in the same spirit as I was.
"Hey Kid! Blackstar!" I hear a voice calling us. The two of us look over and find the rest of our group heading down the hallway towards us.
"Hey we heard you two were going after that demon sword" Maka began once they reached us. "Think you'll have any luck?"
"Of course we will! You do realize I'm going to be there right?" Blackstar boasted "So what? I take it you're jealous that you and Soul aren't coming along?"
"What? Of course not! We have a hunt of our own tonight! I was just worried about you guys…" She muttered, shyly looking at me as while saying that last part. I pretended not to notice; I heard the giggling of Liz and Patty making it more awkward. I guess you could say things have been… weird between Maka and I lately. "But… whatever… you guys will be fine." Maka added in. I still felt her eyes on me, probably waiting for me to look back at her. I continued to pretend not to notice. The longer this dragged on, the more awkward the eye contact would be when it happened. "Well…. Lets go home Soul" Maka eventually sighed.
"Yeah, sure." Her Weapon replied nonchalantly. I felt kind of guilty, but well…. what else should I have done? Seconds after they took their leave I could already tell I had a few comments from Liz coming my way.
"Well… aren't you the rude one today?" Liz finally sneered. Yup saw that one coming.
"Poor Maka…" Tsubaki sighed. Not you too Tsubaki….
"Why am I required to talk to Maka just because she likes me?" I defended. "It makes conversations awkward."
"Kid you'll never get a girlfriend with that mindset. When a girl says she likes you that means talk to her more! Not ignore her!" My older weapon groaned.
I just shrugged. "It honestly doesn't matter to me what happens between Maka and I. As long as we can stay on good terms."
"This is your idea of good terms?!"
"I'd rather just ignore it til this all passes." It makes sense… I mean eventually she'll get over it right?
"So… you're saying you want to ruin your chances of being with Maka? or any girl for that matter." Tsubaki asked.
I sighed and shrugged again. "I guess I have no reason not to go out with Maka. But then again I have no reason to go out with her either. Like I said it doesn't matter to me. You guys should know I never dated anyone." Everytime they bring up this topic I respond the same way. I'm not really sure what else to say.
"But you've liked someone before…. right?" Tsubaki asked.
"No. At least… I don't think so… If I have, surely I would remember having a feeling like that."
The three girls shook their heads simultaneously. "You're hopeless." Liz finally said. "But, I think you should give Maka a chance. Especially if you're so indifferent about it, you might as well."
"I'll consider it" I replied. "But tonight let's focus our attention on the demon sword at hand… No more date talk until we accomplish our mission."
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Lets go home."
"We'll see you tonight Blackstar, Tsubaki." I said to the pair before the three of us headed home. All this talk of love and dating… I couldn't go a day without it since Maka confessed to me. I wish I could say I felt the same way towards her, but I've never felt that about anyone. And the thought of going out with someone just doesn't feel… right. I've only felt this way recently and I have no clue why. I guess I even confuse myself on this.
It had to be sometime between 10 and 11 at night. I stood on top of one rooftop in the middle of town with Liz and Patty by my side. The rooftop across from us stood Blackstar and Tsubaki. The streets were dead tonight.
"So who gets the Kishin egg when we kill this guy?" Blackstar hollered acrossed to me.
I shrugged "Whoever kills him I suppose." Liz and Patty both had an even number of souls at the time, so there was no need for me to claim it for myself as quickly as I could. Besides, I'm almost positive I'm ahead of Blackstar with number of kishin eggs collected.
I looked back down at the streets. They were completely empty, no surprise. Citizens have been asked to stay inside after sunset for the time being, especially on this side of town. Only an idiot would want to wander the streets with this danger lurking around, or at least thats what I thought. As if corresponding to my thoughts, I saw a figure further down the alleyway Blackstar and I were looking down on. From what I could see this person had a very thin stature and they walked a bit clumsily. My guess was my age group but I could not tell the gender or any other details from here.
"Hey what's a kid like that doing out here tonight?" I hear Tsubaki's voice say to Blackstar. Looks like I wasn't the only one to notice.
"Hey Lookie there, Tsubaki's right." Patty chimed. "Maybe he's lost? Some better help him out." The three of us looked to Blackstar.
"What me? No way. I'm keeping watch for the Demon sword! I dont have time for community service. If I'm distracted when he gets here you'll try and take my spotlight!"
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, I'll be right back then." Apparently taking 20 seconds to ask someone if they are alright would kill him. stepping down from the roof and landing perfectly, I minced down the street in the strangers direction.
"It's awfully dangerous to be out this late. Are you lost?" I inquired as I drew nearer to the stranger.
"..."No response, however they stopped in their tracks after I asked, which I took as some sort of response. I took a few more steps before stopping in front of them. I was just a few feet away and could not make out their short messy pink hair. They gripped their right arm nervously and looked down and to the side, as if trying to avoid eye contact with me all together.
"Are you lost?" I asked again. He or she jumped at the sound of my voice.
"I…." They looked down. "I.. uh.."
'They look so shy.' I thought, forcing back a smile.
I took a step closer. "Do you need help? There's no need to be so nervous. I can assure you, you can trust me."
"y-your voice…." the stranger squeezed their eyes shut. "I know your voice from somewhere…you sound just like… like…"
I tilted my head. "Have we met? Maybe you've seen me at the academy." I'm pretty sure I did not know this person but they seemed to have recognized me, which wasn't a big deal, this sort of thing happens all the time with me.
"It's really you…" Their eyes slowly opened to reveal a pair of dark blue eyes "Ki-ki-...Kid. It's really Kid!" They way their voice raise at the last sentence made me think this stranger was a girl but I still had my doubts.
I wasn't sure how to respond, I would have normally responded with the usually polite greeting and ask their name. But there was something about how this person looked at me, and maybe how she even said my name? I was sure I didn't recognize this girl(?), but I've never seen a stranger look at me in such a way. Or maybe I've never seen anyone look at me in such a way.
She reached out her left arm as if her were about to grab my hand but then suddenly stopped mid-grab and let her arm slowly fall. Her face fell from an expression of pure joy, doing a complete 180 to a look of sorrow and heart break. I couldn't help but feel a sharp pang of guilt when looking at that face. What could I have done to make someone look so broken? Maybe she realized I didn't recognize her? But I would've expected a bit of disappointment if that were the case. This was much more extreme, whatever it was. "Hey… Is something wrong…?"
"I…."She took a few steps back and gave me a fake laugh. "I.. have something to tell you."
"Hmm?"
"Did you know… My blood is Black?"
"Huh? What-" Before I even had a chance to register in my mind what she said a large black shadow cast over the girl that sprouted from her back. At that moment I felt the presence of another soul. I got a malicious feeling from this wavelength…. It had to be the…
"Kid watch out…" I turned to my right, Blackstar was already by my side with Tsubaki in her chain scythe form. I looked back in front of me. Now towering over the girl was a tall, black figure emerging from her back. There was nothing human about this thing. "it" appeared to have a very tall and muscular upper body with spikes on it's back. It's face was marked by a large white X in the center. This thing… It had to me the demon sword….
"Hey Kid…. we're gonna transform okay?" Patty informed. I nodded. In a flash, the two transformed into their weapon forms. I help out my arm, catching them at the same time.
"So I get that this is the demon sword…" Blackstar began. "But what's with the kid?"
The kid? How could I forget! That… thing… it emerged from that girl I was just talking to…. So what does that make her? I turned back to her, she stood so casually while this monster towered over her. The only explanation for this had to be that this was the demon's swords meister. Why the demon sword was inside the her..? Well… that doesn't matter anymore. All that matters now is they are the enemy.
"So….. we kill the kid and the thing…?" Blackstar asked again.
"No way!" I could hear Tsubaki's protests. "We can hurt an innocent person!" She had a point but chances are a meister of a demon sword isn't so innocent.
I looked sternly at the pink haired girl. "Just who are you?"
A mad smirk ran across her face. The gentle, nervous look she had before was replaced. "Crona… the Demon Swordsman."
"Hey Crona, do you know these guys or something?" asked a deep voice coming from the figure on her back. "Quit with all the chatting why don't you. Let's just hurry and up and eat their souls. You haven't gotten me any human souls in weeks! probably over a month!"
"It talks?" I heard Liz say.
"Alright Ragnarok…" She called, holding up her arm as if ready to catch something. The black figure melted down in to a black ooze, taking the shape of a long, black sword in her palm.
"Well then… Demon Swordsman Crona…. I think it's time we put an end to you." I said. Without giving a moment for reply I took aim, pressed my pinkies to the trigger and fired.
"Hey, no fair, I wanted he first hit!" Blackstar protested.
"Kid… did you forget…." sighed a meek voice "My blood is Black." I gasped, looking back up, she stood there barely phased by my attacks. Completely unharmed. Damn it, how could I forget about the black blood….
"See, you should've just left this to me!" Blackstar said. "I can hit with my soul's wavelength!"
"Yeah… but will it be enough?" I questioned.
"Hah! It'll do more than what you could ever do!" He smirked. My eye twitched in irritation. What was the most irritating thing was he was probably right. "Here I go!" Blackstar announce, getting into his stance to charge.
"W-wait! You're not really gonna attack me are you Blackstar?!" The girl panicked while waving her free hand frantically. I raised an eyebrow quizzically… she know's Blackstar's name too? His name was never brought up… and even so… why use the name of a stranger so casually? Especially if he's ready to kill you. She knows me… she knows Blackstar…? Who is she though?
"Blackstar wait-" I start… but it's too late for that. faster than either of us could blink, the blue haired ninja was already behind her, with his palm against her back. Bright blue static shot out, causing the a painful screech from the demon swordsman. I had to wince and turn away. It did sound rather painful. After a few more seconds Blackstar released her from the painful grip, the demon swordsman immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Why would you..." The words slipped from her mouth just before she completely went unconscious.
"NO BIG DEAL GUYS! I just killed a demonsword in one hit!" Blackstar boasted. The three weapons all returned to their human form.
"Nice try but she's only unconscious." I rolled my eyes.
"But It did do a lot!" Patty chimed in.
"Yeah but not enough" Liz explained. "What a weird weapon though… did you see that things true form? And the fact that it was INSIDE the meister? Ugh.. Patty, could you imagine if we had to be attached to Kid?" The older pistol shuddered.
I knelt down on the pavement next to her to have a better look. She was definitely unconscious, her eyes were gently closed and her pink hair sprawled out on the pavement. She looked calm and fragile again, like when I first saw her, before she had that insane look. The gentle look to her fit her better anyways, It almost was hard to imagine her to be the same person in that insane state she was in a few seconds ago just by looking at now. "Speaking of weird… I was going to ask you Blackstar before you went and attacked… but does this girl look familiar to any of you?" I asked.
"Huh? I thought that was a boy…. But no. Never seen him or her…" Blackstar said.
"Nope… Never seen them!" Patty said. Liz shook her head as well.
"Hmm… well I don't know…" Tsubaki sighed. "I'd have to say I dont ever remember meeting this person before in my life. And I can't think of any reason why I'd know them if they are a demon swordsman… but I guess you could say there is a sort of familiar air to them… I don't know why. But why do you ask?"
"Really…?" I said. Tsubaki's answer intrigued me… but then again none of the other 3 agreed with her… I'm not really sure if I could say I felt the same as her for sure or not. "Anyways… I'm asking because they seemed to recognize us. When I first approached her, not only did she know my name but her reaction was rather… well odd I guess. And just earlier she casually called Blackstar by his name even though it was never mentioned."
"Huh...that is kinda weird…." Liz placed a finger on the side of her cheek. "But if none of us can ever recall meeting them then chances are we haven't. Even if Tsubaki claims something feels nostalgic… She still has no memory of meeting them."
"Sooo…. are we just gonna let her finish her nap on the street before we do something?" Patty asked.
"Yeah… what are we gonna do about the demon sword?" Liz added in.
"Good question…" I sighed. "It doesn't look like a soul's wavelength will be enough… So even while unable to defend themselves we can't do much here and now…If it wasn't for that black blood."
"We can't just leave them here! Once they wake up they'll be able to roam free again!"
'Thanks for stating the obvious Liz...' I thought to myself. "I know that… But it's not like we're completely out of options." I pushed a few strands of her pink hair away from her sleeping face. "We've captured the demonsword and its meister. If we take them back to the Academy then this will be the end of their hunting of human souls whether they be dead or alive. Father, Spirit, Sid, and Stein.. I'm sure they'll know what to do. We can leave it in their hands now. "
"How anticlimactic.." Blackstar sighed. "But whatever… Kid always wants to do stuff the boring way."
I guess I'll end it here for now. weird place to end but there's gonna be a time skip so this makes it easier on me XD But the next chapter is over half way done! I got so excited lol
So yeahhh there is a thing with Maka liking Kid so far and even though I forgot to state it in the chapter Soul is with Patty in this story? (love that pairing)Thanks for reading and pls review!
