CHAPTER 1

A New Student

Maka Albarn stood at the bottom step of the DWMA academy suitcase in hand. The breeze blew her pigtails to the side as she took a deep breath and smiled. "Come on papa. We're already late!" she called her father as he was still sitting in the taxi, taking his sweet time.

"You shouldn't get all excited Maka; it's not good for you." She rolled her eyes and looked back at the staircase that seemed to never end. He finally got out of the taxi and started towards the stairs, carrying his suitcases and one of Maka's extras.

"You're just saying that because you don't want to be here. Now COME ON!" her father sighed loudly and looked up at the breathing sun up in the sky.

"There so many stairs though…" Maka started up the stairs without him and drug her suitcase behind her. Halfway up the staircase, she stopped and looked back down at her red haired father who hasn't even made it up the first step yet. Once again, she rolled her eyes at her father and continued up the stairs. Little did she know, she was being watched from afar.

"Assassins Rule Number One - Silence: Dissolve in the darkness and erase your breath. Wait for an opening to attack your target." Maka reached the top step breathless. The front of the school was beautiful up close. It was much better than magazines and school website pictures that's she has looked at for as long as she can remember.

"Assassins Rule Number Two – TransitionalThinking: Analyze the target in order to predict his thoughts and movements." She walked forward and rolled her suit case in front of her, resting her wrists on the handle.

"Come on papa, I don't want to be any later than I already am!" she shouted, not knowing her father was right behind her.

"I'm right here Maka, no need to shout. Now stay right here while I go get Lord Death." She nodded and held back a grin that was creeping up on her face.

"Assassins Rule Number Three - Speed: Take out the target before the target notices your presence." Maka got a small feeling that she was being watched and saw something move in the corner of her eye.

"I am the great assassin Black Star! And I've come here to assassinate you all!" a blue haired boy jumped from out of nowhere right in front of her and shouted, throwing his arms in the air.

"YOU IDIOT! It's not an assassination if you've been spotted already." A white haired boy, a few inches shorter than the blue haired boy lazily walked up behind him. He had his hands in his jacket pockets and a frown on his face. Maka didn't know how to react to either boy, so she stayed quiet and intertwined her fingers together.

"Chill Soul, I know what I'm doing," the blue haired boy shushed the other one and took a giant step towards Maka and held out his gloved hand, "Black Star's the name. you better not forget it Blondie, cuz' one day, I'm gonna be the one who surpasses God." She didn't know whether to shake his hand or smash his face in with a book. The white haired boy smacked his hand away and looked up and grinned at her as he held his hand to her. Maka shook his hand and smiled slightly.

"Or one day someone will finally have the common sense to smash your face…" the White haired boy said to BlackStar and looked back at Maka, "I'm Soul. Don't listen to the ass, he's just full of hot air." He gave her a toothy grin and shoved his hand back in his pocket.

"I'm Maka. I'm new to Death City and-" Soul cut her off, "Weapon or meister?" she looked at him skeptically and drew her hands away from the boys.

"Meister. I guess ill see you guys around school. I have to get going. I'm supposed to go meet Lord Death." She waved goodbye as she walked past them.

"Are you really that desperate to get a meister?" BlackStar asked Souls chuckling. Soul gave him a look of annoyance and huffed.

"No. I'm just asking. I'm tired of classes. I want to go out and fight already." BlackStar laughed at him.

"You haven't been on a mission in weeks. You need to go back to training first!" Soul punched him in the jaw and started towards the building.

"Let's just get to class idiot."

A/N Okay. I know what you're thinking. I've been gone so long. well I'm back and redoing EVERYTHING. All of my stories are going to eventually be rewritten and hopefully a lot better. I will work on this story first and see how it goes from there.
