The More Things Change

by Edward the Pure

10 years have passed since the original cast ended their adventures. They are now teachers at DWMA, but that's not who we are focusing on. We focus on a character named Eamonn O'Brien, who for 4 years has been taking out Kishin on his own. OC's accepted.

1. Chapter 1

AN: Hello everybody I am so happy to have you reading this. My name, as you all know hopefully is Edward the Pure. We are here to learn about my newest work in progress, a Soul Eater fanfic. I have no idea what the title will be yet so for now it's just going to be the random title, Press L2P. I will definitely change it because I don't want something that has nothing to do with this as the title. If you guys have any clever suggestions, feel free to let me know. I warn you now, this might be my least updated fanfic because I'm getting close to the end of The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Power and I really want to get up to Chapter 10 in Digimon Xros Wars: The Shining Zodiac before I regularly update 2 stories at once. But I said might so this could be a lie. I'll know when it comes true.

Eamonn*: Just get started already or else I'll have to put you on ice.

Me: '_' OK that may not be possible but best not to anger the fictional OC. So let's get onto the story.

Chapter 1

*Third POV*

The bell that signaled the end of the day rang and the students went out of class, surprisingly in an orderly fashion. One person, however, was still sitting at his desk staring at the clock. He had inch long, ice blue hair, ice blue eyes, skinny, and skin as white as snow. He had on an ice blue tee shirt with the words, "Some rain on peoples parade, I snow on them" written on the front and a picture of a parade ice sculpture on the back, ice blue shorts with white snowflake shapes adorned all around it, snow white slip-on shoes and a white necklace with many different snowflake pendants and icicles on it. "Eamonn, I'd like you to stay for a minute longer please," his sensei had asked him. He looked down at Maka like he had expected as much.

"Of course Maka-sensei, not like I'm going to have a choice," the teen, Eamonn, said coldly. She gave him a hard stare as he came down the steps leading from his desk to the exit. "So who are the recruits this time?" He asked her. She motioned for her to follow her and walked towards the NOT class.

"Sid-sensei is keeping them in here." She opened the door and Eamonn walked in, only noticing the zombie in the room.

"Sid-sensei, what weaklings do we have today?" Sid gave him a partially angry look and turned to the recruits. One was a male the same age as Eamonn, slightly shorter with long dirty blond hair, orange skin and green eyes. He had a red dress shirt with a black bowtie, black dress pants and red dress shoes. Everything except his skin, hair and eyes were red and black. Next to him was a girl with long back length light blue hair, sea blue eyes, bronze, tanned skin, and a pair of pearl ear rings. She wore an ocean blue tee shirt with bubbles images all over it, mid calf, faded blue jeans and a pair of teal sandals. She looked excited to be there, like always since she was there every time this happened. The third was a male with pure black hair, pale skin with a tan on the top of his fore arms, blood red eyes, ripped jeans, a blue tee shirt that said "Why so blue?" but no shoes. He didn't look like he wanted to be there, like Eamonn. The last one was a female that appeared to be a few years younger than Eamonn. She had long red hair with a silver streak in it, bronze eyes and bleached skin. She wore a red tee shirt with flames on the front, purple pants and green shoes. She just looked like she didn't care to be there.

"As you know you've been Weaponless for 4 years now*. Though you've built up the profile called the Weaponless Meister*, you have to have a weapon in order to get out of this school," Sid said. Eamonn wasn't paying much attention so he just looked like he was. "We have picked out the top Weapons in the school who don't have a Meister. If you can't match your wavelength to any of these guys, you're out of here." Eamonn nodded and the people stepped forward to give their introductions.

"Hi, my names Katelyn Alabaster," the girl at the end started first. Eamonn looked her over, but with no interest at all. She stepped back and the boy next to her stepped forward.

"Call me Nick Pender," he said as he began to sweat. If he was this under pressure than he'd be useless in an actual fight. The boy at the end was next, skipping the bluenette.

"Names Dakota Skyfold, nice to meet you." He extended his hand, but Eamonn didn't shake it. The boy shrunk back into the group. The bluenette began to step forward, but Eamonn held his hand forward to stop her before she started.

"I know your name OK. You've been here for the last 2 years that we've done this. Lilith Aquarius, daughter of a prominent family, blah blah blah. We've been through this and I don't want to work with you." She nodded and slumped downwards. This had been her 18th chance and he wasn't budging at all. "So before I try to choose, who all is a sword?" He asked them. Everyone except Lilith raised her hand. Despite scythe's being the most popular among weapons, the amount of sword Weapons had grown from 1 in 30 to 1 in 2. This group proved those odds wrong and only increased them. "Sorry, but swords aren't for me." They all nodded and walked out with a saddened expression on their faces (except Nick who looked happy). Sid sighed and walked over to Eamonn.

"When are you going to let go of the past and just keep moving forward in life?" He asked the teen. Eamonn shot him a look that could freeze and walked towards the door. "Wait, where are you going? You have to try to match to Lilith's wavelength. Get back here!" He yelled as Eamonn stopped at the door.

"She's a weak POS**. There's no way I'll team up with someone like her." With that he left and headed home. Lilith fell to the floor crying. She had been trying to pair up with him for years and every time she had been called that, a POS. He never used the real term but she understood it.

"Why is he such a bitch?" She asked Sid. Sid however wasn't listening. He was trying to figure out how to break the news to Lord Death. He wanted to have Eamonn partnered as soon as possible, but he didn't want him to have a 37th chance*** since he promised to partner with someone by the 36th time. Lilith, still crying, grabbed her stuff and headed over to her apartment. "I have to go. I'll see you later Sid-sensei." She ran out the doors before Sid realized.

Lilith ran towards the request boards to see what missions were available. Sadly the only one left was the easiest one. 'Look for one Kishin egg in Las Vegas. It will look like a slot machine.' She sighed and heard footsteps. She looked down the hall to see Eamonn walking out of the school and down the stairs. She followed at a distance and he didn't seem to notice her, even though he did at the school.

When they got to her apartment building he turned into it. She was surprised that he lived in the same building but was even more surprised when she found out where he lived. They were neighbors! And she didn't even notice until now. "Yes we're neighbors, bring it up and you'll be put on ice," Eamonn threatened as he walked into his apartment. Lilith just stared at where he had been; shocked that he knew she was there. Tsubaki had taught her the ways of the assassin and she followed every single one of them. She got out of her shock and walked into her apartment.

*Eamonn POV, 1st*

I walked in and sat on the couch. This was literally not worth my time. Swords were all that were there and Lilith. He didn't know what her weapon form was and didn't care. She grew up a spoiled brat who always got what she wanted and had no experience at all. He would be lucky to get anyone at all. Though a thought did occur to him. He hadn't seen her in an actual fight and only stereotyped her. She could be better than he thinks, but probably not. I decided to test it out by following her to the mission she got. She got the weakest one and mine wasn't due until the end of the week. Taking the cost of flight, food, drink and trip back, I'd have enough to go to her venue.

I got up out of my chair and grabbed the guitar on the stand. I turned it over to see the emblem that no one knew what it was on the back. It kind of looked like a fairy but at the same time not. I don't really know. I put it over my shoulders and tune it perfectly. I get into the sound booth so not to disturb any of my neighbors and plug it into my amp. I turn on the CD player and put it on shuffle****. Surprisingly it turns to one of my favorite song, Butterfly by Wada Kouji. He may be Japanese but the lyrics mean nothing to me. I just care about the beat; that's what makes the music good if you ask me.

The song starts and I strum in time with the music. The beat flows from my ears to my hands to my foot. The ears took in the noise, the hands strummed and the foot kept time. It really brought me back to when he was 12. The year everything changed for me. The year that my best friend died by my hands. The one day that I can't let go of.

* It is pronounced Ay-men.
** Piece of shit for those who don't know.
*** Lord Death has been patient all this time because Eamonn is feeling guilty for a reason we'll cover later.
**** Eamonn always does this after school. He doesn't like IPods so he never bought one

AN: And that is it for this chapter. I've decided to do what I've seen the writer of Soul Eater does and have a character interaction thing. So what do you think of how you turned out Eamonn?

Eamonn: Thanks for making me look like a total jerk you idiot. (Makes a block of ice over his hand) Eamonn's Chop. (Hits my head)

Me: Youch. That's it I'm not giving you the girl you want then.

Eamonn: Thanks that's what I wanted. You'd have no one else to use.

Izaya: And I'm forgotten here. Thanks.

Yuki: Well to be fair you were supposed to be updated today but Edward couldn't fit his precious Izaya into his schedule to write your epicness.

Izaya: OK, but that's no excuse. Humans and their lack of time; it really is quite interesting and stupid at the same time.

Edward: You called for me?

Yuki: Not you Edward the red headed Edward.

Both of us: Which one?

Izaya: The tall one.

Both of us: Which one?

Eamonn: The annoying one.

Both of us: Which o- Hey!

Eamonn: Brought that upon yourselves.

Me: Fine. Let's just get on to something else.

Edward: Let's. To the OC form!

Eamonn: We're not going there.

Me: You doubt me? Do you mind Yuki?

Yuki: Since I haven't made an appearance in awhile sure. (Freezes Eamonn in a block of ice) Go ahead Edward the Pure.

Me: OK. For this I have a few requirements. Yes I know shocker. I need at least 4 other mains (2 pairs) and one staff teacher since I don't want use the awesome characters so I won't mess them up. I know I'm asking for a little much since my only loyal reader is LunarBlaze, who has read all of my stories except The Living Contradiction, which I just trashed anyway so it doesn't matter, and my other partially loyal reader is Fatherfail who has only read my FT fanfic. Not saying that he isn't a good person I just mean that he probably isn't interested in my other fanfic. I guess when you put it like that he is a loyal reader but oh well. I've put him in the loyal category anyway. So without further adu, I hope to get some OC's from you guys. (P.S. If I get a good enough OC I might use them as Eamonn's partner instead of the person I have planned for it)
