She looked at the small,tattered piece of paper with her supposed "Uncle" was. She checked the adress again, this was it. She didn't know if she should knock,or go back home. But,mother said she should go here,Uncle would know she's family by the natural red tips in her hair. But,what if he doesn't know it's her? What if he didn't want her? Shh,don't be afraid. You will always have me. The soul next to hers hugged her soul. Yes,I think I'll do it. I will. She knocked on the door in excited anticipation "Yes?"asked a tall man with firey red hair.
"Oh,um,ah."She handed him an envelope. He opened it and ever so slowly read the paper. She looked around, rocked back and forth on her shoes, messed with her hair. It'll be alright,don't be nervous.
"Come in."said the man,opening the door all the way. She picked up her bags and did as she was told. He sat down on a couch,she put down her bags and sat across from him on a chair. A picture of a blonde girl caught her eye.
"Is she your daughter? Why doesn't she have red hair?"the girl asked.
"Ya,that's my Maka. She took after her mother."The man smiled."So,Ayal,where are you from?"
"I don't know. Mother said I should come here. She said that you might be able to take care of me."she answered,staring at Maka.
"Do you know how old you are? Are you a meister? Or are you a weapon?"the man fired questions at her.
"I'm thriteen,what is a meister? I can turn into a sword and a staff. But I handle the mace and the bow and arrows inside of me too."
"What?"asked the red head in disbelief."I better tell Lord Death and Stein about this.." The man pulled out a phone and pressed some buttons,he stood up and walked away. A few minutes later the man took Ayal to the DWMA to talk to Dr. Stein and Lord Death in the Death room.
"Wazzup? Wazzup? Waaazuup?"asked Lord Death.
"I like your old mask and cloak better."remarked Ayal when she saw Lord Death.
"You know Lord Death?"asked a man with a screw in his head. Ayal cocked her head to the side.
"How'd did you get that screw in your head?"she asked.
"Why don't you go and play with the academy kids while the grown ups talk?"suggested Uncle. Ayal nodded and exited the room. Ayal wandered around the academy,ignoring the awed and confused stares.
"Excuse me,but are you lost?"asked a blonde. Ayal squinted,it was Maka.
"No Maka,I'm waiting for Uncle to be done with Lord Death and Docter Stein."Ayal replied.
"How did you know my name? And who's 'uncle'?"asked Maka,a boy with white hair strolled up behind her.
"Why,uncle told me. You should know your own father,Maka. I like your pig tails."Maka made a face as a boy with stripes in his hair ran up to her. We know him. His name's Death the Kid,remember?urged Zela,the soul next to hers.
"Your unsymmetrical! Your hair is unsymmetrical!"Kid cried,oh yes it's definetly Kiddo. thought Ayal. "You must let me fix it!" He was right,her left bangs were down while the rest of her hair was tied up.
"No,I can fix it."insisted Ayal. She took her ponytail out and ruffled her hair. Ayal's straight hair fell to her mid-back."You were always obssessed with symetry,even back then."
"Even back then?"asked Kid.
"YAHOO."a boy with blue hair sticking out from all sides fell right between Ayal and Death the Kid.
"I don't you. What's your name?"asked Ayal.
"I'm the amazing Black Star! I'm going to surpass god. And this is my weapon,Tsubaki."exclaimed Black Star, gesturing to a tall girl with long black hair.
"I'm so sorry!"she apologized. Ayal lifted a eyebrow in confusion,what did Black Star do wrong? Except he's really really annoying,maybe that was it.
"I challenge you to a fight!"yelled Black Star.
"Black Star,she doesn't even have a weapon-"protested Maka.
"I accept."interuppted Ayal.
"Alright!"screamed Black Star as he dragged Ayal outside by her wrist. Ayal looked mindlessly at the DWMA building as Black Star summoned Tsubaki's enchanted sword mode. Ayal put in her ear buds and listened to her music as Black Star charged at her. At the last moment,Ayal just barely dodged Black Star and a bow and a pouch filled with black arrows flashed into Ayal's hands. Black Star whirled around. Ayal hummed as she pulled back her arm,two arrows literally whistled through the air and landed into Black Star's chest and shoulder. The bow and arrows disappeared as Black Star fell to the ground. Ayal turned off her music and walked over to Black Star. Tsubaki turned back into human form and knelt next to Black Star.
"Black Star? BLACK STAR?"she cried."What did you do?" Ayal weedled the arrows out of Black Star's still body.
"Oh,don't worry. The arrows didn't go in far enough to kill him or anything."Ayal rumaged around in her jeans pocket and pulled out a bottle."Give him this every,hm,three hours or so and he should be fine in a few days."Ayal promised,handing the bottle to Tsubaki.
"What is this?"she asked.
"You don't wanna know..."said Ayal,shaking off the question. Ayal looked at the people who gathered at the stairs. Maka and Kid wore horrified expressions.
"Kishin."she whispered.
