(A/N: I'll give a warning now, this story does move rather fast paced. But, there is a reason for that. As I do with all my stories, I try and leave a small possibility for a Sequel. So before you criticize the pace, I know and I did it purposely. Plus, does love really have a average time span? Lol. Other than that any comments, opinions and criticism is more than welcomed.)
Jade: Alright, are you done you're blabbing, they are going to die of old age before the first damn Chapter!
Me: Shut it, what's it matter to you, you live for... ever!
Jade: Just because I'm a Shinigami doesn't mean I can't die, moron.
Me:I can make you die faster! You wouldn't be aroudn with out me!
Kid: -sigh-
Black Star: What the hell? Why am I not the star in this story? I'm the one bigger than the gods!
Me: You'll get your moment!

Kid wandered down the corridor heading towards his father's room. I wonder why honourable father would be calling for me at such an hour? It's only 7a.m. Were his thoughts as he entered the Death Room to stand before his father, the Shinigami himself and founder of this fine academy.
"Oh! Good morning! Your hair looks as cute as always!"
Kid's eyes narrowed at the thought of the three unsymmetrical stripes along the side of his head. He began to mumble and curse the vary nature of his blood as a Shinigami. With clenched teeth he questioned his seemingly cheerful father.
"What do you want, honourable father?"
Shinigami tilted his head at the strained voice of his son but shrugged it off.
"I seem to have sent new students into something they couldn't handle!"
Kid nodded, waiting for his father to continue. The two just stood, staring at one another.
"That explained nothing..."
Kid said blandly curious to how his father could be so... dense.
"Heh! I need you to go help them!"
More moments passed as Shinigami stared at his son who gave him a rather unappealing stare. He tilted his head to the side in a confused, childish behaviour.
"Where do I need to go?"
"Oooh! Riight..., the forest."
Kid just dropped to the ground, for a student needing help, his father was rather absent minded about it.
After finally forcing all the information about his mission from his father, Kid managed to get back to Gallows Mansion that himself, Liz and Patti share for a living quarters. He pushed the doors open with force and making a very showy entrance.
"Absolutely perfect," he stood with both his hands showing peace signs. "Liz, Patti, lets go! We have an important mission we must complete!"
The two sister's peeked from behind a door frame with quizzical looks.
"Where are we going?" Liz questioned suspiciously as she no longer trusted the 'important' missions they have been given.
"Rumour has it that new a new student is in need of back-up and my honourable father feels best if we rescue them."
The two sister's looked at one another and shrugged their shoulders. It couldn't hurt, could it?
The three walked though a thick foliage jungle. The elder, Liz was more-or-so cowardly, crouching behind Kid. Where, Patti was running in circles chasing a couple of the many insects that buzzed around the threesome.
"WAH!" Liz jumped as something 'touched' her leg.
Her little sister just laughed at the behaviour, as she did everything. Kid was perfectly protected from the bugs and plants that they walked through from his cloak that gave him a striking resemblance to his father. A black, jagged cloak with a mask in the shape of a skull. The sister's had simple, beige cloaks with hoods. This protection was defiantly not enough for the elder sister.
"Why is someone way out here? Are you sure were in the right place Kid?"
Her voice was shaky from her intense fear of predators and bugs.
"Yes, honourable father did mention its was... out of the way. It's shocking a student was sent all the way out here."
"Who is this person? Is it a girl or boy?" Patti questioned as she watched a colourful caterpillar type bug run circles around a branch.
"I'm not to sure who they are. It seems today was their first day at Shibusen."
During other matters, a girl was being held up by her own ankle from a very tall dark-skinned man. He wore rings on his neck, which had stretched it to an odd length. All his limbs seemed to have these golden rings around them. If not covered by rings, black tribal tattoos were etched into his skin.
"Let go of me you stupid, bug-eating, piece of-"
With a great force the offended man threw the girl into a tree. The tree's thick frame stopped her abruptly and let her fall to the ground. The grass gave her no sympathy either as she hurled a wad of blood onto them. Holy shit... How is this guy so strong? She questioned herself as she tried to push herself onto her feet.
"ความกลัว จะ ทำลาย คุณ, หูป่าตาเถื่อน เพศหญิง!"
The man walked slowly toward her injured body.
"Vic! Wanna translate for me?"
A boy just barely pushed his own head out of a pile of debris.
"Something along the lines of, "Fear will eat you, you stupid female". You know, taking some language classes wouldn't hurt you."
He finally managed to crawl out of the debris as he heard his partner laugh. His clothes were quite worn out and there was blood coming from his head and mouth. He looked almost worse then the female coming close to serious danger. He stood straight and cracked his own neck. The girl still had a smile on her face as she looked up at the tall man now towering over her. I have never felt so damn short. She knew what was coming, and she didn't have the motivation to actually move. The fact she still stood on her hands and knees was unbelievable as is. Man, this has been one long friggen day. She smiled as she watched the panic take over her partner's features realizing what was going through her mind.
"Jade!"
As a spear formed in the man's hand, he brought his arm up with a large, uncanny smile over his face. The girl closed her eyes and waited for the final strike.
Just within shelter of large ferns and greater trees, Kid and the sister's crouched in the shadows. They watched what was happening before them. Patti and Liz both gasped as they watched the girl be thrown into a large tree.
With a nudge Liz expressed her concern, "Kid, we should go help her now!" silence, she looked over unable to see his facial expression due to the mask. "Kid?"
Patti lifted the mask and both girl's raised a brow in disbelief. Kid's golden-yellow eyes were wide and his jaw hung open in a very boorish manner.
"The symmetry, it is absolutely perfect."
Liz looked over trying to figure out what had Kid bewitched. She couldn't see anything symmetrical in this death-trap of a forest.
"It's, it's, it's all soo... They are all symmetrical!"
Liz grabbed Kid's cloak and shook him out of his trance as Patti just laughed, "We have to save her, she's about to be impaled!"
Kid looked over and realized with panic at the scene in front of him.
"Liz, Patti!"
They nodded and transformed into the pistols that they were. Kid pounced out of his hiding spot and fired with all of his might. Florescent, pink, glowing bullets struck the man sending him in an off-beat dance into the forest wall.
"Whoa..." Jade pushed herself and fell back against the tree, "Who are you?"
"I'm Lord Shinigmai's honourable son, Death the Kid. This is Liz," the elder sister transformed back into her human self, followed by the younger. "And this is Patti."
The boy from earlier strolled up to stand protectively in front of the injured girl. His silver eyes glared at the new arrivals with a defensive and hostile gaze.
"Jade are you alright?" he asked as he absently helped her stand.
"Oh, I'm fine and dandy. I feel like dancing in a field of flowers singing fuc-"
The man from earlier re-appeared and burst out with his body mass that had seemed to have doubled. Screaming in a foreign tone he tackled Kid knocking both Patti and Liz off their feet. Jade quickly grabbed her partner and twirled her fingers as the boy transformed into a butterfly knife.
"Kid!" Liz hollered out to the boy, quickly being distracted for her sister's safety. "Patti! Are you okay?"
The younger sister was a few feet away, knocked out cold. Liz rushed over to try and wake up her sibling while shouts and groans were heard from inside the forest. Jade held her torso as she twirled the knife around her fingers and hand.
"You're defiantly cooking tonight Vic."
"Screw you! I'm not the one who decided to make fun of the insane, evil guy."
Jade grasped the blade steadily and put it right up to her eyes, glaring at the faint picture of her partner. The boy pulled down his eye and stuck out his tongue.
"ตาย! ตาย สำหรับการ ความตายพระเจ้า!"
Kid struggled on the ground as he tried to hold off the spear tip from his throat. This man was clearly smaller when I first attacked him... Blood from the new wound on his head got into his eye and he hissed from the sharp pain. The next thing he knew the girl swung over a branch and came down on the large enemy. The spear was kicked out of both hands and she wrapped around the golden neck of the man. Kid laid there as he watched the blade pierce between the golden rings of the neck and the large man turn into the small red kishin egg. His breathing was ragged as he watched the girl spin a weapon around her fingers with skill. Clearly, she's not new with a weapon. Kid thought.
"Thanks Kid, I've been looking for an opening to strike him."
Jade held out her hand as she stashed the weapon into the on the front of her belt. Kid was dazed from what just happened and hesitantly took the girl's hand. As he stood he noticed the two sister's on the ground in the small clearing the fight began in. He rushed over to check the safety of his partners.
"Liz! Patti! Are you alright?"
"Mhm, Patti is just a little dazed. What about you? What happened to the evil human?"
"The girl finished him off."
"The name's Jade."
Vic made his way out of the holster into a human form, holding up a peace sign at the newcomers, "Mines Vic."
The crew walked through the forest, returning back to Death City.
"So, what are you three doing all the way out here?"
"It was a mission from honourable father. I was told you needed some assistance."
"So, you two are sister's and your both pistols?" Vic questioned the two sisters.
They just nodded in response, ignoring the obvious flirtations of the silver-haired boy. Patti was still to dazed to keep up with her childish behaviour.
"So, if your new to Shibusen, why were you given such a risky mission?" Liz questioned the girl.
Jade shrugged, "New? I'm not in Shibusen," Jade commented slightly confused. "I've always wanted to check out that place... And this was my own mission. I hunt evil human's. It's sort of a hobby I guess."
Kid stopped, thinking of an explanation... Why would honourable father send me here if she wasn't a student? For the time being he decided he would just complete the mission and question his father later.
"Well, did you want to return to Shibusen with us? Even though you seem well trained enough." Kid questioned, becoming a little weary on the girl.
"I've always wanted too. My mother was very strict and always told me how Lord Shinigami was an evil man and how I would be better off not even going near Death City... But hey, if the options open, I'm up for it. You know what it's like, the rush of being a rebel." she winked and lightly nudged the boy who was just a couple inches taller. "Plus, I always thought it would be fun being around a large group of technicians and weapons alike. Me and Vic never had any ties other than my mother back at home so travelling has been, like a past-time for me."
They all went quiet. Kid looked over at the two with a suspicious gaze. Time went by and soon enough they all made it back to the Death City and to the academy.
Jade sat in the hospital bed, both her and Vic were insisted to stay in the infirmary for a night. She didn't mind, free meals and a time to relax, it was great. The girl heard a knock and looked over to see Vic in a deep slumber.
"Come in." She said in a hushed tone.
Kid let himself in and noticed the slumbering boy.
"Sorry, should I come back another time?"
"Nah. That guy sleeps through everything. What's up?"
Jade pushed herself up and smiled at the boy. It was nice to see him, she did owe him her life right about this point.
"I talked with my honourable father, he sent me because he thought you would be a valuable ally to he academy. Also, I just thought I should come down and make sure you are alright."
"Sounds like an adventure. I suppose I'll stick around for now."
This was easier than I thought. Was the girl's true thoughts. Kid just nodded as he took a couple steps closer toward the bed. The two sat in silence, if you ignored the excessive snoring from the boy beside them. Jade watched the shinigami with a perked interest. She couldn't see him as a real sociable type.
"You're not one for chatter are you?"
"I just met you, I'm not really sure on what I should say."
"Huh, weird. I always thought new people were easier to talk to. It's like a clean slate, you can ask anything."
I guess getting to know people can't be too hard... Kid thought back to his previous conversation with her, and thought of how Maka was toward Crona when she first arrived. But, He looked up at Jade, ...she's much different than Crona and I'm hardly Maka.
"Do you not have a good relationship with your mother?"
Jade looked quizzical, "Huh, why do you ask?"
Kid walked over and leaned back against the window ledge, staring down at the ground.
"Before, your tone seemed bitter when you mentioned her. Do you resent her in some way?"
Jade looked back toward Vic, checking if he really was sleeping. When she turned around the vision of the boy and the deep, red sky, outlined his very black and white attire. It caused his eyes to look a very deep colour. For a moment, with the scheme of things, she swore the very being of her father was right in front of her.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten into such personal issues."
She shook herself from the daze and just chuckled.
"No, no. I'm sorry, I zoned out. I never really had many similarities with my mother. I think it's my own paranoia that drove me away from her. I was constantly blaming my mother for... um, for my father's... disappearance."
Kid saw something in her deep red eyes. Something he wasn't quite sure he could really relate to. For some reason he had this urge to want to relate to the girl. To have something he could share with her to help her. But the thing that quickly blanketed these thoughts was the strange feeling that he has seen these eyes before.
"Who is-"
"Kid! Visiting hours are over."
"Wha- Miss Nygus! My apologies."
"You know not to be here! These patients need sleep, now out. Out."
Jade laughed at the bewildered boy as he was shoved out of the room. When silence took over again the girl laid back down and stared at the laughing moon.
I'm quite excited to finally have this up! I decided I'm going to write this and finish it, than edit it THEN put it up so I have no excuses for having chapters up late or not at all XD. Well I hope you enjoy this.
P.S I know I left one line untranslated and I apologize. I felt like I should leave it. Encase you were curious I'm more than sure it's around the lines of It's time to die Death boy..., I could be slightly wrong, but I do remember it was a threatening line towards Kid.
