Chapter 1- The Madness Begins


The light slowly faded as the darkness started to eat away at her waking mind trying to pull her deeper into the depths the welcoming embrace of the cold. Agony was everywhere as before the very darkness she watched the crazed dual colored eyes background by her blood splatter all over her face... she reached out to the person watching the smirk turn to a huge grin of glee as those beautiful hues turn even more crazed as she watched the madness take over her as the darkness engulfed her...

'Lilith...I'm sorry..' were the last thoughts before the darkness welcomed her into its arms trying to steal her last breathe.

It was a massacre that was the only word that could make it in his mind seeing blood paint and splatter the walls, the bodies and the floor. He walked down the alley taking in the gory site with a critical eye, the blood look fresh still walking further in as his weapons refused to walk into the blood trap he whole heartily agreed with them but his father wanted him to lead the search party and this was a huge clue to see where they most likely went. Stepping over the bodies he flinched seeing all the asymmetry, he wanted to fix it but it was best if he didn't touch anything.

"ASTEROTH!" came the scream from his actually more mature weapon, Lizzy watching as she ran in pass him. His eyes followed her to find her kneeling in a pool of blood but her hair was redder then the blood surrounding her and Lizzy.

Lizzy was frantic placing 2 of her fingers against the pulse in her neck eyes flickering with desperation. Then she looked around looking for her handler/meister, eyes took on an odd glow realizing the emerald green haired meister wasn't among the fallen bodies or even here. There it was faint but enough to give her hope that she was still alive but barely her teeth grind against each other pondering what had happened here. Lilith would never leave Asteroth behind this kept getting weirder looking up to her left seeing the shadow of Death the Kid staring down at her, she knew that look like he couldn't believe what he was seeing, he was usually sensible but she couldn't blame him this all didn't make sense. Her was Asteroth but no Lilith, no something was amiss even as Kid reached down running a finger along the paling skin of Asteroth.

"She is still symmetrical." came his somewhat oblivious words, Lizzy felt the overwhelming urge to smack him now for the comment. She went to pick her up but Kid beat her to the punch cradling her in his arms without even calling out to her to follow he just walked out as the rest of the search party appeared.

Lord Death watched the mirror with a sense of worry he didn't think it would have gone from bad to worse. His worry only increased upon seeing what really transpired between the Meister Lilith and her weapon Asteroth. She almost paid with her life to bring Lilith back from the brink of insanity not even their bond could bring her back. She was lost to them but there was hope for Asteroth. Turning from the mirror as his soon appeared panting face flush his black suit had blotches of blood from the package he carried so preciously.

Gold clashed with the voids of his father's skull mask, there was no telling what his father was thinking or feeling but he had wanted to let him know before taking off with a panting Patty and Lizzy just now catching up with him as he took to the hospital wing letting the nurse have a look.

His patience wasn't holding up tonight as the creepy crescent moon grinned down upon them all with its own bit of madness.

A scream caught their attention from the waiting room, upon hearing it Kid rushed in seeing the nurse cradling her slightly burned hand as something purple cracked and pulsed along Asteroth's form. Narrowing his eyes he gazed back to the nurse fear seemed to glow in those black hues.

"she has been touched by madness.." came her whispered response to his question.

"Is she going mad?" came Patty's oblivious question gazing at the slumbering weapon.

Before the nurse could have a chance to speak Lizzy snorted eying Asteroth.

"she isn't going mad Patty." came Lizzy's answer.

"well no matter I have called Dr. Stein to come in and have a look." the nurse stated wrapping her hand up after applying burn ointment.

Kid narrowed his eyes not enjoying the thought of his teacher touching her, but he will be here so nothing will get out of hand he reassured himself after straightening himself up to be symmetrical. Oh how he hated such an asymmetrical world, but there was only so much he could do to stop it or fix it.

Snake-like orbs kept watch on her newest collection as it wandered around her room with those darkening dual colored orbs, oh such a sinful thought a shiver of joy racked her body making her smirk. This would fit nicely into her agenda, oh how she would taunt them placing their madden meister back in their sights watch how the mighty have fallen from grace to join the ranks of the crazed. Such delicious thoughts, there was the matter of her unpredictability though she wasn't an ally more like the means to an end, yet if her insanity becomes an issue she will end it herself then adjust her plans around that much safer since she was indeed so unstable. Oh how Medusa hated when plans would change but she will wait to see if they would need to, this one would hit two birds with one stone if the insane meister stayed predictable long enough to be useful. Slaughter her own companion was the icing on the cake for her to bring the crazed teen under her scales and train her for her sole purpose to distract the equally induced crazed Dr. Stein, he would be the main problem, not those snot nose teens that he teaches. Seeing the crazed grin on her lips, oh yes how the mighty have and will fall...

It had been 3 day since the incident Dr. Stein was in front of the class teaching something else, yet again he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the loony bin teacher while his red eyes fixed on the 2 empty seats in front. He just wished they would finish their mission and come back. He missed seeing the blood red wavy locks of the out going, humorous hammer weapon Asteroth.

His red eyes gazed over to his partner, Maka who was zoning out herself gazing at the empty seat next to their outrageously loud friend, Black star.

'where's Kagome?' Soul mentally asked shifting his gaze over to Blackstar who was actually... paying attention for once wow shock there. Hell even Kagome's weapon partner is missing as well. He pondered if it was a mission as well. Well he didn't care his eyes went back to Asteroth's desk again.

Stein was just rambling as his mind knew what to say to his students while he was in deep thought putting his body on auto pilot. Lilith Shinjiro was missing and her weapon partner was in ICU with Kid refusing to leave her side clutching her hand. What really intrigued him was what danced along her body hurting the war hammer. Oh he knew that it was madness the minute he walked in the nurse figured the war hammer was falling into madness but he knew better, it wouldn't have been dancing along her form if it was her own madness oh no.. it was very much the madness of the person who handled her last since they are bonded. He wanted to exam what lay under the honey milk flesh of the war hammer but the glares that were being thrown at him from Kid stopped him. Will just have to wait another time oh yes it will have to wait, his own madness making a peek in his mind.

Two teens stood outside the door to the hospital wing, brown eyes rolled upwards in annoyance waiting on his friend to figure out what they wanted to do. Storm colored hues glared at the knob as if it was her enemy, she had caught word from Patty that Asteroth was in ICU currently with Kid by her side. A blush dusted her cheeks thinking of the young reaper but shook her head gazing shyly at the one who now held her crushing heart a deeper red flushed her cheeks.

"Are you okay?" he went to cheek her forehead since her face resembled a tomato which wasn't healthy he figure but she jerked out of his reach opening the door disappearing behind it. Blinking in confusion, 'she is so weird sometimes.. but that's what makes her cute..' he thought then his eyes widened. 'did I just call her cute.?' shaking his head chasing away those thoughts as he followed after his partner finding her standing far off looking in a direction.

Her partner stopped next to her, she couldn't move her eyes from the image before her. There she laid bruised and hurt, tears welled up in her eyes would have thought her dead if it wasn't for the slight raise and fall of her chest but what really made her blink now was how Kid was fast asleep his face nuzzling her hand that he held like a life line like it would disappear any second.

"Kagome we should come back later..." her partner whispered watching what she was looking at.

Shaking her head, Kagome walked over taking a seat on the other side of Asteroth chewing on her bottom lip in nervous thought. He knew that gesture and placed a tan hand on her shoulder.

"she's alive that is what matters Kagome." he reassured her.

"I know, Inuyasha.." her voice cracked a bit in worry and concern. His own gaze turned to the bloody beauty slumbering. Seeing her without Lilith was a new sight he hope he didn't get use to seeing. Turning his eyes to Kagome who placed her hands on Asteroth's chest letting them glow a soft blue helping the healing process along for their friend.

Her powers came in handy in situations like this but very few knew of what she was her mother was a witch a healing witch which she passed her powers down to her daughter, her father had run out on them leaving her mother to raise her by herself. He had told her mother some horrible things but she never went into detail even the older she had gotten saying that she didn't want her daughter to see her father in a negative light which Kagome would argue that he ran out on them, he was already seen in a negative light no changing that but her mother had passed on keeping that bit of information to herself, much to Kagome's despair but.. she looked over to Inuyasha as if he could sense her pending fatigue from using the healing. She shifted her gaze as she was lifted bridal style her friend looked healthier that is what matters leaning her head into his chest closing her eyes.

'where are you Lilith?' was her final thoughts as she was carried off to their home.

The darkness that held her hostage played memory lane for the tortured soul of the war hammer. Her white wash hues watched her final moments, her fight with Lilith. They had been on a mission to collect a soul what turned from one soul turned to about 5 more souls, she was always eager to reach her fullest potential with her partner she would get there they were both determined to make own place.

What turned from collecting souls, she felt a shock of something dark and unstable hit her soul. Then there was silence as she called out to her partner, Lilith in worry of what was going on then she saw something she could never stop seeing. A deranged looked appeared on her face that huge grin of pure glee and enjoyment appeared before Lilith had used her to slaughter the left over souls. She felt something trying to swallow her whole into their insane abyss. She was not afraid for herself but her sister like friend who looked like she had easily succumb to the wretched calls and promises of the insanity.

She had turned human once more facing off with her partner trying to reason with her, but all she got was that same deranged look of glee and enjoyment of the blood. She had pleaded and begged Lilith to return home so she can be looked at. Lilith deemed herself fine and that she was the one who was trying to take the spot light of power away from her and hog the attention like always... the dual colored eyes darkened on her. She felt the unease return before Lilith was on top of trying to end her existence. If she would die it would not be like this.. NEVER like this and not against Lilith.. with a growl she shoved back where it was friend against friend. But madness gave Lilith one thing Asteroth didn't have, strength without pain. Not matter how much she tried to avoid it she had to slow her down enough to be knocked out but it was like her hits and stabs and slashes didn't even matter like it was a fly bugging her... in the end, Lilith had walked away the winner while the madness tried reasoning with Lilith one last time, she swore she would not go insane it chased away the madness knowing when it was a lost cause. She may want to become more powerful but it was not something madness could give her without its price.

The darkness seemed to be less bleak as the memory faded something bright called to her reaching for the brightness a warmth filled her relaxing her torment and pain. Darkness seemed a lot brighter then she remembered it being as bright fuzzy took on shapes, her head ached as the brightness turned into shapes of white lights..

'Heaven?' did someone like her deserved to be in such a haven, no she failed her best friend... turning her head to her left seeing the black hair with the peaceful face of Kid..

'no this is hell for sure.. its more fitting.' she looked back to gaze at the ceiling.

"Didn't think hell would have white walls." she mumbled eying the annoying white walls.

He felt the twitches of muscles in the hand he held, his tired gold gaze watched the movements of her head as the blood red locks brushed against his pale cheek bring a small smile to his face. His unease put to rest till he heard her words about hell and white walls, he chuckled at her but knowing being so close to dying would make me think twice about if I was actually alive.

White wash clashed with tired gold he had questions but he didn't have the heart to ask them when she looked so lost staring at him questioning her own sanity.

"Asteroth..." the relief in his voice to say her name made the pain all more real. She was alive it did really happen and Lilith really did try to kill her.

He saw the zoning in and out of her eyes as if realization dawned and overwhelmed her very being.

Kid decided to get the nurse to take a look at her with a smile and a promise of being back with the nurse he walked off.

She watched him leave the room closed in on her as she was left alone in her thoughts...

Was insanity claiming her as she clutched her head tucking her knees to her chest as images flooded her mind making her remember all at once. Closing her eyes tight trying to make it stop.

Soul jerked awake... He knew that scream.. 'Asteroth!'

Kagome/Sesshomaru (because I am a K/S fan myself LOL) 3. OC(Lilith)/Stein (cause madness makes the world go round) 4. Kid/OC/SoulEater 5. Rin/Blackstar.
