Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Simple as that, except all the characters are mine all but the main ones, such as Death the Kid and Tsubaki, they are not mine. I hope you enjoy this is my first story.
Chapter One
I didn't think we were even close to being normal. Theres meisters, weapons, and witches. Each one does something different. For instance weapons. Weapons are people who can become a weapon, like a gun or a knife for instance. Then theres the meisters, meisters are pretty much the handler of the weapon, they're the ones that use it. As for witches, well their witches the only thing they can do is use magic, but each witch has a different type of power that they use. It all seems pretty well thought out. Right? Now there are some weapons who don't need a meister, and then there are some who can become many different weapons, but thats not what we are. If anyone asked they would all agree that me and brother are just something strange. The two us, we're weapons but we can also transform into an animal. Not only that but me and Evans are twins. That doesn't seem that weird does it? Well its not the fact that we're twins that's different about us. Unlike other twins we don't transform into the same type of weapon or animal, instead its two completely different things. For me, I become a sword, and I transform into a fox, a pure white fox with three tails. As for Evans, he becomes a scythe and he transforms into a wolf. We really are nothing alike like even our hair color is different. Mine is pure white and Evans is blonde. The only similarity we have is we both have blue eyes. Damn, the more I talk about it the more I feel as though we really don't belong here, that and Evans hates me bringing it up. He feels as though the way I talk about it makes the two of us sound like some kind of rejected lab experiment. I guess I agree with him.
Anyways I'm Ivory and me and Evans are just a few of the students here at the academy, and because we're weapons we have a meister partner, just like the rest the of the students here. I think thats the only thing that makes us like the rest.
Now my partner is Jett. He is super attractive and really funny. He is tall and slim not scrawny. He has light brown eyes and deep jet black black hair. He's the guy one would think all the girls at the academy would be fighting for. But the truth is not a lot of them really like him. Yes he's attractive and funny but his funny is perverted and you really do have to a dirty mind to get his jokes. Its not all that bad he isn't a perverted guy its just his jokes are. Now, Jett like the other meisters can see souls they can sense them and they can read them, buts for Jett its a bit harder for him. He has to really focus and concentrate to even sense a soul. But once he senses one he can detect just how far away it is and how we can defeat it. This isn't always the best though when we get attacked by surprise.
Oh, Evans' partner Scarlet! I should say a bit about her. She's a meister too just like Jett but her sense is way stronger than Jett's. She has hair that matches her name, its a scarlet red. Her eyes are a beautiful blue. She is so caring its scary to think that she choose my brother to be her partner. I mean like Evans is super outgoing and sarcastic. Scarlet on the other hand is usually quiet, but she does have a dark mind. Not something one would expect from her but that who she is.
So thats our partners, both a boy and girl pairing. There is a boy boy pairing and these two are the weirdest pair ever. Its Crescent and Grey. Crescent is a meister, and a bit weaker then Jett, in fact he can only see souls thats it. He too is attractive but hes a bit of a douche. He has blonde hair with white streaks, and his eyes are gray almost metallic like. Now Grey is adorable, still a douche at times but he really is super sweet. He's a weapon and he is a bit different from the other weapons, nothing like me and Evans, but most weapons can only be one weapon at a time. If a meister wanted two weapons they would have two weapon partners. Not Crescent though, he has Grey and he becomes two throwing knives. Grey also has a unique appearance. He has dark blue hair and one blue eye the other is red and cat like.
Well Evans is getting mad at me because I'm not writing what has happened lately. I don't really want to write about that. Believe me a lot has happened. Okay so Evans is not going to drop it so I'm gonna go ahead.
Rain was pouring and I was running over to Jett. "Jett!" I scream to him. He was just standing there looking up at what was in front him. It was nothing like we're ever fought before. It just stood there towering over Jett. I had to get to over by Jett as his weapon I can not let him get hurt, and he can't fight without me. I continue to run but I'm too far away. I need to get to him. Running like this is not going to get me there in time, so I transform into Lyria, a pure white fox with three tails. I run like this until I get close enough to him to hear him scream "NOW!" With these words I transform into weapon mood. In a flash I go straight into Jett's open hands as a sword. Even with water dripping from his hair and his hands he still holds onto the handle of my blade tight. He looks up at the creature with more confidence and with a smirk he grinds his teeth and charges towards the creature full force. Within a second he jumps into the air and with a quick swoosh of my blade the creature vanishes and leaves behind its soul. Jett loosens his grip and I transform back to my normal form. I walk slowly from Jett's side to the soul left behind. I reach out pick it up and place it into my small bookbag.
"That should make 74 souls right?" Jett says as he brushes his hair out of his face.
"Yep thats number 74." I say as I close my bag. I then turn to face Jett. Hes looking up into the sky with a worried look on his face. "Jett?"
"Yeah Ivory?" He says without moving his focus on the sky.
"Um... its nothing."
"Huh?" He looks over to me, now with a more worried look on his face then before. "Come on now it was something. So what is it?"
"I was just wondering if you were alrighty."
"Yeah I'm fine." He says as he fakes a smile to make me feel better.
" Alrighty if you say so."
"Good because I really am fine." He looks back to me after awhile. "We should head back."
" Yeah." I smile and skip to his side linking my arms to his. I want to hold his hand but this is the best I can do now. As we walk back I look up to him and his eyes sparkle with the light of the sun shining down. I wish that I could stay right there forever just like this. I then rest my head on his arm as we continue to walk to the academy to report to Lord Death.
That night at home Evans went to the store to get food for the next week. While he was gone I stayed in the my room laying down on my bed looking at the ceiling. It felt as though he was gone for hours as I layed there. Only a few minutes have past since Evans left. Why can't I think straight lately? All I could think about was Jett. This has never happened before so why is this happening now? Fuck! I need to stop. Something needs to happen to get my mind off things.
I couldn't wait in that house I needed to get out so I walked around town. I walked with my head down. I didn't feel like talking to anyone I just needed the air and the space. I took maybe 8 steps from my yard when I ran into Titan. I've talked to him a few times but I don't really know him.
I looked up to see it was him, tall and pale his hair was a light purple almost pink-like and his eyes had just the slightest hint of blue to them. I was breathless, and I just ran into this kid!
"Oh, um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean-" I started to apologize but he cut me off.
"Oh its no problem if you meant to or not." He looked down at me and smiled. I felt so short standing by him with him looking down at me the way he was.
Titan is a meister without a weapon. He had no partner. He was pretty much everyone's punching bag and servant. He didn't seem to mind though it was like he just wanted the attention. He always had on a positive outlook for things. He was someone I admired. I felt bad that he didn't have a weapon knowing that all the meisters I know had one. It made me feel worse that I was one.
"Hey Titan?" I wanted to offer my help but I wasn't sure what to say, and at that moment his smile vanished and he looked shocked and worried at the same time.
"Yeah?"
"Um I was wondering if you needed anything?" I felt awkward so I faked a smile.
"Oh, no I'm good." He smiled back so innocently. "But if you wanna talk later, I'll be fine with that."
"Okays." I never felt so excited and relieved in my life. Hes been through so much and yet, he makes me forget all that when I talk to him. Hes so sweet. I can tell that I like him already.
"Well its getting late now. I'll see you around then?" He smiles as though the world has no meaning.
"Oh yeah and of course." I want to feel bad for him but I smile back and this time I didn't fake it; it was a real smile. I felt warm. I looked up to the sky and he was right it was getting late. I should be heading back home by now. I looked back to Titan and I stood on my tipy toes and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I was hugging Titan goodbye. He stood in shock for a while but he then gave me a hug back. Neither of us would let go.
"Well I'll see you around then. I have to get back home." I say as I let go and start walking backwards.
"Okays, and yeah you will."
I make my way back to the house. I can feel my cheeks burning. How long have I been blushing? I open the door and walk in, I take off my shoes and make my way to my room.
"So Evans whats tonight?" I don't pay attention to the rest of the house as I walk. I don't even know if hes home yet. Then a loud crash comes from the kitchen. "Evans?" I rush into the kitchen. When I get there I find Evans on the floor covered in pots and pans. "Evans what did you do now?"
"Huh? Oh um I don't know." Evans has never been clumsy before what is going on? It could just be a one time thing though I mean I'm usually the one who puts the dishes away. I don't let it get to me.
"So Evans whats for dinner tonight?" I'm sure its something that needs to be cooked by the fact hes covered in pots and pans.
"We were gonna have a roast but I can't find the pot." He stands up moving the pots and pans off of him making even more of a racket then before.
"Then let me find something to make. What did you get?"
"Just what I normally get."
"Okay. Just let me make dinner tonight. You may want to take an ice bath."
"Yeah you're right. Okay dinner is up to you tonight. Try not to kill me."
"I won't." I already know what I want to make so all is good. I go through the pantry and the fridge gathering all I need. Once I started to get everything together my phone went off. I looked at the screen I got a message from Jett. Now is not the time to be messaging me, but I have to see what's going on. I check the message and its about a new mission and he needed me ASAP. Its almost ten o'clock! I look to the door. I have to go I can't let Evans know though, he would flip and call up Scarlet. I know Scarlet hates late night missions. I don't want him to get in trouble with her later because he woke her up. I transform into Lyria and dash out the door. I need to get there quick and I don't want to wake the town up. Lyria is the only way I can leave without Evans noticing. Sometimes I thank the fact that I can become an animal as well as a weapon, but only sometimes. Now is just one of those moments.
I make my way out of town and I'm out of breath. Where am I going? Did he tell me where he is? I don't think he did. I stop and take break to look around. I then notice that I've never been down here before. I'm sure I'm not to far out of town, so this must be the black woods. Man it sure does look different at night. Soon I hear a twig snap in half I transform back to normal and turn quickly to look back. I can't fight like this. All I can do is see who it is. I see the shadow move closer to me, it doesn't seem like it attached to anyone. I start to breath in deeply, I stare at the shadow it seems to be coming from behind me. I can't turn my body won't move, it's like I'm scared to look. Just then hands grab my sides and I jump a loud squeak escapes my mouth. I cover my mouth and turn around to see that it was Jett.
"Fuck! Jett?" I throw my fists into his chest. He slightly falls back and he wraps his arms around me.
"What?" He smiles down at me and the way he questions me is just so playful. I can never take him serious.
"Gosh Jett! Nothing. Its nothing." I didn't know what to say. He makes me so mad sometimes, but I can never stay mad at him. Sometimes I pretend to be mad just to see what would happen, it never goes very far though he always finds a way to make me smile. Its either that or I just can't keep a straight face looking at him. Even when he looks super serious. Unless he is being serious then I know that I have to be serious too. Like now now is not the time to be joking around. I mean hes the one who messaged me to come down here and yet hes the one joking around. I just want to know what's going on.
Just when I think this I look up to Jett and his eyes even at night they still have that shine to them. Its just one of those things that makes me think about what happens in movies. Those scenes that just make life seem so perfect. This isn't the first time this has happened to me when I'm with Jett. In fact this just about always happens to me when I'm wrapped up in his arms or laying down next to him, anything really. But its that moment that just feels like you're in a movie and the two of you are about to kiss and all you're doing is waiting for him to look down at you. But its not going to happen. I don't know what his feelings are for me. Well I do but I don't know if its true or not. So I'll be the good girl that I am and just be me, and just see what happens.
Then something strange happens. I'm still in Jett's arms pressed against his chest. He leans down holding me even tighter and whispers into my ear. He speaks in a soft tone and I couldn't believe that he was saying this to me. In his soft voice I heard him say "Lyria". He has never asked for me to become Lyria before, in fact he's never even seen me as Lyria. I think hes only heard about that form. I don't know why hes telling me to transform into that form, but then I hear something far off into the distance like something or someone is coming our way. I nod my head and transform into Lyria. Now that I'm in my Lyria form all of my senses are a lot stronger. I don't know what Jett wants me to do though. I don't even know why he needed me.
I just stand there facing into the woods. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I stood there for who knows how long, and i didn't even know what I needed to do. I soon gave up and layed down. I don't know what he wanted me to do, but he soon came over and sat right next to me. Soon I heard something in the distance I lifted my head up and my ears starting twitching trying to figure out where the sound was coming from. I don't know what Jett though was happening but he starting to pet my head as if trying to calm me down. The sounds started to get even closer and closer. Jett doesn't seem to notice the sounds, so I stood up and started growling. Whatever or whoever it is out there Jett needs to know about it. After awhile I gave up on that too. This time when I layed down I went back to normal. I get tired of being a fox after a while knowing that no one understands me.
"What are we here for?" I finally ask. I'm so tired its gotta be like at least eleven by now, if not already twelve. He doesn't answer, so I look over to see him asleep. Really? The sounds from before come back. I transform into Lyria again and wait. I can't fight as a weapon if my meister is asleep, so this is the best I got right now. I can't even go anywhere to see what is out there, because that means I would have to leave Jett here. That means he would be put in danger, and as a weapon its my job to keep him safe, even if that means being killed myself.
The noises get louder. I can finally make out what it is. It sounds like foot steps, so its someone. Then all is silent again. What is going on? Maybe it was just my imagination, so I start to lay back down. Thats when the footsteps came back. I know this is real and they're really close now. I begin to growl in the direction of the footsteps. As they get closer I crouch down. Not to long after that a knife cuts through the air and lands right beside me. What the hell? I look over to see the knife sticking out of the ground centimeters away from me. Gosh I wish Jett was awake right now. Footsteps continue to approach but this time they're moving fast. Whovere it is out there is running. They're running straight at me! This is not good at all. I can't do anything like this. I can't fight! They're still running, now even faster. What am I gonna do? I continue growling still crouched down, I can faintly see something now and they are really close to me. They then get to the end of the woods and slide across the road once they stop running. They stop right in front of me. Before I could look up to see who it really was they crouch down and start to pet my head.
"There, there now. Its just me." I know that voice. But from where? Why does this calm me down? As he pets my head I stop and I push my head into their hand. Just then the knife that was beside me transformed back to their normal form and they started to make kissy noises to are these two? Mostly why am I going along with this? Its almost like they're playing with me. I look up to see who is petting my head, and I see... Crescent! Hold on if thats Crescent then the other one is... I look over to see Grey. What are these two doing here? Wait do they even know its me?
"Aww you're a cutie." Crescent continues to pet my head. Why haven't I moved away from him? From what their saying they don't know its me. That and his touch is so calming. In its own weird and twisted way it's relaxing.
"Hey now Crescent! I wanna pet her too." Grey is super winny. But I can tell that hes joking around to. Crescent stops and Grey moves closer to me not a lot but a bit and he scratches underneath my chin. Its almost like its instinct for me to enjoy the feeling. Not only that but I lift my head up. "You're such a pretty girl! Who do you belong too?" Grey talks so innocently and yet firm too. Thats when he showed up.
He is much older than the rest of us. His hair is pure black and some of it falls perfectly over his pure silver eyes. I've seen him around before in fact seeing him brings back bad memories. I have always hoped that this day would never come, especially after everything I've been through because of him. He has made my life so confusing and a lot of bullshit came about just because I talked to him. So seeing him made me think back to when it all started, back to when we kissed. He knows my forms so he knows its me. I watch him just waiting to see what he does. I'm sure hes mad at me for something just by seeing the look in his eyes. But this was Dominic and he is known for being the one to hurt you, so seeing him so upset and mad at me makes me feel a bit uneasy. He steps closer and looks straight at me. There is no use in trying to hide from him when he knows its me. I make my way over to Jett and transform back to normal. I look over to Crescent and Grey both with wide eyes and jaws dropped. Really? Is now really a good time to be surprised that its me?
"Ivory can I talk to you please?" Dominic hides his face to the side and talks in a low tone trying to cover up the fact that hes mad. "Now please." His tone gets more stern and strict. He really is not happy with me at all and I don't know why. I don't know what to do so I stay still. "Fine then you don't want to just talk about it? Thats fine with me." Within a second Dominic's hands become shotguns. He looks straight at me and as soon as I make eye contact he beings to shoot. Bullets go everywhere hitting everything surrounding me with no particular aim. I look over to Crescent and Grey. Grey has already transformed into his weapon mode and Crescent stands still as if not knowing what to do. I can see him look over in my direction until the blasts start to get even closer to me. I move over to get in front of Jett to protect him getting hit every now and then by the bullets just flying in the air. After a while every hit struck my back with what seemed to be more force as if every bullet was intended to hit me head on. I start to lose consciousness. All sounds are gone and I try to look over to Crescent. Just then I black out.
Sorry for it being so long 4,230 words... I guess I lost track when I was writeing it was so so much fun to write and I have more too. Please please please R&R I would love to see what you think.
