Hello all!

Riika's back with another story! What could it be this time? Kid and Soul of course!

"Riika, you're writing more yaoi?" Yes, I can't help it! They're just so cute!

Warnings: Violence with a dash of yaoi

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater. If I did, there would have been more episodes and the ending wouldn't be so rushed.

"Soul, Kid."

Both weapon and meister looked up from their conversations. "What?" they asked in unison.

The silver-haired man leaned against his chair. "You're wanted in the Death Room immediately," he replied calmly, adjusting his glasses slightly.

The two exchanged a quick glance and a shrug. "Guess I'll see you at home," the albino said as he followed Kid out of the classroom. He didn't hear Maka's reply.

It didn't take them long to reach the Death Room. It wasn't like it was unusual for the two of them to get called to see Lord Death. In fact, they saw him often. Usually, though, it was because they'd been fighting again or because Black Star had pinned them for something they didn't do. That didn't seem to be the case today, though.

"Hey, hey, hey! How's it going?" Lord Death said in his usual way-too-cheery-to-be-the-lord-of-death way.

The pair waited expectantly for whatever was about to happen. "Well? What did you want?" Soul asked after an impatient minute.

"You're no fun," Death said, but he cleared his throat regardless. "I called you two down here because I have a job for you," he said, suddenly business-like.

"With him?" Kid asked skeptically, casting a glance over at the white-haired weapon. It's not that he didn't like Soul, quite the opposite actually, it was just that if he was partnering up with Soul he'd be unsymmetrical. That was not going to work for him.

"It's just for this one mission so do try to get along, okay?"

Soul flashed a toothy grin at his fellow student. "What, am I too unsymmetrical for you to work with?" he asked sarcastically.

Kid felt his cheeks grow warm but glared at him before turning his attention back to his father. "I suppose, if it's just for this one mission, I can deal with it. Where are we headed?"

"Verona, Italy. There's a witch running loose and I need you two to take care of her before she gets too out of control."

"You can count on us father," Kid said before turning abruptly and walking out of the room, leaving Soul to try to catch up.

"Good luck!" Lord Death called after them.

The pair walked of temporary partners walked side by side down the hall. Class would still be in session, but since they had a job to do they didn't bother going back. Kid halted just outside the main doors.

"Let's meet at the park around dusk. Is that enough time for you to prepare?"

Soul chuckled. "Like I'm the one who's gonna need time to prepare. Yeah, that's fine. See you later."

They parted ways, each heading to their home to await their partners return and to prepare for the mission ahead.

Chapter 1 complete. Nothing has happened, I know. I'm terrible. Planning this one to go faster than my other multi-chapter so I should have the next part up in a day or two for both.

Until then, Riika's got rats to track down. Ha, rats! Get it? No, probably not. *sigh* Yeah...
