" A sound soul resides within a sound mind and a sound body... "
"Why again does Shinigami-sama want you to fight with those kids?" I asked as I ate the last dango dumpling that was on the stick of three. I bit on the empty stick as Stein looked at me and sighed.
"You know, I should be used to seeing this by now... but surprisingly I'm not..." he said as he observed the sight before him; A seventeen year-old girl sitting on the shoulders of an eighteen year old boy.
"Oi, Takkun. Can I have another one?" I said, waving the bamboo skewer in his face. Takkun sighed and opened the box of dango, taking out another stick and handing it to me.
"Arigato!" I said smiling from ear to ear.
"Yeah, I was wondering about that too, Professor Stein." Takkun added.
"Shinigami-sama says that these children need to be tested or something like that after their supplementary classes with Sid." Stein answered.
"That's stupid..." I said, eating the second white dango dumpling off of the stick. After shallowing it, I picked up the glass of iced green tea that rested on Takkun's head and gulped it down.
"I'M NOT A TABLE, YOU KNOW!!!!" Takkun yelled.
"Are?(japanese=What?)" I answered, oblivious to Takkun's yelling and the sweatdrops that were now both on the back of Takkun and Stein's heads. The three of us stopped talking and looked in the same direction as we felt the wavelengths of four souls.
"I guess that's them." Stein said as he played around with the large screw in his head. He kicked his desk and wheeled out of the room in his chair. Lucky for him, there were no cracks or door borders on the floor that the chair could get stuck on.
"Ne(Hey), Takkun." I said.
"What is it, Anko?" Takkun asked.
"Stein never said that we couldn't help out, right?" I said with a grin.
"I wouldn't do that, you know him. It was implied." Takkun answered.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." I said, jumping off of him. I walked towards the window, placing the empty tea cup on the table as I passed it.
"Are you going to watch?" I asked, facing Takkun.
"Yeah, why not. Nothing better to do here." he answered. Both of us sat down on the windowsill and watched what was happening below. Outside, there were four people, just like you had expected. Two girls and two boys. One girl had dirty blonde hair tied up in pigtails and had a "school-girl" look expect for her long black trench coat. She looked about my age. The other girl had long black hair in one wrapped up pony tail. This one looked to be in her early twenties. The boy next to the blonde had pointy teeth, white hair, red eyes and a cocky look on his face, but not as cocky as the boy next to him. This boy had spiky sky blue hair and a grin on his face as he waited for Stein to come out. The doors opened and they all stared at them in anticipation.
"I really hope that he doesn't use his chair when he gets out of the door. That's the only one that has a border on the bottom in this entire place." I said.
"You know he will, he barely gets off of that thing." Takkun said.
"Sometimes I wonder how he manages to stay so skinny..."
"Yeah, tell me about it. All he does is sit on his ass while on the computer or dissecting things."
"Well, here comes the moment of truth." I said as I stared back down at the scene below. A sweat drop appeared behind your head as you saw that Stein had forgotten about the door border and his chair got caught on it, causing him to fall.
"Damn....It's still out of shape." Stein said getting up and sitting back down in his chair as he played around with the large screw again.
"Umm... Somewhat like this. Okay! Let me do this again." Stein said dragging the chair back into the lab.
"H-he asked for a second entrance...?" Takkun asked with a sweatdrop on his head.
"Y-Yeah... he did..." I answered with the same look on my face as him.
Sometimes I wondered about Stein. He was a complete idiot, yet he was the smartest person that I had ever known and the strongest meister to ever graduate from Shibusen. Even though he was a total mess, I was always grateful because he saved my life. When I was seven my father, a death scythe died protecting my mother from witches, even though she was a witch herself. She had been branded a traitor because she sided with Shibusen instead of the rest of the witches. My mother didn't see a point in why "our nature" was so chaotic and fought against them, idolizing the morals of Shibusen. My mother was also killed in this battle. At the time, I didn't know this. I just thought that they were going out somewhere. I started panicking when the protection spell on the castle we lived in faded away. That spell had been the only thing keeping the witches from entering the castle, and the technicians from seeing it. For days, I ran around crying and looking for my parents. I had no idea what to do and my magic was weak. I didn't even know how to disengage my soul protect. I ran into the evil soul of a human that was on the verge to becoming a kishin. It tried to eat my soul, but before it could do so, I was saved by Stein. Most people would've been frightened by his image, but I wasn't. I was in complete awe of the man standing before me, covered in blood. I ran up to him and hugged him. When I did so, he was a little shocked and hesitant at first, but then he hugged me back. He took me into his home/laboratory and asked me about my life. From the minute he layed eyes on me, he knew that I was a witch since he couldn't see my soul through the soul protect. After I told him everything, he asked me if I would've liked to stay with him. I agreed, already attached to him for saving my life. From then on, I stayed with him and he raised me. Two years later, he introduced me to Takkun. We immediately grew attached to eachother, just as Stein had planned. Our souls were equally matched for eachother. I was always childish, spontaneous and optomistic, while Takkun was mature, nonchalant and a little pessimistic. He became my weapon and I his technician. Stein taught me the skills of a technician as well as a witch and a scientist. I have no idea how he taught me my skills as a witch, but somehow he did. His teaching proved to be successful as always when I had to retrieve the soul of a witch after retrieving 99 evil souls of humans. Yes, a year ago, I had turned Takkun into a death scythe. He was the same age as the youngest death scythe at the time. Even though I was raised by Stein, I never attended Shibusen. He said that he thought that it would be easier if he just taught me at home, but I always believed that it was because none of the students at Shibusen would ever befriend a witch, no matter who's side they were on. I wouldn't blame them for it. The war between Shibusen and the witches had been going on way before any of them were born, and all meisters that attended the school were taught that right away.
"Hey... someone stop him." said the boy with white hair.
"But, this is our first time meeting him." said the blonde.
"I'm actually kinda interested." said the blue-haired boy.
"Me too." added the black-haired girl next to him.
The four of them glared at the doorway once they heard the sound of the rushing wheels. Once again, the same result came.
"Why did he think that this time would be any different...?" I asked.
"I don't know... the way he thinks never makes any sense to me." Takkun answered.
"Well, do you need something?" Stein asked, staring at them, still on his back lying on the floor.
"So you're ?" said the white haired-boy.
"It must be you who used Sid to ambush the Shibusen students." added the blonde.
You and Takkun bursted out laughing when you heard this.
"Him, using Sid? What the hell?!?" I said in between laughing.
"Yeah, where did they hear that from?" Takkun asked.
The four of them looked up at the window while we were laughing. I put my hand over Takkun's mouth and he did the same to me. Then we slowly slid off the windowsill.
"What was that?" the blonde asked.
"N-Nothing... You guys are students from Shibusen, huh?" Stein said, getting up and sitting back down in his chair.
"Shimata!(sh-t)Stein is going to kill us for that!" I thought to myself. I knew that Takkun was thinking the same thing from the look on his face. Both of us slowly creeped back up on the windowsill.
"Do you have some sort of grudge against us?" asked the blonde.
"Not really. The motive is extremely simple. Experiment and observe. That's all. " Stein said. As the words "experiment and observe. That's all" escaped from his mouth, Takkun and I both said them aloud. I yawned and stretched my arms. Then I layed my head down on Takkun's shoulder, closing my eyes.
"This is boring, wake me up when Stein starts beating them up." I said.
"Will do." answered Takkun.
"Oi, Anko!...Anko!"
I groaned and rolled over to my other side after hearing a voice calling me.
"Why are you always sleeping on the windowsill when you have a perfectly comfortable bed?"
I groaned once again and covered my head with whatever was acting as a blanket on me. Suddenly I was pushed off of the windowsill. I screamed a little as I fell and hit the floor.
"Owwieee....TAKKUN WHAT TH-" I stopped talking as I heard something that sounded like Stein adjusting the screw in his head. I looked up and saw that my thoughts were right.
"W-What the hell? Aren't you supposed to be fighting?" I asked.
"I stopped trying to wake you up after hitting you in the head with a frying pan didn't work..." Takkun said with a sweatdrop on his forehead.
"Awwh! I wanted to see! Did you scare the hell out of them at least?" I asked.
"How could I resist not to?" Stein said with a smile. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Well, anyways. I'll going to start teaching at Shibusen tomorrow. I'd like you two to come with me." Stein said, pushing his glasses up.
"Whatever." Takkun answered.
"You actually want me around in Shibusen?" I asked.
"What would the problem be if you were there?" Stein asked.
"Eh.... nothing... I'll go." I said.
"Alright then, get some rest. We're going to have to get up early. I'm teaching Home Room." Stein said.
"Awwh! Why do you have to get the early periods!" I asked. Stein returned my question with on of his creepy "I want to dissect you" looks.
"What was that?" He asked in a dark voice.
I waved my hands frantically in the air and then teleported next to Takkun.
"I-I mean, o-okay I'll go get ready for bed to be up nice and early!" I said with a scared smile on my face. Stein smiled and his "scary face" went away.
"Oyasuminasai!(Goodnight!)" He said. Takkun and I turned around with sweat drops on our heads, walking away as he waved to us.
"Scary..." we both said at the same time.
