Brief Commentary:
Well, it's certainly been a fucking few million years. 8'D I really ought to be updating my other Soul Eater stuff (coughcoughTEHcough), but this has been floating around in my head for a long time. Sid and Nygus, slight shipping, yes, and this is pre-manga, for the most part. So before anything with Asura or Arachne or even before Maka and Soul screwed up on that 100th soul. Tehe. By the way, I'm very rusty, so any comments or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Dead!
Chapter One
"Sid-kun, Nygus-san, how good of you to come here today!"
The unnaturally cheerful voice of Shinigami-sama rang out in the small room, rebounding off the walls and echoing loudly in the ears of meister and Shibusen teacher Sid Barett and his partner Mira Nygus. Sid nodded his affirmation, Nygus simply inclining her head before inquiring,
"What was this mission you requested we fulfill?"
"Ah, that. Well, you see, the last of those terrible fire daemons finally emerged after a year of nothing, and he's been doing nothing but wreaking havoc in the rural areas of China. Most of the people who helped us out against them have moved to distant locations and absolutely refuse to speak to me," here the Death God paused to mutter something that sounded obscene, "so out of convenience I'm asking you two to go and get rid of it. Shouldn't be too much of a problem, it's pretty old."
Sid and Nygus agreed easily, recalling with some grimness how much of a problem the fire daemons had been several years before hand. They had only just graduated from Shibusen when the daemons had begun a long campaign of destruction world wide, and there were only seven ways to kill them. Nygus, at this thought, voiced her concern,
"Shinigami-sama, perhaps you ought to send Death Scythe-san instead of me, I'm still not a-"
"No, no, Nygus-san, you ought to go. I can't even remember the last time you and Sid-kun went out together."
Nygus found herself hoping Shinigami-sama was not winking at her from beneath his mask. Scratching absently at her cheek, she avoided looking at the Death God as she nodded her head, mumbling her agreement. Mira felt Sid's gaze rest on her for a split second before he asked,
"When are we due to leave?"
"Oh? Right now, of course," Shinigami-sama said slowly, before clapping his enormous hands and exclaiming loudly, "DIIISMISSED!"
The pair twitched at the volume level before bowing their heads and quickly leaving the vicinity, somewhat irritated by the short notice. "It comes with the job," Sid had remarked once before, but somehow that seemed to make enduring it worse.
Next installment? Soon. (:
