CHAPTER ONE
Who The Hell Are You?
Caoimhe sat up and rubbed her head. 'Owwww. That hurt! Asymmetrical bastard.' She looked down to see that she was currently sitting on Mairead who (for reasons unknown) appeared to be asleep. The sound of approaching footsteps shook her from her cursing of the hobo and she looked around to see two figures rapidly heading towards them. She decided to lie down and pretend to be sleeping until she knew if they were a threat or not. She heard an out of breath voice calling, it sounded vaguely familiar but she couldn't think where she had heard it before. The voice was closer now and she could make out words. It said, 'There's no use pretending to be asleep so you may as well sit up.' Caoimhe sat up, looked at the strangers then pinched herself, hard. One of the strangers looked at her strangely, 'What are you doing?' He asked. Caoimhe's mouth dropped open as she looked up at the person who had appeared in front of her. She pinched herself again, harder. 'I'm dreaming….I'm dreaming…I'm dreaming…' She muttered under her breath to herself. The other person stepped forward. 'I can assure you that you aren't dreaming, whoever you may be' an icy voice answered her. She narrowed her eyes and pricked her ears forward. 'Now don't take that…wait.' Pricked her ears forward? She raised her hands to her head and screamed before fainting in a heap. Spirit looked at Stein, 'Freakin' Neko kids, they're all weird.' Caoimhe sat up. 'I HEARD THAT!' Stein looked around, 'I thought you fainted.' Caoimhe glared at him, 'Hey you ever tried fainting on your big sister? It's not comfortable!' She grinned and stood up, only to fall forward and promptly attach herself to Spirit's leg. 'YESSAI! I'm in Soul Eater! I guess that hobo had something going for him after all!' She laughed. Spirit clasped his hands together and grinned inanely, 'Yay! I have fans!' He was interrupted by a groan from Mairead, still lying face down on the floor. She muttered something unintelligible and rolled over to face her sister. Her eyes widened and she blinked slowly. 'Good Morning.' She said yawning. 'Caoimhe, get the hell off that guy's leg.'
'But it's Spirit!'
'Like hell, that's only in Soul Eater.'
'But it is! Look Stein's here too!'
'Of course they ar…Oh.'
Stein looked over, 'That's basically what she said too.' Gesturing toward Caoimhe.
'Well, whoever you are, you look so much like this guy Stein.'
'I am Stein.'
'Like hell.'
'I really am though.'
'Right well, I'm going back to sleep, so later.'
'Alright…then…?' Stein replied confused. Mairead then went back to her previous state of being dead to the world. Spirit and Stein stared blankly for a moment before she suddenly jumped into the air screaming 'WHY IS MY SISTER A CAT!'
'Technically, it's neko…' Started Spirit
'TECHNICALLY, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! SOMEONE HAD BETTER START EXPLAINING!' Mairead yelled.
'Actually, it's you who should be explaining.' Stated the still-calm Stein. Mairead muttered something about mad hobos and scientists who should keep their nose out of unexplained magical transformations that just happen for no apparent reason. Stein blinked. 'I want to dissect you now.' He said turning to Caoimhe and pulling out his trusty scalpel.
'NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!' Mairead rose up in a blaze of tired fury brandishing her own scalpel which had appeared from no where in particular. She looked at it funny, 'Where the hell did that come from?'
Stein blinked again. 'I have no idea.'
Spirit groaned, 'Not another one…' He was interrupted by a growl from Caoimhe. 'Stein's face is completely asymmetrical!' Spirit grinned. 'You remind me of someone.' Caoimhe smiled, 'I think I know who.' Mairead and Stein faced each other, scalpels at the ready. They circled slowly, searching for an opening. Caoimhe walked into the middle and sighed. 'Pack it in you two. You're making me dizzy.' Stein ignored her. Mairead stopped immediately. Caoimhe sighed again, 'I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this but…' Mairead started backing away. 'PINEAPPLE SMASH!' Caoimhe swung her arm and Stein collapsed. The large pineapple that had hit him bounced off. Spirit looked on in shock. Caoimhe grinned, 'There we are, all done! Can we go to Shibusen now?' Spirit nodded mutely and turned to lead the way.
Death Room, Death Weapon Meister Academy
Caoimhe immediately glued herself to Lord Death's robes. His mask had a slightly shocked look to it, having been glomped by a random neko girl. She snuggled into him further. Lord Death patted her awkwardly on the back with one massive hand as her tail wrapped itself around his waist. Spirit stood in a corner sniggering, while Stein stayed far away from Caoimhe over by the guillotines. Mairead, unsurprisingly, was asleep. Caoimhe dislodged herself from Lord Death as a voice called down the corridor. 'Father, I came as quickly as I-' He was stopped by a squeal as he was glomped by Caoimhe. He stepped backwards, falling onto the polished floor. 'What the…Father! Who is this?' Lord Death shrugged, 'We don't know, Stein and Spirit found them. However, the neko seems to have taken a liking to you. Have fun!' He waved cheerily and bounced to the back of the room. Caoimhe glared after him and yelled 'OI! NEKO GIRL HAS A NAME YOU BIG CLOUD OF SPIKY…SPIKY…LIQUOURICE!' Death the Kid (as he was now revealed to be) looked down at her while Stein's eye twitched and he backed further away. Spirit burst out laughing only to be silenced by a Reaper Chop from Lord Death as he passed by. Mairead was still asleep. Kid struggled to get up from the floor with Caoimhe still latched firmly to his middle. She smiled, 'I can Reaper Chop too you know. Wanna see?' She leapt into the air, and flew down upon Spirit screaming 'REAPER CHOP!' Spirit crashed to the floor for the second time, a smoking dent in his head.
