Chapter 2
POV: Damokles
I parked my bike in front of my apartment and walked into my apartment. It took me two days to get back because I stopped half way to get some rest before continuing. Sadly I didn't run into any other kishin eggs on the way here for Fenrir, so now I have to get some more missions from DWMA. I let out a sigh while turning on the lights and hanging up my coat. My apartment is simple, the kitchen and living room are joined and their is a hallway that branches off into two bedrooms and a single bathroom at the end of the hall. The living room as a couch, a coffee table, and a TV in it while the kitchen has a counter, a table with two chairs, a fridge, and a dishwasher.
I opened my fridge to show it was filled with Mountain Dew. Don't judge me, that shit is good. Anyway, I grabbed a Mountain Dew and walked into my room. my room has red and black wallpaper, my bed in the corner, a desk and laptop in the other corner, and a window. I sat down at my desk, pulled out a sketchbook and started drawing. I draw and doodle to keep myself calm or when I just want to pass the time.
I drew for a couple of hours before I checked the time 7:30 pm. I put my sketchbook away and got up. 'I wonder what I should do? Might as well just wander around the city before the sun comes up' I thought while walking out of my room. I grabbed my coat before walking out of my apartment. I debated on whether I should use my bike or not but I ended up leaving it and just walking around or in my case using the roof tops. What, it's quicker than taking all of those winding roads and people won't mess with me.
I had walked around for couple of minutes before I saw a young woman standing in the middle of the street next to a boy with white spiked hair that is swept to one side, red eyes, and looks to be around 15 years old. He is wearing a yellow and black jacket with buttons going down the front, a pair of maroon pants, and yellow and black sneakers with a pattern on the soles resembling his teeth. Around his head is a prominent sweatband that has a sticker with his name on it and a circular logo featuring a red-lipped mouth bearing pointed fangs surrounded with the letters 'E-A-T.'
The woman is a tall with large… assets… and an alluring figure, she has short violet hair with long strands on each side of her face that curl up and around, bright yellow cat like eyes, and she is also wearing a witch's outfit. The girl's witch outfit is a black-blue dress that shows off her shoulders and wraps around her neck, long, open sleeves that reveal her hands and shoulders, a short skirt with a white frill, long high-heeled boots that curl upwards at the toes, and a black witch's hat that coils around at the end. This is Blair, an… acquaintance, I guess, of mine.
They were standing across from a girl who looked to be around 14 and she had ash blonde hair kept in two pigtails. She is wearing a typical schoolgirl outfit consisting of a white blouse with a yellow sweater vest, a green striped tie, a red plaid skirt, black boots with white buckles, white gloves, and a trench coat with a cloak-like end. She was looking down at the ground so I couldn't see her face.
"How should I know?" Asked the guy. I was curious about what was happening so I sat down with my legs dangling off the edge of the building to watch.
"Cool men don't go cheating around, after all." As the guy said this is right arm glowed before turning into a large black with red cutting edge scythe blade that curved around Blair.
"Maka!" The guy shouted while holding out his other hand to the now identified Maka who looked to reveal a pair of olive-green eyes with small tears at the edges. She looked at him before running to him and grabbing his hand. The guy glowed before the rest of him turned into the shaft of a scythe, which Maka grabbed onto. 'I wonder if they know that Blair isn't a witch.' I thought. Maka dug her foot into the ground and swung the scythe, cutting Blair in half at the waist. Blair looked surprised before her body turned black and compacted down until all that was left was a floating purple soul.
"We did it, Maka." Said the guy when he transformed back into his human form and grabbed Blair's soul.
"Mm-hmm." Replied Maka."Thanks, Soul." 'So that's what his name is.' I thought.
"The issue isn't about one's form." Said Soul as he gazed at Blair's soul, "The issue is about one's soul, right?" He asked while looking over at Maka.
"Once you eat that…" Started Maka.
"Yeah, I can become a Death Scythe." Finished Soul. Then he swallowed Blair's soul whole, before he suddenly froze. The wind started to pick up and swirl around Soul, as well as some lightning that was striking the area around him.
"My power! my power is rising…" Soul shouted as several pure black scythe blades started popping of him.
"… not." Soul said as the wind, lightning, and scythe blades suddenly vanished.
"Eh?" Replied Maka as she looked at Soul, not believing what happened. Soul just stood there before burping up a small cloud of smoke. They just stood there, frozen in shock, as a small black cat walked in front of them wearing Blair's hat and pendent around it's neck, before it meowed at them. They both looked at the cat in surprise.
"Y-You wouldn't be…" Maka stuttered while asking the cat. 'Looks like Maka figured it out.'
"I never said I was a witch, meow." Replied that cat which sounded like Blair. Maka and Soul just stared at the cat, with bewildered expressions, as the cat was suddenly surrounded by pink smoke. When the smoke vanished in the cat's place was Blair on her hands and knees, without her hat revealing a pair of cat ears matching her hair.
"I'm just a cat, with strong magical powers." Said Blair as she moved her hand in a way that mimicked a cat. Soul and Maka still just stared at her with those same bewildered expressions.
" 'The issue isn't about one's form,' right?" Asked Blair, repeating what Soul had said earlier.
"Does that mean I…" Soul finally getting over his state of bewilderment, "devoured 99 Kishin eggs, and one cat's soul?" Maka, who was still standing there, suddenly jolted up.
"Now that you mention it…" She started before stopping as if remembering something.
"Which means…" She stopped before shouting, "We messed up?!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Shouted Soul as he revved his motorcycle, which suddenly appeared, don't ask how. He drove off with Maka on the back holding on to him.
"I'm a failure as a meister! I have to start over from the beginning." Shouted Maka as they turned the corner, driving out of my hearing range.
Blair was about to ran after them on a large pumpkin she had summed using her magic, but was stopped when I jumped down behind her.
"Been awhile, hasn't it?" I asked.
"Wolfy?" She asked without turning around.
"I thought I told you not to use that annoy-." I didn't get to finish because Blair had turned around and glomped me, knocking me over with Blair landing on top of me.
"Wolfy, your back!" She shouted as she rubbed her face against my cheek repeatedly.
"Yep." I said while adding emphasis on the 'p', "So… can you get off of?" I asked her. Blair stopped rubbing her head against my cheek and took on a thinking pose with her hand on her chin, while still straddling me.
"Nope." She said before laying down on me and continuing to rub her head against my cheek. I had to resist the urge to knock her out. 'This is gonna be a long night.' I thought while sighing.
