Soul Games: Chapter 2
Death the Kid's POV
And so we have it. The 24 of us were now chosen, split up into pairs (Male and Female) and send of to the Witch Realm were the games will take place (Like the Capitol). Some of us were lucky enough to be stuck with our partners already like Soul is with Maka, Blackstar with Tsubaki. Unfortunately since i have 2 partners that couldn't happen. Liz is now with Ragnarok and Patty is with Harvar. I'm surprised who they stuck me with, we have nothing in common and i seriously thought she... was a he. But i was wrong about that to i guess ill have to apologize for that later. Being with Crona as a team member might either help me or not its unsure what will happen once we reach the Witch Realm.
To get to the Witch Realm we are sent to the train that covers the entire world. Each team has their own section and its big enough for everything. When we first board we are given time to relax as it takes 2 days at least to get to the With Realm. After finding my room, and settling in its just about time to have dinner and for Crona and I to meet our mentors. With a sigh i head over there to already find Crona with Miss Marie and Stein seated waiting.
"So you finally decided to join us Kiddo?" Stein spoke up. "Take a seat and dig in."
I sat down, i guess Marie and Stein are our mentors. Thats even more confusing that they were paired up with us, didn't Crona betray these two?
"I'm so sorry for this to happen to you two, all of you guys." Miss Marie sighed eating quietly.
The food was like a feast, i may be Lord Deaths son but even i've never seen this much food. Looking over at Crona i see her quite, looking down at the food. I know she doesn't eat but maybe she should try for the games.
"Crona? You hungry?" I said, but startled her.
"I-i-im fine..." She said not even looking at anything.
"At least eat something, i don't want my partner to die of starvation before she reaches the arena..." She slowly looked up at me and nodded weakly taking some bites of her food, then got up, excused herself and left.
"Kid. Crona's used to hunger, she can go a full month without a bite or drink to eat because of the treatment from Medusa. It will take her some time still to eat a full meal herself."
Marie said smiling. I just nodded and finished of dinner until i was about to pop, the food was great but to much can make one sick. After dinner, i walked around exploring the carriage. Unfortunately we were not supposed to visit the other Teams carriages, which hurts cause im starting to miss the gang already.
It was long until i found Crona's room, i wanted to talk to her for a second so i knocked on the door but, no answer. I'm not one for invading privacy, but i opened her door quietly just to find a sleeping Crona on her bed.
I never thought Crona, out of all people could look as peaceful as she looked. Seeing her every day timid and nervous all the time makes this hard to believe. Hugging one pillow loosely and her head on the other and a soft, light smile on her face. I don't know why but my chest started to feel funny and hot so decided to leave. Maybe cause i was scared of getting caught staring at her, i don't know.
The two days of travel went fast and still no interaction with Crona. Whenever we saw each other it was just a slight nod of hello. I talked to Stein about survival tactics and stuff, i already know how to take care or myself but a bit of help would be nice.
Upon arrival we met with our Witch stylist. Its strange how witches will be styling us for interview, also why must we be styled and interviewed! As long as i look symmetrical ill be fine with this.
Crona's POV
"What styled! Whats that? Is it a term for hurting us? I don't think i can deal with this!" I shouted in my head. A strange man and woman approached Kid and I circling us up and down. I'm scared of what they will do.
"I'll take this shaking one, i have a wonderful idea." Smiles the man. "You may have the boy." The man held out his hand and smiled genitally. "My name is Nic, your name?"
"C-Crona, sir..." I timidly shook his hand.
"Wonderful, i have the most fantastic idea for your image... improvement!" Improvement? I don't know if i should be offended or happy by that. "You will be a flower ready to bloom, lets go." He took my hand and the next thing i know i have more then 3 people working on anything they could do to me. It was very strange. I remember walking with Maka at the local mall, showing me a place called a Beauty Salon i think. This reminds me of that place.
Death the Kid's POV
After about and hour or two of endless prepping for these interviews, im finally finished. My hair is now nice, symmetrical and neat just the way i like it. But my clothes, were amazing. Symmetrical as they were with this i could ignore it. The long sleeve blazer was black but had the Shinigami Skull my father wore on the bottom of each arm, the buttons were the skulls as well. My pants though were just black and with three white stripes at the bottom... just like my hair should be...
"Do you like your clothing Kid?" My stylist Nat asked. I was wrong the stylist were just humans like anybody else, they were very demanding but kind.
"Indeed i do. Very symmetric and fitted perfectly." I smiled at her. She slightly smiled at me happy to hear i liked her work.
"I wonder how Nic went with that young girl. Knowing him he will go nuts with everything, shes a empty canvas waiting to be painted on." She smiled. I wonder if she really will look just as amazing? I have never seen Crona look, nice i guess. If she was ever looking formal like it was at one of my parties but then there i thought she was a guy.
After waiting for over half and hour Nat and I heard Nic talking to Crona, complementing her.
"Crona please smile, you look amazing, just wait till they all see you."
"I-i don't t-think i could h-handle t-that..."
I looked over and saw Nic with Crona hiding behind him.
"Go on they wont bite silly." Nic said. It was only Stein, Marie, Nat and myself in the room but i know Crona has a huge thing with being shy.
"O-o-okay..." She mumbled and slowly stood out from hiding behind Nic. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Crona was standing there in a short but over the knee dress that had a tight fitting top then flowed out just under her ribcage. The dress was black with a light purple underlay almost like her hair colour. She was tall but over time, i outgrew her but, her long legs were just bare but she had black ribbon lace up heels, with the ribbons wrapping around her legs just coming half way up the calf. But what most caught my attention was her hair. With the makeup Crona looked amazing but her longish purple lilac hair finished her look. It was cut brushed and slightly wavy now, It just came to her shoulders. Her fringe was cut to be straight no unevenness about it. She looked like a boyish teenager before this, now she looks like a amazing girl. Crona looked over to me noticing me watching her and her face went red, then hid behind Nic again. I could feel my face getting hot as well but unsure why though.
"Okay you kids, you two have your interviews coming up. Kid you will be before Crona. You only have 8 minutes with the host. Remember this is for making a impression you want the sponsors okay so get people to like you." Stein said.
Crona and I nodded and walked over to sit backstage with the others. We were still unable to talk to the other teams until we go to the training sessions. But everyone looked amazing but still everyone shot quick looks at Crona. Maka was smiling at Crona waving, Crona did wave back but gave a embarrassed smile back.
One by one we were called up onto stage for our 8 minute interview. Eventually it came to me and i had to leave Crona alone by herself until it was her turn. Walking up on stage i got many cheers and surprisingly, maybe it was because im Lord Death's son.
"Hello and welcome our 23rd tribute Death the Kid! Its a pleasure to meet you." Smiled the interviewer.
"Likewise" I said and smiled back.
"So, id like to know how does it feel being here?"
"I guess it feels nerve racking, but i guess im excited to be here. I've never seen this many people before in the once place." I laughed.
"I guess so." The reporter laughed as well. "So how did it feel not only seeing your name, but your closest friends?"
"Well... scary. Know that we may have to be the ones to kill one another... its not a great feeling."
"Your team member, the traitor to DWMA. I'm curious, what about her?"
"Uhhh.." I had no idea what i thought of my feeling of Crona being here it was so muddled and confusing, so i just said anything. "I-i didn't feel anything of it." That was blunt, maybe to blunt.
"Hmm so i guess your team with be a hard one to maintain, good luck." She laughed with the audience. The rest of the interview went until the bell signaled us to finish. We said our goodbyes and i left the stage.
It was Crona's turn now, i looked over to see her trying her hardest not to shake and put on a smile and sit down.
"So Crona, don't you look fabulous, when i saw your photo before you came here i was certain you weren't the same person." The Interview said looking amazed at Crona's now look.
"U-uhh w-why thank you. My wonderful stylist Nic did a-all this." She smiled looking out to the crowd.
"Well he did a fabulous job, aye folks?" The cheers from the crowd were load and happy. "Tell me, Crona, is there anybody you like, i mean come on who wouldn't fall for this beautiful lady next to me, guys are gonna fall for you."
"I uhhh..." She looked down like she was saying something but mumbled to quietly.
"Hmm i didn't catch that... come on you can spill, confess and win this and that guy will be yours in no time!"
"B-But t-that will be h-hard..." She whispered.
"Hmm how come?"
"H-hes h-here w-with me, i-in my t-team..."
