Alright! First one-shot!

For: Ynot7

Prompt: Write about post-anime Mifune adjusting the life at the DWMA.

Main characters: Mifune, Angela.

Note: While Mifune is dead in the manga (spoiler, sorry!), he lives in the anime and presumably goes to the DWMA, as Tsubaki suggested.

"Mifune! Pssst!" an excited voice hissed in the slumbering samurai's ear. He reacted instantly, jumping up and pulling out his sword, ready to strike. He looked around for his opponent, only to see little Angela standing next to his bed. She smiled widely at him, her cute, round face barely higher than the mattress. "Come on, Mifune! We're going to the school today, remember?"

Oh, right. "Of course I remember," he said, climbing off the bed and patting her on the head. Angela had been going to the school for the past couple of weeks to get acquainted with her new home while Mifune had numerous meetings with Death the Kid to secure him a position at the DWMA. He was now the new martial arts instructor, to teach alongside Sid, and was starting today.

"We need to go soon, right?"

Mifune glanced at the ticking clock that sat on his bedside. The alarm was set to go off at any minute, so they had about twenty minutes before they needed to leave for the school. "Yes, Angela. Let's go eat breakfast."

The little witch girl squealed in excitement and raced out of the room. "I'm going to make us food!" she shouted over her shoulder. Mifune felt a small surge of panic and hurried to get dressed before the Angela could destroy something. A white t-shirt, jeans, and sandals flew on and he hurried to the kitchen.

Angela was jumping from stool to stool, gathering all the supplies she deemed to be necessary for the breakfast she was creating. This consisted of two bowls, spoons, a box of cereal, and milk. She was currently balancing the jug on her head as she stood on one foot, making kung fu noises. She smiled and giggled when she saw Mifune come in the room.

"Look! I'm a samurai, just like you!" she exclaimed, jumping to the next stool and letting the jug slide off her head and onto the table with a thud.

"That's very nice, Angela," Mifune said, pulling a bowl towards him and grabbing the box of the table.

"No! Let me do it!" she protested, snatching the box and bowl back. Mifune watched with amusement as she carefully poured in the sugary corn flakes and added just the right amount of milk before giving it back to him. He took a big spoonful and chewed it thoughtfully, well aware of her watchful gaze.

"This is delicious," he said with a smile. "You should make breakfast every day." Angela squealed with excitement again as she dug into her own bowl, nodding in agreement with his assessment. She had barely finished when she jumped down from the stool.

"Let's hurry up!"

...

Mifune spent the next ten minutes wrestling Angela into a fresh pair of clothes. After that, they were off to the school, Angela dancing around him in excitement.

"This is going to be so fun! You're finally going to meet all my friends!" She was beaming with happiness. Mifune was glad that she was so carefree now. It was important for a child to have a safe place to grow, and he honestly hoped that the DWMA and Death City would be that place for her.

"Can you carry me?" Angela asked as they reached the stairs. Mifune pretended to think on it, chewing on the long twig in his mouth.

"I don't know, Angela. You're getting awfully big."

"Mifune!" She looked enraged, the tongue on her witch hat jumping in and out. He just smiled and scooped her up, placing her on his shoulder. She wiggled with delight, nearly making him drop her.

They made it up the steps and into the school without being stopped by anyone. It was only when they were making their way through the hallway that someone recognized him.

"Hello, Mifune." It was Tsubaki. She nodded a greeting to him. "It's good to see you at the school."

"It's my first day teaching today," he replied, glancing at the clock. He had half an hour before classes started. "I'll be teaching combat alongside Sid."

"That's great news!" Tsubaki said, clapping her hands together with happiness. She gave him a warm smile before glancing around as if something was wrong. "You should hurry to that before Black Star spots you. He's bound to try and challenge you to a fight. I'm sure you don't want that before your first class even starts." Mifune nodded and continued on his way, Angela turned on his shoulder to wave goodbye her.

He arrived the classroom, which was empty except for Sid, Nygus, and two other students holding weapons. They turned as Mifune entered. Upon seeing them, Angela immediately began to squeal, jumping down from his shoulder.

"Come on, Mifune! Come meet my friends!" She grabbed hold of his hand, not taking no for an answer, and dragged him over to the group with surprising strength. She stopped in front of the group and looked at them all expectantly.

"I'm Sid, your co-instructor," the blue man greeted, holding out his hand. Mifune shook it, not surprised to find it cold and hard, like concrete. Sid turned and waved to the students. "This is Nygus, the school nurse and my weapon partner." Nygus also held out her hand to shake, smiling widely. It was strange to meet the two of them somewhere that wasn't a snowy battlefield.

"And those are my friends!" Angela said, pointing at the two students. "And their weapons, too!" Mifune nodded to them. The first student, a pink-haired girl, gave him a small wave.

"I'm Kim, and this is Jackie." She gestured to the lantern that was slung over her shoulder. The weapon voiced a greeting as well. "I'm the tanuki witch that's been helping Angela out with her magic. This guy here is Kilik." The boy raised a fist in greeting, his hands covered in what looked like stone boxing gloves.

"Angela's friends with these two," he said, taking off the gloves and dropping them. They transformed into two children who proceeded to run up to Angela and dance around her. The little boy seemed especially friendly with her, and Mifune gave him a stare down. This would be an interesting problem in the future.

"It's nice to meet all of you," Mifune said earnestly. It truly was, honestly. He knew that Angela would be well taken care of, even if something bad was to happen to him.

"It's almost time for classes to start," Nygus said, beckoning to the students with a clear message: get going. Kim and Jackie hurried out in a flash. It took Kilik a few seconds longer to get his two weapons to say bye to Angela, only managing to pull them away by promising to let them play later. Angela waved to them before she returned to stand next to Mifune, smiling up at him brightly. Mifune smiled back. "Good luck with your first task of the day, Mifune!" Nygus called over her shoulder with a laugh as she left, likely heading to the infirmiry.

"What's that?" Mifune asked. Sid just smiled.

"It's something so difficult, so hard, that most people chose not to do it," Sid said. Mifune's brows furrowed together and Sid let out a laugh. "Dealing with teenagers."

Dun dun duuuunnnn! Dealing with teenagers!? How horrible!

That story ended up being around 1,200 words long. Not bad for the first one.
