Chapter Two:

New Friends!

Who Is Who?

~A Sound Soul Dwells Within A Sound Mind And A Sound Body~

**Death the Kid's Point of View**

New students? Father didn't mention anything about this. An odd bunch too, and all girls...I think? They all stood there for a moment before determining where they were gonna sit, all heading to the right, two of them – obviously meister and weapon, quietly sat down next to Tsubaki. The brown haired one, Maryanne, I believe her name was, gave a happy smile to greet her. Toni, her weapon, gave a quick friendly wave. Tsubaki answered them with a smile and a wave of her own. The third, skipped up and sat behind them, next to Crona, giving her a large, friendly smile. Crona shank in her seat a bit, probably couldn't deal with the beaming vibes of happiness radiating off her.

It was actually a quick and quiet class, and before I knew it, school was out. First day of school is always a half day, just so that everyone can get a taste of what the new year was going to be like. That's what father always said, at least. He did really care about the students, maybe a little too much at times.

I decided it would be best if the newcomers had a more formal greeting, in fact, it would be best if I had a party organized to celebrate the new year. I smiled as politely as I could as I approached the trio, who happened to be talking to Maka, Soul, and Crona near the entrance doors to the school.

"So how did you like the first day of school?" Maka was asking casually.

"It was really nice." Maryanne answered. "Is it weird that I've already learned so much?"

"It's a miracle you can learn to begin with." Toni cracked a joke, sticking her tongue out at the smaller girl. In which, she responded with hitting the taller...girl...in the side with her elbow. They both laughed in response.

"The school is SO big!" The redhead giggled. "I'm surprised no one gets lost."

Her demeanor reminded me too much of Patty...it was a bit scary.

"I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yourselves." I greeted, walking up next to Maka, giving the group a perfectly angled bow. "I'm Death the Kid, I'm Lord Death's son." I turned to my twin weapons, a hand gestured to them. "And these two are Liz and Patty, my weapons."

Ah, a perfect and exact greeting.

"Oooooooooh!" The redhead cooed, approaching within inches of my face. Uncomfortable. "Your hair makes my life right now."

My...hair?

"Excuse my sister," Toni apologized, grabbing the small girl by the collar and pulling her back. "She's a little..odd at times."

"Sisters?" I believe the whole group said in unison.

"But...you...look nothing alike." I was baffled.

"Well, Maka and Tsubaki look nothing alike." Toni snapped back. Making a displeased face. "So, what's your point?"

"..."

"..."

"Um...why would Maka and Tsubaki look anything alike?" Soul asked, obviously as thrown back as the rest of us."

"Aren't they sisters...?" He...she...was now the one confused.

"Liz and Patty are the only sisters I know of..." Maka commented.

"OH!" The dark haired one's face turned a bright shade of red. "I'm horrible with names..."

"She really is," Maryanne laughed. "After a month of knowing her, she still had my name wrong."

An odd bunch indeed. But even so, they seemed like a good group.

"Ahem...anyways..." I straightened myself out. "I would like to invite you all to a welcoming party this Saturday at the mansion; to celebrate the new year and the new students of the academy. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

The new trio smiled and thanked me, looking as excited as a dog with a new bone.

"Have a good evening." I smiled back, just to keep the friendly attitude. "Come now, Liz, Patty. Let's head home, we have a lot of planning to do."

And with that, I made a perfect exit. Turning at a perfect 90 degree angle and heading down the steps that lead to the academy.

Ah, yes, exact and perfect.

Author Notes

This has been the easiest chapter to write. I know, it's only the second chapter, but I've been working on the third chapter for awhile...let's not talk about that...

Anyways, still trying to smooth in the new characters as well as keep the original characters being in the light of awesomeness.

Please review! Opinions are appreciated.
