I'm baaack! Most people say "I will update as soon as I get so and so reviews." BUUT, I don't like it. I mean, I find it annoying in MY opinion and it's not fair if I do that, too. Besides, I'm too excited to wait. So here is the second chapter! The first one was really rushed and pretty badly put together (in my opinion) so I'm hoping this one will be better. Ok. Be sure to review and….. ENJOY!
Kaede paced the living room quickly as Kater sat on the couch, watching television.
"Where the heck is that Stein?" Kaede said, sounding exasperated. "It's been an hour!" Kater snorted.
"Like I care for that guy." He replied before becoming transfixed onto the t.v screen once again. Kaede sighed and stopped pacing.
"I just want to know our classes and be done with." Then, their front door banged open and a white haired man in a swivelled chair came in, crashing down onto the floor. Kater stood up and automatically turned into a scythe. Kaede held onto her weapon as she took up her attacking position.
"Stop!" ordered the man with white hair. He stood up, his hands in the air. Kaede inspected him closely. He was tall. His face was adorned with glasses and a stitch across his cheek. A large screw was stabbed into his head and he raised his arm to turn it until Kaede could hear it click. "You wish to attack your new instructor and tour guide?" he smiled. Kaede lowered Kater and he turned back into his human form.
"Wha-?" exclaimed Kater. "You're Stein?" Stein nodded.
"Now, shall we be on our way?" Kaede paused before smiling back.
"Yeah."
"Kid? What are you doing?" Liz asked, poking her head into his room. Death the Kid looked up from his study table.
"Oh. I'm just reading." He said absently before turning back to whatever he was doing. Liz snorted.
"Yeah, right." And she marched up to him and grabbed the piece of paper he had been writing on.
"Hey!" Kid yelled in protest. Liz stifled a laugh.
"You're planning on throwing a party? For Kater?" she exclaimed. Death the Kid wrinkled his nose.
"Um Liz? Kaede is new, too." He said. Liz blushed.
"I did say her name!"
"….."
"Really! I did!"
"….."
"….."
"Give it back."
"No." Liz stuck out her tongue. "I wanna help, too." Death the Kid shook his head.
"No! Last time, it was completely messy and -" he started. Liz hit him on the head, interrupting whatever he was gonna say.
"If you do it, it will be boring! Besides, I'll do it better this time. Don't worry." Liz smiled gently and that convinced Kid enough.
"Fine... " he said reluctantly.
"Yay!"
"And this is homeroom. After lunch, you come back here for your final lessons for the day." Stein said. Kaede nodded. "Your first class starts in 3 minutes. You're lucky I have you right now." he gestured to a few seats. "Sit." As Kaede and Kater waited for the first bell to ring, Stein busied himself by preparing his dissection lesson. He brought out a fake human torso and placed it on the teachers' desk. Kaede gulped. 'The torso looks so realistic...' she thought. Then...
RRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!
Students started filing into the classroom. People looked at the new students, whispering to one another. Then, Kaede saw the gang walk in. She stood up and waved. Maka waved back and the group started heading in their direction.
"Kaede! Kater!" Liz said. She ran up to them and grinned. "Glad you could make it to class!" Kaede smiled in reply. Maka and Soul waved and sat two rows down from Kaede and her weapon. Death the Kid and his weapons sat beside them, Kid on one side of Kaede, then Kater, then Liz, then Patty.
"Hi there." Liz said as she turned to Kater. Kaede watched for a couple seconds before turning to face Kid.
"Hey."
"Hello." Kid was rearranging his shirt, so as to make it more symmetrical. Kaede laughed, trying not to giggle. 'He is so cute when he freaks out over something like this..' she thought. 'Wait a moment. Why did I just have that thought?' Kaede blushed to herself, lost in her own mind. Death the Kid seemed to notice. "Are you ok?" he asked, concern on his features. "You seem... flushed." Kaede felt her face grow even more pink. 'Shoot! What the heck is wrong with me?' she scolded herself mentally, before answering Kid's question.
"I'm fine, thanks." she smiled warmly. But Kid didn't seem too convinced and kept searching her face. Soon, Kaede became uncomfortable and did what she could to take his eyes off of her. She tugged his shirt. Death the Kid's eyes shot down and gasped.
"NO! HOW ASYMMETRICAL!" and he began frantically pulling at the hem and shifting his shirt here and there. Kaede winced as she watched Lord Death's son freak out. 'That was probably one of the lowest things I could do to Kid...' she thought, before turning to the front of the room, where Stein is dissecting the human torso.
"Here!"
"Pass the ball, Maka!"
"Wait, wha-?"
"C'mon!"
"Hey, why'd you steal the ball?"
"Score!"
"Yes!"
As you can probably see, the gang was playing basketball when Kaede and Kater walked in. Maka was the first to greet them.
"Hey! There you are!" She yelled. The others began to stop playing. Black*Star ran up and grabbed Kaede and Kater by the hand and pulled them towards the court.
"I take Kaede!" he yelled. Black*Star smiled at Kaede. "You should be honoured you got chosen by a god." Soul took the basketball from the blue-haired assassin.
"Then, we get first ball. Get ready Kater. Check." and he bounced the ball to Black*Star. Kaede noticed Maka becoming confused. She started stammering.
"Wha-? I don't know how to play! Why are we passing to eachother?" she exclaimed. Kaede started feeling sorry for her. She whispered the rules to Maka.
"We only pass the ball to the other team for check ball, and then after you have to try to get the ball into the basket on the other team's net. You have to dribble the ball, and if you take more than two steps without dribbling, the other team gets the ball..." Soon, Maka was able to know what to do to get one shot in. Soul was shocked.
"Woah. You got a shot in? Nice!" he exclaimed, giving her a quick hug, causing Maka to blush. Kaede raised an eyebrow at her. She saw me and blushed even harder. There was a tap on Kaede's shoulder. She turned and saw Death the Kid.
"Oh, hey." she said. Kid smiled.
"Do you wanna go? I'm not in the mood for basketball." Kaede nodded.
"Sure." The pair walked towards DeathBucks, wanting a place to just sit and talk.
"I'll have just some green tea." she said.
"Make that two." Kid said. The waitress nodded and left for their order. Kid turned to his companion .
"It's nice to just hang out and talk to someone like this."
"Yeah, I know. I've hadn't had a quiet moment in forever." Death the Kid wrinkled his nose. 'Aww, he's so cute when he does that...' she thought. Something in her stomach churned. 'Oh my Death, why do I keep having these thoughts and feelings when I'm around him?' Suddenly, she felt a nudge. Kaede looked up to see Kid looking at me, concerned.
"Well?" he said. I blushed.
"Oh sorry, I-I didn't hear you... I was kind of lost in my mind." she said, slightly embarrassed. He laughed.
"No, it's okay. It happens to me, too." he said, brushing it off. "I asked if you've moved around a lot."
"Oh. Yeah, I do actually. This is the first time I'm actually staying until I graduate." Kaede said. Kid smiled.
"I'm glad you are. It's a shame to see you leave DWMA so soon. Especially when I'm starting to take liking to you." He stopped, realizing what he just said and quickly tried to cover it up. "And Kater." he said hastily. "Taking a liking to you and Kater." Now it was Kid's turn to blush. she laughed and decided not to push him.
"Why, thank you." Kaede said, pushing him slightly on the shoulder. "I'm starting to take liking to you as well." They stopped for a moment, just looking into each other's eyes. 'Those eyes. They're so pretty.' I thought. 'Golden, flecked with yellow.' The spell was broken when the waitress came in with their tea.
"Thanks" Kaede and Kid said in unison. The waitress smiled and left.
"So." Kaede said, after sipping her tea. "What's on your agenda for today?" Kid smiled, almost mischievously.
"You'll find out soon enough." Kaede cocked her head to the side.
"What?" Kaede asked. He just smiled.
"C'mon, tell me." she pressed before giving up. 'I'll find out anyways. No point in pushing him now.'
I know, I know, terrible ending, I'm sorry. I'm kind of running low on ideas lately. See, my spirits came down a bit when someone started flaming me about my other fanfic, not that I was mad or anything, it was good constructive critiscm I suppose, but, you know, a bit more critiscm than constructive. Oh whatever. Can't let some flames bring down my spirits. I'm rambling. Sorry, if this one is shorter than most. Been having a hard day. I'll be updating soon, don't worry. Please review! Thank you guys! MUAH!
