CHAPTER 2: An unexpected reunion
Death the kid and Black-Star didn't really need to recover after fighting since it was only mild damages. Death himself called his son to meet with him in the death room that was now destroyed. It was just depressing. Kid was glad to see that his father was back to normal. "Hello son! Good to see you! What's up?" "How could he say that at a time like this? Is that really what you're asking me right now?! Do you realize what had just happened?" Kid bursted out of rage. He noticed his father 'The Grim Reaper' was still just as childish as ever. "Anyway son, I called you to do me a favor" He saw that his father was being serious again and returned his attention. "I need you to make sure that all the students are safe and ask them to stay at their homes to recover. The school is also damaged so it's going to take some time to rebuild. I'm going to guess that it's gonna take about a month. " Kid smiled and agreed with his father about to walk out the door "Oh, I forgot to tell you. When the school is finished, we will have a celebration for the re-opening of the DWMA. So make sure the student are in a festive mood and wearing something nice!" Death gave his son a thumb's up before he left.
Soul was getting closer and closer. His mind just went blank not even thinking about what he was doing. His eyes closed and heart pounding. Just about one inch away Maka opened her eyes. She was in shock, couldn't even talk or move (also because of her injury). Before he reached the blonde's lips, he stopped. Soul moved away from his partner eyes still shut. He sat back down on a chair beside the bed and said "What am I doing..? I don't have time to feel this way, me and Maka are just patterns, miester and weapon, nothing more" Maka didn't know how to react but his name just slipped out of her lips "S-Soul…"
Within a second Soul jump out of his seat and held her hand. "Maka! You're awake? Thank god, you had me and all of rest worried as hell!" "I'm sorry Soul, I didn't mean for you to worry about me. What happened and um why are you shirtless?" He chuckled while rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh, well you had really bad injury on your arm so I gave you my shirt to stop the bleeding…w-w-wait? How long were you awake?" All this sudden Soul was sweating from nervousness. What if she saw me? "Just now" he let out a sigh of relief but of course Maka lied, but she didn't want to make things awkward.
"How's your arm doing?" "Its fine but it looks like it was a pretty deep wound." She giggled to herself "Well now it looks like we both have battle scars" she said while placing a hand on his chest. Reminding each other that these scars were made from protecting the people that they cherish. With a cute smile she asked if they could leave the academy. Soul just nodded and carried her the whole way. Leaving the DWMA, which was now a disaster, they ran into Death The Kid whom advised them of about the re-opening. Maka for one was way to exited knowing that the school is being fixed but Soul though of it as just more school and boring classes, as usual. They decided that it was to long for him to carry Maka, so they left on his motorcycle instead. It wasn't too hard to get on the bike but once he started Soul felt like she was going to fall every minute. She just got out of surgery, in that situation they got home as soon as possible to rest.
The month of waiting and resting have past so swiftly for everyone. The academy was finally rebuilt, and had somewhat of a different style by adding new and improved items in and around the school. Lord Death gazed at his creation that turned into a wonderful success, the DWMA was his home and held a very large place in his heart. As soon as the moon rose up and filled the night's sky with blue, all the student were getting prepared for the tonight's exciting celebration. At the house of Lord Death, Death the kid took hours to fix his suit to be perfectly symmetrical. Liz and Patty both waiting on their miester were getting irritated. "Kid, you do realize the party is tonight and not in a year! Hurry up or were gonna be late. "Liz demanded. "I have told you many times before but I guess I will say it again, I have to be perfect. It's the re-opening so I must look my best." "Ughh.. Hey patty can ask him to hurry up in that special little way that you do." "Umm, ok big sis…GET YOUR ASS OUT THE DOOR NOW DAMN YOU!" She growled. And with that they were on their way to the event with tears pouring out of Kid's eyes from fear.
Black-Star and Tsubaki both got ready in only minutes. The blue hair boy didn't even bother to put on a suit or dress-shoes and walk out with only a dress-shirt that wasn't buttoned all the way and a pair of pants that were very dirty. However, Tsubaki had a very beautiful and reveling dress on. The reason that being is she wanted to get Black-Star's attention for once and see her beauty. He never complemented her or even took a second glance. She was really disappointed to know he never thought she was attractive, but on the inside all he was doing was admiring her from far to remain his "god" image. The last group to leave was Maka and Soul. It's not that they were slow, it was because she had a hard time dragging her partner to come to the party. Soul was in no mood of dancing or socializing. "Come on Soul! You promised you would go. You can't just back out now!" She said while dragging him out his room. "Well I don't care if I promised, I don't feel like going and nothing you said will change my mind! Got it?" Maka hesitantly clentch her fist "Maka…CHOP!" She slammed a book into his skull knocking Soul out cold and dragging him to the car.
Once all the students have arrived to the party, they immediately greeted their friends that they haven't seen for a month. Laughing, eating and just enjoying the night. Event the teachers had showed up to say their thanks. After everyone got to see each other. Lord Death stood in front of the entrance to give a warm-hearted speech but all that came out was "Hello kids! You all look wonderful and I hope you have fun tonight! Remember to dance and have good time!" They all stood there in silence until Black-Star stop the awkwardness and bursted out laughing. "Yahooo! Yeah! Lets have some fun!" Some music started playing and almost all the students were dancing. Maka smiled. Happy that her friends were in a cheerful mood, except one person. Soul was just sitting outside on a balcony bored out of his skull. She decided not to bother him since he was already in a bad mood. Maka winced at the corner of her eye that somebody walked in.
It was a girl in a beautiful long red dress with a mask covering her eyes and a tall handsome boy in a fancy blue suit. Maka didn't recognize who they were and went over to Kid to see if he knew. "Psst, hey Kid!" "Yes?" "Um can I ask you a question? Do you know who those two people are?" He glanced and the two teens that were near the punch table. "Hmm, I'm not sure." "Maybe there new students at the academy?" "Well it is the re-opening, it is possible. However I would think my father would tell me if there were any new students." The blond ignored it and try focusing on having fun. Her father Spirit didn't come to the event so she could anything she wanted without having her creepy dad follow her everywhere. She noticed that Soul had came inside to join the rest. Maka walked up to him "Hey Soul we should dance!" "Ughh. I don't feel like dancing!" now she was getting frustrated. "You never wanna do anything all you just do is sit around and complain all day!" A girl interrupted them. It was that mysterious girl with the red dress "Umm… Excuse me. I was wondering if u would like to dance?" the white haired girl slyly asked. "Holy crap, didn't you just hear me? I said I don't want to d-" He was cut off by a scythe came out of nowhere and attacked him. Luckily, it skinned Soul but still cut through his jacket. "What the-?" Maka dropped a glass and ran to her partner "Soul!"
The beautiful girl in the red dress stood there grinning with her right arm turned in to a scythe. "What the hell is going on? Why did you just attack me?" It was just after he asked when he noticed something… That woman, her scythe, looked just likes his. That's when she attacked him again but this time he saw that this girl was slightly glowing purple. Soul was barely dogging, creating more and more rips in his clothing. His eyes grew wide in shock. That's when he realized just who was fighting him. A pile of plates was shattered during the battle, which caught every ones attention. " Soul, go in weapon form!" Maka yelled to him. "No." "What?" "First of all, your arm hasn't completely healed, you're in no condition to fight. And plus, this is personal… This is between the two of us!" The woman started giggling. "So Soul, You figured it out?" She said returning into human form. "What are you doing here?" Soul said clenching his fist from anger and confusion. " Wow, 8 whole years gone and not even a 'hello'? That's a little rude." Everyone just had the most lost look not knowing anything that's happening. "Don't change the damn subject and tell me why you're here!" "Ummmm…Soul, do you know this women?" Maka said to finally get a clue of the situation.
The girl just started laughing. Soul lowered his head. "Your right. It's been so long since we've seen each other. But I just wanna know why… Why are you here…Sky!"
"Sky?" Maka whispered. "So, you do know her." "Yeah… I do know her… in fact… She's my sister!" Black-Star, Death the kid, Tsubaki and especially Maka's jaw dropped in shock. Trying to process what they just heard. The women removed her mask revealing her face. This women named Sky, was gorgeous. She had these pretty yet intimidating big red eyes. Long and white layered hair with blood red tips. Sky looked a lot like Soul, even when she smiled; she had razor sharp teeth of a shark. "Oh, so you haven't told her, I see… Well it was a matter of time before she was gonna find out anyway" That just made Soul furious .The handsome tall man in bleu suit walk over and sighed. "Ok, come on Sky. I think you've had your fun." "Awe… Come on Azen, just one more round?" " No. Soul, Maka… I believe we must speak at once. Meet us outside…" Sky crossed her arms and pouted, "You're no fun." They both exited the building. Everyone in complete shock of what just happened. Maka and Soul immediately started to walk out of the room before they get invaded of people questioning them. Everyone started gasping and whispering, but Maka didn't want to ruin the celebration so she asked kid "Kid, Can you try to handle everybody please." Before she left out the door. " –Sigh- Calm down everyone! Please! Yes we did have some interruptions but please continue dancing and enjoying the night! Thank you." It was hard not to think about the news but the students relaxed and resumed laughing and dancing. What was happening outside is another story… The siblings finally met, waiting outside. No one spoke, but the way that Soul and Sky were glairing at each other said many things…
