SoulBlue Chapter 2

Hazama's Arrival

Sorry for the Hiatus guys! I was writing this on pad and paper originally and ideas were lacking for a little bit… :P But anyway, enjoy Chapter 2!

(CARL P.O.V)

Here we were. We had reached Shibusen, Death Weapon Meister Academy, or DWMA for those who don't feel like saying a mouthful. As we headed in, I felt Ada flinch.

"Is something wrong?" I asked her.

"…" She always replied that way, but I seem to be the only one who understands her.

"Nothing wrong? You insist?" I sighed. I was trying to urge her to tell me, since I too felt somewhat of a dangerous presence. I could hear hissing… like, snake hissing… I wonder…

(HAZAMA P.O.V)

"42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's door." I mumbled as I wrote the numbers with my finger on the foggy glass window. I heard a ringing noise, and then I saw him. Shinigami-sama was his name. This guy was the principal of the DWMA. I tipped my fedora down in greeting and fixed my overcoat. As of now, I was just an innocent soul. Soon, I would become a kishin.

"Aaaah, yes, Hazama, is that yooou?" He shouted. I flinched a little. Was this… um… freak show the "ever so deadly" Lord Death? He was such a carefree little monkey. I hesitated.

"Yes… sir, it is I, Hazama." I answered. "I ask of you permission into the Death Room."

"The Death Room, eh?" Shinigami-sama pondered. "Okay. Just step right through the window." My eyed widened at that.

"Huh? Through that window… you want me to go—"

"Yes… There used to be a barrier, but now I can turn it on and off. It's quite useful." This was utter bull-crap to me, but I had to believe it. I took my left leg and stuck it through the window. Then the other. The coot was right; I could get through this thing. Soon enough, my entire body had gone through the window and into the Death Room.

"There. Ta-da, whoop-dee-doo." I mumbled.

"Want anything? Tea? Coffee?" Lord Death inquired.

"Uh… coffee, sure." I answered. He went without another word. I started strolling around the Death Room. There were black crooked crosses planted everywhere in the uncharacteristically yellow ground. The walls were sky blue, even with clouds that seemed to actually move on them, like, in real life. This was one psycho place I'd dropped in. Again, I looked down at the numerous crosses. I stopped at a certain cross. Just by looking at it, I could tell under it lies the whacked-up soul of the kishin. You know, the one that wreaked havoc in Death City only a meager few weeks ago, that one. I snapped my fingers. One of my green and black snakes clipped out of my overcoat and onto the ground. Go. I told it. Revive the soul. Bring back the kishin. I want him A.S.A.P; you got me? The snake slithered into the ground with no problems. It was going to take 3 days for the kishin (again) to be reborn, but I could wait. It was the time (though in a different city) to make innocent people's lives a living hell. While… "Enjoying" myself of course.

5 minutes later, Shinigami-sama returned with my coffee; which I really felt like chucking at his face. Or… mask, in this case.

"Now, since you're here in the Death Room Hazama, would you like to take a look at the rest of the school?" He suggested. I shrugged.

"Meh. I don't feel like walking. Took me a little while to get here, y'know." Shinigami-sama waved his hands.

"No, no, no. I mean through the mirror." Damn, his mirror could do freaking anything, what else? The next thing I needed to see is the mirror showing us someone's bathroom.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I lied. We went over to the mirror, and every 5 minutes it seemed, the view would change to a different place in the school. Just after the camera changed for the fifth time, I almost spat out the coffee in my mouth. I saw… 5 people – scratch that – 6. And the strange thing was… they were from frickin' Kagutsuchi! It was Ragna; the stupid vampire named Rachel (but I don't give two sh!ts about what her name is), Litchi, Bang, Carl and that whatchamacallit, Nirvana. The little twat calls her "Ada" though. Shinigami-sama saw my expression.

"Is something the matter? Do you know those folks? Come to think of it, they're coming to the Death Room right now with some of my greatest students."

"Uh… um… No… not really… I don't really know them. I'll… I'll be going now, sorry for the rush." I stuttered, and then left through the mirror. As I stepped through the mirror, I could hear the 6 idiots entering the Death Room. This was going to be quite a fun experiment.

(LIZ P.O.V)

We entered the Death Room to bring our… "prisoners" to Lord Death.

"Hello there! I see the mission was a success. Great job… well… even though you did get injured in the process."

"Thank you sir." Maka said.

"Okay, let's review." Lord Death clapped his large white hands. "Ragna, Rachel, Bang, Litchi, Carl, Nirvana." I saw Carl clench his fists.

"Don't call her that." He mumbled.

"Well," Shinigami-sama said. "What do we call her then?"

"Ada." Carl replied.

"That's fine with me. Ada it is." Lord Death rubbed his hands together. "Now then, let's get down to business. Which of you are weapons?" There was an awkward and uncomfortable silence.

"Excuse me?" Rachel broke the silence. Lord Death sighed.

"Kid, please explain." Kid nodded, (having been silent the entire time) and told them everything there was to know about meisters and weapons. It took him a good 20 minutes to explain, but they seemed to get it.

"Now, to see if you're a weapon, you need to focus yourself. Be in peace with your soul, stay ––"

"Cut the crap already and get to the point." Snapped Ragna, obviously impatient. Kid showed a tad of anger.

"If you turn, for example, white, that mean's you're about to transform. Okay, now go for it." All of them closed their eyes and concentrated. Even Ada seemed to be doing so. The cats Nago and Gii were into it too. It only took a few seconds, and Nago, Gii, Nirvana and Bang started to glow. Nago and Gii were a mix of red and navy blue, Nirvana was a pale purple and Bang was a lively red-orange. At once, they turned into weapons, each getting different reactions.

"Milady, what just happened?" squeaked Gii. Nago and Gii had formed one weapon, and that was a long but lightweight sword with an emblem on the blade. The emblem was a navy blue and red lightening bolt. The sword handle and scabbard next to it were also these colors.

"Nago! Gii! What has become of you?" Rachel scolded.

"Princess, I think we turned into some sort of weapon like that Shinigami guy said!" answered Nago.

"Quite the interesting sight." She snapped back, but showed signs of calming down. We turned our heads to Bang, whom had turned into an enormous nail with a red tattered scarf wrapped around it. It looked a lot like the one he wore.

"This, I must admit, is pretty cool!" shouted Bang. "It fits me very well, yes indeeeeed." Black Star started jumping around.

"AWESOME! TOTALLY AWESOME! GIMME A BRO FIST!" Black Star yelled at the top of his lungs. Lord Death showed multiple signs of anger. Then, out of rage, one of his hands became massive and knocked it on Black Star's head, ultimately leaving him unconscious. Tsubaki, in worry, ran over to his aid. Just about everyone else looked dumbfounded. Even Ragna started backing away a little.

"Sorry kiddies. He's always like this." Lord Death sighed. A sweat drop formed on Litchi's head.

"We noticed on our way here… it's like they're new BFFs now." Litchi sighed. Carl paid no attention to this though; his eyes were trained on Nirvana's new form. There were two gloves. One had a drill implemented into it; the other had numerous needles sticking out of the knuckles.

"But…" Carl hesitated. "I don't like her like this. I like her in her real form." Carl turned to Shinigami-sama, his look a mix of agony and anger. He ran over and pounded on Lord Death. "Change her back, NOW!" he cried, over and over. I was a little choked up at this, but quickly snapped out of it as I saw Shinigami-sama take off Carl's hat and pat his head.

"Now, now." He said calmly. "You can change her back if you want her to. She just needs to do the same as she did to turn into a weapon." Carl looked up at his mask and nodded.

"Oh, okay…" he said. Lord Death sighed in relief.

"Anyway, I will now assign the weapons to their meisters." Lord Death announced. "Nago and Gii, since they are Rachel's servants in a way, will be Rachel's weapon." Rachel nodded in assent. "Ada will be Carl's weapon, since she's his… sister. And finally, Litchi will be with Bang." This made Black Star open his eyes, awakening from his unconscious state.

"WHAT? NOOOOT FAIR, SHINIGAMI-SAMA! I WANT TO BE WITH BANG-SEMPAI! I DON'T WANNA BE WITH TSU—" Tsubaki quickly got up, making Black Star's head hit the floor. "OW! WHAT THE HELL! YOU—" Black Star then saw who he was yelling at. His weapon. Tsubaki. A single tear was running her cheek.

"That's what you think of me?" She asked quietly, her voice trembling. "I — I'm shocked, Black Star. You see one super-awesome-mega-cool weapon and you go running for him or her, forgetting you already have someone loyal to you." She wiped her tear away and started walking, then broke into a run, going away and exiting the Death Room. Black Star, finally knowing what he'd done to the poor girl, ran after her, shouting things like "Tsubaki, I'm sorry!" or "I'll never do it again!" There was yet another silence between us.

"Poor girl…" Litchi clasped her hands onto her mouth.

"Woooow, hasn't the mood been changing so much today?" Lord Death said, trying to lighten the mood. "Don't worry about them. Tsubaki sort of has some affection towards Black Star, and she'll forgive him. So, that's it. You may all be dismissed."

"Wait, wait, WAIT!" bellowed Ragna, making Soul roll his eyes, the first actual thing he did since we come in the Death Room. "What about me? I don't have a weapon. Oh wait, that's right, I do haveone." Ragna drew his giant sword. Lord Death chuckled.

"Try using it." He said simply. Ragna shrugged, and then readied his sword.

"DEATH SPIKE!" he shouted, but nothing rose from his sword. "CARNAGE SCISSORS!" He tried and tried, move after move, but nothing happened. Ragna sighed and dropped his sword at his feet. "What's wrong with this? It's turned into a piece of crap!" He shouted.

"Now that you've come to Death City, your weapons from the outside are useless. Since we don't have any of this… seithr that you need to power your weapons."

"Well that sucks." Grumbled Ragna.

"But don't worry, I'll ask Sid, one of the teachers if he knows about any meister-less weapons. Give me a second." Shinigami-sama went and called Sid using the mirror.

"You called?" asked Sid. He was a pale-blue skinned zombie (no screaming, please, kids), with really big teeth and toned… huge… muscles. He was also wearing a jersey with the number "23" on the back. He worked as one of the teachers at the DWMA.

"Yes. Just one fairly quick thing. Can you check the computers for any weapons without meisters?" Lord Death asked.

"Yep. Give me a sec." Sid went away, but in a minute he came back with a piece of paper. "Who's the weapon-less meister?" Ragna stepped up to the mirror.

"That'd be me." Ragna said. Sid nodded.

"Your weapon is a boy, and he has —"

"Just give me the name." Ragna interrupted. Sid sighed.

"You're working with a guy named… um… J-Jin… Ki-Kisa-sarag—" Ragna was twitching angrily.

"JIN KISARAGI?" Ragna bellowed. Everyone in the room's eyes widened at his shout. Sid merely nodded.

"He's around in the school somewhere. I'll tell him that he's got a meister now." And with that, Sid hung up. Ragna was still angry.

"You've gotta be…" He was cursing under his breath. A sweat drop formed on Lord Death's mask.

"Like I said before… uh… you are dismissed." We all nodded, Ragna still grumbling, and then headed out of the Death Room.

(BLACK STAR P.O.V)

I had to find Tsubaki. I was being so stupid to her, saying those things right in front of her face… Even a man who surpasses God makes these mistakes. I kept running all over the school to find Tsubaki. Dammit, where was she? But then I heard slight sobbing coming from somewhere. I looked all over, until I saw her finally. She was sitting on a staircase, covering her face in her hands, bent over, sounding miserable. Even her ponytail was drooping. I really hated to see my weapon – heck, she's my friend too! – in this kind of state. I sat next to her and put my arm around her shoulder.

"Tsubaki…" I whispered. Tsubaki removed her hands from her face and she looked at me, her eyes somewhat puffy from crying.

"Black Star…" she whimpered. I held out my arms to her.

"I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you… I – like the amazing man I am – can get carried away with those kinds of things. Please forgive me… and… um… give me a hug?" I offered. Tsubaki smiled faintly and nodded, and then instantly hugged me. I curled my lips into a smile and patted her back as she hugged me. I could hear muffled "Yes, I forgive you, Black Star." Coming from Tsubaki. I chuckled, and then kissed her head out of the blue. Just expect the God-like me to do something unexpected! Tsubaki looked up at me, her eyes shining. "Let's go and meet up with the others." I said. She nodded, and off we went. On our way, I felt as if someone was watching us from behind as we went. Just then…

"BOOBIE LADY!" I heard a playful voice shout. The figure that I assumed was the one that shouted instantly tackled Tsubaki. Tsubaki was confused and scared at the same time. The figure on top of Tsubaki appeared to be in a long cloak with a tail and ears sticking out, a lot like a cat… "Huh?" questioned the creature. "You're not Boobie Lady! But your boobies are as big as hers!" Then she started… playing with Tsubaki's – I was twitching a little. This conversation was aaaawwwkwaaard. But I felt blood leaking out of my nose. Was this a… nosebleed? Crap, I couldn't let Tsubaki see this! I started wiping my nose with a random tissue I pulled out of nowhere. Tsubaki quickly got up, red as a tomato.

"Um… nice to… meet you, cat thing, but, uh… we gotta go! Black Star!" She grabbed my wrist and we ran off. I felt myself black out from my nosebleed. Damn Tsubaki's boobs!

(NORMAL P.O.V)

Taokaka sighed. Her meister finally caught up with her.

"Don't run off like that, Taokaka!" she shouted. "You know it's also not polite to tackle people and… um… what's the word… harass them!" Taokaka's meister scolded.

"Sorry Makoto-chan…" Taokaka sighed, and then they continued on their way to the mission board.
