Chapter 1 Introduction to dying

Soul woke up with a headache and sore back. He groaned, it had been a full week since his and Maka's wavelengths were almost completely drained by that…thing, and he still had bruises!

"Soul! Get up! We're going to be late!" He heard Maka call.

'Great,' Thought Soul 'Just what I needed'. Little did he know, the day was just going to go downhill from there

That particular day, a new student was joining the DWMA. In the class of Franken Stein, he was introduced to Maka, Soul, and their friends.

"Hello class," Said the DWMA's resident psychopath "Today, we have a new student; Yajuu Monstua." He gestured to a young man with black hair with white bangs. He had a pale complexion, but no one could tell what color his eyes were; they were covered by his bangs.

"If you could take a seat there next to Miss Albarn," Stein said pointing to Maka. Yajuu obliged. As he sat down Maka thought there was something familiar about him.

'What is it about this guy that rings a bell?' She thought to herself. Yajuu looked around the room

'Geez, can't the Grim Reaper have chosen people a little more qualified?' He thought. 'that kid with the spiked hair is really obnoxious, and what I can assume is his partner is too shy, Albarn and Evens are as different as night and day, as for Death the Kid and his partners, the only reason they can resonate that I can think of, is if one, or two respects the other(s)'

As he was looking at Kid and his two partners he noticed the younger one was giggling at something hysterical. "Miss Thomson!" Yelled Stein "What is so funny that you have to interrupt my dissection!?" Patty put her head on her desk and stopped laughing.

"Sorry Professor…" she said softly. Yajuu thought for sure he still heard a tiny snicker.

The following day Soul and Maka didn't see Kid, Liz, or Patty through the entire day, except when they were walking home after classes. Both Meister and Weapon were surprised when Soul was knocked over. "Hey! Watch it!" He yelled after the runner flew by.

"Soul! Maka! Come on!" Yelled Liz as she ran towards the hospital with Maka and Soul in pursuit. They followed Liz to one of the emergency rooms. It was small and only had one cupboard that was asymmetrical even though Kid was right next to it. Soul looked at Maka; if Kid was ignoring something asymmetrical something must be wrong! They both looked at the patient in the hospital bed in horror. It was Patty. She was unconscious and barely breathing. Tsubaki was comforting Liz on one side and kid was looking depressed on the other with black star leaning on the wall.

"It's my fault…." They herd Kid repeat over and over again.

"Who could've done…?" Maka cut herself off. She knew what could've done this. Soul turned to Liz

"What happened?" he asked. Liz looked up at him. Her make-up was running all over her face turning her tears black with mascara

"We were just walking last night after a mission, and this….thing, just appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Patty by the neck and…." Liz burst into tears again.

"Liz, its ok…" Tsubaki said patting her on the back. Kid stood up

"That monster…it…." Kid choked on the lump in his throat. "Ripped out her soul"

Maka gasped. "What-?

"How is that even possible?" asked Soul.

"WELL, WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS, IT'S GONNA DIE FOR HURTING ONE OF THE FRIENDS OF THE GREAT BLACK STAR!" (Guess who! Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt such a somber moment, I just thought it could use some comic relief. Anyway,) Black star ran out of the room faster than if he used speed star. Tsubaki stood up and bowed politely.

"He'll probably kill himself out there; I'd better go check on him. If Patty wakes up, tell her Black star and I are going to avenge her." she said with a strange tone that was unfamiliar with Tsubaki, was it….anger? In any case Tsubaki left hurrying to Black Star. As soon as she left, a nurse came walking in.

"Excuse me," she said "But visiting hours are over-" She was interupted by Kid who walked up to her and showed his identification "Huh? Oh! Im sorry! I didn't know you were a Grim Reaper!" she bowed "Please, stay as long as you like!" she turned to Maka and Soul "But I'm afraid you two must leave"

"It's alright, we were just leaving" Maka said and turned to Soul "Come on Soul"

"Alright" he replied. Before they left, Maka turned to look at Patty one last time. As they were walking through the hall before Maka said anything else. Soul walked right past her and turned around

"Soul" Maka said with her eyes covered "Do you feel like visiting Black Star and Tsubaki?" Soul smirked evily.
