Atros waited outside Shibusen. The team reported that they'd be heading back soon. Nothing else though. No one but them knew how it went, if the witch was dead, or if the whole team had survived.

He then heard the clunk of a skateboard hitting the cement, someone running across the stones of the school, and two motorcycles. He saw Kid and Black*Star standing there, their weapons transformed, and had worry written all over their faces. Soul and Maka soon came to a halt after driving up the long set of stairs, and Phantom swerved to a stop, leaving tire marks (which totally made Kid flip), and quickly pulled his helmet off. Atros smiled, but then looked over worriedly when he saw that Casper's arms were only held around Phantom with a checkerboard sweatband. He quickly freed them and removed her helmet, picking her up.

"Atros, tell Lycao and Naigus we need help, now," Phantom told his brother. The eldest saw the worry in his younger brother's eye.

"Sure, but what happened?"

"We don't know."

And in their profession, that was usually bad.

WwwwwwwwwwwW

The gang now stood outside the nurse's office. Each worried about their friend, hoping she was alright. Phantom had his headphones on, blaring music. He didn't want to hear what Lycao's or Naigus' words were through the door, in case his girlfriend was at Death's door as he feared. He prayed she'd be fine. They all sat in silence, praying and hoping for Casper's safety.

After almost an hour, Lycao walked out. "Is she okay?" Maka asked. It was apparent that she beat everyone to the question they all wanted answered.

"For now. We aren't exactly sure what it was that Raven gave her," Lycao said. Phantom exhaled in relief, but worry still filled him. He pulled the syringe out from his pocket.

"I grabbed this, in case you could figure out exactly what it is," he explained, handing it to the witch. She quickly snatched it and looked at the small drops of substance still in it.

"I think I recognize it. I know that it's dangerous. Oh, I know what it is. It's on the tip of my tongue," she muttered to herself, tapping her chin. Stein then walked down the hallway.

"Excuse me Lycao, but Lord Death requires you and the students in the Death Room," the professor told her.

"Okay. Give this to Naigus and tell her to be careful with it. Im not exactly sure what it does, so it could be deadly," Lycao said, handing it to the teacher. Phantom's eyes widened when she said 'deadly'.

"Don't worry dude. It's probably not," Soul said. Phantom was still troubled with 'probably' in the sentence. They all headed down the hall and to the Death Room. Lord Death seemed to hold a green glass ball in his hand.

"Lycao, this was sent for you," he said, handing it to the witch. She gently took it, and as soon as her fingers touched it, a hologram of Raven appeared.

"Hello Lycao. In case you haven't noticed yet, Mabaa has sent me to try getting you into join the witch's council," the evil witch said. "And, unfortunate for you, I drew your daughter into this. It's easy really. Do as Mabaa asks, and I'll give you the antidote. But I'd hurry. Casper only has a week." With that, the message disappeared.

"W-what are we supposed to do?" Maka asked.

"...I'm not sure," Lycao said. "Either way it's risky. Joining the witch council will lead to my alliance with you to be broken, which will make me able to get hunted down. On the other, if I don't..." she didn't finish.

"Why not just go after her?" Phantom suggested.

"No, that wouldn't work. She could destroy the antidote if she finds out Shibusen sent someone after her,"Lycao replied.

"What if she doesn't have an antidote at all?" Kid asked.

"She has it. We witch's might play dangerous games and make bad bets, but when we make deals we always keep our side of the bargain. She has it. I just have to figure out if there's anyway to get around this."

"So basically, we're going to do nothing for now," Phantom asked.

"Course not! We'll be trying to figure out what the substance is and find an antidote ourselves-"

"In a week? You heard her. Casper only has one week! After that, she could die for all we know! Plus, we'd be throwing away the purpose for the last couple month's research!" Phantom protested. "Going after Raven will make it easier for us to slay her and get the antidote."

"We know Phantom. But the possibility that Raven could destroy it if we sent someone after her is very risky," Lord Death said.

"But-" he started.

"Sir, you know Casper wants more than anything for Raven to die. If she finds out we totally threw away that purpose for her safety, she'll be furious," Maka stated.

"I know that. But there's nothing else we can do if we want to keep Casper alive," the elder shinigami said.

"Or try. We only have a week. How are you supposed to find the antidote for this in that little amount of time?" Phantom asked.

"Father, just let us go after her and try to get it-" Kid started.

"No, I'm sorry. You are not allowed to go after Raven," Lord Death said. "And that's an order." The gang went silent. Orders were orders, no matter what. They couldn't fight against it once they were made. "I would like you all to leave and get ready for your regular schedules tomorrow. Lycao, tell Stein, Naigus, Spirit, and Atros to come join us."

"Sure thing," Lycao said, disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Yes sir," the students said, each of their voices tinged with disappointment or grim. Phantom was the first to head off. They all watched, none wanting to bother the weapon, who they clearly could tell was enraged.
