Boo yah! Chapter three already! Hahaha, this is as addicting to write as my pirate story :P anyway, I hope you guys like it. You should appreciate that I'm taking time out of my ridiculous amounts of homework to write this. Hahahaha, and just so you know, I will have all the original soul eater characters in my story, in response to a question from my friend. You will meet more of the original cast in this chapter. I feel bad for Sid :( he's going to die and become a zombie soon... and on a lighter note, that will mean Stein will be close on heels! Hehehe, I love good news! Anyway, onward with the tale of soul eater epicness!

Chapter 3: pairing up and Down
I walked to the cafeteria and got in line. After I got my food, I looked for a table. I decided to sit at an empty table so that I could collect my thoughts. Right after I sat down, a tray plopped down right next to me. I jumped when it hit the table. I looked at who it belonged to. It was the brown haired girl from earlier... Maka, I think.
"hey there. What are you doing sitting all by yourself? I'll join you. I know it's your first day and everything, but you should never sit by yourself." She said, smiling. Her partner sat on my other side. I blushed, feeling awkward. "hey." he said. Soul I think.
"Umm. Maka and Soul, right?" I said, still feeling my blush. They both nodded. Then the girl and boy from earlier came over and sat down across from me. "Tsubaki? Black*Star?" I asked. They both nodded. Tsubaki gave me a warm smile. "Well, it's a pleasure for you to get to sit with the almighty Black*Star! I'll be a god someday, so enjoy basking in my glory!" he shouted, giving an obnoxious laugh. My mouth twitched in a frown, and I refrained from saying something to him.
I ate in silence, and they talked amongst each other. I felt like I was trapped between a nerd, a cool guy, a narcissist, and a yes-girl. They tried to get me into their conversation, but I didn't offer them much to talk about... I said maybe five words...
after lunch, I went back to class. It passed rather slowly, and I had a basic idea of most of what they were covering. My partner and my mother had given me plenty of basic lessons about this kind of stuff. The Maka girl was busy scratching down notes, and the Soul kid was doodling on his notepad. I was sitting their, studying the room aimlessly.
After class dismissed, I left withought a word to anyone. "Hey, Zora!" someone called. I didn't turn around. I just wanted to go home. Someone grabbed my shoulder, and I felt my body tense up. I spun around, angry, to see Maka smiling at me. Her smile lessened when she saw my glare. "uh, something wrong?" she asked cautiously.
"No. I', just tired. I wanna go home..." I mumbled, wiping away my angry expression.
"oh, okay. Where do you live anyway? You have a place inside of Death City, Right?" Maka asked smiling at me.
"Um, no I don't I live just outside the city..." I mumbled.
"really? How can you expect to go to school here and live outside the city? You should get an apartment. The school gives us an allowance, and you could use it for that. Or you could stay with your weapon partner, but most pairs live in an apartment together." Maka said.
"i don't have a partner yet..." I mumbled.
"really?... hmmmmm. I know someone you might like. I'll introduce you tomorrow. Oh, and if you want, you can stay with us tonight." Maka said, smiling brightly.
I swallowed. "Um, no, i'd rather go home. Thanks for the offer though." I said, fake smiling.
"oh, that's fine. Meet us at the school gate, and I'll introduce you to Maxwell. I think you two would be good partners. Bye" Maka said, and she hurried off. I walked rather quickly as well, ready to go home. I got to the stairs and sighed, not wanted to walk down them all. But I did anyway. I seriously contemplated sliding down the railing, but voted against it. When I got to the bottom, I ducked into a dark ally, and opened a small shadow portal. I slipped inside silently, making sure no one was watching. I came back up right outside my forest. I ran through the trees, and then ran up my steps, hurrying inside. I sat down on my couch with a heavy sigh.
Riley and Alex materialized beside me. "I'll go prepare dinner, Princess" he said, walking to the kitchen. Zero materialized next, taking off his mask and pulling his hood down. "what a day..." He said, smiling at me. Alex yawned, and stretched out on the couch across from me.
Riley called us to the kitchen, and he quickly served us all, laying the dishes out using his Vector Shadows. We all ate quickly, ready to go to bed. After the meal I went to my room, and my shadows went to their's, and Zero retired to his. Once in my room, I walked to my bathroom, which was quite large. I turned on the bathwater, and all three faucets started. The tub was large enough for four people to fit inside, not like that would ever happen though, but i did enjoy having lots of room. I Undressed quickly, and looked at my flawless skin in the mirror for a moment.
No matter how badly I had been hurt, I had no scars to show for my hardships. My body couldn't scar, because of how well it healed. Most wounds healed within a day, and they rarely took that long. My body had both natural and unnatural methods of repairing itself. Angels naturally healed quickly, as did shadow meisters. Shadows rarely died from wounds, because they were almost invincible. Only strong souls and those who use light can kill them. they pass on their healing abilities to shadow meisters. So overall, I was near impossible to kill. It was strange to think about.
I sighed, and slid into my bathtub, soaking in the hot water. I filled it with soap, and made a bubble bath. I soaked for a minute before applying my shampoo. I washed, but stayed in the bath for almost two hours, enjoying the peace of my little oasis. Eventually I made myself get out. I dried off and put on my nightgown, and climbed into my bed. I soon fell asleep.
~Allientis~ ~Aliientis~ ~Allientis~ ~Allientis~ ~Allientis~
The next morning I was up early. I put on a nice black dress and walked to the kitchen, where I quickly ate breakfast. I put a cloak on. I loved cloaks, I had dozens of them. They were all kinds of different designs. I was wearing a very thin, Lacey one. It had a stiff collar, but the rest of it flowed like water around my backside. It was an open cloak, so it didn't cover my front. It only shadowed my back.
I went quickly through the forest, and once I was out of the forest I dove into the shadow realm. I surfaced quite close to the city, in the end of a long alley. I slipped out onto the street when no one was looking my way. I quickly climbed the steps of the school, remembering what Maka had said to me. So I waited right outside of the school, waiting for Maka.
A few minutes later she climbed the steps With Soul at her side. There was another boy with her, a Blond boy. They came my way. "hey Zora, This Is max, The boy I was telling you about. Max, this is the new student, Zora." Maka said, smiling.
"hello..." The boy said smiling. I shook his hand, looking him up and down. He dressed rather nicely, although not overly formal.
"Hello." I said, giving a small smile. "so, what kind of Weapon are you?" I said.
"A Sword, although I can also become a scythe." he said. Smiling proudly.
"two forms?" I said, smiling.
"yep. I have royal blood, so it's expected I'm just that cool."
"You're a prince?'
"half Prince."
"oh? Well, then I like you all the better. Would you like to be my partner?"
"Yeah, sure. Glad I Finally found a partner."
"Glad I didn't have to look very long" I said with a laugh.
The boy smiled. "I'll be transferring to your class. So, shall we go?" he said, smiling. I nodded, and we walked to class together along with Maka and Soul.
A prince huh? Zero would be quite surprised... Hahah, funny, since I'm a princess, technically speaking.
We arrived in our class. We sat next to Maka. "so, how's your soul collection going, Maka?" I asked. It didn't really concern me, but it seemed like something people here asked.
"Almost their. All we need is one more Kishin egg and then a witch soul. We're so close!" Maka said, happily. "yeah. I'm going to be so much cooler than I already am!" Soul said, grinning his toothy grin.
I smiled, nodding. "that's pretty cool." I said, offering a smile. Max Smiled as well, clearly impressed by their numbers.
We whispered through the class, but make and Max took notes as well. I heard most of what Sid said, and I had three people inside of my mind that could memorize it for me anyway. Zero had a strong telepathic link to me. It was almost like he was in my mind with me. Alex and Riley were actual somewhat inside of my mind. A shadow is a portal, and they can sit inside my mind using it. It was very hard hard to describe... it's like their was a table in my mind, and they sat their, but they were separated from the thoughts I didn't let through the door to their room... that was how I thought of it at least...
When it was lunchtime, we all went together. We were joined by Black*Star and Tsubaki., and we all sat together, and this time I offered some for the conversation. I was starting to enjoy their company. It was nice to finally have some friends beside the shadows. Not that I didn't like them. We talked mostly about Soul collections. It seemed Black*Star had none at the moment. More surprisingly, he didn't seem to care one bit.
After Lunch we returned to class, and the school day was soon over. We exited the building talking away. Tsubaki and Black*Star were the first to leave, and Maka and soul were the next to leave. Me and Max walked down the steps together. "So do you want to stay at my place, or get an apartment? Maka told me you live outside the city, and you should come into the city. I live by myself, so you should come in with me. Being a prince, my parents built me a house out here. I even have a servant. It's quite nice." Max said, smiling sweetly at me.
"Okay... I suppose I could try it..." I said, looking up towards the laughing sun.
"that's good to hear. I'll lead the way." he said brightly. I followed him through the city streets, looking around. Soon he stopped. "this is it!" he chimed happily. I looked at his house. It was a good size, maybe half the size of my mansion out in the demon woods, as people called my forest.
"it looks nice." I said. But not nearly as nice as my place. My place is much dark, and homier in my opinion. But this will do for now. Don't expect this to last to long... I added on in my mind. I could hear Alex laughing inside my head. I couldn't help but smirk slightly. I followed him inside. It was very proper looking. It seemed formal, but also comfortable. Not as bad as I was expecting. I guess I could make this work... and I would blend in better...i thought with a grin.
"this is a very nice place you have here. Very nice indeed." I said, smiling.
"Glad you think so. I'll give you a tour" he said sweetly, and led me through the house. Overall, it was a little bright, but It seemed like something I'd be able to deal with. He showed me my room, and I immediately made a mental note of what would be going. He led me back to the living room, and we both sat down. "Nice, huh?" he said, and I nodded.
He had his servant make us some dinner. I sat on the couch awkwardly while I waited. I studied every detail of the house, noticing how I seemed to be displeased with most of the decorations. What horrid taste. But of course I wouldn't say anything. My mother had raised me to be a lady... she hit me whenever I made a negative comment... hahaha... yeah... anyway...
The food was pretty good. Wasn't exactly to my tastes, but it was still good. It was hard trying to adapt to my new situation. I was very uncomfortable being somewhere I wasn't familiar with. I was an adaptive species, but I disliked that I always had to. Not to mention I just wanted to be home relaxing with my shadows, or taking a hot bath. I sighed quietly as I ate. Max gave me a few confused glances, almost as if he knew I was unhappy, even though I was trying to look happy.
After dinner, I went to the room he had given me. It was rather nice, and it had it's own bath. There was a soft knock on my door. I went and opened the door. Max, of course.
"are you alright? Do you think you'll like it here?" he asked, looking like he really cared.
I nodded. "yeah, it's just so different than what I'm used to..." I mumbled, looking away.
"I understand. Tell me if you need anything." he said, smiling at me.
"yeah, okay. I'm going to take a bath and then I'll be going to bed, so goodnight." I said with a yawn. He nodded, and left. I closed the door, and locked it. It went to the bathroom, and turned the water on. I quickly undressed, and got into the water. I took a quick bath, feeling unable to thoroughly relax in this place.
Afterward, I climbed into my bed. I growled at the ditzy decorations about the room. It was so light and prim and sweet. It made me sick. Where was the color? The black? The style? It was missing. Rich people never seemed to have any sense of style.
After an hour of tossing and turning, and finally fell into a light sleep. I had horrible nightmares of porcelain dolls and white plates and stupid rich kids and white dresses. I woke up in a sweat. "this isn't going to work..." I growled. I laid back down, seeing it was still the middle of the night. I fell asleep again quite quickly, and had no more dreams. This was going to take some getting used to...
so... did you like it? Hahah, I sure had some fun writing it. I'm thinking max will have an older brother who attends the school as a meister... anyway, you will probably see some of the first chapters of the manga incorporated into the next chapter. I know Maka's will, and maybe Black*Star's. Maybe Kidd's, I don't know. I doubt his will, but maybe I could fit it in... anyway, Sid will probably Die in the chapter after next, and I'm thinking I'll send Zora on the mission to catch Sid and stein... I'm going to have fun with that :D mwahahahahah! Fun time ;) I probably won't get the next chapter up this weekend. I'm typing up a story that me and my friend have been writing for months now. We are on chapter 20 now, so I'm going to start typeing that up. After we get it posted, maybe I'll give you guys a link... anyway, please review my story~ I would be really grateful to know your thoughts. I know there are people out there reading this. Even if it's only one friends that is as big of a fangirl as me... anyway
PLEASE review this story~
