Ok, so to answer the reviews, I never really thought of who Kid would have kids with. I thought maybe Liz, but I'm not really sure. After all, we don't know how Kid came to be, so I thought it would remain a mystery, lol. At first, I couldn't really imagine him looking the same as Shinigami-sama either. There were a couple scenes where he was dressed as a reaper and it looked pretty cool, so that's what I had originally imagined. I just put the 'child friendly mask' in there so he wouldn't look scary to the kids, lol. And, of course, thank you to those who read and reviewed! I really appreciate it and I hope you enjoy this next chapter, though it might not be that great.
I don't own Soul Eater and its characters and such. But you knew that, didn't you? =3
As soon as they left the Death Room, Eida headed straight for the library. She wasn't sure why, but that's where she always seemed to find the twin reapers, with their nose in a book.
"I hope you know what you're doing Eida. If we get everything confiscated because this mission goes wrong, we'll have to start all over again. You know how hard it was to collect all those kishin eggs." Blade lectured. Eida was ignoring him. She already knew what was at stake, which was why she made the deal in the first place.
"Gee have some faith will ya? I promised I'd turn you into a death axe, so I will. This mission will just be another notch on our belt, no big deal, right?" She walked into the library, Blade following behind her.
"This place again. Are you here to check out another book? You can't fight with a book in your hand you know."
"I can," she retorted, "but that's not why we're here." Once she spotted her targets sitting at a table with a copy of the same book in front of them, she made her way over to them.
"Hey guys," she greeted with a small wave and a broad smile, "What you reading?" They each looked over to Eida and Blade standing before them, looking from one to the other. Eida's smile didn't falter while Blade looking around, as though searching for someone.
"What do you want Eida?" Kenji asked, "You always have that smile when you want something."
Eida gave an embarrassed chuckle. She didn't realize how well they knew her until just then.
"Well you see, there's this mission right? And Blade and I wanted to take it, but Lord Death said we couldn't unless the two of you agreed to come with us. He said you'd be the best for the job," she explained. The two of them looked at each other with wide eyes.
"He really said that?" Kenji asked, a hint of surprise in his tone. Blade and Eida both nodded their reply, only to see their faces light up.
"We're in!" Renji yelled, "Let's go tell the girls!"
"Are you mad? Yumi will never want to go when she finds out how dangerous this mission is."
"Of course she will!" Let's go! We'll meet you out front in 22 minutes," Renji told them, and then the both of them rushed out of the room before Eida had the chance to say another word.
Blade put his hands in his pockets and sighed.
She turned to Blade to share the comment that was on her mind as the twins walked away, but was slightly confused by the dreamy look in his eye.
"Blade? What are you thinking about?"
"If we're bringing Renji, that means Yuki is coming too," he said, his voice sounding as dreamy as the look in his eyes. He'd had a crush on her ever since they met on the first day of school, but by then they were already partnered. She rolled her eyes and walked towards the exit of the library. She knew about his crush on Yuki, but she also knew that Yuki never saw him that way. They were only friends. She only didn't have the heart to burst his dreamy little bubble.
After 22 minute had passed, Eida and Blade met up with Renji and Kenji and their weapons Yuki and Yumi.
"Hi Yuki," Blade greeted dreamily. He couldn't help but stare. She had long black hair and sparkling hazel eyes, which she rolled when she noticed Blade staring.
"He's staring again Yumi! I told you!"
"Just be nice sis, he'll get over it eventually."
Before long, the 6 of them headed off.
"Where Are we going again?" Blade inquired.
"Britain I think," Eida. It took them hours to get there by plane, something that both Eida and Blade weren't too fond of.
"I hate planes," Eida commented, her face tinted green and her stomach queasy. "Me too," Blade groaned, wearing the same 'I'm gonna barf' expression. The others ignored this.
Once they arrived in Britain, the asked around for the place they were looking for. T was supposed to be a small community just outside of London.
"That must be it," Eida pointed. It seemed like its own little town, but the gates were closed and heavily chained.
"Wow, I guess they're really trying to keep people out. Well, they don't want us here, let's go home," Blade said Eida grabbed the hood of his jacket as he tried to walk away.
"Nice try Blade."
Eida stood at the gate, her small feminine hands clutching the heavy, rot iron bars, her cheeks rested against her finger. Everything seemed strange, out of place; Blade though so too. The air was chilly. It was the kind of chill that made the hair on the back of their neck stand up. They all knew something was different, but they came there with a goal and neither meister was leaving until it was completed.
"Let's go Blade," Eida told him, a determined look on her face. Blade knew that expression all too well and knew there was no arguing with it. He transformed into a double sided axe which Eida caught as it well towards her. She swung it once and chopped the chains into pieces. The axe was large and seemed like it would be heavy for anyone, though Eida wielded it with ease. Renji and Kenji were slightly impressed. The gates creaked open allowing them entry.
"I don't like this place Eida. Let's get this over with quickly ok?" Blade mentioned. Eida nodded, acknowledging his concerns. Eida went in the other two following along, carrying chainsaws.
"This place is creepy," Eida whispered.
"Agreed," the twins said in unison. The town was practically empty. Other than the lights on in a few windows, Eida might've thought it was deserted. They crept along silently, the ax thrown over her shoulder nonchalantly, though her grip was tight.
"You shouldn't be here ya know," Eida heard behind her. The three of them whipped around so quickly they became dizzy for a moment. A young girl, who looked about their age, stood before them. The blonde hair in pig tails made her the appearance of innocence, but the smirk on her face explained otherwise.
"Who're you?" Eida inquired, axe at the ready. The girl gave an eerie sort of giggle.
"You should leave while you still can. I can't give you another chance," the girl answered She stuck out her hand, as though waiting for something. A scythe came floating towards her, almost as though she'd called it from somewhere. Eida stood there, ax at the ready. She wasn't sure what would happen next, but she was fairly certain this was the one they were looking for. The smile on the girl's face didn't seem quite normal, like it was forced. Renji and Kenji pulled the cords and started their weapons, prepared to fight.
"Her soul must be a kishin egg," Kenji told Eida, starting up his weapon. "Let's finish this and go home."
Eida stood ready, waiting for an attack. She wouldn't attack first. She rarely ever did. The girl came running for them with speed that they were both surprised by. Just as the girl lunged for her, Eida saw a strange glint of light that distracted her for a moment.
"Eida!" Blade yelled. She was able to block just in time for her to defend herself. The four of them went into battle. The chainsaws roared as the metal of the axe and rusty looking scythe clanked dangerously. Much to their dismay, the girl was too quick for them to get a hit on her. Her eerie giggle echoed in the silence of the night, making everything that much more frustrating.
"She's too fast; I can't get a hit on her!" Eida yelled in frustration. All she could really was block the attacks. Every so often, she could see the glint of light. It wasn't normal light, it was reflecting off of something, but Eida couldn't see what.
Kenji tried to sneak up behind her, but it didn't work as well as he'd hoped. One well placed swing and blood began leaking from his chest. Renji ran over to make sure his brother was ok. While Eida continued to fight.
"Alright, that's it. We end this now," Eida said. Her entire body began to glow, as well as the axe in her hand. "You ready Blade?"
"Yeah," he answered, "Let's go! Soul Resonance!"
The moment their souls linked to each other, their power grew stronger. Blade became two sizes bigger than he was before. Eida swung him around, aiming for the girl who was only narrowly dodging her attacks this time.
Renji came up behind her and struck her in the shoulder unexpectedly. Her would was deep, but she didn't drop her weapon.
"We got her!" Eida exclaimed as she swung the axe. Just before it hit, the axe stopped in mid air, merely two inches from the girl's face.
"What the hell…" Eida put all her force into the attack, but the blade wouldn't budge. "It's stuck?" In an attempt to momentarily retreat, she realized that Blade was caught up in what seemed to be very fine, nearly invisible string.
"I'll be back for you," the girl said, grabbing her shoulder. The expression on her face seemed like a sad one. It was the expression of a little girl who had just been hurt, but was trying not to cry. She ran off in the other direction. She was so fast; it was almost as though she'd just disappeared.
Blade changed back into a human and was still tangled in strings.
"What the hell is all this? Where'd all these strings come from?"
"I don't know," Renji answered as he and Eida helped Blade get untangled, "but Yumi and Kenji were caught in them too. That's how she was able to get a hit on him." Eida looked off in the direction that the girl had run off in. In that one moment, Eida had been defenseless, immobile. Why hadn't the girl attacker her then?
"Is Kenji alright?" Eida asked. Renji nodded, pointing to his brother who was being helped to stand by his partner. It wasn't as deep as he thought; he was just caught off guard. There was something about that girl's scythe. It was old and kind of rusty looking, yet it was able to stand against two chainsaws and an axe with no problem," Renji mentioned.
"Well if she's on her way to becoming a kishin, she's probably a lot stronger than a normal human, isn't she?" Blade inquired.
"Yeah, but she wouldn't need a weapon. She would be a weapon if that were the case. And that slice to the shoulder should've killed her, but it didn't."
Kenji and Yumi made their way over to the rest of the group.
"I knew we shouldn't have some here," Yumi said. Yuki nodded her head in agreement.
Blade and Eida looked at each other. They could tell, by the look in each other's eyes, that they were thinking the same things. They were sorry for getting the four of them involved.
"We've gotta complete this mission before we go back. Otherwise everything's confiscated," Blade whispered to her. He looked off in the direction that the girl went and asked, "Should we go looking for her?" Eida shook her head.
Ok, so it's a bit obvious that I'm no good at writing out fighting scenes. I never really have been, but I thought I'd give it a try. It took me forever to write this! I changed the content of the chapter like 5 times before I came up with something that I thought was somewhat suitable. I think I've got an idea for the next chapter already. Hopefully, that means you won't have to wait so long between chapters anymore. Review please, it only takes a moment. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, just don't be rude. Thanks
