Sorry for this chapter being short.
-Shibusen-
'It was like every other day at Shibusen. Everything's fine. I have nothing to worry about.' These were the words that Maka Evans used for comfort. She looked at her students, and eyed one of them in particular, Roxanne. Maka felt a little uneasy at first when she found out that the girl was in her class; however, she put it in her mind that it was okay ,and that she could get through this. After teaching the lesson Maka gave her students time to talk amongst themselves.
"So, is it fun being the grandchild of Shingami-sama?" a fellow pupil asked Roxanne. She nodded.
"Yes, It does have it's perks."
"You must be stronger than the rest of us with your Shinigami powers and all." Another classmate added. The statement made Roxanne think.
"I don't have any Shinigami powers." she replied. The other students look astounded. Roxanne looked down 'Why don't I have Shinigami powers?' She thought. 'Hopefully a trip to the library can answer that question.' The bell rang and every one filtered out. Roxanne staggered slowly. She walked down the hall and saw Death scythe and Professor Stein conversing. 'Maybe Stein can answer my question.' She walked towards them and waited for them to stop talking.
"Yes?" Stein asked impatiently not even turning to look at her. Roxanne laced her fingers together and nervously looked down.
"I-I have a qustion," She said. Stein sighed.
"Why else would you come over here. Unless you want me to dissect you." Roxanne vigorously shook her head.
"N-no that's okay. I was just wondering why ,unlike my father, don't I have shinigami powers?" Stein looked at the girl. He of coarse knew the truth, but he wasn't going to tell her.
"Something like this is possible. So don't worry about it." Roxanne was very unhappy with this answer. She continued walking until she made it to the library.
Roxanne's POV
Stein was no help at all. I'll have to do the research myself. I walked pass several bookshelves to get to the counter where the librarian was at. I rang the bell and waited for assistance.
"Yes? How can I help you?" the male librarian asked.
"I need a book on Shinigamis."
"Hold on," I waited until he returned with a book. "You're lucky someone had just brought it back."
I sat down at an empty table and opened the book. I skimmed a few pages until I found one that had the information I needed. 'It is very rare that a Death God would have a child without any reaper powers. In these cases later on in the child's life around the age of eight their powers start to develop,' I read silently. This didn't make any sense to me. I was twelve years old and in one week I'll be thirteen. I have to ask my grandfather about this. I took the book with me and exited the library. I started walking faster and faster. The next thing I knew I was running, and just to my luck I ran into someone.
"Ow. Don't run in the hall Roxanne." I got off the floor and held my head in pain due to the recent impact.
"Sorry Mr. Eva- I mean Eater." I said almost forgetting that he didn't like when people used his real last name.
"It's okay just be careful next time. Anyway why were you running?" He looked at me with new found curiosity. I nervously smiled.
"You know...just trying to get somewhere quicker, I guess." I said before nervously laughing. Mr. Eater sighed.
"Just don't do it again," He said.
"Thank you sir!" I yelled as I quickly walked away.
I had finally made it to the door leading to the Death Room. I knocked on it then entered after being granted permission. I got this eery feeling as I walked through the hallway of guillotines, but I just shook it off.
"Hi!Hi!Hi!" My grandfather greeted upon seeing me "how's my favorite granddaughter?"
"Don't you mean your only granddaughter?" I asked. He shrugged
"Anyway, what do you need?" I wasn't sure on how to ask my question, but I figured that the direct approach is the best.
"W-well I was in the library and I saw this book and it said that if a child is born without Shinigami powers then they will start developing them by age eight." He looked at me confused.
"Your point is?" He asked.
"I'm twelve and I'm about to turn thirteen." I said. 'Did he really forget my age?' I thought.
"Hmmm...Well...I'm not sure what to tell you." He said. I sighed and looked down.
"Thank you for your time." I muttered before exiting the room.

-Gallows Mansion-
I got back home and went straight up to my room. This book had to have more information. I opened it up and turned to the index. There was a chapter called Shinigami birth that looked interesting. I quickly turned to the chapter in hopes of figuring out this mystery. As I began to read a certain statement caught my attention 'The mother that gives birth to a God of Death will receive death herself. If she survives her body will be extremely damaged inside and out.' After reading this I sighed and laid down. This only added more to the mystery. My mother's body isn't messed up. I'd ask my parents about it ,but I know that they'll only give me indirect answers. This is something that I have to do on my own. I need to see my medical records, and what better timing because the physical examinations are tomorrow. There has to be a filing cabinet or something in Mrs. Nygus's office. While she's examining other students I'll go check in her office.

3rd POV
-The next day- during physical examinations-
"Alright Roxanne, everything seems to be normal and you're very healthy." Nigus said with a big smile on her face.
"That's good to know." Roxanne replied. After that was said there was a knock at the door. Nigus walked over to it and opened it.
"Nigus, Lord Death is requesting us. He knows about the physical examinations and he'll let you come back when he's done." Sid said. Nigus nodded. Then she turned to Roxanne.
"Are you going to be okay by yourself for awhile?" She asked.
"Yes." Nigus smiled and exited the room with Sid.
Roxanne was bored. She just sat there with her eyes on the ground waiting. Her eyes started drifting around the room. She noticed something and stared at it. It was a file cabinet. Not just any file cabinet though. It held information on every student at Shibusen. Just to her luck she didn't have to sneak in Nygus's office. Curiously, Roxanne walked towards the cabinet and opened it. She pulled out her file, and took the pages out. She began reading them, but she immediately stopped, and so did her heart.
Once again sorry for a short chapter.
Please Review.
