Akira awoke with a slight start to see Liz above her shaking her shoulder trying to wake her up.

"What's happening?" Akira's voice was slurred slightly from sleepily as she looked around in a daze and falling back into the pillows not noting any signs of danger.

"It's time for school sleepyhead." Liz spoke looking slightly amused and Akira looked past her after hearing Patty run past chanting joyfully "Sleepyhead! Sleepyhead! Sleepyhead!"

"Why is she..." Akira trailed off as Liz rolled her eyes and yanked her arm harder to get her up and said "No time for questions if you want breakfast."

"Sleep is worth more." Akira said with a grin now more awake after seeing Patty's relentless energy. Liz rolled her eyes again and pulled off the covers unsympathetically. "Ok. Ok. You get what you want. I'm up." Akira spoke with a wave of her arms. She went to her dresser and pulled out a skirt and school type top muttering darkly about losing the warmth of her blankets while Liz walked out the door and down the stairs at the end of the hall. She eventually descended the stairs and out the door deciding to skip breakfast.

"Took you long enough." Kid said when she stepped outside. Akira just gave a noncommittal shrug and sighed deciding there was no need for words. Kid summoned Beelzebub and offered her a hand.

"Hold on just a second there." Liz spoke up "We don't ever ride with you to school. We have to walk."

"You're used to walking" Kid snapped as Akira glanced back and forth between the two of them nervously. Liz just hurrumphed and Patty laughed hysterically at her sisters expression and Kid turned back to Akira.

"I'll just walk with Liz and Patty today." Akira glanced back at them as she said this and was pleased to see Liz looked more cheerful. Kid snorted and just rolled Beelzebub away and left their sight fairly quickly. "So he always leaves you two to walk?" Akira asked.

"Sometimes he carries us in weapon form and sometimes we walk, but it's ok because he always waits for us at the stairs." Liz stated while Patty gave an innocent look to nowhere in particular.

"Oh. That's cool, I guess" Akira said quietly and as they walked down the street. It only took them about 10 minutes to walk to the school and Kid was waiting for them glaring with his golden eyes. When they caught up he began to ascend the stairs and Liz and Patty followed on either side. 'Why either side? Is that natural for them? I bet it's the symmetry thing again.' Akira thought as she followed the three of them.

"Oh, hey Kid." a cheerful voice sounded across the courtyard (A/N is that what they call it?) "Who's this?"

"Hey Maka." Kid replied and then was interrupted by Akira saying "Hello I'm Akira."

Kid glared at her with narrowed eyes as she shook Maka's hand.

"YAHOO! A NEW PERSON ENROLLED! WE'LL DESTORY THEM TSUBAKI THEN I WILL SURPASS GOD!" yelled a voice from inside coming closer as a more soothing and calm voice spoke quickly "But Blackstar you don't even know them I don't really think you should..."

"I WILL BE THE ONE TO SURPASS GOD AND THIS NEW PERSON WILL KNOW THIS!" The voice came closer and a boy with spikey blue hair shot out of the door heading straight for Akira. She shrieked and flinched back, but Kid was already yelling at him.

"You idiot! She doesn't even know to fight!" Kid snapped after pushing him back with a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm really sorry about Blackstar, he can be a little fight crazy." said the calm voice coming out of the door after her miester. She was tall and her black hair in a ponytail with her bangs out. "I'm Tsubaki by the way." she said with an apologetic smile.

"That's not cool Blackstar, cut it out." Said yet another new voice. He had wait hair and was wearing a headband, he had walked over stand by Maka.

"Who are you?" Akira questioned him.

He gave a shark toothed grin and spoke "I'm Soul and that pink haired freak with the black creature sticking out of his back is Chrona and Ragnorak."

"He has two names?" Akira asked staring at Chrona.

"I'm Ragnorak!" the black thing said angrily and then began punching Chrona saying "This is Chrona and only I can hit him, so don't even think about it!" Akira kept staring at them in shock until Soul interrupted with "Staring at people isn't cool."

"Sorry." Akira said and looked back towards where Kid had been and realized he had already gone in and it was just her, Maka, Soul, And Chrona.

"Want us to show you where to go?" Maka offered with a friendly smile.

"No thanks. I need to see Lord Death first about what class I'm in" Akira returned her smile after speaking and headed in. She walked through all the halls until she found the one she was looking for. She walked down it until she reached the door and slowly began to open until she heard Lady Life's voice. 'What is she doing here? Is she going to say hi to me?' Akira wondered.

"Did you know that her father is supposed to die in the next couple of weeks?" Lady Life said to Lord Death.

Lord Death cheerfully said, "I don't really pay attention to who dies until I have to reap their soul." Lady Life shook her head at him in exasperation.

"You don't know what this means do you?" She said with a sigh.

"Means?" Lord Death said ever cheerful "Why should it mean anything?"

"Can you imagine what Akira would do if she found out?" Lady spoke sounding more annoyed now "She would probably try to save him."

"So don't tell her." Lord Death said still happy "She already knows that since she died she can't see anyway she used to know."

Akira had heard enough. She breathed slowly to calm herself, shut the door as quietly as she could and backed away from the door not making a sound until she reached the end of the long hall. She let her frustration take control and sprinted away as fast as she could. With a gasp she swerved to avoid hitting Blackstar who started yelling crazy things at her, but ignored it and kept running until she was outside of the school and down onto some strange street. 'My father is supposed to die and they don't tell me She thought angrily I have to find a way warn him! They'll know if I send him a letter or call.' She kicked a random trash can in despair and anger. When a cat hissed and bolted away Akira immediately felt sorry. She knew she shouldn't take her anger out on random things and animals. She looked around and realized she was lost. Akira decided just to wander around town until she cooled down. She eventually sat down on a bench and after a few minutes started closing her eyes and was asleep not long after.

Akira woke up to find the sun setting and stretched. She hadn't meant to fall asleep and for such a long time too. She would still need to think of some way to find her father. She asked a local coffee shop worker where Gallows Manor was and found it after about an hour when it was almost completely dark. She walked up the door and opened it quietly.

"Kir Kir is home!" Patty squealed happily. "We started to worry about you. You've been gone awhile." Liz said as she walked by into the living room.

Akira couldn't think of anything to say except question Patty with "Kir Kir?"

"My new nickname for youuuuu" Patty said then rushed upstairs muttering something about feeding a giraffe.

"Where were you?" Kid's calm voice said as he came out of living room having apparently just been told by Liz she was back.

"I was um..." Akira thought quickly "overwhelmed with everything that has happened."

Kid gave her a disbelieving glare, but said nothing other than "I have a mission tomorrow, so you're on your own." and then walked out of the room.

Akira ran up to her room as soon he left and grinned inwardly. 'I can sneank away and save my father tomorrow!'
