My life is but a mere fraction of the millions out there. Would it matter if I died?
What a stupid thought. Sakura sighed. Of course it wouldn't.
Chapter 3: Wavelength.
"Why is it so hard to find a decent partner?" Sakura outwardly complained. "All the people that come to me are either weird or jerks."
"Maybe you could try hunting for one?" Maka pointed out, but Sakura sighed.
"Yeah, but I don't really know anyone." Sakura pouted. They continued to walk in the hallways even though class was over. It was the perfect opportunity to find a partner for Sakura. Suddenly Maka's head perked up.
"Oh yeah!" Maka exclaimed shocking Sakura and everyone in that hallway. "Why don't you try testing out some partners?" Sakura's interest was now skyrocketing. Grabbing Maka on the shoulders, Sakura couldn't say much, but smile widely.
"Yes! Why didn't we think of this earlier?" Sakura happily said, as she released Maka from her grip. But Sakura smile soon died down into a frown as she thought. "But who are we going to ask?"
At this, it was Maka's turn to smile. "Well you can always do a test run with some of our friends! But you'd have to have a Wavelength connection with them." Maka mumbled. "I guess that won't do…" Maka Sighed and Sakura blinked.
"A Wavelength?" Sakura asked and Maka turned to look at her. "What's that?"
"Oh, yeah. You never learned about that yet!" Maka said, and Sakura looked at her blankly. "Meisters and weapons are paired with each, and must be skilled at channeling the wavelengths of their souls, constantly training with each other to synchronize the wavelengths of their souls to effectively battle against witches and evil humans."
"So it's like chakra control…" Sakura whispered to herself.
"Did you say something, Sakura?" Maka asked and Sakura shook her head.
"N-No! Nothing at all!" Sakura stuttered.
"Well, let's see if you could synchronize wavelengths with our friends." Maka said, while pulling Sakura along. "First Soul because I know exactly where he is." Sakura's eyes widened.
"Oh aha, I saw Kid just a minute ago while we were walking! I think we should go to him first!" Sakura reasoned as she dragged Maka away.
"Eh…?" Maka questioned as she let herself be dragged away.
Somewhere in the Impossibly Big School.
"You want me to help you?" Kid asked while fixing his perfectly symmetric clothes.
"Yes." Sakura said, while trying to avoid Maka's questioning stare. "I don't really know what this 'wavelength' thing is all about. I won't know until I try!"
"Sure, but… What do you want to be?" Kid asked while finally releasing his clothes. "A weapon or a meister?"
"I'm not really sure," Sakura grumbled. "I'm leaning towards a Meister, but…"
"Then I can't really help you." Kid said simply. "I can't turn into a weapon."
"Okay, then I'll try becoming a weapon!" Sakura reasoned.
"Okay, let's try it in the yard." Kid said, while gesturing to the hallway in front of them.
"Thanks Kid!" Sakura exclaimed as she ran up to walk besides Kid. Maka stood behind them.
While Maka continued to study Sakura's strange motives, she didn't sense the strange soul following them.
"Okay, try to picture a weapon in your mind." Kid instructed and Sakura did that.
Naginata? Too long.
Shuriken? Too small.
An Original Scythe? Over used…
Katana? I'll try picturing that…
Suddenly a bright flash engulfed Sakura's whole body. W-What's happening to me? Sakura's body slowly started to disintegrate and reform as she thought harder about the Katana.
"Ugh… What was with that?" Sakura groaned as she tried to pull herself up. "Eh Eh Eh, Where's my arms and legs?" Sakura screamed as she struggled on the ground.
"Wow, you got it on your first try! But… Did you want to become Traditional Chinese Axes?" Maka asked.
"No! I wanted to become a Katana! Not damn Shuāng rèn fǔ!" Sakura yelled, but it slowly died down. "Well the thought did come to mind when transforming…"
"Oh, you shouldn't have thought about anything other than what you wanted." Kid exclaimed, and then started to giggle like a little kid. "My gosh, Your perfectly Symmetrical!" Kid ran over to Sakura to try and pick her up. "Let's see if our wavelengths match!"
When Sakura got prepared to be picked up, she suddenly felt a sharp immense pain.
"Kid, What's going on?" Sakura struggled not to scream. "It's hurts so much…"
Sakura suddenly returned back to her normal form as she fell to the ground. Kid merely sighed.
"Our wavelengths don't match. Sorry." Kid mumbled as he went to sulk in a corner. "Perfect symmetry… why won't it like me…?"
Pulling herself up from the ground she walked over to Maka. "I didn't think that mismatching a wavelength hurt like that." Sakura grumbled.
"I think you were thinking too hard," Maka explained. "Don't channel your wavelength too much."
"Now you tell me." Sakura said as she rolled her eyes. "This 'wavelength' thing is confusing."
"Well I'm surprised you even understand the concept. It usually takes people a few years." Maka congratulated, but Sakura didn't even smile.
Even here I'm useless… Sakura thought negatively. "Well Maka, I'm going to calm myself down for a bit."
"Ah, Okay." Maka barley even got to say as Sakura ran away.
I know it isn't my fault it never worked but it still makes me feel worthless. Sakura sighed. She didn't care where she went. She just needed to cool off. You see, Sakura was the weakest in team seven, and probably between all the genin. Training her arse off for 2 years for nothing, there wouldn't be any use for her medical skills anymore.
Walking absentmindedly towards an empty hallway, she heard a piano. Sakura looked around and eventually her view landed upon a sign.
The music hallway? Sakura thought to herself. Wasn't this a military school? They have music her too? Sakura looked around for the source of the piano playing. Night and Day by Cole Porter! Sakura thought. Sneaking a peek at one of the rooms she saw Soul play elegantly.
"Wow…" Sakura mumbled, "He's that good at the piano…?" Slumping down the door to sit down, she listened. The gentle way he presses the notes, as if he was in his own world. Sakura hummed along as Soul continued to play, without a flaw. Her eyes started to close.
I knew it… Soul is actually a very gentle person…
"HEY!" Someone yelled, and Sakura's eyes burst open. There was Soul, a foot away from her face. Sakura's face blushed furiously. "How long do you intend to stay here?" Soul grumbled as he got to his feet. "It's already 8:30pm."
"Oh…" Sakura sighed. "I never knew you played the piano." Sakura smiled as Soul lifted her up on her feet. "It was so gentle."
"…I don't like to talk about it much." Soul said, and Sakura stood confused.
"A personal subject, eh." Sakura sighed, as they walked down the hallway. "Okay, I'll respect that."
"That's cool." Soul replied. When they reached the school's front doors Sakura stared at the moon.
"Hey Soul, Why is the moon bleeding?" Sakura asked looking directly at the messed up moon. "That thing is hideous, bleh."
"Heh, I dunno." Soul chuckled, and Sakura looked at him.
"You should smile more often, it suites you more." Sakura whispered as she started to walk down the long flight of stairs, alongside Soul.
"Stupid, I'm just cool like that. Smiling is BlackStar's thing." Soul smirked, and Sakura laughed.
"Hah, I agree!" Sakura replied as she continued to laugh. Soul only smiled. As Sakura's laughing died down she remembered about the wavelength business.
"Hey Soul, you mind doing me a favour?" Sakura hummed and Soul backed away slightly.
"What do you want?" Soul asked cautiously.
"Be my meister for this evening." Sakura said simply as she closed her eyes. When she reopened them, she looked straight at Soul. "Please?"
Soul looked away. He was never a 'bonding' kind of person, but…What harm could it do? "Sure what kind of weapon are you?" Sakura's eyes squinted.
"Shuāng rèn fǔ." Sakura said with an un-amused face. Soul struggled not to laugh.
"What in god's name is that?" Soul burst out laughing, and Sakura continued to look un-amused. "That sounds like some Chinese noodle dish!"
"Shut-up!" Sakura yelled as a faint blush dusted her cheeks. "I never wanted it anyway!"
"Hahahah…Well I guess that really sucks, but I don't even know what it looks like." Soul replied as he calmed down. "Let's see."
Sakura stared at him for a moment. His eye's started to show true determination. If he were a ninja, he wouldn't ever lose that will of fire.
"Alright Soul, get ready." Sakura reminded as she prepared herself. Soon the same process that happened before, repeated itself. I guess its normal then. Sakura thought. Soon she was the double axe again.
"Sweeeet~," Soul whistled. "This isn't all that bad. Now let's see if our wavelengths match!" He said, as he bent down to pick Sakura up.
There wasn't any pain this time. In fact, it felt pretty good. This strange feeling, it was l like energy was rushing in her.
"D-Do our wavelengths match…?" Sakura whispered, and Soul nodded. "I see…"
"Almost a little too good." Soul Acknowledged, as Sakura began to close her eyes. For some odd reason it made her sleepy.
Souls constant yells to wake up soon became sweet nothings in her ears, as she slowly lost consciousness.
Soul…Why won't you become my partner?
Done! I'm sorry this chapters short yet again, and I'm sorry MakaXSoul fans! The couple has been decided! SoulXSakura! Yay! Since there aren't any stories like this, I thought it would be nice for a change. I also wondering… Is this cheesy? I wanted to update as soon as possible, because I have homework tomorrow and 3 exams next week. *Sigh* Oh yeah, I'm still debating on a partner because if I make Sakura with Soul, I won't know how to deal with Maka! I'm like Crona lol.
I have planned out the story line already so, it's no longer humbag. I guess there isn't much to tell you except…
REVIEW OR ELSE I WILL END THIS! thank you!
