"…"

Shinigami mentally zoned out but then snapped back to reality. "Heya Deathsycthe…" He awkwardly greeted. "Could you do me a flavor and go get Kid's chair~?"

Spirit just stared.

"Spirit?"

The redhead blinked and shook his head as if he had been sleeping with his eyes open. "Oh! Yes, right away sir!" And with that he dashed off. Shinigami stood there, holding Eibon for about three minutes or so until Spirit returned with the large, yellow chair. It may have not weighed as much as it seemed but it was hard to see where you where going. He placed it on the platform while the reaper lowered Eibon into it.

"Thanks Spirit." Shinigami smiled.

"No problem." The weapon replied. "So, that's really Eibon?" Shinigami turned to him. "Yep! The one and only~!"

"Okay then…"

Shinigami picked up on Spirit's thoughts. "You're probably wondering why you found me holding Eibon. Who, at the time that you walked in, was unconscious. And how did he got here in the first place."

"That's pretty much it…" Spirit trailed off. Shinigami explained in a nutshell how the wizard's soul had been trying to contact him for weeks and how he came to come across an old spell book that ended up restoring Eibon back to his full glory, but of course, minus the 'emotional incident' that taken place.

Spirit was in a 'thinking stance' with arm holding the elbow while his chin rested in a hand. "I guess I get it all…"

Shinigami looked satisfied with his reply and remembered his mask so he just put it back on. "Good, now it's important that you do not tell ANYONE about it yet." he went on, "I just need to figure things out a bit before I can let others know about his revival." He looked over at the wizard, who was still out cold. "For starters," his gaze didn't leave Eibon. "What do I say to him once he wakes?"

Just as the reaper finished that sentence, the wizard stirred from his drowsy state and slowly opened his hazel eyes. He blinked a few times before looking around, noticing that he was appeared to him to be very similar to a throne. Eibon begun to feel a bit embarrassed for fainting on Death like that earlier but he decided that he shouldn't mention it until the redheaded male was out of the room.

"Good morning sleepyhead~!" a cheery voice called.

"Death?"

"It's good to see you too!"

Eibon sighed and shifted so that he was no longer slouching in the chair. "Please forgive me for burdening you with all of the nightmares and well.." he trailed off, a tiny blush forming on his face "fainting on you earlier."

"Nonsense! Eibon you're my friend~!" Shinigami reassured. "Yes, you may have done some bad things but that's all in the past. I'm just grateful for having my old pal coming back!"

Eibon just sat there. Since when Death become so…so cheery and welcoming? Not that Eibon was complaining or anything but, it was just new to him. He has known Death for a long time and back when he was a part of Death's personal guard, this was a side of he would have never seen of the reaper.

Shinigami's kid-friendly voice snapped him from his thoughts. "In fact, I was wondering if you would like to be a teacher here. You see, we're in a school that I built in order to maintain peace. However, I cannot leave this city. My soul is bound to it."

"Because of Ashura?"

"Yes."

"And you are offering me a teaching job here?"

"Yes." Shinigami replied smoothly "You were and still are the most intelligent person I have ever met and it really would be a shame if you didn't share some of that knowledge with my students! Perhaps you could teach a History class or even a Science class. Which ever one you want to! Granted you do choose to accept my offer, that is."

Eibon paused to think for a moment before replying. "….I have never had such a great opportunity such as this. Death-sama, I gratefully accept your offer."

"Excellent~! Now then, down to business. What subject would you like? Math? Science? Literature? History?"

"I believe that history would be best for me, considering that I would be a primary source to the creation of demon weapons." Eibon stated boldly. "and, I'm guessing that science has advanced dramatically since my last study."

"It has indeed, I'm sure that you will be a great addition to the DWMA staff! Oh and by the way, I'd like you to meet someone." Shinigami turned to the sycthe. "This is Spirit Albarn, my current weapon."

Eibon lifted himself out of the chair and approached Spirit who already offered his hand. The wizard gave one firm shake, "It's a pleasure to meet a friend of Death-sama's."

Spirit gave a friendly smile "Nice to meet you too." and then let go of the other's hand.

"So you're a scythe if I am not mistaken."

"Yes I am-WAIT HOW DID YOU KNOW THA-?"

"Because, I am one too and I figured out how to use even the faintest of soul wavelengths to know of other demon weapons."

"That's pretty amazing!"

"It's not really.." Eibon trailed off. "So, Death-sama?" Shingami turned to him. "I forgot to mention, there's no need for you to be so formal anymore around me! You could just call me Shinigami mkay~?"

Eibon nodded, "Of course De-I mean Shinigami. When may I start working here?"

"Whenever you want to, but you'll need somewhere to stay…"

"What about where Crona stayed when he first came?" Spirit suggested. Shinigami wanted to chop him but resisted the urge to do so. "No" he said calmly. "That place is for prisoners."

"Oh yeah…" the weapon trailed off rather absentmindedly. "Sorry sir."

"Hmmm~…where could he stay…" Shinigami snapped his foam fingers. "Eibon, you can stay at Gallows Mansion, it's really my son's home now but I'm sure that he'll let you have the guest room~!"

AU- Sorry it took so long to post this and for how short it is but I'm actually still collecting my ideas that I have for this story! I hope that you guys like it so far. I'm working on the next chapter in my notebook whenever I can so I'll have the next chapter up soon!
