Chapter 3~

After a good night's sleep I was up and ready to go. There was only one problem. I had nothing to wear.

"Laaaanieeeee! Goodmorning!" Patty yelled from across the room.

"Goodmorning Patty, and Liz," I responded.

"We thought you might need some new clothes, so I brought you some clothes to pick from," said Liz.

"Ah, thanks guys. I really appreciate it, but, I got this," I said with a grin. I closed my eyes and snapped my fingers and a new outfit appeared on my body.

"Cute outfit!" said Patty. Just as we were talking, Kid walked in the room.

"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO KNOCK?! ONE OF US COULD'VE BEEN NAKED DAMMIT!" yelled Liz.

"Well, being that it's 5 minutes till we have to leave, I figured you all would have been dressed. Now, come along, Liz, Patty, Lanie. Off to the academy for school," Kid told us. I followed him out of the house. I was slightly nervous, of course, who wouldn't be? But I can't let fear get to me. Nothing good comes from it. Oh yeah, I have to see Soul again today too. He seems… Flirty of course. Wonder how he'll act today? Hmmm, my curiosity is really getting to me now. I wonder what this school is like. Is it a tough grading system? Are the people nice? Hmmm.

"Most of the people are nice," Kid said to me.

"How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked.

"I can read you," he replied.

"Read me? Can all reapers do that?" I asked.

"Uhhh… yeah sure," Kid said with a stutter.

"Something wrong?" I asked him. I looked over at Liz and Patty, who had huge grins on their faces. They looked at me then quickly looked away. Weird.

"No, not at all, haha. Oh look we're here!" Kid said pointing at a building.

"Okay then, and I must say, it's a beautiful building," I said gazing upon the building. We started walking in, and I heard a faint yelling. I looked up. It looked like a monkey. Here? No, couldn't be. I looked over at Kid.

"Uggghhhh BLACKSTAR YOU IDIOT SHUT UP!" he yelled while stomping his foot. "That's BlackStar. He's totally self-centered, and loves to be the center of attention. But he has his good sides of course," he turned to BlackStar, who was standing right next to me now. Crazy. His weapon turned into her normal form. BlackStar got all up in my face.

"Who is this Kid?" he asked. I felt a little awkward with this muscle guy in my face like that.

"That's Lanie. She's getting enrolled today. She's an angel weapon," he replied to BlackStar.

"An angel weapon huh? You strong? Come on let's fight!" he said while drooling. He did a backflip and made his weapon change back. "Since you're a girl, I won't use my weapon. Deal new girl?" he asked.

"BlackSta-" Kid started. I looked at Kid.

"I got this," I said while making bow and arrow appear in my hands. Kid, Patty, and Liz all took a step back.

"Ready new girl?" BlackStar asked with a smirk.

"Of course," I nodded. "Fire Arrow!" A fiery arrow appeared and I pulled it back in the bow, following every move of the opponent. "Target spotted! Time freeze!" When I use time freeze, time obviously freezes. But only for 5 seconds with my current angel level. The higher level I am, the longer the time freeze. I released the arrow, and it pierced into the boy's skin, releasing many flames on his body. The 5 seconds were up.

"OWWWWWW THAT BURRNNNS!" BlackStar yelled while running around. I flew at him and hit him with my wing, crushing him into the ground. He was knocked out. "Okay… you win new girl.." he said with a grin. His weapon changed to human form. She turned to me.

"I'm sorry if he's caused any trouble! He can be hard to handle. I'm Tsubaki. You're Lanie?" the girl said sweetly.

"I'm okay and yes! Nice to meet you!" I replied.

"Guys, we have to get going, I have to go talk to Father about something. Lanie, come with me," he said turning to me. We all walked inside. He took us to a room that said Death Room. We walked in, and I saw the Grim Reaper.

"Hello! Hello! Son! Uh, who is this?" he said pointing to me.

"This is Lanie, an angel weapon," Kid said. I waved.

"A cutie! And an angel weapon? Angels are never seen around here! Angel weapon on top of that? Extremely rare indeed! Must be very powerful! Have you showed her to Stein yet?" he asked.

"No, but I want to. I'm a little worried though, I don't want him to freak her out and say he wants to dissect her and experiment on her. So could you call him in here with us so you're here?" Kid explained.

"Ahh, good reasons. Of course I can!" Lord Death turned around and called Stein into the Death Room. He turned back around. "Stein is on his way!"

Ah, good. Lanie, this is my father, if you haven't already caught on," Kid told me. Then a man walked in. He was wearing a lab coat and looked like he had a screw thing in his head.

"You called? Oh. Who is this?" he asked staring at me.

"This is Lanie. Kid tells me she's an angel weapon," Lord Death explained.

"What?! Incredible! Powerful! Oh what I would do to dissect that!" he exclaimed with a creepy glare.

"Now Stein, she's my friend, you can't do that," Kid told him. Friend. I'm Kid's friend. For some reason, I liked the sound of that. "I have a serious question for you, Stein."

"Yeah? What is it?" Stein asked.

"Would it be at all possible for me to have another weapon?" he asked. Everyone's face was speechless.

"Kid! You're perfect symmetry?" Liz asked.

"I know Liz. But a bow and arrow would be an interesting weapon. And an angel one on top of that," Kid explained.

"Yes, it's possible. Just need practice, "Stein replied.

"Father, would it be okay for me to take Lanie as another weapon?" Kid asked seriously. We all looked at him, stunned. What about perfect symmetry? Liz and Patty's eyes were huge, filled with fear. My eyes, no my entire body was filled with utter happiness. I don't know why I was so incredibly happy about it, I just was.

"Hmmm…. I don't see why not," Lord Death replied.

"Okay," Kid said turning to us weapons. "Liz, Patty, I'm giving you guys a vacation."

"Whaaaaa?" the girls asked.

"Now Kid this won't be easy, it will take work and time," Stein explained.

"I understand. I think it will pay off though," Kid replied looking at me.

"Well, my son has a new weapon! How exciting! Kid, I would like to see you two fight together soon, okay?" Lord Death asked.

"Okay father. Girls, we better get going to class now," Kid said looking at us and beginning to walk away. We followed him.

I sat down in my seat next to Kid and an empty seat next to me. Hmmmm.. I wonder where that Soul guy is? I began to wonder.

"Something wrong?" Kid asked looking concerned. I looked over at him. He had such beautiful golden eyes. Whoa, wait what am I thinking right now?

"No, nothing! Haha!" I said with a smile.

"Good. You know, I'm thrilled to begin working with you. I think it will be a lot of fun actually," Kid said as I gazed into those golden eyes. I smiled.

"Really? Me too!" I replied. Just as I was talking, Soul sat down next to me. I looked over at him.

"Hey, see told you I'd sit next to you," Soul said with a grin. I giggled.

"Hah, hey. A little late don't you think?" I asked.

"Eh oh well, I never pay attention anyways. Pretty boring. I learn from doing not by listening," he explained.

We sat through the class barely paying attention at all, and getting to know each other. Soul had such piercing red eyes and that chill personality. I put my head down and thought for a moment. Everything's so different now that I'm here. It's only been the second day, but I like it. Just as I was thinking to myself, Soul looked at me. I could just feel it. I looked at him.

"Hey, I uh, have a question," he whispered.

"Yeah?" I asked curiously.

"Do you wanna, uh, go on a date Saturday?" he asked with his cheeks blushing. Wait, what did he just ask me? A date? Date? As in romantic evening with candles and flowers? Or maybe even a movie date? DATE? I looked at him with my face turning a light shade of pink.

"Umm… sure," I whispered. I couldn't really process this at the moment. I was caught off guard by this, and still surprised. Class was dismissed now. I stood up.

"So, I'll get you at 7?" Soul asked. Kid heard. He looked over with a face of slight disappointment. He slowly walked to the door and waited.

"Yeah, that sounds good," I responded.

"Okay, see you then," he said with a grin. I walked over to Kid. I had a strange feeling that I did something wrong just now. I don't know why… It's just, there.

"So… You're going on a date with Soul?" Kid asked me.

"Yeah…" I said quietly looking forward. He looked at me.

"You seem a little off about it, you okay?" Kid asked me. I looked at him. Everytime I look at him, those eyes just get me. They're beautiful.

"I don't know… He seems kinda like the player type," I said to him. He stopped.

"Well, since I care about you, I'll give you the truth and my honest opinion. He is kind of a player actually. And if you don't want to get hurt, I think you should just walk your way around this, I know you can do it," he explained. He cares about me… Those words gave me a great feeling. Why though? A question for myself to figure out.

"So, call off the date?" I asked.

"You don't have to. That would seem a little rude. Just go on the date, then after that, just try to remain friends. Just trust me on this one. I don't want to see you get hurt from something like this," he told me. I looked at him.

"Thank you Kid, it means a lot. Really," I looked at him and told him. He smiled at me and nodded. I looked over at the door, where Liz and Patty were standing. They both had a huge grin on their face. We walked out the door and started on our way home. All I could think of was this date and the things Kid said to me, and why they gave me such a good feeling that I've never felt before. Answers, I want answers on this.
