Alexis
Chapter 3,
"…How…"
"…Incredibly…"
"…Lame..."
The three of us say one after the other as we stare at that…. Thing? Person? I don't actually even what it is, but it looked rather… well disturbing. First of all, it wasn't wearing pant, just a white dress shirt and a rather tall top hat that were both white; he also carried around a quite old fashioned cane, and well it looked kinda like a mutated sorta elf with a very long nose but no mouth…
"You're the holy sword?" Black*Star asks in disgust.
"… In the top hat? Seriously?" Black*Star groans as Kid and I snigger at his reaction.
"You're one to talk in that funny outfit, who are you exactly?" The thing asks pointing its cane at Black*Star.
"Who am I?! I am Black*Star the great-"
"My Legend dates back the 12th century, thank you very much," It says. Who asked anyway? "From the looks of you, you seem to be meisters, where are you children from?" It juts its cane towards me making me frown slightly, I don't like to be pointed at….
"Who do you think you are pointing that thing at me, Put it down!" I growl under my breath smacking it out of my face.
"We're from Death Weapon Mei-"
"I know that." It states, why'd you ask in the freaking first place! "Here I need to show you something."
"Why'd you ask if you already knew the answer, what's with this guy! And why the hell isn't he wearing any pants!" Black*Star exclaims, Kid seemed to be the only one who was actually calm for once. Either way, the thing walked a few meters away from us and then turned back.
"What's he showing us… I wonder…" Kid murmured under his breath making me jolt up slightly, I hadn't notice that Kid had been right behind the whole time, my cheeks get a little hot as I turn away from him.
"Young ones! Do you want to hear the legend of me?" It gloated jutting its cane towards us almost smacking Black*Star.
"Put that thing away!" Black*Star scoffed.
"Do you want to hear a heroic tale?"
"Get that thing out of my face." Black*Star snarled through gritted teeth.
"Where have you travelled here from?"
"We already told yo-"
"What is your favorite number between 1 and 12?"
"What? Between 1 and 12?" Black*Star asks wacking the cane away. "One obviously 'cause I refuse to back down before I'm number one!"
"And mine is eight because of its perfect symmetry." Kid answers automatically, who would've guessed it was eight…
"Uh... Mines four cause… It's cool?" I say not really having an explanation like Kid and Black*Star.
"FOOLS! What right do you have to choose a number! My Legend dates back to the 12th century you know." It exclaims aiming its freaking cane at us once again, okay this guy is getting on my last nerve…
"You asked us to pick a number so we did!" I snap, the thing aims its cane at me once again making me lose my balance and fall on my ass. . .You.
"Do you want to hear my legend or not?" It asks.
"As a matter of fact, no I don't. I never wanted to come here in the first place dammit. AND WOULD YOU QUIT WITH THE CANE ALREADY! I WILL SNAP IT IN HALF THE NEXT TIME YOU POINT IT AT ME! You know what! I'll just wait outside, see ya!" I shout as I stomp away, leaving the boys and the thing staring at me.
"'Holy Sword' my ass I'm outta here."
I huff to myself as I sit at the edge of the cliff waiting for the two numb-skulls to get the hell out here. How the can anyone even stand that thing! I swear if Black*Star or Kid come walking out with that thing I will murder them on the spot!
I slowly let myself calm down before I really did kill someone.
Speaking of partners, I still don't have one… I frown slightly at the thought of it, I'd already been here for almost two weeks, Maka had told me that I better find a partner soon or the school'd find one for me…
I didn't often tend to get close to a lot of people and all the meisters that I really knew (which were only Maka, Black*Star and Kid really) already had weapon partners. Well I also had an option of if I wanted to be a Weapon/Meister, but to be honest, it doesn't really sound all too appealing. But at the same time, I don't really know what I want. Well I do want a partner but I don't wanna get stuck someone I don't even know. Sigh, I kinda wished Maka didn't have a weapon… I know it sounds selfish but I'm just being honest, but even if Maka and I were partners I don't think we'd ever really be such a good pair… Like Soul and she are now…
Only moments afterwards I hear footsteps behind me and dared myself to look if they'd actually been so bovine to actually take that wrenched 'Holy fucking Sword' with them.
And thank god, they hadn't. I almost broke out into a little happy dance but luckily I didn't because then my IQ and my dignity would both probably drop by 30%.
"So, what happened to the 'Holy Sword' then?" I asked, both of them make a very disgusted look as I mention the sword.
"We put it back where it belongs." Black*Star says, well more like gagged.
"In the cave." Kid proclaims in revolt as he summons his flying black skate board.
"Let's get away from this place, it disgusts me." Kid utters and I nod in agreement, he holds out his hand for me and I hesitantly hold on to him.
"Oh thanks just leave the big star behind then!" Black*Star bursts out.
"There's only room for two." Kid states with a straight face.
Black*Star narrows his eyes at Kid then smirks evilly. "Oh I see, does the son of Lord Death have a little crush on Maka's cousin huh?" Black*Star taunts.
I couldn't help but blush, at the corner of my eye I see Kid's cheeks tint a slight pink as he rolls his eyes at Black*Star.
"Black*Star don't be ridiculous and don't jump to conclusions so quickly either." Kid sighs.
"Oh? You scared a big star like me will steal your girl away hu-"
Before Black*Star could say another word Kid and I were already high in the air, the quick movement of the board almost made me lose my balance if Kid hadn't grabbed hold of me.
"Careful now, we don't you falling off now do we?" He asks in a slight sigh, my cheeks flush as I shake my head quickly trembling slightly.
I could feel kinds grip on my waist tighten slightly making me wince accidentally.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you it's just that you'd probab-"
"It's f-fine." I interrupt him burring my face in his shoulder.
Death The Kid
((I KNOW I'M REALLY EXCITED TO FINALLY WRITE A KID CHAP, WELL POV. ANYWAY HOPE IT DOESN'T SUCK! *fingers crossed*))
'Oh I see, does the son of Lord Death have a little crush on Maka's cousin huh?'
Those words rung in my ears as the two of us flew over the tangerine sky of Death City where the sun was just setting. Alexis clung on to me for dear life with her face buried in my shoulder, I guess she really was afraid of height.
Alexis.
I don't know it was about her, but there was something that made me rather… well… How could I put this in words... well I suppose I could say.., attracted to her.
My face flushes as faint shade of red as I bite my bottom lip slightly. Was I really attracted to her? I shake my head slightly, No I'm jumping to conclusions, besides I'm a grim reaper, I'm not supposed to love…
Jumping to conclusions! You're jumping to conclusions again!
I mentally groan at myself, I am not in love, no this most definitely is not love.
"Kid you okay? You feel very hot."
Alexis lifts her head up from my shoulder, I make sure to keep looking straight ahead and not at her.
"Yeah, I'm just feeling a bit hot that's all. Where exactly did you say lived again?" I ask desperately trying to change the subject.
"Oh yeah, uh it's o-only around two blocks a-away from here to y-y-your left." She stutters as she looks down, trembling slightly. As soon as she turns away she buries her face back into my shoulder while wrapping her arms around my torso.
Don't blush, Don't blush , Don't blush , Don't blush , Don't blush dammit!
Sadly even when I tried my cheeks still glowed a slight red.
"Kid, are you sure you okay? You feel very hot, you might have a fever." She says resting the back of her palm against my forehead.
"O-Oh, its probably nothing… I j-just have a slight headache so no worries." I reassure her softly.
"I-I might have some p-pain killers if y-you'd like some…" She says faintly her cheeks glowing a soft pink. Now, that I thought about it that Disgraceful piece of metal had given me a slight headache…
"That'd be great thanks." I say, "Is this the street?"
"O-oh! Yeah, just over there by the corner." She points out and I nod.
I slowly lower my skate board and hop of first.
"Jump, I'll catch you." I tell her, she bites her lip clutching on to the sleeve of my black suit.
"Okay, on the count of three I'll catch you okay? One, two, thr-" Before I could finish she'd already jumped off the skate board, I just about managed to catch her making me lose my balance and fall back.
"Ugh…" I groan as I open my eyes to find Alexis' face very close to mine, too close in fact. Her wavy hair framed her face in a very naturally beautiful way, her breath was hot and it smelled of spearmint, freckles dotted her face in a rather sightly way and her eyes were currently squeezed shut. But only after a moment or two her stormy grey eyes fluttered open making my breath hitch.
"A-Ah! S-Sorry! I didn't m-mean to-"
"I-Its fine, are you alright though?" I ask her slowly as sit up making our foreheads collide by accident.
"Owie!" Alexis hissed rubbing her forehead scowling at me.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to!" I exclaim rubbing my forehead.
Suddenly I heard a click to the left to find Soul standing by the door which was their house.
"What the hell is going on out here?" He yawned tiredly scratching the back of his head.
"Soul! You're back!" Alexis says with glee in her voice as she scrambles to get off me.
"Yeah, the doctor said I'd be fine, after all, cool guys are always fine." He says with a weak grin and Alexis giggles as she cheeks flush a soft red. I couldn't help but frown slightly. Why can't I make her do something like that…?
"Hey Kid, whatcha doin' here?" Soul asks.
"I was dropping off Alexis." I reply dusting myself off as I get up. "I better get going, it's getting dark."
"Hey wait, don't you need the painkillers?" Alexis asks.
"No it's fine I have some at home," I say smoothly. "I'll see you two later." I wave as I jet off with my skateboard, sighing to myself. This can't be love…
The next day I'm walking down the halls of DWMA as I come across to find Black*Star.
The both of reach out to shake each other's hands. "We both've got some fine partners already huh?" Black*Star says.
The girls blink at us in confusion as we are soon joined by Soul moments afterwards. "It looks like the gang in all here then."
"Hey Soul." We all reply in unison.
"So are you all fixed up now? The real party can't get started without you here." Black*Star grins fist bumping Soul.
"Yeah I'm a lot better." Soul replies. At the corner of my eye I see some girls giggling and pointing towards us…
"You hear that Black*Star, I'm starting to get the strange feel that people have been laughing at us." I tell Black*Star.
"Huh?" Black*Star asks bluntly.
"Those two?" "Yeah they're the ones." A group of girls giggle.
"Hey Black*Star, Kid c'mere a second." I hear Maka say poking her head out of our class room.
I frown in confusion as the two of us enter the class to see… a monstrosity of pink…
"Ugh…"
"Is he serious?" Black*Star and I say unison as we stared at the sign that said "I'LL ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR YOU." Both of our faces twisted with disgust as we stared at it.
" .God!" I hear a howl of laughter and see Alexis laughing her head off at the two of us.
Just great, why isn't she there though…?
