This is what happens when I get bored. I update faster than normal. -.-
This inside was bigger than the outside. I feared that if I lost Kid, then I would get lost and wander the hallways of the school by myself. There were no students in the school, it was a sunday afterall, so I expected not to see anyone at all.
After we made our way through a number of hallways, passing by a few classrooms, we finally stopped at a door. "Here we are," Kid said, openeing the door. He held the door open for me. I nodded at him and walked in.
"Thanks," I said, once we were in. I gave him a small smile, which he returned with a small smile of his own. But that smile turned into a frown as we got closer and closer to the platform in the center of the room. Guillotines hung above us, almost like they were threatening to come down and kill us at any moment.
They kind of remeinded me of a Death Scythe I encountered on a mission for Medusa once, I think his name was Justin? Yeah, he was a weird guy, listening to his loud blaring music. The only way he could understand me was by reading my lips, if I covered my mouth, then he would give me confused looks.
He threatened to cut my head off, and he almost accomplished that. I would have died right then and there if I hadn't quickly made a clone using Reflect, one of the butterflies I hexed to copy whatever I wanted her to. She copied me and took my place. When Justin went to cut 'my' head off, he eneded up cutting thin air, for as soon as Reflect is injured, she turns back into a butterfly. By the time Justin figured out that it was a butterfly and not me, I was long gone.
The closer we got to the platform, the more I could feel my soul jump. 'This was a stupid idea,' I thought to myself. 'Why did I think that this would work? Maybe I should have stayed with Chrona and Medusa.' I bite my lip nervously at the thought, but then I shook my head. 'But if I did that, then I would still be under Medusa's control, just like Chrona.'
I sighed, whats done is done, and right now I need to focus on meeting Death. If I messed up, theres a good chance that I would be screwed over, caught, and possibly killed.
"Watch your step," Kid said as he climed up the threes steps with ease. I, on the other hand, was still lost and though and well, kinda tripped over the first step. I would have fallen and hit my head on the third step, if it wasn't for the pair of hands that were wrapped under my torso.
"Whoa, you almost hurt yourself," the voice said. I could automatically tell that it wasn't Kid, nor was it Death, becasue I knew from Medusa that Death's voice was more like a childish tone. This voice was a little rougher, but it had a nice tone to it as well.
"BlackStar, what are you doing here? I thought you stayed back with the others at the cafe?" Kid asked. The pair of arms brought me back to my standing position. I turned my neck and saw a bluehaired kid standing behind me, he smiled to me and walked past, climbing the stairs with ease.
"I got bored, plus I wanted to see if this girl here was better than me." He held a thumb up to his chest and smiled proudly. Man, is his ego big!
I rolled my eyes at him and walked up the stairs to stand next to him, "This girl has a name, and it's Ana."
"Ana. Well then, Ana, once you get your weapon, we'll fight, got it?"
I was in total awe at this big headed egotistic idiot. Even though we had barley known each other for five minutes, he was already calling me out. Smiling, I nodded. "You on, Blackstar." I held out my hand, which he took and we shook on it.
"Well ,well, well. What do we have here? Blackstar, your not getting into another fight now are you?" We turned around and saw Death standing infront of a mirror at the end of the platform. When did he get there? blackstar released my hand and placed both his hands behind his head.
"Nah," he said, smiling. "Not now at least."
"Well okay then. Kiddo, good to see you here! What brings you to school on a sunday?" Death said in a playful tone, making me begin to regret coming to Death City, but then I remember, it could either be this, or be controled by Medusa. I liked this better than being controled.
"Father, I found a new meister. She wishes to join the DWMA."
"Who might this girl be? The one standing next to Blackstar?"
"Um, yes sir," I said, speaking up. I don't want Kid saying everything for me, plus it makes it better for me if I talk to Death myself.
"Well then, what is your name?"
"Ana, my name is Ana Psyche."
Death nodded, "Well then Ana, Kid said you were a meister, right?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
"Then it settled! You will become a student here at the DWMA starting tomorrow, Kid? Blackstar?"
"Yeah," both said at the same time.
"You will show Ana here to your class, Class Cresent Moon, am I correct?"
"Yes, you are correct, father," Kid said in a dead serious tone. Death nodded once again.
"Um, Death, sir," I began in a quiet voice. He looked at me. "I still need a place to live."
Kid looked at me, "But Ana, you told me you just moved here."
"Yeah," I began, rubbing the back of my neck nervously, "I lied so that you could take me to see Lord Death."
I heard Blackstar begin to laugh and Kid sighed. Death just gave me a look that couldn't be described becasue he had a mask on. "Well then, Ana. I have no choice but to give you this." Death held out one of his giant foam hands, which was in a fist. He opened the fist and in his hand was a key. "This is the key to your new appartment. I'm sure once you find a weapon, one of you two can move in with the other. That reminds me, i'll have to gather a list of meisterless weapons for you."
I was to busy admiring the golden key that was just handed to me to listen to the rest of Death's lecture. I nodded in response, hoping that he would shut up and leave me to go home and sleep, I hadn't slept in a while beacuse of my running away.
"Shall I take her to her new home, father?" Kid asked, making me snap out of yet another trance. Man, I have got to stop with the spacing out today! Death nodded and shoo'd us away.
"I'll see you kids tomorrow! Ana, i'll call you down once I have the list ready, and don't worry about the appartment, Kid knows where it is. Its where meister Maka and her weapon Soul live, those are Kid and Blackstar's friends too. You'll get along nicely with them, I just know it!"
And with that, we were out of the room. I looked to Kid and Blackstar, who were walking behind me. They both gave me a shrug and began to walk. I followed, not wanting to get lost on my way to my new apartment. I fixed the strap on my should, forgetting I had my bag with me. I forget so easily.
"I say we visit Soul and Maka and tell them they have a new neighbor!" Blackstar said happily with a giant smile on his face.
"Don't you have to go home and see Tsubaki?" Kid asked, he was probably getting annoyed with Blackstar.
"She told me that she was going to go home with Soul and Maka. Patti and Liz said that they would go too."
Kid only nodded. I looked at the two before giving up. I guess I would meet these people later. A few minutes passed and soon we came upon an appartment complex. I looked at the key that I still held in my hands and say a number enscribed on the back. Room 188.
Kid led us up a flight of stairs, Blackstar telling me to be careful the entire time we walked up. I glared at him, only to have him laugh in my face. "Such and idiot," I mumbled under my breath. We walked along the second floor untill Kid and Blackstar came to a stop infront of the first door.
"This is Maka and Soul's apartment. You can with us if you like," Kid said as he reached for the brass doorknob. I shook my head and lightly declined the offer.
"I'll see them tomorrow morning," I said as I began to walk towards my apartment, which just happened to be a few doors down.
"Alright then, i'll tell them to wait for you tomorrow, then we can all meet up at school so you don't get lost."
I was shocked that Kid would do such a thing, even though I just met him earlier today. "You would do that?" I asked, surprised at the offer. Kid nodded and gave a small smile. I couldn't help myself from running over and hugging him. It caught him, and Blackstar, off gaurd. "Thank you."
"Y-your welcome," he responded. I pulled away and gave them both a smile before running off to my appartment. I unlocked the door and grabbed the knob, waving bye to Blackstar and Kid as they walked into Maka and Soul's appartment. I walked into the apartment, and as soon as I shut the door, I colapsed onto the floor.
"My first day in Death City and I haven't died, thats good, right?"
Yay! I made this one extra long since I had the time to make it extra long! Reviews are nice, so please give them, they help alot. Also, i'm going to follow the manga since its longer than the anime, plus I like the manga better becasue its has the book of Eibon and...You know what, not going to spoil it untill I get to that part, which will be in the sqeual. Oh yeah, i have this story all planned out, you just wait and see! ;D
