Italics = thoughtsJade: Wow, what a boring day.
Vic: Are you kidding me? That stir fry was to die for~!
Jade: Yeah, it was pretty good...
Vic: -stares questionably- Hey, are we starting this thing by ourselves?
Jade: -shrugs- I'm not sure..., -looks around to see empty green room-
Vic: Maybe this is the chapter wher eI finally get to show my true colours! The time where I shine and show what I'm really made of! The main character of Fearless, Victor V-!
Jade: -thunks Vic over the head with her fist- Shut up Vic, you've been around Black Star too much. Plus if this story was about you everyone would die of boredom. It would be like listening to Excalibur all over again.
Vic: -blinks with mouth hung open- Th-That's not true! I am nothing like that oblivious and annoying weapon!
Jade: Nah, you're exactly the same..., -sits on random folding chair with arms crossed, eyes closed-
Vic: Liar, plus without me you wouldn't be here and if you weren't here than there'd be no story..., So, really I am the main character.
Jade: No, you support the main character, you're a supporting character.
Vic: -glares severely- You'll see..., I'll have you crawling on your knees, begging for my help! Without me your NOTHING!
Jade: -blinks, slightly frightened at the 180 turn in Vic's emotions and carefully hits enter-
Vic: -paces back and fourth mumbling very evil and dark things as a cloud of madness begins to grow above his head-
Kid paced back and forth in front of the main door. His mind was so boggled up that he could hardly walk straight. Every 15 minutes he would rush around the house, checking every measurement and every ornament, to make sure it was all symmetrical. Both Liz and Patti watched their technician in his frenzy. Patti laughing almost the entire time where Liz was becoming more, and more irritated and worried. I just don't understand! What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to act?
"Urgh!"
He began to scratch his head in a fit. Never has Kid ever been this frustrated, not even when he was locked in a room that was impossible to make symmetrical. No, this was worse. His hair was a mess and his clothes were mused up. After his 50th trip around the mansion Liz finally snapped.
"Kid! What the hell is your problem? Look at yourself!"
She held a mirror up to the boy's face. He gasped at the sight of him and curled up into a ball.
"Disgusting! Disgraceful! I deserve to die..."
It was Liz's turn to turn into a frenzy, she just couldn't take it anymore. She took Kid by the collar and threw him out of the door, locking it behind him. He realized what just happened and jumped up, pounding on the door.
"Oi! Liz! Let me in! I have to make sure the toilet paper was folded! I can't leave it! It would ruin everything! Liiiz!"
"No! You are not allowed back into this house until you deal with whatever your problem is!"
Kid paused with his fists on the door. She's right... I have to face this... He straightened himself up and with quick movements, he was back in pristine condition.
"I wonder if Soul would know what to do?"
Elsewhere, Jade and Vic clung to the ceiling of the library. With Vic in his weapon form, Jade held on to him in her mouth.
"Hey, did you have blueberry waffles for breakfast? You kinda smell of blueberry."
"Woul' ou hut up!" She tried to yell in a whispered tone as well as she could with a blade between her teeth. "Hiff e geh caught, e are shrewed!"
"I don't see why we have to break into the library... Can't we just ask for the book?"
"Ust hut up... -censored mumbles-"
Vic just crossed his arm's and sighed as he waited for Jade to make her move. After many minutes, the librarian finally made his way out of the back and out from behind the desk.
"Yosh. Es go."
She crawled across the ceiling a little more and let herself drop, landing silently behind the desk. Carefully she crept into the back, quickly scanning over the sub-categories of the books. Vic, out of her mouth, followed her movements, scanning the other side.
Kid stood in front of Maka and Soul's apartment. He was trying to figure out what to ask him and how to ask him before he finally got the courage to knock. As he paced back and forth the door was opened. He froze and turned to see Maka blinking curiously at him.
"Oh, hello Kid. Did you need something?"
"Actually, I came to ask Soul something."
"Alright, you'll have to wake him up though." Her face became grim, "The bastard still hasn't gotten out of bed..."
With that she stomped away, muttering ill things toward the weapon. Kid just shook his head and let himself into the house. He looked around, though not symmetrical, they kept a very neat house which he praised. He walked up to Soul's room and knocked lightly on the door. There was no response and Kid almost decided to back out and just figure it out on his own but the thoughts frightened him and he tried again, louder.
"Errghhh... Go away, Maka!"
"Actually, it's Kid. Can I talk to you?"
A strange assortment of sound were heard and what sounded like a person falling over multiple objects came from the room. Kid stood, waiting for the boy to let him in and after a few moments and curses later, Soul opened the door, trying to look... 'cool'.
"Oi, what's up Kid?"
"I need to ask you something..."
Soul raised an eyebrow, this was a side of Kid that he has never met. Well, the two never really talked much to begin with.
"Sure."
He pushed the door open and let Kid wander into his room where he took a seat at Soul's desk. Soul just leaned on the opposite wall, waiting for Kid to speak. The shinigami just sat there, fiddling his thumbs. After a few moments, Soul spoke up.
"What did you want to ask?"
"Umm, it's about... It's about a girl."
This somewhat perked Soul's interest and he let a smirk pull at his lips.
"Really?" He spoke slyly.
"Yeah... This girl, she well. She expressed her, feelings, quite bluntly... And now, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do..."
Soul began to chuckle as he watched the once cool-headed and calm boy act like a mess right before him. Before Soul could give him his 'cool' advice a purple haired cat popped into the room. Her attire was rather, questionable, causing both guy's to lose any cool they had left. Blair jumped up bringing her face centimetres away from Kid's. Soul's nose bleed from the perfect view he has of the barely covered bottom and Kid's face was completely red from the closeness and the pair of breasts that were pretty much in his lap.
"Nyaaa! Is Kid having girl twoubles?" The girl purred.
Neither boy could speak, only blink. Blair stood up tapping her finger on her chin in a matter of thought.
"Why doesn't Kid take her on a romantic date?" She let out a purr as she grasped her hands, daydreaming of a scene. "Kid can make her a fancy meal with candle lights and give her this!"
Out of no where, Blair pulled out an article of clothing more fit for someone like her. Kid and Soul stared at the piece of red, see-through cloth with fur along the top. They stared at the cloth then back to Blair and in sync the two both collapsed where they sat/stood. Blair just looked at the boy's with swirling eyes with a pouting face.
"Nyuu, did Blair say something wrong? Oh well! Lunch time!"
The cat pranced out, preparing to cook some fish for her growling stomach.
Book after book, after book, after book.
"Dammit... Where is it?"
"What makes you think that they would have something like that recorded?"
Jade sighed as she fell back into a pile of books. After a while she eventually got sick of being discrete and just started pulling out books and tossing em away.
"You're right... That's a big thing. Urgh!"
In a fuss she began to toss the books back into the shelves. They were bound to get caught soon if they kept up the way they were. Vic watched the girl as he slowly helped with the books. He was beginning to notice a slight decrease in her motivation. It's as if she was given up on looking for him.
"Jade..." She ignored him, "Why don't we just stop? Maybe we can just stay here, or something. Maybe we can go back to Europe... you liked it there right?"
"You know Vic... I'm starting to think this school is the cause. Maybe mother was right..."
"Holy shit! Mark the calender!" Vic teased as he put up his last book. "Let's get out of here. Maybe we'll go catch a bite to eat or something..."
Jade watched the ground as she put the last book in. For many years the 'Kishin' was sealed below the city. She let out a sigh and nodded her head.
Kid now stood in front of Tsubaki and Black Star's home. Soul was an utter disaster. The two boys ended up being woken up by burning fish being thrown at their faces. Then Maka came in and Kid only got a half-ass response from Soul. He let out a sigh and knocked on the door. Tsubaki came to the door with the small, polite smile she always seemed to wear.
"Hey Tsubaki. Is Black Star around?"
The girl nodded and showed Kid inside, leading him to a sitting room. Kid looked around at the very Japanese styled room but didn't have much time to contemplate because Black Star was in his face the moment he stopped walking.
"What's up Kid? Finally here to admit my large presence?"
The only thing large about you is your ego. "No, actually I came to ask for some advice."
"Yosh! You came to the right place!" Black Star hollered with a thumbs up and a wink.
Kid inwardly began to regret this decision.
"Well, this girl. She explained her feelings in a rather blunt fashion... but now I'm not sure how I'm to react."
"Wahahaha! Don't worry about one girl! There is so much more out there, like training! A girl is just gonna slow ya down! Forget her, you're young, there's plenty of fish in the sea!"
Kid just stared at the obnoxious boy. Tsubaki looked almost horrified.
"Black Star! That's horrible advice!" Tsubaki explained as she gave a dark look to the grinning boy.
This started a bicker between the two and Kid just sat there, still with unanswered advice.
Kid walked down the streets, he had one more idea before he might resort to the most frightening thing he could think of... He stood in front of the Laboratory of Professor Stein.
"I'm sure he will have logical advice. He is a professional."
Kid knocked and let himself in. Stein was sitting in his wheelie chair, staring at the bright computer screen. Of course, since the Kishin's release, Stein wasn't doing all that well. But right now, Kid was becoming desperate.
"Professor Stein, can I ask you for some advice?"
The doctor just grinned menacingly as he chuckled to himself. Kid was becoming leery on his decision.
"How do I act towards a girl who has explained her feelings towards me?"
Stein just chuckled a little more before tilting his head.
"Dissect her. Dissect her and study her insides. Her insides won't lie! Hehehe!"
Kid's eyes opened widely as the professor turned to him.
"What's a shinigami look like inside? Hehe!"
At the moment, Kid has never ran so fast out of a room. He almost knocked down Miss Marie as she brought in some groceries. He shouted his apologies and kept running at full speed. Miss Marie stood there, rather confused but simply shrugged it off.
"Stein! I brought lunch."
Jade wandered the alleyways of Death City by herself. Maybe Vic was right. Maybe I should give up... It's been so many years. With a sigh she let herself fall back against the fountain. She seems to always end up here.
"Maybe I should just question Kid?" She thought back to when she stumbled across that shrine, "It would just be the same."
"Urgh!" She let out a frustrated shout as she punched the cement of the fountain.
"Are you alright?"
"Huh? Oh, hey Soul. What are you doing?"
"I pissed Maka off and she kicked me out."
"Wow. How uncool of you."
The boy scowled as he took a seat beside the girl. His trust in her was still very low, but as she was acting so far, she was decent.
"I saw Maka today, she looked beyond pissed. What was wrong?"
Soul let out a sigh as he tilted his head up, "It's a long story. I'll just say a lot has happened before you showed up."
After a few moments of silence Soul spoke again.
"So why are you really here at Shibusen?"
Jade looked over with a raised brow, "What?"
"You never go to class, you've been on one mission since you got here. Why are you here?"
Jade's eyes narrowed as similar red eyes watched her reactions. She never thought that her story was so easy to see through. Here she thought she was putting up a good front. She chuckled which caused a dark expression to pull at Soul's features.
"For the past few decades I've been searching for my father. A few months ago I finally got some clues to where he was. Some old man told me he was visiting up here. So I came to investigate."
Soul stood up and took a few steps before turning back to warn the girl.
"It would be uncool if you were to use Kid to get the information. I would have to do something about it. Remember that."
Jade just chuckled lightly and smiled at the threatening white haired boy. With that the boy left and Jade decided it was time to go home.
"It doesn't seem like I'm making many friends."
A/N: Alrighty, here's chapter 4...! Man, time has been skipping by so fast! I'm pretty sure it was like two days ago I put this up...? -shrugs- Anyways, this was more of a fun little chapter to mess with the characters. I tried to make it as humorous as possible, for some comic relief. I hope you all enjoyed it :D
