A:N: HAY! I know I haven't updated in awhile, so here's chapter four! Please R&R:)
The Fight!
"So everyone knows that we can't use soul resonance now, huh?" Xavier whispered.
Juniper brushed a stray hair from her face, "Pretty much. I wish Kid would've talked about it to me in private, because now," she sighed, "Nynecho is freaking out and Caz keeps giving me weird looks and I really don't like it!"
"That guy annoys the hell outta me. Him and his…his…just him!"
She laughed, "That made a ton of sense Xavier."
A book hit Xavier and the two looked to the front of the class to see Felix glaring angrily at them. He faked a smile and waved at them, "Mind including the class in your apparently important conversation?"
Juniper was about to speak but Xavier interrupted her, "Actually we want to include one other person," he stood up and pointed at Death The Kid, "Kid. Juniper challenges you to a fight!"
"WHAT?" Juniper and Nynecho exclaimed.
"And as rules state: 'Any duel on campus can occur only with the presence of a professor.'" Xavier grinned mischievously, "Felix, will you like to be the professor who observes this duel?"
Felix groaned, "I honestly don't give a damn about what any of you kids do because if I was in charge, I would let you guys battle it out on your own. How 'bout you ask the school nurse," he shrugged, "Just in case there's any injuries or such."
Xavier grabbed his meister's hand, "Alright we will! Come on June and Kid! You too Pistol Girlies!"
Liz shook her head, "Pistol Girlies? Greatest nickname in the world, huh Patty?"
The blond nodded her head and ran out the door followed by June, Xavier, Death The Kid, and her older sister
Renako, the DWMA's nurse, folded her hands neatly on her lap and smiled, "You may proceed the duel."
Juniper shook her head, "No. No. No. No! I don't want to fight Kid! Sure, he kinda annoys me, but still!"
The young reaper cast a lazy glance at Renako, "I'm stronger than her so I might kill her. Can I be excused?"
"What did you say? Stronger so you might kill?" Juniper's brown eyes narrowed, "I'm not weak y'know!"
"I know but you have no soul, Juniper. You're easier to-,"
"To defeat? That's it," the dark haired girl charged at him, "I'm gonna kick your ASS!"
Kid dodged her then grabbed a tuft of her hair and pulled her towards him. They were now face to face, noses barely touching. "Listen, I know you don't want to fight."
"How do you know that you jerk?"
She punched his cheek and he released her. He kicked her in the stomach and she fell to the ground, hugging herself. Seeing this chance, Kid kicked her again, this time her head. Juniper quivered with pain on the ground, refusing to get back up.
He's kicking my ass. I didn't want to be involved in this fight in the first place, but all that crap he said about me not having a soul…Does he know about my lifespan so he's taunting me? I can't lose. Not yet.
"Not yet," she whispered.
Kid tilted his head, "What."
Juniper stood up slowly, "I said, I'm not done yet. You jackass!"
Death The Kid smirked, "You're perfectly symmetrical and determined. Plus you've got spunk. I'm glad you are my opponent June."
She flipped her hair, "Thanks Kid. But," she held a hand out towards her weapon, "You're going to be depressed in a second. XAVIER!"
Xavier grabbed her hand and transformed. Juniper swung him around and held him behind her. Kid watch her close her eyes and smile.
Something is different. This isn't the same girl who I was just speaking to a few minutes ago.
"Let's go! Resonance!" the weapon and meister shouted together.
Juniper and her scythe started to glow faintly. Then, his blade grew two times it's normal size. Gripping him tighter she yelled, "Witch Hunter!"
Xavier was swung at Kid who tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The Witch Hunter sent him flying until he broke through a window and landed in one of the classrooms.
"Ohmigod! June Bug!"
Nynecho ran to her best friend and spun in a circle making her short, gray skirt twirl. "You were amazing! I can't believe you just won a fight against Kid-Kun!"
"Yeah," Caz walked up, "That was pretty awesome."
The scythe meister smiled kindly and thanked them. She glanced at Liz and Patty who were running towards them.
"You made Kid go bye-bye!" Patty squealed.
Liz looked around frantically, "Yeah and now I can't find him! Jeez June!"
"Heh, sorry girls," Juniper apologized.
Kid sat on the edge of the bed while Renako put a bandage on his cheek. "Oh dear, Kid-Sama! Juniper must've really hit you hard."
He smiled at the green eyes nurse, "Yeah, she did. It reminded me of when Maka hit me on the head when I called her asymmetrical garbage."
Renako laughed loudly and stood up. She sat down at her desk and started scribbling on a piece of paper. There was a knock at the door and June walked in.
"Is Death The Kid here?"
Renak nodded, "Yuppers! He's behind that curtain," she stood up, "I'll leave you two alone."
There was an awkward silence between the two for a few moments. Juniper was the first to speak.
"I'm sorry Kid. I really am."
Kid looked at her, "I'm sorry too. The stuff I said, about your lack of a soul, was unnecessary."
She sat next to him, "You wanna know how I resonate and how I'm alive?"
He nodded his head. "Please."
"'Kay," Juniper cleared her throat, "Thanks to my mom I was born without a soul. I have no idea how a person can be born without one unless your mom or dad didn't have one. Usually people who have no souls have kids before they're twenty or they don't have any kids at all."
"Why before twenty?" Kid interrupted.
"Because, if you were born without a soul, on the day of your twentieth birthday, you die."
Another silence fell and Juniper felt tears starting to well up in her eyes. Kid put his arm around her and she buried her face in his chest, letting the tears and sobs start.
She's getting my suit wet and dirty, but I can't think about that now. Damn It! We're not symmetrical at all right now!
He wrapped his other arm around her and pulled her closer.
That's better.
Juniper started to stop sobbing, but she still stayed in the embrace with Kid.
After a couple minutes, she leaned away and her face turned bright red. "Sorry Kid. I didn't mean to get so emotional."
He replied, "It's fine. We have to let our emotions take over sometimes."
Death The Kid looked up to see Juniper's face about an inch away from his.
"What about letting them take over, right here. Right now?" she whispered.
What's going on..? Is Juniper serious?
He leaned forward only to fall forward and land on his face. Juniper fell on the ground too, but she was laughing hysterically. Confused, Kid poked her arm. "What was that about?"
"I was joking! Do you honestly believe we would kiss and date? That's funny!" she cried.
"Oh, yeah," he replied quietly.
Juniper stopped laughing to gawk at him, "Did you think I was serious..?"
Kid didn't reply so once again, an awkward silence arose and the two meisters sat there, both of their faces red.
"Well…," she stood up and walked to the door, "Xavier is probably looking for me. See you Death The Kid."
Once she was gone, the young shinigami sat there on the floor for a bit longer. He didn't know what was going on inside Juniper's head so he figured it was somewhat like Patty's; a huge mess of childish behavior, friendly instincts, and a small portion of seriousness. Kid got up and brushed himself off, then headed for the door.
Sighing he muttered, "Why do people want to fight me as soon as I arrive at an Academy?"
