Resonance
Chapter 4: The Boy who will Surpass God! Who Will Come out on Top?
A sound soul, dwells within a sound mind, and a sound body...
"Haruuuu! Wake up!" I yelled as I pounded my fists on her door. It was only the beginning of our second week of school at the DWMA and we were already two hours late. Even after all that noise, I could still hear snoring from behind her door.
She's like a freaking hibernating squirrel...
"Alright. Have it your way. You forced me to do this." I said with a smirk and back up into my room as far as I could go. I let out a yell and charged at her door, leaping up at the very last second and forcing my feet through the door.
I had expected for the whole door just to fall in, but that wasn't the case. Instead, my feet busted through then middle of the wooden door, making a hole too small for me to fit the rest of the way through. So there I was, stuck halfway in between Haru's room and the hall.
"Dang it! Haru just wake up!" I screamed. I still heard snoring.
I let out a loud sigh, officially giving up. So I just dangled there, bored out of my mind. It was no use just to hang there screaming at her to wake up. I heard her moan a couple times, hopeful that she had finally woken up, but then the snoring would begin again.
It felt like hours had passed. I was probably in the most uncomfortable position ever, my legs up in the air in Haru's room, and then the other half of me hanging upside down against her door in the hallway. I tried moving around a bit to see if I could get out, but I was really stuck.
Since there was nothing else to do, I finally drifted to sleep.
"Kara!" I heard someone yell. I opened my eyes quickly, blinking a couple times so they could get used to the light. Haru's bright green eyes came out of the blurriness, and then so did the rest of her face after a couple more seconds.
"What do ya think you're doing?" She said with a smirk, putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh, you know, just hanging around." I replied with a sneer. "What about you?! I tried to wake you up hours ago!"
"We'll I didn't hear you."
"Obviously," I said, rolling my eyes. "Now help me out of here!"
It took a couple of tries, but Haru helped me out of the door in no time.
"So what time is it anyway?" I asked, dusting myself off.
"Like eleven something." She said with a yawn. My eyes brightened.
"So we only missed the first part of class. If we leave now, we can get there before lunch ends." I said happily.
At least we didn't miss the whole day...
So Haru and I set off toward the direction of the DWMA, climbed the large staircase and started toward the front doors. We were only halfway to the entrance when someone started yelling at us.
"Hey!" A boy with spiky blue hair yelled and strutted toward us. "Your kind of late, dontcha think?"
"Yeah, we're aware of that." I mumbled, starting to walk again. He jumped in my way.
"So you think you can just walk in and think everything's ok?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's a free country, I can come when I want to. Now get out of my way, brat." Haru said, annoyed. She grabbed the boy by the shoulders and pushed him to the side. He lost his balance and stumbled a little, but quickly stood back up.
"Alright, you think your so tough? Then let's take this outside!" The blue-haired boy shouted.
"We already are outside..." I snorted.
"Ok, challenge accepted. Prepare to look like a fool." Haru sneered, crossing her arms across her chest. The boy let out a small laugh.
"Ha! Nobody makes a fool out of Black Star! I am going to surpass God!" He shouted obnoxiously. "Tsubaki!" He called. A tall girl with long black hair tied up in a pony tail quickly rushed to his side.
"Um, yes Black Star?" She stuttered.
"Get ready, we are going to fight these two! And win!" He laughed. Haru and I narrowed our eyes at him.
"We'll if you are going to fight, you'll need a teacher to supervise." Maka said, coming out of the school's front doors, followed by Soul, Kid, Patty, and Liz.
"Hey, you guys finally made it!" Soul said with a half-smile.
"Yeah, someone had a bit of a sleepy start." I said, shooting a look at Haru. She just shrugged.
In the meantime, Maka had gone back into the building and came back out, accompanied by professor Stein.
"Alright, I heard there was going to be a fight, so don't get too carried away." Stein said, leaning up against the building.
"Alright! Now don't think I'm just going to go easy on you just cause your girls." Black Star said with a smirk.
"Good. Didn't want you to." Haru said, then turned quickly into a braided whip.
"Ha! A whip? What a lame weapon! What harm is a whip going to do..?" He laughed. I lunged forward, cracking the whip at him, leaving a bright red line and a shocked expression on his face.
"Ow! It burns!" He screeched, carefully touching the red line.
"We'll you asked for it!" I said with a smirk. He grinned and charged forward, yelling like an idiot.
"Tsubaki! Ninja sword mode!" He shouted. His weapon immediately transformed into a sword and he lunged at me, missing my arm by couple inches. I cracked the whip again, leaving another bright red line across his face.
"Ow! Stop doing that!" He complained.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were the one who wanted a fight in the first place." I said, brushing my bangs out of my eyes. Black Star was still busy rubbing the burn, that my focus switched from him to the small group that had gathered to watch. I found that my eyes locked on Kid, and he offered me a small smile and wave that sent shivers down my spine.
So...perfect...
My mind began to race thinking of different ways that I could spend more time with Kid, that I didn't notice that Black Star was right in front of me and thrust the sword forward, jabbing it into my side.
"Ow! Dang it!" I growled, holding my side. I pulled my hand away to see it shining in red blood.
"You ok?" Haru asked, concerned.
"Yeah." I muttered, focusing back on Black Star.
"That's what happens when you don't pay attention!" He said, starting to laugh annoyingly. In an instant, my fist connected with the side of his face, sending him flying backwards and crashing into the ground.
"I could say the same thing for you." I said with a smirk. That's when I decided to attack. Just like I did with the rabbit on our first day of school, I snapped the whip, making it wrap around Black Star's ankle. Then in one swift motion, I flicked the whip up, and started to spin it, sending him around in circles in mid air. I could hear him yelling as he swung around again and again, until he was going so fast, he was just a black and blue blur.
After I decided that he had had enough, I flicked the whip again, making it loose it's grip around his ankle and so he flew through the air, eventually falling and crashing right into short cement barrier that surrounded the school, cracking it into with his hard head. But what I didn't know was that his weapon had transformed again and one of the sickle shaped ends on the chain was hooked around one of my belt loops. I have no clue how that got there, but I knew that Black Star had the other end because I went flying through the air.
"Craaaappp!" I yelled as I watched the chain start to fall over the edge of the cement ground, right through where Black Star cracked the barrier.
It seemed like everything was going in slow motion, and the next thing I knew, I was dangling over the edge, just hanging onto the chain of Black Star's weapon.
Great...more hanging...
I looked down below me. It was pure fog.
"Black Star! Pull her up, now!" I heard Stein shout.
I wasn't about to lose this fight. I grabbed onto the jagged edge of the cement, letting go of the chain and hoisting myself over the unbroken barrier that was farther away from everyone else. I stood away at a distance, waiting for my cue.
Black Star, Maka, Stein, Soul, Kid, Liz, and Patty were all gathered at the edge.
"It's lighter now." Black Star said, confused. They pulled up the chain until they got to the end.
"Oh my..." Maka said, covering her mouth.
"Did she...fall?" Kid asked, his face going pale. They all stood there in silence, looking at one another in shock and with worried expressions.
"We'll the good news is, I won! Right?!" Black Star said proudly. I pounced forward, grabbing his arm and sending him flying backwards, making him crash into the side of the building.
"And that," I said, dusting off my hands, "is for almost killing me."
I tossed the whip into the air, allowing Haru to transform back into her human form.
"Alright!" She exclaimed, giving me a high five. I looked over at the others, who were shaking their heads but smiling and laughing, and then my focus was directed toward Black Star, who was being helped up off the ground by Tsubaki.
He blinked his eyes a few times and then hobbled over to where Haru and I stood.
"I can't believe I was beaten..." He mumbled. Haru and I both rolled our eyes and held out one of our hands.
"Truce?" We asked in unison. He gave us a half-smile and slapped both of our hands.
"Truce." He muttered.
Afterwards, Stein led us all back into the school for the second part of class. After class ended, everyone sort of gathered back in front of the school.
Even though today hadn't gone the way I expected...like, AT ALL...I was still glad that this happened. Now maybe Black Star won't be as annoying all the time. Maybe even give up all that "surpassing God" nonsense...
"Oh well! I won't let that little incident get in my way. I am still going to surpass God! Ahahahaha!" Black Star shouted proudly.
Ok...maybe not...
