Shadow hunter chapter 4 (part one)
(inside the death room)
After the children left Stein approached lord Death. "Shinigami sama, are you sure it's wise to put Evans and Natasukasa together? Didn't you notice that feeling when they resonated?"
Death watched the group leave the school through his mirror. "I haven't felt a resonance like that in 100 years. I'm curious as to what it will become."
As Stein put on his cloak he looked back at the tall dark figure. "Of your thinking of that event, you should reconsider. Eater is already plagued by madness. This could tear him apart." Stein looked back at the silver haired youth through the mirror, with worry etched across his features.
(outside the room)
"Like hell you could eat more pizza than me! Even if you were a god there is no way you could beat a cool guy like me."
"Ha cocky aren't ya? Its not smart to make challenges you can't back up! Let's go I'm gonna wipe the floor with you!" Tsubaki watched the two bickering friends with a smile on her face. She turned to Maka, "Sounds like there eating pizza tonight. Do you wanna go with them? If not I'm going to go home and barbeque the leftover meat from yesterday. Your welcome to join me if you want."
Maka looked away from Tsubaki and back at the Soul, "as if I want to go see those two eat themselves sick." She chuckled and then looked down at her feet, "actually I'm not feeling too good right now. I'm just going to go home, take a nice shower, and go to bed."
Tsubaki smiled fondly at Maka, "That actually doesn't sound too bad, it's been a long day. I hope you feel better!" Maka waved goodbye and started walking towards her and Soul's home. 'I hope Blackstar doesn't stay out too late'. Tsubaki looked infront of her to find that Soul and Blackstar were already long gone. 'He's with Soul so they should be alright.
Tsubaki turned on the street that would lead her home and began to think of her friends. 'I hope Maka feels better tomorrow. I feel kind of bad, seemed to stiffen up when Shinigami sama announced that Soul and I would be working together. I hope she's not upset with me. I wonder what she and Soul fought about? They've had fights before but never bad enough to interfere with missions, I shouldn't worry about it it's none of my business anyway."
She turned again now on the street with her home. 'I'm even more worried about Kid and the twins though. After the incident they didn't talk much.' Tsubaki remembers the awkward ride home with Soul and Maka on either side of her; Soul was asleep on her shoulder with Maka glaring out the window. Kid, Liz and Patty sitting opposite of them, still looking dazed and confused, Tsubaki could see the guilt in Liz's eyes every time she would look at her.
Tsubaki sighed as she unlocked the door to her home. "Maybe I'll just follow Maka's example and go to sleep. It's been a long and stressing day" Tsubaki was going to the bathroom to take a shower when she felt a cool draft of air hit her back, 'did I leave a window open?' Tsubaki walked back to the front door to find the door open. "I guess I forgot to close the door all the way.' After closing and locking the door she begins to walk back towards the bathroom when she hears knocking at the door. 'Who could it be at this time of night?' Tsubaki turns around and looks through the peep hole to see Soul standing there waiting. It takes her a second to unlock the door. She opens it to find no one on the other side. 'I must be tired' thought Tsubaki as she began to walk towards her bedroom. After getting changed into her pajamas she laid down in her bed thinking of the mission she and Soul were going on. Just before she falls asleep she hears the sink in the bathroom turn on. Deciding to tell Blackstar good night before going to sleep, she gets out of bed and begins to go in the direction of their bathroom. Before she can get to the door she felt water running under the door, onto their hardwood floors.
Tsubaki flung the door open and walked inside "Black Star! How many times have I-" She realized she was yelling to an empty room. The door slammed behind her. She turned around. The door wouldn't open. Looking around she realized she wasn't standing in water. Blood. Black blood. She stood panicked. It was almost ankle deep. She tried to turn the faucet off. The handle broke. There was blood everywhere flying from the faucet into her face. It was shoulder deep. She tried to scream but the cold blood running past her lips muffled her voice. She tried to swim towards the surface for air but the blood was as thick as mud. There was no escape. No air. No hope.
