-next morning-
Armory was in the kitchen when the others arrived, singing.
-Hello-
Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing
Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left to yesterday
Amory, who didn't sense her company, kept singing.
-My Immortal-
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cry I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face – it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice – it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still here with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus:]
-Imaginary-
(Awwwwwwwwwwwwww, paper flowers) [X2]
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they're falling, tell a story
[chorus]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)
Don't say I'm out of touch
With tis rampant chaos-your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
[chorus]
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
[chorus]
(Paper flowers)
Armory, finally noticing her company when clapping erupts, bows and sings yet another song, "Taking Over Me".
-Taking Over Me-
you don't remember me but I remember you I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you but who can decide what they dream? and dream I do...
I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live to breathe you're taking over me
have you forgotten all I know and all we had? you saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand I knew you loved me then
I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live to breathe you're taking over me
I look in the mirror and see your face if I look deep enough so many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live to breathe you're taking over me
I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live to breathe you're taking over me
Taking over me Your Taking Over Me Taking over me Taking over me
As she finished her song Giriko walked into the kitchen. "Having fun?" he asked, a smile on his face showing his sharp shark-like teeth. "Yes grandpa I am." Armory said with a smile to her grandfather. Maka, "Good morning Giriko." Justin, blushing from what happened the previous night, gave a quite 'hi' to Armory which she, with a silent look to Giriko, grabbed Justin and kissed him, when the kiss broke Justin stuttered while trying to understand what had just happened. Giriko, "It's her way of saying 'we are going out Friday, pick me up at seven'. Just have her back by midnight." Justin nodded with a smile while Armory walked over to the refrigerator and asked, "Have you guys had breakfast yet? I make a mean omelet." Everyone said 'no' and went to the living room as she started cooking. Justin, who'd stayed, asked, "Do you need help?" Armory smiled at him and said, "No, but you could set the dining hall table. And thank you Justin, for asking me, not many take the time to do so." Justin blushed and quickly went to the dining hall to set the table. She smiled again and went back to making breakfast. Wondering, for the briefest of moments, if she should try to contact her friends/brothers Hidan and Deidara. 'It'd be nice to see them again.' She thought, unconsciously using magic and shadow magic (from Yugi-oh) to lift the feast she'd made and bring it to the dining hall. "Justin, do you know how to call Death-san?" she said, walking into the hall. "Oh, yes, just find a mirror like the one at the far end of the hall over there," he pointed to said mirror, "and breathe on it making fog on the glass, then draw the numbers 42-42-564 while saying 42-4264 if you want to knock on Death's door." Armory nodded did as told. "Hello Armory! What can I do for you this morning?" Death said as his image appeared. "I wanted to know two things. 1) Do you wish to join us for breakfast and 2) can you find these people? Their names are Hidan and Deidara. They're like family to me." Armory said in an almost pleading tone. "I'd love to join you for breakfast and I will start looking for the men you spoke of later." Death said as he came through the mirror, scaring Armory a bit. He then sat at the head of the table while Armory called the others to the dining hall. One by one the others walked into the room, stopped, and gaped at the feast that Armory had prepared in only thirty minutes. "Wow! Armory did you really make all of this for us?" Maka asked, looking to a blushing Armory. She nodded while sitting down; Armory had made a feast of a traditional English breakfast. Giriko, "Okay, we need to work on your blushing problem dear." Justin, "I think it's cute." Armory's blush, which had just faded, returned vengeance as she sat to the left of Death and right of Justin. She started filling her plate with fruits, slices of bananas, apples, oranges, peaches, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and plumbs. Justin noticed her apparent love of fruit and smiled slightly. The girl managed to keep him interested with her sweet nature that could turn on a dime to a vengeful nature.
-Justin pov-
'How can one so sweet have been hurt so terribly? She's an angel.' I thought while looking at Armory from the corner of my eye. She was eating fruits: bananas, apples, oranges, peaches, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and plums. 'She got over being shy with me quickly, meaning that her ability to adapt is strong and dominate. She also analyzes things quickly, if how she reacted when she first woke here in Death City is anything to go by. She's cunning and strong willed, amazing. Gods, she's perfect.' I thought, looking at Giriko who had a knowing smile on his face. Our eyes met and a silent conversation began between us. 'Treat her right and there will be no problems between us.' I nodded and sent back 'I would become a Kishen before harming her.' to which he nodded, pleased with the response. Stein, who was three seats to my left, said, "Armory, is it alright if today you train with me to start learning to control your abilities?" Armory looked to him with a bright smile. "Yes sir, you were one of the people who saved me from my hell on earth, ahem, relatives home correct? It'd be an honor for you to teach me." I swear that her smile and calm, safe aura is affecting Stein as I took a good look at him. He looked calm and sane with a real smile, not one of his mad ones. "Yes, myself and my former scythe weapon Spirit Alburn took you from that hell. How about we start at noon?" "Sounds good, though if you are a scythe meister then how will you teach me? I am not a scythe, I am a guillotine, cannon, and chainsaw." Stein laughed good naturedly and said, "While I am a scythe meister I am good with any weapon as I have a "flexible" soul. Having a "flexible" soul allows me to change my soul wave-length to suit any weapon I am paired with." Armory nodded at the explanation and said, "Um, I've heard about something that I wish to have clarified, what are the witches that you fight and how are they different from myself as I am a witch." Stein, "With different magics than the witches we fight. I'll explain later as it may cause some unwanted memories of your garndfather's to come up. he was the weapon of the spider witch Arachne." Armory looked to Giriko who had a solumn look on his face.
