Ring. Ring. Ring.
Liz was so done with the alarm clock. She smacked the thing off as if her life depended on it. Her sister was laying on top of her, which made the waking up early progress worse. Maka and Tsubaki were both hanging off from each side of their bed. None of the girls had wanted to separate, they weren't as stupid as the boys. Nobody else had woken up, thanks to Liz breaking the alarm clock. She gritted her teeth as early thoughts of a surely to come Maka-Chop greeted her. Pushing her sister off, she stood up and walked to the bathroom. As she was about to take her shirt off, the mirror started to shiver. She quickly put her shirt back on and glared at the now focused face that was Kid's.
"I was about to tale a shower," she growled. Kid only waved his hand and stood straight.
"You're my weapon, Liz. I've liteally shared my sould with you. No need to be embarassed."
Liz let out a huff and hung her head in defeat. This guy would be the death of her.
"What do you need, Kid?"
"Ahem... I kinda got trapped in the storage closet. I was cleaning it up. And it somehow got closed..." Liz sighed when she understood where her meister was going with this.
"I'm on my way. Don't go anywhere"
"I can't," Kid gave her an incredulous look. "I'm stuck inside a closet. I can't get out, Liz."
Since Liz was too tired to protest, she left the bathroom and put Tsubaki's slippers on by mistake. She walked outside of her dorm and towards the guys' one. Walking to the storage closet, which was technically a basement, Liz heard a muffled sound. She walked a bit closer to the source of the sound, which led her to a door just outside of the storage closet. Behind the door was the voice of a girl. Liz was immediately on guard. She contemplated on looking for Kid then come back in case they needed to find a witch, but curiosity got the best of her. She opened the door slowly, causing it to squeak. Liz backed up against a wall to prevent whoever was in there to see her. A dark figure crossed her vision, and her breath quickened. 'I can't believe I came here on my own! Stupid, stupid, stupid' she thought to herself. The girl's voice could still be heard, and - was that a monkey she heard? No, wait, it was the girl making weird noises. At first Liz thought she'd just walked in on two kids doing IT, but then she heard a voice say the word "reaper". Reaper...as in Grim Reaper? Could the girl be referring to Kid? Liz would kill anybody who dared mess with her meister. Before she could react, though, a hand grabbed her wrist. Her gasp was muffled by a hand covering her mouth. She calmed down enough to look who was trying to kill her. It was...Nicole? Said girl let go of Liz and raised an eyebrow.
"What are you doing here this early?"
Liz crossed her arms. "I could be asking you the same thing."
"Um, in charge. Remember?" Nicole looked at Liz with a bored expression.
Liz immediately wanted to smack herself for being such an idiot. Of course Nicole would be walking around, making sure everything was fine. The voice she heard could've been Nicole's. It even sounded like her, now that Liz thought about it. Nicole was trustworthy, Liz reminded herself. Maybe she was just paranoid about the whole thing, and that maybe Justin was, too. Maybe there is nothing to be worried about, and everybody's just worked up about the fight with the Kishin.
Liz came out of her train of thought when Nicole waved her hand in fron of her face. Just then did Liz remember Kid, locked up in the closet. She rushed over to the storage closet, ignoring any words that came from Nicole's mouth. As she opened the door, which had a chair holding it back, she was greeted by an annoyed Kid.
"You took long."
"Sorry," she squeaked. "Got distracted."
"Hmm, I see. Very well," Kid just fixed his sleeves and looked at Nicole. "Why are you with her?"
Nicole spoke before Liz could open her mouth. "In charge. Do I need to remind you about that all the time?"
Liz and Kid looked at each other. They were both thinking the same thing, she looks too young. Most definitely would they have to be reminded about her being in charge of a school.
"What were you doing in there anyway? Coming out of the closet?" Neither Liz or Kid understood the joke, so Nicole sighed and told them to get ready for school. Which, according to Nicole, they were five minutes late for. Liz scrambled up the stairs to her dorm, making sure her nails and eyebrows were neat once there. After getting ready, she went to her second period class since she was sure she was late for first period.
She was correct, as she saw Black Star and Patty talking about cookies. Patty was the first to notice her.
"Where were you, Liz?" she cocks her head to the side.
"You missed a good conversation about cookies," Black Star chimes in.
Liz just sits down and rests her head on her propped up hands.
"I bet."
The amount of twitching Maka's eye had done the past hour was scary. She only wanted the kid to answer one stupid question, that's all. But no, the kid has to be "funny" and joke around, causing the rest of the brats to do the same. Seriously, she was contemplating on sedating the kids.
Tsubaki was passing by Maka's classroom, and decided to go in si cr it was free period for the kids. Since the last incident had happened, neither of them went outside to Recess. They'd made peace, bug Maka was still kind of mad Taubaki would embarras her like that. Anyway, they were friends. And she couldn't stay mad for long.
"Careful there, your eye might pop out," Tsubaki said playfully.
Maka didn't look at her as she continued to sort through some papers. "That'd do me one hell of a favor right now."
Taubaki just sat down in the teacher's chair and listened to Maka rant about how annoying the kids were.
After Maka had finished her intense explanation of how boogers could contaminate her into getting some sort of deadly virus, Tsubaki asked, "Why don't you just quit?"
Maka looked at Tsubaki with wide eyes. "No way. Nobody would be able to do this, and I won't leave you alone."
"Don't worry, I could handle myself! And I'd just call for you guys if anything were to happen!" Tsubaki smiled sweetly.
Maka returned a half smile. "It's okay, Tsubaki. At least it's not forever. I just need some time to adjust, really"
Both girls nodded and continued working on silence. Tsubaki kept busy with a stack of drawings she had. Maka was grading tests. Just as she was in her last paper, Maka's thoughts drifted to Soul.
Her scythe, that she would soon turn into a Death Scythe, was dealing with something even more annoying than little kids: highschoolers. To top it all off, he was with Kid. Maka had always liked Kid, for a while even had a little crush on him, but the guy was a bit too OCD. It was funny how Soul, Maka, and Blair would sit down and debate wether his OCD was healthy. While Maka always thought it was dangerous for him, Soul would always oppose. He said it was a part of Kid, and nobody should change anybody just because they want to. Blair would take a side depending on who was winning that day. It was fun, and sometimes even Crona perked in an answer.
Talking about Crona, Maka wondered how her boyfriend was doing. He didn't go with them, since he had his own mission. Even though he was still shy, Crona had opened up a bit more. Back at home, everyday was like a day with Maka and her own family. Crona was the dad, she was the mom, Soul would be the son, and Blair would jump between being pet and daughter. Maka enjoyed it, since she never really used to sit down and relax. Everything was just missions and books. Now Soul and Maka had made an unspoken agreement to take things easy, Soul would surely become a Death Scythe soon. When that happened, she could picture her mother coming home. Her mom, kissing her cheek and telling her how proud she was about all of her accomplishments. Maka could picture it. Her Mama and Papa and her, a happy family.
Maka was woken up from her daydream by Tsubaki, who was shaking the blond with a little too much force. She lazily blinked her eyes at the Brunette, who had a worried expression plastered on her face.
"What's wrong, Tsubaki?"
"You looked zoned out... Kinda creepy to be completely honest." Maka barked a laugh at that as she shook Tsubaki off.
"I bet."
If Kid could punch anyone right now, it would be his albino companion. The two had just suffered the biggest emberassment known to this world. They'd head some guys in the bathroom, talking about a "come". They were sure it was some sort of Kishin planning, and bashed right in. They were greeted by a guy giving another one a blowjob while a third one was...deep. The trio looked at Soul and Kid with such hatred in their eyes that they decided to make a run for it. Thankfully, they didn't need to see those guys again. Considering they were in that area just because they were looking for anything suspicious and didn't really have any compromise there.
Kid was surprised to see such symmetry, though. Two round things, front and back, and were perfectly symmetrical. Apparently only men had all four things, since he'd seen girls and they only had two on the behind. He'd need to check something like that again, a guy that had all four.
"That is disgusting man," he heard Soul say beside him. Kid raised an eyebrow in question.
"The four round things...thing."
Kid frowned, still not quite understanding what Soul meant. And another question in the back of his mind, how did he know he'd thought of that?
"You were talking out loud, thankfully only some girls were passing by and for the most of it ignored you." When Kid just blinked again, Soul said, "And it's okay man. If you're into that... Just... It's cool. Either way. A cool guy like me doesn't care about those things."
Kid just smiled and kept walking forward. "I do not find any interest in men. I do find interest in symmetry, though. You won't catch me touching a male, but you'll catch me watching his symmetrical biological parts."
Soul just grinned at his blunt and oblivious friend. Kid felt his cheeks get a bit red, since it was kind of weird the way he'd phrased everything he'd just said. Kid knew Soul didn't mind, and was used to the reaper being weird.
Kid wanted to know how his weapons were doing. Not to be mean, but he didn't trust the blue-haired boy in keeping them safe and unnoticed. He knew Black Star was caring very deep in his superiority core. He also knew, though, that he wasn't the best at being subtle. He'd learned over the years, but it was not enough to calm down about his weapons. The sisters had always been there for him, and he'd rather kill himself than let anything happen to them. The girls weren't just sisters to each other, but to Kid as well. The three had this mutual understanding and valued each other. They could all balance each other out, and it was what made their partnership perfect.
He wondered what they'd be doing if this mission hadn't come up. Maybe he'd be sitting on his bed, reading a book. Then the girls would come and jump on top of him and demand he order take out. After doing so, they'd watch a movie. As it neared 2 am, the three would talk about deep stuff. Or maybe the girls would try to "make" Kid like guys, because all they wanted to do was obsess about the guys from movies. Kid always acted like he did, for their own sake. Those girls were his family, he'd do anything to keep a smile on their faces. Then sometimes Father would come, and sit next to Kid as the both just nodded at whatever the girls were saying. But then Lord Death would leave, because he was always working. In Kid's perfect world, his father was always by his side. His father would trust him with anything, and would share everything. In his perfect little world, the sisters would always hang out with girls instead of having to be stuck with him because he can't handle being alone. In that perfect little world, nothing is symmetrical. Because Kid wouldn't be OCD, and he'd be viewed as normal yet respected amongst his peers. In that perfect little world, he could be himself without anybody telling him who to be and what to do.
"...and the girls cursed me. It was hilarious man, and - hey, are you even listening?" Kid looked at Soul and gave a fake laugh.
"Yeah, I would've loved to see the girl's face!" Even though both of them knew he was lying, Soul didn't push. Kid was thankful for that, since he'd be too emberrased to explain his perfect little world in his fantasy.
"Seriously, though," Soul continued. "People need to stop being so sensitive. Things are just a joke! I bet even you would have wanted to strangle the girl."
"I bet."
Rawr. Claw. Rawr. Claw.
The noise radiated off the walls. Red orbs glared at white ones. Leona roared at Mona, who shrank back in fear.
"Leona, it's okay! Everything's going as planned. The only thing that's out of balance is that scythe boy."
The Lion Witch adjusted her light orange fur coat. "His death can be easily arranged."
"But," the Monkey Witch argued, "he's valuable amongst the rest. Wouldn't it be too obvious? Maybe we could try..."
"No!" Leona roared. It was outrageous how badly everything was going. The rest of the witches had better come, or everything would fail. A powerful soul was needed, but balance had to be kept. There were to be only six people, not seven.
Mona bit her tail nervously. "Leona, could we just think about this. He is to awake soon, and the rest aren't here. We can't be noticed."
To the less superior witch's surprise, the feline sighed.
"Very well. Just be warned. If anything goes wrong, I will have mercy on nobody." Leona looked at the smaller witch directly in the eye as she emphasized the word 'nobody'.
The small witch disappeared in a flash as the red-eyed witch caressed a chamber that was less than a few weeks to open.
"Soon."
