I don't own Soul Eater.

.-*-.

The weekend came mercifully quick, but against her will she was supposed to spend it with Pristine. Lucky for her Pristine's boyfriend got sick, so instead she was following her brothers around Death City, ignoring the voices to the best of her ability.

Ayumi knew that Ichiro knew that she didn't take her pills, but that wasn't her fault.

When they got to the park three teachers from the DWMA were watching six students play basketball. A tall female with dark blonde hair painted her nails on the sideline.

Stein looked over at the approaching kids. "Hello Ichiro. Daijiro. Who's this?" he asked indicating towards Ayumi, who was staring at Kid.

The auburn haired teenager nodded at his sister. "This is my sister Ayumi." Ayumi was looking around wildly.

"Is there something wrong?" Marie asked with concern, half standing, which was something Stein didn't understand. Wasn't she complaining the other day how rude the blue girl was?

Ayumi looked at her with blurry eyes, looked around again, and then sat on the ground in front of Marie with the back of her head against the blonde hammer's knee.

She muttered something like 'wow' and closed her eyes.

Stein laughed a bit. "It's like standing next to the sun, isn't it?" Marie blushed.

Ayumi shrugged. "I can't sense souls. I just feel better... Like before."

"Before what?" A blue haired boy with star shaped hair asked.

She shrugged. "Before Kishin Ashura got let out. Before I went crazy." She fell asleep.

"It was just before the Kishin was killed," Ichiro looked down, away from their faces. Behind him Daijiro toed the ground. "She wasn't in the hospital very long, but she still hears voices. Before she started to hallucinate she was depressed, which only worsened her condition, or at least that's what Pristine says."

Ichiro looked embarrassed, but Daijiro looked over to the basketball. "Hey can I play?"

Maka looked up. "He can take my place," she jogged over to Daijiro, and put her captain hat on his head. He looked at his brother, who raised his hands in surrender. Daijiro cheered and went over and started to play with the other five students.

Joe looked at the hazel eyed teen. "Is there something wrong?"

Ichiro looked at them, eyes filled with worry. "If our parents find out I let Daj play with them they'll be pissed."

Maka looked up at him. "Why?"

Liz shot up suddenly, knocking her nail polish to the ground. "Kid!"

Kid turned around to see an orange blur coming towards him. A few second later he was on the ground with everyone surrounding him. Daijiro and Ichiro were nowhere in sight.

Liz grabbed his shoulder. "Kid. You alright?" Kid shook his head to clear it and stood up.

Stein put a steadying hand on Kid's shoulder. "Be careful. You took quite a hit." He held up a deflated basketball.

"Sorry about that. Daj's stronger than he looks." Kid turned and for the first time noticed what Ayumi was wearing. Her shirt was a boy's. It was black with dripping white lettering spelling out "cereal killer" with a white bowl with crossed spoons under it. Her jeans were loose with a large patch on the right pant leg that had a large blue koi with sideways black and white stripes. On her left arm was a long glove with black and white stripes with fingers that only went to her first knuckles. Her shoes were black and gray skateboarding shoes with long royal blue laces.

Kid grabbed her long glove and started to pull on it. "You're not symmetrical!"

"Let go!"

Kid pulled until felt raised skin against the side of his hand. There was a flash of steel and a large kitchen knife under his chin.

"Ayumi?"

Ayumi's eyes went wide and she pushed the knife into Kid's hands and stepped back. "Hey Mom."

A smartly dressed woman with platinum blonde hair went up to Ayumi, saw the deflated basketball and turned towards Ayumi with crossed arms. "Where's your brothers?"

Ayumi pointed and her mother started that way, when a cop stopped her. "Mrs. Nilima I would like to talk you and your daughter for a moment."

She waved him away. "Go ahead. I'll be back in a moment." and she left.

The cop turned towards them and Stein laughed. "Officer Mathew Fargo. Still trying to put Spirit in jail?"

Officer Fargo smirked at them. "And I may just do it." He turned towards Ayumi and held up two pill bottles. "Are these yours?"

"Do they have my name on them?"

"Yes."

Ayumi raised an eyebrow. "Then when are you asking?"

Mathew rolled his eyes and tossed the pills to her. "Do you know where we found these?"

Ayumi shook her head and popped some pills into her mouth. "No clue."

"Next to a dead body."

Ayumi looked up with wide eyes. "That thing was real? I thought..."

"That man disappeared over a decade ago."

Ayumi frowned. "No way. It looked like he was killed a few days ago. Not any decomposition." She looked down and blushed. "I like cop shows."

"His shirt was unbuttoned."

She looked away. "Scream said there was something weird on his chest."

Kid looked down, remembering.

"And what was that?"

"Names," Kid whispered under his breath. Several people stared at him.

"Barnaby Arsenio," Stein said.

The black haired police officer smirked at him. "And while he wasn't killed by the names carved into his body they do create an excellent motive, isn't that right Franken Stein, Marie Mjölnir, Joe Buttataki?"

Stein frowned at him, Marie looked like she was about to cry, and Joe put his hand on her shoulder.

"Well, isn't this interesting." They all turned behind them to see Lord Death. He looked past Officer Fargo. "Now where is she going?"

They all turned to see the Ayumi running. Mathew swore and followed the rest on his tail.

They followed her into an underground parking place when they heard two gun shots and a few moments later a squeal of tires. They raced up on to the upper level, where they found Ayumi starring at a spot on the ground, with Crona sitting across from her with Ragnarok in his weapon form.

Marie raced over to the children and kneeled down next to them. "Are you two alright?"

Ragnarok morphed into his normal form. "What'da mean 'two'?"

Marie chuckled. "Sorry Ragnarok." She turned to Ayumi with concern.

"Spirit?"

Everyone looked up to see a beautiful woman with chestnut hair.

Stein looked at her. "Spirit?"

"I was taking him to the hospital. He has a very high temperature. Half way there he took off. I tried to follow him, but I can't run in these heels," she held up black pumps. "What happened?"

"I'll tell you what happened," Ragnarok pushed down on Crona's face. "The girl ran past us and this idiot followed. These people got out of this black car, shot at her, but I deflected the bullets. The pervert got into the car and they took off."

Lord Death tilted his head. "Spirit?"

Crona nodded. "They said that if he didn't go with them they would kill us." He looked down at the space between himself and Ayumi. The blue girl had painted a picture of Spirit getting into black car. The only color in the whole picture was Spirit's hair. The paintbrush shook in her hand and tubes of paint were dumped on the ground. Her left hand was playing with one of the two necklaces she always kept under her shirt.

The woman stepped forward. "Let's get you home Ayumi."

Stein looked at her. "Who are you?"

"I'm Dr. Pristine Clarestin. I'm seeing Spirit."

"You know that he's a cheater, right?" Maka asked with crossed arms.

She nodded. "I think that he's worth it. I need to take her home," and with that they walked away.

"Well, I think that we should start tracking Spirit's soul on my mirror, and I need to talk to you three," he said looking at Stein, Marie and Joe, who followed him out the door.

Officer Fargo swore loudly and left.

"Hey guys, let's go finish our game! Yahhhoooo!" Black Star ran off with Tsubaki behind him, trying to remind him that they're ball was broken.

Maka and Soul followed them quietly.

"Hey Soul?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think that Papa's going to cheat on Dr. Clarestin?"

Soul grinned. "I don't see why. That doctor has the perfect body."

"Soul! I'm being serious! Just forget it!" she ran off with Soul following her, apologizing.

Kid stared at the painting when Liz put her half painted hand on his shoulder. "Is there something wrong?" Patti looked at him with kiddish interest.

Kid shook his head and they left.

.-*-.

Spirit's soul disappeared. They couldn't track him. The only thing they could do was hoped that he would come back alive.

.-*-.

Well, I got done with this chapter fast. Please review, if only to let me know you read this. Please?
