A.N. Maka still sees herself as a girl, but she sees this Soul as a girl now. Okay. Soul still sees Maka as a guy.
Maka ran up the stairs of Shibusen. She had climbed them so many times, it didn't bother her anymore. Soul on the other hand was having a very hard time. She was only half way up, and already breathing heavy. Sweat covered her body as she crawled up the thousands of stairs. Once she finally reached the top, now sporting just her skirt and a white shirt due to the fact she had practically ripped her jacket off in the heat, she found Maka sitting in the shade of the building waiting.
"How..the hell did...you make it up...here so easily?" She questioned through breaths. Soul bent over, putting her hands on her knees. Maka simply shrugged.
"Let's just say there were a lot of stairs where I used to live." Soul walked towards the large doors behind him, grumbling to herself. Shibusen was like a huge castle made of towers and skulls. Maka stood up and followed her.
"Why are you following me?" Soul snapped while pushing on one of the doors with little luck.
"Well, you are the only person I know here so I figured we might as well stick together." He stated and then sighed." Move over." Maka stepped in front of her, and pushed on both doors. They swung open slowly to reveal a long hallway. Maka lead her into a large room filled with people. They maneuvered through the room with ease. When they finally broke through the crowd they were in front of a long table. A woman greeted them. Her hair was a dark brown, and pulled back in corn rows. Her skin was a rich dark brown, and she had on a long basketball jersey with a pair of dark jeans that were rolled at the ends and red converse. Her name tag said Sidney.
"Hello and welcome to Shibusen. Names?" Sidney asked
"Maka Albarn and..." Souls hand slammed over her mouth.
"Soul Eater." She said quickly. Sidney gave them each a tag with their names, and shoved them off.
"Why'd you do that?" Maka asked angrily while pinning the tag to her yellow sweater vest.
"I don't want everyone knowing my last name okay." Her tag was pinned to her left pocket.
"Alright, I promise I won't tell anyone then." Soul grinned up at the boy in thanks. She was starting to like having him around. The two walked in silence for a while until Sidney began to yell," Alright. All of you sit down, and stop talking." Everyone complied and soon the room was quiet.
"Welcome to Shibusen or Death Weapon Meister Academy." Sidney said." This everyone huh..." She scanned the room, hovering on Soul and Maka for a moment." I'm one of the teachers, Sidney. Today you are gathered here to get to know each other. Meisters will have to find Weapons and Weapons will have to find Meisters for themselves. Each Meister and weapon will form a bond with someone in this room. That bond is unbreakable, and defines your very being so choose carefully. I have the approximate plans printed out here so before you leave make sure grab one." At that Sidney stopped talking and motioned for them to leave. Maka stood up and grabbed a paper. it just had a list of the basic rules, sleeping arrangements, and weekly allowance. She looked up to speak to Soul, but then realized she was gone. Maka began walking around, but was soon surrounded by a small group of girls. They all looked at her with batted eyelashes and began bombarding her with questions," Are you new? Would you be my Meister? Can I be your girlfriend? Are you a Weapon?" Maka didn't like all the attention she was getting. Besides, she already knew who her partner was supposed to be. She turned down all the girls and headed straight for the music room where she knew Soul would be. She could still use Soul Perception, so it wasn't hard to find. She stopped in front of the room,and could sense her partners uncertain soul. She felt comfort from the familiarity it gave her. It was the little piece of home she had, and she wasn't going to let it slip away from her. Maka grabbed the brass handle, and gently turned it. Music poured out of the room and into the hall. The room was dark, but she didn't took a deep breath, and walked in.
Ok. That's it for now. Hope you liked it, and I apologize its sort of short. Please review ~Sky
