A.N. Boo, so blah blah blah, here's an update. Oh, and I was thinking about doing a series of cracky one-shots for SE with Ginger, to, like, tide you guys over. Let me know what you think.
Oh, and did anyone bother with my hint?
Sazai POV
"So, you just passed out. For no apparent reason." I'm sitting in front of Stein, wearing short shorts and a tank top Yumi forced me into so we could have him 'examine' me for any issues. Thank Lord Death Stein isn't a perv.
"Yeah. This is the first time it's happened and..." I trail off, not knowing what else to say.
"Did you see anything when you passed out?" I freak out internally. What am I supposed to say, 'Well, I didn't actually 'see' anything, but there were people there talking to me and they asked a buncha weird questions like my name and where I live, then they said it'd be a long time for them to make it to the DWMA, please don't hurt me for being a dumbass when I was confused and disorientated.'? Yeah, no.
"Uhhh... no, I didn't see anything," Not lying there. "It was just dark and there was dripping water." That could be anywhere in the world, and I know he's thinking the same thing.
"Well, let me know if this happens again, and next time, go to the nurse as well. I'm not here for check-ups, I'm here to teach."
"Yes, sir."
All day, everyone gave me weird looks, like they were concerned for my health, and they treated me like I was a frail doll.
"I'm gonna go now, guys. I need some fresh air." Everyone looked worried, but I walked off, not waiting for a response. I wandered around outside until I found an old training arena. "I supposed this is part of getting fresh air." I walk in and see lots of old dummies, some completely demolished, but most were in pretty good condition. "Maybe I can train here, teach myself how to fight on my own, in case Yumi and I are separated. I could be like Justin."
First things first, I walked to the center and focused on turning my arm into a blade. At first nothing happened, but then I noticed long, thin strips sprouting from my forearms. I concentrated a little more and they started looking like the blade on my chakram. At this point, I'm panting, but there's no point in stopping. I charge at one of the dummies and make a swipe at it, dragging my blade across. I'm out of breath, my body unused to the strain it takes for partial transformation, and I slump to my knees, arms returning to normal. A long, deep cut is slashed through the dummy's chest and I feel a bit prideful.
"That was amazing." My neck snaps around, hair whipping into my eyes. It's Kiddo. "I wasn't sure how well it would work at first, but you've definitely got more strength than I gave you credit for. Bravo." He claps a bit and walks towards me. His hand reaches down, palm up, and I accept it gratefully. He pulls me up, but I'm lighter than he expected, so we go crashing to the ground, me landing on top of him. I laugh and Kid laughs, and he strokes a strand of hair out of my face, then traces my face with his index finger. "Your face is so symmetrical, yet I feel as though it'd still be beautiful if it wasn't." I blush and stare down at him. "Tell me, what do you think when you see my face."
"Umm... Handsome, caring, mature, and strong."
"Asymmetry doesn't come to mind?" He asks, voice suspicious.
"Nope, I don't even notice because I'm too busy looking into your eyes." He smiles at that and places a hand on the back of my head.
"Thank you. I find your eyes just as intriguing." Kid pulls my head down and our lips touch, and it feels magical, wonderful, indescribable.
You know how people say that a perfect kiss feels like fireworks? They're wrong.
(A.N. was going to end it here, but I love ruining scenes like this.)
"Hey! Maybe they're in this old arena! Let's go check it out!" Blackstar's high pitched voice cuts through our daze and our eyes snap open. I bolt up, getting as far away from Kid as I can in 5 seconds. He's already standing, brushing his suit off, then offering a hand to me just as our friends come in to view. "I FOUND THEM! I TRULY AM MIGHTIER THAN GOD!" Insert me throwing a rock at his head here. "OWWWWW!"
"Sazai, Kid, there you guys are! When Sazai ran off and Kid followed, we were worried when you guys didn't come back."
I nervously rub the back of my head. "Oh, well, I was just training a bit, and Kid just found me. Hehe." Yumi is giving me the look, then she exchanges looks with Liz, Patti, and Maka. Tsubaki is still tending to Blackstar.
"Suuuuure.
We're walking back to the school, when I feel 8 (Oh, gosh 8. It's an omen.) hands grab me from behind. I whirl around and face my four captors. "What do you guys want?"
Maka, Yumi, and Patti all giggle while Liz sidles up to me and wraps an arm around my shoulders. "We all KNOW something happened between you and kid, so don't even attempt to deny it. Spill, girl!" They're all grinning like the Cheshire Cat, so I sigh and give in.
"Fine. If you must know, Kid said," Insert dramatic pause. "That I was stronger than he originally thought." Heh. That disappointed them. I sprint ahead, before they can react and catch up with the others.
Point for me.
