Author's Note: Oh My God could it be?! An Actual Chapter and Not a Story Update?! Can it really be true?! Yes. Yes it can.

I would go on to explain why this took so fucking long to update but I feel like it would be excuses. Yes for a time I was busy with Vacations, Helping out friends, and Looking for a job so on and so forth. But the real reason? One word. Procrastination. Yeah I suffer from the Procrastination habit really fucking badly. And its because of this reason that fan-fictions on my previous account stopped being updated all together. Because I would Procrastinate on it for so long I would forget the story I was going for. This is not the case for this one however. Despite it being 3 years since I put this story up (O_o damn that's a long time) I haven't forgotten what it is I am going for with this series (Yes it will be a series only God knows how long it will actually take for it to get finished.) In all Honesty though I think my Procrastination was a blessing in disguise. Why? Three reasons. One is that it was long enough for me to see the Soul Eater NOT! anime series which proved to be important info for me to know concerning this fan fiction series which I explained in detail in an Author Note Update at the bottom of Chapter 2 and changed my chapters a little bit with this information accordingly. Two is that by now the Soul Eater Manga is now finished so I can go and read it to ware it left off in the anime before the anime started doing its own thing to get more information details on the story and characters to use for this series. And finally because of reasons One and Two I was able to fix things in past chapters as well as be able to fix plot points in future chapters. Trust me if I updated this at a regular pace I most likely would have dug myself into a deep hole for future installments for this series. Yes there are hints of the planed future installments for this series. But enough about that go ahead and read on to Chapter 6!


Souls as One: Part One (Soul Eater) Rise of the Youngest Witch

Chapter 6: Rescue Team

Death City Shortly After the Attack….

When the light from the spell that was used on Maka and her team died down all the weapons and meisters looked around and saw that the Traitors did more damage than they thought when they were fighting them. Some of them sighed knowing that now the repairs to Death City and the DWMA would take longer but most were just relived no one was hurt. Those who were around to fight the NOT students who were under control of an evil witch on Halloween couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu and that something bigger was going on that they could not see.

They were not the only ones who felt this way. The Death Scythes and three star meisters couldn't help but feel something bad happened especially with the bright light. Those who were close to the main entrance could hear the fighting that was going on the roof more clearly including Lord Death and Spirit screaming Kid and Maka's names. To say they were worried was an understatement. When they saw the fighting was done the Death Scythes Marie and Azusa went back to human form and Sid with Nygus back in her human from along with Justin went over to them.

"Does anyone know what happened?" Sid asked.

"No we don't but all I do know is that Maka and the other students must have been in danger! I know you all must have heard Lord Death and Spirit call out Maka and Kid's names! What if something horrible happened to them?! That bright light can't have been from anything good! I knew we shouldn't have let them go up there!" Marie practically shouted in a panic.

Stine put his hand on her shoulder "Calm down Marie panicking isn't going to help matters besides we haven't gotten word yet of what did happen but I'm sure they will tell us soon". Stine said this to try and calm Marie down but honestly he was worried just as much as she was but knew he had to stay calm.

"Stine is right Marie even if something did happen to them we can't go into a panic about it. For that's what the enemy would WANT us to do" added Azusa.

"You don't get it Azusa! You are not a teacher to them like Stine and I are! You don't know them like we do!" Marie shouted.

"Now calm down yelling is not going to get us any ware" Nygus said trying to calm her down.

"Not only that but you should have a bit more confidence in our students. Don't forget when I was alive I was a teacher here myself for a lot longer then you or Stine have been Marie. I even practically raised Black Star myself when he came here as a baby. I know his and the other students skills even if they did get into danger up there I am sure they can handle it after all this is the same group that defeated the Kishin." Sid added.

"But-"Marie was about to say.

"No Buts Marie. We need to stay calm…for all the other students' sakes. Not everyone heard the fighting like we did if we go into the panic then all the other students will panic as well" Stine explained having taken out a cigarette to smoke to calm himself down.

Marie sighed in defeat and tried her best to calm down.

Just then they saw Mifune walk over to them from the main entrance carrying Angela he had a very serious look on his face and he also looked a bit worried putting the others a bit on edge.

Justin was the one who spoke up "What's going on Mifune?"

"Lord Death has requested for Stine and all the Death Scythes to come with me to talk to him in the Death Room. In the meantime Sid and Nygus we need you to look after Angela the other School Teachers and students should be able to help clean up the mess from the attack with help from the citizens." Mifune explained putting down Angela while doing do.

Nygus nodded "Understood come along with us Angela" she said holding out her arms for the little witch. Angela went over to her with no compliant and the two of them left with Sid.

"The rest of you come with me" Mifune said and turned to go back inside with Stine and the Death Scythes right behind him. Blair the Cat couldn't help but overhear their conversation who was nearby having been knocked out for a short time by the Mizune sisters who have sort of an ongoing rivalry with her. Worried for the kids mainly Maka, Soul and Crona she followed them in cat form to the death room.

The Death room…

After the fight on the roof Lord Death and Spirit took Ox and his team to the death room. Ox and his team were on edge after seeing what just happened. Not only were they worried for Maka and the others but they could tell that Lord Death and Spirit were very worried but more importantly vary angry. They have never seen the two of them act so serious before. Of course they were sure that they have been serious in situations like this before like the battle against Arachnophobia but even then the two of them were never THIS tense. Ox could only figure that the main reason is that Maka and Kid are Lord Deaths son and Spirits daughter so it would only make sense that the two of them would be worried for their children and angry at the one who put them in danger. Needless to say Ox and the others didn't want to be Shaula right now.

"Now then I will explain to you kids what happened up there but we need to wait for Mifune and the others first" Lord Death said calmly.

"We understand sir" answered Ox.

Death looked over to Spirit "Now Spirit when the others get here I need you to stay calm so we can talk about what we should do next. I know you are worried about Maka just as I am worried about my own son Kid but if you go into a rage rant about the spell Shaula used it won't get us any ware" he explained calmly.

Spirit looked up at Lord Death. Truth is if it was anyone else who told him that he would have went off on them but he didn't for three reasons. One was that Death was his meister and boss so talking back to him wouldn't have been a good idea in the first place. Two was that Death was right about him going on a rage rant wouldn't help the situation at all. But most importantly Death was in the same position that he was in. After all not only was his daughter Maka taken but so was Death's son Kid. So he was sure that keeping his anger and worry in check was just as hard for Death as it was for Spirit. He didn't trust speaking at the moment so he instead simply nodded to show Death that he understood.

"Good" Death simply said in response to Spirit nodding to him.

Just then Mifune, Stine and the Death Scythes came in with Blair as a Cat following shortly behind and hide behind one of the pillars away from the others. Stine looked over to Spirit and saw he was far more serious than normal and so was Lord Death. He couldn't help but have a bad feeling about what this was all about.

"I got them here just as you asked Lord Death" Mifune said.

"Thank you Mifune. Now then I need you all to pay attention to everything I'm about to tell you for we cannot afford to waste time." Death said seriously catching everyone's attention. "The one behind the Traitors attack is Arachne and Medusa younger sister Shaula" with Lord Death's statement the others were shocked.

Stine couldn't help but have his eyes widen. He remembered Shaula or more specifically the NOT students attack she had done on Halloween. He was not a teacher at the time nor did he partake in the main fighting but he did help make some medicine to help the NOT students get free from the control and even gave one to a couple of NOT students who needed it to save their friend who was under Shaula's control. Even before that he had treated another student who suffered from Shaula's control a few weeks prior to the main attack. The last he heard was that Shaula was killed and defeated by the same NOT students who he gave the medicine to so they could save their friend. At the time he thought that it was all he was going to do for the DWMA who knew that it was only just the beginning but he thought that the Shaula chapter was done. Guess he was wrong.

"Hold on. Arachne and Medusa have a younger sister? Why were we not told of this?" Asked Azusa.

"Because we thought that she was dead. A group of NOT students had went after her and successfully defeated her and they had gotten a soul in the process. However it was a kishin soul they got. At the time we were surprised when they came up and gave it to us telling us it was Shaula's but we were also suspicious for even though we have confidence in the students here a witch like Shaula being killed by NOT students was hard to swallow. So Lord Death tested the soul and we believed that it was Shaula's for she had used a spell to make the soul pass as her own." Spirit explained.

"So in other words she tricked you. I could understand you being fooled Spirit but she tricked you as well with this Lord Death?" Azusa asked.

"The spell she had used was very advanced plus at the time I was more worried about the students so that effected my judgement. I do feel like this attack was partly my fault if I had paid more attention to that soul's wavelength I would have seen it was not Shaula's…" Lord Death admitted.

"You shouldn't blame yourself Lord Death…you know more than any of us that witches can be very tricky" Marie admitted to try and make her boss feel better.

"Marie is right sir. No one is perfect" Azusa added.

Stine took out another cigarette and as he started to smoke he asked what was on his mind since he got into the Death room "One thing I got to ask…why are Ox and his team here?". Once Stine pointed that out they saw that Ox and the others were in fact there staying silent waiting for their moment to talk.

"Now that you mention it why are you kids here?" Marie asked.

"We're here because we were on the roof when…when Maka and her team disappeared" Ox answered.

"WHAT?!" Marie practically shouted as the other adults had their eyes widen while Stine put his hand on Marie's shoulder to calm her down while blowing out a puff of smoke from his cigarette.

"And Lord Death took us here to explain to us and you guys what had exactly happened and what spell Shaula used on them" Kilik added.

Marie was starting to panic and was trying real hard to calm down. Little did she know the other adults were trying to do the same as her including Blair who was still keeping herself hidden.

Justin was the first to speak "So great Lord Death…what was the spell she used?"

"A witch territory spell" Lord Death simply answered with a serious voice with Spirit tensing up beside him.

All the adults in the room (Blair Included) paled a bit and tensed up even Justin who had taken out his headphones to hear Lord Death's answer seeing that the situation was serious. The kids however were confused or at least…most of them were. Kim had paled more than the adults did and if anyone paid attention they would have seen that she looked scared as well. The only one who noticed this was her weapon partner Jacqueline or as her friends called her Jackie. Only Jackie knew of Kim's secret but with how things are going judging by the look on Kim's face it may not stay that way for long which worried her.

Lord Death took a deep breath and started to explain "Shaula while not as powerful as her sisters she is powerful enough to make what is called a witch territory. A witch territory in the simplest terms is the magic surrounding a person, group or place that a witch has mainly used for spells, plots and experiments for a long period of time so much so that it makes a magic force field around it that only other witches can detect. Now normally witch territories are harmless that normal people can't see them and are used for witches to show what is 'theirs' in fact there is a rule that all witches must follow if one witch goes into another witches territory and harms it in anyway no matter if it's just one person or a place then the witch who owns that territory can punish the one invading it. However just making a witch territory is extremely rare for them only the most powerful of witches can make them. The spell Shaula used on my son and his team basically sends them to a witch territory of her making. Once they get there they are all fair game to her and she can do whatever she wants to do to them…and they will not be able to contact those outside the territory to get help and any info about Kid and the others cannot be reached inside the territory leaving them completely venerable."

Everyone in the room fell silent once his explanation was finished. Kim bit her lip she knew what Shaula could do to them once they get to her territory and it would not be pretty. For all witches knew about witch territories and the rules when it comes to them…as well as the spell Lord Death just described. It was the one thing she feared the most during her time with the other witches so she made sure to stay clear of them especially the more powerful ones. She also knew that only other witches could detect them not miesters and not weapons…she looked over to Jackie and did a simple nervous nod. Jackie's eyes widened knowing what Kim meant by the nod. If Kim was going to do what she was thinking then the spell must be bad. Jackie couldn't help but shake a bit at that. Ox and Harvar couldn't help but notice the girl's strange behavior but decided not to comment on it for the moment.

Meanwhile Blair by this point who was still hiding was shaking. She wasn't a witch but she had been mistaken as a witch plenty of times before which is how she met Maka and Soul in the first place but not only that…witches have a tendency to take control of cat monsters like her and use them and their magic for their own means. When she was young she herself was used by a witch and it wasn't till she became strong enough to get free from that witches control that she got away and got her own place. After she met Maka and Soul she followed them to Death City to live with them for she took a liking to them. They were not only funny and in Soul's case cute but she could tell they were good kids and wouldn't use her like that witch did. She knew what it felt like to have her free will taken and used and she knew that could happen to the kids in that witch territory. She decided to wait for the right moment to let her presence be known so she can lend in a helping hand. For there was no way she was going to sit by and watch with Maka, Soul and Crona in danger.

Once Lord Death Saw that all the info about it sunk in he started to speak again "With that being said I believe that what she did with them with this spell was the main reason for the attack with the Traitors being a diversion. However I also believe that this is only the beginning and that she only did this to get Kid, Maka and their team out of the way. As well as having a ransomed over Spirit and I with our children on the line giving her the advantage." Spirit couldn't help but clench his teeth and fists hearing Death say the last part outload.

"So what is it that we should do in light of these events Lord Death?" Azusa asked.

"We need to prepare defenses for the DWMA for this will not be the only time Shaula will attack us as well as prepare an attack plan when she does attack the DWMA again. As for the kids we can't search for them out in the open otherwise she will hurt them making it harder for us however I do plan on sending a small group out to search for them in secret with a witch to help find the territory the kids are trapped in." Lord Death explained then looked over to Mifune. "Mifune I trust you to lead the group to find the kids. Since you have been around witches for a long time now having guarding Angela during that time before coming to the DWMA with her. You would know the most likely places a witch territory would be as well as what witch would be willing to help us find them."

Mifune nodded "I Understand. I want to find them just as much as anyone else. For while I haven't been here long I do care about all the students here. Black Star and Tsubaki in particular are important to me having watching them grow stronger through our battles against one another when I was forced to work with Arachnophobia for Angela's safety."

Blair took a deep breath and chose this moment to make her presence known transforming herself back into her human form in a puff of purple smoke and came out of hiding. "If it's not too much trouble. I would like to join the search".

Everyone with the expiations of Lord Death, Stine and Mifune were surprised to see her there.

"What the…Blair?! What are you doing in here?" Spirit asked being the one to know her most in the room through their respect for one another with occasional playful flirting and close relationships with Maka.

"Well when Death City was under attack by the Traitors, Arachnophobia survivors and Medusa's formal small group I was fighting the Mizune sisters like I did the night the Kishin revived. They knocked me out after a bit but I woke up just in time to overhear Stine and the others talking about Maka, Soul, Crona and the other kids being in danger so I followed them as a cat into the death room to find out what was going on." Blair explained.

Stine looked over to Blair "You followed us and want to help because of your close relationship with Maka, Soul and Crona don't you". Stine stated not surprised to find her there.

Blair couldn't help but slightly blush at being caught but nodded and answered anyway "Yes".

"You knew she followed us Stine?" Marie asked for she could tell he was not surprised Blair was there in the least.

"I sensed her following us but I didn't think it was a big deal to point out. Since Mifune didn't say anything I kept my mouth shut because I knew he could tell she was following us as well" Stine explained.

"I don't mind her joining in. Even though she's not a witch she does have magic that would be of help in the search." Mifune stated in Blair's favor.

Blair looked up at Lord Death nervously "Please let me do this…Maka, Soul and Crona are good kids along with their friends…I don't want to just sit by and watch this time…not when I know what could happen to them in a witch territory…" she admitted.

Lord Death was a bit surprised by that last statement "Have you been taken under control by a witch Blair?"

Blair couldn't help but flinch "Yes…It wasn't till I learned how to use my own magic that I was able to get away from her. That's why I didn't hesitate to help Crona out when he moved in after what he'd been through with Medusa".

Lord Death sighed "I can't say that I'm surprised I have heard witches take advantage of your race due to the magic you can do. If you are so determined you may join Mifune in the search as he said your help would come in handy".

Blair smiled gratefully "Thank you Lord Death".

It was then that Azusa spoke up "I don't mean to be rude but even with Blair in the search party she can't replace a real witch to be able to sense what witch territory the kids might be in".

Justin nodded "I'm afraid she's right oh great lord Death. And Little Angela is much too young to try not to mention it would be too dangerous for her" he added.

Mifune then spoke up "And I'm afraid there are not many witches that would be willing to help without a price".

Lord Death nodded "I'm well aware of that Mifune but there's not much choice in the matter".

Kim took a deep breath and chose that moment to speak "If I may…I can help with that". Everyone looked over to Kim a bit surprised while her team mates with the exception of Jackie were confused.

"What do you mean Kim?" Ox asked.

Jackie took Kim's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze to reassure her.

"What I mean is…I know a witch that would be willing to help" She admitted trying to keep herself from showing how nervous and scared she was.

"Wait seriously? How? We never heard you knew a witch" Stated Kilik in surprise.

"Because…I am that witch" Kim answered as she held Jackie's hand tighter and released her Soul Protect to prove her point to the skilled misters in the room.

Needless to say everyone was silent with shock. Even Lord Death was shocked. He sensed that her soul was different but he never pinpointed that her soul was that of a witch. However it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. She was using Soul Protect.

"I see…" Was all Lord Death said as he processed what she just told him.

Spirit couldn't help but sigh "Kim you know what we will have to do now that you just admitted this to us".

Kim nervously nodded seeing ware he was going with this.

"…but we did agree to let Angela stay here who we are still trying to figure out how to keep her from becoming a threat when she gets older and you haven't done anything to betray us…what do you think Lord Death?" Spirit asked.

Lord Death said nothing.

Kim started to get nervous and began to explain herself "I'm different from other witches…I don't have the destructive need to destroy things and hurt people because I'm not effected by the Pull of Magic that cause witches to WANT to cause more destruction. Instead I specialize in Regeneration Magic…which is healing magic. With it not only can I heal others I can restore things to their former way…as well as restoring people out of Madness like the Anti-Demon Wavelength and the Healing Wavelength can. I even did my magic on any student I saw madness effecting in secret when the Kishin was still alive. It was because of all this that I was kicked out of the witch community in the Witch's Realm which worked fine for me so I ran away. I hated the world of witches…and thought that if I was at the DWMA I could cut my ties to being a witch…which has worked for the most part but if Maka and the others are trapped in a witch territory…then I'm willing to go back to my roots and help find them. I'll even help Angela out by teaching her Regeneration Magic so she doesn't get effected by the Pull of Magic when she gets older." When she finished she caught her breath from speaking so fast and kept her ground as she waited for Lord Death's response.

"…Alright then" Lord Death simply said.

Kim and Jackie couldn't help but feel like giant question marks were above their heads. "Alright then what?" Kim asked nervously.

"You can go with Mifune and Blair to help find them. Also you don't have to be so nervous I have no intention of kicking you out of here Kim. It's clear you're no threat to us or the public and as Spirit said you haven't done anything to betray us. Besides Crona and Angela were accepted here at the DWMA despite their circumstances and you have been here longer then they have. So what made you think I would punish you or kick you out simply because you were born a witch?" Lord Death explained.

Kim couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Here was the great Shinigami Lord Death the one the witches feared most including the Grand Witch Maba herself. Yet here he was saying he wasn't going to harm her just because she was a witch.

"Despite what you have heard Kim I do know that Good witches exist even though they are harder to find now than they were many years ago. I had been friends with one years ago back before the DWMA was created. So I can tell the difference between a good witch and a bad one." Lord Death explained.

Everyone including Spirit couldn't help but be surprised by this "Hold on you were friends with a witch? You never told me that" Spirit said.

"There are some things I don't talk to others about as much is all Spirit. Also this Regeneration Magic of yours could be very useful. Does anyone else know you are a witch outside of this room?" Lord Death asked.

Kim shook her head "The only one I told before now is my Weapon Partner Jackie"

"And I promised not to tell anyone after she told me. And I kept my Promise" Jackie added.

Lord Death Nodded "Very well then. You along with your Weapon Partner Jackie here will be going with them for the search however I want you to keep using your Soul Protect. Blair can pose as the witch in the group since not everyone knows she is a Cat Monster and not a witch outside of Death City. This will keep you protected do you understand?"

"Yes Sir" Both Kim and Jackie replied.

"If they are going then we are going with them" Ox Suddenly stated.

"You don't have to do that Ox" Kim said.

"And leave you my dear Kim on a dangerous mission? I don't think so" Ox replied.

"You two are our team mates were not going to let you do this on your own" Harvar added.

"Besides all of DWMA students stick together remember? We want to help find Maka and her team just as much as you two do" Kilik stated with Pot of Fire and Thunder nodding in agreement.

"…You guys are not going to take no as an answer are you?" Kim said with a bit of a smile.

"Nope" they all stated at once.

Kim and Jackie couldn't help but shake their heads a bit. Kim turned to Lord Death "Is that Okay Lord Death? Knowing them they will just sneak off and join us latter anyway".

"Hm…I guess its okay" Lord Death Answered.

"Now hold on a minute!" Marie suddenly yelled. "I understand why Kim and Jackie need to go with them. But having the whole group go is too dangerous! We have enough students in danger as it is!"

"I understand your worry Marie. But it is like Kim said they will most likely sneak off and do it anyway. This way they have my blessing while doing so. And besides that they will have Mifune and Blair to keep them safe. I have confidence they will be fine as long as we don't make their search public." Lord Death replied.

"But-"before Marie could say more Stine but his hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

"They will be fine Marie. Have faith in them" Stine simply stated.

Marie sighed in defeat and said nothing.

"As for our defense plan against future attacks we need to find out more about Shaula and plan accordingly. Also once she makes her demands known we need to make sure she doesn't figure out that we are sending a search party out to find Kid and the others. I would have one of you Death Scythes go with them but it might give away what it is they are doing if one of you goes with them. With that being said I will make the rest of the Death Scythes aware of what is going on and tell them to be on the lookout for our little search party group and help out if they can." Lord Death finished.

"Understood sir" Azusa responded while everyone else nodded. While Marie wanted to object and volunteer to go on the search team she understood why Lord Death was hesitant to do so. For it would be an obvious flag for Shaula to spot so she kept her feelings to herself.

"Now with all of that settled Mifune I want you, Blair and the kids to prepare yourselves. Pack anything that's necessary and make sure to leave by tomorrow morning before Shaula may suspect something". Lord Death explained.

Mifune nodded "Understood".

"Alright everyone is dismissed for now. I will call you all back in again once we have more information about Shaula" Lord Death said dismissing them.

Once everyone left Spirit couldn't help but look back up to Lord Death "What do you think she will do to them? To Kid and my baby girl Maka?"

Lord Death turned around to look through the Mirror to see how Death City was dealing with the new damages "I don't know…but once Kid and the others are out of harm's way…I will make sure she will pay" he said with a serious voice.

Spirit couldn't help but pail slightly knowing that Lord Death was very angry. He would be far more intimidated if it wasn't for the fact that he was in the same boat as Lord Death was.

"You go ahead and help them out Spirit…I need a little alone time to think" Lord Death said with the same serious voice but this time more…sad then angry.

Understanding Spirit nodded and left the Death room without saying another word.

Some ware in Death City…

Mifune made sure to tell Blair and the others to go home and pack whatever they may need for the search. He knew it could take a long time to find them with the witch territory being any ware in the world in any country so they needed to be prepared for anything. When he got over to Angela and told her he was going to be gone for a while she was rather upset not wanting him to go. He couldn't help but smile despite being a witch Angela was just as innocent as any child. He also couldn't help but feel a strong sense of hope knowing that witches can live in the DWMA and even be a meister if they wanted to thanks to Kim. Now he understood why Kim also felt a close bond to Angela besides Tsubaki and even Black Star because she was a witch too. After making sure Angela was going to be taken care of by Sid and Nygus he made sure to head to the apartment Lord Death had given him and Angela and pack his own weapons and necessities. He was surprised however when he saw Blair getting some things no doubt what she was going to bring for the search. It wasn't that he never seen her shopping before but this time he could tell she was a bit nervous. She was brave to volunteer to join the search to help find Black Star and his team as well as to admit that she had a bad past with a witch but with seeing her so nervous it became clear that she was not use to being in battle.

"Are you alright Blair?" He asked.

Blair couldn't help but jump a bit. She had been on edge ever sense she left the DWMA thinking about what Maka, Soul, Crona and the others could be going through. It brought back memories of her time with the witch that had used her when she was younger. She sighed in relief when she saw it was Mifune.

"Oh Hi Mifune. I'm alright why do you ask?" she replied.

Mifune couldn't help but frown "You seem to be a bit nervous is everything okay?" he asked.

Blair was about to say that she was fine but saw that being the smart man that he is most likely wouldn't believe her so instead she decided to tell him the truth.

"Well to be honest I am a bit nervous. I've never done anything like this before. It took all the magic I had to escape the witch that had tortured and used me when I was younger. After that I only really used my magic for transformation between my cat and human forms and for self-defense. As well as little things like levitation. That's why I stayed on the sidelines when the DWMA fought against Arachnophobia. But knowing what Maka and the others could be going through right now…it scares me because I know what could happen to them in the witch territory." At this Blair looks down and wraps her arms around herself "And I'm worried I won't be much help with this…that I'll only be slowing everyone down…but I can't just sit and wait at the apartment…I can't."

Mifune gently placed his hand on her shoulder "Listen to me when I say this…I KNOW you will be a big help. I have seen cat monsters before they may not be as strong as witches but it's not that much of a difference between the two. That's why witches take advantage of your kind in the first place because they know they can use your magic along with their own if they strike fear into you. Because of this cat monsters are few and far in between and if there are more of them they are most likely all in hiding. The fact that you were able to escape the witch that tormented you speaks volumes of how strong you really are. You need to have more confidence in yourself Blair. Do you understand?"

Blair couldn't help but look back up at him and smile "Yeah I understand. Thank you."

Mifune smiled back and took his hand off her shoulder "You're welcome Blair."

Blair having gotten what she needed turned around to head back to the apartment she stayed at with Maka, Soul and Crona when she saw Mifune pick up one of her bags. "You don't need to do that" She said "I was just going to use my levitation magic to carry those" she pointed out.

Mifune smiled "It's no trouble. Besides I don't mind the small detour."

Blair couldn't help but playfully smirk at him "Well aren't you just the gentleman. I bet you use that on every girl you meet huh?" she said in a teasing manner.

Mifune couldn't help but lightly blush "No not really" he said as he walked with her to her apartment "It's just the polite thing to do. Besides I never really had time for dating."

Blair couldn't help but look at him surprised "Really? How come?"

"Even before I met Angela I would be hired for various missions and jobs so dating was the last thing from my mind at the time. Not only that but after I met Angela I knew that dating would be near impossible since anyone I met would judge Angela for being a witch." Mifune explained.

Blair smiled "Well that's not the case anymore. Angela is loved by almost anyone who has met her not to mention that since she has approval of Lord Death no one would dare harm her and live afterwards. So after all of this is over you should consider looking around and find someone you enjoy spending time with." Her smile became cat like "Who knows maybe you met this future girl already and just don't know it".

Mifune couldn't help but chuckle "We'll see. First things first we have to find Black Star and the others."

By then the two of them got back to Blair's apartment. "Thanks for the help. Were supposed to meet up at 6am at the DWMA main entrance right?"

Mifune nodded "That's right. Get as much sleep as you can alright?"

Blair did a cat like smile up at him "You got it. See you in the morning Mifune." With that she took her bags and went inside. Mifune couldn't help but smile and walk off as soon as she got inside with his hands in his pockets. For a monster cat who likes to tease a lot from what he heard from Spirit and a few others she was rather nice. Blair had similar thoughts about Mifune and prepared herself for the long road ahead.

DWMA Girls' Dormitory…

As for Kim she was also a bit nervous like Blair but for different reasons. She had left the witch world behind her for a while now. While she was relieved that Lord Death, The Death Scythes, Stine, Mifune, Blair and her team still accepted her after finding out she's a witch the same couldn't be said about the rest of the DWMA teachers and students. Not only that but like Blair she never did something like this before. Even some of the most experienced witches have trouble locating other witches territories and while she will have Blair to help her she was worried that it wouldn't be enough.

"Are you alright Kim?" Jackie asked with a concerned look.

"Oh I'm okay…just nervous and worried is all" Kim answered.

"Don't worry with everyone working together I know we will find Maka and the others." Jackie reinsured her.

"I Hope so" Kim replied.

When the two girls got inside the Dormitory they were surprised to see Tsugumi Harudori there with her two Meisters Meme Tatane and Anastasia Yngling. She was the only weapon they knew who had more than one meister she even had a third temporary meister by the name of Ao Hoshino who helped her out in their classes during the autumn and winter when Meme and Anastasia would not be available due to circumstances. They were still NOT students but they had been through there own tough battle against Shaula herself back before the mess with the other two Gorgon sisters and the Kishin Asura had taken place.

The three girls having noticed Kim and Jackie come in they got up from the sofa they were sitting on and ran over to them.

"The Attack that happened today. They were the Traitors weren't they?" Anastasia asked.

"Was it Shaula?" asked Tsugumi.

Jackie held up her hands in defense "Wow wow hold on there. Calm down."

"We recognize what happened today. It was just like Shaula's attack on Halloween with the NOT students" Meme added.

"Please just tell us the truth. Was it Shaula is she still alive?" Tsugumi asked.

Jackie was about to say something but Kim put her hand on Jackie's shoulder and sighed "let's tell them the truth Jackie…if anyone knows anything about Shaula here its these three after what she put them through".

Jackie sighed "Very well then. I'm afraid its true Shaula is still alive and she with the Traitors help as well as Medusa's former allies and the remainder members of Arachnophobia attacked the DWMA and Death City."

The three girls became cast fallen and looked down.

Anastasia couldn't help but have her fists tighten "Why…why is she still alive?! We killed her didn't we?! We killed her to save Meme and Death City why is she back?!" she said in distress.

"We should have known it wouldn't have been that easy considering who her sisters are…but we tried our best…" Meme said with tears coming.

"But it wasn't good enough…" Tsugumi added.

Kim frowned "Now don't say things like that. You guys injured her so bad that its only now that she's come back and that's saying something especially for NOT students."

"Not only that but it was at the time when you guys just figured out how to fight together and that makes it even more impressive." Jackie added.

"But still…" Tsugumi trailed off.

"Listen don't worry. Lord Death is working on a way to end Shaula once and for all" Jackie said to cheer the girls up.

"Okay…also are you two alright we know that you guys and your team along with Maka's team were fighting on the roof ware we heard Lord Death had headed towards the battle." Anastasia asked.

"We are okay. But we need to pack up and rest up for an important mission tomorrow" Jackie answered.

"Something to do with Shaula right?" Meme asked.

Kim nodded "Yes but we can't say what it is for its top secret but considering your past with Shaula I'm sure Lord Death will tell you about it if you ask him. But for now don't worry too much about it and get some rest okay?"

"Okay…" Tsugumi agreed with the other two nodding.

"You guys go get some rest alright? Come on Jackie" Kim stated as she went up the stairs to her and Jackie's room. Jackie nodded and followed. Meanwhile Tsugumi and her meisters went to their own room worried about what will happen with Shaula now being back.

"I'm not too surprised that Tsugumi, Anastasia, and Meme had put two and two together with what happened." Jackie stated as she packed.

"I agree and while I think the less information they know the safer they will be I think they have a right to know whats going on to a degree since they had fought Shaula in the past" Kim admitted.

"Is that why you told them to ask Lord Death for details?" Jackie asked.

Kim nodded "Yeah I figured he would know what's safe to tell them and what's not." Once she had everything packed she got into bed. Once she saw Jackie get into bed she couldn't help but say "Thanks for helping me keep calm back in the Death room…"

Jackie smiled knowing Kim meant when she had to tell them she was a witch to join the search party "You're welcome that's what partners are for". With that being said they went to sleep hoping that everything would work out and that Maka and the others are safe. Who knows maybe finding them won't be so hard? It couldn't be that hard...could it?


Authors Note: And that is Chapter 6. I'm no longer going to say if the next chapter is going to come soon or not because of the Procrastination Habit I explained above. The next chapter will come when it comes. And yes I know this is a bit of a slow chapter like the previous one on the Soul Eater side of things but things need to be set up before they get thrown into action. I wasn't originally going to give Blair a big role but I decided "Oh what the hell she deserves some spotlight like Mifune does" plus its not out of character considering that in the Manga she does undercover missions for the DWMA. The next Chapter will be with the kids in Hinamizawa like I said we are going to switch back and forth between the two perspectives every other chapter. Have a Good Day Everyone!

Authors Note Update: Yeah I know no new chapter yet. But there is a bit of new material. I wasn't quite satisfied with the chapter length so I decided to add a couple of parts that would have originally been in Chapter 8 being Mifune and Blair seeing each other before going to there apartments and Kim and Jackie going to the girls dormitory running into Tsugumi,Meme and Anastasia. For those of you who don't know they are the protagonists of the Soul Eater NOT! series. And yes they will have a role to play but it will be minor compared to everyone else.
