"Ryu, come down and introduce yourself to the class." Stein bellowed as call began Friday morning. Ryu got up, and so did Dasalis. "I said Ryu." Stein added. Dasalis kept walking beside his partner until they got to the front of the classroom. He cleared his throat and addressed the class.
"Hi. I'm Dasalis Jaegar, weapon. This is my partner, knife slash (/) dagger miester Ryu Nura. We were just upgraded from the NOT program to the EAT program. They told us we were too strong to be in NOT, haha. Ryu doesn't like to speak, or show emotion, or be around people he doesn't know. I'm very energetic, if you couldn't tell already. Since we just started out, we are currently at 7 souls and counting." Kyle looked on as the boy talked. She messed with a loose thread on her jeans. "We're hoping that we can join a group that is willing to have us and that we can make some good friends." Dasalis finished. Ryu started back for his seat when Stein rolled in front of him.
"You've been assigned a group already. You will be with Kyle and Alex. Go on and meet each other. Class, your dismissed." Everyone left, including Soul and Maka, who were holding hands, except for Kyle and Alex. They stayed in their seats.
"We met Kyle yesterday." Dasalis smiled at her. She gave him a small smile. Stein studied Ryu.
"What's up with you?" Stein asked.
"He doesn't trust people easily." Dasalis began to explain. His partner interrupted him.
"I just get this feeling when I meet people whether I can trust them or not. I only speak to those who induce that feeling."
"You trust me. Great." Stein rolled back to his desk. Dasalis and Ryu made their way to Kyle and Alex.
"You trust me." Kyle looked at Ryu.
"Yes. Very much. The feeling was great inside me." Ryu looked at Alex, who was writing something in a notebook. "I trust you too." Ryu told him. Alex looked up.
"Cool. So, where are you guys living?" Alex asked. Dasalis told his their address.
"That's a floor above us!" Kyle exclaimed. "Awesome! You know what, we should have dinner together tonight! Can we, Alex?"
"If they want to." Her partner closed his notebook.
"We'd love to, wouldn't we Ryu?" Dasalis cheered. Ryu nodded. "I'd love to help prepare the food."
"Of course you can help! It's kind of like a team-building exercise. So it is decided! Miesters will cook tonight!" Kyle pumped her fist in the air as the boys laughed.
Dasalis stirred red sauce on the stove top while Kyle sat on the counter, waiting for the pasta to drain in the sink. Alex and Ryu sat on the couch, watching TV. Dasalis whispered to Kyle.
"What weapon is he?"
"Scissors." Kyle replied, jumping off the counter to take the pasta out of the strainer.
"That's unique. Are you going to be okay being surrounded by guys all the time?" Dasalis took the sauce off its heat source and set in next to the bowl of pasta Kyle was putting down. He turned to the oven, checking the garlic bread.
"I'm used to being surrounded by boys. I was in foster care when I was little, and I had to stay in the boy section of the house. I was a major tomboy when I was little, and since my name was Kyle, they always thought I was a boy. That's why no one ever adopted me; they wanted a boy, and I wasn't a boy."
"I didn't know you were in foster care. That really sucks." Dasalis took the garlic bread out of the oven and put it down to cool. Kyle hopped back onto the counter.
"Then Alex's neighbors adopted me. They were an old couple, in their 60's. They saw me and wanted to give me a good home. I was 7, Alex was 11. The first time we met, he was messing around in his backyard, and I was sitting on the fence, watching him. He had tears in his eyes and I didn't know why. But I felt bad for that boy, the one wearing all black, messing around in his backyard, crying. I jumped off the fence and ran to him. I hugged him. And he hugged me back. That's how we met. And we were inseparable, except for when he had to go to school. Mom home-schooled me, so I never met anyone other then Alex. Well, I met a few of his friends, but they didn't like me. They teased Alex for hanging out with a little girl, but he said he'd rather hang out with me than them. And he did. And when he found out he was a weapon, he asked me to be his miester. We would practice in the woods behind our houses. Mom and Dad agreed that we should go to DWMA together and that we shouldn't wait till I got older. We passed the entrance exam with flying colors, so they had to let us in. Dinner!" Kyle added, yelling into the living room space. Alex shut off the TV and Ryu got up. The table was already set, so they served themselves and sat down. Everyone was in their school clothes.
"We don't have classes tomorrow, so do you guys want to go out and explore the city? We could go to Thrift Shops, try out cafes, look at the market." Alex asked, mixing the red sauce into his pasta. Dasalis bit into a piece of garlic bread and looked at Ryu.
"We have...plans tomorrow. Maybe another day."
"We have special team practice Sunday morning, so maybe after that." Kyle said, taking a sip of her drink. "How did you two meet?"
"Well, we originally met while playing a video game online. We found out we lived in the same town, so we met in real life at a park. After getting to know each other better, I told him I was a weapon. He agreed to be my miester, and that's when we came to DWMA." Dasalis looked at his partner again.
"Are you two gay?" Kyle asked. They looked at each other, abashed. Alex stared at Kyle.
"You don't just ask people that so bluntly, Kyle." He told her.
"Is there any other way to ask than bluntly?" Kyle looked at her partner.
"Yes, we are. Was it that obvious?" Ryu spoke up.
"The idea just popped in my head. That's awesome! I've never known a gay couple before!" Kyle finished her small portion of pasta.
"You've never known anyone but me and your parents." Alex got up to get another serving of food.
"Hungry?" Dasalis said, and everyone laughed.
"Yes." Alex's straight-forward reply made everyone laugh again.
"Canna! CANNA!" The owl screeched. The witch she was calling came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, hair dripping wet.
"What?" Canna snapped. She tugged her towel up. Nygu shifted her feet on the windowsill. She peered outside.
"There are some kids walking by. A boy carrying a girl on his back. They are going towards Death City."
"One minute." Canna ran to her room, got into a green bathrobe, and went back to the window. She opened in a crack and chanted, "Let me hear, leaf me here, ear for ear, leaf and hear." A small leaf flew out the window and stuck to the girl's neck, right under her left ear. Her blonde hair barely covered it. A flower sprung out from the ground underneath Canna. Leaning down to it, the witch heard the boy's heavy breathing, and the girls pulse. She smiled. "Hopefully they meet our friends."
"Hopefully." Nygu hooed.
"It's too early to be practicing. And it's a weekend. I don't want to be here." Dasalis whined, standing in a clearing on Sunday at 6 AM. Ryu was standing next to his partner, in his black cloak. In front of them were Kyle and Alex. Alex in his normal clothes, Kyle in a bright yellow dress, black and white horizontal striped knee-high socks, and black ballet flats. Her belt sat on her hip and her hair was in 2 pigtails on the sides of her head.
"You're going to have to get used to it. Kyle will break through your door and drag you down your fire escape to get you to practice." Alex stretched.
"I like morning practice. We get to practice with different levels of light and different temperature to make sure we are ready for every situation." Ryu said. Dasalis sighed, knowing Ryu was right.
"Fine, that's a good point, but I'm still tired." The weapon replied.
"You need to know how to fight, even when your tired. Let's do this!" Kyle spoke up, taking charge. The weapons transformed and the miesters got in their battle stances. Scissors open, Kyle charged at Ryu. Ryu dodged, jumping up and behind Kyle. The weapons kept their edges dull. After fighting each other for a good 20 minutes, they tried working together to demolish a set of rocks they had set up earlier. Ryu slashed at one rock while Kyle used her "scissor swords" to cut the other rock into 2 pieces.
"Help." They heard a weak voice coming from the trees. The miesters stopped and looked around. "Please help." They heard again. Kyle holstered Alex and walked towards where a boy with shoulder-length dark green hair came out of the forest. He had on a dirty brown tunic and was carrying a girl with blonde hair and a matching tunic. Her eyes were closed.
"What's wrong?" Kyle asked, rushing to them. Alex changed back and took the girl off the boy's back, holding her bridal style.
"You go to DWMA, right? I haven't—we haven't—been here in months. I need to get Amantha to the Infirmary and talk to Lord Death." The boy said. "I'm Bramble. Please, can we go now?" He asked weakly, and then collapsed. Ryu and the now human form Dasalis ran over. They carried Bramble, Alex carried Amantha, and Kyle took out her mirror as they ran through the forest, towards the academy. Kyle wrote on her mirror and Spirit came on the screen.
"What are you doing? It's way to early to be calling here." The death scythe spoke.
"Bramble and Amantha. Does that sound familiar to you?" Kyle said, now dashing up the steps to the school, the boys in her wake. Spirit's eyes widened.
"Death! Bramble and Amantha! Are you taking them to us?" Spirit added, asking Kyle. Kyle opened the front doors to the school, held them open for Alex, Ryu, and Dasalis.
"We're taking them to the Infirmary first. Amantha was passed out when Bramble found us, and he collapsed moments later." Kyle ran down the hallways.
"We're on our way. Death!" Spirit hung up.
What was so important about Bramble and Amantha? Why were they in tunics? What happened to them? Kyle contemplated all of this as she opened the door to the Infirmary. Nurse Medusa was leaning over the tunic-clad pair that were now on her medical beds, the paper work she had been working on discarded on her desk. She tried to open one of Amantha's eyes, but she couldn't. She started to murmur something under her breath, but stopped when Spirit and Lord Death came in.
"How long has it been since they disappeared?" Death asked Spirit.
"5 months. When they wake up they can explain what happened."
"They either ran away or were kidnapped. The rather seems much more possible, Amantha was such a good student." Death peered at the kids.
"Like my Maka." Spirit said while he clasped his hands and his eyes turned into hearts. He really loved his daughter.
"What are you talking about? Who are they? What happened to them?" Dasalis questioned the Reaper and Death Scythe.
"This is Amantha Reed and Bramble, her miester. They went missing 5 months ago. They were in the EAT program, and we don't know what happened to them." The Shinigami replied.
"You want to know, don't you?" A soft female voice said. They all looked at Amantha. Her eyes were still closed, but she sat up, her mouth moving as she spoke. "What a story, what a pain, not a pleasure to remember." She opened her eyes...they were bleach white, no semblance of color.
"What happened to you?" Nurse Medusa rose.
"It's a long story."
