Woo! Three reviews … well I'd like to thank those three … THANK YOU!

Kathleen: you had pineapple again didn't you?

-all giggly- YEP!

Kathleen: Pineapple makes her crazy hyper incase ur all wondering.

Alexander: Well while she's off laughing at the blank wall, Maka-san, would you do the honors?

Maka: Gladly, Crimzon-chan DOES NOT OWN SOUL EATER OR ITS CHARACTERS ONLY THIS FANFICTION AND HER OCS. –Crimzon begins laughing like a phycopath and begins running in circles-

Soul: Shouldn't we do something?

Kathleen: Nah, let her get it out of her system.

Kat and Alex: Well enjoy!

-Kathleen's POV-

Walking all the way to the Death Room along with Soul and Maka was incredibly awkward. Every now and again Soul would shoot me and Alex a dirty look. Well at least now I know that they wont be bothering us. Last thing I needed is for them to get involved.

I began thinking back to that time.

~Flashback~

It was dark and raining outside. The sound of thunder roared throughout the house while lighting would flash at random. That lights had gone out so we were basically sitting in the dark with a few lit candles. Alex and I were playing cards when I got a weird feeling. Next thing I knew, I heard a loud screaming sound in my head and I knew that my brother had found us.

Alex and I ran out of the house and into the woods hoping to find him and put an end to all of this, little did we know that the moment we arrive, we would come apon a gruesome sight.

In the town we were staying at, two kids around our age had helped us settle in. They were also weapon and meister.

Alex and I came to a clearing and I will never forget what we saw. Our two new friends were lieing in a pool of their own blood … dead. Only a few feet away from them was my brother. He was smiling like some kind of insane phycopath.

"I'll make sure that you're completely alone little sister. This is the price you will pay when you let anyone get too close"

~end of flashback~

"Well, here we are. You want to call him Maka?" I heard Soul's voice as I came out of my memories. Maka plainly nodded and walked up to the mirror. She breathed on it and began writhing numbers with her finger.

"42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on death's door." As she said that little rhyme, the mirror began glowing and a tall shadowy figure appeard.

"Wazzup, wazzup, WAZZUP~!" he cheered all happy. "Hmm, well looks like you've all met each other already." We gave each other a look like 'we wish we hadnt'.

"Umm, Shinigami-sama, I'm sure Stein-sensei has already told you what happened right?" murmured Maka.

"Well yes and I was also watching the fight, I just thought I'd lighten up the tention between the four of you." He said, a small sweat drop falling from his mask. There was a short silence until Alex broke the silence with a blunt question.

"What is it you need from us Shinigami-sama?" asked Alex.

"Oh right, well there have been attacks on a small village up in the nearby mountains. From the looks of how the victims died, it looks like their bodies were drained of blood before their souls were consumed." The moment he said 'drained of blood' I had a hunch on who could be behind this. I felt Alex tense beside me. "It's odd though. First the victim would fall ill during the day then wonder off into the moutains late at night. I'm sending the four of you to investigate and find out who is responsible. Maka, you can detect soul's so you shouldn't have too much trouble locating him and as for you two…" he pointed on of his big white hands over and Alex and I, "It seems like some kind of 'vampire' is involved and since you both are knowledgeable about such matters, Kathleen, you're in charge."

"What? I'm not going to follow her orders!" blurted out Soul. I heard Maka sigh to herself.

"Makaa~ CHOP!" she then slammed a huge book on Soul's head, possible leaving him brain dead. "Whatever Shinigami-sama says goes, you got that?" he mearly whipered while rubbing his head.

"Well then, good luck all of you. Oh and Kathleen-san, may I speak with you in private?" Soul and Maka just walked of. Alex stayed behind for a moment.

"It's ok, go on ahead." He mearly nodded and walked off.

"Im sure you know why I asked you to stay behind."

"You mean about who the culprit might be right?" I paused for a moment to catch my breath, "Yeah, I think it's him, my brother."

"Do you think that you'll be able to go ahead with this mission?" he asked, sounding concerned.

"Yeah, I cant keep running away from this." Before I could continue, he interupted.

"Alright then. I also wanted to ask you to keep an eye on Maka for me."

"What do you mean?" I asked. What the hell does Maka have to do with any of this?

"I have a feeling that your brother may not only be after you, but Maka as well. Kathleen, if anything were to go wrong with this mission, I need you to escape from there and come back here imidiatly."

"Wait, what could Maka have that my brother is after? And if it's so dangerous for her, then why send her with us?"

"Well, isnt it obvious? Her soul. Her soul is different from other meisters. She may not realize it yet, but it is what your brother is after."

"Wait wait, you're confusing me." He sighed for a moment then continued.

"You'll find out in do time, for now, go ahead and get ready for your mission." He said.

"Shinigami-sama, may I ask?"

"Hmm?" he turned around, suddenly interested in my sudden question.

"Does Soul know about the danger Maka might be in?" it was quiet all of a sudden.

"Im leaving you in charge of telling him. The only other people that are aware of this are Stein and Spirit … well I must be leaving." And with that he left. Hmp, just like him to give somewhat vague answeres.

-General POV-

Kathleen walked down the long corridor after speaking with the Shinigami. Many questions left unanswered and nothing left but confusion. What could be so special about Maka's soul that my brother is after it? Then it hit her.

"Wait, could it be?" she blurted. Then she noticed that someone was standing right infront of her and little did she realize that he had heard the enitre conversation between her and Shinigami-sama.

"Coul it be what?" he voice sounded cold and raspy. Since she didn't answere his question, he became impacient. He walked over to her and grabbed the collar of her shirt then forced her against a nearby wall. "Tell me why your brother would be after Maka!" Soul yelled.

"Let her go Soul." Alexander walked over to Soul and grabbed his wrist, pulling him away from the girl.

"Look, I promise to explain everything to you later, but for now go and meet us at the front of the school so we can get going." She composed her self and began walking away from both of them. This is going to be very difficult.

-Alexander's POV-

"You need to be calm Soul. She'll explain it to you later …" he interupted me before I could finish.

"How the hell can I be calm about this? My meister can be in danger and you wont tell me whats going on!"

"Shut-up and be cool about this!" I blurted and noticed Soul had stepped back at my sudden outburst, "If I knew I'd tell you. For now we have to believe in what she says." I left him there as I walked after Kathleen.

-General POV-

About an hour later, the newly formed team set a course towards the nearby mountains. The two pairs kept their distance from each other and basically pretened the other wasn't there. Well, mostly Soul and Alexander ignored each other. Maka tried to make peace and become friends with them, but didn't really have any idea of what to say. Kathleen walked ahead of the three mostly keeping to herself. She thought back to her conversation with the Shinigami, trying to figure out why her brother would have any use for Maka. Not only that, but she was going to have to think of some kind of explaination for Soul. He had overheard that enitre descussion and she knew that eventually he would pry an answer from her, violently if needed.

Ugh, just when I was about to figure out what it could be that's so special about her, Soul popped out of nowhere and ruined my train of thought. She pondered for a moment, trying to collect her thoughts from earlier that afternoon, but yet to no avail, she couldn't remember.

Maka began to trail behind the others feeling a little bit of fatige, "Hey guys? Are we almost the-" Before she could finish her sentence, Maka felt a jolt of electricity pass through her causing her to become dizzy and colapse onto the ground.

"Maka!" yelled Soul as he ran to her aid. Alexander and Kathleen walked over to see what had happened to the meister.

"Seems like she has a slight fever." Murmured Kathleen. She looked around and saw some smoke rising high above the tall trees, "We're close to the village. Come on, we should get Maka somewhere safe until she's got her strength back." Without hesitation, the group began to run in the direction of the village.

Upon their arrival, dark clouds had already consumed the sky. "It'll rain soon." Whispered Alexander. The small vilage seemed like a ghost town. No one was to be found.

"My my what are ye children doing out here? Come inside quick before the rains start." (AN: that's how she talks so if there are spelling errors then that's how she sounds, kind of like Kaede from Inuyasha) And with that, they all quickly ran inside the small hut the old lady lived in.

"Do you think you can help our friend?" asked Kathleen, drying off from the rain.

"Of course, of course." The kind old lady led us to a spare bedroom and Soul tucked Maka into on of the beds. "I'll bring something for the girl." Her expression changing to sadness. She then walked out of the room.

"Whats with that lady all of a sudden?"complained Alexander. Then it dawned in him, "Guys? Remember how the dissapearences would start … each victim would fall ill then dissapear into the forest."

"No!" gasped Soul.

"We're going to hafta keep a close eye on her. I'm afraid that my brother really is the culprit behind all this."
