"A sound 'soul' rests within sound mind and sound body"
"The Technical School for Reaper Armsmasters. In short... The 'Shibusen'. Operating from the deepest recesses of all the corners of the world, in order to prevent the second coming of the Demon God, who would bring about the destruction of all existence and envelop mankind within the spirals of madness, the Shinigami established this agency of weapons and those that would be trained to wield them."
"TO PUT IT BLUNTLY! It's an organization of justice to protect peace, but... Why is it a trade school of all things? Well, who cares. All right then, let's get all hyped up and read on!"

"~Nya~" the soft purring of a content cat sounded off, as the feline rested ontop of her lover's hat while being scratched by said lover. Enjoying how his fingers played and scratched her belly while Naruto walked across town and towards Shibusen. "Mmm... You sure know how to treat a girl Naru-koi" Blair meowed softly, her head dipping a little as Naruto's hand came up to scratch under her chin, "Really know how to treat a girl, Nya~"
Chuckling softly, Naruto stopped his scratching, ignoring Blair's disappointed whine "Now-now my little kitten, I'm late enough as it is for class... having spent the entire morning with you and spoiling you rotten, ne?" chuckling again when he felt Blair moving ontop of his hat, almost picturing the arms-crossing and pouty face that she was most likely making.
"No fair! Why did you tell Shinigami-sama to enrol you in Shibusen!" turning her body around enough so that she can dip her head below the rims of his hat and stare at his face, "If you go to the Academy... I won't get as much cuddle-time as I want!" she whined, getting a laugh and smile from Naruto as he patted Blair on the head.
"You sure do love to monopolise me don't you Blair-chan" getting a mock-pout from the cat, "But think of it this way... we may get less 'cuddle-time' as you say, but now we get to spend more time on missions, since Chichiue also included you on the list." Bringing a hand up to his chin in thought, "I think that small part was Chichiue's way for you to make sure I don't go after Soul... Smart-ass father..." he could swear he could hear his father laughing when he muttered that last part.
Giggling lightly, Blair gazed back down at Naruto's face, "I guess it is... Why Do you want to harm Soul-kun anyways Koi?" Blair tilted her head, "I know he can be... troublesome... at times, but he means well, and has kept me satisfied with the amount of easy-teasing I got to do to him" giggling again at remembering all the times she had sent the 'Cool' guy flying via nose-bleed.
Naruto scowled, "I'm mad at him for eating your soul Blair..." Blair listened intently, as Naruto only said her name without any form of affectionate suffix when he was serious. "No matter if he is a good person or not, he ATE your SOUL" bringing his hands together as he cracked his knuckles, "I'm gonna make him pay for that!"
Sighing at her easily angered love, "Koi... I'm a cat, I got multiple souls, so don't worry about it" Patting him on the head, "And besides... when Shinigami-sama confiscated all of Soul-kun's and Maka-chan's collected souls, he returned mine back to me... so I got all Nine back, no biggie, right?" she tried reassuring her love. After a while staring at him, he finally relented and crossed his arms with a huff.
"Fine... I won't kill him..." Looking at the still grinning cat from the corner of his eye, "But I can maim him right?" he asked hopefully, only to get a deadpanned look from his kitty-cat love. "... No..." she said, getting another huff from Naruto.
Reaching the steps of Shibusen, Blair relaxed once more on Naruto's hat as her love walked up towards the Academy... neither one knowing of the fight that was currently escalating at the top and the crowd they had gathered.
-X-X-X Na-Soul-Ru-Eater-To X-X-X-
Charging at back of Kid, Soul with his arm transformed to that of his scythe-blade made an attempt at taking Kid out by surprise. Not even glancing behind, Kid blocked the blade with Liz's Gun form. "What the..!" This caught Soul by surprise, but that quickly went into shock as Kid thrust Patti's gun form into his gut at point blank.
Click...
Groaning in pain, as a burst of black-ish red static of power erupted from the gun, into his body and out of his back. The burst of energy sending Soul flying back into the ground several feet away from Kid... his body still, as Kid stood up. A twitch from Soul's body came, and just as quickly as it came he started writhing in pain. Rolling back and forth while cradling his stomach from where he got shot, "Christ that hurt...!"
Patti's laugh was heard over Soul's cries, as Liz's voices came as well to elaborate on what just happened, "We're different from ordinary guns that just shoot bullets. We shoot a compressed wavelength of our master's soul!"
As the fight continued, the wheel-chair of Stein came rolling out of the Academy, followed closely by his students to watch the fight. "Oh my... Well, they should have picked a different opponent" he commented seriously in his usual lazy way, yet intrigued all the same.
"Professor Stein, is that boy holding the guns who everyone is talking about?" Maka asked, as she stood behind with Tsubaki next to her. Despite knowing the seriousness of this fight, Maka was also intrigued by it since if the rumours were true, then it was a golden opportunity to witness a fight that involved Kid in it.
"Hai" a smile came upon Stein's face, "One of the sons of Shinigami, Death the Kid. It was his wish to be enrolled here at Shibusen, but... His abilities tower over anyone else here." This earning surprised looks of awe and fear from numerous of the students that heard. As the fight continued, an idea came to Stein, "Oh, my dear soul-seeing Maka-san?" getting said girl's attention, though hesitatively since Stein said it in a creepy sort of way, "I have a special lesson planned for you." Black Star launched a round-house kick at Kid, but Kid jumped back to avoid it. Soul took the chance again and charged at Kid from behind, but proved fruitless as Kid raised his gun again and shot at Soul, causing the scythe-boy to retreat. Fixing his glasses, Stein continued watching the fight, "Look over there at Kid-kun and his twin pistols as they fight. How are their soul's wavelengths? Synced up perfectly?" Asking with humour in his voice, already knowing the answer, but wanting to hear what the girl had to say.
Closing her eyes, Maka snapped them open to reveal pupils forming in her usually pupil-less eyes. Her sight changed, as she saw the three souls of Kid, Liz and Patti. Kid a soft orange glow with dull eyes, and his trademark three strips on the soul's head. Liz a soft pink with a pair of lazy eyes and her cowboy hat acting as her soul's tail, as the tip waved at the top. And Patti, the same soft pink glow as her sisters but with a more cheerful expression on the soul's face; her hat the same as Liz's was also seen on the soul. "Yes. It should be normally, be overly difficult to sync up the wavelengths of two weapons... but they're very stable" her observation getting a smile from Stein, though unseen as she continued, "And they seem to share a respect for him too... No, that's not it..." a thoughtful look on her face, "Is it... admiration?"
"Magnificent. Correct" Stein replied. Looking back at the fight, "Twin Pistols, the Thompson Sisters...Those two girls were raised on the streets, so for someone with a dignified soul like Kid-kun, their admiration is to be expected. As for Kid-kun, it's good for him to be surrounded by personalities different from his neuroticism... That is, the laid-back and positive souls of the Thompson Sisters."
"They make a great team" Maka commented. Their attentions went back to the fight as Black Star charged at Kid.
"How about a little taste of my wavelength...!" Black Star arm was stretched out to the side as static started jumping around his arm, preparing for a wavelength strike. Thrusting forward towards Kid's head, Kid avoided the strike. Taking his chance, Kid crouched down and sweep-kicked Black Star off his feet. Not giving the ninja-boy any rest, he pushed himself upwards and with his back, colliding with Black Star's body and sending the boy flying over him.
The action caught many spectators attention, as Black Star is known to be quite good in hand-to-hand combat. "Even though Black Star's specialty is martial arts, he's just playing with him. And Soul can't stand up to him as he is." Maka's words came out of her shocked body, while Tsubaki was starting to worry for her partner now.
"You asshole...!" Black Star yelled as he charged once more from one side while Soul took the other side. Bringing his guns across his chest and facing his opponents, he shot at the two of them, sending them back again. "What!" feeling a tug on his leg, he looked down to see that Black Star had a material from his clothing wrapped around his left leg. With a strong pull, Black Star had spread Kid's legs far enough that he collapsed onto the ground, and as this happened, Soul launched into the air while transforming.
"Gotcha...!" Soul said, as he took his full scythe form and came down spinning towards Kid's prone form. Tilting his head in time, Kid narrowly dodged the strike, as the blade's glowing gleam missed his face by mere inches and impacted at the ground besides him. Not wasting time and taking advantage of Soul's position, Kid did a back-flip which also brought Black Star flying towards Soul's blade's flat side head first.
Black Star's body twitched in pain a few times, as Soul's reflection from the blade looked down at his battle partner, "I really wanna kill that punk now..."
Maka and Tsubaki could only stare with a look of embarrassment at their situation... "They're hopeless..." Maka muttered.
Kid stood tall, as his face went serious; "Now I'll show you the power of a Shinigami" Winds started kicking up, as it whipped around Kid's form. "Resonance of Souls!" the three yells of Kid, Liz and Patti came together, and with that, Kid's body floated off the ground as his wavelength started climbing. To soul-seeing people, his soul visibly showing around his body, enveloping Kid's entire form with it's soft blue glow.

Half-way up the stairs to Shibusen, Naruto's head snapped up as he sensed the increase of power... and already recognised from whom it was coming from, 'What's going on? Kid's soul as well as Liz-chan's and Patti-chan's have expanded'
-X-X-X Na-Soul-Ru-Eater-To X-X-X-
Kid's body continued floating as his power increased, black tendrils of energy circling around him. These tendrils took the form of skulls, showing his alignment to his blood as a Shinigami. Six sparks of static started going off on Kid's arms, three on each one. As it came and gone, in their place were black spike-like appendages. His left gun glowed pink, as the form enlarged and covered a portion of him arm just below the spikes, transforming into a cannon-like weapon with a large barrel. The Shinigami symbol – A Skull with three pointed Teeth and eyeholes – was present on the barrel as well. The right gun soon transformed into an identical cannon weapon.
Bringing his arms across his chest, Kid lashed out and his power stopped growing, allowing his body to drop down onto the ground in a squat position with both weapons at his side.

'Shit! Kid brought out the Cannons! What is going on up there...?' Naruto thought in panic, as he raced up the steps as fast as he could, as he held Blair ontop of his hat with one hand to keep her steady.
"I don't know, but you better hurry" Kisara's voice came, surprisingly she sounded worried, "Whoever is facing Kid as he is now, won't likely to survive if he's going to shoot them at point blank-range! He's seriously going to injure somebody if he shoots them with this amount of power."
"Nya! Naru-koi, what's wrong!" Blair yelled out, holding onto Naruto's hat as his hand held her down as well.
"Shit! I'm not going to make it in time" cursing to himself quietly, he took his attention back up to Blair for a moment, "Blair, whatever happens. DO. NOT. LET. GO. I'm going to use a bit of my Soul to get us there faster, okay?"
Blair was worried now, as she knew that Naruto couldn't use his Soul's power well unless he suffered from the repercussions of it. Yes, he could use it for fighting or for basic uses like any other Shibusen student to pull off techniques, but if he actually 'tapped' into it without Kisara's help... then it was a disaster. "K-Koi... what's going on?" she stuttered out, but gasped as a violent rush of power coursed through the air. The sounds of flesh ripping was heard, and before she knew what happened, she felt the force of gravity on her as Naruto took to the skies... with a pair of demonic-like wings, that at the base was slowly spreading across his back from the point of connection.
As the winged male took off towards Shibusen, Kisara was gritting her teeth as the unstable soul of Naruto's was currently assaulting her. But she had to endure for as long as possible, whatever Kid was doing, it was too dangerous to let it be as he might accidently kill someone. 'Hurry Naruto-kun'her thoughts going through her head, as her surrounding area within Naruto's body was slowly being consumed by chaos, 'We don't need another repeat of what happened at Russia. Especially not here... not now... damnit'
-X-X-X Na-Soul-Ru-Eater-To X-X-X-
Dark lightning danced around Kid, as it gathered around the spikes on his arms. "Uh... I don't like the looks of that" Soul said, now worried and second guessing his choice in fighting against Shinigami's son.
"Resonance Stable... Noise at 0.3%" Liz spoke out, the black lightning dancing wildly around Kid's body. Rings of red started pulsing and moving along the barrels on each arm, gathering up at the front. "Black Needles fully charged with soul wavelength" Patti voiced out in a surprising serious tone. A ball of pink energy started growing at the mouths of both cannons, pulsing with power as the rings continued feeding it, "Feedback in four seconds" Liz's voice sounded off, as the balls of energy burst into smaller particles of energy that floated around the mouths of the cannons. Large Skull like shadows over-laid above him as it aligned with both cannons bodies. A red glow soon came from within both cannon's body, the energy from it brightening up with each second.
"Three" – Liz
"Two" – Patti
"One" – Liz
"Firing!" – Patti, as she made a peace sign.
Lifting his arms as he brought them together, the shadow skulls fading away from the action, Kid aligned both cannons against each other as the glowing energy from within reached its peak, "Death Cannon" A bright flash came, and with a strong push-back, the energy that had build up within shot forth in a stream of destructive proportions. The winds kicked as the energy came barrelling towards the panicking pair.
"AH CRAP! NOT GOOD!" Soul screamed, too frightened to move at this point, and even if he could he couldn't avoid the blast. Black Star however, didn't find this the least bit worrisome, "Hah, ridiculous! There's no way something like that will hurt me!" he stated, as the attack drew closer. As it closed in, a figured landed infront of them, taking the shot head-on. Nobody besides the two noticed this, and as the blast went off, it developed a large plum of skull-shaped smoke that covered a large portion of the blast area. No-one seeing the pair flying back due to the shockwave of the explosion
Standing up, Kid turned his back at the scene, believing that his fight was done. The cannons on his arms reverted back into their gun forms. The students that were watching stood in shock and awe at the display of power, while Maka and Tsubaki were worried for their partners... what nobody was expecting... was for someone else's voice to call out from within the smoke.
"KID!"
Kid flinched, and a look of horror came to his face. Stein flinched as well, but soon a sadistic smile came to his face, knowing full well whose voice that was. That smile however, turned into a frown... seeing a humanoid shaped-silhouette, and large wings... 'What the... it couldn't be...'
As the smoke cleared, there stood Naruto, with his knees bent slightly apart, arms crossed over his chest and large black tattered looking demonic wings, with a red colouring for skin on the underside, that were spread outwards far then inwards to create a large protective barrier. The Shinigami's Skull was dead-centre of the shield at the front, the black pulsing form acting as a shield. With a mighty flap outwards, Naruto dismissed the barrier and Skull-Shield. His wing-span covered far, taller than he is in height on both wing's account each.
"It seems he has indeed learned some secrets about his soul" Stein muttered, but Maka heard him none-the-less. Looking at Stein briefly in shock, she turned back towards the new company. What she saw left her speechless and terrified.
She was looking inside of Naruto, seeing his soul. But it wasn't what she was expecting. As she looked, she saw not only his Soul but another as well, seeming to struggle against an enveloping surge of power that was trying by the looks of it, consume it into itself. Naruto's soul was a light orange ball with a cheesy grin on it and the eyes thinned out as it curved slightly upwards. The soul-tail wasn't there as in its place was in-fact multiple spikes of 'hair', similar to Black Star's... However, one of the 'hairs' seemed to extend from the bottom and out, forming a long tail like appendage. The other soul however... confused Maka greatly. It was a dark red, almost blood red in colour. The Soul had a razor sharp toothy grin, two pairs of vertical glowing pupils, at the top were two long rabbit-like ears, and behind it... were nine swaying tails. But the thing that confused, worried and terrified Maka, was the fact that the orange soul was much larger than the red soul, with the red being inside the orange. And in-between the two, in the space that separated them, was what looked to be a literal storm-cloud of black and white lightning that was fighting against the red lightning from the inner soul. It felt destructive... It felt powerful... It felt... Chaotic... 'What... What is this...?' Maka's thoughts portraying onto her face, as Stein was carefully looking at her from the corner of his eye.
Turning back towards his pupil, he too had seen what was happening inside Naruto. 'So it seems he finally understands the power within him... but can't control it, least it controls him. But Kisara appears to help with that somewhat by fighting it... the question is' eye narrowing, 'how long can she keep it up before being consumed by it'
The sickening sound of flesh being torn and moulded was heard, as the large pair of wings sank slowly into Naruto's bare back. With the wings gone, he stormed up towards the still frozen form of his brother. "How many times have I told you, control your emotions when using the God-freaking Death Cannon..." All watched as Kid did not move as this newcomer marched his way up to the Shinigami's son. Reeling his fist back, everyone's eyes went wide at the implication, and they weren't disappointed at what happened next.
"You... BAKA!" PUNCH! A strong right hook to the cheek sent Kid flying and bouncing back, his body crashing into the outer walls that surrounded Shibusen. Liz and Patti were fortunate enough to have been released upon fist-impact, so they were able to revert back to their human forms and watch Kid get sent via Naruto-Punch.
Numerous jaws dropped at what just happened. Soul and Black Star, having recovered from being blown away by the explosion, were gobsmacked that someone did something they've been trying to do all afternoon. The silence was broken when chuckling was heard... All eyes turned towards the source, it being from Professor Stein. "Still haven't cracked the mystery that is Kid-kun, eh, Naruto-kun?" laughing at the question, as he received wide-stares from his students. Standing up from his chair, he walked up to his old student, Maka and Tsubaki taking this chance to check on their partners.
Blinking owlishly, Naruto gave a feral grin at the man, "Senpai! Chichiue didn't mention you being a teacher here at Shibusen" Grabbing the man's arm, as Stein did the same, the two gave each other a firm shake in greeting, "Did you get drafted into becoming a Sensei? Or were you hoping to probe around a few student's minds... and bodies?" The two laughing at the joke in Stein's expense... Their humour however, not fully agreeing with the students that were still around to hear that.
"Those two... know each other?" the question coming from Soul, as Maka helped him up. His partner gave a nod as she watched the two people interacting, "Hai... you and Black Star weren't in class when Professor Stein mentioned new students coming. He's the second one, his ex-student." That froze Soul cold, recalling a very specific detail that revolved around that...
... But for the life of him, he could not remember... "SOUL-KUN!" Ah, now he remembered... crap. Maka and Soul toppled over as the heavy weight of Human Blair collided with Soul's back. The cat-woman pinning Soul face-down as she peered at his face from the side with a cat-like grin, "I hope Foxy-koi didn't give you a scare when he showed up Soul-kun" she said innocently, not realising the fear-gates she had unleashed within Soul.
"W-wait... Foxy-k-koi?" Visibly paling, Soul neck creaked forwards to face the person that had saved him just recently. His eyes went wide as he saw the now glaring face of Naruto, his eyes seeming to glow a murderous red under the shadows of his hair.
...
... "Maka" – "Hai?" – "I leave all my worldly possessions to you..." – "Eh?"
"... Soul Eater Evans..." The chilling voice of Naruto loud and clear for all to hear, "I believe you owe me an explanation on why I was away on a mission one day... to return home to find not only was my love's home attacked... or that she was constantly hunted down by you and your partner... OR the fact that my love's home is now destroyed as a result of said hunting... But for ONE SPECIFIC DETAIL" The murderous red eyes seeming to darken into blood-pools of an empty abyss, promising pain if messed with, "... You Soul Eater Evans... ATE. MY. BLAIR-CHAN'S. SOUL!"
"..." Nobody moved... nobody breathed... Stein was grinning like a mad-man... Liz and Patti were helping the now standing Kid, all three watching the event unfold... and Soul... he was sweating up a storm. "..." Finding the strength for survival, Soul pushed himself to stand. Ignoring the 'Eeps' from Maka and Blair, the walking dead-man Soul turned about and ran like the Hounds from Hell were upon him.
"GET BACK HERE SOUL EATER EVANS! AND TAKE YOUR PUNISHMENT LIKE A MAN!"
"SCREW BEING A MAN, I WANT TO LIVE! THIS IS SO NOT COOL!"
Stein busted out laughing, as Soul tried escaping the wrath of Naruto. All the spectators gave a short prayer once more for the soon-to-be dead-man. Liz sighed while Patti laughed and Kid... well; he was knocked out again due to an unexpected hair-cut that threw his symmetry off. Blair turned to Maka, scratching her head sheepishly, as Maka watched with a twitching eyebrow of annoyance and embarrassment, "Nya... Sorry Maka-chan" Blair shrugged, "I tried calming him down so he wouldn't kill Soul-kun... hopefully he won't."
Maka just palmed her face, grumbling to herself about the baka that is known as Soul, whom unfortunately, is her partner. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU EVANS, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU WISH YOU HAD BECOME A DEATHSCYTHE! THAT WAY, YOU MAY ACTUALLY SURVIVE...!"... ex-partner, if Stein's ex-student has anything to say about it... Opening her fingers slightly, as her one opened eye gazed at the panicking weapon of hers, she couldn't help but give a whining groan at the scene, 'Why us...?'
Kid and Naruto have entered Shibusen! Kid's fight went unmatched, as he decimated Soul and Black Star! Naruto however, proved to be the stronger of the pair, as he took the full blast of Kid's Technique head-on! And what is with the wings and Chaotic Soul? More mysteries than there are answers, as more puzzles appear that involve the Adopted Son of Shinigami! What will Shibusen be now, that the Sons of Lord Death have enrolled at the Academy? And will Soul survive his 'punishment'?
