I had a great night sleep, when I slowly started to wake up when I felt something against my face. I woke up and it was a girl sleeping on me, she had long, blonde, hair, had white skin... Thats it (if you know what I mean) I started to panic I had already seen everything and if Maka or Blaire saw this then all Hell would break loose, I tried to get away but she was on top of me so I couldn't, I tried to wake her up but she was sound asleep. So finally I moved her aside, I heard her starting to wake up.
"Master?" She asked softly.
I put a hand over her mouth.
"Shhhh," I said.
"If you speak then I am going to die," I whispered.
I took my hand off her mouth.
"You can hear me?" She asked softly.
"Yes I can hear you, but you need to be quiet or else-" I said.
"Or else what" I heard Maka say.
I turned around and saw that Maka was behind me with her 'Maka Chop' book.
"Uh, I can explain," I said.
"Can you?" Maka asked.
'An actual chance to explain a misunderstanding? Thats a first in the Anime universe,' I thought.
"Yes, I can, this girl just randomly appeared, sleeping with me," I said.
I looked at her.
"With no clothes on," I said.
"Makaaaaaaa," Maka started to say,
'Run,' I thought.
I ran for the window.
"Chop!" Maka said.
Maka got me and chopped me out the window, and I fell on my chest of memories.
'Why didn't I bring this in yet,' I thought.
"You Jerk!" Maka said.
And she closed the window.
I went back up to the apartment door. When I got Maka was helping the girl getting dressed into Maka's clothes but she was just putting on the shirt, The shirt wasn't on and no bottoms.
"Damn," I said.
Maka punched me in the face and closed the door.
'Damn you Saphomin,' I thought.
After a few minutes later I heard Maka say.
"Alright, come in now."
I walked in.
"Are you gonna punch me again or wha-" I said.
Maka punched me across the face, the girl was about 125 pounds and was about 5 feet and 7 inches tall.
"Master," She said with a smile.
She ran towards me and hugged me.
"Master" Maka said while grinding her teeth.
"This I can't explain," I said.
She got the girl off me and kicked me between the legs. I fell down in pain for a few minutes, The girls had already left to go to the academy. When I got up I ran there and made it right on time.
"James, Lord Death wants to see you," Stein said.
"Got it," I said.
I went to Lord Death office and Kid, Liz and Patty were there too.
"Ah, there you are James," Death said.
"What do you need?" I asked.
"I need you to be Kid's back up on a mission," Death said.
"What mission?" I asked.
"The Run Away Express, it holds a magic tool called the Eternal Spring and we need to retrieve it before Arachnophobia or anyone else does," Death said.
"Alright," I said.
Me, Kid, Liz and Patty left Death's office and went into the desert where the Run Away Express was. Kid put on a costume that looked like Lord Death and Liz and Patty were in some heavy desert gear, I was wearing a white, short-sleeve shirt and some grey pants. It was hotter then red hot out and we were all sweating, except Kid.
"Hot," Patty said.
"What are we doing in this wasteland? it's hot and sandy and horrible," Liz asked.
'Didn't we already go through this?' I thought.
"Hot," Patty said.
"Quit complaining, we're here on dads orders, you guys have heard of the Run Away Express right?" Kid asked.
'We did go through this already,' I thought.
"The high speed train that runs through the desert without following any tracks," Kid said.
"Hot," Patty said.
"Oh yeah, the one that runs continuously for over 100 years now?" Liz asked.
"Thats right," Kid said.
"A century's a long time to run without maintenance, how does it work?" Liz asked.
"Apparently it's run by a magic tool," Kid said.
"Whats that?" Liz said.
"A device that could cause wide spread destruction if used by the wrong people, it seems that arachnophobia would like to get their hands on it," Kid said.
"So hot!" Patty said.
'Why are we talking about this if we Death just talked about it,' I thought.
"It's so freakin' hot out here!" Patty yelled.
"That's why we're here," Kid said.
Kid lifted up his mask.
"We must reach it before they do," Kid said.
There was a giant sand hill in front of us.
'Why does it have to be uphill," I thought.
"Hot," Patty said.
"Kid, I thought as a Grim Reaper you were immune to sun burn, whats the point of wearing that silly outfit in this heat?" Liz asked.
'Your asking about this now,' I thought.
"It sets the mood, besides it keeps the lines in my hair partially hidden, no matter how many time I dye it those damn lines keep coming back," Kid said.
"Why not dye your hair white to match the lines?" I asked.
"I never thought of that, good idea James," Kid said.
'Are you joking me?' I thought.
"Hot," Patty said.
We reached to top of the sand hill.
"Here we are," Kid said.
There was a station at the bottom of the hill.
"A station in the middle of the desert?" Patty said.
"Let's get going, the train will arrive any minute now" Kid said as he was sliding down the hill.
"You sound pretty excited about that," Liz said.
"How come?" Patty asked.
Instead of sliding I started jumping down this hill, Each time I landed I would jump giving me a little bit more distance and air then the last.
"That train has been on schedule for the past hundred years, never a second late or a second early, how could I not be excited for such a perfectly executed mode of transportation," Kid said.
Liz started to slide down and grabbed Patty arm and dragged her down.
"Right, how silly of me," Liz said.
As I was getting closer I saw someone, it looked like a little kid. We made it to the bottom of the hill and got on to the station.
"Hello there, sure is hot today isn't it?" Kid asked.
"Hello?" Liz asked.
The kid just looked at us and looked back at the desert.
"Hey midget where are your manners, when someone says hello to you your supposed to answer ok!" Patty yelled.
"Calm down," Kid said.
"Chi chi," The kid said.
"HEY! who do you think you are clicking your tongue at us like that huh!" Patty yelled.
'The heat has gotten to her,' I thought.
Liz grabbed Patty and placed her behind the station.
"Oh wow, look at all the sand Patty, why don't we sit here and play for awhile," Liz said.
"Yeah, I'm gonna build a sand castle," Patty said.
I stood next to Kid, Kid pulled out what looked like the train's schedule.
"According to this the train should be arriving soon," Kid said.
"Is that why your here, the Run Away Express?" Kid asked the kid.
"Chi chi," The kid said.
'There's something familiar about that voice, but what,' I thought.
"All done!" Patty said.
"Wow, looks great Patty," Liz said.
"I still don't see anything, at this rate it's going to miss it's scheduled arrival," Kid said.
He pulled out a mini clock, it showed 11:57 A.M. Later I saw something out in the distance.
"So it's perfect punctuality was nothing more then a rumor, how disappointing," Kid said.
I felt the ground start to lightly rumble.
'Wait a minute, that kid, that noise,' I thought.
I ran towards the kid.
"I'm gonna kill you!" I said.
But before I could get to the kid the Run Away Express flew out of the sand like a snake.
"Awesome," Patty said.
After the entire train was in the air a saw a hook that latched on the train, some guy in a weird fat worm outfit with a fishing rod.
"Thats the agent Aracnaie sent to get the magic tool," Kid said.
'Oh wait,' I thought.
I turned to the kid.
"Your hide is mine," I said running at him.
But before I could get to the kid she flew off.
"A witches soul? So that kid wasn't a tourist after all? though I suppose witches can be tourist too," Kid said.
I saw a black ball and remembered what it was so I kicked it out of range, it exploded.
"That settles it, tourists don't leave bombs," Kid said.
He got out his hover board.
"Man, That train can really move," Liz said.
"Wow, it looks like an earthworm," Patty said.
"You can admire it later, right now I need you to transform," Kid said.
"Right," Liz said.
"Ok," Patty said.
They transformed, and I held on the back of the board, we too off very quickly.
"Let's go, go, go," Kid said.
We started to get close, then we flew into the air, when we landed I saw the fat worm in one of the windows and he opened it up.
"Fishing rod launcher," I heard the fat worm say.
He fired a missile at us but we were able to dodge it.
"Do you like my fishing rod? Do you like my missiles?" He said as he kept firing.
"How does that feel? Hahahahahahaha" He said.
I don't know how but we were able to dodge all of them, then one of the witches bombs hit the window where the fat worm was, then more bombs were raining down on the train.
"I can use this to my advantage, the smoke will hide my approach," Kid said.
We got up against the train.
"Kid the trains about to turn right," Patty said.
I got on the board and went through the window before Kid got smacked by the train. I walked through the cars and found the fat worm,he looked at me.
"How did you get on here?" He asked.
"Whats it to you," I said as I ran at him.
He fired some missiles at me but he was a terrible shot and they all missed me. I used the 'Peoples Elbow' on him and took his fishing rod and started beating him up with it.
"Do you like your fishing rod? Do you like my peoples elbow?" I said as I was beating him up.
I smack his head like a golf club and sent him over to the edge of the car, I started to shoot missiles at him, After 10 seconds I stopped and saw that he was dead.
"Fatality, James wins," I said.
I threw the rod outside to be destroyed then I went up to the front of the car and pulled out the spring. After a while Kid got up to the front as well.
"One Eternal Spring," I said.
I gave it to Kid.
"Thanks," Kid said.
"No prob," I said.
Sid came aboard the train awhile later and he brought along a squad as well.
"I'll take care of the others with a collection squad from the African branch, you guys go get some rest," Sid said.
I heard gun fire.
"Get it, shoot it down," I heard someone say.
A man came up to the car.
"Sid, there was a witch here too, she escaped," The man said.
"Our objective was the Eternal Spring, let the witch go," Sid said.
"Okay kids, you head on to the camp for some rest there will be cold drinks waiting for you," The man said.
"Yay, thank you mister," Patty said.
"Awesome, thanks," Liz said.
"Yeah, thanks," Me and Kid said.
So we all went to the camp and had a lot of cold water and food, we got back to Death City later at night, I went into the apartment.
"I'm back," I said.
Maka punched me in the stomach.
"I'm guessing your still mad," I said.
"Master, your back!" I heard the girl say.
She came up to me and hugged me.
"Stein said that going from your home to here might have given her the ability to transform," Maka said.
"So shes the-" I said.
"Thats right, I'm the katana" The girl said still hugging me.
"Well, do you have a name?" I asked.
"You haven't given me one," She said.
"Well how about, Zabrina?" I asked.
"I love it," She said still hugging me.
"Good," I said.
"Where is she gonna sleep?" I asked.
"She can sleep on the couch," Maka said.
"Sure," Zabrina said.
She went on the couch and fell asleep.
"Guess I'm gonna sleep too," I said.
I went to the corner and fell asleep.
