Chapter 9

Disguise


I rested my head on my arms as I gazed out my window. A warm breeze blew in now and again through the tall gap in my window from where I had opened it. Soul had gone out with Blackstar and Kid, leaving me alone for the whole day in our apartment. Its currently 11:35am. Today is the day where I have to kill Witchling Keko, so 2 hours and 35 minutes have pasted by already.

But I've been thinking. I can't just walk straight into their territory and say, 'Hi, my names Maka and I'm here to kill Keko!' with a big smile on my face can I? I'll need some sort of disguise and weapon, since Medusa cut off my weapon blood. I was really pissed at her for doing that, but she said that anyone would be able to track me, even Soul. Its better if he doesn't know whats going on.

I'd better head out now, before Medusa starts having a hissie fit about me not leaving. I closed the window and drew the curtain veils, going to my bedside table. I took out my purse from the second draw but found it empty when I unzipped it. I guess I shouldn't have spent all my money when I went out with the girls the other day.

My feet padded on the wooden floor down the corridor as I headed towards the living room. My attention was focused on the thick padded wallet, sitting right there on the table, all on its own. Soul wouldn't mind if I borrowed some of his money right? It's for a good cause, all of Death City will be in trouble if I don't borrow this money for clothes!

I dug through his wallet and took out half of his Death notes, slipping them into my pocket. Since I'm heading straight out after shopping, I guess I should leave a note for Soul in case he gets back before me. I scribbled on a sticky-note and stuck it to the fridge before slipping on my shoes and walking out the door, locking it behind me.

I stood outside the new shop in the mall. It was called 'Bandage Skies'. I've been in here once before and found it quite good. They have a colour scheme in the shop where there are sections dotted around with all the same colour clothes in. Theres a colour scheme for almost every colour, blue, green, yellow, red, anything!

Since I need to be in disguise, I should buy clothes that are black so that I can blend in with the shadows like a real ninja! Giggling at my thoughts, I strolled over to the black section finding something catch my eye straight away. It was a short black top dress which was ruffled at the bottom and had a long silver zip going all the way up on its front. I checked the price and gasped. It was 50 skull coins! Thats pretty cheap for clothing like this. Since I have about 100 Death notes and 20 skull coins, I should be alright.

I hung the short top dress over my arm before looking through the jean racks. I spotted a pair of plain black skinny jeans, which will let me move around in easily. Taking them off the rack and hanging them over my same arm, I headed over to the shoes.

I need some shoes with good grip. Maybe some boots, but no high heels. I looked around for a clerk but found none around. But that was when I noticed the bright pink haired boy dressed in work clothes, sitting in the corner.

"Crona?" I nudged the frightened boy.

"M-Maka!" he flung himself at me.

"Whats wrong? Your shaking," I said.

"I'm not really cut out for this j-job. There are too many people to deal with, I can't do it!" He panicked.

"C-Calm down Crona, I'm sure you'll be fine if you build up some courage to help the customers." I told him. "I know, why don't you help me first?"

"Ok..." He trailed off, staring at the ground. "W-What would you like me to help you with?"

"Do you have any nice black boots with good grip on them?" I asked him.

"Y-Yes! We had a delivery of some new boots in this morning. But their still in the delivery area and customers aren't allowed in there." He replied.

"Don't worry, no one will catch us. Plus I really need these shoes!"

"Ok then, f-follow me!" He tugged on my sleeve, pulling me with him to the back of the shop. He looked around before quickly typing in the code on an electronic pad which opened the steel door with a small sounding beep. "They are very special boots which are only sold to certain people, so not a lot of people know about them."

"Ooh," my eyes sparkled. "What do they do?"

"They have an automatic grip which turns on with the command of your voice. Spikes comes out the front of them too but you can add on your own weapons. Is this for a special mission?" Crona asked me.

"Y-Yeah, but you can't tell anyone about this. Not even Soul!"

"I-I won't Maka." He slightly stuttered.

"Good. Is it ok if I pay you here because I need to go to the alleyway over the street anyway?"

"Thats fine, I think." He checked the price tags on all the clothing and told me that they added up to a total of 86 Death notes and 15 Skull coins. I paid him all of my money, telling him to take the change to Soul since I might not see him.

I thanked Crona and slipped out the emergency exit at the back straight into an alleyway. I checked that no one was around before slipping off my clothes and putting on my new ones. After my boots were on, I ran around the corner and down the street until I found the certain alleyway.

I made my way all the way down to the end, around three bends and over a sharp fence before I came upon the special brick wall. I pressed my palm against one of the bricks, pushing it in. The brick bounced back, making a clicking sound before the entire wall split across.

I entered through the gap, closing the wall back behind me. The lights flashed on, revealing the stacks and stacks of weapons and potions my mother used to own. Mum showed me this place when I was much smaller, right before she died. My papa doesn't even know about this place, I'm the only one.

I took a black pouch belt off the side which already held a sleek black whip and rope, a silver handled knife and pockets full of shuriken. I walked past the sword section, heading straight for the scythes. I picked up a chained scythe and slipped it on the pouch before heading back to the entrance, also picking up a cluster of potions.

I quickly checked my watch, finding that most of the day had already gone. I only have eight hours left to find and kill the witch. I had better get going then!
