I'm alive! Kay so to the story since I haven't updated in like ever! So so so so so so so so so so sorry

Chapter 9 the mission: day 1 ( awkward dancing and sweet moment)

(Kid P.O.V.)

The club was called 'Jay's joint', yeah great name. The beat of the music could be felt five streets over. The line for the club was around the corner and the air around it smelled of tobacco and sweat.

My sister grabs my wrist and drags me to the front of the line smiling at the muscled bouncer. He was tan and tall. Dark sunglasses covering his eyes and he wore a tight black t-shirt.

I turned to the rest of the group smiling sheepishly when I realized they were staring at thorn and I. Soul, and Maka seem a little confused and uncomfortable, just like me. Maka kept adjusting her skirt; it seemed to keep ridding up.

Thorn had insisted that we all change before leaving.

Maka had her sandy hair down and in her face, and a small trace of make up on. Her usual plaid skirt, jacket, and shirt replaced with a black mini skirt, and a neon green halter top, complete with black zebra stripes(also covered in sparkles). And to top it all off she had matching high heels, that could break her neck and stab someone.

Liz had her hair up in a ponytail and only red lipstick on. She's either wearing a push-up bra or she padded it because in the dress she's wearing her and patty are the same cup size. She wore a strapless red dress with a black sash around her waist, if it could be called that, it looked more like an over grown shirt with how long it was. She wore black flats, stating that she didn't want to be taller that who she danced with.

Patty wore almost the same kind of dress her sister did, accept pink and covered in sequence. Her hair was flattened and held back with a head band, only a small trace of lip gloss visible. She wore bright pink strappy heels and a small gold anklet.

As for my sister, she wore a turquoise, single shoulder, flowing top. A black sash wound around her chest, just below her breasts and black lace covered the length on the shirt. Tight black pants and a matching jacket covered the rest of her. She wore black converse, saying that trying to dance in heels is like stepping on knives after a while.

Syc had decided he didn't want glasses for the night and was wearing contacts. He has on a black fedora and a black 'Falling in Reverse' shirt on. He had on black jeans with holes in them and chains hanging from the belt. He had on plain black converse and a few wide, black wrist bands. And to top it all off he had black nail polish on, claiming and I quote 'it's not girly if it just makes you look more attractive'.

And then there is Soul. He wore light green skinny jeans, and a black and white checkered belt holding them just barley on his hips. He wore a skin tight short sleeved dark green t-shirt with 'The Goo Goo Dolls' printed on it in black. His hair was held out of his face with a black head band, but other than that it remained in the same style. His usual jacket and shoes completed the outfit as well as the extremely sexy smirk of his.

And for me, well I'm supposed to be Kathrin so I look like a girl, not that I hate girl or anything, but cross-dressing is not something I ever wanted to do, I might be gay but that doesn't mean I enjoy wearing dresses. Not that there's anything wrong with that it's just not for me.

Anyway, as for what I'm wearing, I have on a two layer mini skirt, one layer black, the other white lace. I'm wearing a matching top, with a built in corset, ( I hate the stupid thing). And to top it all off, I'm wearing fish net tights and knee high, black leather, high heel boots. My "hair", is down my back and in my face, which has a small trace of lipstick and eyeliner. And lastly a long, black, sheer, jacket cover my arms and reached past my skirt and to my knees. Yeah, I feel more like I'm wearing lingerie than an outfit for dancing.

So the bouncer raised an eyebrow and held his hand out to my sister, shaking her hand, as she palmed a few C-notes, at my count I would say one for each of us.

After the short encounter he smiled and let us in, ignoring the groans coming from the line. His eyes seemed to linger on Liz, and Thorn, yeah good luck with that. My sister would kick his ass and Liz is not only taken but also not into guys last time I checked.

When I stepped into the building I wanted to turn and leave. The air was thick and warm with body heat, at least five hundred if not more people dancing in a large crowd. The room is dim and lit by pink, blue and green light, flashing enough to give someone a seizer. The bar was open but was not very crowded, probably because most of the people in the building seemed under age.

There were tables and booths surrounding the dance floor and a DJ perched in front of everyone else. The entire room seemed to smell only of flowers, which was strange considering how many people were sweating on the dance floor. On each side of the DJ the be back rooms, possibly bathrooms or private room.

Oh, this is going to be a long night.

~ 6:20 pm ~ (soul P.O.V.)

"Come on guys, let's have a good time, at least before we try to kill a horrible creature" Thorn says running out onto the dance floor and joining in, dragging Syc with her.

I turn to look at maka and she smiles sheepishly at me. I open my mouth to say something but liz and patty literally drag her away to the dance floor both smiling and giggling. Great so I'm the only one who feels awkward.

I feel someone nudge my arm and see Kathy standing next to me, looking like she wants to melt into the wall and disappear, you know like Crona. She glances at me and grimaces.

" I, I can't dance, well I can but not like that, I only know traditional and ballroom dancing, you know like the waltz or the salsa" She say fiddling with her thumbs

Oh, and I just didn't want to dance with a bunch of strangers, I guess can count myself lucky.

I smile " Well, do you want to learn ? or would you rather go sit and talk?" I ask holding out my hand to her

She looks at me like I was insane "c-can we just sit and talk? There are way to many people out there" She says backing away from the crowd. I nod

"Sure, though I think thorn is going to make go out with the way she's giving you the evil eye." I say glancing at thorn in the middle to the dance floor.

She rolls her eyes and shrugs " Eh, she's done worse"

We sit down at an empty table.

"So, where did you transfer from?"

"London, England" She say smiling

Well that explains the accent, but not the strain in her voice.

"Oh, so is that how you know Thorn and Syc?"
Her nose schrunches up slightly and she bites the inside of her cheek.

"Well, sort of, I guess, I met them in death city and Britain, we met over in a chat room for over seize DWMA students" She says shrugging

I nod, "Where you born in England?"

She nods " yeah, though I spent half of my childhood in wales and Scotland " she says

I open my mouth to ask her something else but the DJ interrupts me.

"This is a dedication to Kathy from thorn, she say get your ass on the dance floor before I drag you out there myself"

Beside me Kathy groans and drops her head onto the table. "Come on before I have to deal with her"

I nod but realize she's still not looking up. "okay lets go"

I lead her out onto the dance floor, letting go of her hand and swaying to the beat and smiling when she does the same. I notice she avoids eye contact but still smiles, her arms lifting over her head and her body relaxing after a few moments.

"So, how do you like the academy?" I ask, raising my voice a little

"Um… well it's cool so far, everyone seems really nice and since thorn, syc and kid are helping me out its easy to get from place to place." She says, dancing a little closer to me.

I nod " So weapon or mister?" I ask

"Weapon, but I don't need a mister" she says, smiling " I'm a bow and arrow"

"cool, when did you meet the reeper's kids ?" I ask

" About eight years ago, I started training really young, and after about two years they came to britian and invited me to live with for my training. Ever since then Thorn and Syc have been my mentors" She says

We stop talking and I just focus on the music. I feel a small shove from behind and before I know it both Kathy and I only a breath apart.

Her cheeks flush and she looks anywhere but my face. I offer a shrug and hesitantly she rest her hands on my shoulders. I follow her lead and wrap my arms around her waist.

She remains stiff and the blush on her cheeks becomes redder. I smirk and I rock us back and forth.

I never realized how warm she was, almost like kid every time we touch he seems to be warmer than the average human. He says its because he's a reeper and his body can tell I'm supposed to be his future partner, though I never realized that a reeper would heat up every time they came into contact with a future death scythe. (sorry I had to make him dense or this wouldn't be any fun)

She smells like coconut and mango, kind of like a smoothie.

Kathy trips over her own feet and before I can blink we're both on the ground, her on top of me. If it's possible her face inflames even brighter and she quickly gets up, offering me a hand.

"I-I'm sorry soul" she says looking everywhere but my eyes, settling on her shoes

"Don't sweat it, after all cool guys like me don't care about that kind of stuff, as long as nobody was hurt I couldn't care less"

She nods and shifts uncomfortably "I – I think I should head back, I have to get up early tomorrow to get to the DWMA on time" she says still blushing

"Okay, I think I spy thorn over in the corner with syc talking" I say nodding in the direction of the two, she nod and walks over to the duo.

~~~~~~ (9:30) back at the hotel~~~~~~~

I open the door the mine and kid's room, trying to keep quiet. I look around, huh where's kid?

I walk into the room, it's pretty spacious. There is a king sized bed on the left side of the room, and a small office across the room divided by a wall and open door. Both rooms have a TV, and a phone. The office had a cord that had a small sign saying internet. I walk into the office and then notice off to the corner of the room was a sliding glass door.

I walk over to it and see kid on thee balcony, sitting in a chair with his laptop, a very determined look on his face.

I slide the door open and shiver slightly at the cool air. Kid turns his head slightly and nods back at me before going back to his laptop. A very familiar tune is playing from his computer and I grin sitting in the other chair.

"You like Coldplay?" I ask kind of surprised he didn't seem like the type.

He looks up and smiles "yeah, I listen to just about every song they have, this is one of my favorites though"

I nod, "so what are doin' out here, at night, in the cold, on your computer, listening to Coldplay?" I ask shifting so that I could see him and still lean back into the chair.

He groans, huh the sounds kind of familiar " I'm organizing this stupid Halloween dance my sister and father sprung on me last minute, knowing full and well that I wouldn't let anyone else do it" he says shaking his head.

I nod "what are doing for it right now? Maybe I can help?"

He looks up and smiles and my heart skips a beat "picking out the music, the songs that I have to sing and perform because my sister is a freaking lunatic"

I nod and get up looking at the screen over his shoulder, trying not to blush at the close proximity , I'm a cool guy and cool guys don't blush.

~20 minutes later~

"There, that's done" I say nodding

"and to think, I skipped out on watching my brother try to dance to do this" he says

"I thought you weren't feeling well"

"I just said that so my sister wouldn't hurt me because I was staying behind"

I nod in understanding, his sister seems to be pretty scary, not shocking considering her heritage.

"well then, that won't do, you didn't get to dance, so you'll just have to dance with me" I say offering him my hand.

"what?!" he squeaks out as I pull him up into my arms.

"oh come on it'll be fun" he sighs and nods knowing there was no use in arguing with me.

I wrap my arms around his waist and his arms rest around my neck and I slowly dance us in a circle.

Huh, he smells like mango and coconuts too, that's kind of weird. And's so soft, I wish we could stay like this for years to come.

"Thank you soul" kid says with a cute blush on his face

"You're welcome kid" I say reluctantly letting go of his waist.

"I –I'm going to head for bed" he says grabbing his laptop.

I nod and sit back in the chairs smiling at him.

After about 20 minutes I head in too, smiling as I see him curled in a ball on the bed. Could he be anymore adorable? I change into my pj and slip into bed next to him. My nose almost explodes and I get a bit dizzy form all the blood rushing to my cheeks as kid cuddles up against me, mewling like a kitten.

Oh this was going to be a long night.

Okay, so yeah. God! You don't know how long I've been wanting to post this! No internet sucks! Okay so these are the songs that were supposed to be playing, I got yelled at for the lyrics so I had to take them out. ~Annoyed by rules~
