Helleh's POV
I was called up to Father's in the middle of class. I can't believe everything happened so fast. Did it seriously have to happen as soon as I got here? Well, I walk up to the Death Room and I see Father drinking tea.
"Hiya, my little daughter!"
"Please keep things in business, Lord Death."
"Alright, alright! Well, you must know that the madness is spreading. And Stein..."
"Do you want me to keep an eye on Stein? I'll be going now, then."
"Wait, wait! Hold on! A few more things before you go. Well, now, I wanna talk about you and your brother."
"Pass."
"Then, let's talk about you-"
"Pass. I'll leave if you don't have anything serious. Is there anything about Stein you need to mention?"
"Oh, fine. If you want to know, I want you to watch Stein to make sure he can control himself with the madness. He'll be training students today out of the academy. I want you watch him. Say anything you want to so you can get in, just make sure..."
I had no idea what he was going to say, but whatever. That room always gives me the creeps. I don't want to stay anywhere near my "family" when I'm alone. No one was in the classroom, so I suppose they're all training. I wandered around the forest to find people, and I finally find Stein with Maka, Black Star, and Kid. Of course Daniel and Devon were there, too. That made it a lot easier. Lying is almost my specialty. Living on the streets taught me to be the most convincing liar I've seen so far. Plus, I can see when someone's lying.
"Lord Death's orders. I came to watch the kids train, and help you if needed."
"Oh? Why is this lil' girl excused? Is she too weak to handle all the pressure? Bahahaha!" Black Star...
"Well, Black Star, Hell-"
"I would've shown you my soul to prove things, but sadly, your brain can't process high complexity such as soul seeing. I'm sorry, is my intelligent vocabulary not comprehensible for you?"
"You-"
"Now, Hell Girl, I believe that you came to help."
"Yes, Professor."
It was funny watching them resonance their souls together. It seems like Black Star won't accept Maka's lead. That arrogant bastard. They failed and yelled a couple times. I'm glad that my so-called brother can actually play peacemaker. I was getting hungry, so I sent Devon and Daniel to go home and cook up something. Professor Stein called for a break and left. The team was fighting, well, Maka and Black Star were fighting I guess they can figure it out themselves. I followed Stein slowly. He was beside a tree and looking at things all funny. Uh oh, the madness is up again.
"Professor Stein, are you okay?"
"Heh, heh, what a fine specimen. Let me just mark up a few places..."
"Professor...?"
"Uh, yes, I'm fine."
"No you're not. Don't hide it. It's the madness, isn't it?"
"Well, yes, and no..."
"Here, let me try." I picked up his hand. I closed my eyes, and sent some wavelengths to him.
"It'll slow down the madness for a few days, but you'll need to find a way to control it."
"Alright, thank you." Now, Maka came up to Stein, so I walked away from them towards the team. I was talking to Kid and trying to tell him about the madness and such about Stein. I practiced soul resonance with them in place of Maka. The real purpose was that I wanted to practice resonating madness wavelengths. It was such a weird sensation. There was a slightly stronger sense of madness than I had expected to see from these people. Oh, right! Black Star and his enchanted sword. The extra lessons must've raised that up a bit. How can I tell him to loosen up a bit, though?
Finally, Maka came back with Tsubaki and they finally passed their test. They were finally able to get home. It was...quite a shock Maka wanted Black Star to hit her. I mean, seriously? What was she thinking?! I guess I'll give her a few lessons to get her a little bit stronger. She has a knack at stuff once she tries. Like that basketball game.
It seemed that Devon and Daniel already went to bed. It was a good thing they cooked dinner for me, I was totally starving! After I finished eating, I went upstairs to my room, in the dark. I tripped on something at my door and got a face plant. Did Devon put another zebra at my door? Ugh. Actually, it wasn't the usual zebra. There were two little boxes at my door. I turned on the lights in my room and looked at them. One of them was red with a picture of a soul on it. Heh, it must be Soul. The other was black with a perfectly neat 'K' written on it. I guess it must be from Kid. I open Soul's first. I wonder when did they send these out to me. I opened the box and found a thin necklace. It was silver with a soul with the hugest smile ever. I gave a little chuckle. It's so sweet! I put it on before opening Kid. I still don't like the thought of "my family reunion." Bleh. Well, it seemed to be a dinner invitation for me and my boys. I'm assuming there's more to a dinner.
I changed into my nightgown and tucked myself into bed. I fell asleep and had a very strange dream.
I was in Lord Death's mansion, wearing one of my favorite white dresses. I wanted to show Father something. I was about to knock the door until I heard some yelling.
"THAT GIRL CAN'T STAY!"
"SHE'S MY CHILD AND SHE'LL DO NO HARM!"
"SHE WON'T KILL A KISHIN EVEN IF HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! SHE'S FROM THE HEAVENS!"
"THE MORE REASON TO PROTECT HER AND LOVE HER!" Oh no, why am I hearing this again? I don't want to! I don't want to! I ran down the hall to the closet and cried in there for what seemed like hours. Then, Kid opened the door.
"Heehee, I found you." I don't know what was with me, but I started giggling and chased after him. We were playing around, and fighting over how to arrange the flowers, and dreaming what weapons we wanted. I honestly had no idea, because I didn't want to think about it until I really had to.
"Besides, I might be dead by the time we grow up."
"Ha, don't be silly! No one touches my little sister when I'm around!" How, how did I forget about that? Why did I forget about how he loved me back then? If...if he knew then, why should I make a wall around us now?
Daniel's POV
I opened Hell Girl's door to check if she actually came back, and that Devon didn't eat her dinner. Sure enough, she was there. I walked inside to her bed and sat on the side watching her. She hates it that I say it, but she looks like an angel sleeping. You know how those angels are pictured sleeping with their hands folded under their heads and their bodies slightly tucked in? That's exactly how she looks like. I pulled her blanket closer to her face, and noticed she was crying. She was asleep, for sure, but tears were trailing out of her eyes. I tried to wipe them away, but they kept on coming. I realized she was saying something, too. She hardly says anything in her sleep. I lean down, and listen.
"I want you back, brother. I shouldn't have left you..."
I smile. Maybe that dinner is exactly what she needs to get together. On the other hand, I need to use that as an opportunity to see if Liz is interested in something with me.
