I woke up and saw that Zabrina was still on the couch. I got up and saw that there was a note, 'Went on ahead, see you at the academy, from Soul,' the note read.
"Uh," I groaned.
I got ready and woke up Zabrina.
"Time to get up," I said.
She got up from the couch and followed me down stairs, we went out the door and walked to the academy. I looked at the rooftops to see if the shadow man was around watching me and he wasn't, we made it to the academy and out class just in time. This time Marie who was our teacher and we talked about soul study, after we were done we all met at the basket ball court, Maka, Sara, Black Star, Crona, Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty were playing and Me, Soul, and Kid were on the bench and Zabrina was looking at the graffiti.
"Looks like things are starting to get better for him," Kid said.
"Yeah, it's slow going but we're working on him," Soul said.
"So Soul, how have you been doing?" Kid asked.
"Huh?" Soul asked.
"That wound you took in the chest," Kid said.
"It's fine, anyway dwelling too much in the past ain't cool, especially when it comes to a fight we ended up losing," Soul said.
"You can forget just like that?" Kid asked.
"Maka's been working on Crona, I don't want to spoil that by bringing up any bad memories," Soul said.
"I get it," Kid said.
'It all makes sense now dot a v i,' I thought.
"Alright, let's get in on this," Soul said.
Soul started to help Crona with basketball a little.
"I think it's time for another party," Kid said.
So when they got done with the basketball game we started to see who was gonna do what. We were trying to find out who was gonna do music.
"I think it should be James," Maka said.
"And how, pray tell, am I gonna do that?" I asked.
"You'll be live preforming," Maka said.
"Sing? I don't know any classical songs or anything like that," I said.
"What about that one song you sang on the roof?" Maka asked.
"That was a Rock song, the only genres I listen to is Rock, Alternative, and Metal," I said.
"I think you'll be able to figure something out," Maka said.
"Alright," I said.
So we got everything figured out. I went back to the apartment to get some rest, I looked at the rooftops again to look for shadow man, he wasn't there again.
"I'm back," Someone said.
I looked back and it was the shadow man, he punch me and I fell unconscious. When I woke up I had ropes tied to my hand and feet, I was gagged and trapped in a small room, there was a note on the door, 'I'll give your friends one Hell of a performance, especially Zabrina,' the note read. I tried to break the ropes but couldn't.
-Shadow Man's P.O.V.-
After I tied him up I change my form to look exactly like him. I went to the academy where Maka was waiting for me,
"Your on," Maka said.
"And I'm ready," I said.
I went up to the mic and tested it to see if it was on.
"Thanks for coming, this is a night you will never forget, I'll be singing a song I like to call 'Shallow Bay,'" I said.
"The sun will rise, another time" I sang.
-End of Shadow Man's P.O.V.-
I saw a nail that was stuck in the wall. I hopped over there to see if it did me any good.
[The colors blind your virgin eyes,]
When I got there I tried my feet first and it almost broke, I tried again but used more power and it broke.
[I'm so inclined to make you mine,]
I used my legs to kick off the ropes on my hands, I almost got it but it wouldn't budge when I tried it again.
[You're out of line and out of time,]
I used the nail to break the ropes off my hands. I got the thing out of my mouth and tried to open the door, it was locked.
[And I float upon a shallow bay, Lift me up until the ground gives way,]
I tried ramming it with my shoulder but that didn't work either.
[I'm a California castaway, I don't think you wanna mess with me,]
I kicked the door and it started to break.
[Don't over kill, This painless thrill,]
I punched it and it was almost open.
[It's better still, Your pretty pill,]
I rammed into it and it broke open,
-Maka's P.O.V.-
"You wait until You've had your fill," James sang.
When he sang 'You wait until' it didn't sound right, it kinda sounded distorted.
-End of Maka's P.O.V.-
[I know you will, I know you will,]
I ran towards the academy.
[And I float upon the shallow bay, Lift me up until the ground gives way,]
I almost made it there.
[I'm a California castaway, I don't think you wanna mess with me,]
I got to the room where the party was at and heard 'I don't think you should mess with me,' I knew what song he was singing, I kicked the door open.
"I don't think you wanna f**k with me," I sang.
I saw myself on stage, Shadow Man must have transformed to become like me.
"Show us your true form Shadow Man!" I shouted.
"You mean you show us your true form," Shadow Man said.
People started to talk to see who was the real one.
"Enough of this," Shadow Man said.
He ran towards me, when he got close I dodged to the left, grabbed his head and slammed it into the wall.
"Show yourself," I said.
"No," Shadow Man said.
I slammed him in the wall again.
"Show yourself," I said.
"No," He said.
I threw him in the middle of the area, he got up and stretched his towards the hand turned black as it was coming towards me. I got out of the way, he turned back to his regular form, I looked at him and he looked just like me but in shadow form.
"Now, who is Saphomin?" I asked.
He smiled again, then a scythe went around his neck, it was Soul and Maka. I went up to him.
"Who.. Is.. Saphomin?" I asked.
"What makes you think I'll tell you," He said.
He disappeared again.
'Guess that ends the party,' I thought.
Everybody left.
"What was that?" Maka asked.
"That was the thing that brought me here," I said.
"I wonder who this Saphomin guy is," Soul said.
"I don't know, but I got a feeling I'm gonna find out," I said.
We all went back to the apartment and went to sleep.
