Hey guys! Me again. So, I'm writing this chapter the day after I posted the last one… so yeah. I'm hoping to get on a more regular schedule for updating, but I doubt that's going to happen until the summer. Only a few more weeks though! June 15th is when I get out. (I think… I know it's on a Wednesday...) But… I was EXTREMELY bored yesterday/today, so I'm writing! I know I should probably be sewing or doing homework, but that can wait! Homework is boring (plus I left my algebra book at school… whoops!) and sewing requires too much effort. Okay, now I'm done with my (not so) little AN.
Disclaimer: If I owned Soul Eater, then I would share it with DtKK, Kid would have died, come back to life, been tortured, died again, come back to life AGAIN and Stein would be the main character. :3 (Along with Kid, of course!) I also don't own the Red Lion.
ALERT: This is a crossover arc! This particular one is for D. Gray-Man, (No, NOT pretty gay men, BakAlois and Mryah!) don't like, don't read! Flames will be laughed at, shown to friends, laughed at some more, printed off and used to roast hot dogs. (Or marshmallows… or both!)
To DtKK: I'm too lazy to PM you, so yeah. That explains why I'm putting it here. Soooo… the excuse thing actually came from that AN. (I think it was mirror mirror…?) But I do forgive you… just weird trust stuff from the past is gonna make it kind of difficult for things to seem normal again… so yeah.
Acknowledgements: My thanks go to 8fangirl8, DtKK, Rachel Ray Wolf and Vampireninja101 for reviewing the last chapter by the time I wrote this! So, yeah! Thanks for reviewing, you guys. :D
Another Alert: I haz a beta now! Thanks again to Vampireninja101. :D You're going to make my life a lot easier!
Onto the chapter!
MAKA POV
We arrived in Vancouver about four days (I have no idea how long it actually takes to get from the desert in Nevada to Vancouver, Washington, so let's just say it took four days.) after we left the DWMA. It was cold and wet, considering it was early spring still. We all decided to get our hotel rooms first, and then go talk to the meister/weapon pair that witnessed the phenomenon of black lights.
We quickly got rooms at the Red Lion at the quay. Tsubaki and I were sharing a room, while Liz and Patty had their own. The boys all got one room to share. We unpacked into the little closets (Tsubaki accidentally whacked me in the face with a door) and left, hurrying to a small Chinese restaurant that the pair told us to go to when we were ready.
It took us roughly ten minutes to get to the restaurant. "Geez, this place is a dump." Black*Star muttered under his breath. Truly, it was. The place was in shambles, and the food didn't look fit for human consumption.
There were three girls there, and a mother. One of the girls was wearing a purple wig and thigh high white boots with a miniskirt that was a slightly darker shade of purple than her shirt. Another girl was wearing a curly blonde wig that looked slightly strange; blonde was definitely not her color. She was also wearing a Japanese schoolgirl outfit that was dark blue with a bright red tie. The last girl was wearing her medium-length brown hair in pigtails and a red shirt with a khaki skirt. The adult looked normal; she was wearing black clothes that matched her short curly hair.
The girl with purple hair looked up at us and her eyes widened a bit. "Aren't you guys here for kumoricon?" she asked. (Okay, I know kumoricon is in September, but for the sake of this story it's in February. I'm going, so tell me if you guys are too! I'm also going to go to sakura-con, hope to see you there!) I nodded, and she looked even more confused, if that was possible. "But you don't have badges." She said simply. "We came to get something to eat. Other people are waiting in line for us." Said a voice I did not recognize. The look cleared from the purple haired girl's face and she went back to eating her… orange chicken? I think that's what it was.
I turned around and saw two girls who had just walked into the room. One had black hair that came to her shoulders, and the tips were bright red, like her eyes. She had tan skin and a few freckles. She was wearing a red spaghetti strap shirt and black hoodie. She wore a skirt that was slightly longer than mine, but it was black, save for a small strip of red near the bottom. She had over-the-knee black socks and black knee-high boots, which fit her well. She looked confident and kind of crazy, like a female version of Black*Star.
The girl standing next to her looked quiet and uncomfortable in the small space we were in. She had stormy grey eyes and pale skin. Her hair was tied into pigtails on the side of her head, though they were like two large swirls. On the top of her head the hair was white and it got darker, so the bottoms of the pigtails were midnight blue. Her outfit was the same as the girl next to her, but the color scheme was slightly different. Her shirt was the same shade as the bottom of her pigtails, while her hoodie was the same shade as her eyes. Her skirt was exactly the same, except the ring was blue instead of red. She had the same boots and socks.
The black haired girl smiled and led us to a room in the back of the restaurant that said 'employees only'. We sat down at a large table that was surprisingly nice, considering the state of the restaurant.
The black haired girl cleared her throat. "Okay, so you must be wondering who I am. My name is Haley, and I'm the meister that witnessed the lights." The blue/white haired waved and spoke. "My name's Kumori. It's nice to meet you." She said. She had a surprisingly clear and penetrating voice, it startled me. "I'm Maka. It's nice to meet you both."
Haley and Kumori nodded vigorously. "We know who you all are. You're famous now, because you all defeated Asura." They said in unison. Haley's smile faded and turned into a frown. "I… I'm really sorry about what happened to Kid. I… I met him once. He was kind to me and helped me study." Kumori laughed a little. "He gave us these outfits to make us 'more symmetrical' or something like that." Liz and Patty smiled. "That sounds like something he'd do." Liz mumbled beneath her breath.
Kumori placed a hand on my shoulder, and I realized tears had filled my eyes. I blinked them away and smiled at her. She removed her hand and frowned at me. "So, these weird lights have something to do with Kid, don't they?" She asked. I nodded. She sighed and stretched. "We saw them over the river. There were little black orbs surrounding one big one, and they all descended into the water. It was near the I-5 Bridge, slightly to the right from our side of the river." Said Haley, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I sighed and stood up. "Thanks. We can take it from here." They nodded and wished us luck as we left the restaurant. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the three girls staring at us. I heard muffled whispers of "Where is Kid?" and "Stein is my favorite, no doubt about it." and "You guys are crazy." I couldn't tell who they came from though.
My heart clenched at the mention of Kid, but I threw my sad thoughts into the wind. I can't dwell on the past right now. I need to focus on the future and finding Kid. I repeat in my head.
The sunshine disappearing from my face wakes me from my daydreams, and I look up. I see the others doing the same. A cloud passed over the sun… but wait. "Why does that cloud look metallic?" Crona asked. I gulp. Oh shit. Is all that I think before we get barraged with bullets. I brace myself for the impact… but it never comes. Wait, what?
Hey guys! So, yeah. You meet the characters from DGM next chapter. I think this is the longest chapter I've written. It was originally going to be longer, but I wanted to leave it in a cliffie. :3 See you guys next chapter! Please review! It makes me happy!
