"Hey Death Scythe, picked up the mail for you." Marie said walking in with a smoothie in one hand and a small crumpled envelope in the other. "So, are you ready for today's man training? Today we're actually going to talk to Kami."

"I got mail? This is weird." He said playing around with the letter simply reading 'Death Scythe, Death City, URGENT' He ripped the envelope open and read some quick chicken scratch. Death Scythe made a slight chocking noise and tossed the letter down. "Do you remember Nuru Olubunmi?"

Death Scythe got up and began walking down the hall. Marie quickly rose and followed him. "Nuru, as in, your adopted little sister, she was Stein's partner too? The white scythe?"

"That's her, I got an SOS from her." Death Scythe grabbed what seemed to be the large curtain for a window and pulled it back showing a grand mirror. "You can hop mirrors, right. You're able to do that, aren't you?"

"No, I'm not that powerful. 'Friad that's just you and Shinigami." She said and saw Death Scythe touch it and it went to a small reflection on a street. He quickly walked through leaving Marie yelling: "Hey where are you going?"

Death Scythe ran down a street in some unknown town, in an unknown country and ran over to what looked like some cheap hotel. He didn't waste any time actually going to a door, there was a number in the letter telling him which one. The scythe kicked open the door to 112 and found the room empty, a couple blood spatters in assorted places and some junk food wrappers on the floor. "Nu! Nu!"

There was a loud bang from the closet. Death Scythe quickly grabbed the door and ripped it open to see a small young woman with bruises on her face that could be see against her carmal complexion. Death Scythe quickly stepped in and knelt down removing the gag from her mouth. "What happened?"

"My meister, he's gone crazy." She cried softly. "He's been killing innocents and eating their souls himself. He's becoming a kinshin." She said and Death Scythe quickly began untying her.

"Why couldn't you cut yourself lose?"

"Witch's rope, it doesn't cut." She said and Death Scythe untied her and grabbed her by the arm pulling her to her feet. "We've got to get out of here."

Her words were drowned out by a horrible screaming. The two looked to the door to see a haggardly old woman step in front of it. She cackled and stepped into the room. "Ti Ti tiger." Nuru was hit backwards by an invisible force that left her dress cut and showing blood from claw wounds. The woman went to move another finger and Death Scythe ran and changed throwing himself at the witch. She landed in to two piece that disappeared giving rise to a small purple soul that Death Scythe quickly ate. "Tastes like cheese… Must be in Wisconsin."

"France." Nuru corrected as Death Scythe picked her up. "I can walk."

"It'll be faster, plus I came by mirror." He said and stepped outside to see Nuru's meister, he was buff and defiantly looked like a guy who'd hit a woman. Death Scythe was about to set her down when a leg appeared in front of the miester's face, opened and captured him, cutting off the top of his head. As the miester toppled over Justin Law landed, his head phones blaring loudly. "Justin."

"HELLO DEATH SCYTHE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER HERE?" Justin yelled happily. Death Scythe's eye twitched a bit and Justin remember his warning and took off his head phones. "So, what's going on?"

"I'm playing hero, this is the damsel in distress and you're the comic relief." Death Scythe said and began walking, "how long has Shibusen known about his activities?"

"About… twenty minutes. I just saw him conspiring with that witch over the weapon's soul. Now, where is the weapon?" Justin asked following him. "I need to get him to safety."

"Taken care of." Death Scythe said quickly.

"And I'm a she." Nuru corrected she suddenly felt dizzy and became aware she was somewhere else. "Ugh, so that's what it feels like going through a mirror."

"Death Scythe…" Said Justin from the mirror. Marie who was standing by waved at him. Justin quickly nodded and waved back. "Death Scythe, it's my jurisdiction, I'm going to need to… Does he always do that?"

"Well, she's very important to him, he helped raise her." Marie said. "We'll get this all squared away, don't worry." She said and closed the curtain on him. Marie quickly began walking behind him and caught up and looked to Nuru. "Hi Nuru, you probably don't remember me, do you?"

"Uh…" She said and shook her head. "The eye patch is familiar, something about crushing something…."

"I'm Marie, I'm a hammer." She said and stuck out a hand. Nuru reached out a thin hand and shook hers. "When was the last time you ate, poor thing?"

"It's probably going to have to wait until after the stitches." Death Scythe said and was actually relieved to see Stein had walked into his house unannounced. Death Scythe set Nuru down on the table and pointed to her, "Stein, sow her up."

"Hey Nuru." Stein said and pulled a needle and some thread. "I think I have a theory on Norman."

"Don't worry about that, fix my little sister." Death Scythe said angrily.

"Right Sempai." Stein said and bent her down and began looking at the scars and dipped the needle into her stomach. She clenched and Death Scythe sat down in a chair and grabbed her hand and squeezed.

"You haven't gotten any better at the pain part, have you Stein?" Nuru asked and Stein laughed a little and kept going. Nuru turned to Death Scythe, "Spirit, where's Kami at?"

Death Scythe stopped, "we divorced almost a year ago… I suppose you were cut off."

"That sucks. You messed up, I liked Kami. She was so nice." Nuru said and screamed a little as the need dipped in again. A few minutes later, Stein was finished and she sat straight up. "Well, that's still unpleasant. I'm going to go raid your room for clothing, alright, Spirit?"

"Sure Nuru, if you look in the closet I think I might have some of Kami's clothes left over." He said and watched her disappear. "Poor kid, getting beaten like that and still thinks nothing of it."

"Well, she gets her attitude from you." Stein said and looked over at Marie and back at him. "I'll be by later with my theory." Stein turned and vacated quickly.

"Is he upset at me?" Marie asked, "he's avoiding me like…. A person who avoids me."

"It's Stein, and he thinks someone's out to kill him, so he's being weird…er." Death Scythe explained. As they heard the obvious destruction of his bedroom he sighed and hatched an idea. "Have you tried cornering him and asking him what's wrong?"

"Well, no…" Marie said and began thinking.
