Blargh, last chapter had such a bad ending. Ah wells. Hope you all enjoy the newest chapter! Also, please go vote on the poll in my profile page. It'll decided which story I finish first. It will end January 14th. Rawr, while I was writing Matsu's explanation of the dreams, she had a texan accent in my head. I think I lost it a little... Also, I might change how I spell Patty from time to time. Sorry 'bout that.

*~Story Start~*

"Last one!" I cheered. Kaiyo swung me forward and slammed into the last puppet. It broke into pieces before disappearing into smoke. Kaiyo settled me down on the grass and I changed back. I jumped up and gave her a high five. "Awesome shot sis."

She smiled back. "Thanks."

"Good job you two." We looked over at Medusa-san. She was siting on a rock away from us, writing down notes. "You've progressed very well."

We beemed. After a hard two weeks of training everyday, we improved a large amount. Training actually worked - who knew? However, Medusa-san always told us that we couldn't tell anyone what we training to do for some reason. So, whenever we were asked about it by the gang, we had to change the subject. Thankfully, but annoyingly, Black*Star's started to declare that we we're building a shrine to him. Yeah, right. Kid's version was a little better, but slightly odd. He claimed we were off practicing symmetry. Can you even do that? Ah well...

We grinned. "Thank you Medusa-san. When do you think we'll be able to use the technique?" Kaiyo asked, sitting down.

She smiled that smile. If you've seen her, you know the one. The smile that looks nice, but a little creepy at the same time. "Very soon. Infact, you should have it by next week."

Our eyes light up (probably). "Really? That's great!" I cheered.

She nodded. "Very good. Expecially since you two have a mission next week."

We blinked. "We do?" Kaiyo asked, tilting her head to the side.

She nodded again. "Shinigami-sama's assigning a special mission to you two, as well as Kid."

Kaiyo blushed slightly. I smirked at her, and she glared. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Medusa. "So what do we gotta do to learn it?"

She reached into her bag and pulled out a bottle of pills. She threw them towards me. I caught them with ease and looked them over. "All you have to do is have Matsu eat these pills every night until your mission. You should be able to use the technique by then."

Kaiyo frowned. "That's it? Then what was the point of all the training?" She asked.

"It was to make sure you two were strong enough for it. Even if you had this technique, if you couldn't control it there'd be no point." She explained, getting off the rock. She started to leave, looking at the two of us over her shoulder. "Good luck you two."

We watched her walk away before looking at eachother. "Am I the only one getting a bad feeling about this?" Kaiyo asked.

I shrugged, stuffing the pills in my pocket. "Whatever. C'mon, let's head back."


Ow. Ow. My goddamn head.

I marched beside my twin to Shinigami-sama's room. My head was down as she directed me through the empty halls. Everyone else was in class.

"You don't look to well." I looked up to see Kid and his two weapons.

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks Kid. You really know how to make a girl feel special."

He shrugged. "As long as you two are symmetrical." He said, walking alongside us.

I growled, my hammer-ing hand becoming a fist. "If my head didn't hurt so much, I'd smash your un-symmetrical head in."

His head whipped around to look at me, eyes opened wide. "Don't say that! I am perfectly symmetrical. Perfectly!"

I smirked, and pointed to his head. "Three lines. Your left side."

He froze for a moment, before jumping at my sister, burying his head inbetween her neck and shoulders. "How horrible I am! Being unsymmetrical filth! I should just die and save the world some trouble."

Kaiyo blinked rapidly, a blush forming on her face. "Kid-kun!"

I glared lightly. "Oi. I said that to annoy you, not have you harass my twin."

Liz laughed slightly, walking over next to me. "So, what's wrong with you."

I looked up at the older Thompson and sighed. "Been getting these annoying nightmares that have been keeping me up. They're all pretty much the same. Dark room, lots of screaming, red flashes and this wierd black goo. It's annoying as hell." While I explained the dreams, I noticed Kid looking over at me. I turned to him. "You gunna let go now?"

"No! Not until I can re-pay the world for having dealt with my unsymmetrical self." He sobbed, hiding again. Kaiyo blushed more and I growled. I turned on my heel and started walking towards Shinigami's-sama's room.

"C'mon. If we take to long, he might 'Shinigami Chop' someone. Hopefully Kid." I called, wlaking away from the group. Liz and Patty caught up with me, but Kaiyo was a little slow.

"Guys, please wait! Kid-kun's heavy!"


"And that's your mission. Any questions!" Shinigami-sama asked, sticking a giant finger in the air.

I looked around at the others. Kid, like I had predicted, had been Shinigami Chopped as soon as we walked in. He was still lying on the floor, symmetrically of course. Kaiyo kept looking over at him, and seemed more focused on something other than a mission for once. Liz was looking at her nails discreetly, and Patty was humming to herself about giraffes. So just me and Kid, unless he was unconcious and it was just me, had been the only ones listening. I sighed and shoved my hands in my pockets. "When do we leave?"

Shinigami smiled, I think. "Tomorrow morning. Good luck on your mission. Out you go to prepare." He said, waving us towards the door.

Kaiyo and I left as the Thompson sisters tried to drag Kid out. Kaiyo looked over at me. "Are you sure about this sis? What about your headaches?"

I smiled at her. "It's fine. I'll be totally top shape tomorrow. And we've got the technique Medusa-san taught us, so we've got nothing to worry about." I pumped my arm in the air. "Now let's go get ready to kick butt!"
