Arc III: Murders in the Midst
Shanon's POV
It was a week since Justin was let go. He seemed to be stalking me and thanking me at every chance he got. It. Was. So. Freaky. But yet, part of me thought it totally adorable. Anyways, we were all trying to relax ourselves. It was hard because Lord Death told us that we were supposed to go defeat the kishin when he told us to. We didn't know when that 'when I said so' was so it was really tense.
Ok so remember the cat that Tsuki got? It was really cute because it was purple. And purple ROCKS. Well, when we went to sit on a bench(for no apparent reason, the cat started talking. And what was even freakier than that, the cat she says her name is Blair, turned into a human and and OMG IT WAS FREAKY STUFF. Blair told us a lot about herself living with Soul and Maka so we decided to do them a little favor and 'return' her. Hehehehe… actually more like ditch Blair and run away screaming for our lives.
Ya… that was pretty scary… Well anyways, my bracelet(that I forgot to take off) started ringing. I answered it and Lord Death said it was time. Tsuki and I looked at him with open mouths but nodded anyways. And that's where we start out story! (Kuri-chan: it hasn't started already? Shanon: shuddup :O
XXX
We were all heading to the Caribbean Islands with Maka- who had just recovered- and Crona. When we got there, a lot of us just wanted to play on the beach, but Kid threatened to shoot them if we didn't continue. I for one actually wanted to get the mission over. So there we were doing our stuffs. Doing what Shibusen kids gotta do… O.o and we ended up in the middle of a deep scary forest :D It was very scary… Well in this giant clearing was hut which we all cautiously went into. The first person who went in(Kuri-chan) screamed so we all went in together to see what happened. That whole giant room was filled with skulls and there was two bodies there. 1 was being eaten and the other was doing the eating. I wanted to puke. "Sicko!" I said wanting to puke. The person eating the body turned around. It was Ally, or… Aki. "So… You want to die now or do you wanna go the hard way…?" I asked still freaked out. Aki hissed. "Who said I wanted to go?" I was all like, psh! "PFFFT! I did! Dur hur hurrrr…" Kuri-chan whacked me as I said that. "Be careful. This is a kishin." I nodded but then we all heard banging on the closet door. It was like 12 knocks. "UNSYMETRICAL PIECE OF GARBAGE!" Kid screamed to the door. Now I whacked him. "Shuddup Kid! Now's not the time!" Kid calmed down but we could all tell he was still upset about the symmetry. Suddenly the ground started to rumble and the kishin wickedly smiled. "W…wh…what t…h…e… h…e…lll?" I said as the ground started tossing us around. "Shanon! Help meeeee!" I heard Tsuki squeal as she was tossed near the kishin. "Screw this hut!" I hollered and totally exploded the place with alchemy :] Once the hut exploded, the shaking stopped but some people were angrily starring at me because they were covered in rubble. "Well excuse me for wanting to stop the shaking!" I muttered rolling my eyes. Soul and Kid sighed standing up. Maka Maka Chopped me and told me to never do that again.
It was awhile before we got back to our senses. "What do we do now?" I asked Maka who was still threatening to Maka Chop me again. "We fight the damned kishin," she replied. I nodded and held out my hand. But before I could say Kuri-chan's name, something grabbed my foot. "AHHHH! RAPE!" I screamed excessively loud. "YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP SCREAMING THAT TO THE WORLD SHANON!" Kuromi screamed back. I looked down. It was a hand. "AHHHH! GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME!" I screamed totally freaked out. "Shanon! Quit it!" I heard a voice say underneath the rubble. It was strangely familiar. "O…M…G… NO WAY," I said. Maka scampered next to me. "What?" she asked. Ok well now, practically everyone was either standing next to me or clearing out the rubble to see what grabbed my foot. "I…it's…" I started. Kuromi finished for me. "It's your parents." And it just so happened the rubble was clear off of them. They got up groaning in pain. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked them curiously. O.o My dad cleaned dust of his shirt. "The 'kishin' kidnapped us," he sighed. I laughed. "Hah, and to think you wanna lead a country," I mocked. He whacked me. "Shuddup." I hid behind Maka shivering in fear. Maka looked back at me. "So this is your parents?" she asked. I nodded still pretty scared. "They're…really nice…" I smiled. "Hah… you haven't even seen their nice side yet!" Tsuki stepped beside Maka. "She's right." Black Star jumped on some rubble. "I bet you they must have heard of the great Black Star!" he said pointing his finger to the air. My mom shook her head. Black Star opened his mouth wide almost fainting. I poked a stick at his frozen body. "Funny monkey. Funny monkey!" I laughed. Patty did the same thing. Kuromi had a disgusted-annoyed-look as she did a face palm. "Hey, where's the kishin?" Takuya asked. I stood up not poking Black Star anymore. "You're right. Where did she go?" Then out of nowhere a pebble fell on my head. I looked up. "What…the…hell? That's so stupid. Look at that! The hut is flying!" I announced laughing. Everyone else looked up to and started laughed. "It's not funny," my mom said. "I've seen that thing. It can shoot lazors."I snorted. "Lazors. Haha." Philip looked up concerned. "Should we… do something about it?" he asked. "You wanna somehow magically grow wings and do that?" I retorted. Philip sighed. "If only…" he muttered. I smiled. Slowly, the HHT started lowering. "Aww… the wittle HHT want to give us a ride!" I said smirking. Then I realized Soul was in weapon form. "We should get ready for this," Maka said. I nodded, held out my hand, and called Kuri-chan's name. She turned into a halberd. Kuromi stuck her head out and licked her lips, "This is gunna be fun."
Finally the HHT landed and the kishin came out looking extremely scary. "Dude, put on a mask or some make-up! You. Look. Hella freaky!" I commented. Aki took that as battle cry and started charging towards me. Somehow it had gotten huge claws. The kishin sprang up and tried to get me from the air but I dodged. Yet, it was too clever, it faked and turned the way I did, reaching out for me and missing by like a millimeter. "Ok, I'm officially scared. Anyone care to join me?" I said to the others. "Huh? Oh, right," they all said. But the sad thing was, the kishin went at them as fast as lightning striking them down one by one leaving only me and Kuri-chan. Sara groaned, "Damn it I can't move my body." Then she looked at me. "Watch out for the claws, Shanon. They're poison." I had my horrified-dramtic-look as I looked at the kishin charging at me. It kinda seemed like slow-mo. "Lightning," I whispered. "What are you thinking?" Kuromi asked me. I smiled. "Lightning." I closed my eyes and imagined lightning around my soul. "Sorry but this might hurt a bit," I told her. "Soul resonance!" Lightning seemed to supply our energy. I heard Kuromi crying out in pain but I warned her. Lightning seemed to be pulsing through my body. It surprisingly didn't hurt. When it stopped, Kuromi was now a double scythe thing only instead of the real blade, it had the shape of like jaggedish lightning with actual lightning pulsing through it. "Damn Shanon, that hurt like hell," she said. I smirked in response. Now the kishin was intensly close to us. I twirled Kuri-chan and tossed her at Aki. It sliced one side, turned around, sliced the other side, and came back to me hand. The kishin was screeching in pain as I saw lightning sparks flickering through her body. By now, all my friends(and my parents), had passed out. "We need to finish this," I told Kuromi. "and save the others before they die." Kuromi grunted. In front of me, the kishin disappeared. "Shit, where'd she go." I looked up. "There!" Springing up, the kishin and I moved around so fast you couldn't even see us. The kishin hit me with the parts with no poison but that was a lot so I fell to the ground breathing hard and bleeding badly. Kuromi turned back into human. "Get up," she said. Wearily I got up, but just as I did, the kishin stabbed Kuri-chan right through her body. Kuromi's eyes opened wide and she fell to the ground bleeding.
The world around me started spinning. My tears where streaming down my face. It was warm like fire. "Kuri-chan!" I screamed. Behind me, something whacked my back. "Fool!" someone said. "Get up and fight!" I spun around. It was Excalibur. I blinked and held out my hand. "You better be worth your crap," I told it standing up and facing the kishin. Kuromi looked at peace and her wound was healing. I wasn't paying much attention. Holding Excalibur ready, I face the kishin. "Bring it," I said. Aki charged at me and Excalibur glowed. I somehow grew wings with light. So, I held up Excalibur and the world around me exploded. When the light around me faded, I saw the kishin was knocked out but slowly recovering. Everyone who had passed out had woken up and Kuri-chan looked completely healed. Excalibur turned back into the little rat thing. He hit me with his cane and said, "Fool! Use your weapon partner now!" I smiled at him then held out my hand to Kuromi who gladly turned into a halberd. Then, I walked up to the kishin. I really didn't want to do it, but I did. "I'm really sorry," I muttered. Then, I destroyed the kishin. Aki's body exploded leaving the kishin's soul. Everyone stood around me as I held the soul. "What do I do with it?" I asked Maka. She held out her hand. "We give it to Lord Death," she replied. I nodded.
After all that, I was shivering. Kuri-chan, Tsuki, and my parents were trying to calm me down. "That was scawy!" I said almost crying. When Crona saw my fear, he nervously walk up to me. Then put a hand on my soulder and smiled. "Thanks to you and Maka, now I know how to deal with things." I grinned really wide and hugged him forgetting about the kishin. "YAYZ! CRONA'S NOT SCARED ANYMAOR!" I glomped him and everyone around me laughed. Even Crona laughed under me.

We got back to Death City. Sadly, my parents couldn't come. But I so totally accomplished something! Maka and I gave Lord Death the kishin soul and he buried it and put a cross on top. Then we all left and went on with out lives!
Owlie: sorry the kishin thing was lame! I can't write good fight scenes!
Neiyo: STOP BUTTING IN THE FRIGGIN STORY
Another couple of months later, Tsuki and I were sitting on a bench. Tsuki was reading a new book called 'Night Whispers' which was the latest book to the series. I got it for her birthday xD Occasionally she read a few paragraphs to me, but most of the time, she forced me to read it by myself. At the end of the book, I started crying. Tsuki was to. [Spoiler alert] The cat Flametail died and the Dark Forest cats wanted Ivypaw to kill him![end of spoilers] It was very sad! And to think all this stress he was put to! Justin noticed our dramatic 'episode' and walked up to us. "What's up?" he asked looked at the chapter we hadn't finished reading. "Sad book," I replied sniffling. He then paused for a moment looking at me slightly blushing. Then, he looked all serious. "I have one last thank you for you," he said. "But first, will you answer this one question?" Tsuki and I looked at each other betting on if we knew what he was going to say. "You wanna… go get something to eat with me later?" he said still slightly blushing. Tsuki and I looked at each other again. You would expect me to turn red and faint, but I didn't. I looked at him and held his hand. "Sure. That would be great!" I said smiling my usually smiled. He grinned big, picked me up and squeezed me(technically hugging) repeating thank you like a million times. Tsuki and I started laughed. "I thought it was one last thank you," I chided. "But this one's a big one!" he exclaimed. I laughed and then he put me down. Justin then left us saying he would meet me at the Cultural Café later. Smiling, I agreed. Tsuki smirked. "Looks like you aren't too immature after all," she stated. I smiled. "You're just jealous!" I exclaimed. She giggled. "Nah, books are practically married to me! Same with udon!"
"Udon powers! And you got that right. After all the book you've read, I think I've lost count on how many books you married and dumped!" I announced.
Tsuki Maka Chopped me with her book. "Shuddup," she huffed. I smiled.

When I got home, Kuromi was waiting for me. "I heard you got a boyfriend~" she said. I smiled. "You're just jealous it didn't work out for you and lover boy!" I said. She raised her hands in surrender. "Are you sure?" My mouth drop. "You back stabber!" I squeaked. Kuri-chan laughed. "Well, you want me to help you get ready?" I shook my head. "Nahhhhhhh, Justin's the type of guy who likes you for who you are. Not how you look." Kuromi smiled and let down her hair. "I'm glad you made a good choice," she said. I smiled back.
Together, me, Kuromi, and yes, lover boy, walked to the Cultural Café. "You guys out on a date?" I asked. Lover boy nodded. At the door of the café, I saw Justin waiting for me. My cat ears perked up and I ran up to him. "Hey! You're here!" I said looking up at him and smiling. He smiled back and put and arm around my neck. I held up a peace sign to Kuri-chan and smile. She laughed. So together, the four of us went inside. Haha… I started laughing and everyone looked at me. "What's so funny?" Lover boy asked. "Hah! If Tsu-chan were here, she would order a ton of udon!" I laughed really hard. Justin understood and laughed along with me. Kuromi and Takuya starred at as if we were insane. "AWw, aren't you two perfect!" I squealed. Kuromi kicked my shin really hard. I had to hold my breath not to screamed. "Shut up," she mumbled. Ok, then I started crying and sniffling. Kuri-chan wanted to say sorry but turned to Justin. "She's all yours." Justin smiled at me and patted my head. "Oh here comes the waiter! What do you want to eat?" he asked me. I stopped crying and smiled. "Spusgetti!" I sqealed. Justin laughed.
While we ate, we all had some pretty interesting conversations. At one point, some whispers spread around the rest of the café. Everyone else but us got quiet. I looked at them questionably wondering what was up. Then I heard someone behind me whisper to my ear. "Maka Albarn was murdered…" The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and the cat ears on my hat twitched. I had a horrified-scared-face look. My heart beat rapidly. Lover boy was the first one to notice my fear. "What's up?" he asked me. That scared expression died and I just smiled. "Oh nothing, I was something in my food," I said. Then, the chatter started up again and we continued eating as if nothing happened.
XXX
I was twisting and turning in bed and making a lot of noise when Kuri-chan told me to stop. But I couldn't. "Was it really something in your food?" she asked me. I blinked sadly. "No. It wasn't. It was something far worse," I replied. "What was it?" I shook my head. "I'll tell you tomorrow." Then I turned around and fell asleep
In the morning, Kuromi forgot about what I wanted to tell her and we went to school like usual. Only, during class, Maka wasn't there. Professor Stein thought that was odd and asked Soul where she was. He only shrugged and said Maka hadn't gone home. I shivered and the cat ears twitched. Stein noticed this. "Do you know anything, Shanon?" he asked. I nervously nodded and stood up. "Yesterday, someone told me that Maka was murdered." Everyone was gasping and whispers rippled through the class. The professor adjusted his screw. "Are you sure?" I nodded. Just then, Sid came in. "MAKA ALBARN HAS BEEN MURDERED!" he announced. And sure enough, everyone looked at me. "Who exactly told you?" Stein asked. I shrugged and sat back down. "Someone at the café whispered it to me while I was eating." Kuromi slammed her fist on the desk. "So that's why you were so freaked yesterday!" she proclaimed. I nodded to her. More whispers rippled throughout the classroom. Then, Sid and Stein whispered to each other. "Since you seem to know some things about it, please follow Sid," Stein told me. I froze. Kuri-chan nudged me then I nervously got up and walked down to him. When I passed Crona, he stopped me. "Don't worry Shanon. I know it's not you. Later, can you talk to me? I need to tell you something," he said. I nervously nodded and went to Sid. He studied me then motioned for me to follow him.
We walked around the DWMA and into the basement. "Woah! This place is huge," I breathed. Sid glanced at me then continued into a room full of blood. And in the middle was the body of Maka. I gasped in horror. "T…this is all Maka's blood?" I shivered in fear. Kid took over. "Yes, it is. But we have no evidence what so ever to who killed her," Kid told me. "Why are you telling me this?" I asked. Death the Kid stood up and looked at me. "You can help us track down the murderer. And you can't say no. We need you for this case. Your way of knowing things can help us in many ways." I blinked at him surprised. "A…are you sure?" I asked. He nodded. So I walked towards Maka's body. I wanted to puke. Who would do such a thing? There were at least 8 stabs to her heart and 8 cuts. The number 8… Could it be Kid? I shook my head. I shouldn't be making decisions to soon. Then I studied the way the body was cut. The murderer really wanted Maka to die. Those wounds were deep. But it was surprisingly neat. The person had to have been a surprise attacker or had knocked out Maka. I examined it more closely. "These wounds were made by a sword," I said coming to that conclusion. I motioned for Kid to take a closer look. He bent down next to me. "If it was any kind of curved weapon like a scythe, it would have a distinctive curve in the cut. And the lines are to neat to be anything but a thin sword." Kid saw my point and nodded. Then I happened to notice Maka's hands. There was blonde hair. Kid looked at it. It was probably as long as Kid's hair. The strands were directly from the scalp and it wasn't pulled apart. It could have been cut but who knows? Now I stood up and looked around. I was about to go into a closet that looked the bloodiest but Kid stopped me. "No! Don't go in there!" he exclaimed. I looked back at him. "Why not?" Kid looked worried. "J…just don't! Never go in there!" he said. I squinted at him and then looked back at the closet. "Can I look at the door?" I asked. The young reaper shook his head violently. I shrugged. "Fine." So I went back to Maka. Opening her eyelids, I saw her eyes seemed to have been blinded. "If this was done during the night, why was she blinded?" I asked myself. I thought for a moment. Then I heard the school bell ring. Standing I thanked Kid. "I need to go now. But there really isn't much I can do now. There's no trace of finger prints only the DNA of the hair. I'll be back tomorrow I guess," I told him leaving.
It felt great to be outside! Crona was there waiting for me so I skipped over to him. "What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked him. He pressed his fingers together trying to remember. "There was a lot of blood…" was all that he kept repeating while he pressed his fingers together. "What are you talking about Crona? How do you know?" I shook him violently. He started getting very pale. "Maka-chan was murdered with blood! Lots and lots of blood!" Crona started hyperventilating. "Crona! Crona! Snap out of it man!" I screamed in his face. Then I slapped him. Crona's breathing was controlled and he looked at me and said, "They're all going to be bloody! Every single one of them! Even the weapon will dieeee!" Crona screamed. I slapped him again. 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" He stopped, looked up and smiled. "So you came! Do you want to go to the park with me?" he asked innocently as if that episode never happened. I backed away looking horrified. Step by step. Crona sensed something was wrong. "Sha-cha?" he asked. I ran away. There was something wrong!
Philip's POV
Owlie told me to stop trying to like girls for this POV so I did. Anyways, I couldn't believe my ears when Shanon said Maka had been murdered. I was shivering the whole day. My best friend, Theo Athous, he had to calm me down during lunch. "Dude, Phil, calm down. It's ok!" he assured. It wasn't very reassuring. Theo patted my back. "Here, take the rest of my cookie. It'll make you feel better." I nodded and gobbled up his cookie. I stopped shivering. "Thanks!" I said grinning. Theo held his thumbs up.
At the end of the day, I saw Shanon running away from Crona. Did Crona kill poor Maka? Or did Shanon? I just shrugged and went back home with Takuya. The day made me shiver so much I decided to take a bath. But when I went to get a change of clothes, I saw that my clothes were partially burnt! "Takuya! What happened to my clothes?" I called. "I dunno!" he replied. Then I saw blood on my clothes and on the walls. "N…no! Damn it!" I said looking scared. I slammed the door closed and backed away. "Poor Maka!" I whimpered.
[no one's POV]
Shirlls and screams. Blood. Death. Murder. The blood of the next victim was everywhere. A silhouette stood in the moonlight with a sword covered in blood. The moon stopped laughing for there was nothing to laugh at. There was another murder. The murderer left no evidence but the victim had hair in its hand. The figure in the moonlight fled. Leaving its victim to die painfully. But not quiet yet did the prey die. It still had made a message…
