"They have to be headed that way!" Fred roared as he slammed his fists into trees. Ferrah stood with the other soldiers and watched in worry as her brother threw a fit, they were right Kid's trail but Fred had felt something off.

"Why do I feel like something has been taken?" he mumbled as he regrouped with his sister: "Like as if someone knows about one of the doors..."

Black*Star woke up and patted the space where his lover should have been but was gone! As he raised his head he found Tsubaki reading some file before putting it back in her bra. Star waved at her and she smiled before speaking:

"So, I found more info on the cherished door and it turns out it is the door for answers that the Star clan used to visit when they had a tough job fall into their hands." Black*Star put on his clothes and sat beside Tsubaki: "What do you think Star? Shall we go and find the Cherished door?" he simply nodded and kissed her.

After some talking to Kid and the others the group (Soul, Maka, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Sam, Ken, Huno, and Kurai) was able to go on this "field" exercise to learn more about how to survive in the wilderness in case they got lost. Black*Star and his two disciples took care of leading the way and cutting the way to the door as Tsubaki explained to the remaining group:

"The Cherished door in a way is like the good side of good versus evil compared to The Unholy Door, The Cherished Door loves and cares for all and will answer your questions no matter what as long as you show it respect. When we get there you must bow and state your name before asking a question ok? The Cherished Door only asks for that so maybe we can understand why you have that key Soul if The Unholy Door wants blood and says nothing about a key." Soul pulled the key out and kept it in his fist.

As the group arrived Maka, Soul, and Ken pushed a boulder out of the way and revealed a cave with a huge amount of sunlight pouring in at various spots, there was the green and silver door.
The Cherished Door was there unlocked and ready for questions. The younger ones of the group all looked the door over and lined up ready to ask.

"Bunch of idiots still huh?" Star commented walking up to the door. The lock dropped and Star slowly pulled the green half of the door open as the silver followed on it's own. Inside was what appeared to be a door with reflective glass like a mirror. "Star, remember the deal." Tsubaki reminded him stepping beside him. Black*Star bowed and spoke: "My name is Black*Star, it is an honor to meet you."

"I have lived many many years and it has been far too long since I have met one of the Star Clan, are you the child of White*Star?"

"I am..."

"Even though your Clan's line of work is frowned upon your father cared greatly for you."

Black*Star took Tsubaki's hand and breathed slowly before asking: "Will me and my family live happily even if I keep up this line of work?" The Cherished Door lit up and then spoke:
"You may not be there for long but I assure you they will live very happy lives in all of their years to come. Star closed his eyes and slowly smiled as him and Tsubaki embraced. Ken nervously stepped forward and asked: "Will I be a good dad?"

"Yes, all of your girls will love you."

"Girls?..." he turned to Sam who simply whistled and looked around playing it off.

Jen rolled her eyes and walked up: "Why does Captain Soul have this key to The Unholy Door?"

"It was placed there by Charles."

Maka spoke: "Who is Charles and why does he need Soul to open the door?"

"Charles is the leader of The Unclean and he needs Soul to open the door for him to gain power."

Soul took a deep breath and looked firmly at the door before speaking:

"Who is the weapon and why must they give their blood?"

The Cherished Door shined brightly and as it reverted the only people that were shown in the mirror were,

Soul

Kid

Black*Star

and a tall white haired man.

"These are the four choices of offerings." Tsubaki used her question:

"Who is that?"

"Charles"

Sam spoke: "What did you mean by offerings?"

"Exactly what the term means."

Soul's heart began to pound quickly, he was just told his role in this, what he meant and it frightened him...

"I am nothing more then a meal..."

"Is the key used to stop that?!" Kurai asked scared.

"It is nothing more then a play thing used to trap Soul inside the door as supper."

Soul began to hyperventilate before falling over and blacking out.

Not an amazing chapter or well written out but pretty good none the less no?
