Chapter 12

A Discovery

The group was now running towards the sky scraper, their weapons still in her hands.

"I think we made it…" Ebony panted as they reached the elevator and pressed the button for the highest floor.

"Of course we made it." SharpSoul stated as they reached the top floor and transformed into his human form, watching as his three friends did the same. All eyes turned to ebony as her blade shone for a moment and her eyes turned blue.

"Mori?" Tsubaki asked, looking at the blade in her hands then back up at her friend.

"RavenGrin?" Mori asked, looking at Black Star, who chuckled nervously.

"Her hair and her smile, it worked better than 'Smiles.'" he explained.

"Yeah it does." Mori chuckled, then looked to her friends, "thank you, for getting me out of there..." she stated, bowing deeply.

"Mori, your blade, what does it say?" Soul asked suddenly, all eyes were on him but his gaze held hers.

"Hate and Battle…why?" she asked, looking at him confusedly.

"Everyone please leave this floor…" Soul demanded, not breaking the gaze he held with her. Everyone left the floor and went down a level and hung out on the floor below them.

"What the hell Soul?" Mori growled, not realizing the blade flash for a moment and the words change for a split second then return to its normal.

"Check the blade..." he growled, walking towards her.

"Ok…" she muttered looking at the blade, it held the same eerie gleam it always had. With the words 'Hate and Battle' etched into the blade in a chilling way.

"Now, what do you hate the most? The one thing that Ebony wants to kill?" he asked, inches from her.

Her eyes flashed green "You." she growled, angry by the closeness. Soul did nothing to react, only grabbed her knife hand and hold it up.

"Hmm…Love and Peace…interesting…" he muttered then looked at Ebony, who glared at him, he took a step back and her eyes returned blue again, the words 'Hate and Battle' etched into the silver blade once more.

"What the hell was that supposed to prove?" Mori snarled, getting pissed at him for using her as an experiment.

"Do you get some sort of…weird feeling when you change personalities?" Soul asked, turning his back towards her as he stared out the window and at the sun that was desperately trying to stay awake.

"Yeah…why?" Mori asked, an angry twitch in her voice.

"I believe I know why your blade changes when you change personas…" he stated, turning to look at him but not fully, "You're a weapon and a meister, well a Death Scythe and a meister." Soul added, slowly turning to face her.

"What?"

"Ugh, your hopeless, change personas." Soul ordered, his red eyes gleaming slightly.

"I don't get why…" She closed her eyes, her eyes flashed as she opened them again, an electric green peering out at Soul.

"Only a flash of the blade and the persona swaps from body to blade…" Soul muttered under his breath.

"Ok Soul, either you start making sense or I'm going to slit your throat." Ebony growled.

"You're a Death Scythe Mori, one of the strongest weapons in the world, except you don't need a meister, your like Liz and Patty."

"Who?"

"Brooklyn and BreakNeck. You have yourself to wield to wield your other persona." Soul stated.

"Let me get this straight…your saying that, I'm a meister and Mori is in this blade right now?" Ebony stated.

"Yes that's it."

"Liar…stop spinning lies and tell me why you sent everyone out." Ebony growled.

"Hey, hey, hey, no need for harsh tones. I sent everyone out so I could figure this out with out people asking me stupid questions." Soul sighed.

"Lair…you sent everyone out so you could kill me, right? Or rape me?"

"No! No, no that's disgusting, I feel insulted that you think would do that."

"You're a guy, you do what you want. All guys end up being like Maka's father."

"That is drawing the line there…I nothing like that cheating man-whore and I don't plan on ever becoming something like that…" Soul stated, shaking his head.

"Maybe not, but I still don't trust guys, they annoy the crap out of…" she stopped as she stared at the blade of her knife.

"whoa…don't attack me…" Soul gasped, backing up.

"Oh grow up…." she growled, getting a 'your a hypocrite' look. "Look…" Ebony stated holding her blade up to Soul, whose eyes widened.

Mori sat in the very tip of the blade, her knees drawn up over her face, her body giving off an unearthly glow, her long dark hair covering most of her legs. When Soul called everyone back in to see, the little picture of Mori disappeared and was replaced by a reflective surface, showing Mori's Blue eyes.
