Life as a Staff Meister

Chapter 29

The Final Mission:

Will Miley and Mason reach 99 souls?

Miley stood in front of the Mission board. She was reading them very carefully, she wanted their last one to be a good one. "Which one do you want?" She asked her partner. Mason was doing the same thing she was.

"Not sure, I wish one would just jump out at us."

"Hey! You are blocking my way to greatness!" Came a yell from behind them, causing Miley to jump and heave a sigh.

"Black*star there is no need to yell." Tsubaki said. She looked to the younger team. "It doesn't usually take you guys this long to choose one."

"Well, it will be our ninety-ninth soul, so we're really thinking it over I guess." She muttered rather embarrassed.

"No way, you guys are really ready to get your ninety-ninth soul." Said Soul come it out of no where with Maka just behind him.

"Great job, which mission are you thinking about taking." Maka asked.

"That's what we're trying to figure out now." Unbeknownst to Miley, Mason had chosen one off the wall. He held it up to her.

"Let's do this one." She quickly read it and almost laughed. "Let's finish where it all began."

"I guess, we're going to France."

"Well, after we finish class today." He laughed. He watched Miley cover her face. The feeling of dread coming off of her like a soul wavelength. "What's the matter?"

"Geez, I don't to tell Stein." She sighed.

"Tell me what?" He wondered what he missed. He knew it wasn't bullying with Maka's whole team there. He watched Miley tense then relax. She turned around to face him.

"Mason and I are going back to France." Stein wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not, he would let Miley finish explaining. "We're going after out ninety-ninth soul."

"Good for you." He said simply. He wondered how he missed the collecting the other nine. He miss counted somewhere. "I guessing you want the homework."

"If it's not to much trouble."

Miley felt strange. Stein wasn't going with them, Miley had just realized she never gone out of the country without him. Miley looked around Pairs as they walked, it almost felt like she was looking on it for the first time again. Her mind was overflowed with everything around her.

"So do we want to get this done tonight, or muck around for a little bit."

"Mason if we can get it done and go home, it would be so much better." She said with taking a bite of the parfait that they where sharing. "If take this soul we can go after Katsune, without being yelled at."

"We didn't get yelled at for taking on Medusa either. You worry too much Miles." While they where sitting they started to hear rumors about people disappearing around the same street. Miley knew she'd heard the name before and when they arrived she knew why. They arrived in a very familiar alleyway. It was the same place they had fraught together the first time. Mason gave her a wide smile.

"You said, you wanted to end it where it all began." She muttered to him.

Stein was typing away on his computer. He leaned back and lit the cigarette hanging from his mouth. He wondered how they were doing. He wasn't worried they could handle any kinshin egg thrown at them. He was more worried about what would happen after they captured the soul of a witch. The door bell rang bring him back from his thoughts. He quickly answered the door, he found Marie with her hands full. One of the bags she was carrying was about to slip from her hand. He quickly grabbed it and moved so she should get inside.

"Sorry, I couldn't reach my keys." She called from the kitchen. He came in with the bag he was carrying.

"It's fine,you brought more than usual."

"I'm surprised you're so calm." Stein was trying to figure out what she was talking about. "I mean they're by themselves."

"I'm sure they can handle it. Mason will most likely be a Death Scythe by the time they get back." Marie gabbed at him.

"Please tell me your joking."

"I'll kill her, if he is." He said taking a puff on his cigarette.

"That sounds more like, I'm surprised you're not freaking out right now."

"Who said I'm not." He said look at his partner and lighting another cigarette. She passed him another pack, that she had pick up at the store.

"Earth Shaker!" Miley jabbed Mason thought the form. The only thing that was left was the Kishin egg. "well that's tha.." She faltered and Mason caught her.

"That's for sure. Let's go home."

They arrived back in Death City and all Miley wanted to do was go to sleep. She turned on the light when the walked in. Maka, and the others jumped out. "Surprise!"

"Oh guys, I don't want to party, I want to go to sleep."

"Why not have some food, it might changed you mind." Miley found a plate her hand and agreed.
