"Awww, but Angie it won't be any fun without you there!"Marisa whines, you smile at her as you straighten her up, getting her ready for school. You place her hat on her head.
She grunts at you"I know, but I have to follow what Lord Death has said to me."you tell her, you go and get her things together. Coming back you hand her, her bag.
"But Black Star is your teacher, I don't see why Professor Stein has to be."Marisa folds her arms.
"You're acting just like Black Star."you smile as you roll your eyes.
She was giving the same attitude that Black Star gave you a few days ago. You had to tell him that from now on Professor Stein would be taking over your training. Hearing that Black Star was highly upset. He demanded to know why he had to be replaced. You tired your best to get him to understand. But he was being Black Star. Because of this you would have lessons away from the others now. One on one with the professor, you couldn't wait to get started. Since it started the sametime as school, you had asked if Tsubaki and Black Star could pick up Marisa. Which Tsubaki did not mind to do.
A knock came on the door, you go and open it"Hey guys, Marisa come on we have to go. Tsubaki is here."you call for her.
She slowly drags her feet you and Tsubaki look at eachother and chuckle. Closing and locking your door, the three of you make it down stairs. You give Marisa a hug, which she stubbornly refused to give back. But it didn't phase you at all. You wave to them, putting on your bag, you make your to the professor's home.
It didn't take long, where he lived was a bit away from the others, and it did give off a eerie feel. Coming to his door you knock on it, and then waited. Nothing yet, you knock again, still nothing. You look around trying to see if was home.
"P-Professor Stein? Are you home? It's me Angel, Lord Death said I was having lessons with you now."you announce yourself.
Still nothing, you shiver just a bit, in your black tank top. You where not dressed in your normal clothes. You wore something fitting for this, just a simple black tank top with black workout pants and gray shoes, you put your hair up in a low messy pony tail with a few strands of hair out. You where just about to knock again, when the door open. And there the Professor stood there, with his normal board expression dressed in nothing but gray workout pants, you noticed he did not have a cigeratte in his mouth. He looks down at you causing a glare on his glasses.
You smile at him"Good morning Professor Stein, I'm ready to start."
He looks at you, he looks at your smile. You felt the silence between you both, your smile fades. You started to feel uncomfortable. He realized this.
"Let's get started then."he gives you a small a very small smirk.
Closing his door, he starts to walk away, you hurry and follow him.
He led you out of the city, walking across the dessert, you didn't know how long you where suppose to go. But you kept at it, trailing behind him. He looked back at you, Spirit was right, you had your mother's inner strength, her presevence.
Finally coming to the spot, it was a empty cavern though it was much cooler. A small little river ran through. Wiping your brow, you fan yourself.
"Alright then, lets get started"Stein tells you.
You stand up straight"..."
"I have been caught up about the fact Black Star has been training. So you have training, then we can skip the intro. Your wavelenght Angel is different among others. Do you know why?"he asks you.
You shake your head no at him"You have wavelenght that does not have a mold. Meaning there is no form to it. Also meaning it's very strong. Though your wavelenght is formless, sounds good it's not really. It can kill if you don't understand how to work with it. Your mother had the same type. I'm here to help you master it. I will be honest it has never been done in history. Infact this wavelenght is very unperdectiable. Infact I could get killed from it. Only if I where to enage you in combat. Which you could most likely win."he tells you like it was nothing"So first things first, now that you know, you have to let go of any fear you have. That is one down fall to it. Angel, you're going to model your wavelenght into what you want. If you don't want to do this, that's fine."
The wind blew as you listen to everything he said, he waited for your anwser. You didn't know really what to say to this, you came here with high spirits. And now hearing this, everything just dropped. He saw the look on your face, though his face expression did not change.
Bitting the bottom of your lip as it trimbles, you drop your head, you then bring it back up quickly with a smile on"Then I will form my wavelenght into the most wonderful wavelenght ever."
Stein smiles"Good job you passed the first test"he then gets in a stance, and you copy him.
Time went by with the two of you, day turned into night, Marisa with Black Star and Tsubaki who had to deal with these two hot heads. A knock came at the door, she hurries to anwser. Only for Black Star and Marisa to jump and push her out the way as they yank the door open.
"Angie!"they yell in sync
"Sorry you two it's only me"Spirit smiles at them.
They look and see him , Black Star huffs as he walks away and plots back down.
"Where is Angie?"Marisa demands from him.
"She's not back yet, I thought I come and get you."Spirit tells her"Something tells me she will home by the time we get there, plus I promised her I would pick you up."
Marisa waste no time as she grabs her stuff and leaves. Spirit thanks the two as he hurries and follow the hyper girl.
Finally coming back form training, your body was aching, but you did mind. Stein on the other hand was just fine. You where barely able to keep up with him, you had to rest a few times before you both made it back to the city. Stein could have easly offered you some help but he didn't.
"Professor Stein...why where you not smoking?"you asks him.
"...Just something I might do new"he tells you.
"...I see, Professor Stein do you know anything about my mother you can tell me?"you asks him through breaths.
"...You shouldn't talk you might pass out."he tells you"Here we are"he looks up at you place.
You see it, and smile. The light was on, your uncle and Marisa where home.
"Their home."you go up the steps, Stein watches you, he then starts to leave"Professor Stein"you call to him, he stops and looks at you"Would you like to come in for dinner?"
"No."he tells you flattly and starts back up walking, you watch him.
"Ok, well thank you again."you wave to him. YOu then go inside.
Stein walks down the streets to his home byself. He thought back to the training. You pushed yourself much harder then he had thought. It reminded him so much of your mother.
"Stein"a young Catherine calls to him in his mind. She flashes her smile at him just like you did.
He rubs his eyes. He thought back to what his friend Spirit told him.
This was the time he would be able to grow towards you. Develop the bond he needed to do, it was his job. Since your mother was gone, he was there, and it was now his turn. Just Stein didn't know how to do so, you had so much your mother in you, what part of him was in. True you where smart, and so was your mother. He cared for his students at the school, but now he had to care from much more than the others. It was you, a man of science.
He reaches his home, unlocking his door he goes inside, it was so empty in here. So cold, as he looks around his eyes land on the picture of Catherine, where the only light in his home from outside shown on. He walks over to it as he picks it up. He looks down at it. He remember this, She had asked him to take it, when she was the Catherine he knew, she much older it was night photo of her sitting on a hill he long dark pink hair tied in a ponytail in the middle with a yellow was just gazing out into the open when he took it. He couldn't help but have a small smile come to his lips. If she were hear he could just imagine what she would say to him.
