First Days Troubles
3RD POV:
Death the Kid stands in one of the bathrooms in Gallows Mansion as he checks off each of the rooms around his home for any faults. "The toilet paper is neatly folded. Mm-hmm, exact and perfect." He walks out, procrastinating before he and the twin leave for school.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
"The picture frames are also exactly level with the ground. Mm-hmm, exact and perfect. The candle lengths are also the same on the left and right sides. Mm-hmm, exact and perfect." He states as he looks in front of the candles in the hallway of his large home.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
Death the Kid walks out with the doors to his home, opening automatically. "Left-right symmetry is my aesthetic," He says, and the doors close behind them automatically. "We're off to school, Liz and Patty." He announces to his two Demon Weapons on either side of him at the front door of his family home.
"Enough already, Kid. we're already three hours late." Liz reminds him, looking utterly bored as she stands to his right and her sister to his left looking just as bored, having waited for him for a few hours.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
"For today's class, we'll be conducting a dissection lab," Stein announces to the Crescent Moon Classroom, shocking the students, but Rebecca smiles, not bothered even a little bit.
"Um… Dr Stein, ever since you became our teacher, we haven't done anything besides dissection lessons." Maka says as she raises her hand awkwardly.
"Which is why… this time, we'll be taking apart something besides the usual frog or mouse." He informs the class, confusing them. "The lab subject that we will be cutting up this time is over here." He points over to a cage with the rare bird inside with Rebecca, smiling at the animal inside. "This protected animal, Tokiko."
"Protected animal?!" The class exclaims in shock; Rebecca looks at her father with a glare; though she has the same urges to dissect anything at any time, she has a better hold on her desires, unlike her father. She knows not to do something like this, even though it seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Um… that is a very valuable bird, on the brink of extinction." Maka raises her hand again even more awkwardly as she speaks, trying to stop the death of a protected animal.
"We can't have you going extinct before I can take you apart, huh?" Stein questions as he looks at the rare bird, which seems to sense the intention of the madman and his daughter.
"This guy is hopeless. This guy is messed up." Maka groans and hears her friend Tsubaki give a sigh; she looks next to her at the ravenette Demon Weapon, who seems overly glum for unknown reasons.
"Come to think of it, Soul and Black Star are not here, are they? Is something the matter?" Rebecca asks the two girls as she looks at them, having taken the attendants already.
"Those two are just cutting class like they always do. Seriously, they're such a couple of idiots." Maka complains, not knowing what was really going on, that Black Star had taken Soul as his new Weapon, unaware that Tsubaki knew, and that was why she was feeling so down. "If those two want to be together so badly, let them team up together. Right, Tsubaki." She jokes, startling the Weapon next to her.
"No, Maka! They can't!" Tsubaki panics as she shakes Maka around violently; Rebecca sees the fear in the ravenette's eyes, seeing the familiar look and sighs.
"That won't do, will it? I believe you are all aware of this already, but we're going to be getting a new student in this class today." The greenette informs the class as she looks at the two girls, knowing how upset Tsubaki feels.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
Black Star stands at the front of the DWMA at the main entrance, acting all excited. "Today! There is! Somebody, I must assassinate! Right now! There is a rumour that is the talk of the Academy! Lord Death's son is supposed to be enrolling! I can't let any rumours that aren't about me flourish!" Black Star declares loudly in his loud voice as Soul sits by one of the columns away from his best friend, not wanting the blue-haired loudmouth shouting into his ears.
"Yeah. That's the sort of guy you are," Soul remarks as he lowers his head at his overzealous friend, smiling.
"For that matter, when is his dirty, lazy son going to get here?! We've been waiting here for three hours already!" Black Star shouts, and it travels down to the three walking up the stairs towards the Academy, unaware of the unwelcoming party at the top, wanting to fight the little Shinigami. Eventually, the three latecomers climb the long stairs to the top of the famous Academy to the main grounds where the two boys are waiting for them.
"After being raised on the streets for so long, we sisters finally get to go to school. Isn't that great, Patty?" Liz asks her younger sister, feeling proud of herself and her sister as she walks behind her.
"I'm so happy, ya bastards!" Patty replies, just as excited at the new start, skipping as they walk up the long never, ending stairs.
"Wow, magnificent. I should have known, this being Father's school. Such wonderful symmetry." Kid compliments as they walk to the top of the stairs to the main entrance, unaware that Black Star and Soul are waiting for them. As Shinigami and Demon Weapons reach the top with Soul there to greet them.
"By any chance, are you guys the son and his entourage we've heard about?" Soul asks them; the three of them look to see Soul alone sitting down leaning against one of the columns.
"Are you here to show us around the school?" Kid asks him, making the Demon Weapon chuckle at the ridiculous question.
"You're tardy after just barely enrolling, and you want me to show you around? Capitalising on the seven good graces of your father is something else, all right." The white-haired teen comments, looking up at them with hooded eyes and a smirk showing his pointed teeth to the three newcomers.
"What? Seven good graces?None of that '7' business! '8'! '8'! Make it '8'!" Kid exclaims, feeling discomfort from using the number 7 as he points in Soul's face confusing the poor teen.
"Huh?" He questions, looking utterly confused at the young Shinigami.
"If you divide '7' in half, there's no left-right symmetry! But what about '8'? Cut it vertically or horizontally, and there's perfect symmetry! No more '7'. Make it '8'. Please." Kid panics, freaking Soul out even more at his overreaction to the number.
"Hey, are you alright?" He asks the Shinigami, who is kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"No, he's fairly hopeless," Liz tells the fellow Weapon as her sister laughs at their Meister, both used to the reactions of the Symmetry fanatic.
"Yahoo!" Black Star shouts from up high above them on the top of the Academy's spikes, the group on the ground glance up at the wannabe assassin. "I won't let anyone try to outshine me, no matter who they are!" He shouts, but it's slightly muffled due to being so high up.
"What's that? A monkey?" Liz ponders, looking up at the small figure shouting down at them from above.
"Hey, Death's son! I'm going to assassinate you!" Bigmouth shouts, jumping around on the red spike.
"Oh, it is a monkey," Liz confirms, looking up at him, not overly bothered by his antics as he shouts and jumps around.
"Then, tomorrow's rumours will go like this!" Black Star screams at the group, but they can still barely hear him.
"Hey, Kid, it sounds like he's addressing you," Liz informs her Meister, who is still kneeling on the ground.
"Sure enough, Black Star finally rose above a god!" Soul comments, looking up at his best friend, though he's not sure if it will stay that way for long with all the jumping around.
"Holy am I throughout Heaven and Earth!" Black Star hollers to the others below as they look up at him. "Tomorrow, I'll have a halo shining over me!" With that said, the spike he's standing on suddenly cracks under his prolonged weight and breaks off, causing him to fall to the ground with a very upset mini Death waiting for him. "It looks like you couldn't withstand my big presence. It's no wonder the times are changing." Black Star boasts as he falls and lands in a crouch before standing up to face the baby Shinigami.
"How dare you destroy such symmetry…." Kid mutters, getting worked up on the inside as he looks at the once perfectly symmetrical building.
"Uh-oh, now he's done it." Liz groans in agreement with Patty as the two square off in front of them.
"Come and get it! Take a long hard look at my assassination skills!" Black Star yells, jumping on the spot a few metres away from the upset Symmetry fanatic.
"Assassination is something nobody is supposed to see, right?" Soul questions, looking from his spot at his excitable friend.
"You disgust me! Fight against a Shinigami, and I can't vouch for your soul. Liz, Patty, transform!" Death the Kid orders the sisters as he looks at the blue-haired idiot, who destroyed part of his father's school.
"Right!" Patty agrees, raising her hand in the air.
"We haven't gotten into a fight since we lived on the streets," Liz complains; then a purple light comes over the Thompson sisters shifting them into a ball of light flying into the Shinigami's hands. The light fades out to show twin pistols in his hands facing upside down and ready to strike Black Star.
"Pick a fight with me, and I'll accept it! Let's go, Soul!" Black Star orders, getting Soul to stand up reluctantly.
"Dude, you're the one who picked it, right? Still, once we've started, we're gonna win, no matter what." Soul remarks as he walks behind Kid towards his best friend, revving for a fight.
"Oh, yeah! The ultimate duo is formed!" Black Star exclaims with glee.
"Here we go." Death the Kid states and turns slightly, aiming his guns at the two teens.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
Inside the classroom, Tsubaki sighs in defeat at her missing Meister but perks up when they hear a loud noise from outside. "W-what's that?" Maka asks, looking over to the window to have a peek.
"Professor, Miss Stein, Soul and Black Star are fighting someone!" One of the students informs the two Steins, who look over from the front of the classroom, stopping their happy dissection of the protected bird.
"Dr Stein, Miss Stein, in the event of Meisters duelling it out of school grounds, there is a rule that says that one or more of the facility must be present," Maka comments, standing up from her desk.
"Right at the best part, too. Oh well." Stein complains, looking back at the tied up bird on the desk.
"Thank you, Maka, for the reminder. Dr Stein, let's go." Rebecca tells her father; he sighs in defeat and stabs the two scalpels into the desk on either side of him, letting the rare bird live a little longer. "Well then, Soul and Black Star's partners, Maka and Tsubaki, come with us." She tells them as Professor Stein gets into his chair, ready to roll away. "The rest of you, study on your own." Stein rolls off as Rebecca waits for the two girls to catch up.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
Outside at the main entrance, Death The Kid continues to shoot; Soul tries getting out of dodge, moving away from the balls of purple light much like bullets. "Whoa! Hey!" Soul yelps as he gets out of dodge.
"Damn! I can't do anything if I can't get near him!" Black Star shouts as he dodges another soul bullet coming from the twin pistols; Kid stops and looks at the blue-haired assassin.
"Oh, you want some close-quarters combat? Fine!" Kid tells him before jumping up into the air with a trail of smoke coming from his foot as he spins down, landing a foot down on Black Star, who blocks it with his arms.
"Look down on me, will you?!" Black Star exclaims as Soul shifts his arm into the blade from his scythe form before running up behind the young Shinigami. The ravenette jumps back from the wannabe assassin onto the ground in a crouch as Soul approaches behind, going to strike, but Death the Kid blocks the attack with his twin pistols.
"W-What?!" He exclaims, and Kid pulls his other gun into Soul's stomach, ready to shoot the Demon Weapon.
"Oh, no!" Black Star shouts as Kid pulls the trigger into Soul's stomach; the soul bullet goes right through the Demon Weapon, spilling out some type of substance from the wound sight as he goes down with a groan. Soul lands a distance away with no hole in his jacket, meaning there is no injury; he lies on the ground, dazed for a moment before he wriggles around on the ground holding his stomach in pain from the sudden shock from the soul bullet.
"That hurt like hell!" The Demon Scythe cries out in pain, and Patty laughs at his reaction in her Weapon form.
"We're not like ordinary guns that just shoot bullets. We're able to compress and shoot our Meister's soul-wavelength." Liz explains in her Weapon form.
"Oh, my. Perhaps they messed with the wrong guy." Stein comments as the two students and two Steins stop under the archway in the shade to watch the three boys fighting out in the open.
"Stein, is that boy with the guns the one everyone is talking about?" Maka asks him, looking at her Weapon amid a fight without her, not understanding why he fought the young Shinigami.
"Yeah." Rebecca answers without turning away from the fight, watching how the assassin and Demon Weapon fight the young Shinigami.
"That's Lord Death's Son, Death the Kid. He's enrolling at this school at his own request, but his skills are head and shoulders above anyone else." Stein adds, looking at the boy as he watches the other two sizing the Shinigami up.
"Tsubaki…? Is something the matter?" Maka asks her friend as she looks down in worry for her Meister.
"Mm-mm, it's nothing," Tsubaki replies with a lie as she fakes a small smile.
"Well then, Miss Maka, having become able to see souls the other day," Rebecca comments, gaining Maka's attention.
"Yes?" Maka hesitates, snapping her head to face her superiors. Black Star jumps up, attacking Kid, he gives a roundhouse kick at the Shinigami's head, but he dodges out of the way in time.
"Can I ask you to take on a special lesson?" Rebecca requests Maka as she watches the three fighting, Soul with his left arm in his scythe blade swings at Kid, wanting to teach the Weapon how to fight alone, much like she does.
"Uh, yes." Maka answers as Kid fires three shots at Soul, who jumps back from the shots.
"Now, now, don't be so tense. They're just some simple questions. Kid, the one there fighting and his two guns, are their soul wavelengths perfectly matched?" Rebecca asks her as her father looks at his daughter, knowing the answer but wants to push Maka; it works as she closes her eyes, focusing her mind, then snaps them open to see their souls.
"Yes. Usually, it's extremely difficult to match wavelengths with two weapons, but they are very stable. They have a respect for each other… no, not exactly…." Maka summarises as the group watch the three students fighting, well more Death the Kid shooting at the two idiots as they dodge. "Is that… admiration?"
"Excellent. That is correct. His pair of pistols, the Thompson sisters. Owing to their upbringing, being raised on the streets as they were, they are attracted to refined souls, like Kid's. Similarly, Kid is also attracted to big-hearted, positive souls like the Thompson sisters, so unlike his neurotic self." Stein explains as he looks at their souls with Maka, and the group watch the fight.
"They make a good team, don't they?" Maka comments as she looks at the advanced movements of the Shinigami, who uses the twin pistols with ease.
"Yes, they do." Stein agrees.
"By comparison, those two morons…." The blond sighs in a monotone voice as Black Star lands next to Soul.
"Let's do it, partner." The loudmouth assassin says, turning serious, looking at the baby Shinigami in front of them.
"'It' it is." Soul agrees, which confuses the young Shinigami as he has no idea what 'it' is?
"Listen and gape! Watch and scream!" Black Star exclaims.
"I think you mean 'watch and smile'." Death the Kid corrects the loud mouth assassin wannabe.
"We're gonna show you the power of our friendship!" He shouts, with Soul joining him in their boast.
"Yeah! Our immeasurable, infinite power!" He joins in with the shouting of his blue-haired friend.
"What?" Kid goes on edge as he hunches over, getting ready for the next attack from the pair.
"Here we go," Soul mutters enough for Black Star to hear him.
"Yeah." He agrees, keeping his eyes on their opponent in front of them.
"Trans-" Soul says as he strikes a stupid pose as he says this. "-form!" Then, engulfing in a blue light pushing off the ground into the sky with a bit of flair, making the baby Shinigami gawk in amazement.
"Cool!" Patty compliments the pair as she looks at the transformation and pretty lights.
"Take this a little more seriously," Liz complains as Soul shifts into his full Weapon form; Black Star looks up at his friend and holds out his arms to the sky.
"Come to me, Soul!" The assassin calls out to him.
"Friendship…" Soul shouts as he falls down towards the unsuspecting Black Star.
"...Fusion!" He finishes as his best friend hurtles down towards him, he completely misses the scythe, and the blade slides down into his head, cutting him badly on the top of his head as Soul slides backwards, falling to the floor. "Nooo!" Black Star cries out in pain as blood spews out from his head, the blade having slid the top spike of hair on the assassin's head.
"What good does it do to catch me with your head?!" Soul criticises the assassin, still in his weapon form; Black Star pushes his split hair together, stopping the blood flow for now.
"Damn!" He snaps and grabs hold of Soul but can't seem to lift him. "What is this?! You're ridiculously heavy!"
"I couldn't be. Maka swings me around with ease." The spiky-haired teen counters, and the strain makes more blood spew out from the assassin's head wound.
"Typical case of soul wavelengths not being in tune," Maka comments, looking at the scene in front of them with a grim look the same with Tsubaki.
"Yes, it is." Rebecca agrees, thinking back to her times at the Academy as a student and her past Meisters, who never matched soul wavelengths.
"Why, you rotten stupid scythe bastard!" Black Star grits his teeth, still trying to pick Soul up but failing; he uses his soul wavelength too much, making sparks jolt into the Demon Weapon, making him come up from the blade, spewing out blood from his mouth from the intense pain.
"What's the big idea, driving your soul wavelength into me?!" Soul snaps angrily at his best friend, feeling the pain from the accidental attack.
"S-sorry." Black Star stutters, feeling small from his friend's rage.
"This is hopeless. They aren't even feeling each other's soul wavelength." Maka complains as she looks at the two boys.
"Meister and Weapon must see each other as partners before the battle begins," Rebecca comments bitterly, seeing Soul turn away from Black Star, knowing what was coming next, having experienced the same thing before she graduated from the Academy.
"We're… through," Soul informs him, not wanting to face the heart-crushing look his best friend gives him.
"W-what do you mean, Soul?" Black Star asks him, sounding heartbroken at his best friend's rejection.
"If we remain close like this, I'm going to grow to dislike you." Soul replies, shocking everyone at their little cutesy scene; never seen such a scene before. Rebecca looks at them in surprise as she watches them, unsure what she's witnessing.
"Hey, can I shoot?" Kid asks both the sisters.
"Let's give it a minute! This is getting interesting." Liz remarks as they watch the cutest scene in front of them from the two best friends.
"I see… but we can… still be friends after we break up, right?" Black Star asks his best friend, turning his head slightly away.
"I'm uncertain what I'm witnessing," Rebecca comments, looking at the scene in front of the three of them, and looks down at her father sitting in his desk chair. "I blame you." He looks at her with a smile but goes back to watch, just as interested in the cutesy scene.
"You dumbass! Of course, we can!" Soul exclaims, prancing slowly towards his friend with a goofy look on his face.
"Soul!" "Black Star!" "Soul!" "Black Star!" "Soul!" "Black Star!" They call out to each other as they prance towards each other slowly, with the cutesy scene continuing, which just continues to cringe everyone else out.
"What are they, stupid?" Maka deadpans; Rebecca looks at the young Meister, then at her father, and back at the two boys as they finally reach the middle and hug each other close before they're both shot by the baby Shinigami.
"Oh… sorry… my fingers slipped." Kid fakes an apology as the boys get up from the ground, looking more determined.
"Still, we've already taken on this fight." Soul remarks as they get to their feet.
"Yeah! We won't back down until we've won!" Black Star agrees.
"Come at me. I'll finish you with the next one." Kid taunts the boys as they dash towards him; Black Star jumps into the air as Soul shifts his arm into the blade of his scythe form.
"I'll hit you with some soul wavelength, too!" Black Star exclaims as he stops digging in his foot before going for the hit, but the Shinigami ducks out of the way and kicks out the assassin's feet, who jumps over the black-haired teen.
"He's toying with Black Star, whose forte is hand-to-hand combat. Even with Soul as his Weapon, against a foe like that." Maka comments, seeming on edge watching Soul swing at Kid, but he knocks him back.
"Your speed and agility are both poor!" Kid mocks them.
"You bastard!" Black Star shouts as he dashes towards him, but he has other sides as he swings his around across and shoots them both. The blue-haired teen uses his belt to wrap around Kid's ankle. "That kick was a feint!" He pulls the belt making Kid fall on his ass, stunned.
"You're mine!" Soul shouts as he transforms into his full scythe form before jumping up and lands between Kid's legs; he uses this to move back, making Black Star fly forward into the blade of the scythe (Soul).
"I seriously want to kill that brat." Black Star vows as he twitches in pain from the impact of the blade.
"They don't stand a chance." Maka deadpans as the two girls look at their partners, stunned.
"Allow me to show you the power of a Shinigami." Kid announces to his opponents, a circle of dust blows into the air around the little God as he stands ready.
"Soul Resonance!" The Demon Weapons and Meister shout together as Death the Kid floats a little into the air as the cloud of dust grows more extensive, his soul swelling in size.
"What? His soul is swelling up." Maka exclaims in shock, looking closely from where she stands.
"He's showing his true colours, now," Rebecca replies; though she may not be able to see souls like her father, she knows the power from just one look at the person, even if that has never stopped her before.
"Come on! Bring it on, anytime!" Soul taunts the Shinigami as he motions with his hands as the two boys have goofy looks on their faces.
"I'm the one who is a God here!" Black Star shouts, pointing to himself, as they continue to goof off. Death the Kid begins transforming as spikes shoot out of his shoulders with Liz and Patty in their twin pistol forms becoming enormous around Kid's hands; once the upgrade is done, Kid swipes his arms clearing the cloud of dust circling him. The baby Shinigami drops to the floor on the balls of his feet, and he looks up with a haunting dark look on his face.
"Execution mode acquired." Kid announces as thick black sparks from the large guns to his shoulders.
"Hey, does this seem bad to you, somehow?" Soul questions, looking at his friend, who seems way too overconfident, and he feels a little dread in the pit of his stomach at the look coming from Death the Kid.
"I sentence you to be my ball washing rag!" Black Star shouts, shaking his fist in mock rage as he threatens the young Shinigami and laughs without fear of what is to come.
"Resonance factor is stable. Noise, 0.3%," Liz informs Kid.
"Black needle soul wavelength charge complete," Patty adds as rings of red light flow down the guns powering the sisters.
"Four seconds to feedback," The older sister announces as they emit large balls of glowing pink light. "3…" She counts down.
"2…" The younger sister counts down.
"1…" Liz counts down.
"You're free to fire," Patty announces, and Death the Kid holds up the gun, ready to shoot the two idiots in front of him.
"Death Cannon!" He yells, pulling the trigger, and two large pink beams shoot out with high intensity going straight towards Soul and Black Star.
"Hey, this is bad! This is bad!" Soul panics as he watches the beams of immense power coming towards them.
"Ha! Ridiculous!" Black Star waves it off, not looking the least bit bothered by the pain they would feel in a few seconds. "You think something like that will have any effect on me?!" The two shots hit with a large explosion with black smoke crowding around them. The smoke clears, Death the Kid turns around, and the sisters change back to their previous form; once the smoke clears, there's a sizable crater where Black Star and Soul lying unconscious from the intense hit.
"Black Star!" Tsubaki cries out for her Meister as she races towards him, but Maka stays behind with Rebecca and Stein, not overly worried for the Demon Weapon and fellow Meister.
"Ah… what are they doing?" Maka complains, shaking her head at the two boys, used to their antics.
"They've been soundly beaten," Rebecca replies as her father lights a match and lights his cigarette, taking a drag, looking at the son of Lord Death with great fascination, it grows as his right eyebrow begins to twitch. Rebecca sees the thoughts running through her father's head and knows every thought that pops up is also running through hers, though she tempers her thoughts for now.
"Lord Death's son… oh, I'd like to research him." Stein fantasises as he looks at the young boy full of thoughts on what experiment to do first when Kid spits blood falling to the floor unconscious. Liz and Patty morph back to their human forms, looking at their unconscious Meister spilling blood into the air as if it's a small creepy fountain.
"Uh-oh," Patty complains as they look down at him; the boys look up from the crater with Tsubaki in surprise at the fallen Shinigami. Patty laughs at her hopeless Meister as her sister stands, looking down when Stein rolls over to them with Rebecca pulling his chair.
"He's hopeless," Liz complains with a sigh as the Steins roll up behind her.
"What's the matter?" Stein asks the Thompson sisters; Patty stops laughing, looking at the two, and Liz turns to face them.
"It looks like he's been clipped." Liz answers.
"What has?" Stein asks, not understanding.
"Maka, would you like to explain it to the highly intelligent professor." Rebecca snips as she looks at her father, who jokingly glares at his daughter.
"Um… well, you see… it happened during that last attack that Soul made. In that shot, he apparently cut his hair upfront a little. After the explosion, Kid noticed it and upon seeing his balance had been lost, and something about symmetry, he started spitting blood and fell over." Maka explains, looking down at the twitching, bloody mess that is Death the Kid.
"That means we've made a come from behind victory, right?" Soul asks as he sits cross-legged on the ground with Black Star, who stands with his arms folded and Tsubaki on her knees, looking over at the unconscious Shinigami lying in the dirt compared to the boys, who only have a few scratches.
"Oh yeah! I finally have risen above a God. Hey, Halo! You can shine down on me, now!" Black Star cheers and leans back, laughing happily about the outcome of the fight; Tsubaki turns to look up at her Meister with concern, checking him for any serious injuries.
"Are you alright, Black Star?" She asks him; he jolts back and looks her in the eye.
"How about that, Tsubaki? I've surpassed a God!" He exclaims as he points to himself with a goofy look on his face.
"Mm-hmm, you're amazing." Tsubaki compliments him as Soul looks over at them with a smirk on his face.
"Yo." Maka greets Soul as she stands before him, seeing as she was pressured by Rebecca to go over to the spiky toothed Demon Weapon.
"Yeah." He replies, looking up at her.
"Don't go fighting like such a dork," She warns him. "That's what you always say to me, Soul." With that said, he looks up at her, shocked before laughing; Rebecca looks over at them and gives a ghost of a smile but stops herself before it becomes noticeable. She shakes her head, not wanting the memories of her time in the DWMA; they were for her a long time ago.
"It's true; I'm not looking too cool, huh?" Soul asks her, looking over.
"Please, don't act so reckless, okay?" Tsubaki tells Black Star, full of worry for her Meister, who seems okay.
"There's nothing I do that could be reckless. After all, I'm the man who surpassed a God!" Black Star boasts, leaning backwards laughing as his Weapon holds her hands up, looking too worried to be humanly possible.
"Sure enough, Tsubaki is the only one who can handle Black Star." Maka deadpans as she looks at the conflicting partners.
"Yeah, you're right," Soul agrees; the blond looks back at him with mild surprise but smiles as she looks down at him, watching him scratch at his head, avoiding her gaze as she holds out her hand to him.
"Here," She offers him, he looks at her hand before taking it, and she pulls him up to his feet.
"Yeah. Sorry." He apologies as he turns around with her as they face each other, looking at each other.
"Let's keep it cool," She tells him, and they pull their hands away to slap against each other.
"You got it," He agrees; as they do this, Stein looks over at them while Rebecca tries stopping Patty from poking her Meister while Liz carries him.
"Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!" Lord Death greets the students and teachers, who reply to the friendly Shinigami. "Well, I came here for my son's first day at school. I just don't know what to do about Kid, though. Okay, everyone, I'm going to take Kid home for the rest of the day. Bye!" He turns with the girls and his unconscious son and walks away, waving at the rest of the group with his comically large hand.
"Yeah, see you later!" Black Star exclaims as the two Shinigami, and Demon Weapons leave, and the others all begin to walk back into the main entrance, wanting to get back to their class.
"Hey, Maka!" Soul calls out to his Meister, who's left behind, as the others walk back to the classroom. "What are you spacing out about? We're heading back." The others walk in, but Rebecca stops, turning to look at the partners before continuing on inside. "Hey, Maka, I forgot to ask, what's Rebbeca's soul like?" He asks her as they're a safe enough distance away. The blond closes her eyes again, focusing before opening them to look at the soul of their teaching assistant. She focuses on Rebecca's retreating form, and Maka sees a powerful soul much like the green-haired girl's father, but completely different as her soul has cracks running around the surface with spikes poking out in a light green colour.
"It's about the same size as Stein's and green in colour with cracks along the surface with spikes," Maka tells her partner, who looks at the retreating form of the green-haired girl and narrows his eyes in confusion at the powerful girl. From what Maka had told him, he knew that each soul was different and was, of course, a reflection on the person. He wants to know her and find out what's underneath those spikes and what caused the cracks.
"Soul, Black Star, you'll be having extra time after class with Rebecca to catch up on what you missed out on," Stein tells the boys, seeing the way the white-haired boy is looking at his beloved daughter. Rebecca stops in her steps, having heard her father, and looks at the boys with a smirk, directed at them almost sinisterly; the boys gulp as they rush into the main entrance doors hoping nothing bad happens to them.
[[CHAPTER TWO]]
Rebecca stands in front of the classroom with the Thompson sisters and Death the Kid sitting at their desks the next day during their lunch break. The classroom door opens, and she looks over to see Black Star and Soul walking in, not looking overly happy. "Good, we're all here," Rebecca smiles as she looks at the five students.
Hey, Readers, thanks for reading this book and any others I've written so far and also, thanks for waiting patiently for this chapter as my laptop has been acting up and deleting my chapter, and I had to rewrite it three times! On my new laptop! Thanks again for your patience. DEADGIRLETERNAL OUT! EDITED!
