Death the Kid sighs in contentment at having such a good day. Class was normal. He now finishes a good meal with his friends. Even Blackstar and Patty were not as agitating as they could be. He sees that Liz is asking Tsubaki about some help for the paper due tomorrow. Kid hears knocking on the door. Loud obnoxious knocking. It so loud that even Blackstar pauses from his conversation. Maka stands up and goes to the door.

Kid tumbles out of his seat and grabs the meister, "I would recommend not to answer the door."

"Kid?"

Eyeing the door like it will explode, the reaper speaks, "If it is who I think it is, they will enter the premise soon."

"What…?" Before Maka can continue, the door bangs open with a whoosh and a laugh as familiar voices (for Kid anyway) is heard.

Everyone else is startles and soon they look to the door.

Maka is confuse but the sudden intruders cause her to react. She goes in with the intention of intervening the path of the two strangers. Suddenly the oldest one, a blond looking only a few years older than her ducks around her and grabs her roughly and swings her out of the way, going straight for Kid.

"YAHOO!" Blackstar jumps over with a laugh which gets cut off when the blond push the Star Clan boy into the wall and goes straight to Kid.

The others stand up, no doubt seeing the aggressive attacks and plan to retaliate. Before it could escalate to dangerous levels, Kid stands between them.

Kid growls at the intruders, "There are easier ways of getting my attention that do not involving picking a fight with my friends."

The oldest blond laughs obnoxiously, "Dude, you need to start using your soul perception more often. You would have seen us sooner."

Soul wonders what the hell just happened. One moment there was an intruder, next Kid is being hugged by said intruder. And Kid is taking it with no complaint! Well other than looking like he is suffocating. Soul looks at the older teen? Man? He is about the same age, maybe older, as his brother. His hair reminds him of wheat and corn fields with sky blue eyes. If Soul was into that kind of stuff, he might even say that the man looks hot. But then the man starts laughing like Blackstar and the man lose his charm in a flash.

"What are you doing here," sighs Kid.

The blond smiles a wide grin, "Mom wanted to see Lord Death so David is escorting her."

Kid gives a look that the man apparently knew for he laughs again, "Okay, I really came because I wanted to meet your friends, see if they are worthy of getting the Jones welcome."

Kid suddenly looks alarmed and concern, "No! The last time you suggest a Jones welcome, you traumatize my brother and caused the collapse of half a dozen governments."

The second person snorts, drawing the attention of the whole room, "Technically, it was your brother the cause the collapse of half a dozen governments. We just instigated his reaction," huffing and as she swishes her light brunette hair, revealing traces of faded color dye.

Kid glowers at her, "No commentary from the peanut gallery, Bucky."

Now that sound like an interesting story. Liz promise herself to ask her meister later. "So Kid, who are these people?" Giving her meister a pointed look.

Kid grumbles and sighs before speaking, "This is Alfred Jones and his relative Sarah Jones, their family are old friends of Father."

Maka spoke up, "Are you the same Alfred Jones that the DWMA handbook mention?"

The newly named Alfred Jones turns sharply to face the scythe meister, "It mentions my name?" Gaining a surly tone.

Maka stood up straight, "Yes, it is listed that an Alfred Jones serve as Deputy Headmaster."

Jones stare in confusion at first before he stared to laugh again, "I forgot about the handbooks."

Soul ask out loud, "What does a deputy Headmaster do at the DWMA?"

Jones blinks and laughs, "Since the Headmaster takes care of many national things, I deal with the international things from passports to cover ups."

XIXIXIXIX

"Cover ups!" Demanded Maka.

"Well yah, the DWMA do not usually go tell the local authorities that someone was culled. I have to smooth over the mysterious deaths. Heck that is usually the jobs of the NOT class once they graduate and go back home. WHICH! I coordinate," bragged Jones.

When the only one that seems to understand was Kid and his weapons, Jones gave out a groan and faceplant, "It never once occur to all of you that there is a reason that the DWMA is not openly known?"

Silence descends on the group. Tsubaki internally admit that makes sense on how the Academy can stay anonymous.

"God damn you Death," mutter Jones in an annoyed tone. Jones turn and face Kid, "You know I was going to embarrass you by showing your friends some pictures from when you were younger but now I have to go and really speak to your father."

With that, Jones step out of the room, dragging Sarah, who waves to Kid.

XIXIXIXIX

Kid waves back and sighs with relief, "Thank goodness for that small reprieve."

Liz is definitely curious by her mister's tone.

"Dude, who was that to steal my thunder?" Demanded Blackstar.

"As I said, an old family friend of Father. His family have been allied with him for over a thousand years," said Kid.

"Really?" Ask Maka, sounding speculative.

"Yes," confirmed Kid, "In fact, the family can trace their ancestry to one of Father's Warlords 800 years ago."

"Which one?" Ask Maka sounding curious.

Kid pauses and then speaks, "The Warlord Terra. The 'Mother' of North America."

"That sounds familiar," comments Maka.

Kid sit back down on his chair, "It should, she was known among the Native Americans, Canadians, and Mexicans. Her stories, which is usually exaggerated, are known to those considered North Americans. Spirit probably told you a few tales or gave you books that include such tales, even if it often more fiction then fact."

Kid suddenly grimaces.

Liz seeing this, she ask, "What's up?"

"It occurs to me that I have to go. If Alfred here, then others of the Jones Clan are more likely to follow and try to be helpful in spreading chaos."

Kid politely bows to Maka, "Thank you for the good meal," he turns to Liz and Patty, "I will see you at the mansion."

The Reaper gives one last sigh and opens the door to leave. Closing the door softly.

This was a hard chapter to do. Enjoy!

The story takes place on episode 17 of the anime.

I am alluding to Native North America being the base inspiration of the first female, the first Mother, or the Grandmother often found in Native American lore such as the White Buffalo Calf Women, Selu, and any other story that alludes to a powerful female spirit that helps the different tribes.

Key word: inspiration. Her role became more mythological later as her tales got continuously retold to the point that she seldom recognizes it, if at all.

Alfred Jones- America

Sarah 'Bucky' Jones- Ohio

David Jones- Nevada
