Drunk; Kema vs the gorgons?

Maka's POV

I continue to pretend spar with Black Star when out of the corner of my eye I spot several figures on brooms, I turn around and see Arachne, Medusa and Shaula sitting on their brooms slowly coming to a stop. Me, Kid and Black Star all turn and await them.

''So I see Crona has betrayed us'' Medusa hissed

''Good thing she did'' I retort and Arachne squints her eyes at me

''Hey guys wazzup?'' Someone said, I turn around to see Kema stumbling around the courtyard with my mother by her side.

''Um'' I hum as I watch her almost fall over then somehow spin on the tip her toe.

''She drunk'' Mum said

Kid scrunches up his face ''Why?''

''Depression'' Mom says bluntly and Kid nods slowly

''Is this really what DWMA teachers are now? Alcoholic drunks?'' Shaula giggles

''Hey! I... don't know what youuur talking about'' Kema slurs

''Oh my god...'' I sigh and place a hand on my face, secretly I was laughing.

''Hey Medusa, she looks just like you!'' Shaula laughs pointing between Kema and Medusa

''Yes, very... intriguing'' Medusa says with a smile

''I think its time to teach her some manners'' Arachne said and opened her black spider fan

''Maybe I should teach you some manners!'' Kema slurs as Mom turns into a scythe

''Oh, so your a Meister then? I will have the pleasure of killing you'' Arachne smiled

''You cant kill me if your already dead, silly!'' Kema giggled and Arachne gasped suddenly drawing all attention to her. Before anyone can say anything a jet of blood shoots out behind her and the sound of a scythe can be heard as Arachne's upper body slowly floats into the air.

''W-What?'' Arachne gasps as her body fades, leaving a purple soul.

Medusa quickly reaches for the soul and the snake on her arm comes alive and eats it, the soul disappearing into the snake. It re-attaches itself to the Medusa's arm when Kema is suddenly beside her, floating on air.

''Sleepy blow'' Kema says in a loud tone as she swings her hand (that was flat like a book) into Medusa's neck, the witch lets out a gasp as she falls from the sky before crashing into the stairs. I gaze in wonder at her as she vanishes and appears next to Shaula and does the same thing, Shaula falling aswell. The three of us run over to where the two witches fell to find both of them unconscious on the ground, Kema then lands in the gap between the two witches and slings them over her shoulders. Medusa over the left shoulder and Shaula over then right.

''I'm going to... take these... two down to... the cells, don't come down'' Kema said and began stumbling away, leaving us all in confusion. Mom then walked up beside us and smiled.

''What is she planning to do with them?'' I ask somewhat curious

Mom bites her lip ''I guess you could say she is punishing them''

Kema's POV

I lock the door to Shaula's cell, I can deal with her later. I go to the adjacent cell and open the door with my free hand, I walk down the narrow cell hallway and gently place Medusa on the floor before shackling her ankles and wrists. I stand up and dust myself off, brushing dust from my intertwined hair. Here I was, before the woman who I have searched for so long and she is at my mercy, I stretch my arms and legs a little before kneeling down in front of the woman and hold her nose, a moment or two later she begins to stir and I release her nose causing the blonde to awaken in a gasp for breath.

''What...?'' She says as she comes to her senses

''Hey Medusa''

She looks confused for a second before her face remembers who I am ''What do you want?''

''To punish you and Shaula for attacking Shibusen obviously'' I purr, despite being drunk a minute ago I had full control over my actions.

''Oh? And what about Arachne?''

''I killed her remember? I don't like her anyway, she isn't as good as you and your younger sister''

''And where is Crona?''

''In the Death Room with Lord Death'' I said ''I'm interested in your Black Blood experiments and thus kept an eye on Crona to see your work in action aswell''

''That's nice to know, not much appreciate my experiments''

''I'm surprised. I would thought others would use your Black Blood as a stepping stone to even greater discoveries''' I smile

''What's that supposed to mean?'' She said but I know full well she is playing dumb

''I thought others would do what I did, use your design and enhance it more than humanly possible''

''So what have you done?''

''Created rainbow blood'' I say and show her my wrist, the rainbow blood flowing through my veins

''You injected yourself?''

''Ofcourse, wouldn't want anyone else to get the better of me''

''Here's another question: Why do you look like me? Were you impersonating me this whole time?''

''Not at all, I just liked your style and-'' I whisper and lean next to her ear ''-Your body''

I pull back and sit on my knee's, awaiting her reaction. She looks a little confused but also flustered, good. Very Good.

''So what is your plan for me?'' She asked

''You let me toy with you and you and Arachne go free, I'll make a similar deal with Shaula''

''What do you mean, toy with?''

''Like this'' I say and move my hand to her breast, squeezing it. Medusa release a moan a tips her head back in pleasure before looking back at me with a glare ''Last time you had a release was when you got Crona to-''

''How do you know about that?!'' Medusa gasps

''You don't need to know that Medusa''

Kami's POV – 2 Hours Later

''She said she would be out here'' I say as I walk into the clearing, Maka and her group of friends behind me.

''What are we doing again?'' Black Star groans

''Training. All of you will have to face against me and Kema'' I said

''Either we are going to get our asses kicked or we're getting our asses kicked'' Liz laughs jokingly

''We wont be too rough''

We walk further into the clearing and I see Kema balancing on a log, the tip of her foot refuses to wobble despite Kema's lack of balance. I turn back to the group and put a finger over my mouth to signify them to be quiet, Black Star opens his mouth but Tsubaki covers it with her hand. We all watch intently as she stays motionless as the wind blows by.

''Target Raise'' She said and four straw dummies sprung out of the ground

''Death Cannon!'' She shouted as her arms became Kid's Death Cannons, eyes still closed.

With that she raised her arms and fired two shots instantly and turned around on the tip of her toe and fired another two, not wavering the slightest. All four rounds hit the dummies square in the head causing them to go flying. She paused for a moment as the wind blew by before opening her eyes and releasing a smile at her work before she turned to us.

''Hey guys'' She smiles and I look at the kids, all shocked.

''I thought you were a scythe'' Tsubaki said

''I am, I'm trying to learn Death Cannon so I have something to take down airborne targets with''

''That makes sense'' Tsubaki smiled

''How'd it go with Medusa and Shaula?'' I ask

''Well, I will be releasing them later on'' She said and raised a dark smirk ''They learned their lesson''

''So, you guys ready to get started?'' I ask drawing the attention away from our quick convo' and they all nod, I change into a scythe and Kema grabs me with a wide Smile.

''Come at me''

Kema's POV

Black Star charges first without Tsubaki and launches a primed fist at me which I easily dodge to the side and hit him in the back of the head with a fist causing him to trip over and hit the ground. Kid raises both guns and fires off several rounds which I dodge again by moving my body to the side before each bullet hit. I hear Black Star get up again and and sense his hand aiming for my back, I leap into the air and do a backflip, landing behind him. Before he can react I hit him in the back with the blunt side of the scythe making him fall over again.

''Stop toying with me!'' He shouts and has his hand open, Tsubaki nods and changes into Chain scythe mode.

''I'm not. If you so much as touch the blade part of Kami you could be cut in half in a second, so I cant necessarily hit you with the blade'' I explain

''Tsubaki, Fey Blade Mode''

''Right''

The girl changes from Chain Scythes to a long sword and the boy charges at me with the sword pointing out like a spear, Kid aims and begins firing off round after round. Maka and Soul run at me aswell and I smile slightly allowing them to get closer than they already are before Black Star has the blade pointing at my chest. I lean back until my body makes a right angle and the blade goes over past me, I grab the blade and yank on it causing Black Star to go flying behind me. I straighten back up and jump into the air just in time to dodge Maka's attack and move the blunt end of the scythe and hit her on the top of her head causing her to stagger before slicing the blade into the grass leaving the pole part of Kami as a seat for me. I hold onto the tip and swing around, kicking Kid in the side of the head making him fall over before pulling Kami out of the ground, her golden colour shining like the sun.

''Give up?''

The three Meisters all get to their feet and look at me before Maka speaks ''We defeated Asura, we wont be beaten that easily''

The three begin to glow with a blue outline as they all resonate in unison. I watch intently waiting to make my move.

''Soul Resonance! Death Cannon!''

''Soul Resonance! Witch Hunter!''

''Speed Star!''

Kid moves to a crouched position as the two charge at me, Black Star reaches me first and attempts to slice me but I block it with my scythe. He begins going around me attempting to hit me in various spots which I all block with Kami, He attacks again and I duck before hitting him in the stomach with the end of Kami before I spin her round and hit him in the side of the head with the metal. Maka reaches me next and swings Witch Hunter expertly down onto me but I hold out a hand and catch the illuminating blade with ease before it shatters, throwing Maka back and breaking their resonance.

''Death Cannon!'' Kid shouts and I see two orange shots come my way, I duck just as Black Star stands up causing him to take the blow. I sprint forth and trip Kid up with my scythe before I stab the blade of Kami into the grass. Half a centimetre from his face.

''I win'' I announce and pull the scythe out of the ground, I reach out a hand to Kid and he takes it allowing me to pull him up. Maka walks up to me with Soul dragging behind.

''I see now why you are the strongest Meister/Weapon team now'' She smiles

''Thanks'' Me and Kami say

''Kema, can I speak to you for a moment. In private?'' Maka asks and I nod, following her out of the clearing. Once we were far away enough we sit behind a huge oak tree with the leaves shading us from the hot sun.

''I've been meaning to ask two things'' Maka said

''Go ahead''

''Well... Why do you look like Medusa?'' She asks and I take a long drag of breath, can I trust her?

''The reason I dress like Medusa was because I liked her look is all, I find it embarrassing to say but I find the style so comfortable. Although the fact people mistake me for Medusa and attempt to kill me occasionally gets annoying'' I laugh

''Oh, I see'' Maka said ''The second thing is the other day there I saw your soul and it was all... multicoloured''

''That's right'' I said

''Why is that? Normally people have a single colour''

''Its because of my rainbow blood'' I say and she tilts her head, I raise my wrist and show her my veins that were glowing with my rainbow blood.

''What the...?''

''When I was learning magic and witch related stuff I make a special concoction of blood and mixed it with certain... ingredients... and then injected myself with it'' I explain as she nods ''Personally I think of it as an improved version of Black Blood''

''Improved version of Black Blood...'' Maka mumbles

''Anyway is this all you wanted to ask?'' I question and she nods.

I stand up and reach out and Maka takes my hand and I pull her to her feet, she smiles at me but I can see through her facade but may as well give her the benefit of the doubt. We walk silently through the forest until we reach the clearing were Black Star was parading around yelling into the air about some random crap when Sid also walked into the clearing.

''Hey Sid'' I say and he walks over to me and Maka ''Could you give us a moment?''

Maka nods and heads over to Soul who gives her a kiss on the cheek making her blush, that pair were so cute together. How Spirit thought Soul was never fit to be Maka's partner is obscene.

''I was looking for you'' Sid said ''We need to talk about certain details that you refused to enter''

''For the last time Sid I'm not telling anyone my address. Not even Stein knows''

''Shinigami-sama needs to know. Although you were and still are the strongest Meister/Weapon team the school has ever seen he is worried you may be corrupted by witchcraft or because of the... incident... with the Templar scientist''

''I promise you I'm not corrupt. In truth though I'm still in a wreck after what I saw, I will get my vengeance against that bastard scientist. For my son'' I say furiously before Sid takes a long sigh

''Lord Death has issued Maka, Black Star and Kid and their respective partners to go do some recon work down in the Amazon'' Sid explained ''We need you here to be a form of early warning encase the Templar's attack again''

''Very Well. I need to go assist Crona and Eruka first though'' I say and out of the corner of my eye see Maka extremely concerned in an instant before she strides over to us.

''What's wrong with Crona and Eruka?''

''Crona I fine, I just need to make sure Medusa hasn't placed any snakes inside of him like she has with Eruka which is why I need to use some magic and stuff to remove the snakes or else Medusa can kill Eruka with the snap of her fingers'' I said

''Oh, I see'' She said and turned around ''But why are you releasing Medusa?''

''I have my own reasons but I guarantee you she wont come back here for a while''

''Why is that?'' She asks

''Not telling'' I smile

''Anyway, Shinigami-sama needs to know your address Kema'' Sid said stonely

''No''

''Kema-''

''I said no''

Sid stays there frozen at my sudden change of tone, fury boiling below my skin as I clench my fists in anger at my companion. I suddenly pick up a soul wavelength, another and another.

''Two-hundred and seven''

''Huh?'' Sid asked, confused

''Two-hundred and seven Templars, coming from the north''

The north side of DC was the entrance, meaning that those Templars were crossing the desert towards us regardless if they were just passing by or heading to that base.

''Oh yeah, before I forget'' Sid said drawing our attention ''We captured Free and put him in the cell next to Shaula Gorgon''

''He is of no real use, we can just release him with Shaula and Medusa''

''But if we release them doesn't that mean they can instantly start attacking again?'' Maka asked

''They can try but the cuffs they are in drain magic, they're attacks would be 100 times weaker than normal so they pose no real threat and they know it'' I explain

''I see, that's why no-one is guarding them'' Maka said but quickly replied ''But what about Free? He can change into a werewolf and is immortal so if he decides to attack we cant kill him''

''I can handle him'' I said ''Sis!''

''Yeah?'' She asks slipping to the side before jumping to avoid Black Star's attack

''I'm heading to the Death Room to attend to Eruka and Crona, I'll see you at home''

''K''

I turn and begin a casual walk through the forest and hear footsteps behind me as I walk, the grey shoes make loud echoes in my head despite him walking on grass.

''What should we do with the Templar's?'' Sid asks

''Do what we have done so far, kill the buggers. There is less than last time so it should be easier''

''I'll rally Stein and the others while you attend to Eruka'' Sid said and I nod.

I cant take my mind off of Kay, the poor kid. I can still remember the day we met:

Flashback

I wander through the streets of DC, I had just broke out of school and was heading for my apartment that I shared with Kami. I pass several stalls until I catch something out of the corner of my eye, instinctively I turn and walk into the alley to find nothing that would have catch my eye until a hear a squeak of a voice.

''Please don't hurt me anymore'' It cried

''Who's there? Are you all right?'' I ask

A trash can wobbles and falls over leaving a boy who looks like hell, messed up brown hair and torn polo shirt. Burns on his cheek and arms, it was appalling.

''Who are you?'' He asks

''Who are you?'' I reply with a question

''Kay''

''Well Kay, I'm Kema. What are you doing here in an alley?''

''My mom kicked me out and said I was useless and said if I went back she would burn me again''

This was shocking, I know this sort of shit happened all over the world but even in DC child abuse is a thing? I was willing to kill Kay's mother but he might still love her.

''Do you still love your mother?'' I ask curiously

''No. I hate her! She would be better off dead!'' He said, not shouting but not talking normally either. I smile internally as this gives me the chance to avenge this poor kid, no child should ever be abused no matter what.

''Would you like to stay with me for a while?'' I ask nervously, hoping he wont think I'm a rapist or a pervert. That would be awkward.

''Yes please!'' He cries and jumps at me, tightly hugging me to the point of a death hug.

After that I brought him home and when he found out I was a Meister he said he always wanted to be a Meister but cant join the DWMA yet because he is too young. I told him that until he was old enough to join I would tutor him every day so he could become the most 'awesomely awesome' Meister in the world. I had kept that promise and trained him everyday and surprisingly he managed to get the hang of it in under a week. He couldn't wield me or Kami because our soul wavelengths were too powerful for him. That's when I was told that he was-

''Something bothering you?'' Sid asked breaking my train of thoughts, and thus ruining the sad flashback.

''Just remembering the time me and Kay met'' I whisper suppressing tears

''Oh. Sorry'' He said as we walked

''Lets just get on with business'' I state as we walk through the back entrance of the school.
