Fight for the potion; Is it that important?

Kema's POV

I open my eyes slowly before bringing my hands to my eyes to wipe away the remainders of sleep, once that was done I hear Maka's voice. I turn on my side to find her sitting on a chair next to me as my hearing slowly comes back to me.

''Are you okay?'' She asks ''You have been out for like hour, Soul and other students went home''

''Yeah, remind me what happened?'' I ask and she nods

''You fought against Amelia and won before capturing her soul in a jar a passing out'' Maka said ''Sums it up?'' I ask and she nods

''Well I'm just glad no-one was hurt, especially Shinigami-sama'' I admit

''We had a meeting while you were out'' Maka said and I see her holding a grim expression ''Everyone is very worried and concerned about this whole thing. The fact you owned a potion that could turn you into a Shinigami, The amount of secrets you have been holding from all of us including stuff about the Rainbow Blood'' She says

''Well have you reached a decision or vote or something?'' I ask all too quickly

''We had a vote to decide if you should 'Keep your distance from the school'. Out of ten votes five decided to keep you here. Sid, Spirit, Kid, Liz and Patty wanted you to leave'' She explained

''I can imagine why'' I groan

''Stein was very forceful in saying that we should trust you'' Maka says

''Oh he had always been like that... saying people could trust me and all'' I mumble

''Does anything go on between you two?'' She asks

I freeze at this, what it that obvious or was she just guessing? I don't want to leak anything unnecessary but I don't want to deny it either. We have had a strong relationship but since we started dating we had kept it secret. At one point we talked about marriage but we eventually agreed it was too much of a hassle so we remained as boyfriend and girlfriend... which we both disliked aswell. The main reason we keep our relationship a secret is because we don't like to be called a couple or anything later. We don't even really talk about our 'Status', we just go with it.

''Yeah, we have a strong friendship'' I say and manage a smile

Maka pouts ''You know what I mean''

''Maybe... What gave it away?''

''Lots of things, maybe the fact you both stare into each others eyes whenever you get the chance''

''Really? Were you like stalking us the whole time?'' I smile at the blonde

''No, its just hard to not see'' Maka said ''But there is another issue''

''What's that?'' I say, fearing for what I am about to here

''About that potion'' Maka said calmly but sternly

''What about it?''

''Shinigami-sama wants you to destroy it, get rid of it or hand it over to the DWMA''

''Well I am definitely not handing it over. I've put too much effort into making it so I'm also not going to destroy it or get rid of it'' I say and Maka sighs

''Come on, this could stir up a lot of trouble if you don't''

''Maka, I'm not sure if you realise this but I have been making this for over ten years, the last thing I want is to get rid of it. Besides, this will allow me even greater power''

''Have you ever heard the old saying Power leads to madness?'' She asks and I scrunch up my face

''Madness is nothing, although if you mean the person madness then she's cool''

''That's reminds me, I've been wanting to ask about those two people... emotions... that you summoned, how did you do that?''

''Its complicated but a good answer would be the Rainbow Blood, I can summon any of my emotions and turn them into a Meister/Weapon pair. Although summoning them requires me to lose that emotion while they are in play''

''Assuming that all emotions have a corresponding element, why did you choose Madness and Rage out of all of them?'' She asks

''Those two I work best with'' I say and start to get up when the door opens

''Your too weak, get back to bed'' Mira said with Sid beside her.

I reach my palm out in front of me when a red sweet drops onto my hand in a puff of smoke, I peel off the wrapper and throw it in the air before catching it in my mouth. I begin to chew the sweet as all three watch me closely, a minute or so passes when I swallow the red sweet and stand up.

''All better'' I say and look at my sister ''She needs to rest longer though, Shinigami Hunter puts a lot of strain on her''

''We overheard your answer about the Shinigami Potion'' Sid says as two men in suits appear behind him ''Both Kid and Shinigami-sama wish you to change your decision''

''My decision stays'' I growl as anger fills my blood quickly and the men both raise guns ''You know how hard I worked on this, Sid''

''Unfortunately that cannot effect the matter'' Kid replied as he walked in between Sid and Nygus

''Why is everyone so adamant about me not becoming a Shinigami?!'' I say in frustration

''One cannot just become a Shinigami! One is born a Shinigami and cannot become one!'' Kid says furiously as both Liz and Patty squeeze through the men in suits to stand behind their Meister.

''How much do you want to bet?'' I say in both excitement and cockiness

Kid squints his eyes as I hold out my palm next to me, a vial with black and white liquid hovers on my palm and I send a sly grin his way. Sid and Nygus take a step forwards.

''Kema...'' Sid said and slowly approached me

''This is one-sixteenth of the strength, if I drank fifteen more of these I would become a full-fledged Shinigami'' I say and open my mouth before chucking the liquid down my throat.

Nothing happens for a moment before I notice myself emitting a faint black aura with skulls swirling around me, a moment passes before they vanish and catch a patch of hair that was a pretty white. Another piece was black.

''No way...'' Maka mumbles

''Told ya'' I smile at Kid who looked furious

''How?! Someone cannot become a Shinigami through alchemy! Its pure bullshit!'' He shouts

''The potion I created required ingredients rarer than possible, one of them was a plant called Roosevelt, only one was left on the face of the planet'' I explain ''Its highly unlikely anyone else could manage to create another''

''I... But... Wha... FUCK!'' Kid shouts before punching the wall next to him

''So I take it your not overly happy about me drinking the rest of the potion?'' I say with a smirk

''Kema, you will not drink the rest of that potion'' Sid says as Nygus transformed

''How 'bout we take this outside, rendezvous as many students and teachers as you want and if I fall then I will hand the potion over to you?'' I suggest with the same smirk as before

''Seems fair, when I was alive I was always a fair man'' Sid said much to Kid's distaste

''Five minutes, tell the kids its a training exercise or something'' I say before walking up to my unconscious sister and patting her on the forehead before whispering:

''Don't worry sis, I wont lose''

Le Five Minutes Later

''You sure you brought enough?'' I ask as I look over my opponents. Sid and Nygus, Kid and the Thompson's, Oxford and Harvar, Kilik and the two earth shamans, Spirit, Mifune and the Death-Scythe Justin Law(Who had came back after forgetting to bid Lord Death farewell and was more than happy to face against me).

''Are you saying we are not enough?'' Mifune asks sternly

''Yes. I wont be going all-out on the children but you adults I will be'' I say as I take a battle stance

''Honourable'' Mifune said and drew a sword

A large crowd was watching us as we stood out in the courtyard, I was standing at one end while everyone else was at the other end. All had a reason to fight me, mainly to stop me from becoming a Shinigami, for whatever reason.

''Go!'' Sid shouted and ran straight at me with Kid and Spirit, I stood watching with a smile as they drew closer. Spirit was the first to reach me and changes his arm into a scythe and tries to slice me only for me to swiftly move aside. Before he can swing again I punch him in the face causing him to stumble back, I am given no respite as Sid and Kid are upon me in an instant.

Kid fires off several rounds which don't really hurt as I focus my attention on Sid, he tries to stab me which I dodge several times before elbowing him in the face and punching him in the stomach, sending him flying back. I swing around and ,with lightning fast speed, kick Kid in the stomach which also sends him sprawling back. Oxford and Kilik gave no time to rest either as they launched attacks at me only for both to go flying backwards with a red mark on their faces. They pair get up and charge again along with Kid, only for the trio to be flung back again. They all get up and look around them before a hazy red and purple copies of me appear out of thin air in front of me.

''So that's your trick'' Kid said and began firing rounds at them only for them to block them with their scythe's.

''Go easy on them'' I say and the two nod before charging the three down, I turn just in time to dodge a swipe from Sid and Spirit. I grab the back of Spirit's head and push him to the ground causing pieces of cobblestone to go around the place, Sid tries to stab me but I grab his wrist before putting a hand on his stomach and throwing him over me. I pull Spirit back up before punching the back of his head, rendering him unconscious. Sid leaps back up and attempts a number of swings before I jump into the air and kick him on the forehead, I speed behind him and kick him extra hard causing him to face-plant the ground which also renders him unconscious.

I turn back to my two emotions to find Oxford and Kilik unconscious aswell, Kid way busy dodging them as I watched. I speed up behind him and he notices me, all too late. I push down hard causing him to hit the ground like the others before throwing him into the air, he hit the ground hard but didn't break anything thank Shinigami. I walk in front of my emotions and stare Mifune and Justin Law down and they do the same. Me, Rage and Madness were perfectly symmetrical aswell, Kid would be jealous.

''Lets go'' I say as Justin Law runs at me while Mifune jumps into the air

Mifune shouts something before throwing a bunch of swords all over the cobblestone while Justin Law attacks me, he swings his guillotines expertly but I either dodge or block them while Rage and Madness watch with intent. I leap back in time to avoid a sword to the head along with Mifune landing on my head.

I extend each of my arms out so I make a cross and I sense Madness and Rage nod before transforming into their respective elements. They wrap around my arms like string as both warriors watch closely. I run quickly at Justin Law and punch out at him with my electrified arm which he blocks with his guillotine, I'm about to pull back when a lock wraps around my arm.

''Carcan Claw!'' Justin shouts before grabbing the neck of my shirt and head-butting me.

He releases me and I stumble back before swinging again with my blazing arm, which he blocks again but this time my fire attaches onto his arm causing him to pull back this time. While Justin attends to the fire Mifune launches a slicing attack at me which I barely dodge.

He stabs out again like a spear which this time I grab the blade with Rage and burn through it instantly, Mifune jumps back and pull out another sword before I charge at him with Madness.

He blocks again and sparks fly off, mainly from Madness. Rage transforms behind him and before he can react she hits him in the back with the blunt side of her scythe leaving a burn mark which makes him falter allowing me electrified fist to punch his chest, sending him flying.

Justin Law swings hi guillotine at me and I hold my arm in front of me so Madness takes the blow.

''I wonder why you came back Justin?'' I ask through the sparks

''I'm afraid I don't understand''

''You were ordered by Lord Death to return to your post, yet you came back to 'say goodbye'''

''What about that?'' He asked as he swung again

''Why would you say goodbye after you already said it before departing?''

Justin doesn't answer but instead swings more ferociously.

''Could it be you joined the inferior Order?'' I smirk

''The Templar's are not inferior!'' Justin shouts before swinging again at my arm only for Madness to take more of the blow, I think I can make this work.

''Then why do they send waves of the red Templar's at us like lambs to the slaughter?'' I ask before attempting a punch to his stomach which he blocks with his blade.

''To wear Shibusen down before the cavalry come'' He replies

''I thought you had devoted yourself to Shinigami-sama'' I said before blocking another attack

''That was before the Order showed me that Shinigami-sama wasn't as powerful as The Grand Master, who had shown me greater enlightenment!'' He shouted before swinging again

I leap back and Justin doesn't attempt to come after me ''Madness, Rage''

The elements invisibly nod before slithering into the air above me, the two emotions entwine with each other and glow brightly to create a large 'C' shaped scythe that was a mix of red and purple. It falls into my hand and I spin it around me before having the blade behind me like I have Witch Hunter before smiling sadly.

''I'm sorry about this Justin''

I charge at him and he raises both arms to protect himself, I move at an incredible speed that makes me a blur so I am behind him in less than a millisecond. Everything is still and quiet as the evening air blows by us when I speak in a croak of a voice:

''Emotional Technique: Silent Agony

Justin suddenly gasps and is split in half while (as the name implies) screams silently in agony from the blow, his torso begins to float away from his legs when white silky threads reach out and grab both parts of his body and drag them bag together before they automatically begin stitching him together again, unfortunately for him the Technique is designed to make my opponent feel incredible agony but cannot scream or curse or anything of the sort and must endure this pain for a full hour before it weakens and fully disappears two hours after that. Justin falls to the ground and several pairs of feet run over to him while I sense one behind me.

''How did you know Justin had sided with the Templar's?'' Maka asks

I reach up with my finger and tap the side of my hood ''Mind's eye''

''What did you do to him?''

''That Technique is designed to make my opponent feel and incredible amount of pain but are unable to cry or scream or anything of the sort. I used it so we could get Justin cuffed up without any real problems'' I explain

''There are less painful methods that you could have used against him'' Stein's voice called out as he walked towards me and Maka.

''Not with Madness and Rage, if I had Sadness then yeah but I didn't. Besides he deserved it since he let himself be brainwashed'' I said before turning to Sid ''Sid''

''What?'' He asked, slightly annoyed but also worried

''I won, meaning I keep the potion'' I said and Kid turned to me with a furious look

''I-'' He said before Liz put her hand over his mouth, looking as pissed as her Meister.

''I'll drink it when I get home to prevent anything getting damaged'' I smirk ''But first we must attend to Justin, hopefully breaking the brainwashing''

''Right'' Kid said as he regained his composure

''Maka, you can head to your dorm'' I smile at the blonde ''I'm sure Soul is waiting for you eagerly''

She nods and begins a steady run down the stairs while I begin my own steady walk towards the school, it was around half seven

Le Twenty minutes Later

We had Justin Law chained up in a cell despite Sid's idea of having him in Lord Death's room, we abandoned the idea after realising that Justin could be an assassin like Amelia. We were all outside his cell discussing what to do about him.

''I could try and break the brainwashing'' I say

''What method are you thinking of?'' Nygus said curiously

''A few. Magic, alchemy, slapping him senseless'' I smile at the last one ''Unless any of you have any ideas I will proceed''

No one speaks up so I open the cell and walk up to Justin who was still in complete agony but very alert at my presence. I crouch in front of him as his body continues to spasm from the intense pain as I stare into his hollow blue eyes in search of the real Justin Law.

''Painkiller'' I said and Justin instantly stops squirming and sags like he ran a thousand miles

''Where is the grand master?'' I ask

Justin grunts ''I was told not to reveal any information about the grand master to Shi-'' He got as far as that when I removed the painkiller spell causing him to go into another fit of spasms.

''OKAY! OKAY!'' He shouts through the pain and I put the spell back on him, after I do he pants like a dog before speaking ''He resides in the Amazon, that is where I was taken before they showed me enlightenment''

''Good, now to get this brainwashing off of you'' I reach out and slap him across the face, he turns back to me with a sour look but I just smile. Ofcourse that wouldn't work but you know, what the hell? He deserved it.

I hold my hand out to the left and a green-pink potion appears in my hand, I grab Justin's chin and chug it down his throat. After he did he grabbed the sides of his throat.

''IT BURNS!'' He cried before I do an evil laugh and with the twirl of a finger, remove the painkiller

Justin is sent into another spasm and I smile evilly as I walk back to the other teachers who were watching me.

''Kema what the hell?!'' Sid shouts

''The potion burns his throat as the brainwashing is removed, I sent him back into a spasm so it would be quicker'' I explain while holding out my hand where a delicious ham sandwich appears ''Shinigami I am hungry!''

I take a huge bite out my sandwich and casually begin walking through the halls like I own the place, Stein footsteps are behind me as I walk.

''Your attitude has changed considerably'' He said as we become out of sight from the others

''Cockiness'' I say and take a final bite out of my sandwich before stretching my arms into the air, releasing a long sigh before I feel Stein's long arm wrap around my waist before he spins me around to face him.

''Well we better do something about that, shouldn't we?'' He says before his lips crash into mine and pushes me up against the cold stone wall, the cold goes through my black robe onto my back sending a chill down my spine. We break away from the kiss and he gently grabs my wrist and pulls me into a cell before slamming the door shut, I extend a free hand and cast a quick soundproof spell before he squeezes my breast causing me to moan and he lips crash into mine again. He takes no time in fondling for the zipper and rubbing he knee on my crotch. Shinigami I am glad I came back.
