An Awkward Reunion – Arusa Really Doesn't Want to be Here?

Arusa walked nervously behind Stein. It had been three days since Transylvania; they had just arrived at the academy. The hallways were filled with students; all of which were staring at her.

"Who's she?"

"What's she doing here?"

"Is she a new professor?"

"What's with the dog?" The children muttered amongst themselves, watching her warily. Arusa stepped closer to Stein, Lupis followed behind her growling softly.

"I'm not very comfortable with this…" She said quietly as they approached the Death Room.

"It'll only be for a few days, then they'll become accustom to you."

"Still…" She glanced at a group of students that were staring at her.

"ROO ROO!" Arusa looked up, Spirit sprinted down the hallway flinging his arms around the young woman. Her eyes went wide in surprise.

"Spirit?"

"OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S REALLY YOU!" He tightened the hug making it hard for her to breath.

"Spirit…"

"IT'S BEEN SO LONG I …"

"Spirit! I can't breath."

"Oh, sorry." He stepped back holding her at arms length. Looking her up and down he frowned, then he lightly jabbed a finger at her stomach. "You're skinnier than I remember, have you been eating enough?" she raised an eyebrow and gave a small laugh.

"Not that that's a problem, I mean you're still as hot as you used to be, maybe more so…" his eyes lingered a little too long on her body, Arusa punched him in the arm.

"You pervert." He laughed.

"So what are you doing in Death City," he glanced at Stein, a mischievous grin forming on his face. "Romantic reunion perhaps?" Arusa blushed.

"No! Of… uh…"

"No, we ran into Roo while hunting down Kishins in Transylvania, I decided it would be better if we brought her back with us, we're on our way to Lord Death at the moment." Stein put his hands into the pockets of his lab coat.

"Really? Sure you're not on you way to the martial arts classroom for a little 'training'" he made air quotations with his fingers. He laughed at her red face. She jabbed him in the shoulder.

"Ow!" his arm went limp.

"Shut up." she hissed. Spirit rubbed his arm. Stein seemed completely unfazed by anything that had just been said.

"Relax Roo Roo I was just joking." She glared at the death-scythe. Reaching out she cracked his shoulder back into place. "OW!"

"My, my what do we have here?" the three friends looked up at a woman in a black dress and white doctors coat. She had blonde hair that snaked into a braid down her neck like a necklace and bright yellow eyes stared with amusement.

"Hello Dr. Medusa." Stein said politely.

"Oh, my lovely nurse have you come to heal my broken heart?" Spirit launched himself at her; she stepped out of the way he fell onto the smooth hallway floor. Dr. Medusa giggled.

"Down boy." She gave them an awkward smile as he wrapped his arms around her leg. Arusa shook her head.

"Same old Spirit." Dr. Medusa stepped forward awkwardly, dragging the infatuated death-scythe with her.

"Hi I'm Dr. Medusa, I'm the school nurse." She held out her hand. Arusa smiled and reached out to shake it.

"I'm Arusa, I went to school with Stein and Spirit…" As soon as their hands made contact both women's smiles faded. Arusa frowned she could feel something that wasn't quite right about this Dr. Medusa. Lupis growled softly beside her. Medusa tried her hardest not to glare at the icy eyes woman in front of her; she had an abnormally strong soul wavelength and if she wasn't careful she might be able to sense who she really was. Pulling her hand back the nurse smiled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Arusa," she giggled again looking down at Spirit. "I suppose I should let you be on your way, I need to get back to work anyways." Arusa shook her head, forcing a smile and laughing.

"Of course," She glanced at Spirit. "I guess I'll see you later Spirit."

"Uhuh…" He replied dreamily. Saying goodbye to the nurse and Spirit, Stein started off down the hallway. Arusa followed him.

When they reached the Death room Arusa hesitated underneath one of the guillotine archways.

"Stein…" he stopped walking and looked back at her.

"Yes?" she hesitated, wondering if she should share her fears with him. Shaking her head she smiled at him.

"Never mind." He resumed walking. Her smiled vanished, oh she really didn't want to do this, why did Lord Death need to see her, why couldn't they have just let her be? There was silence except for the clicking of Lupis' claws on the floor. As they neared the platform Arusa moved closer to Stein nervously. She really wasn't looking forward to seeing Lord Death.

"Oh, hello Stein how ya doin? Good to see ya." The Grimm reaper's ludicrous voice rang from the platform at the end of the archways.

"Hello Lord Death." Stein replied. Arusa stepped up onto the platform right behind him. She reached out anxiously and gripped the sleeve of his lab coat. Stein glanced over his shoulder at her.

"Oh, is that who I think it is?" Lord Death peeked over Stein's shoulder. The scientist sighed.

"Stop hiding Arusa it's fine," he moved to the side and pushed her forwards. She shifted under the Reaper's gaze. Lupis came up beside her and gave her hand a reassuring lick.

"Oh, hello Arusa, it's been awhile." She stared at the floor.

"Yeah."

"So, what brings you to Death City after all these years?"

"Umm…"

"That breakout of Kishins in Transylvania was because of her." Stein stated flatly. Arusa mentally face palmed, thanks a lot Stein, way to make me sound like a convict that you're turning in.

"Really?" Lord Death leaned closer to her. She bent backwards in response. "Well that is interesting, I suppose it was that time again?" she nodded not knowing how else to respond. "Alrighty then now that that's out of the way, lets discus your registration." Arusa's mouth dropped open.

"My what?" She looked over at Stein who gave her an innocent look. "Y-You knew about this didn't you?"

"Yeah I knew it was you all along."

"So you lied about being surprised to see me? The only reason you were there was to bring me back here? What the hell Stein?"

"Don't shout, it was my idea to retrieve you." Lord Death cut in.

"And you!" she whirled around and pointed an accusing finger at him. "What gives you the right to interfere in my life? I thought I made it clear that I wanted nothing more to do with you and this stupid academy when I left ten years ago!"

"Yes, yes but there's no need to be angry, I just wanted to talk." Lord Death held up his large white hands. She glared at him.

"Relax Roo," Stein placed a hand on her shoulder. "The academy is rather low on teachers right now, Lord Death is just offering you a position."

"Well I'm not interested." She shook off his hand and started to leave.

"It's too bad, I know for a fact that a select few have been missing you." The reaper's high-pitched voice caused her to pause.

"Just out of curiosity, what exactly would I be teaching?"

"Martial arts, soul resonance, partner ship, channelling the soul wavelength, you now the more physical things." Arusa smiled, damn him for knowing her so well. She sighed.

"Alright, I guess I could give it a try."

"Ok then! Stein I'll trust you to get her settled, of you go now shoo shoo." He waved them out of the room.

"I can't believe I just agreed to that." Arusa said to Stein when they were standing out in the hallway again. The scientist smiled.

"Well we're all glad you did." She looked up at him.

"Really?" she narrowed her eyes.

"Of course, you are a great asset to the academy. The students are lucky to have such a powerful instructor." She drooped a bit.

"Right."

"And," Stein placed a hand on her shoulder. "It is very nice to see you again Roo, I did miss you." She perked up a bit at this.

"I missed you too Stein." After a moment of awkward silence Stein cleared his throat.

"Well we should probably get you settled." She frowned.

"Umm… yeah about that, I don't exactly have anywhere to stay while I'm here."

"You can stay with me." she stiffened, colour tinting her cheeks. Fiddling with her hands she replied.

"Uh… well that… umm… I don't know…" He smiled.

"I promise not to dissect you while your sleeping."

"It's when I'm awake that I'm afraid of," she muttered quietly. "Oh alright, I suppose…"

"Good, tomorrow I'll introduce you to your students." Her students. She thought. She had never liked children, but for some reason she was slightly excited. Just then something crossed her mind.

"Umm, Stein?"

"Yes?"

"Uh… were exactly do you live?"
