CHAPTER 3 – Where We Belong

Something inside that house made Soul feel uncomfortable, even though it was the place he one day called home. Upon entering that mansion an inexplicable felling of gloominess took over and the boy froze at the first steps of the huge stairs. He stood there, thinking of what to say to those strangers he called family.

"Soul?"

Soul snapped out of his thoughts and looked up to find his brother upstairs. He didn't change much: still had that impeccable air that soul hated and envied so much.

"Wes." Soul replied, grabbing his baggage that he insisted to carry, much to William's disapproval.

"That's it? Almost 3 years without news about you and all you have to say is "Wes"?

"I was busy."

"You could have called, you know."

"Eh" Soul sighed and rolled his eyes. You sound just like someone I know. "I'm here now, aren't I?"

The older brother placed one of his hands in Soul's shoulder, and analyzed him for a few seconds. "You changed a lot. Each day that passes you and I look more alike." Wes gave him a serene smile, but Soul looked away, hiding his real fellings.

Yeah, right, mister perfect. Like anyone could be ever as good as you.

"I see you're chatty as ever, Soul. C'mon, mother and grandmother are awaiting you."

"So, your mission is to find this group? Maka hurried up her pace to catch up with his mother.

"Yeah. It is supposedly a group of people with angel–shaped souls. The group is scattered throughout the world, but one of these members is located here."

"Angel-shaped? Grigori? You mean, like you and me?"

Kami stopped and looked at her daughter. "Ah, Shinigami must have told you then. Yes, that's correct, we both have this rare soul shape. But I believe he did not tell you everything about it." She looked at her watch clock.

"And you're gonna ask their help? For beating Kishin, that is?

"Yes, but we've got to win their trust first."

"'We'?"

"Uh-huh. That's why I called you."

"Mama, I don't think I follow. We're going to do something for them?

"No. We're going to join them."

"Huh?"

The girl had thousands of questions popping out in her mind, but as she felt the presence of a brother soul approaching them, she knew that all of them would be answered soon enough.
