Wandering

It was easy enough to get Death God's agreement. Easier than she thought. He must have really needed her help if he was that eager to accept… Not that it was a problem for her. After all, she had her own reasons for doing this. As if she'd accept out of the 'goodness of her heart'. What a load of bullshit that was. This uniform is stupid… she grimaced, looking at herself in the mirror. And this girls' bathroom…How shabby! She gave a cynical look at the surrounding around her and gave a chuckle. She looked back to the mirror and decided to fix her hair. It was already fine, but she liked to fiddle with her hair, anyway. After wards, she headed out into the hallway. She didn't understand why she had to wear this. It was true, she was going to be around the school for a bit, but it wasn't like she was doing any sort of school work. She knew far more than these brats would ever know.

"… Lir?" Kok-Lir turned around and came to face with the boy. It was none other than Soul; the odd, loner boy. Or, what she thought of him, anyway. She found it easier to befriend boys since they were usually more clueless than girls.

"Ah, hello, Soul!" Lir smiled, giving a small curtsy. As she returned to a normal standing position, she noticed a girl with pigtails standing beside him. There was also two taller, blonde women and… Aha! That must be him…Lir gave a smirk as she stared at Death the Kid. She already knew who he was. She knew what he was like, and his habits. It sounded odd, but apparently he was quite popular around here. Not by his looks (by far), but rather by his reputations.

"So, you ARE a student here?" Soul asked again, taken aback by her uniform. Lir simple gave a nod and another smile. The girl with pigtails gave Soul a nudge and in return he gave a grunt. "This is Kok-Lir…" he began, but was soon interrupted.

"I'm Maka! Maka Albarn!" the girl smiled, holding out her hand to shake Lir's. "I'm a Meister, and Soul is my weapon." She grinned. Lir slowly pushed her hand towards Maka, but ended up just taking her index finger and giving it a small shake.

"Yes, it's a pleasure." She smiled again. "But please, call me 'Lir'." Maka gave another nod. She was also taken aback, but not by her looks, as Liz and Patti were. Rather, it was her soul… She actually couldn't SEE her soul. Instead she saw a small, faint glow that she couldn't really see unless she concentrated hard enough.

"Those two are Liz and Patti Thompson…" Soul introduced, pointing to them in order. Patti gave a huge grin and a laugh while Liz hid behind her little sister.

"… S-Scary demon…" she whispered in fear. Lir heard that, but decided not to address it… Today, anyway. She wanted to give off a 'good' impression. At least, that's what Death God advised her to do.

"And the last one here is-"

"Death the Kid." Kid interrupted, his eyes closed and his arms crossed. Lir stared at the boy, emotionless, then gave a small grin.

"Ah, I see! So THIS is the boy I've heard so much about!" she laughed. "My! You're quite famous, I hear people talking about you all the time…" she sneered, then gave off a grin, showing her pointed teeth. "In any case, it's nice to meet you all!" she gave a curtsy, and then went back to her usual smile. "I'm looking forward to when we all work together!"

"… We're working together?" Soul once again inquired. He's the one always asking…Lir took a mental note.

"My! Didn't you know? Ah, I guess you'll see soon enough!" Lir giggled. Maka still stared intently at the demon, trying to see into her soul. Lir, noticing how intently Maka has been staring at her, shot her a glare. She looked right into Maka's eyes, with her never changing smile. Stop trying to read my soul, brat! Maka's eyes then shot wide and put a hand to her head. What was that? A very sudden, sharp pain went through her head… It felt like a migraine, but not quite as bad. Within seconds, the pain was gone, and Lir's eyes wandered off to look at Soul. "Now! I do believe you children have class now, don't you?" she gasped, pretending to look at her wrist for the time. Amazingly, she was right.

"… Yeah. Well, uh… Don't you have class?" Maka sheepishly asked. Despite the horns and tail, the girl appeared to be her age.

"Ah, not right now, no. I guess you could say that I have a spare right now." Lir answered.

"Oh! Well… I guess we'll see you later then…?" Maka smiled, still confused as to where the pain came from. "Anyway, it was nice to meet you!" and with that, everyone had left… And so, Lir turned around to go to the balcony… Or somewhere so that she could kill time. Maybe she would take a flight around the school grounds…

"You don't fool me, demon." Surprised to see someone was still there, Lir turned around and placed a hand near her mouth.

"Oh my! Won't you be late for class, dear?" she gave a concerned look, putting her other hand near her hip. Kid still had his arms crossed and glared at Lir with his gold eyes.

"What do you want?" he rudely asked, impatience arising in his voice.

"I wonder, I wonder! What do I want?" Lir teased, giving a dark smile.

"It's not often you see a demon talking to a Death God." Kid crassly stated. He didn't have time for this demon's games. He needed answers, and knowing his father, he wouldn't get them from HIM until the time came for him to work with this… Thing.

"My! So rude!" Lir whined, looking rather disappointed now. "Do you treat all girls like this? I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have a girlfriend!" she snickered. She was letting him know that she wouldn't tell him anything; it's not like he would believe her, anyway. After all, when was the last time YOU believed a demon?

"It would be nice if you answered my question, you filth." Kid sharply interjected. Lir simply looked at him, not in disappointment, but rather a sympathetic look you give to young mothers who have young children by their side.

"Such a child. I can't believe you're older than you appear." She darkly smiled again. Kid continued to glare at the demon. He certainly didn't like being called a 'child' by this thing. Not one bit. "My! You ARE a bit short, aren't you?" she chuckled, coming up to him and giving his head a pat. With her boots on, she was about two inches taller than Kid. Kid slapped her arm away and Lir gave a hurtful look. "Ooooh, that hurt!" she pretended to whine again.

"Don't TOUCH me. Ever." He stated, looking at her in disgust. Lir smiled then burst into laughter.

"Kyaa hahaha! My! What a look! So serious! Keep doing it, it's hilarious!" she continued her laughter, soon holding her sides as they started to hurt due to her intense laughter. Kid gave a sneer then walked off to his class. "… Good, he's gone." Lir went back to her usual posture and fixed her hair and blouse. Soon, I'll start… she thought, looking out the nearby window. … But I'm sorry.

"EEEEK! S-So scary!" Liz cried at her desk, hiding her head. "Did you see those horns? And what about that tail! Ahhh! So scary! A demon, a demon!" she continued to cry as Patti gave her head a small pat.

"There, there." She comforted her sister, then gave a grin. "Horns sounds great! You can ram into people's stomachs with them!"

"… I-I don't think that's a good idea…" Maka discouraged the idea. Soul stared at the front of the classroom in boredom, when he noticed Kid enter. "Ah, hey!" Maka called out, watching him return to his seat. "Where were you?" she asked, and the rest of the gang stared at him as if they asked too. Kid said nothing and neatly organized his paper and pencils.

"Just saying 'hello' to the new student, is all." He politely answered; making sure his eraser was in the correct spot. "I'm the son of the Death God; it's my job to make sure new students feel welcome here." He gave a smirk for a second, then reverted back to his collected self. Liz looked at Kid with some concern and looked to the front of the classroom. Something was up, but she couldn't ask him now; he would avoid it, whatever it was. She'd have to pursue him after school, when he was out of the other students' way…
