Chapter 3

Meeting new people-

Who is Bubba?

Shonaku's

I sat in one of the seats in the classroom in silence. The guy with the screw head read his book, and took notes on a notepad. Ugh, how much longer do I have to wait? That chick is just taking her sweet ass time, while I sit MY ass in a lame, retarded classroom! All this cause of some cruddy food I just happened to steal.. After waiting for half am hour or so the door opened up, and there she was.

She walked in the classroom alone with no one with her at all. Perfect!

"Hello Professor Stein! I'm here to see- oh there you are! Awake now?" Maka noticed me at the corner top of all the desks. She was so calm and happy with that smile of hers, it sickened me. I jumped down the desks and quickly onto the floor. The only smile she'd receive from me was a smug grin. I cracked my knuckles, and looked her in the eye mine filled with revenge for bringing me here. "Finally. I've been waiting for you, Maka."

Narrator's P.O.V

Shonaku neared closer to Maka, and Maka herself completely clueless about what was about to happen. "Look, I know this wasn't what you were expecting, but I just had to bring you here. I saw that you couldn't be on your own, so I thought why not have this girl join the DWMA? I already asked Lord Death if he could take you as a student, and he said he'd think about it. See everything will be okay!"

"Okay? OKAY!? What the hell is wrong with you!? You think you can just easily force me into some school all of a sudden!? What are you gonna do next, lead my life for me, huh? You have no idea what goes on in my life, so you shouldn't be already making fucking decisions! This is my life I can do whatever I want with it! And why should I trust you in letting me be here anyways!? You already tried to hurt me, so there goes loyalty down to your big fat ass!"

The last quote irritated Maka, but she only shrugged it off. Maka knew that she could help this girl, but she also knew that the girl would only keep denying the offer of a better life. Maka held down her annoyance and kept herself calm.

"Like I said, that was an accident. All I want to do is help you. I don't want to do your life for you, I just want to help make it a better one. I know that you've probably been through some rough times and I just want to be your friend. Okay?"

Shonaku gritted her teeth. She had it, her anger filled her to the top. Shonaku formed both of her arms into bazookas, and charged after Maka. "You damn bitch, you know NOTHING of me!" Maka jumped over Shonaku, dodging her charge only by a mere second. But Shonaku quickly turned around and faced maka with her bazooka hands in front of her. "I might not understand you, but I know someone who might have been like you!" Maka said as she put her hands up hoping she wouldn't get blasted. Shonaku shot her anyways out of anger. Maka flew to the wall with mighty force, causing there to be a huge dent on the wall in the classroom. Maka fell to the ground in pain, but stood up again. Shonaku had a face of shock as she saw that the blast had little affect on Maka, but changed her expression to hide the surprised look. "Uhuh, oh I wonder who could that be?" Maka stumbled towards a desk for balance, and ruffled her skirt. "There's a boy in this school and he had some problems like you. He didn't like anything or anyone about this school either, but I helped him get use to his surroundings, and he ended up liking everything about this academy. He thinks the teachers and students are nice and he likes to get to know everyone. Although he doesn't like being very social unless I'm there with him. He's pretty shy so that's your only difference. You seem to have a lot in common with him so if he did fine being here, then I'm sure you will too. Please, don't do this, you'll love it here! I promise it." with every word that Maka said Shonaku only grew angrier, and ran to Maka, side- kicking her back to the floor.

"Liar! Liar! Liar! That would be impossible! I know what you people do, you trick them into thinking that they have a new happy home, only to leave then for dead after! And how would this boy just simply love the school so much?!" "It was said easier than done! Trust me it was a lot harder to introduce him than any other new student!" Maka yelled back. "Oh, so here we go with the trust me again! Well you know what, either you like or not you can never trust anyone! I'm sick of your sappy crap, okay? Maka, you're done for!"

Maka, once again got back up, and gazed at Shonaku.

Is she ever going to get the point that I'm trying to put here? She's like a stubborn kid! Why does she feel like everyone around her will abandon her? Maybe she is like Crona, someone who hadn't had the chance to feel the bright side of life. Maybe if I look into her soul too I'll find how to communicate with her, where she'll get a better understanding. Yeah, that's exactly what I'll do.

Maka drowned out Shonaku's ranting, and closed her eyes. She focused on Shonaku's physical body and looked into it. Inside her body it was hollow, just like how it would look like for any human. There was something missing though.

The soul itself.

Maka's eyes widened and looked at Shoanku in aghast. She opened her mouth like if she wanted to say something, but now words came out. Shonaku stopped yelling and looked at Maka with daggers. "I know what you're trying to do Maka. That's something of me that you don't understand. And it's also something that you should stay away from. I want you done and over with, so I'm going to make this hit a good one- strong enough to prevent you from standing up again, got it?" Shonaku smirked. "Now hold still for me, will ya?"

Shonaku collided her bazooka hands together and yelled,

"Soul Resonance!" and the part of her that was weapon glowed a bright yellow, and when the shine faded away there were immense sized bazookas replacing the normal, smaller ones. Maka was even more shocked right now, so shocked that she was frozen in place. T-that impossible! No weapon can resonate alone! In order to resonate there has to be both a meister and weapon soul! W-what is she!? Shonaku was locked and loaded, ready to shoot Maka just when Professor Stein came from aside and used his soul wavelength on Shonaku, sending her flying to the desks. Her soul resonance wore off, and her hands went back to normal, human fingers. Shonaku clutched her side, groaning in pain.

"I think that's enough now." Stein said. Maka blinked and unfroze herself. She walked up to Stein to talk to him, but as she did Shonaku vibrantly got up, stared at Maka with a face of defeat and anger, and ran out of the classroom. Stein turned to Maka. "Don't you think you should be going after her? She might try to escape the academy."

"No. I have a feeling that this time she won't run from me...Stein. Did you see it?" "Yes. I do see a similarity between her and Crona, but I also see that she is much different as well. Don't bite on more than you can chew with this kid, alright? She won't be easy to deal with Maka, don't go as far as thinking that she'll be accepted here." Maka sighed. "I know but I just have to try. It's for her sake. She needs the help."

Soul couldn't wait anymore, he ran up the stairs and into the hall. He stopped when he passed by Shonaku, and saw her run outside. Soul finally reached the classroom to find Maka with Stein, along with a mess in the classroom. "Maka she's getting away!"

"Just leave her be, she's not going anywhere. Sorry to keep you holding for so long, I just had an argument with her that's all." "But look at you! You should've called me so you wouldn't have gotten hurt!" Maka only smiled back at Soul. "It's okay Soul, I'm fine. really."

Shonaku's P.O.V

I ran out into the halls and outside the academy. I stopped and sat on the stairs with my head down. I could feel that my face was hot. I always hated loosing, but I always felt that I lost a battle no matter what. But I took a look back to what Maka was telling me during that fight. Then I started to have second thoughts on the school, maybe being able to give it a chance.

Could it be? Another chance? Someone else who would take me in? I could be happy for once, and not cause trouble for anyone. But...even if I try I always make problems for everyone, and they always end up hating me. Hey, maybe this is what that other guy thought? The guy that Maka mentioned, could he have had a horrible life like me? It's crazy though, how can someone else live a bad life maybe worse than mine, and like this school? Doesn't seem believable to me. Maybe if I here it from this guy in person-see what he has to actually say. Just as I finished that train of thought I heard someone come up the stairs, talking to someone else.

"Seriously, you should stop worrying about repaying Maka. You're starting to give me a headache with all your panicking. I just wanna go to sleep, but pansy here decides to take a stroll around town like an idiot! At least we're here, I'm going to sleep so night! And stop your whining or I'll give you a noogie!" another voice spoke back.

"I'm sorry Ragnorok, I just can't get it out of my head. I don't know what else I could do, I-" the sound of footsteps coming up from the steps stopped. He probably sees me right now. Not bothering to lift up my head I spoke to this person.

"Hey, do you go to this place?" there was a pause, but the person spoke so softly I could barely hear him.

"Y-yes.." "Then why don't you tell me about this place." The person paused again which annoyed me, because I wanted an immediate answer. Come on guy, it's not like I have all day! "W-well it's very n-nice here..and everyone is so k-kind to me...b-but there's just so many people here..." the last quote gave gave me a hint about this person. "Hey, do you only like to talk to others when Maka is there, because you feel comfortable with her?"

"Y-yes.." the person said shyly. I was certain that this was the guy Maka was talking about. "Then answer me this. If you're so scared to interact with others unless Maka is there, then what are you doing right now?" I could hear a small gasp from this person, and we were both there in a long moment of silence.

I spoke up, "That's okay, you don't have to answer. You can go now." I heard footsteps go up the rest of the way, but at a slower pace. I'm pretty sure I baffled him with that question. Just then though, I heard another set of footsteps run up behind me. I knew exactly who is was.

"Well? Will you? Just please stay here, I promise you that I can help you, I-" I stood up and turned around to Maka and hugged her tightly. Tears swelled up in my eyes and dripped down my face. I sobbed in her shoulder. "Please let me stay here! I trust you, I really do! I'll let you enroll me here, I just don't know how to thank you!" I said, finally letting out what I had really felt deep inside. Maka hugged me back.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry anymore. I hope you dont mind but for a few nights you're going to have to sleep in the cell that you were currently in." "That's okay I dont care. It doesn't matter. I just want to be happy. Be happy and make peace in others.." We both let go of each other, and Maka held a hand out to me. "Let's introduce ourselves in a better way. I'm Maka Albarn and I want to know if you want to be my friend." I shook her hand gladly. "I'm Shonaku Miwasaki, and I would be happy to be your friend Maka."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

I woke up by a shove on my shoulder. I rubbed my eyes, and looked up to find Maka with a bright smile. "Good afternoon Shonaku, it's time to begin our tour around the academy now." I sat up in my bed and yawned. "Yeah I'm ready. Hey, what time is it?"

"2:00" My eyes widened, and I got out from my bed. "Two in the afternoon!? I thought we had an agreement to wake me up at nine 'o clock to start the tour!" Maka scratched the back of her head and laughed sheepishly. "Hehe I know but you looked so sound asleep when I came in earlier, I didn't want to bother you! You looked so happy just sleeping there!" I grunted, not happy with how my new life was starting out, already being late for something just because of how I sleep. "Well come on! But before I start I want you to meet the others!" I looked at Maka, confused. "Others? What do you mean others?" "My friends silly!"

"What!? Hell no, I'm not meeting those dumbasses! I'd rather die than be friends with morons like them!" Maka dragged me out of the cell anyways, as happy as a rainbow. "Oh come on! I'm sure you'll like them!" See this is what I hate about meisters. They force you to do shit, and expect you to like it! Even if you're not their partner! Maka turned to me as we left the cell. "I'm really glad that Lord Death agreed on taking you here!" I rolled my eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah."

maybe this was a bad idea..

Maka brought me up to a group of people who I recognized from the goose chase yesterday, and introduced me to them. "Guys, this is Shonaku. She's not bad anymore, and she won't steal from anyone. She'll be our new friend here. Shonaku, this is Soul," she pointed to a boy with white hair and red eyes. "this is Black Star," she pointed to a boy with blue spiky hair. "this is Tsubaki," she pointed to a tall girl with black hair tied into a high ponytail. "this is Death the Kid. Lord Death's son. We call him Kid for short." I looked at Death the Lid with curiosity, three stripes on one side of his black hair. "and those two are Liz," she pointed to a girl with long hazelnut hair. "and Patty." she pointed to to another girl with short blond hair. "They're both twins." Maka said.

I looked at all of them, and they looked at me. I turned to Black Star and went up to him. "Hey, werent you the kid you tried to attack me?" Black Star grinned and pointed to himself. "that's me all right! I was so ready to put you down! Hyahahaha-" I immediately strikes him hard in the balls. Black Star fell to the floor, crouching. "That's what you get for trying to attack me. And for thinking that you could actually defeat me." I turned to Maka, grinning. "Okay I met your little friends now, can we start this dumb tour already?"

"Uh..yeah..." "Don't worry!" I said, "I'm sure he'll be fine!" after that Maka started the tour and let me tell you this: it was boring as HELL. She kept explaining every little detail about this school, and I wanted to crush her little head so she could shut up! Now I started having second thoughts about letting her take me here. Finally Maka decided that we take a break and go meet the others in the classroom. "So what do you think of the place, Shonaku?" Soul asked me. I stood up and folded my arms. "I hate it, and it's boring." Soul sighed seeming very annoyed, but like I cared. Maka frowned at me, "Oh come on Shonaku just give it a chance please!" I turned around facing the wall where there was that huge dent. "I don't know. I seriously can't see how you people enjoy this place." And anyways, one of the real reasons I accepted to be here was so that I can see that guy I was talking to last night. Everyone is so cheesy here, but I know that he'll understand me. There was a knock on the classroom door and I turned around in excitement, hoping it would be the person I was really waiting for.

"Patty! Liz! There you are! We were waiting for you!" Maka said with cheer. I groaned and turned around, disappointed. Ugh, are you fucking kidding me? There was another knock on the door, and Maka said come in! Huh, it's probably another stupid friend of hers. I didn't bother to turn around to see who it was. "Oh, hi Crona! You're out so early from your classes!" "Yeah, Ms. Marie decided to let me out early.." said a very familiar voice. I immediately turned around and looked at him. His hair looked all over the place and he was wearing some sort of robe thing, something that I felt that I've seen before. "It's you!"

Narrator's P.O.V

Crona, startled by the comment looked across the classroom to see a girl pointing at him. He stared at her and realized not just that she was the girl who asked him the question yesterday, but also the girl who was unconscious in Soul's arms. Her voice sounded like a child like voice, and Crona stared not knowing what to do. Everyone else was confused at her comment. Shonaku ran up to Crona with a glare in her eyes. Then she looked down, and said in a very low and serious tone. "You're the one that I was talking to yesterday. I forgot to ask you one more thing...did you live a horrible childhood..so terrible, that you were lost?"

Maka could see that Shonaku was clutching her fists tightly, and didn't know whether Shonaku would hurt him or not. Everyone stared, and silence filled the room. Crona finally found the courage to say something. "Y-yes.." after a few moments, Shonaku exploded with cheer.

"Finally! Someone who understands me!" everyone, with a question mark on their head were even more confused about this new situation. "Geez I couldn't find one person who had a bad childhood like me! Thank Death that I found you! Hey can I talk to you privately? Okay! Let's get out of this stuffy classroom first!" Shonaku said excitedly. "Huh?" Crona couldn't say anymore as he was yanked out of the classroom. "Uh..what just happened?" Soul said dumbfounded. "She just took him and left.." Tsubaki said. Maka tried to make sense of things. "I-it's okay..maybe she'll be cooperative with Crona..I think.." First she wants to be here, then she hates it here, and now she wants to talk to Crona? Oh brother. Maka sweat dropped.

"Hey before I talk to you can we go somewhere private where no one will hear us?" Crona looked at Shonaku, not knowing what to do. He was starting to get a little scared by her happy and jumpy mood. "Umm, I-I think I know somewhere..." "Well come on, let's go already!" Crona took Shonaku to a balcony where he and Maka had talked once about Maka's mother.

Shonaku and Crona took a seat, and Shonaku looked up at the sky. She swung her legs against the wall. "So," she said, "what are you? A meister or a weapon?" Crona looked at her again, but turned away without a word. Shonaku stared at Crona closely waiting for an answer, which only made Crona feel even more uncomfortable. "Well come on, don't be shy." Shonaku told him.

Crona still didn't say anything, being too timid to talk to her, thinking that she would jump on him. "It's not that hard to talk to someone else every now and then. Look, I'll show you. I'll say my name and you'll say yours, okay? I didn't catch your name back there." Shonaku smiled and let out a hand. "I'm Shonaku! And who are you?" Crona looked at the corner of his eye, and saw how happy she looked. He compared that to her mood last night, all serious and low. He slowly turned his head around to her, but didn't shake her hand. "M-my name is C-Crona.." Shonaku saw that he would only say his name, and not shake hands. She put hers down. "See, it isn't so hard to talk to someone else. As long as you're friendly to them! Now, what I was asking before. What are you? A meister or weapon?" "A-a m-eister.." Shonaku looked at Crona in surprise. "No way, really? I never thought that someone like you could be a meister! Seriously, the way I see it meisters think they're all this and that, which is annoying! They're all up to it, and ware out their weapons! I personally don't prefer a weapon. But who knew that you were one. You're the opposite of one, so I can't see you as one. If its only one thing, I hate meisters." Crona began to have his doubts about Shonaku again, as she kept bringing negativity on meisters over and over. She kept ranting about it, but Crona lost her in the conversation as something caught his eye. He never noticed it before, but it stuck out like a sore thumb now. There was a necklace that Shonaku wore the entire time. It had thin wiring with an object hanging loosely. It looked like some sort of gem stone, but it glowed brightly-considering it being daytime- with colorful glows, as if wanting Crona's attention on it. The gem stone was shaped like a peace sign, and all Crona wanted to do now was ask Shonaku about the necklace. For some strange reason it looked familiar to him.

"Where did you get the necklace?" Crona said, interrupting Shonaku's chatting. She stopped abruptly, saying nothing at all. She hung her head low, clenching on the peace sign.

"That's none of your business..."

Crona looked at her, again surprised by her sudden change of mood and tone. Shonaku stood up from the ground. "I-I think Maka is wondering I am. She probably wants to finish that dumb tour." she said softly. Shonaku left Crona at the balcony, taking off with nothing said more. Crona looked back at Shonaku running, until she finally disappeared from his sight.

Shonaku returned back to the academy, and ran down the halls. She stopped when she heard Maka talking to someone in a room. "I understand Professor, but she keeps going on and off. How can I keep her in one place? Maybe this wasn't a good idea.." Professor Stein pushed up his glasses. "Maka, you need to know that Shonaku is someone different. She won't be the easiest to tolerate with. She's new to everything here, so she'll be jumpy with everything. A new environment is always hard to get use to, so just give it some time. Remember, she's not like the others. Don't give up so easily, Maka." there was a long pause.

"There may be something missing of her, but you can bring it back." Maka knew what Stein meant by her missing something. "You're right Professor. I'll keep trying even if it's difficult. Thanks for the support." Professor Stein smiled. "Anytime Maka." Maka left room and Shonaku turned around pretending to look for Maka, as if she didn't hear a thing. "Oh there you are, Shonaku! Why don't we finish the tour?" Shonaku turned around, putting a smile on her face.

"Okay sure!" Shonaku tried to hide how surprised she was at hearing Maka say that she wouldn't give up on her so easily. It sounds like she's going to try really hard for me. Will she really never give up? Maka showed Shonaku a few more places and realized that Shonaku had begun to seem more interested in the school itself. Maka was happy at the thought, and they finally returned back to the classroom. She saw how Shonaku was showing happiness, but noticed that something was bothering Shonaku.

Then Maka remembered. "Hey are you hungry?" She asked her. Shonaku turned to Maka. "Hell yeah I am! I haven't eaten for so long! I mean I was gonna eat that food I stole before, and eat it at my little place with-" Shonaku's eyes widened as she realized something.

"Oh crap I forgot about Bubba!" "Bubba?" Maka asked. "Shit shit shit! He's probably worried about me! Crap I need to get to him!" Shonaku ran out the classroom, cursing on the way out. "Hey, where are you going!?" Maka turned to Soul and everyone else. "Come on, let's follow her!"

Everyone ran after Shonaku, trying to catch up with her. They chased her out the academy and into the city. They ran through roads, passed people, passed markets and through alleys. Shonaku ran so fast, it was inhuman. Everyone was so behind and she was so far ahead. Shonaku made a right turn into a deep alley, and everyone followed. A dead end reached with a fence. But the fence looked old, with a torn hole in the middle. Beyond the fence there was some sort of little house. It didn't even really look like a house. Shonaku went through the fence, the others going the same way. They looked ahead of them, finding a very small shack in the middle of a small field that had fencing all around. Maka noticed a small figure in the little door way, then saw it move back in the shack.

Shonaku ran towards the shack and went in. Everyone else waited outside, the shack being only so small enough to fit in merely two people. "Hey, what did I say about moving an inch?" Shonaku spoke quietly. Maka couldn't see who Shonaku was talking to since she was waiting outside. She listened to Shonaku talk to this person.

"I know I was gone for awhile...no I didn't bring anything, but I met some friends and I think we finally have somewhere to live!...I'm sure these guys are different, Bubba...I know I scared you there, I'm sorry...here I'll show them to you!"

Shonaku came out of the shack. "Well, this is it! I built it myself. Looks a bit rusty, but it's what I call home!" the shack looked ramshackle with cardboard, wood, and some glass. It was shaped like a box with a roof, a small window, and a door way with a wooden door. "Yup! And I havent really lived all alone. I have a friend here, he's a bit shy so he probably won't show anything of his existence, but his name is Bubba!" she then went back in the shack and took out a teddy bear.

The stuffed animal didn't look so new either. It's button eyes were mismatched, with a half torn ear on the left, numerous stitches and patches on it. The bear looked dirty, stuffing coming out in some places. Maka

sweat dropped, finding that Shonaku was only talking to a teddy bear. "Isn't that just a stuffed animal?" Soul asked. "I know it looks like that, but he can really talk! He's just too shy right now, he doesn't like meeting others so he plays dead. Well, he can't talk, only move, but we still communicate with each other! I'll show you that when he feels more comfortable with you guys. He only likes talking to me alone." Maka thought that Shonaku was being a bit delusional from living in the streets all her life, but she just pretended to go along with it, and so did everyone else.

"Well now that we're here, why don't you take your belongings, and uh..Bubba too!" "Where would I take what I have left? I don't really have any other place to go besides this place here. Unless you people consider that prison my home." Shonaku said. What she has left? "W-well umm maybe there is an apartment room open at our building?" Maka said unsure about her statement.

"Actually I think there's a vacant room right next to ours." Maka elbowed Soul. "Soul, she can't, if she couldn't even buy her own food, then I doubt she can pay for rent." Maka whispered to Soul. Soul shrugged at her. "Well maybe Lord Death has something for her." "Maybe..." "Hey Maka I already packed my stuff up so maybe we can go eat something now?" Maka turned to Shonaku.

"You already packed all your belongings?" She asked her astonished. Shonaku held a box in one arm, and Bubba in the other. "Yeah, I don't really have much here.." Maka thought that if she went more into the conversation, then she would hurt Shonaku in a sensitive point. She didn't ask anything more. "Okay, let's go then! I was wondering though, how come Crona didn't come back with you?" Shonaku looked at the ground.

"He...he wanted to go home after the talk.." She said to Maka. "That's okay I guess. He's probably tired from his classes today. Oh, I forgot! After we eat we should ask Lord Death when you will begin taking classes!" "Classes?" Shonaku asked. "Of course! It is school after all!" Shonaku didn't like the sound of it, but she tried to prevent herself from getting upset again. She put a smile and nodded. She asked Maka,

"So, where should we eat?"
