Chapter 5-
Suspicions Rise
The Battle Between Shonaku and Black Star?
Shonaku's P.O.V
It was the next morning during class. Today, surprisingly Professor guy didn't talk about dissections, but about regular lessons. Surprisingly, it was even more boring than a dissection. I mean I'd rather go back to learning about that creepy shit than this crap!
"This is stupid, all of it is pointless! I mean, half of this crap is about meisters! What's so interesting about that? I hate meisters." Maka gave me a death glare, and a stress mark appeared on her head. I meant to say it to myself, but I guess I was too loud. "Shonaku, what are you to say about meisters? It isn't nice when you give rude comments like that. All of this is very important to you, even if you're a weapon. Please, just listen to the lesson Shonaku." It was a good thing she ended right there, I thought she was going to start this whole lecture thing! Thank goodness. But hey, what does she know? She knows nothing about what I think. Anyways, like I give a rat's ass about meisters, who needs them? I don't have one and I'm still standing, right? "Look this is all I heard: blah blah blah blah blah blah. Nag nag nag, nag nag nag. Seriously. You've got nothing on weapons, Maka. You're just a know it all wanna be, who thinks meisters got it all." I think that comment should do. I smirked satisfied with my combat. I could see Maka's anger rise. Uh oh, too much? I thought about it. Nah.
Maka slammed her fist on the desk. "Shut up! It's not like you weapons are any better!" I guess Maka said that one so loud that the gang stared at her. I looked at her a little surprised, but I could not take of the smug grin I had knowing that Maka just got herself into trouble. Although, I swear a fork came thrown right between us. I turned to see Professor guy- or what was it again? Franken Stein? Oh yeah, Professor Stein looking in this direction. "Keep t quiet up there, I'm trying to teach a class, can't you see?" he said. I sweat dropped, and noticed that Soul, Tsubaki, and Liz and Patty were looking directly at Maka with faces. Bad faces. Oh yes, this was going to be good...hehehe. "M-Maka," Tsubaku said. "I had no idea you felt that way about weapons.." Maka got out of her angry stage and waved her hands in front of her. "Oh now! It's not like that! I don't know where that came from!" "Since when did you start hating on weapons, Maka?" Soul asked her. Maka pleaded to Soul too. Liz folded her arms, and Patty made a pout face. "Yeah, what did we ever say to you Maka? We didn't say we hate meisters did we?" Liz said to her. Patty added in. "Yeah! Meanie!" Maka only begged more. "No wait! It was an accident I really didn't mean to say that! It was Shonaku, she was the one who started this!" The bell rang and everyone started packing there stuff up. The gang started to leave as Maka still begged to them. "Please you guys, I'm really sorry! Weapons are awesome! They're so cool and all! You guys, please!" They left out the classroom. Maka bent her head down. "Thanks a lot Shonaku..oh man, come on." She grabbed her stuff and left too.
I packed my things up as Crona came up to me, with an unhappy look. "I don't think that was very nice what you did there, Shonaku. You really hurt Maka.." I laughed a little, and turned to him. "Oh, come one. It was just a joke!" Is he serious? No need to take it that hard, hasn't anyone heard of a joke around here? Crona still didn't look happy at all. He got even more upset. "Well, it really wasn't funny. I think you should go say sorry to Maka. Please, Shonaku." Then, I started feeling bad. I never do, as I can see that usually people like my jokes. Or is them throwing their stuff at me, saying they know it's funny? I sighed, and frowned a little. "I'm sorry..I didn't know she'd take it that badly..I don't really know this place very well. I'll say that I'm sorry. But only for your sake, since you insist." Crona's face lightened up a little, he gave a little smile. "Okay. And it's all right. I know you're new here, so things aren't the same as they were. I'm sure you'll enjoy the place." "Yeah.." I said. Crona left the classroom, and I thought about it. This was all new to me, so I guess I had to be more subtle with everyone. Easier said than done though, it seems boring and tedious to do. I guess I'll just have to apologize to Maka, even though it seems pointless when she should've known that it was a joke. But telling her off like that, I haven't made those kind of good comments in a while.
I was about to pick up my books when Black Star jumped onto my desk, and pointed at me. "Hyahaha! Hey Shonaku, I've got news for you!" he yelled at me. I only rolled my eyes. Oh him again? What the hell does he want now?
"What is it?" I said to him. "You told me that I shouldn't underestimate you! Well you know what? You shouldn't underestimate me either! You think you can just easily kick me like that? Think again, Shonaku! I challenge you to a fight! Then we'll see who's the big star around here!" A fight? With this guy? Sounds fun, but he's more of a good than someone I can fight. Or is he? "I wish I could, but I've got to meet up with Crona at the balcony. So I'll see you later little dude." I started towards the stairs, but Black Star jumped down in front of me. He shouted even louder, pointing at my face and said, "Who are you calling little? I'm the great assassin, and I'm not letting some little pipsqueak like you get away with this!" an annoyed face appeared on my face. "And who are you to think to be calling me a fucking pipsqueak!? And that kicking you in the balls shit happened a long fucking time ago! Just let it go, it happened and there's no turning back1 I'm not in the mood to fight so back off, or I'll fucking blast your head, you got that!?" I yelled at him. "Huh, you think you can just say words like that, Shonaku? I'm not leaving this spot until you fight me! We're ending this fair and square!" I had it. I gave him an evil look. It's been hours being stuck in this boring place you call a school, and I didn't want to stay here any longer. And it seemed like he really wasn't going to leave me alone until he got what he wanted. "So you want a fight then huh? Oh I'll give you a fight." Black Star snickered. "Show me what you got!"
Narrator's P.O.V
The next thing you kew, Black Star was thrown out of one of the round windows, and fell on his butt outside the academy. Black Star rubbed his butt in pain. "Awe, fuck I didn't see that coming." Shonaku then jumped out this window, landing on her feet. She formed her hands into bazookas. A few students from inside gathered around to see what was going on. Maka got forgiveness from Tsubaki so they both went out the academy as well. Professor stein followed. Black Star jumped up from the ground, and went into a fighting stance. Both Shonaku and Black Star gave glares. Shonaku bent a little.
"Umm, Tsuabki don't you think you should go with Black Star?" Maka asked her. "No," said Stein. "I think Black Star wants to handle this on his own, and besides it wouldn't be fair with two against one." Maka saw the Professor's point, and only nodded. This is where we'll see Shonaku's real fighting abilities. She looks so serious and focused all of a sudden. Maka thought. The thought of Shonaku having no Soul came into mind again. No matter how hard Maka tried, she couldn't think of an explanation to why she couldn't see it. But Maka decided to try again. She used soul perception, and looked inside Shonaku. Still nothing. Maka worried about this, yet tried to to forget about it. It scared her a bit though, not even Professor Stein could see or figure it out. She had no idea what Shonaku was capable of. She looked as the fight started.
Shonaku was the first one to charge. She planned on making a close, direct hit on Black Star, but Black Star easily fended off that one. Taking Shonaku by surprise, he used his soul wavelength and struck her in the stomach. Shonaku went a few feet, tumbling to the ground. She held her stomach in what little win she felt, and got up. She jumped high in the air and slammed Black Star to the ground with her foot. Black Star fell, grabbed Shonaku's ankle and twisted her around causing her to fall as well. He then got up and used his soul wavelength again. Shonaku smacked Black Star in the face with her bazooka, and kicked him off of her. She flipped backwards to stand up again. Black Star lost balance, and Shonaku found her time to shoot him. Black Star was shot in the face and stomach. He clenched onto his face feeling blood run down from it. He only grinned. Black Star ran towards Shonaku, jumped over her and side kicked her. Shonaku did a cartwheel, regaining her balance. Just then though, Black Star repeatedly struck her in the stomach. Shonaku, once again smacked Black Star, went over to him and blasted him. The blow caused Black Star to fly in the air. Black Star flipped in the air, and struck Shonaku. Shonaku blocked with her bazookas, and jumped back a few feet. It went on like this for a bit, but Shonaku was slowly giving in, becoming breathless and slower. Being more opened and less defensive, Black star only hit her with numerous attacks. "This is taking too long, I think I'm going to use speed star on you!" suddenly, Black Star was in one place then another. Shonaku looked around to see that Black Star disappeared. Then, Black Star camje from behind and punched her. She turned around, and he wasn't there. Black star came from behind and did the same thing. He jumped from one place to another, being everywhere around Shonaku all at once. Shonaku grew angry with fury. That's it, it's time to step up my game. He thinks he can be fast with me? Well, I can do the same. 'Speed of Light'! Black came in front of Shonaku, ready to give her the final blow just as she immediately jumped backwards. Black Star looked over in front of him, and Shonaku came running at an inhuman speed, striking him in the stomach with a blast. Black Star was thrown, though Shonaku ran to him again blasting him. She kicked him down to the ground. Black star wasn't going to give up just yet. He used an ultimate soul wavelength technique that almost finished Shonaku. Shonaku was thrown hard to the ground and didn't get up. Everyone gasped. "I told you to never underestimate the great assassin! For I will surpass God!" Shonaku, still conscious flinched. That move would've killed me if I didn't have this. She clenched onto her necklace. But it isn't over just yet. I'm going to use one move that will definitely end this fight. But that would be cheating wouldn't it? Well there weren't any rules for it, so I'm going to use Black Star's energy against himself. 'Energy Sucker!' Shonaku got up and grabbed ahold of Black star's stomach. She sucked out the energy from him, and it went into her. She used this new energy to punch him hard in the gut. Black Star fell to the ground in shock, and suddenly felt too weak to get up.
The fight was over.
Shonaku said in her head 'Energy Return.' A pink light appeared and Shonaku and went to Black Star. Black Star regained his energy, and slowly got up. He had a face of defeat, but laughed a little. He didn't know how she did it, but he knew that the fight was over. He shook hands with Shonaku. "Huh, you're not so bad after all, Shonaku. Even I, the great assassin didn't see that last move coming. You're pretty good. I like you! How about you and me become best buds huh?" Shonaku smiled. "Yeah, sure! Sounds good to me. You weren't bad yourself Black Star, I almost lost to you actually. I probably shouldn't have underestimated you." Stein came up to the two. "Nice work Shonaku, you did a swell job. Have you trained before? Because no one has really won a fight with Black Star. You're probably one of the first students." "I did practice a lot before, but I can most certainly see why no one won. Well, I got to go, I'll see you guys later!" Shonaku was heading towards the entrance of the building when she saw Maka and Tsubaki. She went up to Maka and called her. "Maka!" Maka turned around to Shonaku, she gave her an upset look. Maka looked away. "Hey don't give me that look! I just wanted to give a crappy apology, okay? I'm sorry that you don't know what a joke is." Maka gave her a really face. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry about what I said back there, and making your friends get upset at you. It was all my fault all right?" Maka didn't say anything. She finally smiled and hugged Shonaku. "You're forgiven. But you need to be taught about how to act less meanly. Your attitude isn't the best you know." Shonaku rolled her eyes. "I know I know. Good luck helping me on that though." The two separated from the hug. Crona came from the halls and to the girls. "S-Shonaku, what happened to you? I was waiting for you..did I hurt you when I told you to apologize to Maka? I'm sorry.." Shonaku giggled and smiled at Crona. She then hugged him tightly. "There's nothing to be sorry about, Crona! I was only battling against Black Star. It's over now, but it's too late to talk now. I have to go home." "So soon?" Maka asked. "Yeah, there's some things that I have to do at home." Shonaku released the hug.
"Okay, Shonaku." Maka said. "That's okay Shonaku." Crona said. Shonaku said goodbye to everyone and left home. The students that gathered separated, going back to there own businesses. The three left along with Black Star. Stein went into the DWMA, and into his classroom. A student went up to Professor Stein. "Professor Stein, Lord Death wants to see you in the Death room." Stein got up from his chair. "Okay, thank you." he said. the kid walked away and said you're welcome. Stein went into the Death room, and was greeted by Lord Death. "Why hello there, Stein! How's it going?" "Fine, thank you. You called me?" Stein asked. "Oh, yes yes!" Lord death said. "I wanted to know how that new student was doing!"
"You mean Shonaku? She's doing fine, sir. She actually just won a fight between her and Black Star just now. She's not that bad of a kid."
"Right, right. Say, what was her last name again?"
"Miwasaki, sir." Stein told him.
"Hmm.." Lord Death thought. He kept silent, thinking about something.
"Something the matter, Lord Death?" stein asked him. "Well.." Lord Death hesitated. "I feel that I've heard that last name before..I can't remember where though. Hmm..Stein?"
"Yes Lord Death?"
"Could you please go and look at the lost case files, under the letter M? I think there was something about a mission there. Miwasaki should be there." Stein looked at Lord Death puzzled. "yes, I will." "One more thing, Stein." Lord Death said to Professor Stein. "Have you noticed anything odd about Shonaku?" Stein thought about it. He remembered about The first time with Shonaku and couldn't sense her soul to be anywhere. He had always wondered why, but could never find a way. He had thoughts about dissecting Shonaku, to see what was in her. Was she a zombie? No that couldn't be it. What was she exactly? That was Stein's true question. "There are a couple of things." Stein finally said. Lord Death tilted his head in curiosity. "Oh? Like what?"
"Well during the fight, Black Star used a final blow that I thought would defeat Shonaku. But she got up, and finished him somehow. Then it looked like she transferred something to Black Star that made him get up again. And one thing that confuses me the most is that.." Stein paused. "Hm?" Stein sighed. "When I had her in my classroom, I tried to look for her soul. But..it wasn't there.." "What do you mean by that Stein?" asked Lord Death asked, he started to sounds a little concerned. "Her body, it was hollow..there was no soul there. Nothing." Lord Death was a bit surprised about this. "Why do you think so Stein? Why doesn't she have a soul?" Stein looked up to him. "I don't know, Lord Death. But I wonder, how does she live then? Something I'll have to research about."
"Well this seems a little suspicious if you ask me. I think I'd like for you to keep a close eye on her, Stein." Stein nodded at Lord Death. "Yes sir. I'll go look at the files tomorrow though, there's some other work I need to work on tonight." "That's fine. That's all I wanted to ask. Thank you, stein. You have a goodnight!" "You're welcome Lord Death. You have a good one too." Stein left the room, as Lord Death was alone. Confused now about Shonaku. That night was left off with confusion, for some. But really, what was Shonaku, and how did she live without a soul?
But really, what was Shonaku, and how did she live without a soul?
