I do not own Soul Eater or The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide is Press Coverage. They belong to their respective owners.

But I do own (the slightly creepy) Desmond Flint and Rain.

Soul rolled out of bed like every morning to find Maka making breakfast for the two of them. Soul sat down at a table and Maka placed two plates down and sat with him. Blair strolled out of nowhere and asked for a bowl of milk, which Maka supplied. The three enjoyed their breakfast in silence until Soul spoke up. "There is something not right with Desmond. And Rain for that matter," he said while stuffing his face like it was normal everyday conversation to tell your meister that there is something wrong with her best friend.

Maka stopped eating. "What do you mean, 'something not right'?" she asked.

Soul shrugged. "I just get a weird vibe from both of them. Is there a chance that she's a witch and he's under her control?" he asked.

"No. There isn't a chance in the world that she is a witch," Maka said sternly while glaring at Soul. Then her gaze softened as she looked down at her half eaten pancakes on her plate, "She's probably just hiding something about her mom, or what happened since I've seen her. Yeah, that's it."

The three just continued their breakfast until Blair spoke up. "Her partner knows I'm not a normal cat. Either he's really smart, or there is something not right with him."

"That's Rain. Desmond couldn't tell that you weren't a normal cat." Maka put down her fork and stood up. "Let's go Soul, we're going to be late for school."

Soul shrugged and stood up as well.

Desmond stood on a step in front of Shibusen for the second time. She was wearing the same maroon jacket with faux fur hood, black leggings that came half way down her shins and the same necklace, along with earrings that were silver dragonheads with blue gems in the front and silver dragon tails in the back. She took one hand out of her pocket and adjusted her goggles, then put it back in her pocket. Rain stood on the ground behind her. He was wearing a dark gray long sleeve dress shirt with a crimson short sleeve shirt over it, black cargo shorts, black converse tennis shoes, a black leather belt, and black biker gloves. His hands were also in his pockets. The duo was standing outside talking over something before classes started.

As kids walked passed them, they could hear whispers about the "scary new kids" and what not. Desmond's face became more angered and her body tensed up more and more with each whisper she heard. Rain stepped up to the step Desmond was on and patted her on the shoulder. "Lets go in and meet Maka's friends," he said before she hurt someone.

Desmond nodded her head and walked in beside Rain as she began to relax. At least Maka and Soul don't think I'm scary, she thought. She tried to look as approachable as she could but couldn't bring herself to smile. Not yet at least.

Walking through the halls the two found Maka and Soul talking to six other kids. Desmond recognized one of them right off the bat. Oh shit. That's the kid that I set on fire yesterday. He's gonna be pissed, she thought. She considered turning around and walking away like she was never there but her plan was foiled. "Desmond! Rain! Come here I want you guys to meet some people!" Maka called the two over to her group of friends. Desmond and Rain walked over and said hi to Maka and Soul.

When Liz, Patty, and Kid thought the girl's voice was familiar the three looked up. To Kid's displeasure, it was the girl that set his hair on fire the day before.

"Guys this is-" Maka started.

"I know who she is! Stay away from me!" Kid shrieked cutting off Maka as he backed away from her.

Desmond looked at him. "It was a fluke. Now get your panties out of a knot princess and let Maka talk damn it," she spat with venom in her voice.

Soul leaned over to Maka to whisper something in her ear, "See, something not right."

"Shut up," Maka whispered back.

"Well, this is Desmond and Rain," Maka continued. "Desmond, Rain, this is Black Star, Tsubaki, Crona, Liz, Patty, and Kid."

"I'm sorry but," Liz started. "Your name is Desmond?" she asked pointing at the black haired girl. She nodded. "Isn't Desmond a boy's name?"

She shrugged. "Its different. I'm okay with having a boys name," she simply stated.

"HEY!" Black Star yelled as he bounced up to Rain. "You're tall. Rain isn't a name rain is a thing. I'm Black Star, and I'm God. No I'm better than God. I will surpass God one day! YA-HOO!"

Rain wanted to punch this little brat in the face. "I'm tall because I have tall parents, Rain is my name; get over it, and judging on our acceptance battle yesterday Kid could beat your ass in five seconds," Rain said nonchalantly.

Desmond bit her lower lip to keep from laughing. Everyone else however didn't try to restrain his or her laughter. Desmond elbowed her partner trying to get him to behave like the Rain Maka and Soul met the day before, not the Rain she met two years ago. Rain looked down and met Desmond's eyes and understood.

"OH YEAH?" Black Star yelled. "Lets see about that! You and her against me and Tsubaki!" he challenged.

"Thanks but we'll have to pass," Desmond said flatly.

"Why? Chicken?" Black Star asked getting in her face. They were about the same height so they met almost exactly eye to eye.

Rain shifted to attack Black Star for getting that close to Desmond but she held out her hand to keep him back. "Because we just met you and I don't find it very respectful to fight a new friend seconds after meeting them. Also it's our first day and we would like to make a good first impression. He's sorry about what he said, he didn't mean it, right?" Desmond said in her same flat tone looking up at Rain.

"Yeah. Right. Sorry Black Star," Rain lied to support Desmond.

She looked back at Black Star, the blank expression she had when she met him replaced by a kinder face. "So what do you say? Start fresh?" she asked holding out her right hand for a handshake. She had silver ring on her ring finger and a white band with flowers on her thumb. As Black Star shook her hand Kid saw her hand and mumbled, "disgusting."

She turned to Maka. " These are some great friends Maka," she said sarcastically.

"No he means that since your rings aren't symmetrical on your hands are 'disgusting'," Liz tried to explain.

Desmond chuckled slightly. "These are some great friends Maka," she said seriously this time. Then she took her left hand out of her pocket and held it in front of her face next to her right hand and asked, "So this is like revolting to him." She had no rings on her left hand.

Kid's jaw dropped. "No, no, no," he said as he walked over to her. He took both rings off her right hand and put one on her left middle finger and one on her right middle finger. He took a second and looked at his work. It still annoyed him that one was silver and one was white with flowers. "That will do for now," he muttered and nodded his head. As he turned around to go back to where he was she took the rings off her fingers and put them back to the way they were.

Maka smiled. She still won't take crap from anyone, she thought.

The group of kids walked to class together, unaware of what the introduction that just occurred would lead to later on in their lives.

I believe
This may call for a proper introduction well,
Don't you see?
I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue…
