I do not own Soul Eater or Arrow. They belong to their respective owners.
Desmond and Rain are mine. I claim them. =]
The two meisters had to battle against the traffic to make it to the area of the explosion. Everyone was running away, screaming, causing a scene. As Black Star ran he looked over to the other side of the street. "Desmond!" he called over the screams of the people running away. "Rain and Tsubaki are on their way!"
The two turned a corner. "What?" Desmond yelled back to him.
"They're near by!" Black Star told her.
"Then shouldn't we-"
"No! Just trust me on this! They'll meet us there!"
Tsubaki and Rain were also battle the traffic of innocent pedestrians running away. "Where in Shinigami-sama's name are they?" Rain yelled out of frustration.
"We'll find them. We just have to get there. They'll meet us there," Tsubaki said reassuringly.
Rain looked at the black haired girl next to him, "How do you know?"
"Just trust me on this," she said smiling at him.
"Gogyou The Bomber!" Desmond yelled as she got to the scene of the bombing. Gogyou stood up and turned towards Desmond. His face was scared from past explosions gone wrong, his eyebrows were singed off and most of his flaming red hair was as well. He wore a black long sleeve shirt with black pants and a black beanie to hide is red hair to no avail. There was a man standing next to him though, someone that Desmond didn't think was on the list Shinigami-sama gave her. Who is he? A hostage? An accomplice? Maybe he is on the list and I just don't know who he is, Desmond thought. While Desmond was lost in her thoughts, she failed to realize Gogyou coming towards her. As Desmond came back to reality she dodged the man by a hair. "So you want some hand to hand combat huh? Well bring it bitch!" Desmond yelled as he charged at her again.
Desmond fought Gogyou for a few minutes, taking some punches, dodging some, missing a few sings, and delivering his punches right back to him. Desmond started to get tired after five minutes though. I haven't done this in two years. I'm so out of it! Desmond thought mentally smacking herself for not staying as sharp as often as she would have liked.
At a moment of rest for the two Desmond looked over to the man. He was bound and gagged and had something blinking attached to the zip-ties that held his hands together. He attached a bomb to his hostage! Desmond thought in realization.
Gogyou took out a switchblade and started to charge towards Desmond once again. She turned around to see the man five feet away and quickly approaching. She didn't know what to do, so she shielded her face by putting her arms up and cringing back, closing her eyes.
"You scum!"
Desmond opened her eyes to see Black Star standing in front of her as Gogyou was in striking distance. "BLACK STAR BIG WAVE!" he yelled as he hit Gogyou with his soul wavelength. The bomber went flying backwards and landed with a thud. Black Star turned around to Desmond, "Why didn't you use your wavelength? That's how you set Kid's hair on fire isn't it?"
Gogyou started to get up. "I'll explain later!" Desmond said as she turned him back around and took a fighting stance next to him, ready to attack again.
"Desmond!"
"Black Star!"
Black Star turned around, happy to see the weapons finally coming. "It's about freakin time!" Desmond yelled as she jumped to dodge Gogyou's attack. She placed a hand on his head a flipped over him. When she landed she held out her hand as Rain transformed into his demon yumi form.
Desmond prepared to pull an arrow on Gogyou when he turned around, "Uh, uh, uh. I wouldn't kill me just yet if I were you," he said. His voice sent a chill down Desmond's spine. Then he took out a little black box with a button on it. "If you attack, I'll kill him," he said menacingly. As he drew his hand closer and closer to the button, Rain transformed back into a person and put his hands by his head.
"Look, we're not attacking. You don't need to kill him. It's okay," Rain said trying to reason with him.
"Drop you weapon," Gogyou told Rain.
"Weapon? What weapon?" Desmond said confused.
Without saying anything Rain took a switchblade out of his pocket and dropped it on the ground by his feet. "Okay? You don't have to kill him now," Rain said calmly.
"No, I didn't have to kill anyone. Doesn't mean I didn't. You must have made kills, being students from Shibusen. Don't you love it? The rush you get watching them fall! The feeling once you know they're dead! It can't be toped by anything!" he yelled as he went to press the button again.
"No!" Desmond yelled as he pressed the button. Rain dove to protect Desmond from the blast knocking her over in the process. After the blast he looked up, moving off of Desmond. "That wasn't as close as it should have been," Rain stated looking over in the hostage's direction. What he found was Black Star undoing the zip-ties that bound his feet and hands. "Of course I saved his life! I am the Great Black Star after all!" Black Star cheered.
"Good job Black Star!" Tsubaki cheered from her weapon form.
As Rain stood up and stepped away from Desmond Gogyou came from nowhere and grabbed a handful of her long hair and pulled her off the ground, holding his blade to her neck. "Move and die!" he yelled.
"Dez! No!" Rain yelled ready to attack, but didn't, in fear of Desmond dying because of him.
Desmond looked at Rain silently. Fear on her face. Then she looked at Black Star holding Tsubaki. They feared her the most. She swallowed hard. Don't do anything stupid Black Star, please!
All Black Star did was stand in his place, frozen, not knowing what to do. He saw her as the only other person to take the time to hang out with him and try to understand and put up with him other than Tsubaki.
Then she looked down and saw that lying by her feet was Rain's switchblade.
Rain saw what she was doing and realized what she was thinking. "What do you want?" he asked to keep Gogyou distracted.
"What do I want? I want to be able to kill too!" he yelled.
Desmond got the blade in her hand.
"I want to be able to do what you all are allowed to do! I want the rush I want the feeling! Just turn a blind eye and I'll start my new freedom with her!" Gogyou pulled the knife away from Desmond's neck to strike her in the chest. In a quick motion, she opened up Rain's knife and cut her hair to free herself from his grasp. She crawled away from him quickly before he could grab her again.
Rain helped her up and transformed into his weapon form once again. In one swift motion, Desmond steadied the yumi, took aim and fired an arrow that Rain helped her create with her wavelength.
It was over in a flash and Black Star couldn't believe her accuracy. Desmond loosened her grip on Rain as he turned back into his human form. Tsubaki did the same as the two ran over to their friends.
"Oh my gosh, Desmond are you okay?" Tsubaki asked.
Desmond smiled, "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
Rain looked at his meister. "Maybe because a psychopath just held a knife to your throat and almost killed you!" he practically shrieked.
Desmond forced a laugh. "But he didn't," was all she had to say.
"Hey!" Black Star put a hand on her shoulder. "Do not take the spotlight from me at my moment of greatness in a battle again!" he warned.
She laughed genuinely this time. "I wouldn't dream of it Star!"
Rain took the soul and swallowed it.
The four started walking back to the house they were staying in when Rain tugged on a piece of Desmond's hair, "You need to get it evened out. Where he didn't grab is still the original length."
"Tomorrow. Promise," Desmond said smiling. "So what's in the bag? A gift for your love?"
"Oh what's this? Rain has a love?" Black Star asked entering their conversation.
"No. I don't," Rain said glaring at Black Star and Desmond. The two dropped the topic immediately.
After a moment of silence Tsubaki looked at Desmond. "That was amazing how you took aim and shot an arrow within seconds," she complemented.
The four talked all the way back to the house.
The next day Desmond got her hair trimmed to about her chin. Over the course of the next few days Desmond and Rain got all of the souls they were sent to get, Black Star and Tsubaki however didn't, as usual.
The one thing that Desmond dreaded the most though, was when she got back to Death City.
I feel the breeze Your feathers of an arrow
I'm in my yard
Your feathers of an arrow
I take my aim
You feel me coming close
I take my aim
So you feel me coming close…
Can I just say that I was listening to Tegan and Sara and this is the first track on the CD I was listening to and as soon as I heard the chorus (the part that I used at the end) I was like "OMFG this is sooo Desmond and Rain! He's a freakin yumi for crying out loud!" haha
Also I'm starting school soon and it's gonna be hectic and stressful up the wa-zoo so the updates may not be very frequent.
Review or Gogyou will find you… jk he's dead… and not real…
