Sorry! I know I'm way behind on updating all of my stories, so I'm going to do that this weekend...if I have time ):. They've been piling projects and homework on us recently, so I've been busy. Still haven't seen the end of Soul Eater...I watched part of it though...sigh

Blair The Cat walked down the dark alleyways of Death City. She was meowing a soft tune to herself quietly, as she made her way to the newly reconstructed fish bar that she fancied, happy as a (if you'll forgive the pun) clam.
She closed her eyes in contentment, smelling the mouth watering fish cooking a few blocks away. She sighed quietly.
"Come out Siegfried." She meowed, eyes not opening.
The tall man stepped from the shadows, previously invisible to the human eye. Thankfully, Blair's eyes were not always human.
"It's been a long time my dear Blair." Siegfried chuckled, leaning against the wall.
Blair opened her eyes, pupils narrowing to slits. She glanced at Siegfried out of the corner of a catty eye. Her expression was not amused.
"I assumed we were done."
"Oh come now." Siegfried laughed, "You didn't think you could get rid of your doting husband that easily did you?"
" I'm afraid that, while patrols are still searching, we haven't found anyone remotely close to your description." Azusa's cold, logical voice echoed down the hallway as Maka and Soul groaned in disappointment.
The sniper rifle left as quickly as she came, and Soul and Maka continued down the hall towards the notice board.
"I really shouldn't be bothering anyone..." Maka said, eyes cast downward as she walked next to Soul.
"Hey, don't turn into Crona now, you did the right thing by reporting it. For all we know, this guy could be amassing the forces of Arachnophobia or some other huge enemy for a large scale invasion." Soul said, grinning at her.
"Don't even JOKE about that."
Blair hissed slightly at the huge man. "The divorce was final Siegfried."
He frowned, laughter disappearing. "What divorce? If I remember correctly, you fleeing me and our "friends" doesn't count."
"I am NOT going back. NEVER again." Blair said, switching into her human form in a flash of light, raising a hand in defence.
Siegfried snorted, and covered his eyes with his hand, tilting his head back to the night sky.
His voice was not laughing.
"Do you really think you can beat me with those petty tricks you put on display here? I know you can do much better than pumpkin-bomb magic, I've seen you level buildings with a clap of your hands. What changed Blair? What happened to the woman I married?" He pursed his lips in a mock pout.
"She found something to live for."
"Oh? And what would that be? Your work, as a toy for men? Maybe it's love, like the kind you claim you posses for ALL the fish sellers in town. Or maybe..." Siegfried chuckled once more, looking Blair straight in the eye. "...Maybe it's this "family" you've found here?"
"SHUT UP!" Blair yelled, orange light flashing from her hands as she pressed them out in front of her.
A huge plume of fire exploded out of the alley, rushing like a suddenly released tide.
Blair wasn't done yet though. She sent a firecracker of explosions towards Siegfried, engulfing the huge man in a wave of fire. Smoke filled every inch of air around them, and Blair smirked.
"Is that all?"
A hand wrapped itself around Blair's neck and slammed her into the alley wall. The streets outside the alley were, luckily, deserted before Blair started firing off bombs, but the smoke started to attract attention. Shouts echoed outside the alley as Blair struggled to breath against her husband's hand.
he leaned in to her ear and whispered in her ear.
"You don't have to chose right now, my sweet, but, know that if you take too long, or if your answer is...unsatisfactory, Lady Noir has given me full authority to complete my missions through any means necessary. Both of them."
No, they can't still be after... Blair's eyes widened at the thought, and she struggled against her husband's grip.
"Good bye my lovely Flare." Siegfried chuckled, using her nickname.
When the smoke cleared, he was gone. Blair struggled to her feet, and limped to the end of the alley.
I have to warn Maka!
"I now decree that the witch, Angela Leon, is hereby under the protection of the Shibusen, and that she will not be hunted, so long as she uses her magic for the good of the people, and the good of the world." Shinigami-Sama's rough voice finished the speech, before it quickly changed into its ordinary childish form.
"Not that we could kill such a CUTE witch anyhow!" He gushed as he held up Angela in his palm. She looked at him, with his friendly mask and comically pointed robes, before turning to Mifune and saying three words in the form of a question.
"THIS is DEATH?" She said, looking from the amazingly funny-looking Shinigami to her guardian.
Mifune nodded.
"Oh." Angela said, before she laughed at/along with Death himself.
Black Star breathed a sigh of relief. At least they get along...
Black Star had been fighting for Angela and Mifunes protection by Shibusen for the past few months. Death hadn't minded, saying something along the lines of "We already have a demon sword, and unfriendly witches crawling out of the woodwork! Having them on our side might actually help!"
Unfortunately, it came down to popular demand, and after the Medusa incident, there wasn't many witch-friendly folk left in Death City.
But, they had won, though some of their means had been...questionable...it was all for the greater good.
Tsubaki joined Black Star outside the Death Chamber, and was overjoyed at the news. They walked towards the billboard with the two new members of the DWMA in tow. There, Soul and Maka were scanning the board, which was newly symmetrised thanks to Death the Kid.
Then all heads turned as a loud sound was heard at the end of the hall.
Sorry about the Cliffhanger! Was it a could chapter though? Also, I know that Mifune dies in the manga, but lives in the anime, so, I decided to go with the anime. I mean, what fun would this be without a CUTE Angela...she's adorable!
