~~~8* Chapter 2 *8~~~
Death the Kid
There's actually another reason I want to get stronger, besides making the Milky Way symmetrical.
…
Even though that would be nice, having all those stars and unidentified planets lined up together in perfect order as if they know beauty as I do...
But that's not the point.
When I was about... 8..., I was usually stuck at home. I was home-schooled by my dad, while he told me everything I needed to know by the age of 7. Father was usually at the DWMA by this time, and that very day was one of the few times I came out of Gallows Manor. I was allowed out, I could do anything I wanted except make any public disturbances or go outside Death City.
But I normally stayed inside because it was my sanctuary. Don't get me wrong, I loved the sights and smells outside Gallows Manor, but my home was more familiar to me, it was fitted to everything I was taught.
"Everything must be balanced, or else it won't work. We need to balance Good and Evil so that there can be peace,"
What other thing could be more balanced than symmetry? That was the concept I grew up with.
Anyways, As I went out, smelling the scent of florists, bakeries, and restaurants, and the morbid reek of Chupa-Cabras... All that alcohol... Eck. Oh well...
I saw a little girl holding a bunny. She had pretty black hair with dark brown eyes and looked about my age. The bunny was white with blue eyes. The two looked pretty adorable together, considering that they cuddled each other as if they were newly-weds.
Suddenly, this boy, looking at him at first glance, he'd probably be about 15, came. But there was something about him I felt. It made me feel scared at that time.
Little did I know that was called sensing souls, I wasn't old enough to be taught expert shinigami stuff.
He came closer to the girl with each step.
Closer
Closer
Closer
BAM
The kishin-egged soul threw down the bunny right from the girl's hands. I could hear her screaming. I ran to help her, but there was nothing I could do.
I think I just made it worse.
The bunny was thrown down, I think I heard a bunch of bones crack, but at the time I didn't see it's eyes glaze like most organisms did when they died. It's eyes widened. I think I heard an explosion going inside the poor creature. You know how when something slashes you so fast, it takes a few moments for your body to react, then your cut showers blood? A few seconds after, it exploded, splattering blood all over us three. The girl was crying and screaming for help.
The kishin raised it's claws. I tried to jump in front of her or at least push her out of the way. But unfortunately, I had bad timing. The only evidence of her on Earth was a messed up corpse with three slash marks all over her body.
And I was the only one left for him. I'm pretty sure it saw me as a tasty shinigami souled dessert.
I tried to fight it with the stances father showed me, but I was only one fourth the size of the thing.
I got to spar it for about one minute before it knocked me unconscious. I would be dead if it weren't for a weapon-meister team saving my butt.
I blame myself to this day that if it weren't for me getting stronger, the bunny wouldn't have imploded so fatally like that and that the girl would probably still be alive. And yes. I was very unsociable back then O_O. I never look at bunnies the same way again either, because I don't think you would either after watching an imploding bunny. It was freaky and gory. Not to mention unsymmetrical... The corpses I mean.

After we ate our food, eventually Eruki went away to do "stuff". So that left me, Kuromi, and Tsuki.
Tsuki dragged us to the back of the building, where she found the "Kitty Panda" still alive.
"It's a miracle from God! Sammy's still alive!" She said gazing at it.
"I think you should back away for a minute," We all turned around to see Stein with a weird remote control.
"Three...Two... One..."
BAM
…...
Blood and guts exploded right in front of our eyes.
Let's just say seeing this type of thing apparently wasn't very healthy for people with Tsuki's type of logic.
I don't think it was healthy for mine either.
I also think everyone around was screaming including me and Kuromi.
Yup.

During class, everyone was talking about some exploding panda.
I don't know where anybody got that, but I saw Stein smiling like he saw angels before lunch ended.
We had P.E. with Sid as usual.
And we did the usual thing.
Sparring, which Patty beat Black Star's butt... Again...
Laps, Stretching, and what you do in P.E. pretty much.
After school, Soul and I went to the mission board so we could finish a mission. So far we had 98 souls. I'm so happy we were almost done with our soul-hunting! I could soon make Soul a death scythe that surpassed my father.
We chose a mission to hunt a kishin threatening a city in California.
"Sacramento, California. The capitol!" I said smiling.
"That's stupid-" Soul was laying in a puddle of blood while I put my book away.
"Come on, let's go"
"Ooowwwww..."
~~~8* Chapter 2 *8~~~
*In Sacramento*
"Were here." Soul said while abruptly stopping his motor-bike.
Obviously we were at the right place, because a hoard of people came running at us screaming. I put on what Soul and Black Star called my "Poker Face" and wielded Soul as a scythe.
"Kishin-egg, Headless-Horseman... Your days of striking victims and consuming souls are over." I said glaring at him.
"Your soul is mine."
~~~8* Chapter 2 *8~~~
I jumped from the ground carefully holding Soul while using my best aim to try to slash the Pumpkin-head in half.
He sliced his claws on my leg and I had to yelp in pain. "Ghaaah!" I growled in frustration after fighting him for 15 minutes.
"Maka... I think he's too powerful to fight him regularly" Soul advised me as I swiped at him with the scythe blade.
"Hmm... Your right," I dodged his attacks, occasionally getting scratched.
"SOUL RESONANCE!" We shouted at the top of our lungs.
"Witch Hunter!" I felt Soul's power against me as I ran towards the Headless-Horseman.
"*Insert Maka's screaming/Battle-cry here!*" I yelled as I sprinted across the suburban streets. "DIE HEADLESS-HORSEMAN!"
Yet another kishin egg retrieved after defeating Asura. I clasped the floating soul while smiling. I turned to Soul.
"I thought we might not get it, it was harder to fetch than the other souls we got... but... here it is!"
"Maka, we've defeated the frikin' kishin itself! How do you think we would miss this tiny little fraction? That would be so uncool of us. Especially for you. But I would be kinda shunned too..."
I looked back at the floating ruby orb and grinned wider. "I guess your right... Bon' Appetite!" I exclaimed, throwing the ball at Soul, who caught it with his mouth and swallowed.

(A/N:) YAY! IT'S FINALLY OVERWITH! I am SO sorry to make you guys wait that long for this chapter! Each day, even if OwlCookies didn't notice, I've been feeling so guilty for not posting this! Even though these were obstacles, and Psychiatry is NOT an excuse. I was going to ramble on about that but that was only for an hour. I am SOOO SORRYY!
Soul: Okay! We heard you! Now shut up, that's not cool.
Appleblx: SOWWYY! I feel like a terrible person... who... *tries to think of something better* uhh... umm... ghuuuu... Deserves to die...
Kid: That's my line.
Appleblx: Exactly my point. Oh! I have an excuse! I was perfecting the story as I went to make sure there were no mistakes! I mean... Fan-fiction readers hate grammar mistakes, right? Well, whenever I found a place as I wrote that needed a comma or a spell-check, I had to fix it!
OwlCookies: Oh WOW. You are SOO OCD
Appleblx: I bet your jealous!
OwlCookies: No! Why would I be jealous?
Appleblx: Because you appreciate everything about your friend?
OwlCookies: *Head-palm*
Appleblx: And now, I shall tell you what an OAC is!
OwlCookies: YESS! What is an OAC?
Appleblx: Original ANIMAL Character
OwlCookies: O_O
Maka: Thanks for reading! Bye! *ends chapter before Appleblx can respond*
