Chapter 7
Kid
I slump on my bed, not noticing what time it is. Surely time for school. But I don't get up. Two silent tears slip down my cheeks, the trail clearly visible in the mirror beside my bed. Why am I crying? I think of a bunch or different types of why.
"Why, cur, por què, hoekom, pse, ինչու, niyə, zergatik, чаму, কেন, защо, per què, 为什么, 為什麼, zašto, proč, hvorfor, waarom, kial, miks, bakit, miksi, pourquoi, por que, რატომ, warum, γιατί, શા માટે, poukisa, क्यों, miért, hvers vegna, mengapa, cén fáth, perché, 理由, ಏಕೆ, 이유, ເປັນຫຍັງ, kāpēc, kodėl, зошто, mengapa, għaliex, Hvorfor, dlaczego, por que, de ce, почему, зашто, prečo, zakaj, por qué, kwa nini, Varför, ஏன், ఎందుకు, ทำไม, neden, чому, tại sao, pam," I say, in practically one breath.
A/N: Sorry if I got any of the languages wrong. I used Google Translate, so they might not be accurate. TTnTT.
I groan, and roll over, checking the clock. It's seven right now. I sigh, not even thinking of how asymmetrical of a time for me to wake up. I prop myself up on the pillows, bring my knees up to my face, and bury my hands into them. I have a killer headache.
(A/N: No pun intended! XD!)
I start rubbing my temples, when I sense another presence entering the house. I search their soul. Surprisingly, it's Soul.
"I'm over here," I call. His Soul shows relief. I sense it walking toward the doorway of my room. Then, he's standing there. He walks over to my bed.
"Hey, Kid. Why weren't you in class today?" His voice was strange. He came over and sat on my bed.
"Um…" I say. I don't want to say why. He should know. He stares at me with a really weird look. I shift my covers and fidget a little away from him. Then I realize my mistake. I just ruined the symmetry! How could I? In that shocked second, Soul's Soul changes. No! It's that of a demon!
"You want to get the girl back, don't you? Well, I'll help you," it says in a raspy voice. Then, when I open my mouth to argue, the demon swoops down on me and… And… Seems to kiss me? No, that's not right. I can feel something going down my throat. I can't breathe, but I see the demon disappearing in my mouth in a cloud of black smoke. I sit bolt upright. I shake my head. It was a dream. I know it never happened. My stomach rumbled. I groaned, for the pain was intense. My eyes widened. I screamed, like I have never screamed before. My body felt like it was being twisted, squished, and stretched. My eyes rolled up into the back of my head, and I disappeared into the blackness of my mind, feeling my soul being knocked in there with me.
I could still see. No, wait. I was seeing out of another person, another thing. Whatever it was looked down, and I saw my own hands. More from a window. A giant hand. No, it was normal sized, but it seemed big. I tried to make my body look up, at the mirror near my bed, but… Nothing. I saw myself walk towards the closet, and the Thing, I had decided to call it, came over to my bed, and laid some… No! They're asymmetrical clothes! One of the only ones I own. Black jeans with a hole in one side, a blood red T-shirt, and a jeans jacket. He puts on the only pair of Converse shoes I own- black with red laces- and then puts on the rest. I notice the Thing has given me more chest muscle than before, and I'm about six- foot now. He messes up my hair, gives a crooked grin in the mirror, and walks out the door. I'm forced to follow. He summons Beelzebub, and we both head off to the school.
"Wow!"
"He's really cute!"
"Should I ask him?"
"He looked at me!"
Those words followed us through the hallways that morning, and I didn't have time to blush, for I was trying to regain control constantly. No luck. We entered class, and much to my surprise, the Thing was an extremely good student, almost better than Maka… No. No one was better than Maka at school, absolutely no one. As the class dragged by, and while the Thing was taking notes, I slid down, entering myself through my mouth. My- no, sorry, the Thing's eyes widened, and I felt myself regain control.
"H-h-elp-p," I rasped, raising my hand, which was a rather difficult task, since the Thing was fighting back. My hand trembled, and I pushed my chair back, twitching all the way. I stood up, abruptly, and started twitching again. I started to tremble, then all the sudden it stopped. I stood, rooted to the spot, sensing everyone staring at me. I screamed, a wall of black smoke erupting up around me, in a swirling circle. All the sudden, I was facing the Thing, in its true form. A black, disgruntled creature with red eyes.
"You have chosen to fight me rather than letting go? Foolish child. I will kill you!" it screamed, lunging at me. I stood my ground. I jumped up. He missed me, and got confused, wondering where I was. I started to fall, and without a sound, I landed on his back. I drove my fist into the small of its back, paralyzing it. I jumped down, and rolled it over. I jumped up again, and drove my feet into his solar plexus. Well, I almost did. Before it happened, however, I blacked out.
Katsumi: Wow! Really exciting, huh? I'm sorry if last chapter was short (did I say that already?). This is kind of a weird chapter, but then again, Soul Eater is kind of weird. Cliff hanger! What will happen to kid? No spoilers! I gotta go, so Katsumi, out!
