Chapter 4

Reflections

By Yoru-101

Grumpy, Liz woke up and tired.

However, today they would find out what kind of weapon Toki was. At least, that was what she hoped. Deep down Liz secretly wanted her to be a gun, but she knew that the chances were slim. Liz sighed sleepily. Couldn't hurt to dream, could it?

As she walked down the stairs, she paused, noticing Toki and Kid posing in front of a mirror. She shrugged it off. It was too early and she'd seen weirder things in the Death Mansion. As she continued on, a creak in the floor boards caused her to give away her location to Toki and Kid.

Toki glanced in Liz's direction and smiled.

"Good morning Liz." She said happily.

"G'morning" was Liz's muffled reply.

Liz made her way to the kitchen where she lay out two bowls of cereal. One for herself and one for Patty. The younger Thompson would destroy the entire kitchen herself trying to find the cereal in her sleepy state, so Liz did it out of convenience's sake. Liz peeked out of the kitchen.

"You want anything Toki?"

"Yes please, anything's fine" came the reply.

Liz nodded, and made her way to the fridge. She reached in to search for some food, but with Kid being a shinigami and such, he didn't need all that much.

"He could at least go grocery shopping or something." Liz grumbled. " There are other people in this house, you know"

She grabbed some eggs from the fridge and quickly made some omelettes. Liz crossed her fingers and hoped the eggs weren't expired.

After a while, Toki smelled something wonderful coming from the kitchen. She couldn't remember the last time she ate, but then again, it wasn't as if she could. Toki stopped her posing, and almost hypnotically made her way to the table. Her stomach growled noisily. The second she sat down, Liz appeared with plates in hand followed by Patty, who had seemingly arrived out of nowhere.

Toki's brows furrowed. When did Patty wake up? She wondered. Toki shook her head and smiled. She must have been having too much fun posing in the mirror with Kid.

Liz smiled. Toki was definitely hungry. Her mouth was practically drooling at the sight of food.

"Eat up!" Liz said cheerily.

"We've got a lot to do today." Patty chimed in.

Toki grinned and nodded.

"Bon Appetit!" Liz announced, and breakfast began.

Liz looked around the table. Patty was stuffing her face, as per usual. Kid was trying to cut his omelette in a symmetrical way, (and finding it very frustrating). Toki was eating properly, but at the same time hurriedly. Liz smiled and went back to her own food.

Breakfast went by fast, probably because everyone eating was too hungry to savor it. But Liz didn't mind. So long as they enjoyed it and got on with their day.

Kid offered to do the dishes; only because he liked organizing the plates in their precise symmetrical order. Liz shrugged, she was in no place to say no to free labor.

Meanwhile, Patty led Toki outside where they breathed the fresh morning air and soaked in the first sunlight that Toki could remember.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was alive and grinning, and he was laughing his hearty laugh, causing rays of sunlight to stream everywhere. They were all surrounded by the warming sounds of the city, which were all very rudely interrupted by the obnoxious hollering of a blue haired idiot…followed by a very worried looking black haired woman.

"Oi!Oi!Oi!Oi! Why didn't anyone tell me! Black*Star, that we had a new arrival!" the youth who announced himself as Black*Star hollered.

"Wait up Black*Star! You're being too loud! You'll wake up everyone up!" the pony tail-lady scolded. "What have I told you about going ahead of me?"

"But Tsubaki…" Black*Star started to whine.

"No buts." Said the woman known as Tsubaki in a motherly scolding tone.

"We have to wait for Ki-" she stopped, having spotted Toki. Tsubaki smiled warmingly and waved.

"Hello" she said politely, "you must be the new arrival."

Tsubaki bowed and smiled. Toki felt the instinctive reaction to do the same.

"I am Toki" she said in the same tone as Tsubaki. Then she noticed Tsubaki tense up.

"TSUBAKI!" Patty yelled, and pounced on the older girl. Toki giggled. Oh, that's why she tensed.

"Hey!" yelled Black*Star, "Get yer paws off my weapon. She's mine!" Tsubaki blushed, her face hidden from behind Patty. Patty noticed nothing, she just continued to hug the other girl to smithereens.

Toki's head shot up at the word, "Weapon?" she whispered to herself. Toki mentally pointed at Tsubaki, "Tsubaki is a weapon," she then pointed at Black*Star. "And he must be her meister." She registered. Toki walked over to the newly introduced girl, and pulled a reluctant Patty off of her.

"You're a weapon?" Toki asked Tsubaki politely, already knowing the answer.

"Yes!" Tsubaki replied happily, "Why you ask?"

"Apparently I am too." Said Toki shrugged shyly, "And something called a Death Scythe, apparently."

You didn't think I would leave out Black*Star and Tsubaki, did you? Shame on you people. –waggles finger-

I feel like such an Alois Trancy, leaving you all hanging like this. Really, this isn't me who is leaving you hanging. It's my Beta. BLAME HER. SHE'S THE ONE WHO LEAVES YOU WITH CLIFFIES.

Also, for those of you who don't know who Alois Trancy is, ANOTHER SHAME ON YOU.
