Tsubaki s gentle smile faded in shock. Black Star s head whipped towards them, the words 'Death Scythe' reaching his ears.
A Death Scythe? They cried in unison. Tsubaki was in disbelief and Black Star in excitement.
Really?
Toki nodded, her confused look evident. What was the big deal about a Death Scythe? What, are they rare? A million questions whirled through her head until Black Star interrupted her rambling mind.
You must be really powerful then, huh? he said noisily.
Toki looked at her feet.
I don t know what you re talking about. She said quietly. 'What the heck was the big deal about a Death Scythe anyway?'
I m not really sure what a weapon or a Death Scythe is. Toki confessed sheeply.
Black Star was dumbfounded. What kind of idiot didn't know what they were? He was getting angry just thinking about it.
WHAT? he hollered, Where do you come from that you don t know what a weapon is? Do you live in a shack or something? Man seriously
Tsubaki interrupted him by pulling his ear and whispering in it. As she whispered, her meister s responses were along the lines of But what? , really? and OH! That s why , Do I have to?
When Tsubaki was done, Black Star scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Sorry about that, he said, I didn t mean to yell he grumbled.
He looked at Tsubaki angrily, Happy now?
Tsubaki nodded and gave him thumbs up. Black Star grumbled and looked away.
I guess while we re here, we might as well help you with your weapon skills. offered Tsubaki. She smiled gently, she loved helping people.
Toki nodded gratefully, I d like that
In the background, tired of being ignored, Patty moaned, I m bored. Can we get on with it? She turned to look behind her, and spotted Kid and Liz coming out of the manor. With a grin, Patty took a deep breath and yelled as loud as she could.
TSUBAKI-NEECHAN AND BLACK BAKA ARE HERE!
Tsubaki giggled and Black Star yelled indignantly. He then proceeded to give Patty a noogie muttering "Why you little" until Liz ran up to stop him.
Shall we go get Maka and Soul then? Kid asked. "Might as well make it a group date then. The more the merrier." He looked at Toki, "Is that alright with you?"
Toki nodded. She was eager to get started. They started the short trek to Maka and Soul s apartment, which was only a few blocks away, anyway. Toki took this time to study her surroundings, and memorized her way so she wouldn t get lost. She hated being a burden.
The houses were strangely shaped, but every street had their own appeal. Complementary colours were everywhere, and they helped the city achieve a light and upbeat feeling.
Looking to the North, Toki saw a huge building lined with sculls, spikes and enormous candles. Liz caught her staring and grinned at Toki's awe-struck face.
That s Shibusen, our school. Today s Sunday, so we don t go to school, but tomorrow you can come with us and maybe you'll remember something.
Toki hoped so. She hated her lack of knowing-stuff. Tearing her eyes away from Shibusen, she continued her scenery studying.
The group walked for few more minutes, through a few alleyways and past by a basketball court, until they reached a building of apartments that read Shibusen Dorms . The sign was written in big letters on the roof, with a big funny shaped skull separating the words.
Here we are. Kid announced and proceeded to walk up the steps to knock on Soul and Maka s dorm door.
Soul opened the door, his yellow jacket glowing against the bright sunlight. He grinned.
You re late. He smirked, giving Kid some props. Kid grinned and returning the gesture.
Sorry, but we ran into the idiot on our way here.
HEY! Black Star retorted, and everybody laughed.
Maka appeared from behind Soul, a mountain of books in her arms.
Hey Toki! she said while wobbling, I have some learning books to help you
Maka lost her balanced and fell, but Soul moved quickly enough to catch her. The books flew everywhere and landed like grenades around the porch.
Wouldn t she learn better hands on? Soul asked while holding her. Maka blushed and turned away. Soul grinned inwardly, 'I m so cool' he thought to himself.
I suppose so. Maka said reluctantly, while still blushing. She moved to gather her books.
As they moved to exit of the apartment, Maka casually gave Toki one of the books, and whispered to her not to tell Soul. Toki nodded, giggling, and continued on.

H-hey, guys. Sorry this took so long.
I'd just like to say, like every cliche fanfiction writer, thank you to my reviewers. It means more than you know, and if you ever write a story of your own, you'll know how much it means to me.
My Beta writes this during her spare, so I give her props, even though she took a while. WAY TO BE BOSS.
Hope you liked that little bot of Soul/Maka. I added it just for you lovely readers. I'm not that great at romantic scenes, it seems.
Also, if anyone has a Soul Eater character OC that they'd like to put in the Classroom Scene once they get to Shibusen, give me the character descriptions, and I'll see what I can do. Pictures would be nice, but I can only put in a few until it gets too cluttered. SPACES ARE LIMITED. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
See you next time, hope it doesn't take as long 3
