Chapter 6

Toki soon found herself at the basketball court they had passed on the way to Soul's house. They proceeded to stop there and Maka then announced that it would be the perfect place for Toki to practice.
"Ready Toki?" Maka asked eagerly.
"As ready as I'll ever be!" Toki replied sheepishly.
They had decided beforehand that it would be best if the weapons faced Toki without their meisters. Maka thought it would be best to help using with the raw feelings they themselves had experienced when they had first found out their true forms.
The group of weapons made their way to centre court, all facing Toki. The meisters were all sitting on the bench, waiting for the show to begin. Everyone was excited and eager to see what kind of weapon she was. The possibilities were endless. The mystery was finally about to unravel. Maybe Toki was like Tsubaki and have multiple forms? They would find out. Apprehension was high, and needless to say, no one was more excited than the aforementioned herself.
Toki began to close her eyes, and her timid smile disappeared. She concentrated on bringing forth her energy, like Soul had described earlier. She could feel the familiar thrum of power in her chest, familiar, yet at the same time foreign. It was a soothing feeling, much like seeing family after a long while. She felt calm, and yet excited at the same time. It was a strange feeling but Toki was determined to see it though.
Her new friends watched in anticipation as Toki's gold eyes closed and her aura began to expand.
Kid shifted uncomfortably. It was a heavier aura then had originally guessed. He had expected something lighter, and swifter, like arrows or flying knives. But instead of the feminine airiness he had presumed, he felt raw deadly power locked within a fatal weight. Crushing and unforgiving.
A cool breeze swept through the court, but only touched Toki, it seemed.
The group watched in fascination as Toki's hair was gently swept away from her face and her furrowed, concentrating brows grew more apparent then ever.
Toki could feel the power trying to work. It scratched at the surface, pleading for release. It was like a pulse, begging to be released from its confines. The pulse quickened and the power grew, Toki was getting more and more impatient. Her small body could barely contain it's growing expansion.
The group gasped the first time Toki glowed. Her shining quickened in pulses, as if it just needed to flow like water.
'This is taking too long.' Soul thought to himself. 'Any longer and it might get dangerous. For everyone.' He glanced at Maka, and then at Toki. His focused red eyes noticed pearls of sweat forming on her scrunched face.
Then it hit him. Why hadn't he thought of it sooner?
She needed an outlet.
She needed someone to fight.

….H-hey guys. –hides sheepishly in a corner-
I really hope you can forgive me. BUT ITS NOT ENTIRELY MY FAULT FOR NOT UPDATING.
And I also apologize to that one reviewer (you know who you are) Your character doesn't appear in this chapter (obviously) because I miscalculated when the classroom scene takes place. Once that comes about, you'll know.
On another note, Happy Holidays and Happy Belated Solstice. I have a gift for you all.
TWO MORE CHAPTERS ON THE WAY. OH YESSSSS.
Please enjoy. 3
