AN. Hey readers. This was originally a one-shot, but three people added it to their alerts and DeaththeKidKat's review suggestion hasn't left my mind yet. So, as an outlet for my thoughts and as a gift to all you readers, I plan to add a few more pieces to this.
Hope you enjoy reading and please review!


Bad Feeling

Tsubaki woke up having a weird feeling.

Something seemed to tell her that today would not be a good day. It worried her, but she couldn't dwell on it. She needed to make breakfast, wake Blackstar, and focus on her schoolwork.

Exams were coming up soon. Just because she and her teammates had defeated the Kishin Asura didn't mean they weren't still students at the DWMA.

She began breakfast and as the smell of bacon wafted through the air Tsubaki forgot about the foreboding feeling she felt when she woke up. That is until she arrived at school.

Once she crossed the entrance into the academy, a feeling of something going horribly wrong that day returned to her.

Blackstar seemed to notice that something was bothering his weapon partner, but he didn't ask her about it. If she wanted to share, she would.

The day proceeded as normal, or what was now the new normal, up 'till Prof. Stein's class.

Team Resonance.

Tsubaki knew that they hadn't resonated together since Asura. She still felt as if something bad was going to occur, but she never once thought it would be the seven of them resonating. They'd resonated together multiple times. Their team was actually the best at it out of all the one star groups.

So when the link between the seven died unexpectedly and Kid and Blackstar began shouting at each other, she was shocked.

She knew the team had changed after Asura, but this? Had they all changed so much that they were willing to desert each other? Then again, from Kid's argument, it sounded as if they deserted each other a while ago.

As Kid, Patty, and Liz exited the classroom Tsubaki kept turning her head, to her partner and then to her departing friends.

How could this have happened?

They'd been through so much and now...

It seemed like all their hardships were for not.

When Tsuabaki witnessed Maka collapse and Soul comfort her, she knew that this couldn't be easily fixed with a 'Sorry' and 'I forgive you'. This would take time.

Tsubaki stopped swiveling her head and focused on her meister. He stood fuming and glaring at a wall. She reached out to reassure him she was still there for him, but Blackstar shook her off.

Tsubaki sighed in defeat; then silently left the room.

A tear escaped one of her eyes and travelled down her cheek as she strolled out of the academy towards the place she shared with Blackstar.

She'd been right that morning.

Today was not a good day.
