Black Blood Is Thicker Than Water – Chapter 2: Damn Those Psycho Teachers!

Kitsune's POV

It was, by my guess, way past midnight and the storm was still raging. Channon had fallen asleep in her little emo corner, Kris was sleeping on the sofa, and Lucian had stalked off hours ago. I couldn't tell whether Crona was awake or not because he had his back to me; and Maka was lying on the cold wooden floor, using her coat as a blanket, and quietly talking to me.

She had explained the rules at Shibusen, along with a brief outline of the lessons and teachers.

"Well, that's about it," she whispered, and then quickly added, "Oh… and Professor Stein will probably try to dissect you when you first meet him."

"Wait…what?"

Maka smiled reassuringly, "You'll be fine. Well, I need some sleep now. Night, Kitsune." She finished, closing her eyes. I sat silently on the floor for a few minutes, waiting to be sure that she was asleep. Once I heard her breathing begin to slow, I relaxed slightly, and stood up. I was wide awake now, and not really planning to sleep anytime soon.

As I snuck out of the room, I could swear that I felt someone looking at me, but as I turned around, everything was still, so I decided it must have been my imagination. Finding my way around in the dark was much harder in a place I didn't know, and I almost tripped over several times. Cursing quietly, I headed upstairs. Disappointingly, I found nothing interesting, just the usual rooms. Just as I was about to give up and head downstairs, a quiet but slightly threatening voice from behind me made me jump and turn around sharply.

"Snooping around are we?" asked Lucian, "I wouldn't do that…"

"Is that a threat?" I growled, trying to sound braver than I felt.

He just seemed amused at my attempt to intimidate him, "Not really... It was merely a warning."

He walked off calmly, and I decided to heed his 'warning' and head back downstairs, not thinking anything of the encounter other than that Lucian was a bit creepy. Little did I know, it was a genuine warning for what was to come…

The Next Morning~!

"Ugh…What time is it?" I groaned, as Kris poked me repeatedly, trying to get me up.

"Half six…" He replied, sounding depressed, especially for him. Well, he was never a morning person anyway.

"Come on guys!" Maka said, annoying cheerful for this time in the morning, "We need to get going!"

I started to really wish I hadn't stayed up that late the night before, but slowly got up, muttering darkly to myself about having better things to do. Quickly putting on my jacket, I ran out of the door after Kris.

Kris grabbed me by the collar of my coat, just about preventing me from running straight into the white haired guy from yesterday. He seemed to ignore this, and glanced at Maka.

"Oh good," he sighed, in a mix of relief and exasperation, "You're not dead after all."

"No Soul," Maka replied, "But we will be if we're late for Stein's class…"

Needless to say, we ran the whole way there.

Kris's P.O.V

"Ah," Stein said, in a tone between annoyed and mocking, while swivelling around on a chair, "You decided to turn up after all…"

"Sorry…Professor," Maka panted, "We all ran…the whole way…here…"

Stein sighed, "Oh well, it seems you're just in time to be part of my latest experiment. Do you remember the first time I asked you to match Soul Wavelengths with a group of people, Maka? Well you're going to need to do that again…"

"Oh no…" she sighed, and Soul muttered something, and turned into his weapon form.

"You ready, partner?" I asked; turning to face Kitsune, she nodded, and I changed forms too; a metal band around her wrists, with three long claws protruding from it. We readied ourselves for a fight, and I looked around at the others. Channon was looking determined, holding a samurai style sword in one hand.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" she murmured to Lucian.

I heard him chuckle, "…It has…This should be fun."

Crona turned to his…'weapon'…who to be honest kind of scared me, "Ragnarok?"

Ragnarok growled, "Shut it Crona!" but changed into his demon sword form nevertheless.

I looked around the group of people once more; then at Stein.

"We're screwed aren't we?" I sighed.

"Pretty much…" Maka replied, although she had what looked like a confident smile on her face.

Suddenly, and without so much as a warning, Stein (still sitting on his weird chair) darted at Maka, palm outstretched with a strange looking electricity emanating from it. She dodged just in time, and swung Soul at him, which he blocked without effort. While Stein was distracted, Crona lifted the demon sword and slashed along his own arm, then flicking his wrist and sending a hardened crescent of black blood flying at Stein. "Bloody Slicer!"

Stein ducked the attack, which then crashed into Maka and heavily cut along her side. She hissed in pain and hesitated. Kitsune lunged forward, aiming blows at Stein in an attempt to give Maka time to recover. "Soul Force," growled Stein, and the electricity began to crackle in his hands again. He hit Kitsune hard, and she was sent flying into a wall. He dodged again, as both Maka and Channon aimed for him and ended up crashing into each other. Kitsune unsteadily got to her feet, "F-Flame Resonance…" I concentrated, trying to put all my power into the Resonance. A blue, flame-like glow began to emanate from my weapon form.

Kitsune paused, steadying herself, "Pyro Cutter!"

"I don't think so…" Stein murmured as a two-palmed Soul Force hit both of us, sending searing pain up my whole body and making me transform back into my human form. I saw everyone else lying around us as I felt myself lose consciousness.

Kitsune's P.O.V

I tentatively tried to move my left arm, and moaned as intense pain shot through my whole body. Kris seemed to have passed out, and everyone else was either unconscious or seemingly too tired to move.

"Class is dismissed," Stein said cheerfully, skidding out of the room on his chair, and promptly falling over Soul, who was sprawled across the floor.

"Ow," groaned Soul, as the teacher landed on top of him.

"Hey Kris," I asked weakly, as he began to wake up, "Why did I want to go to this school again?"

I am aware that the ending is a fail once again. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter anyways.

Pretty please R & R?
