That prologue was a little short for me, so I think I'll post chapter 1 to make it a tad longer. Ouch, this fic is just so cringe though. Please excuse me if you see an unfamiliar name in the middle of nowhere. I've been trying to replace the names, so I might've missed one. Haven't touched anything else though.
Chapter 1
"Hey Kid!" I shouted as I rollerbladed up to him.
"Hey Gillian." He answered as I went by.
"Hey have y-" I violently cut off with a yell as I rollerbladed backwards right into the stairs! I fell backwards and after about a minute or so of falling I landed at the bottom of the stairs.
"Gillian are you alright?" Kid asked as I lay at the bottom of the stairs
"Just fine." I moan.
"We better get you to nurse Medusa." Kid told me as he helped me up. He led me to Medusa
"Hmm... Your head's bleeding that's not good." She assessed after looking at my head.
"And?" I ask
"The only thing for me to do is to wrap it up." Medusa told me. I sighed. All the injuries I get inside the TV world still stay with me even after I leave and I didn't want my parents asking questions about my head injury. They already threw out my glass figurine collection after I told them the slash on my arm was from a shard of glass when really it was from when Grell was fighting with Sebastian and I got in the way of Grell's chainsaw.
When she was done I had a big white bandage wrapped around my head.
"Cheer up," Kid told me "It's not that bad."
"Really," I lamented "I look bald."
"Look will you stop rollerblading you're gonna get hurt." Kid told me
"I rollerblade because I find it part of who I am." I told him
"And that's what I like about you." Kid told me. I grinned
"Well I have to go now." I told him
"Yeah I have to get to class."
"Oh cover for me please?"
"What do I say?"
"Oh it doesn't matter." I shrugged. I rollerbladed off until Kid couldn't see me anymore and pulled out my remote. I pressed the pause button and found myself right in front of my TV. I quietly snuck outside to the porch and took off my rollerblades. When I was done I headed upstairs
"Gillian what happened to your head?" My dad gasped
"Uh I was trying my rollerblades out when I slipped." I sort of lied
"Do I have to take those away too?" My dad asked
"No!" I shrieked my voice getting really high pitched
"Alright but no more injuries." My dad sighed in defeat
"Thanks Daddy." I told him. I kissed him goodnight and headed to my bed. I crawled in and winced as my head hit the pillow. Talk about headache.
The next morning I woke up and headed to school. At school everyone gaped at my head wound and asked me about it including some of the teachers! I went with my old excuse and told them it was from rollerblading.
After school I grabbed my remote and flicked on Soul Eater. I pressed the play button and found myself in Soul Eater. I strapped on my rollerblades and took off. I soon found everyone playing a basketball game. Kid saw me
"Hey Gillian you wanna join?" He asked
"Sure!" I called out. I took off my rollerblades and replaced them with my sneakers. I was on the girl's team and so far we were losing. I took my usual position by the hoop and waited until I got the ball. I wasn't lazy it's just that I never have the nerve to steal the ball from anyone. I was too afraid that I would foul them. Although I was pretty lazy.
Soon Maka passed me the ball and I shot it in. Pretty soon we were turning the tables and winning. In the last few minutes of the game Patti shot me a wild one and instead of catching it it bonked me on the head. I remember waking up on the bench
"Gillian are you okay?" Kid asked
"I'm fine I just got a splitter headache." I told him. Everyone was crowding around me. I didn't want to command all the attention to myself for being a klutz so I asked who won.
"Nobody. We stopped playing right after you got hit." Kid told me
"Well let's finish the game!" I shouted
"Are you well enough to play?" Kid asked
"I'm just fine." I snorted. We finished the rest of the game which we won and I took off.
For a while I hung out in Soul Eater. I got closer and closer with Kid over time but I knew it wouldn't work out. I couldn't stay in Soul Eater for more than one episode at a time. When the episode ends I disappear so I make sure to leave before it ends.
One day I heard that there was a DWMA party. I thought that it would be fun to go so I grabbed a dress and did my hair. When I got there Kid was wearing a white suit which actually looked pretty cute on him.
"Hey!" I called out. Kid turned and greeted me
"Hey E-" he stopped and stared at me. I was wearing a teal dress which matched my blue-green eyes and I had my hair drawn back into a ponytail with a feat dangling next to my right eye.
"Hey Gillian you look good." Liz complimented me.
"Eevee's lookin good tonight! Eevee's lookin good tonight!" Patti chanted.
"Thank you." I answered politely. We waited there until everyone else showed up. Pretty soon we were all ready to go. When we got there Kid had to launch into some long boring speech but BlackStar kept interrupting him and pretty soon there was a fight. After that Kid was trying to teach Liz and Patti some kind of symmetrical dance while I sat in a chair and was a wallflower. I noticed that Stein was dancing with Medusa. I didn't really like Medusa for some reason. I was eating a plate of potato chips quietly when I noticed Kid had finished teaching Liz and Patti the symmetrical dance and was approaching me. I pretended not to notice and wait until he stood right in front of me to look up. Kid was about halfway towards me when suddenly I heard a loud bang. I looked up and saw who other but Grell Sutcliff.
"Wow you have a nice party here." He remarked
"What are you doing here?" I asked irritated
"Oh Gillian I found you!" Grell exclaimed
"Do you know this guy?" Kid asked
"Unfortunately yes." I sighed
"What do you mean unfortunately?!" Grell yelled
"Grell get out of here." I sighed
"Well I can't go without you." He cooed
"Why?" I asked
"You're my daughter and I've been looking all over for you!"
"What?!" I exclaimed. I was shocked. I have always had an affinity (obsession) with the shinigami but still it was horribly embarrassing to have Grell as my dad. Plus even though I never knew my biological dad and I was adopted Grell lived in an entirely different world.
"So come on and go with me," Grell cooed "You can be an officer at the dispatch and leave this disgusting human world."
"I don't believe you." I answered
"I can prove it!" He protested. He pulled out some old photographs and handed them to me. It was a picture of a baby wrapped in a pink blanket and written under the picture was Gillian, 2001. There was no mistaking it, that was my mom's handwriting. She even had a matching picture on a frame!
"You must have faked it." I answered although my voice was lacking confidence
"I can prove it," he said a bit more annoyed "If you're my daughter you can last in a fight!" He whipped out his chainsaw. My eyes widened. I have never fought before in my life and now suddenly I'm against a shinigami!
I pulled out my curtain hanger thingie and pointed it at him. I don't know what to call it but when I was in Kuroshitsuji I had found it at that cane maker's shop and he gave it to me for free. He said it reminded people of death and therefore scared away his customers. It is a curtain hanger but at the end it gets thinner until it ends in a needle like point and at the beginning it's rounded like a cane handle.
He charged me and took a swipe at me with his chainsaw. I found myself dodging his every move with ease. After a few minutes I realized that we were ruining the party. Suddenly Grell aimed his chainsaw at Kid. I ran and caught it by the sides. I was slammed against a table and found my arms tiring. I won't be able to keep this up for long I realized soon my arms would tire and I would be cut to pieces! Would Grell kill me his own daughter? I couldn't be sure, he killed Madam Red.
Suddenly Kid started shooting at Grell. He quickly backed off and I put my arms down. Before Grell knew what was happening I had ran forward and grabbed him by the ear.
"Ouch!" He yelled
"Let's finish this outside," I told him "Someone's going to get hurt." I dragged him out the door but right before we left I bowed in apology. I dragged him outside and then let go of his ear.
"You little brat!" He yelled. He charged me again but this time he must have ran faster because before I knew it he was right in front of me. He slashed me with his chainsaw but he did it harder than he intended because not only did it slash my chest but it also nailed my heart. I dropped to the ground like a deadweight and closed my eyes. I saw my cinematic records playing. I saw the time when I was in my world before I found the remote. I was like Ciel Phantomhive I didn't smile and always looked unhappy. I saw the time where I found a long and sharp knife at a thrift shop. I was staring at it transfixed at it's beauty when Grace told me to stop acting like a serial killer and I put it down. I waited to die. I was always afraid of death because shinigami didn't exist in my world so I didn't know what would happen. I waited but nothing happened. I opened my eyes and found Grell panicking.
"I've killed her," he shouted "Now I've gone and done it I killed my own daughter!" I slowly got up and put a hand to my chest only to find that the wounds were healed.
"What's going on?!" I cried
"Oh you're a shinigami now!" Grell exclaimed joyfully. I looked in a puddle and saw that my eyes were no longer blue-green but now a neon green-yellow color. I stood up and brandished my curtain hanger thingie.
"Now it's a fair fight!" I snarled
"Oh you already have a death scythe!" Grell noticed
"Huh?" I asked bewildered
"That thing," he said pointing to my weapon "It's a very famous and old death scythe made a long time ago. It's been lost for centuries now but it's chosen you as it's wielder."
"Well then I guess you better start running because I can kill you with this thing." I threatened with a smile on my face.
"Wait what?!" Grell shrieked. I ran up to him and slammed him with my death scythe(?) before he could blink. He scrambled to his feet and tried to use his chainsaw on me. I blocked it with my death scythe and had just enough time to cut him. I charged him and tackled him to the ground. I had him pinned down with my death scythe at his throat. He whimpered like a puppy and I was faced with the decision of either killing him or letting him go. I waited for a moment then sighed in defeat and let him up.
"Go on get! You know when you're beaten." I told him
"Wait I just met you I wanna get to know you!" He protested
"Fine." I sighed. We both sat on a wall outside and proceeded to chat.
"How am I your daughter we look nothing alike?" I asked
"I met your mother in my human form with brown hair," he explained "It's funny because I never like humans much less women anymore. But your mom was kind and she had a air of danger to her like it was forbidden to even talk to her. I like it." He said. I shuddered
"But in your human form you have long straight brown hair and my mother had long straight blond hair but I have short dirty blond (basically a lighter brown color) curly hair." I objected
"Well genetics is a rather confusing thing." Grell sighed. We finished up our conversation and I headed home. I was too embarrassed to show my face in Soul Eater after ruining the party.
The next morning I went to school and after that finally mustered my courage to visit Soul Eater. I picked up my remote and pressed the play button. It was a couple episodes later so it was after Medusa locked them in a box and set the Kishin free.
I rollerbladed into DWMA and made a beeline straight for Kid.
"Hey Kid," I called as I pulled up "I'm sorry about ruining the party."
"It's okay," he answered "Besides that was almost a month ago."
"What?!" I exclaimed. Kid noticed my eyes
"Hey what's up with your eyes?" He asked
"Oh I guess you could say I'm not quite human." I answered
"I don't get what you mean."
"Well now I'm a shinigami." I explained. Kid didn't get it so I told him the whole story.
"What?!" He shouted shocked
"I'm worried about being a shinigami. No offense but I don't want to be a shinigami!" I cried. He soothed me by suggesting that we go see Maka and Soul. We found them by their dorm room.
"Hi Soul-kun!" Blair shouted and hugged him. His nose started to gush blood.
"I don't understand why people's noses bleed when stuff like that happens," I criticized
"Come on it happens to all of us," Kid told me "It's happened to me, it's happened to BlackStar, it's happened to all of us at some point. Hasn't it happened to you?" He asked
"No." I answered shaking my head
"You've never had a nosebleed?" Kid asked
"Nope, never." I answered
"Wow that's impressive," Kid whistled. I was known for never having a nosebleed ever in my life. Not just here but in my own world too.
I hung out with Kid and everyone else for a few more months. Slowly with dread I came closer and closer to the last episode. I met Excalibur (he was REALLY annoying) and I got to enjoy a part of all the adventures everyone had but this was always the part that I dreaded. I was used to it by now but I still hated having to say goodbye to my friends. It was a couple nights before Kid was heading off with Maka and BlackStar to fight the kishin.
"Hey Gillian," Kid called out as I was walking by. The sun was going to start setting in about half an hour. "There's this bench nearby and maybe you wanna go hang out with me?" I blushed
"Sure," I agreed. We headed toward the bench and sat next to each other. We watched the sun setting and I said "I'm sure gonna miss you guys."
"What do you mean?" Kid asked
"I have to go Kid," I answered "I can't stay here. I'm not from here and neither is Grell. Although I'm not going with him we still aren't meant to stay here. I always hate saying goodbye to my friends," My voice cracked but I kept going "I will always remember you Kid. I hope we will see each other again soon. I have to leave after tonight but I hope we can enjoy these last moments together." Kid stood up and I followed.
"Well," he answered "there's only one thing I can do." Before I could react he leaned over and kissed me right on my lips! My mind was screaming but my heart was soaring. We broke apart after a few moments although we could have been kissing for hours for as much as I knew.
"That was 'nice'," I answered not really knowing what to say.
"Hey Gillian look!" Kid told me. I didn't get what he meant until I wiped my nose and found blood on my hand. I was having a nosebleed for the first time in my life!
"Oh my god!" I shouted. I frantically wiped the blood off and looked at Kid. We both simultaneously burst out laughing. I told Kid I had something for him in return. I ran back to my room and got back with a very special gift.
"What is it?" Kid asked
"Here," I said handing it to him "it's Black Bird my favorite manga book." He looked it over.
"I think it's the best book I have ever seen," he told me. I looked into his eyes and saw that he meant it. I handed him a picture of all of us posing under a tree, another book this one on pistols, my skateboard Excalibur (Kid shivered when I said it), my rollerblades, and I handed him my throwing star collection.
"Give those to everyone for me," I told him. He smiled and nodded. After that I left Soul Eater for the last time to go back to my world.
