Moving Forward
Chapter two: Soul Eater? What kind of name is that?
.
Chiyoko and Kagome walked up to a large building that they could only describe as odd, but cool in a way "Whoever built this must be really into skulls... and gothic or punk stuff maybe" Kagome didn't know how true that statement was, Chiyoko did though and changed into her cat form to curl up in Kagome's arms "Huh? What's gotten into you? Sure, the aura around this place is eerie at worst and mysterious at best but surely that isn't what is bothering you" Kagome looked down at her companion curiously, watching Chiyoko fidget and swish her tails in a nervous fashion, she narrowed her ocean blue eyes in suspicion "You're not telling me something" Chiyoko stiffened at the demanding tone Kagome used, she wasn't being playful anymore.
"Ok, it's just the headmaster, he's kind of you know uh... Death" Chiyoko's voice echoed through the mental link she shared with Kagome, hoping she wouldn't be too mad at her for not warning her beforehand and keeping that bit of information a secret.
"You mean he's dead?" Kagome replied incredulously, gasping shortly after with a hand covering her mouth in utter horror. If she could, Chiyoko would've smacked herself but she was unable to do so because of her cat body "No! I mean he's THE Death! You know, like the Grim Reaper or Shinigami" Kagome made a small ah sound "You should have told me earlier! I would've dressed more formally or something" she tugged at her hakama.
"I don't think you could look better in any other dress Kagome, you look really pretty" Chiyoko let out a pleased meow when she saw her friend smile. Kagome walked to where she presumed she'd meet the school's headmaster, watching the ceiling warily. The "archway" she was passing under was conformed of blades she was sure were used once to decapitate people "No doubt about it. It's definitely Lord Death in charge of this place" just in case, Kagome made a barrier that extended about a foot all around her, it flashed blue for a moment before seemingly disappearing to the untrained eye. Chiyoko relaxed her tense form when she felt the soothing energy of Kagome encase them; needless to say she felt a whole lot safer.
Soon enough, they came upon a wide open area filled with fluffy white clouds and floating windows, with a large mirror on a slightly elevated piece of ground. A black figure was standing in front of the mirror, Kagome wondered if that was the headmaster and searched for his aura; if the person didn't have one, then it meant he really was Death. Kagome didn't find anything close to an aura on him, not even a soul from what she could see so she spoke up, gaining the dark figure's attention.
"Excuse me, are you Lord Death by any chance?" Kagome had a look of pure awe on her face, she almost couldn't believe she was standing in front of Lord Death himself! "Yes, that would be me and who are you young lady?" the powerful girl hastily bowed "My name is Kagome Higurashi, it's a pleasure to meet you sir" Kagome saw a thoughtful expression cross his... face and then recognition replaced it "Ah yes, you're the new meister from Japan, are you not? Tell me, do you have a weapon already?" his peculiar head was tilted to the side now.
Chiyoko leapt out of Kagome's arms and into the air, transforming into her whip form which Kagome caught with ease, releasing it so Chiyoko could transform into her humanoid form "I am Chiyoko, Kagome's weapon. It's nice to meet you Lord Death" like Kagome, Chiyoko bowed to him gracefully despite her fear of him, she saw no need to alert him of it anyway... Chiyoko didn't want to give him something for him to take advantage of, even if he already had a huge one since he is Lord Death and all.
Death studied the girls intently even if it wasn't evident because of his current form, and focused on the barrier that was shimmering around them. He hadn't seen such a powerful barrier in years, since people with the ability to make them didn't have the knowledge to do so; how was it that this girl seemed to do it naturally? He would have to tell Stein to keep his hands off of her or he might just dissect her because of her unique abilities and power.
His pondering was cut short when his new student, Kagome began to speak.
"Lord Death, will we be starting tomorrow? Is there some specific dress code we need to be aware of? I'll have to go shopping..." she muttered the last part to herself and she shifted her gaze to her companion "She'll be attending with me, right?" Death nodded his consent "Yes miss Higurashi, this is after all a death weapon meister academy" he laughed good-naturedly at her embarrassed blush.
"So I take it you have already settled into one of the apartments nearby?" Chiyoko grinned, showing her shiny white fangs to the world, but Death wasn't fazed and he actually looked like he saw teeth like that everyday. "Mm-hm it's really cozy-lookin too" Chiyoko rocked herself on her heels beside Kagome, taking refuge in her comforting presence and aura "I'm sorry to cut this meeting short Lord Death, but we've got to get going if we want to get any shopping at all in today, so until tomorrow!" The girls bowed to the grim reaper and left the strange room and the barrier around them dispersed in a bout of colorful mist.
Death shook his head in amusement at the girls' hurried departure, he just knew the next day was going to be very interesting- he slumped tiredly in anticipation for the havoc a select few of his students would cause. He really needed to consider what he needed to do with them.
It really was too bad that aspirin didn't work for death gods because he was going to need them after tomorrow came...
.
Kagome walked up the steps to her new school quickly; she was almost running late and on her first day too! Lady Midoriko would be so disappointed in her if she was watching her now- Kagome sincerely hoped that was not the case. Kagome had decided to change her attire to something a whole lot more modern than her last outfit to avoid too much attention, though she'd still be getting it in a different way from the male students. Her green tank top molded her very well developed chest nicely and her dark brown cargo pants were fitted to her slim waist and wide hips before going into the baggy state most cargo pants were known for. Her hair was pulled into a loose braid over her right shoulder considering Chiyoko was on her left one and on her feet were a pair of brown running shoes.
Chiyoko held on to Kagome's shoulder for dear life as the priestess sped through the academy's entrance, oblivious to all the stares they were receiving from the rest of the students but that didn't matter to either of the girls since all one could think about was not being late and the other was too busy clinging to her shoulder for her own safety.
The raven haired girl turned a corner as fast as she could to avoid being late, missing the other teen that just happened to be walking down the same long hallway she was in with his arms behind his head in a laid back fashion and his eyes closed lazily. Kagome only took notice of him when she a short distance away but it was too late to avoid collision now "W-Watch out!" her voice made his eyes snap open and blue clashed with red for a moment before they tumbled harshly to the ground.
"Ow that hurt m- oh my gosh! Are you ok? I'm so sorry; I wasn't watching where I was eh running..." She pushed herself up on her arms a bit and looked down at his face, unknowingly giving the boy a very good view of cleavage by doing so, and gasped when she saw a small trickle of blood come from his nose "Ah! You're bleeding!" he blushed a deep red color, very much resembling a tomato which made Kagome press her cool hand to his forehead "You're not sick, are you? I'm really sorry... Let me help you up" it was then Kagome took notice of their position, she was on top of him with her legs straddling his hips and her hands on either side of his head on the ground; a blush stained her face as she helped the boy up.
"Sorry again, I was in a hurry" Kagome rubbed the back of her neck nervously "My name is Kagome Higurashi by the way, what's yours?" The teen gave her a smirk "The name's Soul Eater, nice to meet ya Kagome. So you're the new student everyone's been talking about? Cool, but there's this guy, his name's BlackStar that'll probably come to see you soon for getting all of the attention" Soul snickered at Kagome's confused face.
"Don't worry about him though. You said you were in a hurry?" Kagome blushed again "I am, I kinda need to get to class" Soul burst out laughing and laughed harder when he saw Kagome pout "Hey~! What's so funny?" she pouted, crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently while Soul calmed down "Well I hate to brake it to ya Kagome, but class is that way" he pointed his finger to the opposite direction Kagome had been going "Aw crap, you mean I almost run you over for nothing! Man what the heck is wrong with me..." Soul chuckled a bit but nonetheless patted the new girl's head "C'mon Kagome, I'll take you to class"
Soul opened the door to the slightly empty classroom, it turned out Kagome had her clock and watch wrong and arrived about half an hour early with Chiyoko, and tugged Kagome and her partner inside. Chiyoko had been on Kagome's shoulder when she was about to crash into Soul, but she had successfully jumped off and avoided collision, only to be picked up by Kagome a few moments later and introduced as her friend and weapon… Soul's face when he saw her was priceless! His incredulous eyes had shifted from her tails to her eyes while he asked "What kind of cat is that?" Chiyoko giggled mentally, remembering all the explaining Kagome had to do before he could understand and after all of that he just said "Cool…"
Oh well, boys will be boys.
Maka, Death The Kid, Liz and Patty watched on with curiosity as Soul dragged a new student over to them that had a strange cat perched on her shoulder, while Tsubaki tried to convince Black Star to not charge at the girl for being the center of attention. As if feeling their stares, Kagome looked their way with the same curious glint in her eyes, probably wondering why she was being stared at so much, but they couldn't help but be awed by the bright blue color of her eyes that drew them in and Maka nearly gasped when she saw how large her soul was. 'It looks as if a piece is missing… but that's not possible, is it? If she was truly missing a part of her soul she would be in extreme pain… or dead'
Leave it to Kagome to confuse and intrigue others at the same time without even trying.
