Hey everyone! I've decided to post chapter two quickly in the hopes that people will start reading and hopefully reviewing my story. If you decide to read this please I need constructive criticism to improve!

"Maka." "MAKA!" the yelling brings me out of my memories, and I realize tears are streaming down my face and everyone has crcowded around me. Wiping them away I put on the best smile I can,
"Yes, what is it?" the faces around me change from concern to disbelief and the thought on everyone's mind "what was she just thinking about?" Honey is the first to break the silence,
"What were you just thinking about Maka?" I visibly flinch at the question and simply respond "Don't worry about it. I was just day dreaming." My smile feels forced and my lips are quivering. That doesn't seem to have helped my situation. Next Mori asks a question that causes my heart to stop entirely,
"Was it about Soul?" The others seem confused at what their silent classmate has said. My only focus is on Mori as I gaze up into his eyes trying to read what could from his face. "H-h-how do you know t-that name?" I can barely speak, new tears threatening to wash away what remains of my self-control. The silence drags out and nothing is said for what seems like an eternity. I realize I am no longer in my chair when I am surrounded by the warmth of his arms.
"Maka I'm so sorry. You have to realize it's not your fault. He promised he would protect you and that's what he did." My tears, now freely flowing, are being absorbed by his jacket. Trying my best to speak while sobbing I choke out "Who are you? How do you know about him?" The others are looking at us in shock. "How did Mori know what to say? What is going on? And most of all, what could have happened with this guy to cause Maka so much pain?"
"I'm sorry Maka I guess I should explain right?" Mori started, "My cousin called me when she heard you were coming to Ouran academy. She made me swear that no matter what happened that I would be here for you. And for that, I can't begin to thank Tsubaki enough for." Realization settled in when I began noticing the similarities between the two. They have the same jet black hair, they are both quite tall, and they have the same comfortable aura.
"I can't believe she went and did that. I wanted to start over somewhere where nobody knew about that, but now that the secret is out shall we explain to the others what's going on?" The nod of confirmation from him was all I needed to get started.
"So like I said before my school was in Nevada. In a little town called death city." Here come the questions I thought to myself and just as I suspected Kyoya inquired, "Did you say death city? I'm very familiar with America and there is not a single city called that."
"I know, that's what I'm getting to. The school I was going to technically doesn't exist, and neither does the city. The reason for this is so that the enemy can't find us-" before I could explain further I was interrupted,
"What do you mean enemy?" Of course it was Kyoya again. "I mean just what I said Kyoya. My school the DWMA is a school for weapons and meisters, and before you ask a meister is a weapon wielder." The look of surprise continued to grow on the faces of everyone except for Mori and Honey.
"I would love to show you but I'm not a weapon, I'm a meister. Every meister has a weapon partner. My partner-" I broke off for a moment the threat of memories trying to force its way in. Clearing my throat I began again, "My partner was a scythe weapon named Soul. One month ago today we were sent on a mission in Italy. We were to exterminate all kishin eggs that we came across. A kishin egg is a soul that has fallen to madness and evil. Riding around the city I felt the presence of one kishin egg surrounded my about 60 souls, but as we approached the number suddenly diminished to only 2 souls. A meister and a weapon, we knew we had to go in because collecting human souls is strictly forbidden." I took a deep breath knowing here was where I needed my strength the most.
"A meister and a weapon work together in perfect harmony. Finding your ideal partner takes time, but is always worth the effort. The meister and weapon we came across were not only a good match for each other; they were shy of absolute perfection. That's only to be expected because they are two souls inhabiting the same body." Even Mori and Honey were surprised to hear this. Being well-educated by his cousin Mori knew everything there was to know about weapons and meisters and being the good person he is he shared this knowledge with Honey.
"Maka how is that possible?" Mori demanded, "A meister and weapon living in harmony in the same body? That's insanity!"
"My feelings exactly Mori, does that help you understand our defeat?" A collective gasp echoed through the massive room, but they hadn't even heard the half of it yet.
