Hey!
I'm sooooooooo sorry that I haven't updated in...2 weeks?!
I'm sorry but to me that isn't acceptable considering the fact that you guys actually enjoyed the first chapter. And that I said I would update before I went back to school. And that was two weeks ago... Actually right after I posted the first chapter, the next night I started working on this chapter and I was planning to have it finished by about a day or two after. But I never got around to finishing it. Then I had to start preparing for school and that was stressful enough. I couldn't watch anime for the rest of the summer pretty much. Not because I wasn't allowed to or anything, I just didn't have enough time. I also had to finish my summer homework.
So basically I didn't have time to do any writing or watching anime or even reading manga because I had to prepare for school. And when I wasn't preparing for school, I had to try and at least leave the house because I haven't left my room...all summer...and the outernet is scary so that took me about 3 hours to get to the outernet.
Anyway, I honestly apologize for not being able to write or publish anything and I'm actually pretty pissed at myself for not writing. I'm gonna try to write as much as possible when I'm not cramming for a test or catching up on work. Cause lets be honest, the first week of school is always the hardest and it sucks the most. It did for me XD
But this week shouldn't be too bad and I should be able to write more. But again I'm really really sorry for not updating this chapter sooner!
Also I would like to thank you guys for the favorites and reviews on my fanfic.
And here I present you with the next chapter :)
Where is Soul?
I had just finished my conference with Lord Death about becoming a weapon. In all honesty, it went by pretty well. I was expecting him to have found out about my parents and what they used to do to me. I thought he was going to call for my parents to be thrown in jail or something. Then I would have to stay with Soul permanently.
When Lord Death made my brother and Maka leave, I started to think it would be more important of a talk than I thought.
What if he did know about what they did to me?
But I tend to overthink a lot of things...
Those thoughts are ridiculous!
He didn't know about my parents and none of the staff did either. So it wouldn't make any sense in the slightest for him to talk to me about that.
And he didn't. So I'm fine...
Unless...
What if Soul had already talked to Lord Death about our parents in the past? That means he knows about our parents and what they did...
But they never abused him...
Wait...
Somehow Soul knew about father threatening to abuse me in the past. Because if he didn't, then why did he ask me about life at home nowadays?
Soul clearly knew about me before he left...
When I came here and he saw me again first the first time in who knows how long, he probably saw me as someone he has to watch over. Someone he cant let leave his side...
I really don't know why though...
I'm pretty sure the only reason he's like that is because he knew how threatening father was, and he knew that father had beaten me...
So when he first got to the DWMA a few years back, he might have ended up confessing about what his home life was like.
But maybe he didn't.
Soul wasn't really the type of person to just go around throwing personal business away. Even if it was Lord Death or Stein...or even Spirit for that matter.
I don't think he'd be able to talk to Spirit though. He seems to hate Soul since Soul's always so close with his daughter.
Lord Death could actually know about my home life...its a possibility...a very small possibility as well...
I came here to escape home life and my family. And to become a weapon...and to finally meet my brother.
I'm letting go of that past.
I'm starting a new me...a better, stronger, brave, and bold me...
And if Lord Death or anyone besides me, Soul, and possibly Maka, knows about our past life...so be it.
I'm done with my family back home.
They didn't love me or Soul so why bother.
I suddenly felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me. I gasped and quickly turned around to see Soul..
This brought a smile to my face. "There you are. Why were you wandering the halls by yourself?", he asked and picked me up.
I don't get it...
I giggled and hugged him back. "I was just looking for you", I laughed and he sighed.
Why is he so...
"Well I'm here now. And you're not going off on your own again. You got that?", He asked in a half serious and half playful tone.
Protective...?
I nodded and another giggle escaped my lips.
"So what kind of weapon are you?", Maka asked. We were out at the basketball court after school. Black*Star, Kid, Patty and Soul were all arguing about teams on the court while Maka, Tsubaki, Liz and I were sitting on one of the benches.
"Oh I'm a scythe", I replied shyly. I wasn't really used to being around so many people at once. I guess school was the only social thing I was used to.
That's the old me...
"Really?!", she gasped along with Tsubaki, and Liz. I nodded and Maka paused. "Do you mind if I see your weapon form?", she asked me. I paused for a moment and stood up along with her.
"No not at all", I smiled and she did the same. I smirked with my shark teeth slightly appearing from the corner of my mouth and transformed into a scythe. Maka caught me and the other girls clapped. Everyone on the court stopped to admire my weapon form.
"She looks so cool!", I heard Patty shout. "Just like Soul and with a blue pattern but...IT'S NOT SYMMETRI-", Kid was interrupted by Maka throwing a book towards him.
Where the hell does she get those books from?!
Seriously! They just pop out of no where!
Everyone continued to stare in awe. "You have a pretty cool weapon form. You're so similar to Soul", Liz broke the silence. "I WANNA HOLD HE-" Patty started to yell but Kid quickly covered her mouth and had to hold her back. Maka smirked down at me and I changed back to human form.
Everyone clapped "Very impressive", Maka complimented. I smiled up at her until Black*Star came running over. He picked me up for the second time today and shook me rapidly. "LYDIA YOU ARE FRICKING AMAZING! YOU NEED TO SURPASS SOUL AND BECOME THE BETTER AND MORE POWERFUL SIBLING DO YOU HEAR M-", and for the second time today, Maka gave Black*Star a Maka-Chop...
Note to self: Ask Maka where she gets the books every time she needs them, and learn how to give a Maka-Chop..
Soul walked over to me and stood slightly in front of me. "I will always be the dominant sibling, Black*Star...", Soul implied with a smirk. I smiled and everyone nodded except for Black*Star...who couldn't move his head the slightest bit at the moment.
Soul picked me up for probably the 3rd time today and ruffled my hair. I grumbled as my bangs covered both my eyes now. I looked down and my cheeks turned red. He laughed and I shook my hair back into its usual place. My bangs to the side covering my right eye. Even though he messed up my hair, when I shook it back, it naturally kept itself straight as I liked it.
He gave me a smirk showing his shark teeth, as I did the same. "The devilish siblings", Maka laughed. Soul shrugged. "As long as we looks devilish and creepy...we're still cool", he stated proudly and I giggled.
I suddenly felt a breeze hit my face and it slightly blew my hair a little. I quickly held my bangs in place to keep my right eye covered as the breeze picked up. I shivered a little from the breeze as it turned to gusts of wind. I couldn't let anyone see under my bangs...
Not after that scar...
Soul held me closer to his chest as he looked up at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain soon", he mumbled. I looked up at the sky and from the corner of my eye, I could see Maka tense up. Soul noticed and walked over to her, still carrying me. He kissed her forehead and I smiled softly.
They're so cute together...
"Damn it! My suit is going to get wet! Liz! Patty! Lets get home now...", Kid said in a panic. The two pistols followed him off.
"Ha! Not even rain can make me stop playing basket-", Tsubaki grabbed Black*Star's arm and started dragging him back.
"Come on", Soul said calmly to both of us as he put his arm around Maka's waist, and held me securely with one arm. We started heading back to the apartment. My bags were already brought there earlier today.
Soul opened the door and set me down as he lead Maka in. "I was afraid we'd get stuck in the rain like last time", Maka chuckled. Soul did the same and I raised and eyebrow, confused.
I quickly fixed my hair up again and made sure my bangs covered my right eye. As I looked out the window I saw lightning flashes illuminate the clouds through Death City, and from the corner of my eye, I could spot Maka trembling a few feet away from me. Soul walked over to her and gave her a soft hug. She relaxed into the embrace, enjoying his warmth and comforting nature. "Don't worry about the rain and thunder. I'm here and I will be here for you like I promised. And Lydia's here this time too", he smirked and gestured to me.
Maka looked up from his chest and sniffed. She followed the direction of his gesture and smiled warmly at me. "And she's not gonna let anything happen to you either", Soul added. I smiled back at them and ran over. I hugged both of their waists because I couldn't reach any further up. Soul laughed softly and they both hugged me back.
"Your sister is probably the most adorable child I've ever met", Maka complimented and patted my head. "The most adorable, fierce, beautiful, and the coolest child", he corrected proudly. I laughed at his reply and suddenly the door went flying open.
"SOUL!" was all I heard before the three of us were ripped apart from the hug and Soul was glomped by a woman who had purple hair and purple clothing to match.
Well...I don't know if you'd consider that clothing...
"Soul I've missed you so much!", the woman, who appeared to be part cat, squealed. She pressed her boobs into his face while laying on top of him and that caused an extreme nosebleed. I just stood there, shocked. I didn't know what to do right now but try to process it.
Maka quickly covered my eyes. "You're 7! You don't need to be seeing this", she grumbled and pulled me behind her.
"BLAIR!", Maka's voice echoed throughout the apartment and possibly throughout the apartment building all together. The cat lady who was apparently named Blair, quickly got off Soul and transformed herself into a tiny purple cat. She purred and walked off into the kitchen.
I looked over to Soul and gasped. His nose was still rapidly bleeding and he looked like he was in a daze. "Nii-San!", I exclaimed and ran over to him. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. I handed him tissues and he took them shakily. Maka rambled on about the ignorance of men and walked off to find Blair.
Probably to give her a Maka-Chop...
"Soul are you okay?", I asked and sat on his lap. His nose finally stopped bleeding. "Yeah...but that was totally uncool... especially in front of you. Not a good first impression", he mumbled.
"You're not uncool... in fact you're the coolest guy I've ever met. Your the best brother too", I corrected him and planted a soft kiss on his cheek before giving him a big hug. "I love you Nii-San", I said and closed my eyes.
He didn't hug back at first...probably because he was shocked. It took him a few seconds to process but he ended up hugging me back. "I love you too", he replied back. "Don't forget that".
We stayed like this for a while until Maka came back into the main room of the apartment. "Hey s-", she paused mid-sentence when she saw us in an embrace. She smiled and walked to the back of the apartment and to the bathroom to shower. After a few minutes longer of the embrace, Soul looked down at me to see that I was falling asleep.
He looked out to the window and saw that it was dark outside but still pouring rain. He got up, still holding me, and he carried me to bed. I wasn't completely asleep yet, so I could still feel his Soul Wavelength. It was calm and collected like nothing at all was wrong. His soul was as peaceful as mine right now which was actually quite comforting.
Soul carried me into his bedroom and laid me down gently. He closed the door and plopped down next to me. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. "You're awake", he whispered. I nodded and yawned. "I'm a bit tired though", I yawned and sat up. "Do you think you have any other clothes I can rest in? This dress is getting really uncomfortable",
He nodded. "You can borrow my t-shirt", he said and got up. I nodded as he went to his drawer and pulled out an orange t-shirt and handed it to me. He turned around and I quickly changed into the t-shirt. It went all the way down to my feet and my arms were covered as well.
He turned around and chuckled. "You're so tiny it looks like a gown on you", he couldn't contain his laughter. My cheeks turned red and I laughed as well. He picked me up and spun me around the room. "You're so cute!"
I laughed as he spun me around until I started to get dizzy. He put me down on the bed and kissed my forehead. "I'm gonna go say goodnight to Maka. Ill be right back", he said and left the room for a few minutes.
I laid down on the bed and faced my back to the door. I looked out the window and stared out to the moon. The moon was probably one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. It was cool to look at though.
Soon Soul finally came back into the room and closed the door. Then he plopped down on the bed next to me. I rolled over to face him. I leaned close into his chest and shut my eyes. He put an arm around me and looked up at the sky through the window.
"Please don't leave me for our other family...you're the only one I have left who cares...", I whispered and drifted off to sleep.
His eyes widened and he looked down at me. Soon he sighed and closed his eyes.
"Never..."
That actually gave me feels writing that last part...
Sorry for the short chapter! It's all I could write at the moment and I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer! I always hated waiting for my favorite fanfics to get updated! Especially when it was a fanfic I literally lived for. I'll try not to let the gaps between updates get too far apart from each other!
Thank you guys soooo much for your reviews on the last chapter! Those reviews and favorites are what encourage me to keep writing! Now I'm NOT and absolutely NOT the kind of writer who just begs for reviews and only writes the next chapter off of reviews. It annoys me because it's like they don't even write for their enjoyment...
*coughs*
Anyway! Again I'm sorry for the wait but we all know summer ends eventually.
Please don't shoot me for reminding everyone of that...
But yeah school fricking sucks...so I'll write as much as possible whenever I can!
And whenever I know that there's gonna be a major gap between updates, I'll try to inform you guys at the end of the chapter if I can.
I hope you liked chapter 2!
