A/N Hello everyone, thank you for continuing in reading this. This chapter isn't the best while the next one should be much better. I don't own Noragami or Soul Eater...sadly.
Third Person
Kid sat on the porch still watching the projection, he done so for the past couple of hours and it was nearly dawn. All night Kid had looked up at the moon, still amazed about it having no face and that it was a full moon, instead of a crescent moon. He also spent his time thinking about, the time they would spend in this world.
"It could take the witches weeks, if not months or hopefully days." Kid hoped as he sat alone.
"All this, had to happen right before we started construction on the MWA, I hope Spartoi can make sure it starts." He slightly sulked while saying this.
Kid simply watched the Death Room's projection, imagining when he used it to call his father, his father would appear waving with his ginormous hands, and always commenting on his stripes which at the time would cause Kid to have a melt-down. Kid smiled at the memory of his father.
"I hope I've made you proud Father." Kid said as the sun started rising.
"So you really did stay up all night." Yato's voice was heard making Kid turn around.
"I just realized we haven't been properly introduced." Kid told him
"I'm the Yato God; you can call me Yato." Yato told him.
"Good to meet you Yato; I'm Lord Death the Kid, and I assumed you were a god since your soul is much more powerful than a human's." Kid told him
"What do you mean, by soul?" Yato questioned
"One of the many meister abilities is something known as Soul Perception, which allows me to see someone's soul, also shows me what they are, whether it be a human, witch or god though god souls are new." Kid answered.
"You stated earlier when talking to that weird guy with the screw in his head, regalia are like demon weapons but aren't alive so you can use your this soul perception to see if someone is alive or not." Yato with a troubled expression
"Yes, their souls were much like humans but seem to be missing something, which, even though I don't like saying it, seems to be their personalities. Every living soul has a personality which reflects that of the person so when one dies the soul loses said personality. The regalia souls I've seen so far, all seem the same, nearly like humans but that of dead humans with something extra which I can only describe as a weapon soul." Kid finished
"Regalia or shinki are made from wondering human souls that were murdered or killed in some sort of accident, so most gods take pity and make them their weapons." Yato added.
"Yato, I didn't think you would wake up this early." Daikoku said as he walked out and lit a cigarette.
"Hello Mr. Daikoku, I hope you aren't angry with me after yesterday. I really didn't know I was making it look as though I was flirting with her." Kid apologized as he stood from his sitting position.
"No need to be formal to a skinki, beside if Kofuku says it was nothing than I will believe her." Daikoku reassured Kid
"Well that's relieving." Kid commented
"But if you ever touch Kofuku again, I'll make sure it is the last thing you touch." Daikoku suddenly said putting on a fighting expression and making a scowl which made Yato slightly shiver. Kid could see Daikoku was dead serious and seemed to share a love with the poverty god which went further beyond master and shinki so he simply nodded.
"What are you doing up so early?" Yato asked back.
"I always wake up early to prepare breakfast and get the shop ready for the day." Daikoku answered as he continued smoking the last of his cigarette. The sun was now clear above the horizon and birds could be heard.
"It's a much more peaceful day than yesterday." Daikoku mentioned
"The arrival of our new friend here seems to bring a new horizon." Yato also noted.
"It seems it does." Daikoku finished the last of his cigarette and started heading back inside.
"Daikoku if you don't mind, can I help with breakfast?" Kid suddenly offered.
"It wouldn't be right for me to make a guest, help with breakfast." Daikoku told him
"Nonsense, you offered my weapons and I a place to stay so at least let me help with breakfast." Kid told him as he started removing his robe. Daikoku knew Kid wouldn't give this up so he gave in.
"I'm not entirely sure what Ms. Kofuku likes so I'll leave that to you but I'll help in any way you see fit." Kid told him as he removed his holsters and rolled up his sleeves.
"That's alright, and while we cook dinner Yato-" Daikoku turned to give the calamity god a task only to see he had vanished.
"I had a feeling he would do that."
"We should probably get started." Kid said.
Daikoku proceeded to make breakfast for not only Kofuku but along with everyone else. Kid showed his cooking expertise which slightly surprised Daikoku. After about thirty-minutes, they heard someone coming down the stairs.
"Daikoku~." Kofuku's half-asleep voice was heard. Daikoku turned to see Kofuku in her plaid pajamas.
"I apologize if we woke you, Kofuku." Daikoku told her as he walked over
"Ooooh, rice." Kofuku sighted the steamed rice
"Kofuku, we should wait for everyone else." Daikoku stopped Kofuku making her pout.
"My partners, shouldn't be awake for another few hours. Back in our world they have such high responsibilities and always wake up rather early so just this once, they actually deserve the rest. Besides this is Ms. Kofuku's home so I wouldn't want to take away her breakfast." Kid told them making Kofuku gain her bright smile.
"Thank you Kiddo-chan!" Kofuku yelled as she launched herself at him giving him a hug, similar to how she launches herself to anyone she considers a friend.
"Kiddo-chan?" Both Kid and Daikoku asked one slightly asking with an angrier voice.
"I should be thanking you for allowing us to stay here, so thank you." Kid acknowledged.
Kofuku quickly unlatched herself from him and sat down where Daikoku had already set down a bowl of rice.
"Thanks for the meal." Kofuku said as she put her hands together and soon started eating breakfast.
Kofuku ate happily, her hair messed up from just waking up making Kid once again slightly twitch but calmed himself down as he knew Daikoku would go on a rampage.
"Daikoku come eat." Kofuku told him with a mouth half filled with rice.
"Thank you, Kofuku." Daikoku also sat down serving himself rice along with natto
Kid seeing as he finished dinner went back outside to check on the projection, Stein had stated when they talked yesterday, that it was midnight back in their world, when the sun had nearly set in this world so that would mean there is a time difference between worlds.
"The MWA construction should have been finalized already, but I wonder if the witches are delaying it themselves. I'll have to request a meeting with Mabaa." He thought.
"Morning." Yuki said as he walked down the stairs as well.
"You usually don't wake up this early either." Daikoku remarked.
"I know but that Soul guy doesn't stop snoring." Yuki complained as he yawned.
"His old meister use to complain about that." Kid added
"Wouldn't blame them." Yuki said as he served himself some rice and miso soup.
"Excuse me Lord Death, are you there?" Kid heard Steins voice calling from the projection making him quickly get up and head over.
"Yes, Stein, I'm here." Kid stated as he appeared
"Good morning, Lord Death, I'm here with news of the MWA." Stein informed
This made Kid smile "I assume Maka and the others managed to get the witches' approval."
"As soon as she said Spartoi would be overseeing the operation, the council quickly decided. The construction of the school is scheduled to start today. With the help of the witches' magic, it should be done within weeks" Stein confirmed.
"That is very good news, but I also wish to talk to Maka when she's available." Kid said
"I predicted you would so she'll be coming here soon, last I saw her was at the construction site." Stein told Kid.
"You always seem to know my thoughts."
"After being your teacher for a while, than fighting alongside you, you can get very predictable."
"I guess I do, you however are very unpredictable, when your lesson aren't involved. I still don't know how you managed to get Spirit to move to Europe, I thought he would never what to be the head of a branch that far." Kid recalled.
"I didn't really do anything, Maka helped out, and the big daughter lover Spirit is he couldn't say no to Maka." Stein remembered Maka's slight trick in getting Spirit to leave, that man would really do anything to please his daughter.
"I'm sure you'll be an over protective father once Marci grows up, if you aren't one already." Kid joked.
"I'm sure no boy will come near her if I'm around." Stein said in all seriousness.
"Then I feel bad for any boy who goes near her in the future." Kid smiled. This interaction was common between the two, Stein didn't see Kid as a student anymore, he always held respect but even though Kid is his superior, they still talk rather casually, much like Kid and Soul or Spirit and the former Lord Death.
"Sorry I'm late, Black Star was being annoying…again." Maka stated as she paced into the Death Room.
"You aren't really late, Stein and I were simply reminiscing." Kid stated
Maka looked at Kid and slightly chuckled.
"I haven't seen you look so casual in two years." Maka stated as Kid now looked at his clothing.
"I'll admit, you're right, I have been too formal lately." Kid agreed
"Anyways, why is it you wanted to see me?" Maka asked.
"I wanted to tell you since you don't currently have a weapon partner since Soul is with me, you could either look for a temporary partner, or you could manage the MWA's construction and protection." Kid offered.
"I don't know the first thing about construction and finding another weapon would take time so I'm not the person you should give that decision to." Maka answered.
"Not managing the construction, more like overseeing the workers and Spartoi. You've got to admit Black Star won't stay patient for more than a few hours." Kid said making both Stein and Maka to agree.
"Okay, I accept." Maka accepted
"Thank you than Maka you are now in charge of the construction of the MWA in my absence. Stein I would also talk to Kim or Eureka to arrange a meeting with Mabaa." Kid instructed
"Sorry for interrupting." Kid turned to see Daikoku as he walked up with a recently delivered newspaper in his hands.
"Don't worry you weren't interrupting, we actually just finished." Kid turned back to Stein and Maka who nodded in confirmation.
"Before I go, may I ask if this is one of the regalia you spoke of?" Stein said as he looked at Daikoku.
"Yes, this is Daikoku, he is actually the one who offered Liz, Patty, Soul and I a place to stay while we're here." Kid introduced Daikoku.
"Daikoku this is Franken Stein and Maka Albarn, Stein works at the DWMA and Maka is the leader of my team, Spartoi." Kid explained
"Hello Mr. Daikoku, nice to meet you." Maka greeted.
"Your soul is very interesting, I see what you mean by "not alive yet alive" Lord Death." Stein looked at Daikoku's soul through the projection.
"It's a pleasure." Daikoku greeted with a slight bow.
"No need to formal, Mr. Daikoku, we aren't anybody important." Maka expressed
"You have always been too modest Maka, you should take pride in your accomplishments." Stein told her.
"I guess I've done some impressing things, huh." Maka said as she slightly blushed from the praise.
"We should get going, I doubt Black Star can go without hurting a construction worker or challenging them to arm wrestle or something." Stein suggested
"Yes, we'll be going." With that both walked away going to do what they were told.
Kid turned to Daikoku "What is it you wanted to show me?" Daikoku simply handed him the newspaper.
On the front page was a blurred picture of Kid flying off the building after he fought Bishamon. Kid simply looked at the picture not really seeing anything wrong with it.
"Someone seems to have seen me leaving." He stated
"Gods here are hard to notice by humans, so they haven't had the problem of publicity but now that this picture of you is out there, you'll have to stay low." Daikoku said
"I should be more careful in using my powers but if you can't be seen than how do you run the rest stop?" Kid asked
"If gods have enough prayers, they soon can be seen and take on human identities, like Kofuku and their shinki can also be seen. Gods are original born from prayers, but it could also mean their death." Daikoku explained
"If they lose their worshipers or prayers they die or are forgotten?" Kid replied
"Yes." Daikoku simply replied as he headed back to Kofuku who had already finished her breakfast along with Yuki who was quietly drinking tea. Kid saw Yuki "He couldn't have been older than fourteen when he died." He thought as he walked towards him and sat down
"You and I haven't been properly introduced, Death the Kid." Kid stuck out his arm expecting a hand shake. Yuki looked at Kid with uncertainty "Tell me, where you come from, is it normal to change into a weapon?" Yuki suddenly asked
"It is a very normal thing, the DWMA has hundreds of students who turn into weapons, and I'm sure there are still hundred and thousands of humans scattered throughout our world who have weapon blood, all they need to do is discover it." Kid answered slightly smiling at the power of humans. They weren't weak beings they will always get right back up if ever stepped on.
"Yuki! We have a job." Yato was heard as he landed in the yard.
"Where have you been?" Yuki asked
"Just advertising." Yato simply stated
"So what's the job?" Yuki asked
"Tenjin, want us to head over to his shrine, stating he wants us to deal with the phantoms in the area." Yato turned serious when he stated
"Phantoms, what are they? I only heard Bishamon say it when we were fighting but I never knew what they were." Kid stated
"Phantoms are beings from the far shore or afterlife. They simply come to near shore to cause trouble for humans and that hole in the sky attracted lots of them yesterday and they are still out there." Yato quickly explained
"Let me help." Kid abruptly stated
"It was because of my enemies that brought me here and caused all this trouble, allow me and Soul to accompany you." Kid once again stated
Yato looked at Kid for a moment, than back at Yuki
"The problem you'll have is waking up Soul, unless you decide to use Liz and Patty." Yuki stated.
"I'll let Liz and Patty sleep, Soul has slept long enough besides I need someone here for when someone wants to speak with me, I can let Liz and Patty to represent me while I am gone." Kid stated
"You'll have to be more careful, if people see you again, you could be recognized." Daikoku added as he sat beside Kofuku who simply listened in on the conversation.
"Damn, if only I had my mask. I am sure it came here with me but it must have" Kid grumbled
As if on cue, as if totally by coincidence, Hiyori arrived to the home holding something in her hands that looked very similar to Kid's mask (A/N I know cliché or whatever. I just thought it would be the easiest way to get his mask back.)
"Good morning everyone." Hiyori greeted with a happy smile on her face she stopped when she saw everyone staring at her.
"Good morning, Hiyorin!" Kofuku also greeted from her siting position.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
"No nothing is wrong, where did you get that creepy looking mask?" Yato asked completely not realizing it was Kid's mask.
"Oh well I went back to the shopping center, since it isn't usually full on Sunday mornings, to buy some things so when I was left, I noticed this mask and in truth it reminded me of Kid so I brought it thinking it was his." Hiyori explained.
"Thank you for doing that Hiyori. That is in fact mine so thank you for bringing it." Kid showed his gratitude as he walked over and held out his hand allowing Hiyori to give it to him.
"I have to go the school festival is only a few days away so I have to go." With that Hiyori bowed and walked out heading for her friend's house.
"Still in one piece, and perfectly symmetrical." Kid praised his mask as he placed it where he had placed his robe and holsters.
"I'll be down shortly." Kid headed up the stairs
The group heard some inaudible mumbles than some shifting around the room, more mumbling. About five minutes after Kid and Soul came down, Soul clothing slightly wrinkled and his tie slightly crooked.
"Let's get going." Kid said
"One of Tenjin's shrines isn't far from here so we could walk." Yato stated.
"Can't I have breakfast first?" Soul asked even though he had already sat down and was eating.
"Well we don't have a choice now." Kid remarked.
Soul ate his rice along with some side of miso and Tamagoyaki (rolled omelet). Soul finished his breakfast in about ten minutes.
"Thank you for the meal." Soul thanked Kofuku and Daikoku.
"Daikoku and Kiddo-chan made it." Kofuku told Soul with a smile. Soul noticed Daikoku twitch when he heard Kid's nickname.
"Kiddo-chan?" Soul held back a laugh, Yato and Yuki didn't seem affected by the name since they knew Kofuku and her rather…eccentric personality.
"You find something wrong with how milady addresses people." Daikoku suddenly turned offensive as he scowled Soul.
"No, sir." Soul quickly said as he back away from Daikoku. Soul isn't normally scared of things but Daikoku seemed ready to kill him.
"Let's get going then." Yato told them. Kid put on his robe, leaving his holsters where he had placed them and tucked his mask underneath his robe. He would draw to much attention with a skull mask. The four left the rest area and headed towards Tenjin's shrine. The walk there was mainly Yato giving an explanation on who Tenjin is. Kid slightly knew but it's better to have more knowledge than simple pits and pieces. They soon arrived to Tenjin's shrine entrance.
"Tenjin." Yato said
The god of knowledge suddenly appeared through teleportation.
"You finally got here, I called a while ago." Tenjin said as he smoked his pipe.
Tenjin than noticed Kid and was confused of his odd appearance.
"Who are your friends?" Tenjin asked slightly cautious of Kid.
"How should I explain this?" Yato spoke out loud as he scratched his head.
Kid stepped up "It is an honor to meet you Tenjin." Kid bowed to the god of knowledge. Tenjin was slightly surprised to see this.
"I am Lord Death the Kid, and this is my Death Scythe Soul Eater. We are not from this world, believe it or not and Yato actually saved Soul so I've decided to come and help him deal with these phantoms." Kid explained
Tenjin wore a very serious expression, he was a wise god who has lived thousands of years but he's never heard that before. Even though Tenjin was very doubtful he didn't see any indication that Kid was lying.
"This is a very irrational explanation yet you don't seem to be lying so tell me do you have any proof?" Tenjin asked
"Yes… where are am from, I run a school known as The DWMA where humans who can turn into weapons, much like your regalia, are taught on how to protect the world. My friend Soul, is not just a weapon but one of the most powerful, he's my personal Death Scythe." Kid motioned toward Soul who also stepped up.
Tenjin simply stared at the boy who also had a very strange appearance. He was about to ask him what he meant when Soul shared a nod with Kid. Soul than stretched out his hand as it lit a bright blue light.
Tenjin stared with wide eyes along with his hidden shinki.
Soul arm had transformed into a black and red blade which was split in between by zig-zag like patterns soon enough he was engulfed by a blue light which was now taking the formation of a staff like weapon. The light, now taking a weapon type form, spun in front of Kid he wore an indifferent appearance. Soon enough Kid grabbed the spinning light which now held a more distinctive shape of a scythe, and twirled it between his fingers. Yato and Yuki also looked with interest and amazement.
Kid finished twirling it and propped it on his shoulder causing the light to fade revealing a red and black scythe. The blade was red and black while the staff-like haft was white with a gold ring at the bottom.
Tenjin stood in front of Kid and Soul's weapon form, Tsuyu along with the "Tenjin sisters" appeared, astonished by what they saw.
"You're a god?" Tenjin finally spoke.
"Yes but not from this world. I am the only god back in my world, I am the God of Death." Kid declared. This surprised Tenjin and his shinki, since they have never met a shinigami before.
"You are a shinigami, I've never seen one, and I must say that I am rather interested." Tenjin spoke now removing his pipe.
"Makoto." He stated as his pipe glowed and left his hands, it soon became a young-looking girl.
"Nice meeting you, I'm Mayu." She stated with a bow.
"Do you believe me now?" Kid asked.
"You did put give a good argument so you came to help Yato with the phantoms." Tenjin said
"Yes, Yato saved Death Scythe from falling to his death yesterday so I wish to help and it can also be my fault for all the phantoms appearing at once." Kid told Tenjin
"So you are the people who fell through the hole." Tenjin confirmed
"Yes we are and as of now we are simply waiting for our friends back in our world to find a way to get us back." Kid explained
"You're basically stuck here." One of the Tenjin sisters said.
"In a way yes." Kid confirmed
Tenjin looked at Kid before taking out a five yen coin "Here you go." He stated before tossing to Yato who easily got it.
"Your wish has been heard loud and clear!" Yato exclaimed like he usually does
"Sekki." He stated making Yuki transform into a katana.
"Let's go then." With that he jumped towards the location of the phantoms.
"His weapon form is pretty cool." Soul commented from within his weapon form.
"It is interesting, anyways let's go." As Kid said that his skull jets appeared, they powered up and he flew after Yato.
"Did he just fly away?" Mayu asked
"It seems he did. Our new friend seems to be full of surprises." Tenjin stated genially surprised by Kid's abilities.
A/N Here's another chapter hope you liked it, the next chapter (which should be up later today, if I don't get lazy) Is much better and much longer.
I've actually read more of the Noragami manga and decided to use regalia and shinki.
