Well, here is the next chapter! Enjoy!


Also, the bolded stuff in italics is me, people. Just so you don't get confused. ~Scarlett


.:Scarlett's POV:.

I was about to hit the ground when I was caught by a pair of strong arms. Dazed, I couldn't make out who had caught me. I felt a small jab in the side of my neck. Before I passed out I heard someone nearby say, "Mrs. Phantom is going to be happy that we finally got her daughter back." (I thought we were only going to add two OCs...)


.:Kirito's POV:.

When I woke up, the room was empty and there was something in my hand. Looking at it, I saw it was a note from Scarlett saying: Went to get the final Kishin soul. Will be back soon.

Quickly getting up and ignoring the pain in my back, I ran out the door and to Big Ben. When I got there I saw a Blue soul floating next to a body of a girl. Well, what looked like a girl anyway, since it's a bit hard to tell when a body is all over the place. Quickly making sure that wasn't Scarlett, I looked around to try and see if she was any where near me.

I looked for about an hour but didn't see anything. I then decided to call Lord Death. Hopefully he could help me find Scarlett.

"42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on Death's door." I said, after breathing onto a window, hoping I got the numbers correct. The window started to ripple like water when you throw a rock into it.

"Hey hey hey, how's the mission going?" Lord Death asked.

"Well... The mission itself went well, but we did kind of blow up Big Ben, so that happened," I said, and before he asked how, I quickly started talking again. "But we only got two of the souls and Scarlett when back to find it without me, there is also a blue soul here floating above a flattened body, but the main problem is that I can't find Scarlett anywhere."

"Whatever you do, don't touch that soul. Go and wait in your hotel room. I'll send someone to help you," Lord Death said in a serious voice before walking out of the sight of the mirror.


...Sometime later...

After pacing back in forth for what seemed like hours, I heard a knock on the door. Quickly opening it, I saw Kid, Soul, Maka, Liz, and Patty all standing in the small hallway. After putting back on my shoes again, we quickly left to go back to Big Ben, where the dead girl was. Kid took the soul and somehow sent it back to Lord Death, then looked around to see anything else out of the ordinary.

Not finding anything, we walked down the limestone stairs one last time and decided to search the ground outside the tower.

"What's this?" Soul walked back up to the group before showing us a small patch of cloth that he found on the ground. I was the last one to see it, but when I did I instantly recognized it. After all, the symbol on it was pretty unforgettable.

"Crap. This isn't good," I said handing the patch back to Kid. "That's the patch people that work for Scarlett's mother wear. In other words, she's probably kidnapped by those people."

"Why would someone kidnap her own child?" Maka asked.

"Well, Scarlett's mother didn't approve of her going to the DWMA. It was her father that helped her sign up and everything," I said, "so she probably wants her child back and... kidnapping was the only way to do it."

"That sounds so uncool," Soul commented, leaning up against the building.

Looking around, I saw tire tracks on the ground. "I think this was them... Meaning we need to get a car or something to go after them."

"I might know where we can get some," Kid said before turning around and walking off. "Follow me."

When we got to where Kid was taking us, I couldn't help to notice the Shinigami skull on the wall and asked, "Does the DWMA have car places all around the world?"

"Yep, now hurry up and find a car. We will need to hurry to get Scarlett back," Kid stated before walking into the large garage.

After about 5 minutes of looking around, I saw a beautiful blue and black motor bike. Deciding to get that one, I looked for Kid so I could ask what we do now.

"Easy, I will follow the trail that Scarlett's soul left and we will find her that way," he said before summoning his flying skateboard. "And I hope you like the car that you chose cause it's yours for missions now."

Hopping onto the bike, I slowly made my way out of the garage and started to follow Kid, with Soul and Maka next to me on a bike that look just like mine but was a different color. Liz and Patty were in a Jeep behind us... with Patty driving.

A couple of hours later, we had to stop for the night because Kid needed to find Scarlett's soul again. Thankfully, Patty hadn't done anything to the car, though that was probably going to change tomorrow.

"Hey Kirito, you're in charge of making the fire and gathering wood," Kid said while telling everyone their jobs for the night.

My face lit up at the mention of fire, but getting to make it was even better. (Yes I'm a bit of a pyromaniac. A bit? I think it's more than a bit, Kirito.)

After about twenty minutes, we had a fire larger than the rock we were camping under.

"When I said make a fire I meant a small one for cooking not a huge bonfire!" Kid yelled after he came back to camp with a few fish for diner.

"I'm sorry, but it's not my fault you told a pyromaniac to make the fire!" I shouted back looking into the flames.

Kid just sighed and told me to turn into a dagger.

"Why? We don't have any enemies around to fight," I said while tending to the fire.

"In our hurry to save your meister, I forgot to pack a skinning knife so I need you to transform to cut the fish," he said, like it was perfectly reasonable to use me to cut the fish.

"Be happy this isn't the first time this has happened to me," I grumbled before turning into a knife and landing in Kid's hand.

After dinner, Kid and I put out the large fire, since all the girls and Soul asleep. Kid decided to turn in for the night, and I followed suit. Before falling asleep I whispered, "Why didn't you wait for me Scar?"


So here's the chapter! It's kind of a two part chapter so I will be writing the next one as well. Since he couldn't make it one chapter, apparently. :P

Don't forget to review! Your comments help us with the story.


And, for the first time ever, Kirito put author notes at both the beginning and the end of the chapter... HAS THE WORLD STOPPED SPINNING?
