Recently, Soul and Maka returned from a mission after encountering the supposed Demon Sword alongside Spirit and Professor Stein.

Soul went into rehabiliation, at the same time I was re-introduced to Death the Kid by Lord Death himself.

(Joy ~P3 OST~)

"Nice to meet you," Aura resisted the urge to run away from Kid, but the way he stared at her literally made it feel as if someone violated her personal space, "Um, is there something wron-?"

"Yes," Kid answered while Aura squeaked as he walked closer to her, "Your frazzled hair, untidy shoes, and unkempt suit are all ASYMMETRICAL! Except for your weapons. The only part of you that's actually symmetrical besides your headphones."

Aura slowly balled her hand into a fist in anger, "You..."

"YOU SYMMETRICALLY CHALLENGED OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDERED JERK!" Aura froze clamping her mouth shut upon her realization.

Ack...I shouldn't have said that.

"You shouldn't have said that," Lord Death repeated.

It's too late, he's going to start his rampage.

Aura noticed Kid's eyes began to sprung a leak as he started pounding his fist to the ground crying, "I am the worst scum of them all. I deserve to rot to death in the streets. Have Liz and Patti toss me out for tomorrow's garbage, father."

Sighing Aura ignored Kid's rant as she turned back over to Lord Death, "Ugh...this freakin crybaby is literally getting on my nerves. Lord Death, can I be excused for now? I was in the middle of my research."

(This Mysterious Feeling ~P3 OST~)

At that moment, Death the Kid stopped his stupidity once Aura mentioned the word: Research.

Lord Death knew of what Aura meant, afterall it was part of what she asked for of him. Her biggest desire, was to return to world, he wasn't going to stop Aura. Her resolution had really taken a shine to him. It wasn't a normal problem, it was a goal in which can't be stopped even by the likes of him, a Shinigami.

"Okay, you and Kid are both excused."

"Yes, sir/ father." The two teens leave the Death Room quietly, by the time they were out Kid demanded from Aura, "Who are you, really?"

"Just a regular bystander that doesn't want to be invovled in any mess," Aura informed as her clear blue gaze shifted over to Kid's golden eyes, "If you hadn't gotten the information yet, you should simply leave me alone. I'm not liable to explain an outsider about my situation unless they know."

Kid clenched his teeth as he watched Aura walk away.

Aurelia's POV

"Who does that jerk think he is," I huffed, "I can see why Black Star was pissed off at him upon the day he transferred here."

Entering the library I greeted the librarian while making my way to a vacant desk to continue my research. After reading the history book Professor Stein forced me to read, I kind of understand what I needed to look under.

Witches and Afreets. Probably someone or maybe more might've been the reason.

"Um, I wanted to see if there's any history books on Witches and Afreets?"

"Let me check if I have any," The librarian was nice enough to know that I mostly borrow the books, it really sad that not many people go to the library unless a written exam was taking place, "Thank you for waiting. I found two books that would gladly be of use to you."

"Thank you so much, sir."

The librarian smiled, "It's the least I can."

As I read through the first book, it explained a little more in detail about Witches compared to the history book.

"The history about Death City is quite in detail, but..."

I can't help it.

It feels as if these were only half-truths being told to the students.

Writing down the notes on my notepad, one person entered the library causing me to lift my head up to see who it was. (Bonds ~P3 OST~)

"Maka? What's up?"

"Well I know you're busy right now, but I just wanted to see you," Maka claimed.

Something felt wrong, Maka didn't seem to be in high-spirited like she usually was.

Worried I tried to get Maka to speak,"Is something wrong, Maka?"

"I-It's nothing..." Maka fidgeted slightly upon noticing my tone.

My eyes narrowed as I remember what Professor Stein told me about what happened to Soul and Maka during their encounter with the Demon Sword Meister.

"I don't think it's a nothing matter Maka," Placing my writing implements back to the desk, "I know it isn't any of my business, but you should trust Soul."

Maka halted her actions as she slowly looked back at me.

"If anything, you shouldn't push yourself into doing too much. From the way I've seen you and Soul together most of the time, it seems to me Soul cares about you."

"But..."

I raised my hand to stop her as I gave her an earnest smile, "Being this depressed all the time is never good, especially you Maka. Smile."

A small smile was shortly lifted on Maka's face before leaving, "Thank you, Aura. Maybe we can hang out some time together whenever you're free."

"I'll take you up on that offer." Giving her the thumbs up.

Death the Kid's POV

Aurelia Reeds.

Her name stuck to my mind even after she left.

"Kid, are you listening to me?" Snapping myself out of my thoughts, Liz called to me.

"Ah, sorry." I apologized, "Something was just bothering me."

"That's okay, just wanted to see if you're alright. You were pretty dazed out for awhile there," Liz insighted about my attitude, "Was it the assistant of Professor Stein?"

I didn't answer Liz's question, as more questions filled my mind.

Who was Aurelia Reeds?

What's her purpose in being here in the academy?

More importantly, what is her research?

"Ah, it's the assistant!" Patti pointed out.

It was true, she was carrying two books as she walked down the perfectly symmetrical steps of DWMA.

Liz and Patty leave my side to go talk to Aurelia Reeds, who seemed surprised upon the sudden meeting, however when she met my gaze Aurelia frowned when I followed behind Liz and Patti.

"You again?" She still had the same attitude as before, "I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to give information about myself today. Sorry. Bye, Liz, Patty, and Kid."

"Bye bye Aura!" Patti eagerly waved goodbye while Liz gave a normal wave.

"She seems mad at you, Kid." Liz muttered to me,"What did you do?"

"Nothing. Probably just hit a nerve," I shrugged, "Now, let's go home."
