AN: Hello my readers, it is the one and only whoever I am. If you don't know my name then you can find it at the top, whether you're reading using the regular site or the mobile site. I know I said that this wouldn't be put up until after the poll, at least I believe I did, been having some memory problems, but this would be the same thing no matter which one was chosen. And I if you haven't voted yet, then I'm just reminding you that the poll is up on the profile, reset so that you can vote all over again.
Eamonn: Please start this off; I'm itching to show my strength.
Me: Someone's battle happy.
Lilith: Can you blame him? We get to see the true power of Eamonn, which we have yet to see.
Me: True, we have only seen him taking down 20 Kishin, so we don't know if that's his limit or not. Or if those Kishin were just weaklings then we don't know if Eamonn was even being serious or not. Oh and one more thing before I forget about it. Actually there are two things. First, the schedule for updates is on my profile if you hadn't checked it out yet. This story was supposed to be updated Wednesday for this story, but something came up and I couldn't write this up in time, despite having the outline for what I wanted to do done. And second, which is actually more important since it just does with this story, is that I don't want to read any dissing about Lilith's weapon form. If they can have pots and lanterns as weapons I think this should be viable for a weapon. If you don't like it please don't review and say something like, "Why the hell did you choose that for a weapon? It's just dumb and stupid." I am not a fan of unnecessary flames, but I will be happy if constructive criticism is used, because who doesn't need it every now and again? So to step away from that for a moment (trying not to use the words anyway other than that to break the addiction that the word), I won't be happy about flames about the weapon. If you got a problem take it up with the Organization XIII. And if you don't get that I just gave a slight hint to Lilith's weapon form. Plus the end of the chapter before also is a slight reference to this, but a very discreet one. So besides that, let's get started with:
Chapter 6
*Eamonn POV*
We both stepped out of the plane that had taken us from Death City to Kyoto. I still wasn't happy that Lord Death had paired us together, but I was given no choice. Besides, it was a new experience fighting alongside her. Lilith grabbed her bags off of the conveyer belt and waited for mine to come into sight. I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. I was still getting used to the time shift and had set my phone for the difference. It was half past noon. Lilith walked towards me with both of our bags in tote. She wasn't wearing the clothes she had worn before, instead wearing a pair of skinny jeans that she rolled up to her mid calf, a long sleeved shirt with snowflakes and raindrops all around it, diamond earrings, and a gold ring on her left middle finger.
I was also wearing different clothes, wearing black sandals, faded out jeans, long sleeved ice blue shirt with a snowman on the front and a reindeer on the back, and a green vest. I still wore my necklace though. If I had left that behind, I wouldn't be comfortable fighting. I grabbed my bags from Lilith and we both headed towards the hotel we had rented until we got rid of the Kishin.
The ride was filled with nothing but strategizing what we should do and a few music quizzes here and there. We got to our hotel, checked in, and went up to our room. It was just like what I thought it would be; two queen size beds, a TV in front of them, a bathroom to our left as we walked in, a desk on the opposite side of the room, a window with an air conditioner under it and a fridge by the TV. Lilith just stared in awe, like she hadn't been in one before. I just set my bags on the bed closer to the window. "So this is a hotel," I heard her whisper to herself while she was setting her stuff down on the other bed.
"I suggest we get some sleep, since we'll be up all night trying to find the Kishin," I told her as she nodded and jumped on the bed and passed out like she was tired. I couldn't blame her, the ride here wasn't all that fun but we couldn't fall asleep. I stared out the window, stifling a yawn that came on. I patted my necklace then laid down and waited for sleep to take me, dreaming of the day before I came to DWMA.
*2 years ago*
I finished packing my bags and loaded the last of them into the cab my dad had called up. He wasn't happy about sending me there, but he and I knew mom wanted it. "Well, I guess this is it," I said as I stretched, preparing for the long drive to the air port. My dad nodded and wished me luck, bringing me in for one last embrace before I went away for who know how long. I was about to step into my cab when I heard a familiar voice.
"Wait, you can't leave yet," the owner said. I turned to see my half brother from my dad's side. He turned 7 just a few days ago, so he was having a grown up feeling. He was only 4'4"with red hair that was so short it could be mistaken for shaved, pale skin, and green eyes. He was still in his pajamas, which consisted of a Hard Rock t-shirt and plaid pants, along with some slippers. "I haven't gotten a chance to say good bye yet." He ran up to me and jumped as high as he could for his own hug. I gladly gave it to him.
"Don't go around acting like I'm gone Ed, I'll be back for holidays," I said as he gave a humph in reply to what I called him.
"I told you, it's informal to call me Ed. I like formalities so please for the love of God our Savior, the Three-in-One, call me Edward," he said as I set him down on the ground. I gave a slight chuckle at his response.
"Sorry Edward, just can't help myself with that sometimes," I said as he reached into his pocket and brought out a white necklace with icicles and snowflakes on it. I was shocked at what he brought out. "What's this for?" I asked him, still too shocked to take it from him despite him obviously handing it to me.
"It's for good luck. I forgot to give it too you yesterday so I thought I'd give it to you before you left," he said as tears started to well up in his eyes. I sighed and accepted the offering.
"Thanks bro."
"No prob. Just make sure you come back. I hate getting all the attention." I laughed at his statement and gave him one last hug before I left for the airport.
*Present Day*
Lilith shook me awake rather violently, nearly throwing me off the bed. "Get up, the Kishin's here," she said as I got up. How she could know that was almost not obvious, had I not looked out the window and noticed the large Kishin outside. I gave her a glance and we both ran to the roof.
"Should we give it some time to attack us, or take it our ASAP?" I asked her as I looked at it. It was as large as a 10 story building, two bear limbs for arms, goat legs, the body of an ox, including the head, and one eye. The odd thing was that it was all black and had strange markings all around it in white. Lilith seemed to deliberate her answer before responding.
"I don't think that he's worth it. How 'bout you?" She asked as I smirked at her response. I interlocked my fingers and cracked them.
"What do you think, partner?" She smirked herself at being called my partner and started to glow blue. She exploded and gathered in my left hand, eventually forming her weapon form as bright as light. I spun it over my head a few times and then brought it in front of me, revealing the weapon form exactly. It always surprised me how she could do this. The Kishin noticed us and ran at us full speed. "How about we do a little dance?" I said as the light died and revealed the weapon: a sitar looking exactly like the one Demyx from Kingdom Hearts used.
I aimed the end at the monster's eye and played a few notes, shooting out 4 spheres of water at it, each hitting dead on and causing it to cry out in pain. I took the opportunity to attack and slammed the base of the guitar into its head and caused it to fall down. Lilith made a groan after the hit.
"You really should stop doing that, it really hurts me when you slam me into stuff," she said as her reflection appeared in the base of the sitar. I sighed at her.
"Yet it works so well against them as well." She huffed at my answer and her reflection disappeared. The Kishin tried to get up but I landed on its torso, delivering a heel drop. I jumped off soon after and shot a few more spheres at it, trying to cover its entire body in water before making my next move.
It took a whole 4 minute song but I was able to get every part of the Kishin wet. Just need to time it right, I thought as I fell towards it. It was disoriented from the sound that I was making (apparently the sitar sent out a sound and soul wavelength combination to use the sounds to mess up his movements) and tried to punch me only to move its neck to the side. I was about 10 meters from the point of impact and prepared my attack.
When I was a meter away I made my move. "Sub Zero Fist," I said as I punched him in the gut, sending my wavelength into the water and freezing him. I simply stomped on him and his body shattered into many pieces. I landed on the ground and put Lilith on the ground as she reverted back to her human form, 'drinking' the Kishin egg. "Did you like that dish served cold?" I asked her. She let out a sigh as she finished.
"Actually I prefer hot usually, but this was actually pretty good," she said with a smile. I smiled back and told her good job. "Well, well, well, looks like you're not saying anything bad about me. Why the change?" She asked with a slightly mischievous smile on her face. I was trying hard not to blush.
"Well, to be fair, you are actually pretty good, so you're no longer a POS in my mind, and one last thing," I said as she leaned closer to hear what I was about to say, bracing myself for a punch if she took it the wrong way. "We need to tune you." As expected, she took it the wrong way and gave me an uppercut with her full force.
"If you don't like that I play flat then go piss off. Sitars are meant to be flat," she said as a little anime blood vessel appeared on her forehead.
"I know that, I meant tune you down. You're supposed to be flat yes, but you're a little bit sharp. I've played the sitar before and I know that stuff." We both continued to talk as we walked back to our hotel.
*? POV, Third*
A man wearing a trench coat and a straw hat that looked like one of those bowls Japanese use for drinking sake. He watched as the two students left, silently laughing to himself. "It seems that the white king and queen have castled. But this game of chess, larger than this, has only just begun. Be prepared, for history shall repeat itself," he said as he walked back into the shadows.

AN: And that is the end of this chapter. Again I say, no flames about the weapon please. I've been playing Kingdom Hearts lately and Demyx is the only one who actually is most interesting to me because he fights using a sitar, which I think shows he's badass. If you can beat a guy using only a sitar and some magic, then you know you're badass. Stepping away from that-
Eamonn: I am here to remind you to vote on the poll if you have not. You have until 10pm tonight to cast your votes, and that's Central Standard Time, so if you're a reviewer from outside of this time zone look it up online or something.
Lilith: And I have a question about something that's going on in the US. There's a new bill coming out that will prevent piracy on the internet hopefully, but what I want to know is if that might affect this website and we'll have to go somewhere else.
Me: I'm not sure, but I do know that if it is passed, YouTube might be deleted as well as some online manga sites since those are apparently putting those up illegally, and to add insult to injury, it is possible that all fanfiction sites might go down because this is stuff concerning copyrighted stuff, so it might be pirating maybe not, I'm not entirely sure. We'll find out later when the local news or talk show talks about it.
Eamonn: So to get away from that, let's see what else there is to talk about… … … Aw here we go. Here you go Ed.
Me: Thanks Eamonn. There was a reference to one of my own stories here, since in my mind at least, all manga/anime are one universe, just separate time frames and/or locations. For instance, you could have, let's say, One Piece. That could be a hundred or so years old, maybe a few decades, and then you continue down the timeline and go to Soul Eater. Or if you have, randomly choosing here, Bleach and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. Both are stories that take place in the same time frame, but they are in separate locations. If this doesn't make any sense to you just let me know and I'll PM you a better explanation since I was up until about 1a.m. writing this for you guys. If you want to know why, I won't tell you. So to get away from it all, Eamonn, say the lines.
Eamonn: You know the drill of reading and reviewing so please do so. We will see you later. So until then, ciaossu.
