"So what are your names?" Blair asked as they walked.
"Hunter," He said, Hunter didn't know why but this person seemed ok.
"Cassie, nice to meet you." Cassie's voice was filled with uncertainty. She could tell that the person before was to be trusted, but that didn't stop her from questioning Blair. The strange purple haired woman, or cat, she still wasn't shore, was leading them down a street lit with lamp posts. There light the only thing guiding through the night.
"So, how old are you guys?" Blair said in an extremely happy voice.
"13," The twins said simultaneously. The two shared a look of happiness.
"Anyway, Blair?" Cassie begun, Blair moving her head in acknowledgment. "Where are you taking us?"
Blair stopped and turned to the pair, a large smile plastered on her face. "Here," Blair held out her arm, pointing to a house standing before them. It looked pretty ordinary, a light lit up a small window at the front of the house, yellow curtains blocking a on lookers view.
Blair smashed open the door and shouted, "I'm home!twins followed curiously, not shore what to expect. They had never entered such a nice place, when ever they tried they were called "street vermin" or "orphanage scum", but this place was nice.
"Welcome home Blair," Said a girl sitting on the couch in the corner. She looked up from the book she held in her hand and gasped as her eyes fell upon the twins.
"Here we go again," They both thought. Hunter and Cassie shared a look before Cassie said, "Sorry for interrupting, were leaving now so," Cassie couldn't finish the girl interrupting her.
"What happened to you two?" She asked. The girl stood and made her way towards the twins, holding up her hands when they moved away. "Blair who are they?"
They girl looked directly into Cassie's mismatched eyes and Cassie got a chance to take in eager full appearance. The girl was blonde her hair tied up in pig tails and she had a set of green eyes that seemed to peer into her soul. The girl had nice clothes and Cassie could tell that when she smiled she was rather pretty.
"Oh, oh. This ones Hunter and this ones Cassie. I found them on gene street." Blair said excitingly.
The girl extended her hand to Cassie, "I am Maka, it's nice to meet you." Cassie took Makas hand in her own and shook it tightly. Maka then moved onto Hunter giving him the same greeting and also extending her hand to shake, Hunter agreeing eagerly.
"But why did you bring them here?" The twins turned to see a rather grumpy looking boy with pointy white hair and crimson red eyes, an annoyed look on it is face.
"Well I thought that you would be able to help them." Blair said, the smile on her face softening a bit.
"Help them with what Blair?" Maka said confused.
Blair moved closer to Hunter and pulled off his old and torn jacket, revealing his weapon arm. The blade was sharp and shiny and as Maka laid eyes on it her face lit up. "It seems that he is stuck, I thought since Soul here is a weapon he could help them."
Maka turned to Hunter reaching out to his weapon arm. As her hand got closer he pulled away, his sister moving as he did. "Don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you Hunter." Maka said in a tone you would use when trying to calm an animal.
She tried to touch his arm again, only this time he didn't move away. As she made contact, Maka felt power pulse through her. It was extremely strong and she felt something inside of her wake slightly. After only a second Maka pulled away, not wanting whatever it was to wake up completely.
"Can you get it to change back?" Cassie asked nervously.
Maka composed herself, breathing in deeply and replacing the smile that had been on her face. "Of course. Breath in and picture what your arm looks like normally. Then project that image into real life."
Hunter did as he was told and a bright flash of light filled the room as his arm returned to normal. A smile spread across his face as it did, "Thank you," He said nervously.
Cassie grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the door. "Yes Thank you Maka, we should be leaving now." Cassie opened the door and tugged Hunter outside.
"Wait do you out guys have anywhere to go?" The albino boy said from across the room. Maka grabbed Hunters wrist when they didn't stop.
"Soul asked if you have anywhere to go tonight?" Maka said. The twins didn't look at her, they just stayed silent.
"You can crash here if you want. We don't mind," Soul said in a relaxed tone while walking towards the small group of people.
"Yay, Hunty and Cassie can stay. Yay!" Blair said excitedly. She jumped up in the air, an impossibly large smile plastered on her face.
"Don't call me Hunty!" Hunter responded angrily. He had finally turned to face them, his face red in anger.
"So will you be staying?" Maka asked once more with a hopeful smile.
Hunter and Cassie shared a look before Cassie said, "Thanks, it would be appreciated." She let a tiny smile slip on her lips and bowed in thanks, her brother joining her.

"So you guys are weapons?" Soul asked putting a blanket and pillow down on one of the lounges.
Hunter had been quiet for awhile, not really wanting to be part of a conversation. But he decided that it would be impolite not to answer and Cassie was in tenge middle of a bath. So hesitantly he said, "Yeah."
"Twins as well. Isn't that pretty rare?" Soul said putting down the bedding on the other lounge.
"Wouldn't know," He said following Soul over to the other lounge.
"Huh? What do you mean? What about your parents?" Soul turned to Hunter giving him a concerned look. Raising one eye brow.
"Wouldn't know." Hunter said bluntly, which told Soul to drop the subject and he did, not wanting to anger his new friend.
"So where are you from?" Soul asked hesitantly.
"Does it matter?"
Ok, different approach. Soul thought to himself. "So tomorrow you will be coming to the DWMA with us."
Hunter looked at soul in confusion, "What's the DWMA?"
"Death Weapon Meister Academy." Hunter just looked more confused. "It's where we go to school."
Hunter sat down on the lounge that he was told would be his bed. "What's school like?" Genuine curiosity filled his voice.
Maka, who had just entered the room, gasped, she couldn't imagine never having been to school. She walked up to Hunter and forced him to turn and face her.
"Are you saying that you have never been to school."
Hunter replied simply, "No, neither has Cassie."
He pointed to his sister but froze upon seeing her. She was clean, her face that used to be a dark brown, covered in a mixture of blood, food scraps and mud, now a light brown and spotless. Her green and white hair flowing down her shoulders and nearly reaching her waist. She was dressed in a simple white shirt that went just past the normal length and a pair of black knee length shorts. Finally a gold chain hung around her neck, bringing out the colour of her left eye. "Wow," Was the only word that he could mutter, not entirely shore that the person in front of him was indeed his twin.
"Um," Soul stuttered, staring at the girl before him. He was speechless, not shore whether he should compliment her or not. "You look amazing," He finally said, stuttering as he did.
"I know right," Maka begun, forgetting about the school topic for the moment. "But she refused to were the shoes." Maka sighed and held up a pair of sneakers. She seemed to be exhausted from bathing Cassie. "I got a question for you two." She said snapping the boys attention to her. "How long has it been since either of you showered or bathed?"
"Thirteen years," the two said together. It appeared that now they were together they had more confidence to talk.
Maka once again gasped, only this time she was joined by Soul. "So you are thirteen and in all your life you have neither bathed or gone to school. Wow you guys must have had terrible parents," Soul said jokingly. The next few seconds pasted in a blear, Hunter had transformed his right arm into a blade and ran at Soul. Before he could respond he had it pressed against his neck a trickle of blood running down his chest. Soul would have already been dead were it not for Cassie holding Hunter firmly by the shoulders. Hunters eyes were wide in rage and his face red.
