A.N: Hey I'm back with a totally rockin' new chapter! I hope it turns out well; it's my personal favorite (so far). I wrote this directly after the first, so I was running low on writing energy… so it isn't that well written. THANK YOU MICROSOFT for making Microsoft word. With out it, I wouldn't be able to spell, correct grammar, or make it look pretty! Well, I need to stop babbling on about how much this program rocks…

Chapter 2

"Kotai, you are wanted in the Death Room." Professor Stein told me as I walk into class.

"Oh… Okay…"I turn around sighing, knowing it's about how I haven't got a partner yet, even though it has been a month since I enrolled.

Every time someone finally gets past my looks, the second they hear that I'm a witch, they make some sad excuse and leave. The last request I got was a week ago. They're probably going to kick me out for wasting their food or something.

I look at the sharp blades hung above my head as I walk down the hallway to Lord Death. I stop and bow at the reflection of Death in his mirror, and then I glance at the other person here. Oh, another request.

"Kotai, this is Kizuato." Death explains. I examine the cheerful boy. He's about my age, maybe a bit older, with neon red hair a little bit shorter than his chin. He's taller than me too, but it's his face that interests me. Average nose, wide goofy grin, but that's where the normal stops. His right eye is a bright green, but his left eye is purple and black swirled. A long jagged scar also runs from the center of his forehead, though his eye, and ends just below his cheek.

"Call me Ato!" he says very friendly. I'm surprised at how my looks don't seem to faze him.

I sigh, knowing this is there part where he'll run away in terror. "I'm Kotai. Half weapon, half witch." I say in a flat tone. He's speechless, of course. I start to turn around, but his voice stops me.

"So, wanna be my partner? You need one; I need one, so we might as well." I stare at him with my mouth wide open, reveling my fangs. Now I'm the speechless one. He holds out his hand, but I just stare. I somehow summon enough strength to lift my hand to shake his.

"I knew it would happen eventually, Kotai. Congratulations!" Death says in his cheery voice. I look toward the door as the bell rings, signaling schools out.

"So, can I come over to your place?" he asks as if we've know each for years instead of just seconds.

"Um…I don't exactly… have a house." I say embarrassed.

"Oh… well… you could always stay at my house. Now that we're partners." I just give my head a slight nod. He half sprints away and I quickly chase after him.

I'm laughing so hard because I didn't realize that you tube was playing a episode of soul eater and I guess the beginning was quiet because the 2nd intro came on REALLY loud and scared the crud out of me. I guess I forgot to hit pause. Well, just wanted to share that bit of my forgetfulness with you.
