Chapter 2: Meeting Lord Death

Rebecca had stopped shaking on the way to the Death Room but still clung to Kid's suit blaizer. As she walked through the room she looked around and couldn't help but feel it all was so familiar. She pushed the thought to the back of her mind thinking it might've been from the bits of her memory she lost after a fall she took in kindergarten.

She also noticed the hallway was just a tight line of Tori with large blades hanging over them similair to a guilitine. She also saw clouds that floated lazily around the sky blue room.

After what seemed the thousandth Guili-Tori she came across a large pedistal with a large black figure looming over a stand up mirror. He turned around slowly then blocky hands fell from the figures sides and he turned towords them completely and said in a goofy voice, "Hello, you must be the sky child!" his mask was very cartoony and his voice and looks rather fit nicely.

Rebecca nodded not wanting to risk her laughing at him.

"Well, would you mind telling me your name? I'm Lord Death by the way, or Shinigami-sama, either one is fine."

"Rebecca, Rebecca Shinemass, It's nice to meet you Shinigami-sama." she tried to say with out giggling to the best of her ability.

"Rebecca? That's a nice name, I'm sure you understand why you're here, right?" Rebecca shook her head, "Oh my then it's your first time Wandering correct?"

"W-wandering?" she gave a slight tilt of her head, "I'm sure it is but I'm not familiar with the term."

Shinigami-sama gave a laugh and Kid interrupted, "What is Wandering, Father?"

The black figure stopped his laughter and looked to Stein, "Just what have you been teaching them?"

The stich-doctor shrugged while the other kids just said in unison with disgust, "Disection,"

Both Rebecca and Shinigami-sama shuddered at the knew found knowledge while Stein gave a creepy, 'you're next' smirk. Shinigami proceeded to explain, "Well now, Wandering is an ability that above average humans can use to travel between worlds, those above average humans are called World Wanderers, I myself happen to be one. Now you said your name was Rebecca Shinemass correct?" Rebecca nodded.

Shinigami turned to an empty area of the room and said in a more serious tone, "Anasta-ram" then a large area of black flames appeared and then cleared to where only a ring of black fire remained. "using the Anasta spell World Wanderers can travel to different worlds, within a certain world, or even just take a peek at a different world. There are 3 different Anasta spells. The original Anasta allows you to travel through worlds. Anasta-ram, the one i just used, allows a sneak peek into the world of your choosing. Then finally Anasta-ryo is to travel within a world."

He closed his palm and the ring disappeared, "Though there are rules. For the original spell, the world of travel has to be known by you whether certain storylines intercept or go their seperate ways. This world is special however, even if you didn't know of us you would still have come here. Because this world is 'The Beginning'."

"Is there a world called 'The Ending'?" Maka asked.

"Yes, no, not really, The world itself isn't named that but it is known as such and does represent it"

"What's it's real name then?"

"Gehenna, more commonly known as Hell..." Shinigami-sam waited for the wave of shuddering to go through the room. "Anyway, Wandering for you should be cinch seeing as though you know most of us already, from one of your anime, am I correct?"

Rebecca tried to remember where she saw them from then remembered her manga collection at home. "Yeah I remember now, I thought this was familiar! This is from Soul Eater right!"

"Correct," he then turned to the other people in the room, while Soul's ego was making the room suffocating, "Don't worry it may be named after our favorite little sythe but the main charactor and important hero role leans more toword Maka." With that, Soul's ego deflated.

"And Gehenna, that's Hell, the demon world, and the place where Rin and Yukio Okumora's biological father lives right?"

"Correct again, I wouldn't be too suprised if you even knew about Reborn-san."

"Reborn? As in the Sun Arcobaleno that was cursed to be a toddler, has a pet memory shape chameleon named Leon, tutor for Sawada Tsunayoshi? That Reborn?"

Shinigami burst out into laughter as he let the info she just randomly spat out sink into the other people's minds. "Reborn would possibly kill you if he heard that much of his identity just throwen out in public!" Shinigami-sama finally had a hold on himself and sighed, "Let's strike a deal, in seven days I'll have my lovely students escort you to Japan to meet with Reborn, and I'll tell him about your being a Wanderer so he won't kill you. Though while you're here, I'll be personally tutoring you on your abilities. Once you get there my duties will be passed onto Johhan Faust V of Cross Academy. He will visit you every so often with a training session, but in the end both of us will determine if you are ready, got it?"

Rebecca nodded with confedince

'This is going to be fun' she thought almost evilly as they walked out of the Death Room.
