Chapter 4: The End of the Week

Soul and Maka looked into the clearing as Rebecca was finishing with her last day of training. In only a week the girl had wormed her way into their trust and they still didn't know how. Even when Shinigami-sama explained it to them.

Rebecca was sitting in front of three candles with a bag of millions more off to the side. Her eyes were shut and she was meditating.

"What do you think she's doing?" Soul asked his partner in a whisper.

"I'm, not too sure but Lord Death said it might be best to stay away while she's training." Maka pulled in a shaky breath, "Soul maybe we shouldn't-"

Suddenly Rebecca's eyes flew open and she shouted, "OBLIVION!" while throwing her arm in front of her in a similar way to casting Anasta. A black flame shot out of the wicks of the two end candles fiercely and lost control. The flames grew until the all the candles burned away and was raging in the middle of the clearing.

Rebecca's eyes grew wide as she backed away from the flames.

Maka and Soul merely watched in horror as the two of them were already entranced.

"Release Oblivion," A voice near Rebecca said calmly.

The hidden pair of individuals looked to see a boy with an orange parka with brown fur and orange sweatpants standing over Rebecca.

He gave her a wallop over the head then pointed to the now dirt area, "Again, With control this time." he said in obvious annoyance.

Rebecca rubbed the back of her head then walked over to the bag, pulled out three more candles and started the process over. Maka looked at the boy and squinted, looking at his soul. His soul was a slight bit larger then Stein's and was covered in bandages, but had an aura of confidence and hope.

Kenny watched the black-haired girl delve deep into the recesses of her mind, trying to tame the Oblivon flames. Then he turned over to the bushes where Soul and Maka were at. The girl was looking at his soul. "Like what you see?" Kenny said with a snicker and smirk.

Maka blushed furiously and shot out of the bushes, "SH-SHUT UP!" Soul merely shook his head.

"Calm down, Maka he's kidding with you." Soul scolded.

Kenny laughed, "It's best you two head out, Rebecca is learning to control the Oblivion flame, so far the only progress she has is summoning it."

"What else is there?" Soul asked curiously.

"Control," Kenny said darkly, "The Oblivion flame is different for each Wanderer, the harder it is to tame has different results. Either the person was never supposed to become a Wanderer and did on accident, or the flame is too strong and needs to be dealt with a little at a time." Kenny sighed, "Though once she gets to Mephistos he'll be able to help her more. I'd come with but my brother and sister might want to come along too, plus, I'm broke."

"OBLIVION!" Rebecca tried again only to have a small furl of black flames appear for only two seconds then vanish. "STUPID GODDAMN FIRE-THING! STOP MESSING WITH ME YOU MOTHA-FUCKA!"

Kenny chucked to himself as Rebecca picked up a candle and threw it at a tree. While Soul and Maka stood pondering her sanity.

"Yo, princess! Might want to start packing for Japan soon?" Kenny shouted as she was preparing to shatter yet another candle. She breathed in calmly then out and smiled sweetly.

"Of course, you're right Kenny!" she skipped away leaving Soul and Kenny passed out on the ground in a pool of their own blood.

It only took her about 15 minutes to pack and once Soul and Maka came back she gave them a huge hug and asked what they were doing while she was training.

"Uh, we were doing our own training." Soul said realizing while she was focused she literally tuned EVEYTHING out.

"So should we go get the others too?" Rebecca asked.

Maka nodded, "Soul, you go get Kid, Rebecca and I will be fetching Black Star." The group nodded to each other and separated to go find the others.

:)With Black Star and Tsubaki(:

Over at Black Star's apartment Tsubaki was silently reading while Black Star was running laps around the room.

"AGGGGHHHH WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE!" Black Star yelled.

Tsubaki sighed and closed her book as she held a frying pan to his face's height in his path. Tsubaki may put up with him but when he's like this it's best to tie him down. So she's more or less being more merciful then normal.

"They'll be here to pick us up soon, for now just..." Tsubaki looked around for something for him to do. She spotted a pencil and paper, "Write the rules of an assasin 30 times each!"

Black Star scoffed, "That's stupid and boring."

"If you figure out how to write them on the line blindfolded your hand-eye co-ordination may improve~" she sang. Black Star twitched.

"I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE, TSUBAKI!" he shouted then began to work blindfolded.

Tsubaki sighed just as the door bell rang and Black Star had already opened it. Tsubaki sighed yet again. When working with a hyper-active ego-maniac she needs constant days off.

"Are you guys ready to go?" Maka asked, looking past Black Star at Tsubaki.

Tsubaki nodded tiredly.

Black Star and Rebecca held their hands and pumped them into the air, "Then let's go!" they said in unison.

Maka and Tsubaki tried questioning their sanity, but of course they almost lost their own.

:)With Liz, Patty, and Death the Kid(:

Kid had just started fixing his room into it's symmetrical form that helped him sleep at night. Liz and Patty were waiting right outside his room when Soul showed up. Patty hopped up and Liz just stared at him.

"Soul! You probably should've waited a bit, Kid only just started his room." Liz said.

"Oh I'll fix it." Soul walked into Kid's room and shut the door. All they heard was a loud horrified scream from Kid and crashing. Then Soul walked out dragging a petrified and foaming at the mouth Kid behind him. Liz and Patty looked in the room that was normally very neat and clean to see it trashed and unorganized. They shuddered and followed the two boys.
