SOUL EATER: ~AFTERMATH~
Chapter 2 - A Day of Relaxation... Spend it Wisely?
"... And then she kneed me in the crotch! Can you believe it?" Jake shouted.
"Haha, that's totally uncool..." Soul chuckled.
"I think one of 'em might have popped." he complained.
"UGH! Don't even speak like that! The thought of ruining perfect symmetry sickens me." yelled Kid.
"How can you think of symmetry at a time like-"
"JAAAAAAAKE!" A familiar voice cut him off.
"Looks like she's back for round two." Soul said snickering.
Jake turned around to see Dani in her same old pink winter coat. Dani always wore it along with mittens, long pants and tall boots, no matter what the weather. She stood staring at him with a sort of excitement in her eyes.
"What is it, Dani?" Jake questioned her.
"Professor Stein was so proud of our job last night that he's given us the day off! Isn't that cool?" Dani exclaimed.
"Wait seriously? That's awesome! What do you want to do then?" He asked.
"Well I'm going to hang out with Patty at Death the Kid's house. I don't know what you're going to be doing but you're welcome to tag along!" She answered happily.
"After last night I'm going to try and limit the time I spend with you..." He said with a sick look on his face.
"Oh wah, wah. Are you still mad about that? It was your fault for leaving me out there in the first place. Fine, I'll go over without you. Later!" She told him before running off.
"That reminds me Jake we need to have a chat about Dani." Said Kid gaining his attention.
"What do you mean?" Jake wondered.
"Well, it's just that since she doesn't have a house she spends most of her time at my mansion hanging out with Patty."
"And that's bad because...?"
"I know you have a place of your own. She's your weapon why can't you have her stay with you. She's ruining the sym-"
"Stop right there!" Jake cut him off, "If you say one more thing about symmetry I'll smack the stripes out of your hair."
"Just do something about her always coming over please..." Kid slouched.
"I'll leave you two to figure this out. I'm going to go find Maka." Soul said beginning to walk away.
"Okay I'll deal with it as soon as I can Kid. Just put up with her for a little while longer." Jake reasoned with him.
At Kid's house Patty and Dani were hanging out in his dining room. They were going around secretly moving objects just slightly enough to not be noticed by any normal person but surely would be spotted by such a neat freak as Death the Kid.
"That was a lot of fun!" Dani said with a happy look in her eyes.
"Yeah, I'll be sure to let you know how Kid reacts! It'll be priceless." Patty was giggling.
"Ugh!" Dani groaned tugging at her coat.
"What's the matter?" Patty asked.
"It's just... I've been wearing this for like two days and I still haven't taken a shower. I don't know about you but I worked up a sweat moving all those things." Dani whined.
"You could always use our shower! Death the Kid has it set so the water is just the perfect temperature! Then you could wear some of my clothes until yours are dry." Patty suggested.
"Oh no... I can't do that... I... um..."
"Nonsense! It'll be fun you can take some of my duckies and stuff" Patty interrupted her.
"Um, I think those are for baths not showers." Dani tried to correct her.
"Blah, you can play with them at anytime. LET'S GO!" Patty said pushing Dani towards the bathroom.
"I guess... maybe." Dani said surrendering to Patty.
Back at the academy Jake wandered into Stein's class. He was sitting in his swivel chair apparently writing something. Jake tried to walk up quietly behind him and almost screamed when he spoke.
"What are you doing here, Jake?" Stein asked.
"AH! Uh... nothing, it's just... Dani said you gave us the day off?" Jake asked suspiciously.
"Oh... yes. I was very pleased with your results on hunting the spirit of Edward Gein, but it's a good thing you're here." Stein explained.
"Why is that?" Jake questioned him.
"It seems that a large group of souls had gathered in one area then disappeared all at once. The only one left is too hazy to get a read on... I want you and Dani to go check it out. That is if you don't mind me taking away the time I gave you off." Stein told him.
"Not at all! I'll go get Dani. She's at Death the Kid's house so it'll take me a minute, but we'll be done with this mission in less than twenty minutes. You can count on us!" Jake replied to Stein.
"Good to hear... if you aren't back in twenty minutes I'll start to worry." Stein joked.
"Haha, very funny!" Jake retorted running out the door.
When he arrived at Kid's mansion Dani was no where to be found. He saw Patty sitting on the floor coloring in some of Death the Kid's books.
"Hey Patty, have you seen Dani? We have a mission." Jake asked her.
"Huh? Oh yeah! She in the room down the hall and to the left. Third door down." Patty said without looking up from her coloring.
"Thanks Patty." He said following her directions.
He walked towards the door and opened it without thinking. On the other side was Dani who had just finished putting on some of Patty's underwear. When she saw Jake she screamed.
"AHHHHHH!"
"ERP! I'm sorry! I Didn't know you were-" Jake tried to explain.
"GET OUT! GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!" She said throwing bottles of shampoo and soap at him. One hit him right between the eyes causing him to fall backwards.
"Ow..." he groaned.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" Dani asked rushing over to him.
"Yeah... I'm fine, but..." He seemed embarrassed.
"'but' What?" She said.
"You're... um... is that, Patty's underwear?" He asked looking away. She paused for a moment then screamed and hit him in the face with the same bottle as before.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME! I'M HIDEOUS! YOU PERVERT!"
Once her clothes had dried and Jake was finally able to explain the mission to her she seemed almost relieved.
"That's good. I was starting to get bored rearranging Kid's paintings anyway." She told Jake.
"Well then let's go." He said as they headed out the front door. "We don't have any time to waste..."
