I don't own soul eater
Rise of the Staff Meister
Chapter 9
Miley's Partner:
The boy who turns into a staff?
"Mason, my name is Mason Gillette." He slowly sat Miley on the ground. "So she's going to be alright?"
"Yes, she'll be fine. We just need a place for her to rest."
"We can take her to my place. We have plenty of room." He looked at Miley. Stein didn't really know what to think of this boy. He seemed very protective of her though they had only just met. Not only that he turned into a staff. Stein had never seen that before. It was very interesting. He would be never be able to say that Miley was a dull person.
They arrived at Mason's mansion. Stein was impressed. Mason had carried Miley all of the way there. He didn't faultier. He really wanted to make sure she got what she needed. He wondered why the boy wasn't at the academy. He was old enough. Stein decided that questions would come after Miley was lying down in bed.
They where met by a maid. Who stared at the state of their guests. Stein's glasses where cracked and his lab coat was rib in five or six places. Marie was mostly good shape. Her hair was messy but nothing a quick run with a brush fix that. Miley was pasted out and dirty.
The maid called a butler and he tried to take Miley from Mason who refused to let her go. He ordered a room made ready for her and headed toward the stairs. When they arrived at a room it was ready for Miley. Mason laid her down, he pick up what looked like a telephone. Stein couldn't hear what was said. "What is that?"
"Oh, I was just telling my mother I was home. We have these all over the house. Sometimes its hard to find each other." He said. He made sure Miley was covered up. "She would like to me you two." He said cheerily. "Don't worry about Miley, she's safe here."
They walked down a very long hallway. They came to a large parlor. There was a elegant looking woman sitting next to an older version of Mason. Stein kept the fact these people where very high ranking. He would have to be careful when he was talking. The woman stood up and wrapped her son in her arms. "How was your walk?" She looked at the two teachers. "I though you said we have three guests?"
"I did mother, one is resting she isn't feeling very well."
"Oh dear, shall I call Stephanie. She is very good at nursing any sickness." This she has said to Stein in English. Stein hadn't realized they had been speaking French.
"No, she'll been fine. After a nap she'll be back to normal. I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking."
"Ask away my good man." Mason's Father said. "How rude of us. I'm Daniel and this is my wife,Gwendolyn. Please have a seat."
"Thank you. Mason can turn into a weapon, have you considered sending him to the Academy?"
"Yes, but I was going to wait a year. I'm still in school here in France."
"Well you may want to rethink that for Miley's sake. I don't think she could take she would have to wait another year."
"What do you mean? Doesn't she already have a partner?" Mason asked.
"Do you think she would be up on that roof alone? She doesn't have one. Miley has a particular wavelength, I have a theory that she can only with one weapon. She needs you, without you she will go back there depressed. You're the only one she can be with."
Miley awoke and sat up. She looked around the room. She never seen anything so wonderful. The blankets where soft and warm. The room was huge! There was a small patio behind large glass doors on the outside wall. She slid out of the bed and looked around. She couldn't' remember how she got there. The last thing she could remember was that boy. She felt her cheeks go warm.
A knock on the door and Miley said come in. Marie walked into the room with a woman who must have been a maid judging by her outfit. The maid walked over and check her over quickly. "I'm to take you to Master Mason." Miley blinked then connected the name to the boy.
"Okay, lead the way." Miley said. "Miss Marie, where are we?"
"We're in the home of Gillette's. They are a very high ranking family. Mason is they're only son." This shocked Miley into full silence. She didn't dare ask any questions. They arrived to find Stein deep in conversation with Mason's parents. Miley stared at her Professor, she didn't know he could speak French. Then she shook it off. She noticed Mason sitting next to his mother. She stared at him. She felt her neck heat up. Miley had never been so thankful that her neck flushed instead of her face.
Their eyes met. The heat on the back of her neck rose. She loved his eyes. No matter how hard she tired she couldn't look away. What made Miley feel better was that he couldn't seem to do it either. Miley didn't really have many friends her age. Mason would be the first one. If he wanted to be her friend anyway.
Stein had been pulled away for the chat with Mason's parents when Miley walked in the room. She didn't seem to mind in being this large house. To his surprise the only thing she seemed to have put her full attention on Mason. He decided to keep that in the back of his mind.
"So Miley have a nice nap?" Stein asked.
"I feel much better. I thought the adrenaline issue was a one time thing." Miley said sitting down next to Mason.
"No, you'll probably have that forever. You just need a partner willing to carry you home after a fight?"
Mason had a very confused look on his face. He didn't really know what they where talking about. He told them this. Stein noted that even Miley was more important than listen to an elder. He really would have to remember that one. He was more worried about getting her lying down everything else went out the window.
"As I told you earlier, Miley's body can't handle coming down from an adrenaline rush. Her brain shuts down to fix itself. Every time she gets into a fight she is going to collapse afterward. Her partner has to be able accept that responsibility. You are aware of that aren't you Miley."
"Well, I never really thought about that."
"But I am willing to do that! I'll do anything." Mason said grabbing her hand tightly. "If you want to be my partner." He added.
"You want to be mine, I'm weird." She said.
Stein sighed. He would have to explain it to them. Why where they acting this way? He sighed. "You two do know that if even if you don't want to be partners you have to be." Both children stared at him. Stein took the tea that he was offered.
Miley was packing. She didn't really didn't want to leave. She had really enjoyed her time in France. There was a knock on her door. She turned to see Stein. She looked at him. She sat down on the bed. "Was this planned?" She really wanted to know.
"Was what planned?" He asked.
"Mason and I meeting. The fight in the ally, my burn from Excalibur? That man with the strange eye attempts to kidnap me?"
"Burn from Excalibur? When did you go find Excalibur?" He would much rather talk about that then Free the Wolf-man and what he may mean.
"The day before you slapped me." She held up her right hand. "When I tired to grab hold of it, and it burned me and slammed me into a wall. That's why I wanted to leave I thought if I couldn't bond with Excalibur who could I bond with? After you slapped me it became a rallying point for me. Every time I doubted myself I just looked at my hand. Some how I knew he would fit into the burn. I also somehow knew it was a boy. Listen to me ranting. Geez, it so dumb."
"It's not dumb, Miley. You're just saying things you've kept to yourself for a little too long. Also no, none of this was planned, especially the part with the man with the eye." He needed to change the subject luckily for Stein, Miley did if for him.
"What do you remember about my parents?" She asked before she could stop herself.
"Not much, after last year I don't remember much." Stein muttered.
"Last year, what happened last year. I know about the Kishin, but I don't really know any details."
Stein sat down next to her on the bed. He couldn't believe he was about to tell her everything. Well not everything there where things he still didn't remember. "Last year, I went insane for a while. I've lost a great deal of my memory because of it."
The plane ride home was very quiet. Stein was very thankful for that. Miley was very subdued because Mason had come to say good bye. He would be the first plane the next morning but they really did seem to hate to be separated. Stein saw that as strange, there where plenty of teams that left each other alone. He had a feeling Miley and her partner maybe a bit different. Something touching his shoulder brought him out of this thoughts. Miley had fallen asleep.
Stein looked down at her. She seemed so peaceful. If he woke her up she would be annoyed. Stein had a feeling Miley's body had a lot of catching up to do. So he hit the call button for a flight attendant. One hurried over and asked what he needed. She soon returned with the blanket. Stein cover Miley. The whole plane ride was quiet.
He should have known that it would be all down hill from there. Stein arrived in the Death Room. It was going to take a while to tell everything that had happened. Stein noticed a woman talking to Lord Death. Stein knew her, who she was he couldn't really remember.
