Tsubaki's pov
Rain fell from the sky; I could feel every drop of it on my body as ran. I ran as fast I could but something tells me that I won't make it time, but I still push myself, so I can stop it from happening. Then I come to a complete halt. As I witness my fear right in front of me. I see Maka and soul, both making out as soon as I open the door to the apartment. I can already feel the tears streaming down my face, as I whip around run out of the apartment. I can hear soul calling after me, but it doesn't matter anymore. Soul loves Maka and Maka loves soul. His voice is getting closer and closer as he repeatedly calls my name,"Tsubaki! Tsubaki! Tsubaki!"
"Tsubaki, Tsubaki, Tsubaki!" my eyes suddenly flip open to see soul hovering over me. Ugh! Just another dream! "Come on Tsubaki, it's not normal for you fall asleep in class like that. Anyways, lord Death has called all students to the auditorium," soul told me. I shake myself awake, and then stammer, "u-um right soul," why does he have to look so hot. His ruby red eyes, those unusually sharp teeth, and his-"um Tsubaki, are feeling alright." Soul shook me from my thoughts to realize that he caught me staring at him again. Great, now how am I supposed to explain myself to him now,"u-um yes lets go before he starts without us," I stammer again "right, let's go."
We run through the hallway to the auditorium, and then I realize that soul is holding my hand. We finally get to the auditorium I take my seat, but soul just turns around and starts heading the opposite way. I suddenly grab his hand, "wait, where are you going? Sit with me." I ask him. He turns his head and says, "I wish I could by I have to go up on the stage with kid and lord Death, maybe next time." I suddenly feel disappointed and I replie,"oh, go up there and do what you need to do," and with that he whips around and run to the back stage area. Man, I was so close this time. If only he wasn't a death scythe, no wait scratch that, being a death scythe makes him even hotter than he was before.
"Welcome everyone, I have called upon you to announce a state of emergency," lord Death begins. An emergency what could worse than an ordinary kishin or witch attack? "The kishin Asura has revived, somehow with even more power even imagined. I have already sent Sid and Dr. Nygus on a mission to retrieve backup." The entire auditorium grew louder with all kinds of shouts and yells. "what do you mean with more power?" Kirikou shouted. Lord Death looked at him for a moment and then replied,"im not sure. But I have sensed him with a greater amount of power than I did two years ago." Kirikou sat back down and redstar got up and yelled, "all that is bad news, but what can we do about it?""Like I said, I have already sent a patrol to retrieve backup. What you all will be doing are extra patrols along death city and search patrols. Any more questions" he answered.
Then, the front doors slammed open to reveal two figures standing in the door way. Then one of them said, "I have a question, what is this backup you speak of, and why didn't you use two years ago?" then I heard soul yell, "who the hell are you?" then lord Death turn to him and said something I couldn't quite understand, then he said,"ah, Crookedjaw and jingo it's been a long time hasn't it?""That's all very well but you still haven't answered my question." the man replied. "It is not the time to tell you all this but it will all be revealed tonight at the festival." He paused to look around and then continued, "Well, that pretty much wraps this up, have a nice rest of the day everyone" as soon as he finished he turned to talk with soul and kid. I walked out of the auditorium with three questions still lingering in her head. How has Asura revived? Who are Crookedjaw and jingo? And what is this force that there talking about?
*3 hours later*
I decide not to go to the apartment right after school, so just went to one of the balconies, and stared off into the city. Then I feel my eyes starting to close."Tsubaki." I heard a deep voice behind me. I turned around to see soul looking at me, his ruby red eyes filled with concern." Tsubaki, are you alright? You have been acting strange ever since lord Death's announcement.""Y-yes, I'm fine soul I just feel like watching the city from this view. Anyways, should you have already gone home?" I stammer. Dang it! Why does he always have to make me stammer like this? Soul decided to go and stand beside me. "Well normally yes, but ever since the announcement, lord Death has been keeping me busy with the patrols. So anyways, would you like to on a walk with me?" he answered. I just wanted to yell with joy to the world, but I didn't. "Yes, I would really like that." I answered, trying to reply as casually as I could." Great, let's get moving." He turns around takes my hand and heads for the exit. And the first time in a while, I actually feel like there is hope for us.
