a/n: Yes, little101! This is taking place after the whole Medusa thing and Crona is good, but he's still that shy and timid guy. (confused of which gender Crona is because in the manga, I believe, Crona is female? And in the anime Crona is male...I think. I may have it backwards though. But since I'm not entirely sure which it is, I'll only add Crona if someone can tell me if Crona is a guy or girl. Plz and Thank You!)

Souta was roaming around Mizuki's mansion and he finally stumbled upon her study, remembering her always telling the him not to enter it no matter what. So, being the mischievious boy that Souta is, the young teen quickly looked to his left then to his right to make sure that no one was watching him, and finally entered the forbidden room.
"Whoa." Souta awed as he looked around the large room that held different sorts of framed degrees and certificates on the walls, the expensive furniture, and large desk at one end of the room. "Just what does Choshi-chan do for a living?" The raven-haired boy murmured questioningly to himself quietly.
Then, all of a sudden, Souta heard something thumping against the door a little to the left of Mizuki's desk. "What the...?" Souta tilted his head to the side then walked over to the thumping door and openned the door and the expression of horror sprang to his face as he fell backwards onto his butt on the floor.

Death City: DWMA: The Gym...
Maka grunted as she and Soul were knocked back by Mizuki.
Apparently, Lord Death had told Mizuki about the whole Medusa thing and had asked if Mizuki would be willing to show the students how to handle their weapon partners (In weapon form.) properly and teach them how to fight in hand-to-hand combat and Mizuki had accepted.
"All right, Maka. I think that's enough for today." Mizuki said with a cheerful smile at the young meister.
"But Sensei..." Tsubaki said quietly. "If we finish with this now, then what will we have to do during the remaining class time?"
Mizuki "hmm"ed while tapping her chin gently.
"How about I answer some of those questions you all have been trying to ask me?" Mizuki suggested and all of the students nodded in agreement. "Okay then, one of the first questions I remember being asked is what I had done for a living before coming to the DWMA."
Everyone remained quiet as they waited for Mizuki to continue.
"Hmm, let's see." Mizuki thought out loud. "Ah, yes. Believe it or not, I used to be, and still kinda am, an assassin to be hired but both human and youkai to do many jobs."
"Such as?" Kid wondered out loud.
The P.E. sensei shrugged. "Many sorts. I would sometimes be hired to gather information that would seem difficult to most to obtain. I would track down and spy on someone, and on very rare occasion, I would be hired to kill someone."
Everyone stared at their sensei in shock. To them, Mizuki didn't seem the type to murder anyone much less hurt them.
Here stood in front of them was a woman dressed in a casual purple long-sleeved t-shirt and a mid-thigh black two-layered skirt and knee-high black leather flat-heeled boots.
"Wow." Maka muttered to herself and Soul completely ignoring her and only looking at the DWMA's newest addition, Kagome Higurashi.
"Do you have any syblings, relatives?" One of the students asked Mizuki, who nodded in answer.
"Who though?" Another student continued.
"Well, Lord Death is my oji, Kid is my cousin, and my imouto is the new student here, Kagome Higurashi." Mizuki continued on with the questions that her students continued to ask her for the remaining time of class, all the while Soul's crimson eyes were somewhat wide when Mizuki had said that Kagome was her imouto and wondered if she would be able to tell him any of Kagome's interests. Having tried to ask Naomi who knew absolutely nothing about the girl other than that Naomi had recently removed, and replaced with different ones, his crush's memories of a previous two-timing jack-ass.
Twenty minutes later...
Ring...Ring...
The bell telling the students that it was now time to go to their next classes and everyone, except Mizuki, got out of their seats and left to go to their next classes.
Except Soul was the last student to leave, seeing as he wanted to talk to Mizuki before he left.
"Uh, Death-sensei?" Soul said in a nervous voice, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"Hai?" Mizuki looked up from her cell phone and to the white-haired weapon-boy. "Can I help you with something, Soul?"
Said teen nodded.
"Well, what is it?" Mizuki tilted her head to the side in question.
"Well, you know how that dance is in a couple of days?" Soul asked and Mizuki nodded and Soul continued. "I wanted to know what were some of the things that Kagome likes."
"You want to ask Kagome out to the dance?"
Soul blushed and Mizuki chuckled, agreeing to help the nervous teen with Kagome. Then hurriedly shooed him out of her classroom, telling him that he better get to his next class before he's late.
As soon as Soul was out of Mizuki's classroom, the woman leaned back in her chair. Thinking about a certain gray-haired man's question that he had asked her earlier in the evening.
"I wonder if I should go with Stein to the dance. Should I?" Mizuki whispered to herself, then returned to what she was doing before Soul interrupted her.

Next day in Death City: The DWMA: Lord Death's Room...
Mizuki tilted her head at her uncle in curiousity as she waited for his answer to her question.
"Please, Oji-san? Can Spirit please come hang out with me and Stein for a while?"
Lord Death "hmm"ed, then reluctantly nodded to his mei (niece), who squealed in excitement as she launched herself over to Spirit and hugged him happily, then thanked her Oji. Then, finally leaving the room with her two best friends to go hang out with them, to make up for the time that Mizuki had been gone from the DWMA.
"I can't believe that Lord Death actually let you get me out of the academy today." Spirit said in awe and somewhat shock to Mizuki, who was chuckling lightly.
"I know, huh? I didn't think that Oji-san would allow it either, but here we are. Out on the quiet streets of Death City." Mizuki looked up in the sky. "And with that creepy-ass sun looking down at us..." She continued with a light frown.
Stein chuckled and Spirit snickered, remebering when Mizuki first arrived in Death City she had almost screamed in fear from the creepy-looking sun in the sky during the day and the just as creepy-looking moon at night. The young assassin only stayed at the DWMA for about a year and a half before breaking the news to Spirit and Stein that her baby sister and younger brother were having some financial troubles over in Tokyo. So Mizuki left the DWMA with her weapon partner occompanying her along the way to go and find a way to go and help her brother and sister, only to find out about 3 days after returning to Tokyo on a morning (a/n: Kagome's 15th birthday.) that Kagome had disappeared, told by Souta. Considering Kaori absolutely refused to speak with a "murderer" even though deep down she knew that Mizuki had done it in self-defense.
"Anyway guys." Mizuki smiled at the crimson red-headed Death Scythe and the gray-haired mad scientist. "Where do you wanna go first?"
Spirit smirked at the inky-black, and dark purple highlighted, haired woman who arched a curious brow to the perverted Death Scythe.
"I know, how about to that place where I caught you and Stein neckin' it."
Mizuki and, surprisingly, Stein blushed furiously at the memory.
"Spirit!" Stein and Mizuki shouted at the Death Scythe before they both smack him, hard, in the head. Then proceeded to walk down the street, leaving a very unconcious and thoroughly beaten up Spirit, bleeding from his head, on the ground.
It was quiet for the 20 year old woman and the 28 (a/n: I think that's how old Stein is...) year old man somehow got into the topic of the upcoming dance in a couple of days.
Mizuki chuckled. "Yeah, one of my students came up to me earlier and asked if I could help him ask Kagome if she wanted to go to the dance."
Stein arched a brow, neither noticin that Spirit had caught up with the two, being the idiot that he is, and started saying something about Mizuki's strike had hit him harder than she used to hit him and thus naming it...
SMACK!
And down goes Spirit and Mizuki was dragging the poor idiot by the collar of his shirt as she and Stein continued to catch up on the times that they lost before Mizuki left.

Mizuki's House...
Amber eyes shot to the door when their owner felt an unfamilar youki approach and the young girl could have sworen that her okaa-chan's kage were mixed in there as well.
"I wonder who's here." Yana thought to herself as she quickly, but quietly, pulled out the handgun that Mizuki had told the little hanyou girl to use only in case of emergencies.
KNOCK...KNOCK...
Yana shot to her feet just as Shippou entered the living room and quickly answered the door to reveal a man with long silvery-white hair, amber colored eyes, and dog-like ear placed on top of his head that twitched out of random.
Yana pointed her okaa-chan's gun straight at the unknown man's head and bared her fangs in both anger and irritation.
"Who are you?" Yana questioned him. "And what do you want?"
"Yana." Shippou looked at the little girl with something of regret in his green eyes. "Give me Mizuki's gun and go back into your bedroom."
Yana just stared at her oji weirdly.
Her go back into her bedroom with someone that she doesn't know enters her home? No way.
"No. I'm not going to. Shippou-oji-san...who is this man? Why does he have some of okaa-chan's kage in him?" Yana demanded, glaring at the kitsune that she had come to know as family. "Answer me damn yo-"
"What the fuck are you doing here, Dog-boy?" Mizuki growled almost youkai-like from behind Inuyasha holding an unconscious Miroku by the back of the collar of his shirt. Mizuki's clear purple eyes now a solid dark color and the white parts of her eyes were now jet-black.
Shippou stared at Mizuki in still-shock fear, knowing he was about a breath away from being killed by his "Okaa's" nee-chan all the while Yana had a devilish smirk firmly placed on her face. Even though the little hanyou girl wasn't related to Mizuki by blood, the little girl sure would remind anyone of her adoptive okaa-chan.
Mizuki's dark eyes glew and Inuyasha was thrusted into the wall by an unknown force. A large hole in the wall thanks to Inuyasha.
The woman turned to Shippou with a death glare and his body soon was surrounded with black and the kitsune was thrown into the wall not to far off from where Inuyasha was currently.
"You treacherous little fucker." Mizuki snarled. "I allow you to come into my home, take care of you, train you to fight and become stronger, and this is how you repay me? By letting in the very bastard who not only tried to kill you and kick you out of his home, but you let him into mine?" Mizuki tilted her head, Miroku now dropped onto the floor of her living room rug and Stein and Spirit staring wide-eyed over at Mizuki...recognizing the unsettling pattern of her aura as none other than a witch.
"P-please, Oba-san."
SLAP!
Shippou's head snapped to the side sharply, neither he nor Mizuki noticing that Yana was now walking outside with Stein and Spirit. Both men obviously knowing the wrath Mizuki possesses and didn't want the little girl to see it.
Seconds passed and the cursed miko and the kitsune turned to Inuyasha when they heard coughing...obviously Mizuki's kage were reacting to her anger and were causing the inu hanyou pain, also coughing blood.
Mizuki rolled her eyes, her aura and anger calming down, not wanting to kill Inuyasha in her nice clean house, but she already but two holes in her wall...
"Both of you, grab the pervert and get the fuck out of my house and out of Death City. If I so as much as see either one of you or Sango, Sesshomaru, Rin, or any of the people that Kagome met in the Fuedal Era. Don't think that I won't hesitate to kill either of you." Mizuki's eyes returned to normal, snapping her fingers and both Inuyasha and Shippou were placed on their unstable feet and the walls were intantly repaired. "Now go."
Shippou bolted for the door, running to the safest place that he knew of and to the person he knew would keep him from Mizuki's wrath.
Lord Death himself.
Inuyasha, however, reluctantly left Mizuki's house and walked in the same direction as Shippou had run off in.
"Okaa-chan?" Yana's voice called out to the now calm assassin, who "hmm"ed in reply. "Why did you let them live? That's not like you."
Spirit chuckled at the little girl and gave her a gentle pat on her head before recoiling his hand to his chest when she growled at him unexpectedly, mumbling something about not be treated like an inu.
Mizuki shrugged. "I didn't want my carpets dirtied." Then walked over to the now conscious monk. "Get up Miroku and get out of my house before I do more than beat the living daylights out of ya."
Miroku nodded and wobbly stood to his feet and left through the door, following after Inuyasha's youki.
It was quiet for a moment before Mizuki turned around with a smile and she clapped her hands together once.
"So! Ignoring what just happened. Let's continue on with our day, shall we?" Mizuki smiled at her friends who thought it be best not ask Mizuki just who the hell those people were, and just shrugged it off and entered Mizuki's house. "Great! Who's hungry?"
Both men and Yana raised their hands at the same time.

Next day: Hallways of the DWMA...
Mizuki smiled to the students of the DWMA as she made her way to her office, which was in the gym. When Mizuki finally entered her office she noticed that she had a note on her desk addressed to her.
Shrugging, the cursed miko openned the note silently reading it, then her eyes widening, bolting for her attendance sheet and searched for a few names. Cursing at the piece of paper from who's names she saw on the sheet.
Mizuki had a feeling that she was going to be in one hell of a year.
xx~xxxxxx~xx
