CHAPTER 3: She's Symmetrical!

Damian's POV:

Doing homework was never fun. Most of the time, I didn't do any, so it was alright. But today, Maka was making us all stay inside and work. Whining hadn't done any good, especially since Iris and Alexia were on Maka's side.

As usual, Beau and Arra had no say in the matter, and sat off on the side lines as Alexia and I debated.

I lost the argument, of course, and was stuck in the house finishing my essay on souls for the rest if the afternoon.

It wasn't long before I lost interest in my essay though, and I began to hum to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad", changing the lyrics as necessary:

"I've been working on my homework

All the live long day!

I've been working on my homework,

cause' Maka's MAKING ME.

Can't you hear the others screaming,

at me to shut up?

Can't you hear the others shouting!"

"Damian you're a sucky singer! Shut up before I kill you or something!"

Soul had been the one to scream that last line at me.

Over the past few days, I had managed to make friends with the majority of Maka and Soul's group, with the exception of Soul himself.

We had our differences and would keep our distance, except for when Soul felt the need to tell me off.

Alexia was helping Soul with his essay, and I sat there watching jealously.

Ineptly trying to regain Alexia's focus, I began singing again:

"I've been working on my homework!

All the live long day!

I've been working on my homework!-"

"Damian SHUT UP! Some of us ARE trying to work you know!" Alexia growled, 'We WOULD like to focus!"

"Oh lighten up Alexia," Iris smiled, "He's only singing."

But because Alexia had been the one to snap at me, I stayed quiet until we were all done.

"We should probably go to turn in the essays now..." Maka sighed, "So we don't forget tomorrow?"

We all nodded.

...

"Now that that's out of the way..." Maka smiled, "Why don't we go see Shinigami about our next mission?"

We all shot each other doubtful looks, but then followed without complaint, not wanting to experience 'MAKA CHOP' again.

We walked for a while in our group, until we reached the path of guillotines.

"Damn that's freaky..." I blinked, "Why hang guillotines over a pathway to Shinigami...?"

Kid answered my question, "My father thinks it's foreboding."

"That's right..." I stared at Kid, "You're his son aren't you..? I keep forgetting."

"Yep." Kid nodded proudly, "I'm the son of the god of death!"

"Then who's the goddess of death?" Being the fairly insensitive person I was, I really found no problem asking such a question.

Kid shrugged, "Could be anyone, never bothered to ask."

"And that doesn't bother you one bit?" I narrowed my eyes, "You could be related to anyone of us!"

"That's impossible." Kid smirked, "That would never happen."

Slightly unsatisfied with Kid's reaction, but to weary to try and continue, I turned my attention once again to the path of guillotines.

I blinked, and an object flew from down the path, I heard Maka shout," Witch!"

Some of the others managed a more immediate reaction than me, and start attacking the witch as she flew the rest of the way out.

I turned to Kid, who was waving his arms and shouting at them to stop.

But it was no use, everyone was continuously attacking the witch.

Everyone was ignoring Kid's shout for them to stop; even Patty, the super happy and nice one, ignored him fully.

Everyone was attacking the witch senselessly.

I wasn't much of an idea person.

I was more of a fighter.

Alexia on the other hand, was the smart one, and most of the time came up with the ideas.

But I had to act now or one of us could end up being hurt, or killed, by this witch.

"Alexia! I'm going to transform! Grab me!"

Alexia did as I had told her to, and grabbed onto the axe handle as soon as I had fully changed.

What proceeded was a series of swings done by Alexia, and I found little need to focus on the actual battle at hand.

By the time I had refocused my mind, Alexia had pinned the witch down, stepped on her chest, and was threatening her neck with my blade.

I squeezed my eyes shut, preparing to experience my first kill, when Alexia suddenly stopped moving me around.

I opened my eyes again, and Kid had flung himself on top of the witch.

"You can't kill her! She's symmetrical!"

I could feel the anger in Alexia's soul wave length, "Move Kid!"

"She's symmetrical!" Kid repeated himself, not budging.

The witch looked at Kid in shock, before a bright light flashed, much like the one I set off when I transformed.

But what stood before us wasn't a weapon, it was a cat.

The cat witch scampered away, as Alexia screamed at Kid.

"Why didn't you move!? That would've been my first kill!"

"She was SYMMETRICAL!"

"I don't care!" Alexia snapped, holding me up to Kid's neck.

"Yo! Kids! Relax!"

We all turned, and found Shinigami walking down the pathway.

"Shinigami sir! There was a witch! And your son! He stopped us from kil-"

"Have any of you seen Naku? She has brown hair, and red eyes. She flew out before we could finish our conversation." Shinigami cut Alexia off, "She's probably that witch you just described."

"I-uh..." Alexia blinked, and looked around at the rest of us.

We were all at as much fault as she was, and it was obvious, because we had all transformed, and were being wielded by the technicians.

"Haven't seen her sir!" I stuck my head out of the axe blade.

The rest of us nodded.
