Chapter 15

Quinn's POV

I visibly froze "What!? Please tell me that you're not being serious?"

Mom was giving me a 'don't make me chop you' look, "I am being one hundred percent serious quinn, we will be leaving in about a week."

"What!? how long have you been planning this and why are we in such a hurry to move?"

"Moving is not something that was being planned quinn. I am sure that you all are fully aware of the increasing amount of pre-kishin souls. Quinn you and mia have been hunting together more than normal am I right?"

I stayed silent as did mia, she knew that I have been going out on my own to hunt pre-kishins. Ever sense that one night a few weeks back... "Quinn.." I was snapped out of my thoughts by mom, she sighed at me. "How many times have you gone out on your own?"

"I-uh..um... a few times now, I'm sorry mom."

"Quinn... I understand that you are hesitant to have your sisters along on a missions, ever sense that incident a few years back with rose and the witch... But it is safer for you to have a partner."

"I want rose to have a little more training before she tries to partner up, be it with me or anyone else. I originally had been going on my missions with mia, but as you said mom things have been picking up. The last time she and I went out together.."

"Quinn you promised you wouldn't tell! That's part of the reason why I stayed quite about you going out alone!" Mia shouted at me from across the table.

"What happened on your last mission together, Quinn, Mia?" Mom looked really pissed, I think she would have chopped us both into next week, but I started a hasty explanation before she could reach for a book.

"It's my fault mom, and even though I was there with her, mia almost got hurt. We got ambushed by 3 pre-kishins, when they attacked us I was almost unable to protect mia. I can't stand the idea of mia getting hurt because of me so I told her I would go alone until things slowed down a bit."

"Quinn, you lair!" Mia jumped out of her seat, she was on the verge of tears. "It was my fault mom! I was being selfish, I wanted to train a bit as meister and try to wield quinn. He was reluctant at first but he let me... That's when we got ambushed... he and I switched places but quinn to protect me he, he got hurt." Mia put her head down, I knew she felt guilty about my getting hurt but I've long sense to mention I would always prefer to get hurt over her, mom took a deep breath.

"I see. Quinn I know you can be a bit protective when it comes to your sisters, but no more going out on missions alone... Understand? And as for us moving, Lord death has requested the attendance of any and all death scythes that are able to make it back to death city. I informed him we would be able to move back to death city with in the week."

I didn't like the idea of mia or rose going out on missions right now. It wasn't only kishin activity that was on the rise, the number of witches was increasing as well. "I guess I won't be going on any missions until I find a partner... The whole reason I was going out alone was because I don't want mia or rose to be in danger. Now seeing that we have no choice in the matter of the move, I'll just have to deal with it, but do you think we can enroll into the DWMA?"

"I don't see why not." She didn't look to be any happier about our moving than I was. She took a deep breath. "Okay, now that we got that out of the way I want you all to start pulling things together. Tomorrow morning Dean and I will be getting the boxes for you pack your things up in. We leave on Saturday."

We were sitting around baggage claim, mom had arranged for uncle wes to pick us all up. Rose and mia were sitting and talking about us all starting classes on Monday. Rose was extremely excited, she has been wanting to find a weapon partner for some time now. I was sitting next to rose, listening to jazz on my iPod trying desperately to drowned out the noise of my own thoughts.

After about 15 minutes of waiting wes finally found us, "Ah! there you are... But where is quinn?" I chuckled slightly and then walked up to wes. "Oi, I'm right in front of you."

"Quinn? Is that really you?" he started to laugh. "I didn't even recognize you, when did you decided to dye your hair?"

"It's just a temporary dye and I got it from the store yesterday, and I put it in my hair this morning." I had gotten a a deep blood auburn red temporary dye for my hair, it would wash out within a few days. I just couldn't stand the thought of truly dying my hair, it would feel like I was locking myself away. "I haven't decided yet if I want to let soul know about my existence."

He smiled at me, "But quinn what about mia, she does have a few features of his, like his teeth and the tips of her hair are white."

"I don't know how I feel about our father either at the moment, but if I were to get questioned about my hair I can just say I dyed it." Mia shrugged.

Wes being as easy going as ever just laughed at us, "I was just curious. Now how about we get going, I'm sure that you are all tired from your trip."

Mom smiled at us, but it didn't reach her eyes. Her smile would always seem forced when ever our eyes would meet... Rose came over and grabbed my hand, "come on you guys, I wanna see our new house!" Just outside the baggage claim waiting for us was a long black limo, wes led us over to a big white van that was waiting behind it.

"You guys can put your bags in here, this van will follow us to your new house in death city." We all tossed our bags into the van and then stumbled into the back of the limo. Mom, wes and dean slid into the long seat along the side of the limo, Mia slid in, next I pilled in followed by rose. We had the seats along the back of the limo. The ride passed by in quiet only snores and hushed whispers could be heard.

Wes, mom and dean were talking about something involving work at the DWMA, Mia was asleep against my shoulder, and rose was laying on my lap. I saw wes glancing over at me, he smiled when he saw me being smothered by my little sisters, so uncool. The car ride lasted about an hour, we pulled up in front of a tan two story house. I was able to wake mia, but rose on the other hand, she is impossible to wake up once asleep. I didn't want to fight to wake her up, I decided to just carry her inside.

When I managed to wriggle out of the back of the limo with rose, we were greeted by our grandfather, and all of moms old friends. Aunt tsubaki ran up to mom, she almost broke mom in half. If I hadn't known better I would have said that it was Black star that had mom in a death grip. "Maka! It's been so long! How are you?"

"Hey tsu! I missed you so much. I'm doing pretty good how are you?"

"I'm doing okay, and did you know Sakura just started the academy this past fall?"

"Really? She and rose might be in the same class then. Quinn, Mia and rose are all starting classes on Monday."

Uncle black star was as loud as always, "Our godly daughter will soon become a death scythe and out shine everybody else!"

Dean started to chuckle at black star's comment, which did not go unnoticed. "What's so funny huh dean?"

"Quinn has already out shinned most of the kids at the DWMA, he collected his one witch spirit years ago..." Dean paused in his gloating to look at me, He knew I didn't like to talk bout that incandescent. "And he already has, 67 pre-kishin souls."

I interjected before black star or anyone else could speak. "Actually... um dean, I've now collected 75 pre-kishin souls."

Aunt liz whistled, I suspect that she was going to say something about the souls I had collected. That is until she noticed my hair. "Quinn!? Is that really you? What happened to your hair?"

"It's nothing, just some temporary hair dye. I wanted a change for death city."

Good old professor stein just had to state the obvious, and make things a bit uncomfortable. "More like you didn't want a certain white haired someone to know about your lineage."

Tsubaki frowned at what stein had said, "Quinn.." My feelings toward my so called father were no secret. And I really hated the look of pity it would sometimes cause me to get.

"I just don't know if I want to him to know yet. So I decided to dye my hair." I shrugged it off, "No big deal."

"Hey they just got here lets give them a moment to breath, it's fine for quinn and mia to take some time to figure out how they feel about soul." Liz stated Kid was about to say something but he ended up having yet another symmetry attack over death only knows what, Liz went to comfort him and patti was laughing wildly on the ground. We had just started to make our way inside with everyone slowly following behind us when all of a sudden grandpa, who could no longer wait patiently for mom to make her way over to him, pounced on her. "My darling maka! At last your home, I missed you so much and the kids too of course!"

He had started blubbering to mom and dean about how we had stayed away for so long. Mia and wes thankfully grabbed mine and rose's luggage. Dean made his way over to us, "I know you three are tired" He laughed seeing how rose was drooling on my shoulder. "You can go pick out your rooms, your mom and I are going to talk with everyone for a while."

Mia and I nodded at him before we made our way up stairs to pick out our rooms. Grandpa spirit had been coming over with wes to start getting the house set up for us. Mia was pulling her suit case along as we explored the up stairs, Mia loved the outdoors, so wes and grandpa had painted part of her room an off white. The remaining two walls had become a breath taking mural, Of a forest and stream. It looked like her room was located in the forest.

Mia Headed back down stairs to grab Rose's suit cases while I took rose to her room. Rose's room had been painted in a soft warm light purple color. I dropped rose off in a room, and mia soon brought up roses luggage. I smiled at roses sleeping form on her bed, she would love her room, this color fitted her personality. Mia went back to her room after we bid each other good night. I then made my way back down stairs to grab suit luggage, I wanted to find my room and get some sleep.

I grabbed my bags and started to make my way over to the stair case again, when uncle wes called me over to him. "Quinn, I have something I think you may wanna see." He lead me down a set of stairs to the basement. Upon entered the basement we were greeted by a small tan room, with a small beige chase lounge couch sitting in front of a flat screen TV, and along the wall was a grand piano keyboard.

I like the way the room felt, it was small but homey, "Wow, what I wouldn't give to have a space like this for myself." Wes smiled at me, and waved for me to follow him once again. "I thought this room would be best for you." Wes said as he opened a tan door. It led to a large bedroom with gray walls, along one of the walls was a full sized bed already made up in charcoal colored sheets, on the other side of the bedroom was a full bath room with a shower and everything.

"I spoke with your mother, she said that you had been spending quite a bit of time in your room away from your sisters. After some slight convincing from dean and myself she agreed to let you have the whole basement. Of course you will need to let your sisters come down here from time to time, but if you are writing your music or if you really just need some time to your self, you'll now have the space to do so."

I had a hard time finding my word for a few moments. "Why would you go through all this trouble for me alone? What about mia and rose?"

He took a deep breath, "It wasn't any trouble quinn, But like I said, the sitting room out there is for you and the girls. It will give you somewhere to go to relax. However being that the sitting room is attached to your room, you will have a bit more of a say on when it gets used."

"Oh, so if I want to sleep I can tell rose and mia to get out of the little sitting room, that's pretty cool. I used to have to listen to them constantly fighting with each other when all of our rooms were on the same floor..." Wes smiled knowingly at me and turned to leave. "Well, I'm glad you like it, I'll let you get some rest g'night quinn."

"Night." I flopped down on my new bed... 'maybe the move won't be to bad, I mean what were the odds of me running into HIM?'
