Chapter 19

Quinn's POV

"That's a lie!" Drake apparently forgot about my scythe blade being pointed at his neck, "You just moved here so don't pretend like you know anything about our dad! He would never abandon anyone, especially if that person was on his team!"

I withdrew my blade and grabbed the front of his shirt, "You don't believe me? Fine, you just met me, but how about you ask you father about why he caused them to disband. And when he refused to answer you again, you can ask Wes."

"Quinn! that's enough let him go!" Mia grabbed my arm and tried to pull me off our bother. He was silent and I eventually let him go.

"Ho.. how do you know our uncle Wes? And why would he know anything about it?" Shit I hadn't meant to let it slip that we knew Wes... but before I could say anything about it we were interrupted by professor stein falling flat on his back in the small space between me and drake.

Rose, Mia and I were semi shocked, don't get me wrong we have seen Stein fall with his chair before. But this time there was no ledge for his wheels to get caught on.

He was still laying on the ground when he addressed us. "Drake, hunter, I already looked you over, and the bell is going to ring shortly, with that being said I suggest that you head to class."

He then turned to me, not bothering to wait for their response. "Now Mia, as I understand it you were unharmed in the attack earlier. So that would just leave you two, Rose, Quinn have a seat on that bed." He pointed to a thin mattress that was sitting in front of a window, as he got back into his chair.

He moved so that he was sitting in front of me, "Now lets take a lo-" I cut him off, "No, I'm alright professor really rose got hit pretty hard though, she should be first." He rolled his eyes at me, and mumbled something that sounded like 'should have known' under his breath. He then moved to be in front of Rose.

"So Rose, how are you feeling? Headache? Blurred vision? Anything out of the ordinary?" Stein was shinning a light in both of her eyes, "No, Professor Stein, I feel fine."

I crossed my arms over my chest, while giving her the 'do you want to tell him, or should I' look. She tried to use her puppy dog eyes on me, sorry Rose your health comes first. "Actually Stein, I don't know how much of this is from being tired, but Rose was wobbly on her feet before we came here."

"Hmmmmm, it could have been from her over exerting herself. Tell me rose have you fought like at before today?" She shook her head. "Quinn and Mia let me practice with them but I've never been up against a Kishin like that. If we ran across one while we were training Quinn and Mia would take care of it."

Stein had been feeling the sides and back of roses head while she talked. When he pressed on the back right side of her head Rose slightly winced. "Well you seem to have a slight bump, but I don't think you have a concussion. However just to be on the safe side I'm going to have you excused from training today. I want you to put some ice on the bump until class starts, and if you start feeling dizzy let me know and we will have you come lay down." Rose frowned but nodded.

She is such a tomboy, poor thing having to miss her favorite class. Stein turned to pull together an ice bag, I smiled at her but she glared and stuck her tongue out at me. I chuckled at her, when Stein handed her the ice I turned to Mia. "Hey, can you walk Rose to her class? The bell is going to ring soon and I just need him to clean my cut. I'll meet you in class." Mia stared at me for a moment but then nodded.

"Come on Rose, we should get going to class." Mia called out to Rose from the door way.

"What about Quinn?" Rose said looking back at me, "I just need to get cleaned up real quick, but you don't wanna be late on your first day right? Go ahead, I'll be fine." I smiled at her again. This time she grinned at me and left with mia.

"You can't protect them forever you know. They will find partners, they will go on missions, and eventually for one reason or another they will get hurt. You won't always be there Quinn, what happens when you find a partner of your own? Will you neglect your meister to be by your sisters sides?"

I took a deep breath, "I know, your right I won't always be there but.. For now at least I can be and will be." He sighed at me.

"So then I take it that Rose still hasn't seen it?" I kept my eyes down while I shook my head. Stein put his hand on top of my head and some how managed to make my spiky mess of hair more messy. "Alright then, Lets take a look at your shoulder, and if I'm not mistaken, I heard that you got slammed into the wall yourself."

I eased out of my shirt, while Stein gathered some supplies to clean and close my wound. I was looking out the window when I heard Stein's shocked intake of breath. I turned toward him and then realized that he hasn't seen my body sense... well it's been a few years, and I had quite a few more scars covering my arms and a few more on my back. Oddly enough my chest was virtually unscathed. To his credit he recovered relatively quickly, "Alright let me see your shoulder. Your lucky Quinn, this cut is rather deep and if it weren't for your black blood you could have lost a lot of blood." The bell rang as he started to stitch my shoulder shut.

"That should do it, but you are going to need to take it easy, no training for a while or you could tear your stitches."

I nodded at him, "Thanks Professor. I was just about to leave when he stopped me. "Quinn wait, You'll need a pass for being late and there is something you should know..."

I swear I couldn't catch a break today! What in deaths name did I do to deserve this!? I was standing out side my class room looking down at my pass Stein had written for me. I took a deep breath, and walked into my personal hell.

The room was far to quiet for any normal class room. I quickly scanned the room trying to find where Mia was sitting, hopefully I could just go sit next to her without having to be introduced. However to my dismay I found Mia standing next to the teaches desk, did I mention how death was against me today?

"Ah nice of you to join us." I slowly dragged my eyes from Mia to the White heard monster beside her. "I was with Stein, I have pass from him for you."

He simply nodded, "Now that you are here you can join Mia and introduce yourself." I inwardly groaned, unlike my newly found siblings, hated telling others who I was, and who my mom was. People had this annoying habit of prying into my life and my mom's past.

Mia had already given her name before I walked into the class, "So I don't know how far you guys got before I walked in, but my name is Quinn Albarn and Mia is my twin sister."

Pretty much all of the boys in class were starting at Mia, and I was not happy about how they were undressing her with their eye. Mia saw me eyeing her admirers and she grabbed my arm and gave it a quick squeeze.

Soul cleared his throat and addressed the class. "I know that all of you have your questions to ask, so I am going to give you 5 minutes to ask them a few of them. But understand one thing, once the 5 minutes are up you will just have to wait until lunch or after school to ask any further questions." And with that we were left to deal with the impending questions from our new class mates.

A thin girl with light purple hair was the first to have her hand up. "Um I guess you with the purple hair..." I called on her and she smiled at me.

"Hi my name is Morgan, and I was wondering if you were single? " I rolled my eyes at her question, so she was one of those girls. "Quinn!..." Mia whispered a warning at me.

"Uh, If your asking me if I have a meister the answer is no, and if you are asking me if I have a girl friend, the answer is no, I don't have the time."

"You don't have the time? How old are you any way? And what is so important that you are to busy to spend time with some one?" It was a blonde haired girl with midnight blue tips that spoke this time. I didn't even try to hide my groan.

"No I do not have the time to waist right now, both Mia and myself are just about to turn 15, and I have people that I care about that need me, I am in this advanced class, not just because of high test scores, but because I take what I do seriously."

Mia glared at me, "What my brother means to say is that we haven't had the time to be social, with the increasing number of kishin attacks. Until recently Quinn and I had been collecting Kishin souls, so that left us with very little time to do much else."

A boy with black hair jumped up onto the desk before launching himself toward us. He landed right in front of me, "I'll bet you haven't caught any kishin souls. And that the real reason that you don't have any friends is because you were total losers in your old school!"

"Shadow Fire!" A boy with silver hair scolded, "As Quinn already stated, you have to be skilled to get into this class, which means that more than likely what they are saying is true. Now sit down before I put you down." Hhhmm, Maybe this class won't be as bad as I originally thought.

Mia glanced at me, it was easy to see that she was as bored with show and tell as I was. "Well, if that's all of your questions.." Mia began, but was quickly interrupted.

It was that Morgan girl again. "No wait, please we have a few more questions for you. How many souls have you collected so far?" I had lost count of how many Mia had collected for herself.

I cleared my throat, "Well I lost count of how many Mia has collected but I think between the two of us, we have just over 110..." The room was dead silent.

"That was a pretty good guess Quinn, I have 35 souls." I was about to jump into a conversation with Mia, ignoring the looks we were getting when the load mouth stood up to shout his question.

"Wait, I thought that Mia was a Meister... If she is a weapon how have you guys been able to fight the pre-kishins?"

"When we first started to hunt pre-kishins, one of us would act as the meister. Of course we had our mom with us on our first few hunt's just until we had gotten the hang of it ourselves. I had been wielding Mia a lot in the beginning..." I trailed off, lost in our past. Mia continued explaining from where I had left off.

"Eventually, we switched to me acting as meister and Quinn being the weapon. We never really got around to switching rolls again, and that's why Quinn now has... How many kishin souls do you have again? 68? 70?" I smirked at her. "Nope now it's 75."

I could see soul staring at us in shock from the corner of my eye, the silver haired boy raised his hand. "Um you with the silver hair."

He smiled at us, "My name is Stan, and I have a few questions for you. The first, what was it that made you switch rolls of meister and weapon? Second, What did you mean when you said, you worked together 'until recently'? Also what are your weapon forms?"

Mia looked over at me and then began to answer Stan's question. "Well I am a Long bow, the arrows are generated with my meisters soul wavelength, and Quinn is a Scythe. Well about a month ago, Quinn started to go out and hunt on his own. And as for your first question, I think we would rather not-"

"No, it's okay Mia. As long as your okay with it we can tell them." Mia turned so that she was fully facing me, her eyes were huge. "Are you sure Quinn? We don't have too..."

I shook my head at her, "Nah, it's fine, as long as your willing to Mia."

"Oh now you have to tell us!" Shouted the annoying blonde.

AN: Hey guys, I just the worst with all of the suspense I throw at you huh? LOL I just hope that this chapter made up for the slight wait. As always please feel free to review. :)
