(A/N: I don't own any of the characters except Diamond (Dia) and Spirit Taker. K? Tsubaki's writing is typed like this, the vampire's is typed up like this.)

Mission! Cheer this guy up?!

XxXxX 魂 SOUL XxXxX

After the long and perilous journey of retrieving the vampire, they helped him recover, the reason? Well, Shinigami-sama decided to keep him, Shinigami-sama said it would be fun. And plus- he did have a weapon that could handle him. Nobody remembers who he was.

Maka even got a souvenir from the place. What did she find? It was something that looked like a choker. It had a jewel that looked like a blue topaz or a sapphire, and it had weird designs.

Well, beside all that, the vampire got all locked up and stuff. Well, kinda. He was in Shibusen's Guest room. He never wanted to do anything but SIT there, really! He was like a zombie! (No offense, Sid.)

So Shinigami-sama decided on this:

"Would Black*Star, Tsubaki, Death the Kid, Thompson Sisters, Soul Eater, and Maka Albarn report to the Death Room? Sorry for the interruption, everyone else! Thank you for your time." The intercom boomed, again.

Why them AGAIN? Everyone wondered, again.

So the Technicians and Weapons went to the Death Room, again.

What was gonna happen now?! I KNOW WHAT! JUST KEEP ON READING!

~nananaaanananaaaaaanananannnnnaaa…. Oh, whoops, I was singing again, wasn't I?~

"So, so, my buds," Shinigami said in a playful voice, as usual, "I gotta question for ya!"

"Yes?" everyone else asked.

"I want you to cheer up our friend, Vampire-chan, okie-dokie?"

"Sure Shinigami-sama!" Tsubaki and Maka said in perfect sync.

"WHAT?!" everyone else screamed.

So, then along they were forced by Maka to leave the Death Room to the vampire's room.

--YESH…--

"Um," Soul started to say, "What should we do?" he asked while string at the door of the vampire's room.

"Is the door unlocked, Sid-sensei?" Tsubaki asked the zombie.

"The whole time, I think he's been sitting in the same corner the entire time he's been in there, too." Sid said with wonder.

"Well, then who's first?" Liz asked the crowd of friends.

"ME! I SOULD BE GREATFUL TO THE BEAST KNOWN AS VAMPIRE! HYA-HOO!" Black*Star exclaimed while barging in the room.

"Hello, there, Vampie-boy!" Black*Star greeted the vampire in the left corner of the room with a big grin.

The vampire kicked him out of the room by pushing him, and then went back to his lonely corner.

"What corner was he in?" Sid asked Black*Star.

"He was in the left corner." Black*Star responded.

"Oh, I knew it! He didn't move!"

"Well, he did to push me outta there…"

"Whatever, it's my turn!" Liz announced as she walked inside the room.

"Heya, vampire!" Liz greeted the lonely vampire. He didn't do anything. "Um… Do you want me to leave?" The vampire nodded. So Liz left.

"Patty, you try." Liz said wearily to her younger sister.

"O-key!" Patty said in her childish voice as she walked in the room.

"Hi-hi, Mr. Vampire!" she gleefully greeted the Vampire. He stared at her for a while. Then Paty left because she got bored.

"How about you, Kid-kun?" Patty asked her Technician.

"Why, thank you, Patty. I shall do this very nice and cleanly!" Kid stated as he walked in the room.

"Hello, good friend, how are—"

-BAM-

"OH EM GEE! WHAT HAPPENED, KID?!" Liz screamed.

"H-he poked me w-with a laser…" Kid stuttered painfully.

"Poked you with a laser?" everyone else asked.

"I think it was Soul Wavelength. In speaking of souls, why don't you go and try, Soul?"

"Ah, it always has to be my name, curse you mother who probably nether dwells in heaven or hell!" Soul said.

"Say that again, Soul, because I can't even imagine you saying that." Maka commanded Soul.

"… My mom named me and I hate my name, and she's dead."

"Oh. Okay. I can think of you saying that."

There was a long silence, a really long and disturbing silence.

"Well, are you going or not?!" everyone except Soul exploded.

"… Maybe," The scythe said with a sly smirk.

"GO IN THE FREAKING ROOM!" Maka screamed, kicking Soul inside the room.

As he stared at the vampire with his puddles of red eyes, the vampire stared back. This had been going for a while, so Soul got bored. "Hey, dude," Soul started to say, "What do you like?"

The vampire didn't say a thing. So Soul came up with some things, he shook his head at everything.

Soul wasn't interested in a guy almost like him with nothing in common, so he left.

"Tsubaki, how about you? He probably doesn't understand much English." Soul said to the Dark Demon Weapon.

"Uh, sure…" Tsubaki answered, still wondering why she was picked.

"Or you can give him a paper and pen, he can write in Japanese, and he can probably speak English. Sid-sensei, did you know this vampire?" Maka said happily, liking her suggestion.

Sid started to speak: "Ah, let's see… Yes, I do remember him. He was a high-ranking technician. He did have a weapon, dispite his power, but-"

"I mean if he had a voice, Sid-sensei."

"Oh. He did. It was eerie, and I think he only spoke when he wanted, for example; he didn't answer stupid questions or things like that."

"Okay, then," Tsubaki said, "Does anyone have a pen?"

Kid gave her a pen.

"Does anyone have paper?"

Kid gave her a notepad.

"Kid-kun, where'd you get all this?"

"I always keep like stuff like that." Kid answered, wondering why she asked the question.

"… I'll be going then…" Tsubaki said as she went inside the room.

She looked down at the vampire, and he looked up at the Dark Demon Weapon. Tsubaki sat next to the vampire, getting the pen and notepad.

Then she wrote: こんにちは。 私はツバキです。 あなたの名前か? (Hello. I'm Tsubaki, your name?)

After she wrote that, she gave the notepad to the vampire. After he read it, Tsubaki gave him the pen, he scribbled down: 私は残念な名前を持っていません。 喜ぶために去ることができますか? (I don't have one, sorry. Can you leave, please?)

なぜか? (Why?)

なぜは何を意味しますか。なぜ去るべきですか。 (What do you mean by why? Why you should leave?)

はい... (Yes…)

それで、私はちょうど良いだけでありたいと思いますか。(Well, I just want to be alone, okay?)

As Tsubaki read that, she sighed, and then hugged the vampire.

"Why do you want to lead a lonely life?" Tsubaki cried a bit, it was sad for her to be all alone and nobody cares about you.

The vampire just stared at her for a second. Then he put his cold hand on her head.

Tsubaki swore she heard the words, in English, "I don't know why. I just don't think anyone would listen or anything…"

Once he removed his hand from her head, she stared at his icy eyes, he stared for a moment, then he looked away.

So, after all that, she left the room, and waved good-bye to the vampire. He just smiled, liking the fact somebody cared.

"Well, what happened?" Black*Star asked.

"I made him smile, but that's it, I think. I don't think he liked the fact that I was in there. And did he use telepathy? Or am I just thinking things?" Tsubaki then kinda trailed off after that.

"Um, can I see your chat, Tsubaki-chan?" Maka said holding out her hand for the notepad.

"Sure." Tsubaki said, giving Maka the notepad and Kid his pen back.

As Maka read the discussion, a bit of a frown appeared on her face.

'So… he really doesn't have a name… and he wants to be alone, I know how that feels, but maybe he's overdoing it…' Maka thought.

"Well, we failed…" Soul said sadly.

"Yeah…" everyone else except Maka said.

"Guys, I still didn't go…" Maka groaned.

"Oh, I thought you went first!" Black*Star exclaimed.

"You were the first, idiot."

"Really? I thought I was 3rd…"

There was silence for a while. Black*Star can't remember things, can he?

"Well, I'll be going in then…" Maka stated.
