It felt as if I lost all five senses in my body.
So numb. So peaceful.
I felt nothing.
Just nothing.
Blankness.
Nothingness.
Darkness.
If felt as if I were alive but at the same time dead. There was a voice. But it was too far away, and muffeled.
It grew quiet again, and the voice returned, this time a bit louder.
I could make up a few words "Miss...okay..."
"Miss...are...okay?"
"Miss, are you okay?"
I shot up quickly, wide eyes and sweaty face. I stood still in a sitting position on the tiled floor.
My eyes widened more when I realized that people were gathered around me, whispering to eachother, and giving me weird looks.
I looked to my left to see a black haired boy, about my age, with three stripes of white, covering the left side of his head. He wore a black suit, with a skull as the top button of the white dress shirt, that he had under.
He had gold eyes and pale skin.
He was a cosplayer from Soup-Soul Eater.
Was he that character,Black Star? Wait...no, Black Star has blue hair...right? And Soul is the one with white hair. So that leaves only Death the Kid. Or just , Kid.
I backed away a bit,uneasy with the closeness.
"What's your name Miss?" he asked politely gazing at me intently, and suspiciously.
I was too shocked to hear him. I looked around like a lost child, ready to cry.
"Where am I?" I asked quietly and hesitantly.
"You're at Shibusen Academy. We found you laying in the middle of the hallways. Did you come here to register? I haven't seen you here, so I thought..." he drifted on with his rant.
"A school? I-...no. There aren't any schools here. They didn't have any for many years." my head hurt from all this confusion.
He looked at me weirdly, as did the others. "What are you talking about? This school has been running for many , many years."
"What is the name of this city, or town?"
"Death City. I can tell you're not from here. How did you even come here without knowing what this place us called, and it's location?" My head began to spin.
Death City? Death City...?
I remembered my town wasn't called that.
How did I reach to another city?
My town wasn't even close to... The rush of memories, broke the levee in my head. And it flooded my mind with flashbacks from yesterday.
Dark claws grabbed me. They came out from nowhere.
My breathing had became rapid, and still silent.
"Kid, leave the poor girl alone. Hey my name's Liz. Liz Thompsan." a tall teenaged girl, with medium dirty blonde hair, and dark blue eyes,like mine, held up her hand for me to take.
I looked at her weirdly. Wow, these cosplayers have the same name as the character they're cosplaying? Oh no, they're just joking and being all fangirly, like my mother used to be.
"I'm...Adil." I replied softly. Most people were gone by now, some looking back with curious expressions.
Suddenly, a hand was waved in my face, frantically, that it looked like peach blur. "Hi! I'm Patti! I'm her sister!" she smiled widely, and pointed at 'Liz' who was talking with 'Kid'.
This girl looked like the fictional character of Soul Eater, too.
"You guys...take the whole cosplaying thing too far. Your school actually allows cosplaying?" I said, frustrated. The three just stated at me, 'Liz', and 'Kid' gave me strange looks.
After they got a good dose of staring, the boy spoke up.
"We are not cosplaying anyone. Did you hit you're head? Is that why we found you unconscious?" I glared at him. I wasn't going mental.
These anime freaks, who take it way too far, actually are acting like the Soul Eater characters.
What? Are Liz and Patti going to transform into a scythe or something to prove they're not cosplayers?
I walked away silently, searching for the exit. I was getting out of this freak show.
Maybe some fresh air will calm my senses. I heard them call for me , but ignored them.
I didn't like obsessive freaks like them. I got scared, thinking I was lost, until I saw two big opened doors.
As I stepped outside, I shivered from the warmth. What a difference between inside and outside.
I heard a weird noise coming from above. It was like...rough, quiet gasping...and laughing, at the same time. I looked up at the source of heat, aka the sun, with a hand on my forehead , shielding the bright rays, from my eyes. I froze, my legs wobbled slightly.
The sun, which is seen as a penny size from Earth, is now a ball of spikes, with a face, and an insane smile, like the crescent.
"It's...not possible..this is a dream, it can't be true..." I clutched the clothing over my heart ,"But dreams are never this detailed..." I shook my head, wanting, and at the same time,not wanting, to believe that I'm in an anime world.
The sun, the school, Kid, Liz, and Patti, who in the real world, which is probably this one, I never learned much about, for the exception of their names. But it couldn't be possible!
There is no WAY I could be in a fictional world!
"Hey! Wait up! You're leaving without an explanation!" the boy from earlier yelled from behind me.
So if this IS an anime world, one that I never bothered understanding, aren't there supernatural things that these characters are supposed to do?
I remember my mom yelling weird stuff, when she was acting in her bathroom, like, 'Soul Resonance', or 'Witch Hunter'... I also remembered when she was talking about Soul Eater, how some of them can transform into weapons.
"Can I see a demonstration?" I blurted out, without thinking.
I just HAD to find out, I needed to test it.
The three looked at each other in confusion. "What do you mean demonstration? Of what?"
"You go here, right? Are you weapons?"
"Yeah. Me and Patti are. Kid is the meister."
"So...can you demonstrate it for me? I'd like to see."
"Uh sure, why not..?" Liz mumbled. "Patti!"
Patti giggled and jumped , a neon purple-pink color taking her form, and she got smaller and smaller, untill she was a medium sized gun , in her sister's hand.
My mouth was wide open. My face was pure horror, fear, and confusion. I wobbled a bit, and fell on my knees, unable to keep hold of my weight.
' It isn't possible... It isn't possible... It isn't possible!' I thought over and over.
The boy knelt down next to me, while the girl looked at me ,confused.
"Are you...okay? What's-" He stopped talking when I fainted, my head between his shoulder and neck. I heard a gasp before the pain in my head, lulled me to sleep.-
:-:-:-
"She fainted after Patti transformed into her weapon form."
"Anything else?"
"Well...did my father have any information on her, if she's a new student or something?"
"I'm not sure...he never did mention anything about a new girl. Did she tell you-"
"No, she still hasn't told us why she came here."
"Well...we'll just have to find out when she wakes up."
I heard voices, and they sounded remote. It took me a few seconds , for their words to register in my head.
My eyes twitched before slowly opening. I squinted,due to the bright rays. I sat up, holding my head, and looking around the room.
Two figures stood infront of the bed I was lying on. One was familiar, Kid. There was a grey haired man, with stiches on the left side of his face. Big round glasses were sitting infront of the two dark grey piercing eyes, that were met with mine. He wore a stitched lab coat.
"Ah. You finally woke up." he twisted his cigar , that hung on his lips. I noticed the bolt that went through his head.
"Should we take her to-" Kid was cut off.
"Yeah."
-:-:-:-
We were walking along the hallways, when we stopped at a big large door. Inside was a long pathway, that lead to the 'Death Room'. As we got in, there was a row of red torii , styled like guillotines.
This was exactly like in the anime. I remember seeing a place like this before.
And if I'm correct Kid's father is like a principal to this school. The two young men stopped infront of me.
"Honorable father." Kid greeted.
"Oh, oh. Hello there son, Stein. How are you doing today. Oh my, who is this little girl?" a strange black edgy robed , cartoonish skull masked, man appeared in the middle of the room.
I looked at the difference between Kid and me. I was up to his shoulders. That's why his father called me little.
The ceiling was a bright blue, with small clouds floating everywhere, even by my feet.
The floor was cloudy, with cross-like sticks protruding from the ground.
"Father. This is Adil. We found her in the middle of the school."
"Oh so you've come to register?" he asked joyfully. For a place called the Death Room, it sure didn't look creepy.
At this point I was surely convinced.
And I knew for fact... That I AM in an anime world.
This must be like Wizard of Oz...or Alice in Wonderland.
So since I'm here, and not in an orphanage, I'll begin to get into this anime, that my mother was into.
But...I will do it differently. I won't read manga, besides I accidentally forgot that...in the real world.
I won't watch it, I'll have to become part of it I guess. Understand everything step by step.
This is the most entertaining thing I've gotten myself into, in the last two years.
"Y-yes. I did come here to register...if you don't mind, I mean-" I stumbled on my words.
"Oh. We don't mind at all! What classification are you,kiddo, a weapon or a meister?"
Weapons were the tool, meisters were the wielders.
"From the looks of her soul, she's a meister." Stein said, as his bore into mine.
I wondered how my soul was. Was it like most characters, small and cute?
"Is that so? Well , we have a gathering soon, Adil. You can find a weapon that matches your soul wavelength. But you must wear a tag, that states you are a meister."
"Um...sir. Could you please explain to me more about this school? All I know is that some are weapons, and others are meisters. What I don't get...is what kind of evil do they fight?" I asked, playing with my fingers.
"We have alot of explaining to do. Kid, you go along with your friends. I'll call you later so you can give this sweet young lady a tour of the school. Stein, you go teach the kids. Try not to leave them alone for too long. You know how they are."
Stein nodded without a word, and left.
-:-:-:-
After much explaining, I understood bits of it. "So when a person turns to Kishin, do they take on a different form?"
"Yes, they become very different than their human forms. You'll see when you on a mission in the future."
I nodded and replayed our conversation in my head, not noticing Kid, coming in with his two friends, Liz and Patti.
"Hi Adil!" Patti screeched as she waved.
My train of thought broke, and I looked up, like a deer in the headlights.
I finally noticed them and calmed down, smiling nervously, while waving my sleeve covered hand, shyly.
"Father, can we begin the tour now?"
"Yah, yah! I have faith in you Kid, to not get her lost." Shinigami pushed me with his big white foam like hands , into Kid, whose face turned slightly pink.
I backed away from him embarrassed.
I kept my head down, and pulled up my black hood, covering my dark chin length hair.
I hid my sleeve covered hands on the deep pockets of my black hoodie. As we walked out of the Death Room Kid suddenly gasped. I looked up immediately, confused. "What's wrong ,Kid?" Patti laughed.
"H-her shoes. They're perfect!" he threw himself in the floor and clutched my feet looking down at my footwear with glossy eyes.
He rubbed his face on them, while I stood there, shocked and freaked out.
My mouth was parted slightly, and I looked at the girls for an explanation.
Patti was laughing loudly, and Liz shook her head.
"You get used to it, don't worry. He's obsessed with symmetry."
Patti laughed more, as I tried to wriggle out of his grasp, but failed. Through all the noise we failed to hear footsteps from behind us.
