I had to go get an extra tag, before the gathering starts.
And today was a day only for gatherings. The rest didn't have school.
I just had to be stupid and drop it. Agh, my life can't get any worse than this!
My mother taught me to never say stuff like that, because you'll jinx yourself.
I stunned my toe on the thick chairs of the living room, while trying to pull a white sock on my foot.
I scrunched up my face, biting my lip.
As I put on my black, and white shoes I looked in the mirror to see if I looked okay.
Black hair combed. Check.
Eyes don't have eye boogers. Check.
Navy blue sweater. Check.
Grey pants. Check .
I was indeed ready.

I ran to the academy which was near Kid's house, and which my brain easily memorized.
There was about two kids there already, who were waiting and playing basketball.
I ran up the stairs, and into the gaps of the skull's teeth, which were the doors.
I looked around for a teacher, to ask where the Death Room was. Yes I still forget...
I saw that blue dude, that stopped my fight with Black Star.
"Excuse me! Sir? Do you know where the Death Room is?"
He looked up from his mopping, "Wha-? Oh the Death Room? Ah the reminds me I have to go there it's an emergency. And I don't miss emergencies, that's the kind of guy I was." I stared blankly at him , "Here take this mop. Oh and you might want to scrub harder around the lockers' edges."
I looked at him with a shocked expression, and threw the mop in the bucket, which resulted in drops of water splashing on my face, and clothes.
I spat , disgusted as a few came in my mouth.
I turned my head, while still wiping my tongue on my sleeve, and saw blue dude going up the stairs.
I ran to follow him, but accidentally slipped from the mess I made earlier.
I groaned. Why did I have to jynx myself.
I stood up hastily and ran for dear life to catch up to the blue man.
And to my surprise, well not really, I crashed to someone's chest.
I looked up to the familiar eyes of mine.
"This is third time, y'know."
"Sorry Tatsuo." I blushed embarrassed, and ran past him, making him look back to me confused.

"What the hell are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be mopping? Back in my old days, I never used to disobey elders, that's the kind of man-"
"Sid please excuse her. Yes Adil, is there something you want?"
I noticed a red haired man beside him, staring blankly at me.
"Uh...yes. You see, yesterday I accidentally...lost the tag, so I was wondering could I have another one?"
"Oh sure! There are plenty of more, but just don't lose this one okay?"
He gave me one and I smiled , relieved. I turned around to walk out when I bumped into someone again.
I looked up and was faced with a blonde haired girl, with green eyes and pale skin. There was a girl next to her, with auburn hair tied in a high ponytail. Her eyes were dark with violet specks in them.
She looked older than the blonde, and was wearing a grey sleeveless high collared top and dark grey shorts to match. Purple and red slash marks went upwards at the bottom of the shirt. She also wore red leather steal toed combat boots.
The other girl was wearing a plain red t-shirt, and a blue mini skirt.
I looked disgusted at the skirt for a moment.
They both stared at me, as did I at them.
"Sorry..." I mumbled.
"Don't apologize..." the auburn haired girl said. Her voice was low and it sounded as if she was trying not to kill the girl next to her.
As I walked back to the pathway of red torii, I heard the auburn girl yell something like, "I'm not going to work with this slut anymore."

Now I have the Death Room memorized. Up the stairs, to the left, and up the stairs again.
I walked outside and saw alot of kids, walking around, talking to random people.
Some looked familiar that were in my class.
I spotted Tatsuo talking with a black haired boy.
I think he was the one that offered to be used by him yesterday. The axe.
He looked like the total opposite of Tatsuo.
Tatsuo had white hair, blue eyes and dark clothes.
While the boy had black bed head hair,green eyes and chose to wear white sleeveless top and forest green shorts.
I stood somewhere near the edge of the whole gathering, looking like an idiot.
What do you do at gatherings? Talk to people?
How would you know if the soul wavelengths match? Do you have to perform a spell or something?
Argh, Tatsuo has it easier!
Many people have started to leave with a partner, even Tatsuo.
I sighed and looked down at the grey pavement.
More minutes passed, and everybody left except me.
I hung my head down, the grip on the tag loosened and it fell with a clang , on the ground.
'Looks like I'm not going to have a weapon soon..'
I felt upset. I was the only one to not find a partner.
I sat down on a bench next to a soda machine, and a few trees.
I looked back at the grey pavement where I dropped my tag, and didn't even bother picking it up.
The sun was laughing which made me slightly mad.
Even the sun was happy.
And I wasn't.
I fiddled with the end of my sweater, daydreaming about the memories of my mother and I , and not noticing the same auburn girl come from the side and sit next to me.
"Hey you..." she spoke up making me jump and look at her surprised.
"Hi.." I muttered.
"Why are you here? You waiting for someone?"
"Eh...no. I...I didn't find a weapon, and..."
"That's cool. I'm meister-less."
A long pregnant pause took place, as I looked at the sky, awkwardly.
"Uh...my name's Eira. Eira Ratienta."
"I'm Adil." I smiled at her slightly.
"So...you don't have weapon. And I don't have a meister..."
"You want to be my partner..?"
"Yeah sure. If our soul wavelengths match, that is." she stood up, scratching her cheek.
"How do we do that?"
"Well , I'll transform into my weapon form and you try to hold me. If you can our soul wavelengths match, if you don't then our soul wavelengths don't match." she grinned and flicked a strand of hair out of her face. "Ready?"
"Sure." I nodded.
She jumped and like Patti, the other day, turned to a purple light, then got smaller and into a weapon.
It looked...like an axe. With purple and red ribbons, tied at the top.
I stared at her weapon form as it dropped and smashed to the ground.
"Idiot! Why didn't you catch me? That hurt!"
"You're an axe?"
"No! I'm not an axe! That's Fuji! I'm a Halberd! Don't you know anything about weapons?"
"Well , what do I do now?"
"I said that minutes ago. Hold me."
I was surprised when I picked her up. The halberd was very light.
"Woah...you're not heavy..."
The halberd shook, and twisted, untill the sharp part was a few centimeters by my face . "I'.FAT."
"But I didn't say that! I said you were light!"
"So before you thought I was fat!"
"No, no! I thought that...our soul wavelengths...you said I wouldn't be able to pick you up if they don't match. And I did puck you up. So...does that mean..?"
"Yeah, you've got yourself a new weapon."
She transformed back into her human self.
She held out a fist and smirked, "Mesiter?"
I smiled and bumped fists with her, "Weapon."
She told me that I'd be moving in with her, because her former meister was getting kicked out.
We talked for about two hours, about ourselves and actually came to accept eachother.
I easily made a new friend which was surprising.
Hah! I bet Tatsuo will be jealous that I have a cooler weapon than him.
As we walked our separate ways, Eira called back to me.
"What is it?"
"Don't be a slut like my former meister was! Bye!"
I stared at her back awkwardly...
Slut...?
Eh...whatever. I'm going to go tell Liz!
I ran towards Kid's house, excited.
All that and I never knew that Shinigami was was watching from a long mirror, and chuckling.
0o0
Yeah hers and tatsuo's weapon is revealed.
I'm depressed right now.
I don't think this chapter is good.
I'm sorry if it isn't, the depression is just killing me. And I'm really not in the mood for anything.
So...yeah.
Enjoy this chapter I guess
