This...was the THIRD time.
"Dammit Eira, open this door! I'm sorry okay?"
I pounded my fists on the grey door.
Yes, Eira, my partner has kicked me out of our apartment.
How oh so sweet of her...
We got into a fight, that led to her saying:
"I wish I had a better meister."
And then led me to say:
"I wish my weapon wasn't so snobby."
Then which led to me being kicked out and her saying "Go find a new weapon."
Yes this was the third time.
The last two times I came back crying and clinging to her feet, begging her to take me back.
Noone was good enough.
Once there was a guy obsessed with astronomy , and a wannabe fortune teller girl, who predicted that in five years I'll be eaten by giant talking pickles.
Today, was Saturday.
And at Shibusen , some kids were there taking extra lessons, or just reading in the Library.
It was a warm day, sunny and the air was flavored with the scent of mixed flowers.
So this is how my problem would be solved.
I would go to the academy, find a weapon, spend a day with them, then ditch and go cry to Eira.
I wonder who'll be my target this time.
I walked on the lively bright streets of my new town.
Most of the buildings were an off white and had red roofs.
As I was walking, humming to myself , I felt a strong force on my head and I fell on the side.
The side of my head was pounding.
It hurt, and I opened my eyes to see a ordinary basketball sitting right next to me.
"Oops, sorry dude." A familiar voice said from above me.
The person's shadow covered my form and they picked up the basketball.
I glared up at the person who just indicated me as a guy.
"Whoa! Adil? Oh I thought you were-" Black Star snorted and clutched his purple long-sleeved covered stomach. "You sure aren't developed!"
I screamed embarrassed and hit him on the head, not noticing others come from the basketball court to see the scene.
"Stupid blue haired pervert!" he continued to laugh.
"Eira kicked you out again." Maka stated,rather than asked.
She wore pink pants and a black T-shirt .
"...No." I lied, looking at them.
"Liar,liar,pants on fire!" Patti sang and pointed a finger at me, next to Tsubaki.
"Okay yeah, I'm going to Shibusen to go find a weapon." I grumbled , as Black Star was trying to shoo a fly away.
"Then she'll go crying to Eira at the end of the day..." Soul mumbled, his hands in the blue pants he wore.
"I will NOT!" I crossed my arms over my green hoodie, and raised my nose up high in the air.
My eyes snapped open and I grinned.
"Oo, instead can I join your game?" I said hopefully.
"Sorry, no. You suck at basketball. You're too small to shoot the ball." Black Star spun the ball like a pro, on his middle finger, and rolled it across his arms and shoulders to the other middle finger.
"Hey that's not fair, everytime I get the ball and try to shoot, you,Patti, and Soul attack me like I'm a piece of meat!" I stomped my brown sneaker covered foot on the cement ground and clenched my fists under my hips.
Patti laughed at the remark, while the mature ones being Maka,Liz and Tsubaki sighed quietly.
Soul just yawned, tired of the talking.
"Where's Kid?" I asked, not seeing him with the whole group.
"School." Liz and Patti said, simultaneously.
"Well, okay gotta go, bye guys see you later!"
"Bye." they said simeltaounesly.
I nodded and headed there, after saying goodbye to my friends.
It took a while to reach to the academy because Eira's place was all the way at the bottom of the city.
As I entered the school area I spotted an all too familiar black and white suit.
"Hey! Kid!" I exclaimed running up to him, my hood flying up and down , as I did.
He turned around, his hands in his pant's pockets," Oh good morning Adil. Is there something you need?"
"Yeah, I figured since your Shinigami-sama's son you'd know some files about weapons without meisters? I need to find one." I asked.
"Ehm, I'm sure he'd know without looking at the files. Eira kicked you out didn't she?" He made a gesture to follow him.
"Wh-...why does everyone...y'know what nevermind." I crossed my arms and raised my face to the sky with an angry face.
We walked under the red torii that were aligned perfectly and led to The Death Room.
"Oh hello! Hello,Kid. Adil. How are you doing this morning?" he asked happily, bouncing slightly.
I smiled at his bashfullness. He was such a good role model.
"Father, Adil wanted to know if there are any weapons that need a meister at the moment." Kid remarked.
"Eira kicked you out again." His father stated.
I gaped at him, and then looked away with a huff.
"Well I'm sorry, there aren't any at the moment but.." he moved while he spoke, and I followed him and looked up with a hopeful face.
"Yeah,yeah? What? What is it, sir?"
"There is this weapon down in the library, I'm sure Kiddo here knows him."
Kids face scrunched up ," You don't mean...?"
" I do. Now please Kid go show Adil, our guest." he pushed us out with his big white hands. Kid had a nerve on his forehead and he stomped to the library, me following wondering what got him so mad.
The library doors were opened dramatically by the boy, and many people peered at us, forgetting their books.
"So, where is this guy?" I looked around trying to spot the stranger. All I saw was normal students, reading or looking through the mass of organized colorful books that were neatly stacked on the overly large wooden shelves.
My eyes stopped and they landed on a white...thing.
It was spinning a white cane around in a circle and dancing on the tables.
It had a long pointy snout, big beady black eyes, and rabbit feet.
It was wearing a long top hat and a dress shirt.
But no pants.
And...it was all white.
"What in the name of goat poop is he doing here?" Kid uttered disgusted.
"What the heck is he?"
"I have no idea, but that's the weapon my father was talking about,Excalibur. He's the legendary holy sword."
"That much praise and it's meister-less? I don't get it...?" I scratched my cheek and raised an eyebrow.
"You'll soon find out..." He grumbled, and we noticed the white creature staring at us.
"Oh that thing is so cute!" I gushed as Kid stared horrified at me.
"It is anything but 'cute'!" He spat.
The thing came walking to us, and as it's feet touched the ground there were these squeak noises.
"I hear you want to be my meister, is that correct?" it pointed the cane in my face.
"Whoa...deep voice, for such a small thing." I snorted, covering my mouth.
This irked him and he pointed the cane closer,"FOOL!"
"The hell is your problem, get that cane out of my face." I made an angry expression, glaring at the rabbit feet creature.
He took a hold of his white cane with both finger-less arms.
"My legend began in the twelfth century." he patted one of his feet in the shiny tiled floor.
I stared blankly at him" Um...okay?"
Kid walked away ,patting my shoulder.
"Do you want to hear my legend?"
"Uh later...my names Adil and I-"
"FOOL!" he poked my nose with the cane.
"Shhh!" many students put their fingers on their lips, and glared.
I stared suspiciously at this so called 'holy sword.'
"I'm not a-"
"FOOL!"
"Can you just shut up and let me-"
"FOOL!"
"You know what, crap for brains? Screw you, I'd rather be weapon-less." I walked away, stomping, and glaring at the large fancy library doors.
"Shhh!"
Dang, that guy was BEYOND annoying, and I barely knew him for five minutes.
I felt a yank on my hoodie, and I was choked backwards.
I fell on my head then flipped backwards ,landing on my stomach.
"I'll kill you..." I muttered angrily ,through the pain. He stood up on my head,and patted the end of the cane on my skull
" My mornings begin with a cup of coffee with cream."
"I don't give a hell if your mornings start with dog shit, get off my head, you freak" I grabbed it's rabbit foot and threw him off, to the side.
He jumped like an acrobat and landed perfectly. "You want to be my meister? You have to complete one thousand provisions in order for me-"
"I don't want-"
"FOOL! How dare you interrupt the great Excalibur."
Now he sounds like Black Star...
I ran away as fast as I could out the library, and outside of the school.
My eyebrow twitched. Okay well, no weapon for me... I'll just go hang out with Kid.
I went inside praying to dear god that I wouldn't run into the white alien.
I'd hide anywhere to escape that retarded thing.
Well...except the boy's bathroom and locker room.
A pat in my shoulder made me turn around," You couldn't handle him?"
I opened my mouth , eyes closed,shaped like 'u's , and my index finger raised to the side of my face,to say something .
"There you are, my dear friends. Do you want to hear my legend?" This made us pale.
Kid and I ran away quickly, leaving Excalibur rambling about his past.
We stopped by the cafeteria and panted.
I looked back , my bangs in my face. "Did we lose him?" I asked hopefully
"Yes, thank-"
"You will provide one thousand provisions, in order to become my meister." he was there,standing in glory in the middle of the empty hallway.
I clenched my teeth and had a worried expression on my face," Leave me alone,I don't want to be your meister!"
"Task number one; Every morning I begin with a cup of coffee." Kid and I ran again,this time further,and in a closet.
"Too...annoying..." I gasped.
" A refreshing morning begins with a refreshing greeting."
Kids were passing by a closed door, and were startled when they heard a high pitched scream, coming from inside the closet.
The door opened and it revealed the scene.
I clenched my ,vein popping, fist around Excalibur's snout like thing, and I threw him across the hallway, a nervous looking Kid behind me.
He hurlled through the air, but right before crashing to the wall, he used his cane to grab a student's neck and he twisted and faced us.
"Fools! Rule number one-hundred and seventy-two , seek harmony seek it thus."
I looked back at Kid with an overexagerated expression," MAKE IT STOP!"
I couldn't take it anymore!
I sped off to anywhere but there.
I found a familiar door, opened it and layer my back against it, then slid down slowly.
"Oh, hello, Adil. What brings you here?" I looked up and saw the school nurse.
"Uh,sorry. I ran away from this annoying person and I just happen to crash here if you don't mind." She turned around, her back facing me
"Oh no no, I don't mind at all. Would you care for a treat?" She held a few colorful lollypops in her hand and smiled.
"No thanks, I don't like hard candy anyway." I said.
"Oh but I'm SURE you'd like these! They're really delicious, everyone got one in he school...even the teachers." she waved them infront of my face.
"Seriously, no thanks." I looked weirdly at her dark expression, but it vanished after a second.
"Oh well looks like I have to get other types of candy then. I'm a little busy now, Adil. Can you come back another time?" I blinked and nodded, and as I opened the door I was met with Lucrezia who had a cut on her face.
It want that major but it needed cleaning fast.
"Oh hey Lucrezia."
"Hi,Adil." she walked past me and let the nurse examine it.
"You two know eachother?" she smiled more at Lucrezia.
"Yeah...anyways bye,I'll see you tomorrow Lucrezia!"I closed the door behind me and turned and froze.
"Rule six hundred and sixty-seven Always praise Excalibur!"
The next thing I knew I was running through the streets of Death City.
I ran fast, so fast I didn't see Liz in front of me looking at me strangely.
She side stepped as I ran past her, but she grabbed my green hoodie, and yanked me up.
"Whoa whoa whoa,what's gotten into you?" she put a hand on her hip.
She wore a pink tanktop and white jeans.
"It's nothing, just some annoying guy at school." I panted , as she put me down on the ground.
I fell to my knees, and gave a relieved sigh. I heard footsteps of others behind me.
"Do we know him?" Maka said from behind me," Oh is he that new weapon of yours?"
I turned around, still on my knees, and breathed in.
"His name is-"
"FOOL! Rule sixty five, Always let me introduce myself." a white cane appeared by my face.
The others stared at the white creature, surprised.
"Ughh...not him again." Black Star made the same face that Kid made when his father mention Excalibur.
"This thing won't stop following me!" I clung to Tsubaki for safety.
"Tell it to go!"
"It's that weird looking alien again!" Patti exclaimed laughing and pointing at Excalibur.
"Hey have you been stalking my friend you white freak?" Black star got close to Excalibur's face, and rolled one of his purple sleeves up,"Hey Adil, do you want me to give this pervert a piece of old Black Star?"
"Black Star don't get into fights now!" Tsubaki scolded holding the back collar of his purple shirt.
"Fool!" He pointed the cane in Black Star's face.
"Get that cane out my face." The bluenette had a dangerous look on his face.
"Do you want to hear my legend?"
"Move that cane bastard." Our ninja friend knocked the cane out of Excalibur's hand. We watched in silence as it flew high and landed in a tree. We looked back at Excalibur slowly, and he still stared at his cane blankly.
His head snapped back to Black Star and be had a murderous glint in them.
"Hya!" he jumped in the air and kicked Black Star's head on the ground.
After hurting the blue haired boy he skipped to the rescue, of his cane.
"Ditch!" Maka screamed, and we all ran away before Excalibur noticed us.
We ran north west, losing him.
"Guys,Patti and I need to go meet up with Kid at the said at twelve we have to meet there." Liz remarked.
"Have fun with the Alien!" Patti squeaked following her sister to Shibusen.
"Me and Tsubaki need to train! So we'll see you later!" Black Star and Tsubaki also left. He's so full of himself that he broke the English rule, of putting yourself last when talking.
"Don't leave me!" I clung to Maka's arm.
She laughed "We're not going to leave you. Come with Soul and I to Culture Cafe."
"What's that?" I asked ,letting go. "
"It's a restaurant with dishes from all over the world. Y'know Swedish, Mexican,Egyptian,Vietnamese,Austrailian" Soul explained.
I nodded and followed them through the hot dry air.
It was a small restaurant , made of grey bricks on the outside and porcelain on the inside.
Since it was a multi cultures restaurant they had lots of decorations from different countries..
They had red Chinese lanterns, flags, and paintings.
They had fake cherry blossom trees, on the corners of the building, and a small plastic model of the Eiffel tower by the entrance.
We sat on a red leather couch, and looked through the menus that were on the table.
A few girls passed by our table and giggled at the annoyed Soul. Maka sent a furious glare at them, getting her book ready.
"This is really weird, I don't know any of this stuff, how am I gonna order?" I looked at the pictures of meals and shuddered.
"Well I'm gonna get some sushi, and eggrolls and vegetable rice." Maka said smiling setting down her menu.
"You eat sushi? That's gross Maka." I said staring at the picture of the Japanese dish.
"It has raw meat in it, I'd never put that in my mouth."
She laughed," It's actually not that bad."
"Hey Maka I thought you hated raw meat?" Soul raised an eyebrow, his menu covering half of his face. The orange shirt and black leather jacket wearing boy ushered the waiter to our table.
"I'm going to force myself to like it." Maka remarked.
"Yeah cuz Soul likes raw-oomf" she jabbed her elbow hard in my stomach, and I curled into a ball, my face on the table and clutched my tummy.
Soul looked at the waiter,"I'll get the Italian spaghetti and iced tea."
The French looking waiter looked at Maka after writing down Soul's order ," And you miss?"
"Some sushi and eggrolls. And the vegetable rice."
"I'll have what he wants, but water instead." I was craving spaghetti, after Soul mentioned it.
"Okay is that all?"
"Yea-" our albino friend was cut off.
"Rule three-hundred and forty nine You must never violate my food preferences."
Our heads jerked to the left to see Excalibur sitting comfortably next to me.
"What the hell are you-"
"FOOL! I will have the vegetable rice." he fixed his hat.
"He's not with us, don't get the or...der." the stupid waiter was gone.
I slammed my fist on the table and glared at the alien ," You aren't supposed to be here!"
"Fool! Rule two hundred and two ,The highest class toilet must be prepared"
"Too bad,geezer. This restaurant has only the normal bathrooms so that's you're only choice if you wanna crap." Soul pointed his thumb over his shoulder with a glare.
Maka shoved Soul's shoulder. "Soul! Don't say that when we're about to eat! We might lose our appetites!"
We stayed quiet after that, listening to the utensils clatter and people talking.
There was a small popping noise, coming from Excalibur.
We stared at him suspiciously.
"Did you just...fart?" Maka's eye twitched.
Since I was the closest to him I smelt it first.
My eyes widened and I gagged and choked .
I covered my nose with my sleeve and glared at the white creature.
"Ugh dude, not cool." Soul gave him a dirty look.
Our food finally arrived and we waited until it cooled down a bit
. With his cane, Excalibur swiped the plate in the air and the boiling hot rice flew on Soul's face.
He shrieked and ran in circles, then wiped his face with his hands and scowled at Excalibur.
"Rule two-hundred and seventy-eight You must never permit carrots in my meals."
"This guy is really starting to piss me off." Soul growled.
Maka sighed and stared at her food," Just finish your meals and we'll leave him."
Excalibur told the waiter to get him another dish, one without carrots.
And when we finished ,Excalibur's food came.
"Wait up my friends." He stated at us as we walked away from the restaurant .
"See ya." Maka laughed.
"Bye!" I giggled.
"Good ridance." Soul grumbled.
"Hey, sorry Adil, but me and Soul have to go."
"Ah,..okay whatever bye.."
Maka and Soul walked off leaving me to do nothing.
I couldn't go back to the apartment.
The sun still didn't go down.
I decided I'd walk a bit around town.
My brown shoes padded against the mosaic like tiles of Death City.
I stared at the bystanders that were selling unnessessary items, such as plastic toys, lollipops, and headbands.
"Hey,hey well wad'ya know? We meet with the princess." I turned and saw Fuji and Tatsuo, who were dressed in tshirts and shorts.
"Hey guys." I smiled and walked over to them.
"How've you been? Why are you out here alone? Is Eira around?" Tatsuo peered around.
"I've been...fine, thanks." I thought of Excalibur," No she isn't, she kicked me out. And I have no one to hang out with." I murmured.
"My little princess kicked you out? Ohhoho, that's my girl, tough and strong." Fuji drooled slightly and I rolled my eyes.
Tatsuo laughed at his friend," Why don't you hang out with us for the day? We haven't spent time together alot."
Fuji snickered," I'll leave you two love birds alone. I'm gonna go to Culture Cafe to get some bubble tea. You want Tater-Tots?" he used his nickname for Tatsuo.
"Yeah get me the coconut one." he replied.
"Hey chick, you want?" Fuji yelled walking away.
"No thanks!" Tatsuo and I walked along the streets of the city talking.
"I heard you had a mission." I gazed boredly at some doves that were flying in circles in the air.
"Yeah ,we barely lived after that. Damn , I'm still bruised." He laughed rubbing his shoulder.
"Get well soon." I smiled and he nodded smiling softly.
"So, uh, tell me more about yourself. You know a bit about me but I still don't know anything about you." I kicked some pebbles.
"What do you know about me?" he stopped and leaned on the wall, hands in pockets.
"Well, I know your half Japanese and German. I know your mom is from Germany, and you know it a little bit. Um, you're a new student like me. You like to wear dark clothing, and that choker on your neck." I pointed." What's it for anyway?"
"To keep girls from choking me from behind."
I glared at him, jealousy burning in my blue eyes.
He stared at me and blinked " Is there something wrong?"
I snapped from my thoughts," Eh..nothing sorry." I looked away awkwardly.
"What do you want to know about me then?"
"I dunno. How was your life before you cane here, to Shibusen I mean."
"Well, I was raised by my parents untill the age of ten. They both died in a car accident. After that I lived with my grandfather. A year later he died, and I became the owner of the house. I had a weapon before Fuji. He was a two handed sword. He left because he couldn't take my quiet personality. The closest friends I have here are Fuji,Soul, and Kid. I like reading about historical events when I'm bored. Favorite genre is horror and mystery. I hate spaghetti and coke."
I glared at him again, and he gave me a strange look.
"I love spaghetti!" I stated.
He laughed and continued " Anyway, I love cats. I wish I had one but due to the missions and work I can't. I guess that's all."
"Well you're an interesting person." I said looking at the exhausted Fuji who came running to us with two big cups of cold bubble tea.
"Where the hell did you go? I was looking everywhere for you!" he handed Tatsuo his drink and wiped his sweaty brow.
"Dude there's this thing in that restaurant that wouldn't stop saying 'Do you want to hear my legend?'" Fuji sipped his drink with a bored expression then got all serious again ," And he made all the pretty girls there stare at me like I was some loser!"
"Sad..." Tatsuo murmured.
"Shut up Hope! You aren't a romantic unlike myself," he grinned cockily," So you don't understand! And Adil, when you two grow up and marry make sure to let him watch romantic movies so he-" He was cut off when Tatsuo splashed his drink on his head,
" Dude seriously shut up!" His face was a light scarlet, and he looked like he was going to strangle him.
I turned pink and tried my best to ignore the comment he said.
"Ah, in my old days,Young love was very common."
Tatsuo stopped in mid punch, and Fuji stopped in mid defense and they looked at Excalibur.
"It's that thing!" Fuji pointed his straw at Excalibur with a disgusted scowl.
"What do you want now? Go away, already!" I glared at at the holy sword with squinted eyes.
"Rule six-hundered and seventy nine I must always have a dehumidifier in my room."
The boys just looked at him weirdly," Uhm ...we really don't care."
"Rule five-hundred and seventy three You're to always stay three steps behind me while walking."
"Is this thing like mental or something." Fuji snorted while drinking his banana flavored drink.
"FOOL!" Excalibur's cane went flying at the brown haired boy's drink.
"What the hell? You owe me a drink, mothe-" Tatsuo grabbed his shirt and walked away with me following.
Excalibur skipped behind us,"Rule five-hundred and seventy three You're to always stay three steps behind me while walking."
0o0
It was sunset and Tatsuo and Fuji had to leave before Fuji killed Excalibur.
I was walking home ,my black hair reflecting the orange glares from the sun.
I was pissed because Excalibur ruined my day.
I was walking with my hands in my brown pants, and eyes closed, with Excalibur behind me.
"Rule five-hundred and seventy three You're to always stay three steps behind me while walking." I ignored him and continued walking through the empty orange ray filled streets.
I looked up at the familiar brown brick building, with an opening and a long staircase that led to the apartments.
Mine's was on the fifth floor.
Excalibur was humming in the evaluator that I was in.
"Shut-"
"FOOL!Rule fifty eight, When I'm humming a tune to myself, you must not speak!" His cane was at my face again and I resisted the urge to break it into several different pieces.
I knocked on the grey door and a smug Eira opened.
"AH i see you came back, like the last times? Did ya miss me? Who was the loser this time?"
I walked in ignoring her comments.
She stared at Excalibur ," What the hell is this animal? Adil, you didn't buy this did you?"
"FOOL! how dare you call me an animal."
"Get that cane out of my face or I'll rip your face off." she threatened.
I sat on the orange couch, staring amusedly at the fight.
"Pick a number , one to twelve."
"Oh so now we're doing math?"
"In the afternoons I have a cup of tea."he stated out of the blue.
Eira stared blankly at him before pointing her finger to the door," Out of my house."
"Rule six-hundred and sixty seven ,Always praise Excalibur!"
"That's it, no more nice Eira."
I laughed and watched as she grabbed his snout and threw him out of the open window.
"I'll be waiting for you, Adil!"
I breathed out a relieved sigh and began telling Eira of my adventure today.
0o0
Okay let's get this straight, NOW.
Next chapter will start the whole climax thing, okay?
But I think I'm going too fast with the story.
You might get confused in the next chapters but don't worry everything will be cleared up in the end.
So what do you think?
Am I going to fast and need more fillers?
Or should I just start the beginning of the climax part?
I know what to do about the whole Medusa thing now. But I'm still confused about the Arachnephobia part.I dont know what to do with er and the others.
After the whole Medusa part, I'll make a sequal to this story. And I need creative ideas about Arachnephobia. Give me ideas after the problem with medusa ,because you'll see how I twisted the story.
I dont want this story to have the same plot as the original one,so I mashed it up a bit and added a few stuff.
Ahhh anyways Did you see the pictures of this story? If not, they're on my profile.
Ipokeyouroar- That's really nice to hear! I'm so happy that you like it! Yes please if you don't mind, I want to see how others think Adil looks like! A yoyo? That's creative and uncommon, go ahead and make the story! I'll be supporting you :D
KittyAttack-Teach me Gerrrmmmaaan! XD
WickedlyMe- lol thank you, and later in the story you'll find out what the noise was!
Purple-eyed Devil- Yeah they really did show him pooping! Lmao there was a 'splash' too! I agree, I type on my itouch and sometimes it changes words by itself that's why you see 'cane' alot when it's supposed to be 'came' , I love the all the OCs in this story 3
Digital Dreamer -Aww yesss, chp 12 was superme FLUFF!
And if youre wondering what i think Lucrezia looks like, its Aisa Himegami, from the anime 'Toaru Majutsu no Index'
ShadowZaku205- Lmao , why? He doesn't act like my Ray? XD I'm glad you actually told others about this story, that means alot to me so thanks!
