"But I want it!" A little girl's voice bounced off the white and tan tiles of the supermarket, her whining tone specifically tooled to get her way. The pout on the girl's face was adorable, fit for a doll's face.
Her whines attracted the attention of other customers who were a few feet away, earning a few laughs, as well as a few people walking away.
"No Adil, you know what that stuff does to your teeth." An older, more mature female voice spoke to the young girl, it's owner resistant to the girl's cute charms.
The said child looked up with big blue eyes at her mother, while putting back the box of caramel lollipops where she found them, although begrudgingly.
She looked back at the candy and her gaze drifted to the other boxes neighboring the one she wanted. Her eyes widened as she spotted her mother yards away the candy aisle.
She quickly ran to her side, her white sundress flailing as she did. Her new black dress shoes squeaked on the shiny tile floor. She was the perfect image of a doll, dressed up in her cute little outfit, porcelain face without the worry lines her mother bore.
Her tiny hand clutched the hem of her mother's shirt and she looked around, searching for an interesting object to beg for.
"Mom can I get the chocolate bunnies?" Her small index finger was pointed at a medium sized colorful box with a chunk of chocolate in the form of a rabbit. Her eyes were wide as dinner plates, and her teeth bright and white as she displayed her childish glee in her smile.
The mother looked down at her child with half lidded eyes, and sighed, "Go ahead."
The child's eyes twinkled with pure delight.
"Yes!"
OoOoOoO
I stared blankly at the black wall in front of me, remembering the memories I had with my mother. I was lying in bed, back facing Eira who was in her own bed, facing the opposite wall.
We were still giving eachother the cold shoulder. I didn't know when she'd come around and forget about the whole problem. I wanted to apologize but what for? I didn't exactly do anything. This was stupid. Fighting about something so small. Maybe it wasn't... that... small but, I never liked fighting with other people.
Eira didn't bother hiding the fact that she disliked me.
Yesterday, she kept glaring at me in front of the others. She 'accidentally' tripped me, and she got the last pudding cup in the cafeteria, which was supposed to be MINE.
I didn't bother doing anything. That's what my mother used to do. Ignore her problems, so I'll do the same. She was an aloof person, that much I can tell.
I looked over at the glow in the dark watch I had, and it was three hours after midnight. I couldn't sleep at all. There was too much to think about. The fight with Eira, Lucrezia's reaction when I told her I was suspicious of her, and my secret.
I sighed irratibly and scrunched my eyes shut, trying to sleep.
Seconds stretched to minutes and still, I was wide awake.
I growled mentally and slammed the covers on the wall before stomping out of the room and going to the balcony. I didn't care if it woke my housemate up, I could care less at the moment.
When I stepped on the moonlight reflecting white tiles I shivered from the cold. There were raindrops on the balcony, from early yesterday. I sat on one of the plastic chairs and bent my head back looking up at the sky, the apartment's roof covering it slightly.
Street lights were blinking off and on, and everything was quiet. The moon above the city had the same bloody grin as always, predicting a night of blood.
The silent wind rustled the trees below and gave me goosebumps. I shivered and patted my feet on the semi wet floor.
I felt drops of ice cold water on my scalp and I looked up to see where it came from. It was a black cat staring at me from the roof of the apartment.
I looked startled for a moment as it jumped down and landing on the railing of the balcony. It looked familiar. And it was wearing a black hat, the tip of it curling multiple times.
"Hey there!" it grinned, waving it's paw.
I gulped... it was that ...promiscuous lady. What was she doing here? I groaned mentally, "Hi...um ...what are you doing here?"
"I have no one to play with! Soul and Maka are sleeping, and I can't seem to find any of my cat friends. Do you want to play?" she asked jumping down and skipping towards me.
I nervously moved the chair away and sat farther.
"Hey, what's wrong? You don't want to play? But it's so boring! Please!" she whined jumping on my lap.
My breathing stopped and I stood up, making her fall down and look up at me, "I'm not in the mood to play. Go away please."
"Oh is something bothering you? You can tell me, and I'll help!" she meowed, giving that catty grin of hers. I was starting to wonder if it was a permanent part of her face.
"I don't want to tell my feelings to a cat. What would you even know?" I heard a poof and smoke covered her small feline form. In her place was that purple haired, golden eyed woman. Thankfully she wore something appropriate, so I wasn't going to flip out.
"I'm a good listener! I know everything about feelings and emotions! I know how to help so just start talking. Oh is it about a boy?" she asked looking down at me with those sun colored eyes of hers.
"N-no...it's not about a boy." I grumbled thinking of a smiling Tatsuo.
"You failed an exam? That Ox kid got higher than you?"
"That's Maka, not me... Why would I even tell you? I don't even know who you are! Or anything about you!" I huffed wishing she would go away and never come back. My mood was obviously affecting my train of thought.
"You don't want advise? Fine then." She got ready to jump off the balcony when I stopped her.
"Wait..."
"Yes?" She had a small smile as she turned her head in my direction, almost as if she had expected me to do that.
"What... Advise do you have...for being in a fight with a friend?"
She put her fists on her hips and grinned. My eye twitched...was what I just said...a good idea?

It was a few minutes untill sunset as I stood outside of the door of Eira and my apartment. A navy colored school bag was in my hand, being dragged on the dirty floor.
I sighed irritably, digging in my black pants pocket for the key. What another boring day at Shibusen. Always studying about souls, witches, magic and so much more boring subjects.
I heard the lock unlocking and I slowly opened the grey door. It squeaked slightly in the process, the handle's rust grinding on my hand.
I looked around blankly at the pitch black room. The shades were closed but orange rays peeked in the room through the gaps. I sat the bag next to the door, that I didn't bother to close.
I walked a few steps and stopped in the middle of the living room. The rays hit my clothes and made many striped orange lines on my dark outfit. I blinked as it came in contact with my eye, and I looked away before the light made me see dots. Something felt off about the whole thing.
"Eira! Are you in here?" I called but no response was heard, "Hey, Eira!"
The sound of the blinds scraping the wall and window startled me. The wind blew in through the gaps and into the room, making paper fly, and a small lamp to crash and break on the floor. I sighed, angrily and began picking up the pieces, when the door squeaked. From my squatting position, I turned my head to look at it.
"Probably the wind..." I mumbled throwing the broken pieces into a trash tin in the corner. I took a broom to the small pieces, in case someone stepped on them, and the the sun was set. The dark purple hue made the room even more dark, and I flipped on the lights.
I changed into my pajamas, white long sleeved shirt, with pink hearts on it, and matching pants. My bare feet padded against the tiles, as I walked into the bright white and green kitchen. I wanted to make some herbal tea, and relax. I loved that after a tiring day.
Eira seems to be out somewhere. She hasn't left any notes.
After I poured the ready tea in my mug I sat down on the table's white chairs. I looked around bored at the kitchen, my gaze lingering on the fridge the most.
I heard a shuffling noise behind me, and I turned my head a bit. I gasped almost dropping the tea as Black Star's face was next to mine grinning toothily.
"Hey Adil, mind if I crash in?" He continued to grin standing behind me.
"How'd you get in here? When?" I hollered, still shocked. My heart was beating rapidly at the moment, hammering against my ribcage like an African war drum.
"I'm the great assassin Black Star! What do you think?" he boasted, pulling my arm and dragging me out the kitchen, "Come on, I have to show you something! Come here!"
"Augh what is it now?" I groaned.
He flicked off the lights, and stood still in front of me. I stared confused at him.
He turned around,facing me. The normal, toothy grin was gone, twisted into that slasher grin that sent shocks rocketing through my system.
"What's wr-" I stopped mid-sentence eyes wide. His hand was outstretched to my torso,and there was blood splattered all over it. I slowly looked down and my breathe caught in my throat at the sight of a knife, that was implanted in the middle of my chest.
We just stood there, still, him staring at me, while I looked down at the weapon in his hand. Time seemed to be ground to a complete halt. I suddenly felt pressure near my collarbone and throat. I choked out a cough, and fell on my knees, hacking up blood all over the floor and his shoes. I didn't feel any pain at all. It didn't even feel like he stabbed me, but I knew he did, by the scarlet contrast on the tiles.
The crimson blood soaked my white shirt, making it a dark burgundy. The warm liquid trailed down my mouth like a waterfall, onto my chin and throat. I felt a hand grip my chin, and my head was drawn upwards.
I froze as I saw him aiming the knife at my head. A few seconds later, I finally realized it was in my forehead. Blood rolled down my face. I looked up at him, to find that fearsome smile on his face. What scared me more was that his eyes weren't their round shape anymore. they were slitted, like a felines and were a glowing red.
He laughed darkly, and twisted the knife that was still lodged in my forehead. And yet I didn't feel anything. His laugh made my skin crawl, as it echoed throughout the apartment.
He then plucked the knife out of my face and held my right wrist. He held it to the floor and I watched as he raised the knife in the air before slicing off my hand, like a chef would chop vegetables.
I stared at my arm, horrified. The pure white bone was sticking out, with blood and muscles attached to it. Tears began forming in my eyes, and he continued with my neck, then my other wrist, until I was nothing more than a pile of parts on the floor.
All I heard before falling into unconsciousness was his evil, chilling laughter.
My eyes snapped open, as I put a hand on my chest calming my heart down, sweat drenching me and the sheets.
I was in bed, facing the wall again.
"Just a nightmare..." I mumbled and sat up, the adrenaline from said dream wearing off to leave me shakey.
I looked at the blinking clock on the nightstand and it read, seven fifteen.
I panicked and groaned. I was going to be late! Where's Eira? I looked at her neatly made bed.
She didn't wake me up... Jerk... I could see why people strove not to make her angry. She was a downright **.
I hopped from my bed, and ran like tornado, brushing my teeth, putting on a random outfit, and combing my untamed hair.
Blair advised me to make a freshly made breakfast for my friend, in order for her to see my regret for fighting.
I couldn't do that since Eira already left, and I couldn't cook.
A sigh escaped my nose as I bent down to tie my black laced shoes.
Today I wore a plain white t-shirt, a red hoodie over it and dark blue jeans. No time for something elaborate.
I haulted when I came to the living room, where my dream took place in.
What the heck was that even about...? I'll just go to the school library and check out a dream interpretation or something. I hope I never have that disturbing nightmare ever again.
I shuddered as I closed the apartments door, and ran down the stairs, to the streets.
It took about ten minutes to get to the school, and I was surprised to see no one outside. I blinked and gasped. Maybe everyone was already in class! I quickly ran in the school, not noticing someone in front of me, and we both crashed to the floor, with a dull thud.
I groaned and opened my eyes to see Kid on the floor next to me. He was wearing his usual black suit, with the white rectangles lined symmetrically.
I stood up, and helped him, while muttering an apology.
He dusted off his suit and looked up at me.
"Why aren't you in class? Didn't it start already?" I asked looking around the hallways. No one was there.
"My father called today off." he replied walking away, with me following.
I was confused, "Huh? Why?"
"Accept for a few, the entire student body is out sick. We called their homes, and they told us they were ill. Both weapon and meister. The only ones who aren't are you, Liz, Patti, Eira, Lucrezia, Ray, Crona, Black Star and Tsubaki, Kilik and the twins, Lea and Fuu, Rane and Levi, and me." he stated, going in the doors to the Death Room.
My eyes widenedas the severity of the situation crashed down on me. "We're the ONLY ones NOT sick! What are they sick with?" There was a pause as Kid shook his head, rubbing the corners of his eyes. He must have been up early.
"We don't know. All they told us, is that they're pale, tired and dizzy."
We stopped in front of the platform which Eira, Liz, Patti, Spirit, Stein, Shinigami-sama, Sid and Nygus were all standing on.
I looked at them awkwardly, avoiding eye contact with Eira.
They were all dressed in their signature outfits.
Liz was next to Eira and Patti, who had some sort of device in her hands.
The adults were huddled in a circle talking.
"Have you found out anything yet?" Kid asked walking up to the older people, his tone serious.
Stein was the first to speak, "Nygus, Sid, Spirit and I will split up and go to multiple houses of the sick kids. We want to check if they have the same symptoms, maybe take a few samples, and we'll meet up here to analyze what exactly is wrong with them. We're suspecting the food in the cafeteria, so Issippi and a few other teachers are examining the ingredients that were used in the food."
The red haired man looked at Shinigami-sama with a dead serious face, "If all of those children are sick, why are there a few who weren't affected? It doesn't make sense..."
Kid's dad paced around the platform humming to himself. His cheery attitude clashed horribly with the tense atmosphere. "You four go split up and see, and then we'll see what they're sick with. Nygus do you have your book with you?"
The woman in the army-esque pants nodded, "Yes. Here it is, sir." She presented him with a thick book. It looked like a medical one, maybe it was about diseases and illnesses. At least, I hoped so.
The adults went to go do their task while my Liz, Patti, Eira, Kid and I stood, not knowing what to do. Liz and Patti looked worried, while Eira was pacing the length of the room, eyes trained on the ground in front of her. Kid simply had on a mask of indifference, likely to conceal his own worries.
"Do you kids want to help out?" Shinigami-sama's foam like fingers popped up, starling Eira into halting, and drawing the attention of the others.
"Yeah, just tell us what to do." Liz said shifting her weight on one leg while putting a hand on her hip.
"Yeah, Yeah!" Patti cheered, making an attempt at being cheerful.
He thought for a moment, "Kid-kun. I need you to go help the teachers that are studying the cafeteria. Eira and Liz, you two can go help the other students lock the classrooms and such."
"What about Patti and I?" I asked looking at the blond girl who was playing with the machine in her hands.
"Oh, you two can do whatever you want. You can go home if you wish." He said turning around, and I felt a bit left out... Were we not important too?
I found myself walking in the hallways of the school, Patti by my side. I looked at the cheery girl, noticing something small in her hand. "Uh Patti? What's that in your hand?"
"It's a tape recorder! I bought it yesterday! I'm gonna go and sneak up on people and record what they say!" She grinned running of at breakneck speed, leaving behind a cloud of dust. It left me to wonder if her cheery disposition was an act or not...
"You do that..." I mumbled, heading for the library. I wasn't a bookworm like Maka was. Books are boring, and reading wasn't my thing. But I was curious about the nightmare I had, finally reminded of it after the shock of the situation finally wore off. I was fascinated by the hidden meanings in dreams. They were so ...amazing.
I didn't expect to find a dream dictionary, since all they teach here is about souls and whatnot.
The library was empty. Not even the librarian was there. I could read out loud without anyone telling me to shut up. It was actually kind of tempting, doing something that was normally frowned upon. I sat in a wooden table and looked at the book in front of me.
It was a dark blue leather covered book with 'Dream Dictionary' written in bold silver letters. I opened it and looked at the index. I looked around the table searching for a piece of paper and pen.
I found a pencil and a sheet of paper that was already written on. I flipped it and began thinking. What was in the dream I had?
There was a kitchen. Blood. Evil laughs. A knife. Killing. Feeling of being scared. And I did seem to stare at the fridge a lot. Wonder if it means anything...
So I searched for the first word. Kitchen.
"Page...fifty six." I muttered turning to it, while my left hand was a bookmark for the index page. "To dream about a kitchen signifies the dreamer's need for emotional and spiritual nourishment."
I paused. Well that...was a bit true.
Next in line was blood and evil laughs. Page twenty-three and seventy nine.
"Blood in a dream can have many meanings. To dream that you are bleeding represents feeling a loss of power. You may be suffering from exhaustion or feeling emotionally drained. It may also denote bitter confrontations between you and your friends. Your past actions may have come back to haunt you. Try to avoid any sort of controversy with friends or family. To hear evil, demonic laughing in your dream represents feelings of humiliation or helplessness."
Damn...how true could this get? It's starting to creep me out.
I looked at the paper, that I wrote the subjects on. Knife, Killing, and being afraid.
"Dreaming about being killed means that there are drastic changes occurring in your life. Dreams about knives mean you can solve your problems by being honest with others about your fears and anxieties. Feeling scared in dreams signifies that your achievements may not be as successful as you had hoped. You are having anxieties around certain circumstances of your life, possibly related to people who you are not able to trust. However, your worries will be temporary and short-lived."
Being honest to others? Tell them my secret? Having anxieties around Lucrezia, since I don't trust her?
I gulped silently, "My life, right now, was explained in the most weirdest way in that dream." I shuddered from the thought and looked at the last word. Refrigerator. I checked it out and it meant that I needed emotional and spiritual nourishment. Nothing new there.
I closed the book and sighed. Well I know what the dream means now. I'll get out of here now.
I stared at the closed library doors and walked away from the library, my black shoes' thuds echoing in the empty hallways.
I stopped for a moment looking out of the circular windows.
All of those kids... They're sick. Even Tatsuo.
What was going on in Shibusen?
I looked down for a moment before looking up again.
I was going to visit him.
0o0
It took a few minutes for someone to open the door. I didn't expect them to be that tired. Fuji who opened the door gave me a small smile, and I noticed just how disheveled he looked.
"What are you doing here?" He looked at the bouquets of lavenders in my hand. He was dressed in white sports pants and a yellow sweatshirt.
"I came to visit you." I said stepping in the large house, which was passed on to Tatsuo.
"Me? Or Tatsuo?" He smiled as I blushed and glared at him.
"Both of you. The others couldn't make it. Soul and Maka are sick. Eira, Liz, And Kid are helping out in the school, and I haven't seen Black Star, Tsubaki Lucrezia or Ray. Kid told me they were in school, with Crona." I stopped and looked at him. He had a hand on his head, and a frustrated expression.
"Ugh... Damn. I'm getting more nauseated. Tatsuo's in the living room, if you want to go make out with him." I resisted the urge to kick him, and followed him inside.
I walked away as he went to kitchen to get some medicine. I saw the albino lying on a brown fluffy couch, dressed only in black shorts. I blushed as I saw his well toned stomach, and I had to slap myself mentally to stop myself from ogling. "Uhm...hi..." he turned his head in my direction, surprised.
The living room was a mess. Empty water bottles were strewn about everywhere, stacked up on eachother and littering the floor. Were they THAT thirsty?
His skin was even paler than usual, which kind of frightened me. And his cheeks, nose and forehead were red, just like Fuji.
"Adil? What are doing here...? Shouldn't you be in school?" he mumbled sitting up, and clutching his head, with a forced smile beaming at me.
His eyes had bags under them, and it was obvious he was tired.
"I came here to visit you, since your sick and all. I won't take long so you two can rest up... We don't have school today. It was canceled. Only about fifteen students showed up at Shibusen. The rest are all at home, sick." I stated sitting down next to the pale boy. I handed him the flowers and he looked at them curiously, "I hope you get better."
He smiled warmly at me and I returned it. I looked away blushing after a few seconds and Fuji came back, with multiple bottles in hand.
"So...thirsty..." he muttered opening a bottle and gulping down the water.
I blinked and looked around the room, "You guys drank all of these?"
"Can you blame us? We've never been so thirsty before! What the he'll is wrong with us?" he groaned holding his head.
His face red and sweaty. Not to mention pale.
I sighed, "The teachers are visiting all the other students to see if they're all experiencing the same problems. Others are trying to see if the cause of all this is the food in the cafeteria."
"Wait. So we're not the only ones who are sick?" Fuji asked, burping.
I shook my head," Only around fifteen students aren't sick, including me. The rest are, including Maka and Soul."
"That's...kind of weird." Tatsuo mumbled.
Yeah. So what's-" Fuji stopped in mid-sentence and I looked at him confused.
Tatsuo sighed, "Hurry up, try not to get it on the floor."
I was about to ask what was wrong when the brown haired boy rushed out of room. A few seconds later I heard him puking. I grimaced and plugged a finger in each ear. I had a weak stomach, and hearing him puke will make me too.
I looked at the albino who was scanning the flowers I bought him, "Well I'll go, it seems like you're too sick for company." I stood up and walked to the door, my albino friend behind me.
He looked at me with tired eyes and smiled, "Well say hi to the others."
I smiled at him and nodded, "Get better, okay?"
"I'll try." we both laughed and I walked away as he closed the door.
As I was walking on the streets I looked up at the sky with a frown.
I sighed and hoped the teachers came back with a result.
When entered Shibusen I saw Patti running around and giggling.
"Did you have fun, eavesdropping on people?" I asked.
She nodded fast, "It's so fun! They don't even know I'm there!" she laughed and skipped away. I shook my head and smiled a bit at her cheerfulness. I had to be more like her.
I walked to the cafeteria, looking for Kid. I spotted him standing next to a bunch of teachers who were all talking mindlessly.
"We haven't found a single thing. Are you sure it was the food?" one man asked.
"What else could cause the whole student body to just suddenly go ill?" a blonde woman asked.
Kid sighed and walked over to me, "We haven't found anything, yet. Did Sid and the others come back?" His hands were in his pockets and he had a frustrated expression on his face. The slight cheer I had gotten before vanished then, my stomach twisting.
"I don't know. I just came back from Tatsuo and Fuji's place." we walked out of the cafeteria and to the hallways, which a few kids were in.
"Hey, Kid!" we turned around and saw Kilik, walking towards us, his two weapons following him.
"Did you find anything?" he asked crossing his arms.
"No. We're waiting for Stein, Sid, Nygus and Spirit to come back." Kid answered. He looked around the hallways checking of they were there.
"Liz and Eira told us about what they're doing now. Ox and Harvar have it pretty bad." he mumbled slouching a bit. He reminded me of Soul in a way.
"Doesn't seem like the food was the problem." Kid mumbled.
I looked around and spotted Lucrezia walking with Crona. She passed us without making eye contact. Crona on the other hand looked at us and smiled shyly.
Behind them, Tsubaki and Black Star were following. They both gave us three blank stares as they passed.
"What's up with them?" Kilik muttered. "They weren't even helping at all today. I would see them just going in the nurse's office every now and then."
Kid muttered something I didn't catch and I kept staring at the four who passed us.
I spotted Stein and the rest across from us and I went wide-eyed. I grabbed Kid's hand, "They came back!"
I ran hastily, dragging behind me a frustrated Kid. Kilik shouted and followed us.
We stopped in the Death Room, and I noticed Liz and Eira were already there, waiting for the teachers.
"Good to see you back! Did you find anything?" Shinigami-sama gushed, his happy tone once again out of place.
Professor Stein nodded and looked at Nygus.
Shinigami-sama, Kilik, Kid, Liz, Eira and I turned to the lady.
"Sir, all the students we visited had the same symptoms. Exhaustion, pale skin, nausea, headaches, throwing up, and red faces. They all were extremely thirsty, too. It seems likely they're experiencing dehydration, but I've never seen people that tired because of it. I'll go research-"
"Guys, guys! Hey, look!" All of our heads turned to Patti who came jumping in, interrupting her mid-sentence.
She was grinning ear to ear.
Liz looked at her sister, confusion clear on her face. "What's wrong Patti?"
"Listen to this! I recorded it right now!" she grinned and ran in the middle.
"We don't have time for-" Stein was cut off as the recorder began replaying what Patti recorded.
Kid sighed and rubbed his temples. His weapon was crazy for sure. What would be more important than this situation? I agreed, mentally.
At first it was a scratchy noise then it faded out into a feminine voice, and the click of heels on tile.
"So...how did it go?" the sound of footsteps was heard, from the recorder.
"That sounds like Medusa." Nygus remarked, brows meeting in a thoughtful expression.
"Oh? It seems like they can't find the cause of the illness." A dark chuckle sent a shiver down my spine, and likely, everyone else's. "Good work, everything is going all according to plan."
I saw everyone else tense, and Patti had a determined face on, while glaring at the recorder.
There was a muffled voice if another but we couldn't hear what they were saying.
The first voice spoke again, "Stupid fools. They have no idea that all those children will die in a matter of days...maybe even hours..."
"Where are you going then?" the other voice wasn't so muffled now, sounding closer to the recorder.
"I'll be waiting for you right outside Death City. We need to escape before they find out that I was the cause behind it all. Go get Crona and those two ninja pair. Free and Eruka will meet you outside. And that new kishin of mine, bring her to me. Death City and Shibusen will all fall by my hands..."
"And that's all!" Patti exclaimed. "I couldn't get more cuz she already left. But don't worry, she didn't catch me!" She grinned, and I felt the sudden urge to hug her.
"I don't get it. What plan is she talking about?" Eira asked, sounding a bit excited that we were finally getting somewhere with the investigation.
Stein looked about to answer, but froze suddenly, eyes flickering to the window. " Did you feel that?"
"What an idiot. Removing her Soul Protect at a time like this."
The teachers all shared a face that had a hidden meaning to it. I stared at Stein and he looked back at me for a moment.
"What kishin?" Kilik shouted, panic clear. "What's she talking about?"
"You children stay here. We're going to stop her." Stein mumbled, running out of the Death Room.
I looked at Shinigami-sama who sighed, "I think we have a witch on our hands."
"Why can't you go stop her?" I asked, feeling a bit scared. Was Medusa talking to Lucrezia? She mentioned Crona and Black Star and Tsubaki.
"I can't leave Death City. I have to stay here. Go warn the other teachers. And don't get involved in the fight okay?" he said, and for a fleeting moment, I heard his voice darken with true worry.
Kid glared at the floor than looked up, "Liz, Patti! We're going after Crona, Black Star and Tsubaki! Kilik you go warn the other teachers!"
"Kiddo you can't just rush into a battle without knowing anything." His father scolded, hands held where his hips would be.
His son turned around, just about snarling. "Why did I enroll here if I'm going to stand back and let everyone do the work for me?"
Turning swiftly, he dashed out, Liz and Patti's silver gun forms in hand.
I looked at Eira, and she looked back at me. Electricity flared as black met violet-tined grey, and she started to walk past me, stopping right by my side. "Just get over it, already. We don't have time to fight right now." I mumbled bitterly, and she nodded.
"Don't think I've forgotten about our fight... After this, I still demand an explanation." Light, like the first rays of sun after an eclipse, swept over her form, and left her in the halberd for I was already familiar with. The red and purple ribbon danced without and hint of wind, and her form reflected in the elegant blade.
"I understand... Now, let's go!" We left Kilik and Shinigami-sama behind to join our friends, footfalls pounding off the walls like my heart inside my chest. Adrenaline and anger pulsed through my veins like liquid fire, and I let out a battle cry, which was echoed by Eira.
"I KNEW she had something to do with it!" I whispered to myself excitedly, thinking of Lucrezia. Now I had the proof to go with it as well!
