A/N I'm not sure what everyone ages are so please correct me if I make a mistake. Also, I realize there hasn't been much relationship stuff going on. This is because I'm trying to add in the plot introduction first. Please leave reviews because I need some constructive criticism. Thanks!

"So you don't even care that I don't have a miester?" I asked Soul.

"Well if you don't know the person you're talking to you're bound to make threats," he replied with a grin.

"Oh well. Now I just need to focus on miessre- oh jeez I'm tripping over my words," I could feel myself blushing as I spoke.

"Ha. So, do you know anyone around here?" Soul inquired.

"Not besides you, Kidd and Maka. And of course Patty and Liz."

"Wow. When did you move here?"

"Well… I think…" I tried to recall when I moved in. "I think it was around May."

"Hm. Where did you go to school?"

"I was homeschooled. After all, it'd be hard to transfer curriculums at the end of the year. We knew since August that we would move, so, you know." I nodded my head.

By now we had reached the store, a small, yellow place with checkered floors. Soul and I walked in, bought a few cans of soup and left. Soul continued to ask about my past for a while.

"So, anyway, how old are you?" Soul asked.

"I'm 14."

"Cool. I'm 15."

Then we saw Kidd and the girls across the street waving at us.

"What do you want?" Soul shouted.

"I think I found Anj a miester!" was the reply. At first I thought nothing of it until Soul looked at me funny.

"How did you know?" I yelled.

"Well it was obvious because you never brought your miester to practice!"

"Oooh! Ok! Who is it?"

"Come to this side of the road!" Kidd said.

Soul and I ran to Kidd.

"Go on," spoke up Soul.

"Well, I think the perfect miester lives in town, his name is Erebus. He is a close friend of mine."

"Dang. That's a cool name. I want that name." Soul said.

"So, have you talked to him about it or what?" I asked.

"Well, I was hoping you could introduce yourself. I don't want it seem like I tried to hook you up with him."

"What about you, Soul, are you coming?" I asked him.

"No, I gotta get home to Maka."

"Bye then!"

"Ok, so how long will it take to get there?" I inquired.

"Around ten minutes, I believe," answered Kidd.

After walking for a while I looked at Kidd. After all, he was pretty intriguing to look at. His three stripes were the coolest thing about him. How did they stay in perfect rectangles? And why where his eyes two different colors? In rings? Unfortunately he caught my stare.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.

"Oh, um, I was just noticing the-" I touched the right side of my head, "stripe-y things."

Then his eyes went wide, and he knelt down on the sidewalk. "You're right, I'm an abomination! I'm filthy and dirty! And unbalanced! Why is there only one set of stripes?! I'm garbage! Asymmetrical garbage! I deserve to die!"

"Oh-um, Kidd?" I asked. I wasn't really sure what to do next, but then he threw his head back and screamed, "I'm useless garbage! I'm a horrible disgusting person who doesn't deserve to live another day!"

That was when I had enough. I backhanded his head twice so he was forced to get up and stop whining.

"You're not garbage! The stripes look really cool! And we have to get to Erebus! Now stop whining and get your ass moving!"

Kidd just stood there looking slightly confused and hurt. "Um, you're right we really should get moving."

"You better."

When we finally got to Erebus' house, I felt like I was going to faint from all the heat. "Quick can we get inside?" I asked. The house wasn't much from the outside. It had a galaxy-blue outside with a few black-curtained windows. The roof had black shingles and the white door was quite beckoning. There was a bronze scythe knocker.

"Kidd can we please just go in?" I pleaded.

"No, it is proper etiquette to knock before entering any one person's house." Jeez, he was a walking manners dictionary.

"Then please just knock would you?"

After he knocked I heard the heavy footsteps of who I assumed to Erebus trudging toward us. I sincerely hoped that he wouldn't be a grown man, or I would die. My heart raced with anticipation to see him; my possible miester; my possible friend.

When the door opened I screamed inwardly. An old man wearing a suit not much different than Kidd's stood in the doorway.

"Um, we're looking for Erebus?" I said.

"Yes, yes of course," the old man spoke in a rather nasal voice." He left the door open a sliver. We heard him call for Erebus. Next, we heard the slightly flat-footed sound of feet. A song played in his headphones. I could hear the drums. Then the old man moved out of the way to reveal the appearance of Erebus. I secretly hoped he was hot. Like, that would be cool. Ha, that would be a cool thing for a cool girl like me. That's how cool relationships start.

The boy that stood before was hot. I wasn't even joking. He had black hair that was slightly ruffled, and wore a black hoodie and blue jeans. I was definitely going to faint now. His cheekbones were amazing, and his being was just so…. Appealing.

"H-hi…" I began, but stopped when a look of utter disgust came over Erebus' face. I looked down at the cement I was standing on and wondered why I couldn't be cute. God, why did everything have to be so difficult when you're ugly?

"Gerard, are my cookies burning?" Erebus said. I looked back up. That explained his look.

"Oh my, I do believe so!" crowed the old man. He rushed off into the dark house.

"This is Angarika, or Anj," said Kidd.

"I'm a demon scythe. I was wondering, to put it very bluntly, if I could be your weapon. Kidd said he recommended me."

"Well, a, I have no idea who you are. B, Kidd recommended you so come in for burnt cookies and most likely orange juice." Erebus invited.

"Thanks, but I have to be home by 5 and it's…" I glanced at my iPod, "3. So I might have to leave randomly."

"Very well, I won't keep you for long."

"Jeez, are you a walking information packet? You, Kidd, who's next?" I asked.

"You know Kidd over here is obsessed with-" Erebus raised an eyebrow at Kidd. Weirdoes. "Symmetry."

"Yeah I know he had a mental breakdown right before getting here. I had to slap him to get moving." I laughed while Kidd rubbed his head where I hit him.

"Anyway, so what about the weapon/miester thing? Are you open? No? Yes? Still processing?" then I got an idea. "Kidd, can you see if our soul wave lengths are compatible? Please?"

"Sure, hold on a second," said Kidd, while he cleared his plate.

Then his expression went blank.

"I can conclude that your souls are…. Wait," Kidd stopped for a second. "That's impossible"
