The following is rated M because I'm a pussy and it has strippers in there so men, take out your singles!
-Life After Death-
The current state of Death City was nothing more than ruins. After the DWMA had lost the home front battle, no one who hadn't already evacuated dared to stay in this witch infested hell hole. There were only prisoners that were forced to stay, and one was currently running for his chance at freedom. His beach blonde hair was matted to his skull with sweat and blood. His feet ached, and he felt the sting of the blisters with each hurried step he made.
This was his only chance to escape, his only way to get help for his friends. This thought made him run even faster. He couldn't get caught now, not after all the trouble they went through to get him out. He had to escape; the only obstacle in his way was a young witch that had been sent to retrieve him.
He twisted his head just enough to see if she was still chasing him and when he saw only a shattered city he stopped to catch his breath. Leaning his back against a former house, he closed his eyes and took a quick rest. A bored sigh interrupted this, and he immediately turned to look up at a girl who seemed to be in her teens.
"This is boring…" The witch commented, her expression was plain and her brown eyes were dull. When she first heard that she had to capture an escapee, she thought it would cure her never-ending boredom. Now, seeing how easy this was to do, she was disappointed.
The boy didn't respond; he simply dashed down the street. The girl sighed at his useless efforts. Didn't he realize that even if he did get past Death City's boundaries, there was nothing but smoldering hot sand for miles?
Nonetheless, it was still her mission to take him back, and that's what she would do. Hopping off the building, she started to calmly walk towards the weapon.
The blonde swiftly turned the corner, only to be greeted with a dead end. His golden orbs widened in shock for a few seconds, before he tried to exit the alley way. His efforts were halted as he saw the girl casually walking down his path.
The brunette sighed once more. "I really hoped this would be more of a challenge," she said before raising her arm. "Quills, pines, pins and pines, needles quills and pines." As she chanted, her magic started to take the form of three long rods that resembled porcupine quills.
"Pin shots."
The quills immediately shot towards the boy, pinning him to the brick wall by his clothes. He gritted his teeth and bowed his head, as if waiting for her to deliver another blow.
"Don't worry," The witch told him. "It will only hurt a little…" With that being said one last quill was launched at the boy's head.
-Life and Death-
Orange eyes that belonged to a young girl slowly slid open as the harsh rays of the sun went through the window. She shielded her eyes with her palm and let out a small moan, before sitting her upper body up and running her fingers through her long, white hair.
After closing her eyes for a moment, she looked over to the other bunk beds in the wooden cabin. The ones she saw were empty, meaning that she slept in later than usual. Hopefully, she wouldn't miss breakfast like last time.
Deciding to find out sooner rather than later, she got off of her bed and did her morning stretches. She then turned her head towards the door, only to be met with a pillow slamming into her face. Even though the object was light, it had enough force in it to send her falling to the ground on her back.
"Irin!" A voice cried out in shock and disbelief. The girl's lips quivered, before she fell to her knees at the sight of Irin's body twitching with shock. How could she let this happen? She promised herself she wouldn't let anyone get hurt, but now…
Fake anger filled her body, as she clutched the pillow she was currently holding tightly. Her red, copper, purple and blonde hair covered her eyes as she gritted her teeth.
"Scout…" She said, addressing the slightly shorter girl behind her. Said girl just smirked, with a devious glint in her bright emerald eyes.
"I told you, Ehron, if you went down this path you wouldn't like the results." She said nonchalantly, twisting a medium length strand of dark gray hair. The other girl just looked up with a look of anger in her bluish-green eyes.
"You will…die!" Ehron shouted, instantly jumping up and swinging her pillow at the gray haired girl's head. Scout ducked, dodging before retaliating with a swing of her own.
Irin sighed after taking the pillow off of her head. She then smiled lightly at the two girl's silly antics, they were always entertaining everyone even if they wanted it or not. Seeing them made her think that maybe she didn't wake up that late after all and that there was still a chance to catch breakfast.
She got up off of the floor and slipped off her navy blue nightgown before changing into her usual outfit, which was a complicated black dress over two different colored stockings and black high tops. Instead of leaving her hair loose, she tied it in a loose braid and put her black head band above her bangs.
Deciding that she would rather bathe at night, she left out the back door of the cabin and headed towards the "mess hall". When she was climbing down the porch steps, she noticed Scout and Ehron on the ground with Scout on top of the girl, shoving a pillow in her face.
This caused the white haired girl to sweat-drop. She was sort of used to their childish behavior, but she never got how people could act like that without holding grudges.
"Die!" Scout yelled, loud enough for the rest of the girls in the cabin to hear.
The girl still inside slung an arm over her eyes, as she could still hear the obnoxious yelling of the two girls even from outside. Unlike her cabin mates, she didn't have the urge to pop straight out of bed and greet everyone with a smile or pillow to the face. She growled slightly before rolling over on her other side to be greeted with a girl who had light blonde hair.
Narrow hazel blinked, before widening in realization. "What the fuck, Skyler!?" she asked in shock. Usually, when she woken up by a person, it was because they were being unnecessarily loud, not because they were in her bed.
Skyler was unaware of her feelings because she was barely awake. When she heard her name, she instinctively wrapped tan arms around the other girl's neck. This made the girl immediately tense and twitch at the other girl's skin touching hers. It was bad enough that she seriously invading her personal space, but this girl apparently only slept in her undergarments.
All in all, the whole situation would make even the calmest girl freak out. Which is what this girl did.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BED!"
Scout ceased trying to suffocate her friend when she heard the shout she recognized as Zero's. Her eyes then widened when she saw Skyler's body flying out of the cabin. The blonde then face planted in the dirt leaving a small rut.
Ehron removed the pillow from her face and looked over at her friend, before frowning.
"Damn it, why can't it be raining men instead?"
"Because apparently fan service is only for guys, and dykes." Scout explained with a smirk, before getting off of her. She went over to the blonde and lightly stepped on her head
"Hey, you dead girl?" She asked the blonde.
The girl simply poked her head up from the dirt and looked at Scout with icy blue eyes, before laughing softly. She rolled herself on her back and continued her laughter.
"Zero's foots touched my butt!" She exclaimed.
Ehron would have responded, but a loud ringing throughout the camp interrupted her.
"We will be meeting in sector one in thirty minutes. I repeat, we will be meeting in sector one, in thirty minutes."
A clicking sound was heard when the speakers were shut off. All the girls looked at each other, before going back into their cabin to get dressed for today's lesson.
When Scout walked to her bunk bed, she looked at the bottom bed and saw dirty clothing hanging on the ladder. She raised an eyebrow before taking them and throwing them on the ground.
"Damn it, where did that Sai go this time!?"
-Life And Death-
A tan digit lifted her finger off of the intercom button. The woman attached to it sighed in frustration. It had been a whole year, and they were still doing only one thing; training. Of course, she couldn't blame anyone. The Shinigami had died, and the witches had taken over. No one expected it to be easy, or to even have attempted one attack on the monster who was the cause of this.
Even if they did have an opening to attack, she wouldn't risk it. The students were far from ready to go up against this big of a threat. The students she had rescued were all in different power levels. Some hadn't even gotten to the EAT class. A year wasn't enough to prepare them for what would lie ahead if they did attack. She knew this…but why did she feel so disappointed about it?
She would never want to risk the lives of her students, but maybe that wasn't what she felt guilty about. Was it that she could've led the remaining adult meisters and weapons to do this attack? No, even then it wouldn't be alright, because if they died, then the students would be on their own.
She sighed, all what was left to do was train and guard the item she swore to protect with her life, and hope that things would get better before they got worse.
A knock on the main cabin's door interrupted her thoughts.
"Come in," The woman called, and a man in his early-twenties entered with a big grin on his face.
Her red eyes softened when seeing him, and gave him a concerned smile. "Are you sure you want to go so soon? I'm pretty sure we all can last for another week." She said. As usual, her concern for others was blocking her judgment.
He pushed up his round, orange-colored glasses, and kept his grin at her obvious concern. "Come on now. You really think that this is a big challenge for me? Really, Serissa, I thought you would have more faith in me than that."
Serissa sighed while tucking a short strand of white hair behind her ear. "Of course I have faith in you, Cooper, but that doesn't mean I can't have concern." She looked at the ground as the negative thoughts that ran through mind.
Cooper just put a hand on her shoulder. "It's going to be a simple trip to get more canned food and come back. The kishin and witches don't even patrol that market anymore. You know that."
Serissa smiled softly at his incorrect reasoning. "Yes, but that doesn't mean the way there is completely free of danger."
He just shook his head. "Oh Rissy, Rissy, Rissy. We'll be laughing about this when I come back, I promise. Trust me, the only danger that there is going to be on this trip is Samantha and her clip board of death." He said, referring to his weapon. "So, relax…"
Serissa took a calming breath and nodded at him. "Alright, but promise me you'll be careful."
"Eh, I'll leave that up to Sammy." Cooper said, before heading out the door. He stopped in the frame and looked back at her. "We'll be leaving at night, so you can enjoy my presence until then." He said, grinning at her playful eye roll.
He then left the cabin and made his way down the steps. Even though he had his soul sense, he didn't notice the girl sitting under the stairs. She was currently playing with her red beret as she listened to Serissa's movements.
"Cooper-kun is going somewhere at night?" She asked herself. "That sounds fun! Sai wants to go too!" She said, clutching her beret to her chest before placing it sloppily on her long brown hair. She then crawled out from under the cabin and was going to follow Cooper, but her stomach growled. Blinking, she realized that she was hungry and looked around for the "mess hall".
"Here mess hall…" Sai called out to it, hoping that it would answer, but when it didn't she pouted and walked in a random direction.
"Sai still can't wait to go on an adventure, it will be so much fun!"
