Joining the DWMA
Kat's POV
I shook, "J-join the DWMA?" The twins nodded with wide grins,
"That's right." Tomi said,
"That way we can become Lord Death's Death Scythes!" Toshio added. I looked at the ground in fear. I heard rumors that Father was the founder of that school . . . I closed my eyes tight. Oh! How am I going to face him! I can't do it! The two boys raised an eyebrow,
"Huh? What's wrong, Kat?" Toshio asked and I opened my eyes to stare at the ground. Should I just tell them about my past? I might as well since they're my partners, they're worried about me and they just want to help.
"Could we . . . talk at home?" After a moment they nodded and we headed for the house.
The three of us sat in a room, the twins waiting patiently me to explain as I hug my knees close to my chest and have my blue eyes half closed. "Years ago . . . something tragic happened . . . my brother accused me as the cause and banned me from my home so I ran away thinking he would be much happier if I did . . . because I ran away I left my father and he's in the DWMA . . . I just have no idea how I'm gonna face him." They stared at me for a moment,
"What happened? Who are your brother and father?" Tomi asked but I didn't look at him,
"I'd rather not say." He stared sympathetically at me,
"Alright . . . I respect that."
"Thanks guys, it feels good to let someone know about my past." Then Toshio grabbed my arm and he and his brother hugged me tight,
"Anything for our meister." The younger twin said as he ruffled my hair,
"Hey! Hey! Toshio, stop it!" He laughed and released me and I growled as I fixed my pigtails, I sighed,
"That reminds me, since I'm now your meister and a runaway where am I gonna stay?"
"Why not here?"
"After what you guys did? No way!"
"Come on we apologized!" Tomi said and I glared at him with crossed arms,
"Fine, but only if you swear on your lives you won't ever do it again! Geez, I feel like a mother!" The twins stared at me with puppy dog eyes,
"We promise." I facepalmed,
"Ugh."
"By the way, Kat, where'd you get the getup?" I looked at him before at my outfit,
"Huh? Oh, some girls gave them to me."
"You look quite attractive in that." Toshio commented and I growled with a flushed face then pounded him on the head with my fists,
"I said quit it!" I growled then stormed off, "I'm going to work."
"At this time night?" Tomi wondered and I faced him,
"Yeah, I promised Yomi I'd help her put books away."
"Who's Yomi and where do you work?"
"She's someone I work with at the Death City Public Library." Toshio snorted a laugh,
"Bookworm." I growled then stormed out, grumbling to myself. Finally I made it to work,
"Hi, Yomi!" The deep green-eyed brunette turned and beamed at me,
"Kitty Kat!" She ran up to me and hugged me tightly,
"Are you feeling better?" I smiled with a nod,
"Yep! Much better, see all I needed was a good rest." I raised my arm and made a fist at her, "And now I'm ready to be put to work." She winked,
"That's the spirit! Let's get you started; there are a bunch of books on the top level that need to be put away." I nodded,
"Ok, gotcha." I ran off.
. . .
Weeks passed and I stared up at the enormous academy in fear; my legs were frozen to the steps while my weapons walked onto the campus. Toshio cried out with arms spread out, "This place is freaking huge!" He folded his arms behind his head,
"Well, that would make sense judging by how many students it holds." (1) His brother added. The two looked down at me,
"Kat, you ok?" I had my hand clenched over my heart loosely, my legs still shaking,
"I s-still don't know how I'm going to face him."
"You'll be ok, Kat." I flinched with gasp as I saw my partners smiling down at me, their lime green eyes shining with kindness. "'Cause you got us." I watched them then they reached out a hand to me, I smiled with a giggle, my eyes widening, then I grabbed their hands and nodded,
"Yeah." They pulled me up to their sides and we entered the building.
Kid's POV
"Attention, everyone." Stein said as he glared at us, light striking one of his lenses, "We have a new student attending here so please give her a warm welcome." Everyone was silent as the girl slowly and shyly walked. I gasped quietly as I recognized the girl. It's Kat from the library! She fidgeted awkwardly,
"U-um, h-hello. M-my name is Kat and I'm very pleased to meet you." She bowed as she finished her sentence. She was so cute! Everyone greeted her and she slowly looked up to meet everyone but Black*Star's face. The blue haired boy stomped his foot,
"How dare you not look at your god!" Kat looked at him in fear; the assassin charged at her, the black haired girl gasped then closed her eyes in preparation for the blow. Suddenly, a flashed came in front of Black*Star. He looked to see two white haired boys with light lime green eyes glaring at him as they stood protectively in front of Kat, one of the boys' arms turned into a silver blade. "What the hell?" Black*Star said before he was thrown against the desks by the boys who stood still glaring,
"Don't touch our meister."
"You ok, Kat?" One of them asked the girl,
"Y-yes, thanks you guys." The weapons turned so Kat could see the class, "Th-these are my weapon partners, Toshio and Tomi." As she said the boys' names she gestured to them in turn.
"Thank you for introducing yourselves." Stein said, "As for you, Black*Star." He threw a scalpel that sliced through Black*Star's hair, "Sit down before I dissect you." Shakily, the assassin went back to his seat. His partner sighed and sweatdropped while the professor looked at Kat, "You can sit down . . ." he looked for empty seats, "next to Kid and the Thompsons. Kid, please raise your hand." I did so and the girl looked at me and froze, her partners urged her gently and finally she started walking to me. Why did she act this way when she saw me? I never did anything to her. Finally she made it and sat next to me, her bangs hiding her face.
Normal POV
The shadowed figured, Darkness, smiled it's abnormally wide smile, its fangs bore. "Fight him, Kat."
"What!" Kat gasped as she leapt to her feet in the cage she was still trapped in,
"Go on." She shook her head vigorously,
"No! You can't make me!"
"Oh, can't I?" Darkness gestured its black hand as if saying 'come here' causing Kat to collapse in her prison, poisoned air surrounding her. The Shinigami girl choked,
"Alright." She gaped, "Alright!" Darkness smiled,
"Attagirl." It smiled as the air disappeared and the helpless girl fought for fresh air to fill her lungs.
Kat's POV
I stood and stared at Kid. "Fight me, Kid." His eyes snapped open,
"What?" I narrowed my eyes,
"You heard me."
"Kat, what's wrong with you?" Tomi asked as he stood,
"Silence!" I snapped as I whipped my head around to face him.
"What's this?" Stein said, "You're a new student and you already want to fight one of Crescent Moon's strongest students?" He paused for a moment, "Alright, fine by me. I will spot it." I nodded once then looked at Kid,
"Let's go."
Normal POV
In the dark realm, the cage holding Kat is absorbed in a monstrous sized Darkness which smiles in victory. Inside the imprisoned cage shrieked a panicking Kat as she struggled to free herself but ended up sinking to her knees in tears as her efforts were to no avail. Then she looked up to see, in a clear spot in midair before the cage, herself facing Kid. "Onii-chan! Onii-chan!" Her desperate screams for help were unheard by the Shinigami outside the dark realm.
Kid's POV
I stared at Kat with narrow golden eyes. Why does she want to fight me? It's as if she's a totally different person now! What the hell is going on? "Toshio, Tomi." She said strictly and her weapon partners flew into her hands. So she finally found out that they were weapons, and now she's a meister.
"Liz, Patty." I ordered,
"Right."
"Kay~!" My weapons flew into my hands,
"Kid, are you seriously gonna fight her?" Liz asked,
"I've got no choice to, Liz."
"Kat-chan sure is acting differently, huh, sis~."
"Yeah, Patty, I wonder why." Kat and I took battles stances; she gripped her sais in preparation while I did the same with my pistols. We glared at each other through narrow eyes.
Normal POV
"No! No!" Kat cried from within her prison hold. Darkness laughed at its prey's torture.
"Scream all you want, Shinigami, but it's no use! You can't do anything!" Kat watched helplessly as her outside self began to fight her brother. "Hm," Darkness grinned, "Cancel off the weapons."
"What!" Kat gasped,
"Do it!"
"No! I won't!" The shadow summoned the suffocating air again, leaving Kat to suffer, finally she broke,
"Ok! Ok!"
Kat's POV
I stopped fighting, breathing heavily. Damn was he strong but I put up an equal match. Then I stood straight and threw Toshio and Tomi behind me, hearing them transform and land. "Kat, what the hell are you doing!" I smiled,
"Let's change the rules. No weapons are allowed to be used."
Kid's POV
I widened my eyes and heard the students gathered to see the fight begin to murmur to one another, I narrowed my eyes and threw my own weapons behind me. "Kid, you're really not gonna use us?"
"Apparently the rules say no weapons allowed." Liz stared at Kat with folded arms,
"I don't like how she's acting now, better stop this soon, Kid." I bowed me head,
"Oh don't worry, I will." I charged forward.
Normal POV
Darkness laughed as its prisoner watched hopelessly as the fight commenced, its large golden eyes then glowed causing a strange aura to appear around Kat who lifted her head, her bangs hanging in her face and her pale face wild. She had a wide smile stretching from ear to ear and her golden eyes were mad, finally she began to laugh insanely.
Kid zeroed in on Kat who had her head bowed and her bangs hanging over her face, then a wide smile appeared and she lifted her face to reveal her insane blue eyes to Kid who flinched in shock and surprise. What the hell! He thought. Is she infected with madness? Kat shot her arm at Kid as he was about to jump her, her hand clutched around his throat tightly and she slammed him into floor creating a crater. Kid yelled in agony causing the class to explode in worry as the fight turned into an actual brawl. The female opponent pinned the Shinigami down and wrapped her other hand around his throat as she tightened her grip significantly, her blue eyes wide and wild as was her pale face. The white haired twins gasped when they saw what started to happen to her: her black pigtails were beginning to turn into thick black quills and her fingertips were sharpening into lethal black claws as blackness began to shoot up her arms, her teeth revealed in her grin began to sharpen as well. The class was really starting to panic now and the two boys knew of only one solution.
"Liz, Patty! Shoot Kat!" The other twins whirled at them,
"What!?"
"Just do it or your meister is going to die!" The sisters narrowed their blue eyes then Liz wielded Patty who shot at the transforming raven haired girl sending her tumbling before smacking against the wall and falling unconscious as she turned to normal. Some people gathered around Kid who sat up catching his breath, claw marks in his neck,
"Don't worry," he reassured calmly, "they'll go away. It takes more than this to kill me." As this happened Toshio and Tomi collected their meister,
"We are terribly sorry, we'll take her to the nurse; she'll be fine." Without another word they headed out.
Kat's POV
I opened my eyes and sat up to look at my surroundings, "Wh-where am I?"
"The infirmary." I turned to see a dark skinned woman in bandages and a nurse's uniform approach me, "You're, Kat, right? I'm Nygus the school's nurse. Your partners informed me about what happened, you'll be able to go home after school as your condition isn't critical." I nodded,
"Uh, ok thanks. Are my weapons here by any chance?" She nodded and left as Toshio and Tomi entered.
"Hey, glad to see you up." Toshio smiled and I nodded,
"Thanks so what happened?" Tomi widened his eyes at me,
"You mean you don't remember?" I shook my head,
"Last thing I remember was Kid charging at me then everything went black." The boys looked at each other then at me in shock,
"Kat, before you met us face-to-face we saw something that might have something to do with your actions." I stared intently at them as they continued,
"A while back when we were roaming Death City we saw a shadowed figure carrying you on its shoulder, then it disappeared and we searched everywhere as you, being unconscious, needed help; when we finally spotted it we found you down a hill so we took you home." Toshio explained and my eyes widened. A shadowed . . . figure?
"Do you happen to know of the figure?" Tomi asked and I pondered for a moment then looked at him,
"I only remember it taking me into an alley then kind of . . . entering my body that's all." The two looked at each other then back at me,
"Alright, well we'll keep an eye on it, ok?" I nodded,
"Ok."
. . .
Normal POV
Back at the twins and Kat's house, night graced over the home as the three slept soundly. Kat finally found a room of her own while the twins slept in their own rooms. In the dark realm, Darkness stared at its prisoner as she sits against the back of the cage unconscious, the figure smiled.
As Kat slept in her room, the figure emerged from her body and snickered at her unmoving form before escaping through the open window and disappearing in dark streaks into the night.
In the lair, Kono and Neko accompany Medusa as she sat on her platform then a shadow enters. It walks up to the witch who smiles after a moment, "Hello, Darkness." The figure places a hand on its hip,
"Hello, Medusa."
"How is the progress going?" Darkness smiled,
"With me trapping her she will soon completely fall into insanity and eventually I will completely take over her body and make it my own." Medusa laughed,
"Excellent work, Darkness."
"You know you should thank me for creating you, Darkness." Neko said flatly as she fiddled absently with her wand. The creature narrowed its golden eyes at her, "I intentionally created and caged you before putting you in the realm, as Kono and I planned Kat would eventually be controlled by you and later, join Madame Medusa against her will."
"With her at our side, Death's son will give anything to save her." Medusa smiled, "And he coming to save his precious sister will be his fate, Kono and Neko shall consume his soul and become the strongest kishins ever! And when Death comes to seek revenge for his son and daughter that will be the end of him." The witch laughed quietly and gradually more heartily. Darkness smiled,
"I look forward to that day." Then it narrowed its heartless golden eyes.
