New Friends
Kid's POV
I straightened my black and white dress shirt as I readied myself for another day. "Hey, Kid!" I heard the eldest sister call, "Would ya hurry up already? We're gonna be late!" Taking once last glance in my mirror I headed down the stairs,
"Sorry for the hold up, girls." Patty punched he air,
"Let's go~!" The three of us then headed out of Gallows Mansion and to the DWMA.
"Are you ok from yesterday, Kid?" Liz asked as her sister pranced, singing about giraffes, I looked at her,
"You mean from Kat and my fight? Yes I am perfectly fine; it takes more than that to kill me you should know that. After all I am still alive from Ashura's attack aren't I?" (A/N this takes place about a year after Ashura was defeated) She sighed,
"Yeah, but please be careful ok?" I smiled,
"Of course." We stopped as we neared the academy, a girl with black hair pulled into pigtails crossed our path, holding books in her arms, two white haired boys followed her then they stopped when they saw us. Kat bowed, her eyes closed tight,
"I'm sorry for what I did to you yesterday! Please forgive me!" I stared at her apologizing form for a while then rested my finger under chin and lifted her head, staring into her blue eyes and smiled,
"You're forgiven; a really cute girl like you shouldn't be this frantic about a little accident." She immediately blushed greatly and straightened up,
"Uh . . . uh . . ." then she ran off leaving me staring after her,
"What did you do, Kid!" Liz exclaimed and I sighed as I closed my eyes and stuffed my hands in my pockets,
"It's not my fault girls sometimes swoon over me." The pistol sighed and we continued on our way.
Kat's POV
I hid behind a tree and sank to the grass, panting heavily. "What was that about?" Toshio asked as he and Tomi appeared on either side of me,
"H-he called me cute! Th-that's like freaking incest!" I cried looking at him with wide blue eyes,
"Well what do you expect? I mean he doesn't recognize you and all." Toshio said,
"I know but it's just . . . urg!"
"Well in the meantime let's get to class." I stood,
"Yeah."
Kid's POV
I looked to my right to see Kat frantically writing what Professor Stein was saying and was surprise as it was word for word! It was perfect! Even her handing was perfect! She wrote as fast as the gray-haired scientist spoke while her weapons listened intently. "Why are you staring at me?" Kat asked without looking at me, I flinched,
"Oh sorry, I spaced out."
"I've heard you've been doing that a lot lately." She replied still not eyeing me, I stared at the desk in front of me. She's right . . . I have been spacing out more than usual lately . . . I guess because I still haven't found my sister Kat to apologize yet.
. . .
Free period finally came, Kat stood and headed out. I stared after her before meeting up with the rest of the gang.
Kat's POV
I leaned against the railing as I read in the academy's library, then a noise from the level above me made me look up just in time to catch a book that had fallen from the level, I threw it back up and heard it land on the floor then headed for the shelves for a new book. "Thanks!" I heard a girl say but I didn't answer her. Once I had gotten a new book I began to walk as I read then I stopped short when I noticed I was about to run into an ash blonde girl, since I had stopped so suddenly I tried to regain my balance but slipped and slammed my back hard against the shelf. The girl and I looked at the shelf and gasped before a huge amount of books fell upon us. Our heads popped up from the massive pile,
"I'm sorry." I said as I looked at the girl and gasped when I recognized her, her emerald eyes met me,
"It's o- hey wait, you're the girl Kid battled yesterday, Kat right?" I simply stared in worry at her. Sh-she's one of Kid's friends! How is she going to react to me hurting him!
"Y-yeah." I said and she smiled warmly,
"My name's Maka, it a pleasure to meet you." I nodded,
"Th-thanks, l-likewise." She looked at me,
"You know, you remind me a lot of my friend Crona."
"R-really? H-how?" She smiled,
"'Cause he stammers a lot just like you do sometimes." I blinked,
"O-oh." We stood up and she sighed when she saw the mess, her hands on her hips,
"Aw man this is a total wreck."
"I-I'm sorry! It was my fault."
"Don't be sorry, it was no one's fault; let's just clean it up before the librarian finds out." I nodded,
"Y-yeah." After a while the books were back in place and I took up the books I had left on the floor at the foot of another shelf,
"Oh did we forget those?" I shook my head,
"No these are the books I finished today." Her green eyes widened,
"What! You're that big of a read, too?" I nodded,
"Y-yeah, why? Oof!" I said as she hugged me tightly,
"Finally another person I can relate to!" She released me and beamed at me, "I'm always reading that's why I'm called a bookworm." She concluded with a look and I giggled a little,
"I've been called one as well since I work at the Death City Public Library."
"What you work there! Oh wait, I remember seeing you once." I nodded,
"Yeah, that's where I first saw you and the rest of your friends." She nodded,
"Right, right, right I remember now." I nodded then the bell rang, "Well lunch's over, let's head back to class." I nodded,
"Ok."
When Maka and I returned to our classroom, I saw a few girls clustered together, "Do you know how to solve this?"
"No, sorry, I don't get it either." I stopped, Maka returned to her seat, and walked up to them, examining the problem,
"Oh that one's easy, here you do this first then this and that's how you get the answer." They stared at the paper before at me with shocked eyes,
"Ok is it me or does she look like she could be Tsubaki's little sister, the blue eyes, the black hair, pale skin and same kindness,
"You're right I see it!" I smiled,
"N-no, I'm Kat, the new student."
"We know who you are; you were the girl who battled Kid-kun yesterday." My smile faded,
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt him!" I bowed, "Please forgive me!" They were silent for a moment then smiled,
"Okay, it was an accident wasn't it? You were probably affected by the remnants of Ashura's madness, but they should soon go away." I beamed,
"Thank you!" I headed back for my seat, smiling. Toshio and Tomi stared at me as if I had grown a head,
"What's with you?"
"People are forgiving me from yesterday." I beamed,
"Well could ya dial down the smile? Sheesh it's creeping me out a little." I glared at Toshio and stomped on his foot.
. . .
Finally school had ended and I was the first to leave as I had a book to return back to the library. As I stood I caught sight of Kid, Maka, and the rest of the gang, by the way those girls described this Tsubaki girl I looked at the tall raven haired girl and assumed she was who they were talking about. Then I walked out of the room; once I had returned the book I headed for the exit, however as I did so I passed a room that made me back track. "An auditorium? Sure is small for one." I walked into the dark room then flipped a switch that turned on the spotlight which shined on the stage; I then saw the guitar and piano on the small stage, I walked up to the guitar and picked it up. "Haven't held one of these in a while." I ran my fingernails over the strings and twitched, "Meh, out of tune. I hate when that happens!" After a few minutes I strummed it again and smiled with content, "Much better." I began to play a song that I had listened to that morning, Hajimete no Koi Ga Owaru Toki (1) then I began to sing. Man did it feel amazing to sing and play my heart out where no one was watching me.
Lord Death's POV
I watched as my darling daughter played her guitar. My how she's grown, her voice is just beautiful and her playing has gotten so much better. I'm glad she found her weapons partners and decided to attend the DWMA, but I wish she would face me.
Kid's POV
I was about to leave out the doors of the academy when something stopped me, "Huh? What's wrong, Kid?" Liz asked but I listened past her voice and to the melodious sound my ears had discovered: a guitar being played and an angel singing her heart out. I ran to the small auditorium and stopped before going into view in the doorway as not to frighten the performer. "Wow," Patty said in awe with wide blue eyes, "she's real good isn't she, sis~."
"Yeah." I remained in silence as I listened with my eyes closed. Her voice, so angelic, her guitar playing, like that of a true master, even when she had stopped playing, her song ran continuously in my mind.
Kat's POV
I finished the song and closed my eyes to take it all in, silence filled the room, "Wow, you play real good." I cried and whipped around to see an albino standing on the side of the stage, his face lightly shadowed by the black curtains, he laughed, "Woops, sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that. I should've told you I was here, sorry that wasn't very cool." I panted to catch my breath and calm my heart,
"Wh-who are you?" The newcomer smiled a lopsided grin which revealed sharp teeth,
"The name's Soul Evans, I'm Maka' weapons partner, a scythe." I nodded,
"H-hello, it's nice to meet you, Soul, I'm Kat."
"I know; nice fight against Kid by the way." I opened my mouth to apologize then shut it as I knew I was forgiven, instead I smiled,
"Thank you. So what are you doing here? I thought all of the students left already."
"Clearly not all as you're still here."
"That's true." He walked up to the piano and ran a finger along the black cover,
"I come here just to come here most times, no reason really."
"Do you play?" He smiled at me,
"Do I play? Well allow me to answer that for you." Soul sat down at revealed the instrument's black and white teeth that smiled at him, inviting him to play a masterpiece. And that's just what he did; notes clashed together in a fury of louds and softs and I just stared in shock at the albino boy, finally he stopped and turned to face me with a smile, "You could say I play."
"I'll say!" He laughed,
"There you are, Soul!" The two of us turned to see Maka, Tsubaki and a blue-haired boy enter the room,
"Oh hey, Maka, I was just giving Kat a little sample of my playing." I nodded then gasped when I realized the blue-haired boy, Black*Star was what Professor Stein called him? Marched up to me,
"Hey, you never looked at your god." I blinked a few times then bowed,
"Hello, it's an honor to now face my god." Black*Star grinned,
"You're forgiven now peasant." I smiled a little,
"Was that you playing the guitar, Kat?" Tsubaki asked and I nodded shyly,
"Y-yeah . . . wait I thought no one heard that! How embarrassing." I moaned, two new giggles entered,
"Why? You're amazing!"
"Yeah, Kat-chan~!" It was the twins who had helped me earlier and . . . Kid,
"You really do have a talent, Kat, now we have two musicians in the group." I blinked,
"Huh?" Then out of nowhere two boys leaned on my shoulders with a grin,
"Who knew that our-" Tomi started
"-meister was such a wonderful musician." Toshio concluded and I blushed a little,
"T-Toshio! Tomi!"
"What?" Tomi asked,
"Did you honestly think we'd leave you behind in the school?" His brother added,
"We followed you secretly when you left the classroom."
"S-stalkers!" Toshio shrugged innocently,
"What? We wanted to ensure our meister was safe." I sighed,
"Whatever." Maka and Tsubaki giggled,
"Glad to have you a part of the gang, Kat."
"Huh?" Soul smiled,
"Yeah just what we need, another bookworm."
"Finally someone who agrees!" Toshio said before high-five-ing the albino with a grin, Tomi rolled his eyes,
"Oh boy." Patty giggled in her own way and I looked at everyone with surprised blue eyes. I . . . made new friends . . . completely unintentionally . . . Then my eyes fell on Kid who smiled at me,
"Welcome to the DWMA, Kat." Guilt and a whole bunch of other emotions took a stab at me.

Yaaay chapter 7 done! Poor Kat she still doesn't know how to approach Kid and Lord Death, but on the bright side she's forgiven from hurting Kid and has made friends with the rest of the Soul Eater gang! :D Until then keep calm and carry on!
