A Mended Resonance
Normal POV
Kat opened her eyes groggily and looked at her clock then her eyelids snapped open, "Crap!" She flew out of bed, threw on a white sweater, black skinny jeans and black ankle-high boots; then she sprinted down the hall to the boys' room and pounded on the door. Moans were heard from inside and she growled before bursting into the room. "Alright, get up! We're gonna be late!" Tomi groaned before sitting up,
"Ugh, we'll be up in a bit." He muttered under his breath, Toshio remained under his white blanket, the meister took a step forward and opened her mouth to speak but then she stepped back and glared at him, then turned around,
"Come on, Tomi." She said as her black bangs shadowed her face, the eldest brother raised an eyebrow and looked at his brother,
"What's up, Toshio? Did something happen last night?" Toshio curled up, the blanket over his head,
"Nothing." He murmured and Tomi blinked in confusion,
"Well," he said getting up, "let's get going or Kat'll flip out on us."
"Okay."
Kat ran down the stairs and popped a piece of toast in her mouth, Kid and the girls walked down to greet her, "Good morning, Kat." Kid smiled,
"Morning, onii-chan~!"
"Why are you rushing, Kat-chan~?"
"Because we're going to be late for school~!" Kid looked at the clock and froze,
"Ah! You're right!"
"Hey, guys." Tomi greeted as he finished buttoning his white shirt, he stared at the ranting Shinigami, "Um what's going on?" Patty ran up to him,
"We have to go~! We'll be late for school~!"
"Wha-" Before he could finish Patty grabbed his hand and they ran out the door. Toshio walked down the stairs, hair covering his face, he opened his mouth slightly seeing how he was alone, and that was how he walked to the academy.
. . .
The Shinigami siblings leaned their hands on their knees as they caught their breath, Liz sweatdropped with a slight smile, "Like bro like sis." Patty laughed,
"Yeah~!" Tomi stood next to the sisters, panting with a hand over his chest,
"Geez, you girls run fast."
"Hey." Said a quiet voice and he turned to see Toshio, his white bangs hanging over his left eye,
"Oh, hey bro took ya long enough." He looked at the ground,
"Y-yeah." He looked at Kat and she at him, then she glared at him and walked away,
"Come on, Tomi, we'll be late for class." Toshio watched with a heavy heart as she and his brother walked away, Tom looked at him and mouthed with a shrug,
"What happened?" But Toshio shook his head causing Tomi to wave his arm as if saying 'forget it'. Liz looked at the youngest sai,
"Whoa, what happened between you and Kat?" Toshio looked away,
"Nothing." He followed his meister leaving Kid and the twins to look at each other in confusion.
Kat's POV
"Hey, Kat." A certain other bookworm smiled, I looked at her, my hand cupping my cheek,
"Oh, hey, Maka."
"How ya doing bookworm?" Soul smirked and I growled,
"What's up, Soul?" Tomi, who sat next to me, greeted,
"Nothin' much." Then I saw Toshio in the doorway and looked at the desk, my hair hiding my face as he sat next to me as well. The scythe meister and weapon saw our reactions then turned to each other in question,
"What's wrong?" Maka asked, "Did you two have a fight?" None of us spoke a word for a good while.
. . .
"Okay, Kat, I would like you and Tomi and Toshio to resonate for me."
"Alright." I said standing up and I walked down the stairs followed by my weapons. We faced the class and I held out my hands gesturing my partners to transform and fly into my grasp, they did so. Then I closed my eyes and began to use Soul Resonance but . . . something strange happened. My hand that held Toshio began to burn and I cried as I dropped him, the blade clanking to the floor.
"Kat, are you alright!" Tomi cried in worry as he transformed and stood next to me while I winced holding my injured hand.
"Hm." Stein said, "A perfect example of a damaged resonance."
"Huh?" Tomi said looking at him, the professor pushed up his glasses,
"It would appear the resonation between Toshio and Kat has become unbalanced." I widened my eyes then looked at Maka who called out,
"Something like that happened to Soul and I when we had a job in London."
"Ah, yes, I remember that." Stein looked at me and Tomi who was standing behind me. "Would you mind telling what might have caused this problem?" The two of us looked at the ground,
"We just had an argument." I replied quietly,
"I see, well the best way to fix your resonance is to fix your problem."
. . .
I walked down the stairs, books hugged to my chest, school was over thank Shinigami. I stopped in my tracks and stared at the ground. Fix your problem . Stein' voice echoed in my mind. I recalled what Toshio almost did last night and shook my head vigorously to clear it. "No! I have to forget about that."
"Forget about what?" I gasped and whirled around to see Liz and Patty standing behind me,
"Uh, um, n-nothing!" Liz leaned forward with her hands on her hips,
"Come on, Kat, you're not gonna get away from us that easily." I stared at her then exploded,
"Toshio tried to pull a move on me last night!" I exclaimed and Liz freaked out,
"Whoa, what do you mean by that!"
"H-he tried to kiss me!" Liz sighed in relief,
"Oh, whew, okay I thought it was . . . the other thing." I blushed heavily. "And how did you react?"
"I freaked out and pushed away from him! He's just like all other guys: striking when he thinks a girl's weak and defenseless! I thought he was different!" By now I was pounding on her chest, crying,
"What happened to you that made you feel this way about guys, Kat?" She asked resting her hands on my shoulders and I looked at the ground,
"Before . . . I even met the twins . . . I was a dancer at a bar, I had a guy partner but danced with the girls there too. We did nothing dirty or anything like that at all! But . . . one night when I was getting ready to leave . . . one of the customers, obviously drunk as hell, cornered me and," I began to shudder massively, "h-he began to t-tear at my clothes . . . I-I managed to keep them covering me b-but th-then h-he started kissing me all o-over . . . I-I can still feel his slimy tongue caressing my body. I-I was s-so scared but th-then my guy partner came by as he was l-leaving too and he s-stopped the man and had him arrested, I was still traumatized and wh-when my partner offered to take me home I just r-ran away from h-him." I was a holy wreck by now, and Patty and Liz were hugging me close. "Th-that's wh-why I feel that way about g-guys now! I thought Toshio was different! I thought he would be nothing like those fucking assholes!" I screamed the final sentence at the top of my lungs and began to sob in Liz's chest.
"It's ok, Kat, none of those kinds of guys are here; you're safe. It's ok."
Normal POV
Liz glanced at her sister who nodded with a determined look. No guy was ever going to treat Kat like that ever again. Liz thought with narrow eyes. Not as long as I draw breath. Tsubaki and Maka were walking by while their partners were elsewhere; Liz quietly explained to the two what had happened and they agreed to take the shaken Shinigami to Maka's house to calm down. Tsubaki laid an arm around the young black haired girl while Maka gently rubbed her arm to calm her down as she was still crying and shaking. Liz glared at Patty, "Let's go."
"Right~!" Patty said with a salute and the two sprinted off to find the young sai. Finally they did find him, walking out of the academy.
"Toshio!" Liz shouted then she shoved him against the wall, her elbow over his neck as she clutched at his collar, "Why the hell did you pull a move like that on Kat, huh? Tell me!" Toshio stared into her blue eyes with his wide lime green ones; he was completely taken off guard.
"I . . . I."
"You better tell me or I'm going to kick your sorry ass." Toshio's face went as white as a ghost's and he swallowed,
"O-okay, okay! I'll tell you just let me go!" Liz did so and the boy fell onto his backside, his hands resting on his knees as he stared at the ground, his lime green eyes brimming with emotion, "It's because . . . she was so cute then . . . and . . . well I was feeling a little emotion after telling her about my parents' accident and then her little speech really touched me . . . I guess I took advantage of the moment."
"You're damn freaking right you did! And that's exactly what she fears about guys!" He gasped and looked up,
"What?"
"A while back she was sexually harassed by a guy and she's been shaken about that ever since!" He was at a loss for words,
"What?" He murmured,
"Ya heard me!" Toshio looked at the ground,
"I . . . didn't know that . . ." Liz softened her gaze and tone,
"And that's why she thought she could trust you, she thought you were different."
"But I am different!"
"She doesn't know that."
"It's just . . ." he blushed madly and rubbed the back of his neck, "I . . . I like her . . . and . . ." he sighed and looked down, "she's . . . my first crush . . . I didn't know what to do! I'm still clueless as hell of what to do!"
"What~!" Patty cried, "But Toshio-kun that's adorable that she's your first crush!"
"B-but I don't know what to do! I'm not experienced with this!" Liz crossed her arms,
"Well first off, you can apologize for what you did and tell her that you were emotional from your conversation. Secondly, gain her trust again! She trusts you and your brother with her life, you do know that don't you?"
"Yes and I'll give up my own if it's to save hers and I know Tomi would do the same." Liz smiled,
"I think you know what to do, go to her! She's at Maka's place."
"But what if she won't talk to me."
"At least she'll hear." Patty replied,
"Ya think so?" Toshio asked her and she nodded,
"Without a doubt~!" The sai nodded,
"Okay, thanks a lot you two." The sisters smiled,
"Anytime." Liz winked,
"And good luck." Toshio blushed heavily before storming off.
. . .
Toshio knocked on the door and waited for a reply, "Yes? Who is it?"
"Tsubaki? It's Toshio, is Kat in there? I really need to talk to her." The door opened a crack to reveal the tall raven-haired girl's face,
"Oh, Toshio-kun, yes Kat's here but I'm not sure if she'll speak; Maka-chan and I have been having trouble getting one word out of her."
"I know and that's alright, I just want her to listen." She nodded and let him in, Maka saw him from her spot on the couch,
"Oh, hey Toshio, what's up?"
"I'm here to talk to Kat." He saw his meister as she lay on the couch, her back facing him and the other two girls,
"Good luck with that." Maka replied and she and Tsubaki went into the other room to leave the meister and weapon alone. The white haired boy sat on the couch and looked at Kat,
"Kat . . . I know you probably don't want to talk to me after what I did but I want you to know that I am not like other guys. I'm so incredibly sorry for what I did it's just . . . I was so emotional after talking about my parents' demise and then your little speech really did a number on me, also . . . you just seemed so cute in the moment." Kat, who was listening silently, blushed heavily and her golden eyes widened, "I'll do anything to make sure you're safe, I'll even give my life for you. That's what a weapon's job is, isn't it? To protect the meister with their life, and that's what I promised you." He stopped and the room was silent. "Kat . . . I want you to trust me again, I'm truly sorry for what I did . . . I hope you know that . . ." He stood up and turned to leave,
"Toshio?" A voice stopped him and he turned to see Kat sitting up and looking at him, "Do you honestly mean what you say?" Her eyes were round with remaining fear; Toshio narrowed his own and looked at her with fierce determination,
"Absolutely!" She smiled,
"Good . . . I'm glad." He flinched as he stared at his meister's happy face then he smiled sweetly back,
"So . . . are we cool?" Kat rolled her eyes,
"Oh please, one Soul's enough." Toshio laughed as did she then the black haired girl reached out a hand; the sai hesitated for a moment then shook it with a wide smile. Maka and Tsubaki, who had been watching from the next room, smiled at each other.
"Finally they made up." Maka said,
"Good thing too."
