Well it is with a heavy heart to announce that this is the final chapter of False Identity. I hope you all enjoy it! :D Strange how I was listening to Falling in Reverse's Drug in Me is You album while reading this ^^; Probably since Tragic Magic just reminded me of Neko and Kono ^^; Anyways on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater

True Identity

Neko's POV

I opened my red eyes and looked around to find myself in a world of endless white. Where am I? I looked ahead and blinked with a quite gasp when I saw a boy with waist-long jet black hair standing in front of me with his back turned. Then he turned and smiled at me, a sole tear escaped from my eye and I beamed as I threw myself into his open arms, "Brother!" I cried happily as tears trickled down my pale face and he hugged me back,

"Hey, sis." I pulled back and beamed with happy tears,

"We're finally free! Free from that god awful curse!" He nodded,

"It's just a shame that that's how we lived the rest of our lives." I sighed and looked at my black boots which had my black leggings tucked in them,

"Don't remind me . . . if that's how we lived then why are we in Paradise?" I asked looking up at him, a lightly clenched fists resting over my chest which was hidden under the ruffles of my white dress, which was shorter in the front and longer in the back.

"Because that was not your true intentions." Said a voice and we jumped then turned to see a girl with white hair and golden streaks that blended nicely. Her skin was pale and her eyes a deep sea green. She wore a cream and pink loilita dress that fell to her knees which were covered in white stockings and her tiny feet were safely contained by her white shoes. From her back were white, feathery angel wings. She approached us, "Your true identities were being confined within your false selves."

"When Kono and I were little kids, our parents died in a house fire and on that night two mice with four red eyes attacked us . . . that caused a curse to enter our bloodstream, causing black blood to form and flow amongst our red blood."

"That blood made us fall deep into insanity and created false identities for ourselves. The insanity created that relationship between us as well." Kono said, "Under that curse, we killed innocent souls in order to become kishins for a witch . . . which is why we don't deserve to be here, in Paradise." The angel was silent for a moment,

"I see . . . then in that case." She snapped her fingers and a wind stirred around my brother and I and rose petals as well as a glow came from our feet, as the petals rose up our legs, we began to disappear. Kono and I looked from our lower body, which was disintegrating quickly, to the angel who stared at us with her emotionless eyes. "I will give you another chance as you were incapable of living your own lives before. But we warned," she straightened her arm in front of her and positioned her fingers to snap again, "this is your last chance." She snapped her fingers and our heads disintegrated with the glow and red petals.

I gasped and opened my red eyes and looked around to find myself, along with Kono, standing in the middle of a street in Death City. Along the sides were stores and apartments and the sun shone brightly in the sky with streaky white clouds whipping on its blue canvas. I shielded my eyes as I stare at the sky. I was alive again . . . Brother and I could relive our lives again as our own without being controlled by that god awful curse. I smiled then screamed at the sky, Kono blinked in surprise then joined with me happily. We screamed to prove our return and to prove our rebirth. "Hey, kids, what do you think you're doing!" We looked at each other,

"Uh oh." I said when we saw the cop then we laughed as we ran down a narrow street, when we were on the other side we looked behind to see if we had outrun the cop and we did successfully.

"I haven't run like that in forever." Kono smiled as he caught his breath,

"Me too." I smiled back. It was good to be alive again; to be true to ourselves forever. I straightened up then gasped when I saw a magician's hat in a window of a shop. I walked up to it and looked at the hat for a moment then looked at my brother who approached me, "Do you want to still go after our dream? . . . Even after everything that's happened? . . . After everyone we've killed and everything we did with our magic?" Kono was silent then nodded,

"Of course, we're different now. We can do what we want. We can use our magic to brighten people's lives instead of destroy them." I smile,

"You're right." We high-fived each other then heard laughing in the near distance. I turned and saw a certain gang walking over a hill laughing with each other. I gasped when I saw Kat's smiling face and ran forward. She gasped and I threw my arms around her neck in a tight hug. My force made her spin around and caused my legs to spin around, nearly hitting her friends in their shins.

"What the hell!" I heard Soul cry,

"It's Neko and Kono!" Black*Star added, everyone tensed to fight and I backed up to Kono's side,

"If you think we're here to fight you're wrong!"

"Yeah right, like I'm gonna fall for that again." Maka snarled and after a moment of staring each other down in tension, Kono raised his hand,

"If you think so likely that we're going to fight then kill us now." I gasped and looked at him,

"Kono! No! I don't want to die again! The angel told us we only had one more chance to live our lives again! I don't want to go back just as soon as we got here!" He looked at me,

"We need for them to trust us, Neko." I stared at him for a moment then gave in and raised my arms as well. The group in front of us continued to stare and brace to attack, it remained like that for a while and I was soon no longer able to take it.

Kat's POV

I glared at the brother and sister. I highly doubt they meant what they said. Then I stared deep into Neko's eyes and loosened up a bit. They were the very eyes the red-eyed girl stared at me with in the realm where we dwelled. I lowered my arms and the twins transformed. "What's up, Kat?" Toshio asked raising an eyebrow; I looked at the others,

"They mean what they say."

"What? How do you know for sure, Kat?" Liz asked in her pistol form, "I mean have you seen what they've done?"

"Again if you think so highly that we're still the same possessed creatures we were before then end us off right here and now." Kono replied with serious narrow eyes,

"Think about it you guys, if Kono and Neko were really the same would they actually put their lives out their just to prove a point?" That got them and they all looked at each other then relaxed and the weapons changed back.

"Alright, Kat, you win." Tomi replied folding his arms.

Neko's POV

I gasped when I saw them stand down, my red eyes shined as did my face with a smile. I launched myself into Kat again in a spinning hug, again nearly kicking the others in the shin. I stopped spinning and looked at her, "Thank you so much, Kat-chan~! Brother and I really owe you one~."

"Ok, now this is starting to creep me out." Black*Star confessed, "You two were so . . . in for each other and freaky and now you're . . ."

"Ah yes well you see." Kono replied rubbing the back of his head and looking away, "When we were little two mic bit us and we were taken over by black blood along with a curse that made us that way along with our . . . unique relationship." I shuddered and gaged,

"Oh please just have that erased from my memory bank, please?"

"So you're serious?" Soul asked, "You were really possessed for that long period of time?" Kono and I nodded,

"Yes. Our true selves were slowly being eaten away by our false creations."

"Are you meisters?" Maka asked and we shook our heads,

"Are you weapons?" Tsubaki asked,

"No we're only mere magicians still." I bowed my head, "We feel so awful for using our magic to kill people." A sudden noise from above made me look up to see a baby robin falling, I cupped my hands and caught it, I smiled and placed one hand over the injured body, "But we still want to go after our dreams of becoming better magicians." A glow came from my hands and I raised them up allowing the little bird to fly away, "That is why we'll keep working hard even though our past memories haut us now and forever will."

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Kono smiled,

"But we were killed, smarty." I retorted flatly,

"But we're alive again and that's made us stronger!" I face palmed with a sigh.

"So what are you two gonna go now~?" Patty asked and I shrugged,

"Don't know, I guess all we can do for now is get stronger with our magic and mend the bonds that we've broken from our past actions." I replied.

"Well in any rate I wish you luck wherever you may go." The elder Thompson smiled, I nodded,

"Thanks a lot, Liz."

"Another thing I'll do in my spare time is practice my playing."

"Playing?" Kat asked utterly confused, "What do you mean?"

"Oh well I play the electric guitar. To me that's magic in and of itself." Everyone gaped and I raised an eyebrow then looked at Kono who only shrugged, I looked back suspiciously, "Why are you guys staring at me like that?" They immediately shoved Kat forward,

"Kat plays guitar too!" They replied excitedly,

"And she is a beast at it" Toshio smiled winking as he stuck out his tongue creepily,

"What!" I exclaimed at the Shinigami who sweatdropped with a feeble smile,

"Y-yeah they're right I do play . . . last time I did was on Christmas when I was forced into throwing on a concert!" She concluded pointedly at her friends. Toshio winked,

"Oh c'mon you loved it."

"Shut up." The rest of us laughed at the bickering love birds then I smiled at my brother,

"Come on, let's go."

"Hey you, kids! Get over here I'm still not through with you for disturbing the peace-" The cop's distant voice was tuned out of my ears,

"Uh oh, let's go." I smiled and once again we laughed as we ran away, waving to our new friends. It was good to be alive and to live as our true identities.

~Time skip: Graduation Party~

Kat's POV

We finally did it: graduated DWMA. Everyone achieved immensely. Soul finally became a Death Scythe and Black*Star finally had his taste to surpass God when we defeated another kishin that was on a godly level. Kid finally was able to write his name perfectly on his very final exam and as for myself? Well I didn't achieve much at all. I didn't need to. I smiled at everyone as they entered the ballroom; only Kid, my father, and I were left to enter. I wore a black knee-length dress with a ruffles bottom and a collar as well as black heels while Kid wore a simple black tux with a purple dress shirt. Chichue stood behind and Kid and I and guided us into the room, my arm was linked in my brother's. Fellow graduates made a path emptying into a circle on the dance floor under the disco ball illuminated by the many multi-colored lights. We turned and father raised his arms, "Congratulations students of this year's graduating class~! You've all worked so hard over the years and I could not be more proud to have had you students of my academy~! And what's the name of it again~?"

"Death Weapon and Meister Academy!" Everyone screamed,

"Hm, I'm sorry I must be going deaf in my old age, what was that~?"

"Death Weapon and Meister Academy!" We all screamed at the very top of our lungs,

"That's right~! And don't you ever forget it~! Well then without further ado, let's have ourselves a graduation party~!" We all screamed in response, the music began to play and everyone began to socializes and reminisce on the events of the years past. Then the DJ silenced us,

"Alright, alright my party people, the microphone and dance floor is open so who's up for some Karaoke!" We all screamed and he silenced us, "Alright, alright, alright let's have the Shinigami girl up here to kick us off." Butterflies swarm in my stomach, my friends pushed me to my feet and I walked to the DJ, my hands were a little clammy since it had been so long since I had last performed in front of such a massive crowd. The DJ smiled and handed me the mic, "There ya go, baby girl." I laughed then took my place on the dance floor. After staring at everyone for a moment I licked my lips and scurried to the DJ and whispered in his ear. After a moment he nodded and took up his mic, "Alright, alright, alright, Kat here has a special request so listen up!"

"Neko are you here?" I said into the mic scanning the crowd, "Neko? . . . Hellooo." I said shifting my eyes with a goofy face causing everyone, even myself, to laugh loudly then the crowd began to cheer and push the red-eyed girl up. Everyone in the academy and Death City as well accepted her and her brother after a while of clearing the air and the academy had looked upon them as its students. I saw her, bowed my head with a jokingly creepy smile and moved my finger gesturing her to come. She did so quickly with a similar creepy smile and when we approached me we laughed very quickly; I whispered in her ear and she nodded eagerly then hurried to the back of the room. I looked at everyone and picked up the mic, "Alright, everyone, Neko and I have recently finished a song and we wanna sing it for you guys." She returned with her electric guitar and the black on I had gotten from my friends for Christmas, Kono ran through the crowd and took up his bass before joining us. We looked at each other then I gave a nod signaling them in. The intro began and the DJ helped out with the extra sound effects. (A/N to actually hear the awesomeness of the song search "Nightcore-Higher by Kiba2183" I do not own the song but it is by an unknown artist)

I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher!

Right as soon as we finished the crowd roared with cheers, Neko and I stood catching our breath from singing out hearts out. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I had gotten a record deal with her with Death Records. We were on our way to stardom as well as getting stronger with our fighting. "Yeah that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" The DJ hollered, my friends and I shared a hug before putting our guitars away and joining our friends. Liz and Patty made their way to the DJ and took the mic,

"Alright I'd say it's time this party got a flavor of the Devil Sister of Brooklyn, whataya say, Patty"'

"Hell yeah~!" Everyone screamed in reply, they were loving every second of being on the dance floor with the mic.

"But I think we're gonna need some help blowing the roof off this place." Everyone looked at each other and the sisters looked at Maka and Tsubaki and waged a finger at them, "Tsubaki~. Maka~. Get over here~!" Liz sang the two protested but the guys shoved them up there. "Hit it!" Liz called to the DJ and Please Don't Stop the Music By Rihanna began the sisters. The sisters began to clap and soon Tsubaki and Maka joined in then they began singing and dancing their hearts out. The four truly loved every second on the dance floor, singing out loud. The crowd joined in by dancing and singing as well. Finally the song ended and everyone cheered.

"Aright, alright, now I do believe the boys in that group over there have yet to go." The DJ grinned circling a pointed finger at the boys. Neko and the other girls called out and shoved them on the floor then Low by Flo Rida began to play, the boys looked at each other as if saying "I do not want to do this, man." Then suddenly when the words started flowing they began to move like 'Swag' was their middle name. Pfft yeah right. "C'mon, boys, get yo girls out there." I moaned and Toshio took my hand, all of us, including Neko, were enclosed in a circle of our boyfriends and Kono, yes even Tomi finally he and Patty hooked up. We were all dancing and when the lyrics "low low low low, low low low low " came on we girls swiveled our hips with our arms raised up as we crouched down simultaneously while the boys bent back and crouched down. I was too surprised to see onii-chan dancing to this kind of song and couldn't help but laugh out loud. At last the song ended and we hugged our boyfriends while Kono and Neko hugged and high-fived laughing loudly. It was so great to see them living their own lives now.

A tap on my shoulder made me turn to see Marcus. I squealed and we hugged then the DJ spotted us, "Oh is this the Couple of Darkness I see? Alright everybody clear the dance floor I wanna see if these two still got some dance in em." I rolled my eyes. I just danced; does this guy like me shaking my booty in front of him? Sorry, boy but I got my own man. Marcus looked at me and I smiled. Once again we were dressed in black, we took our spot on the dance floor next to each other, hands behind our backs and our heads bowed. Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez started blasting and we went into a full-out professional cha cha. The crowd clapped along as we danced our hearts out. At the very end of the song we ended with Marcus dipping me, we stayed there a moment to catch our breath as the crowd cheered loudly. Marcus let me up and we bowed. I giggled. Life was great. I was free from Darkness and was a graduate of the DWMA. We finally settled down with some slow dances; one for Father and I and another for onii-chan and I, finally one for us couples: Maka with Soul, Black*Star with Tsubaki, Liz and Kid, Tomi and Patty, and finally me and Toshio. I danced with my head resting against his chest and his head resting on mine. It felt so nice to dance like this . . . having our souls in perfect sync. When the song ended the couples broke away and clapped, the party was almost over and there was one song left. I was surprised when I saw Toshio go onto the floor and pull up a stood and sat with his guitar. I never knew he played, I guess I have yet more to learn about my boyfriend. Then Soul pulled away from Maka and took his seat at the piano that was wheeled out from the far corner. Soul began to play and Toshio began to strum and sang into the mic,

"I've been waiting for my dreams

To turn into something I could believe in

And looking for that magic rainbow

On the horizon, I couldn't see it

Until I let go, gave in to love

Watched all the bitterness burn

Now I'm coming alive, body and soul

Feeling my world start to turn."

Soul began to sing 'ah' in the background while Toshio continued to sing, as the performance went on, everyone in the room stood side by side and rested their arms on each other's shoulders, swaying back and forth. Some cried a little as this was the time they would be together.

"And I'll taste every moment and live it out loud

I know this is the time, this is the time to be

More than a name or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time, this is the time of my life

The time of my life.

Holding on to things that vanished

Into the air, left me in pieces

But now I'm rising from the ashes

Finding my wings and all that I needed

Was there all along, within my reach

As close as the beat of my heart."

Soul continued to sing in the background while the graduates joined in as well with him I was fighting back tears as my partner sang on,

"And I'll taste every moment and live it out loud

I know this is the time, this is the time to be

More than a name or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time, this is the time of my life

The time of my life

And now I'm on the edge of forever

Ready to run!

Keeping my feet on the ground, arms open wide

Facing the sun!" He stopped strumming while Soul continued to play the piano,

"And I'll taste every moment and live it out loud

I know this is the time, this is the time to be," Toshio joined in again loudly, "More than a name or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time, this is the time of my life, my life

More than a name or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time, this is the time of my life!" Everyone joined in loudly as they sang their hearts out,

"This is the time of my life!

This is the time of my life, the time of my life. (1)" Toshio slowed to a stop while Soul played the final few notes.

Normal POV

As the last two lines of the song were sung, a photo was taken of the graduating class of Death Weapon and Meister Academy.

That very photo was gently placed in a cherished picture frame on a shelf for all to see. One girl in particular. The black-haired, golden-eyed adult placed the picture back on the self of her own home, remembering everything that had happened in her life. That one photo spoke those thousands of words. It reminded her of who she truly was. She was not the cause of her mother's death, she was not a curse or burden, and she was free from her false identity. She had, and forever will have, her true identity. She smiled brightly before leaving the room; the precious picture looked out from its rightful place. Always be true to yourself and never be otherwise.

(1) Time of My Life by David Cook

Alright ra ndom songs but that was what came up on my iPod XP I had so much fun describing what was happening at the party. It really just came to life I my head, anyway so I probably lied when I said I wouldn't make you guys cry anymore because the end song with the graduation most likely made my senior readers cry with them graduating soon as well. It moved me so much and as did the end, ya know what the whole thing gave me feels! So Neko and Kono were brought back to relive their lives as their true selves. Kat and the others gradated and went their separate ways, Soul and Maka with their duties, Kat, Toshio, Neko, and Kono with their newly formed band, Tomi, Kid, and the twins, at her side as her manager and body guards and clothe/makeup artists, and Black*Star and Tsubaki with his training. Happy ending for all! And with that I am putting 'complete' on this fanfic! Thank you all for Favoriting, Following, Reading, and Reviewing! Stay tuned for my Ouran Host Club fanfic that will be out very soon as well as my Alice in Wonderland story with is still ongoing! :D Anyways I'm done here, thank you all again! Love you all!
