Chapter 4: Drew Is A Lean Mean Fighting Machine!
As both of them walked down the street they soon heard a familiar annoying voice up ahead. "Ahahha! Don't worry Tsubaki! I let her win, next time I won't go so easy on her!" Said Black Star. "Oh great not this guy again!" Drew moaned. "Hey, Black Star!" Soul called. As the pair caught up with the others, Tsubaki introduced herself. "Hi, I'm
Tsubaki, I'm Black Star's partner." Drew nodded, "Nice to meet you."
When they got to class, Stein introduced Drew to the whole class. With a response of about a dozen whispers, 'Isn't that the girl that beat Black Star?, 'Yeah, I wouldn't want to mess with her', and other things similar. That is until Stein silenced them.
As the lunch bell sounded, the students got up out of their seats and filed out the door. "Drew? Do you mind staying back a few minutes!" Stein asked. "Sure thing, Professor." Huh, I wonder what that's about, Soul thought. As he made his way to the lunchroom, both Black Star and Kid joined him. As Soul got his food, he wondered what was taking Drew so long. "Have you guys seen Drew since class?" He asked. "Yeah, I saw her leave the building, heading for the garden," Kid responded.
Soul wandered the garden, searching for Drew. It wasn't long before he heard the sounds of someone practicing martial arts. Behind a tree, Drew was doing what looked like practice. "What are you doing?" Soul asked. "Practicing," Drew said. She fell back into the grass, looking up at the sky. "Are you going to have anything to eat?" He asked. "Yeah I suppose," Drew sighed. As she got up to go get something, Soul stopped her. "You can share some of mine if you'd like," He said. Drew stared at him for a moment before nodding. They sat down in the long grass together. As Soul ate his food, she studied him. Wondering what secrets were behind his red eyes. He looked down at his food, avoiding eye contact with her. He definitely seemed happier in that photo… Drew thought. Soul looked up, awkwardly making eye contact with her. "C'mon, it's almost time for class, let's go." Soul mentioned.
As they arrived at class, they realized that everyone else had already started. Stein motioned for them to go over to him. "I'm going to give you guys a private lesson, since you've never fought together before." Stein said.
They walked outside, moving a far enough distance from the building. "Alright, try and attack me," Stein stated. Drew nodded, "Alright let's do this Soul!"
"Right!" Soul transformed into his weapon form, flying into the air. Drew reached her hand out and grabbed him, swinging him from side to side. He is so light, she thought. Drew ran at Stein, agile and quick, she looked as if she knew exactly what she was doing. Stein countered with a shock from his soul wave-length, sending her flying backwards. After that Drew started getting reckless, making her attacks easy to dodge.
Drew was already panting, she hadn't fought in a while. "Drew, slow down!" Soul said, "we will get no where at this rate!" Drew nodded she stopped, closing her eyes. What is she doing? Soul thought. After a few moments of the standoff Stein decided to attack, rushing at them with great speed. "Drew! Wake up already!" Soul yelled. She opened one eye, and looked at him. She waited until Stein was a breath-length away before she jumped up and over him, landing down on top of him, scythe to his throat.
Stein laughed, "You're pretty experienced for a beginner" he said. Drew stuck her hand out to him, and helped him up. "Well it isn't my first time wielding a weapon." She responded. "Hm, I assume you can see other people's souls like me, am I right?" Professor Stein asked. "Yes, I can," Drew responded. Wow that's impressive, Soul thought, she is much more skilled than she appears on the outside… I wonder what she meant when she said it wasn't her first time wielding a weapon. Did she have a partner before me?
Okay so fourth chapter is finally out! I'm so sorry it took this long. (Really me just being lazy, cause I had it already typed up, lol) I'll probably upload 5 tomorrow. Almost done with chapter 7 atm, but school work is starting to get tough for me as it is my third week of school. I'm hoping that by at least monday I'll have the first 10 chapters up. (Feel free to yell at me if this doesn't happen...)
