Chapter 8

You know when you wake up, but your eyes dont open, but you can hear and feel everything else? Well, thats what i went through. I was laying on someones knee's, probebly Tsubaki. I heard Liz yelling, and Blackstar and Soul sounded like they were struggling. Probebly holding back Kid. Reggie was defending himself, and i bet he felt everyone was against him.

"You think you can weasle your way into our lives?" Liz question Reggie, her raise raising with every word.

"I swear, i had no idea who she was, or that she was connected to you guys in anyway!" Reggie explained.

"Ya, right! Probebly trying to get her on your side! Wheres Luna? I bet she's listening to us right now!" Liz screamed.

"What? No! I would never hurt Jenifer! And Luna? Please, she left me to rot! You know that! Remember? Lord Death took me in and ive been under his care, even before you guys met my sister!" Reggie cried.

I couldnt stand it anymore. Time to make an appearance.

"Guys! Would you be quiet! Jenifer's starting to wake up!" Tsubaki hissed at the arguing students. Soul and Blackstar immediatly stopped struggling.

"Wha? What happened?" I asked, my eyes fluttering open. Above me was Patty, Liz, Kid, Maka, Soul, Blackstar, and off to the side was Reggie, with a black eye. My eyes immediatly shot open.

"Reggie?" I questioned. He blushed, looking down. "Reggie, who hit you?" I asked, trying to sit up. Hm, so i was on Tsubaki...

"It doesnt matter... Are you ok?" Reggie tried to get closer, but Kid and Liz glared at him with murderous looks, so he back off.

"Im fine... What happened?" I asked, looking to the others. So, this was how it all happened...

I blacked out after i found out Reggies origins. Seeing this, Kid got more strength and broke free from the guys. He ran to Reggie and started hitting him. I fell off Reggie's back and hit my head (Explains my head ache).

It took Blackstar, Soul, Liz, AND Patty to get Kid off of Reggie. Tsubaki ran over and carried me over to a safe spot where she took care of my minor head wound. When Blackstar and Soul finally had Kid under control with Maka and Patty standing by for anymore outbursts, Liz began giving Reggie a verbal thrashing.

"Oh, so thats what happened." I started to nod. Then i looked at Kid.

"Has Reggie done anything to you?" I asked Kid, raising my eyebrow. "Well... No, but..." Kid began, but i cut him off.

"Well, than there should be no reason to get into fist fights every time you see each other!" I complained, looking from Kid to Reggie. "Reggie will remain my Partner until i see otherwise!" I looked at the others to see if anyone would complain.

Kid looked like he was gonna, but thought better of it and just glared at Reggie. Reggie glared back. I sighed. "Now, can someone please help me up?" I asked, and Liz and Tsubaki immdediatly helped me up.

I took a few steps and found i could walk on my own. "Plus, isnt it time for class?" I asked with a smile. When i smiled, it seemed everyone perked up.

"Ya, your right!" Maka said, and then she got attacked from behind. Soul ran at her from behind and picked her up bridal style. "Lets race guys!" Soul smiled to the others. Reggie came over and put me on his back, much to Kids anger. Blackstar got Patty, and Kid got Liz. "I dont really like being picked up." Tsubaki smiled. "Learned that the hard way." Blackstar grumbled.

"On your mark... Get set... GO!" Tsubaki yelled. We all galloped trying to get in front of each other.

"Ya hoo! We won!" I cried as we entered the classroom. Reggie smiled up at me, then gave me a thumbs up. Blackstar and Patty came next, then Kid and Liz, and last Soul and Maka. "I thought since we left first we were gonna win!" Maka complained.

"Your late!" A gruff voice came from the desk. "No way." Maka breathed, then we all turned around. There was a tall man, long red hair, and a suite that he didnt care about was what he looked like. His tie kinda looked like a cross, and he had this really weird smile.

Maka, Soul, Kid, Tsubaki, Blackstar, Patty, and Liz all had their mouths open. "Its your lame dad!" Soul finally cried out.

"Huh?" I asked, looking from Maka to the sub. They didnt look a thing alike. "Im Spirit, but you students will call me Mr. Spirit..." Spirit began, than his voice got all mushy. "But Maka can call me daddy!" He got all mushy and lovey dovey. "Ug, i think ill stick to Father." Maka looked away.

Spirits... well spirit broke. Then he saw me. "Maka, dont you want to introduce me to your new little friend! She's so cute!" Spirit twirled around me, looking at every detail.

"Maka... CHOP!"Maka yelled, before hitting Spirit on the head with a big book.

"Kid... CHOP!" Kid yelled, before hitting Spirit with his electric hand.

"Reggie.. CHOP!"Reggie yelled, before hitting him with... well me in hammer form.

Spirit lay on the ground, bleeding and whimpering about how he was just trying to get an intro.

"Baka." Maka muttered, before leading us to our seats. That was when i realized we had an audience. Well, sorta. Some of the students were watching us, and others were acting like we wernt there, as if they had seen this before.

Spirit sprang to life, and began with the lesson.

Halfway through the lesson, Crona walked in. "Crona, do you have a pass?" Spirit looked up from his textbook that we were reading from.

While Crona tried to talk with Spirit, i noticed Reggie was acting funny. "Reggie, you ok?" I asked, feeling his forehead. "Huh? Oh ya, im fine. Its just... Who is that?" He pointed down at Crona.

"Her? Oh, thats Crona." I said absently. At the moment, Ragnarok was not showing himself.

Reggie continued to gaze at her with interest. That was when it hit me. "You like her!" I guessed, turning my whole body to face him. "Who me? What? No! It... It couldnt be..." He said, but then his eyes went wide.

"I do." He whisper just low enough for me to hear. I smiled to myself. Kid leaned over to me. "You ok?" He asked, and i realized i was smiling like an idiot. "Oh ya, im ok." I responded, giving him a reasurring smile. Then i smiled a little less, even though on the inside i was smiling like the sun. Reggie liked someone!

After school, i decided i wanted to take a walk, so i departed with the others. Kid looked kinda worried, so i told him i was really ok. He smiled a little, than ran to catch up with Liz and Patty.

Finally alone, i wondered for hours. I really liked my new life, but looking back, somthing felt wrong. How did Katie know i was gonna be sucked in?

Flashback

"Well, you'll have to come here so we can decide what to do!" Death's shrill voice snapped them out of their shocked state. "What do you mean 'You'll have to come here'?" Taylor shouted. "Ya, we cant come there!" Alexus cried out.

"Your right, you cant." Death spoke with a serious voice. All the girls looked at him in question. Katie was the first to understand. "NO! JENIFER HE'S GONNA..." Katie began but didn't finish in time.

End of Flashback

There was no way anyone could figure that out. So how did she? There was only one explaination! Katie was...

"Here?" A familiar voice asked. I whirled around and came face to face with Katie. "How.." I stuttered. "Oh please, the Earth Plane was never my REAL home." She smirked, than turned into...

"Luna!" I cried out. Katie was Luna! "But, you were so nice to me! Why?" I asked, and then we started circling each other.

"Why? I needed you on my side! I didnt know you could actually CALL Death... Cause i thought you were normal. I was gonna take you here the next day." Luna explained twirling her hair.

"On your side?" I gasped, not believing this witch (There are different kinds of witches! Some are skilled enough to be Sirens) wanted me on her side. "But then you went and fell in love with Kid! Now i have to take you back!" Luna smirked reaching out for me.

No way was i gonna leave without a fight. I ran down the alley, but then ran into Free. He laughed, which kinda turned into a howl. I ran down another alley, then i ran into some white haired girl with black dots on the tips of her mouth. "Ribbet, Ribbet!" She laughed, slowly walking towards me. Behing her were hundreds of strange frogs.

I turned around and ran down another alley. You would never believe where i found myself. I was at the docks. "No way." I whispered.

"No where left to run Jenifer!" Luna cackled as she, Free, and the frog lady corned me onto a specific dock. This was just great, i was never going to see Kid again, or Reggie, or Liz... No one.

Well, there was one option. I could always jump into the water, end everything. You see, i cant swim. Where im from, there isnt any water to swim in, so no one ever learned.

I think i would rather die than leave all my new friends. So, i stood at the very end of the dock, hands stretched out. Very dramatic.

"Wait, Jenifer... What are you doing!?" Luna gasped, starting to run towards me. That was when i fell backwards, into the dark waters.
