Glammie: I am such a good person.
Maka: Why is that?
Glammie: I gave the readers more chapters.
Maka: Or you cannot count.
Glammie: Shhhhhh they do not know that I suck at math...I thought you had pregnant things to do.
Maka: I thought you were in Calculus...and I will do my pregnant things on my own time (Wadles to my couch)
Glammie: Well since you are just sitting there you can do the disclaimer.
Maka:(Sighs) Glammiegirl328 does not own Soul Eater, but she does own a bruised head.
Glammie:(Confused) Why is that?
Maka: Makachop! (Picks a book up out of nowhere)
Glammie: Ouch! What was that for?
Maka: I felt annoyed.
Glammie:(Whispering) Crazy pregnant people.
Maka: What was that?!
Root of all evil
Two Weeks went by since the pregnancy news. Since Maka was not showing yet, they decided to keep it a secret from their other friends. The only people who knew were Soul and Tsubaki. The others would be kept in the dark until Maka found a good way to explain this. Maka had only told Tsubaki because she needed a female perspective on the matter. It was starting to get awkward talking to Soul about her hormones and womanly problems.
Although Soul had been a big help. When Maka started having morning sickness, Soul helped her to the bathroom. He even went as far as making designing a bucket with girly stuff and a lable that said "The Chum Bucket", the latter decoration got Soul a bucket toss to the head. Besides being annoying, Soul became her biggest help when Arusa was not around.
Speaking of Arusa, Maka had not seen the father-to-be since yesterday. He had stayed with her until she fell asleep, leaving her a note saying that he had business to tend to tomorrow. That left Maka to wonder what had been keeping her boyfriend so busy.
(Arusa In The Death Room)
Arusa sat in a chair across from his old friend/enemy. With a cup of tea in hand, he told Lord Death the big news.
Lord Death:(Spitting his tea) Pregnant!?
Arusa:(Wiping his face) I will never understand how you can drink and spit through that mask.
Lord Death:(Shrugging) Practice. However, do not change the subject.
Arusa:(Sighing) Yes, Maka is carrying my child. She is only a couple of weeks along.
Lord Death:(Nodding) Well, you sure move quickly. Only been mortal for about a year and you are already creating a family.
Arusa: What can I say. I knew what I wanted and I went after it.
Lord Death: But, you do not think it is too soon for a child?
Arusa: No, I think now is the perfect time.
Lord Death: Very well, I will respect your wishes. Is there anything else you wanted?
Arusa: Just a concern.
Lord Death:(Sipping his tea then looking at the male) And that is?
Arusa: Well, it is the power that the child will have.
Lord Death: What about it?
Arusa: Well, Maka has both Meister and Weapon blood in her, and I have tainted blood from my eternal damnation. Also we both have black blood in us. Do you think that could effect how the child might turn out?
Lord Death: Well, its conception is the first of its kind, so there is no telling how the baby might turn out. If it is anything of concern we can work to restrain its power.
Arusa: How can you be sure that we can restrain it?
Lord Death: Well, when Kid was little I put restrictions on his power output. If he tried to use a lot, it just put him to sleep. Easy parenting.
Arusa: Why do I get the feeling that you should not be allowed to babysit? (Shaking his head)
Lord Death: Dunno, I sure did a good job with Kiddo.
Arusa: Your son has OCD.
Lord Death:(Shrugging) I recall saying good, not great.
Arusa just looked at the man with a blank stare and went beack to his tea. It was still incredible to him that this man really used to be one of his close friends. Thinking back on it, he did not understand how that friendship started.
The two males sat and talked for a bit more until Arusa got up to take his leave.
(Aw Yeah Time Skip)
Maka: Why must I alway be the one to suffer?
That is how Arusa found her in the bathroom, lying next to the toilet with her "Woe is me" attitude.
Arusa: Maybe you should get up. (Reaching for her)
Maka:(Swatting his hands away) Keep your hands to yourself. They are the reason we are in this mess to begin with.
Arusa: Oh? (Raising an eyebrow) Last time I recalled you initiated the act that got us "in this mess".
Maka: Well, it is your fault that the condom was defective.
Arusa:(Smirked) Well at the time I was a bit preoccupied. Besides you didn't seem to mind when you were begging me to -
Maka:(Cutting him off) Hey hey, there is a child present. (Pointing to her stomach)
Arusa felt his smirk go wider as he bent down to whisper all the things he wanted to say out loud moments ago. When he moved his head from her ear, not before softly bitting the lobe, he noticed that a blush was moving across her cheeks.
Maka:(Regaining her speech) You are a perv, you know that?
Arusa:(Lifting her off the floor) Well now I do. Thank you for that enlightening statement. Now I feel like I can move on and fulfill my dreams.
Maka: You are welcome, bastard.
Arusa: Well, I never knew if my parents were married.
Maka blinked at the statement. Arusa had never once mentioned his family, and Maka never felt compelled to ask him. She had heard that his parents were killed by the kishin, but that was all.
Arusa noticed her silence as he walked her back to her room.
Arusa: Something wrong?
Maka shook her head.
Arusa: You know it is ok if you want to learn things about me. I am willing to share my life with you.
Maka walked into her room and sat down on her bed. Arusa sat next to her and just watched her collect her thoughts.
Maka:(After moments of silence) What made you change your mind?
Arusa: Because you are the mother of my child and we should start opening our lives to each other.
Maka just shrugged.
Arusa: Besides we need to be more bonded for Arusa Jr.
Maka:(Frowning then smirking) Who says that it was a boy?
Arusa: Never said it was, just keeping our name options open.
Maka shook her head and smiled. She was still surprised that Arusa was taking this whole baby thing so well. She had heard so many teen pregnancy horror stories that she thought it would happen to her.
Maka: Well tell me about your family. You only ever heard of mine, so I think it is a good place to start.
Arusa: Well, I was the eldest of two children, I had a brother. I never met my mother, and my father was an important member of a council. However, he was never around much, so he left me with this couple to raise me. Besides the couple was a girl named Kokona, but we just called her Koko.
Maka just sat there in silence, taking all the information in. She was shocked about the news. She did not know about a brother, a father, or his caretakers. She was honestly glad that he was opening up to him, it felt like she was being more root into his life.
Arusa: When my town was (Clearing his throat) destroyed, I moved to Nevada. I was invited to the Academy by Lord Death after he discovered my talents.
Arusa continued to tell his story of his coming to the Academy and answering any questions Maka had.
(Flashback to 817 years ago) [Asura age 8]
A young Asura sat on the ground crying. His town was destroyed and his caretakers had died in the destruction. He could not find his best friend, Koko.
Asura:(Crying) Somebody? Is anybody here?
Silence.
This caused the young boy to wail. He had woken up to fire and destruction. There was a eerie silence in the town and it seemed like no one was there. Asura looked for hours for his makeshift family with no avail.
He finally decided to get away from this place. Maybe there was another town that he could get help from. So the child slowly wandered through the forest. He was uneasy because his Nona, the caretaker, had told him to never wander in the forest alone, but he needed someone to help him to find them.
He walked a bit longer until the sky started to darken. He decided that his best bet was to find somewhere safe to sleep. To his left was a cave that was in a spot high enough that he could run away from predators if time called for it.
As Asura walked towards the cave, the bushes next to him started rustling. This scared the young boy. His Nona was right, and now the monsters were going to get him.
Asura:(Backing away from the bush) Hello?
A mysterious voice from the other side of the bushed called him a fool.
Arusa: I am not a fool. I am really smart, ya dumb bush. (Sticking out his tongue)
A small white figure the appeared from the bushes and pointed a white cane at the boy.
Excalibur: Yes, you are a fool. Provision number 975 says that sneezing twice in a row is a sign of good fortune.
Asura sweatdropped.
Asura: Dude, what the heck are you talking about?
Excalibur stood in a pose for about three minutes while Asura just stared.
Excalibur: Fool! (Pointing at a squirrel) Do you dare mock the holy sword Excalibur. My legend dates back to the 12th century.
Asura: Oh come on! What did the squirrel do to you?
Excalibur thought it over for a second before looking at the boy.
Excalibur: You there, what is your name?
Asura: My name is Asura.
Excalibur:(Nodding) Why are you in the forest? Where are your parents?
Asura: My dad put in this town nearby. But, I woke up and it was destroyed and I could not find my Nona, Pipa, or Koko. I was all alone and I have nowhere to go. I just want everything to go back to normal.
Excalibur: Fool! Where is you father currently?
Asura: He said that he lives in a place called Death City. (Ignoring the fact that he was called a "Fool" again)
Excalibur: Well, you are in luck, because that is where I am headed.
With that the pair made the long journey to Death City. Some days were more bearable than others. Excalibur had made it his life mission to tell Arusa a five hour story about anything. It was slowly killing the kid and he could not wait to get to the city soon.
By the end of the month, the duo had made it to Death City. Fortunately, there were no casualties, although Asura had contemplated on strangling the weapon if he uttered another syllable of a story.
Asura looked around at the buildings. The city was not really as extravagant as Asura had thought it would be. However, it was still really big. Looking for his father would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Asura: Um, how are we supposed to find my dad?
Excalibur: Follow me. I know exactly where your father is.
Asura shrugged and followed the holy weapon. They called a taxi and made it to a mansion.
Asura watched through the windows with wide eyes. Who could live here?
The taxi pulled up in front of the mansion, and Excalibur exited the car. He stood there waiting for the boy to exit before walking to the front door. He knocked a couple times, waiting until he heard something move from behind the door.
Soon a figure in a mask and a tattered cloke came from behind the door. He had a really deep scary voice, almoat scaring the boy.
Excalibur: Lord Death you were right. The large levels of power coming from that town was your son.
The clocked figure looked over at the boy.
Lord Death: What is your name?
Asura frowned. More introductions? He was quite honestly getting tired of them.
Asura: Hi, my name is Asura and I am looking for my dad with this weird ,person, I guess, over here.
Lord Death:(Nodding) My, you have gotten so big.
Asura:(Frowning) And you are?
Lord Death:(Chuckling under the mask) Well, my name is Death, but in your case, you will be referring to me as Dad.
Asura blinked as the words soaked in.
Asura: Dad?
(Fastforward 800 years ago) [Asura age 25]
Asura: You decide to tell me this now!?
Lord Death: I just thought it was time that you knew.
Asura: That I killed everyone in my village. That I was so destructive that you had to restrict my power?
Lord Death: You are not a child anymore, Asura. I should be able to tell you things without you throwing a temper tantrum.
Asura: That was my family, father. (Spilling venom into the last word) They raised me when you were not around. How did you expect me to take this news.
Lord Death: Like the professional shinigami that you are going to be. We deal with death all the time.
Asura: Well maybe I hate death. Anything that can take good people from the world is disgusting. Maybe that is why mortals fear it.
Lord Death: How dare you speak that way!? This is why we are made; we are deities of death.
Asura: How can I trust that this is my purpose? It is right to take innocent people? Does it benifit the world?
Lord Death: It does, and you will stay and continue your training with your weapon.
Asura: No, I am not. I cannot even trust you with the truth.
Lord Death: Where will you go?
Asura: To find my own path.
Asura walked towards the door. He picked up a bag and walked out the door. That was the last time Lord Death had seen his son. The next time they were staring each other in the eyes, Asura had become a kishin.
(Present Time)
Kid sat there in the Death Room with his father. They were spending their quality family time because his father thought it was a good way for them to bond and become a stronger family unit.
Lord Death: So Kid, what has been going on?
Kid: Black*Star, decided to fight me again, so I have been working on making the school symmetrical.
Lord Death just nodded along. He knew that the assassin had a goal of beating a god , and Kid was a god in training.
Kid: Then I noticed that Maka and Aru-Asura have been very secretive.
Lord Death: Well they are a couple. Some things are better spoken in private.
Kid: But it just makes me feel uneasy. What if he is manipulating her into something.
Lord Death: Maka has a good head on her shoulders. I know that she is smart enough not to fall to the evil side.
Kid: She might be clouded by her love for Asura.
Lord Death: I think Asura has thrown away his evilness for her love.
After that was said someone burst into the door. Kid and his father both looked up at the person entering, it was Spirit.
Spirit: Lord Death, scouts have notice large amounts of kishin madness flowing from the outskirts of Death City.
Kid gave his father a knowing look. Then he raised from his seat and ran towards the door.
Lord Death: Kid, where are you going!?
Kid: To save my friends. (Exiting the room)
Spirit gave Lord Death a questioning look.
Spirit: What is he talking about?
Lord Death motioned to the chair that Kid had just rose from.
Lord Death: Spirit I think you might want to sit down for this one.
Extras:
Sebastian: By popular demand, myself and Grell will be doing the Extras.
Grell: Oh Bassy, this chapter was so tragic. Almost like our story of love.
Glammie: Ok Grell, when I said you could be here, I did not mean that you could harass Sebastian.
Sebastian:Thank you for that.
Glammie: No problem. Your love is very un-ship-able so that would be annoying if that was going on in my room.
Grell: But, my womanly urges sing for Sebastian to grace me with a tender touch. However, he always finds himself preoccupied with the brat.
Ciel:(In the distance) What was that!?
Glammie: Ok guys, can it. I have some things to tell the readers. (Silence) Ok, first, I am sorry for being late, but my volunteer work, teaching kids writing skills, has given me serious writers block. Second, I am accepting any requests for my next story. So, if you have any ideas PM me or review them.
Sebastian: With that said we have some shout outs.
Hatter Quicktype: Well herevis your next chapter. It is cool that I am not the only one with Fanfiction insomnia.
Girl-luvs-manga: Well, a very dysfunctional family.
Ecila: I kinda like your review. I was like when I had voices in my head that I talked to.
Mega-Gamer 18: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Yay a guest: Well you got your wish. And thank you.
Sebastian: Obviously.
Grell: Honestly Glamm, I thinked the person noticed.
Glammie: I thought I told you guys to shuddup.
Grell: Rude way to talk to a lady.
Glamm: You are a man, Grell. Anywho!
Lifeisnowhere-182: I did. Thank you.
Sebastian: Well, I will be doing the closing. Glammiegirl328 thanks all of you sincerely for reviewing, following and favoriting. Now please review or what kind of reader would you be?
Grell: Oh Bassy, that was perfect.
