Chapter 6: Plan In Action
"BLACK*STAR YOU BASTARD! GET BACK HERE WITH THAT." Kai screamed at the reckless ninja. Was this a joke to him, nobody touched Kai's katana and got away with it.
"What's the matter Kai, can't live without your precious sword!" Black*Star taunted. Kai couldn't believe this. This wasn't a game to Kai, but apparently he had a death wish.
"Do you want to die!" Kai threatened. Black*Star just stood there laughing and shaking the katana on the other end of the hall, taunting him. In a fit of rage Kai ran down the hall after the knucklehead ninja.
"Come on, your faster than that, aren't you?" Black*Star yelled back. These taunts were just getting annoying now.
"Running won't save you when I get a hold of you!" Kai yelled, relentlessly pursuing him.
The two students where running full sprint down the hallways and up and down the stairs. Black*Star yelling his yahoo, and Kai beginning to see red from his unbridled rage from the assassin's dirty trick. Kai managed to catch up to Black*Star and land a kick to the back of his head sending him flying across the hallway and into a janitors closet.
"Give me back my sword and you can walk away!" Kai yelled into the darkened room. Black*Star emerged with a mop on his head and a bucket on his foot. He threw the mop aside and kicked away the bucket.
"So that's how you wanna play, huh?" Black*Star grinned. He charged at Kai at full speed and jumped to try and kick him.
Kai easily blocked the kick and the two combatants were soon locked into hand to hand combat. Black*Star was getting more and more frustrated, Kai was keeping up with his attacks perfectly. Kcick to the head, block, punch to the stomach dodge, elbow to the back deflect.
Kai wasn't having an easy time, he was focused on dodging Black*Star's attacks he couldn't find an opening without putting himself in the harms way of Black*Star. He was getting frustrated with these attack, only one thing Kai could do to get away. Was it worth it...absolutely.
Kai threw his hand to the ground while simultaneously dodging one of Black*Stars punches. Black*Star was confused as to this movement. Until, "UNRELENTING SHOCKWAVE!" Kai yelled.
Black*Star was lifted off his feet and thrown away from Kai. "Not bad newbie..." Black*Star began, "But you'll need more than a knockback to defeat this star!" Black*Star yelled and did the exact same thing to Kai. "Well that was a shock for you, wasn't it..." Black*Star grinned.
"Is now really the time for witty puns." Kai said. Although he wouldn't let Black*Star know it, he was shocked at his surprising control over his wavelength.
"I thought it was pretty good." Black*Star laughed. Not realizing that he had lost focus on his opponent .
Kai charged him and put his hand firmly into Black*Star's throat. The assassin coughed up blood from the hit. But blood wasn't gonna stop the reckless maniac, he pulled a hidden kunai from his belt and slashed at Kai. The blade cut Kai's hand and blood started to trickle from the wound. Kai looked at the red liquid oozing from the small cut on his palm, mesmerized by the wound.
"What's wrong Kai, scared of a little blood!" Black*Star yelled, thinking Kai was stopping fromhis small knife wound.
"No, I'm not..." Kai said, his voice filled with a very strong seriousness that quickly turned into an evil grin. "Thanks Black*Star, now I can fight with even more of my power..." Kai laughed. Black*Star had a confused look on his face until Kai sent another knockback at him.
The two quickly resumed their even more intense game of cat and mouse. Occasionally the two would catch each other in hand to hand combat with kicks and punches as fast as lightning. The two had reached the floor with the dormitories and had stopped to face each other.
"Last chance Black*Star, give it back and I won't hurt you!" Kai warned hoping that at least some common sense was in that think skull of Black*Star's.
"Hurt me, please your the one who should quit now!" Black*Star retorted, hoping that Kai would see how much of a strong meister he was.
"Verywell then, IT"S YOUR FUNERAL!" Kai yelled in anger, "COME FACE YOUR DEFEAT LIKE A TRUE WARRIO!" Kai demanded wanting Black*Star to charge him.
"YAHOO, PREPARE TO LOSE APPRENTICE OF MY ENEMY!" Black*Star yelled. They both began to charge each other at full speed ready to use their finishing attack.
"BLACK*STAR BIG WAVE!" Black*Star yelled, as his hand started glowing light blue with his wavelength.
"LEGACY BLOOD BLAST!" Kai yelled, the hand that Black*Star had cut started to glow a dark blue colour as the blood in his cut turned bright red, ready to explode from his hand with the combined ability of his wavelengths strength.
Meanwhile
"So why did your dad call us to the death room?" Soul asked Kid while they both walked down the hallway pass the dormitories.
"No idea, he said he wanted to know how Kai was doing and wanted to know about the plans for the little witch Angela's party." Kid answered.
"That's great, but why does he need me?" Soul asked again.
"Perhaps Spirit wants to know how his daughter is doing in Paris?" Kid responded not quite sure himself.
The two continued down the hall and stopped when they heard what sounded like yelling.
"Um, Kid what was that?" Soul asked, curious as to who could possibly be yelling, it was a Saturday, so there shouldn't be anybody in the school.
"I'm not sure but we better go find out."Kid answered as the two began running to the end of the hall.
They quickly saw there answer when Black*Star and Kai appeared in the centre of the hall, charging each other at full speed with attacks charged and aimed at the other. Kid and Soul were blinded by the clash of the two's exceptionally powerful wavelengths that had erupted into an explosion on blue light with specks of charged red blood.
"What the hell are those two doing?!" Kid asked, worried that the symmetry would be broken because of the clash.
"Well nothing now, look." Soul responded laughing at the paralysed Kai and Black*Star, the two's attacks were so powerful that they had knocked each other both out from the fight.
Kid and Soul laughed as the two mumbled between each other about who had won the fight. It didn't take Kid long to notice Kai's Katana on Black*Star's back to figure out what had happened. But as Soul was making jokes about the two, Kid was worried about what he had seen. Normally Black*Star would have severely hurt his opponent, but Kai was just drained of his energy. Had he had his Katana he feared Black*Star's fate since the weapon would have obviously increased his wavelength to even greater power.
"Honestly, you two dumb asses are far stupider than I thought." Soul joked as he carried one of the downed combatants to the death room.
"Soul. Don't be an asshole..." Black*Star spoke up, although he immediately went back to mumbling after due to his energy being drained.
Kid, Soul, Black*Star, and Kai had finally made it to the death room. They made their way down the guillotine path way to reach the centre of the Death Room, where Lord Death, Stein, Mifune,Spirit, and Sid where all waiting.
"What the hell happened to them?" Sid asked.
"Long story we'll tell you after." Soul stated, not wanting to get the two started in their argument again.
"Well, what did you want to see us for father?" Kid asked.
"Oh I just wanted to know how Angela's party was coming along?" Lord Death asked, hoping to hear that the preparations were going well.
"Everything is going well father." Kid answered, proud that this gave Lord Death a sense of happiness.
"Excellent, I'm sure having a party like this will also put off her temptation to destruction." Stein said.
"And Kai, how is my apprentice doing in regular classes?" Mifune asked, fearing the answer since Kai was just starting to regain the ability to move.
"In class he's doing well."Stein responded, "But how is he in your group of friends?" Stein asked Kid.
"He's a cool guy, and is a good friend to all of us, some of us more than others." Soul laughed, he noticed Kai's face turn a little red from his comment. If Kai had it in him to speak, he'd of told Soul to shut up.
"Great glad to hear it." Mifune responded.
"And could you fill us in on this situation..." Stein asked. As if on a jump start Kai and Black*Star awoke from their daze and started arguing with each other about who won, who was stronger, and about the Katana. Everyone in the room couldn't understand a word they where saying. Finally, Lord Death had enough of this pointless squabbling.
"REAPER!" Death began, Kai and Black*Star turned to Lord Death with fear in their eyes, for they knew what was about to come. "CHOP!" Lord Death cracked both Kai and Black*Star in the head with his hands, making them both fall to the ground and cringe in pain.
"Now explain one at a time, in a civilized manner." Lord Death told them.
"Well Black*Star broke into my room and took my sword." Kai said.
"And only because it's against the rules to carry a weapon, or weapon partner as a weapon during a school event." Black*Star retorted. After this Soul and Kid knew what Black*Star had really done, he set the ball in motion.
"I see, well that is true Kai, I'll hold on to your sword until 's party is over, ok?" Lord Death asked, this way the peace was kept between the two. "Fine..." Kai responded.
"Excellent now you two apologize for attacking each other." Sid staed, slightly chuckling as he did.
Kai and Black*Star looked at each other for a moment and then shook hands putting the fight between them.
"For the record, that was the best fight I've had in awhile." Kai grinned at Black*Star
"Of course it was, any fight with a big star like me is always a good fight." Black*Star responded.
"Anyway, so how's Maka, Soul?" Spirit asked, this question immediately grabbing Kai's attention.
"She's good, and she's enjoying her mother's company with the girls." Soul responded, trying his best to hold off a laugh sds he noticed Kai's immediate attention at Maka's mention.
"Good I'm glad." Spirit responded happy to hear his daughter was enjoying her time.
After this the four friends left the teachers in peace and headed out to Soul's house to chill out for the rest of the day. On there way out Soul and Kid gave Black*Star a look that spoke a million words to him. The biggest ones being, well done, since now Kai's excuse to not dance with Maka was eliminated.
In Paris
Maka was sitting at a cafe with her mother. It wasn't long for the other girls to go off sight seeing and shopping while she got some alone time with her mom. They sat at the cafe eating their meals and discussing things that had all happened during Maka's time at the DWMA since she last saw her. Soon Maka's mom had a question to ask.
"So Maka, I've heard some rumours about you." Maka's mom began.
"Oh like what?" Maka asked generally confused by her mothers statement.
"Oh just about some new boy who arrived that you seem to have gotten close with..." She continued,
"Oh you mean Kai?" Maka confirmed. Her mother nodded. She motioned Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki to come join them.
"Yes him, the girls here seem to be convinced that you like him." Her mother teased. This comment made all of them laugh and turn Maka's face a bright red.
"What I do not!" Maka defended. She was embarrassed at her mothers assumption.
"Oh you do so Maka, stop hiding it."Liz added.
"Yea, it's ok to like him Maka." Tsubaki added trying to make her feel more comfortable with the topic.
"Yea, tell us everything!" Patty yelled thinking that she had just started an interrogation, only to be told to come down and drink her juice from her sister.
"It's ok sweetie, you don't need to hide it from me." Her mother stated, this seemed to let Maka come out of her shell a bit. Was this how Kai felt around other people for so long, she thought.
"Well, I might like him..." Maka continued, only to be interrupted by the girly squeal from the others at the fact that she admitted it.
"WE KNEW IT!" Liz and Patty yelled at the same time, over joyed that they were correct.
Maka explained to her mother about how he arrived, when he hung out with them, the necklace he bought her, and her feelings for him. Everybody listened to her intently as she admitted it to everybody fully. When she finally finished talking about him everyone was so glad to know the truth.
"I'm just really shy about telling him how I feel, since he has just started to talk more." Maka said worried that she'll never be able to tell Kai how she felt.
"Trust me Maka..." Liz began, "I think he likes you to." she continued.
"And you two would be sooooooooooooooooo cute together." Patty said with stars in her eyes as she imagined Kai and Maka together.
Maka just smiled at the thought herself, she couldn't wait to see him when they got back, and she still had the dance to look forward to as well.
"Well..." Maka's mother began, "Kai sounds like a real keeper Maka." Her mother smiled at her.
"Thanks mom." Maka grinned.
