The Assassin's beat
"WAKE UP!"Kivat yelled as Kiva was handling a Fangire in the morning. Then used his signature Darkness Moon Break to shatter the Fangire and turn it into the multicolored soul.
5 minutes later
"Wataru you were almost late."Maka sighed as Wataru ran up sweating and exhausted.
"Dude you okay?"
"Yeah just exhausted. Mission acomplished."Wataru barely got out taking out the soul before passing out in the middle of the hallway.
"Hey the new kid passed out."A blue spiky haired boy with a star tattoo said seeing Wataru.
"Hey Black Star how'd the mission go?"Soul asked as Black Star and his dark haired weapon partner Tsubaki walked up.
"Black Star ruined our cover."
"Aren't you supposed to be an assassin?"Wataru asked finally catching his breath.
"Listen to me kid. I'm your superior and when I say something it goes. I'm bigger than you."Black Star growled pointingto Wataru.
"But aren't I a couple inches taller?"Wataru asked making Maka and Tsubaki giggle a bit.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!"
"Actually I don't."
"That's it you,me fight right here."Black Star growled swinging a punch. Then he was knocked back by Wataru's punch.
"You said?"Wataru asked revealing his stained glass markings.
An hour later
"Damn Tsubaki saying I'm not a good assassin. And that kid Wataru and his stained glass tatt-"Black Star grumbled with a black eye walking up a mountain."WAIT HALF OF AL CAPONE'S MEN HAD TATTOOS LIKE WATARU! THAT MEANS...THEY ALL GO TO THE SAME TATTO PARLOR! Maybe I should try to scare Tsubaki and show her how good I am."Black Star thought aloud before climbing up the mountain."Assassin's rule number one-silence:dissolve in darkness and erase your breath. Assassin's rule number two-transpositional thinking:Analyze te target in order to predict his thoughts and movements. Assassin's rule number three-speed:Take out the target before the target notices your presence."Black star whispered cimbing the rocks. Then when he made it to a hidden lake filled by a waterfall and found the bare back of a bathing Tsubaki. Then he yelled in surprise giving away his cover.
"First rule of being an assassin is silence!"Tsubaki scolded throwing a ninja star at Black star's forehead."Oh did I do that?"
"Breath erased...okay?"Black Star asked giving a thumbs up losing blood.
"Okay."
Back at Death City
"Hey Blair. You stalking me?"Wataru asked noticing the purple cat waiting infront of his abandoned looking european house.
"Just waiting."
"Yeah and it's creepy."Kivat said flapping his wings about while Wataru unlocked the gate.
"I see. I should have seen it,you're Otoya's kid."Spirit said behind Wataru.
"Mr. Albarn? Wait how do you know my father's name?"Wataru asked as Spirit pulled out a picture of him and a man resembling Wataru."Father."
"Your dad went here. He and I became great friends and even showed up to my wedding as my best man."Spirit explained as he pulled out a small box."How's Maya?"
"I wouldn't know,she left to protect me."Wataru replied making Spirit sigh.
"Of course. I'm amazed how much you resemble them."
"Mr. Albarn-"
"Spirit."
"Spirit. Why are you here telling me this?"
"Lord Death wants the Bloody Rose. And I also came here to drop this off for Otoya."
"The Bloody Rose? The violin my mother and father crafted and what made them fall in love?"Wataru asked confused. The Bloody Rose was crafted by his Father Otoya Kurenai and his mother Maya before Otoya's death. Wataru's been trying to craft a violin perfect as this one.
"Yes. The violin was left with the ability to locate Fangires."
"I know,that's how I knew when to protect Maka and Soul a few days ago."
"I know,Lord Death promises to keep it safe."
"I'm not saying no. But what's in that box?"Wataru asked as Spirit opened the box to reveal a letter and something taped to it.
Back with Tsubaki and Black Star
"So we're hunting a witch?"
"Yes. The witch Angela but we can also finish off Capone there."Tsubaki replied as she and Black star jumped through trees.
''Alright time for a real assassination."
"Black Star focus. You rely too much on your ego, remember Wataru beat you easily because of it."
"Wataru,Wataru. You've been saying I should be more like him. What are you in love with him?"Black Star scoffed before he hit a branch.
With Wataru
"Achoo! Man allergies."Wataru sniffled reading the note in his kitchen while Kivat and Blair were cooking.
'To my son Wataru, I understand life is difficult. But I know you're going to do big things and be a great man. Look for a man called Jiro. He and Spirit will explain everything. Tell Doran I said hello. Your father,Otoya.'
"Father...How do you know?"Wataru asked as a few tears dripped onto the tape covered item. Then he took it off to reveal a key for the Bloody Rose's case.
"Huh what's that?"Blair asked as the sound of a violin's chords played.
"Kivat!"Wataru yelled recognizing the sound of the Bloody Rose's Fangire Alarm.
"Yeah."
"Wait what am I supposed to do with all this fish?"
"Your a cat. Eat it!"
With Tsubaki and Black Star
"So many souls."Black star noted as 99 kishin and Fangire souls floated around in front of a house resembling a chameleon and in front of it sat an ash blonde man with a sword.
"Are you here for the witch Angela?"The man asked getting up.
"You better believe it."
"I'm her guardian Mifune. You must get pass me to get to her."Mifune explined as he threw d entire case of swords up and the weapons stayed on the ground.
"Swords huh? Tsubaki Chain Scythe mode."Black Star ordered before they were interupted.
"Stop! You have to leave something bad is about to happen!"Wataru yelled arriving before a new fangire was formed in the shape of a small husky mafia man.
"4 targets. Get the girl."The Kishin/Fangire mob boss Al Capone ordered as 2 more fangires appeared and one ran into the house an pulled out a young girl with a chameleon hat.
"Mifune!"
"Angela!"
"Kivat!"Wataru yelled as the bat flew at a high speed and saved Angela from the fangire.
"Kivatte go! BITE!"
"Henshin!"Wataru yelled putting Kivat on the belt.
"Kiva? BOSS IT'S KIVA!"The fangire who had Angela yelled in fear as Kiva walked up.
"Lemme handle him."Capone said before becoming a Fangire resembling a mosquito.
"Wataru?"Black Star asked as Kiva walked up.
"It takes a big star to take down a Fangire."Kiva said making Black Star grip the Chain scythe.
"I'm a bigger star than you!"
"You really set him off. Good to meet you Otoya's kid."Mifune said shaking Kiva's hand.
"Yeah. HUH?! YOU KNOW MY DAD TOO?!"
"Yep. Handle Al Capone,time for some payback."Mifune said hiding Angela before charging at the second Fangire.
"Kiva. I've been waiting for this."Capone growled before shooting some kind of pollen at Kiva.
"Wataru! You okay?"Kivat yelled as the pollen paralyzed Kiva.
"Tsubaki Ninja Star mode!"Black star yelled as he threw Tsubaki who turned into a huge 5 bladed Ninja Star and hit Capone.
"You bitch!"
"Wataru?"Tsubaki asked as she saw Castle Doran appear.
'Use the blue fuestle.'
"This thing?"Tsubaki asked pulling out a fuestle with a blue wolf design and put it in Kivat's mouth.
"GARURU SABER!"Kivat yelled as Castle Doran shot a fireball with a wolf statue in it.
"Wataru!"Tsubaki and Kivat yelled as Kiva reached out an grabbed the statue as it turned into a broadsword. Then his left arm turned blue with his chestblade covered in chains before 6 silver fangs appeared revealing a blue six pack and abs. Then Kivat's eyes turned blue and the image of a wolf appeared as Kiva's eyes turned blue.
"Whoa."Black Star said as Kiva appeared from a bright light and showed Capone his new form.
"RAAHHH!"Kiva roared in a beast like state before tackling Capone.
"Gettem Mifune!"Angela cheered as Mifune stabbed one fangire with multiple swords and repeatedly slashed the other. Then two two Fangires shattered into the two souls.
"Tsubaki Smoke bomb mode!"Black Star yelled as Tsubaki turned into a small bomb and blew up and made a cloud of smoke blinding Capone.
"Where are you?"
"RAH!"
"TSUBAKI NINJA BLADE MODE!"Black Star yelled as he and Kiva used their bladed weapons and slashed Capone from all sides by running out of and back into the smoke.
"That's it!"Capone yelled punching Black Star who was caught by Kiva. Then Black star turned into Tsubaki as her illusion ended.
"Go!"
"Finishing strike Black star big wave!"Black Star yelled hittng Capone full force and sent him flying towards Tsubaki and Kiva.
"Garuru Bite!"Kivat yelled as Kiva put the blade of the Garuru Saber in his mouth. Then the sky turned black with a full moon.
"This kid is possible of doing this?"Mifune gasped as Kiva held the Garuru Saber in his mouth and jumped up. Then he went towrds Capone and the blade sliced him in half. Then as Capone shattered the image of a wolf appeared.
"Better collect the souls."Black Star said as Tsubaki nodded but stopped when they saw Kiva standing there.
"Wataru?"Tsubaki asked as Kiva reverted back to Wataru.
"Yeah?"
"Nothing just making sure it was you."
"Say. You guys know my name but I don't know yours."
"I'm the mighty Black Star and this is Tsubaki and from this day on you and I are rivals!"Black Star yelled making Wataru and Tsuabki smile.
"Actually kid,you're no where near understanding the powers belonging to Kiva."A wild looking man wearing a tux with an untied bowtie said msking the trio look at him.
"Who are you?"
"Jiro. I'm the guy who turned you into that form. Come on,we're heading back to Death City to see Spirit."Jiro said as the trio collected the souls and entered Castle Doran by a glowing light.
In Death City
"Why am I here?"Maka asked as in the school's balcony,she,Wataru,Spirit,and Jiro stood.
"To explain how our families know each other."
"It all began in 1988,Otoya Kurenai had just enrolled in the DWMA."Jiro explained the events from all those years ago.
1988
"Why hello. I'm Otoya Kurenai and you might as well have been the most beautiful woman I've ever met."A 15 year old Otoya said to a 15 year old girl with Maka's hair.
"Hey Kami did you copy the-who's the stiff?"A 15 year old Spirit asked seeing the girl who would become Maka's mother and Otoya conversing.
"Otoya Kurenai and I see this school is really dangerous since you have all those stitches."Otoya replied pointing to stiches on Spirit's arm.
"No. Just freaks like my partner Stein."
"Otoya are you a weapon or meister?"Kami asked as Otoya chuckled.
"A meister using artificial weapons."Otoya replied taking out a black and gold knuckle.
"A little too hi-tech."Spirit noted as Otoya smiled.
"Just perfect."Otoya replied before he swung his arm with the knuckle making a burst of air go and blow out all the torches in the hallway.
"Amazing who gave that to you?"
"What's amazing is that you three haven't gone to class."Jiro the gym teacher said walking up.
"I'm so sorry coach."Kami apologized going to his class.
"And you two?"
"I have a mission."Spirit sighed leaving. Then it was Otoya and Jiro left there.
"You're new here aren't you?"
"No shit Sherlock."
"Listen Kurenai. I read your file,you've been expelled from 2 schools by womanizing and 3 by picking fights. I'm the only thing keeping you from a 4th. Kami is a sweet and smart girl and Spirit is a moron so don't be a bother to them."
"That all you sweaty pile of gym shorts?"
"Go to class."
'I have your class."
"Then that makes my fun better."
2014
"What?! No way you and Wataru's dad talked to each other like that."Maka gasped as Jiro told that part.
"He was annoying."
"But a great man."A woman wearing a suit said next to Death. Then Jiro,Spirit,and Maka recognized by the Ash blonde hair it was Kami.
"Kami."
"Spirit I'm here to see Otoya's son. I still hate you."
"Jeez it's like my name is replaced by Otoya's son."Wataru sighed before Kami stood next to Jiro.
"Then during Jiro's class..."
1988
"Man this sweat head is boring."Otoya grumbled as Jiro told them to run laps.
"Otoya please relax."Kami said as she and Otoya ran at the same pace.
"Jeez Kami it's like he's so mother-"
"Kurenai! Kami! Do you want to run 10 more? Then shut up!"
"Like I said f-ing stupid."Otoya whispered making Kami giggle.
"I hate rain."Spirit said coming in soaked in rain water and blood.
"Talk about artificial hair dye. Hey Spirit is your hair colored by the blood?"
"Ha ha Kurenai. I just went through a guy's guts!"
"Oh come on you know what I said was clever."
2014
"Wow my dad was like that?"
"Yes. But he made up for it."
"Hey Ms. Kami my dad was called a womanizer. Was it true?"
"Considering we were together before Spirit and I became partners,not really. But my question how's Maya?"
"Kami Wataru lives alone."Spirit said as Kami nodded.
"Jiro aren't you his guardian?"
"I'm allowed only to raise him unless his Godmother or Godfather raise him."
"I don't even know who they are."
"Wataru Spirit and I have history with your dad. Kind of obvious."Kami said putting her hand on Wataru's shoulder.
"Oh. Then why do you show up now?"
"Wataru we didn't even know you were and lived alone."
"Then now what?"
"I live with you and raise you until Maya comes back."Kami explained before Wataru remembered the Bloody Rose and took it out of the Violin Case next to him.
"Thank you Wataru."Death said heading back to his room.
"So I guess we'll be leaening a lot about each other since we're kind of siblings now."Maka said as the adults began to leave.
"I guess."
Next time:The Kid's rythm
Author's note:I'm changing the ages of Kami and Spirit to when they're 27 when they had Maka so it makes it simpler to understand why they know Otoya.
