Chapter 2: School for Mini Meisters
Lord Death P.O.V.
"Wake up, wake up, WAKE UPPP!" I shout, walking into Kid and Miyu's room.
"Five more minutes..." "No, its too early..." Words came from under the comforters where they lay.
"Don't you two want to attend school? Maybe I should call Stein, let him know you guys don't want to come..." I mused, chuckling on the inside.
Suddenly a rush of air from beside me, and I watched little Miyu and Kid fight to get ready first. I smiled behind my mask, watching the two rush around, turning it into a race to get ready first. Miyu shoved her brother out of the way, getting to the sink to brush her teeth first. Kid got everything into his backpack instead, and then brushed his teeth and hair. Miyu won for fastest, but as soon as we started to head out to go to the Death Room, where they would begin their lessons, Miyu realized she forgot her pencil case, causing us to turn around and get it.
"MIYU! Stein and Marie are waiitttiiinnnggg!" I sang up the stairs and she rushed back down and out the door.
We made it to the DWMA in under ten minutes. I flew, holding one child in each arm. They were used to this, I did it to travel. I walked through the halls, stopping to converse with students every now and then until my children began to drag me away. I walked down my guillotine hall, Miyu and Kid skipping ahead. Marie waved in greeting, and Stein just nodded.
"Your late." Stein said, slight annoyance tone in his voice.
"Lighten up!" I slapped Stein on the back, and then turned to Marie. "Anyways where you guys heading with these two?"
"Stein and I are going to hunt down a open classroom and teach them the basics of weapon wielding. Are they both meisters?" Marie asked, her eyes on my children, who are trembling with excitement.
"As far as I know, yes. You might want to test that. I have to check up on Azusa and Justin, see how the collection is going. How long will the lessons be? Should they be regularly?" I asked Marie, Stein to busy being taken down by Miyu.
"We both have a free period from 9am-11am all week. Do you want us to do it then? Weekends should be off, we all need time to relax." Marie offered, and I nodded agreeing.
"MIYU! LEAVE THE POOR GUY ALONE! COME HERE! WHERE'S KID?" I shouted, looking for my son. "Oh, your right beside me..."
Miyu ran over and hugged my legs. I pried her off and lifted both Kid and Miyu, hugging them tightly.
"Now, I want you two to be good for Professor Stein and Ms. Marie." I said, alternating looking them both in the eyes. "Listen to what they say, and be safe! I love you!"
"Of course Dad!" Kid said, squirming to get down.
"Love you!" Miyu struggled also.
I chuckled, putting them down and watching as they ran to Marie and Stein, who were walking away side by side.
"Now, let's check on Azusa and Justin, I wonder how they are doing?" I mumbled to myself, and turned to my mirror.
Just before I wrote the number into the mirror, Spirit's face appeared, his arm slung over a beautiful woman.
"Hey there Lord Death! I have some news!" Spirit said, while his fiancee, Kami, smiled at me.
"Hey Spirit! Missing you here, I need to Reaper Chop someone and your not here! Anyways, what's up? What's the news?!" I said loudly, sounding like an excited child.
"My lovely soon-to-be wife is...dramatic drum roll please!" Spirit replied.
"The suspense is killing me!" I playfully slapped my hand over my heart and sighed longingly.
"No dying on us Lord Death, the DWMA would be in shambles at this point, anyways...Kami's pregnant!" Spirit announced, hugging Kami tightly too his side.
"Congratulations!" I shouted excitedly!
"So, Lord Death?" Kami's sweet voice interrupts my cheering. "Can Spirit take a leave? Only called upon if in an emergency?"
"Of course Spirit!" I conclude, and then we sign off.
I write the numbers to contact Justin my now fogged up mirror. It ripples for a bit, then Justin and Azusa's face appear.
"Hello Lord Death. Want us to report in?" Azusa says, adjusting her glasses.
Justin just stands there silently, headphones in his ears. Rock music is playing loudly, while Azusa reports.
"We have successfully cleaned up all three hundred and three souls, returning them to where they are supposed to be. Justin has hunted down the Meister and Weapon team who ate the Kishin Egg, and we have now found another two outside allies. They are an unusual pair, the weapon turns into a shovel. Their names are Dayna, the meister, and Sidney, the weapon. They show to be extremely talentedfor such an odd pairing and weapon form. Dayna has agreed to become an ally of the DWMA, along with Sidney. I sent them ahead of us to come talk to you, arrange. I know how you always like having outside help." Asuza reported, while Justin stared off into the distance, silent as ever.
"Excellent Azusa, as always!" I praised. "And how old are the two?"
"Dayna is fourteen, and Sidney is fifteen. They are close cousins, who's family's were killed by the Kishin Egg soul. Maybe we could suggest a permanent place at the academy? As students?" Azusa said.
"I will have Stein assess their skills as soon as they arrive. One more question, how soon do you think they will arrive?"
"I sent them about an hour ago, and they went by train. Should be showing up in the next two hours or so, anyways must go make sure final clean-up duties are don't. Justine?" Azusa hit Justin's shoulder lightly, and he turned back and focused on me. "Anything to say to Lord Death? Did I miss anything?"
"Praise your awesomeness, my Lord Death!" Justin vowed, holding his cross to his chest.
I waved goodbye to my two Death Scythes, and sent a meister and weapon to meet Dayna and Sidney at the entrance to Death City.
"Now, time for tea!" I said to myself, sitting down to the peace and quiet, pouring myself a glass of tea.
"To a safe an happy future to all!" I held up my cup, and sipped it, waiting for something else to need my attention.
But at the moment, I could rest and enjoy the peace.
