Hey guys… Hehe… ummm here's the next chapter…? *dodges a brick in time* Oh shit. Okay, who threw that?! Sorry for this… But… JUST GET ON WITH THE STORY!
The girl kept going near him. He trembled in fear as he didn't know who the occupants are. He was backed up against the wall as she finally reached him.
"Soul…" she said and tried to reach out to comfort him. Soul shook his head and ran behind the broken piano, the other strangers started to go closer to him in concern,
"Don't come near me!" he shouted. Who are these strangers? Where is he? What happened to the piano? Did… did they fight because of his music?
"Soul… it's alright." Same girl said. He shook his head. Who are they?
"Hey, Soul… why won't you come out of your hiding spot and come here. We promise we aren't angry." a boy with three lines on the left side of his hair. Mom said that dying your hair is bad. He thought absentmindedly. The boy with lines tensed and laughed nervously,
"Uh… this is not dyed." He said casually. Soul's eyes widened and clamped his mouth shut.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean t-to say it out loud!" he said and trembled some more. The other occupants of the room were surprised. A Japanese girl came nearer and crouched to his level,
"Soul… do… do you know us?" she asked softly in English, having a bit of a hard time but managed. Soul blinked a little and shook his head.
"I'm sorry… but who are you and why am I in this place?" he asked. The occupants tensed and widened their eyes.
"Hey, buddy… do you really not know us?" a boy with spiky blue hair asked, "Don't joke around." He said seriously. Soul shuddered at his stern voice.
"Soul… look at me." Same boy with the three lines said softly. Soul glanced up at him.
"W-what's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Did you fight? Are you alright? I'm sorry for this!" he said and bowed a little.
"No, nothing's wrong. You didn't do anything wrong. We didn't fight and you don't need to apologize. I'm Kid." Kid introduced awkwardly. Soul glanced up again, beaming at them. He tensed up again,
"Kid…? Death the Kid…?" he asked slowly. The other occupants were shocked, but not as shocked as Kid,
"H-how'd you know?" Kid asked. Soul went near him and hugged his legs all of a sudden.
"You were the one who gave me cookies! It was delicious! Thank you Big Brother Kid!" he said and tugged on his pant leg. Kid was still surprised but picked him up. Soul giggled cutely and snuggled up at Kid's neck. A tall girl came closer to him and smiled softly.
"Hi Soul… I'm Elizabeth Thompson, but call me Liz. Do you me to carry you?" she asked in perfect English. Soul shook his head and snuggled up closer to Kid,
"I like Big Brother Kid more." He stated and looked up at Kid, "Um… where am I anyway?" he asked. The ashen blonde girl came closer,
"I'm Maka Albarn. You are in Nevada, United States." She said softly. Soul blinked a bit and nodded.
"How did you guys even know my name?" he asked curiously, "And who are the others?" he added. His mind was a bit fuzzy.
"Well, we were friends since you were… small. Your parents told us to bring you here to visit us again." Kid explained. Soul nodded and waited for the others to introduce themselves.
"I'm Patti Thompson! YOU ARE SO CUTE." A girl with short hair said. Soul smiled at the compliment, making her squeal more. The Japanese girl went next and bowed politely,
"I'm Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, nice to meet you Soul." She smiled. The blue-haired weirdo came up next and was beside Kid.
"I AM THE PERSON WHO SOON SURPASSES THE GOD! BLACK*STAR IS THE NAME!" he shouted, "Don't forget that kid." He added and grinned. Soul grimaced at his high volume but let it slide.
"Big Brother Kid, Big Sister Maka, Big Sister Liz, Big Sister Patti, Big Sister Tsubaki, and Big Brother Black*Star." He said slowly to remember all their names. Maka grinned and pat his shoulder,
"You can add nii-san at the end of the boys and nee-san at the end of the girls so you won't have a hard time in saying those long words." She explained. Soul gave her a confused face, "They're Japanese words, our major in school." She added, giggling when he finally got it.
"Can I call you guys in nicknames?" he asked and was answered with nods. He took a deep breath and started calling them by nicknames, "Kid-nii, Maka-nee, Liz-nee, Patti-nee, Tsu-nee, and BS-nii."
"Good. Now let's get you cleaned up." Kid said, "You'll be staying in my house." He added and gave a glance at the others.
"I'll go home first and get some of my things to stay here too." Maka said and hurriedly went home to pack some clothes. Tsubaki also excused herself to pack her and Black*Star's stuff. After minutes, Soul and Kid emerged out of the bathroom. Kid was wearing his pajamas while Soul is wrapped with a towel.
"… Liz. Patti." Kid called out as he picked up Soul and went to the girls' room and saw them preparing extra futons for Maka and Tsubaki. Liz glanced up,
"What?" she asked. Kid scratched the back of his neck and chuckled nervously,
"Do you have some clothes that are unisex? Soul needs it." He said as he tightened his hold on Soul. Soul didn't mind being picked up; it was a normal thing for a 4 year old anyway. Patti brightened up and squealed,
"I've got the perfect outfit for him!" she shouted and rummaged her closet. Kid and Liz grimaced at her while Soul was giving her an innocent look. After a while, she practically shoved the outfit at Kid and shooed him away.
"W-wait Patti!" he managed to stutter out.
"Good luck!" she giggled and closed the door. Kid gaped at her and glanced at Soul, who was yawning and scrunching his eyes up. Kid chuckled at how Soul was being adorable.
"Are you sleepy already? We haven't had dinner yet." He stated and poked Soul's nose. Soul yawned again and snuggled up at Kid's neck.
"Wake me up then if it's already dinner time." He said in his simple English accent. Kid panicked a little but calmed down when he heard Soul's adorably quiet snores. He shook his head and went to his room. He placed Soul down slowly and checked the outfit Patti gave him. He grimaced at it.
"Are you trying to make us have a cuteness overload, Patti?" he asked to no one in particular and went on to dress Soul up. After dressing Soul up, he went to the kitchen to start making their dinner. Liz and Patti went to the kitchen to help in making their dinner. The others arrived and also helped, well except for Black*Star.
Soul started tossing and turning in his sleep, face scrunch up in a painful expression.
A 12 year old Soul was with his older brother, Wes, who was 19, and his 2 dogs. His brother was playing with his pet rabbit, while Soul was petting Charlotte and Bandit.
"Soul, come here." Their father called. Both kids visibly tensed and turned around.
"W-what do you need d-dad…?" Soul asked; fear lacing his voice as it went unnoticed by his father. Disgust was evident on his brother's face as he scooted closer to Soul, trying to protect him from their father.
"Wes, can you leave us for a while." Their father said as he went closer to both sons. Wes stood up and placed a protective arm over Soul.
"I'm hanging out with him. You can't make him go." He said harshly and glared at their father. Soul's face was filled with fear for his brother. He tugged at his brother's pant leg.
"W-Wes… you don't need to do this…" he whispered. Wes's heart clenched at the sound of Soul's fearful voice. He scowled at their abusive father. He was really nice before, like an angel when Soul was born. Then suddenly he changed when Soul became the family's only pianist.
"Wesley Evans." Riley said sternly, making both kids wince, "You are a young adult. Don't act so childish. Step aside, I'll talk with Soul." He said as he came closer and grabbed Soul's arm. Soul yelped a bit at the sudden pressure. Tears started forming at the corner of his eyes when his father pressured a fading bruise.
"Father, let him go." Wes ordered, venom lacing his tone. Riley grimaced at him,
"Wesley, go inside." He ordered sternly, telling a butler to bring him inside. He silently glared at Soul as Wes was being carried away, ignoring his tantrums. "That Wes, he spends too much time with you." He said coldly, tightening his grip on Soul's frail arm.
"D-dad… p-please let go." He begged as he bit back a cry. Riley smirked, making Soul cower in fear of what his father will do.
"I've heard rumors about you being special… You're not yet old enough to leave the manor." He started, facing Soul as he did.
"I-I'm not l-leaving the m-manor." He stuttered, making Riley laugh. He was pulled towards a field, crying out as he pressured his left foot and his father tightening his grip more. Once they made it to the field, Riley pulled out a pouch and started grinning.
"I've heard that you secretly have the blood of a weapon flowing through your veins. Our family physician said that there was something odd with your blood." He explained as he scooted closer to Soul, who in return, took a step backward. "Did you know that you're the first Evans to have the blood of a weapon? On your mother's side, some of them were meisters once. They told stories about it, about humans turning into weapons, collecting souls… Then that's where I realized that Ashleigh gave you that name, plus you're an albino." He added, pinning Soul on a tree.
"W-what…?" Soul started but was cut off when his father forced something down his throat. He gripped his father's arms as he was forced to swallow something soft and tasteless, closing his eyes as he doesn't want to swallow it. Suddenly feeling that he wasn't breathing, he forced his eyes open and saw his father holding his nose. He started trashing around but gave up to his humanly desires, opening his mouth to breathe, only to swallow what was inside his mouth. His eyes widened at the sudden surge of power, making him clutch his head, grinning madly.
"See? You would make a perfect kishin." His father said maliciously. Soul started laughing insanely and transformed his arm into a scythe. He turned to his father and gave him a malicious grin, promising pain.
"Now… who's ready to have fun?" he cackled madly and swung at his father.
Back at the dining room, all the occupants there heard a blood-curdling scream.
Soul.
So… that escalated fast. Hahaha… Eh… I'm going in hiatus for a couple of days… but before that, I'll upload one more chapter of this. Oh, and for those reading my other story, Soul's Doom, next chapter will be updated with this story's next chapter, maybe in a couple of days. And I'll become busy since I'm going to start studying in a prestigious school in my area… Wish me luck then!
P.S - please reread this since the entire story had been rewritten.
