(Kid)

We ate at the food court and the girls talked about stuff while I sat there awkwardly.

"So do you shop at Victoria's secret?"

Liz asked Kami.

"Um no whats that?"

She asked.

"Oh lord not this again."

I said under my breath.

"Oh its this underwear shop and it sells like bras and stuff and some of the things they sell are really cute."

Liz said and I pretty much tuned out there.

I then wondered why I even stayed with them in the first place so then I just got up.

"Hey where are you going?"

Patty pouted.

"Restoom ill be back."

I lied and walked away.

"Restroom is that way!"

Patty yelled but i didnt pay attention since I lied anyways.

I walked around for a while to clear my thoughts.

I didnt understand why Father had already made plans for the next battle when there wasnt even a Kishin to battle at least thats what I hoped, What worried me the most was that Father had already incorperated the new witches in the plan even when we werent sure if they could be trusted or not I mean not that I didnt trust Kami and Penny but for some reason Ive sensed their souls somewhere before or maybe ive sensed something simillar.

I stepped outside for a while then I saw a familliar face.

"Kid what are you doing here?"

Stein asked me as he smoked.

"The girls wanted to go shopping."

I shrugged.

"Why are you here?"

I asked.

"Marie's birthday is coming up so I got her something to celebrate."

He said.

"Ah yes you two are a wonderful married couple."

I said.

"Yeah, Want one?"

Stein asked while holding a cigarette to me.

"What the hell."

I shrugged, I took it reluctantly but in the end I knew it wouldnt affect me since I was a shinigami and chemicals as such didnt affect my body.

"Lighter?"

Stein asked while holding out the lighter.

"Nah i've got a neat trick."

I smirked then snapped my fingers and a small black flame started in the palm of my hand and I lit the cigarette.

"Cool, Dont tell your dad okay?"

Stein laughed.

"Yeah sure same here."

I nodded.

Smoking wasnt any different that breathing regular air for me so it really did no good but whatever I just wanted to clear my head.

"Stein do you know why Father has plans for the witches and why he has each of them carrying special pages from the book of eibon?"

I asked blunly because the only witches that didnt have a page was Kami and Penny.

"I suppose to keep them safe. I hear each of them has to study the page and uncover the secret incantaion on them, But you know I could be wrong."

He shrugged.

"Kami and Penny are the only ones without a page why?"

I asked.

"Who knows maybe he hasnt given them one yet or something."

Stein shrugged.

"That doesnt make sense."

I mumbled.

"Is there another Kishin?"

I asked.

"I don't know if im supposed to tell you this but...Yes there is a chance that another Kishin could be born but for now its a

Pre-Kishin soul that we sensed very close to the school the other day before we got all eight witches."

Stein said.

"Oh."

I said exhaling a puff of smoke.

"Could it be the Pre-Kishin is targeting the school?"

I asked.

"Actually it seemed as though it was looking for someone..."

Stein said.
