Putting focus back to our amazing fluffy captain.

The fire sparked and cracked as it burned the dry wood that was just fed into it. It illuminated their small camp and gave them a bit of security. Sajin and his son were partnered up with Momo and Shuhei for tonight's special mission, being a Witch hunt. The young woman stuck a marshmallow on the end of a stick and began roasting it. Roy smiled as he stared up at the grinning moon. He always loved the combination of smoke from a fire and the crazed look on the moon.
"Can you believe that Tatsuki is just one step away from creating two Death Scythes?" Momo asked everyone, hoping to get a conversation going. Shuhei looked over at his meister.
"She works hard to get where she is, I had no doubt that she would."
"I'm jealous of Draco and Bowser." The fox smiled with a chuckle. The wolf closed his eyes in thought.
"It would be a short lived title once we take on that status." Roy wondered how hard he would fight just to make sure he becomes a Death Scythe. Just by his words, people could tell how determine Sajin is to obtain the title of Three-Star Meister, as well as making his weapon a Death Scythe.
"You guys have a lot of work to do if you want to catch up." The Ballistic Knife added. The two weapons stared each other down, but only one wore an unshakeable smile. Shuhei kept a stoic face, the flicker of the fire being the only change in his face.
"Staring contests aside, who'll get the Witch's soul?" Roy asked, trying to fill the silence. Though it was more of camp silence, still having the ambient cricket chirps, crackling fire, and Momo's humming.
"Whoever does the killing blow gets the soul, same applies to kishin eggs and for all students and staff of the academy, it's like an unwritten rule." The same raven haired man replied, explaining the common knowledge of the DWMA to the newcomers. The wolf and his son nodded before watching the fire mysteriously die out. The flash of the weapons shifting forms helped shed a bit of light for a moment, but the young woman was trying her best to find her target in the night. On the other end, both Roy and Sajin could see perfectly well, having natural nighttime vision. But even their eyes couldn't find the cause of their light source diminishing.
The wolf inhaled the scent in the air, finding no particularly strange scents. Only that of his fox weapon, and the human meister and weapon.
"Miss Hinamori, Hisagi, I can't catch any trace of the witch." He alerted his partners. The young woman remembered her studies.
"It's probably using Soul Protect, hiding as a regular human." Her last word stayed within his mind. 'Human...' Sajin took in another breath of air, trying his best to distinguish the smells of his comrades and which didn't belong. 'Honey and Tea, definitely Miss Hinamori... A bit of musk and hints of Tea, Hisagi... Found it.'
Taking up the gun blade and resting it on his wrist to steady his aim, Sajin fired up into a tree a couple feet away from there fire. The red bullet disappeared in the foliage and a loud thud was heard, following was tree branches snapping and one more thud. Following the noise of the ungraceful and possibly painful landing, Sajin readied himself for the battle. He looked at the figure, cloaked head to toe in a blue robe, though around the face was a white cloth bounded down by a belt, keeping everything under the bridge of the nose hidden by the cloth. Just from the outfit alone, he could tell that it was a witch.
"My name is Sajin Komamura, we are here to reap your soul, witch." The wolf barked at him before firing a shot at his skull. Just as the bullet was about to make contact with it, a strange glowing hexagonal symbol shielded the blow. The witch hastily got to it's feet and showed it's short stature.
"A meister and a weapon huh?" The voice was high, but deep enough to confirm it was a male witch. Sajin rested Roy over his shoulder, showing his trademark stance. "That's just perfect, your souls will definitely feed father's hunger for power." Having let a bit of information slip out, the witch began to cover it's tracks. "Not that I was planning anything about making a new kishin!"
Sajin sighed at the stupidity of this witch, perhaps this would be an easy kill for them? Nonetheless, they had a mission to do, now was not the time to take things lightly. Expecting a sneak attack form the small witch, the wolf waited for it to make a move. Eventually getting a head tilt from him.
"Why are you glaring at me like that?" Sajin almost fell over, dangerously close to faceplanting. At that moment, Momo leaped in and pinned the small witch against the tree.
"We're here to reap your soul, don't try and fight it." After realizing the danger of this moment, the witch's yellow eyes narrowed.
"Guess I can have a little fun now. My name's Magolor." The hexagonal symbols appeared around his wrists and fire burst out from them.
The young woman jumped back to avoid the scorching flames. Sajin brought up his weapon and fired relentlessly at Magolor. The same barrier spell blocked every shot.
"Shit, nothing's working." The fox growled, wondering what way to get through this witch's defense. The other job of a weapon is to advise their meister about battle strategies. 'Ok, so far he's blocked every single bullet dad's fired at us...' "Dad, try cutting him up."
"Alright." The wolf charged with the all his strength. Taking the moment to find the opening, Momo ran in as well. Both meisters slicing at Magolor. Instead of the usual hexagonal barrier, a star shaped symbol surrounded him, knocking them both back.
"You all are boring me, killing you won't be any fun either. Better report back to mother Drawcia." Magolor turned away from them. "Wait, forget I said anything!" He vanished into a star shape portal.
The fox couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Is Professor Ciela really involved with witches?" He wondered the possibilities. "I can't be."
The little puppy sat in Drake's lap. His chest rising slowly with every breath. The white haired man smiled as he stroked his new pet. Despite this heartwarming moment, Gizmo was passed out drunk next to him. Link got up from his spot and jumped up to the one eyed meister. The little wolf licked Gizmo's face, eliciting a groan from him.
"Hmmm... Drake, stopped it..." Said Chainsaw looked over at his meister. Did he hear him correctly?
"Kanso?" The black haired man smiled a bit as Link nuzzled into his neck. Before he could dwell more into the topic, the door was thrown opened, having their usual roommates rush in along with Momo and Shuhei. "Um, why are you guys rushing in?"
"We'll explain once Tatsuki and her weapons get here." The fox briefed and leaned against the wall. The wolf sat at the table set in the kitchen and waited patiently. Shuhei leaned against the wall with Roy. The two shared a look, disappointed about the failed mission and the shocking news.
A knocking was heard at the door. Drake got up to open the door to have the three they were waiting for to rush in.
"What's so important that we had to drop everything to come here?" Tatsuki asked, looking at all three partners. Bowser growled as he stared at the all the expressionless faces on everyone.
"First, have you noticed anything about Drawcia?" Roy began, no trace of the smile that always graced his face.
"She's a bitch, but that's it." The redhead put in his opinion.
"Well, this bitch-"
"Roy." The wolf raised his voice. His son sighed and corrected himself.
"She's associated with a witch, there I said it." A faint smile made it's way on his face, having a bit of fun from the small trouble he just caused.
"Are you sure?" Drake asked, skeptical about the info. Shuhei looked at him and nodded.
"The witch we failed to hunt down specifically said he needed to report back to 'mother Drawcia', you tell me what you think about it." The silence in the room was deafening, even Gizmo and Link were quiet, despite the black haired meister still being asleep.
"So do we tell everyone?" Draco added to fill in the silence.
"I don't know, but we got to keep an eye on her, this isn't the first time a witch has infiltrated the academy. Last time it happened, the first kishin was reborned." Momo added, serious than ever before.
"Yeah, well, that's all for today, go home." Roy sighed. The whole group nodded and left to their respective homes. Sajin walked up the stairs, leaving the fox and Drake behind. Roy was about to follow his father upstairs, but the white haired weapon grabbed his hand.
"Roy, you're our roommate, and I know kids are more trusting with this kind of stuff but-" The fox slapped him across the face.
"Out with it already." Roy showed he had the patience of a short fuse in a burning building.
"I'm in love with my meister, but he's a womanizing drunk." Drake blushed and look towards his sleeping figure.
"Don't worry about it, it's ok being content with the friendzone but always keep hope that he'll come around eventually." Having been tired out with today's physical and emotional draining events, Roy ran up the stairs. The Chainsaw felt his mind wandered to hopes of that relationship, but his thoughts were interrupted by shifting in the couch. He passed it off as his pet getting off Gizmo, but he threw that possibility away when he felt arms rest on his shoulder.
Drake turned over to find his meister staring at him with a beer blush and lustful look in his eye. (One eye, remember?)
"Kanso?!" The one eyed meister tumbled back, pulling his weapon into the couch, landing on top of him.
"I love you..." He slurred, immediately falling unconscious. Drake felt all the blood rush to his head. But thoughts also clouded his mind. 'Is it because he's drunk, or did he really mean?'
The questions were eating at him. Deciding against getting up, he found the position he was in very comfortable. Then again, being on top of the person you love is always a great place to be in. Drunk and unconscious or not.
That last bit about the friendzone reminded me of my old crush. I could care less about that guy now. Someone keeps my mind off that rejection. Well, hope ya enjoyed. And maybe a lemon chapter next...? I don't know, maybe.
