A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and sound body.

Soul waited for Maka in their next class, the weapon Transition class and when the boy did arrive, she turned away. This only seemed to make Maka more heartbroken.

" Alright students, we will pick up where we left off. But before we do I have an announcement. There will be a progress test on Friday! To see how well we are. This determines whether you'll be in the EAT classes or the NOT classes! Train well! You may begin."

" Soul I said I was-"

" Concentrating!" She interrupted with her eyes closed.

Maka exhaled at her stubbornness to ignore him but did well to be quiet. It was a few long seconds when he opened his eyes when the blinding light flashed and held out his hand at the spinning scythe and took hold of it firmly. He smiled a little. She was now able to turn into a scythe without having to go through all that hard trouble like yesterday. Right now, since they were a bit ahead decided to start on his fighting moves.

" Professer Sid." Sid turned away from his conversation with Miya. " Yes Mr. Albarn?"

" Um...I want to learn how to fight! I-If it's okay with you." Sid gave an approving smile and turned to his partner.

" Mira."

" Right." The woman turned into a knife and Sid grabbed hold of it." Class I'll be back! Continue on your work!"

: Soul Resonance :

Maka swallowed as they got on the field. Some kids in the hall even stopped to look out through the window to see this.

This isn't what I wanted! I-I just wanted learn some basic moves but to fight a three-star meister! Oh brother...

" Alright Maka. All you have to do is be on defense. After that we'll switch. And soon, you'll be fighting just like you father."

Maka nodded. This must've been the same back when his father and mother first practice. It probably wasn't that hard for them if they managed to excel so fast. So if they did it at his age with no problem, then he should be able to pass this test in a breeze. Just relax and breathe deep, right? If that was so, he will not let down his father's pride!

: Enter The New Meister And... Weapons? :

...

" Papa!"

" Yes my dear?" Lord Death turned away from his screen from watching one of his EAT students fight a Kishin.

" I'm going to find weapons to train with. That way when I take your position I'll have my own death weapons to fight with."

" Ne ne are you sure don't want to train with a scythe? It's pretty cool..." The daughter of Lord Death glared. Despite her father's and the Death scythe's tactics to get he to work with one weapon, like a blazer, a chainsaw.

" You know how I am father. I prefer symmetrical items. Like TWO weapons. TWO rings. The number 8. But... I was born with such hideous things. Th-three stripes..." Lord Death sweated when his offspring fell to the floor while muttering:

" I'm a disgusting pig. Worthless. Damn. I'm so sad. I want to die..."

" Alright alright! Kid, just come back with what you prefer. You really need to find some soon anyways."

Kid switched moods and was instantly determined.

" I won't let you down papa!"

..

" Oi Oi. Give us your money ya little twerp." The old man whimpered a the gun point before dropping his belongings before running with a yell.

" Hey Pat. Look what he left us. I bet we can buy some cigs and beers with this." A tall figure said with a lopsided smirk.

" Hehe." The weapon transformed back into a human, slightly shorter than the other. " Then what are we waiting for?"

" Hey! Freeze!"

...

Kid hummed to herself while looking around the plaza. Geez. All these people look useless. Probably because they aren't weapons. But even if she found one, she had to find a second as the same weapon. Ch. Curse Symmetry's beauty of art. However, a sudden sound of a gunshot being heard drew her attention.

...

The tall man laughed maniacal as he shot the reinforcement down. It was so fun to have all this power. Not a damn human can stop them. Sweet sweet power...

* Tap *

The man frowned and turned his head towards the source of the noise and found a girl staring them down. He gave a smirk and slowly walked down the distance to the other, who didn't flinch or even move a muscle. So this person wanted to act tough?

" The hell do you want?" He asked while pinning her against the wall. Kid remained quiet while looking up with no change of expression which annoyed the other. She had just witnessed two males switching into guns. Two males, and two guns...

" Hey I'm talking to you! Need me to beat some sense into ya!?" The man taunted while aiming the gun at the girl's forehead.

" Please..." The man frowned.

" Please what?"

" Please... Be my weapons!" Kid shouted with stars for eyes, causing the other to comically fall. The hell!? The gun in the man's hand turned into a human and both boys were staring at her.

" Hey hey is she alright?"

" Obviously not. However..." The man thought about the option. If he and Pat partnered up with this supposedly rich person, judging by her appereance, then could have all the money they wanted. To live in a mansion full of maids for their services and chefs to cook all the food they could ever imagine...

The man smirked.

" What's your name?" Kid proudly pointed to herself.

" My name is Death The Kid, daughter of the academy owned by my father."

" Is that right? Then you must get quite an allowance."

" Oh yes definitely. What about you two?" The two boys smirked at each other before facing her again.

" I'm Liz, and this is Pat, my younger brother. And sure, we'll be your weapons. One condition though. You're gonna need to open up some guest rooms." Kid smiled.

" Can do. And I also have a condition." Eyebrows were raised.

" And what is that?"

" You must change out of those hideous things. I have a much more suitable outfit for you two." She said while squaring her index and thumbs to picture the clothes on them. Despite their confusion they agreed and the three set off. When the shinigami was leading now, she smirked. So, those boy's think they can take advantage of her home style. Well, they ought to think again. They had better know their place...

" Wh-what the..." Liz confusedly watched the girl plummet to the ground. They had made it to her house, mansion actually, and not only had they entered the door when she collapsed down with a dark aura.

" I-I could have sworn... Two centimeters off... Damn. I'm so sad. I want to die." At first the two were looking at her with sweat marks until Pat let out a sound. The elder looked at his brother, who was struggling to keep a straight face. Then finally, he burst out laughing. Kid continued to morn at the picutre frame. It was... Actually kind of funny. Liz couldn't help but smile as his brother laughed as though he hadn't in years. It has been a while since they truly laughed. What with all the thug life and escaping from the cops all the time.

He sighed as Kid continued to cry at the unsymmetrical frame. Their meister is going to be a bit of a pain in the ass from what he can see. But all in truth, he could tell their future's are in for a major switch.

" Tsubaki!"

" Y-Yes Black Star?"

" Let's skip class. I wanna train some more." The boy fell to the ground as the Bluenette got up from her seat.

" N-no we can't. This lesson is important for resonating our souls an-"

" Sensei! I have to go to the nurse! Bad stomach ache!" Tsubaki groaned but reported he had a headache to follow his partner. Black Star, is a bit of a trouble maker. Breaks things, runs into walls, ect. He didn't know what he had gotten into when they partnered up. He was hoping that they don't get suspended, or expelled from school at this rate. Heaven knows what his parents would do if that happened.

" Black Star you do realize that we could get in serious trouble if we're caught."

" No we won't. They can't expell me." Tsubaki raised his eyebrows.

" Wh-why?" He could have he saw a flicker of emotion in the other's eyes.

" ...They just can't. Now hurry up and change!" The male frowned but complied to his meister's command. She was definitely hiding something, but he didn't know what it could possibly be. He didn't think Black Star was the type to keep secrets, usually yelling blunt nonsense.

" Yes sir..."

But what could Black Star possibly hide from him?

...

: Soul Eater :

...

Maka silently hid behind a bush and every so often, tiptoed across the field and made it to the Girl's Dorm Building where his partner, Soul, stayed. Once school had ended, Soul had already left the class after the training session before he could even apologize about earlier. It broke his heart to see the girl run away, or not even look at him. He admittted to himself for being stupid, but how was he going to make up to her if he can't get time to talk to Soul?

He didn't know what was possessing him to break a school rule like this, but it felt right to do this. The poor girl is probably having to share a room with strangers. Or even worse, people that teased or bullied her.

He didn't know but he was going to find out. Luckily, he had spotted the room number on Soul's schedule unnintedingly.

...

Maka opened the entrance door and gasped and ducked under a table when three giggly girls walked by in their sleeping attire and into the kitchen. He sat up and suddenly, heard them speak.

" Oh, well look who it is?" One girl asked teasingly.

" M-may I help you?" Maka's eyes widened. It was Soul!

" No, but maybe you could help us by getting out of here."

" Um...okay." Maka heard steps but it seemed like the girl's didn't stop their vicious taunts.

" I don't even know why a freak like you is in this school! Lord Death must've pitted that poor thing. God only knows how you even managed to find a meister that doesn't throw up every time they see you."

Maka clenched his fist tightly. Is this what she had to go through everyday? To suffer the torments of these people!?

He hid under the table again and watched his partner walk slowly with her head down.

" Soul..." He unknowingly whispered. Once she was out of sight, he followed the girl's steps and soon found himself at Soul's room. He swallowed and knocked on the door quietly, hoping for Soul to anser, in which, she did.

" What are you-!?" Soul't mouth was covered and Maka stepped in before anyone else could hear them.

" M-Maka what are you doing here!?"

" Sh! I had to come see you." Maka said, staring at thos bloodshot eyes, a clear evidence of crying.

" B-but why?"

Maka grabbed Soul's hand and walked her over to the bed to sit down on, gesturing for Soul to do the same.

" Soul, why didn't you tell me about this? I-I could've...helped you."

" Even if you did, I can't fix this. It's fine, I'll just have to endure this somehow- wait. H-how did you know about all this?"

Maka blushed and looked away, trying not to look guilty.

" I-I heard it... from a friend..." Soul looked unconvinced though pushed it aside.

" Why are you so worried about me?" She asked. Maka gulped. He should of thought about this throughly instead of just turning up and expecting some crying from Soul.

" Well, I-I have to be sure you are ready for tomorrow!"

" Sh!"

" Oh right."

Soul looked away. She knew this was all a lie. What did Maka really want from her.

" Maka..."

" I'm sorry." Soul frowned and looked up at the boy, who was staring back at her with a sincere expression.

" What do you mean?"

" I mean about earlier... I didn't mean what I said. Of course I want to have you as a weapon. To make you a stronger weapon, better than anyone else. I'm sorry if it came out wrong." The weapon stared at the weapon for some time before softly smiling, and it made the boy's chest lighten.

" It's alright. I'm sorry as well for causing you any trouble." The two grinned as their cheeks hazed pink. They had gone threw their first fight and managed to surpass it, gaining a better understanding of each other. Though this is the first, the duo hoped it would be their last.

" Comelivewithme!" As soon as Maka had said that, he slammed both hands on his mouth as Soul whipped her head fast towards the boy.

What did he just say?

" Wh-what?" Maka bit his bottom lip with pink tainted cheeks. How is Soul going to react if he asked again? Rejection? Acceptation? He wanted help her get out of this living situation. Soul should be treated better, what had she done to those girls anyways?

" I...I-I said...do you um...w-want to just well...you know-l-live with...me?" Maka repeated quietly. After getting the slightly clear answer from the boy, Soul had to think now. She was just offered a place with Maka. Now what? Should she go live in a nice quiet apartment with her partner, or stay here and deal with a part of her miserable life? Her savings would be wasted on renting a dorm, but the idea of living with her meister...

" Maka I-"

" It's fine really. I-I was just tired and all. I gotta go anyways so-"

" Maka! *sigh* My answer is...yes. I'd like that, a lot."

The male blinked before sighing deeply, causing the other to laugh. He had been so worried for nothing in the end. Now that she agreed, they could be room mates. Eating together, watching t.v. together, sleeping together... He couldn't help but blush.

This time, the feeling of butterflies in his stomach actually felt nice for once...
