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

"It's all over Lupin." A young lady's voice spoke out. The man named Lupin skidded back against the dead-end with a money bag clutched tightly in his gloved, bony fingers. A lean figure stepped up, holding guns in quite a wierd manner, before suddenly tossing them up.

The guns began to glow and transform into two tall figures, who each stood behind the girl. The three then positioned themselves in dramatic poses while shouting:

"Phantom Theif Lupin! We are here to take your soul!"

*Dadum!*

"Grr... Pat!," Said male jolted from hearing his name, "You are a bit off your mark here! Pay attention already!"

"Wah! Sorry ma'am." The boy named Pat hopped all the way off his mark from the sudden uproar and sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, while the other male sighed. Here they are about to capture a soul and their meister is complaining about their positions. Is this really what he signed up for?

"Hey Kiddo, is this really the time to-?"

"Yes Eliz! You know everything I want needs to be perfect no matter what!"

"Wah ha ha! The theif is running away!"

"Be quiet Pat!", Said male flinched, "Now where was I..?" Liz mentally groaned as the smaller female began to clear her throat, and he readied himself for the long speech to come. "I clearly state that my art is symmetrical, symmetry is the ultimate beauty! That is why I chose you two in the first place, because I can use a gun in each hand. An even number always completes one's image..."

Liz noticed her pause and frowned.

"What's the matter now?"

"In your human forms... your hair and height sizes are different. Ngh. How utterly disappointing-"

"Che, look who's talking, stuck-up brat! You have three stripes on one side of your hair and you're always on our damn cases! You call that a valid case for 'symmetry', huh!?" Liz argued back. He seethed at the girl, but sweated when she fell down on her hands and knees.

"Ooooh, you're right! How could I have been so stupid!? I'm so sad! I want to die..."

Liz sighed as his brother laughed maniacally before kneeling down beside the moping shinigami. He hated it when their meister cried over useless situations and felt that Kid was a bit too hung up on perfection.

"*sigh* I'm sorry alright. Stop cryin', you look stupid doing that." Kid looked up with shimmering eyes as tears fell.

"So you don't think I'm a worthless piece of garbage?" Liz felt his face warm up and quickly looked away with a very annoyed look.

"Nah, of course not." He said and Kid was back on her feet in no time.

"Well then! Don't want to keep father waiting, do I?" The man sweated at the sudden mood change but did not comment when she summoned her father as a hologram. He and Pat stood behind their meister as they all stared up at Lord Death. Liz had wondered how a Death God managed to have a child and he has been meaning to ask Kid but he thought it would be a bit rude to ask how her father got her.

"Well hello Kiddo! Still as cute as ever!"

" Don't call me tha-"

"And those wittle stripes in your head are as adorable as ever!" While Liz and and Pat made Xs with their arms in warning, Kid used a small, pleased smile to actually hide her raging fury.

"Ahem, unfortunately we were unable to capture this soul that you had informed us about."

"That's strange. Then again, I've already heard worse," He added, automatically thinking about a certain assassin, "If that's the case, I have another task if you're up for it." Kid nodded for her father to continue and Liz groaned, not wanting to do another mission.

"There's a nice ancient pyramid called Anubis in the desert of Egypt. You can pin-point it's location with your soul perception by concentrating on a necromancer witch that happens to be there collecting mummies. It's actually starting to get a little annoying with the constant marches of her mummy army causing painful conflicts among the country's people. I am hoping that you will be able to capture her's and the mummies' souls."

Liz's eyes widened. "Come on old man, there has to be at least a hundred mummies there. And to capture a wtiche's soul when we are only one-stars..." He ignored the glare he got from Kid and Lord Death chuckled.

"Since Kid considers you two to be her potential death weapons, she'll need twice the amount of souls and two witches in order to achieve that goal."

"There's no way-!"

"-That we would pass up on an opportunity like this!" Kid cut in, ignoring the glare she got from Liz. "Oh, the pyramid Anubis sounds simply fascinating... Alright then, let's go you two."

...

: The Pyramid of Anubis! Defeat the Witch... and Perfection? :

...

"Ugh... As beautiful as Egypt is, I could do without the dust constantly hurling in my face." Kid complained as she dabbed her teary eyes. Liz muttered "spoiled brat" under his breath and looked at the large pyramid they were supposed to enter.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"Wah ha ha... Creepy..." Pat said with a lop-sided grin and walked ahead with his brother. Kid stalked after them while putting her handkerchief away.

"Well I'm already enjoying this so far. Would you just look at how perfect these candles are placed?" She admired while gazing at either side of the symmetrical walls. Liz rolled his eyes and hunched his back. Oh how he hated her.

"We're going down a dark corridor and all you can think of is how they built this stupid thing?" He growled as Pat began humming under his breath.

"I..." Liz turned around when Kid stopped walking.

"What is it?"

"I... Oh, you'll think this is ridiculous but..." Kid looked up in thought,"Do you, by any chance, remember me folding the end of the toilet paper into a triangle earlier?"

"Why the heck would I know!? And it is ridiculous!" The man screamed and the shinigami whimpered while clutching her head.

"Ooooh... I think I did but... what if I did forget? I can't take it! I have to go check-"

"Oh no you don't! Get over here." Liz grabbed the girl's arm and began dragging her so they could catch up with Pat. He ignored the girl's begging and whimpering and frowned when they came across a mummy with a smiling mask.

"Pipipi." He frowned and Pat mimicked the mummy's laugh.

"The hell?" A mummy came up to him and laughed, causing him to grudgingly smile.

"They don't seem so scary after all. I guess there was nothing to worry about-"

"YAAAAAH!" The mummy screamed while cracking out a slippery tongue. Liz gave an involuntary shiver from the undead fiend and jumped before his head could be eaten. He sweated when Pat when cornered by three of the monsters and a tick formed in his forehead.

"Creepy as demons trying to get a peice of me, huh? Now I'm really pissed off! Alright Kid-" He stared silently at the empty space that had previously been occupied by his meister and a little note flew serenely to the ground.

Dear Pat and Eliz,

I could not hold back anymore and immediately set off to make sure I had done the important deed. I'll be back in a little while so be careful while I'm out. Yours sincerely,

Lady Death

"That fucking trollop! I'll kill her! Pat!"

"Aha, yes sir." The younger male switched into his gun form and flew into his brother's hand, who immediately set off to shooting several mummies in sight out of anger. The mummies' face blew off harshly, as well as arms and parts of their torsos. Liz growled as he continued to shoot as if there was no tomorrow until he noticed one of the fiends sneaking up behind him. His heart raced, seeing as he would not be fast enough to kill the particular one.

"Yaaaaaaah!" Just as it dived towards him with his mouth stretching out horribly with saliva dripping everywhere, Liz jumped back while glowing.

"Pat!"

"Gotcha!"

Tag-teaming, Pat was now holding his brother, who was now in his gun form and used his quicker reflexes to obliterate the sneaking the mummy. Two more were harshly erased from existence until silence finally met them in the empty corridor.

Liz came out of his weapon form and stared at the handful of kishin souls floating aimlessly in front of them and huffed.

"Whew. Hey make sure you take half since Kid would just become even more baggy if we don't split evenly."

"Yes sir." Liz shoved his hands in his pockets while becoming even more weary of the pyramid. He knew that the racket they made demolishing the mummies must have attracted the witch. Why she had not come out yet is a mystery. After they took turns collecting the souls, the twins set off together to the chamber door at the end of the hall.

Unknowingly, Liz felt his heart race and thump faster at what he and his brother could possibly face. Would they be able to do this mission without Kid? Would this mean that they no longer need her as a meister since he and Pat have each other?

"Stupid Kid... abandoning us at this time."

"Wah ha ha... girls..."

*SLAM!*

...

"Ah... So it really was my silly imagination." Kid dazed while examining the whole house instead of just the toilet paper.

In half an hour, she was finally back inside the chilly pyramid and sighed while rubbing her arms wearily.

"Maybe I shouldn't have left so early. I would have preferred one of them with me... Liz! Pat!" She called out once more but only recieved an eerie silence. Kid sighed in defeat while breathing in the cold atmosphere. Where could they have gone? They could not have turned tail and run away.

Liz is nothing like that after all. And especially Pat too.

As for her...

"Hmp! I've faced worse than them anyway." She defended herself quietly, "You two had better be here! Or I'll- uh?"

A ball with the face of a puppy and ears bounced toward her while sticking out its tongue in a cute manner. Kid froze in her spot and gasped while picking up the ball.

"Uwaaah! You're so adorable! And look how perfect you are! Ooooh! I'll keep you forever and- wait a second." Kid added under her breath whole furrowing her brows and examine the dog-like ball.

There is three eyelashes on the left eye. But on the right it has four eyelashes.

Three.

Four.

Three.

Four.

Three.

Four.

Three.

Four.

"You disgust me!" Kid screamed as she slammed her foot hard into the adorable creature, sending it flying across the corridor while bouncing off the walls and ground in process. The Lady Death then marched off in a pompous manner while sticking her chin up, silently fuming at how she almost worshipped such a thing.

She stalked past the dog-like creature, which ended up not looking so cute now.

Kid came across a door and blinked when she sensed her partners' wavelengths, as well as another presence. She kicked open the door and blinked when she was met with wrappings darting toward her. Instantly, she summoned her skateboard and whipped it in order to cut off all the material.

"Kid!" Said female turned her head sharply to see her partners dodging yet, another set of wrappings the came from a tomb. Instead of saving them, as Liz and Pat had expected, she put a hand on her hip while holding her skateboard upright from the ground.

"Where have you two been!? I kept calling for you two but you didn't answer, and here you are messing around!" She yelled while her weapons continued trying to save theirselves.

"We weren't messing around ya trollop! You're the one who abandoned us in the first place!" Liz screamed back with a scowl as he ducked from another attack.

"Don't you call me a trollop!"

"Okay then, how about tart!?"

"I'll kill you! Pat!"

"Yes ma'am." Pat gladly changed into his weapon from and flew into his meister's shaky, outstretched hand. This made Liz sweat at how he was suddenly ganged up on, even worse when Kid is momentarily forgetting that she only has one gun.

"W-Wait a minute! What the hell is with you guys!?"

"Wah ha ha... sorry bro..." Pat's mechanical voice echoed. Kid was too busy trying to shoot her other weapon, who kept dodging the glowing bullets while breaking sweat.

"How dare you call me those foul things-!"

"Wrath of the pharaoh-"

"Oh shut up!" Kid screamed, not taking her eyes off of Liz as she swiftly shot the large mummy into an oblivion within ten bullets. Before she could take her anger out on Liz again, the whole pyramid began rumbling, the ceiling slowly disintegrating. The man noticed that a particularly large peice was about to fall on his meister and dived forward to pull her out of harm's way while ignoring her outburst.

Within minutes, Anubis was demolished and came down in a loud, crashing heap. Dust and smoke flew outwards from the force of the large pyramid's fate and from a distance, Egyptians could hear the faint crash of the famous pyramid. Then, it was silent...

Dust, smoke, and sand lofted around in the quiet air before the sound of tumbling bricks and coughing could be heard. Liz, Kid, and Pat had managed come out of the mess alive with few scratches and in minutes, they were able to free themselves.

"Hah... Wait to go Kid." Liz growled while sitting on the ground and rubbing the side of his aching head. His meister crossed her arms and looked away, still fuming that she was called such offensive terms. Pat slowly stood up hunching and let out a breath of air and Liz followed the suit.

"Hey, trollop."

"Don't call me that!" She snapped while showing her back toward the man. Pat looked up at his brother, who thought for a minute, before smirking.

"Why not?"

"Che... You know why." Kid said, not believing that Liz thought that the nick-name was hilarious instead of insulting. Before she could walk off and complain about inhaling the dust, two long arms encircled her torso.

"Aaw, am I hurting Lady Death's feelings?" The man teased and Pat laughed as their meister blushed heavily.

"Wh-Wha the- I am not hurt!" She emphasised while moving out of the embrace and marched forward a bit too quick. "Honestly, it's a wonder how I ended up with you two. Wait until I tell father about this..."

...

"For destroying the pyramid of Anubis, I will be confiscating all the souls you have collecting." Lord Death summarized to the three.

Kid unsurprisingly collapsed to the ground.

"Uuugh... Damn! I'm so sad... I want to die!"

"Ahem, so how about another mission-?"

"No!"
