Chapter 6: Let's Find My Future Partner!
"Excuse me?" the girl asked.
"Well I mean I'm a total stranger, you're a totally stranger so why not dance like everyone else." I explained. She thought for a moment and nodded a response.
"Sure." She said, "But I'm not that great of a dancer."
"Honey, you're not the only one." I said. "See the blue spiky haired kid?" I pointed at Blackstar who was not too far away from us, with a girl who was giggling at him because he kept tripping on his clothes. What a dumbass.
"Ok you have a point." The girl said and held out her hand. I took in into mine and lead her to the dance floor. "I'm Lulu by the way."
"Call me Dagger." I sat my hands on her waist and hers on my shoulders and we slowly moved to the tempo of the music.
"I know. I'm pretty sure everyone knows who are since you just performed like five minutes ago." Lulu said.
"I guess you're right, I'm a celebrity now!" I said with a mocking smile.
"Yeah, but don't let that go to your head." Lulu said smirking.
"I'll make a note of that." I said back.
Lulu seemed like a nice girl. We continue the conversation while dancing. We both found out that we're new to the school; Lulu just came a few days before me. We got along really fast. It almost seemed like we were in sync with each other. We became more comfortable and moved faster, twirling and having fun. Then suddenly I felt a spark. Not like one from excitement or anything like that. Like something inside me just woke for the first time. Lulu must have felt it; we broke from each other grasps and stared at each other with awe. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to face Soul.
"Soul!" I said surprised, but I quickly turned around and Lulu was gone. "What the fuck? Where'd she go?" I muttered.
"What?" Soul asked.
"Ah nothing." I said.
"Ok well, Lord Death want s to know if you'll get back to performing." Soul informed me.
"Oh, sure." I said and followed Soul back to the stage.
When I got back up I took a quick scan of the crowd looking for Lulu. I couldn't see in the sea of faces. I need to find her again. I don't know what happen but I need answers. What if what I felt was possibly a sign that Lulu and I were partners? Or was it something bad. I need to find her and get some answers, but first I need to continue my performance. I took a deep breath and signal the band to start.
~ Time skip to the next morning~
It was now Monday morning but there was no school due to the ball last night. I slowly went over the events of last night in my head for thousandth time. Performing in front of the whole DWMA, slow dancing with Soul, meeting Lulu, feeling that 'spark' and afterwards hanging with the others at Soul and Maka's place. Man that Blair chick is crazy. Oh yeah, I met a girl named Blair who turns out to be a cat with magical powers and how Maka and Soul mistaken her for a witch and try to collect her Soul, only to realize their mistake and had to recollect all the souls they lost.
I need to find Lulu. I have to know what that 'spark' was! It's not like I have romantic feeling for her, if that's what you're thinking, I still find Soul attractive. Oh how I would I love to be alone with him and to… No! Stop! No girly fantasying over Soul, not now. I need to focus on finding Lulu. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my door. Grunting, I moved toward the door and glace at the time, it was fucking 8:30, who the hell could be at my door this fucking early? I peeked out of the peep hole, Soul, Maka and the others were on the opposite side of the door. I sighed softly and open the door with a fake ass smile.
"It's 8:30 in the morning." I annoyed but still with a fake smile.
"And?" Soul asked.
"8 fucking 30 in the morning."
"So what we all wake earlier than that!"
That was true. But I actually hoping to sleep longer than this, after all there was no school today.
"What do you guys want?" I asked with a sigh.
"Well good morning to you too." Blackstar said whiling pushing me aside trying to enter my home.
I grabbed his shirt collar, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"Um going inside." He said as it was obvious. I rolled my eyes.
"As if I would let you in my house!" I threw him back into the hallway.
"We've came to see if you want to hangout." Maka said.
"I guess, but first I'll need to get dress." I said, "Though I was hoping to stay in my PJs all day" I muttered that last part.
I lead everyone in my apartment and went to my room. I while I was getting dress my mind couldn't let go of Lulu. I need to find her. I add the last touch of my makeup and exit my bedroom. Everyone had found a spot to sit in my living, except Kid who was messing with everything in sight.
"Kid!" I yelled at, "Would you please just sit the fuck down! Or do I have to tie you the fuck down to the fucking coach!"
"This apartment is completely unsymmetrical! Look at this!" he barked back and gestured to the entire room, "You have only three armchairs and two are on one side of the room, your TV isn't in the exact center of the wall, you have but one lamp, and don't get me staring on the paintings!"
"Oh what's wrong with the paintings?" I asked annoyed beyond hell.
"All of them are complete unsymmetrical garbage! Truly hideous!"
"I made all of those you know, you OCD bitch!" I growled.
That crossed the line. I take great pride when it came to my art. In fact I love making art more than music. Though music is still a huge factor in my life. Kid's eyes than widen receiving this new information. I was extremely pissed at this point.
"Get! Out!" I braked at him.
"What?"
"I said get the fuck out of my apartment! I will not repeat myself."
He just stood there dumbfound. This is going to get ugly. I transformed my arm into my blade and slowly approached him. He didn't even flinch. I brought my blade to his neck, Patty and Liz stood in protest but Kid stopped them with his hand raised.
"I'm truly sorry for my outburst." He said completely calm, "I'll be taking my leave now. Liz, Patty, stay if you want I'll be home for your return." And he left my apartment.
I brought my hand back to normal and made my way to the kitchen to grab some snacks. I walked back into the living room and made myself comfortable on my coach. The tension in the room still hung in the air. No one made a noise or dare to.
"I'm sorry you guys say that side of me." I said breaking the silence.
"No! It's ok." Tsubaki said.
"Yeah! It's totally understandable to react when someone criticizes your art." Maka said too.
"Yeah don't listen to Kid. These paintings are amazing!" Soul said looking at the paintings once more, "I was wondering where you got them."
"Thanks." I said, "Look I'm really stressed about something. And I was ready to snap, Kid just happen be the victim."
"What's wrong?" Liz asked concerned.
I took a deep breath," When Lord Death told us to dance with someone we didn't know, I met a girl named Lulu and something happened."
"What? Did you kiss?" Blackstar asked with a smirk.
"No you fucking bastard," I said, "I'm straight. No, what happened was that I felt something. I can't exactly describe it but it was almost like a spark. Like inside me just woke up."
Soul, Maka, Liz, Patty and Blackstar all shared a look.
"What?" I asked.
"Dagger this may be a stretch but," Maka said, "This girl, Lulu may just be your partner!"
"You didn't think I thought of that!" I said. "I need to find her to know if it's true or not."
"Ok well do you know anything about her?" Liz asked.
"All I know is her name is Lulu." I answered.
"Well that doesn't help much." Liz said.
"I know!" I barked.
"Ok, chill. Jeez." Liz said raising her hands in defense.
"Sorry, I just need to find her." I said.
"Well we could get some help from the other students." Tsubaki suggested, "Maybe someone else knows her."
"That's actually a pretty good idea." I said, "So who would we ask?"
Everyone sat in silence to think. I didn't know anyone beside these guys. And of course Lulu.
"GAHH! I can't think!" Blackstar shouted and stood on his hands and count as he did push-ups.
"Blackstar please, you need to calm down." Tsubaki said concerned. Blackstar then stopped in his tracks, looked at Tsubaki and sighed. He then sat back down on the floor, perfectly calm. I can see now why they're partners.
"Hey maybe Kid could help." Patty said excitedly.
"I don't know." I said.
"No Patty's right, Kid could help. He is Lord Death's son and he could get his hands on the information we need to find this Lulu chick." Liz said. Damn it logic! Why must they be right?
"You seriously think he'll help after what just happen?" I asked gesturing to the door.
"He just might. All you have to do is ask." Patty said with a smile.
"Or you two could ask for me?" I asked, "Please?"
"Fine. We'll ask for you." Liz said.
I jumped from my seat and grabbed Patty and Liz into a huge bear hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Yeah we'll make sure he gets Lulu's school schedule, that way we'll be able to track her down." Liz said.
"But what if he won't do it?" I asked.
"Then I'll have a little chat with him." Soul said with a confident smirk.
I smiled at him in return. "Ok then. Let's find my future partner!"
