I bit my lip slightly as I feel my anxiety fill me more and more, I had to see Lord Death for some reason and I've always had anxiety around him as sweet as he is. Maybe it was his inhuman form, I don't know but he just spooky to me in a different way as much as I loved spooky things. I walked up to him with my tail tucked between my legs (That's an expression I'm not-) and my hands behind my back.

"You needed me, Lord Death?" I said, looking around. I rid my lungs of air when I drop my jaw, realizing who was here. Death the Kid, the guy I've been avoiding for the past four years. He sat in a chair near his father who was looking at me,

"Ahh there you are Life the Saint," He said, I felt my nose twitch. Feels like I just got punched in the nose, I only had the label Life the Saint because Kid convinced me into using it as my meister name since we wanted to work together so bad, it was like his name and it fit my history, and he loved it, at least when we liked each other. I now used the label Atman to let everyone know we didn't associate anymore. 

"Ahem...it's Atman sir," I cleared my throat and mumbled, feeling a bit annoyed he used Life on me. Everyone just seemed to ignore me every time I reminded them of the new label I've had since 4 years ago. 4 years of saying it and no one seems to remember. It's because they don't want to remember, I know that much and I know why. I always stick my tongue out subconsciously thinking about it, making me suck my tongue back in.

"Well... Atman, I have a very important job for you," He started, I blink and nod, letting him know I was listening. 

"Soo let's just say I may or may not have made a little mistake in something in the world of underpurgatoryandsomefilestuff *Inunerstandable mumbling* But ha.. Anyways, I need you and Kid to work together, you have to merge teams basically. You and Kid will have to go on missions together and just work like usual but together in a way," He said, I gasp and close my mouth quick and try to calm myself before I bursted out in a fit. I took a deep breath and looked up at him like he was crazy but not exactly matching the energy of my look with my voice.

"I don't think that's going to work sir, it's just I love to be independent other than my weapons, plus he's already a Shinigami so I think it would be completely useless for him to be at my side as I work to become one. I almost have 100 souls so it really isn't necessary," I told him, hoping he would forget this and I could move on with my life. Where was this even coming from? It's so sudden, I wasn't ready!

"Yeah well that's about where the mistake was made. You see, I made that soul bond between you two when you were young right? And uhh I should have broken the bond before you entered the academy but I didn't cause I just thought it wouldn't matter but I have found that since you two were still bonded but you weren't working together tampered with your soul collecting whether or not your weapons noticed. Sometimes, it would split souls in half and the other part of the soul would fade so your weapon has only been eating half of the souls you collect. Then, I split your bond hoping it would fix that problem but instead it ended up entirely splitting your souls. So since you had 80 souls...you now only have 20 souls because it split the souls in half in form and all together..." He broke a sweat explaining.




"WHAT!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??" I screamed angrily, almost dying on the spot. I felt my knees buckle and the blood stopped going to my legs as I held my entire body back from pouncing on him. I huffed and puffed, basically foaming at the mouth. Lord Death quickly shook his hands,

"Now now Atman, it's not that bad!! Listen listen, if I just bond you two back together, your soul collecting will no longer split into two so it gives you full souls again," He tried reassuring me,
