When they entered Death's chamber, they were greeted by Maka's father.
"Maka-chan, give papa a hug!" Spirit yelled. Maka sighed at her father antics. "Not now, papa, we need to talk to Lord Death about something," she said.

"What?" Spirit asked perplexed. Maka nodded towards the albino holding Stein's hand. "That kid is Soul," Maka said. Spirit busted out laughing. "No way, the brat was shrunk down to a kindergartner!" the death scythe laughed. "Please, sir, I wish you would get to know me before making such an obligation. Besides, I'm only seven years old," the little gentlemen said.

Spirit froze. "Who are you and what have you done to the brat?" he asked.

Lupin wiggled out of Stein's grip and bowed. "My name is Lupin Evans, youngest son of William and Juno Evans," the albino introduced. Spirit stared at Lupin as if he had grown two heads. "Yeah, good idea to bring him to Lord Death. Come on, shrimp," he said as he dragged the albino to where Lord Death was.

"Why, hello, everyone, what can I do for you?" Lord Death greeted in his childish voice as they entered his room. Everyone, including Spirit, pointed to Soul/Lupin. "Is that Soul?" he asked and everyone nodded. "And how did he shrink down to the age of a seven year old child?" Death asked. Dr. Stein explained today's class and Soul's performance.

When the doctor was done, Lupin cleared his throat. "Lord Death, I need to inform you of an issue," he said seriously. "And what is that, Soul?" Death asked. "Please, my Lord, call me Lupin," the Evans requested. "Ok, So-Lupin," Death replied.

"Thank you. Now the issue I wish to address is of the following..." Lupin started, but stopped by a voice in his head. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU FOOL! YOU ARE MESSING UP MY PLAN!" boomed a demonic sounding voice from within Lupin's head. "That's the point, Black!" Lupin mentally snapped. "DAMN YOU, WHITE!" Black screamed.

Outside Of Lupin's head, everyone was watching confused as the boy's eyes changed from red to blue, and back again. "Lupin?" Maka asked concerned. Lupin/Soul looked at Maka. "WhAt Is iT MaKa?" the albino asked. His voice sounded like an angel and a demon battling for control.

"Can you stop doing that and continue, please?" Maka asked. Lupin blinked his eyes and they turned back into his normal sky blue coloration. "Thanks for that, Maka," Lupin said. "Lupin, explain what just happened," Death ordered in a serious voice.

"Well, the Soul you all know is an evil soul that lives inside of this body. Think of him as a very evil split personality," Lupin explained. Kid's eyes widen, "Split Souls," he whispered. "What souls?" Black☆Star asked confused. "Split Souls. They're like a split personality, but nothing traumatic happened. It normally happens when a woman is pregnant with twins and both twins combine with each other. Or if one of them is a demon weapon and the weapon eats the other," Kid explained.

Lupin nodded, "The reason he can mask his emotions so well is because it's a little trick I picked up being part of the Evans family. And, sorry to tell you this, but Soul aims to becomes the next Kishin," he said.

"That's crazy! Soul would never do anything as nuts that!" Black☆Star argued. Lupin glared at Black☆Star, "Tell me, how much of Soul's past do you know about?" he asked in an icy voice.

Black☆Star, and everyone else looked down, excluding the grown ups and Kid. "Thought so. There is a reason that Black did not what you to know of his past. It would lead his origins to me. Lupin Evans," the seven year old explained.

"How long has Soul been in control?" Death questioned. "The day before he meet Maka," Lupin answered. "Where were you?" Death inquired. "Sealed away," Lupin answered in a flat tone. "Where?" Death continued to question as he motioned for Lupin to go on. "In a chamber underneath the Death City cemetery. Every time the fifteenth of April comes around, he must reseal me or I may break free," Lupin replied. "How do you break free?" Death asked. "When I gather enough souls of criminals, mind you, I can consume them and break the crystal I was trapped in. But, thanks to Professor Stein's de-aging potion, I was able to break free of imprisonment and return to my body," Lupin explained.
