The New Reaper

Chapter 19

Maka's POV

"Maybe he went back to the academy," Soul suggested as we re-approached Shibusen after running all around the city in frantic look for Kid.

"I don't know where else he'd go," I said slugging up the stairs, tired from running so much.

"Hello!" A girl with ginger hair said than ran past me like she didn't even care if I acknowledged her. I caught myself snickering as I turned around to see how silly she she looked in her Mitch-matched clothes.

Soul whistled at her and I elbowed him in the stomach.

"Ow!" He exclaimed.

"Im so not sorry," I started walking up the stairs again. He transformed into weapon form, wanting me to carry him. It probably goes without saying but i let him hit the stairs. "Um theres no way in hell I'm carrying you up these stairs!" I said.

When we finally got to top, we ran into Liz and Patti, who both looked exhausted. I don't think I could've ever imagined Patti tired. It was a weird sight.

"What happened," I asked.

"That girl," Liz took a breath and pointed towards the door we walked in," has SO much energy!"

Patti laughed, " she's kinda freaky!" She clapped.

Liz put a finger to her lips to tell Patti to either quiet down or not to be rude- I'm not sure which.

"Who is she?" Soul asked.

"She's a new student, her name's Kayla. She's a naturally strong meister who can't afford tuition so Lord Death has waved the admission fee and she is staying with him," Liz explained.

"Oh, no," I sighed.

"Hmm?" Soul cocked his head.

"It's just, I don't know, with the whole Cora thing and, well, having someone just show up I'm scared it'll be too much for Kid."

They all shook their heads in agreement.

"What should we do about it I mean she's already here," Liz said.

"She could stay with us," Soul said.

"I'll do anything to protect Kid's sanity," said I. And with that we all headed down to the DeathRoom.

When we got there, I knocked on the door a fair amount of times without an answer.

"Hello?!" I yelled peering around the corner of the doorway.

"Do NOT come in!" Spirit yelled. Then I heard footsteps racing towards us.

"Why?" I asked when papa finally got in front of me.

"Um... Lord Death has, uh, denied all guests right now," he stammered.

"Then why are you in there if ALL guests are denied?" I asked smelling something fishy.

"Um- well, uh. Doesn't matter!" He pushed me out and locked the door.

"That was weird," Liz said.

"Yah, I know," I replied," I wonder what they're hiding."

Kid's POV

"KYA!" Kayla ran up to me, I was in the same spot as before she left.

"Oh, hai," I said looking up.

"You're Lord Death's son!" She poked my shoulder.

"Well, yah." I stood up and looked down on her.

"Haha ok!" She yelled, overly excited, then jumped onto the fire escape.

I didn't think anyone had lived there. One of the windows was even broken.

"You coming?" She yelled down to me.

"Well, uh, I-I guess," I joined her on the fire escape and followed her along roof tops for what seemed to be no reason at all. "How long are we going to be doing this?" I asked.

"Awhile, I guess, until you feel better," she replied.

I groaned and hopped on my beelzebub. I looked down and, to my surprise, it had pink nail polish on it. I remembered Cora had done it painting my toenails for no reason. I chuckled, remembering how persistent she was to do it, but then I started to tear up, " shit," I whispered under my breath.

"What?" Kayla turned around to face me.

"Oh! Um, nothin, heh," I said looking down, covering my eyes.

"Oh, ok," she said hesitantly.

"Actually," I said after a pause,"i-it's not okay, I-uh, have to go," I sped off before she could protest.

Kayla's POV

"I-uh, have to go," Kid said, flying off on his floating skateboard thing.

'Damn' I thought but then kept on my way to my mother.

"Did you get him?" She asked.

"No, Layla, he got away last minute," I said preparing myself for what was sure to be a slap.

*SLAP*

"I ask you to do GODDAMNED thing for me!"

"I know, Im sorry Ma'am Layla," I said covering my cheek.

"If I still had my powers I swear to God!" She finished. She was a spider witch, but he lost her powers to Lord Death a few years before I was even born. My father, on the other hand, is Medusa's brother and he's a snake witch (or Wizard? Haha no that sounds silly), well that's what Medusa and Ma'am Layla tell me I've never met him. I don't have any powers I only have a snake tattoo on my neck and a spider web on my stomach.

"I know, Ma'am," I repeated. She slapped me another few times and locked me in a room with no light. She got that. from Medusa, I hate that bitch. I heard she'd died though, don't spit on others' graves, oh well I don't care I'm not taking it back.

I hate my mother as well, she's mean and has no boundaries. I can't wait to start my days at the DWMA. It was actually my mother and Medusa's doing. They came up with a whole back story for me. My name's Kayla Luxy, I'm 16, I grew up in Kingsworth California, and I have done extensive work with both my soul perception, my hand-to-hand combat, and my attacks with my soul wavelength with my late father who has never attended the academy. I will be staying with Lord Death and his son, Death the Kid. That's all I know-for now.

Madam Medusa, and Ma'am Layla are sending me to Shibusen to be a spy.

IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED LAYLA IS TE WITCH STEIN SAW WITH EUREKA JUST SAYING IN CASE TOU DIDN'T CARCH THAT.
