"What do you think Lord Death wants?" Jacqueline asked her meister.

"Not sure but I'm sure it's nothing bad. We haven't done anything to warrant trouble." Kim replied.

The two entered the Death Room.

"Wazzup! Wazzup! WAZZUP!" Death said, "So glad you could come so soon! I have a special task for you Kim, and as her weapon you as well Jacqueline."

"What is it, Lord Death?" Kim asked.

"You see, I need a tutor for another student." Death said.

"Tutoring?" Kim asked, "Sorry, but I'm not exactly the type of person you need. Why not get Maka, she's pretty book smart."

"Actually, it's Maka that needs the Tutor." Death said, "I figured you could help her since you are the more experienced witch."

Hearing this Jacqueline and Kim gasped, the former stepping in front of Kim to protect her as she turned her right hand into a fire lamp head! Before she could attack, Lord Death waved his large white hands around.

"Whoa whoa whoa! No need for that, I'm not going to hurt Ms. Kimial!" Death said to them.

"You're not?" Jacqueline asked, still aiming her lantern at Lord Death.

"I am not. It's clear she doesn't wish harm on the academy, so I have no reason to see her as a threat." Death said, putting his hands away.

"Wait... you want me to train Maka... she's a witch as well?" Kim asked, coming from behind her partner.

"Indeed, her mom was a powerful witch, before leaving that life behind and becoming a Meister at the academy." Death said, "It would also seem Maka inherited her mother's special ability to copy other witch's spells."

"Copy spells? Who was her mom?" Kim asked, putting a hand to her chin. "Wouldn't everyone know that Maka is a witch if her mom was that powerful?"

"Her mom changed her name when she left her old life. She is known as Kami Albarn, but she was once known as the witch, Hira Gorgon." Death explained.

"Gorgon!?" Kim asked in shock. "She's part of the Gorgon family!?"

"Yes, Kami is the forgotten sister, born after the witch, Medusa, but before Shaula." Death said.

"Gorgon? Is that a powerful family?" Jacqueline asked, turning her hand back and looking to Kim.

"The Gorgons are one of the most powerful and feared Witch bloodlines in the Witch World." Kim said to her. "Most of the Gorgons use their magic for evil but Kami and Maka may be the only ones with good hearts in that family and want to use their powers to help the world."

"Exactly. And in case we need her help, I need you can train Maka with her magic." Death said, holding up two fingers. "Having two powerful witches on our side could be very useful in a dire situation."

"Hmm, I suppose you're right. But what if Maka doesn't want to be trained?" Kim asked.

"While I don't like it, she will HAVE to do it. You nor Maka have a choice in declining this I'm afraid." Death said as he looked out his window, "I feel something very bad is coming and I need all my allies at full strength."

"Well, in that case, I may have a way to do this then." Kim said, looking at Jacqueline.

Later, Soul and Maka were walking in the desert, almost three miles from Death City.

"So Lord Death really sense a Kishin this far out in the day?" Soul asked.

"Yes and I won't question it, you never know how kishin souls will act. Plus, we have a lot of souls to make up after that mishap with Blair and we need to start somewhere." Maka said to him.
