The New Reaper

Chapter 24: Kayla and Cora's plan

Kayla's POV

"Oh my!" The main character in Soul's horror movie yelled.

"I'm here for you, Delilah!" The man said is return.

Then they were ambushed by Zombies.

I laughed and Soul pulled a throw pillow over his face.

"Ok well we have class tomorrow," Maka said as she stood up and faced Soul.

"Alright," Soul said, slowly lifting the pillow off his face. I swear he is more a wuss than Maka.

I have to meet with Eureka tonight, but I have to wait till Soul and Maka fall asleep. Well Blair, really, she's usually the last one awake. It's around midnight.

After Blair changes between Soul and Maka's room a few dozen freaking times the house goes quiet. To make sure everyone is asleep, I walk up to Maka's room. Her door is open so it's easy to tell that she's asleep with Blair on her stomach. Soul's door was closed, though, so I had to press my ear up to the door. I could faintly hear Dead Walker Texas Ranger by Sleeping With Sirens playing. It was coming from his head phones, I thought. I slowly opened the door to see Soul fast asleep with head phones in his ears and drool hanging out of his mouth. I creaked the heavy door closed and tip toed back into the living room.

With my mind on what to wear, I looked through my bags. I grabbed a navy blue skirt and paired it with a blank black t-shirt. I put on some sneakers and took one of Maka's black trench coat things off the washer. I grabbed a key off the counter from under the microwave, and headed for the DWMA.

....O.o....

"Hey Kayla!" Patti yelled at me as I entered Stein's classroom.

"Hey Patti," I flashed her a quick peace sign and sat in my normal spot next to Kid. I haven't heard him talk in quite awhile, he hasn't been showing up for class a ton lately either. I'm glad he did today, though, because I wanted to see him alive and unburdened, well as unburdened as he can be, before I kill him. Eureka said I have till 5am to do it- consume his soul that is. That's when we meet at the old car dealership and I meet Medusa again- stupid bitch. From what Eureka has told me, to become a Kishin, I must consume one soul- that is one of a Grim Reaper. Kid's soul is the only one I have a chance at getting, and, without a weapon, my only advantage is the element of surprise.

"Alright children, today we will be discussing how to use your soul wavelength as a weapon, and how to defend against it."

'Wow an actual lesson' everyone in the whole class thought.

"We have two students who use this," Stein continued, "Kayla and Black*Star. Will you two please join me?"

Black*Star and I walked down the stairs to join Professor Stein at the front of the classroom.

After a class of what felt like showing off, I headed back to Maka and Soul's place to take a nap since I would be up all night.

Kid's POV

Well that was an interesting class, I suppose, I thought to myself. I hopped on my Beelzebub and rushed in a homeward direction.

"Hey Kid!" Maka shouted.

"Oh," I turned around to face her, "Hey."

She looked at me with a real questionable look, like she thought I was someone else.

"Do you want to come play basketball with us? You've been acting real depressed lately and we were worried."

"Uhm yeah sure, why not?" I hopped off of my Beelzebub and walked with Maka back to the court.

The teams were split into weapon vs. meister.

Maka, Black*Star, Crona (even though she isn't really a weapon) and I vs. Soul, Tsubaki, Liz, and Patti. There weren't any stakes to this game like there usually were. It wasn't really a close game, either. The meisters got ahead pretty fast and stayed ahead the whole time. We won a game of 25-18.

Cora's POV

"But you've got to believe me!" I yelled at Spirit who was trying to get me to eat something.

"I'm sorry there's nothing I can do, you were probably just hearing things."

"I wasn't. I'm not crazy!" I was talking to Spirit about the people I heard last night.

"Look, are you going to eat dinner or not?" He said angrily.

"No, probably not," I said, calming down. 'I'll just help him when I go for my nightly walk,' I thought to myself.

"Well, I'll just leave it here, then," Spirit placed my tray on my only table. "Lord Death won't be happy when he hears you aren't eating," he said.

"Do you have to tell him?" I asked.

"Yes I have to tell him how you're doing everyday," He explained then left.

"Wait," I yelled, causing Spirit to turn on his heals, "When will you be back to let me out for the night?"

"Stein will be here at midnight."

That was it, Spirit left me alone again.

I turned around and saw the sun shining on the wall- my favorite time of day.

I put my back against the wall and slid down to sit on the floor where the sun hit me square in the face. I started humming Payphone because it reminded me of Kid and that calmed me down. I had to be calm and come up with a plan.

I reached the conclusion that whoever this person was probably wasn't going to harm Kid before he was asleep because he is so powerful as a reaper, and has weapons. Also, the person sounded young-not like an adult- so, therefore they can't be too powerful, themselves.

The sun completely set and the clock on the cold stone wall said it was 9:32pm. I got up and laid on my bed to take a nap. I figured Stein would wake me up. I had to be awake and not tired during this fight tonight.

I am not about to let my only happiness in this world die in his sleep.
