Perfect Symmetry

Ch 3 Black Star Being Black Star

When Sid goes to lead the meister out of the complex, she stops at the door. "What?"

"I wont take another step without my weapons. Please?"

"Stay right here." Sid grumbles, fetching the twins from their cell and joining Mika at the front door. "Hey, guys. How are you?"

"Great! They treated us..." Klaus says, a smile on his face.

"...really well!" Cole finishes.

"Good. Glad to hear it. Apparently you haven't met Spirit. Pray that you don't." she smirks, knowing Sid will tell the Death Scythe her words. "Okay, Sid-sensei, we're ready to go now."

On the way to the basketball court Mika makes idol conversation with her weapons. "Don't forget that you guys will be bunking at DWMA until Death gets us a place to stay in the city. And then we'll have to make sure to do good so we don't get re-arrested and expelled. You guys might even possibly become Death Scythes now." she beams.

"Cool." they say in unison.

"So, here we are." Sid says, pointing with his shoulder to the basketball court with seven people running around on it. "Go make some friends and don't forget to pass along Shinigami's message."

"Hai, Sid-sensei." she nods, stepping onto the edge of the court. "Maka Albarn?"

Sid walks away and Maka passes the ball to Tsubaki, who's sitting on the sidelines because of the uneven teams. Tsubaki takes Maka's place and play continues. "Yeah?"

"Lord Death told me to give this to you. And told me to make friends. Im not great at that though."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks."

Maka tears open the letter and reads it.

(Lord Death Voice Over)

Dear Maka, I hope you, being the nice and friendly girl you are, will welcome Mika with open arms and befriend her. She doesn't look like she'll be comfortable with making a lot of friends, so you may have to give her a little push. Thanks a lot. Love, LD (SS)

(End Voice Over)

"Okay. So, you three up for a game?" a smile appears on Maka's face. Making friends and being welcoming were two things she was actually good at.

"Sure." Mika nods, pulling her black hair into a pony tail so the tips that fade from blood red to rosy pink hang directly in the center of her head. Kid's jaw drops slightly and rage starts to boil inside him a bit. Why cant his hair be that symmetrical? The group restarts the game, the teams being meister against weapons except in the case of the twins, who split evenly to the two opposing sides, so Kid and Mika didn't flip out about the asymmetry.

The teams were Kid, Mika, Maka, Black Star, and Klaus versus Soul, Patty, Cole, Tsubaki, and Liz. Before the game could end, Mika did a dunk over Black Star's head and he got jealous, as usual. He started screaming about how he was going to surpass the gods, so how dare she outshine him like that, the usual. Everyone sweatdropped and Black Star started to run at Mika, only to be stopped by the hands of the Reece twins.

"I wouldn't do that..." Cole starts.

"...if I were you." Klaus finishes for his twin.

"Oh, really? Do what?" Black Star screams, in full out tantrum mode by this point.

"I wouldn't attack her, Black Star." Tsubaki says, resting her hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

"I can do what I want! Im going to surpass the gods after all!" he boasts.
