† Hell Scythe †

Chapter 1 † A Unique Weapon {editing}

I tensed at the reference which made Kid sigh and hold my hand, “It’s alright, Aika. Anyways, don’t ask very personal questions at all, please, just introduce yourselves.”

The white haired kid introduced himself as Soul, and the blue haired kid introduced himself as Black Star. The girl with blonde hair that was wearing a vest was named Maka while the girl with long black hair was named Tsubaki. I made a comment about the flower and she smiled as I gave her a compliment. The two girls, who were now beside Kid, were named Liz and Patty. A man with reddish hair came running towards Maka after everyone introduced themselves. Maka stepped to the side and the man accidentally hugged Kid.

My instincts came in and my eyes turn to blue flames. I kicked the man away from my cousin and pulled my bandana over my mouth. “Kid, position two fourteen and attack Alpha.” He nodded and stood right up. I changed into my scythe form and it was a beauty. My scythe was a blue blade with blue fire. My handle was dark wood and next to the blade is a blue wing with blue flames at the edge. Though in my scythe form and an order was called from me, Kid didn’t move at all from position two fourteen.

“Kid! Attack!” He shook his head at my command and explained that the man was Maka’s father who she deeply doesn’t like because of him flirting with every girl in Death City. I laughed and turned back to my human form. “No wonder Maka stepped aside from his embrace.”

After Maka’s father, who went by the name Spirit Albarn, had cried many tears and left, I asked my cousin’s friends questions. After every question was settled and after Black Star giving me his autograph, I said my goodbyes and walked to what was supposed to be the Death Room. I bumped into Ox and his partner and also a few other people including Sid, who was now a zombie.

 

Once I reached the Death Room, I opened it to find many gates that must be a mile long. “Death, you out-done yourself.” As I walk through the door and finally get to the center of the room, Death wasn’t there at all. I sighed and walked toward the mirror, I sung a little rhyme to contact Death. “42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on Death’s door.” The glass rippled and Death then appeared in the mirror.

He wasn't his usual, perky self and had his dark voice from before the school ever existed; to be honest, I liked his old self. I smiled and said my hello to him, but it seemed like he was sort of in something. I asked, “Uncle? You okay? Do you need me or Spirit?” He shook his head.

“Aika, my Blossom, please stay where you are and don’t come find me. He has taken me and trying to trick every DWMA student to find me. Please, run the school with Sid and take your classes. Don’t create a quest for me until you have a meister.” He was serious and was beaten up badly from the looks of the mirror. He had looked exhausted, but was still concise and straight to the point with his words.

I nodded, “Yes, Uncle. I will run the school and find a meister, but what about your son? Cousin Kid? What should I tell him when you have been missing for a week?” He explained many reasons and excuses to me to use for Kid. I nodded again and said my goodbyes. Once Uncle disappeared from the mirror, I punched the mirror so hard that it had broken into a million tiny shards. “Dammit!!!”

Sid and Spirit ran into the room, looking very worried. Both of the gentlemen saw me with a bloody hand and tiny shards of glass on the ground. I had an angry look on my face, but it soon turned into a face of sorrow. “H-He’s… g-gone…”

“Who? Who, Aika?” Sid asked this question, but as time passed between us, he figured out who I was talking about. “No! He’s not! Sakura, he is not gone!”

I laughed lightly as I wiped the tears off my face. I whispered, “My parents’ killer has him. Death has been kidnapped… by…”

Spirit was really angry by this point; this was his other meister we were talking about. He yelled loudly and punched the closest thing to him, which was Sid. Before Sid could react to the punch, I stopped him with the blade of my scythe. He calmed down after a while and sat on the ground, “I can’t believe that I wasn’t able to protect my meister again.”
