Soul X Reader ~The New Duo-Chapter 1~

     "Well, here we are," a tall man stated.
     "You sound upset," you said next to him.
     "______, it's nothing," the man smiled. You frowned, thinking over his answer.
     "Are you sure Shadow?" you asked.
     "If there was I would tell you."
     "Promise?"
     "Promise," Shadow finally looked down to you with his deep brown eyes. His matted black hair falling in front of his eyes. He was wearing a black T-shirt; light muscles ripped their way down his arms. He wore long jeans with white tennis shoes.
     You looked back with (e/c) eyes. Your (h/c) hair blowing slightly in the light breeze. You wore a (f/c) long sleeved shirt that fell just above the stomach. A small black skirt halfway down your thighs with a white skull, like Lord Death's, on the side. You wore (f/c) and black (f/s/b)*.
     "Alright, I believe you," you sighed. "Let's just hurry up and meet Lord Death. You know how I get when people start showing up."
     "Alright," Shadow laughed. "Let's try to find the Dea-"
     "I'M THE AMAZING BLACK*STAR!" yelled a blue-haired boy from atop the school.
~Crescent Moon Class~
     A muffled, "I'm the amazing Black*Star!" came through the walls and to the ears of the students.
     "Oh great...what does he want now?" Maka asked under her breath. Tsubaki was holding her face in her hands, mumbling under her breath. The other students murmured as they walked to the windows to see what was going on.
     "Students, please go back to your seats so we can continue the dissection," Dr. Stein said in a monotone voice. A fox lying in front of him, squirming under the restraints. The knife inches from his torso.
     "Shouldn't we at least stop Black*Star from whatever he's going to do?" Soul asked blankly. At this, Tsubaki rushed out the door.
     "Alright," the professor sighed. "Maka, Soul, Kid, Patty, Liz, and Crona. Please come with me." The students looked up at the sound of their names and stood up when told. Dr. Stein stood up as well, leaving the frightened fox lying on the table. As he walked out the door with the others in tow, the remaining students watched by the window to see the outcome.
~Your POV~
     "Oh no...Shadow, please, let's get out of here!" you whispered.
     At that moment, a girl with a black ponytail came running out of the building, "Black*Star! Please come down from there!" she pleaded. Unfortunately, the boy named Black*Star started to laugh.
     "WAHAHAHAHA, sorry Tsubaki! But these people need to learn that I am the one who will surpass God! WAHAHAHAHA!"
     A few moments later, a group of students with a teacher leading came out and stopped underneath the building.
     Oh no! There are so many people here! And they're all watching us! you thought. You gripped Shadow's arm and stood slightly behind him.
     Black*Star then jumped down, his blue hair flowing from the fall. "I challenge you to a battle!" the boy said, pointing his finger at the two of you. "We'll see who's the biggest here! Tsubaki!" The girl, startled, ran over to Black*Star. "Chain Scythe."
     "Alright...," Tsubaki sighed. She knew what would happen but there was nothing that would stop Black*Star now. She was engulfed in a bright light then fell into Black*Star's hands, now as a chain scythe.
     "Get ready, here I come!" the blue-haired boy yelled. He charged forward, and then jumped into the air, ready to strike.
     Suddenly you jump in front of Shadow, defending him from the incoming threat. A light engulfed you and fell into Shadow's hands. Now you were fully transformed into a scythe.
~Soul's POV~
     "Wow...," Maka breathed next to him. He couldn't blame her, you truly were a sight.
     The staff of your form was being coiled around by a black snake, its body left room for the blade and the meister’s hands. The snake had its head raised above the staff. Its mouth open, fangs exposed in a threatening way.
     The blade had the design like that on the back of a snake. The blade itself was black with (f/c) diamond-like shapes that traveled all the way down to the tip of the blade. The diamonds had holes in the center that were filled with black.
     "Ugh...it's hideous!" Kid whispered. "So...asymmetrical!"
     The two weapons clashed together, the new duo pushing Black*Star back.
     "Relax Kid, I think she looks fine. And besides, did you see her clothes?" Liz states.
     "YEEEESSSS! They were so ADORABLE!" Patty yelled.
     "W-why a-are there n-new s-stu-students?" Crona whispered.
     "What do you think stupid?!"Ragnarok yelled. "They came to enroll in this stupid school!"
     "Not entirely, she's the Snake Scythe after all," Professor Stein said.
     "What does that have to do with anything?" Soul and Kid asked.
     "Lord Death has been awaiting her arrival for some days now," Stein sighed. "Rumor has it she killed her first kishin when she was just 5 years if age. Lord Death probably has a good reason for wanting her here."
     "What?!" Soul asked astonished.
     "That can't be possible!" Ragnarok screamed.
     "Shut up and watch," Maka ordered.
     Everyone was so distracted; the fight looked to be almost over. There were many craters in the ground, Black*Star was covered in cuts and bruises. The new students without a single scratch.
     "You should give up Black*Star," the meister called.
     "I will never bow my head to someone as small as you! I am the biggest one here! No one can beat me!" Black*Star yelled.
~Your POV~
     "I will never bow my head to someone as small as you! I am the biggest one here! No one can beat me!" Black*Star yelled stubbornly.
     "Look, we never wanted to fight you," Shadow stated, obviously becoming bored.
     "You dared to walk on my ground!" Black*Star said.
     "Black*Star, maybe we should stop fighting them," the chain scythe murmured.
     "No, I will show them who the best one here is!" the boy ran towards us.
     "_______, Soul Resonance," Shadow whispered as he blocked another attack, throwing Black*Star back.
     "Alright," you said.
     "Soul Resonance!" you and Shadow said. You felt your souls become one and got ready for the signal.
~Maka's POV~
     A blue light shot up from the two, blinding everyone and forcing Maka to cover her eyes. When the light died away, she dared to open them and saw something that took her breath away. A transparent, light-blue snake reared up from the meister and his weapon. The snake let out a threatening hiss and exposed the fangs within its mouth.
     "What is that?" Liz asked breath taken.
     "What I'm more worried about is why it's so quiet," Soul said.
     Maka suddenly realized Soul was right. The breeze had completely stopped. Not a single call from a bird or leaf scuttling across the ground. Even the sun was silent. Suddenly, a voice echoed through their ears.
     "Soul Sleep."
     The snake lunged at Black*Star and Tsubaki, coiling itself around them. Tsubaki changed back to her human form as she and Black*Star struggled against their bindings. The snake lunged at them again, almost like it was going to swallow them but instead went right through. Tsubaki and Black*Star instantly stopped struggling and hung limp in the snake's grasp.
     "Tsubaki! Black*Star!" Maka screamed.
     The snake turned its head to stare at the group, tongue flickering. It lunged suddenly but vanished into thin air. Black*Star and Tsubaki had been laid gently onto the ground somehow. Soul immediately ran over to their side, the group walking slowly behind. Stein continued to stand, turning his screw until it clicked.
     Soul ran up to the new meister and grabbed his collar.
~Soul's POV~
     "You! How dare you hurt my friends like that!" Soul snarled.
     "I'm sorry about what happened to your friends," said a soft voice behind him. Soul let go of the meister and spun around to find the source of the voice. "But they attacked us. We're new here a-and...," her voice trailed away as her eyes met his.
     "You what?" Soul said coldly. The female flinched and backed away. A strong force suddenly pushed him, causing him to trip but he luckily caught himself. "That wasn't cool," Soul muttered, turning around to face his new found enemy.
     "Don't you dare talk to her like that again or I will personally rip you to shreds!" Blazing brown met crimson red until Stein stood between the two.
     "I believe a proper introduction is in order," the professor stated.
~Shadow's POV~
     "Who are you?" Shadow asked eyeing the newcomer suspiciously.
     "Professor Franken Stein, teacher of the Crescent Moon Class," the professor said. Professor Stein held out his hand, Shadow stared at it but soon took it. "You must be the infamous Snake Scythe," Stein said, turning to you. "How much I would love to dissect you."
     A look of horror came across your face as Shadow pushed you behind him.
     "Relax," the professor laughed. "It was only a joke."
     Shadow still didn't trust him but he relaxed a little.
     "It is an honor to meet you," the professor bowed politely to the two of you. He held out his hand to Spirit with Shadow watching carefully, ready to get in between if something happens. You gingerly took his hand, a light blush forming on your cheeks.
     "I'm Death the Kid, but you can call me Kid. These are my weapons, Patty and Liz," said a boy with black hair that had three white stripes on one side. His golden eyes bore into ours as he looked us over.
     "Never mind him, I'm Liz. This is my sister Patty in case he didn't make it clear who was who," the tallest of the sisters said.
     "We turn into guns!" Patty yelled enthusiastically.
     The three shook hands with the two of you, you giving off a kind smile like always.
     "I'm Maka, and this is my weapon Soul. You seem to have already met him," a girl with sandy-blonde pigtails said. Maka held out a gloved hand and Shadow gently shook it, something flashing through his eyes causing you to stifle a giggle. Maka whispered something into Soul's ear as Shadow gave you a questioning look. Soul obviously didn't like what Maka had said but he thought better than to argue.
~Your POV~
     "Sorry about earlier," Soul muttered. "I'm Soul, Maka's scythe." Soul's crimson eyes bored into yours as he held out his hand. You stared from Soul to his hand but soon gently shook it.
     "Go on Crona, go introduce yourself," Maka was whispering to a pink-haired boy. The boy looked to be wearing a black dress which confused you. I shouldn't question him about it. I don't want to embarrass him or make enemies.
     The boy slowly walked forward, clutching his arm tightly and had his head bowed slightly. "H-hello," the boy whispered. "I-I'm Crona."
     You smiled and held your hand out. Crona stared at it but soon took it, a light smile tugging at his lips.
     "I'm Ragnarok!" a black figure shot from Crona's back. His hands balled up into tiny fists.
     Startled, you hid behind Shadow and peeked out from behind him.
     "It's okay _______," Maka laughed. "Crona is a meister. This is Ragnarok, his weapon." Maka patted Ragnarok's head.
     "Cut that out!" Ragnarok yelled, swatting at Maka's hand. "I'm also his blood."
     You giggled quietly and came over to get a closer look at the two.
     Suddenly Black*Star jumped up with Tsubaki slowly following. "How dare you do that to me! The amazing Black*Star!"
     "Calm down Black*Star," Tsubaki whispered.
     "I'm sorry about that," Shadow laughed, rubbing the back of his head. "We didn't want to hurt you, so we just knocked you out for a little bit."
     "They're new here," Kid explained.
     "Really? Well I'm the amazing assassin Back*Star, the one who will surpass God! And this is my weapon Tsubaki!"
     "What are your names?" Tsubaki asked, clapping her hands together with a small smile.
     "I'm Shadow, the meister. And this is ______, my weapon. You looked up and waved. A smile highlighting your lips.
     "Why doesn't she talk?" Black*Star asked.
     "Yeah! Why don't you talk?" Ragnarok yelled.
     "She's very shy," Shadow explained.
     You giggled slightly and poked where Ragnarok's mouth was supposed to be.
     "Stop that!" Ragnarok screamed.
     You instantly rip your hand away as if you had been burned. You held your hands and hung your head. "I'm sorry," a sweet voice whispers.
     Everyone was shocked at the voice, except Shadow.
     "I didn't realize you didn't like that. I was just curious as to how to could talk without a mouth." You looked like you were on the verge of tears.
     Ragnarok stared at you but soon got control of himself. "I do have a mouth! See?" he opened his mouth wide and his tongue rolled out.
     "Ragnarok s-stop it! T-that's d-dis-disgusting," Crona held his arm tighter. "I wouldn't know how to deal with it!"
     "Anyway," Kid started as Crona and Ragnarok started fighting, "you must be looking for my father, Lord Death."
     "Yes, do you mind showing us to the Death Room?" Shadow asked politely.
     "Students, get back to class. Shadow, _________, follow me," Professor Stein instructed.
     The students bowed slightly and returned to class.
~In the Death Room~
     "Hello, hello! Wazzup, wazzup?" the tall black figure of Lord Death Bouncing up and down, his giant hands waving at them.
     “I have brought the new students to speak with you," Professor Stein stated.
     "Oh? Well go back and continue teaching your class then."
     The professor bowed and left the room.
     "Now then, I am Lord Death as you might already know. This is Spirit, my Death Scythe."
     "It is an honor," Shadow said bowing in respect. You follow his actions.
     "Lord Death would like you to stay with another student or students. You will be safer that way." Spirit explained.
     "Yes, yes. We cannot risk them finding you ________. Even though you are strong, who knows what secrets they hide. You two will be a part of the Crescent Moon Class starting tomorrow. When you find someone who will take you in, contact me immediately.
     "Yes Lord Death," Shadow said, nodding his head.
     "See you later!" Lord Death waved goodbye.
     You and Shadow waved back, leaving the room side-by-side.
     "It's a shame someone would want to hunt down such a sweet girl...," Spirit whispered.
     "Indeed, let's just hope we can protect her efficiently.
~Shadow's POV~
~After School~
     You and Shadow waited by the stairs leading out to Death City.
     "Shadow! _______!" came a female's voice.
     You both turned to find Maka and the others running towards them.
     "We heard you were looking for a home," Maka panted.
     "Word spreads quickly through here apparently," Shadow laughed.
     Maka laughed as well, "You wouldn't believe it! Anyway, my dad told me you were looking for a place to stay. You can stay with me and Soul if you'd like."
     Shadow noticed a blush tint your cheeks when you heard Soul's name. "If that's a problem we can find our own place."
     "________ remember what Lord Death said?" You instantly looked away, you (h/l) (h/c) hair shadowing your eyes.
     "________?" Soul asked.
     "So Mr. Albarn is your father, Maka? He seems like such a nice person," you smiled.
     It's amazing at how fast ______ can hide her emotions. Shadow thought, frowning slightly.
     "I don't really like him all that much...'" Maka replied.
     You were about to ask another question when Tsubaki cut you off. "Shadow? Is something wrong?"
     Shadow snapped back to reality and nodded. "Just thinking, that's all."
     "Father seemed oddly rushed about finding you two a home," Kid stated.
     At this, you grabbed Crona's hand. "Crona? Will you please show me around Death City?"
     A light blush tinted Crona's cheeks, but he nodded lightly. He led you down the stairs, you starting a conversation instantly about who knows what.
     "Well that was unexpected," Liz stared after them.
     "Oh! ______'s got a crush on Crona!" Patty yelled, slamming a fist against her hand.
     "No, she has a crush on someone else," Shadow smiled. "She's just running away."
     "From what? Me? Because if she is, she should know I won't hurt her!" Black*Star laughed.
     "No, she's running from this topic."
     "Why would she do that?" Soul asked.
     "The reason why Lord Death wanted us to get a home so quickly is because ________ is being hunted down."
