Death Against Death

Fade's p.o.v

I heard a loud bang, a breaking sound, and I opened my eyes seeing Noire breaking the first step up the stairs. Perfect. "NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!? NOIRE YOU RUINED THE PERFECT SYMMETRY!" Kid yelled at Noire as he fell to his knees holding his head as he screamed, "NO!" Ah, sweet revenge. I got to my feet and dusted myself off.

"Yeah that's what you get for threatening to kill me and not warning me about these stairs." I stepped onto the stairs, and he shook his head no, laughing evilly. I glanced over my shoulder as I heard him stand up. SHIT! DONT KILL ME.

"Believe me Fade, you don't want to go up there." Is he trying to get me to go home, and then have Lord Death angry that I didn't show up for my first day at DWMA? NOT HAPPENING.

"YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" I crossed my arms and started making my way up the stairs."Come on, Noire." She walked up a few steps with me.

"I hope you have a great work out ladies, class starts in ten minutes. by the looks of you at this rate it will take you a few days to reach the top." he crossed his arms and Noire and I stopped turning around slowly and he backed up slowly.

"your so dead kid!"

"Hey Kid? I've been meaning to tell you something this morning... GO THE HECK AWAY!!!!!! GO TO CLASS AND LEAVE FADE ALONE!!! WE WILL GET THERE WHEN WE GET THERE!!!IF IT TAKES US ALL DAY, I'LL BE SO HAPPY BECAUSE THEN I WON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH YOU OR SCHOOL!!!! IF THE STAIRS WERE SYMMETRICAL, DOES THAT MEAN THE SCHOOL IS?!? ANSWER ME KID OR GO AWAY!!!" He backed up as noire screamed at him and I began taking off my jacket ready to kick his ass.

"let's settle this right here right now." I cracked my neck. "if I win your going to make your room asymmetrical."

'fine, if I win you wont exit your room for a week, because you'll be on bed rest from all the pain, but anyways that also means you will have to suffer in a symmetrical room."

"Fade, I'm going to help you this time. I've had enough of Kid this morning."

"Just what I was thinking. Noire, sword mode."

Noire's p.o.v.

I transformed as soon as I heard her say my name. I'm already so close to her that I can tell what she wants from me! I'm so proud of myself! I'm an amazing weapon compared to Patti! "So we are going to bring our weapons into this? Patti, Liz! Remember, we must win this! We can't afford to mess up now! Just because we haven't fought Fade while she was wielding Noire doesn't mean that we can't win!" Oh yeah that's right.... I only fought Kid by myself if I did at all. Lord Death didn't want his house to be destroyed by our fights. We can win this! I know some of your weaknesses Kid.... The Thompson twins transformed into the twin pistols.

"Kid, prepare to be defeated."

"I wouldn't be talking like that yet Fade." They both glared at each other. Ahhhhh! The intensity is getting to me!!!! Damn it!!! Pull yourself together Noire!!!!

"Hey Fade, win this one. Ok?"

"Already worried Noire?"

"No," I said quickly.

"Come at me Kid!" Kid held up his weapons and started shooting at Fade, but each shot missed as she narrowly dodged them. She charged Kid trying to find an opening, but Kid knew what she was doing.

"Patti, Liz! Make sure that you pay attention to this fight!"

"Say that to Patti Kid!" Patti was giggling as Kid jumped back from Fade's swing. When he landed, I saw a little knick on his arm.

"Hah! We got him Fade! Well, just barely though...." He looked at the blood, and his face was priceless.

"I thought that you... How?!?"

"Well, you just weren't quick enough Kid. That's obvious."

"Shut up Fade!" He started shooting at us again.

"Fade! Watch out!" One was headed right in her path.

"Shit!" She can't dodge it! She's going to get hit! What do I do?!?

"Fade! Use me to block it! I'll take the hit!"

"What?!?"

"Look, just do it! There isn't much time, and this little shot isn't going to kill me! I've been shot before by Kid!" She looked outraged by what I said, and for some random reason, she was able to dodge it. What the hell?!? That should have hit!

"You shot my Noire! Kiiiid! I'm going to murder you instead of just giving you a few scratches!!! And if I can't kill you, then I am going to make you beautifully asymmetrical!!! How about a scar on the left side of your face?!?"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Yes I would!"

"That's it!" I thought that it was already serious, but I guess not. The only thing I have to say is that the twins are scary and I'm going to have nightmares for the next week. Fade ran closer to Kid anticipating his moves and leaped behind him swinging around in the air to face Kid as she swung me at his head.

"Holy shit! There's two of the little Grim Reapers! This was unexpected, but what a nice surprise! Why are they fighting? I'm confused.... Shouldn't they be friendly towards each other? What did Lord Death do when he was raising those two? Wait, Kid's twin is a girl? Well, this is an interesting turn of events. Lord Death did say that I was getting two new students today, but could he really mean Kid's twin? Does this mean that I can finally get my hands on a new test subject?" I looked over to see a man with a screw sticking out of his head, and he was wearing a white lab coat with stitches all over it. Who the hell is that?!? Why does he have a screw in his head? Wait, I don't need to worry about him! I need to worry about Kid!

"Noire, can I offer some advice?"

"I don't want your advice Kid!"

"Don't get distracted when you are fighting. One mistake could lead to your death along with Fade's. You wouldn't want that now would you?" He smirked at us.

"Shut up Kid!"

"Noire, should we..."

"Fade, do you mean...."

"Yes."

"I say we should give it a shot, but you need to wait until you have an opening against Kid. If you use it without being able to hit, he could hit us with his."

"I know." We stood off a little ways from Kid now. He seems to be trying to keep his distance.

"Hey Fade? We could always use my other form if we can't get close to him. He isn't the only one that can fight from a distance."

"I would prefer not to draw attention by using two forms."

"Trying to keep it cool, huh? What's worse? Being the object of attention or laying in bed watching Kid make your room symmetrical?"

"I don't know Noire!"

"Hey Kid is starting to shoot at us again!" She ran over to the school stairs and stood there, waiting for Kid to shoot at her. When the shot was fired, Fade moved to the side and charged Kid again leaving the stairs to be destroyed a little by Kid.

"That was a dirty trick Fade! I'm going to make you fix it when I'm done with you!"

"You are the one fired the shot!" Fade got behind Kid as he freaked out about the stairs.

"Now Noire!" We linked souls, and I focused her wavelength, making her stronger as she hit Kid with me. Kid was thrown a few feet by the power of our soul resonance when it hit him.

"That's what you get for being a symmetrical loving pig!"

"Liz, Patti! I'm done playing with her! Let's wrap this up, shall we?"

"Right!"

"Soul resonance!" Oh shit! We are going to die.

"Shit! Kid was playing with me before?!? Kid!"

"Fade! Run! Don't take the hit! If he gets you with it, you will lose immediately!"

"Seriously?!?"

"When do I lie?!?" Fade watched Kid intently as Liz, Patti and Kid used soul resonance. Liz and Patti grew into larger guns, and somehow I was really scared of Kid for the first time this morning. He looked so menacing as he pointed Liz and Patti at us, squatting on the ground to brace himself for the blast.

"Death canon!"

"Shit! Fade, get us out of here!" Fade screamed in terror as she ran from the blast, but she was too slow. The blast from Kid hit her, and she fell to the ground dropping me in the process. I transformed out of my weapon form and put Fade's head in my lap as Kid stood up and came over to us. He had this smug look on his face that made me want to smack him.

"I win Fade." Liz and Patti had transformed out of their weapon form and stood behind Kid. I shot him a glare as he smiled down at his sister. "Ah, you are almost perfectly symmetrical right now. I almost want to forgive you for the hallway this morning. Almost." She shrieked and passed out as she realized that Kid was right. She really did look relaxed and symmetrical if it wasn't for the stripes.

"Don't you dare do anything to Fade Kid! You already won, so there isn't a point in messing with her anymore than you already have. I'm not going to stop you from fixing her room your way because she made a deal, but if you lay another hand on Fade right now, so help me I'll-"

"We are late for class now thanks to you two!"

Fade's p.o.v.

I groaned, he actually hit me! why would he do that to me? And people wonder why we don't get along. All because of a button. Where is the kind heart he had when we were little? That symmetrical loving freak. The pain will go away, but I'm definitely going to get my revenge, tonight. I looked up at him into his eyes.

"Well, you're all asymmetrical. Have you seen your shirt?" He panicked and looked down, and I glanced over at Noire. "You ok? It didn't hit you right?" I smiled softly.

"Hey, don't worry about me. Worry about yourself right now. Kid directed most of the blast at you, but yeah, he got me too. Luckily, it isn't too bad. Wait, is that blood? Fade! This is not good! You have this gash on your head from where you hit the pavement! Does it hurt a lot? I'll carry you up the stairs and get you to the infirmary! Surely they have one here at the school! Hey... that gash makes you more asymmetrical. Kid, come look at it! Look what you did to your sister! You better help me find the infirmary when I get up there!" I reached out holding my head, it didn't start hurting till she said something about. Damn her! Kid panicked as he looked at my head.

"AH! WE HAVE TO GET IT FIXED! YOU'RE NOT SYMMETRICAL!" He threw his hands up in the air then stopped as he turned hearing Patti talk. Geeze Noire, what are you trying to do get Kid to hit me on the other side of my head to make it symmetrical? I wouldn't be able to look in the mirror for a couple of days...

"Kid look, its that guy with the nail in his head!" I saw her point at the guy she briefly described for Kid. Why and how is there a nail in his head? Whatever, that's not what I should be worried about. They're trying to take me to an infirmary, NO!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE DOCTORS. Not because their symmetrical (BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE) but because they are really scary when they ask to take a sample of your blood and pull out a pointy needle. Wait...Why is that guy in a lab coat? Is he a doctor???

"Noire get meee out of here! Don't forget my jacket. I want to go home!"

"Yeah.... Do you think that you can hang onto me again on the motorcycle? I don't want to have to leave it here and come back for it...." I looked up at her and shrugged.

"I don't know, did I lose an arm or something?" I glanced down at my precious arms. If I lost one, then I can only be able to use her as a sword.

"No, it's just that you look really beat up, and I wanted to make sure that Kid didn't wear you out. Hey Kid, we are going home! If Lord Death asks, tell him that I am tending to her at home. Also apologize to the teacher for me! I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with whoever it is!" I heard that weird guy with the nail in his head laugh.

"That won't be a problem. I'm standing right here, go along home. Make sure she gets some rest!"

"Y- you're the teacher?!?" I tugged on her collar.

"Stop asking questions! I think he's a doc- just...just move it!"

"Alright alright! Calm down before you have a heart attack and die! Let's go home before Kid says something stupid again."

"huh, did you say my name?" Kid asked. I noticed he had already picked up my jacket dusting it off and trying to straighten it out. DAMN HIM.

"Hand me that!" I reached out to snatch it away, but he stepped farther back.

"Why?" That pig.

"Give it back or else!" He laughed and dangled it in front of me, and I tried to get up, but Noire held me down, and I groaned in pain. Ugh every bone in my body aches...Why?!?

"I wouldn't be talking big right now Fade. Not like that. If anyone is going to do it, that's me. KID!!! GIVE ME THE JACKET BEFORE I DECIDE TO MESS UP YOUR ROOM WHILE YOU ARE AT SCHOOL!!!! I'LL EVEN PUT FADE ON YOUR BED TO WATCH!!!!" He got down on his knees handing it over.

"No! That would be so wrong of you, Fade doesn't go in my room. She goes in her room and that just wouldn't make any since!" He started freaking out, and I gave Noire a high five. She got him this time.

"Bye Liz and Patti! See you guys after school.... Bye brat." Noire picked me up, and put me on the motorcycle with her.

"Bye you asymmetrical scum." Then she fastened my helmet before she left. Yeah that's right. I called him asymmetrical. I can still hear him freaking out right now. "Thanks for getting us out of there. I was afraid that guy would try to do experiments on me. Did you see the way he looks. He's even scarier than him just being in a lab coat." I held on all the way to the house, yet I still had black outs from being so tired. Kid is really powerful. I give him, Liz, and Patti that score on the imaginary board in my head.

Anyways, so we arrived back at the mansion, and she carried me inside and brought me upstairs to my bedroom laying me down on the bed and ran off towards the bathroom. She's a lot less scary then a doctor. She came back with a first-aid kit and started shuffling though what we had in the box. I watched her till I blanked out unable to stay conscious, too...sleepy.

Noire's p.o.v.

I cleaned up Fade's wounds and did what I could. Kid is going to get it! He knows that he is stronger than Fade! He should have held back even a little. Well, I guess that wouldn't be nice of him because it would be condescending. I don't care though! I'm going to get him back for everything this morning!

I walked into the bathroom and spotted the bar of soap. Gonna get rid of that before he comes home and puts it up. I picked it up and put it in my pocket. No way am I throwing it away in here though. After I put up the first-aid kit, I went into Kid's room and moved one of his pictures 1 centimeter to the left. It might take him a little bit to notice, but he will get the feeling something is off. I started to walk out of his room, but I spotted something sticking out slightly from under his bed. Huh? What's that? I picked it up and opened it up. It's a photo album. Wow, he looks so happy in some of these pictures! Especially the ones where he is really little, but why is he hugging Fade in this one? Did they actually get along at one time? I guess they did when they were little.... I flipped through the pages as Kid grew up. I can't believe this! Was he actually a nice kid? Awww, look it's Liz and Patti! Wait, what's he doing with a picture of them when they were little? Did they give it to him? Liz and Patti started showing up in more pictures, and Fade's pictures started to show up less and less. Then I finally found something that made me nervous. What the heck is he doing with that picture?!? Oh my gosh.... I- I'm putting this back and pretending I never saw what I just saw. I dropped it and kicked it back under his bed completely freaked out. I need to report to Lord Death before I forget to. Knowing Kid, he won't say anything. I walked out of Kid's room and went to the bathroom where the mirror was.

"42-42-564 whenever you want knock on Death's Door," I said while I wrote the numbers on the mirror.

"Hey there Noire! Where are you two at? I haven't seen you here at school yet! Did Kid not get you girls up for school?"

"No Lord Death. You see, Fade and Kid got into a fight outside of school, and she got very injured. There was a man with a screw in his head, so you can ask him about it if you want. He's kind of creepy.... Is he really a teacher at your academy?"

"Yes. Dr. Stein is a teacher at the academy. He is actually a pretty good one at that! Well, besides the part where he dissects things."

"Did you say 'Dr.'?" I started to freak out. Please don't let him be insane! Fade is already scared of him because he looks like one! Should I tell her?

"Yup, so how is Fade?"

"She's got a gash on her face, and Kid hit her with his Death Canon. He said that when he comes home he is going to make her watch him while he cleans up her room his way."

"It's a relief that he didn't hurt her too badly then. Why would Kid even set a foot in her room?"

"Why does he go inside an asymmetrical room when he tell him that it is? He's going to try to fix it, or it's going to bother him. Hey, Lord Death?"

"What is it Noire?"

"Did they used to get along?"

"Hmm.... I think that they did when they were very little. Why do you ask?"

"I had a sneaking suspicion I guess. All siblings probably got along at least once in their life, but how would I know? I don't have any siblings to get along with, so I wouldn't know if siblings do get along."

"Oh, that reminds me! I decided that this weekend you could go see visit your mom. You can stay over there or just visit, but you can if you want!" I brightened up.

"Really? Fade wouldn't mind?"

"Actually, I didn't ask for her opinion.... I already said you could, and I'm not going to take it back."

"Thank you Lord Death! I'm going to go check on her now! She might be awake again!"

Fade's p.o.v.

I woke up after awhile and looked around. Noire laid asleep by me. I don't want to wake her, so I'll just have to try my best to be careful not to wake her. I really have to go pee. I sat up slowly, and she groaned turning over onto her side. Adorable. I slowly rose up out of bed and held my head as the room spun around for a minute. When it settled, I made my way over to the bathroom and caught an image of myself in the mirror that hung on the bathroom door. The bandage on my head seemed to have blood seeping through, maybe I should get it checked out? Nah, I'll be fine. I stepped into the bathroom closing the door right behind me and took off the bandage, getting a washcloth from up under the sink, and I wet it before cleaning the wound. After I wiped all the blood away, I looked at the wound that seemed to be alright. See, no big deal. I used the bathroom before placing a new bandage over the wound and sighted in relief. All done, no doctors needed.

I stepped out of the bathroom taking one more glance towards Noire then walked downstairs to the kitchen. What time is it? It can't be too early or too late since I see no sign that Kid could be here, or Patti and Liz. As I stepped into the kitchen, I looked at the clock on the stove that told me the time. I have a couple of hours till they will be getting out of school, and then who knows what time Kid, Patti, or Liz will get here. Knowing Lord Death he probably sent Kid on some mission impossible just to get teach Kid a lesson on why-no-one-messes-with-Lord-Death's-baby-girl. Yeah, I would give anything to see Kid's face when my dad tells or told him his punishment.

Anyways, back to the reason why I'm in this kitchen, to fix lunch for Noire and I. She really needs a day off, look at what I put her through! Stupid me. I should've known I couldn't defeat my twin. He's ten times more powerful than me since my dad wanted to delay my training for a year! Damn them. It's all my fault. She got hurt because of my foolishness. There I go again forgetting that the main reason why I'm down here is to make lunch not ramble off in my head.

What should I cook? I think I'll make some BLT sandwiches. Yeah, that sounds great right about now. When she smells them she will be running down here as fast as her feet will let her. I'll even set out pickles and a bag of chips to go with them...or maybe I'll even fry up the pickles...YES THAT SOUNDS AMAZING! She will be in love with them so much she might kiss my feet to try to make me cook more often. Secretly I'm a really great cook, I mean think about it. Someone had to cook before she and Liz came along!

I started cooking the bacon first then cut up tomatoes and lettuce. Once was I done, I heard shuffling upstairs and giggled. I guess I won't make it to fry up the pickles in enough time. Just great, that's fantastic. I toasted the bread before adding the ingredients together into a sandwich. I feel like I'm missing something... Oh well, this will do. Noire entered the room and rubbed her eyes as she saw me cooking. "I made BLT sandwiches. There are also pickles, and chips out to go with them. I hope you enjoy."
