Late to Class

Noire's p.o.v.

"Damn Kid." I turned around and stared at Tsubaki. "Wanna help me or go to class?" I smiled at her and looked up the stairs and sighed. I walked all the way down those stairs because I thought Kid was Fade. How disappointing and a waste of my time! I have to go up th- the stairs again. THIS IS NOT MY DAY!!!!

"How about I take you to class? I am sure Fade must be there waiting for you. I bet Lord Death needed to talk to her and that's why she's been away all morning."

"But- Yeah, I guess.... I don't like it one bit that I can't find her. Plus, if I do, she's gonna look like Kid. What if everyone thinks that I'm hanging out with Kid? I can't stand it! I should go home and get her a change of clothes! Or doodle on her face!" I sat down on the stairs holding my head as I started to freak out.

"Calm down. She won't look like Kid, he has his jacket on." I looked up at her.

"Who do you think I was hugging this morning Tsubaki?"

"Ki- Wait a minute....Fade?!?"

"Why would I give that symmetry loving brat who has finger nail polish on a hug?!?" I stood up and pointed a finger in the direction that Kid went.

"Well...So she has a jacket just like his? Dang...Must have been tough when they were younger...I bet she got called Kid a lot." She started laughing.

"Actually, only by me. Their jackets aren't exactly the same, but one day the laundry got mixed up by Patti. I ended up alienating my own meister when she tried to come into my room wearing his jacket. Kid looked like himself, so I told him to leave me alone when he tried to speak to me even though it was the first time that I actually saw him. Soap tastes terrible especially in the morning when you tell Kid to go away in an unladylike way." I sighed and looked at the ground turning to go up the steps. "She stole his jacket this morning and I ended up treating her like she was a demon when she tried to wake me up because I thought she was Kid. I need to get them a shirt that says 'Thing One' and 'Thing Two' to help...."

"Actually I heard that Lord Death done that back in their younger years when Fade really did look just like Kid if you get what I'm saying." She pointed to her boobs. "But when that finally started to get older he stopped buying them that kind of stuff and handed them over those jackets."

"WHY IS EVERYTHING ABOUT BOOBS AT THIS ACADEMY?!?" I started blushing madly while I started stomping up the steps. "JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYONE HAS TO START TO TALKING ABOUT IT!!!" I turned back to look at her.

"At least you don't have a twin."

"Bleh..... I don't think I would be able to sleep at night if I knew that there was a look alike running around ruining my life here. Poor Fade. Kid must really ruin her life. Oh wait, that's backwards...." I giggled. "They really must have a hard life like that."

"Well actually at one time they enjoyed confusing people." My eyes widened as I went into fangirl mode.

"You mean like Hikaru and Kaoru from Host Club! OH MY GOSH! THOSE TWO ARE ADORABLE!!!" I put my hands to my cheeks as I thought about them trying not to be too weird.

"Yeah, they really could make Lord Death confused so... well nobody knows really what happened to them but when they stopped that...obsession to look alike and act the same Lord Death became so happy."

"I have a few choice words for Lord Death! NO ONE messes with look alike twins! Damn it! I need to find Kid's Haruhi soon." I held out my hand to her waiting for her to follow me.

"Well it will be a lot harder then you think. Oh so you are ready to head to class now?" She followed me.

"Yeah, I'll look for Fade later. She probably fainted somewhere.... like a closet. The janitor will find her. Or a teacher, maybe a cute guy. Hey! What if she gets a boyfriend today? She'll leave me all alone with.... with.... we shall not speak his name anymore. It is now a bad word." I smiled as we finally reached the top. "YASSS! I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS!!!!" I cheered as I fell to the ground. "But now I'm so tired...."

"Hey how about you turn around and have a look." Maka asked as she showed up in my vision while she leaned over me and waved.

"I wish my meister was here.... Maka.... Do you think that she might be around? I might decide to turn into a weapon and make her carry me to class." I sat up on my knees and looked into Maka's green eyes. Then I turned around. "Holy crap! That is sooooo pretty!" I stood up and brushed a little bit of my hair out of my face. The town was laid out and surrounded the DWMA. You could see just about everything from here..... Including that idiot on his skateboard riding through the streets even though he looks like a speck. Forget him. He's an idiot.

"Well hello ladies." I heard someone say as he walked by going down the stairs.

"Hey he's cute." Tsubaki whispered to Maka and I.

"Nope. Not my type. He's too stupid." I stopped watching him leave and went back to the view. If only Fade could see this.... Shit! I forgot about her!! "Fade! I need to find her!" I ran past Maka and Tsubaki.

"Well see you later girlie, try not to get lost!" One of them yelled to me.

"Ok! See you later! I'm gonna lay down a trail of bread crumbs! Maybe! If I don't show up in class, tell Stein I lost my meister like a retard!" I ran down the halls searching everywhere. "Nope, not here. FADE! STOP HIDING PLEASE! I never really say please, do I? Huh, that's a good question. Maybe I should say it more. Kid might treat me nicer. FADE! WHERE ARE YOU?!?" I turned a corner and ran into someone. "Ow!" I looked up trying not to say something mean like watch where you stand idiot.

"Well that must have hurt. Are you ok? You hit me pretty hart at that speed if you actually hit a wall you would not be saying much being unconscious and all. Hey. Let me help you up since your cute and all. My name is James." I took his hand and stood up.

"I'm sorry. I should be watching where I am running. I'm sure that if I was caught by Fade she would yell at me for running around in the halls. I have a tendency to hit things. Whoa, did you call me cute?" I looked up at James studying him. W-who was I looking for again? He's really REALLY hot. Maybe I can hang out with him.... Who am I again? Oh yeah, I'm Noire. Did I have a crush on someone before? No, guess not. Did I even kiss someone at all? No.... I don't think I did.... What am I doing? I'm just staring at him like a weirdo.... Say something before he gets away! "U-um, my name is.... What was it again? Oh yeah, my name is Noire! Noire, that's right! I can't seem to think straight anymore.... I think I hit my head too hard...."

"Well...Hey I never seen you here before! Are you new Noire?" I got over the shock of his hotness and got control of myself again.

"Yeah, I'm new, but I lost my meister already. She looks like Death the Kid if you know who that is. Have you seen a look alike running around the halls?" I took my hand back from James realizing that we still had each other.

"No, Noire if you need me to walk you to class or to the infirmary I would be happy to help especially since you think someone would be stupid enough to imposter Death the Kid. Lord Death would be pretty upset I figure. You know what I will just take you to the infirmary you look tired." I narrowed my eyes and lost any cheeriness I had.

"I can't believe that you don't believe me. If you think I would LIE about something, you are poorly mistaken. Just stay the hell away from me. I wouldn't ever lie about my meister. She wouldn't imposter that idiotic symmetry loving brat at all. She hates him." I started to walk away from James trying not to snap at him. Not worth detention, not worth it, not worth it Noire. This isn't home. You can't beat up idiots here. Well, you kind of can.... Still you need Fade for that.

"Hey Noire come back. I didn't call you a liar! No didn't see a girl that looks like Death the Kid running around here." He ran up to me. "May i help you find her or even walk you to class if you give me the chance i would like to." I stopped and looked at him over my shoulder.

"Alright idiot. I'll let you come with me. Just don't think that I'm going to forgive you for calling me and my meister crazy. It's not her fault she looks like Kid." I turned around and waved him over to me.

"Well i am confused mind catching me up to what all you mean?" He walked over to me.

"Pfft. Yeah I guess you would be! I'm sorry. It's my fault you think I'm crazy! You see, I'm the weapon for Kid's twin sister. The whole family is a little crazy though.... I need to make cookies as a peace offering when I get back home.... Kid will be mad for me calling him a jackass. I need to throw away that stupid soap." I looked around.

"Twin sister huh? Must be...crazy to keep up with the two of them. Ever need a break you should give me a call." He smirked. "Oh I am a weapon also." I smiled at him.

"If you don't mind, tonight would be nice. The two will probably fight tonight, and I'm in trouble with Kid for this morning." I held up my hands.

"Okay.. Here let me write my number down for you." He started to get out a pen.

"Thanks. I'm sorry about earlier too. I know that we just met, but I already owe you." I held out my arm and pushed my sleeve up. He wrote his number down then added his name by it and put the pen back into his pocket.

"It's no problem you don't owe me anything. So how did you loose your meister?"

"Weeell.... Fade kind of thought it would be funny to look like Kid today. Let's just say that I was confused this morning, and I let her get away as I went to go find the other twin to figure out which was which. I'm a terrible weapon.... She might have fainted somewhere and needs my protection and I can't even find her!"

"Have you even considered going to class? Maybe she is there waiting for you."

"I d- What time is it?!? I'm late to class! Shit! Today's my first day in class today too! Great job Noire!" I grabbed James hand and started dragging him down the hallway as I ran back the direction I came.

"Slow down and let me lead the way before we get even more late or worse, LOST!"

"Oh yeah.... I don't know where Stein's class is, do I? Oh! That reminds me! About tonight, are you picking me up or am I picking you up?" I stopped and let James lead me down some hallways.

"I will pick you up. What time suits you?" I smirked. It's my first day and I already have a friend who will help me hide from Crazy Kid.

"Is seven alright with you?" I looked down at my arm realizing I still had my sleeve up. I pushed it down before we reached my class.

"Seven sharp sounds just fine to me, well here you are. I bet she is in there waiting for you...probable has been worried sick wondering where you are. Alright. Off I go."

"Bye!" I waved at him as he walked off to a different class. Ok, can I skip class? Stein is scary, and I'll get noticed by him if I come in late..... Nope, inside you go.

"Oh Hey Noire..." Black Star walked past me then stopped before he opened the door. "Noire? Why are you not in class and where is Fade? Your usually with her..." I sighed.

"I lost your girlfriend this morning. Been looking for her too. Wait.... Why are you late?!? Oh that's a stupid question. Of course YOU'RE late." I walked past him and opened the door holding it open for him. "Awesomeness before beauty." Make HIM go first. See what happens to him.

"Well thank you Noire for seeing this clearly..." He walked through the door and the class got silent. "HEY STIEN I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING LATE. You know that this awesomeness don't just come naturally. By the way I am late because I was assigned to show Noire around the DWMA and it took a while...lost track of time." He stretched and then waved me in. Play along with Black Star for now.

"Um...." I walked slowly into the classroom being cautious of Stein. I watched his every move trying to find out if he would kill us or not. "I'm sorry Dr. Stein. I usually keep up with time, but Black Star was making me laugh to much to think about time. Normally, I wouldn't go within 1 foot of Black Star for fear that his bad habits would rub off on me, but I had no choice since how he grabbed me and started going around school explaining the rules and where everything was. I should have kept up with the time because Black Star isn't responsible enough, but I learned that you ABSOLUTELY CAN'T TRUST HIM AT ALL. That's the last time I have him show me around somewhere." I glared at Black Star for effect.

"Hey now don't you act like you didn't enjoy spending time with the amazing Black Star!" Black Star laughed and Stein shrugged.

"If you are done disrupting my class I would like you to have a seat Black Star. Noire I need to ask you something step out into the hall." Is it "would you like to die tonight"? I hope not. That cute boy would be disappointed.

"Uh... Ok." I tried to hide my fear from him, but not well enough. I could feel Maka and Soul watching me as I went outside. Black Star took his seat and Stein road his chair to the door then scooted outside with it and shut the door behind him.

"I would like to know where the Death twins are."

"Oh... that. I thought you were going to kill me out here." I sighed with relief.

"Why would I kill you?"

"For being late to class. Anyways, that doesn't matter. The twins aren't here?" I waved the question away. What do I tell him. Should I say "I lost the twins"?

"Yes, they are not in the class room if you have not noticed. Where are they?"

"Um.... Stein, I- I... AM THE WORST WEAPON EVER!" I started crying and collapsed to my knees.

"Well...tell me. Where are they? Spirit is going insane trying to find them before Lord Death finds out he lost them once again."

"Oh, you're trying to save your boyfriend. How sweet of you Stein." I wiped some of my tears away.

"Hey. He is a guy and a friend...Nothing more. It concerns me only because all three of them are supposed to be under my watch in my room and I can't watch Spirit do his job if he isn't in my room now can I?" I sighed.

"I'm the worst weapon ever because I don't even know where my meister is. It's the real reason why I was late. I was looking for her around the school, and I couldn't find her. If you want, I can tell you what all happened this morning to give you a picture about why I'm not with her." I stood up and leaned against the wall hugging myself.

"Damn it Black Star lied to me! Wait...I have to deal with that issue later...yes I will. Noire I want you to take Soul and Maka out with you to find the Death twins. Once you find them report back to me, got it memorized?"

"If I couldn't memorize a sentence what kind of servant would I be for Fade? Jeez, don't doubt me like that." I crossed my arms and stared at him.

"I don't doubt you." He rolled back into class. "Maka, Soul. Go with Noire she needs your help finding her way to the front office."

"Ok then. What is his problem with me? Saying that makes me look stupid! I can find the front office if I wanted to! Oh wait, no I can't. I don't even know where I am." I waited for them to come out of the classroom.

"Hey Noire." Soul waved as he shut the door behind Maka and himself.

"What's up Noire. Front office is another word for something is wrong and we are here to help."

"Did you loose your-"

"Soul don't you dare say it."

"Dang..."

"Say what?" I looked at Soul confused.

"Pencil or something..." He rubbed the back of his head and looked off.

"That's not what you were going to say Soul. I know because that is a REALLY stupid question." I stared at him. "What were you really going to say? I swear I won't hurt you at all." I crossed my heart.

"Well if you promise not to hurt me..."

"I promise. If I do, I'll buy you ice cream later, and I reaaally don't want to." I crossed my arms.

"Fine. I was wondering if you lost your-"

"MAKA CHOP." Maka hit him hard making his fall over with birds flying around his head.

"MAKA! Don't do that! I was interested in what he had to say! I wasn't going to get mad at all. Why'd you do that?" I grabbed her wrist. "Soul, you can tell me. I've got her." I held Maka down as Soul stood back up.

"Well did you loose your- wait why are you staring at me like that...OKAY I WON'T TELL HER." He turned away crossing his arms.

"DAMN IT MAKA!" I smacked her head. "I just want to know!" I let her go and turned around not looking at either of them. "Soul, you are such a scaredy cat."

"Anyways. What are we helping you out with?" Maka asked.

"Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Well, I lost my meister, and I lost... What is he to me anyways? Does a kiss count? No, I don't think it does. ANYWAYS, I lost the Death twins, and your dad is going to be in trouble soon. Stein is trying to save Spirit by having you two help me find them. Apparently, he is going crazy trying to find them before Lord Death finds out no one knows where his kids are.... Wait a minute... that puts ME in danger too! SHIT! WE GOTTA FIND THEM! I was just going to settle for Fade and deal with Stein, but Kid is gone too! I don't want to go anywhere near that jerk. Ok, let's think about this.... I know Kid's phone number.... Fade's phone was destroyed along with mine, so I can't use mine to contact Kid. We are just going to have to find Fade a different way. Do any of you have a phone that you don't mind me using?" I turned back around already over not finding out what Soul wanted to ask.

"Yeah, use mine." Soul handed his over and smiled softly.

"I need to go replace Fade's phone when we get her back. I don't care if she doesn't want another." I started dialing Kid's number that I had memorized a looooong time ago.

"Hey Soul!" Kid answered. "Why are you calling me? You are supposed to be in class." I pulled the phone away from my ear and started screaming my head off, cuss words coming out.

"I HATE THAT GUY! DAMN IT! WHY THE HELL AM I TALKING TO HIM?!? HIS VOICE REMINDS ME OF EVERYTHING! DAMN IT! WHY CAN'T I FORGET IT?!? DA- I'm still outside Stein's classroom too... Whoops." I put the phone back up to my ear. "This isn't Soul sadly."

"Oh. Hey Noire. What is up girlllllllllll. I will be in class later." Kid was trying to sound like Fade on the other end.

"Hell no Kid. Just no. Did you hear anything that I yelled a few seconds ago or something? Don't hang up either."

"Oh look, cookies. Bye Noire." Kid hanged up quickly.

"DAMN HIM! DAMN HIM ACROSS THE WORLD!" I handed Soul back his phone before I lost control and smashed it. "Can't he concentrate for 1 minute?!? 1 minute is all I ask! I'd even do whatever he freaking wanted if he would take this seriously! Why are you staring at me?" I looked back at the two who were looking at me.

"Try again?" Soul suggested and dialed the number again.

"He said something about cookies. I think he was dodging me though. I think I might poison any cookie I make tonight for him." I looked at the wall.

"Hey Kid, don't hang up it is me Soul. I have a question to ask you....OH HECK YES I WANT TO GO SEE THAT MOVIE TO! Wait, Kid I need t- DAMN YOU!" I started laughing. Soul smashed the phone.

"Pfft. That's Kid for ya! I am sooooo screwed." I looked over at Maka giggling. "Your turn." Maka took out her phone and dialed Kid's number.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU KID? WHY ARE YOU NOT IN SCHOOL AND WHERE IS YOUR STUPID- Where is Fade do you know?" She turned her back to us and walked off down the hall. "Oh...Yeah we have not seen either of you and Stein got worried along with Noire and Spirit. If you do not show up at school in the next ten minutes I will tell your Dad that you are the reason for why the hallways in school are tr-....WELL THEY WILL BE IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE." She hung up and glanced over her shoulder at us. "Let's go find Fade she is not with Kid."

"Maka is scary Soul. Why's she so scary?" I paled as I looked from her to Soul and back. Stein poked his head out the door.

"What are you still doing here? I thought I told you to go to the front office." He looked at me narrowing his eyes. "And if you don't stop shouting cuss words, I'll put you all in detention." He slammed the door shut, and I fell to my knees.

"I'm doomed to live a terrible life. Maybe I won't be able to go on that date tonight."

"Well you won't have the chance if you keep sitting there thinking out loud. Let's go." Soul pointed out and held out a hand for me to take.

"Yeah, you're right. I need to find Fade and yell at her instead." I took it smiling and ran down the hallway. "Which way is the school entrance again?" I turned around trying not to seem like an idiot.

"Well that way won't get you a step closer to being able to go on that date." Soul yelled to me as he pointed at Maka who was making her way down the other end of the hall.

"Well, I'm an idiot." I ran the other way grabbing Soul's hand and dragging him over to Maka who was almost down the hallway now. "Wait up Maka!"

"Hurry up slow pokes!" Maka yelled to us and giggled.

"She is usually the slow poke." Soul whispered to himself.

"What happened to 'if you keep sitting there thinking out loud'? What do YOU think you are doing right now Soul?" I ran faster dragging Soul who could barely keep on his feet.
