Back 2 School

Noire's p.o.v.

I crawled out of bed slowly but Kid's alarm clock started going off as soon as my feet had touched the floor. He sat up in bed and then flew out of it going to his baseball bat and grabbed it going to the clock and broke it. He calmed down and then walked out into the hall going to the bathroom before he ran back in and over to me giving me a soft kiss. "Good morning!" He ran back out going into the bathroom. I stood up and followed him wondering what he was doing.

"Whatcha up to?"

"I have to pee." He pushed me out of the bathroom and closed the door in my face. "LOVE YOU!"

"RUNNING AWAY REALLY FAST NOW!" I took off down the hall and ran downstairs to my room and grabbed my favorite black hoodie and my pink shirt along with a pair of shorts and got dressed then went to the bathroom pulling my hair up into a ponytail and brushed my teeth then ran back upstairs to find my Fade. "FADE! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" I unlocked Black Star's door with bobby pins throwing it open and pulled her out of his bed and carried her downstairs to her bedroom.

"Hmmm...." She opened her eyes and looked up at me. "Oh good morning Noire, so glad your my wake up call and not Black Star."

"He almost was, you went to sleep with him last night." I set her on her bed and went to her closet and got out a t-shirt and a pair of pants along with her jacket and tossed them to her.

"T-thanks but what is the big hurry?"

"School silly." I giggled and grabbed her hairbrush and started brushing her hair out for her.

"Why are we going again?"

"Because Lord Death will hunt us down eventually if we don't." I grabbed her t-shirt from off the bed and looked at her. "Get dressed." I handed it to her and turned around. She got dressed and then walked past me to the bathroom. "What are you doing?"

"I have to pee." She walked in and closed the door. I ran out of the room and started waking everyone up who wasn't already up. When I got to the shipper's room, I froze and I could hear my heart beating really fast as I put my hand on Liz's doorknob. I took a deep breath and went in jumping on the Thompson Twin's bed and smiled cheerfully.

"COME ON GIRLS! UP AND AT EM!"

"What!"

"AHHHHH IT'S NOIRE!" Patti rolled out of bed.

"YEAH IT'S ME NOIRE!" I giggled. "Come on girls time for school!"

"Go away." Liz threw Patti's pillow at me. I dodged it and crawled up to Liz and laid down hugging her.

"You know you wanna get up Shipper." I whispered. "The ship has you right where she wants you and can exact her revenge."

"Noire. You may scare Patti but I am not scared." She rolled over looking away and pulled the covers over her head. I got out of bed and went over to Liz's speaker systems and put in Metallica and turned it up really loud to Enter Sandman.

"UP AND AT EM!" I shouted over the music.

"DAMN IT!" Liz got up and went over to the other room and Patti followed. I turned off the music and followed knowing that Maka and Tsubaki were in the other room as well. I walked in and leaned against the wall.

"Come on you four! It's time for school!" Liz had crawled into bed with Tsubaki and curled up under her covers and Patti was in the floor with a pillow. "Don't make me go get one of the Death Twins." I warned. "It's early and they haven't had breakfast yet." They all got up quickly and Liz waved her hands around.

"I'M UP!" She ran back to her room and Patti kept following her.

"OK GOOD! GET READY!" I giggled and looked at Tsubaki and Maka. "You are getting up as well right?"

"Yeah." Tsubaki started to get out her normal dress and Maka went through her dresser for her outfit.

"Ok!" I left the room and went back to Fade's room. I jumped onto her bed and smiled at her.

"Hey Noire." She waved at me as she was putting her converse on and was obviously done with the rest on her morning routine since that was the last thing she done, next was breakfast time.

"Pancakes?"

"Sure! Coffee sounds great." I smiled and left going downstairs to make pancakes for everyone and the Death Twins coffee. When I was done both Kid and Fade stumbled in.

"Right on time you two!" I smiled and slid their plates to them on the counter and their coffee cups.

"Thanks Noire!" Fade grabbed the plate and coffee and walked out to the dinning room and Kid followed arguing with her about them dressing a like continuing some argument they probably had while walking to the kitchen. I shook my head and smiled at them and sat down across from them and put my head down on the table thinking about what could happen today. I'm going back to school and Stein and Spirit are going to be there, not to mention Lord Death. "Hey Noire why do you look so down? Maybe we should just stay home."

"We've got to go sometime." I looked up at Fade.

"Your right." She shrugged and looked around. "I am going to miss this place!"

"We're coming back here though right?" I asked sitting up.

"Right, I am just saying I will miss being here all day almost." She giggled and drunk all her coffee after eating all the pancakes.

"Aw, you really like it here." I giggled. "Is it a boy or is it you just like this place?"

"Both?" She smiled and got up taking the dishes to the sink. I looked at Kid and raised my eyebrow in a questioning way and smiled at him.

"She's falling."

"You can't fall if you already fell." Kid smirked and leaned over the table kissing my head. I giggled and smiled at him.

"She's fallen for him then?"

"Is it not obvious?" He finished eating.

"Yeah....your right. She's really obvious. Black Star just needs to notice it better."

"Yeah." He got up and brought the cup with him as he walked over and sat down right by me and looked out the windows.

"Am I obvious like her?" I looked at him.

"Nope." He laughed and sipped on his coffee.

"Maybe it's just a people thing where they can't notice their own relationships as well but they notice others Johnny on the spot."

"Your right, that is what happens most the time." He held my hand.

"So....last night though." I giggled.

"Yes?" He chuckled and kissed my neck. "Don't say anything about it."

"Why not?"

"It is our little secret." He got up. "Want me to drive you to school or Fade?"

"Hmmmm...Can Fade come with us?"

"Yeah, I have to take Liz and Patti to I think.."

"NO you don't Dave is giving us a ride." Liz yelled from the kitchen as she grabbed her a pancake and ate it plain.

"Well, let's go. We're already ready." I stood up and grabbed Fade out of the kitchen and grabbed her bag and mine then dragged her out to Kid's car and put her in the back seat and climbed in the passenger seat as Kid got in the Driver's seat. Fade looked out the window as Kid drove us to school and had the radio on. After we got up the stairs and got to the door of our classroom, I started getting a bad feeling. "Fade.....I don't think we should be here."

"Come on nervous monkey." She pulled me into the classroom and waved at Stein. "Hey Stein thanks for the 32 stitches and a great week! Alaska was a blast." She pulled us over to our normal seats. I stared at Stein on edge in case he tried anything and the rest of the class filed in along with the gang and Spirit walked in as well. I shrunk down in my seat and put a book up in front of me.

"Hi class! I need the following students to report to the death room." Spirit began. "Death the Kid, Fade Death, Black Star, Tsubaki, Liz and Patti Thompson, Soul Eater Evans, Maka Albarn, and Noire Albarn." I shrunk down even lower when he said my name.

"HEY YOUR MISSING MY NAME!" Kyle said as he stood up.

"Sorry your not on the list Kyle."

"DAMN IT!" He sat back down. The rest of the class was whispering. I sat up a little as I heard my name circulating the classroom.

"DAMN IT SPIRIT!" I stood up. "YOU HAD TO CALL OUT LAST NAMES TOO!" I paled when I realized I gave away my position.

"DON'T TALK ABOUT MY NOIRE!" The Death twins stood up together at the same time and the class got quiet and all was heard was a pen dropping. I looked down at Stein and Spirit and closed the book on my desk.

"Come on you children." Spirit said casually and opened the door and who was called stood up going to the door and Fade dragged me with her. Just as we got close to Stein and Spirit, I got really scared and looked up at them. Stein was smirking.

"Your as white as a bed sheet Noire." He commented. I looked away quickly and kept walking.

"Noire...are you ok?" Fade asked as we reached the door and Spirit opened it and escorted us in.

"I have a bad feeling about this....." I whispered.

"I do to.." She whispered and slowed down when we walked through the door and took baby steps.

"That's a good idea." I whispered.

"HELLO HELLO!" Lord Death greeted and Fade stopped. I stopped with her and took a step back. I looked over at Lord Death and the gang was already up there greeting Lord Death.

"Something is going on." I whispered to her.

'Come on you two." We was grabbed from behind and pulled up to Lord Death by Stein.

"OH MY GOSH I WAS RIGHT SOMETHING IS GOING ON FADE! STEIN IS OUT OF CLASS!" I started to panic.

"Daddy what the world is going on?" Fade asked and pulled me behind her and Kid.

"Oh that's no way to great your dad Noire." Stein said. Spirit stood by Stein.

"Oh my god...Spirit has a ring on his finger." Fade pointed out and Maka's eyes widened. Stein blushed and looked away.

"Yeah.....A ring....."

"Dad!" Maka yelled.

"Look-" Spirit was cut off.

"HOW COULD YOU! You break mommys heart get a divorce, and then adopt a new daughter which is my best friend and then your getting married? WHEN THE HELL WAS YOU GOING TO TELL ME YOUR GAY? OR GETTING MARRIED? or adopting Noire, or adopting someone?"

"Look Maka, Spirit got engaged just last night and you've been gone since we adopted Noire because you all decided to have a slumber party somewhere the day we did it and no one has seen you since to tell you so it's not his fault." Stein said.

"Yeah baby girl! Daddy loves you very much! Daddy loves mommy to but she ditched daddy! It's not my fault honest...I loved her. Well now I am giving marriage another go with Stein, you can call him daddy now! Just like Noire will. Isnt it wonderful! You have a sister. Oh I know, you two come stay with Daddy and daddy's hubbie. Sound good? Daddy loves you!" I walked over to Maka and pulled her into a hug and glared at Spirit.

"No! We aren't going anywhere with you two." I said fiercely.

"You will or else." I let go of Maka and turned all the way to look at Spirit.

"No, you can't do anything." I put my hands on my hips.

"If you don't come home with us then you will be sent to live with Nick in the end." He handed me a paper that had Noire's contract on it. I fell to my knees in shock.

"Not another one.... I wasn't even here this time. Seriously? I'd be sent to Nick?" I looked up at Spirit and Stein.

"After going to court, yes. Nick would most likely win." Spirit shrugged. Damn.....I stood up and hugged myself and slowly walked over to Spirit trying not to regret it.

"O-ok.....I'll go with you then...."

"Read your new contract Noire." Stein said and pointed at the paper in my hand. I read over it and looked up at them.

"What happened to the old one?"

"I got rid of it and made a new one that all three of us could agree on that we seen fit best for us and you." Spirit told me. I nodded slowly and looked at Fade over my shoulder and mouthed the words sorry.

"WHAT DOES THE PAPER SAY!" Fade ran over to me and snatched it.

"AHHHAHAHAAA! IT'S A NEW SNATCH AND RUN!" Black Star cheered. Fade ran across the room being chased by Kid and they both read it. I watched their reaction to it and glanced at Stein and Spirit then went back to watching them.

"Ah!" Kid grabbed it and done the honor of ripping it in half before Fade could react. I looked at Lord Death, Spirit, and Stein for their reaction to Kid.

"Ha, he should know we have back up copies." Spirit whispered to Stein. Stein covered up Spirit's mouth.

"He don't need to know that. Let him think he won for the next.....2 minutes."

"What do you mean there are more then one copies?" Kid yelled as Fade had whispered to him something. "DADDY I NEED A FLAME THROWER LET ME OUT OF HERE SO I CAN GO FIND ETERNAL FEATHER!" I face palmed.

"Way to go Kid....just wow." I muttered.

"No can do kiddo, calm down your not going anywhere." Lord Death chuckled. I paled as something dawned on me. Too many emotions make Kid black out.....He needs to calm down now. I took a step towards Kid.

"Kid, calm down."

"Why?" He asked me and walked over to me.

"You don't like blacking out so you need to calm down before it happens."

"Oh okay." He hugged me and took in a deep breath before letting it out. "I am calm now."

"Good, now let me at those halves." I raced over to the halves of the contract and ripped it up even further.

"Oh my gosh... Do you not know that there are more copies to?" Fade asked.

"No I know, but I need to take my frustration out on something." I looked up at her and threw the shreds in the air and watched them fall to the ground.

"Hhahahaaa! It is snowing contract!" Fade joked. I giggled and looked up at Lord Death.

"Morning Lord Death."

"Good morning Noire!" Lord Death waved. "So everyone is dismissed."

"I have to go home with Stein and Spirit after class don't I?" I asked glancing at the two and then looked back at Lord Death.

"After training, yes."

"Ok." I kicked at the shreds and looked at Fade. "Well, it's only for a week and then I come back for five days again."

"Yeah, I read the contract..." She looked down at her shoes. I got an idea. 

"CAN FADE SPEND THE NIGHT FOR A WEEK?" I looked up at Lord Death and Spirit.

"No you are grounded for a week."

"What, why?" I pouted and walked up to Stein and Spirit.

"You ran from us." I sighed and hugged Spirit trying to make him change his mind.

"Pretty please?"

"Nope." Kid cracked his knuckles. "I mean it."

"DAMN IT!" Kid groaned. I smirked at Spirit and started tickling him.

"You know you can't resist it!" I giggled.

"I'm resisting it!" He yelled and fell to the ground. I followed him to the ground and put my head on my knees.

"Come on Spirit! Be awesome!" Stein cleared his throat.

"I have a class to teach, so everyone get to it." I looked up at Stein. Which one is easier to break? Spirit or Stein?  Probably the one on the floor. I looked at Spirit and hugged him.

"Please daddy?"

"AWE SO CUTE! FINE. You win." He got up. I giggled and ran over to Fade.

"Ok I won so you better come over."

"Okay  will come over just to get away from my crazy stalker over there."

"WHAT SWEETIE?" Black Star smiled at us. "FADE'S TALKING ABOUT ME YAHOOOO!" He ran to the door and Tsubaki followed him sighing.

"There's that yahoo again...." She mumbled.

"He didnt hear me, YES!" Fade cheered.

"OH I HEARD AND I ACCEPT PROUDLY." Black Star laughed.

"Your not going to try to crawl into the window will you?"

"NO! GO ENJOY A WEEK SO THAT WHEN YOU COME BACK WE BOTH MISS EACH OTHER! PLUS STEIN LIVES THERE SO NO...."

"Mkay- well. I lost that."

"WHAT SWEETIE? YOU WANT ME TO CRAWL THROUGH THE WINDOW?" Black Star turned around to look at us.

"N-nothing! keep going out the door Black Star!"

"NO I WANT A KISS NOW!" Black Star ran up to Fade and pulled her to him and gave her a kiss pushing her against the pillar.

"SHINIGAMI CHOP!" Lord Death hit Black Star on the head. "Don't touch my daughter like that in the death room."

"Oh Spirit! How about a good bye kiss?" Stein asked him. I turned around to see this. Stein and Spirit kissed and Lord Death watched.

"AWE!" Lord Death cheered.

"Look at what we have to look forward to." I whispered to Fade.

"Byes!" Fade yelled and ran out the door and down the hall. I sighed and looked around.

"Bye Lord Death!" I smiled sweetly up at him and ran out of the room after Fade. "WAIT UP SILLY!" I caught up to her and raced next to her down the hall.  She ran into the class room after passing Tsubaki. She screamed and backed up into me.

"NO! NOT SID!"

"AHHHHHH! IT'S SID!" I screamed and giggled putting Fade behind me. "I'LL PROTECT YOU!"

"Hello girls, take a seat and flip your text books open to page 390."

"WE'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU WE'VE READ THAT CHAPTER!" I yelled at him.

"Well read it again!" He threw a knife at us. Stein walked in.

"I relieve you of substitute duties Sid. Get out of my class." Stein walked to the middle of the room and sat down in his computer chair and watched us resting his head on the back of it as he sat in it backwards like always. Sid walked out of the class after picking his knife up. Fade walked over to the desk and picked up Steins laptop and walked over to her seat with it and sat down opening it up. "Fade." Stein warned.

"Shhhhh!" She said and smirked as she started doing something on it involving typing and clicking.

"Give me my laptop back." Stein stood up and walked up to her.

"No, you weren't using it!" She got up and ran across the room with it. "Snatch and run! put your hands up!"

"This is class Fade. I think I might have a dissection today." He smirked at Fade.

"Are we dissecting Spirit again?" Fade paled and then leaned against a window as she surfed the internet on the computer.

"I was thinking weapon or Shinigami." He glanced at me and I froze.

"You wont dissect my Noire/ your daughter, or I will throw this computer out the window."

"OH MY GOSH NOIRE IS STEIN'S DAUGHTER?!?" One of the students shouted. Everyone stared at me with wide eyes.

"That poor girl...." One of them said.

"Oh and you won't dissect me because Lord Death, Black Star, Kid, and Noire would kill you."

"Your right, I'm not going to dissect you." Stein grabbed the laptop from Fade and walked to his desk and set it down. "I would dissect Noire though. BUT sadly todays lesson is on soul resonance again."

"What about dissecting Noire?" Kid asked as he stepped into the class followed by the others.

"None of your business." Stein said going to his chalk board and started writing on it.

"Fine." He sat down as the others did including Fade. I sat down and stretched out a little. When class and the average everyday training was over, Spirit busted into the gym.

"Spirit! What are you doing here now?" Stein asked him.

"I am done with my work so I came to pick you up and Noire to. Fade I guess can come with." I paled and took a step back.

"Right now?"

"I guess not, just be home before five, okay?" Spirit walked over to Stein and pulled him to the doors.

"OK! FIVE IN THE MORNING RIGHT?" I laughed.

"No, five in the afternoon silly!"

"Tomorrow right?"

"TODAY! Quit testing your luck with me little lady."

"But your not near as scary as Stein can be."

"Imagine that Stein said it."

"I'd be on the floor dead by now."

"Can we change it to seven or nine?" Fade asked.

"SIX!"

"nine!"

"Seven!"

"DEAL!"

"RUN BEFORE HE CHANGES HIS MIND!" I grabbed Fade and ran past Stein and Spirit out the door and down the hall. She ran after me and we made it to the stairs. "Oh wait a minute.....Kid is our ride home." I looked behind me. "And he's taking his precious time."

"I have a magical skateboard that I can summon, remember?"

"Oh yeah! So where do you want to go?"

"I have a few things I need to get done today actually." She smiled and summoned her skateboard.

"Like?"

"Get a new phone and tires for us, maybe go dress shopping and a few other normal things then go see my dad and ask for somethings."

"FADE! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU." Lord Death ran up to us.

"Oh hi daddy! What do you need to talk to me about?" She sat her skateboard down and turned to look at him.

"About self defense if your spending the week with Noire at Stein's."

"Oh well I have a knife....I need to ask you something."

"Ask away darling."

"Want to meet up later for supper?"

"Sure, we can discuss Operation Kidnap Noire then too."

"Deal." She reached out and grabbed my hand as she stepped onto her skateboard. "I will ask what I need to ask then as well."

"Ok.....I don't like not knowing what you want when I know you want something but I guess I'll let you go." Lord Death walked off in the other direction back to the school. "At 6 ok?"

"Yeah okay!" Fade waved at him and turned to me.

"Operation Kidnap Noire?" I tilted my head and then transformed for her.

"I have no clue." She giggled and then skateboarded to the house. "We need to pack up."

"I'm gonna miss this place." I untransformed when she stopped and looked around.

"Just for one week." She muttered.

"So we are coming back here instead of going back to the Manor when the week is over? Stein and Spirit won't be able to babysit me like it said in the contr- YES! I FOUND A WAY OUT OF IT!"

"Exactly!" Fade threw her hands up in the air before walking upstairs to her room. I followed but stopped when I heard the front door open and two certain somebodies.

"RUN FOR IT FADE! HE'S HOME!" I ran up the stairs giggling.

"AH!" Fade closed the door and locked it.

"OH MY GOSH, HERE THEY COME." I looked behind me and saw Black Star and Kid running up the stairs.

"We're going to get you two!" They yelled and Fade screamed in horror.

"IT'S BLOODY MURDER!" I screamed and ran down the hall instead of going to my room so that way I could be where they had no idea.

"I AM GOING TO GET YOU FADE!" Black Star disappeared into my room as Kid kept running down the hall.

"I see you Noire!" He yelled.

"BUT I HAVE A HEAD START!" I ran into the study and shut the door locking it.

"No fair!" Kid said on the other side.

"What's the password?" I asked giggling.

"Please let me in?"

"That's not it." I leaned against the door.

"Open sesame?"

"THAT'S IT!" I unlocked the door and ran over to the desk putting it between me and the door.

"Noire?" He walked in and closed the door locking it then turned towards me.

"What is it?"

"Why did you run from me?"

"Because." I giggled and picked up a book on the desk and looked at it then set it down.

"Because?"

"You'd run if our roles were switched wouldn't you?"

"Nope." I gasped.

"Really?"

"Really."

"So you'd let me catch you?"

'Yes." He got real close to me and smiled.

"Well this desk is good for nothing then." I smiled at him. "So you've caught me now."

"Now the prince gets a kiss before he lets the princess go." He leaned in to kiss me. I met him halfway and backed him up against the wall and kissed his neck. "Thanks for the kiss back." He whispered.

"Aw, so cute." I smiled at him but didn't let him go.

"Now don't you have things to do like pack?"

"Wish I didn't. Do you think Black Star is letting Fade pack? No, he's not. I can hear Fade yelling at him from upstairs."

"Well you better be happy I am letting you go pack."

"Yeah, I should be."

"So go pack up and I will see you in school tomorrow."

"Bye then." I backed up and walked out of the study going to my room and started packing my stuff and Fade's. Fade walked in casually with a bottle of water.

"Oh your packing for me?"

"Well Black Star got you so yes."

"Only for a few seconds and now he is busy finding his dignity."

"You do that to him a lot."

"Yeah, and it's okay because well...because it is."

"I applaud your reasoning." I clapped slowly. "Anyways here's your stuff for a week. I left the rest of it alone so that way you don't have to unpack as much."

"Thanks." She smiled and got her purse. "Are you coming with me to run some errands to?"

"Yeah, it's either that or go get caught by Kid when he realizes I'm done."

"Okay, let's go." She walked out and down to her car that had new tires.

"So what are we doing? What errands?" I climbed in the passenger seat.

"We are getting me a new phone, you new tires, and then we are going shopping and around six we are going to the manor to eat dinner with my dad."

"I get to come along to that?" I pulled out a phone that I had been saving as a back up phone for Fade and handed it to her.

"Oh thanks. Well that just leaves the other things to do now."

"Well let's go do that."

~Tons of Shopping~

Fade pulled up to the manor and I stared at it wondering what was going to happen. She got out and shut the door and walked up to the front door opening it and looked over her shoulder for me. I got out and ran up to her quickly and smiled. "Well here goes nothing." I said.

"Yeah, this should be fun." She walked in and looked around. "Dad?" She asked and Lord Death appeared out of the kitchen with a pot in his hands filled with wild rice.

"If you tell anyone I cooked- HEY Noire came to. Hi Noire! As I was saying if you two tell anyone I cooked for you two over this conversation we will have I w-"

"What's for supper?" Fade asked as she pulled me to the kitchen, the manor seemed off. "What did you do to this place anyways?"

"I did some remodeling while you was away." Lord Death followed us in. "Fish, mixed veggies and wild rice." He told us. "Peas and carrots I mean as mixed veggies."

"My favorite!" I looked at Fade when she said that.

"Now I know what to make for you later then...."

"I just love food in general because it makes me feel full."

Fade's p.o.v.

As we sat down at the dinner table Lord Death fixed our plates and sat them down in front of us. He sat down and then looked dead at me. "So what is it you need to ask me?"

"I was wondering if Noire and I could have another mission." I asked sweetly.

"Another mission?!?" Noire looked at me with wide eyes. "Oh yeah....Please excuse me but I have something to go do for a minute." She stood up and left the room pulling out her phone.

"You can have a mission in France with your brother."

"What is it?"

"Just terminate the Kishin I tell you to. It's not that hard is it? You seemed to do well on the last one, but I would feel better if you took Kid with you. No missions by yourself till you're....20."

"WHAT! Dad why don't you trust Noire and I we are really good. Kyle and Cori didn't do anything but get hit and knocked out on a rock."

"That's why you aren't taking those two."

"Okay...So I have to take my really weird twin with me...Why cant I just take Thomas and Alexander?"

"Because I know that Thomas was that boy you raced in the streets. I don't need you being reckless."

"Dang it." I looked down. "Okay I will take Kid." Noire came back and sat down.

"So.....what happened?"

"We have to take Liz, Patti, and Kid with us on our mission to France."

"Oh....why not Soul and Maka? They would be cooler and those two don't hit on us." Noire looked at Lord Death.

"Because A) He is your coach in training, B) He is a great meister, and C) He wont let anything happen to you two plus this is his mission and your mission is to tag along and learn a few things like you was doing on your first mission even though you took it over and made their mission yours and so on."

"So we are tag alongs? Why can't we have our own mission? That'd be pretty cool." Noire smiled at Lord Death.

"I will make you a deal, the next mission you take you can have it all to yourself."

"OK DEAL." Noire looked back at her food and took a bite.

"Thanks dad!" I smiled. I started eating as my dad started to eat.

"So.....Fade, I found out where that soul went."

"Where did it go?"

"After Kid drugged me in Alaska, he found it in my pocket and put it up in his room and forgot about it."

"That seems like something he would do, forget."

"Yeah, so I need to go back and take it from him before we go to Stein's so I don't have to go to court again."

"I hope he don't mind if we show up late." I giggled. Noire paled and took another bite.

"You don't know how scary he can be.....but it was SPIRIT who said that we had to be there by seven not Stein so why would he care?"

"I don't know.." I started eating.

"I might as well show up late. I'm probably still in trouble anyways." Noire finished eating and sat back.

"We probably wont make it in time, so dad. What is operation steal Noire?"

"It's Operation KIDNAP Noire, not Operation Steal Noire." Lord Death corrected.

"Sorry, so what is it?"

"Well....look at it this way, Stein and Spirit eventually have to go to bed. Just sneak off then and come back before they wake up. That way you two can do more without them watching you constantly. Guess it's not really a kidnap but it might turn into one eventually if Kid finds Noire when you two sneak off."

"Great idea daddy, Noire we are going to sneak off tonight."

"Wait what?"

"Yeah, we will sneak off as soon as those two fall asleep."

"And go where?"

"Anywhere we want to, we could go here or to the party house."

"I wouldn't suggest anywhere where Kid is or it might be bad." Lord Death cut in.

"Okay. So how about here then?"

"Ok." Noire smiled at me.

"What day is the mission?" I asked.

"It's going to happen tomorrow I believe. During school too."

"YES WE ARE SKIPPING SCHOOL! GET OUT OF SCHOOL FREE CARD!" I threw my hands up in the air.

"And the mission is a two day mission so there." Lord Death said happily. "You get two days in France and then you come back."

"I am going to love this!" I gave Noire a high five.

"For all I care, you can go shopping there too." Lord Death said.

"We will, trust me, we will."

"Don't go nuts over there."

"I promise I wont."

"Good. Is that all you wanted Fade?" Lord Death asked.

"Yeah I think so."

"Ok, well....good luck over there."

"Thanks dad."

"OH. GO CHECK OUT YOUR ROOM AND TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT." Lord Death stood up and started walking off. "You two Noire."

"Come on Noire." I got up and grabbed her hand pulling her up to our room only to see one door on our wall. "N-noire."

"Wh- oh.....is this what I think this is?" Noire looked at me.

"Um..." I opened up the door and walked in to see it was now our room and the wall that split us was gone. Noire followed and her eyes widened.

"Whoa.....this is really big now."

"I never thought this would happen..." I giggled and then walked in to our master bathroom and then into the two closets that branched off of it, one for Noire and then I. Noire laid down on the bed and curled up. I walked back in to her. "I LOVE IT!" I climbed up onto the bed and laid down on my stomach looking at Noire. "My dad must have been really bored while we were gone."

"Must have.....He gets us. Look, only one bed." She smiled and pulled me to her.

"Finally!" I laughed and hugged her.

"And he made the room asymmetrical like your old bedroom before he did this."

"Yeah I see that." I smiled and rolled over onto my back and looked around, then I seen it. "HE GOT US A TV IT'S SO HUGE!" I pointed at a 60 inch TV. Noire looked.

"That's cool, he gave us the one that was in the living room. Guess he got a different one for there."

"Wow, I think this is him begging us to come back home...It might be a tie breaker....Is it?"

"Dunno." Noire got up and left the room. "LORD DEATH!"

"Yes!?!" I got up with her and followed her downstairs into Lord Death's study.

"Are you lonely?" Noire asked him.

"YES I MISS MY LITTLE DEATH TWINS AND THEIR WEAPONS SO MUCH!"

"AW HE MISSED US FADE!" Noire hugged Lord Death.

"AW DADDY!" I hugged Lord Death as well and that's when Noire's phone went off. Noire's eyes widened and she took the phone out and froze when she saw who it was.

"Oh no....." She gulped and looked at me. "We're screwed." She answered it and put it on speaker phone setting it down on Lord Death's desk. "Hello?"

"NOIRE. WHERE ARE YOU AND WHY HAVE YOU NOT CAME HOME? IT IS TWO MINUTES AFTER SEVEN."

"Calm down daddy. I've been very busy and I am trying to wrap some of it up." Noire said calmly.

"Yeah, relax we will be there before nine." I ensured.

"Yeah, what Fade said Spirit." She said quickly.

"You better be here before seven thirty."

"But I've got some stuff to do like go get my stuff back from Kid."

"You have until seven thirty, or else your definitely grounded."

"She cant get grounded we have a mission to do tomorrow."

"Yeah Spirit. I've got a mission tomorrow, so you can't ground me." Noire smiled.

"Well I will ground you after the mission then." I paled.

"From what?" Noire stood up a little straighter.

"Your life outside of school and home."

"OH MY GOSH. I'LL BE HOME BEFORE SEVEN THIRTY. RIGHT FADE?"

"Were wasting precious minutes right now Noire!" I panicked.

"Say bye to Lord Death Spirit. We're going to hang up now." Noire said.

"Bye you three!" I took the phone pressing the red button and then grabbed Noire's wrist.

"BYE DADDY! I ENJOYED THE SUPPER!" I pulled Noire outside to the car.

"What do we do Fade!?! Kid's got that Kishin soul and we've got to be back by seven thirty. WHERE THE HELL EVEN IS THE HOUSE?!?" Noire climbed into the car quickly.

"Text Spirit for the address and we will reason with Kid when we get there." I handed her phone to her and got in the car speeding off to the party house. Noire looked at her phone and texted him quickly.

"It's near DWMA." She sighed.

"Great...I think."

"Well, time to be a speed demon I guess." Noire buckled up and put her phone up.

"Hey look on the bright side, tomorrow and the next day we will be in france and not at Stein and Spirit's."

"And it counts too. The contract said they have a week before I go back to Lord Death so that leaves them 4 days."

"Right." I nodded and pulled up to the party house. "I need to learn to slow down."

"No time right now." Noire got out of the car and ran up to the house. I grabbed the bags and ran inside as well and then up to my bedroom and put them down grabbing our bags we packed and threw them over my shoulder going up to Kid's room right behind Noire. Noire busted into Kid's room without knocking. "We need it Kid."

"What?" Kid looked up at us as he sat in the floor writing in his shinigami diary and closed it. "You cant have my diary."

"I don't want that. Not right now at least. I'm on a timer and I need the soul you took when you drugged me."

"OHHHH!" Kid got to his feet and went over to his dresser and pulled it out handing it over to Noire. "There you girls go."

"Thanks Kid. Bye!" Noire started walking to the door fast. Kid pulled her to him and kissed her before letting her go.

"I love you, see you tomorrow."

"Love you too. OH. You've got tag alongs tomorrow for your mission. Lord Death wanted you to know." Noire backed up to the door.

'Yeah I know, he told me." Kid sat back down in the floor.

"He beat us to it then. Dang it. Waaaaaaiit, is that your diary?" Noire paused.

"Nope." He made it disappear in his hands. I giggled and grabbed Noire by the hand and tugged her to me.

"Come on before we end up late and Spirit murders us for it!"

"OH YEAH." Noire pulled me back outside and got in the car and buckled up. I got in throwing the bags into the back seat and then speed away to Spirit and Stein's house. Noire poked her Kishin soul that she got back. "Guess I need to eat it before I lose it for good."

"You probably should." I stopped at a red light. Noire picked up the soul and started eating it.

"They feel so good even though they don't really taste like anything!" Noire said savoring it.

"Ewe, I can't watch." I looked away. "Oh the horror!"

"What horror?" Noire asked.

"Your eating something tasteless."

"It has texture. I think I know how they scare little kids into being good." She giggled and kept eating it.

"That is what my dad tried to pull."

"What? He'd get Spirit to eat your soul? That's kind of creepy. Soul's name though....fits."

"No, I mean my dad scared me saying that I need to be good or my soul would be eaten."

"You have to be a Kishin for that though." Noire whispered. "Well, I'm done Fade. You can look now." I looked at her just as the light turned green. "Souls are so good....."

"Ewe." I laughed and then speed off down the road.

"Not ewe. It's amazing." Noire giggled. "One of the perks of being a weapon."

"I guess so." I laughed.

"And then I can transform when I'm falling and save myself." She stretched out a little.

"Your lucky.."

"I am. I've got the best meister in the world."

"You got that right." Noire giggled.

"I better have."

"Yeah?"

"So nice to me."

"I am the best meister." I giggled.

"Thanks for coming with me to Stein and Spirit's."

"No problem, I was going to anyways."

"Turn right up here."

"Okay." I slowed down to turn. "We are going to make it."

"I hope." She sighed and then froze. "That's it right there! This one!" Noire pointed to one of the houses.

"Nice." I turned in as they both stepped out onto the porch. Noire tensed up and pulled out her phone checking the time and then let out a big breath.

"We made it. It's seven twenty nine."

"YES!" I gave Noire a high five.

"Do you think they are mad?" She asked quietly as she unbuckled.

"We have a good escuse, my dad distracted us." I giggled and unbuckled then got out.

"That's true." Noire got out and walked up to them. I got our bags and then followed her up to them.

"WELCOME HOME NOIRE!" Stein said and held his arms open. I paled.

"H-hi Stein." Noire said and glanced at me.

"Oh hi girls." Stein held the door open and we all went inside. "Your rooms are upstairs."

"Oh ok." Noire nodded. "So...um...this is a little weird...."

"Yeah..." I whispered.

"I am going to make breakfast in the morning ok?" Spirit asked.

"If you want to, I could go ahead and do that myself." Noire said.

"No no. You focus on being a teen."

"That's not what you said when you called me." Noire muttered.

"Oh well."

"You DO know what being a teen is right? There is a big stereotype on them."

"I was one myself once. So I know everything." Noire started walking past me to the stairs.

"Being a teen includes running off in the middle of the ni-" I tripped her to make her shut up and smiled innocently at her then widened my eyes putting a finger on my lips.

"Shhhhhh!"

"I mean being a teen includes having a very big social life sometimes." Noire stood up rubbing her head wincing. I grabbed her and pulled her upstairs.

"GOOD NIGHT!"

"Night Stein and Spirit." Noire slammed the door behind us and stretched then glared at me. I looked around the room and then sat the clothes down and laid out on the bed. "Meanie."

"Sorry Noire I had to do something." She stayed silent for a few seconds then went over to the desk in her room and grabbed a very sharp pencil from the pencil holder and turned to me. I sat up quickly and then got out of bed. "Wait a minute lets talk about this." Noire turned off the light and crawled into bed putting the pencil underneath her pillow keeping her hand on it.

"This isn't for you. It's incase those two downstairs get an idea to come up here."

"Oh." I blushed and then got back into bed closing my eyes.

"What did you think I was going to do? Stab you?"

"I have no clue honestly."

"Are we really going to sneak off?" She asked quietly.

"Not tonight because now they will be watching."

"Well, stay here." Noire got out of bed taking the pencil with her and left the room then came back with a glass of water. "Much better." I get out a sigh of relief.

"God, what are you on? Your period, sugar, coffee, drugs, or- definitely a soul."

"A Kishin soul doesn't impair your judgment. I suggest you arm yourself as well. I saw some scalpels lying around downstairs." Noire got into bed setting the water on her nightstand. I got up and pushed the dresser in front of the door and then crawled into bed with Noire.

"There."

"Stein knows other ways probably but if you feel comfortable without a weapon- oh wait....what am I?"

"I have you so I feel safe." I admitted and then curled up.

"I'll always protect you ok?" Noire pulled me to her and wrapped her arms around me.

"Of course! You are the only weapon I want."

"Besides soulless kitchen knifes, machetes, pocket knifes, pistols, and sharp pencils." Noire listed for me.

"Right."

"Well at least you admitted that."

"Their soulless though so I don't really care for them."

"I just counted my blessings that being number one on the list." Noire giggled.

"Your number one alright." I hugged her.

"Thanks Fade." Noire whispered. Then that's when we heard Spirit yelling at Stein.

"Oh lord." I giggled.

"Listen.....Stein is on the move." Noire whispered.

"We will be fine."

"I'm worried for Spirit really. He's down there with Stein, babysitting him."

"He is a good babysitter so we wil- die possibly."

"Let's hope Spirit wins if that's what I think is going on down there."

"I hope he does." I listened in closely to the conversation they was screaming at each other currently.

"SPIRIT GET BACK HERE! WAIT, STAY IN THERE."

"YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH OUR DAUGHTER OR FADE BECAUSE I AND LORD DEATH WILL BE ANGRY!"

"YEAH....STAY IN THERE OK?"

"NO!"

"NO! GO AWAY SPIRIT!"

"WHY?"

"BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU!"

"WHAT AM I DOING THEN?"

"I DON'T KNOW BUT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP ME."

"DONT TOUCH THEM! YOUR RIGHT I AM STOPPING YOU."

"SCARY SPIRIT IS AFTER ME!" I stopped listening finding it weird. Noire's face was priceless.

"I told you.....I told you we needed to arm ourselves."

"It is only for one night and then four more days after France." I told myself.

"I've got to leave you every weekend for this though." Noire reminded me.

"Technically you could just ask Stein and Spirit for freedom away from them to do what you want like spend the night with me."

"That's true." We heard a crash downstairs and Noire sat up ramrod straight. "Oh no....Do you think it was Stein or Spirit who fell?"

"I hope it was Stein."

"I hope so too." Noire looked around her room. "Want me to go look? I can use an excuse for getting up and I'll take Mr. Sharp with me." Noire held up her pencil.

"Let's not take the chance."

"I'll be ready though if it's Spirit who fell.... If Stein come up here..." Noire stared at the door.

"Let's go together." I got out of bed. "We will sneak down the hall and look over the railing."

"You sure?" Noire got up and went over to the dresser and moved it.

"Yes." I helped her move the dresser and then cracked the door open slowly.

"Well, let's go then." Noire snuck down the hall and peeked over the railing and gave me a thumbs up without looking at me. I was currently halfway down the hall and I walked over and looked over the railing to. Stein was laying on the ground and Spirit was sitting on top of him pinning his hands above his head. Holly cow, Spirit won?  I backed up slowly pulling Noire with me. Noire pulled away and looked again, her eyes wide.

"Noire come on before we get caught." I whispered.

"How did he win though?" Noire whispered back.

"I have no clue." I kept my voice low.

"LET ME GO SPIRIT." Stein struggled to get up.

"NEVER! YOU WILL NOT TOUCH THEM! YOUR MINE."

"OH MY GOSH. I WON'T GO UPSTAIRS. LET ME GO...." Stein had paled.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU."

"I SWEAR ON OUR LOVE."

"Okay." Spirit let go and I grabbed Noire tugging her back to the room.

"FREEDOM!" I heard some running footsteps and a door slam downstairs. Noire backed up into me.

"Wow...men." I whispered.

"Should we be scared of Stein or Spirit?" Noire whispered to me.

"I can't decide on who..."

"Oh dear.....let's go hide in my room in case one of them gets the idea to check on us. With all that yelling, Spirit might think that we heard-" I heard footsteps coming to the stairs. Noire gasped. "We better run."

"Right." I grabbed her and ran into her room with soft foot steps and shut the door behind us and jumped into the bed. Noire quickly followed and put the pencil under the pillow. I shut my eyes pulling the covers over us and played possum. The door cracked open and Spirit walked in and over to the bed and sighed.

"Good. We didn't wake them." He whispered as he tucked us in. I bit my bottom lip as I heard him turn around and walk out closing the door behind him.

"Oh THANK GOD." I sat up after hearing him walk off from the door and down the stairs. Noire was shaking as she clutched the blanket.

"So close...."

"I think I just seen my life flashed before me Noire." I joked and laid back.

"You see your wedding with Black Star?" Noire giggled.

"No."

"You sure?"

"Y-yes."

"I think the universe already planned your wedding out."

"Curse it."

"Don't curse the universe! One day they'll make Black Star ask you to marry him."

"When did the universe become more then one?"

"Since they became a shipper."

"AHHHHHH!" I rolled off the bed into the floor and up under the bed.

"Shhhhh. Spirit will come back up here if you don't be quiet."

"Mkay." I giggled.

"I wonder....do you think the universe actually has a little influence in our lives."

"No way the universe does..." I shook my head.

"Get back in-" The door burst open.

"OH MY GOSH I'VE BEEN TRICKED." Spirit walked in.

"Run for your life Noire!" I yelled and giggled.
