Eat A Soul

Noire's p.o.v.

Joshie leaned over me as he placed a hand on my cheek and leaned in giving me a soft kiss. I leaned into the kiss and kissed him back. Something inside of me quietly protested trying to scream this was wrong, all wrong, but it was only a whisper and was soon squashed by something else. He straddled my lap and started kissing me deeper. He pressed me closer and then we were interrupted by guys storming into the room and loud music started playing as blurry green bottles and stuff was being passed around. He climbed off and handed me a brownie. "Eat this."

"Hmm?" I took it from him and looked up at him lost.

"Your taste buds will explode."

"Oh....I don't want them to explode. I want them to live so I can taste strawberries later."

"Cravings for strawberries?"

"Dunno.....Why don't you eat this?" I held it up to him.

"Sure, watch me." He took a bite and gave it back to me.

"I don't want it. You eat all of it."

"Sure." He ate it all and then pulled me to my feet. "Let me take you somewhere to lay down at, and get some rest."

"Like sleep?"

"Of course!"

"Oh ok."

"How old are you again?"

"Seventeen." I yawned and leaned against him.

"Come on." He picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the room that had music jamming in it.

"Where we going again master Joshie?"

"To my bedroom."

"Oh ok. That's cool.....Do you like Host Club?"

"Host Club? What's that?"

"It's anime....You DO know what anime is right?" I looked up into his brown eyes.

"Not really. I don't watch that stuff. I don't have time to."

"Why not?" I tilted my head.

"I am too busy ruling over my kishin empire with Antonio."

"Whoa.....how big is this empire of yours?"

"Two points off from a hundred now that Fade and you joined it."

"So you had 96 kishins before?" I looked up at him. Wasn't there something I was looking for that had something to do with 96?

"Yes, now 98."

"But me and Fade aren't exactly Kishins yet....." I mumbled.

"You soon will be."

"Oh ok, that's cool." I giggled. "Are we the only two girls in your empire or something? All I see are a bunch of guys...."

"There are only a few girls and they don't show up personally around here. Tomorrow they will."

"They aren't your pets too are they?" I started getting worried that I wasn't the only one, and that he had others.

"Your my only one." We entered a bedroom and he sat me down on the bed then locked the door. "Tomorrow we are all having an epic get together and we will all feast on souls. You two will become kishins then."

"I love souls." I closed my eyes and curled up happily.

"Good." He said as he got into the bed with me and held me close. "Your my little pet now."

"Huh? Ok, as long as I'm the only one." I turned around to look at him and gave him a kiss on his cheek then on his neck.

"You are the only one, I assure you."

"Ok, I'm fine with it then." I giggled against his neck and kissed him again there. He moved back.

"What are you some kind of vampire or something?"

"No....If you want me to be one then I will...." I looked at him. What's wrong? I just felt that kissing his neck was right.....Didn't I used to do that to somebody before? No, it's been him and only him.

"Now when you wake up in the morning what should I give you to eat?"

"Well, Fade will want pancakes with chocolate chips in them....and I usually have...how funny....I forgot what I usually eat...Just give me oatmeal tomorrow ok?" I looked into his brown eyes again.

"I will give you a five star breakfast tomorrow."

"Ok." I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around him. "Hey....I'm sowwie about earlier."

"It's fine. I am impressed you didn't give up so fast.."

"You don't want me to give up? Well I can give you that." I smirked.

"I never said I wanted that. I can just chain you to my bed if you are thinking about leaning to death instead of joining my empire."

"Why would I want to die? I already died once."

"You did?"

"I did, some brat tried to kill me then I drank some magic potion and- huh?" I sat up a little. Waaaaaait a minute. Death. Death the Kid.....but who is he again and what is he to me? I'll find out tomorrow. I laid back down. It's too much work for right now.

"Are you ok? Those drugs sure are making you act so funny."

"What was that? What do you mean I'm acting funny?" I frowned at him.

"Oh nothing!!!" He chuckled.

"No, you said something." I looked at him again. I could have sworn this cute guy said something. He rolled onto me and pinned my wrists over my head and looked me straight in the eyes.

"I want to know everything about you, don't lie to me. Who are you? Noire or Nim?"

"Noire, but sometimes I go by Nim to mess with people."

"Uh-huh. What is your real last name?"

"The one before or after I was adopted?"

"Uh....after?"

"Albarn."

"God...why does that name sound so familiar?"

"Oh? It might be because that last name is really popular over in America. A lot of people have the last name Albarn. It's possible you met another Albarn at some point." I shrugged.

"Probably..." He thought it over.

"Anything else you want to know?"

"So Natasha is Fade? What is her last name?"

"Why are we talking about Fade?" I frowned.

"I am just curious."

"Lets talk about you Joshie. How old are you out of curiousity?"

"Answer my question first."

"Promise you won't be mad?"

"I wont be mad."

"Promise you wont kill her? Or Antonio? Promise to keep her last name a secret? It's a very powerful last name."

"Oh? Now I am curious about her name. I promise I will not kill her or Antonio. Why would I even kill him or her? I also promise to keep her last name a secret."

"I meant that I want you to promise not to let Antonio kill her if he finds out."

"Antonio and I will not kill or harm her personally."

"Ok, now I want you to promise that you won't order her harmed or killed. I know how this works."

"Fine, you have my word."

"Her last name is Death."

"D-d-d....Death?!?"

"See why I had you promise?" I looked up at him sadly.

"SHE IS FADE DEATH????????"

"Yeah.....I believe so....Unless someone switched the twins out on me."

"There is two of them?"

"Yeah two."

"Oh god, I thought Death the Kid was another name for her..."

"No, that's her brother."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaa. Wait... Your Noire her weapon."

"Maybe...." I mumbled. "Did you hear about Fade before somewhere?"

"It is my duty to." He smirked. "You two have been talked about amongst my men."

"Did you have a guy up in Alaska at some point that you lost contact with or was he a loner?"

"I did loose a guy." He got up and moved across the room and came back cuffing me to the bed. "Now that I know who you are I wont take any chances. We will have to kill you off tomorrow."

"You'll let Fade go right? Like let her go back home to DWMA?"

"PTF, NO!"

"You aren't going to kill her too are you?"

"Death for Fade Death."

"Oh, your that kind of guy." I glared at him. Don't he know by now not to piss me off? I bit the shit out of him and I feel like doing it again. Put your hand near me again and see what happens! He walked over and put tape over my mouth getting smart and searched my hair for bobby pins and got them out then searched my pockets as well and got everything out. He glanced over my body and smirked as he looked back into my eyes.

"Thank you for the information."

"Mh funmh hpmh ymph." Translation: I f****ing hate you.

"Rest well." He walked out and cut the lights out on me. I'm sorry Fade.....That's the last time I take cookies from strangers. Even if I asked for them....actually, it really is the last time if I'm dying tomorrow. Hmmmmm. No, I'm not dying anytime soon. I closed my eyes and transformed into a sword falling to the bed and untransformed, free now. I got up and went over to the door, opening it and peeked out into the hallway. I couldn't see Joshua at all, so I decided to wander the halls looking for his Kishin ass to murder him.

Fade's p.o.v.

Joshua came into the room and looked at me as Antonio looked up at him from beside me. I looked between them a bit worried as to what was happening. Where is Noire? Did she eat too many cookies? "Antonio? We need to talk." Joshua looked at him.

"Sure. Want to talk out in the hall?" Antonio asked.

"No, nobody else needs to hear this and she's so drugged it won't matter." He pointed at me. I'm drugged? What does that mean????

"Alright. What is it?"

"You are currently in bed with Lord Death's daughter that's what."

"WHAT! YOU TOLD ME A LIE FADE? YOU TOLD ME YOUR LAST NAME IS BLACK! YOU DIDNT SAY DEATH!!!!"

"Well the other girl told me all about how this one is Fade Death, Death the Kid's sister. Apparently, Nim aint her real name, and this one isn't called Natasha either."

"Can I have a cookie?" I asked innocently.

"No, be quiet. So what your saying is....we are in deep. So...what should we do with them? We don't know how to kill a shinigami..."

"True...and Noire was pretty cool until I found out.....We could.....turn them into Kishins and keep them? We were going to make them kishins anyways after we decided not to kill them the first time."

"Great idea, a shinigami on our side...perfect! Let's turn them immediately."

"Alright, I'll go get the souls out of the kitchen and be right back. Which one are we doing first?"

"Fade first, then her dangerous weapon."

"Ok cool." He left the room leaving me with Antonio.

"I cant eat a soul. I am not a weapon."

"Yes, you can. How do you think I became a kishin?" Antonio looked at me. "Don't worry my little honey flower, soon you'll join the dark side and be with me forever."

"I'm not sure I want to be with you, your trying to make me into something I am not. Dad told me to stay away from guys like you. He also said it is bad to eat souls."

"Forget daddy. He can't save you now." Antonio smirked. "I'm sure you will find the kishin life a lot more....." he looked me over then straight in my eyes, "simpler."

"I want to leave." I sat up quickly.

"What about the cookies?" He pouted and held up a cookie. "There is more from where this came from."

"COOKIES????????????" I snatched the cookie from him and ate it. "OKAY IF YOU SAY SO! I'll stay. NOW GIVE ME MORE!!!!"

"Alright boo boo kitty." He laughed and gave me a box of cookies. I laid down onto my back and started eating them as I placed the box onto my stomach.

"One cookie, two cookies....num num num,,,,three cookies.....four cookies.....five cookies-"

"I GOT THEM!" Joshua came back in with an armful of blue souls.

"Six cookies.....seven cookies. THERE HA IN YOUR FACE KID!" I looked over at Joshua. "Why do you have those blue glowing things that are a circle?"

"Because they are...." he looked at the cookie box, "um....SPECIAL COOKIES that Antonio asked me to get you." He smiled at me and came over to me.

"How stupid do you think I am? I don't eat the eighth cookie."

"But this is a different kind of cookie so it would technically be the first of them." He handed me one.

"This isn't a cookie." I observed the soul. "It is a soul. A blue soul...I cannot and will not eat this." Joshua laughed evilly and looked at Antonio.

"Oh yes she will....I want to keep Noire. Get her to eat them Antonio. She's your pet."

"Mkay Joshua. Shouldn't you go check on your pet....She is a weapon and all."

"Oh I chained her to my bed. I'm sure she didn't go anywhere."

"Oh I am sure she did go somewhere. She can change into a weapon and escape that way. Good luck." Joshua paled.

"W-what? No....she's on drugs.....She wouldn't be able to transform in her state right?" He looked at me then at Antonio.

"Hey Antonio...I am pretty sure the drugs are wearing off on me."

"That's why I had you eat more cookies Fade." He smiled at me and pulled me closer to him. "I renewed the drugs on you."

"DAMN YOU." I pouted and threw the soul at him then the cookie box and that grabbed the pillow as I crawled up onto his lap and started to smother him. He laughed on the other side of the pillow then pushed me onto my back, turning the tables.

"I like it. Fiesty."

"Your not the only one." I muttered. Who else likes me.....hmmmm.....my daddy likes me right? Who's my dad again?

"Alright well, I really think you should eat this blue cookie. Don't you want it? I swear they are absolutely fantastic." Antonio grabbed the soul and dangled it in front of my face.

"I AM NOT EATING IT! IT HAS NO TASTE SO DONT EVER ASK ME OF THAT AGAIN!!!!!" I kneed him between his legs.

"Y-yes ma'am." He got out before curling up in pain.

"Well then. I'm going to leave you and your pet alone, and go check on mine. If her drugs are wearing off, Noire's might be as well." Joshua started heading to the door after leaving three more souls on the nightstand, taking the rest with him.

"Those poor souls...I should definitely give them to my dad after I kill you all." I looked over at Antonio.

"Fade darling? Will you come lay down next to me please? I won't make you eat them ok?" He looked up from me from his little bubble of pain.

"Sure." I laid down next to him and watched him. "Have you found your dignity yet?"

"Working on it." He smiled weakly at me then pulled me closer to me. "Wouldn't you rather stay with me than kill me and go back to a boring life in DWMA where you have to take tests and read textbooks?"

"I wont even be going back to that. After I leave here I will be close to graduating. Dad just has to make it official with words."

"Hmm....but wouldn't you rather stay here, have me wait on your every whim, and love me in return or would you rather go back to Death City and live a life of duty instead of a life of ease?"

"Uh...." I looked confused. Why the hell is he asking me this? What is his point? I don't even know what all he asked.

"Never mind. How about you go to sleep while I make sure that tomorrow will be the best day of your life?"

"Um....sure." I closed my eyes and curled up. I felt him get up and leave after locking the door behind him. I sat up and looked around the room then pulled out a bobby pin from in my pants and walked over to the door. That's when I heard him giving instructions to one of his servants to guard the door and let no one in but him and Joshua and no one out with the threat of being demoted if he did. I tightened my grip on the bobby pin and listened for his footsteps walk away. I reached into my boots and pulled out a simple pocket knife and shrugged going to the door. Always be prepared. I heard him walk away and heard the guy- he sounded huge by the way his foot hit the floor- step in front of the door and lean against it. I put my weapon back into my boot and my bobby pin into my hair and moved the dresser into the front of the door. Above the door is a small air vent beg enough for me to go through. I got onto the dresser and opened up the vent and jumped up into it trying to be quiet. The door burst open and I was yanked out off the air vent and thrown hard onto the bed and the big guy walked over to me with a gag and chains then chained me to the bed and put the gag in my mouth. He smirked at me then went back outside and leaned against the closed door again. "F***" I screamed but it sounded more like fmnh. I kicked around the bed and sighed closing my eyes and waited for Antonio but I passed out with in a minute.

Noire's p.o.v.

I was quietly sneaking through the halls and felt absolutely fine, realizing the drugs had worn off. "NOIRE! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!" I heard Joshua yelling. My heart sped up and I ducked into a supply closet and curled up into a ball on the floor, hoping he would pass this room by. The door flung open and he looked directly towards me. "There you are."

"Leave me alone please!" I started crying and hugged my knees trying to create a defense. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet then down the hall into his room again.

"I want you to eat something."

"N-no, you'll drug me again!" I tried to pull away from him and get his hand off me with my own.

"Exactly." He pushed me back onto his bed and handed me a cookie." Here eat this or I will make you." I shook my head and tried to keep back my tears. "EAT.IT." He towered over me and held it up against my lips. OH MY GOSH, HE'S FATTENING ME UP TO KILL ME AND EAT ME LIKE HANSEL AND GRETEL IN THAT GINGERBREAD HOUSE! I started crying again and crawled away from him quickly.

"No!"

"I said eat it!" He forced my mouth open as he shoved it into my mouth then put a hand over my mouth and nose. I started to run out of air as I tried not to eat it and finally swallowed it and then bit his hand again as pay back. He pulled away and then laughed evilly then took out a few blue souls from in his jacket. My eyes widened at the sight of them and I hopped off of the bed and ran over to the door. He tackled me and pulled me back to the bed by my foot and sat me down on the bed and cuffed me. "Now eat these."

"I only eat red souls. It's my policy." I said quietly and looked up at him.

"Too bad. Your not who you was, you are now eating blue souls because they weigh less."

"ARE YOU CALLING ME HEAVY MISTER?" I sat up and glared at him and bared my teeth at him. "I WILL BITE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU AGAIN."

"Bite into this if you feel like biting." He shoved a soul into my mouth. As soon as it was in my mouth, I was in love. OH MY GOSH, IT'S A SOUL! HE GAVE ME A SOUL! But I can't eat this one.....CRUEL WORLD! YOU KNOW I LOVE SOULS! Waaaaah! I started crying as I felt the texture that tried to lure me into biting it and eating it all up. He taped my mouth shut quickly. "Eat, eat, eat." He started chanting. I started bawling right about here and curled up into a ball. I want this soul so bad! BUT I can't eat it! I'm a weapon, not a kishin! Noire, just think about the poor person who had this soul taken from them! Buuuut this soul does feel really great. Tempting..... "Come on Noire, join the dark side, you eat souls everyday and have cookies for supper." I looked at him out of my little ball and considered. I quickly jerked my head back to my chained hands and ripped the tape off and spat the soul out.

"I will NEVER eat a blue soul!" I glared at him and struggled to get loose. "You're wasting your time, so how about you release me and Fade, and we'll go on our merry way?"

"So.. You want to play hard? Alright. We will play hard." He smirked evilly then started lifting my shirt up a little. "How about this, you eat the soul.. and I wont do what I want to do. Do you know what I will do? Or should I give you a better hint?"

"Murder me? Ok, go right ahead. I don't care. I'd rath- WAIT NO BETTER IDEA. How about you unchain me, then I run to the window, leave, and come back later for my meister?" I looked down at his hand and thought about biting it again.

"Oh you silly girl I don't want to murder you, that wouldn't be any fun." He laughed and leaned down taking my face in his hands and kissed me. I whimpered and bit his bottom lip hard. Damn you, damn you and all the kishins in the world! I hope you like the taste of your blood. "Ow-" He pulled away quickly and then slapped me hard across the face. "You know what, I am done playing nice with you." He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, yeah. Come to my room and pick up this virmin and take her to the dungeon." YAS! I CAN ESCAPE THOSE! I smirked and looked up at my hands. Then it dawned on me. Whoops, I'm a weapon..... Stupid me. I looked back up at him and transformed, getting free then untransformed, running to the door.

"See ya later!" I opened the door and ran down the hall, noticing a big guy standing in front of a door. Bet my lady is in there. I smirked and jumped up on him from behind, wrapping my arms (to choke him a little) around his neck and turned my knee into part of a sword and dug it into his back. "Listen up big guy, you are going to tell me right now: Is there a chick in that room?"

"What's it to you?"

"I wish to have an audience with milady. Now is she in there or not? You know what, you wouldn't be standing at this door unless it was important. She is in there then....."

"Yes, she's in there. Probably asleep by now."

"Well....Open the damn door." I growled in his ear.

"Here." He pulled out a key from inside his jacket. "You won't win."

"That's your opinion. Now, how about you open it? I'm not stupid about what happens if I let you go."

"Fine. I will open it." He reached over and unlocked the door giving it a soft push and the door came open.

"LOOK! THERE SHE IS, GET HER!" A guy yelled from down the hall and I looked to see a few men following him as they ran towards me.

"Not my day huh? Ok mister, I hope you value your life because if you don't go inside that room, shut the door, lock and barricade it, you will die. Got it?"

"I don't work for you. You better run now in there yourself, I cant feel my knees." He fell down. Great. Fine. I'll get my hands dirty. I stepped back and knocked him hard on the head, knocking him out, took the key, and ran inside. I then slammed the door, locked it, and moved a dresser in front of it and a little stool. Yeah, what's a stool gonna do? I quickly took a step back and looked behind me. Fade was tied up and passed out, but Antonio was nowhere to be found. Ok then, window it is. I got over to the window and opened it and picked up Fade, then smirked at the door.

"Dudes, the only way out of that room is through this door. Let's just wait here. They have to come out some time. High five boys! We caught her!!!!"

"Oh hey guys, what are you doing outside my room?" I froze when I heard it was Antonio. "What's Jeff doing passed out? Sleeping on the job? Jeff, wake up right now or else you get a pay cut."

"I am....awake....I .... I... promise."

"Oh hey boss, guess what! We caught that weapon girl. Yep, She is in there." One of the guys said.

"You know there is a window in my room right guys?" I heard him mutter on the other side of the door. No....NOPE, I'M OUTTA HERE! I ran over to the open window and leapt out of it and held Fade close to me as I fell to the ground. Don't wake up.....Don't wake up-

"OH MY F***** GOD NOIRE! ARE YOU SUICIDAL OR SOMETHING?????????? Wait.... We are out of there? YESSSS!!!!! RUNNNNN!!!!!!!!"

"SHUT UP OR THEY WILL HEAR YOU!" I winced in pain as I stood up and set Fade down and started untying her. This is taking too long..... "Do you trust me?"

"With my life." She smiled up at me. I transformed my hand and cut the rope quickly and untransformed it.

"I love being a weapon," I murmured and yanked her to her feet.

"C'MON!" She tugged me down the ally quickly as she ran. I tried to keep up, but everyonce in a while I would freeze up when I swear I heard something behind us but it always proved to be a rat or something like that. We can't go back to the hotel.....

"Fade, where are we going? You aren't taking us back to the hotel are you?"

Kid's p.o.v.

Black Star was pacing the hotel room near the bed where Teddy was sitting like Noire and Fade were supposed to be sleeping there. They hadn't come back and we broke into the hotel room. "Black Star, calm down. Sometimes missions take a bit longer then needed. All those souls must be taking a while to eat and collect." I assured him trying to not sound so worried but inside I was screaming, crying, and wanting to go fine the two and save the day.

"No it doesn't Kid. It only takes like.....a second to eat a soul." Patti giggled on the floor, playing with her giraffe.

"Not with my Noire. She likes to take her time, remember Adrian and James?"

"It only took her two minutes to eat Adrian and a week to kill James. Geez, get your facts straight. The longest she has ever held onto a soul was Alaska." Liz muttered next to Patti.

"YOUR NOT HELPING LIZ." I took in a deep breath, "I'm going outside for a minute to get some air and calm down." I was about to walk out when I saw Liz put her hair up in a side ponytail and smirk at me while Patti hid something behind her back. I turned towards them and took in a deep breath. "LIZ! TODAY IS NOT THE DAY TO MESS WITH ME!!!!" I stormed over to them and took out her pony tail and then laughed running away with it. "MINE NOW!"

"NOT MY ONLY ONE!" She started braiding her hair over her shoulder and then grabbed a sharpie and doodled on one of her arms.

"Just walk away Kid...Just walk away." I walked out the door and took in a deep breath. Black Star followed and gave me a small hug then fell to his knees.

"PLEASE KID?"

"No we are not going to go ruin their adventure." I told him and smirked. "That don't mean we cant go watch a bit closer. Come on, let's go sneak in and have a look around at their situation."

"YAS!" He stood up and then looked at the door and took out the room key and locked it. "They might stop us...."

"Yeah. Best to ask for forgiveness then permission."

"Exactly. Now let's go quickly.....Wait a minute, do we want to take Noire's Teddy or are we leaving it here in case she gets mad that we touched it?" He looked at me.

"Let's leave it here that away if they make it back before us then she wont know a difference."

"You know, something just crossed my mind. You haven't slept with Noire since the cabin in the woods....that makes almost two weeks. Is she shunning you or something?"

"Black Star, don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to. Noire and my sleeping status is my business and hers. Not yours."

"Funny though. I wanted to know the answer to that. I think she put that bear at the top of her snuggle list again." He shrugged and walked away from me down the hall.

"Damn you." I looked towards the door and then at Black Star then started following him down the hall. "I will get that bear another day."

"No you won't. When Noire gets her hands on it, it's bye bye Noire."

"Black Star." I caught up to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "Let me tell ya something. STAY OUT OF MY LOVE LIFE WITH NOIRE!"

"It's too funny though." He laughed and shoved me off of him and hit the down button on the elevator.

"Whatever dude." I smirked as I started thinking of ways I could become Noire's number one again. The elevator came up and Black Star got in and looked at me.

"Coming silly head?"

"Yeah." I walked in and stood beside him. "I tell ya what, when we get back home we are so spending like a week in our rooms snuggled up to our girls."

"Oh really? I was thinking a month for me and Fade." He smirked and hit the button to take us to the lobby. "Why else would I let her leave me for three days?"

"Makes since. Yet, I don't want to be farther behind in school then we already are."

"You mean you haven't been going on DWMA's website and doing your homework there? Stein has been posting it for those who miss." Black Star pulled out his phone and showed me. "See?"

"Yeah, I knew of it...I just been busy."

"Hmm....Well, you can always ask your dad for tutoring." He shrugged and the door came open.

"Nevermind that. Come." I walked out heading towards the front door. Black Star was close behind, but we were intercepted by a person who was employed here.

"I'm so sorry madam, but we forgot to take your orders for breakfast tomorrow. Will you be dining here or somewhere in town?" He gave me a little bow. "Oh, and your little friend that checked in with you.....The blond one....."

"Yeah, she is already out eating away. I'm heading out right now, isn't that right, hun?" I sounded like Fade and looked over at Black Star with a grin.

"Uh huh. You wanted to eat breakfast with me at that nice little restaurant down the street right sweetie?" He smirked and put an arm around my waist.

"Yeah." I smiled and looked back at the guy. "So, no we are not eating here."

"Including your little friend from before?" He smiled a little.

"No, her boyfriend is stealing her away from my sweet tomorrow. Now Shhhh, don't tell the lady." He put his hands over my ears. "She can't know that Noire is being taken away from her tomorrow."

"Black Star, I just heard all of that.... hmmm oh well. At least I will be with you."

"That's right. Now come on sweetie. I'm taking you to the nicest asymmetrical restaurant in town!" He pulled me past the other guy and out the door. "You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea for Fade tomorrow...."

"So we are taking them out somewhere tomorrow?" I looked across the street. "Which ally was it again?"

"That one, and no, I'm not letting a double date tomorrow. I'm taking her to the leaning tower of pisa to go on a picnic." He walked past me to one of the alleys across the street.

"Well, at least you know how to treat my sister right....What to do with Fade?" I followed him and took my time.

"Let me take care of her for the rest of her life, that's what." He muttered in front of me.

"Nah. I think I will lock her away in a tower." I laughed.

"You know a tower can't keep me out. I'll just get in Mother Gotham." He smirked at me. "Besides, touch my girl and I steal yours and put her in a dungeon until we come to an agreement."

"Lay a hand on my Noire and she will just bite it off." I laughed.

"Oh yeah....That poor bloke who kidnapped her today....." He paled. "I'll get a muzzle and handling gloves."

"Your forgetting she is a weapon." I laughed and caught up to him. "You can have Fade, but if you hurt her....well. We all know how that ends."

"Noire would have my head delivered to her on a silver platter. Not to mention Lord Death and you. Don't know who would get to kill me first but I imagine Stein would make me into a zombie each time that way you all three can murder me at least once."

"Yep." I smirked and walked into the dark ally. Black Star followed and started humming This Is Halloween.

"THERE THEY ARE!" I was tackled by a guy and so was Black Star. "WAIT A MINUTE! THIS ISN'T THE BLOND CHICK!"

"WHOA WHOA WHOA! Take him anyways." Another guy said. They started dragging us into an abandoned (not so abandoned) warehouse. "We'll just have to report to Joshua that the blond one got away. I'm blaming it on you buddy." The guy clapped a hand on the guy that had Black Star. "He's not gonna be happy we let his little pet get away. Even if she was going to get a time out in the dungeon until Joshua decided he wasn't mad about his lip anymore." The guy hauled me to my feet in the living room. "And you are going back to your master as well." He smirked.

"Whoever this guy named Joshua, tell him he is dead to me. NO ONE TOUCHES MY NOIRE!" I looked over at Black Star. "What will you do with him? Don't hurt him let him go."

"Hell no. Antonio and Joshua might have questions for this one." Black Star was dragged out of my sight after they handcuffed his hands behind his back.

"You guys have no idea who you are fooling with. Alright...take me to my....master."

"Great. ANTONIO! WE FOUND HER!" The guy left me with the five others who reeked of Kishiness. Oh god...they think I am Fade...Well that would be a rude awakening if Antonio turns out to be a huge perv like Black Star. I laughed and looked at the five guys.

"What's so funny?" One of them asked as the second one grabbed a box of cookies off of the table and took one out.

"Antonio told us to feed these to her...." the guy whispered to the first. The first nodded and took the cookie handing it to me.

"Here ya go! I believe you liked these?" He smirked and watched me.

"Nope, as a wise person once said, don't drink or eat anything on the other side or you wont be coming back." I laughed referring to the underworld in mythology.

"Oh come on. Just eat the damn cookie Fade or Natasha or whatever they call you." The guy rolled his eyes. "I'm sure that if we had that damn blond chick they would be eating them up right now."

"I don't want a cookie." I crossed my arms. "I am on a diet."

"You ate one an hour ago." The guy stared at me. "Don't make me go get the cookie cake in the back."

"WHAT! THERE IS A COOKIE CAKE!!!! OH SWEETNESS! YOU LEARNED MY BREAKING POINT!" I stood up and walked over to the guy. "GIVE. ME. THAT. COOKIE. CAKE."

"Alright, hey XANDER GO GET THE COOKIE CAKE!" The second guy ran off from the first and came back with a big cookie cake and set it down on the coffee table.

"There you go. Antonio will be in here shortly. Joshua too." Xander smiled at me. "You missed your master right?"

"Totally." I started eating the cookie cake and laid down on the couch putting it on my stomach.

"Well....she isn't going anywhere." Xander said and then went over to a Pac Man machine over in the corner and the other four followed to watch. I watched them get distracted then got to my feet and walked off in the direction they took Black Star. I was swept off my feet into a hug and then kissed by someone.

"THERE YOU ARE! YOU SCARED ME, RUNNING OFF LIKE THAT! How could you jump out a window and leave me?" The guy looked into my eyes, this is probably Antonio.

"Eweee." He kissed me.... He sounds like Black Star too.

"Leave me again, and we'll kill that blue headed freak in the dungeon." He warned and sat me down on the couch. "You know that your mine. Why even bother leaving? I'm sure you already knew that you wouldn't get too far."

"Well... I cant answer that." I told him and tried to get to my feet. The guy sat down next to me and pulled me on him.

"Now, you are going to tell me where Noire is. She could get very lost and hurt out there by herself. It's dangerous for her to be alone. What with her being suicidal and all...."

"Well, it is very understandable that she is perfectly fine now that I am positive she escaped from this hell. I am sure she is not alone and is very safe. I don't know where she went though. Lost? Hardly."

"Well, if I were you, I'd tell me where she really is or you might find Joshua over there-" he pointed behind me "-very disagreeable with you."

"I hate to tell you two but I don't know where my Noire is. She ran off from me when the blue headed freak attacked me. I am almost positive she went south." I smirked. "Joshua, you lay a hand on my girl again and I will make sure you never see the sunlight again. I will wrap you up with your own skin and throw you in some dungeon....or better, in a ocean."

"Oh, I've already touched her. You know that." Joshua came into my view and stood behind the couch looking at me. "Don't you?"

"You...touched my Noire?" I looked him in the eyes. "Your dead to me."

"Well, when we find her, she's getting a big time out. Did you train her to bite or something Fade? I mean really...." He massaged his lip.

"You bastard, you deserved that." I muttered.

"BAD FADE! DON'T TALK LIKE THAT TO JOSHUA!" Antonio smacked my head. I looked at Antonio and that grabbed his throat squeezing it.

"DONT YOU EVER, HIT ME AGAIN. YOU FOOL. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM????!!!! I AM-" I stopped myself before I gave up my identity. I was squirted with water by Joshua.

"WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. NOW LET ANTONIO GO OR ELSE IT'S TIME OUT FOR YOU TOO." He snatched me off of Antonio and held me by my collar.

"AHHHHH WATER!!!! WATER.... WATER!!!" I screamed and squirmed around kneeing him between his legs and took off down the hall to Black Star. Antonio caught me from behind and pulled me into my arms.

"You are going to make a GREAT kishin baby." He laughed and kissed my forehead.

"I am not your baby." I muttered.

"Yes you are. Now come on darling. It's beddy bye time, unless you want more cookies." He smirked at me.

"Bed time? Does this mean I get to be alone?" Oh please don't tell me I have to sleep with you...

"No honey. We've been through this before haven't we? You're mine, body and soul. That includes at night." He laughed and pulled me down the hall to a room and pushed me in and shut the door behind me.

"Oh my...god." I shook my head and walked over to a baseball bat in the corner. YESSSS! I grabbed it and turned to him. Noire was standing behind him and looked pissed.

"Keep your damn kishin hands off my boyfriend." She smacked him hard.

"What? Boyfriend?" Antonio looked disgusted.

"Antonio, met Daniel. Daniel, met the guy who is about to die and then be tossed from a tall tower on fire."

"Wow, now we are using code names?" I laughed and watched her. "Well, took you long enough to get here. Where is Fade?"

"Rescuing that idiot," she muttered and glared at Antonio.

"Good, I am glad you are completing your mission early. Wait....your not surprised I am here?"

"WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT THE HELL?!" She whipped around and looked at me. "HOW THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?!"

"Oh I have connections." I laughed and then pointed at Antonio. "You gonna kill him or play with him for a little longer?"

"No, I'm waiting on Joshua to come in here that way he can watch Antonio die first- nevermind that sounds like freaking something James would do.....I'm just gonna kill him." She looked at him again.

"Noire I kissed a boy?" Antonio asked weakly.

"GOD DONT REMIND ME!" I adjusted the baseball bat in my hands. "Noire what did Joshua do to you?" She tensed up and glanced at me out of the corner of her eyes then looked at Antonio again.

"If you really want to know, I'll tell you later." She transformed her hand into a sword and bent down to Antonio's level. "Alright mister, you touched my Fade, you've touched my boyfriend. You're gonna die."

"Noire don't do this, don't kill me. Think of how awesome you could be if you joined us? Don't kill me...Join us, forget about that guy over there."

"Hmmm...." She looked up at me then back at Antonio. "How about 'no'? You've drugged me, and Fade. You almost killed me at first. You tried to change what I am. You are just going to lock me in the dungeon for even considering killing you. Antonio, you are charged with the murder of at least one hundred souls by yourself. Either I kill you now, or you are going to be taken to Lord Death who will treat you a lot worse than I will because of everything you have done."

"Noire, don't be like thi-"

"Shut up." I walked over and laid a hand on Noire's shoulder. "Your going to die, face it. You deserve this."

"Get your hand off of me Kid." Noire muttered, not even looking at me.

"Yeah." I took my hand away. "Let me give you some advice. The quicker you kill them the easier it is." I walked over to the bed and sat down on it.

"It's easier when Fade is here." She glanced at me then looked at Antonio then froze. "Oh my god....."

"What." Antonio asked.

"N-nothing....." She quickly ended his life and looked away when she had done so. "Damn it Fade....."

"What's wrong? You know I could have token Fade's place if you really didn't want to do that by yourself." Noire looked up at me with tears in her eyes and slowly picked up his soul and handed it to me.

"I'm not eating this one. Lord Death's instructions were that I was to give you one of them to feed to Liz or Patti."

"What's wrong with you?" I asked taking the soul. "What's wrong with this one?"

"T-that one reminds me of me...." She looked down at her feet. "He had that same fear I had.....The same look Fade had when they tried to kill her....."

"Noire." I whispered softly and pulled her into a tight hug. "Your going to get some like that, you just have to remember they a red souls and what do you do with red souls?"

"The same thing they do with the blue ones...." She hugged me back. "They tried to get me to eat one...."

"You didn't right?"

"N-no, I wouldn't eat one of those even if it would cost me my life. Joshua tried to get me to eat it and everything. I don't know what he was going to do when I spit it back out..."

"Don't think about that. Come on let's go find those other two, reunite you with Fade, and kick some ass."

"Mkay." She pulled away and gave me a soft smile. "Sorry Kiddo." She giggled a little and pulled me to my feet.

"Noire, I love you." I looked her in the eyes and then leaned in giving her a kiss before I pulled away and then walked over to the door opening it. "Ladies first."

"No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. Shinigamis first." She pushed me out of the door then followed.

"Haha alright." I took her hand and pulled her down the hall. "They took him to the dungeon, I guess Fade is there too?"

"Yeah, we saw you two get jumped in the alley and snuck in after we heard the voices die down." She nodded. "She said she was going to check there."

"Oh hey you guys" Black Star's voice was heard and I looked to see him and Fade walking towards us. "Ninja mode."

"FADE!" Noire left me and tackled her into a hug. "Did you find him or did he find you?" She giggled a little.

"We met halfway." Fade explained and Black Star walked up to me with a grin on his face.

"What?" I asked.

"You got kissed by a dude again." I narrowed my eyes and almost punched him in the face but he caught my wrist.

"HEY! DUMMY! HANDS OFF!" Noire came up from behind and smacked his head.

"Well well. What a happy reunion." I looked down the hall to see Joshua. Noire froze and looked at him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked quietly.

"This is my house duh." He started walking up, I noticed he had a gun. F***, WHERE IS LIZ AND PATTI WHEN I NEED THEM. PROBABLY IN THAT ROOM PLAYING TEA PARTY WITH THE STUFFED ANIMALS.

"Joshua....Why this part of the- What's that?" Noire noticed the gun and looked up at him. "Oh, you decided to murder me too?"

"Actually I came to return the gun to Antonio." He smirked.

"About that....." Noire bit her bottom lip. "HEY! You know what? I about you go join him?"

"Let's put this guy six feet under Noire." Fade whispered.

"What do you think I was talking about? I didn't mean for tea. I killed Antonio without you. Sorry about that by the way...." Noire whispered back.

"What are you talking about, me joining him?" Joshua asked,

"Your life is being cut short." I told him and pulled my wrist away from Black Star.

"Oh....um....Joshie?" Noire looked at him. "Antonio is dead....."

"Antonio....is dead?" Joshua dropped to his knees weakly.

"Whimp." I coughed.

"Hey Kid, if I told you that this guy held me prisoner in his room, what would you do?" Noire turned to look at me.

"YOU DONE WHAT!" I snapped my head at Joshua and started walking towards him. "YOU BASTARD. YOU TOOK HER TO YOUR ROOM! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING." I reached the guy and he dropped the gun in fear and I got to his level leaning in real close as I picked up the gun. "NO.ONE.TOUCHES.MY.NOIRE.AND.GETS.AWAY.WITH.IT." I told him and pointed the gun at his head seeing the fear in his eyes. "Do you comprehend?" I pulled the trigger before he could answer and stood up cleaning off my face since blood splattered all over it and then looked over at Noire. "You take this soul." I told her stepping aside but then something caught my jeans and I looked to see the idiot still alive. I shot him again and then watched him fall to the ground. His soul appeared and I looked over at Noire.

"Wow.... I never knew Kid was such a bad ass...." Fade muttered.

"Ummmm....o-ok." Noire walked over to me and picked up his soul then looked at me. "I can eat the other one if you want this one you know....You seem like you want to mess with it."

"No, I insist you eat that one." I smiled and rubbed the back of my head. She gave me a soft smile then ate the soul and turned to look at me and pulled out a napkin and started cleaning my face off.

"You've got Joshua on you...."

"It happens, don't worry about that. We need to get prepared, they by now have heard the two shots and are on their way to see what happened so get ready." I nodded at her then at Fade and Black Star.

"Oh by the way Kid.....that so asymmetrically badass." Noire smirked at me and walked over to Fade, glancing at me over her left shoulder.

""What?" I looked down at the gun then at Joshua and gasped. "NOOOOOOO! I JUST! NOOOOO." I took in a deep breath and held my chest as felt a panic attack coming on. "NO...NO..NO...NO...NO-"

"KID I SWEAR, IF YOU THROW ANOTHER PANIC ATTACK OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS I WILL- OH NO IT IS ALREADY STARTING.....NO." Fade facepalmed and I fell over curling up and looked at the gun then noticed something.

"So pretty." I looked to see the gun is symmetrical. "AHHHHH! I'M IN LOVE."

"Oh no." Fade looked up at me as I stood up and smiled.

"Oh yes." I laughed.

"If only there was a second one." Noire smirked again. "Right Fade?"

"Right, oh well, Kid will just have to have trouble shooting trying to get to the perfect middle in front of him to be symmetrical, even though his hair makes him-"

"What about my hair?" I looked at Fade.

"Nothing honey, it's just got some red splotches in the white." Noire smiled at me.

"What is up with you two?" I asked and then shrugged it off. Then it hit me. "WHAT!"

"There is a bathroom over there with a shower in it." Noire pointed to a door.

"No, I cant get wet, not again."

"WELL WELL WELL, Look-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Noire whipped around and looked at the group of kishins that had showed up behind her. "I'M HAVING A VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION ON SYMMETRY!"

"Noire, maybe we should have this conversation later." Black Star said.

"YOU TOO BLACK STAR!" Noire glared at him.

"Um.... What?" One of the kishins asked.

"Oh hey guys. What's up? When did you get here?" Noire looked at them again. "Oh.....that's when...."

"Noire, let's kick some butt then debate on symmetry after when we are heading down the hall to find some more kishins." Fade suggested. Noire nodded and transformed into a bow for Fade.

~Bloody murder and a few hours later~

Noire dusted her hands off after eating all the souls. "So....Mission accomplished." She smiled at Fade.

"Mission accomplished." Fade said and nodded, I sat down on the floor throwing the gun away and laid my back down on the ground. "Well...now what?"

"All 96 are dead.....OH! We aren't done yet!" Noire ran off into a bed room and came out with a few blue souls and dumped them on me. "Baby sit these." She dragged Fade off somewhere and left me with Black Star.

"Where are they going?" I asked sitting up and grabbed the souls stuffing them into my jacket and ran after them. "Hey wait up you two!"

"Why should we? You know that the next part of the mission is collect the blue souls and make a break for it!" Noire shouted over her shoulder.

"You don't have to run so fast! Black Star, are you coming?" I paused and looked behind me for him. He frowned.

"Kid....I think they are running from US." He stood up and ran up to me.

"THEN WHY ARE WE JUST STANDING AROUND!" I laughed and chased after Noire. "GET BACK HERE!"

"NO! YOU NEED TO BABYSIT THOSE SOULS!" She shouted back. "Come on Fade, we are going to the kitchen. I bet that is where the rest are."

"YOU TWO BETTER GET BACK HERE." I yelled and caught up to them in the kitchen. Noire froze and dropped the souls she had in her arm and grabbed Fade.

"FADE! RUN!" She took off with her out of a side door.

"YAHOO! GOTCHA!" I heard two girls fall and Black Star cheering.

"WHY ARE YOU DATING A NINJA!" Noire screamed at Fade.

"I had no choice, he wouldn't leave me alone." Fade muttered as I walked over to them. Noire saw me and stood up quickly dusting herself off.

"Whelp.....see ya. LOVE YOU FADE!" She looked at Fade who was in Black Star's Death Hug. Then she took off running down the hall again.

"YOU FORGOT, YOUR DATING A SHIMIGAMI!" Fade yelled and I ran off chasing Noire.

"COME BACK HERE RUN AWAY!"

"I HEARD TWO WORDS!" She giggled and ran faster.

"RUN TO ME!" I yelled and laughed. "YOU HAVE TO COME BACK TO DEATH CITY SOMETIME!"

"IS THAT A THREAT OF BEING TRAPPED?" Noire shouted over her shoulder.

"Yes! YOUR GONNA BE TRAPPED IN MY BED FOR A WEEK! YOUR LUCKY IT WONT BE A MONTH!"

"AHHHH! DON'T YOU WANT TO DISINFECT ME FIRST!" She disappeared down another hall.

"I WILL, DONT YOU WORRY!" I stopped chasing her and ran over to Blue head and my twin.

"Oh hey Kid. I'm leaving in charge of the souls. Fade and I will be back at the hotel room we got, not the one that the weapons are locked up in. Bye." Black Star started walking off with my twin. I smirked evilly.

"Not so fast, looks like there is a damsel in distress." I tripped him as he walked by and let my twin up. "RUN!"

"OH COME ON!" Black Star chased after her and caught her quickly. "How about this, I'll hand this one over to you, go get yours, bring that one back, and trade?"

"Hmmmm.... Sure." I walked up to him. Black Star handed me my twin and took off in the direction Noire left. I let her go when he got out of sight.

"Thanks!" She took off running and I laughed following her slowly. She ended up sitting down to take a break in the livingroom and was munching on the cookies. I shook my head and sat down by her and took a cookie from her eating it. "You done that on purpose." She narrowed her eyes at me and I nodded.

"Couldn't have my girl tired and his not when we trade, just wouldn't feel right."

"Your my brother, you are supposed to be on my side."

"I will be if he ever hurts you, until now...Bro code is my thing."

"Your such a jerk."

"Is this what you are looking for Kid?" Black Star came back into the room carrying Noire bridal style while she was struggling to get free.

"Yes, here ya go. One tired out Fade for a Noire." I laughed. Black Star smirked and dropped Noire into my lap and snatched Fade, running out of the house with her. I wrapped my arms around Noire and held her as I followed him out the front door. "Oh little Noire, you thought you could get away."

"Damn Black Star....." Noire muttered and stopped struggling a little.

"He is such a nice guy. You missy are coming home with me." I laughed and took out my phone making a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hi Freddy, get the plane ready because we are going home early." I informed.

"Right away sir." I hung up and took Noire to the hotel room Noire was staying in with Fade. I walked in after unlocking the door and seen the weapons were fast asleep. Noire smirked.

"I win in some weird turn of events. You aren't going to do something to me with them in here."

"Oh, really?" I looked at her and put her down on her feet. "Pack up."

"OH MY GOSH! TEDDY!" Noire saw her Teddy and ran over to it, jumping up on the bed and started cuddling it. "I'm so sorry I left you here all alone!" Misty and Thomas were sleeping next to Liz, Patti, and Tsubaki, but Misty perked up when she heard Noire, then she saw me and hissed. I smiled at her and then looked at Noire.

"HEY WEAPONS! WAKE UP SWEETS, WE ARE GOING HOME." I yelled as I honked a horn I found on the desk. Liz threw Misty at me and then turned over in her sleep. Misty screeched in fear and caught ahold of my jacket with her claws and started climbing up me. I screamed and grabbed her putting her in the cage and grabbed Thomas putting him in there too. Patti sat up and looked at me.

"Home?"

"Yeah, back to Death City. Get your stuff packed. We are leaving Fade and Black Star here to have their little date at the leaning tower. I will have Mitch informed they will still be here and will take his plane home." I told her and then grabbed my phone making another phone call.

"Sup?"

"Hey Mitch, Fade is going to stay here for a bit longer but I am flying home with Freddy. Alright?'

"You called me just to tell me that? Do you know where I am? Bro I am at the best club ever dancing with this beautiful g-" I hung up on him and laughed. Patti started dragging Liz out of the room and Tsubaki looked at me.

"Do I need to stay or should I come too?"

"You can come too, we killed all the kishins so they should be just fine. Besides I don't want you to feel like a third wheel. Your coming home with us." I smiled. She smiled up at me and stood up, following Liz and Patti, leaving the door open. I looked over at Noire. "Hey I will be right back there is something I need to do." I walked out and went to Liz and Patti's room and walked in reaching into my jacket pocket and pulled out Antonio's soul. "Here you go girls, you earned it." I laughed and smiled gave it to Liz. Patti looked at Liz.

"I got the last one Lizzy so you get this one." Patti went over to her bags and started packing while Liz looked at me.

"Where did this come from?"

"Fade and Noire had one left over so they gave it to me like Lord Death ordered."

"Oh, in that case...." Liz ate it and gave me a hug. "Go pack or something....Unless you want me to pack your stuff for you...."

"I'll pack it." I walked out and down to my room and picked up my bag since I never unpacked and walked back to Noire. Noire was cuddling that Teddy like she used to before she started dating me and giggling. I looked around and packed her bag for her then picked up the bags and cat cages and walked down to the lobby and out to the car and threw them in the trunk but put the cats in the car and rolled a window down. I walked back up to Noire's room and picked her up.

"Wha- Kid! What are you doing?!" She looked up at me.

"I told you, we are going home." I carried her down to the lobby to see the girls walking out the door and I followed them then got into the car with Noire and sat her down in the passenger seat since I was the driver. The other three climbed into the back with the cats and I drove off. Noire kept quiet and started playing with Teddy's arms while Liz fell asleep in the back seat with Patti and Tsubaki. I pulled up at the airport and brought all the bags onto the plane then the cats. I woke up the girls to get them on the plane and the three girls walked off getting in while I carried Noire over to it.

"Wait! You were serious?! I can't leave Fade in Italy!" She struggled to get free.

"She is with Black Star, don't worry." I carried her onto the plane and closed the door locking it then walked up to Freddy who was switching switches getting ready to drive the baby. "All ready captain." I told him and he nodded then I went back into the main room and sat Noire down on the couch. "I will text Black Star about us leaving them." I assured her.

"She might need me though!" Noire looked up at me and then went to stand up.

"I don't think she will." The plane started moving and I sat Noire back down. "Your coming home with me."

"F-fine..." Noire gave up and stayed down this time.

"I'm sorry Noire but I want to have them two have some fun alone in Italy together."

"It's ok....." She looked down at the floor and studied it.

"Ok sweetie, get some rest." I stood up and got her a blanket and pillow then got out my phone texting Black Star: Hey bro, you and Fade are alone in Italy, when you are ready to come home Mitch will take you. Have fun! I took Thomas with me by the way. Have fun at the leaning tower and on your date in general. Need anything just give a call. Bye.

"I'm not tired though...." Noire got up and went over to the other couch and picked up Teddy on the way.

"Okay. Want to watch a movie?" I sat down on the couch she just left.

"Alright." She smiled and came back with the blanket and Teddy, sitting down next to me.

"Cool." I laughed and put on Teen Titans Go. Noire rested her head on my shoulder and got quiet, eventually dosing off. After a while the plane landed and I looked down at Noire and picked her up carrying her over to the door as the plane had stopped and I got off going to the car. Liz, Patti, and Tsubaki followed and got in the back seat after putting all the luggage in the trunk and Liz held the cat carrier in her lap. I sat Noire down in the passenger seat then got in and drove us away to the party house. When we arrived I shook Noire awake. "Hey, were home." Noire sat up startled and relaxed when she saw me.

"Oh....ok....." Noire got out and took her bags and the cats into the house with Liz, Patti, and Tsubaki. I got out and grabbed my bags and carried them into the house then looked around to see Soul, Maka, Dave, Kyle, and Cori passed out in a pallet on the floor together. Patti laid down next to Cori, making Kyle scoot over, Tsubaki laid down next to Kyle, and Liz smiled softly at Dave and joined him. Noire took out her phone and took pictures then smirked at them and put her phone up. I laughed as I seen Soul and Maka curled up, Soul was drooling and I covered my mouth before I woke them. Maka shifted and wrapped her arms around Soul and whispered his name in her sleep and curled up against him. I looked over at Noire and walked up to her dropping my bag softly on the couch and kissed her head. Noire smiled softly at me and then gave me a hug, resting her head on my chest. "Thanks Kid for blowing that guy's brains out for me."

"No problem baby. See what happens to guys that mess with the wrong person's girl?"

"Mmm hmm. I'll remember that." She giggled a little and then looked up at me. "So....."

"Will you sleep with me tonight?" I looked into her eyes. She nodded and smiled at me.

"Yes, I will. It's been what? Almost two weeks?"

"So Black Star has told me." I laughed, letting Misty and Thomas out, and picked her up carrying her up to my bedroom and laid her down on my bed. I kissed her head again then closed my bedroom door and took off my jacket laying it on my dressed. I kicked off my shoes next then turned off the light and climbed into bed with her covering up. "Good night Noire, I love you." I mumbled pulling her close into my arms and closed my eyes.

"Yup...Nighty night. Love you too sweetie. Oh and Kid?"

"Yes?" I asked sweetly.

"You're still my number one cuddle buddy."

"I knew it." I mumbled and smiled kissing her. Noire kissed me back and ran her fingers through my hair.

"And the number one guy in my life probably forever." She mumbled quietly.
