The Mission

((Meanwhile, back with Soul...))

(3rd person POV)

Soul walked down th halls, frustrated that he had been called down into Lord Death`s office. `I don't even remember doing Anything, and Maka should be fine. Why do they want me?` he groaned. `I hope i don't have to do remedial lessons, again. Thats how we ended up with Stein as a teacher`.

Knocking on the door, he waited. The door creaked open, and he entered, looking disinterested as usual. He made his way down the guillotine hallway, quietly grumbling to himself as he made his way to Lord Death.

When he got there, he was a bit suprised to see, not only Lord Death and Spirit, but Nygus as well. 'Wasn't she just in the nurses office?'

She looked at him with a look of the utmost seriousness. "Soul, we have a problem."

"One of our meisters has been abusing his weapons," Lord Death spoke up. "We've noticed a large amount of female weapons turning up beaten, and nearly broken mentally. They all left this meister before they did serious damage, and they now have partners that match them properly. That is, all but one."

Soul began to get irritated

Nygus then chose to speak again. "We believe that he has another partner, one that refuses to get help, possibly out of fear, and it may end up getting her killed. She constantly tries to cover it up, using different excuses and reasons to make it seem possible and unconnected. We can not afford to lose another weapon, especially to something this despicable."

Soul looked down. "A weapon's sole purpose is to protect the meister. She wouldn't be able to touch him without breaking that rule." He started to see red, clenching his fists to try and control his anger.

The speakers switched back. "The reason we called you here is because you have gotten a bit close to this weapon recently, not enough for you to really notice, but close for her. We need you to keep an eye on her, and help us get rid of the meister."

"Why don't you just expell the person now?!" Soul asked, barely keeping his volume in check.

"If it was that easy, we would. Unfortunately, he seems to have entered each class as a different name, and no two pictures match on the ID's. He seems to have his bases well covered. This is the only way we could think of that the weapon would agree with, or wouldn't know about."

"Well, who is the weapon anyway?"

Nygus and Lord Death looked at each other nervously before a voice behind them spoke up.

"(F/N)(L/N)." They all turned to see Spirit, who looked sick with the whole situation. "No one deserves to be treated like that, not a weapon and especially not her. She is one that holds the bond between meister and weapon the most sacred, and she'd never go against him, no matter what he did. She may not be my little girl, but this feels as personal as if it was. Don't screw this up, Evans." He said with a seriousness that was unlike him.

Soul reigned in his anger enough to appear almost calm. "So i just have to keep her safe, is that it?" He asked, looking at Nygus and Lord Death.

"Keep her safe, and possibly convince her to leave her meister. If we could do that, we could get to the meister without anyone else being injured. We have no idea what he could be capable of, so please, try to complete this mission without causing her more harm."

He stood for a moment before nodding. "Can i tell the others?"

Nygus shook her head. "It might scare her away, or cause him to hurt her even more. If you must, tell them only that they have tl keep an eye out for her. Make up an excuse why, but don't tell them the real reason unless it becomes absolutely nessessary."

"You can, however, tell Maka." The death god added. "She will have to know where you go when you disappear on her, in case something happens and we need you."

He waves Soul off. "Now, i suggest you go meet with Maka, she's waiting out the door for you."

Soul turned and walked out, looking at the ground, deep in thought. He wasn't paying attention when he walked out the door, only to be hit in the back of the head, hard enough to see stars.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"SOUL! YOU IDIOT, WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!"

Lord Death chuckled as the door to his room closed, then turned to his mirror. He wrote numbers into the glass and waited. Strangely, the only he could see was darkness. He switched his view, and got similar results, some completely black, some with hints of light in the form of tiny squares.

"Huh?" He tilted his head to the side. "Did i break this thing?" He lightly whacked the side, and seeing nothing had changed, turned it off, not knowing that, if he had listened closely, he would have heard a faint, almost silent, sobbing.
