Lord Death's children's home

[x_Death the Girl_x]

Gal strided none too delicately into the bedroom, wringing her hands nervously.

"No no, it IS my fault," Gal insisted bitterly. "I should have waited a bit longer, its just I've never had a legitimete partner before!" She almost wailed. "I've no experience in this matter, I should've conferred with Chichu-e, it wasn't fair for you guys to go through that!" Gal was almost hyperventilating by now - at least, it felt that way to her. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger quickly, a not-so-discrete nervous habit of hers.

"T-the Vision?" She stammered, still trying to calm down. "Sure, I at least owe you that much.

When people can see otherworldly things like spirits, demons, Shinigamis on reaps, or any thing on another plane of reality, they're considered to have the Vision. Kishins exist on the human plane, so they don't count. Having the Vision could mean a lot of things, such as being able to predict turning points. Turning points are instances in a persons life which determine whether they live or die. There are normally 15 turning points in a human's life."

The young Shinigami felt like she was babbling, but she probably wasn't, seeing as her point seemed to be getting across.

"Though seeing isn't everything - others can hear, sense, predict, even. It really depends on the extent of their ability. I can't really discern the extent that Alex has, but if he can hear and see, he might be able to predict things as well."

She laughed nervously, still twisting her hair.

"We'll have to wait and see, I guess. I must guide him through this, I have to make sure that he'll be fine!" Gal began to pace back and forth.

He might end up withering his life away while watching for Death, and that was no way to live.

"That's no way to live!" Gal actually murmered the last part aloud miserably, stopping her rapid pacing to look over at Alex worriedly.

She wished meds could work on Shinigamis, that way she could take some pill to make her calm down. She settled for letting out a frustrated groan and taking Alex's hand.

Gal felt relieved suddenly - she figured it mustve been her partner, seeing as she could feel some type of warm energy emitting from Felix's hands, which her currently clutching her shoulders.

"Hmm, yes.." She nodded dully, feeling a bit lethargic from the sudden emotional change.

She stopped nodding after a few seconds, a frown of confusion on her face.

"Wait - this has been going on for years?" Gal registered.

"And he can predict..." Gal added, looking at Felix.

That was some powerful Vision he had - Gal was a bit surprised that he hadn't gone insane yet, considering that he wasn't guided through it. Many did go crazy with it...Shinigamis ha seen it countless times

"Say, do you have any idea why it happened and when it began?" Gal asked.

She'd just finished soaking when she heard a vaguely familiar footsteps resound in the room and a familiar - if heavily deepened - voice speak.

Gal whirled around and saw an older version of her brother, Death the Kid. She knew she ought o be serious but -

BUT -

BUT-

"KID!" She squealed and leaPt into the air, wanting to wrap her ants around him and cuddle him to Death.

"KID! Oh Kid, I've missed you so!" She exclaimed loudly. "Kiddo, I've finally got partners and they're so so cool, and one of them even has the Vision!" She explained rapidly, still hugging him.

"I showed them the Netherworld and they took it well and Michael dropped silverware again and I had to clean after Char because she didn't wipe the mirrors right but then my partner Alex started feeling bad because the Unsatisfied were trying to get into his mind and I know it was a mistake I'm sorry! It's ALL MY FAULT!"

Gal raved. She was an emotional whirlwind, sometimes she thought that she was worse off than Kid.

She sniffles and wiped sudden tears away from her eyes.

"I thought it would be fine, I mean I thought you did that with your partners, Kid...But none of them had the Vision right? You have to help me lock those wretched Unsatisfied away, I saw many new ones around the mansion in the Neatherworld!"

Kid nodded as Gal whispered at him. He whispered back, Right, We need to seal those Unsatisfied right away and I wish you know how to do it He straightened up and said, Yes, I can help you.

But he felt stranger, it's not a Unsatisfied nor a kishin, but two person near their home, Gal come with me with your partners. We have company Kid walked to the door, he needs to test if Gal could stand these soul wavelengths.

He pretends to like, going out to school and saw a 20-year-old man and a cute little girl. Ah hello, may I help you? Yeah... He may be have a kind speaking at the outside, but suspicious in the inside.

Gal scrunched up her face in an expression of pure glee, holding up her fists near her face. "YES!" She squealed. "You know I love you Kiddo!" She heard what Felix said and blushed a bit.

"Oh thanks, Felix, you're so sweet - ALEX, OMIGOSH, YOU'RE AWAKE!" She shrieked, at his side in a single bound, fretting and looking him over like a mother - er, meister- would. "You're okay?" She asked, holding his face, and though concerned, still broke out into a happy smile. "If it helps, you seem okay! You are perfectly intact, soulwise." Gal was really happy though. "Guys, Kid has agreed to a team offer! We can start off with team resonance sessions right off the bat! Isn't it amaziing? It is isnt -" Everything was peachy, the color of roses, everything would be fine -

Gal's exaggerated (and probably Shinigami hormone induced) happiness was broken quickly when she sensed an intrusion and she sobered in less than a second, her face turning into a perfectly serious one, her brows closely knit as she stared intently at a corner of the ceiling, trying to learn everything she could from this....presense of sorts.

It was not Kishin, not spirit, not Demon...Unknown. just - Oozing with hatred and unspoken threats.

"Kid." She said seriously, but found her brother had already taken the situation into his hands. She stood and beckoned for her partners with a sharp jerk of her head.

"Alex, Felix. Be prepared. We may have to prove ourselves in battle sooner than we think." She lowered her voice a bit, saying the last part almost as an afterthought.

Gal followed closely behind Kid, waiting a few moments behind the door for her partners to catch up. Once they did, she opened the door a crack, throwing an innocent, wide eyed, curious look at the intruders.

She glanced at Kid. It only took that for Gal to draw quick conclusions. Kid had a soft smile on his face, his posture relaxed, and had adressed them kindly. But though she had been away from Death City for a while, Gal knew him better than that.

If you looked extremely closely, Kid's hands her balled into fists in his pockets and his smile was a tad bit rigid. Kid had been cordial, but laconic in his greetings. And he had that familiar calculating look in his eyes, which Kid had whenever he was analyzing the enemy and searching for weaknesses. There was alos that glint in his startling exotic eyes that served as a subtle warning that he was in a state of unease, which meant that any wrong move would lead to excruciating pain caused by the dark haired boy himself.

That's her brother, Gal thought darkly.

She processed this in less than a few moments before speaking.

"Oh, Kid, what're you - oh." She turned her wide eyes to the source of danger. Her Shinigami instincts screamed for blood - a bad sign.

"Well, hello. Acquaintances of yours?" She said briefly looking at Kid again before opening the door fully and stepping outside.

"Regardless - dear me, where are my manners? I am Death the Gal, and this is my brother, Death the Kid. We are the offspring of Shinigami-sama." Gal did not mention her partner's names on purpose - Gal thought that perhaps the knowledge of their names could lead to trouble, should the enemy be underlings of someone. That someone could exploit such a little detail, as Gal knew being in a warfront for years. And though Gal would do her best to care for her partners, she could not be with them at every moment of their lives.

Gal stood at ease - well, the military "at ease".


"But you knew this already. Correct?"

As she uttered the last word, her wide molten gold eyes slanted a bit and the innocent glimmer they held faltered. It was a neatly veiled challenge, but a challenge none the less. Gal had no desire to forgo battle - if it was a false alarm, which the Shinigami doubted - her words had been ambigious enough to sound "normal". After all, Shinigami WERE wellknown in these parts...
