Jerrica Wilson's Story

"Yay!" a young blonde yelled running to the doors of the DWMA. He turned back to see his 'father' following shaking his head. "You,
remind me of a young me Styxx." he said immediately covering his mouth. "DAD!!!!" he yelled as loud as he could towards the man he proudly called his father. Styxx,well Acheron walked inside and saw the big rooms. "I want to find a partner.." he said softly to himself, as he saw the building he gave his father a hug he ran into a classrom where he heard. "SHUT UP." he immediately took a look on his face and went silent walking slowly up the steps to find a seat.

Kelly stumbled her way into the full classroom, glancing around nervously as miester and weapon interacted with each other, miesters all looking for their new partner. Smiling sadly as she watched them interact, she moved to sit down next to a group of girls she knew, not that they paid her any mind and just continued with there discussion.

It was kind of sad at how easily she was ignored but like always, simply covered it with a smile and began to unpack her bags. She didn't bother to look up around the classroom. No one was going to choose her unless she was the last choice, after all, how can someone chose her when most of them time they didn't even see her.

Maybe this year would be different and she could finally get to know people but she highly doubted it. She jumped in surprise as some girl yelled at the class from the back of the room. Looking at her she couldn't help but feel slightly amazed at the girls courage to be so loud that everyone would notice her, and drawing all their attention to her.

She will defiantly be picked! She though, slightly in awe of the other women. She could see the women's strong soul shinning through her and it wouldn't be a surprise if she was picked by someone with an equally strong soul.

Think about souls, another set caught her eye. A guy seemed to also be sat alone but had two souls. Looking at him, she was slightly confused and curious at the same time before deciding he to would be picked soon. He held to souls and therefore more power then one soul might if he could control them both.

Feeling he own soul shrink slightly in comparison she smiled again, her usual sad smile. Her soul was weak and despite the fact that she had the ability to see other's souls, she still wasn't very strong and could not take on moe then her crossbow form. She was weaker then most here and it would be surprising if anyone choice her...

Hige yawned as he wandered into the classroom that would be his place of learning for a while. He had stayed up late the night before, reading his favorite book for the tenth time. If it wasn't for his alarm he would have overslept. He was one of the first people to arrive so he took a seat not only in the back, but also in a corner. That way he could see everybody in the room if needed. The people in the room were already chatting, trying to find their weapons or meisters. But honestly, Hige wasn't worried about it. If they had to go out of their ways to find someone, then it wasn't the right person. He'd know his partner when he saw them.

Hige pulled his book out of his bag and continued reading where he had left off the night before. Instantly becoming emerged in the world that the book created. But that peace didn't last long, as more people started to come in, the noise got louder and louder. It was becoming very hard to submerge himself in the world of the book, when all the noise from the real world drowned it out. He wanted to say something, to tell them all to shut up and let him concentrate, but it wasn't in his nature to do so. Only a few seconds later he heard a female voice yelling at everyone to shut up. He looked up from his book to see that there was another person in the back row. He had been so focused on reading that he hadn't even noticed her.

She was pretty that was sure. Though he had never seen anyone with skin that dark before, not in Japan. He couldn't help but smile a little bit, not because of her looks, but because she had told everyone to shut up. Literally seconds after he had thought it. He wondered for a moment if she could read minds, then decided that it was a silly thing to think. "She's so different." He mumbled to himself, not thinking of the fact that she could probably hear him.

Skyler was having argument in his head with Skylar has he heard a girl shout 'SHUT UP.' Followed by 'Good. Now keep it that way.' Skyler looks to the girl as his stubbornness got a hold of him, he sat up straight and looked at the girl as he told her. "Bite me!" Skyler then sighed as just then another girl came up to him and sat next to him. Skyler blind a little confused what she was doing as she slide him a not. "Looks like someone missed his morning coffee~" He looked at the note and then looks at the girl as the words slip from his mouth. "And what if i did!?" As he was going to say something he was cut off by a voice in his head. 'Hey be nice, she took the time to come up to you and talk, if your not going to be nice. Switch with me!' Skyler made a tisk sound as he had no choice, he grabbed the eye patched on his left eye and moved it over to his right. Skylar then opened his left eye and smiles at the girl. Skylar blinked a little seeing the scar on the girl as she wrote another letter and moved it over to him. "I take it you're new here? I'm new too. Shame no one is picking you yet. But I'm sure you'll find a Meister so lighten up. Oh, I'm Misano Amane by the way. Who're you?"

Skylar smiles and chuckles a little. "My names Skylar, and the big mouth Mr.grumpy was Skyler. If you hadn't guess we share this body, basically two minds, one body. Oh and yea it is, but its understandable, since our soul wave length is unstable and no one, but probably a special person with a soul wave length that can match any one would be able to pair with us.. Skylar then looks around the room him self, he then looked toward a girl who was someone what staring at him. He smiles at the girl as he waved to her. He then turned his attain back at Misano.

The young blonde male spotted evryone and then jumped up on the desks. "I bet I'm the best in here!" he said with a very cocky attitude. He had turned towards the female from earlier and smiled. "I honestly, don't see the problem with the noise." he said in a very loud voice. As he did he made sure all the meister's see his proud,ditzy,arrogant, and last but not least his kindness. The blonde smiled and sat back down waiting for something to happen. He was visually searching for a partner to match his....uh what did his father say? He silently sang to himself as he wasited for someone to approach his uh......dang he really had to remember that word.

The sound of a chair falling over broke Hige out of his book. Again. With a small sigh, he looked up to see the dark skinned girl who had shut everybody up coming over. She sat on the desk in front of him and crossed her legs, one of them ending up in his lap. When she spoke, he had to admit that she sounded scary. But he wasn't one to back down, pretty much ever. He set the book down on his bag, with the assumption that it would be a while before he got the chance to read it again. This situation could go one of three ways, yelling, fisticuffs, or a teacher would walk in and they would quietly glare at each other through the lesson. "I said you're different. I never met someone like you in Japan." His tone was a mixture of calm and blunt. But if things escalated, that wouldn't be the case for long.

Hige genuinely meant what he said. He hadn't met anyone like this girl in Japan. Looks wise, or attitude wise. He kind of liked it. And he had the feeling that they would be butting heads. A lot. If neither of them died horribly that is. He locked eyes with the girl, his gold orbs meeting her silver ones. He wished he could see souls, because he was suddenly curious as to what this girl's soul was like.

Hige kept his eyes locked with the girl's. Not daring to be the first to look away. When she reached up and began to touch his face, he still didn't move. It wasn't that he liked it when strangers touched his face. But he didn't dislike it either. He could feel something past her fingers, he zoned out for a moment, keeping his eyes on hers. He focused on the feeling and quickly discovered that it was her soul wavelength. He may not have been able to see souls, but due to his control of his own wavelengths he could sense other people's. Her wavelengths were strong and a little bit on the scary side. Unlike his own which, while still strong, were energetic and bouncy. He decided to try something.

Hige let his focus shift from her wavelengths, to his own. Channeling just a small amount into the girl's. He wanted to see if they were compatible. The result was interesting. Her wavelength had an iron grip on his, still letting them move, but stopping them from bouncing around. While his wavelengths circled hers, keeping the scary and intimidating stuck inside, while still letting them be strong. Their wavelengths didn't match, but they complimented each other so well it made them compatible. Hige finally shifted his focus back to the girl herself. Just in time to see her stick her tongue out at him. He couldn't help but smile at that. She wanted to know his name.

He opened his mouth to speak, but remembered that this was America and they said their first name and then their last name. Unlike Japan who did the opposite. So he quickly corrected himself and used the American way of saying it. "I'm Hige Shizuka." He broke eye contact just long enough to glance around the classroom. A lot of kids had arrived and he guessed that class would be starting in about ten minutes. If he was correct in that he had zoned out for about five. "How about you, what's your name?"

Hige let himself relax a little bit, now that he knew the girl, wasn't going to kill him. Her name was Jerrica, a name as different as the rest of her to Hige. And one that was just as pretty. He was almost certain that Jerrica was the one, his partner and weapon. He wanted to get to know her better, what her weapon form was, why she was in the DWMA, even the smallest things. But before he could say anything, she asked him what his story was. For a moment he didn't answer, wanting to make sure he knew what she was talking about and he was going to answer first. "Well, I'm afraid it isn't a very interesting one. I was born in Kyoto, Japan. I'm the oldest of five, three girls and two boys. My father left after Tsubame, the youngest, was born, leaving our mother to raise us alone. I did everything I could to help, from chores, to earning whatever money I could, to taking care of the my siblings. I guess I've always wanted to join the DWMA but kept it to myself since my family needed me."

Hige paused, wondering if he should tell Jerrica that it had taken him nearly working himself to death and his mother practically kicking him out of the house to get him here. He decided that he would, if they were to be partners they would need to be honest with each other. "My mother has a weak immune system, which she passed on to most of us. Except for me. So of course, when an illness spread through our neighborhood, I was the only one in our family to catch it. The doctor's said it was because I was working myself so hard trying to help my mother. One of my friends told my mother about my dream of coming here, because they were worried about me working myself to death. My mother had to nearly disown me to get me out of the house and come here. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to, but I didn't want to leave them."

He turned away when he said the last part, feeling a little shy about telling Jerrica all this. Potential partners or not, they were still practically strangers. But he felt he could trust her, yet another thing that made Hige feel that they were meant to be partners.

Hige frowned, he was pretty sure he knew what she meant by everything. He knew why she did it, and didn't think any less of her for doing so. He had gotten really close to doing the same thing a couple of times, but he got lucky and never actually had to. It made him think more of her, her ability to do whatever she had to, in order to protect her family. He didn't know if he should do it, but he wanted to comfort her. He wasn't sure if she would take it well or not. But there was only one way to find out. Carefully he reached out and put a hand on Jerrica's shoulder. "I... never had to go as far as you did. But I got pretty close a few times. The only difference is that I got lucky and you didn't. I don't think any less of you for it. I think more of you."

It was then that Hige realized he didn't know whether she was a weapon or a meister. He really hoped they weren't both meisters because then they could be partners. They could still be friends though and he was certain that they would be. As much as he wanted to know what she was, he didn't say anything. His desire to not ruin the moment outweighed his desire to learn. But just this once.
