(FLASHBACK)
Black☆Star and Kid were dating for a long time. Black☆Star was the first one to ask Kid what he could change his surname to ‘Death’
Kid was surprised at the question and a pink blush spread across his pale-grey face and with a mutter of “Yes…” He never saw the blue hair so happy! A tiny but genuine smile appeared on Kid’s face
(END OF FLASHBACK)
It was a hot and humid day like usual; Professor Stein was in the middle of dissecting an endangered animal and the door slammed open, revealing Black Star, late once again.
All eyes turn to him
“You're late.” Stein said in his monotone voice, “Again, Black Star” The stitch man says, pushing up his circular glasses, not really caring but acting like he does
“My last name isn’t Star.” He says, glaring at him before glancing at Kid, who had his head down but clearly embarrassed, knowing what the bluenette was going to say
“Oh really? Then what is it?” Stein asked, hiding his confusion with indifference. “It’s Death now.” Multiple gasps and shocked expressions, sounds came from the class. Stein looked mildly surprised too but quickly composed it
“Ehh.. just go sit outside since you’re late” Stein says and looked back at the class and continued teaching
…..
Whispers were in the hallway as Kid and Black Star, no- Black Death, walked down the hallways. Soon an announcement came on, “Will Black Star and Death The Kid report to the Death Room?” It repeated
“Ugh, I’m so tired of people saying “Star” It’s not my surname anymore.” Black Death says to Kid, as their direction changed to the way of the Death Room, of course Lord Death heard about it.

“Whazzap, Whaaaa zzap! How ya doing?” An cheerful voice came from the Shinigami, “Sooo, I heard a certain someone changed their surname. How long?” He asked
“Six months.” Kid admitted, bracing himself for the dramatic but shocked sounds.
“Six months!? And you didn’t tell me, your own father!?” The Shinigami clutched his chest dramatically but was genuinely somewhat hurt by this.
“mhm…” Black Death hummed, as if confirming his question
“Moving on from that… Anyways, there’s this witch that is on the outskirts of the city—” He didn’t even get to finish before the two dashed off, “There they go… I didn’t mention that the witch was an interesting individual but powerful. Teens never listens. Youngsters, am I right?” Lord Death said before looking at his mirror and looking at the two teens getting prepared to go to the outskirts of death city.
“They’re a piece of work, aren’t they?” Stein said in his usual monotone, cranking that damn screw while smoking his third cigarette today.
“Haven’t I told you to try and at least quit smoking inside and in general?” Lord Death said, feigning disappointment
“Maybeeee…?” Stein shrugs, extending the ‘e’ in a playful tone, “Anyways, about this witch… This particular one specializes in splitting and recombining souls, isn’t this a little out of their league to handle?” He questions, but already knowing the answer
“Yes, but this mission fits perfectly for the two, don’t ya think?” Lord Death cheerfully says, like usual but he has his doubts about this
……
“I heard that this witch can split souls and bring g-ghosts…” Liz complained and shivered at that, clinging to her younger sister
“Hahaha! Don’t worry big sis! I’ll knock them all out for you!!” Patty cheerfully says, not afraid at all about ghosts while patting her older sister’s shoulder with her hand on her hip, laughing loudly
Tsubaki chuckled at the sister’s fascinating dynamic.

“Liz, Patty, transform.” Kid says, “Ohhh-kayyy!” as they obliged and transformed into twin pistols, already in his hands, ready for battle
“Tsubaki.” He says, “Right!” She says, transforming into her usual weapon form.
…
At first, Black Death is completely confident, like always…
“I’ll take her down before you get a chance!” The blue haired says, as Tsubaki apologetically sighs at her meister and friend’s confidence
Kid sighs, “Of course, you say it every mission, you know that?” He took a glance at Black Death before a genuine smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly, a slash came between them! A badly bleeding scratch formed on Black Death’s forearm, “Where the hell did that come from?!" He looked away before finally spotting her, Sputter the fire witch
She wore- well, actually, flames covered her parts. It looked like she really wasn’t wearing anything except for the flames covering her lower part and breast
“Oh? Two young meisters from the academy came to visit me? How lovely, this will be fun~” She says cunningly
