I am Weapon

Chapter 1: E.A.T Class! First Extra Curricular Lesson.

E.A.T is an acronym standing for Especially Advantaged Talent which is a structural course that envolves the student to undertake various missions to go out onto the field and reclaim tainted souls along with collecting 100 souls in total. Being in this class however, is a very difficult task to be managed as only 10% of the student body are exceptional enough to perform at this high level. Students are required to potentially risks their lifes on every outing to rid the world of more harm. The combatants of the course are also known as agents. Some high-level Meister and Weapon teams are sometimes called upon to take part in large battles against separate societies that are declaring war with the Shibusen.

This is also the class that Naruto Uzumaki was placed in. He was quite proud of this achievement after Maka explained to him that not all can enter E.A.T class.

He sat by the window in the classroom dubbed as the "Crescent Moon Class", content in amusing himself by engaging the sun in a staring contest. It never stopped to boggle his mind how the sun could smile that wide and no one notices them... Its like someone was putting a giant illusion on the sun. Don't get him started with the moon. Looking at that bloody psychotic smile plastered to the eternally crescent shapped moon was nothing less than traumatic.

"Morning!"

Naruto turned his head from his staring contest -ignoring the sun's smug laughing- to look at Soul and Maka. The weapon-meister pair sat themselves in the spot beside his calmly, or in soul's case sleepily. "So, how's your sleep?" Naruto asked absently.

"Good." Maka smiled.

"..Bad." Soul grumbled, rubbing his back.

Naruto smiled wryly at both of them. "Thought so." He leaned back and let his backbone stretch, resulting in a pleasing pop. "The mattress in the male's dorm is as hard as stone. Bumpy too." He complained, Soul nodding along the way. "Why was it that males has to suffer through bad living conditions?" He complained dramatically to the empty air. (A/N: I'm male and i know how this feels.)

"I feel your pain." Soul mumbled.

Maka smiled dryly at the both of them. "I wonder why i felt nothing." She deadpanned.

They watched in silence as students filled in to the class and seated themselves randomly, with partner or their close friends. Soul contented himself by placing his head on the table and slept the reminder of the morning, something Maka was disapproving of. Naruto and Maka perked up when they saw the demon sword meister coming in to the class.

"Bee~eecky!" Naruto jumped through several rows of table straight towards his meister.

For her credit, Rebecca only froze for a second with a muffled 'Eeep!' before dodging the human bullet with all the agility of a hungry cheetah. Naruto, a prisoner to his own momentum, slammed face first on the black board in the front of the classroom.

All conversation was silenced in an instant before a full-blown laughter resounded.

"Why don't you catch me?" Naruto moaned in despair, a gloomy aura shrouding him. "It was meant to be a dramatic hug.."

"It is!?" The purple haired meister exclaimed in shock, still shaken through her near death experience. "It looked like one of those human catapult to me. Or a body blow.." She muttered before shrugging. "Eh, well.. " She then walked towards Maka and Soul who was still laughing at Naruto's misfortune.

~0o0o0o0~

Naruto let a sigh flow out of his mouth.

What a let down.. He thought to himself. He was expecting some sort of combat training. Being trained down to the ground, drenched in sweat and blood as they pushed themselves harder. Okay.. Not so hardcore, but you get the gist of it. But still, the lesson about Evil Human, Witches, Kishin, yadda yadda yadda was more interesting than algebra or the Evolution Theories.

He had to admit that studying about Souls are better than studying what kind of bacterias are staying in your appendix. At least, he really would use the knowledge later in these mission E.A.T class students are known to take, fighting the Evil Humans and Witches and whatnot..

"That's the fifth sigh in this one period." Rebecca muttered, adding a line to the tally in her book. "What a let down.." She slumped in her seat, mumbling about how he wished to just go and eat a hot dog somewhere.

"That's exactly what i just thought." Naruto admitted, adding some more notes lazily to his notebook. "I'm only writing these because Maka threatened me with a chop." On cue, Maka raised her big-ass dictionary book by one hand and made chopping motion with it, causing Soul and Naruto to flinch at the sight. "That dictionary is evil.." He murmured.

"I know." Soul whispered back. "It must have possessed Maka, or something.." He eyed the book with the utmost apprehension he could put, wishing the book would spontaneously combust.

"Stop speaking like i'm not here." Maka said calmly, not peeling her eyes away from the blackboard, moving her hands without even looking at it. "You should start paying attention. It might prove invaluable later.." She advised.

"Bookworm.." Soul accused.

"Nerdy~" Naruto smiled slyly.

"Librarian?" Naruto and Soul turned to stare at Rebecca, giving her the classic Are-you-serious? look. She blushed "What!? I know that's a bad one, but i try!"

Maka looked at them, unimpressed. "Are you guys ganging up on me?" She asked. She sighed and looked back to the blackboard. "Meh, whatever.." She grumbled and silently, like all good students, went on with her notes and ignoring all the rumblings of the peanut gallery. It was just right on time too, Sid-sensei decided to get a new chew toy and turned to check on a potential target to chew an ear off. Finding said targets (I.e Soul, Naruto and Becky), the knife-meister picked up three chalk sticks and threw them with all the precision of a marksman.

The first hit soul right in the forehead. The albino fell down his seat with a bruised forehead and a chalk sticking out of it.

The second hit Naruto in the cheeks, sending his sideways and almost colliding into Becky if not for the third chalk-stick which curved mid way before hitting Becky and struck Naruto on his other cheeks, practicaly sending him away and down into the floor to join Soul with a bruised cheeks and a chalk stick sticking out of his cheeks.

"It.. curved." Rebecca eyed the chalk piece interestedly before turning to the teacher and gave him a thumbs up. "Nice! Sid-sensei."

Sid-sensei looked nonplussed and merely shrugged before looking back to the whole class. "Now, since we have covered the basic information you have to know to go on extracurricular activities, it is time to get on the practical side!" He declared. Upon the sounding of the word 'practical', Naruto and Soul stood and scrambled back to their seats while other students sat straighter in the seat.

"We'll do a sparring test so i will know about your current capabilities and assign you an acceptable assignment." He informed and walked to the door of the class room. "Well? What are you waiting for? Get to the gym!"

That order was the only thing they need to turn on their gears, get on their feet and start moving.

~0o0o0o0~

It was awhile later after the students successfully navigated themselves through the architectually mind-crippling design of the school to the changing room where they changed to whatever training clothes they possessed upon their selves and trickled in to the gym afterwards, ready to prove their worth and show each of their classmates who's the alpha.

Naruto resisted the urge to roll his eyes and instead opted to let an anime-style sweatdrop to trail down the back of his head as he eyed the group of students glaring daggers and murders to each other. Glancing to the side, Naruto watched amusedly as his partner aloofly ignored the glares without a care in the world. Well, if she's not going to do the deed, i might as well. With that decision, Naruto turned to the peoples that glared at his meister and flashed them one of his infamous madman grin.

The dastardly traumatizing, mind-numbing, bladder destroying grin that he used each time he wanted to prank somebody silly that made people scream in terror as if all the hounds of hell was sic-ed on them. Needless to say, the masses left him alone.

"You need to teach me that." Soul said from beside him. "It's cool to shut people up with a glare. Cool guys like me need to learn that."

Naruto nodded and grinned back at him. "Yes, yes. You're going to be my apparentice in the art of Devil Grins."

"Ehem!" Sid-sensei fake-coughed to gain the attention of the class, effectively shutting up any of the rambunctious teens that might attempt to cause some sort of rebellious movement. "Now then. Why don't we start with-" from then on, Naruto just watched the proceedig fights with mixed interest. Several gained his interest, some not.

He rather liked Kim Diehl's improvised use of her partner, Jacquelin O. Lantern Dupre, as a metal batt which involved numerous hard pummelings of her opponent, a bald guy with swirly nerdy glasses named Ox Ford and his partner Harvar D. Seriously, he was expecting Cambridge to appear any moment.

"Next! Maka Albarn & Soul Eater-" Sid called out

"We're up, Maka." Soul pointed.

"Everyone can see that." She pointed out. "Who are we going up ag-"

"- Vs. Rebecca Morley & Naruto Uzumaki."

"Oh. Nevermind." Maka dismissed.

The two pairs of combatant moved on to the ring where they were given the space to spar. With a nod to their Meisters, Naruto and Soul turned into their respective Demon Weapon forms. Rebecca sweatdropped. "Is it just me or did they just mirrored each other?"

"They certainly did." Maka responded with a shrug as she spun the scythe and rested it upon her shoulders. "Ready?" She asked, adjusting her stance as she did so.

"Oh please! I'm born ready." The purplette spread her legs apart in a stance as she positioned the sword in front of her body. "Hey, blondie? You got some awesome power like that Pot kids?" She asked seriously, tightening her grip around the hilt of the black sword in her arms.

"How the hell am i supposed to know?" He asked his tone practically oozing puzzlement. "Anyway, let's win this."

Maka spun her scythe in big arcs before bringing it down to the ground, intent on slicing them to tiny bits. The Swordmeister quickly raised her sword and blocked the swing, grunting as she struggled to hold her footing. Rebecca spun on the balls of her feet, pulling her weapon from the deadlock as she did so, resulting in the scythe coming down and stabbing into the floor, stuck. Realizing her mistake, Maka jumped high using her scythe's pole as a stepping stone to dodge the blade swung her way by Rebbeca.

"Not bad." The Swordmeister commented.

"You're not too shabby yourself." Maka acknowledged, landing on her feet with the grace of a cat before pulling her scyhe back from its position in the ground. "Let's take this a notch." Maka said before she dashed towards them, swinging her scythe in an overhead swing. Rebecca ducked down before jumping back to dodge the pommel of the scythe heading her way. Deciding that she had enough of being in the defensive, the purplette raised her sword and dashed with a slash to the torso, which was swiftly blocked. Both kicked away and moved back from yet another stalemate.

Rebecca held the Katana in one hand and lunged forward in a thrust. Quickly and precisely, she thrusted her sword forward to stab the living daylight out of the Scythemeister. Maka dodged and blocked the sword as best she could, swinging her scythe once in a while to get her own shot in.

"It gets kinda boring you know?" Naruto's reflection appeared in his blade as he commented. "Just watching as your partner swing you around like this.." He then sighed in boredom.

"Really? I think its pretty fun, shouting off warning and the likes.." Soul commented as his blade and Naruto's clashed for the umpteenth time. "I wonder if i have a cool power like those Pot kids." He wondered aloud.

"Me too, Tsubaki said her clan was famous for having multitude form per person. I wonder if i could have many forms too.." He pitched in his wonderings along, pointedly ignoring that he was being pitted against his chatting partner.

"Would you two please stop treating this like a walk through the park?" Maka asked, exasperated by our casual act. "Seriously.."

Maka lunged forward, thrusting the pommel of the scythe to slam Rebecca in the head. The purplette simply let it sail pass her head as she dodged. She jumped high into the air when maka swung her scythe forward to complete her combo. She landed perfectly on her feet, sword once again raised in front of her to defend in case the sandy haired Scythemeister was going for another strike.

"Enough!" Sid sensei boomed his order. Both meister released their stances and bowed before letting their weapons tranform back to their human forms. "I've got enough data to assign you to your first mission or as many would prefer to call: extracurricular activities. Plese visit the assignment board to pick your mission after class. Dismissed!"

~0o0o0o0~

As told, the entirety of Crescent Moon Class appeared at the assignment board after school and picked whatever mission interested them. The proses, Naruto and Maka noted, was eeriely similar to the discount sale in the market at a shopping district in the middle of June -which translates to: crowded to the point of being crushed and squashed like some kind of cheap greasy sandwich. The squashing got to the point that Rebecca had to use her patented Elbow Strike to push some of the more vigorous mission hunter back.

"Geez." The purplette grumbled. "Even ducks coud be patient and set a line!"

"You're not making a line yourself though." Naruto and Maka pointed, looking a way from her as they did.

Soul just stood back, leaning on the wall with a lazy and bored expression on his face, looking as laidback as ever. The albino scythe chose to left the mission picking to Maka, too cool to care for such a thing. "So, what do you get?" He asked, just for the sake of keeping the conversation going.

"We took a mission to slay a Kishin Egg that terrorized a small town in Ohio.. The Mad Gourmet his name is." She informed. "Responsible for twelve case of murder as he tried to create some sort of special uber gory dish." She added further. "Well, that's mine and Naruto's. What about yours Maka?" The purple haired Swordmeister asked.

"We are going to hunt a no name serial murderer." Maka informed. "Easy enough for beginners like us." She nodded to herself, agreeing with her own input on the matter.

"Huh!? That's so lame! Couldn't you get us something cooler to hunt? Becky, Let's swap mi-" He was promptly dragged off into the distance by the scruff of his neck, Maka huffing indignantly as she dragged her wayward partner away.

Naruto closed his eyes and sighed. "Well, let's go. We got a mission to do and a stupid cook to kill." He said.

"Are you trying to act cool?" She asked blankly as she walked; black leather jacket glinting in the afternoon sun and boots thumping against the marble floor, gait strong yet elegant, looking every bit like a patented Femme Fatale. "Cuz' if you do, you're seriously succeeding, just change that hideous orange hoodie into something more.. baddass." She pointed out, fishing out a black sunglasses and putting them on.

"It's always the orange. What do you people have against Orange!?" He complained.

"And that baddassery is gone." She added dryly. "Just a question. How are we supposed to get to Ohio when we're in the middle of a freaking dessert in Nevada?" She asked, bewildered.

"I seriously don't know." Naruto admitted with a non-committal shrug. "Where is Tsubaki when you need her.." The blonde Weapon grumbled to himself. With a grunt, Naruto walked in the direction Maka and Soul took. "Let's just tail those two. They should know where to go -at least, Maka should." Rebecca nodded, finding no fault in the suggestion her Weapon made and followed him in their quest.

~0o0o0o0~

The town of Candell was a small and peaceful town in Ohio. The town wasn't large and houses only two hundred lives. In other words, a perfect place for a budding Kishin Egg to make their hunting ground.

"It's always the little secluded town." Rebecca groaned. "I can almost hear the foreboding music and crows cawing in the background." She snarked.

"For your information, there's a real crow over there." Naruto pointed to a small flock of big black bird cawing ominously up in the sky as it circled around the town. "Wew. Jeeper's creeper scenario everyone?" The blonde Katana joked.

Rebecca punched his shoulder lightly, though she was smirking at his joke. "Anyway, I'm curious. I wanna see if the horror movie theories could be applied in real life." With that, the purplette pulled out a black notebook from her pants pocket and skimmed through several page before stopping. "Rule No.1: Don't spread out. Move in groups and always carry weapon." She read aloud.

"I'm technically and literally your weapon so you're going with me." Naruto replied. "Let's see the next rule."

The sword meister flipped the paper to the next page. "Rule No.2: Stay virgin. Never have sex in the middle of dark places if you value your life." She read out nonchalantly.

"Pfft! We aren't having sex." Naruto spluttered.

"A shame." Becky muttered.

"W-what!? Did you just say-"

"Next rule, folks. Rule No.3: Black skinned people, usually guys, always dies first." She interrupted, looking at Naruto and studying his tan skin.

"What? I'm not black, I'm nicely tan. I'll have you know that most girls think my tan's hot." He huffed, folding his hands on his chest. "And i'm not gonna die without some seriously epic fight." He added, almost like an after thought.

"Sure?" SHe replied unsurely.

"Why are you giving me a question as a reply?" Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Both meister and weapon continued their easy banter as they walked through the silent almost dead-empty town, studying the layout of the little settlement as they did so. Before they knew it, the laughing orang slab of stone known as the sun went to sleep and sank to the great beyond, replacing it in its throne up in the sky, was the demented psychotic visage of the golden crescent moon.

Their hunt begins now.

"Now, what do we get from the rules again?" Naruto asked.

"Rule No.7: Avoid dark creepy places." Rebecca intoned. "Well, as Spongebob says, today's the Reversal Day. We're going there, partner. Be sharp!" She said, opening the palm of her hand as Naruto glowed a blinding orange before his body reformed into a Katana and landed softly onto her outstretched hand.

The purplette schooled herself, taking a deep breath and steadying her heart beat to prepare for her first ever face to face meeting with a potential death. Finally after what seemed like hours, the sword meister took one small step into the all consuming darkness of the alleyway.

She gripped the Katana as tight as humanly possible, hands white and sweating profusely. She was tense, her whole body straight and stiff as a tightly drawn bow string. Her step was soft and cautious, almost no sound was made by the sole of her shoes and her eyes never stayed still in one place, always moving from one corner to another at the slightest sign of movement, ready to swing her blade and bifurcate whatever the hell was snooping on her.

"Becky, you need to calm down." Naruto's reflection appeared on the blade.

"Talk like that when you're the one outside." She all but hissed the words out of her mouth. "The tension's mind-fucking me. I need my warm cocoa, dammit!" She complained. She was about to spew another complain about the situation when a slight cracking rang through the alleyway along with a blur of movement from the shadows. With agility never shown before, the purple-haired meister turned around and whipped the Katana out of its scabbard, effectively blocking a butcher knife aimed to chop his face in two.

"CoOK.. tHe.. LivIng PorK."

The one who holds the butcher knife was totally not human, not by a long shot. The kishin egg was tall, towering over the purplette by a wide margin. It was also fat and large with greasy slicked back white hair, chubby deformed face, gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth, and rabbit like ears. What's more disturbing, was the giant snapping jaw filled with sharp serated teeth on his torso.

"Keep your distance from me, Freak!" Becky all but kicked the figure away from her, mindful to avoid the large jaw on his body. "Wait! did that abomination just called me, a perfectly awesome sexy kickass lady, a pork!? Oooo... There's gonna be a funeral!" She roared.

"Give me B! Give me E! Give me-" Naruto cheered.

"Cut the useless crap!"

Becky jumped back, avoiding a gaint butcher knife aimed at her. Taking her chance, the purple haired meister hopped up a trash can and leaped as high as she could, bringing down her Katana for a downright slash to cut the arm. A cry of steel rang through the dark alleyway and Rebecca widened her eyes, for her blade doesn't meet its aim and instead crashed on a large silver fork.

"You gotta be shitting me!" She cried as the mad gourmet slapped her down using the fork and pinned her by the neck between the fork's gap.

"Becky! Guard now!" Naruto cried out, seeing the incoming butcher knife aimed at her stomach.

Without wasting a moment, she raised her Katana and blocked the killing blow. She released a strained groan as her muscles strained on holding back the butcher knife, the mad gourmet having bigger strength than her. "Uurgh.. Can't hold on!" She groaned.

"Becky!" Naruto cried out in worry even as he gritted his teeth to strengthen his blade and sharpen it, hoping that it could hold the butcher knife from advancing even closer to his meister's body. "Try to calm your mind!" He said.

"Calm my mind!? Are you insane? How am I supposed to calm my mind when there's a butcher knife the size of Honda motorcycle mere inches to my stomach!?" She screamed.

"I don't care how, you gotta do it! Our best bet is the Soul Resonance!" Naruto screamed back, he paused however, as the feel of pressure diappeared from his blade. He looked up to see that the Mad Gourmet was rising its hand, preparing to slam down the butcher knife. "Please Becky, we're gonna die here!"

"I'm trying, goddamit!" She closed her eyes shut and steadied her breathing, reaching deep down to where she once felt her wavelength. Similarly, Naruto closed his eyes, reaching deep inside him for the power he summoned on his first day on the Shibusen to change his form completely into a blade.

Naruto opened his eyes to see that he was back into the ocean of inky darkness like his first day in Shibusen, a bright orange ball half the size of his body glowing vibrantly in front of him. Naruto absently noted that it had a grinning face and whisker marks that looked disturbingly similar to his own. Naruto stepped forward to the ball of light and touched it.

He immediately took a step back as the light changed its orb-like form into something else. When the light finally finished morphing, there was a complete set of drums in front of him, looking pristine and ethereal in the inky darkness around them.

"A.. Drum?" He asked himself unsurely. "What am I supposed to do with this?" He asked.

Naruto hesitantly took one of the drumsticks and held it in front of his face, inspecting the grinning fox logo plastered at its handle. He shrugged and, with a great skepticism, pounded it into one of the drums.

There was a pulse of orange energy that rippled around him and the inky darkness seems to vibrate and shake.

"That's.. Soul Wavelength!" He shouted in realization. "I'm not good with music..." He said as he grabbed the other drumstick with his hands. "But many says I have great instinct so.." He took his position in the middle of the many different drums in front of him and raised his hands. "I'll set the tune."

He started pounding the drum into an odd but strangely interesting rhytm. Naruto closed his eyes and smiled at the tune he was creating. It suited him perfectly, he thought. His friends back home says that he was unique and more than a bit odd, unpredictable and uncoordinated and new people would say that he was very different from others... but then..

It was also what made him so Interesting.

In the real world, the Katana sword started to glow a vibrant vermillion while Rebecca gained a bluish aura around herself, sparks of white lightning crackling around her and the sword. She raises her sword towards the incoming blade and opened her eyes, glaring at the gigantic form of the Mad Gourmet. Sparks of white lightning crakled louder around her as she focused on resonating Naruto's wavelength.

"SOUL RESONANCE!" Both Weapon and Meister shouted.

There was a small shudder coming from the glowing blade before it shot out and elongated at impossible speed towards the incoming butcher knife. It connected, the force and speed by which the Demon Weapon was moving at caused a large shockwave to rock the area and shatter the neaarby glasses. the meister pointedly ignored the screams and shouted curses of the people inside.

The butcher knife, as thick and big a piece of steel it was, held no power in comparison to the Demon Weapon enchanced by the power of Soul Resonance. So, with a loud cry and groan, it gave up and broke apart, letting the sword to torpedo its way towards the head of the Kishin egg. There was a loud sickening squelch as the glowing orange blade pierced through the head and continues to elongate through the dark sky, dragging the now-lifeless body of the Mad Gourmet to dangle on its length, proudly showcased to anyone watching.

The body suddenly turned into a pitch black colour before turning into a swirling tornado of reddish darkness and exploded in a shower of red sparks, leaving an eeriely glowing red kishin egg in its stead. The Katana shot back down, dragging the pierced Kishin egg as it shortened its length to its normal size, signifying that the Soul Resonance was already done.

Rebecca released her hold of the sword, letting it transform back into Naruto Uzumaki who held the red soul in his hands.

"Get this thing off of me." She said.

"Nu-uh. You gotta be more polite about it." Naruto tutted. "Say please~"

"Screw you!" Rebecca cried.

"Aww. C'mon, You wanna get it offa you right?"

"I do, but.."

"C'mon.. I know you want it.." Naruto teased.

"I do, but.."

"Beeecckkyyyy~" Naruto whined.

"Uuuh.. Fine." She relented. "P-please."

Naruto grinned and turned his hand into a blade. With a swift swing of his hand, he cut the shaft of the forks before pulling the rest of the giant cutlery off the ground, letting the purple haired sword meister to get back up to her feet.

The attack came so sudden that Naruto couldn't dodge it. He slumped to the ground, a glowing red and slightly smoking swell on his head. "You ass! Do you know that I just survived a possible death scenario and currently having a traumatic near-death anxiety attack!? And you just asked me to beg you to pull a piece of fucking cutlery!" She ranted.

"B-but you looked really lively now.." He commented painfully.

"What was that?" Her purple eyes glowed dangerously in the darkness and suddenly, Naruto could see the apparition of a snarling panther roaring behind her.

"Nothing." He squeaked quickly. He got back up to his feet and dusted his clothing of any dirt it might caught during the fight before looking at the glowing red soul in his hand. "So.. what am I supposed to do with this?" He asked.

"Eat it, of course." She answered.

"What!? Eew.. No way! I mean, look at it! It got this wiggling upper part and rusted bottom part. It looked like a monster meatball! I don't like meatballs and I don't- BUH!?" His rant was interrupted when Rebecca grabbed the corrupted sould and force fed the thing to him. After a whole lot of puking and coughing later, Naruto stood back up on his feet, wheezing and panting.

"So?"

"It's bland." Naruto deadpanned.

"Then why do you puke!?" She sweat dropped. "Just a question, how are we supposed to go home again?"

T.B.C
