Guess who read too many Skull stories, including crossovers? This gal right here. So, enjoy this little story!

Edit: minor grammar, spelling and pronoun changes!


"For once in your death could you stop winning the coin toss," the pain behind the mutter was heard clearly by the companion who was grimacing at the coin themselves.

"I'm trying!" The companion whined. Death twitched and slowly brought up a hand to the bridge of its nose. "You know I've been trying to throw off the toss for the last 70 gos!"

"You must be blessed by Lady Luck. The probability for you to keep guessing the coin toss correctly is minuscule and yet you still manage!" Death finally raised its voice. Its companion puffed up.

"Well excuse me! There is no need to shout. It's not like I'm doing this on purpose," they whined once again, a pout forming on their face. Already, the bullet wound was closing up and their face was aging to look older and then younger before settling at the age they arrived in.

"I think I'm gonna go male this time," the-he said mulishly, his chin became more defined and a slight Adam's apple appeared, however the change in his appearance was very slight and only those who paid constant attention could tell the change. He wondered absentmindedly if any of the others would confront him about it or at least notice. All of them would probably notice that at least something was different and maybe Viper would subtly ask him about it.

Although they were growing up after the curse together so maybe none of them would find it odd, probably put it down to puberty.

"Skull," Death said, the distaste for his name still present, but at least it was nothing like the temper tantrum it threw when it first learnt of it along with the 'hated by the Grim Reaper himself' line he used. "Do you want to go back to the moment you died? Or maybe you want to go to a different world again?" It asked, the undertone of 'I'm still pissed, don't cross me' still present in its voice. It knew his answer, but it still wanted him to voice it.

"Stay in this world, the moment I died please! The Great Skull-sama is not yet finished here!" Skull exclaimed, throwing his arms out. No blemish or scar was left to indicate his death.

Death inhaled softly, "why must you embarrass me so?" It asked rhetorically.

"Skull-sama has no idea what you are talking about! Skull-sama is the most awesome-" Skull was exclaiming with a grin, before Death cut in.

"Stop. Just," here it waved its' covered hands, the fake scythe clutched tightly. "Just stop that," and here, Death looked more defeated than Skull has ever seen.

"Umm, well," Skull scratched his chin, looking at the small cloud of depression over Death's head. "Well, I guess I'll just-"

"I had such an easy death," Death complained. Skull sat down on the ground, not bothering to hide his sigh. "Just reaping souls. Sure, sometimes they called the toss. But in the end, Life gave them to me after they lived another life or two," here, it took a swing of a bottle that appeared from nowhere, "And then, I had the displeasure of reaping your soul-"

"Yeah, yeah," here Skull cut in with a roll the of his eyes. "Here came I, who somehow guessed every toss correctly, even when I did not want to. With a booming number of 120 or something-"

"It is 127," Death grumbled, stood to its full height. The cloud from before vanished along with the bottle of dubious origins, leaving behind irritation and resignation.

"-yeah that. Ruining your schedule and the plans Fate had for the worlds I jump into," he said with a wave of his hand. He paused and looked up at Death curiously. "Is Fate still complaining to you about that? You'd think ney would have given up a hundred gos ago."

Death's hand twitched, whether it wanted to hold the bridge of its nose or to strangle him, Skull had no clue. "Just," it took a deep breath. "Just go."

Skull quickly rose and made his way to the exit.

"Just remember the rules," were the exasperated words that followed Skull out. He waved his hand in acknowledgment and a second later only Death remained.
