Chapter 1: Death by Otaku

(DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER NOR DO I CLAIM TO! IF I DID, DEATH THE KID WOULD BE MINE! NO COPY RIGHT INFRINGEMENT!)

"A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body..." chants a girl as she pulls on two white gloves. Her pale blonde hair is pulled back into two thick ponytails as her silvery gray eyes stare at her reflection. She wore a long black overcoat with white cufflinks over a tan uniform vest and green and yellow striped tie with a red and black plaid skirt. Suddenly, a voice snaps her out of her trance.

"Come on, Kassandra. We're going to be late!" shouts a girl from the other room.

"Coming!" I yelled back as I try and put the finishing touches on my costume. The impatient girl leaned against the wall as her cropped brown, pink, and yellow spiked pigtails peeked out of her large white hat with a side red ribbon. She wore blue overall shorts and a red tshirt while tuning into the 4 o'clock news.

"Another victim of the eledged Slasher was found dead this morning in a trash can outside of the Hilton Resort and Casino. The victim appeared to be a young man in his early twenties who came from the Hilton in a drunken stupor, a perfect target for a serial killer. All victims appears to be indescriminate and completely unrelated, so keep the children in at night and keep a wary eye for those one the streets. The victims usually have an X slashed onto their torsos with massive blood splatter trails according to the crime lab reports..."

'Ick...' the girl thought as the tv droned on before a voice interrupted the broadcast.

"Just trying to get into character!" I said, brushing off any blonde hairs off my robe; Whoever said blonde hairs mix with black coats was obviously lying.

"Yeah, well your 'getting into your character' is getting me further and further way from Vic Mignogna, so hurry it up!" she glared as her lavender gray eyes shone with irritation, leaning up against the front door with her arms crossed.

"Hey, you're the one who had the tv on!" I joke as I pulled on a pair of black shoes wound with white belts on them. "Those who are in the Hilton area are told to be on guard for anyone suspicious. If you have any information on the Slasher, please call-" The girl clicks the tv off and tosses the remote on the couch as I grab a large black and red scythe and run out the door and down the hall.

Hi, my name is Kassandra Langdon and the angry girl in the Pokemon Trainer Kotone cosplay is Selene, or Selena for short. We're both 15, best friends, from NYC, and avid Soul Eater fans...Wait sorry, did I say avid? I mean rabid; seriously, just put a simple Soul Eater poster in front of our faces and we'll be drooling like hound dogs. We're both here for an anime convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. Luckily, my parents had to come here for their annual 'business trip' or we'd never be here. Seriously, we'd have to hitchhike or something (god, I can just imagine the 'Las Vegas or Bust' signs...). Anyways, back to the matter at hand...oh yeah, running to the anime convention...

"Did you hear that stuff about the Slasher? Apparently he's claimed another victim, this time near the Hilton." Selena chats as we walk past the front desk, hearing the clinging noises of slot machines.

"Boy did we ever pick a bad time to come to Las Vegas, right when there's a serial killer on the loose and nearby our hotel no less!" I sigh as we walk out of the Hilton.

"Don't worry! If that killer comes within 50 feet of us, I'll go all gansta up on him!" Selena says getting in a fighting stance.

"Haha...Of course you will, Bi..." I chuckle. 'Actually, she could. She did used to be a gang member back in middle school.' I thought, looking at her cute expression. Sometimes I call her Celebi or Bi for short, after her favorite pokemon and because she's just adorable like that. Plus, you just can't make up a good nickname for Selena. It's like trying to rhyme something with orange: It just can't be done. Plus, her personality is very much like Celebi's: childish, playful, and curious. That about sums her up to a 'T'.

After walking down a couple blocks, we begin to weave our way through a large crowd of cosplayers. I walk past a couple failed Naruto cosplayers while passing some of the Miniskirt Army gals, Organization XIII members, and even some Lucky Star girls doing the Lucky Star Dance. I even took a few pictures with some Soul Eater fans, since I am dressed up as Maka Albarn. She's a pretty cool character but my absolute favorite is- Suddenly, a boy wearing a black suit with symmetric rectangles on the collar and buttons walks past us. His black wig has 3 asymmetrical stripes on the left side of his head when he joins up with a boy wearing a pale pink wig and a long black dress. Both Selena and my eyes feast upon the sight that is layed before us.

"Death the Kid and..." I stare oggling.

"Crona..." Selena continues.

"..in the same place...?" I finish at a loss for words.

"This is..." Selena continues, enamored at the glorious site before her.

"Destiny!" we both say in unison clasping our hands together. Oh, did I mention that we're rabid Soul Eater fans? 'Cause things are really about to get crazy right now, since Death the Kid and Crona are our favorite characters. Casually, we both walk over there in the most sofisticated way possible:

"OMIGOD, IT'S CRONA..." Selena squeals.

"AND DEATH THE KID!" I finish as we both run up to the two male cosplayers.

"This is just so awesome!" Selena says hyperly.

"I know, right? Hey, can we get a picture with you guys?" I shriek excitedly.

"Sure, no problem." the Kid cosplayer responds cooly, making us both squeal adoringly.

"Say cheese." Selena says as she snaps a few pics with her camera of us with our favorite characters. "Thanks for the picture!~ Can we also get your autographs?"

"Ummmm sure?" one of them shrugs.

"Thanks!~ Make it out to 'My love, Selena.'" Selena says dreamily handing 'Crona' a pen and pad.

"Okaayyyyyy, here ya go." said the Crona cosplayer uncomfortably.

"And make that one out to Kassandra." I instruct the Kid cosplayer.

"'Kay, see you guys later-" 'Kid' said, handing back the paper, looking almost as eager to walk away as 'Crona'.

"Can we glomp you guys?"Selena asks seriously.

"Yeah- wait what?" one answers before two blurs of otakuness hugged their respective characters before they could change their minds, knocking them over and unconscious.

"Well...That went well..." I mused as we walked away from the unconscious cosplayers propped up against the wall before we bumped into large crowd of people.

'Sheesh, look at the size of that line! It goes all the way back to the hotel...' I thought as Selena let out an exasporated sigh.

"Arghhhh, see? I told you! You should've hurried up! Now we have to wait in line to get in because of all the 'last minute registrations' noobs are clogging up the entrance!" whined Selena.

"Yeah but it was worth it to hang out with Kid and Crona, right?" I smile.

"Yeah, I guess...but still! Would've been nice to get in faster..." Selena admits.

"Say a problem and I'm there! I'm breaking out the Codex Files." I said, going through an invisible filing cabinet. The Codex is our invisible bible of laws that both of us abide to. Like, gals before pals and never wear socks with sandels, you know, basic stuff.

"No...you don't mean...?" Selena stares wide eyed. It also contains plans, pranks and back up maneuvers.

"Oh I mean! It's time for Plan B!" I state before I let out a loud the call that's garranteed to make a thousand fangirls turn. "OMG, IT'S VIC MIGNOGNA!"

My call is silenced as about half a dozen fan girls squeal and move past us as they try to look for the poor voice actor. I snicker to myself at how gullible some fangirls can be before I turn and look back at the swarming crowds, my face paling. One flaw in my plan: Vic Mignogna was actually a couple yards behind us. There he was, just leaning up against a wall in a hoody, eating a hot dog and looking like someone ran over his puppy as a thousand eyes point him out. 'Oops...I actually didn't expect him to be there...Sorry Vic.' I thought as the Vic obsessed fangirls poured past us. Selena and I took our chance and ran through the opening the fangirls had so graciously left ajar. Soon, we were inside the convention building. It was pretty big and open, a little bit bigger and fancier than a gym. We walked up to a young lady sitting at a desk covered in various papers and badges. "Welcome to AnimeNEXT. Do you need to purchase a ticket or did you pre-register?" she asked. 'Are you kidding? We've had this planned for months!' I thought as Selena answered "Pre-registered."

"Please show me your government identification forms and your conformation letters." I go through my purse and slap down my driver's permit and Selena's passport while Selena pulls out 2 printed out emails. The lady looks them over before giving us the okay. "Okay, here are your badges and I hope you have a nice time!" she smiles as we walk past the rope lines.

"God, today was a good day!" I sighed as the evening sun hit my face. "That Caramall Dansen can really wear a girl out."

"I know! And I got a ton of cool stuff from the store in there." Selena said, holding up her bags. "I can't wait to put up some of my new Soul Eater posters!"

"Hey, wasn't the AkuRoku panel just hilarious? God, I nearly died laughing when Demyx came on the stage!" I laughed, thinking back.

"Can you actually die of laughter?"

"Not that I've heard of. If anything, I heard laughter can actually extends your life by ten years, smiling contributing to half of that!" I thought out loud before noticing we were suddenly surrounded by a group of boys. One wore a red beanie with a yellow hoodie jacket that looked like it had one too many taco stains. Another had a 'haven't-shaved-or-bathed-in-weeks' look, showing signs of stubble and rank BO that just makes you wanna gag. The other two looked like two mismatched twins: If one wore a green hat, the other wore a green shirt and vice versa. The only way I could tell them apart was that one had bushy eyebrows and the other a bushy thin mustache.

"Hey girls, new in town?" one of them asked, looking much like some of the gangs from Durarara. 'Looks like I'm gonna need those extra ten years...' I thought as the thugs stood carefree-like. I've always heard Las Vegas had bums on the streets who had it rough from the slot machines but this situation was all too familiar if you've ever lived in Brookyn or walked through the Bronx at night.

"Who wants to know?" I asked, my new yorker blood kicking into overdrive as Pit-stains wrapped his arm over my shoulder. I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I really hate it when guys think that they can touch me, like I'm property or something, and that boy's BO wasn't helping the situation.

"We were just wondering if you would like to come with us down to the casino and buy a couple drinks. Your friend can come too! She looks like the kind of girl who could pack it away." Pit-stains continued, his rank BO clawing at my nostrils from the inside. 'Was this guy high? Did he not see how Selena is dressed? What kind of sick thoughts run through this guy's head?' I thought as my mental face turned into disgust. 'Ooooh, don't open that door...' I thought, still faking a smile as I unwrapped his arm.

"Thanks but we've got a bit of turning 21 to do so if you don't mind..." I said turning, suddenly running into a human equivalent of a brick wall. 'Oh great, it's the bushy brothers!' I mentally groaned staring up at the twins.

"Whoa, easy pretty lady! What's your hurry?" asks Taco stain, finally speaking up. I backed away with a shocked expression. I didn't know whether to accept the compliment or be disgusted that he had to give me the compliment. I mean, it was nice to get compliments, but now was not the time for them.

"All we're looking is for a little fun tonight. No need to be too fiesty!" speaks Bushy Brows. 'Oh...that's what goes through their minds...Greaaat, I'm stuck with a pedo gang.' I thought bitterly as Selena tried to act more confident.

"I'm sorry, but we really have to be going now-" Selena tries to say.

"Hey T-bone, you hear that? They think they have a choice in the matter." Mustache man says over at Pit Stain. The crew share a few chuckles as they soon enclose us in an alley.

"Now you listen good; We're just gonna take a walk down to Viva Las Vegas and-" said Pit Stain, known as T-bone, before I bring my knee up into his groin, sending him keeling over.

(plays 'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Have a Nice Dream' from the Soul Eater OST)

"What the-ARRRRRRGHHHHH!" Taco Stain cries out as Selena whips out a can of mace out of her purse and sprays it in his eyes.

"Do-Not-Want Spray, keeping pedos away from cosplayers since 1994." Selena says comically, showing her product as if she's screening for a commercial. "Who knew they sold mace at anime conventions?" I would've totally burst out laughing if I wasn't trying to get away from dangerous pedophiles (A/N: god i hope i spelled that right...). Seeing the Stains taken out of the way, both of us ran for the opening and hightailed it out of there, the gang following close behind us.

"Stop! They're getting away!" one of them shouted as we dashed through the streets of Las Vegas.

I jump past a hotdog vendor as we began to run past the crowds. We then began to advancely weave ourselves in and out of the crowd, trying to shake the thugs off. After that, Selena purposely knocked over a bead table to slow them down. It made some of them slip and even fall, but they weren't shaking off.

Soon, both of us tried to blend with a thicker crowd. When we were sure the boys lost visual, we both ducked into an alley, trying to lose our pursuers.

"Whew, I think they're gone..." breathed out Selena before multiple shadows shone behind us.

"Who's gone?" Bushy Brow questions menaciously, his brother cracking his knuckles. Selena and I backed up further into the alley until we were caught at a dead end.

"Now you girls are going to learn about some respect..." T-bone Pit stains said darkly before Taco Stain fell to the ground with an X slashed into his back. "What the-?" We all turned to see a small child holding a knife. "Now missy, you better put that knife down. Someone could get hurt..." he said, backing towards the child. For some reason, something felt off about this child. She felt almost...not human. It was enough to send chills down a person's spine. The girl didn't answer, only smiled creepily while splattering Pit Stain's blood stains all over the alleyway.

"Want more power...need more blood...more souls...cut...slice...kill...eat...cut...slice..kill..eat.." the girl began to mumble in an almost inhuman voice. Her words began to speed up as she sliced at the terrified gang members one by one. "Cut slice kill eat cut slice kill eat cut,slice,kill,eat. CutSliceKillEat!CUTSLICEKILLEAT!" she said louder and louder until all the bodies of the gang members lay on the ground with our shoes soaking in a puddle of blood, our clothes tainted with spots of blood splatter. The girl didn't appear human anymore. Instead layed a creature wound in naked flesh of a woman except for the occasional bandages with painted ovals. Its legs were fused together like a worm as she lay crawling on her belly, her maltreated body showing an arched spine, a starving ribe cage, and gangly weak arms hoisting her up from kissing the pavement. The creature had 3 'eyes' that appeared as tattoos as long frail red hair dangled over the creatures disfigured mouth and teeth. The creature's long sharp nails reached for the blue shining orbs floating out of gang member's bodies, consuming them one by one with her slimy salivating tongue. Selena and I stare, huddled in horror of what just occurred. 'That's not possible...It just can't be...a kishin? But they're not real...' I think as the demoness turns towards us, drooling for seconds. Right as the monster began to attack, both of us scream when suddenly a bright purple light shines below our feet. Suddenly, the creature cries out in pain as the light consumes the monster, evaporating it into dust. I felt all of us being pulled into the rift. Then everything went dark...
