Lost and Found [Tsubaki]

[BLACK*STAR!]

Black*Star sat down at a bench in the cafeteria. He picked at his food with his fork which was something that looked like it was dug from the dumpster. He laid his fork to the side, then glanced around. Weapon and Meister teams were enjoying their food. What was wrong with them? Were they blind as to what they were eating? Or was it because they were happy...Black*Star shrugged. He didn't like thinking about happiness. Only working, training, fighting. It was the only thing he could think about anymore. Tsubaki was so close to becoming a Death Scythe, he couldn't wait. But what would Black*Star do if Shinigami-sama took away her forever. No, that couldn't happen. Since Maka got to see her 'father' all the time.

It sure would be lonely without Tsubaki. He stood up, emptied his tray, and exited the lunch room. It was so loud, everyone was yelling, hollering, and talking non-stop 24/5. Annoying brats they were. He knew inside that everyone thought he was annoying, they just didn't have the guts to say it. Especially since he was Spartoi. Black*Star rolled his shoulder, feeling himself relax. His arms were in pain, constant training had worn them out. He entered his class room, when he realized he had forgotten something in the lunch room.

He quickly raced back into the cafeteria, and back to where he was sitting. Gone. It was gone. His very important object was missing. If he lost it, he lost everything. he felt all over the table, searched underneath the table and on the ground, no where to be seen. The object had to be there somewhere! What was that? A shiny looking material behind the trash can? That has to be it! He moved the bin to the right, only to find something he wasn't looking for. A necklace. A girly one by the looks of it. He slipped it into his pocket, and continued his search.

[MAKA!]

Tsubaki was taking her time getting to the cafeteria. Class had only just let out a few minutes ago, but plenty of students were already at the cafeteria. Black*Star was probably there already though. Tsubaki didn't exactly enjoy the slop that they were fed every day, but the lunches had improved since before Shibusen closed. Tsubaki turned around the corner and saw the cafeteria entrance. She turned into it, only to see Black*Star looking frantically for something. Tsubaki noticed him slip a necklace into his pocket.

"Black*Star! You know that necklace might belong to someone else!" Tsubaki kindly reprimanded him, knowing that someone was probably missing this necklace. "I know what you're missing. Why don't you have a seat and I can help you look for it after lunch." Tsubaki smiled at Black*Star, genuinely willing to help the boy in his search. She headed over to the counter and decided to have a salad and some apple juice. It was probably better and more inanimate than the thing on the opposite end of the counter. She took a seat near Black*Star.

"Black*Star, you're really wearing yourself out with all this extra training! We should take a break today and go into town for dinner tonight. It'll be a refreshing break from the constant training you do at home, and I know how much you like food, good food that is!" Tsubaki laughed after finishing her last sentence. She smiled at Black*Star, and then picked up her fork and calmly ate her salad. She finished in a matter of minutes, and sipped the rest of her apple juice.

Tsubaki made her way to the trash can and tapped her plate on the side. She moved over to a counter and set her plate and glass down and then put her tray in a large dirty tray pile. She made her way back over to Black*Star and nodded. "Now that we're refreshed, let's go look!"
