Papermoon English version Opening - Soul Eater

=====

January 12, X791

Her (Eye Colored) eyes burst awake from slumber as she shot up out from her bed. Terrified, (Y/N) breathe in deep breaths and sighed as she leaned against the nearby wall and slid down. She had a nightmare, or a bad memory.

(Y/N) tried her best to not fall asleep due to not wanting that bad memory replaying in her head. She had almost fell asleep, but was alarmed when a large bang to the right side of her, which was the window.

(Y/N) jumped and looked over towards the window. She brushed her hands through her sleepy eyes and looked at the window again. She swore that she saw a glimpse of green across her window.

She then walked towards the window and opened it. As she opened it, she was welcomed by the cold air of the wind. She yawned and looked at the morning sun rising. She then looked at window panel and saw that there was a card stuck in it.

To her curiosity, (Y/N) opened it and took out a paper from it. She read over it and frowned.

(Y/N),
You may be on a 8-month assassination mission, but that doesn't mean you can't do two missions at once...

'Are you serious?!' (Y/N) thought in her head as she read over the letter again. 'And to think I'll have some free time to myself...' (Y/N) sighed and continued to read the letter.

I was told that you had nice attitude towards others instead of lashing out on them. I like your strategy, Conbolt. Getting their trust first, then immolation.

The others back home miss you. Even Lamy misses you. (Y/N), there is a special request waiting for you home. I'm not sure if you will like it, but the others will...

Anyways

If you fail to complete this mission, you'll be tortured, be exposed to the world, and be killed. So I fully suggest that you'll take and complete this mission and please, after you're finished reading this, burn it.

Sincerely,

Mard Geer

(Y/N) couldn't help but wondered what kind of request they had for her. 'Is it a job request? Something? Damn I don't know!' (Y/N)'s thoughts were booming in her mind.

She noticed that there were red marks in the back of the letter and so, she turned it around.

I MISS YOU, (Y/N) - JACKAL

Me too! >.< - Lamy

(Y/N) smiled to herself and sighed. She then turned to look at the big grandfather clock at the corner of her room. '6:38' (Y/N) widened her eyes and quickly put on her maid uniform and dress shoes.

=

Arriving at her destination, (Y/N) knocked on a large door decorated with blue and yellow streaks. "Come in..." Said a Groggy voice behind the door. (Y/N) walked in the large door with a tray of food and saw that the room was full of darkness.

"Sting?" (Y/N) asked and looked around the dark room. A loud snore from the other side of (Y/N) startled her. (Y/N) walked up to his bedside and tried to wake him up by shaking him. "Sting! Wake up!" (Y/N) yelled loudly in his ear, making Sting shift slightly. Sting's arm went around (Y/N) and said, "Five more minutes."

(Y/N) sighed and lift his arm away from her. She stood up and turn towards the window. She then grinned and opened the curtains. "AHHHH!!! My eyes!!" Sting said as he threw blankets over his head. "Don't you fall back asleep on me!" (Y/N) said angrily as she tried to take the blankets away from Sting.

He clutched onto the blankets really hard, making (Y/N) get another idea. She stopped and walked to the other side of the room. "Since you're asleep, I'm going to eat your food..." (Y/N) said as she got a fork and stabbed it into the plate of waffles.

Sting shot up on the bed and raced towards his food "NEVER!" (Y/N) watched as Sting rapidly ate his food.

"THANK YOU, (Y/N)!!! THIS WAS THE BEST THING I'VE HAD!!" Sting said as he bowed to her. (Y/N) smiled and nodded. Sting then looked around the counter and noticed there was a plate of fish. "Fish?"

(Y/N) turned to him and said, "Oh! I brought that for Lector. Where is he?" Suddenly, a cat popped out of the bed and turned to (Y/N) with a smile. "Hi (Y/N)!"

(Y/N) widened her eyes as she looked at Lector to Sting to Sting to Lector. "He talked." (Y/N) said, surprised. "He's an exceed?!" (Y/N) then fell to her knees. "Why didn't I notice?!"

"Oi, What's wrong (Y/N)?" Lector jumped from the bed to in front of (Y/N). "I didn't know you were an exceed. Yesterday, you just meowed." (Y/N) said, patting Lector. "Well, I am a Cat."

====

After dressing Sting, (Y/N) escorted him and Lector to the conference hall. "See you later, guys..." (Y/N) said as she turned and walked down the hall. A pink head noticed (Y/N) and began rubbing his head. "Huh? Funny... I could've swore I scented Macao in her..."

===

"You're (Y/N) Conbolt?" Asked a man with long blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, a mask covering his face, a large hat, and a red guards outfit. "You're Rufus Lore?" (Y/N) asked, her (Hair colored) hair pulled back in a ponytail and was now wearing women's guard battle outfit, which was great armory and a skirt.

Rufus reddened a bit and nodded. "Weisslogia told me you use the same magic as me. Is that true?" (Y/N) smiled and nodded. 'So this is Rufus...' "He also told me to see if you're worthy of being a personal maid... So let's see about that!" Rufus said assent into battle stance and began to use his magic.

A gold streak of magic went towards (Y/N), making (Y/N) to use re-image, causing the magic to go on fake-(Y/N). Rufus was astonished at her magic since this was new to him. Fake-(Y/N) grinned at Rufus and faded into a shado while (Y/N) was just standing there doing nothing.

Rufus thought he was being tricked and got into fighting stance, waiting for the shadow to strike him, but it didn't. Re-image had faded, but Rufus didn't know that. (Y/N) thought of this to be a great opportunity and ran towards Rufus using Karma Of The Burning Land. A large red circle went around Rufus and (Y/N) and Rufus looked around him, startled.

Rufus tried to teleport away from the bubble, but couldn't. He was stuck with the red wave around him. Rufus widened his eyes as he felt a burning sensation in him. He groaned in pain as he fell into his knees. (Y/N)'s eyes soften and stopped using the magic. Clutching his stomach, Rufus smirked at (Y/N) and said, "I underestimated you."

Rufus got up and used Night Of The Falling Stars. Beams of yellow lights appeared from the sky and went everywhere at (Y/N), giving her scratches and bruises. (Y/N) turned to Rufus and smirked, she snapped her fingers.

Rufus's eyes widened and fell backwards with his nose bleeding. Around him was tons of (Y/N) in different clothings. (Y/N) laughed at his reaction and snapped her fingers again and the other (Y/N)'s disappeared.

(Y/N) walked up to Rufus and offer him her hand. He gladly accepted it and (Y/N) helped him up. She then offered him a handkerchief.

"Excellent work, (Y/N). I'd like to practice with you sometime." Rufus smiled at her. "Thanks Rufus. I'd like that too." Although the she wasn't comfortable with that sentence, it would be kind of mean to turn him down.

"Now let's see you're throwing skills..." Rufus said as he put two fingers in the air and swiped. A large wall came across the field with numbers and knives appeared.

(Y/N) looked at it in amusement. "Woah." Rufus grinned at her and got the knives. "Look at how I throw it." Rufus then threw the knife to the wall and got a good score from it.

'98'

"As the knife plunges into the wall, You'll get a score from it. The highest is 100. It depends on the speed and how you throw it to get a perfect score." Rufus explained to (Y/N). (Y/N) nodded and grabbed a knife.

Thanks to her years of training, she already mastered throwing knives. (Y/N) turned to the wall and threw the knife with all strength and saw that it went threw the wall. "Oops..." (Y/N) said as she went towards the wall. '9999' Rufus looked at the wall then to (Y/N), astonished. "I-Impossible." Rufus said as he inspected the wall. "It must be an error..." Rufus then looked at (Y/N).

"How strong are you?!"

Watching from above them, a certain spiky head blonde smirked at how Rufus's reaction and placed his head into the palms, and smirked. "Heh."

===

Running in a swift motion, the young adult sighed as she ran from building from building. Her black cloak going everywhere with the breeze of the wind.

"Hey! Come back!" A man's voice yelled from behind her. "I command you to stop!" The man's voice was even louder and tried to use his magic on the mysterious cloak person, but failed.

The young adult reached into her left pouch and grabbed three knives. The man saw the person's leather gloves from the cloak and saw that she threw something at him.

"Wha-" A sound of pain was release from him as he fell to his knees. Three knives were struck in his chest. Shaking, the man took the knives out, releasing more blood. The man then began choking on his blood.

The mysterious person then began walking to him, she then kneeled beside him and sighed. "I'm sorry it had to be this way..." She then payed him downed and he looked at her with intense, widened eyes. "Y... You..'re...a...woman..." He managed to choked out.

"Indeed I am... And here you are, dying..." The person said, causing the man to chuckle slightly. "Indeed... I...Am." The person smiled,mouth it faded as the man got paler.

"It was nice knowing you, Damien." (Y/N) said as she closed his eyes and saw that he took his last breath. (Y/N) frowned and cleaned her hands from blood.

She then began running back to the castle, very quickly. That was her fourth kill that evening. She killed everyone that saw her do the crime and he was one of them. Poor him.

=====

"Papa..." A child said as he tried to shake his father awake. "Papa..." The old man woke up and sat up. He looked at his son and asked, "What is it son? I'm tired!"

The man rubbed his eyes and yawned, his straight dark blue hair going everywhere. "Who's this?" The child said as he handed his father a picture.

The father's smile faded and turned into a frown. He sighed and said to the boy, "I knew this day will come..."

In the picture, was a woman with long brown hair wearing a white dress and below her was a little girl. She had (Eye Colored) eyes and (Hair Colored) colored hair. She wore a (Favorite Color) dress and her face was painted with a smile. Next to them was a tall man with spiky dark blue hair, wearing a blue shirt, and pants. They all had smiles.

"You see, Romeo. I had a marriage before your mom..." The man named Macao Conbolt said. "I... Also had a daughter with that woman... The woman's name was Maria and my daughters name was (Y/N). Unfortunately, the guild they were in was destroyed with all of its members dead..." Macao got teary eyed and continued to talk.

"...They never found (Y/N)'s body. They said either the assassins took her or she ran away. She was never seen since..." The child known as Romeo Conbolt looked at his father, sadly. "W-What caused you guys to separate?"

"I... Met your mother when she joined the guild. She was so interested in me that I couldn't resist..." Tears streamed down his face. "(Y/N)'s mother found out that I was cheating on her and she wanted a divorce. She took (Y/N) and I haven't seen her since... Then that happened..."

Romeo hugged his father and asked one more question. "How old is she now?"

"18."

=====

Walking down the corridors, (Y/N) stopped in front of Sting's door and knocked on it. Sting opened it quickly and (Y/N) walked in. "I can't believe you're wake it's midnight."

"Same for you."

"I only woke up because you requested me."

"Where were you?"

"Huh?" (Y/N) looked at him, confused.

"Where were you?"

"What'd you mean? I was here the whole time."

"No you weren't. I checked everywhere and asked everyone."

"Everyone?" (Y/N) rose her eyebrow.

"Well... Some."

"I was taking a shower. Of course you can't check there. My hair's still wet. See."

Sting looked at (Y/N)'s hair and saw that it was wet. Sting sighed and said, "We can't play detective anymore, Lector. She's not suspicious." Sting turned to Lector. Lector walked around (Y/N) with a magnifying glass and hat on his head.

"Darn it."

===
Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃
===

"Sting..." (Y/N) said as she was being pulled by the hand. "Would you tell me why I'm wearing this and why you're dragging me?"

"It's Halloween, duh!" Sting said. "And you need to wear a costume because we're going to a costume party."

"A costume party? What's that?" Due to the fact,  (Y/N) stayed with Tartaros part of her life, she didn't know what a costume was or a party. Sting then Stopped walking and turned to (Y/N).

"What?" Sting turned to (Y/N) dramatically. "You don't know what a costume is?! Or a party?! What kind of thing is that?!" Sting asked (Y/N), wide eyed.

"Well, my caretakers were strict. So I don't know anything."

"That makes no sense!"

"Well then... Explain to me what it is since you're crying about it."

"A costume is a set of clothing in a particular style. Like right now, you're dressed up like a vampire. I'm dressed up like a reaper. Do you know what a vampire and a reaper is?!"

(Y/N) looked at him blankly and said, "Of course."

"And a party is a social gathering of invited guests and the party has to be a particular theme. This party theme is Halloween. Halloween is-"

"Ok! I get it!"  (Y/N) said as she walked beside Sting. "Who's going to be at the party?"

"Well, all kinds of people!" Sting said, excitedly. (Y/N) had a bad feeling about this party, but still attended with Sting by her side.

Sting and (Y/N) walked into a large building. Inside was bright, decorations of Halloween was everywhere and lots of people were dressed up. There was tables everywhere and food. "Woah..." (Y/N) looked around in amusement. "Fascinating, isn't it." Sting said, waking by loads of people.

"Sting-Sama!~" A high pitched girls voice was heard from behind. (Y/N) turned to see a girl with short, light blue hair wearing a cats costume going towards them. "Oh! Yukino! Hi!" Sting said, waving at Yukino. 'Who's Yukino?'

Sting turned to (Y/N) and said, "That's Yukino. She's a princess!"

"Sting-Sama!~" Yukino jumped on Sting. She then dragged him somewhere else, leaving (Y/N) alone and ignoring her. "Wow. I feel... Hurt... Somehow." (Y/N) shrugged it off and went towards where the food was at.

She grabbed some food in a plate and sat down in a free table. She eat all of her food and doesn't know what to do anymore.

"(Y/N)?" (Y/N) turned to where the voice was and saw that it was Rufus. "Rufus!"

Rufus smiled. "Hi."

"I didn't know you were going to be here!"

"You came alone?"

"No, I came with Sting, but he was dragged somewhere by Yukino."

"I see. Yukino has a thing for Sting and they haven't seen each other for a long time because of the incident."

"Oh."

"You there!" A man's voice yelled to Rufus and (Y/N). "Huh?"

"Would you both like to be in a contest for couples?!"

"But-"

"We aren't-"

"GREAT! LETS GO!" The man yelled, dragging both of them to a stage. "What's your name?!" All attention was now on them and a few other people who were on stage as well.

"Rufus."

"(Y/N)..."

"Great! Everyone! Look at our contestants for our contest! Here we have our judges who will rate them for the best couple costume!" Cheers were heard from the audience.

Everyone was pushed backstage and everyone was fixing their costumes. That's when (Y/N) finally realized what she got into. "Damn it..." (Y/N) said. "I don't even know how I'm going to do this..."

"You'll be fine." (Y/N) turned to Rufus and gasped. His mask was off. His. Mask. Was. Off.

Rufus looked absolutely charming with his piercing blue eyes and his long blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail. (Y/N) couldn't speak for works. "What?" Rufus asked, looking at the mirror. "Is there something on my face?"

"N-No... You're face is fine." (Y/N) said, she looked at the large mirror herself. She then was startled when Rufus started to do her hair. He grabbed some bobby-pins and placed it into her hair. (Y/N) watched her appearance changed.

"Wow..." Rufus said, looking at (Y/N). "Pretty." (Y/N) blushed and turned. Her thoughts were screaming. 'Neeevvverrr.'

"ALRIGHT TIMES UP!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the man with puffy hair. "Judges will be calling names so be aware of it!" The man said.

"(RANDOM NAME) and (Random Name)."

The judge called out lots of random names, except for one. "Sting and Yukino!" (Y/N)'s heart dropped. 'Great. We can't compete against them. Wait, Rufus has the face. The face is the secret weapon. A nice weapon. '

"(Y/N) and Rufus!"

Rufus hold (Y/N)'s hand and they walked out onto the stage together. Everyone was astonished at their clothing and hair.

"What beauty she is!"

"I want to take her home!"

"Cute!"

"Aww!~"

"Wow!"

Young men squealed how (Y/N)'s appearance was. That was, until, Rufus took off his mask. Took. Off. His. Mask.

Girls were screaming and squealing.

"OMG!!"

"HE'S SO..."

"THEY'RE TOGETHER?!"

"I'M SO JEALOUS!!"

"I WANT HIM!!!"

Even the judges were dying from his overload of beauty.

One judge rose a sign that read '10'

All of the other judges rose a '10' with blushing faces.

Everyone cheered and applause were heard. Rufus and (Y/N) were then escorted back stage. Everyone looked at them with jealous looks except for Sting.

"Wow! Rufus! I never seen you without your mask!" Sting exclaimed as he touched Rufus face. Rufus grinned and placed his mask on again. "Thanks for reminding me!"

"I didn't know you guys were dating..." Sting's mood suddenly changed into a slight saddened one.

"What?" (Y/N) asked.

"We aren't-" Rufus said.

"We were forced." Both (Y/N) and Rufus said.

"Oh." Sting mood suddenly brightened up. "Ok."

"Sting-Sama-"

"Oh. Who are you?" Yukino asked, crossing her arms, and standing in front of Sting. Rufus's eyes widen to Yukinos action.

"My name is (Y/N) Conbolt. Nice to meet you, Princess." (Y/N) said, bowing. "What are you? Only royalty can be here." Yukino said, getting angered. 'She thinks I'm a trespasser?!'

"Erm... Yukino-"

"No, Sting, let me handle this." Yukino said.

"I'm Sting's personal maid." (Y/N) said.

"Oh, you're the whore." Yukino said, making (Y/N) get angered. "Excuse me?" (Y/N) asked, she then tried to step towards Yukino, but was stopped by Rufus.. 'I could kill you if I wanted to.' (Y/N) thought.

"Yukino..." A girl with shoulder-length white hair said. She wore an Angels costume. "Such language!"

"Sorry Big Sis, Sorano." Yukino looked down. Sorano looked at (Y/N) and gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, (Y/N). My sister can be a sort of a..." She whispered the whole sentence in (Y/N)'s ears, making her grin. "...b****."

====

"Sting-Sama!~" Yukino said, dragging Sting outside. "Ah... What is it, Yukino?" Sting asked, red from annoyed. Yukino led Sting into a nearby alleyway. "Sting-Sama... I... I-" Yukino's sentence was cutoff by a large explosion from behind her.

Yukino's smile faded and turned to see a large blaze in the building they were just in. "F***!!!" Sting cursed and walked back. "Damn it, Yukino. Whatever you have to say, save it please!!"

Sting then took his scythe and broke down the large down of the building. Almost an instant, smoke and people ran out of the building, pushing Sting in many places. It was so chaotic. "Sting! Have you seen, (Y/N)?!" Rufus asked Sting.

"What?! No!" Sting yelled through the Screams of people. "Damn it! She's probably in there!" Rufus yelled. "Oi! Sting!" Natsu yelled as he ran up to him. "What the hell is going on?!"

Natsu looked up and saw the large fire piercing the building and gasped. "Shit!" Natsu ran inside the building, pushing past people and saw a familiar face. "Gray?! Juvia?! What are you doing here?!"

"Obviously taking down the fire!" Gray said, freezing the walls from getting burned.  "Juvia is saving people!" Juvia said as she helped and carried a young child. "Natsu! Stop standing there and eat the fire!!" Natsu turned to see his blonde friend, Lucy.

Natsu shook his head and opened his eyes. "Let's do this!" He then started to run up the walls and began to eat the flames. "This is yummy!!" Natsu said as he ate the flames.

As he was eating the flames, Natsu caught a familiar scent. His eyes widened in surprised. "W-What?!" He tried to pick up the scent again, but it was gone. "There's no possible way... Unless..."

===

"Jackal! Let me go!!" (Y/N) yelled as she struggled to get Jackals griping hands off hers. "No." Jackal said, dragging her. "Where are you taking me?!" (Y/N) yelled, struggling to get his hand off. Jackal then lifted (Y/N) and threw her into a nearby wall.

Upon impact, (Y/N) choked for air and tried to get out of the rubble, but couldn't since she was stuck. "Jackal... Why are you doing this?" (Y/N) said before getting out of breath. She screamed in pain and saw a large piece of glass stuck in her thigh. (Y/N) slowly got the glass out of the thigh and threw it somewhere. Some blood leaked from it, but slowly disappeared due to (Y/N) healing herself.

(Y/N) got some strength back and got up from the rubble. "Damn..." Jackal said. "And to think I got you." He then jumped onto a lamp post and balanced himself on it. He then made a gesture with his hand and a bright light emerged from his hand to (Y/N). (Y/N) dodged it, making the bright light collide with the broken building and exploding.

"Karma of the burning land!" (Y/N) yelled and a huge red circle surrounded Jackal and (Y/N). "(Y/N)... What is this?!" Jackal yelled as he fell to his knees. In anger inside (Y/N) sparked, making her use all of her strength to burn Jackal. Jackal released a Yelp of pain and looked at (Y/N) straight in the eye.

"Nemo me impune lacessit." Jackal said, darkly. He got up and raced towards (Y/N) and tackled her. He then got a grip of her neck and choked her, burning her neck. She choked for air and tears started to stream down her face. "I... Don't... Know... What... I ever... Done to you... Jackal." (Y/N) choked out. Jackal then lifted her and kicked her into the air, then sending her a punch.

Jackal then did the unexpected.

=

Bad scene

=

(Y/N) closed her eyes and finally gave out. Jackal licked his lips and got off of (Y/N). Blood started to flood around (Y/N) due to ********.

"I wonder how it feels to..."

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!!!" Yelled a man's voice and a white streak of light struck Jackal. Jackal looked to his shoulder and saw black blood coming out of it. "Damn it!" Jackal growled. He turn towards the man and got a good picture of him.

"Sting Eucliffe..." Jackal whispered. Sighing, Jackal made a run for it and disappeared into the night. "Fucking hell." Sting looked at (Y/N) and her damaged body.

He then picked her up carefully and ran for help. "What a fucking day it has been..."
