[Cardcaptor Sakura/Soul Eater] Float Like a Butterfly (Nakuru gen)

Title: Float Like a Butterfly
Fandom: Cardcaptor Sakura/Soul Eater fusion (CCS in SE world)
Length: 225 words
Prompt: Given two characters, write them as a weapon-meister pair, as in Soul Eater: Nakuru and Spinel for [livejournal.com profile] claire_chan.
Pairing: Nakuru gen
Other: Some knowledge of Soul Eater would be helpful.

Excerpt: Nakuru is a bundle of energy, long limbs always stretched toward the next goal, but the moment she picks up her brother, she changes. His Weapon form resembles a claymore, and must be wielded with both hands.

Wielding Spinelsun is calming.

Nakuru is a bundle of energy, long limbs always stretched toward the next goal, but the moment she picks up her brother, she changes. His Weapon form resembles a claymore, and must be wielded with both hands; between this and the careful balance of spirit energy, Nakuru has to concentrate hard.

They work together surprisingly well for people who are in near-constant conflict. In a battle, it's almost as if they share one mind, turning to face the enemy with their soul bond blazing. Usually, Eriol tells them, siblings can wield each other, but not often do they reach the level of resonance that seems to come naturally to Nakuru and Spinelsun.

"Are you ready, Suppi?" Nakuru yells, and in her mind, Spinel whispers, Don't call me that, but the petty argument is totally forgotten in the combat that follows. The sword bites cruelly into the illusions of the witch, and all Nakuru can do is laugh. Some people have wondered if she caught insanity at some point, from one of these witches, and never lost it, but no one accuses Nakuru of that more than once. Spinelsun stands up to them, and he's hard to argue with, either as a panther or a sword.

Let's do this, he says, a determined breath along their mind-link, and she grins.
