A/N: Okay, I've been wanting to write a Soul Eater fic for awhile now but haven't been able to think of any plotline ideas…I still have NO idea what I'm going to do with this story but we'll were where this goes..hopefully it's not total crap!

If Only They Knew- A Rocket To The Moon

MAKA POV

"I think we should check it out."

"Come on Maka, let's go back. This isn't even part of the assignment." My partner protested, following me up the steps to the church.

Professor Stein had sent us to Italy to recover a murder's soul, which we had accomplished without any problems; except for Soul constantly pushing for us to go sightseeing. Of course, I knew we couldn't do that because we had to report back to Lord Death but…sometimes I wish that we were just two normal teenagers and could be free of all the responsibilities. Like making Soul Eater a Death Scythe for instance.

But, that's exactly why we can't get distracted from our lessons. We have to collect 100 souls and I won't let us mess up again! Which is why I wanted to see who was in here.

I had sensed a powerful soul in here along with about a dozen human ones and figured we should come see who or what was giving off such a strong ambiance.

"I just want to see. If nothing's wrong we can get back on your bike and go sightseeing like you wanted, okay?" I insisted, reaching for the front door to the old building.

He grumbled under his breath and I took that as an agreement.

I should have listened to him.

I pushed open the heavy doors and was met with a sight I wasn't expecting. The place was empty.

That's strange. I could have sworn I sensed someone in here.

We stopped in the middle of the dimly lit room and looked around. Nothing.

"Well, looks like we are going to sightseeing after all." My white haired partner gloated. "Let's stop somewhere to eat first, I'm star-"

He cut off mid sentence as we heard footsteps approaching.

I was right. Someone was in here.

I tensed, preparing for the worst, when a boy walked forward from a shadowed corner of the church.

He couldn't have been older than me, and if he was it wasn't by much.

"You shouldn't be here. Those doors only open one way." The stranger dressed in black said, his voice wavering.

"He's in here all by himself. He doesn't have a weapon?" Soul asked sounding confused.

"No way." I gasped in disbelief.

"What is it Maka?"

"This person does have a weapon. I sense both a meister and a weapon here, which means that meister has a weapon inside of him." I explained, not taking my eyes from our opponent.

"Inside of him? This can't be good." He commented, transforming into a scythe as he spoke.

Tell me about it.

Catching the weapon easily in my hand I swung him around a couple of times before taking an offensive stance.

Suddenly I felt the stranger's soul changing. The weapon was coming out.

I jumped slightly as the boy emitted a loud yell that echoed throughout the church. He clutched head in agony just as the weapon burst from his back.

It looked almost…human.

I opened my mouth to ask the purple haired boy's name when suddenly the newly manifested weapon delivered a hard blow to the side of his meister's head.

"Ragnarok stop it! That hurts me!"

"Shut up Crona. You're so weak!"

"Stop hitting me! It hurts!"

Okay. This is really strange.

I watched in almost transfixed shock as the two argued as if Soul and I weren't even there.

"Hunting human souls is forbidden!" I called out, regaining their attention. "Are you students of the academy?"

"What academy?" He questioned seemingly innocent. "And what's wrong with eating human souls? She said it was okay."

I stared at him intently, trying to see if he was lying. He had to know that we weren't supposed to take human souls. And who is 'she'?

"I'm, um, not used to talking to girls. They make me nervous." He continued, a blush staining his face.

"You're only allowed to hunt souls that have become kishin eggs." I said, raising my weapon up above my head. "It's my job now to stop you from hunting any more humans."

"Let's get her Crona." The human looking weapon ordered before changing into a huge black sword.

Then, the fight began.

"He's striking from below." Soul warned me and I moved to meet my opponent in battle.

I managed to block Crona's first hit and retaliated with a swift blow to his face.

"Stop this! We don't have to fight if you just surrender." I said, stepping back a little.

"You're going to hit me also?" He asked, sounding hurt.

Ignoring his words, I swung the scythe to the ground and used it to push myself into the air and landed a powerful kick to Crona, knocking him to the ground.

"Let's finish this!" Soul encouraged me as I swung him high into the air to deliver the final blow.

Expecting to end this easily, I hit Crona in the shoulder, only to realize that he hadn't even flinched at my attack that should have sliced straight through him.

A drop of thick black blood fell from the cut onto the tiled floor.

"What's up with this guy?" Soul asked, exasperated.

"His blood must be a weapon itself. And since I can't attack directly with my soul's wavelength like Black Star I have no idea on how to defeat him." I replied, feeling hopeless.

"She's not like those other humans. I don't know how to handle girls. What am I supposed to do?" The other meister muttered to himself.

Who is he talking to? There's no one else in here but us…right?

"Oh. I didn't know I could kill her too. Ragnarok, screaming resonance."

He closed his eyes and lifted his sword up vertically.

Was that a mouth on the weapon?

Suddenly, a horrible screeching sound emitted from the black sword and echoed throughout the room.

I cringed and barely resisted the urge to cover my ears.

What is this?

Then, he was hurdling towards me, sword out to strike.

I moved and blocked his attack with my weapon and held him back.

I grinded my teeth trying to shove my opponents' sword away when the weapon opened its mouth and made the destructive sound again.

To my horror I heard Soul's painful yell as blood spurted from the scythe.

"Soul!" I screamed as I quickly kicked Crona away.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I questioned worriedly as I backed away from Crona.

"Don't worry about me. Just focus on the fight." My partner replied determinedly. "I'm your weapon Maka. That means I'm always ready to die for my meister."

What should I do now? When Ragnarok screams it vibrates along Soul's blade and hurts him. But how else am I supposed to defend myself?

"We need to get out of here." I whispered to Soul urgently, moving backwards until I was by the door.

I tugged on the handle only to realize that the door wasn't budging.

It's a trap!

"I told you earlier. The doors only open one way; inwards." The boy repeated before moving to attack with his sword again.

I quickly dodged the attack, ducking out of the way, only to be met with another attack to dodge.

And another.

And another.

And another.

"Maka what are you doing! Stop dodging him and fight!"

I can't use Soul to block the attacks though! I won't let Soul be hurt because of me; I couldn't bear it! I have to find another way out of here!

Just as I thought this Crona moved forward at a blinding speed, his weapon poised to kill.

"Maka! Block him now!" My weapon yelled, panic in his voice.

"I can't! If I do you'll die!" I screamed before swiftly throwing Soul out of my hands and off to the side into safety.

"No! Maka don't!" I heard a horrified yell before I felt the sword pierce my stomach.

I did it. Soul was safe.

And then I blacked out.

A/N: DUN DUN DUN. If you guys like it I'll post a part deux. I tried to keep it exactly like the anime until I had Maka take Crona's hit instead of Soul.
