If I were strong enough, if I were wrong enough to be someone like you
Would you have let me come to be with you
Our next target was a olive green eyed girl holding a brown paper bag full of groceries and the hand of a smaller version of herself and no more than 5. The girl was tall, with legs sent from heaven that went on for miles, and good curves. Her hair was cirled around her shoulders making her look extremely pretty in her waitresses outfit. The bag was filled to the brim with her groceries.
"Mama, mama." The small girl pulled on her mothers hand to get her full attention. They stopped walking towards us.
She turned to her daughter and put on a fake smile. "What is it Em?" She adjusted her grip on the bag and stroked her hair with the other hand.
"Can we go to the park? Please?! Oh please, oh please?" The girl said jumping around in excitement. Her mama looked at her, pain and longing flashing across her features as she stopped her daughters excited jumping.
"Not today, sweetheart. I have to go to work and you are going to spend the day at auntie Tsubaki's house." The little girl looked extremely disappointed as she bit back her tears. "Maybe Tsubaki could take you!" She said with false enthusiasm.
"But I wanted you to take me!" The little one sobbed. Wrapping her arms around her mothers legs. She unhooked her daughter from her legs, setting the groceries down, she knelt right in front of her.
"We'll guess what!" She said looking down in to her daughters hopeful eyes. "Next time I have the smallest amount of free time, we will go to the park together. We'll have a picnic!" She said to calm her daughter. Surprisingly it worked. Her daughter sniffled and wiped her tears.
"Ugh. This is taking forever!" Free hissed darting out of the darkness.
"Free no!" I yelled from the darkness. He rushed the duo. The mom picked up her daughter and shielded her from the attacking man. But Free wasn't after them he wanted their groceries. I darted out of the dark alley after him and tackled him to the ground just as he picked up the groceries. Free rolled to his feet and continued running. He growled in laughter at the sight of all her groceries sprawled across the pavement of the sidewalk.
I ran after him looking back at them. The mom bent up and started putting everything back in the broken bag. Em helped her by picking things up and handing them to her. I slid to the halt as Azura bolted after us. He kicked some bread into the street causing the little girl to yell at him. She shook her tiny fist and walked onto the street. Hr mother grabbed for her shirt but missed.
"Emily!" She panicked scrambling to get away from the bag so she could reach her daughter on time.
"Don't worry, Mama I'm just getting the bread!" She called over her shoulder as she bent down to get the bread. I watched as the truck went right for her. She hadn't moved she was staring straight into the headlights in horror. Her mother was screaming at her to move.
Without thinking I bolted into the street and tackled her. Flipping us so we landed on my back and skid across the pavement. I grit my teeth in pain. I was going to have some serious road burn from this. The little girl was sobbing in my arms, clutching my shirt in tiny fists. Something fell from her grasp to the side of us.
I couldn't hold back my laughter as I looked at the object that almost got her killed. The loaf was already half squished. I picked both of us up, wincing at the pain in my back. I would have to pick out all the gravel later. That would be fun.
When traffic cleared her mother dashed across the street towards us. "Emily!" She snatched her from my arms and checked all over for injuries. "Don't ever do that again! You know you can't just run out into the street like that!"
"But the mean kicked our bread and I wanted it back! I like my toast." Her mother stared at her in surprise for a second then giggled at her child's antics. She adjusted her on her hip and picked up her shirt giving her a raspberry. Emily hated toast.
"I'll just make sure to give it to you everyday won't I?" She tickled her daughter, who squirmed and laughed that cute high pitched laugh that only sounds good coming from a five year old.
"Ahem." I cleared my throat hating to break up their adorable antics but I was in major pain and wanted to get home where Blair could treat it. "Your welcome." I have her my famous smirk that usually had girls throwing themselves at my feet or into my bed but not this time. She grabbed her purse and hit me in the head very hard. "Ow! Jesus woman what do you have in there? Bricks?" I clutched my head which was throbbing in pain.
"That was for your friends. You might want to rethink your decision of befriending them." She glared at me. I looked up to see Emily try to copy the glare but it didn't work on such a cute face. I ended up grinning at her through the pain, straightening up from my position on the floor. She wrinkled her nose at me, sticking her tongue out. I stuck mine right back. She hmphed, crossing her arms and turning her head away from me. I chuckled glancing at her mother, who had been unusually quiet as i interacted with her daughter. She had a pretty blush climbing up her cheeks. She leaned down and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. "And that was for saving my daughter." A furious blush lit up her face as she turned away from him, balancing her kid on one hip and walking across the street.
I followed for some strange reason. "Here let me help." I bent down with her to pick up the groceries. She was keeping a close eye on Emily so she didn't go running into the street again. I put all the groceries in the torn bag and held onto it as we stood up. I wanted to talk to her more. "Soul Eater by the way."
"What?" Her full attention was on her daughter who was skipping around them happily, her near death experience almost completely forgotten.
"My name is Soul Eater." I restated catching her full attention.
"Weird name..." She cocked her head at me her attention returning to Emily.
"Goes with the appearance I guess." I waited for her to offer up her name but she stayed silent, continuously watching her baby. "And you are...?" I prompted.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I'm Maka Albarn and this is my daughter Emily." She put a hand on her lower back, pushing her forward. She glanced at her watch and her eyes went wide. "And we are extremely late!" She grabbed her daughters hand and reached for the bag of groceries.
I leaned away and she let out a frustrated sigh. "How about I come with you to make sure you get where your going safely and without other incident?" Maka glared at me, making me cringe a little on the inside, but cool guys don't cringe. She glanced at her watch again.
"Your not gonna give up are you?" Maka asked. I only smirked at her in triumph. She let out another frustrated sigh saying, "Fine. Whatever. Lets go Emi." She pulled her daughter along not even looking to see if I was following.
I, Soul Eater Evans, was taking a very particular interest in this Maka girl and her absolutely adorable daughter. I just might stick around for a little while.
What did you think? Should I continue or leave it at that? leave a review please! I have a super good idea for it and don't worry I still plan on keeping up my other story!
