Chapter 1

A/N: Light: Konichiwa! First Soul Eater fic; third story.

Dark: No one cares.

Light: I know…Oh, well.

Both: Standard disclaimer applies! Enjoy! R&R (maybe some constructive criticism)

"Tamashi wo Itadakuyo!" Maka yelled as she raised Soul over her head. There was a Kishin egg in front of them hunched over a dead dog. It was strange for a Kishin egg: eating a dead dog. Usually, they killed a human and ate it, but that dog had been long dead. She could smell it even from this far distance.

The Kishin egg turned towards the meister with a blank expression and hollowed out eyes. "Yes, take it. Take my soul, meister…" he muttered. Maka hesitated. Kishin eggs usually didn't want to die. She shrugged it off.

"Oi, Maka, quit zoning out! I'm hungry!" Soul yelled. Maka glared at the weapon, his face visible through the reflection of the black and red blade.

"Urusai, Soul!" Maka shouted at her partner. The Kishin egg smiled bitterly and walked away. He used to be like that too. After all, Kishin eggs were just humans that had strayed from their path. Therefore, he had once been human. He remembered his friend…his love.

"Oi, he's leaving!" Soul yelled. He would not be deprived of a delicious soul. Maka snapped out of her anger at Soul.

"Ah! Let's go!" she exclaimed, but Soul was already running after him. He turned his arm into the blade of his scythe and held the blade in front of the Kishin egg's neck.

"You heard the lady, didn't you? Your soul belongs to her now!" said Soul as he dug the blade in just a bit more. The Kishin egg laughed. "Haha! Yes! Take my soul! If you take my soul then I will get to see her again…"

"…W-What?"

Maka caught up with the two males.

"Don't you see?" continued the Kishin egg. "I lost the woman I loved. She was like you, boy, and I was like you." He pointed at Maka.

"Stop saying stupid shit and riddles!" Soul said. He drew blood from the Kishin egg's neck. He expected the egg to show any signs of pain, but instead he pushed the blade further into the life-giving area of his body.

"I WANT TO DIE, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE GUT TO DO IT MYSELF!" he screamed. Both Soul and Make took a step back. The Kishin egg arched his back and laughed with the moon. The spear head coming out of the disks of his back shined harshly white in the night.

"You see, I knew that I've I strayed from the human path I would eventually be killed by another meister and their weapon," the Kishin egg said. "I used to be a meister myself."

The two Shibusen students gasped. How could a man be driven this far by madness as to wish to be killed? "I loved my partner. I loved her so much…and then…and then she died! What other choice did I have? I figured that if I killed enough, I'd kill the man her murdered her, and then I'd become a Kishin egg, and someone like you would find me and sever my soul from my body and eat it!"

Soul didn't have the heart to kill this man. But it was his duty as a weapon of Shibusen. He was torn between his mind and his heart. Should he kill him like he was supposed to or spare him out of pity?

"Please kill me…" the Kishin egg said. Maka looked at Soul and shook her head slightly.

"Kishin egg…" said Soul, "tell me your name."

"…What…?"

"Tell me your name," Soul said, this time more firmly.

"Miles…Miles Green…" he answered.

"Now, Miles…Tell us why you became a Kishin egg if you knew what would happen."

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"…Very well, weapon…I will tell you, but…not here. Not where the yellow moon can mock me! No!"

Maka sighed. Soul transformed his hand back to normal.

"Let's go," said Maka.

Soul and Miles followed the girl. They would take him away from the moon's mockery if that was what he so whished.

A/N: Dark: Trivia: we picked the name Miles Green after the movie "The Green Mile."

Light: That's was a really good movie!

Dark: I know…It was actually really depressing.

Light: Yeah, those two little girls were rap—

Dark: Shush, Light!

Light: Okay.

Both: Yonde kurete arigato! (Thanks for reading!) Review, please.
