Author's note: Hi so this was my first fanfic. But ever since I start my other fanfic, I have bettered myself. So I came back after 3 years and decided to rewrite this piece. Wasn't that good before, but I hope it's better now, I certainly feel better about it.
Chapter 1: Who's the creep?
APOV~~~~~~
A mysterious figure stood before the entrance into Death City. Clad in a black burlap cloak, no face or limb to be seen. It continued to stare until it let out an ominous chuckle.
" Not the grandest place you have here Lord Death. But no matter, you don't scare me."'
The mysterious figure placed a hand on the giant wooden door and shoved it open and continued into the city. This is where our story begins.
~Oo~O~oO~
Makas POV~~~~~~
"Soul, time to get up!"
"…."
"Soooooooul."
"…"
"SOUL EATER!"
"…"
That JERK does this every morning! Though there are two reasons that he doesn't get up:
A) He spent the night reading comics INSTEAD of homework.
B) Blaire is molesting him again.
Either way pisses me off! Just because he's a death scythe doesn't mean he doesn't have responsibilities and as his Meister, it's up to me to keep him in line.
Soul's POV~~~~~~
"Dammit Blaire get o- MMMMMMF!"
"Aaaw but Bu-Tan wants Soul to love her! You and Maka were gone all day yesterday and came home without playing with me!"
"Yeah yeah we'll play with you later! Now get OFF!"
POOF!
"AAAAAAW Soul-kun is no fun! But Bu-Tan still had fun! Anyways, now I'm gonna go see the fisher guy!"
Damn Blaire always every morning she does this and in the end I get a Maka-chop. Now look at me! That cat managed to strip me down to only my pants!
"Soul Eater! Get your ass up!" In came a wild Maka holding her menacing cooking pan. Never thought a woman with twin tails in a pink frilly apron could look so menacing.
" . up Maka….geez"
"Then why did it take you so long to answer?!"
"Because Blair was suffocating me with her giant fleshy fun bags!"
"UGH fine. You're a death scythe yet you get subdued by tits..." She grumbled before leaving to the kitchen.
Not my damn fault a fine body is my greatest weakness.
Maka's POV~~~~~~
I managed to get out of there before blushing profusely. Soul has definitely changed since becoming a death scythe. More muscular and definitely taller, reaching the 6 foot mark. His hair is longer but still short and spiky, and his face is more defined with those blood red eyes. His skin no longer tans but stays a pale peach tone. Makes me feel weird.
I haven't changed much. I'm 5"5, still skinny, my hair is a little longer so I don't put my hair in high twin tails, but low to fall over my shoulders. My legs are longer , and my eyes are greener, and my face is slimmer with maturity but that's about it. I still got my damn tiny tits! Fucking b-cup...
Out came Soul in his white spartoi uniform, smirking his haughty smile at me showing off his white shark teeth. Gives me shivers, but not the bad kind, its the good kind that I find bad. "well well, queen psycho tiny-tits is finally not hitting me for once EH?"
"MAKAAAAAA-CHOP!"
Bitch, don't test me...
~Oo~O~oO~
APOV~~~~~~
At DWMA~
"Ok Class today we'll be dissecting this panda. Sure they are going extinct but it's good to get a dissection in before it's too late, right?" Stated the sadistic professor Stein . Before him laid a frightened panda, struggling against the straps of the dissection table.
The whole class groaned only to have a response of scalpels being thrown at them. A brave Maka shot her hand up catching the crazed doctors attention.
"U-ummmm Professor Stein….. I really don't think we should dissect that panda, I mean it is going extinct after all." Stated the twin tailed meister.
"Well Maka that's all the more reason." Chuckled the sadistic doctor.
BAM! CRASH!
In through the windows shot a Black*Star on a nearby desk posing a gallant pose "ITS ME YOUR BELOVED GOD! BLACKSTAR! THATS RIGHT! MAY I BE THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR DAY! THAT'S RIGHT ALL YOU COMMONE- "
SHING!
There against the wall was Black*Star and a centimeter away from his head was a scalpel.
"If you are done with your ranting can you PLEASE sit down so I can get on with my dissection, because any minute now sempai will come and disrupt my poor experi-"
"Stein I just got a call from the zoo saying they have a Panda missing! And the perp just happened to have a huge ass screw coming out of his head!" Roared a certain red haired death scythe, bursting through the classroom door with a greatly exasperated expression.
The whole class pointed to stein, which responded once again with a rain of scalpels.
"(DRAMATIC GASP) AHA!I knew it was you! You are returning that panda right now!" Pointed spirit with an accusing finger before marching towards Stein with a ridiculous puffed out chest.
"Ok Ok Spirit if that will get you to shut up and leave then fine."
"You're DAMN right you will return that poor panda, and also… Maka… daddy loves with all his heart my beautiful angel." Going from spastic rage to warm smile oozing with ridiculous love.
"Go die...in a hole..." stated Maka with a blank expression of disgust. GOD did she hate him, does he not understand that she will never return his love.
After Spirit left weeping with of course a very relieved panda, Stein then faced the class with a grin on his face.
"Well it seems we now don't have an experiment so I guess we'll have to substitute, how bout a volunteer?"
' How bout a HELL NO!' thought the class.
KILL KONG KAN KONG
"oh..saved by the bell. How sad. Anyone want to stay for lunch?"
Everyone left like a bat out of hell…
~Oo~O~oO~
LUNCH~~~~~
"Well so much for class.." sighed Maka.
"Well at least we didn't have to sit through another disgusting dissection, or watch someone get dissected in its place" shuddered Soul. Just thinking about all the dissections he had to watch was enough for him to lose his appetite.
"I hope it doesn't effect my grade!" Shouted Maka with worry, tugging at her twin tails at the thought of an F.
" Maka don't be such a nerd, the thing you should worry about is that chest of yours." Pointed Soul blankly before going back to picking his food, not noticing strikingly pissed Maka.
"THATS IT! MAKAA-CHOP!" Strinking him across the temporal lobe into the linoleum of the cafeteria floor.
"oooow…where do you put those god damn books.." groaned Soul while getting up. He always wondered where she kept those books that held at least 900 pages.
"OH HEEELL NO! NOT AFTER WHAT YOU SAID! MAKA-CHOP!" Striking him down once more creating a crater this time.
"YAHOOOOOO, DON'T WORRY MAKA AS LONG AS IM HERE BOTH YOUR CHEST AND GRADES WILL BE A-OKAY,maaaaybe not sooo much the chest! HYA HAHAHA NOW VASC IN MY HEAVENLY PRESENCE!" yelled Blackstar while standing upon his chair in a dramatic stance.
"MAKAA-CHOP!" Chucking her book in his direction connecting with his face and knocking him down.
Maka's POV~~~~~~
What the hell is up with this day! From the moment i woke up, it sucked! No...the moment it hit 12:01 a.m, it sucked! AAAAAAGH! I get the feeling something bad is gonna happen, something worse then having your chest being POINTED out repeatedly.
"OH! There you are Maka."
"Hey Kidd! What's up." I'm really hoping he has something to brighten this god forsaken day! I put on my best smile hoping it'd mask my, more or less, slight irritation.
"Its you and Soul's turn to do your rounds around the city today."
Aaaah yes… I forgot… it's our turn to scout the city, I don't see why since the Kishin is gone now...ugh..who's turn was it yesterday? OH YEAH, Kim and Jackie….after Black*Star, that lil jerk, ditched.
"OI! Soul wake up! its our turn scout the city today." I reached down shake Soul out of his coma before tossing my food and heading out.
"Yeah Yeah Im up"
"Wipe that blood I don't want it to stain your shirt."
"Its there because of you!"
"Not my fault you keep opening that thing you call a mouth, and saying the wrong damn things!"
"Well its not my fault! i was just stating that you're a nerd for worrying about such a tiny thing!"
"HYA HA HA HA HA IT'S ME BLACKSTAR AND I HAVE FINALLY RECOVERED! WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE IM BLACKSTAR! THE ONE MAN DESTINED FOR GREATNESS!"
"Shut the hell up!" We both yelled in unison, turned to each other noticing what we did before huffing and marching away.
Like I said, this day is no good, something bad is definitely gonna happen. Something worse than walking in to see your partner molested and having your chest pointed out to you REPEATEDLY and definitely worse than having to listen to a Loud Talking Blue Haired MORON. Boy, I can't wait to see what happens next…
~Oo~O~oO~
APOV~~~~~~
Somewhere In Death City~
There wandering the streets of Death city was the mysterious figure clad in it's mysterious cloak. No face to be seen, only hands with their long nails.
"Quite a humble town you got here Lord Death, but how exactly do I get to that blasted school of yours! With all the twists and turns it's a miracle the people here find their way around!" Mumbled the mysterious figure, talking to no one but itself. It continued to look around, hobbling aimlessly.
And off went our mysterious figure mumbling arguments to itself for getting lost again on how to get to DWMA, not knowing who its about to encounter.
Somewhere Above Death City~~~~~~
"Well Soul, it looks like level 6 and level 5 are okay now just for the other 4." Stated Maka looking around with a hand to cover her eyes from the crazy bright sun.
Suddenly Soul reflected himself on his blade. "Hey Maka, just a thought from your loyal weapon here, but, um, why didn't you just use your handy dandy Soul Perception?"
"….." Maka paused in mid air at the thought of her Soul Prrception. You could hear and see the cogs and screws churning in her blonde head.
"…"
"….."
"…."
"Sooooooul! Why didn't you say anything from the start!" Bursted Maka waving her arms around in annoyance.
"I'm not the one with soul perception! and aren't you an honor student? Why the hell didn't YOU think of that!"
"WELL!...Ummmmm….Dammit Soul!"
2 minutes later
"Okay I think this is a good view point of all the levels. Not too close to the school and not too close to the edge of the city..." Chirped Maka before closing her eyes in concentration.
"We could've been done by now..." Grumbled Soul, his scythe form bending a crook in irritation.
"Shut up Soul..."
Below Them~~~~~~
Once again with our mysterious figure, who's still hobbling aimlessly in the empty alleyway before stopping in it's tracks with a jolt, and looking around in panic.
'WHAT THE HELL!? Someone is using Soul Perception! I made it this far, can't stop now!'
The mysterious figure sat on the ground and began to chant in mysterious tongue. Symbols glowing and gliding across their hands as they waved in the air like a dance.
In The Sky~~~~~~
Back with our beloved hero's….
" WHAT THE!-Soul somethings below us-"
Suddenly Maka grabbed her head and started hissing in pain. Voices and static scratching her mind as a constant ringing started to get louder and louder until she gave in to its unbearable pain.
"EEEEYaAaAAAAA!" Shrieked Maka, continuing to clench her head in hopeless effort of stopping the pain. Soul starting to panic at his Meisters alerting behavior.
"MAKAA!"
" the ringing. THE voices! Make it STOP! MAKE IT STOP!AAAH!"
"MAKA HOLD ON!" Soul slightly panicking unable to think from his meisters screams.
Maka's hearing and mind now impaired unable to think of anything but the vastly consuming pain and agony in her mind. The voices screaming and whispering things she couldn't understand and the ringing like standing inside a huge bell while it's being rung. She soon slipped off the scythe and began to fall head first to the empty cobbled streets below. Soul reflexively changing back to his human form and falling after Maka.
"Maka I'm coming!"
Seeing the approaching earth he clasped his arms to his sides to dynamically quicken his flight downwards. As soon as he caught up he grabbed her foot and yanked her to him. Holding her close and flipping them so his body was facing the quickly approaching ground, he managed to tilt them so they shot down into a pile of crates with fruit stocked in them.
'That was a close call. I managed to snatch myself a Meister and weapon. I could kill them quickly and dispose of them so no red alerts are alarmed... ' thought the mysterious figure pacing in the shadows.
APOV~~~~~~
The mysterious figure approached from the shadows to the crates holding the semi-conscious duo. Pausing in surprise and quickly turning away to think.
'Well I can't kill them now... Especially since she's here...' Thought the figure in worry, but soon with a sinister grin turning back around to face the the two teens.
"Maka,are you ok?!" Asked Soul in sorry as he held his wriggling Meister.
Maka was squirming with pain with her hands clasped over her ears and her eyes welded shut as tears began to fall. She let out another scream.
"The voices!THE ringing! MAKE IT STOP PLEASE! SOOULAAAH!" Arching her back into Souls chest before releasing once more.
"Maka..." Soul wrapped his arms around her clutching her close, shoving his face into her shoulder.
The mysterious figure approached them once more causing Soul to become protective clutching Maka's form to himself more. The figure stood there watching them, staring down at them with it's non existing eyes.
"How delightful! She sure is an interesting one. Serves you right for trying show me out with that pesky soul perception and looking at you… you're a genius when it comes down to it!"
"Who the hell are you, and what did you do to Maka!"
"Oh don't get your boxers in a knot! I happen to be something that the DWMA particularly don't care for. And about your lil' meister there, I just countered her Soul Perception, the effects should wear off. Don't want to start a riot now do we? I especially don't want to alert Ozo the Clown haha."
"Hurry up the effects NOW!" Roared Soul transforming his arm into a blade and rising from the crates.
"Okay Okay, man are yooou impatient!" Waved the figure in defense before chanting it's tongue.
Maka's screaming came to a sudden halt and she finally released her head going limp and opened her tear struck eyes.
"Maka! Are you okay?!" Croaked Soul searching her desperately.
"I'm…okay…. Soul." Sniffled Maka, still recovering with heavy huffs. Her voice hoarse and her eyes droopy with exhaustion.
Suddenly with a snap of the figures hand and a bark of it's language, Maka was all of a sudden lifted and was forced into the hand of the figure.
*cough* *choke* "L-let…..m-me….go" struggled Maka, weakly grasping its hand to get away.
"What the hell? Let go of her!" Demanded Soul releasing a menacing growl as he crouched himself ready to pounce.
The figured used it's opposite hand to send a pulse of energy towards Soul. Soul was the pushed back into a wall above the crates he and Maka landed in.
"SHIT!" He managed to hiss out before falling to the ground leaving an indent in the wall behind.
"Hmmmmmmmm ….well that settles it, you definitely are what I thought you were. DWMA is so naïve!"
Then the figure stooped by Maka's ear and whispered in a low husky voice.
"So let's play a game aye? Maka-chan? Find me and no one has to know. Don't find me and everyone will see including your partner."
"W-what are y-you talking about?"
"You'll slowly begin to find out soon."
It then released her dropping her to the floor, the figure disappearing into thin air. Maka mannaging to lift her head to make sure the coast is clear before stiffly crawling to her partner.
"S-soul are you okay?" squeaked Maka.
"y- *cough* yeah I'm okay. Here...a mirror..." Soul pulled a small hand mirror given to them by Lord Death to call if no reflective surfaces were around.
"okay…" Maka weakly grabbed the mirror and wrote and chanted the famous chant. Then appeared in the mirror was our favorite reaper, Lord Death a.k.a Shinigami-sama….
"HELLO HELLOO!WAZZUP WAZZUP!"
"H-hello Shinigami-sama. Death scythe meister Maka reporting for a matter that happened while making my rounds around death city. W-we ran into an outsider that was caught on my soul perception but then I was subdued by strange magic and was unable to function. In the end it got away…"
"Well….That is terrible! You don't look too good yourself! Why don't you go home and leave matters to me! I'll see you tomorrow Maka-chan~" The mirror went blank, Maka sat there for a few seconds before she rolled over and fainted.
"Maka!" cried Soul as he crawled over, only to find Maka sleeping from exhaustion.
"well….shit….." Soul took Maka into his arms and got up to make his way back to the school, specifically to Stein.
Back At the School~~~
"You know who it is don't you?..." asked Sid, because he knew well that when shinigami took 'over' anything, it was serious.
"Yes…I'm afraid I do know who it is….or at least I have an idea….a very old….ummm…friend…or used to be…but I just need proof, that it is, in fact this person….if it is….we're in for quite the storm…." Shinigami-sama looked into the mirror, the air was tense…
"…..who is this per-"
"Tea anyone?"
"...*sigh*" Sid sweat dropped at shinigami-samas attempt to switch from the conversation at hand….he had a feeling, things are going downward from here….
~Oo~O~oO~
Back At the Apartment~
Maka came out of her room dressed in a black camisole and a black and pink pin striped yoga pants. She shuffled tiredly to the kitchen, about to prepare dinner.
"If I don't get dinner started, Souls gonna start bitching…" 'and shinigami knows that I don't need a bitching Soul right now…I need some Tylenol….'
30 minutes later~~~
Soul and Maka are sitting at their two seated table…..in dead silence. Soul shoveling food away and Maka slightly picking at her food, tonight she made macaroni and cheese since it was quick and easy.
Maka's POV~~~~~~
I don't get it. Everyone knows I'm a Grigori, a special one in one million a soul type. No big deal, but I guess they never seen one before? Does that mean they are after my soul?! Do they want to eat it?!
Wait...naah...
This feels different...they obviously got some power. Even to counter my Soul Perception, and I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty proud of my skills. But what am I suppose to do about this? That person felt familiar. I feel like this is more serious than it should be. Even Shinigami took over, and everyone knows when Shinigami gets involved, shits about to go down. Even worse, how am I suppose to find them? I don't have a clue what they look like? Though they did, sound female.
Maka continued to stare blankly at her plate, not blinking once. Her bangs casting across her eyes while the kitchen fell to dead silence.
Soul was first to finish his meal, as he looked up he saw Maka hadn't eaten a thing on her plate. He stood to wash his plate before returning to his seat once more.
Souls POV~~~~~~
This is definitely not normal, she hasn't touched her food, she must be thinking about what happened earlier today. For a death scythe, I give myself an F for today's performance. F is for Fucking Terrible, I couldn't even protect my own meister from that intruder. We defeated the kishin Asura and yet Icouldn't take down a single intruder. What kind of weapon am I? Letting my meister go so easily into the hands of that monster. She must be thinking about how easily I let that happen…..
"M-maka.."
"….."
APOV~~~~~
Maka couldn't hear Soul through her concentration of thoughts, like in her own world only to slightly flinch in acknowledgment. Soul grabbed her hand making Maka snap into reality, blushing slightly at their connecting hands.
"Maka….Look, I'm sorry about earlier today…I shouldn't have let that person take you so easily…"
"….Soul….it's not your fault…she was way out of our hands…she ambushed us, it was my fault for not detecting her sooner."
"But I should've at least put up a fight and—"
"Soul stop!" Snapped Maka, yanking her hand away from him. "I said its okay, if you think I'm mad, well I'm not!"
"Then what's on your mind? You seem uneasy, and you haven't even touched your food…"
"I-its nothing…I'm just thinking about something's…S-so goodnight!"
Maka stood to walk away but was pulled back by Soul grabbing her wrist. Maka swiftly turned around to snag her hand back, but Soul quickly stood up and pulled Maka into a hug; knocking over the chair in the process. The stood there in the middle of the kitchen in silence for a moment before Soul spoke.
"Maka….quit stalling and tell me. You cant keep hiding your thoughts from me, and I know that the more you keep things to yourself the more you'll think about them and the harder it'll be to resonate."
"I know, and I'm sorry, I was just a little freaked out, but its nothing to worry about—"
"It said something to you didn't it…? Maka seriously...speak your mind."
Maka pulled away from Soul, and leaned against the table not making eye contact.
"I-its just…I couldn't help but think about what it said, something about me. Saying to go find it or else they'll tell everyone...including you, something about me that even I don't know about. And if it's as bad as they make it sound, I might just lose everyone. Their fucking playing with me right? Everyone knows I'm a Grigori, no big deal right? Are they after my soul? How am I suppose to find them?!" Maka began to panic at the thought of the figure. Clenching the table and biting her lip, Soul cleared his throat to grab her attention.
"Maka, you're thinking way too much, I get that its confusing and all but it doesn't do you any good to worry yourself sick. Lets get some rest…you heard Shinigami-sama, he said he would take care of it, I'm pretty sure that thing was just trying to scare you. And if it helps tomorrow I'll help go with you to the library and we'll go and search for different soul types… now go get some rest!" Soul lightly grab her shoulders to march her towards her bedroom.
"Okay…thanks Soul, I guess your right, maybe I am just worrying too much….Shinigami-sama will handle it…."
Maka and Soul began to make their ways to their respective bedrooms when Soul stopped in front of his room …
"Maka." Maka stopped in her tracks and turned to look at soul. "No matter what, I won't leave your 're my Meister and I'm your weapon, end of story."
"I know Soul, thank you."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight Soul."
Soul walked inside of his room with a soft smile on his face, as did Maka. Once behind closed doors, she ran to her bed a jumped into the plush comforter, rolling onto her back and staring into the speckles of the ceiling.
Maka's POV~~~~~~
Soul's right...I shouldn't worry myself! It was just trying to scare me! Plus now I can get Soul to go with me to the library for once, and besides knowing Shinigami-sama, he's got everything under control! i'm pretty sure some good nights rest will help make sense of everything.
It's just one intruder. If we can take down Asura, take down Arachne and defeat Giriko then we can get rid of a pest.
What could possibly go wrong?
Author's Note: So I finally redid this chapter, for those who read this already. And for those who haven't DO YOU LIKE? I made sure to spell check and everything! MOTHER FUCKING ACCOMPLISHMENT! But sometimes auto correct corrects things to something else, so if there is something wrong please tell me. Bad spelling is a pet peeve of mine.
Please review~
