Struggle Between Souls

Chapter 1


I stood outside. The sky was whirling red clouds. I was walking head down, the chains clanked together as walked slowly and weak, the wind came from the east. The wind blew my hair along with my bangs. There were gaurds in front of a tall steel building, I stood, waiting for me to continue walking.

How can this happen…..

I was a perfect student.. fighting against the source of all madness and evil. But… I lost...the world was controlled by the witch Arachne.. Not to mention the kishin Asura.

My head was down…lost in thought... I then felt a whip on my back. A man in red and white suite said," get going little girl." He clenched my fist. I continued to walk into the steel building. There were gaurds everywhere, security cameras everywhere. I saw prisoners hitting rocks with a tool.

The gaurds led me into a cell. I stood there. Head down, they unlocked the cuffs on both my legs and hands. They then pushed me into my cell. I stood there, still, shaking. I looked around the cell. There was a small bed, a sink and toilet. There was a small window with bars.

I grasped the bars of the window.

Lord death... I have failed you. I'm sorry…

I sat back down on my bed. Gripping my hands in my lap. Tears fell onto my lap.

There was a knock at the door. I lifted my head up whipping my tears. There was a figure standing in the doorway. A man in white and red came to get me. He told me it's time to eat.


I Stood up, walking out, when I reached the lunch area, I saw others wearing red and white jail suits. They guys wore red pants, a short sleeve white shirt, and black shoes. The girls wore a short sleeve white shirt, a red skirt, and black flats.

The guard then pushed me off into the lunch area. I then grabbed a tray and red plate. A lady put some sort of glob of food on my plate. I then grabbed a water bottle and walked off. I was looking for a place to sit. As I found a bench to sit down, a man stood behind me. He was tall, had dark red eyes, his hair was white and was a little spiked.

I turned around starring at him.

He had his hand in the pocket of his pants, and the other holding his tray.

"Excuse me. Your in my seat."

I trembled," O-oh! S-sorry." I was about to stand but he put his hand on my shoulder. He starred at me with his gentle dark red eyes." You can stay. I won't harm you."

He then sat next to me. He looked over at me," Are you new?" I nod gently. My neck was sore from the bruises. The guy with red eyes the asked me a question," what's your name?"

I started to stutter," M-maka." I was scared. Would he hurt me?

"It's okay. I won't hurt you. I'm Soul by the way."

Soul.. that name sounded familiar.. did he go to the academy?

"Maka.. That's a nice name. It also sounds familiar." I brought my head up starring at him again at his dark red eyes. He did the same, he starred back at me in my soft green eyes.

"S-soul…" I stutterd.

"Hm?"

"D-did… did you got to the academy?"

"Yeah. Did you?"

I then sat there looking at him in the eyes."Yeah." Then I heard footsteps.

Soul looked over. There was a guy with black hair and three white strips on the side of his head and had golden eyes. He had two girls on the side of him. One was tall with long brown hair with blue eyes and on the other was a short girl with blue eyes and short blond hair. She seemed the same height as me.

Soul then stood, he stood in front of the boy with golden eyes. The boy with golden eyes starred back at him.

"Hi Soul."

"Hi Kid."

His name was Kid? I chuckled in my head… I like that name.. Kid…

Soul then Introduced me To kid and the others.

"This is Kid." I waved at him, I slyly smiled.

"And these two are Liz and Patty. Their sisters you know."

I waved at them as well.

Kid then asked for my name."I-its M-maka"


They all sat down with us. As we all ate, I heard the lunch area doors was a guy in the door way. Soul then put his head in his hand." What is it Soul?"

" Heh.. Just watch" Then a guy came out of the shadows, he then ran onto a table and stood. Looking proudly having his hand up in the air," I! The amazing black star has come to eat with you! No need to fit who I well sit with, I already sit with a group. So there is no chance."

Everyone Just stared at him blankly and returned back to what they were doing. There was Girl running after her. She was tall, Had long black hair in a ponytail.

"Black star! If you continue to do this you can get in trouble with the warden!"

Black star then hopped down from the table. And walked over to the table we sat at." Hey'ya Kid! Soul! Liz and patty! How are ya?"

I Then Looked over at him. He had Blue spikey hair, it was short of shaped into a star. He had green eyes and he had muscle. That was for sure.

Black star looked over at me."Hiya! I'm Black star! Whats Your Name?"

Before I could answer, Soul Spoke for me."Its Maka"

"Maka Huh?" I nod nervously.

"Sorry…where are my manners this is Tsubaki."

"Hi Maka!" She smiled sweetly and innocently.

"H-hi" I smiled back.

As they sat down, they all began talking besides me. Hmm…

"Maka? You alright? You don't seem to be happy."

"Oi! Um… I'm fine. I truly am." I then smiled at Soul. He smiled back at me.

He then whispered into my ear. So quiet and crisp." Don't worry Maka…I won't let any harm come to you."He then put his arm around my waist. He was so gentle. I then finally felt cared about.


Souls Mind!

Maka was so fragile. So delicate, she felt like a flower, able to get crushed easily but yet so kind and beautiful at the same time.

I didn't want her know what I thought of her yet. After all its only her first day here and we just met. But it feels as if we've known each other forever.

I then got the guts to talk to her more. I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to tell her about my life so then she would tell me more about her life.

"M-maka…"

Then I heard the lunch area doors swing open It was the warden.


I Froze. "S-soul? Who is that?" He gripped the side of waist gently. I looked up at him. He was sweating.

"It's the warden…Mosquito.."
