AN/ Hi. This is my first story and I just want to see if anyone likes it. If you do... R&R!

It's been 3 years since he left me, since Soul died. I go to his bedroom every night, hoping that he's there. Hoping he can comfort me like he always did after my bad dreams, but he never is there. I just wish that I hadn't ran in there so recklessly like I did. Recklessness. That one word I never thought would be used to describe me. I'm Maka Albarn. The girl who fights with and despite her fears. I was never described as the one who ignored her fears completely just to win a battle! Yet that very day, I did just that. I was terrified. Even Soul could see it. I just wish that I had used my head...

I was about to go into the corridor where I was told the newly risen Kishin Daku. I was trembling with fear. I knew that Daku would be more powerful than Asura. The one thing I didn't know was... How could I beat him? "Soul." I commanded.

"Yes Maka." Soul said as he turned into a scythe. I was still shaking when Soul asked, "Maka? Are you sure you can do this?"

"Yes. I know I can. We might need to be a little reckless though." I said twirling Soul in my hands, ready to battle. At least, I thought I was ready, but I wasn't. In fact, not even Black Star would have been ready for what we walked in on. Without thinking I yelled "Kishin Daku! I am a weapon meister of the DWMA, and I'm here to put an end to your darkness!" 'Why did I just do that?! I know better than to talk all high and mighty like that! Pretending to be all tough is only going to get both me and Soul killed!' I thought as I looked at Soul's blade with apologetic eyes. I knew we wouldn't stand a chance at the low level we were at now, but... I had to try. "Soul, we're going in."

"Are you crazy!? You'll get killed being so reckless! Do you even have a plan?" Soul asked.

"No, I don't... And since when did you start caring about plans anyway? It's not very cool of you." I said, mocking him. He looked at me and I could tell that he was worried. "Let's do it." I said knowing Soul would understand.

"Soul Resonance!" we yelled in unison. I brought Soul's blade down on Daku yelling, "Kishin Hunter!" I knew I made contact, yet he survived the attack without a scratch on him! I couldn't move, I was so scared. I looked down with horror in my eyes, plain for Soul to see.

"Maka!" Soul yelled as he saw me breaking down and saw the Kishin come closer and closer. I was paralyzed with fear. I couldn't move my arms and even if I could, I couldn't hold Soul. I was to weak. As I was deeper and deeper in thought, the Kishin was about to make contact. "Maka? Maka!" Soul yelled knowing he couldn't pull me out of my trance. I noticed that me and Soul were no longer resonated and I felt blood, fresh blood splatter on my face. I slowly looked up and saw Soul, standing arms out just like that day. "S-Soul!" I screamed, so loud that the entirety of Death City could have heard me. I knew I should have waited for some back up. Soul's lifeless body, fell into my arms. He was alive, but barely. "Soul. Why would you do that again!?"

All Soul said was, "Because, a cool guy wouldn't let the person he loves, die so young, and so terribly." All I could do was stare at him. "I love you, Maka Albarn." A fresh tear rolled down my cheek and onto Soul's face. "You're the coolest girl I've ever met." This was what made me start balling my eyes out.

"I- I love you to, Soul Eater Evens" I kissed him ignoring the taste of blood coming from his mouth, and with the last bit of strength he had... He gave me that sharp toothed grin that I loved so much. Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, and Patty made it to the corridor and got us out, but neither of us were alive, I knew that as long as I was still on this planet without Soul, I could never feel alive again.

He wasn't breathing when the gang showed up. A lump caught in my thought, I was so enraged that all I could do was scream at his dead body. "NO! You can't die, not now, not after we've come so far! Wake up! I have to make you the most powerful Death Scythe!" I kept screaming things while shaking him. Moments later, there was a huge ball of light, Soul's body was gone, and all that was left, was his Soul. All the gang could do was watch me cry as they took Soul and I to the hospital.

I still stood in Soul's room, crying on one of his pillows holding small book in my hands. It was a scrap book of Soul, our friends, and I. I gave it to Soul on his birth day. He loved it so much, and even though Soul was the most lazy guy I knew, he kept working on it until he finished it. He was able to do all but one slot. I sat up and looked at that slot for a moment, and after that I grabbed a framed picture that sat on his night stand and placed it in the slot. It was a picture of me, and Soul. We were at the beach with our friends on vacation. I remember Soul's huge smile. I had never seen him smile so big.

AN/ I hope you liked my first SoMa one-shot! Remember to R&R
