A/N: What? Another fandom? If you're thinking that then yeah, I'm into Soul Eater now! I love it, have all the episodes on DVD, three manga volumes and have read and watched it all. I have also found my OTP. Ah huh, SoulXMaka, yep. They're just, perfect for each other! Anyway, on to business as usual.

These really short OneShots are just bursts of inspiration that occur sometimes and I write them when I feel like it. They aren't exactly edited so don't be too harsh if they aren't up to my usual standard.

Well, hope you all enjoy!

Battling a Demon

He knew he had to do it. For the safety of not only his meister this time, but everyone he cared about as well. The Little Demon was becoming too strong; Soul had known this for some time. But for some reason he thought that he could still suppress the madness like he always could.

Dressed in his pin striped suit, his 'black room' suit, as he dubbed it, Soul stared directly into the eyes of the evil creature he had sworn not to trust.

"I won't let you escape," he stated bluntly at the Demon, provoking a chuckle from the gremlin. Surprised, Soul raised his eye-brows.

"I know you won't," Little Demon replied, "but I'm pretty sure I'll win this time. Take a look, you're tiny compared to me."

Soul did just that. Taking in the size of everything in the room, he noticed that all of the furniture was twice his high and width.

"What...What happened?" he questioned, swallowing an trickle of fear that wedged itself in his throat. The Demon chuckled again.

"I would have thought you'd figured it out by now," the Demon drawled, beginning to circle the white haired male. "After all, you are the one that comes up with all the answers."

"But I don't understand how this could have happened! I made sure not to push Maka and myself too hard!" Soul argued, making his arm turn into a blade for protection sake. The Demon would not frighten him.

"That's where you're wrong dear master. Although you thought you were in control, you didn't take into consideration the damage done to your form while you were in the madness you were playing. Thus enabling me to have the upper hand," he explained, coming to a halt in front of Soul, "In order to save your precious body, I did what was necessary with the black blood to protect you."

Soul was confused. Maka had never intentionally hurt him, unless...

"You took over Maka's mind as well," he stated with a grim smile, "but my question is how? How did you get past her anti-madness wavelink?"

At that the Demon chuckled again, further confusing the weapon.

"Well, that answer is easy! Due to the increase in madness, and I mean a big increase, your dear meister wasn't able to channel her wavelength to the place that needed it the most. Herself." The taller, no longer 'little demon' stated, crossing his arms and grinning widely.

"But enough of the chatter," he went on, pacing away from the thoughtful Soul, spread his arms wide with an evil laugh, "let's see if you can match up against me now that I'm the one in control."

At that, Soul blinked. Then blinked, and blinked some more. Then a harsh chuckle escaped his lips and became a full blown laugh, causing the Demon's smirk to drop from his face.

"You're forgetting one thing," Soul stated once his laughing subsided.

"Oh? And what's that?" the Demon asked dryly. Soul's face stretched into a fierce smirk of his own, causing his shark-like teeth to glint off the dull light of the room.

"That I have something to fight for that it more important than one measly little demon such as yourself," Soul stated firmly, "and I'm not just talking about Maka this time. If it's a fight you want " he turned his other arm into a blade, ruby eyes flashing, "then bring it!"

A/N: Yep, told you they were short! =P

Anyway, hope you enjoyed it! R&R if you can! =)
