A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and sound body.
...
Maka walked into the music room and sighed out in relief. He decided to use free period to do some him his homework. Unfortunately, one of them is finding a weapon partner for Friday's progress test. He couldn't match his soul wavelengths with some people or he just didn't like the weapon. But he knew he needed to stop being picky.
Before he could start on his work, music started to play. He looked around surprised yet wanting to find out where it came from, and stood up. The piece sounded...dark yet admiring.
His eyes finally came across a girl at a grand piano, playing the music. Her eyes were closed and she had a small smile on her face.
Maka blinked and slowly walked up to the musician. Never had he seen someone his age play so beautifully.
" Excuse me?" The white haired girl squeaked and whip her head around and blushed to find Maka standing next to her.
" Um...um. I-I gotta go-"
" O-oh no! I-I just wanted to know your name. Mine is Maka Albarn."
The girl darted her red eyes from side to side, almost as if checking to see if no one was around before looking up.
" Ev- erm...S-Soul Eater." Maka blinked in surprise.
" Soul Eater?"
The girl named Soul bit her bottom lip while looking down.
" U-um i-it's my nickname..."
" O-oh. Oh right." Maka looked down at the girl yellow jacket and saw a name tag that read, " weapon ".
Giving a small smile, he raised his hand out in a gentleman manner, with one arm bent behind his back.
" Well, I'm a meister and I was wondering if...if you'd be my partner?"
Soul's face was now beet red, but nodded hesitantly took the hand and was pulled up so the two were now standing face to face.
Maka gave a cheeky smile while Soul gave an embarrassed one.
It looks like their relationship was coming off to a great start.
...
:Soul Resonance:
...
* tweeeeet*
Today was the first day of DWMA and also the day where Soul and Maka became partners. Right now, they are having P.E. and everybody was pumped for the today's assignment.
Maka looked around the field to search for his partner, wondering why it was taking her so long to change into the P.E. uniforms.
...
Soul whimpered as she looked at herself. This uniform was way too revealing for her. Her red "shorts" were squeezing her upper thighs and was wondering when the shorts were gonna explode. She tried to pull her white shirt down but it didn't seem to affect anything. Curse this school.
Maka was about to ask the coach for Soul when he finally found her walking up the tracks still trying to pull her shirt down. Maka blushed and coughed when she came up with an embarrassed look.
Their coach blew the whistle again and everyone gathered around.
" Today's assignment is going to take place on the track. I will be recording each and everyone's time. This is one of the necessary skills for both meisters and weapons to use against kishins. Alright I need my meisters to step forward.
Soul watched Maka and the rest walk onto the track field and take their places.
" On your mark...get set...GO!" The weapons watched as their meisters race across the track with all the speed they could muster.
Finally, Maka was able to finish third place and the weapons were called up. Soul felt her heart thump faster in anticipation, her stomach doing a bunch of somersaults. She could do this. It's only running. She will not get teased for this.
She took her place with the rest and waited for the coach's signal.
" Come on Soul! You can do it!" Soul gave a nervous smile but felt a little better from Maka's calls and soon was hearing the coach's voice.
" On your marks...get set...go!"
... Maka and Soul. The two perfect matches? ...
It was their next class, the weapon transition class. Maka and Soul were back in their normal attire and headed into the room where a couple others were chatting away.
" You were amazing Soul! You actually made second place! " Maka received a blush and a very inaudible "thank you".
" Alright class, quiet down! The bell has rang!" Sid cleared his throat and stood in the middle of the room along side with his partner, Mira.
" Transforming into a weapon isn't that hard. Nor is it easy. Some of you may have discovered this by accident and you came here to prevent from hurting a loved one."
Maka saw Soul shudder.
" No worries! Everyday we will be working on your transitions, and fighting techniques. Mira.
" Right."
Everyone gasped as the woman now became a pocket knife, and Sid caught her.
" Now for today, we will concentrate on transforming. All you have to do is think and become one with your weapon form. Just imagine yourself as one. Now, class has begun!"
Maka gulped and turned towards his partner who had both her eyes squeezed shut with a strain look on her face, causing Maka to stand still and watch in anticipation, wondering if Soul would actually be able to.
" W-waaaaah!" Maka watched as the girl fell down off balance since her left calf became a barely sharp red and black object.
" Soul! A-are you okay!?" The girl nodded and looked down at her leg.
" I-I did it!" The two turned their heads and like the rest of the students were in shock to find a girl in swirly glasses holding a staff that held electric within.
" Good job Ms. Ox Ford! Would you look at that? This young lady is already advanced!."
Maka scowled and helped Soul up, who was now back to normal.
" It's alright let's try it again." He whispered. Soul nodded and exhaled deeply before concentrating.
Moments later, she found herself in the same position as before and Maka kneeled down to help her up. This went on several times and before they knew it, four students were able to wield their weapons and they only had ten minutes left. Maka frowned and turned to face his partner, but was shocked to find her in silent tears.
" S-Soul!? What-"
" I-I can't do i-it." Her voice cracked. " I'm a terrible weapon. I-I can't even transform c-correctly." Maka's expression softened and he place both hands on his partner's shoulders, who looked up.
" Soul, don't worry! Nobody expected you to be perfect. It's our first day here and besides... other kids are struggling too. You can do it Soul. I believe in you." The girl looked down and quickly wiped her eyes before looking up with a determined look.
She would not let her meister down!
Taking a step back, Soul breathed in and out as she closed her eyes, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
I am a weapon! I am a weapon! I am a WEAPON!
She continued to chant these words until she felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
Maka and a few other kids watched as the girl glowed and suddenly, a blinding light showered across the room and Maka suddenly found himself with a scythe in his hand. The tip of the scythe wasn't so sharp so she was still developing but he was too happy to care.
" You did it Soul! Your a weapon!" The girl gave a smile with relief.
" I guess I did!" Maka found his self in shock once again.
" Y-your talking! It's talking!"
" Really? I didn't notice." Soul's voice came out.
" Good job kids. Nicely done." Maka looked up to see Sid giving them a smirk. " All you have to do is practice your combat moves and soul wavelengths and you'll be in the EAT class in no time.
This made Maka and Soul's spirit rise.
Maka couldn't wait to create his Death Scythe, a weapon to be stronger than his so called mother!
Soul couldn't wait to finally become a real Death Scythe! Her sister used to always be the center of attention. She used to be Wes's shadow but now, it was her turn to become the big deal.
Both: I'm ready!
...
:Soul Eater:
...
The bell rang for lunch and Soul found herself back to human form.
She and Maka made their ways down to the lunchroom, casually talking about each other and what had went on so far today.
" So you said you have a sister named Wes? What is she like?" Maka asked as the two sat down at a table.
" Well, she likes to play the violin a lot. Plus she's smarter than me." Maka laughed at the comment.
" Hey, you're just as smart as she is!"
" Heehee. So what's your mom like?"
Soul instantly regretted asking when she saw Maka's expression shift immediately to darkness.
" She's fine! Why do you ask?"
" U-um um...I'm sorry... I didn't..." Maka cursed himself when he watched the girl's eyes water.
" I'm sorry. I just don't like what she does. She say she loves my dad yet everywhere we go she's constantly flirting with other guys. I don't even want to refer to her as my mom!"
Soul nodded. It must hurt him a lot to see his mom act like that since she was the reason why he was brought here.
" Excuse me?" The two looked up and blinked to see a tall teen wearing his hair in a long pony tail and had a kind expression.
" May we sit here?"
" 'We?' "Maka asked until she noticed another person running up with a tray of lunch.
" Hey Tsubaki! Who are you guys!?" The blue-spiky haired girl asked a bit too loudly.
" These are the people we are eating with Black*Star." Tsubaki said patiently while sitting down.
" Oh okay! Hi the name's Black*Star! And I am a Dark Assassin! One day I'm gonna surpass the Gods! Hyahaha!" The energetic girl rambled all at once.
" Ehe. Yes you will. My name is Tsubaki and I am his partner, a Chain Scythe." Maka nodded.
" Well, I'm Maka and this is my partner, Soul Eater."
" Eeeeeh? Soul Eater?" Black*Star asked with two raised eyebrows. " That's a cool name!" Soul smiled at the compliment.
" Thank you-"
" But not as cool as mine! Hyahaha!" Soul sweated. She can already tell this person was a handful.
Once everyone were situated they began to chat a little but unfortunately, Black*Star had interrupted every single one of them.
Maka just smiled.
" So how did you two meet?" Trying to a get a new un-interrupted conversation started.
...
" Hyahaha! I am the one and only Black*Star! See me as I surpass every single one of you and even the Gods!" After more rants after rants, the girl found a now empty area. This of course, didn't seem to affect her at all.
" Guess they must have gotten scared and ran off...huh?" Black*Star blinked and looked down from the roof to find a boy clapping with a bag next to him.
This person was actually clapping for her?
The assassin jumped down from her spot and amazingly landed on her feet, before staring at the boy intensely, who seemed to have stopped clapping and gulp.
" Ah um... you had an amazing speech!"
" Ooooh?" The girl said with a slight pink haze on her cheeks. " You're the first person to sit through my speech. And for that, I'll acknowledge you. What's your name?"
The boy smiled and held out his name tag. " I'm Tsubaki. A weapon."
" And I'm Black*Star, a meister." And with that, the two seemed to have made a connection right then and there.
And the two knew, they were perfect for each other.
...
" Wow, that was amazing to hear!" Maka complimented. Black*Star somehow just exhaled steam from her small nose.
" That's because he noticed just how awesome I am!"
Tsubaki sweated with a humored smile. " Um...sure."
Nevertheless, the four were able to get along quite well and found their selves walking together to their next class.
Soul looked at Maka, catching the boy's look and the two blushed and looked away, ignoring Black*Star's rant.
Soul yelped when Black*Star was able to headlock her with one arm unnoticed.
" You know, not many get to be my friend! So you're a special case!"
" Somehow I don't feel so special." Soul commented, causing everyone to laugh.
Yup, good friends indeed.
