A/N: Hello anyone reading this, whether you read the original or not, this is not someone else doing this but the original writer, UncommonSenses. I've decided to start anew and I wanted to take my first story and rewrite it. If any remember reading this before, it was clouded with inconsistencies, horrible pacing and much more...
That aside, I wish to rewrite this and I hope you enjoy, (the new account was just personal preference, I hadn't updated this in two years or so).
This takes place after the Soul Eater anime, if you're lost as to what some of this is, I suggest you at least read a full synopsis on the story that followed in the anime.
Death City, the place of hope, death, and the DWMA (Death Weapon Meister Academy). Ever since the fall of the Kishin known as Asura, Death City had been very tranquil. The sun followed this, blasting it's beams down upon Death City, it was relentless, but complemented the challenge the weapons and meisters had conquered, defeating Asura.
7:30am, Maka Albarn, scythe meister, gifted student, heroine, rose from her bed. Upon sluggishly rubbing her eyes and letting out a slight whining yawn, she opened her curtains, sliding them aside to burst open her bedroom window to see the blissful city at peace once more.
"What a relief, so it wasn't just a dream" Maka said, stretching herself to wake up a bit more, "And there was me thinking we were still enveloped in madness". Maka turned so she was sat on her bed, her soul felt relaxed, calm, chilled. "Well, we still have two more days until the school should be back open" Maka claimed, getting up and skimming through her wardrobe.
"Might as well enjoy these days whilst we can" She mumbled, grabbing her usual attire, her undershirt buttoned up, she looked at her cream vest and glanced back outside, the sun was still gleaming, laughing to itself as it shun over the buildings and glazing them with it's rays. Maka put the vest back down, "I think a summer wardrobe would be more appropriate" she said, putting on a different shirt and grabbing her green hoodie, a gift from her partner Soul Eater.
Maka opened her bedroom door, her living room was as quiet and tidy as ever (this was thanks to her, Soul would be one of the last people to clean up). The chairs arranged around the dinner table, portraits of Maka and Soul's families assorted throughout the building, more of Maka and her mother to be fair, and the books arranged alphabetically in the bookshelves, just how Maka liked it.
Maka threw her hoodie on the arm of one of the chairs by the back window, she turned to the kitchen to begin making breakfast, "I wonder what the others are up to today, we should probably meet up with them...".
Meanwhile
An alarm clock was ringing, it rung, it rattled, it just wouldn't shut up, until a young man's fist punched it off the bedside table. The clock flew around the room, pinging off every surface until it eventually landed on the floor and fizzled out with a little sad face.
"Damn thing, some things never change, ugh, well, I guess I can't complain, looks like a cool morning today" a low-yet-soothing voice said, the teen sat up, "Looks like the summer wardrobe is kicking in...".
As he turned to sit on his bed like his partner did a moment ago, the white-haired teenager stood up and stretched for a few seconds, after slumping on his headband, red skinny jeans and putting on his blue jumper, Soul Eater headed out of his bedroom into the living room.
Maka heard a door open, she glanced behind to see Soul, "Good morning" he said, standing beside her, "Looks like we've got peace and quiet for a while huh?".
Maka nodded, "Yep, we all tried our hardest and we pulled it off, we won, and I couldn't be happier, I'm just making breakfast now".
Soul clapped his hands together, "Great! Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it, though a soul would be only slightly better" he said walking to sit on one of the other chairs by the table.
Maka scowled, "Still know how to tick me off even with cooking don't you?", Maka said as she began to flip over the food she was preparing.
"You know it!" Soul said, laughing.
Maka smiled herself and kept silent before speaking up, "I'm sure you'll take that back once I serve this up Soul".
"Yeah well, I'll be the judge of that" Soul claimed, clicking a lot on his phone, Maka didn't respond, she focused on her cooking.
A few minutes later she served it on a plate, she walked over to Soul and placed the plate in front of him, "Who were you texting earlier Soul?", feeling nosy as she asked.
"Just a friend, or two", Soul said, one eye open and grinning.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, Maka glanced at the door, then back to Soul, who's grin was now growing in size. Maka sighed, walked to the front door and pulled it open, before her stood five of her and Soul's friends.
As usual, the boy with blue hair had to speak up first, his high-pitched voice shrill and ear-piercing, yet always cheerful and full of energy. His ninja outfit blew a little in the summer breeze, the scarf getting in the other's faces he pointed to himself and spoke, "Soul said you got some killer breakfast in the making Maka! He said you'd be cool with us having some too! Yahoo!".
Black*Star always knew how to set the mood, his voice did all the work, Maka turned to Soul raising an eyebrow, "He did did he?" she said in a dark tone.
Soul smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"I hope this isn't too much trouble Maka" a softer voice in comparison to Black*Star's said, the girl was considerably taller than Black*Star, her long tied up black hair stretching down behind her, she was tugging her collar a bit nervously, Tsubaki looked very apologetic.
Maka shook her head, "It's no trouble honestly, I think Soul and I will have a chat, later", she said sounding eerily threatening. Soul just broke a sweat but remained calm.
Maka let the two of them in, Black*Star sat next to Soul as the two began to discuss the previous victory and how 'cool' and 'strong' they were respectively. Of course there were three more guests in waiting.
"Pardon the intrusion Maka, Soul had told us you were 'cool' with it after all" the well-spoken son of death explained. His black jacket and trousers reflecting some of the sunlight in Maka's eyes, his hair medium length and his three white lines dawned on his hair on one side as always, much to his dismay.
Kid walked in and began to admire the furniture and how it was arranged, his OCD was kicking in, Kid hadn't changed since Asura perished. Lastly were the two sisters and weapons of the reaper Kid himself, they had their traditional red half-tops covering the top-half of their bodies, even their cowgirl-style hats too.
Liz and Patty came in, Liz had her hands in her pockets, "Well well well, this place looks A LOT better now that there's no red sky hanging over it, how've you been?".
Maka smiled back, "Oh, I'm fine thanks, I was just thinking what you guys were up to, I guess Soul acted on instinct and called you all 'round".
Maka looked back at Soul, who was telling Black*Star a joke, the two began to laugh in an uproar, Maka chuckled, "At least he didn't let the madness ruin him...".
Liz titled her head, "The what?".
"O-Oh, n-nothing, just something we uh, had to deal with, anyway, I guess I should get breakfast done huh?".
As Maka went back to the kitchen to make more food, Kid was mumbling to himself about a piece of art on the wall. Soul and Black*Star were practically in tears over an off-colour joke Soul had just made.
Patty walked up to her sister, "Gee sis, a lot happened huh? But now everyone's all cheery!".
"You got that right Patty, let's sit down, I think Tsubaki needs company, I don't think she can handle both Black*Star and Soul" she said laughing a little.
"I'll go and talk to her, I could use a girlfriend to talk to!" Patty wandered off to sit with Tsubaki.
Liz stood for a few seconds, her eyes became blank white circles, "Wait, is your sister not good enough?!" she asked, realising she was overreacting, Patty had a point, Liz always connected more with Maka anyway. Liz left her sister to it, Liz instead leaned on the worktop next to Maka, who was currently making another batch of food.
"Looks like everyone's holding up ok then huh? I was just talking to Patty about it" Liz said, sighing with relief.
Maka nodded in response, "Yep, the DWMA should be back open in two days, I can't wait to hit the books again! I'm gonna get even stronger".
Liz grabbed her chin, "Easy for you to say, I need to actually study once in a while, I didn't exactly get a decent score in the test months ago...". "I dunno" Liz carried on, "I think things are gonna be more peaceful around here, we have our futures ahead of us, but I suppose we should be ready for anything".
Maka stopped for a moment, "You have a point, I can only hope things stay the way they are now... Could you cover a moment? I have to go to the bathroom".
Whilst Maka went to the bathroom, Liz covered Maka's cooking, or as much as she could, she just watched nervously and was ready to freak out if it set alight.
Kid then came to the table in the living room and sat on an individual chair, "How've you been? Soul, Black*Star, I take it you've been well?".
Soul grinned "Yep, things are as cool as ever, we defeated a Kishin yest-".
"Hell yeah! Did you see me out there?! I kicked ass! I'm gonna surpass God before you all know it!" Black*Star interrupted.
Soul sighed, "Well, at least we know Black*Star's still kicking on", the others laughed as Black*Star struck various poses and grunted doing so.
Kid crossed one of his legs over the other, "My father wanted to let you know that the plans have changed, and the DWMA has been on full force to rebuild the building, so school should be back on tomorrow.
A bunch of groans followed, "Seriously? Damn, at least I can train" Black*Star said trying to look at the positives.
"Ugh, not cool at all" Soul said, "But I suppose the day's just getting started so let's make the most of it while we can".
The group agreed with Soul, Kid himself wasn't too concerned, in fact, he was eager to head back to school, but he of course knew that his friends may not be, so eager as him...
Soul got up, "Hey Liz! Come and relax! I'll watch Maka's food" he said walking over to the food in the making.
"You sure?" Liz asked with concern.
"Yeah, don't worry, besides I called you all here, I might as well let you enjoy yourself, I'll cover it don't you worry" Soul assured. Liz sat where Soul was sat before and began to talk in the group gathered around the table.
Maka came out of the bathroom, she saw Soul serving up some of the food, she looked over at her friends enjoying themselves, Black*Star was telling the time he fought Mifune the guardian of the little witch Angela. Of course this was the match that he lost that he was talking about, Tsubaki made sure to but in and point out when he was lying, which caused quite a bit of humour among the group.
"No sweat!" Black*Star said, "I won them with no trouble!".
Tsubaki then spoke up, "Didn't he make you bleed a lot? Wasn't there a time where-", as Tsubaki carried on pointing out the holes in Black*Star's story, Maka turned her attention to Soul.
Laughter filled the background and she went to the fridge to get some juice, "Looks like you're making things a little more fair on me now, where's Crona anyhow? Is he busy?" she said pouring her drink.
Soul shrugged, "Yeah he said he's busy hanging with Marie today, they're checking up on Stein, maintaining him, he said he may be around in the afternoon. Plus he also said Stein's recovering pretty quick, he'll be teaching us again in no time, don't think Ragnarok is excited to head back though. Also It would be too mean to see you struggle like that anyway, I brought them all here so I don't want to make you keel over", silence came between the two partners.
Soul began to hum and then spoke up, "Those two plates there are for Black*Star and Tsubaki, since they entered first, besides Black*Star won't shut up about waiting to try the food anyhow".
"Alright, I'll take it to them now" Maka answered, chuckling a bit, relating with Soul about Black*Star's impatience.
After taking a few steps Soul spoke, "School's back on tomorrow by the way, thought you should know, since it'll be a new term we need to get our head in the game, I'll be counting on you".
Maka stood for a moment, she then walked off to deliver the meal to her friends, she then thought to herself, "Yeah, I'll be counting on you too Soul".
