Finding Two Souls
Part one:
Maka and Soul were walking to Black Star and Tsubaki's apartment on a crisp, autumn, Thursday morning because they had plans to go out for breakfast with them. They reached the apartment plaza and walked into the main office. While entering the door, a "ting-a-ling" sound from the bell alerted everyone in it of their presence. Looks were shot their way.
As they made their way to the receptionist, Soul could just make out the almost inaudible voice of a little child.
The said child walked up to Soul. She had long strawberry-blonde hair and could not be much older than five. As the little girl perused Soul's facial features, she inquired, "what's wrong with your eyes, mister? And what's with your teeth! Ouch, they must hurt. They look razor sharp. Are you a weirdo?"
Soul gave a gasp as he looked down at this rosy-cheeked girl.
"Now, honey," said the mother as she walked over to where her child was interrogating Soul. "That's mean, you are being very churlish! Apologize to this handsome young man, right now!"
Maka couldn't help but to let a little chuckle escape from her mouth.
"NO!" shouted the little girl. "I won't apologize! I am just asking questions!"
"Apologize!"
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, !"
Soul's only reaction was to stand stoic, watching as the mother and daughter bicker.
"Urg, you really need to learn some respect young lady! No tea parties for the rest of the month. And no stuffed animals when you sleep, either!"
"!" Lamented the little girl.
"I am so sorry for my daughter, young man. I hope that you can forgive her."
"Uh, yeah, sure."
"Thank you, well, goodbye." Soul watched as she started to drag the screaming little girl through the hall and out the doors.
Maka walked over to Soul, who was now standing in place, not knowing what to make out of the situation that had just occurred.
"Is everything alright, Soul?" Maka asked quizzically.
Soul, with a half stricken look, replied in a disheartened voice, "Yeah, It was just another person who was curious about my facial attributes."
"Ah." Maka knew that Soul had once had a soft-spot about that subject, but thought he had gotten over it. Maybe, he still hadn't.
"Come on Soul, let's go find Tsubaki and Black Star, okay?" Maka asked, trying to get Soul's mind off of what had just occurred.
"Alright, Maka, let's go."
