Hey! I just finished watching Soul Eater Not and re-watched the end of Soul Eater, and decided something! I HATE HOW SIDE CHARACTERS GET ALMOST NO DEVELOPMENT. So, this is a short, kinda-action/emotional story about how after the DWMA finds out Kim's a witch(which I think happened in one episode, if you know which PLZ tell me, if I'm dreaming then nvm) and she goes on the run for a bit. Jackie, Maka, and Soul are sent to find her. The next chapter... will be MUCH DIFFERENT. It'll be...uh... reinforcing the pairing with some... action(wink wink heh). Begin!

Kim wheezed as she hit the ground rolling, ducking under a set of pipes. She pushed herself back farther and crouched, watching the boots of her persuer move away from her. She moved to the side, preparing to run. "Kim, where are you?" Maka yelled. "We know you're here, just come out already!" Kim gritted her teeth, then broke into a sprint. She heard Maka take in a breath and turn towards her, but she was off and running. She sprinted down the alleyway, heading for the main square.

She ran out into the square, slowing herself to a stop as she saw her other opponent. Maka ground to a stop behind her, cutting off her her only other exit. "Jackie..." she said, looking back and forth between her and Kim. Jackie narrowed her eyes, shooting Kim a look of hatred. Kim clenched her fist, and turned her head to the side. "Kim!" Jackie yelled. "What are you doing? Why did you flee from the academy?" Kim closed her eyes, trying to control her breath. "You know why, Jackie. You're the only one that knows-at least, right now. Sid-sensei, Death-sensei, and everyone else would've found out too, and I couldn't..." she trailed off, turning her head away from Jackie.

Maka looked back and forth between them, trying to figure out what was happening. "Jackie, what is she talking about? What is Kim doing to the academy?" she said franctically. Jackie clenched her fist, gritting her teeth in anger. "So? What if they found out? That doesn't mean you're not a student anymore! You're still a meister, my meister, a DWMA third-year student, a-"

"A what?" Kim yelled suddenly, turning on Jackie with anger burning in her eyes. "You know what would've happened! DWMA has been the enemy of witches for years! The Arachne and Medusa stuff hasn't blown over, and I don't want anyone to think I'm like them at all!" she tried to surpress the note of desperation in her voice as she took a step towards Jackie, who was wearing a hurt expression.

Jackie lowered her head, closing her eyes. "You didn't do anything, Kim. You haven't yet, and I intend to keep it that way-" she turned into an attack stance, changing her arm into a lanturn- "if I have to drag you back to the DWMA myself!" She charged, surprising Kim. She blocked the first blow, grunting as the metal scorched her arm. She broke the block and kicked Jackie, sending her reeling back.

She used her momentum to do a cartwheel, ending up next to Maka, who started as Kim landed next to her. She turned in anger and swung Soul, missing Kim by a hair. Kim jumped back, crashing into a street cart as Maka's next blow landed, slicing across her burnt arm. She grunted, slowly pushing herself up as Jackie caught her breath. She dodged Maka's next blow, retreating to the other side of the square. She stumbled slightly, falling to one knee as she cradled her bleeding arm, breathing heavily.

Maka tightened her grip on the scythe. "You were a witch? This whole time? Of all places, why.. why come to the DWMA?" she asked quietly. She raised her head, staring at Kim. "Why? Did Medusa send you? Arachne? Answer me!" she yelled in frustration. Kim looked back at her, chest heaving as she stood slowly.

"You're wrong, Maka. I didn't come here because I wanted to cause the DWMA harm as a witch-" she said, staggering back and leaning on a wall. "I came so I could cut my ties, to stop being a witch. They way I see it... being a witch is kinda like being a weapon. You don't get to choose to be one, and you have to control it, or else you could hurt someone." She looked up, meeting Maka's glare.

"I came to be a meister, so I could stop other witches." she peered at Maka caustiously from her leaning position on the wall, trying to keep her vision straight.Well, she and Jackie are from the EAT class. No wonder they mopped the floor with me. Maka blinked hard and meet her gaze, resting Soul on the ground. "We still have to bring you in, Kim. You can't just run away." Kim scowled, pushing herself off the wall.

"I committed no crime, so why am I being taken? The Reaper wanna chop me up as a warning to other witches?" she asked bitterly. "No." Maka said, frowning slightly. "Your partner needs to talk to you, and she can't do that if you're runnig away." Kim's eyes widened as she realized what was happening a second too lated. She turned as Jackie's lanturn arm crashed down over her head, knocking her into the ground with a rumble and crack of rock. She gasped as her head exploded with pain, watching the blurry edges of her vision close in.

She saw a pair of feet approach her head, and made out a familiar flame as it disappeared. Jackie... she thought as she blacked out.

Yeah! That was... too much plot in this. Well, next time, Jackie kinda... takes out her anger at Kim for leaving her at the academy and not taking her with her. It gets a bit lemony, but nothing too exciting. Yuri, hope to have it up soon. Heck, I might even make a chapter 3! Maybe.
