Title: I Challenge You!
Rating: G (or whatever the lowest rating is)
Anime: Soul Eater
Pairing(s): hinted SoulxMaka, KidxChrona, and possibly Black*StarxTsubaki (they're a bit harder for me for some reason).

Summary: What starts out as playful teasing turns into an all-out battle. Who will emerge victorious? And thus begins the chocolate war.
A/N: Yes, I know this is very out of season, but the idea popped in my head and I just couldn't resist. XD Hope you enjoy this silly, fluffy fic.

That day was fast approaching.
Everyone could feel it coming.
The dreaded, yet anticipated day when both men and women alike cower in fear. The one day of the year that held the power to send one into swirling delight, or tumbling into despair. Yes, one's whole fate could be brightened or destroyed in a matter of moments.
This fact was known by all.
It was greatly feared along with being well taken advantage of by all wise enough to prepare.
"One must always prepare for the day that could decide one's destiny," the God of Death muttered to himself, looking out absentmindedly at the many clouds gently floating in his Death Room.
"What was that, Chichiue?" his son, Death the Kid, questioned as he halted his steps, craning his neck in order to face his father.
"Eh? Oh, nothing, Kiddo-kun." He stated in reply, still not facing his son.
"Well, I guess I'll be on my way then." The younger shinigami said, brushing off the odd feeling in the air.
"Kiddo-kun," said boy turned at the call of his name, "Actually, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"HYAHOOOOOOOO!" the ever familiar cry of a certain hyper ninja rang through Class Crescent Moon and the vast halls of Shibusen.
It was fairly early morning as the gang of technicians and weapons settled themselves in the seats of their classroom, awaiting the arrival of their teacher.
"IT'S VALENTINE"S DAY!" the same boy known as Black*Star yelled once again, seeing his opportunity at gaining more attention as several students pooled into the classroom.
"Yeah, no shit, Sherlock." The once greatly feared Demon Sword grumbled, obviously annoyed.
"R-Ragnarok!" his more gentle meister scolded him, feeling embarrassed by her weapon's rudeness.
"Yeah, what was your first guess? All the sissy hearts covering the city, or the huge banners that say 'Happy Valentine's Day' hanging in the halls?" the red eyed scythe teased his friend.
The chain scythe technician seemed a bit miffed before replying, "Hah! As if such small things could go unnoticed by the great Black*Star!" The muscular boy shot his group of friends a wide, victorious grin as his weapon just gave an apologetic smile. They all just sweat-dropped, embarrassed for both him and his weapon before deciding to drop the fact that he basically just dissed himself.
"Hey, Onee-chan?" the blonde, childish pistol prompted, trying to get her sister's attention.
"Yeah, what?" her brunette sister asked as she emptied her giant tote bag of all its beauty supplies and magazines.
"What'cha doin'?" Patty pryed, leaning over Liz's shoulder in order to get a better view of what she was doing.
"I'm making space in my bag for all the valentines I'm bound to get today." The older girl replied with a confident smirk.
"HAH!" the aqua haired boy laughed, "If anyone's going to need space, it's me! I know I'm going to get the most chocolates! I am a god after all; surely I have more adoring followers than you."
"CH-CHOCOLATE?" the younger demon pistol bellowed, drawing a lot of attention onto the sisters. "I want some too!"
"No way man." Soul interjected, as Liz tried to calm her easily excited sister, "My coolness level is too high for you to reach. There's no way you could get more chocolates than me."
"Chocolates?" Patty screeched from the background.
"No, no. There are no chocolates!" Liz hushed, beginning to feel agitated.
"Eeeehhhhhhh?" Black*Star almost slurred as he inhumanly twisted his neck and face in irritation at Soul. The two overly confident boys then began to bicker among themselves.
At this, Maka and Tsubaki sighed in unison and gave each other a very knowing look. They then turned their heads at the sound of another sigh.
"This again?" the girls' eyes were met with a slightly annoyed Death the Kid, who had come into the room unnoticed thanks to the rowdy weapon and meister. "What are they arguing about this time?" he asked, his question aimed at no one in particular.
"Oh, just something about who will get the most valentines for Valentine's Day." The emerald eyed technician answered dryly with a wave of her hand.
"Eh?" Kid began with an even more questioning look on his face, "But why would anyone partake in such a presumptuous and petty venture?"
"Hey! I ain't promiscuous!" the white haired weapon turned on his heels and yelled at the young shinigami, his face a bit red.
"And I ain't pretty!" Black*Star hollered as well, standing aside the one he had been fighting with only a second ago.
"W-What?" Kid cried in defense and shock, "You turn on me?"
"You idiots heard wrong!" Maka shouted above them all, obviously irked by the whole ludicrous fuss. While Patty and Ragnarok could be heard laughing in the background and Tsubaki, Liz and Chrona just wisely tried to stay out of it.
The boys replied with a meek "Oh…" before changing the subject in an effort to brush aside their embarrassment.
"A-Anyway…! Why should you act all high and mighty?" Soul questioned Kid, trying to draw attention off of himself.
"Yeah!" Black*Star piped in, "If anyone's high and mighty, it's me! So why are you acting like a big padded shirt?"
Everyone just stared awkwardly at the boy a moment before replying.
"Uh… Do you mean a "stuffed shirt" perhaps?" the supposed to be offended boy inquired.
Another silent, uncomfortable moment past before it was shattered by crackling laughter.
"Oh, my ribs!" came the voice of Ragnarok as he held his tiny stomach, "I mean, I knew this dude was a dumbass, but I didn't know anyone could be this stupid!"
"Hahahaha! Heeheeheehee!" Patty cackled alongside the demon sword, singing, "Dumbass! Dumbass!"
"What'd you punks say?" the not very bright ninja tried to threaten, but failed, as it seemed to make the two laugh harder.
Chrona and Tsubaki just mumbled an "Oh my," at the seen, blushing, but for different reasons. Whereas Soul, Kid, Maka, and Liz tried to smother their growing chuckles, until the shinigami and scythe could handle the pressure no longer. Black*Star's glare turned back at his two original opponents.
"Fine! Laugh all you want, fools! For it is I, the great Black*Star, who will be laughing in the end!" the half-witted meister declared boldly.
"Yeah right, you wish." The now collected Soul stated coolly, "You're too much of a dope to get people to like you. It'll definitely be me who gets the most valentines."
"My, you two seem full of yourselves." Kid remarked at the two, finding their behavior rude and childish.
"Oh really?" Soul and Black*Star asked in the same breath, suddenly leaning over Kid. "What, you think you can get more chocolates than us?"
"I never said tha—" but Kid was cut off before he could defend himself.
"Hah, sounds to me like somebody's chicken." The scythe baited the shinigami as the assassin began to make clucking sounds. Their aggravating taunting finally got to Kid.
"Fine! I accept your challenge." he spat.
"Just what I was hoping for." Soul stated with a smirk.
"Yeah! It's more fun when there are more opponents to beat." Black*Star agreed, "In fact… I CHALLENGE EVERYONE!" he hollered at the top of his lungs to the entire class.

A/N: Meant for this to be a short one-shot, but this felt like a good place to end it for now. Will update soon. =)
