This is a Mifune and BlackStar coupling. I will give you a moment here. I see that it isn't the most popular couple, or maybe even a couple that you know or like, but I think that I sorta like it. They obviously have tension, what type of tension it is, is what is left to the mind. Couplings are in the eye of the beholder. I also don't own Soul Eater or any of characters or locations.
Mifune sat on the steps of Demon Cinder Castle, feeling the wind gently play with his hair. He smiled at the rising sun, knowing that soon Angela would be up exploring. He thought it was one of the warmest mornings yet. Hearing small footsteps, he smiled, turning to see Angela opening the front door, "Mifune!" She said, still groggy. "Good morning." He turned his back to the caution tape fluttering in the early breeze. "Would you make me breakfast?" She said rubbing her eyes.
He eventually returned to the steps, Angela went to her lessons. The air didn't feel right, heavier than usual. Mifune stood, ducking behind a pillar. It was a small dot at first, spreading like ink. Al Gore. He was leading his goons right towards Angela. They were so close now, he closed in, throwing himself onto the sandy ground. "What is your business here?" Mifune asked, standing tall, "If you are here for the witch Angela I will protect her with my life." The group smiled, almost in creepy unison. "Look at this guy! Rub him." Al said, smiling wickedly at his goons. They rushed Mifune, grabbing for his robes. He jumped up, pulling out his katana and slicing them on the way down. Souls were floating at eye level, but Mifune had no use for them. He kept slicing until the last of the group retreated quickly. He wiped his blade clean and smiled, easy. He returned to the steps, leaving the carnage as another warning. Or so he thought.
"Tsubaki, this sword guy is supposed to be really important right? Shinigama-sama was talking about him having a strong soul, worth all 99 souls we need to collect." She nodded. It was a nice day, they walked together silently, looking at the trees and sky. "All 99 souls and a witch? You could be a death scythe by the end of the day!" The castle appeared quickly, making them pause on the path. A mess of bodies were scattered around, splayed in uncomfortable positions. Blood and souls were spread all over. Tsubaki shuddered and turned to BlackStar, waiting for instructions. He smiled, "Are these the guys we were fighting earlier, Al Gore's guys?" She looked around, a sad look in her eyes, "Yes, I think that they are." BlackStar shrugged and continued, stepping around the hundreds of swords in the ground. He reached the tape, still fluttering. "Keep out? No one can keep out a star like me!" He said, bending under the yellow banners. At first it was just a shadow, small. BlackStar looked up and saw Mifune, flying down from the air, like an avenging angel. He landed on the balls of his feet, his fingers touching the ground slightly before springing out of the crouch and staring at them with his steely brown eyes. "What are you here for? Depending on your answer I may or may not kill you." BlackStar stood his ground, "I am the amazing BlackStar and I am here to collect your soul and the soul of the witch Angela." Stood stood tall, with a cocky smile plastered on his face. Mifune smiled and spoke quietly, "As you wish." BlackStar nodded, "Tsubaki, chain scythe mode!" She smiled, the end of her ponytail already starting the transformation, "Yes, Sir!" He grabbed the end and did a fancy move, BlackStar saw the swords stuck in the ground twitch and turn. "Afraid you will look small in the face of a hero as big as I am?"
They flew around, making loud clangs and clicks. "If your weapon wasn't so great you would be in pieces by now." Mifune said, gritting his teeth and pulling his sword up to prepare another attack. Mifune swung his sword in a large arc, catching the chain and making BlackStar slip, his footing unstable at best. "Tsubaki, Smoke Bomb." She turned into a small black ball, giving off clouds and clouds of smoke. BlackStar melted into the clouds, blending in completely, Mifune was trying to target him, but saw that he was actually quite stealthy. Tsubaki continued to give of smoke, "YOUR SOUL IS MINE!" BlackStar yelled obnoxiously. Mifune whirled around and saw BlackStar, coming down from the smoke, Tsubaki in hand. He sliced, but Mifune had just enough time to whirl away and hit BlackStar in the stomach with the end of his sword.
The smoke was mostly cleared as BlackStar blinked. His hand was on his stomach, his eyes slightly glazed over. "No." He whispered, moaning a bit. Tsubaki appeared in a flash, "BLACKSTAR!" She sounded distraught as she crouched down next to him. "Hitting me with the back of your sword? Only big shots like me try moves like that." His voice was slightly muddled, but he began to stand. "I do see what you are trying to do here. You are trying to steal the spotlight from me, but that will never happen! I AM THE STAR! GOT IT? Tsubaki, Ninja Sword Mode!"
"Assassin's Rule 1." Tsubaki said, fading into weapon form. Mifune stood there, listening, waiting. He saw BlackStar's eyes, glinting. His eyes... Was this even the same brat? He couldn't even hear breathing, or footsteps. Only the quiet fluttering of banners. Nothing, no warning calls, no loud yahoo call. Only silence, so quiet that it made Mifune's ears ring. Every second lasted an hour. Mifune was taken back by the rough warm hand placed on the small of his back, "BlackStar's BIG WAVE!" His ears were in pain from the loud explosion that was BlackStar's voice, but that wasn't the only thing exploding. The move sent a bolt of BlackStar's energy through Mifune's body.
BlackStar watched Mifune fall to the ground, grabbing his stomach and yelling out. He said something, but Mifune only saw his lips move. Tsubaki was standing near him, watching Mifune try and get a breath in. "I am the star, and you should regret ever trying to outshine me." He glared down at Mifune, until a small black blur blocked his view. "DON'T HURT MIFUNE!" BlackStar met the purple gaze of Angela, the witch. "This is Angela?" She was just a kid, short with a small round face and child-like voice. "Angela." Mifune groaned, shielding her with his body. "You won't take the witch Angela's soul, not so long as I am still breathing." She stuck her tongue out at BlackStar.
Tsubaki looked at BlackStar and smiled. "We might never get a chance like this again, a special 99-soul human off his guard and a child witch." He nodded, "I'm too big of a star to fight an unfair fight, and picking on kids is weak." He stuck out a hand to Mifune, helping him up. "You are a pretty good fighter, Mifune, thanks for the practice." Mifune was quiet, letting his thoughts run rampant because BlackStar was still keeping hold of his hand, shaking it. "Come on, I'm hungry. Let's head out Tsubaki." They both bowed and then left. Mifune watched them walk away, mostly watching BlackStar.
MIFUNE'S POV
I flopped over in my bed, sighing heavily. Sleep had been avoiding me for hours, leaving me cold and bored of the chase. I thought of BlackStar, and felt the lingering power of his soul wavelength. When it had shot through me I had an insiders look at BlackStar's feelings, his thoughts. It had put me under a spell, it was like the best drug, knowing all of BlackStar's innermost stuff, if even for one moment. But, it wasn't just that, I couldn't fight the feeling that I was falling for him. I thought of his eyes, full of himself attitude, his soft mouth, cocky smirk, tan skin; how would all of that tan skin feel underneath my fingers. I could let my hands run all over him. I shook my head, clearing the thoughts of BlackStar's luminous skin, his face looking up at me, his mouth pressed to mine. I sat up, sighing again. I walked to the window, seeing the first glow of morning light. "I can't like him. Please, he is after Angela, the only reason I stay on this world at all." I shook my head, and got dressed, maybe sitting on the steps could clear my head.
BLACKSTAR'S POV
"My stomach, is just so full." He said, laughing at Tsubaki. She stood up, walking to me and smiling, "Maybe you should eat less next time." She leaned forward to whisper it into my ear. Then she sat on my lap and kissed my neck. I tilted my head back as she continued to kiss me. I wasn't even there, I was thinking of Mifune, was he alright? Tsubaki's hair brushed my shoulder. "Hey, stop, please. I'm not in the mood." I said, trying to push her off. "That's not a BlackStar attitude." She said, biting my neck softly. "No, really. I am not doing this tonight." I stood up and she slid off my lap, kneeling on the floor. "BlackStar, what is it?" She had a bit of whine in her voice, which was one of the more annoying things she did. "It's nothing. I just need some sleep." She smiled, "Alright then, goodnight BlackStar." She kissed me one last time, and I walked out of the kitchen. I went to my room, the floor was a mess. I really should clean this dump, I walked to my tangled mass of blankets, straightening them out. I jumped into bed, laying back on my pillows. Mifune popped into my head, making my stomach clench. I thought I was over that, he was fine, alive, probably sore. No blood was on my hands today, but I kept thinking about him. The silver hair, brown eyes, that weird weed he had been chewing on, his back under my hand, his body laying there moaning. I got a weird feeling, one that I had never felt. With Tsubaki, I never got anywhere near this feeling, it was always her kisses making me feel nice, but thinking about Mifune filled me with painful sunshine, so weird and new. Tsubaki wasn't even who I wanted, she sure wanted me, wanted more than I was willing to give. I bet with Mifune it would be easier than this. How bad was he hurting, did my soul force hurt him? Should I check up on him? "That's stupid, why would he want to see you? Because, you're a big star right? He probably doesn't like you anyway." I scolded myself, sighing and trying to sleep. Maybe, I would even dream about him, dreams are your wants and it might sort out whether or not to go visit him. I will leave it to my brain! High-five BlackStar. I high-fived myself and laughed, letting out the tension and worry. "Goodnight Mifune, wherever you are."
