The ash-blonde meister swung her scythe around and rested it on her shoulders.

"You okay Maka?" said a concerned voice from inside the scythe. Maka looked over her shoulder to see Soul's face shining through the blade. She smiled through gritted teeth.

"Just fine. Come on!" She rushed at the keeshin in front of her and swiped at him. Faster than she could react he leaped up and appeared behind her. Her eyes widened and she flew, smashing in to the buildings around her from the force of its kick.

"MAKA!" Soul jumped out of weapon form and held her up,"MAKA!" She smiled weekly

"Soul, i'm... I'm fine. Get back into weapon form he's coming!" Reluctantly he switched back into scythe form and she picked him up facing the keeshin in front of her. "Your soul, MINE!" It narrowed its eyes at her and seemed to be laughing. i'll show him She thought to herself.

She sprinted toward him and just as the keeshin swiped at her she slid through his legs and slashed down cutting right through his body. Blood smeared onto her coat and gloves but she wiped it off.

"Come on Soul, its ours now."

A hand reached from out of the blade and a head followed. It grabbed the giant blood red soul floating in the air and ate it.

"Yum. Where's the next keeshin." Soul said,fully transformed into a human now.

"I dunno Soul lets check in with Kid, he is the new reaper now." Maka replied taking off her gloves. She walked to a window and breathed on the glass creating a fog to dial the number. She muttered it under her breath and soon Kidd appeared.

"Hey Maka, hey Soul What's up- oh, your out with the keeshins again. You guys are supposed to be teachers now! Get back to the DWMA!" He shook his head and said," While your out there just clean up along-"

A scream interrupted his sentence and before they had time to look over, a huge dark figure appear behind Maka. It grinned and she turned just in time for a huge claw to swiped down and rip her body in half, a bright blue soul floated out her her and the keeshin ate it. Her head rolled her to look at Soul mouthing the last words he would ever see her say

run... my love.

The surprise on his face turned into anger and he collapsed onto his knees tears streaming down his cheeks. The orders of kid telling him to run and the screams and cries of Patty and Liz echoed in the back of his mind. All that mattered was the one he loved was gone. He looked up at the Keeshin, its claws were bloody and it was smiling at him through hollow eyes.

More Power...

it grinned and crawled towards Soul. Soul looked up and changed his arm into a scythe.

"You... Your going to... PAY!" Soul jumped up and kicked the thing in its sour face and he slashed it with his blade over and over even until it was on the ground, after it was dead, after Kidd, Liz and Patty had gotten there. Tears streamed down his face and he hit it again. His strength was gone and he collapsed on his side. He crawled over the Maka's dead body and held her in his arms.

I'm so sorry...
