Hey Guys! This is my 3rd story and I hope everyone enjoys it! Please review you guys, I love it when you do! Any thoughts at all! I'm still trying to figure out which POV to write in, so I'll start with No POV. If you haven't watched the anime it might be a bit confusing for you, because that's what I'm basing this off of.
Maka woke up to the annoying and constant beep of her alarm clock. With reluctance she pulled the covers off of herself and hesitantly put her feet on the cold hardwood floor. She pushed the button on her alarm clock to make it stop its continuous whine. Stretching out her arms she rubbed her sleep blurred eyes, and with a giant yawn she stood up and walked over to her radio. Turning it onto her favorite station, Maka proceeded to her closet to get her clothes out to change into after her shower. She chose a white button up blouse and a black and red checkered skirt, pairing it with a long black sweater and two red ribbons for her hair.
When Maka finished getting ready she headed to the kitchen of her apartment to grab a granola bar. A slight smile lit up her face when she thought about not having to deal with her no good papa. She growled slightly and headed out the door and into the warm spring breeze. As she walked to school she thought about her current predicament.
Yes, she was living alone at the moment. She was grateful that she didn't have to see her papa everyday, but he still was trying to ruin her new-found freedom. He was making her get a room-mate. Not a complete stranger, but someone from the DWMA. She couldn't get out of it, but she hoped that it was at least someone she could get along with. Hopefully it was a girl.
She sighed as she walked past the front doors of her school. She forgot about her troubles and her mood instantly brightened. She hopped over to her friends who were hanging out around their lockers, which were all right next to each other without a break, with the exception that Soul Evens, the most popular guy in school, locker was between Maka's and Tsubaki's. She surveyed the crowd to see that she was the last one to arrive. Kidd was yelling at Liz and Patty again, most likely for something about symmetry. Kidd is majorly OCD. Maka walked over to Tsubaki and Blackstar, who were talking about kishin souls.
"Hey!" Maka said happily as she bounded up.
"Hello Maka" Tsubaki said sweetly while Blackstar waved his hands furiously while he jumped up and down. Maka laughed quite loudly as she and Tsubaki moved the few steps to their lockers.
"How's room-mate hunting going?" Tsubaki asked with a light smile on her face.
"No one has even applied yet.'' Maka said huffily. "But, it can't be that hard. I mean, come one! I've already taken on kishins, so a room-mate can't be that hard to handle." She said and smiled. She knew that in a little bit she wouldn't be able to talk about the kishins. You see, her and her gang are all part of a fighting group, each selected by Lord Death himself. You could call them an advanced class, because no one else their age would be hunting kishins for another few years. They weren't aloud to tell anyone, but Maka wasn't sure why. It was very hard to keep Blackstar in check about it, seeing that he brags about himself all the time.
The group of friends were about to head off to their first class, but Spirit stopped them. Maka glared daggers at her red haired father, and Tsubaki had to put a calming hand on Maka's shoulder before Maka could jump at her no-good cheating papa.
"What do you want Spirit." Maka growled, causing Tsubaki to tighten her grip. Spirit sniffed and was about to throw himself at his daughter and cling to her legs like always when Kidd and Blackstar appeared right next to him, each taking one arm.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" The two of them hissed simultaneously.
"Maka why don't you love your papa!" Spirit screeched, tears streaming down his face as he struggled to break free of the two teen's grasp. It was a pathetic sight, and everyone there knew it. Maka just stared at him coldly.
"If that's all you want I'm leaving." Maka said and was about to turn on her heel when her sniveling father spoke again.
"Lord Death would like to see all of you." Spirit said, his voice showing how defeated he felt. Kidd and Blackstar let go of the adult, causing him to fall on his face, and then the entire group walked off towards Lord Death's office, leaving Maka's dejected father crying his eyes out on the cold linoleum.
Maka walked into Lord Death's room before everyone else, seeing that she was the leader of the group. She surveyed the room and quickly assessed the situation. Lord Death was sitting at his skull table, along with one other individual. Maka narrowed her eyes at the white haired and red eyed teen. It was the person she hated most, Soul Evens. He glared back at her, and both of them got a sinking feeling in their stomachs. This was not going to be good.
"Hello Maka!" Lord Death said with his high pitched voice. "I've called all of you here to tell you something. You see, Soul here is going to be a member of your group!" Lord Death said cheerily, not feeling the tension in the room.
"No way tiny-tits is the leader of the soul eater gang!"
"Your saying we have to work with snow-white over here?!"
Both Maka and Soul protested at the same time.
"Well, Soul, Maka is the most talented mister I've seen since her mother was here, and Maka, your group is one weapon short, seeing that Kidd uses both Liz and Patty, and Soul here is a very skilled weapon. " Lord Death said and clapped his giant foam hands together.
" I completely understand Father."
"Yay! New member!"
"Patty I don't think this is a good thing"
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT YOU'LL BE A BIGGER STAR THAN ME!"
Kidd, Patty, Liz, and Blackstar all said at the same time while Maka, Tsubaki and Soul all just stayed quiet. Maka raised her head high and spoke, causing everyone to go quiet.
"I understand Lord Death, is that all?" She said, the essence of maturity. Soul snorted, earning a glare from the entire group.
"Actually, no. I need to see you and Soul, but the rest of you can leave." Lord Death stated, and the rest of the gang left when they were dismissed. Maka hesitantly walked up to the table, and sat across from Soul, keeping her back as straight as a board. Lord Death sat so that there was one seat between him and Maka and one seat between him and Soul.
"Spirit, Mrs. Evens, you can join us now." Lord Death called, breaking the silence. Spirit sat in the empty seat between his child and Lord Death, while Mrs. Evens did the same thing. Neither of the teenagers liked this, so the two of them moved one more seat over so they didn't have to sit next to their parents. Seeing that it was a seven chair table, Maka and Soul were now sitting next to each other, but they both found that better than their previous seats. Spirit looked at Maka with a purple aura of despair, whereas Soul's mother just looked very annoyed.
"Ok, well I called all of you here to discuss something." Lord Death said, oblivious to the awkwardness going on. Everyone at the table focus their attention on him as he continued.
"I think that Maka and Soul should be room-mates!" He announced, causing everyone's jaw to drop. Spirit was the first one to recover.
"But sir, that is highly inappropriate!" Spirit said with the most formality he could must and Soul's mother nodded in agreement, but Maka burst out into laughter.
"Sorry, continue." She said, choking back the laughs as she wiped a tear from her eye. Soul eyed her strangely, but she paid no heed to him.
"Well, Spirit, it's only natural for mister and weapon to get to know each other, and these two seem to need to learn how to work together.'' Lord Death explained.
"Wait. Hold up. Mister and weapon?" Soul asked, slightly displeased.
"Did you not listen? Liz and Patty are Kidd's weapons and Tsubaki is Blackstar's. That leaves you and me." Maka said as if it were as plain as day, which annoyed Soul.
"Well, I guess it's up to Maka and Soul then." Lord Death said. Maka and soul exchanged a glance as they pondered this. It didn't take long to reach a conclusion.
"It's better than living with Mother."
"Anythings better than living with Spirit.''
The teens said in unison. Maka looked at Soul in surprise, and he did the same back to her. The two of them got up to leave, and Maka had to deal with Spirit clinging to her leg.
"Don't go Maka! You Papa loves you!" He wailed, and Soul stopped walking to watch the spectacle. Maka glared at her father with such intensity that her gaze could have melted metal.
"MAKA CHOP!'' She screeched and slammed a think dictionary on top of Spirit's head. He let go of his daughter's leg and curled into a ball to weep, clutching his head.
Maka marched out of that room with her head held high and her back straight, with Soul following her out. Just as they made it to their classroom the bell rang signaling that class was going to start in one minuet. Maka hurriedly walked over to Tsubaki and set her things down. She turned around to see that Soul had followed her and set his stuff next to hers.
"What?" She asked him, not sure what he was doing.
"We are partners right? So we got to stick together weather we like it or not.." He said in a slightly annoyed voice.
"That doesn't mean you have to sit next to us. You may be apart of the gang now but your not my friend. Go sit by Blackstar, or better yet go sit by your girlfriend, Blair. She is all the way on the other side of the classroom.'' Maka said as she sat down.
"Naah, I want to sit here." Soul told her nonchalantly as he leaned back in his chair.
"And why is that?'' Liz said from her seat behind Maka. The entire group turned to look at him, all of them wanting to know his answer.
"Well that's simple," He said, flashing his sharp tooth smile. "because it bugs Maka."
