Maka jumped out of the way as a spell was casted at her just then. She was on a mission with soul and sad to say, her own dad. She had finally made soul a death scythe and this was their first mission out with soul being one. But dad just had to come along. " it's a father's duty to make sher that his little angel is nice and safe" was his excuse. Lord death tried to stop him saying that it was their turn and that they should do it. But of course he didn't listen.

" Maka, behind you" soul shouted as another spell was cast.

maka jumped, them made her own attack at the which. And with one final swing of soul, the which was gone. She turned she head to see if her 'father' was done with his which. He was dodging and running and attacking. But this which was far greater than the which they were just fighting a second ago.

"hey soul, do you think he needs help? I mean he dose not have a mister right now so it is harder, right?"

"don't know maka. He is doing well so far, so we could just leave it to him and go back to our hotel room." he turned back in to a human. He had gotten a even better body over the years. She started to star. He smirked. 'hu? Why if she looking at me like that' he thought then it clicked. " hey Maka, why you staring? Do you like me? Hehe like I would ever go out with a fla-" he was cut off by a big hard cover book.

"MAKA CHOP!"

"What The... " he yelled at her. He was on the floor from that on. He looked up to see her blushing. 'aww, she is so cute when she's blushing. I wonder if I kissed her if it would make her blush even more. She if so cute. O how I lov-' he then caught himself. 'No he did not love he. And even if he did he would never even think it. She was his partner. The one he cared for more than any one or thing, she was his best friend not really black star. He just really wanted to make sher she is ok, and to be around her all the time, and live with forever, and hold, and cherish, and lo-.' he just then noticed he was staring at her.

"so are we just going to sit here." she said turning around lightly. "we should help him at leased" she grabbed his hand to help him up. He terned in to a scythe. She caught him quickly and ran to help her dad.

Soon she was dodging and running with her dad.

"doggy bones, dog hair" the which said. It went silent.

Cling. Pat. Spirit fell to the floor. Blood went every where. Maka couldn't believe tho she sow, her own dad dead. She ran over to his dead body. Tears that she never now she could have for her father started splashing in to his pools of blood. She couldn't breather for yells were stuck in her throat.

"no, no. wake up papa." she started saying things she only even said when she was a little kid. " wake up. Please wake up." now she couldn't see for tears filled her nice green eyes. She felt arms rap around her and hold he close. She looked up already knowing who it was just by the feel and smell. It was soul. He even had tears in his eyes.

" I know Maka." he said in a chocked voice. He was fighting back tears. "we have a fight to fight. For spirit now. ok." he was trying to get her up so that she would not be next to die here.

Maka stopped crying and got up. Soul noticed some thing he had only seen a few times in his life in her beautiful green eyes. There was bitter hate, and a wish to kill in them. He never know that Maka of all people would care if spirit was dead. But even he was trying not to cry. 'Spirit really did care for maka. And they were getting along better.' he thought. He grabbed her hand and turned into a scythe for her .

"hey Maka, you ready to kill this little peace of shit?" soul asked

"ya. Let's go soul!" she started running at the which. She punch the which just for fun.

"Maka, left!" soul shouted. But she was too slow. She crashed in to a rock. "Maka you ok?" he was now scared that she mite get hurt. This was not somewhere he wanted her to be, and with out backup.

"ya. I'm fine soul. I just want to kill this thing and go home."

"me too, Maka." he said " hey maka. On your right." this time she moved faster and was able to attack this time. She swung soul around and hit her with the tip of the blade with as much force as she could. The witch was bleeding. But "what the hell? She is healing, and still standing. That should have put her to the floor!" soul yelled.

"i don't know Soul. It's like the black blood but it is still red and not hardening. It like her skin can heal it's self." maka said.

" o so you can tell that i'm not a normal which them." the witch's voice snarled. "you see I eat soul too. And you are going to be quit yummy."

Maka attacked some more. But the same thing happened. Maka was mad now. She swung and hit her over and over. And she was getting knocked down just as much.

"hey maka you ok. Get up. We can beat her."

"i know soul" she said feeling strength rise in her.

"soul resonance!" the yell together. When maka yelled " witch hunter" and cut the witch in half. That did it. Then maka fell to the floor. She was bleeding a little.

"hey maka you alright" he grabbed and picked her up. Her soft skin was so smooth and dirty. She moaned a little.

"ya just a little tired..." she droned off and just like that she was asleep in soul's strong, worm, caring arms. Soul side and walked to their room.

One he got there he put maka on he bed and got a cloth to clean her up a little before they had to get on a that plain tomorrow night. That gave them a little time to sleep in for it was well past 2 am when they killed the witches. He watched maka's chest rise then fall in a nice steady beat as he pressed the wet cloth to her cuts and did his best to wash away some dirt. 'she is really cute when she is sleeping. And her worm soft skin feels so nice. O how I love her' he thought to him self not thinking of the love part.

After he was done cleaning her up he got ready for be himself and he took a nice bath to clean himself off. He then got dressed and went to sleep

He suddenly awoke because of sheets ruffling and a wrong body next to him. He turned around to find maka hugging him. " hey maka, is every thing ok. And why are you in my bed?" he said softly and she buried her head in his chest that just so happened to have no shirt at the moment. Then he noticed that she was crying. He hated when she cried. "o. come on. Did I do something I'm sorry. I'm here. Please don't cry." he held her tight.

"sorry, didn't mean to wake you. It's just he's gone." she looked up "The one boy that has loved me for as long as he know me and never stopped. And I was always so mean to him. He was my father even if I don't like it, it wont change the fact that he is." she hugged him tighter.

"no, your wrong. He is not the only one. I love you too maka. And don't think you were a dad daughter because there is no such things I think. And if there are you aren't one of them. He still cared for you and if you were dad he would not have cared. ok. Now every thing is ok. Lets just go to sleep. Ok?" soul said.

" ok, but can I still sleep with you." she asked

at that soul laughed out loud. "of course you can!" soul hugged maka close and kissed her forehead.

Maka smiled. "I love you soul."

"I love you too maka" soul smirked.

The next morning maka found her self curled up in soul's arms. And soul would not let go till he woke up too. "good morning, Maka." he said. "you feeling any better?"

"ya, soul." she said still really down. "but we should get ready to go home. Our plain leaves at 8 and it it 5:30 right now. We really slept in."

"ok maka. Why don't you go take a bath wile I star to pack my stuff?" soul stared to grab his stuff from around the room. And pulled out a change of close.

"ok" she kissed soul's nose then turned and went in to the bathroom. She turned the nob and put her hand under the water to check how hot it was. She turned the water off and took of her close. She sat in the water and thought. ' why did he tell me he loved me last night? Was it just that he felt like he should with out meaning it, or did he just want me to know that he really dose love me and he was too shy or stupid to tell any one?' she thought more. 'why did he call me flat chest it he liked me? I need to look this up in a book. And what are we now. Are we still just friends or is he now my boyfriend too.' she clutched her head trying to think.

After the bath she got out rapped a towel around herself and put her hair in to pig tales like she always dose. She slipped out of the bathroom to let soul in. she sat on her bed and grabbed her close. Then she put away her stuff and waited for soul to get out of the shower.

Soul stepped out of the bathroom all dressed. He noticed that maka was reading her book. She was seated on the bed into her book. 'o, how cute she is when she is reading, I wonder if there is a new way I can get her to stop reading that wont get me a maka chop' soul decides to try this. He walked up the the bed and sat behind her, then he grabbed her from behind and kissed her neck.

"maka, we have to go soon." he kissed her cheek and turned her head. She let him.

"i know. I was waiting for you." she turned around so she could face him. And she found her self with soul's lops pressed on hers. Soul put his hands on her waist to hold her closer. She rapped her arms around his neck. The soft, wanting lips that were soul's was all she could think of at that moment. It felt like something she could only get from a book. This feeling she loved. But she was nerves all the same. She never had a kiss on the lips before soul. She read books about this yet she never really learned how to kiss from a book. She pushed a little on soul's lips. He smirked before deepening the kiss. He nibbled on her lips. She gassed and he deepened it more. He moved his tongue in to her mouth. He let his tongue move around her mouth and dance with her soft wet tongue.

Maka polled away. "hey soul, I think it is time to go. Or we will be late and miss our flight back to death city.

Soul moved back. "ok, I call a cab to drive us to the airport."

soon they were in the plain flying bake to death city. Soul was asleep and maka read her book. She turned her head to see soul. She turned back to her book and moved around a bit. ' boy these seats aren't very comfortable.' she thought before leaning on soul. Soul opened one eye.

"you ok," he asked.

"ya, it's just these seats aren't the best." she said.

"ok."

"hey soul, what are we now?" she marked her page and looked at soul. " I mean you said you loved me, and I love you too so, douse that make you my boyfriend now" she was kinda inberest. She really did not know.

Soul turned his head some more. " are you really asking me this. We can be boyfriend and girlfriend if you want too. It's really up to you." he smirked. " but if I were to choose I would say ' yes we are' because I really like you but I am ok if you aren't ready yet"

" then, ok we are." maka said with pride. She leaned on him more and he hugged her. " so what are we going to tell our friends. Do you think they will figure it out for themselves? Or will it take them 5 years to see it."

"i don't know. The girls will, but the boys won't is my guess. Black star only cares about himself so he mite notice if we ditch him to go on a dates. So should we just tell them when we get home?"

"no, lets give them three day and see if they can catch on." maka smiled. This was going to be a fun three days. And the girls will notice right when they see them together. Hopefully they wont shout it out and let the boys know right away. Soon maka fell asleep on soul as soul held her.

Once the plain landed soul and maka gathered their stuff and left to go home. Once they got home soul took a key and unlocked the door.

"surprise!" yelled they friends. With a big sine that read "welcome home soul & maka"
