Maka Alburn and Soul "Eater" Evens were on their way back to the DMWA. Usully the two are talking about what they did and just other random converstaion; like what they were gonna eat for dinner, a new book Maka read, where Maka hides her books so that she can just dish out a Maka Chop at any given moment, and so on and so forth. Today though, they had barely said a single word to each other since their return to Death City.

Kid had sent the two to stop a gang of kishin egg souls from killing off every human in France. Turns out the gang were just a bunch of puppets being controlled by a very artistic witch. She had gone mad and used other withes in her work so she was exiled.

Soul's thoughts: Maka's been really quiet lately. She won't even look at me. I even purposely said something that would tick her off and lifted her skirt but she didn't lift a finger for the usual Maka Chop.

Soul closed his eyes, putting his hands behind his head letting out a small sigh. He was so busy thinking anout what ws wrong with his partner, that he didn't notice that Maka was no longer beside him.

Maka's thoughts: Well I'll have to tell Soul eventually. If he tells Soul that would make this situation a lot harder to deal with.

Maybe this is for the best anyway. We're almost never together with Soul's missions and then on top of that Kid always wants Soul to practice controlling the black blood with Crona.

Hmph. Alright Maka pull yourself to together. You're going to tell Soul right now. It's been long enough!

Finally with her little gathered her courage, Maka called out to Soul.

"Soul I…I need to…to tell you something". Maka mentally slaps herself for her voice sounding weak. She clears her throat and tries again.

"Soul I need to talk to you" Soul turns around at the sound of her voice. She can clearly see the worry for her in his red eyes. She goes weak again and tears she didn't know she had begun making a lump in her throat. She started to shake slightly as tears started welling in her eyes. Quickly she put her head down hoping that her partner didn't see.

Soul however did see and his concern grew stronger.

"Maka? What's wrong? You've been acting weird since we got back and not even then now that I think about it" Soul asks. He does his best to hide his worry but doesn't do a very good job at it.

"Soul I…I…I..." Maka started. There is a moment of silence as Maka tries to gather herself.

Taking a deep breath Maka looks up and finally blurts out her news.

"Soul we can't be partners anymore." Though her words are rushed, they are very clear.

Soul's thoughts: Wh-what did she just say. No I must 'ave miss heard her. I had to have miss heard her! This must be some stupid joke Black*Star put her up to since I beat him basketball last week.

"Maka what did you just say?" Soul asks trying to shake off what he heard as if he didn't.

Maka lowers her head and answers. "I said I can't be your partner anymore. From now on I'm not your miester".

A pained look sets in Soul's eyes at the seriousness of her words. He then starts laughing, a more nervous chuckle than a laugh though.

"You're kidding me, right? This is just some stupid joke Patty or Black*Star put you up to? 'cause if it is, it's not funny." He is answered only by Maka's silence. Soul stops laughing and straightens up, becoming serious.

"But why? Maka what the hell is going on?!" Maka winces at Soul's yelled voice. Seeing her, Soul calms himself so he doesn't yell again. More calmly Soul asks, "Maka what do mean you're not my meister? Why are you saying this?" His voice sounded as if he would begin crying himself.


"Aww little brother don't sound so upset". Soul turns to the familiar voice behind him. His older brother, Wes Evens, appears behind him.

He has on a soft, light blue plaid collared shirt and simply khaki pants that reach to his all white shoes with black bottoms.

"Wes? What are you doing here?" Had Soul not already be as confused and upset by Maka's words as he was, he would've sounded like a complete air headed jerk to anyone else.

"You mean little Maky-chan here didn't tell you?" Wes asked slightly perplexed as he walked to Maka's side.

"Tell me what?" Soul asked venom creeping into his voice as he followed Wes's every movement.

Wes pretenended not to hear and took Maka's chin his hand, turning her to him; lifting her face to his. He then loosely wrapped his other arm around Maka's waist and leaned down kissing Maka on her lips. His tongue explore her mouth for a moment causing Maka to let out a little groan. Standing up again, he released Maka but still kept his arm around her waist.

Wes gazed at Soul with a lazy triumphant smile spreading across his face. "Maky-chan is my new partner."
