At the end of the school day, Soul opened his locker and groaned as a massive amount of partner requests fell out. He looked at Maka, his actual partner and sighed "I might be late getting home tonight, I need to buy something" he told her. "What do you need to buy?" She asked. "A paper shredder so I can just tear these damn requests to pieces" He replied. Turning to some girls who were about to give him more requests, he added "Maka is my best friend and only meister. We're making me a death scythe to be better then her f &king terrible father" Soul smiled as the girls quickly left. Maka looked at him, unsure of what to say to him. Her cheeks were bright red now. Soul was oblivious to this, as he was checking his wallet. He nodded to her "I'll drive you home at least" The two got on his motorcycle, and he drove home, then automatically drove in the direction of the Home Depot.
A couple hours later, Soul returned. His meister was watching a movie, while reading a book and pointing out all the things that the movie did wrong. "Uh Maka, you do know that the book came AFTER the movie, right?" He asked. Maka paused, then spoke "Damnit..."
Soul let out a laugh. "Boy...you're adorable sometimes." She went dark crimson in the face "S-shut up!" She stuttered. Soul smiled at her and pecked her cheek before he exited their house. She went into his room to clean it up, and found a letter, dated a couple months before.
Dear Soul,
How has life been going since you left us? I'm sure that Maka bi ch has left you or broken your heart. Your father and I have arranged for you to be married to someone with some musical talent, so we want you to return right now.
With love,
Your mother.
Maka sighed and tossed the letter out of her hand. She ran out of his room and into hers. She sat on her bed, petting Blair.
Later, Soul returned. The tv was turned on. Maka exited her room and sat next to him. "This just in, a huge storm appears to be heading toward Death city!" The reporter stated.
