A/N: This is my first fanfic, I was able to post it here finally! Please be kind :)

I do not own Soul Eater. If I did, hmmm :)

"Maka!"

Soul called out to his technician. For the nth time, the kishin attacked and sent them flying from the top of the roof where they were standing. She stumbled before falling on the ground. Maka leaned on a wall while catching her breath, trying to stand again after the attack holding her weapon tightly in her right hand.

He looked at her through his form. The way she breathed, chest slowly rising up and down, she looked like she will pass out any minute now. She was exhausted. Scratches and bruises all over her body, portion of her clothes torn apart, and her hair was a mess.

They've been fighting this kishin for a while now. It was able to dodge their previous attacks, moved so quickly that Maka was having a hard time giving the enemy a fatal blow. And they were the one receiving its blows.

"Maka, are you alright?" He knew she's not. He was not alright, seeing her like this.

"Yes." She answered and stood up, took a deep breath. "Let's get this kinshin, Soul." And tightened her grip on her deathscythe.

He knew she was determined to kill this kishin. But he felt that she's in doubt, her uneasiness, her thoughts..her crazy and jumbled thoughts.

While they were fighting the kishin earlier, they thought that it was an easy battle monster. They were able to hit it a few times, and when they thought it would turn to a red orb, it suddenly changed into something else. It transformed to a bigger kishin, with long arms – like it evolved. In that moment, he felt that they were facing a different kishin, a stronger one.

Ofcourse, Maka decided to continue to fight because it is their mission. And now, here they are, in an abandoned part in Death City when the sun is slowly setting down.

Soul glanced at the kishin. It is standing a few feet above them, licking its long nails maniacally.

"Maka, that demon is strong. Shield yourself from its attack. Don't accept the attacks head on."

She did not answer. Just looked intently at the enemy.

"Maka, use me to protect yourself. I can take the blows." He continued. "Maka, hey, are you listening?"

She nodded and wiped the sweat in her forehead using her arm.

Maka started to run to where the kinshin is, but before she even reached it, it dashed to her so quickly there was no time to avoid it. It grabbed her by her arm. The other hand snatched her scythe and threw it in the air - as if it was nothing - to Lord Death knows where.

"Soul!" Maka called and tried to free herself from its grasps. The kinshin laughed and jumped taking her along with it. She was shocked when wings spread and it flew, swinging her little body up in the air.

She kept on struggling. It would be fatal if she'd fall, but she cannot have the kinshin hold her like this. It's arms were getting tighter and it's getting hard to breathe. She was also thinking about Soul. "He might be angry now that I dropped him."

After passing a tree, the demon landed on the ground while it continued to laugh. And honestly, its getting on her nerves.

"Will you stop?" She snapped.

The kinshin looked at her and stopped laughing. Then, in a blink of an eye, it smashed her to the wall so hard it broke the concrete stone along with her. She swore she heard her bones cracked and her visions became black for split seconds. She coughed, and blood came from her mouth. She felt dizzy.

She tried to stand but failed. She slowly looked at her left leg, and saw that there are rubles trapping her foot. And before she can move again, the kinshin grabbed her, but this time, by her neck and pushed her forcefully to the ground.

It felt like her ribs has broken now, her skull might have a crack as well with that impact. She felt the bricks beneath her, and dammit, they hurt! Her whole body was screaming in pain. She cannot move, she hardly breathed, and the kinshin kept on pushing her hardly into the ground.

She tried to catch her breathe, her consciousness might leave her any second now. "I don't like this..I, I will fail our mission..I don't like this...at all.." She weakly hold the arms that were holding her and attempted to let herself go. But it was futile. She does not have the strength anymore. Her body is numb, her vision is blurry. But, she still found her voice. She will not let this kinshin to let loose. "I," breathe, "will take", breathe, "your soul.." And she looked at the demon showing her determination.

The kinshin smiled wickedly and pulled out something from behind. The moonlight reflected on the thing and it shone slowly onto her. It was a long blade, like a saw, but longer and has chains on it. And to her horror, the kinshin spoke. "See you in hell kid."

A loud agonizing cry echoed through the cold night.
