Here's chapter one guys! Bare with me. This is the first fan fic I have ever posted online. Please rate and review!

I DO NOT own Soul Eater or any of its characters.! ENJOY!

Six months after beating Asura...

Maka's point of view.

I was awoken abruptly by the buzzing of my cell phone on the table.

"Hello"? I answered.

"Maka!? Where are you? We're supposed to meet with Lord Death! Did you forget?" came my partner Soul's voice from the other end.

"Sorry Soul I fell asleep, im at the library, meet me here?" I asked.

"Yea ill be right there", he said before ending the call.

I stretched and yawned and wiped the drool off of my face and books in front of me. I better put these books away before Soul sees them..

A few weeks prior...

Soul says Ive been acting weird lately, whats that about anyways? Im not acting weird! I just have all these feelings that I dont understand and I dont know how to tell him. Me and Soul are perfect partners, thats why our souls resonate so well together, he doesnt know how to talk about his feelings or himself either. Thats why he played the piano for me, that dark mysterious song that for some reason i knew exactly what he was trying to tell me, even though i know nothing about music like he does...

"Thats it!" I screamed out loud.

Ill play a song for Soul! Time to go to the library and do some research.

"Hey Soul" I said as Soul pulled up to the library on his motorbike.

"Get on" he ordered. "Why were you at the library for so long anyways?"

"I was doing some research and accidentally fell asleep", I answered to Soul.

"Research on what?" he asked me as we sped off and I grabbed him around the waist tighter.

"Oh nothing youd be interested in", I blushed, glad that he couldnt see my face right now.

I took in all the sights and smells as we sped down the road headed to Kid's house with the wind blowing my hair all over the place. Truth is, id never admit this to Soul but I had actually grown quite fond of riding the motorbike. It didnt scare me anymore. If anything it made me excited because it gave me an excuse to hold Soul tight.

We arrived at Kid's house just on time. Stein, Kid, Papa, and Marie were already there chatting in the front yard.

"Hi guys!" Marie san exclaimed.

"Hi Ms. Marie san! How are you? Hows the baby doing?" I asked as I felt her now rather large tummy.

"Healthy as a horse, getting bigger everyday. Stein has been talking to him every night, its really the cutest thing ive ever seen and the baby seems to enjoy it" Marie beamed.

"Alright Maka, are you and Soul ready? Today you will again be fighting Stein and Spirit. Youll continue to do so until you two properly defeat him." Kid explains.

"Right" I answered, "Lets go Soul!"

"Right" Soul answered as he turned into his death sycthe form.

I gripped him tight and twirled him around in the air before turning to face Stein and Papa who was turning into his death sycthe form as well.

"Are you ready Soul?" I asked in determination. This is it, this is the day we finally beat Stein and Papa, then I can finally become a three star meister. The youngest ever, and Soul will finally be lord deaths personal weapon instead of Papa. I've worked for this with Soul since the beginning. My goal has always been to make Soul the strongest death sycthe. Even stronger than mama had made papa.

As I was thinking all of this, I suddenly realized that my hands were on fire, my hands were burning.

"AAAGGHHH!" I screamed in pain as i threw Soul on the ground, apologizing right afterwards for not meaning to throw him.

"Maka whats wrong?! Are you okay?" Soul asked me as he returned to his human form, coming to my side immediately.

"Their souls aren't in sync with each other" Stein stated.

Everyones attention turned to Stein as he stated this.

"What the hell ya mean Stein? This isn't cool!" Soul said in a very agitated tone.

"What happened?" Kid asked.

"What did you do Eater?! Did you hurt my little Maka?!" Spirit exclaimed pointing a finger at Soul as he was half weapon, half human again.

"I didn't do shit", Soul stated in a tone i could not understand, and i could usually always tell what Soul was feeling. I didn't have a clue this time and that scared me.

"Did you guys get in an argument before you got here?" Marie asked concerned.

"N-no", I stated as my voice trembled, "this is all my fault".

It was true, it was my fault. I couldn't bring my head up to look at any of them, especially Soul. This was all my fault because of the way i felt about him and now look where it got me. I couldn't even resonate souls with Soul.

"I have to go", I stated as I stood up on wobbly legs. I turned to walk away as Soul yelled out to me.

"Where the hell are you going Maka? We need to talk about this!"

"Just leave me alone Soul", I responded to him in the coldest voice.

"Shit shit shit shit shit!" I say to myself as I kick a empty soda can on the ground.

What in the heck am I supposed to do?! I cant even use my own weapon now. I didn't ask to have these feelings, its not like i wanted to feel this way. I promised Soul that I would make him the strongest death sycthe out there and now I cant even match souls with him. He probably hates me now.

"Dammit!", I screamed as the tears started falling down my face and I punched the brick wall as hard as I could. "OUCH!" I yelled as I hear some sort of vehicle coming down the alley.

"Are you trying to break your hand stupid? Where are you going?!" roared Soul as he caught up to me.

"Leave me the hell alone Soul", I said with my head down trying to stop the tears before he saw them. "Just go away!"

Soul turned off his motorbike, got off of it and knelt down next to me. Just then I felt his index finger touch my cheek as he wiped a tear away. I was busted and could only imagine what he'd say next to make fun of me for being "uncool" and crying like a baby.

Just then he stood back up and held out his hand, surprising me.

"Lets go home", he said in a cool and collected manner as he took my hand to help me up.

I climbed on his motorbike behind him, grabbed him around the waist and squeezed as hard as I could.

"Im sorry Soul", I whispered as I buried my face in his back, tears falling freshly again as he sped away towards our apartment.

"Hey Maka chan, what are you reading?" Marie asked, startling me and making me jump from my seat while trying to shove all my books into my bag, embarrassed of Marie seeing what I was up to.

"O-Oh nothing" I said with a quaky voice. "What about yourself? What brings you to the library?"

"Oh you know, just checking out some baby books. We are getting so close to our due date and to be honest, Im starting to get really nervous. Hahaha..." Marie stated while rubbing the side of her head.

"I hate to ask but are you and Soul doing any...uh...better?" she asked me, clearly feeling uncomfortable which was fine because now i was getting uncomfortable.

"Everything's fine", I said with a fake smile.

Truth was things weren't fine. It had been a week since everyone saw for themselves that me and Soul couldn't match wavelengths and it had also been a week since Soul had even really talked to me. He never brought up that night, never asked why I was crying, nor asked if I wanted to try matching souls again. I couldn't figure out if this was a good or bad thing. Then again I had made no initiative myself to talk to him about anything. I just continued reading my books on the piano and music and was even sneaking into the music room late at night to practice. I had to get my song perfect before I showed Soul. Plus I had to find my courage as well. The kishin Asura was starting to look much more appealing than telling Soul that I love him.

"Well if you need any help or advice or wanna talk Maka, Im more than happy to help in any way that I can", Marie stated with a warming smile.

I think she had an idea with what was up with me lately.

"Finally decided to come home did you?" Soul stated the second I walked in the door, startling me because I was trying to be quiet and avoid waking him. Little did I think he would be awake, waiting for me on the couch.

"It's nearly midnight Maka, what has been going on with you?" he asked me with a scowl on his face, running his hand through his snow white hair in frustration.

"Hhhhuhh"", I sighed while pinching the bridge of my nose, closing my eyes, and taking a deep breath. This was it, it was now or never.

"Come with me, I need to show you something" I said to Soul as I held out my hand for him.

"Okay...but where are you taking me Maka?" he asked, very confused.

"Shut up and just come with me, we aren't going far."

We walked in silence through Death City which I was thankful for so I could collect my thoughts and focus on trying to breathe properly. Death City was so peaceful and quiet at this time of night.

"What are you gripping so tightly?" Soul asked, breaking my thoughts and bringing me back to reality. I gripped my music even more tightly into my chest as he asked that.

"You'll see Soul" I stated, "we're here."

Soul looked up in front of him and saw that we were at our school. I had to pay close attention to Soul's reactions from here on out.

"The school?" he asked confused while scratching his head. "But its not open right now, we cant get in. We aren't here for some uncool late night study session are we?"

"No Soul, thats not why we are here, and I have a key to get in, just be quiet okay?" I told him sternly.

"Who'd you steal the keys from? Is this where you've been coming all the time these past couple of weeks?" he asked me.

I blushed, "I took them from Stein. Lets go!"

I stopped dead in my tracks in front of the music room, causing Soul to run right into me.

"The hell Maka, warn me next time you just randomly stop!" Soul snarled at me in a whisper.

"Are you okay? You look like you've just seen a ghost, and why did you stop at the music room?" he asked me obviously lost.

"This is where we are g-g-going" I stated but my voice broke at the end.

Breathe Maka! You can do this, you and Soul need this. He deserves to know. If he leaves you as his meister and doesn't feel the same way, at least you can say that you were brave enough to try. My pep talk inside my brain wasn't going so well but i had to move forward or I was forever going to be stuck here, unable to match wavelengths with Soul.

I lifted a shaking hand and opened the door, keeping my eyes on Soul the whole time, not knowing how he would respond to seeing the piano.

"Why are we here? Im not playing that bloody thing so your on something if you think I am!" he exclaimed, seeming rather scared himself.

"I know you aren't Soul. All you have to do is listen and try to understand, okay?"

"O-okay...?" Soul placed his hands in his pockets of his jacket.

I walked pass him, stopping just short of the piano, admiring it. I had really grown to love this piano in just a short amount of time.

I walked the few steps left to the piano, placing a hand along the cover over the keys running my fingers down the whole length of it. I then sat down on the bench in front of the piano and placed my sheet music on the easel and opened it to the beginning of my song I had written for Soul.

"Just close your eyes and try to understand, okay Soul?" I didn't make eye contact with him as I asked this of him.

"Mmmhh," he nodded as he walked up next to the piano, leaned against it, facing away from me and crossing his arms.

I opened the cover, exposing the keys. "Here goes nothing" I whispered as I hit the first key. So far so good, my playing was decent and I hadn't messed up once but Soul was not looking in my direction at all so I had no idea what he was thinking. This wasn't the time for worries though, I had to focus on the music the was enveloping the whole room. I closed my eyes and continued to play perfectly, this was such a beautiful song. I opened my eyes just then to see Soul headed towards me. He sat down next to me, pulled my sheet music closer to himself and started playing with me, hitting every key perfectly. I had no idea how much better my song could sound with two people playing it. This was good, I felt both of our souls wavelengths.

Tears started falling down my face when the song neared the end. "I am head over heels in love with Soul", I thought to myself.

"Maka" Soul whispered as he wiped away a tear falling down my cheek.

I blushed as I felt his thumb brush my face.

"So, what did you think?" I asked with a smile as I forced myself to look at his face, seeing if I could find any hint of what he was thinking.

"Since when did Maka the bookworm, become Maka the music master?" Soul asked in a serious yet playing tone.

"Ive never heard that song before, who's it by?" he asked next.

I blushed more, my entire face feeling as though it was on fire as I answered him, "Its by me."

Soul's mouth fell open. "W-w-what?! You wrote this Maka?!" he asked, very excited. "So this is where you've been. You learned that in just a couple weeks time? Thats incredible Maka! Super cool."

"Thanks" I answered as i looked down into my lap and grabbed my knees with my hands, gripping tightly.

Here is goes...

"I wrote this song for you Soul. Im just like you; I don't know how to express myself either so I thought the best way to communicate with you was through music because I know how much passion you have for it."

"You wrote this for me?" Soul repeated my statement.

"Yes, this song is how I feel about you." I answered, the fear in my voice becoming evident.

"B-but that was a love song! Right?!" he answered, clear shock on his face.

I jumped up, startling him and yelled, "I know that Soul! Everything is my fault! The fact I haven't been able to use you as my weapon! Its all because of my feelings for you! IM IN LOVE WITH YOU SOUL! Trust me, I've been trying to fight off these feelings for along time now and I cant, I just cant. Im sorry Soul... Ive screwed everything up by being a lame girl."

I was mad and upset, out of breath and crying. I did it. I finally grew a pair and told Soul the truth. My legs were shaking terribly and gave out and I hit the floor, on my knees with my head facing the ground.

"Lets go home" Soul said as he reached down for my hand.

I took his hand in mine and we walked back to our apartment in the cool, dark, quiet night in silence.
