Me: This is my first Soul Eater story… so if I get anything wrong it's because I haven't seen all the episodes yet. I call it, The Soulless son.

The Phantom of the Shade: Hi! I'm Bubba's OC!

Me: I'm called Bubba… Phantom? Why are you here?

The Phantom of the Shade: Because I love you?

Me: That's a lie you deceiving brat.

The Phantom of the Shade: Don't be mean! I'm only 7!

Me: fine… anyway… I got this idea stuck in my head and I keep having dreams about it.


Chapter 1: The Phantom of the Shade

(No one's P.O.V)

A small boy clad in black was walking through death city. He was in a daze and had no idea where he was going. His loyal shadow puppy was following him. The puppy's name was Squeaks. Squeaks was worried about his master, the boy had not eaten in weeks and hadn't touched water for far too long. The boy was walking towards what he desired, a living soul.

The boy snapped out of his daze and hid. A woman walked past him, oblivious to what was about to happen. The boy bared his sharp teeth; his fanglike teeth glistened in the fading light.

He stepped out in front of the woman and spoke softly, "I-I'm lost… c-can you h-help m-m-me?" The lie pulled through and the woman knelt beside the child, "Sure sweetie, I'll help you. When was the last time you saw your family?" The child gave an innocent look, "I don't have a family or home."

The woman frowned, "Then how are you lost?" The boy replied, "I don't have what I want, that's why…" He hung his head and sighed. The woman asked, "What do you want?" The boy dragged his foot across the crack in the sidewalk. He mumbled something to quiet to be heard.

She leaned towards him, "What was that sweetheart?" He looked in her eyes, "Do you know about the Phantom of the Shade?" She nodded, "Rumor has it that a demon or spirit of fear roams in the shade, looking for souls." The boy rocked his head and whispered, "I know who the phantom of the shade is…" He trailed off and put a hand in his pocket, grasping what was inside.

She gasped, "You do?! Tell me, we must report him to the DWMA!" The boy shrugged, "Do you really want to know?" The lady nodded excitedly. The boy just sighed, "Are you sure?" The lady nodded again, "Yes I'm sure!" The boy just sighed again, "I shouldn't… but I should…"

The boy pulled a black sword from his pocket. It was blacker than night and resembled a large fang. The boy studied the blade, "I am the Phantom of the Shade…" He sliced the sword and the scream of the woman buried itself into the air. It echoed throughout the whole of Death City.

The boy grabbed the soul and studied it, "Maybe it'll work this time…" He tried to stick the soul through his chest, but the soul wouldn't go through. The boy cried out in rage and sliced the soul perfectly in half. He walked away muttering, "I knew it wouldn't work…"

Squeaks followed his master and gave a small bark. The boy knelt beside the puppy and hugged him, "I love you too Squeaks. You hungry boy? No? Well, you are a shadow." The puppy gave a joyful bark and then tensed. The boy looked around, "I sense it too."

A scythe embedded itself in the ground next to the boy and the boy looked at it, "A weapon? Where is the meister? What is the DWMA?" The boy looked around and spotted the meister. He studied the meister and cocked his head.

The boy dragged his foot across a crack in the sidewalk and grabbed his right wrist. He spoke very softly as the weapon became human again, "Maka and Soul…" The child looked at Maka, "Maka, your soul is perfect. It is calm and intelligent… Maybe it will help me…"

The boy looked her in the eyes and whispered, "Maka… I have black blood…"
