okay first off, I don't really like soul eater, but my sis showed it to me. there was way too much comedy for my taste so I made my own version of soul eater. hope you like it!

...

It was a night like any other; light beamed from the smiling moon, a slight breeze whispered in my ear, and the shadows seemed to curl towards us. Well, that's a normal night for me. I'm guessing you would think I'm those type of teens that party all night and pass out drunk. Unfortunately, that's way off. Actually, I like it like that. Instead of wasting time at home, I'm saving people's lives. I'm not a superhero; not those stereotype heroes that fly and rescue maidens. I'm doing the saving. My name is Maka Albarn and I'm a Meister.

I leaned against the wall of a building and hid behind its shadow. I couldn't actually see in the dark, but I could feel the presence of something when it becomes close. I have this feeling in my gut that forces me to act in the sign of danger. It's a gift I inherited from my mother. I was always lucky to have her. She was an ideal model of determination and strength, but she was so caring. But that was until she left. My dad and mom divorced and now she's who knows where. She sends a postcard from time to time, but that will never fill in the gap of my family. I now live with my dad who's a weapon. He could be cool at times, but he's overprotectiveness over me. It must have been because of my mother. I guess he didn't want to lose another one.

So my job is to kill Kishin eggs. You see, I attend DWMA which trains you to fight Kishin eggs. It's like school, but more training than learning. Every night, I walk around the city, watching for Kishin eggs. They are monsters that prey on the souls of humans. Let's put it this way; every time I kill one of these beasts, about hundred people I save. That's everyday of my life. I waited for suspicion to find me. That's why I am in this creepy, dark alley.

It was quiet. Too quiet.

That's when I saw it; a long, creature in the distance. It's bright red eyes gleamed in the moonlight and it's smile cringed all the way to its eyes. It's nose lengthened like a carrot and his fangs seemed to gleam as he sniffed the air. It was looking for it's next victim. I held my breath. My hands curled my fists as I steadied my breathing. I bent my knees and wiped my hair away from my face. I was always known for my strength. My specialty are my punches so I knew this Kishin egg was going to need a nose job in hell.

That's when I had the feeling. There's no way it was behind me. How did it get there that fast? I tightened my grip as I spun around. My arms unconsciously pulled back, ready to punch. Then, my arms gained speed as it reached for the Kishin's face. Before it could reach contact, a force stopped my fists from its track. The boy smiled as he held my fist.

"Woah, no need to be violent. I'm here." The boy smiled with sharp, pointed teeth. He had bright, white hair that shined in the dark. His red eyes stood out the most other than his dark clothing that blended in with the night. This was none other than my partner, Soul Eater. In DWMA, students are classified in two groups: Meisters and Weapons. Weapons can transform so Meisters can wield them. They make a team to hunt Kishin eggs. Once a Kishin egg is defeated, the Weapon eats the Kishin egg's soul to gain power. When they reach to 99 souls, they need to devour a witch soul. By doing this, they will transform into the ultimate weapon. I glared at him as I tried to push him away.

"Stop sneaking up on me! You know I will attack you!"

"Well, I'm just going to have to defend myself, aren't I?" He chuckled and released my hand.

"Where have you been all this time? I've been waiting. You were supposed to be here 15 minutes ago!"

"Sorry, had stuff to do."

"Like what?"

"Things..."

"Anyway, you should have come earlier. We could have ambushed the Kishin egg."

"What Kishin egg? I don't see it."

"It's right there!" I then turned my head and realized why he had such confusion on his face.

"But I just saw it! Where'd it go?"

"I'm right here." Soul and I jumped as the monster came from hiding. We looked at each other and watched the Kishin egg make its move.

"I'm Jack the Ripper!" It screeched. "And I'm hungry."It then lunged at us as if we were his last supper. Soul nodded to me as he changed into a gigantic red and black death scythe. The metal seemed to shine as his reflection appeared. I gripped the handle tightly.

"Ready, Maka?" Soul yelled.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I swung him with all my strength at the Kishin egg as it tried to dodge. Of course, it dodged to the right like I predicted so I kicked it back with my leg. The creature was on its feet by then, but I clearly shakened it up. It then kept its distance from me. I waited.

"What are you waiting for?" asked Soul in a whisper. "Attack!"

"Wait, he's planning something. He's not like the others. He's smart."

"What do you mean?"

"Most Kishin eggs would attack straightforward without hesitation. That's why it makes them easier to kill. But this one...he's just waiting there. He's thinking."

"Maka, Kishin eggs are Kishin eggs. There's no difference in them."

"But Soul, they used to be human. When you become a Kishin egg, all you feel is lust and hunger."

"Yeah, so?"

"Well, what I'm saying is-"

"I don't care, let's just go!" Suddenly, the death scythe sweeped me off my feet as I was dragged toward the Kishin egg. Even though we were charging at full speed towards him, it smiled and waited. Something was wrong.

"Wait! Soul stop!" But I was too late. As soon as we were within its distance, it grabbed me by my arm and swung me against the wall. The impact would've cracked my head if it wasn't for my defensive instincts. I got up in a daze and scanned the area for Soul. He was at least 4 feet away. I must have lost my grip when I was thrown. Jack the Ripper had already realized I was lost without my weapon and smiled its ghastly smile. It then charged at me with amazing speed. I ran with no hesitation and as it tried to attack, I cartwheeled a whole 180 degrees and then rolled towards my partner. I used my hand to stop and swiped Soul off the ground as if he was standing in lava.

"Hey, are you all right?" Soul asked. "You took quite a hit there."

"I'm fine. I've felt harder."

"You sure were right. This one is different. He actually uses his head."

"Well, we're just going to have to outsmart him."

"How?"

"Follow my lead. When I say now, change your body back to your original form except your arm."

"Wait, what?"

"Just do it. I've got a plan."

"This better work." I knew this was a smart remark, but his reflection gleamed a grin.

"Let's do this." I charged and Soul made contact with Jack as he striked his head. It protected its face, but I then kicked him in the stomach. It stumbled, but before it got back on its feet, I threw my partner into the air. He spun like a tornado as he gathered speed. Jack gave me a dull look, but then laughed. I bet he thought that I just threw away my weapon and gave up. Like I'd ever do that. He charged at me once more, falling into my trap.

"Now Soul!" I yelled. "He's open!" Suddenly, a bright light surrounded Soul as he changed back into a human. His arm stayed in its spear-like form as he screamed at the top of his lungs over the Kishin egg. His eyes shined in the moonlight. He landed behind it and swung his arm over Jack's head. It screamed and fell, his body disappearing. His soul appeared, a glowing deep red. Soul took the soul and ate it in one gulp. He then burped and laughed.

"That's a keeper!" he chuckled.

"Well,that's good." I said, ignoring his manners. "We have 99 souls we just need to hunt for a witch soul."

"I already told you. I don't care about being an ultimate weapon. I don't need to be the best. I like being the way I am now."

"But Soul!" I complained. "You need to get stronger! Don't you want what's best for you?"

"Maka, I said no. I don't need any more responsibilities. I know you want to become the best like you're mom, but you're not her. I'm not going to do it, why not you?" He walked away and gazed into the moon.

"If you don't agree with me, you can always look for another partner." He then disappeared into the light as I stood in the darkness. I hate his laid back attitude. Why doesn't he want to become the ultimate weapon? Why is he so rebellious about it? Will he ever grow up? I looked up at the smiling moon and imagined Soul somewhere out there also staring.

"Don't worry, Soul. I will make you the ultimate weapon. You won't regret it."
