A Crazy Thing Called Love
Maka x Soul Eater AU Story
Chapter 1-
"Papa! Papa! I'm going to school!" I call out. I hear nobody respond and I shake my head as I lock the door behind me. That's nothing new. Papa always does that. He never comes home and when he does, he has another woman in his arms. I hate him. I hate him so much for separating me from mom. I blame him for everything.
"GAH! I can't think about that. I have school today! I must work hard!" I motivate myself as I walk towards school. I manged to convince Papa that moving to Death City was a good idea. Shibusen is one of the elite schools in the country and I wanted to study there. He reluctantly agreed and soon we moved here. I'm ready to start a new life here and make new friends.
"Ahhh...the sweet smell of books and paper." I gaze off into the distance. I start walking towards the steps when something blue rushes past me, causing my pigtails to fall out and cause my long dark blond hair to rustle in the wind.
"What the...?" I see the blue blur stop and in the smoke, I manage to make out a strange looking kid with neon blue hair and a star on his shoulder. He looks around before doing a manly pose and screams:
"I AM THE AWESOME BLACK*STAR! I WILL SURPASS THE GODS! I CAN SEE A MILE AWAY! I CAN SEE WHAT'S IN YOUR BACKPACK! I AM ALL MIGHTY! YA-HOO!"
I look at him like he's crazy. As I walk shaking my head, I bump into someone, knocking myself flat on the ground.
"I'm so sorry." the stranger apologizes as she helps me up from the ground.
"Oh, it's no big deal. I wasn't watching where I was going." I apologize. I look up and see a gorgeous Japanese girl with long black hair tied up in a ponytail. She also has a ninja outfit with a star on her left breast.
"You're new here right?" She asks me.
"Yeah...Maka Albarn. Pleased to meet you" I greet her
"Tsubaki Nakatsukasa. Pleased to meet you as well." She smiles at me. I feel comforted by her smile. We both turn to the crazy kid shouting more stuff about being better than god.
"Uh...do you know him?" I ask her.
"Yes, that's Black*Star, one of my closest friends." She says with a blush. I look over at her shy face and then at him.
"You love him don't you?" I ask bluntly.
"What? Of course not...I...we have been best friends since middle school. Don't be silly Maka, hahaha." She starts giggling nervously. I give her the don't-lie-to-me look. She sighs in defeat.
"Is it that obvious?" She asks quietly.
"I'm good with observing people, but that kid seems like he is oblivious to your feelings. You better tell him soon or someone else will snatch him." I advise her. We watch him approach a group of girls and get rejected with a kick in the balls.
"On second thought...take your time." I smile nervously at her. She smiles at me as Black*Star finally notices us. He runs over and starts examining me.
"Oi! New kid! Let me introduce myself. I am Black*Star. I am one of the top fighters of this school. I plan to surpass god and become all powerful! You will remember me now and forever! Ya-hoo!" He starts bouncing off the wall when Tsubaki grabs him by the collar.
"Let's get to class." She smiles at him. He nods as she puts him down. Black*Star then holds out his hand towards me.
"Black*Star at your service. Any friend of Tsubaki is my friend as well." He grins at me. I smile as I shake his hand.
"Maka Albarn." I smile back. We head up the stairs when we notice someone passed out in the hallway. Tsubaki and Black*Star shake their heads as they walk towards the crowd. There I see someone in a black suit crying on the floor. Two girls are above him. One that has long light brown hair is dressed in a red top that shows her belly button. She has a cowboy hat and jeans. The other has short blond hair and has a similar type of red top, but she has puffed out jeans and cowboy boots. She also has a cowboy hat on.
"Uhm...what's going on?" I ask Tsubaki.
"Kidd had another panic attack." The brown haired girl answered me. I look down and see Kidd has rolled over, looking really pale and really sick.
"I...don't...deserve...to live." He mutters. The blond girl bends down and starts patting his shoulder.
"Of course you deserve to live. You have to help the world be symmetrical. Otherwise, who else would do it?" She asks him. His life force suddenly returns and his eyes sparkle with excitement.
"You are absolutely right. I have a duty to the world. I have to make the world symmetrical for everyone!" He cries heroically. Everybody stares at him stupidly.
"Uh...ignore that. It's normal." The same girl brushes him off. She then smiles and holds out her hand.
"Liz Thompson's the name." She greets.
"I'm Patty Thompson! I like giraffes." The other girl hugs me from behind. I smile as I shake Liz's hand.
"Maka Albarn." I tell her.
"You're new here right?" Kidd finally notices me. He starts studying me and Patty releases me so he can take a close look at me.
"You are very symmetrical. You hair, your face, your clothes. Perfect." His eyes start sparkling. I look over at Tsubaki and Black*Star and they just motion for me to go with it.
"I'm Death the Kidd, helping all asymmetrical problems and saving the world from ugliness." He shakes my hand.
"Maka Albarn...uh...studying to go to college." I smile at him meekly. The bell rings and we all rush to class. There, we see the professor twisting his...screw...in his head. I blank out as Tsubaki pushes me up the stairs to my seat.
"Hurry and don't stare otherwise he'll..." We both squeal as sharp knives pin the wall between us. We stare down at the professor with the stitches on his face.
"Tsubaki, is there a problem?" He smiles evilly.
"No Professor Stein. Just helping Maka to her seat." I nod with her in agreement.
"Good, let's get started then. Today we are going to dissect a squid. Everybody better take careful notes. It will be on the test next week." Everybody groans and I pull out my notebook. After three hours of intense dissecting, we finally get lunch.
"That was so weird. I had never had classes like that." I murmur at the guys. They all nod their heads in agreement.
"You'll get used to it. Professor Stein is a little weird but he's a good teacher." Tsubaki informs me.
"Eh? I wouldn't know. Too busy painting my nails." Liz says as she blows her nails dry.
"Giraffes are awesome!" Patty squeals as she finishes making her 50th origami giraffe.
"Now, I say we have a party after school to welcome Maka to this school." Black*Star announces.
"Why, I have only been here one day?" I mumble.
"Nonsense. You are part of our group now therefore you must be inducted. Oh there's still one more person you have to meet..." He looks at everybody and they shake their hands frantically at him.
"What? Oh don't tell me you are all scared of Soul?" He laughs at them.
"Soul?" I ask.
"Don't ask. Number one trouble maker at our school. He is currently the school gang's leader. Black*Star and I are obviously in his gang but we don't talk about it much." Kidd rubs his forehead.
"What's so bad about him?" I ask Kidd.
"Eh...he's not exactly friendly when it comes to strangers. He only tolerates Liz, Patty and Tsubaki because they are our friends. He also tends to be a loner and he skips school a lot as well."
"Oh, typical bad boy. I see." I grumble. I dealt with plenty of those at my old school.
"Yeah, so staying out of his way is my best advice to you." Kidd warns me.
"That I can do." I smile as I get up to throw away my lunch. As I turn, I accidentally bump into someone, causing my chocolate milk to spill on his orange shirt.
"Oh I'm sorry." I apologize as I grab a napkin to wipe. I look up and see this guy with white hair and red eyes glaring down at me with his shark-like teeth. I stare at him curiously before he pushes me away.
"What the hell?" I cry as I fall on top of my spilled lunch. That jerk continues to walk towards my friends' table, ignoring me along the way.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!" I cry out. At my old school I was bullied a lot. I took defense classes over the summer and managed to hone a pretty good high kick. I plan on using it today. I stomp over to the table where the bastard is munching on an apple.
"Hey you? Who do you think you are? You pushed me down and didn't even apologize!" I snap at him.
"Black*Star, who's the whining bitch?" The bastard turns to Black*Star. Black*Star looks at him blankly and then back at me.
"That's Maka Albarn. She's the new kid here and our new friend." Black*Star says nervously. That's strange. Why is he so nervous? I thought that Black*Star wasn't scared of anybody.
"Soul..." Kidd starts talking. I stare at Soul in shock as he finally turns my way.
"Tiny tits, bring me lunch while you are at it." He says as he continues to munch on the apple. I finally reach a boiling point. The vein in my head pops and I pull out my Webster's dictionary.
"Nobody calls me Tiny Tits." I growl.
MAKA-CHOP!
I slam my book on his head, knocking him unconscious. Everybody stares at me in shock and I smile at them sweetly.
"I really don't like that name." I make up an excuse as I head off to the bathroom and clean myself off.
~This is my first story with chapters! Surprise! Surprise! I still plan to write one-shots when I'm not working on this. Reviews are always appreciated. Hope this works out and hope you guys like it. I'll try to keep their personalities true to the manga/anime.
