It took one glance, one conversation, one thought and two souls.
I'll explain.
I was walking out of the D.W.M.A and BlackStar shouted "hey, Soul! Wanna come my way?!" So I went to follow him. "Great, it's raining, I had to go the long way didn't I?!" I moan at myself with BlackStar hearing.
"Hey, you can stay over mine again" he suggested, "nah, I have to get home, I'm waiting for a phone call of the music company T.M.A.P (Talented. Music. Always. Played) (made up) in case they suggest my music" I shrugged.
"Oh, yeah, how's that going by the way?" He asked, "eh, alright but good if I can get this contract" we arrived at his house. "Hey, at least take my umbrella" he insisted, "thanks BlackStar, I'll give it to you tomorrow" "eh, no rush."
"See ya!" I shouted as I ran home, well, past the town of Death City anyways.
As I was jogging down I saw a young girl with emerald green eyes and ash blonde hair sitting outside an dark dirty alleyway with a small tatty blanket and a tin can, I saw bruises all over her and a little cut on her leg, 'she must be freezing' I thought. So I kneeled down and looked at her then she looked at me then sneezed, mainly because she was cold I guess. She shook the can a little, looking down a little, of course she'll be shy to a stranger like me. I got some money out.
"I will give you this if you promise not to spend it on drugs or any of the sort, you understand?" She nodded. As I was going to put the money in the can a guy with black and white hair was walking by and the girl looked at him with wide eyes and he smirked and started to walk slowly then stopped and kneeled down besides me, the girl looked down.
"Hey, is this guy bothering you?" He asked, she shook her head, "hey, dude, I think your the one that's bothering her" I stated.
"Is that true?" He asked and she nodded.
"I'm going to get some money, I'll be back in a bit" and he left, 'phew, he didn't look so good. He looked like he scared her' I thought, it was starting to rain heavily now and she would get soaked.
"Hey, I'll do ya a deal" I started, which made her look up at me, "why don't you come home with me so that weirdo doesn't do anything to ya and you can explain to me what a pretty girl like you doing in the streets" I said although it might sound bad.
"So, is it a deal?" I asked as I extended my hand to her, she cautiously took it and I pulled her up and put my jacket over her shoulders and ran to my house, I looked back at that guy with the black and white hair, I saw him frown and I smirked.
As I entered my house I lead her to my red sofa and sat her down as I went to a cupboard and got a towel out and gave it to her to dry her self, she hasn't spoken, or smiled, she must've had a bad life.
"So, what's your name?" I asked, she looked at me and put the towel down.
"M-Maka, Maka Al-Albarn" she replied, "I don't blame ya for being shy, I'm surprised you came with me, you don't know me or anything about me, for all you know I could've done something bad to ya" I pointed out, which actually got her scared and she ran to the door and was opening it, I ran to her and when the door was open we saw that guy out side smirking and was going to grab her but she quickly slammed the door close and leaned on it and sat down with her knees tucked in to her chest and looking at the ground, I looked out the window and saw him turning away then I walked over to Maka and sat down next to her.
"Hey, Maka, you alright?" I asked a I put my arm around her and she started to tremble and looked up at me with tears in her eyes, 'damn, have I made her scared of me? I didn't mean to' I moaned in my head.
"Have I made you scared?" I asked and she nodded and trembled a little more as she looked at the window and saw that guy again, then I walked over and closed the curtains.
"Wanna go to your room, don't worry Maka, I won't do anything to you, I promise" I smiled then she smiled and I lead her to the spare room, "if you need anything just come to me, and if that guy shows up again just tell me, okay" and she nodded.
"What his name by the way, or don't you know?" I asked "his n-names As-Asura" she replied.
"Why are you so scared of him?" "H-he always c-came up t-to m-me in t-the s-st-streets and m-messed with me, h-he al-always k-kissed me o-on my b-bruises and c-cuts and n-nibbled on m-me, h-he-" she got interrupted by me, "he's despicable, sorry you had to go through that" I said.
"How did you get on the streets?" I asked.
"M-my papa is a j-jerk and he a-always a-abused me a-and o-once when I w-was 8 y-years o-old he u-used me a-as a s-sex d-doll, that w-was when m-mama had t-to go away, t-then papa k-kicked me o-out and n-never saw m-me since" she explained with a sniffle and tears appearing in her emerald eyes.
"Your right, he is a jerk, sorry about that, when is your mother going to come back?" "N-never, s-she d-died" she started to cry, but silently.
"Ah, uh, please don't cry. Have you been to school?" She nodded "I w-went when I w-was 5 y-years old b-but stopped w-when I w-was 7 b-because m-my p-papa kept m-me away f-from e-everyone so he w-wouldn't be a-arrested for c-child abuse" she started to cry silently again.
"So you've only been to school for one year, hey, why don't you go to my school, I'll ask Lord Death tomorrow" "r-really? Y-you'd d-do th-that, sir?" She asked in amazement.
"Haha, just call me Soul, okay Maka" "um, y-yes, sir-S-Soul" she panicked. "Don't worry, it's not like I'm gonna punish you or anything, if you make a mistake you make a mistake" I smiled.
"T-Thank you,si-Soul" she thanked.
"It's alright, you deserve it, for what you've been through" I smiled.
"So, remember if you want nothing just tell me and if that Asura guy comes call me and I'll get you, okay Maka" she smiled and hugged me "t-thank you Soul" "okay, why don't you get some sleep and I'll see if you can go to the D.W.M.A" I smiled.
As I was going to turn the light off she spoke.
"Um, S-Soul, w-what d-does t-the D.W.M.A m-mean?" She asked.
"It means Deaths. Weapon. Miester. Academy, anything else Maka" I said.
"Um, c-could y-you n-not t-turn the l-light off p-please?" "Sure."
"Sleep well, Maka" "n-night sir-Soul."
So when I left her I got changed and went to sleep in my warm bed.
After a while I heard a scream "SIR!" 'It must be Maka' I thought as I ran to the spare room to see that Asura guy licking her neck and on top of her.
"Hey! Get off of Maka!" I yelled, "hehe, why, I've done this before, I've done this loads of times" he snickered, Maka looked at me with her eyes and she looked terrified.
"Let her go!" I yelled as I raised my arm and turned into the blade of my scythe.
"I said let her go!" I yelled as I charged at him, "whoa, okay, calm down. I haven't harmed the little lady" he smirked as he went out the window.
My arm turned back to normal and I rushed towards Maka and hugged her, "you alright?" "U-uh, I-I t-think s-so" 'damn, I've probably scared her again' I cursed.
"U-um, s-sir, uh Soul, w-what w-was t-that?" She asked, I pulled back, "you know the D.W.M.A, well, I'm a weapon, a scythe, I don't have a miester yet" I explained.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you" I smiled then frowned thinking of Asura.
"Come on, I'll put a mattress on the floor in my room, so he doesn't come back, okay" I put my hand out in front of her and she took it.
"T-thank-you sir-Soul."
As we were walking to my bedroom I remembered something.
"Ah, by the way Maka, you called me 'sir' instead of 'Soul' like I told you too when Asura was in your room, I'm very disappointed in that" I looked back at her with a frown, she looked down and started to tremble. I stopped.
"Ah, hey, I was joking, sorry, I didn't men to scare or upset you" "huh, which one, scare or upset?" I sighed.
S-scared" then I embraced her into an hug, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" I mentally slapped myself.
"I-it's o-okay sir, ah, I-I m-me-" "don't worry about it, call me 'sir' if it makes you feel comfortable, just call me Soul when your ready, okay Maka" she nodded. As we reached my bedroom I placed her on my bed a I got a mattress from underneath it.
"You happy with that?" "Y-yes, th-thank-you sir" she got off the bed and onto the mattress.
"Night Maka" "n-night Soul"
And we both finally fell asleep.
