Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater- just this plot line! Same goes for all of my chapters Also this is done from a third person- all knowing narrative point, enjoy!
Italics= thoughts of whoever spoke last, if not specified otherwise
Maka was lost in her thoughts as she walked out of her classroom. It had been a fairly normal day of classes: Kid couldn't finish the test they had (although he had gotten past writing his name and onto trying to fill in the bubble on the first multiple choice question perfectly), Black*star made numerous announcements throughout the day proclaiming his greatness, and Tsubaki had tried in vain to make her boisterous meister quiet down. The one exception to her normal day was that Soul had been missing from classes. That wasn't surprising in itself as he and Black*star always skipped, but Soul hadn't even given her a heads up. It was so weird she had asked Patty and Liz had run ahead to go check on him as Maka had wanted to find a book for her research paper in the library. I wonder what he's doing and if he's alright… as soon as I get home and ask him about it he'll tell me something along the lines of "It's not cool to worry about cool guys like me Tiny-Tits." That's the exact reason why I like Kid and not Soul, he never calls me Tiny-Tits or Bookworm.
"Maka! Maka wait up!" A voice called from behind her. Maka turned to see a curvaceous Japanese girl running towards her. The girl was tall, but with the body to pull off her unusual height. Her long black hair was pulled into a high ponytail on her head, with a tan ribbon tied around it to match the tan dress with the star on the chest that she was wearing, "I was asked by Sid to tell you to report to the Death Room right away. He said it was important so you may want to hurry."
"Thanks Tsubaki," Maka smiled and changed her direction, "I'll head there right now!"
"Is everything okay? You seemed out of it today," Tsubaki asked trailing off and catching her breath at the same time. She looked slightly worried and had a crease between her eyebrows," If there's any-"
"YAHOO! YOUR GOD THE GREAT BLACK*STAR HAS ARRIVED!" A Teal-haired boy with a star tattooed on his muscular arm said jumping in front of them. He wasn't much taller than Maka, although his muscular build made up for it easily, "Hey Maka, does Lord Death wanna see you about your chest development issues?" He threw back his head and laughed obnoxiously.
"Makaaa-" Maka muttered with one eyebrow twitching, reaching into her bag.
"What'd you say?" Black*Star asked.
"CHOP!" Maka brought the book down onto the boy's head causing him to sulk momentarily, "Once again, thanks Tsubaki. I haven't been having any problems lately, I was just a bit worried about Soul not informing me that he was skipping today. He doesn't normally do that… Anyways I'd better go see what Lord Death wants! Bye!" Maka spun around and hurried back through the doors into the school. Well I guess that when it comes to problems, trying to get Kid to notice me more isn't really an issue that I need to tell Tsubaki, especially in front of that loudmouth Black*Star.
Making her way through the maze that was considered to be a school, Maka got lost in her thoughts once more, this time about a certain Shinigami-to-be. As she was walking, she walked straight into someone's back, "Oh!" Maka threw her arms behind her and prepared for the jarring pain in her hands and bottom that came with falling onto the hard floor, but instead she felt herself being pulled forward. Whoever had pulled her up must have slightly over-estimated their strength because the next thing Maka knew she was pulled into the, now obviously male, chest. She opened her eye and tilted her head up to see who she had encountered at such odd timing. Golden eyes met hers and she also saw black hair with three white half-stripes on the left side. Speak of the devil, or Shinigami in this case, and he shall arrive…
"Sorry Kid! I guess I got lost in my thoughts again while walking," Maka said jumping out of Kid's arms. She attempted to avoid a blush from taking over her cheeks as she looked anywhere but at Kid. Kid smiled but frowned a little after a second.
"It's okay, but why are you going back to the school? We got out almost an hour ago," Kid asked with confusion in his eyes. Then again I'm in the same boat, I haven't left yet either…
"Oh, I was doing some research in the library then I found out your dad wanted to see me about something. But I should be asking you the same thing, are you turning into a teacher's pet?!" Maka stuck her tongue out at Kid, teasingly. Unknown to Maka, Kid felt the tips of his ears turn pink.
"I normally stay after school just to check the symmetry of the school one last time before going home, plus this is where I promised to meet Liz and Patty once they got back from your house. Then I was told I had to meet my Father as well, so since we are both going to talk to my father, I suppose I could escort my fellow teacher's pet to the Death room," Kid said with mock formality holding out an arm.
"I'll pass thank you very much. I prefer not to dance with Death!" Maka teased again slightly up-turning her nose. After a second of confusion from her friend she giggled and hooked her arm with Kid's and walked to the Death Room.
"Hey there, Hi there, Ho there kids!" Lord Death said in his funny voice, "So a problem has arisen kiddos. While Maka and Soul were in South America on their mission, Soul contracted a highly contagious form of influenza. While it's not known to be deadly, it is rather troublesome to deal with, so it may be best for you to not stay at home for a few days while Soul recovers," Kid opened his mouth to ask why he was needed when Lord Death answered his question, "It seems that Liz and Patty were not informed of this and when they visited Soul after school, they caught it as well."
"Dammit, I told Soul not to eat that fish, the man making it was clearly sick. I mean she was coughing and looked feverish!" Maka rolled her eyes at her irresponsible partner.
"Yes. Well anyway, since you can't go to your apartment Maka and Liz and Patty are stuck at her apartment, you both will stay at Death Mansion!" Death happily announced, however his tone of voice indicated that there was really no room for argument.
"Alright," They both replied indifferently. They were both secretly celebrating inside; Maka for being able to get to know Kid and possibly discuss books, and Kid for getting to have someone over that won't attempt to ruin his perfect symmetry. The two left the school in companionable silence, and were almost to Kids house when Maka remembered the issue of what she'd wear.
" What am I going to wear for this time though? I mean, it's the weekend so as long as we wash these clothes tonight like I had been planning before, we only have to think about pajamas. Both Patty and Liz are a lot shorter than me though, so I don't think I'll fit into their pajamas," Maka said blushing
"I have a pair of pajamas you can wear if that's alright with you." Kid was straightforward as usual, but he inwardly blushed at himself. Maka smiled in reply and they continued walking along. Kid glanced at her and couldn't help but stare at her, the sun was glinting off of her ash blond hair and her green eyes shined happily. He loved Maka's symmetry at this exact moment, especially her perfect pigtails, when he noticed something that most likely shouldn't be in the background," Maka!" Kid grabbed her hand and tugged her closer to him, putting their heads down and closer together.
"Kid!" Maka blushed trying to pull away.
"Shh! I'm not sure if you're aware, but your father must have just found out about you staying at my house alone and is right over there looking for you!" Kid whispered. He was walking very quickly towards his house when Spirit saw the two of them.
"YOU! LET GO OF MY LITTLE MAKA!" Spirit yelled crazily. He ran towards them with fire in his eyes, he would not be stopped with a simple Maka Chop at this point.
"Kid, we're not gonna make it before him!" Maka whispered, now frightened of embarrassment. Of course I'm the one who has a so-called dad who goes crazy the second I'm seen with a guy other than Soul!
"We'll use Beezlebub!" Kid yelled a flash of light and they were on the flying skateboard. He set Maka in front of him and she was pushed into his chest for the second time that day due to the force of speed. They sped past a shocked Spirit and into the large house. Quickly Maka jumped off, but her legs weren't adjusted to anything really and she slumped to the ground. She hit her head in the process on one of the little table where Kid and the Thompson sisters kept their keys.
"Maka!" Kid turned around after locking the door to see Maka slumped on the floor. He kneeled down to get a better look at her head, with a worried look in his eyes.
