ENTRANCED
Chapter 1: Hidden Behind
I do not own Soul Eater.
Although I wish I did.
Another Summary:
Maka's mind finds it hard to forget thaat certain pair of eyes.
Dark ominous red. That is the color.
Is she entranced?
(Starts out mild but will change in the later chapters) Mainly SoMa, hints of SoulStar (xD) and slight KiMa.
A new story. =)

"MAN, THAT WITCH WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO ME! HYAHAHAHA!" a particular blue-haired kid boasted.
And he ran ahead, a white-haired boy trailing him from behind.
"I finally managed to have a witch's soul," Tsubaki said cheerfully to no one in particular.
"But you still need 99 evil souls before you can eat it," Maka said to Tsubaki.
"Eh? Oh, that's right." Tsubaki chuckled, a little ashamed for the reminder.
"Tsubaki-chan, not to offend but… Do you think you'll ever become a Death Scythe?"
Tsubaki scratched a cheek. "I'm sure Black Star would help me reach that goal."
"Black Star? He's always up to no good."
Tsubaki looked at his meister, who was far ahead of them already.
It was obvious that he was laughing loudly.
And Soul had his hands in his pockets, acting cool as ever.
"But he has grown, eh?"
.
"WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO SLOW? YOU'RE ALL GETTING BEHIND!" Black Star yelled at the wind.
"Not me," a calm voice replied.
"Soul! I didn't know you were fast at all!"
Black Star stopped in his run and turned around.
Soul shrugged. "You're just getting slow, as far as I know."
"A god like me will never be slow like them!"
Black Star emphasized his last word when he pointed at the two, way behind them.
"They're just taking their time. I can't see why you want to rush home."
"You wanna know why?"
Black Star put an arm around Soul's neck and pulled him closer.
"Uhh… I do?"
Black Star grinned.
"Okay, you gotta join me on this one! I was planning to go ahead because-"
And Black Star whispered more information on Soul's ear.
.
"I have a different feeling on this one," Maka grumbled as she held her arms.
"Maka-chan, it's just the cold wind."
Tsubaki turned around and waved at the two boys.
"We'll be resting for a while! Come back here for the food!"
"Food?" Maka asked.
Tsubaki showed a smile. "I hope you know how to cook wild rabbits. It will be fun for me to have a companion."
A few minutes later, Soul and Black Star reached their camp, muttering things to themselves.
Then they ended the topic by connecting their knuckles, as if having made an agreement.
"Tsubaki, what are we going to eat?" Black Star asked as he sat cross-legged around the prepared fire.
"Fried wild rabbit. It actually tastes good."
"WHAAAT?! No beef steak this time?"
"Come in. Maka-chan cooked some of it, too."
"That just makes it worse!"
"What do you mean by that?" Maka asked, giving a leer at Black Star.
"Maka, the truth is…" Soul began as he tasted a bit of the food. "Black Star has a point. Have you ever cooked something to this level?"
"Level?" Maka scoffed. "Are you insulting me?"
"That's right!" Black Star said aloud. "Soul, you have to cook a lot more and let me taste everything you make!"
"I've got no problem with that."
"That's quite rude…" Maka muttered.
Tsubaki just laughed softly.
Black Star moved a hand near the fire and got two sticks of wild rabbit.
He easily gobbled up the food and threw the sticks away.
"That's kinda few. Tsubaki, let's hunt some more!" Black Star suggested.
"Uhh… Hai!"
Black Star began to run to the forest near them.
Tsubaki turned into a short sword for him.
Black Star adjusted a hand to the blade.
While the other hand had its thumb raised.
Soul grinned to himself as he saw the action.
His eyes followed the weapon and meister for a while until they were too far away.
"Soul, you want to go hunting, too?" Maka asked.
She was just sitting with her head above her knees.
"Nah. I'm going to a lake or something. Wait for me."
Soul raised a hand in farewell.
"Soul, don't leave me alone here!"
"Can I assume you're afraid or something?"
"No way! It's just-"
"No. Someone's got to guard our things," Soul said stubbornly. "Or you may want to contact Shinigami-sama. See ya."
And Maka watched her weapon walk away.
She had a terrible feeling.
With her friends leaving…
Something bad was going to happen.
Oh well.
She took a mirror from her bag and drew Shinigami's number.
.
'I knew it!'
'I knew it!'
"Don't you ever let me see you guys or I'll-"
Maka stopped herself.
Beside the fact that no one was probably hearing her, there was the fact that someone might be listening.
And if that someone was among her companions, they would hide further away from her.
There was no use on threatening them.
She wouldn't want this to continue for so long.
It was getting late.
Maka could just imagine the others laughing behind the trees or bushes.
Why did Tsubaki even join them?
'Oh, Black Star called her for hunting. Either he tricked her or he went somewhere far. Which means Soul is the most likely one to be the mastermind. Not cool.'
Then Maka saw a pair of red eyes among the bushes.
She sighed.
The mischief was going to end, at last.
"Soul?"
She went to the bushes, her thoughts getting confused.
Why was she irritated at him and…
It wasn't relieved…
Happy at the same time?
Soul and his gang had hidden from her and had given her a hard time trying to find them, the time turning into night already.
So from her bag, she got a book.
"We still need to go home, you know?"
The pair of eyes quickly hid behind the bushes.
"You're not getting away! You and Black Star would get the most painful slam ever."
And she was right in front of the bush.
She slammed the book.
'Yelp!'
"Hu- huh?!"
Maka took a step back.
"Did I hit someone else?"
From behind the bushes, a reply by a growl was heard.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"
The growl became sinister and Maka shivered.
"No way…"
Maka continued her retreat.
Then the sound grew into a deep snarl.
"AHHH! Somebody help me!"
The bush shook wildly and out came the victim of Maka's chop.
"Soul! Black Star! Tsubaki-chan! Someone!"
The victim's teeth were bared.
Maka's eyes widened as she looked back.
"It's a wolf!"
She was staring at the hungry pair of eyes when she was pounced by the creature.
Just before everything else became red.
