Chapter 2: Soul vs Spirit

After they finished eating breakfast, Soul decided to take Maka out to buy some clothes. They had school tomorrow, and she didn't want to risk getting clothes from her house, where she knew he would be waiting, ready to taunt and tease her more. As they finished getting a couple things Maka had gotten, like a toothbrush and hairbrush, they turned a corner. Soul quickly pushed Maka back and said, "Wait here," in a voice so low only Maka could here. Then she saw her father, and whispered back, "Soul, don't do anything stupid. Please?" He ignored her and walked towards her father, who had spotted him and started walking towards him as well.

"Hey punk, you seen my daughter lately?"

"Just at school. " He replied smoothly. "Why, did you do something uncool again?"

"None of your business punk." He sneered back.

"She didn't go home to her precious papa, or what?" Soul glared at Spirit.

"Tell me where she is already, Eater." He was getting impatient.

"Over my dead body would I let her go back with your lame ass."

They were now standing about a foot away from each other, glaring. "Stop playing games, boy." "Stop being a lame ass father." Soul retorted. They stood inches away from each other. Then, Soul hit Spirit in the gut, making him loose his breath, and when he tried straightening up, a fist connected with his nose.

"Why you little…" He lunged forward and was caught short when he was kicked between the legs. He fell on the ground, and Soul looked at him coldly before saying, "She's not going back to live with you. You don't deserve a daughter like her." Soul kicked him in the side before turning and heading back to Maka. When he passed, everyone else that had been watching moved away from him, whispering about who he was and how he just beat up a death scythe and all.

He gave Maka a hug once he reached her, and she said, "I can't believe you just did that." He smirked at her, and kept one arm around her protectively as they turned around and walked into another store so Maka could get some clothes.

When they got home about an hour later, Maka decided to thank Soul by making him some lunch. As she was cooking the pasta for spaghetti, Soul walked up behind her and kissed her neck quickly. She jumped and her face turned red. "S-Soul! You almost made me spill the pot!" He smirked at her and whispered in her ear, "Sorry Maka, couldn't help it. You're a good cook by the way." Her face turned more red, and she stuttered back, "Th-Thanks S-Soul." Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she was sure that her could hear it. Then she told him to watch t.v. while she finished cooking. When he finally left, she sighed in relief. She hadn't been able to think straight with him standing so close behind her, his breath tickling her neck as he whispered in her ear. She shook her head, returning to reality. As she poured in the sauce and started mixing it with the pasta, she wondered if they were still just friends or if they were more….he had kissed her a couple times and they were sharing a bed….

Just then, Soul appeared behind her, his hands on her waist. "Food smells good." He kissed the back of her neck, then leaned forward and whispered, "So do you," before licking her neck. She shivered a little. "Don't think the food will taste better than you though." She turned red again and asked him to set the table, stuttering more than a few times. He just chuckled and said he would. As she was recovering, she heard him say, "Oi, Maka stop daydreaming about me already and bring the food over here." Her face had barely started going back to normal color before he said that, and now it went tomato red. She grabbed a nearby cookbook and said, "Maka-CHOP!" as she threw the book at him. It hit him in the face and he fell backwards, his nose bleeding. She just laughed at him as she walked over to help him up. "I said bring the food, not throw me the book showing how to make it," he grumbled at her. She just laughed again before wiping the blood off of his face with a napkin. "Well, you gotta learn how to make it too." she replied to him. "Okay so can we eat now? I'm starving." he whined. "Yeah, yeah Soul. Just save some for me, ok?" He smirked at her and replied, "No promises." As they raced each other to get enough food before the other got there, they teased each other. Once they finally sat down, they dug in. Soul was slurping up his noodles, making an unpleasant sound, and Maka was eating like a civilized person, complaining to him about not talking with his mouth full and to stop inhaling his food or he'd get sick.

After they finished, they sat on the couch to watch T.V. Maka rested her head on Soul's shoulder, and he had his arm wrapped around her. Then, a commercial for condoms came on, and Maka blushed furiously, trying to get the remote to change the channel, as the commercial reminded her of something she didn't want to be thinking about. As Soul held the remote away from her so she couldn't reach, he teased her, saying, "What's the matter Maka? You don't like condoms?" He smirked at her and moved the remote out of reach again, making her stretch forward, and Soul almost got a nosebleed as her skirt came up, showing her underwear. He moved his arm again and as she stretched to reach it, she ended up in his lap, her boobs in his face. She only realized this when she felt Soul slip his hand under her shirt, moving it up her stomach. She froze in shock before pulling back. "Soul what do you think you're doing?" He grinned at her. "You put them in my face, what did you expect me to do?" He kissed her collarbone and looked at her. She had sat down now, and was still in his lap. Her face turned red when she felt that by her thigh. "What's the matter Maka?" he said mockingly, a smirk spreading across his face. She yelped as the hand that had been frozen under her shirt moved up and around her back, unclipping her bra. She tried to put her hands up to keep it from sliding down under her shirt, but he pulled it down and out of her shirt with one hand. She blushed and crossed her arms over her chest. She knew it would be obvious that she was no longer wearing a bra, and didn't want him to see.
