The roaring of an engine could be heard through the streets of Death City as Soul sped down an alleyway.
"Which way?" Soul yelled over his shoulder to Maka who was seated firmly behind him. She had one arm wrapped around his torso while the other was trying to keep hold of a map.
"When you get up to the next street turn right. That will take us to a road that leads into the Forrest." Maka yelled into his ears.
"Alright. Hold on!" Soul grinned, and accelerated even more causing the tires to squeal on the cobblestone beneath them. Maka wasn't expecting the sudden increase in speed. She quickly wrapped her other arm around Soul, losing the map in the process. She looked back as it floated away.
"Great, I hope you know how to get home! We just lost the map!" She hollered, holding onto him even tighter.
Soul liked riding the bike. It always gave him an excuse to have Maka close to him. He liked the warmth she provided when she hugged him. He would often drive fast just to have her hold onto him. He was brought out of his thoughts when he realized Maka was speaking.
"Hey! Are you even listening to me?"
"Hmm?" Soul asked, still slightly dazed. She sighed.
"I said we should be coming up to a bridge any moment now. From there we will have to walk." Soul groaned as a covered bridge came into view. He slowed to a stop. Maka swung her leg over the seat just as Soul was turning around to talk to her. This resulted in him getting a small glance at her dark pink panties. His cheeks turned a light crimson as he turned back around. Maka hadn't seemed to notice the small slip for if she had Soul was sure his head would be throbbing by now. He turned the key to his bike, and shoved the kickstand into the damp ground. He walked over to Maka to survey the area with her. They were in a small clearing surrounded by trees. To his left Soul could see a large river, and an old moss covered bridge. He couldn't see much due to all the trees, and it made him feel a little on edge.
A swift breeze swept through the clearing. It whipped Maka's pigtails and bangs away from her face. The wind was cold and smacked at her bare legs. She shivered, and pulled her long black coat closer to her. She began walking towards the bridge and Soul followed. It was an old wooden covered bridge. There were a few holes here and there, but besides that it was still in pretty good shape. Maka stepped onto the bridge. It's planks squeaked and shuttered with every step she took. A wave of nostalgia hit Maka as a memory of a little girl and her mother came into her mind. The girl was sitting on a pale blue blanket, a sandwich in her hand. She smiled up at a woman in a white dress who was standing a few feet away. The woman's hair blew gently in the wind. The memory brought tears to her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. She was on a mission and had no time for such things. Just then the board under Makas foot broke. The last thing she remembered was Soul screaming her name, a flash of bright purple, and then darkness.
