As long as we're together
Chapter 2: Friend or enemy?
Normal POV:
"That's great!" the three of them smiled "Stein-kun will arrive here with the machine soon." As they where waiting Spirit still laid in his corner while bleeding. Soul, Maka and Lord Death talked a bit more about the mission, when finally Stein came in. The invention he had with him was just as tall as himself it it had a few little light affixed and had only one button. On this button you could read with white, big letters 'ON/OFF'. "Ah, Stein-kun! There you are, you kept us waiting." "Sorry. It wasn't so easy to to take this," he pointed at the invention "thing with me up here." Lord Death nodded understanding, Soul was the first one to react to the machine. "So this 'thing' is it, huh? Looks pretty lame to me.." Maka then Maka-chopped him and asked Lord Death "So, when are we going to start the missi-?!" ..but Stein interrupted her, by thrusting them into the portal, while Lord Death waved at them and said "Right now of course! Good luck you two!"
Maka's POV:
When I woke up I took a look around me, to notice that around me was nothing but the clear blue sky, an almost infinite area made out of grass and to my surprise: Soul, he looked straight at me and wanted to know if I'm okay. He looked really worried... 'Was he awake the whole time and watched over me?' I thought, when my cheeks turned a little red. "Yes, don't worry. I'm fine.. just a little dizzy. Where are we?" "Here, let me help you." He reached out his hand to me, my cheeks got even redder. 'What's wrong with me?! We held hands so many times before and now I'm turning red just by the mere thought of it! Get a hold of yourself, Maka.' I took his hand anyway and got up. "Thanks." I smiled at him only to notice now was his time to turn red 'Strange.. why would he turn red all of the sudden?' "We are in this other world, which Lord Death talked about... I think we should head to the next city. What do you think?" Soul said as he looked around the area "Good idea. Over there is a city. "I replied to Soul. He just nodded and we went to this city.
-An hour later-
Soul's POV:
As soon as we entered the city, I noticed something. Everybody looked at us! But why? I noticed one more thing, these people all had strange clothes and the buildings looked weird, too. What the fuck is this world?! "Très bien! My name is Scarron! Who are cute little guys? You look so interesting! Come with me, I'm running an inn just down the street! I want to know everything about you cuties!" a weird looking guy told us and dragged us with him down the street to an inn called 'Fairy Inn' I don't know what to think about this whole, fucking situation we're in. "Soul.. what exactly is happening right now? I can't see the souls of all these peoples..." Maka whispered to me "I don't know.. but if he's going to do anything to us, we're killing him." I whispered back. When we came into the inn many girls in really short dresses greeted us. Hell, their bodies were barely covered! This 'Sharron' guy called them his fairies and they called him my mademoiselle... wait. Wasn't he supposed to be a man? Maka couldn't say a word either. We sat at one of the tables, when he started to ask us questions. "I already told you my name, would you please tell yours?" before I could answer Maka told them our names "Très bien! So, please tell me where do you come from?" Why did he need to ask for that?! Lord Death told us before our leave not to tell that we came from another world. What do we do now?! "We... uhm..." I begun "We came from another neighboring country by foot." How did she come up with this story so suddenly? Did she knew, we'd come in such a situation sooner or later? The 'fairies and Scarron were shocked by Maka's answer. "What?! That's such a long way, why would you do this all alone? And not with your parents? Perhaps you are sister and brother?" this time I answered "No, we aren't. We where both kicked out of our homes at a young age and became orphans. So we just walked, without a plan and without a destination. Until we came into this city." Scarron almost cried as I told the story. He said it was so heartbreaking. "I want to help you two, so please stay at my inn. Don't worry about the money you can work here, but please stay here a while, I would feel really sad otherwise!" "What do you think Soul? Should we stay?" "Yeah, why not. I guess it can't hurt." "Très bien! Come on! I will show you your room!" Scarron seemed to be delighted. "W-Wait! Only one room?" Maka asked and turned... red? Huh? "Yes, I'm sorry but only one room is left... I have many guests this time of month, you know? Is this a problem? If it is, one of you could come and sleep in my room with me!" "No no! It's fine, don't you think Maka?" I gave her a look to say yes "Y...yes it is fine." she said shyly. "Alright! Then come follow me." He walked upstairs followed by Maka and me "Here it is. You will start working here in half an hour, I will come to your room then, but first you should unpack your bags to change into something normal" "Uhm... we don't have any bags..." "You don't... have any? Well, then you should buy some normal clothes, or people will never stop starring at your beautiful bodies otherwise. Do you have enough money?" "We don't have any money, too..." Scarron looked really shocked and thought about it a while "Then I don't have any other choice, but to give you some money. Take it as a present, so you can get a better future. At work, you-" He pointed at me "will get an apron. You will be a dishwasher. And you-" He pointed at Maka "will get a dress like my other fairies and serve my guests!" He gave us some money, told us to have fun and walked away. 'Maka will be one of them?! The fuck, no! She'd be barely dressed! Nobody should see her like this, but me! But wait... what am I thinking!?' Soul, lets go buy some 'normal' clothes. You heared him." "Yeah, yeah. Peole will stare at our 'beautiful bodies'. I got it."
