I got back before the guys woke up. Got showered and redressed into a pile of clothes on my bed, with a note that said "Be nice to people, let people in and my name is Tsubaki." I sighed and left to go find her. After fifteen minutes I found her sitting on a high wall, which was easy for me to climb.
"Hey what are you doing here?" She asked nicely.
"Sorry about before, I had a lot on my mind. I want to be friends." I said.
"Sure. So want to tell me what you had on your mind?" She asked.
"I'm afraid. All those worlds, gone….I'll never be strong enough to defeat Soul Edge." I spilled and I started to cry.
Tsubaki hugged me tight, saying that she and her friends would stand by me, no matter what happened. After I calmed down, we just sat for a while until she said "Come on, or else we'll be late for class." So we walked to class, where I sat and pretended to care. I snuck out and ran into Maka, literally. When she looked up, she had a giant blush on her face. We walked and talked, until Death appeared and told us that only Maka and I had a mission. We left discreetly so Soul wouldn't see. Halfway there we ran into some trouble. The blood red beam I know so well rocketed over to the school. We ran full speed back to DMA, only to find a less powerful version of Soul Edge in Soul's hand. The sword opened its eye and its veins pulsed with power. "Stand back!" I shouted while pulling out Soul Caliber. Soul charged at me but I semi-spun and brought the hilt on his head. He got back up and started swinging like a madman; I spun until I was behind him and slam the blade flat against his body, stunning him; I finished it with a stab through Soul Edge's eye. The sword squealed and dissolved in a red mist. Maka ran up. "What the hell Soul! Why did you have that sword?"
"Wasn't his fault, Soul Edge feeds of misery and negative emotions, and when those feelings get too much Soul Edge appears and takes over completely." I explained. "Soul is jealous."
"Jealous? What does Soul have to be jealous about?" Maka asked. Then she knew. "Soul you love me don't you?" Soul walked away grumbling with Maka close behind him.
"Cute, don't you think?" Tsubaki walked up.
"Not my type." I quickly said. She laughed.
"Not what I meant, I was talking about Soul and Maka." She explained.
"Oh, yeah, I guess." I mumbled.
"Since Maka isn't your type then what's your type?" Tsubaki asked.
"I don't know; pretty, smart, something like that." I rushed the answer.
"Something like that?" She mused.
"Yeah…look I have to go see Death, later." I took off running. Truth time; I didn't need to see Death. I just needed an excuse to get away, but it bit me in the ass. Tsubaki and Death walked around the corner where I was chilling.
"Hello, you must have gotten lost." Death said. "Now why did you need to talk to me? Is it about this Soul Edge I heard from Tsubaki? If that's the case then you can continue going about your day." Death walked away, leaving me and Tsubaki alone.
"Sooooo…" I said arkwardly
"You never told me what your exact type was." She said pointblank.
"Well I guess I didn't." I was figuring a way out of this, so far nothing.
"Well why don't you tell me now or do you still need to see Death?" She asked.
"I need to go see Soul, you know to see if he in danger of getting Soul Edge again." I said.
"No he's not. He and Maka are dating." She said. Damn.
"Well still, I should check if anyone is in danger of having Soul Edge visit them." I said trying to leave.
"I'm in danger of having Soul Edge visit me." Tsubaki piped. "I'm in danger because the guy I like won't give me a straight answer bout him liking me or not." Before I could answer her I saw Make and Soul running towards me.
"You better come see this." Maka said worried. We ran outside and saw red clouds vortex around a singular point where a giant red double sided blade. A fiery hand grabbed the blade the pull it out of the singularity.
"What is that?" Tsubaki asked very worried.
"The evil itself. Inferno." I deadpan.
