Chapter 2
"Shit" He cursed. Why the hell was Liz out at four in the morning?
"Y-you're back...I thought you...Maka will be-You are in a suit" Liz fumbled over her own mouth. Soul smiled, realizing she must've missed him. It only felt like yesterday he was alive and laughing with them. He was still quite shocked it had been seven months. He wondered how everyone else was. How did Black Star deal with the deal with his death? That was a scary thought. Did Maka save the episodes of Doctor Who he missed? Why did he just ask himself that? Of course she didn't, she thought he was dead!
"How are you alive? Am I just drunk or something?" Liz started to tear up. Soul softened his surprised expression into a small smile. "This...isn't possible" Tears started to pool in the eldest demon guns eyes. He opened his arm for her to embrace him. Knowing a simple touch would assure her that he was real. Liz stumbled into his frame and sobbed, latched onto him into a death lock.
"Yeah...I don't know what happened either" Soul shrugged in her embrace. Liz fell to her knees against the motor bike. She sobbed and heaved her breathes against his knee. Clutching the expensive pant suit in hope he wouldn't vanish before her eyes. Proof that he wasn't a vivid daydream. Soul placed a hand on her head and stroked her caramel hair. "I know this may seem weird but you can't tell anyone you saw me" Liz snapped her head up to him, ready to yell at him. But she stopped at the sight of his sad face, the smile completely fallen from his features. "How long...How long have I been dead?" He asked, already knowing the answer. Liz shot down the theory that he faked his death, the confused look in his eyes pleaded for her to answer him.
"Seven months, two weeks and three days. Maka keeps a counting tap in her not book," Liz stood up and dried her tears but still felt the need to cry. Soul patted the seat behind him, motioning her to hop on. Liz swung a leg over, not caring if her panties showed under her grey mini skirt. Soul kick started the bike to life and sped towards the hotel. "So why can't I tell anyone you're alive?" Liz shouted in his ear over the wind whipping past them.
"Because if Maka knows I'm alive it will put her in more danger than she already is in" Soul shouted back, dodging people on bicycles and the rare car but mostly pedestrians. "Lord Death brought me back to life, I don't think he told Kid what he was planning. I don't really know how he did it but he is a god so I shouldn't wonder. He said I couldn't contact Maka at all because someone wants to kill her for her soul. My mission is to protect her then everything can go back to normal"
"Who is trying to kill her?" Liz asked as they rode into the underground parking lot of the hotel. Soul whipped around the other cars and into the penthouse parking spot. A spacious square with a small plastic white sign with four thick black letters spelling "pent" on it. Soul shut off his bike and turned to her. A serious scowl on his face. Slight hatred in his eyes
"The witch who killed me" Soul tucked the key into his pocket and pulled Liz off his bike and started towards the elevator. Tugging into the small shaft and jabbed his finger into the main floor button. "Maka's soul is a unique shape and if...prepared properly can be used as a very important ingredient for everlasting youth. So I have to protect her without her even knowing it. There is more but we need to get to my room first. Put this on" Soul shrugged off his blazer and placed it on her shoulders. Liz gasped and jumped away when Soul placed an arm around her waist. He groaned and pulled to his hip.
"I'm trying to resume an old life style before I came here. Just play along!" He hissed as the doors dinged open and the exquisite view of Death hotel came into view. Gold and maroon splashes with crystal droplets filled her eyes. Little dots of forest emeralds were splotched on the richly designed carpet and ocean blues spiralled up the marble pillars.
"Old life style?" Liz muttered before grabbed her butt. Liz widened her eyes as Soul pushed her forward. Growling at her to go along with it. Liz noticed only very rich and elite were in the lobby. She was about to question him a little further until the concierge greeted him. A black and tidy uniform with green trimming and pearl white smile and equally white gloves.
"Mister Evans, welcome back. I see you have a guest would you like a," He thought for the right words "Do not disturb sign?" Liz flushed as Soul chuckled. He grinned and planted a kiss on Liz's cheek.
"That would be quite convenient for us thank you" He bit Liz's ear. "If anyone comes looking for her...especially Death the Kid. Do us a favor and tell them she isn't here. Highly unlikely but still. Tonight is all about you my darling" He used a husky voice and pulled Liz against his body. The concierge nodded and placed a note in his computer. Soul led Liz into the elevator as she took everything in. His last name and his old life style. She had heard of him before Kid found her and Patty. The youngest Evans son was a bit of skirt chaser but was a smart kid. Evans, one the five most richest families in the world, mainly from music but branched out into other rich prospects. A suggestion from the youngest son and was reinforced by the eldest.
"Soul Evans? You are a member of the Evans family? And what the hell was with the touchy stuff over there?" Liz growled at him. Soul took his jacket off her and threw it over his shoulder.
"Good detective work Liz," He smiled as she scowled at him "Sorry for hitting on Death the Kid's girlfriend!" He held up his hands. Liz immediately looked defeated. "Hold on...you two haven't" Liz shook her head.
"He is seeing someone else, someone "symmetrical" freaking prick," Liz mocked his voice. "No it isn't Maka. She barely hangs out with us anymore. I guess after this mission of yours things will kind of be back to normal almost..." Liz's voice wandered. Her eyes looking distanced and slightly glassy.
"About the mission Lord Death gave me," Soul changed the subject. "When I first woke up I recalled what happened to me and was wondering how the fuck I was alive. At first I thought Stein patched me up again until I realized I didn't have a whole lot of room to move around in. I woke up in my coffin so I-"
"You woke up in your own coffin?!" Liz interrupted. Her navy eyes were wide and filled with shock that he wasn't traumatized.
"Yeah, kind of weird huh? Anyway I got myself out by using my soul wave length like a blast. I didn't even know I could do this but when I got to a mirror and talked to Lord Death he explained it all" Soul explained how Death had brought him to life and enhanced his soul. He told the offer he made and how he took it. Liz took it all in as she sat on the leather sofa of the pent house. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You told us all once that you ran away from your family, so how the hell can you afford all of this? Didn't you leave your money behind too?" Liz narrowed her eyes as Soul laughed awkwardly. He obviously didn't, he wasn't an idiot. If he left his wealth behind when he first came to Death City he would've been on the streets.
"I kept the money in my personal bank account and my parents just kept wiring me money. I knew it would raise some suspicion if I used it with Maka she would've questioned where I got it from. Like hell I would tell her my parents wire me money trying me into visit. So uncool" Soul huffed and went into the mini kitchen "So care to explain why you are out at four in the morning?" Soul changed the subject again. Liz shrugged as he handed her a 7-up. She snapped open the tab and gulp down the fizzed beverage.
"I couldn't stand to see Kid and Patty Snogging on the couch while I was reading a magazine. So I walked out around eleven. I don't even think they've noticed I left" Liz gave a weak chuckle. Soul stroked her hair again, hoping she wouldn't cry. "When you left Kid started acting weird, like he was avoiding me...Then he just starts going out with my sister of all people. I heard he asked Maka out first, which royally pissed me off so much. A month after you die he decides it's the perfect time to ask her out. Little prick. He can't even look me in the god damn eye anymore. I get these weird vibes whenever our souls connect and yesterday-" Liz stopped and held herself. Soul smirked and draped his coat over her again.
"It's okay, go on. I've missed out on seven months. I don't wanna just hear about Maka, I missed you guys too" He sat down next to her. Liz gulped down the rest of her drink.
"Well...today, well I guess yesterday, when we were doing routine training I could practically feel their souls getting intimate. It just made me so angry I forced myself out of resonance and transformed back into human form. You probably don't know what it's like to see the person you love get intimate with someone else...it just hurt so much" Liz tugged the blazer around herself.
"Okay , one. Kid is being dick. Before I died it was painfully obvious to everyone that you liked each. I mean like drive a nail through my eye painfully obvious so what he is doing is not cool at all. And two. Remember Matt? Maka's ex boyfriend, you know, the one she gave her V-card to when I was still in the apartment. Yeah I think I'll never get those sounds out of my head. But I do know what it feels like...You should really talk to Kid" Soul sighed and walked toward the stereo. Shutting off the music that had been playing since he first left.
"I wish I could, I can never seem to be in the same room with him without him running away. Patty has no clue about it. I just wish I could disappear for a few days.." Liz sighed.
"This suite does have three bedrooms, just haul up in here for a few days. I need to adjust my sleeping schedule anyway so you'll have plenty of time to get yourself in order" Soul offered. "An offer so you won't tell anyone I'm back and possibly a few odd jobs" He shrugged Liz gladly took it and headed off to one of the bedrooms. Soul looked out the window view of Death city. He could see their apartment. Maka was in there, alone possible, maybe crying. Or maybe with Matt...
"Shut the hell up" He muttered at himself.

For being the first reviews that showed their faces. I'm really happy this story is getting a lot of attention. Maybe it will be like my HTTYD Fan fiction Each mark and get loads of loving reviews. Please continue reading and I hope you like the story.
Yes Liz is Soul's pal for this one, anyone else would've just blabbed...especially Black Star or Patty. And Tsubaki would've felt really bad for keeping it a secret and would've told Maka. No I do not support SoulxLiz as a pairing...how the hell did that one even pop up (though they or may not have...M rated activities with each other)? And No I don't support KidxPatty although they are a pairing for some time until Kid gets too jelly and Patty breaks it off. This is a Soma fic...just saying...takes some time for people to fall in love and I really hate the idea of Soul and Maka being each other's firsts like come on! Soul was a rich handsome guy there is no way he hasn't gotten laid before he came to the DWMA and Maka is pretty cute and made a death scythe. Anyways I hope you will leave a review, favorite and if I'm lucky some fan art? Because this is gonna be Shit hit FANTASTIC
Love
