Chapter 2: Losing Love

"I'm in love with you!" She yelled at him. She gritted her teeth as she looked him in the eyes. The framiliar blood red orbs showed guilt. Maka hates herself for making him feel bad, she just wanted him to know how she felt when he slept around.

"Maka-" he tried to reason with her, but she turned him away.

"You just can't like me like that, right? I'm still that same flat chested girl from the academy." She answered for him.

"Maka, please don't." He whispered.

"From what I remember you're fine with Blaire and the bars. Just like my father." She said as she walked into her bedroom.

He didn't dare knock. Instead, he went into his bedroom and laid down on his bed. He looked at the picture on his bed side table. It was him and Maka, covered in blood and sweat after a mission.

That was their last one before graduation. It was the worst assignment ever. Soul almost got himself killed, again. Either way, they both lived, Maka kissed Soul on his cheek in a friendly matter. Then, when he joked about her having a crush on him, she Maka chopped him. She was the same Maka as always then, she was smiles and happiness.

He hadn't really noticed any change until he started going out to drink and bringing a few girls home. He thought it was just a protective thing, then he saw the looks Maka gave those girls when she thought he wasn't looking. She said that she just worried for him, that's all. She even faked a small smile- meant for it to be reassuring.

He didn't know why he did it, he just wanted to know how Maka would act if he did anything with another woman. Not that he ever did anything with Maka. Then again, he did think about it, more then he used to. He wanted all those girls to be Maka, always choosing the ones that were short, green eyes or blonde hair. Any slight resemblance.

That stopped when he realized she didn't really care, or, want him to think she didn't anyway. He started making out with Blaire on the couch, if those girls didn't seem to strike a nerve, Blaire did. She changed from the first time she heard Blaire scream out his name, he heard stomps down the hall and then a slam of the front door. He wanted to check on her, but he was so busy being buried deep inside of that cat lady's body. She purred against his touch, he felt sparks against her skin.

The feeling of her clenched tightly around him as Maka stormed out of the apartment. He looked up at the empty ceiling. Wishing he could just apologize and for them to forget that it ever happened. He wanted to hold Maka in his arms, feel her pinned beneath him, or even her sitting on his throbbing member, riding out her orgasm as he shot his hot seed deep inside of her.

His thoughts stopped there. He shouldn't think of her that way. She was his bestfriend. His meister and he would be her best weapon. He would be with her until the end. Of coarse, they'd go down fighting.

He heard a gentle knock at his bedroom door, fallowed by a paw scratch.

"Soul, it's my turn to get tied up in-" he heard Blaire shout as an audible punch was heard. He shot up from his bed and threw open the door.

"Ouch, your crazy girly friend punched me in the face." Blaire said as she rubbed the side of her face. Maka was panting as her fist was still in a ball. Her face was a dark red and her entire body screamed anger and rage. He didn't need any extra soul-stare thing to notice that much.

She then looked innocently up at him, he noticed she was in her yellow jumper and her orange jeans.

She looked into his red orbs for what seemed like an eternity. Then, she ran towards the front door.

"Maka, wait!" Soul yelled as he chased after her. He caught up to her quickly, as he pulled on her sleeve then lowered his hand until it connected with his. She pulled away from him. They were in the middle of a street. It was still close to their home, and it was dark.

"What are you doing?" Soul asked angrily.

"What did you think was going to happen? Bringing all those drunk girls home and expect that I wouldn't care?!" Maka yelled back. She balled up her fist, ready to strike if it ever came to that. She knew deep inside she would never be able to really hurt him.

"What I do in my personal life isn't your concern." He said bitterly as he ran his hand through his silver locks. She shivered at the memory of what happened with Stein, she could still feel the after shocks of her orgasm.

"Every guy is the exact same." She whispered glaring at Soul.

"All you guys know how to do is to sleep around." She looked down at the ground, tears in her eyes. She then looked up at Soul, he felt his heart crumble into tiny bits.

"Maka, I'm sorry." Soul said back, he reached for her hand, she took a step back.

"Every guy I've ever trusted- I hate you!" She screamed. She let a tear fall, she just wanted to be in Soul's arms, she wanted to feel his body heat wrapped around her. She wanted him.

"Maka-" he said as he walked closer to her. She slumped down and onto the cold ground. Soul heard a bit of thunder, then saw lightning. The news had reported a huge rain storm tonight, they needed to get back home.

Soul kneeled by Maka, wrapping an arm around her. She was shivering, but didn't care. Her tears warmed most of her face, and she wanted to pull away from him, she just didn't have the strength.

"Maka, I'm sorry." He whispered again, he looked down at her blond hair. It wasn't in its usual identical pigtails, it was just down. She looked a bit older and also younger at the same time.

"Don't- just go home. I'll walk by myself." She said as she kept her head down. He sighed as he stood up. He looked at the bite mark on her neck again. Was it even consensual? Soul felt like ripping the unnamed man's soul out himself. He didn't want to ask any questions. If something was wrong she would have already told him.

"Fine, just hurry home." He said as he walked back towards their house. Maka felt her tears drop onto her hands. She felt someone block the rain from falling on her. She looked up and saw one of her friends.

"Crona?" She asked as he held out a hand. She took it and stood up.

"Hiya." He said nervously. He rubbed the back of his head as he looked at their still attached hands. Holding onto eachother. It gave him a sense of protection. He smiled at her.

"What're you doing here in the street?" Maka asked, faking a smile. Their hands fell apart.

"I was taking a walk, and um, I saw you on the ground." Maka smiled at her friend.

"What were you doing on the ground?" Crona asked.

"Oh, well, I um, I was wondering around and I guess I just fell." Maka lied. Crona smiled back.

"Are you hungry? I um, saw an opened restaurant not to far from here." Crona offered. He got a job as a custodian at the academy, while Maka and Soul were trying to become teachers.

"Sure, sounds like fun." Maka said, as she smiled. They walked to the restaurant together. Crona held his arm against his side, a nervous look on his face. He thought of Maka as a mother, someone who looked after him. He didn't know why he was still a bit nervous around her, or anyone else in their friends group.

They continued walking down he street, until they finally had reached their destination. It was a 24-hour fast food chain restaurant. Maka didn't really enjoy fast food, but this was also for Crona. He held open the door for Maka, who thanked him as they entered the restaurant. They walked up to the counter and looked at the menu.

"Hmm, I'd just like to have a soda, what would you like Crona?" Maka asked as she smiled at her friend.

"Uh, um, I'd like soda too, and um, two ice cream cones." Crona answered, also ordering for Ragnarok.

With a smile, Maka dug into her pocket and pulled out the money, she placed it into the hands of the cash register, who looked framiliar but she couldn't place his face.

"Do I know you?" Maka asked as she looked into the light blue orbs. Maka could feel herself melt at the sight. He was so attractive.

"Wait, you're Justin Law! The youngest student to ever become a death scythe at the academy, not to mention all by yourself." Maka said in complete awe. She remembered the first time she'd met him. It was in the small village protected by golems. He protected her, Crona, and Soul. He saved them from death.

"What is a death scythe doing here?" Maka asked again. He smiled at her.

"Since I'm not formally resigned from my duties at the academy, I'm working in Death city as a restaurant manager until tha all mighty lord death need my further assistance." He explained. He still had his headphones in, which made his voice a bit louder then necessary. Maka debated rather or not to sleep with him, but with Crona right next to her, she wasn't comfortable with flirting. Though, he was attractive.

"Here's your food and drinks." Another person said while handing them their order.

"Crona, you finally did some good for once, you worthless idiot." Ragnarok complained while he took his ice cream and started eating it.

"Well enjoy and have a nice night." Justin said as he smiled.

"Oh, you too!" Maka said as they exited the restaurant. They walked down the street, neither of them cared, with Ragnarok's great strength, if they got into it any trouble, it would be delt with. They walked down the street until reaching Maka's and Soul's house.

"Well, see you later." Maka smiled as she opened the front door.

"Bye." Crona said as he continued to walk by himself. Maka felt a wave of guilt. She ran after her friend.

"Wait, Crona, it's really late, would you want to stay over with me and Soul? We could watch some movies and sleep in the living room." Maka offered. Crona smiled.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to be a bother." Crona said as he looked down at the ground.

"It's no bother, besides, if you say no if I'll just walk you home anyway." Maka said with a proud smile. Crona looked back at the house, the door was closed again.

"Uh, oh, okay." Crona said with a smile. They walked back to the house together. Maka held the door open for Crona, who silently thanked her.

"Okay, that's all the blankets." Maka said with a smile as she walked past Soul's bedroom. She didn't hear anything besides a slightly silenced moan. It was Soul, so he was either sleeping, or had company.

She didn't bother to check for any other souls in the house. She didn't want to know. She dropped the pile of blankets on the floor next to Crona. The decided to only watch funny movies so Crona wouldn't get any nightmares. Either way it was fun. They stayed up until Crona and Ragnarok both fell asleep, then Maka turned off the tv and made sure the door was locked before she too fell asleep.

They woke up to the smell of burnt sausage. Soul was trying to cook again.

"Soul, what's that horrible stench?" Maka complained as she wiped the sleep from her eyes. She plugged her nose and stuck out her tongue at the smell.

"Grow up, I just burnt something." Soul said as he looked at her. She looked so much younger when she had just woken up. He gave her a slight smile as he stirred the burnt meat in the pan.

"Hand me that plate." He said as he motioned to the table. Maka nodded as she stood up. She grabbed the plate and put it on the counter next to Soul.

"The academy's orientation is later today." Soul said as he placed the sausage on the plate.

"Yeah, are you still going?" Maka asked, she already knew she was going. All of her friends were, and she was still connected with the school. She didn't have a legitimate job there but if Lord Death needed her, she would be there in a second.

-at the orientation-

New students filled the ballroom, Maka could barely see her friends with the large group of children and teenagers. See say Hiro, who worked as a teacher, wave at her. She waved back. They walked closer to each other, both of them smiled at the dancing children and the older teachers.

"Not to long ago, it was our class dancing around." Hiro said with a laugh. He definitely looked the same, but somehow more muscular. You wouldn't want to find him in a dark alley.

"Yeah, I remember." Maka said with a small laugh.

"Remember when you and Excalibur became bestfriends?" Maka asked, her laughter increased. Hiro simply nodded.

"Yep, then he started sneezing and the deal was off." Hiro finished, his hair shined slightly under the lighting.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Patty asked as she drank a glass of champagne.

"Who knows? Why's she even hanging out with him, he's a total loser." Soul said back, as he glared at the two laughing people. One his bestfriend, the other, a sorry loser who'd die a virgin.

"Why's Soul grumpy? S'not like he'd ever make a move on her." Black*star said as he finished his forth glass of champagne.

"Who said anything about making a move?!" Soul yelled as he stood up eruptedly. Nearby people stared, then just got on with the party.

"Turn around." Liz said back as Kidd joined the group. He smiled, but then it was wiped from his face as he and Soul both saw Maka dancing with Hiro.

"What's his issue?" Hiro asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"He's probably drunk." Maka answered as she tightened her arms around his neck. They looked into eachother's eyes for a moment, their lips had slightly gotten closer subconsciously. With Soul still staring daggers, Maka kissed Hiro, who tightened his own grip against her. Their kiss broke apart, leaving them both speechless.

"Who knew Hiro would be a good kisser?" Maka whispered, slightly laughing.

"You know me, always practicing until I'm mediocre." Hiro said jokingly. Maka let out a giggle, then kissed Hiro once again.

"That damned Hiro." Soul said through gritted teeth as he stared daggers at them.

"Uh, why don't you take a walk outside." Liz suggested, earning a death glare. Soul stood up and left, while Kidd, Patty, black*star, and Tsubaki all decided to dance. Liz watched, taking slow sips from her champagne glass.

"Hey, why's a pretty young lady all by herself and not on the dance floor?" A mysterious stranger asked her as he stuck out his hand. Liz smiled as she took it, she let him lead her to the dance floor.

Maka tightened her arms around him as their lips moved together in perfect sync.

"I was wondering if you'd want to take this somewhere private." Hiro suggested, with a small smile.

"Sure." She said back, as he took her hand and led her out of the building. Then, Hiro pushed Maka against the wall, crashing his lips onto hers as he gently massaged her breasts. She let out a small moan against his touch.

"Hiro, our old professors are watching." Maka whispered, as she looked into his beautiful ocean blue eyes. He brought his face closer to Maka, who knew she needed him to continue to touch and kiss her.

"Let them." He whispered in her ear, making Maka blush as goosebumps spread all over her body.

-the next morning-

Maka opened her eyes, she was in her bedroom, a warm arm securely around her.

"Hiro." She whispered as the memories of the previous night came flooding in like a tidal wave. Wait, wasn't Hiro married to some girl who was in the class below them? Maka got out of his welcoming grasp, she shook with rage as she found his jeans. She knew it was an invasion of privacy, but she hates cheaters.

She found his wedding ring, in his back pocket.

"You asswhole." Maka whispered as she threw a nightgown on. She resisted the urge to kill him, murder wasn't something she was fond of anyway.

-a few hours later-

"How's things with you and Soul?" Tsubaki asked Maka as Patty and Liz joined the group.

"We're not getting along, after he caught me and Hiro, I doubt he'd start talking to me today." Maka said as she let out a pained sigh.

"We have something that'll make you better!" Patty exclaimed as Liz slammed a bag in Maka's lap.

"You guys didn't have to got through all that trouble." Maka said as she looked up at her friends. Liz sat down on the empty chair next to Maka as Patty sat across the small table next to Tsubaki.

"C'mon, you don't even know what it is yet!" Liz said happily as she gave Maka a pleading smile.

"Fine, fine." Maka said as she pulled out the most beautiful black cocktail dress she'd ever seen. Tsubaki smiled at her friends as Maka gasped in awe.

The dress was perfectly symmetrical and absolutely stunning.

"We all chipped in, Patty and I had to work double shifts at the Chupa Cabra's, Tsubaki just got a raise at teaching in the DWMA ." Liz said, her voice making it obvious that Tsubaki had it easier.

"Well, thank you all so much." Maka said with a smile. She felt bad that they spent money on such a fine dress, she knew she was going to cherish it as much as she could.
