FW: Crap we didn't do a disclaimer last time did we? Okay well here it goes. Neither I or nor Jaderoni4life own Soul Eater in any way. I'm a bit depressed today because someone had to burst my writing bubble about how I can't make certain females strong woman if they have a man. Even if she doesn't depend on him all the time.
Jaderoni4life: That has nothing to do with this!
FW: I like Kima! And Soma (though not as much as Kima). Anyway that has nothing to do with this story. Thank you to everyone who has decided to follow and favorite the story.
Jaderoni4life: On to the story!
Maka woke up the next day and glanced at her clock. Crap! She and Soul were supposed to meet the others at the gym.
She rushed to put on her clothes and then threw some toast into the toaster and knocked on Soul's door. "Soul hurry up! We already missed working out with the others."
She grabbed some toast with raspberry jam. She frowned as she heard nothing coming from Soul's room. She opened his door slowly. "Soul?"
AN: Jaderoni4life wouldn't let me put Soul-kun here because she refuses to believe that Maka is even half Japanese. Until she sees Kami she will refuse to believe it because Maka doesn't look Japanese. Even though in the Manga Black Star says that he and Maka are Japanese. She says he is lying.
Her eyes widened. Soul's bed, while messy, was empty. She looked, his bag and black jacket were gone.
She cursed under her breath and grabbed her bags. She put her hair in the usual pigtails. And pulled out her cell to text Tsubaki.
Is Soul with you guys?
Yeah. Said he didn't want to wake you.
Maka shook her head and ran. Luckily all that stair climbing to get to school came in handy.
She arrived in the class room just as Kim and Jackie came in with a copy of the Death Times. Soul looked up from the paper with amusement.
"I don't know which shocks me more, the fact that you woke up earlier than me or the fact that you are at school early." Maka laughed sitting in front of him as they all started to look at the paper. "And reading too. Are my bookworm traits rubbing off on you?"
"Are you kidding? The new Dear Death writer is awesome!" Black Star declared.
"Okay, most shocking thing of the day is Black Star can read." Kid chuckled.
"Check out this chick, she thinks she might be a lesbian," Liz chuckled. Maka noted a slight flinch in her soul. "Good advice though."
"How can that work?" Black Star asked confused.
"I'll explain it to you later." Tsubaki whispered with a blush.
"I agree with the advice she gave," Soul muttered. Maka raised an eyebrow at him, but said nothing.
Soul had never told anyone but Maka, but his brother Wes was bisexual, mostly liking guys though.
Black Star and Soul burst out laughing when they read the next one. Black Star fell to the floor and Maka glared at Soul.
"I can't believe that your father wrote to Dear Death about you." Soul laughed, finally calming down to a chuckle.
Maka blushed horrible as Ox and Kilik laughed too. Havar gave her an apologetic look.
"I expected him to hit on her," Ox laughed. Kim elbowed her boyfriend, Ox, and Jackie just rolled her eyes. Maka hung her head in shame and became redder.
"Stupid Papa," Maka mumbled.
Soul slung an arm around his meister and gave her a cool smirk. "Calm down. Maybe he will take her advice and leave you alone a little."
"Who said that the writer was a girl?" Kid frowned.
"Come on, anyone who writes these things is a girl," Ox rolled his eyes. "The article used to be called Dear Lady Death."
"Then why would they change it?" Kim challenged. Though she also believed it was a girl. "People say it is someone at the school. Not sure if it is a teacher or what. They say if it is a student they must be in the Eat class."
"I've got bets going on who it is," Liz chuckled.
"Can we just get to reading some more?" Soul asked.
They read the letter from S or the Snowman.
"Must be a girl, I mean only another girl would know how much we have on our minds." Liz muttered.
"Wonder who the guy is?" Kid muttered.
"How uncool, a guy asking for advice from a columnist." Soul muttered.
"Does it really matter?" Maka asked. "There is a reason people change their names."
"Still uncool," Soul muttered.
"Well it has to be someone with a female meister and a male weapon." Liz muttered. She snapped. "There is someone in one of the other classes with a weapon with ice powers."
"Whatever, Patty why don't you read the next one?" Kid muttered.
Patty nodded and read the one from Meister in Love.
"Damn, that must suck." Ox muttered.
Maka nodded. "But doesn't the person deserve to be happy?"
Soul glared at her as her phone buzzed.
She glanced down at it and frowned. All that it said was E.
"I'll be right back," Maka muttered getting up. She walked down into the hall and found an empty room. Unaware that Soul was following her.
"I thought we agreed for you not to call me while I'm at school." Maka hissed.
"Did you not see the response we got?" a male voice asked. Maka knew this wasn't her editor, but the owner of the paper. "We sold more papers than ever before. You're in box is flooding with e-mails! Congratulations."
"Thanks," Maka said with a slight blush.
"You still haven't told anyone have you?"
"No, not yet." Maka muttered.
"Remember to answer some of those tonight and send us what you think should be published."
"I will," Maka agreed hanging up.
She turned and jumped when she saw Soul standing there.
"Are you spying on me?" Maka joked.
"It's you isn't it?" Soul asked darkly.
"I'm what?" Maka asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're Meister in Love," Soul accused her. "You've been keeping things from me lately and this is it. You've gotten a boyfriend behind my back! You've been lying to me!"
"Soul, what are you talking about?" Maka frowned.
"You got a boyfriend and never told me! How can you do that?" Soul hissed.
"Soul, I don't have a boyfriend and if I did why would I keep that from you?" Maka challenged. "You're my partner. We tell each other practically everything. Why would you even think that?"
"The way it was signed, all formal, and then the loyalty comment." Soul growled. "Unless you have another weapon."
"Soul, I would never replace you and I would tell you if I had someone else." Maka sighed. "I've been busy that's all."
"Yeah, I guess. Like you could get a boyfriend, let alone someone cooler than me." Soul smirked.
"I could get a boyfriend if I wanted, I just don't want or need one right now." Maka told him. "I've got more important things to do, unless you want me to forget about making you a death scythe."
Soul scoffed. "But what are you keeping from me?"
"I've just been busy." Maka told him. "I'm not ready to talk about it just yet. I mean I'm working on making you a death scythe and so much more. We good?"
Soul nodded and followed her out of the room. He didn't believe her when she said she wasn't dating someone or that she wasn't Meister in Love. He didn't want to lose his partner and best friend.
He hadn't had many friends growing up, Maka had been his first real friend. He didn't want to lose her. She was his Maka.
He sat down next to her. They had a little while before class.
"Hey, you guys up for basketball after school?" Soul asked his friends.
"Maka and I had some extra training we were going to do," Black Star said.
Soul raised an eyebrow, but they both shrugged it off.
"Patty called a family meeting," Liz smirked. "Asura, Kid, her and myself."
Patty nodded.
"I have some stuff to do." Tsubaki lied.
Soul frowned. Why was everyone up to something but him?
Maka dodged as Black Star rushed at her. The she swept under his legs, knocking him down and pinned him.
"I win," Maka smirked getting off of him.
They had been sparing for the last hour. She smiled and helped him up. Maka had on a pair of sweats shorts and her sports bra. Black Star, who was sweating had on his shorts.
They went over to get a drink of water.
"I think Tsubaki is keeping things from me."
Maka looked up with a raised eyebrow. "Why is that?"
"She has been quiet lately and last night she told me that she was hanging out with you after school today." Black Star sighed with a shake of his head. "Do you know what she is doing?"
Maka nodded. "Yeah, but she told me not to tell you. I'm sorry Black Star but it is something that is best for her to tell you herself. Maybe just casually ask her about it."
Black Star nodded. "Soul seemed more possessive about you than usual lately."
Maka sighed. "Yeah. I think something is up with him."
Her phone buzzed. She smiled, it was a message from Tsubaki.
Patty has called an emergency girl meeting tomorrow. Deathbucks, in the morning before school.
K.
She told Black Star goodbye and headed to the showers. She smiled at three of the girls from the Not class. One of which she knew.
Tsubaki and Mifune sat in his apartment, both with tea in their hands. The apartment reminded Tsubaki much of her own, only with more swords and rooms.
"There is something you wanted to discuss?" Mifune asked.
"Angela isn't here right?" Tsubaki asked.
"She is playing with some friends." Mifune smiled. "What is wrong?"
"I like you a lot, but lately in sex I've been wanting more." Tsubaki blushed. "I was thinking maybe I could be in control…sort of a dominatrix thing."
Tsubaki waited for him to be upset, but nothing. She looked up from her tea to find him smirking.
"Sounds fun," Mifune smiled.
"Also I need to tell Black Star." Tsubaki sighed.
"I know," Mifune said. "That part may be hard."
Maka arrived home with a big smile on her face. She saw Soul sitting there on the couch looking bored.
She smiled and sat down next to him.
"Guess what I got us," Maka sang.
"What?" Soul asked.
"A mission that involves us and a witch," Maka smirked.
Soul looked up. "Really?"
Maka nodded, bursting with joy. "You're going to be a death scythe!"
Soul smirked. "Cool. Want to play video games?"
Maka nodded. She picked up the controller. After Soul had kicked her butt at a video game the first time she had ever played one, she became determined to get better. She had worked hard and now was able to kick his and Black Star's butts. So often he would ask her to be his partner on games.
"You're the coolest partner, you know that?" Soul smirked.
"I know, same to you," Maka smiled.
Liz dragged Kid into the living room. When they had gotten home they had found that Asura had moved all of the paintings and photos so that they weren't symmetrical. Causing Kid to freak out.
Asura just smirked from his chair as Liz pushed Kid onto the couch.
"What's wrong little brother?" Asura smirked.
"You," Kid growled trying to lung at Asura, but Liz grabbed him.
"Sit your asses down now!" Patty said in her serious scary voice. "I have something serious to discuss and you're all going to listen or I'll break your fucking necks."
They all blinked at her with wide eyes and did as she told them to.
"Now, on to what I was going to say," Patty said cheerfully. "I've been dating Asura for about seven months."
Kid cringed at the number.
"Go on Patty," Liz smiled.
"I'm pregnant!" Patty clapped.
Liz's eyes widened and she froze, blood draining from her face. Her little sister was pregnant? With the kishins baby?!
Kid looked horrified.
Asura for once had nothing to say, he was in shock.
"You're sure?" Liz said after a while.
Patty nodded.
"When did this happen?" Asura asked.
"That night about four weeks ago when you took those pills," Patty giggled.
Asura frowned. "What pills?"
"Uhh…Giraffe?" Patty said throwing her hands up a little.
"You got my weapon pregnant!" Kid yelled. He stood up and pointed at his brother. "You don't even remember! And you did it in an unsymmetrical amount of time. What do you expect to do about this?"
"You better not abandon her!" Liz screamed.
"Of course I wouldn't abandon the child," Asura told her. "We'll continue as we are."
"Wait, if she's pregnant then you can't fight. If you can't fight I can't use you." Kid frowned, slumping back onto the couch.
"You could get temporary weapons?" Liz suggested weakly.
"Or get over your OCD," Asura grumbled.
"Tried that, the therapist ended up needing therapy," Liz told him. "Actually no one has seen him for a while. We left him with Patty."
They all sat in silence. The thoughts of this weighed heavily on their minds.
Before bed Maka checked her e-mail. For the most part just the standard letters, nothing too interesting or taxing. Most were about how to get someone's attention or how to enhance soul resonances. And another annoying one word letter from the editor.
