It was cold as Soul headed home. The midnight air was clear though, and you could see the stars. Sigh. He kept walking. Black star had ranted on and on about him getting to star in a major video game, [or so he thinks, because the guy has blue hair, and a star] and he was bored to death. It was almost eleven o clock anyway, and he knew Maka would kill him if he was late.

The lights were off as he came in. (she must be asleep). He had the urge to peek in on his partner, but decided not to. After all, who knows what she would look like this time. Half the time she slept half naked, and without a care in the world. She's also had many…'incidents'*1 with him, and he wasn't exactly in the mood for one of her crazy moves tonight. He was tired, but because he was bored.

"Me…w…"

"S-soul Kun…"

Soul couldn't hear her from out here. It was cold and she was hurt, but Blair cried out again…

"Mew…! Souuul kuuun…!"

... No reply. It was no use. But she had to help Maka Chan… she had to help Maka! So mustering up all her strength, Blair dragged herself up the stairs to their apartment. Her blood made a path where she had been, she was hurting so badly, but she knew soul-kun would help her. When she reached the top, her energy quit. She couldn't move anymore.

"Mew! Soul-kuuun!

The door opened. B-Blair! He picked up the poor little kitty, and felt something wet… he took his hand out, to see it covered in blood. !. Blair, what happened! Uhh… uhhh… what am I supposed to do? With that, he rushed to the school. He wasn't sure if Jessi would be there, but he had to at least look!


"Hey little girly… giiiiiirrrrlyyyyyy… open your eeeeeeyyyes now…" Her sight was blurry, and the bright light stung as she forced her eyes open. !. [ !points basically mean 'gasp!' or 'oh!' or surprise]

"There you are". Recognition of the voice made her snap back into reality, remembering what had just happened. Terrified, she began realizing what was going on… she couldn't move her hands, and she couldn't feel the ground, but she wasn't sitting either. (What's happening!). A quick defense, she covered up her fear, and tried to hide it with anger.

"I am not afraid of you." She couldn't see the man, although she knew where he was. She tried to hold up her act… but when she saw his soul… his soul was enormous. Three times the size shed ever seen before!

"So you've finally woken up.

"What do you want with me?" she asked defiantley.

"You are Maka Albarn aren't you?" (How does he know me? does he know dad?)(Do I answer?)

"You're the top meister who threatens to destroy my work. Not just you, but those other brats as well… death that kid, his two gangster chick weapons, the black star and his evil demonic tsubaki…

"Tsubaki is not a demo-!"

SLAP! Makas' face began to bleed where his nails cut into her skin. she couldnt look back up at him, but could only think of what he was going to do next. Why was she so afraid of this man? Her head pounded even harder…

"Don't you ever interrupt me." he walked out into the light. His skin was pale and bruised his eyes dark and bloodshot. He continued on.

"I've heard about you. The weak girl with her beloved death scythe… you've defeated so many great things; the sword demon, Arachne, the clown, mosquito… and countless others almost daily. So… I've been watching you. I knew you were friends with Blair, and that you'd come to look here first." He smiled, a gruesome, yellow smile, his teeth sharp like… Souls… (Soul! Soul, please hear my soul wavelength!)

"Wha… what are you… Do you honestly believe your weapon can hear you?" Maka tries even harder, using all her strength to send out her soul wavelength, trying to call for help.

"Grrr…. Stop it!" The man takes out his knife and stabs it into her leg. KYAHhHHH! Tears started pouring down her face. She couldn't move her leg. Now she didn't have a hope of escaping, she could feel the knife had gone through her entire leg, into the table. blood poured off the table to the floor, soaking her skirt. . [- ow face] (It hurts so badly!) Maka cried in pain, and pullled back wincing in agony as she once again stared at the man.

"Would you like to find out what's going to happen to you?" He opens a back room. There were women… DEAD…. Women hanging from what were supposed to be where the meat hangs. Not only were they cut up and destroyed, but they were nude…

"You see…" the man takes his knife and motions as he speaks.

"First… I remove your outerwear. That gives me a lot more... skin room." he cuts up her shirt, and rips it off. He then pulls down her pants, forcing her to curl up, her bare skin shivering from the midnight cold. He unstraps her hands from over her head, and pins her down, locking her onto the table, her arms apart. "Then I strap them to the table… then, this is where things get dramatic. See I put a spell on that little cat friend of yours. She should be getting her memories back about now…" He backed into the dark once more. All she could see was the reflecting light, his glowing eyes, and demonic smile…

*1 im referring to other peoples stories. i know a lot make them have 'occurences' when shes asleep or drunk, so i thought it might be interesting to add it in... no one in particular really though. i li
