5 years later...
"Free attacked you again?" a woman with lightly tanned skin and sky-blue hair and eyes asked. Maka nodded.
"You need a Guardian..." a woman with shoulder length black hair and three white stripes on the left side with yellow eyes commented. A woman with long black hair and dark purple eyes sighed.
"For once I agree with Willow." The woman added.
"But Sada...If she has a Guardian she would have to become a Blood donor too." The blue haired girl told the purple-eyed woman.
"Willow. It's the only way to make sure that Maka's safe." Sada said. Willow sighed.
"What do you think Kaido?" Stein asked the yellow-eyed girl. Kaido shrugged.
"I'll go with whatever Sada says." Stein nodded.
"So...who will she have to stay with than?" Marie asked. Sada looked at Marie.
"Soul Eater Evans." Marie nodded but slowly. Sada pulled Maka into a hug.
"It'll be alright Maka." Sada whispered as Maka rested her head on Sada's shoulder.
"You'll stay with me until we can get Soul to come over and pick you up ok?" Maka nodded.
"This is your place?" Maka asked Sada. They were now standing in the room of an apartment.
"Nope. This is Soul's place. We found him yesterday and he said that he would be in today and that you could unpack all your stuff in the room closest to the kitchen." Sada informed.
"I live out in the country with my half-sister Chrona and my mother Medusa." Sada smiled. Sada then handed Maka two sets of keys.
"This is Soul's set that he asked me to hold on for him while he was away...and this is your set." Maka took the sets of keys.
"I'll see you later Mint!" Sada giggled before leaving. Maka went to the room that was said to be hers and unpacked quickly. She then looked around the apartment. What really caught her attention was the small shelf full of books. Maka looked over each book before selecting one from the shelf. She sat on the couch. Her legs dangling over the arm rest and her head rests on the cushion of the couch.
"Eater!" A white haired man with crimson-red eyes turned his head and saw a girl with long black hair and dark purple eyes launched herself at the male as he stepped off the bus.
"Sada! This isn't cool!" the male complained.
"Oh! Poor Soul! His coolness just went down!" Sada teased while showing mock shock. Soul glared lazily at the female.
"...Do you want me to beat you woman?" Soul growled.
"I am three thousand years older then you Eater! You'll never beat me!" Sada informed as she grabbed his hand and led him farther down the parking lot. Willow was there leaning against an orange motorcycle. Soul stopped and his eyes widened slightly.
"You didn't," Soul smirked as Sada smiled her answer.
"I got Willow to drive mine over while I brought yours over here for ya!" Soul ruffled the girl's hair as she complained. Willow bumped fists with him.
"Long time no see Eater!" Willow said after.
"How are the others?" Soul asked.
"You'll find out during the gathering. It's in three days. At Sada's place. You have to bring Maka with you." Willow informed. Soul frowned. Right. He was here to protect a girl called Maka. Funny...He felt like he had heard that name before but couldn't remember where.
"Maka is already at your place." Sada told him before he sped off. Soul finally arrived at the parking lot of the apartments. He parked his motorcycle then walked upstairs quickly. He turned the handle of the door, no surprised that it was opened. He stepped inside and slipped off his shoes. He frowned. Where was this Maka chick? He poked his head in the room she was supposed to have. Not there but all her stuff was there and unpacked. Soul was just about to sit on the couch when he saw the now sleeping girl. The book was resting closed on her stomach as she slept. Soul tilted his head slightly to the left as he took in her figure. Ash-blonde hair with a petite body but amazing long legs. It didn't help that she was wearing mini shorts. They showed off her curves. He noticed that she had a small chest.
"Tiny-tits." Soul mumbled softly. He was kneeling beside her when he said this. He saw her face frown in anger before she unconsciously grabbed the book on her stomach with her hand and slammed it into his head.
"MAKA-CHOP!" Soul groaned and held his head as he cracked open an eye. He snatched the book from her and placed it on the table behind him.
"That was un-cool." Soul mumbled again before sliding his arms under her legs and her back. He picked her up and watched as she cuddled closer to him, her head in the crook of his neck now as she sighed happily. Soul blushed heavily as he walked into her room and set her on her bed.
"I don't know you...why am I blushing?" Soul asked himself quietly as he shut her door.
"You wanna know what?" Sada asked over the phone. Soul had decided to call up the Vampiress.
"When a Vampire has feelings for a human they have never met before. What does it mean?" Soul asked. He could just see Sada frowning. Her face expression could almost pass as a kitten's frown expression with her eyes didn't show their coldness.
"Soul Mates." Sada replied. Soul could hear her flipping the pages of one of her many books.
"Here it is. In the book of Dark Wanderers." Sada started.,
"The Children of the Night include: Vampires, Were-wolves, and other night related creatures. Children of the Dawn include: Vampires (that use Human Donors or are Guardians) and the other creatures that do not like to move about during the Night. When a child of the Night (or Dawn) encounter a human and have felt like they have known them before (even if they haven't met them before in the human's or their life time) then they may have had a friendship with them in the Human's former life. If the Children of the Night (or Dawn) have feelings (romantic feelings) and blush, feel happiest around that human, possessive, protective, lusting after them, ECT... then that Human is said to be their Soul Mate." Sada finished. Soul could hear her flipping through more pages.
"One more thing." Sada said before starting again.
"Soul Mates: If a Human and a Child of the Night (or Dawn) or attracted to one another when they haven't even met before (or grew up around that person but always felt something towards them when they met) then that is their Souls Resonating. If it happens to be a Guardian becoming attracted to it's charge then it is a sure sign of Soul Mates, seeing as Guardians are usually cold towards their charges until they are not needed to be that Human's Guardian." Sada finished. She closed the book.
"That's it. Why did you want to know?" Sada asked sweetly.
"A friend asked me this question but I thought you might have an answer seeing as you own pretty much every book of our existence." Soul swore he knew she was smirking on the other end of the phone.
"Pretty much. Anyways...Maka works at cafe just two blocks from your apartment really. I checked out where she worked and everything just for you. It should all be in that box on your desk in your room Eater." Sada told her white haired Vampire friend.
"Thanks Sada." Soul told her.
"No problem!" Sada said before she hung up. Soul banged his head on the kitchen table.
"Fuck. My. Life." Soul groaned before he lifted his head. Maka was stirring in her sleep in her bedroom. It helped since he was a Vampire and all. His hearing was heightened as was his sense of smell, sight and strength. But unlike Sada. He lacks the "Gifts". Only certain Vampires are "Born" or "Turned" with Gifts. Sada's "gift" is that she is able to read minds, which includes emotions and body language. Willow's "gift" was to be able to talk to others with her mind. There were many others that he knew that had "gifts" or powers for what Humans would call them. Soul paused for a second. Maka. Where had he heard that name before...now he remembered as a rare smile graced his lips. This Maka Albarn...was that little girl he saved in the forest a couple years ago. Soul grinned even more. Finally. Her sweet moss green eyes had haunted his dreams since that day. Now he could finally look into them again...seeing as it's his job to protect from the other Dark Wanderers...like Council Elder Medusa and her older sister. He watched as Maka walked into the kitchen. He noticed her hair was now down and she wore pyjama shorts and a baggy shirt. Soul froze. That was his shirt. What was she doing with it? Soul then could faintly smell Sada's scent on his shirt. Sada must've brought it to Maka's room for some reason. Then He must've sighed or something because she spins around and her eyes are alert.
"Who are you?" Maka asks. He stares into her moss green eyes before answering.
"I'm Soul Eater Evans. Your Guardian."
