Summary (as promised in the other summary ^^) : Maka Albarn ventured deep into the Underworld in order to find her mother, Kami. On the way, she unluckily encounters a shinigami named Daru. He and her make a deal that if she can get him some souls then he will give her her mother. Maka agrees and her first mission was to enrol into Shibusen, school for Meisters and Weapons. Maka cautiously keeps her distance from everyone at the academy but especially her partner/weapon Soul Eater Evans. What happens when she starts making friends? And what will happen when they start opening up her heart? The answers' simple. Nothing but darkness awaits.

Chapter 2

The Survival Test (no weapon forms allowed)

"The time gone cannot be brought back…

But if I'm allowed to,

I want to be by your side one more time…"

Weeks before…

Maka's POV

"This is so not happening!" Maka complained.

"Get used to it cuz it is!" replied Soul.

"How the hell did we end up getting chased by that shithole?"

"How should I know?"

"You're the one who got him mad, remember?"

"No I didn't! All I said was his got a freakin fat head!"

Maka and Soul bolted through the forest, with the being that was once a man close behind them.

"I DON'T HAVE A FAT HEAD!" argued the monster behind us. From what Maka could see, he had blood red eyes, much like Soul's, and other than that he just looked like a big black wolf. With a big head. Genetic mutation probably. He was once a power – hungry scientist.

"Yeah yeah whatever! You're not even supposed to be talking to us! We're the ones who're trying to kill you remember?" yelled Soul.

Maka punched his shoulder.

"Don't say that! It'll only make him chase us faster!" she snapped.

"ENOUGH!" The monster jumped in front of the two and roared ferociously.

"Great! Look what you made him do!" blamed Maka.

"Goddamn this being a survival test!"

The monster roared. "I'LL EAT YOU TWO STUPID HUMANS!"

"YAHOO! ENOUGH OF THIS STUPID BLAND CONVERATION! DON'T BE SUCH COMMONORS! THE SPOTLIGHT SHOULD SHINE ON THE GREAT ME!"

Maka slapped her forehead.

"Here he comes…"

Black Star appeared in front of us, laughing his usual idiotic, so-full-of-himself laugh.

"SKY ABOVE, SKY BELOW, I ALONE STAND ALMIGHTY! A HALO OF LIGHT WILL BE –"

"Will ya hurry up and beat the crap outta him already?" said Maka impatiently.

"Don't interrupt the Great Me! You ruined my entrance speech!"

"Yo Black Star! Just beat the dude already!" called out Soul.

"I'll kill him when I want to!"

Black Star jumped and kicked the monster on the face.

"Hyyyyahhhh!"

Black Star's foot met the side of the monster's face.

It collapsed with a loud roar and a heavy thud.

"Such a small fry is no match or a big star like me! Nyahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Hey Black Star where's Tsubaki?" Maka asked as the three walked through the forest together.

"Oh we split up like half an hour ago."

"What? You're not supposed to split up with your partner in this test!"

"Don't worry we'll find her soon anyway!" exclaimed Black Star confidently with a big stupid grin on his face.

"THROW WHATEVER MONSTERS YOU HAVE AT ME FOR I AM A PERSON WHO WILL TRANSCEND GOD!"

"Black Star shut up! Do you want to get out of here alive?" Maka said.

"THERE'S NOT A THING THAT I CAN'T BEAT! SO COME AT ME BITCHES! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Black Star spoke too soon.

There in front of them was the one… The only…

"EH?" said Maka.

"Tacky…" commented Soul.

"Ugh…" replied Black Star.

"Hmm?" it said.

Black immediately turned around and made a face.

"Dude, what's with the creepy look..?" said Soul, slightly tilting his head.

"We're no match for this guy…" muttered Black Star.

"Did he just admit he's no match for THAT thing?" Maka said approaching the little white, pointy nosed creature.

It pointed its cane at Maka's face. "I will ask you: who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Eh? I'm Ma –"

"Would you like to hear my heroic tale?"

"Don't point the cane at me!" exclaimed Maka slapping it away.

"Would you like to hear my heroic tale?"

"Get your cane out of my face you white, pantless rabbit!"

"FOOL! My story started in the 12th century!"

"S-Shut… Up…"

"Ah indeed, you must celebrate Excalibur's birthday in a grand manner!"

"What the hell is he going on about..?" thought Maka twitching.

"I've had enough." Maka took out a thick book from her pocket. "MAKA – CH –"

"Maka don't get carried away!" said Soul holding her back.

"That stupid white thing with that that weird retarded nose is so annoying!"

"We've come up to our last resort…" said Black Star.

"Eh?" replied Soul and Maka.

"RUN THE HELL OUTTA HERE!"

Black Star tore past them and disappeared back the way they came.

"B-Black Star! Don't leave us with THAT!" cried Maka pointing at the white thing called Excalibur.

"Man I can't take this anymore..! Maka just goddamn run!" Soul hurriedly said.

The two turned and sped through the forest and away from Excalibur.

Soul's POV
"Man this stupid survival test doesn't allow me to turn into a weapon… If I did I would've sliced that uncool white thing already!" thought Soul.

"Where did Black Star go? Whatta ditcher..!" said Maka angrily.

"So where are we?" asked Soul.

The two stopped for a breath and Maka took out a map from her pocket.

"Um… Did I ever tell you that I can't read maps..?" mumbled Maka.

"What? How are we gonna get out now?"

"I don't know!"

Suddenly there was the sound of someone laughing from somewhere.

"Is that… Black Star?" said Maka looking around.

"Yeah probably. His laugh is the only thing you can hear this far."

Soul and Maka headed towards the sound of laughter until it got louder and louder.

Sure enough there was Black Star and Tsubaki with Stein.

"You pass. The survival test is over." Congratulated (or what Soul liked to think) Stein.

"How did you get out?" Maka asked Black Star.

"THE GREAT ME FOUND A SMART WAY TO GET OUT! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" replied Black Star.

"Uh… Ok…"

"You four head back to the dorms. The others should come soon." Said Stein.

Maka, Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki walked back to Shibusen dorms where the two pairs separated.

"WELL I'M OFF TO MY ROOM WHERE I WELL HAVE A GOOD BATH FOR MY HARD WORK!" exclaimed Black Star.

"The only good work you've done, Black Star was telling us to run away from Excalibur…" muttered Maka.

"Well, bye Maka and Soul!" said Tsubaki smiling as they reached their room.

"Bye Tsubaki!" Maka waved.

"Soul I'm taking a shower first alright?" said Maka opening the door to their room.

"Yeah sure." Replied Soul slumping on the couch. "Don't take forever in the bath alright?"

"Yeah yeah whatever…"

Maka went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

Maka's POV

Maka turned on the tap in the bathtub and took off her clothes. When the water was done, she stepped in and lied down, resting her body under the water.

"How much longer do I have to stay here..?" thought Maka to herself. "How many goddamn souls does he want?"

Maka rubbed soap onto her arms. "I don't like it here… Everyday I have to smile and act like I actually belong there. I'm tired… But I can't stop now. If I do… Mum will… I sure hope shinigamis keep their side of the deal…"

Maka washed herself clean and got out of the bathtub. She dried herself, slipped on some PJs and went outside.

"Hey Soul! I finished with the bathroom!" Maka called out.

Soul got off the couch and headed for the bathroom. "Right. Thanks."

"I'm going to bed. Night."

"Night."

Maka went to her room and collapsed onto her bed.

"Can't wait till tomorrow…" she thought sarcastically.

Maka took out a black notebook from under her pillow and opened it up.

The pages were blank.

"Looks like he hasn't said anything yet…"

Maka closed it and shoved the book back under her pillow. She pulled over her covers and closed her eyes.

"I should get to sleep… Tomorrow's gonna be hell of another day…"
