We stood there, just glaring at one another. In front of me stood my savior from the evil golem but had now turned to the kishin's side. The both sides had changed since the day he saved us. He was now with kishin Asura and I was standing alone, without a weapon to wield but myself.
''Where is your weapon?'' He asked kindly like his old self as he looked at me, ''or have you been like a naughty child and knocked out your protectors and believing you can actually beat me by yourself.'' He started to laugh lowly but it soon broke out to a crazy laughing fit.
All my frustration over the loss of my weapon and my crush was breaking me but instead of letting it break me down I used it as fuel for hatred. Hatred is what I need. I have been a nice little girl far too long and it is time to let loose and kill that bastard!
''What weapon?'' I smirked but inside of me my heart stung, ''I don't have a weapon partner.'' I leaped toward Justin and he looked really surprised at me when I blade sprout out of my arm. ''I'm my own weapon!'' I screamed and Justin blocked my attack easily. He looked very amused at me as we pushed our blades against each other's.
''A weapon you say?'' he smirked and shoved me backwards but it failed to lose my balance. I was stead as a rock. ''And you seem to be a scythe too, just like your father.'' Papa, scythe, cheater, Soul. My train of thoughts brought me back to Soul and my heart rattled. I'm not going to let a cheating disgusting man beat me to the ground by cheating! I'm stronger than that and I survived papa so I know I can survive without Soul too. He and Blair can hook up all the time they can but they aren't allowed in my apartment. They are out and gone out of my life I don't want to see or hear their names ever again! Soul is just like papa, cheating, untrustworthy and a disgusting swine.
Just hearing Justin connect me with a cheating bastard like papa was infuriating. With a loud cry I leaped toward Justin as I made scythes pop out of both my ankles and my other arm. ''Don't you dare categorize me in the same category as papa!'' I screamed loudly in anger as I swung the blades furiously at him. I was so going to kill this guy.
He chuckled as he dodged my attacks and blocked them with his own blade. ''Is that so? You seem to have quite a temper today.'' His taunting and smirks are driving me crazy. I tried to keep a close eye out so I wouldn't get reckless but it was impossible with him as my opponent.
''Just shut the hell up and die!'' I aimed by blade at his neck and he bend backwards so it went right above his head.
He chuckled and flipped backwards. ''What a foul mouth you have, do you honestly think you can beat me? A Death Scythe who has fought alone for years and you who discovered your weapon blood just recently. You really think you can kill me?''
I growled loudly and tried to stab him in the torso but he just kept playing with me! He just continued to dance around me and he didn't even attack me! When I stab, he avoids it and when I slash, he blocks it.
''I'm going to kill you if it is the last thing I do!'' I tried to stab him between his eyes but as always, he dodged it but his next move was a big surprised. His fist made contact with my head and I feel backwards, hitting the hot desert sand. My head throbbed in pain and I felt sick. The blow to my head was worse than I thought it was when I detected blood running down in between of my eyes.
''My my, talking big like that but then getting floored by one simple punch,'' Justin smirked wide and you could see the madness dancing in his eyes. He was taunting me like no one has ever had and it was annoying.
I got up on my unsteady legs and my whole world was dizzy, spinning around. The blow to my head had caused me to have a concussion and having it in a battle with Justin is not a good condition but I have to do the best out of the situation. Holding my head, I tried to focus on Justin's nose trying to get the dizziness to go away.
''A punch won't kill me. I'm fine and I will still be able to kill you.'' I tried to pull off a cocky grin, exposing my teeth but I still felt nauseous so the grin didn't come out as powerful as I had thought.
''I don't think so, Maka Albarn. That blow to your head seemed to have done a great deal to you.'' Justin's smirk disgusted me but I couldn't let him get to me. I am Maka Albarn; former scythe meister, now, a demon scythes who uses herself. I can take him, yea, scythes are my specialty and I should be able to use myself then!
I growled and leaped toward him, I had managed to get my world stop spinning less so I managed to focus my blows. Even though, I tried to hit him in the chest with my blade but he blocked it with his own scythe.
''My, my, you are a determined girl. You really think you can defeat me? Too bad I will kill you and collect your soul.'' I pushed my blade with all my might toward him but he never budged. He didn't even break a sweat and his madness driving expression never faltered.
''I'm not going to fall!'' I jumped backwards and then immediately jumping forward, hoping to get a good blow at his shoulder but instead he grabbed my left arm and kicked me behind my knee so I dropped to my knees.
''You fell pretty easily, Maka. '' His hot breathe hit the shell of my ear, sending disgust through my body. ''You are tiny as a tooth pick… I'm going to break you easily.'' He held my left arm tightly behind me. His comment hurt and it reminded me how Soul always calls me tiny tits. Tsubaki had said it was only to cover up his feelings for me but now having seen him with Blair, I had been so stupid thinking he actually had feelings for me. He always had complained about my body, temper and hobbies. It is clear he didn't like me so why had he stayed this long with me if he hated me so? I am just his ugly, underdeveloped meister who hits him with books. There is no way he would have loved me. I am so stupid for actually thinking he would be able to love someone like me!
''Even if I died here… today…'' His grip around my arm tightened even if I didn't fight him back. All my will had been sucked out of my body. ''I knew I did my best and I don't regret fighting here by myself…'' a faint smile tugged at my lips, ''even if the one I came to love didn't love me back… I'm happy I fought here…'' It wasn't meant to come out but it had just happened. Soul had really broken my heart and I just couldn't hold the sorrow in by myself, even if it meant sharing that one piece of information with none the less than Justin Law, the now enemy.
A deep chuckle shook Justin's chest, ''so little Maka Albarn here is suicidal. I start to get it now; you are fighting without your weapon because he didn't feel the same back. You couldn't take being with him any more so you broke the partnership and you started to use yourself.''
A slight anger inside of me flared up but my sorrow quickly broke it down. Justin was wrong about me being suicidal. He was wrong about me cutting of our partnership like that. Our partnership isn't over yet but if I managed to survive this battle, it would be over. We would never be able to synchronize our soul's wavelengths and I wouldn't be able to trust him with my life anymore. I know his love life isn't any of my business but I couldn't help but feeling betrayed. Soul had really meant a lot to me and now when he had Blair in his life as his lover, I couldn't help but feel lost and unwanted.
''You are wrong…'' I sounded pathetic and weak. ''Our partnership isn't broken yet… but it will be…''
Justin's smirk grew wider and his grip around my arm tightened again and a shot of paint coursed through my body, earning a pained hiss. ''Then let me help you, I can cut off the partnership for you by killing you here today!'' He pushed my arm upward and my instinct was bending forward but my left shoulder made a loud crack and my arm got dislocated from my shoulder. The pain surged through my body and I gave out a loud scream in pain.
Justin laughed like a maniac when he pulled my dislocated arm toward him and spun me around him. The pain was surging through my body and I couldn't help but scream at the top of my lungs. He then threw me feet away where I bounced on the sad, scraping up my skin and clothes.
When my body finally came to a stop on the burning sand, I immediately clutched my dislocated shoulder in pain. Tears of pain ran down my cheek mixed with tears of agony. I was in pain psychically and mentally from catching Soul and Blair making out and from the shoulder Justin had just dislocated.
Sobs and sniffled racked my body as I could hear Justin's footsteps getting louder the closer he got to me. His figure blocked the sun out of my eyes and he looked more frightening now when he was standing in front of me and me lying on the ground with a concussion and a dislocated shoulder.
His grin spread and he lifted me up by the collar. It made it tougher to breathe but I forced oxygen down my lungs but it still felt like I couldn't breathe. ''You must understand by now that you won't be able to kill me or even get away from this battle alive.'' His voice was low and very threatening.
I didn't reply to his threat and that made him mad. He growled loudly and kicked me in the stomach, sending me flying over the sand. He walk quickly up to me and kicked me in the gut. He had a smirk of satisfaction as he kicked me a third time but now it was in my nose. My nose gave out a loud sound of a crack and a great pain spread in my face. I let out a loud cry but Justin instead kicked me in the thigh.
''You are a prick Maka. You have to listen to answer and show respect to your superiors. Isn't that one of Shibusen's teachings?'' He teased and he kicked me in the thigh again, earning a yelp.
Justin made me angry. He isn't allowed to talk about Shibusen and its teaching like that. He killed BJ and is a traitor. He can't talk so easily about Shibusen without feeling the rage of mine. Shibusen is my home, past, presence and future. Nobody insults it without having to deal with me.
''You don't get to talk so easily about Shibusen.'' I said through clenched teeth and it almost felt like my jaw would snap. My fists tightened at the sandy ground and I slowly got up on my knees. ''Shibusen is my home.'' I managed to get up on my feet, still clenching my throbbing shoulder. ''And you don't get to insult my home you traitor!'' I screamed and I felt how my courage got buffed up and even with all my injuries I felt like I actually did have a chance against him.
''Your home? It was mine too before I discovered madness.'' His grin grew wider and I felt like I wanted to punch him. But then a thought caught my attention.
When Justin had come and saved Chrona, I and my weapon partner from Giriko and the golem, he had been so kind and gentle. It is like he is a total different person right now. Was he wearing a mask to trick everyone or was it the madness that got a hold of him?
Bam! A hot hit the sand in front of Justin, forcing him to back away from me. Mine and Justin's eyes moved toward where Death City's walls ended and there stood Liz holding Patty in her hands and beside her stood the one person I didn't want to face; Soul. ''Get away from my meister!'' Soul screamed but I didn't dare to look him in the eyes because I know if I do, my heart will break again. The pictures were so clear inside of my mind how Blair's body was flushed against his body as her breasts pressed up against his chest while their lips were connected.
A wide smirk grew on Justin's face and you could see how Justin's face brightened as Soul started to run toward me. ''Oh really? But I wouldn't want to do that.'' With one quick motion, he got up to me and grabbed my neck, throwing me up in the air. The gun shots from Patty rang through the outskirts of Death City but unfortunately none of them hit Justin.
''It is time you die Maka!'' Justin screamed and jumped up in the air toward me with his blade ready at the side of his arm.
''Maka!'' Soul caught my attention and I saw his weapon form flying toward me. It became a decision for me, to grab Soul and block his attack or to let him fly pass me and take Justin's hit head on since both of my arms with blades were occupied.
Soul was right beside me but instead of grabbing him, I moved my back a little backwards in the air and Soul's face reflected on his blade. His eyes were wide in horror but I just tried to give him the most betrayal look I could muster because that is exactly what I feel about him.
The second Soul flew by me, Justin's blade dug deep into my gut. My screams were caught inside of me as my eyes widen. The pain coursed through me like electricity and everything started to grow dark.
''… help.''
