Here's chapter 2! I hope you enjoy it! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater!

Giriko and Justin grabbed me and dragged me back to the hell I tried to get out of. The only good thing was that Kid was already long gone. They stopped the flow of soldiers. I guess they gave up going after him.

"I'm surprised that you actually had enough guts to do this. Noah isn't going to happy about this." Justin stated pointing out the obvious.

"Ha, I can't wait to see what he does to you. You'll regret betraying him." Giriko said, amused by this whole thing.

I sighed. 'What am I going to do?'

I didn't even try to fight back. I knew that what Justin had said before was right, a weaponless meister can't do much damage, especially against weapons who could still fight in their human forms.

The thought made me think of my diseased partner.

Kaori and I were in a room that was deep inside the mansion we were in. It was empty and bland and had no windows, but what we were looking for was at the back of the room. It was an antique sword. I rolled my eyes. This man would collect anything!

"Okay Kaori, we got what the doushe wanted. Let's get the Hell out of here." I said.

"Hey, you better watch what you say about Noah!" Justin warned through the receiver in my ear.

"Ah, shut up Justin" I muttered with a soft growl.

Kaori smiled and slid his hand through his medium length brown hair, "Alright Rose."

I smiled at him, a smile that was only ever given to him. Kaori had called me Rose for the past two years they've been partners. He called me it because my full name, Kuro Bara, meant black rose.

'Your name's Kuro Bara? I'll call you Rose!' is what he said back then, and that's how my nickname was born. We were partners from that day onward.

That was before I was forced here, but Kaori had gone with me willingly even though he didn't have to. He'd stay by my side through everything and anything.

'You're my meister. I'll go anywhere you go.' he had said then, when I told him he shouldn't come with me.

I grabbed the sword and clipped it to my hip. I opened the door and looked out into the hallway, no one was there so we ran to the right. I looked at the imaginary map I had in my head.

'Okay so a couple of hallways and some corridors, then we'll be outta he-' loud, shrieking alarms bursted my ear drum before I could even finish the thought.

"Damn, they found us." I breathed. We were at an intersection and we heard heavy, fast footsteps coming all ways.

"Hey, look we can sneak through the vents!" he said pointing at it, "Come on I'll give yah a boost!"

I hurried over to him and put my boot covered foot on his knotted hands and hoisted myself to the vent. I grabbed the vent and ripped it off the wall, then I climbed in.

"Kaori grab my hand!" I grabbed a hold of his hand and pulled him inside. As soon as he was inside the guards had come and didn't even notice the vent was ripped off.

Kaori and I chuckled, "Idiots." We said in sync, which made us chuckle even more.

"Alright alright," Kaori smirked as we were crawling through the vents, "What's your badass escape plan?"

Ha.

"I'm sorry to inform you Kaori, but this plan is to just escape. No explosions, just getting out." I smiled.

"Aw man, you're no fun." He smiled in a joking manner.

I found a vent that would be just a few more corridors away from the exit. I looked through the vent and saw no one there. Then I kicked it open and jumped out landing on my feet quietly.

"Okay Kaori, coast is clear!" I whispered.

There was a moment of silence, then quiet shuffling, then even more silence.

"Uh…Rose?"

"What?"

"I'm stuck."

"What? How could you-?" I sighed. "Give me your hand."

"Jeez Kaori you're such an idiot." Justin sighed exasperatedly out of nowhere.

I couldn't help but chuckle, wondering how Kaori got himself into such sticky situations. I grabbed his hand and pulled.

"Ow!" he exclaimed.

"Sorry. You're not even that big, how the hell did you get stuck?" I asked pulling his arm again.

"I don't know!" he whispered. "I guess I probably-" but before he could finish he fell right out onto the floor with a loud thud, his thin body landing face first onto the Persian rug. I was about to burst out laughing when a guard came to see what the commotion was about.

"What the?" The guard's eyes became wide. "Guys they're over here!" he yelled calling the others.

"Damnit Kaori!" I exclaimed.

"Hey, it's not my fault!" he turned towards the guards that were on their way. "Anyway, it looks like it's show time." He smirked cracking his knuckles.

I smirked and in a flash of light Kaori transformed into his weapon form. He was a pair of claws; silver metal wristbands that were attached to my wrists attached the claws. The wristband part had a metal rose that was painted black, and the claws looked like there were vines around them, except the vines were metal to. The claws were about 7 inches in length, and curled at the tip. I caught them and put them on, getting into my fighting stance.

It didn't take long to take out the 20 guards that were there. But we knew they were coming. I didn't waste any time and started running to the exit. Kaori stayed in his weapon form just in case anymore wanted to come in our way.

'Just a few more yards.' I thought.

"There!" I said to myself and burst through the door, revealing the night outside. I ran a little more to get away and stopped to catch my breath.

"We made it." Kaori said in his weapon form.

"Yup. Great job back-"

"Wait, Rose look out!" I could see from the casted shadow from the moonlight that Kaori had turned human.

"Kaori?"

I spun around franticly just as splatters of blood flew on my face. A sword from a guard who came out of no where had pierced Kaori. The blade had gone through him and was inches away from my neck. I stood there, wide eyed, trying to take in what I had just seen.

That's when I realized that someone had just killed my best friend.

"No..." I backed away, my hand over my mouth as I watched the guard come at me with sword in hand. I flicked up the sword I had and took it out, the moonlight shining mournfully on its blade.

"How... dare you!" I screeched and blocked his attack, then spun under him and slashed his stomach, blood pouring from the wound.

"Rot in Hell. I'll be sure to meet you there." I seethed at the guard and walked away from his twitching figure.

I sheathed the bloody sword and hurried to Kaori. His eyes were closed, and even though there was blood all over him, he looked peaceful. I bent down and looked at his wounds. The pierce went through his heart.

No doubt it was fatal.

Still, I checked his pulse, trying to hold in tears. Of course, there was nothing there. My bangs were covering my eyes, but I bet you could see the tears dripping on the forest floor.

"Oh well." Justin said coolly. "He died. Alright then, hurry up and do whatever you gotta do. We have to get the sword to Noah."

Taking the receiver from my ear, I threw it as far as I could, and sat down next to him. My anger switched sadness, knowing the only way to vent was through tears, I began to sob.

"Dammit Kaori… You were all I had left…"

After that I buried him.

I buried him deeper in the forest, near a really pretty lake. I said goodbye, and it was one of the hardest things I had to do, but I had to. I should've been the one dead, not him.

He was my best friend, my only friend, and my first love.

After I had buried Kaori, I cleaned the stupid sword. And when I had gotten back from the mission I practically threw it at Justin. Of course they didn't care that Kaori died. None of them did. Kaori and I were the only ones with hearts in this horrid place.

A tear fell, and I quickly wiped it from my reddish orange eye as I tried to put on a brave face.

Truth was, I was terrified.
