Hey party- peoples! So this is the third chapter, as I'm sure you could see for yourself! I just like putting up on the top. For the most part, I have been swamped with different things that have been beyond my control, and every time that I would want to start typing, something else would happen. But now I finally have time, so I'm in a typing mood, and I need to just go for it. This is none of my property. This belongs to Atsushi Okubo. I hope he's doing okay…
Soul and Maka walked around the city for a good amount of the day. They didn't run into anyone, and they assumed it was because they were sleeping off prom. But at about three in the afternoon, Maka's father began calling her, worried about his sweet little girl. Soul got the hint and took her to get her things first, and then dropped her off at her house.
As soon as she walked in, Maka was attacked by a tall, red-headed man with tears running down his cheeks.
"Maka, sweetie, are you alright!"
Maka sighed. "I'm fine. I was just with Tsubaki."
"Yes, but you were also with those boys, Soul Evans and Black Star, and let's not forget Principal Death's son!" Spirit yelled. "I stayed up all night worrying!"
Maka looked down and found a light purple item on the ground. She turned to her father.
"Oh, yeah? Then who's panties are those?"
Spirit looked away from his daughter. "W-well…"
Maka sighed again. "Whatever. I'm going to my room. Please don't bother me."
Maka walked by her father and went to her room. Her phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
'Maka?'
Maka closed her door before continuing the conversation so that she wouldn't be listened in on. "Hey, Kid. Is everything okay?"
'That's my line.' Kid said with a slight chuckle. 'I was just checking in on you. You didn't go to the After Prom.'
"Yeah," Maka sighed, "well, I didn't feel like going, and I couldn't go home, so I stayed with Soul at his place."
Kid grew silent for a minute. 'Do you want to hang out? I'll pick you up.'
Maka looked at the clock, which read 4:02. "Sure, I don't mind."
Kid was there in 8 minutes. Maka heard him drive up and rushed to the door.
"Maka, where are you going?" Spirit asked.
"I'm going out with Kid. I'll be back soon." Maka said with a smile. "Maybe you could get your friend to get her things back while I'm gone."
Maka ran out the door before her father could respond. Kid waited outside his black sports car, as she appeared.
"So, where would you like to go?" Kid asked as he helped her into the car.
"Anywhere is fine with me." Maka smiled. "As long as it's not here."
Kid nodded and started to drive. He found a café, and stopped there. They chose to eat outside and ordered what they wanted.
"So, you say you couldn't go home?" Kid started. Maka nodded.
"Long story short, Papa invited a nightly companion to the house, so I stayed with Soul. It's no big deal."
"Well," Kid sighed, "next time, know that my door is always open, whatever the circumstance may be. Liz and Patty would like the company, too."
Maka giggled. "You're such a good brother. I'm a little jealous…"
"What?" Kid replied, a little pink. Maka turned away and missed it. She saw a girl with yellow eyes and purple hair dressed in skimpy stripper clothes pass by.
"How women can go out dressed like that is beyond me…" Maka muttered. Just then, their food and tea reached them. She took a fork, and cut in to her strawberry shortcake. She looked at Kid and saw that he just had tea.
"Do you want any?" Maka asked. Kid just shook his head.
"I'm fine." Kid replied. "All I need is this tea."
Maka just smiled and delicately ate the piece she cut off. Kid watched her eat and just smiled. He wished this moment would last a life-time.
Maka and Kid finished their tea, and decided to walk around. Maka had already done that earlier, but it was okay. Kid even bought her a little plastic mood ring.
Maka looked at her phone. "It's 7:42. She said before looking at Kid. "I should probably get home…"
"You sound as if you don't want to go." Kid said, observantly.
"Well, I think Papa and I need some time apart." Maka replied. "Ever since the divorce, things have changed for the worse."
"Understandable." Kid replied. "Divorce can make things hard."
Maka reached out to Kid's hand, and he looked at her giving her a small smile.
"Don't worry. Remember, I was closer to my father, anyway. It made us closer."
Maka smiled. "How lucky. I was closer to my mom. But it's okay. I'm going to move out soon. I have a job, so I can pay rent and stuff."
"I'm sure you're responsible enough to move out. But what will your father say?"
Maka shrugged. "It doesn't matter. It's my decision."
Kid smiled and walked Maka back to his car. He drove Maka back to her house. As soon as she walked in, she saw her father making out with a scantily clad woman. Maka cleared her throat loudly, making them both look up.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't care. All I know is that you had better leave now."
The girl, which looked only a little older than Maka, got up and rushed out the door. Maka shook her head.
"We're gonna have a serious talk real soon about something that you aren't gonna wanna hear." Maka said going up to her room.
Maka plopped on her bed and took her phone out and dialed Soul's phone number. He picked up after two rings.
'Hey, Maka. What's up?'
"Not much. I did want to have a conversation with you about that spare room you have, though."
'No.'
"What are you talking about?"
'You wanna move in. The answer is no.'
"But Soul-"
'You're still younger than me. So you would have to get your dad to agree to it before anything can even happen…'
"I know that!" Maka said. "But I'm just saying that WHEN he agrees, I'm gonna need a place to stay."
Soul just sighed. 'Well, if your dad says it's okay, I guess I don't mind…'
"Awesome! You won't –"
'But!" Soul interjected. "We would have to have some ground rules, understand?'
"I understand completely!" Maka squealed. "Wouldn't have it any other way!"
Maka heard a knock at her door.
"Maka, darling, can I talk to you?" Spirit called from the other side of the door. Maka sighed, her high crashing to the ground below.
"Soul, I'll have to call you later. I think that talk with Papa is gonna happen sooner than I thought."
Maka hung up the phone, and opened her door. Her father was standing there, pitiful looking.
"What is it, Papa?"
"It's about earlier. I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to hurt you or anything… I was just lonely… you can understand right?"
Maka looked at her father. "How many times have I heard this?" She asked. Spirit just looked away.
"Papa, there are boundaries that you have crossed too many times. I'm sorry's don't fix that. I think… that I want to move out."
"W-what…?" Spirit said. "N-no…! You're too young! You can't!"
"I need to do this Papa!" Maka said. But I can't unless you say it's okay…"
"Why would I say that!"
"Because I hate it here! And if I stay… I might start hating you…" Maka replied. There was a long silence.
"Where will you go?" Spirit asked quietly.
"Soul has an extra room in his apartment. He said I could stay there."
"Maka-"
"He's a good friend, and wouldn't touch me. I can trust him." Maka said. Spirit felt Maka's hands wrap around his waist.
"Please, Papa…"
Spirit returned the hug. "… Okay. I trust you."
Well, that was chapter 3! I hope you enjoyed it! I thought it was pretty good. But that's probably just me. Anyways Please Review! They make me happy!
