14AmyChan: I don't own anything. *^_^*
Soul: It's not cool for a guy to get knocked down by a girl.
14AmyChan: You weren't~! *^_^*
Everyone else: huh?
14AmyChan: *^_^*
Soul and Black Star woke up to pure black darkness. They were bound together by some kind of rope. And Soul could feel the cloth over his eyes and mouth. That didn't seem to bother his friend, though…
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Black Star shouted into the impenetrable darkness. "YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS AWESOMENESS TIED UP BY DUMB LITTLE ROPES!"
"Oi" Soul whispered while he turned his finger into a smaller version of his arm-scythe and cut through the ropes. "It's not cool to shout like that."
"Indeed it's not!" a voice shouted from above. Soul reached up and pulled the bandana off of his eyes to look up.
They were in a large building. It had very little light, only enough to see the mysterious outline of three people above them. A guy and two girls. Soul decided that they looked like adults, and that red hair of the guy pissed him off for some reason. And the fact that he looked like a wimpy guy who just loves the ladies. Soul spat into the ground. "What do you want, freak?" Soul got straight to the point.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FREAK?" the red-haired man screeched. "IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, YOU'RE TRAPPED, YOU EVAN PUNK!"
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING AN EVAN?" Soul shouted right back. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT SLIME BALL'S NAME AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME?"
The red-haired man just smirked and walked out the same way he came. The two ladies followed him. One of them turned back, and Soul could have sworn she winked at him. Not cool.
"How thick do you think this is?" Black Star knocked on the wall to hear a hollow echo.
"About a foot" a new voice cut through the darkness. It was a girl's voice, cut crisp and clear. "I've already tried beating it down, but it's too thick." Soul expected the girl's voice to become sad, instead, it was filled with anger.
"It's not cool to hide in the darkness" Soul said. "Come out here." Soul heard nothing but a couple rocks hitting each other twice before a light came on.
Maka looked at the two boys that jerk threw in with her. One of them had blue hair and a scowl. He was dressed all in black.
The other was a white-haired boy with a matching scowl. Although the boys looked similar, the white-haired boy seemed…different, somehow.
"So, a foot?" the blue-haired one asked. Maka could immediately tell that this was the one with the self-inflated ego. "How'd you figure?"
"Let's say this isn't my first time in here" Maka said. "Now I have to make another escape route" Maka walked over to where her newest escape route was. It wasn't the first time that jerk had put her in here with a few guys. He was the reason she ran from home. She overheard the two boys talking in the background.
"Think you can cut through a foot?" Maka knew that this was the blue-haired one.
"Not without a meister" the white-haired one said. "And Tsubaki's your weapon, it's not like we can share a meister."
"Why not?" the ego was self inflating again. "There's enough awesomeness to go around."
"It just doesn't work that way, I need a real meister" Maka could tell the kid was getting irritated. "We've had this discussion before; it's why the old man doesn't want me to go to town."
"Hey" Maka interrupted. She knew what Meisters and Weapons were from the school library she went to, but this wasn't the time. "Hate to interrupt your chit-chat, but do you want out of here or not?"
"You could ask her" the blue-haired one said suddenly. All was quiet for a minute. Then-
"WE DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAMES!" Maka and the white-haired boy shouted at the same time.
"And even if we did" Maka interrupted the blue-haired guy from talking. "That would mean that I'd have to be his Meister for the rest of his life. No." Maka walked back to her escape route. She was almost done. "Besides, we're as good as out."
"What makes you say that?" the blue-haired one asked.
"This…" Maka said as she demonstrated. She found her spot and kicked out the rest of the dirt. Sunshine started flooding through. She kicked the rest of the dirt loose and shoveled it away with her hands. Soon, there was enough space for her to squeeze out. She turned to the boys. "If you don't mind getting dirty, this is the way out." Then she saw the blue-haired guy look at the hole. Maka looked down.
Black Star was looking at the hole the know-it-all just made. Another familiar set was making the hole bigger. Know-it-all was backing away slowly, tensing herself for a fight.
"Black Star?" Tsubaki asked from beyond the wall. "Soul? You two in there?"
"Yeah, but we were just leaving" Black Star said. His tone was that of an awesome leader. Or at least, that's what he thought.
"Why do you two always get into so much trouble?" Black Star heard Tsubaki sigh. He just grinned, even though he knew she couldn't see it.
"Because that's what awesome people do" Black Star answered as if it were obvious.
"And don't forget cool people" Black Star heard a smile on Soul's voice. "This is the coolest fun I've had in a while."
Just then, Tsubaki poked her head under the hole and looked at the two boys. She smiled. "Well, we need to get you two out of here" Tsubaki turned and saw Maka for the first time. She instantly corrected herself. "Well, three"
In about ten seconds, everyone was out of the makeshift prison and on their way into town.
"So," Tsubaki started. "What's your name?"
"Maka" the girl answered. Like before, her voice was crisp. Almost like a teacher's pet. "What about you?"
"I'm Tsubaki, a Weapon" Tsubaki introduced herself cheerfully. "And this is Black Star, my Meister."
"And I'm Soul" Soul said, deciding to leave his stupid last name behind. He examined the girl a little more closely. Brown hair in pigtails, green eyes, sweater vest, skirt, black cape, and white gloves. When Soul saw the gloves, the scent of blood, just like before, hit him. He decided that it was cool to have super senses. "Why are you bleeding?"
'Maka' instantly turned her head sharply to get a square look at Soul. He could tell he was being searched, but at the moment, he didn't quite care. He wanted to hear her story. "Why do you care?" she asked as an answer.
"Because that's the reason we were there in the first place" Soul answered her question, expecting her to answer his. He barely noticed Tsubaki on the sidelines trying to avoid a confrontation. The staring match between Maka and Soul was too potent.
"That's none of your business" Maka turned away from the little group and walked off. On a whim, Soul decided to follow her around. None of that sneaky stuff, that wasn't cool. Just walked a few paces behind her was all. He wanted to bug her. After all, bugging people was what he came here to do.
