~~~~~~~~~~~~Maka~~~~~~~~~~

It's dark. There's a sword. A flash of pain in my leg. A flash of pain in my side. A face. His face. Everything is fading. I wake up with a gasp. My hand flies to my forehead and wipes off a layer of sweat. Ew, just great. I look around and calm down as I realize I'm back at the apartment and in my own room. I glance towards my desk and see the mountain of books I had been reading and rereading for the test I was supposed to take.

Stupid injury. I was really prepared for that test too. And know Stien won't even let me take it. Oh well. I would have passed anyhow. I go to stand but immediately fall back on the bed. Crap, I forgot about my leg. Well there could be worse things than having to stay in bed all day. I reach over onto my nightstand and grab a book at random and flip on my lamp. And now to do what I do best. I open the cover and begin reading.

~~~~~~~~~~~Soul~~~~~~~~~~

"You know that you won't always be there to protect her right?" the little red demon says with a smile on his face. "And why is that?" I ask with little emotion in my voice. Jeez this is so boring. Why can't I have a dream instead of this little chit chat with this little shit. "Because you're just like the kishins my dear boy. Don't you enjoy it when you kill them? When you do any damage to them at all? Eventually you'll do that to her. And I'll be right alongside you." He replies coyly. I grab him and throw him against the piano that's always there. "I. Will. Never. Hurt. My. Meister. I will never, and I never have been, just like those kishins. Understand?" I emphasize each word by slamming him into the keys. He snaps his fingers and everything turns white.

I wake up and hear the piano playing through my earbuds. Stupid little demon. What is the point of you anyway? To play bad music and screw with my head? I stretch and grope around for my shirt so I can go out and cook breakfast. Hope Maka actually went to the store… BAKA! Of course she didn't go to the store… AH CRAP I DIDN'T EITHER!

I slowly open my bedroom door to peek around the corner to see if Maka is up. No sign of her. Whew. I tiptoe past her door so as not to wake her up and grab the keys to my scooter. I open the front door of the apartment and who stands infront of my way?

"SOUL IT'S ABOUT TIME MAN WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO WAKE UP?!" Yells the blue haired ninja that is way to perky at seven in the morning. "Blackstar it's seven AM what the hell are you doing up this morning?" I ask with my eye twitching in annoyance. "SOUL YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY TO TRAIN. IS MAKA UP WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON OUR SOUL RESONANCE. MAKA!" He yells as he pushes past me. I grab the collar of his weird shirt and drag him outside, closing the door behind me.

"Listen, she's still asleep. And even if she wasn't she's still hurt. Here, lets just go to the store together. Where's Tsubaki anyhow?" I look around for the loudest meister's quiet partner. "What are you talking about? She walked right by you to go check on Maka. Pay attention dude."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maka~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, hey Tsubaki. When did you get here?" I ask finally hearing a small cough from the corner of my bed. "Oh, you know. Ten minutes ago." She giggles quietly. How does Blackstar have a quiet partner? I mean jeez… They're so different. Well then again so are Soul and I. "Oh, do you know where Soul is? I heard him earlier, and Blackstar. Though it's hard not to hear him." I mumble this last part under my breath so as not to upset Tsubaki.

"Yes, Soul and Blackstar went to the store. So, how are you feeling?" She askes cautiously. How do I feel? Well, I'm always tired for some reason. And my side hurts. But I don't want to worry anyone, especially her. "I'm fine. Although I do miss doing school work. Soul won't even bring my homework to me. He's such a jerk." I scrunch my face up to show how upset I am, but Tsubaki just laughs. "Here, if it bothers you so much, I'll just bring your homework to you. Then you could do your homework, and not be upset with Soul."

I chuckle at this and nod. "That would be nice. Thank you." I stretch my back and yawn as I suddenly become very tired. "Oh, you're tired. Well, I have to go grab Blackstar before he does something dumb. Need me to grab you anything before I leave?" I shake my head and thank her for asking and coming by to see me. She closes my door almost as quiet as she speaks and I'm soon alone with my thoughts.

I should probably fall back asleep before Soul tries to make me cook breakfast today. At least he finally went to the store. I lay my head back down and close my eyes, hoping I can have a peaceful nap.
