Complications
Soul's POV
We all headed to the basketball court without Maka and started to play some basketball. After a while the girls got tired and Black Star, Kid, and I just played while the girls rest. As we played I overheard there conversation.
"So what do you think Maka and the new kid our doing?" Patty said.
"He's probably flirting with her and she's getting very shy and blushing," Liz said.
"I think they look cute together don't you think," Tsubaki said.
Suddenly I missed the basket. I saw everyone stare at me, but I just ignored it. Weird I usual don't miss. After the game everyone started to talk about Maka and this new guy and it started to annoy me a little. What's he so special about. We went to grab some lunch and speak of the devil we saw Maka and Raven eating lunch together. We joined them and they went on and on about how his first day was and what he did with Maka.
Maka's POV
I was really enjoying myself today with Raven. I mean we had so much in common. I mean he likes to read, studying, and plus he like classical and folk music like me. As he was talking I saw Soul looking away and wasn't paying attention. Suddenly I girl came and asked Soul to be his partner.
"Already got a partner," He replied.
"Oh come on, this girl has no sex appeal like me," She said.
"You got me there,"
"Soul" I shouted and stood up.
"What? It's true though," He said.
I felt hurt by what he just said. I was about to say something, but then Raven got up and went to the girl.
"I'd appreciate it, if you didn't insult my friend. Besides having a sex appeal has nothing to do with being a good partner," He said and the girl left.
I saw Soul get up and start to leave. I called after him, but he didn't reply. I chased after him and when I caught up to him I yelled to him and he stopped.
"What's wrong with you Soul? You've been acting weird all day!" I yelled.
"Oh I've been acting weird! Ok sure you're just jealous I get girls asking me to be there partners!" He shouted.
"I am not, besides it seems to me like you're jealous of Raven!"
"Jealous of that guy, yeah right. If you think so why don't you just become partners with him? Seems like you guys have so much in common,"
"We're both mestiers gosh what is with you Soul?"
Suddenly right when Soul was talking my head began to hurt again. I fell to the ground and Soul stopped talking.
"Maka, are you ok!" Soul shouted.
"My head . . . it hurts . . ." I said.
Suddenly I sensed something outside. I told Soul and we went outside. I didn't see anything for a while.
"I don't see anything, are you sure you sensed something?" Soul asked.
Just when I was about to answer him, I saw Ravenna right behind him. I saw her controlling the shadows and was about to stab Soul. I quickly dashed toward him and pushed him away. As I pushed him I felt the shadow stab me in the back. I could feel so much pain in my back that I couldn't get up. Soul came to me and had me in his arms.
"Maka, come on stay with me!" He yelled.
"It's funny to see a mestier protecting her weapon. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Anyway I came to see how Maka was doing and see if she had changed her mind yet, or has her father still not told her everything," Ravenna said.
"Get out of here! Maka won't join you; you're wasting your time!" Soul shouted.
"Aren't you rude, besides I wouldn't be talking so high Soul. You see I know all you little secrets. Like why you really became partners with Maka,"
"Shut up you don't know me!"
"You say that, but I have a unique power that allows me to taste every ones feelings and I can taste fear from you Soul Eater Evans. A word of advice Maka, don't trust the DWMA, especially those closest to you," She said leaving.
I tried to get up, but I couldn't move. I could feel so much pain on my back. I could see Soul yelling me to stay with him, but soon I was losing my hearing. I began to feel faint and before, I knew it, I pasted out.
Soul's POV
I could see so much blood and I tried to stop it, but it just kept going and going. I could Maka was becoming more pale. I ran inside carrying Maka and everyone saw me. I could see the look on their face that they were all horrified by the sight. They followed me to the nurses room and she quickly bandages her up. Not long after Professor Stein, Spirit, Sid, and Lord Death came. I explained what had happen and I could see Spirit very upset.
"I knew this was going to happen," Spirit said.
"Why the heck does Ravenna want Maka! What aren't you telling us!" I shouted.
"This does not concern you,"
"She's my partner everything about her is my concern!"
Suddenly I saw Maka come too. I quickly rushed to her side. I could see that she was in so much pain. I saw her look at everyone and then she spoke.
"I'm sorry, but could you guys, but I need to talk to Soul privately," She said and everyone wished her well and left.
"Maka you shouldn't have saved me. A weapon fights to protect his mestier not the . . ." I explained.
"I know Soul, but even so you are my friend and friends protect friends no matter what! Besides you saved me once, remember. You got that scar on your chest because of me. You protected me Soul and now I have done the same,"
"But because of what you did you got hurt and now . . ."
I banged my fist to the wall, and then I felt Maka's hand cover it. I looked at her and then she laid my hand down next to me. I saw her twinge at pain, but it didn't seem to be her back, but her head.
Maka's POV
"Do not trust the DWMA, they are lying to you. Even you partner feels you are too weak for him. Ask him why he became your partner and then you will see he is lying to you," The voice said.
My headache began to fade and I could see Soul was worried. Why is this happening to me? I looked to Soul and found myself questioning myself about whether I should actually ask him or not.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I've been thinking about this Soul . . . I mean you get so many partner requests, yet you stay with me and it makes me wonder why you became my partner in the first place," I asked.
"Why does it matter?"
"It matters to me Soul, I really want to know why on that day you became my partner!"
I saw Soul got up in a huff and was about to leave. He stopped at the door and then turned back to me.
"I don't even know why? Even right now I question why when my partner is jealous of the requests I get from girls. Honestly I didn't think you'd be that jealous," Soul said.
"You know Soul you assuming I'm getting jealous is getting really annoying," I replied.
"Then why don't we just take a break from being partners then, I see that Raven guy has an eye for you, maybe you two should be partners,"
"Again he is a mestier, but for once you actually had something interesting to say. Let's just take a break and find different partners,"
As Soul opened the door, everyone fell to the ground. Soul began to leave until Raven appeared with red roses.
"Oh am I interrupting something," Raven said, but Soul just brushed past him.
"No some on in," I replied.
I saw everyone star at me, but I gave them a look and they knew not to say a word and left to see Soul I assumed. Soul . . . Why couldn't you answer me question . . .
