Soul's POV:

My heart thudded against my chest. If this guys soul wave length hits us... we'd be effected by lust and love? Not only that, but to the person we secretly loved? Aurgh. So not cool. I walked next to Maka, hands in my pockets, looking over to her once and a while to try and read her facial expressions. She looked worried. That made me feel a bit un-easy. Who did Maka love? More importantly, if I got hit; she would find out that I loved her.. how would she feel about that? I wasn't too worried about her finding out, in fact I planed on telling her soon, but the way she was acting lately, I thought it was best left alone for now. I sighed loud enough so she could hear me. Maybe it was best off I told her, not the effects from the wavelength. She didn't even turn to face me. "Ah-hem." I said louder, making sure she'd notice. She shot me a warning glance. It was obvious she didn't feel like talking. I was taken a back. Maka usually didn't act like this... around me anyways. Than her face softened. "Maka-" I began, but she cut me off. "Soul, if you're going to say something important to me, I wouldn't do it now." I gave her a confused glare. "W-why not?" She gave me a weak smile. "Because, anything you say that's important will make my soul wavelength go everywhere, and we won't be able to resonate." She explained. But I had a feeling there was more to it. I let out a sigh. Did she know what I was going to tell her? I didn't want her to. Aurgh, this was so un-cool. I had to cover up quick. "Oh, it's nothing important, I just wanted to talk about the mission." I said as a hasty cover-up. She looked surprised. Who knew what she was thinking I'd say? "Oh." Was all she said before a load bang sounded out from behind us. Maka spun around to face the noise. It was the Kishin. 'Well,' I thought to myself. 'Now we get to see who Maka loves.' But deep down, I really didn't want to know.

Maka's POV:

"Soul, scythe form!" I yelled as the Kishin charged towards us. He looked lost in thought for a moment, than shook his head coming back to reality. He looked over at the Kishin who was getting really close at the moment, than over to me, than nodded. He turned into a white beam, that flew into my hand; taking the shape of a scythe. I swung it around my shoulders and head professionally, than rested it on my shoulder just as soon as Soul's black and red blade came out of the white light. "Kishin of love and lust, your killing days are over. Your soul is mine!" I yelled out. The Kishin just growled and ran towards me. I let out a small smile. "I see how it is, you're trying to touch us with that soul wave-length at the start of the fight, so that we get distracted." I jumped up into the air right before his claws hit me. "Well-" I began. "That's not happening." I heard Soul in my head. "Maka, be careful! You don't know how he makes his soul wave-length hits others, it might not be from direct contact!" I pondered this thought. Lord Death should have given us more information about how this Kishin fought. Than again, maybe Lord Death knew that it wouldn't matter because the one that I loved was Soul, so I would keep fighting the Kishin un-effected to protect Soul. But- who did Soul like? That's why I had a feeling he was going to tell me that other time, and I was worried that it'd be someone else. And knowing he didn't feel the same would throw off my wave-lengths from him; making this fight impossible. I shook my head. 'Get back into the fight, Maka. Think later.' I said aloud in my head. "Soul, sense we don't know how this guy effects us with his soul, what attack do you suppose we try?" I said to Soul in my head. Before he answered, a big claw promptly swiped at me, and a dodged it in the nick of time, unfortunately I fell to the ground, because I was thrown off balance. "I say we try and hit him with Witch Hunter. There's no need to hit him with the Demon Hunter; I don't think he's that strong." Soul answered. "Right. I guess we can try. But what if when we use Soul Resonate is when he connects with peoples souls?" I questioned, just thinking of this idea. I heard Soul laugh slightly. "Does it really matter, we can still defeat him, and it'd only be for a little while that we where effected." My voice became shaky. "Soul." I could feel his soul become un-easy. "Yea?" I got up, just in time. The Kishin's claws came down right where I was, taking a part of my regular black coat I wore off. I jumped out of the way of another attack. The Kishin was getting very upset and aggravated that I kept dodging. I wouldn't be able to do this for much longer without getting a injury. "W-what if both of us love someone else, wouldn't that throw off our wave-lengths so that we couldn't fight? So isn't using Witch Hunter risky?" There was a silence. No answer from Soul. I tried to read his what his soul was feeling, but it was hard to tell. Anger, sadness, disappointment... and lust? Had he been hit, and that's why he was so silent all of a sudden? I couldn't think about this right now. And judging by the way Soul's soul was feeling right now, I doubted we'd be able to fully resonate, it seems as if I hurt him. "Fine, don't answer." I snapped at him. Swinging the weapon into the Kishin. I didn't want to think about this any longer. If I was effected, I was effected. The scythe stopped half way through the Kishin's gut, and it gave me a smile from its blood stained lips with crooked teeth. I pulled Soul our of him immediately before the tried to touch him with a glowing claw. 'That must be how he effects people, that almost looks like what Professor Stien uses when he interferes with peoples wave-lengths.' I said so that Soul could hear, but he didn't seem interested. "Well then-" I said aloud so the Kishin could hear me. "I guess I know how to attack you now." The Kishin gave yet another smile, licking it's lips with its long tongue. "Don't count on it, girl." It said it a raspy voice that almost sounded like it was under water. I let out a slight laugh. "So you can still talk, eh?" I was making small talk so I could think of a plan. "It seems like it." It said, slamming the glowing claw next to me in the ground. Shock-waves hit all over the place. "He-heh. I bet you didn't see this coming!" It said, while I was distracted, slamming it's claw right into my chest as it was glowing. 'Damn it!' I screamed in my head. I felt my soul filled with it's effects right away. I flew to the ground, and hit a tree my head throbbing. 'Maka! Are you alright!?' I heard Soul yell in my head. Soul. Oh god, Soul! I suddenly had the feeling to tell him I loved him! Damn it, my thoughts where wandering off. But luckily, my anti-demon wave-lengths where fighting off the sensation. For now. The Kishin smiled and laughed again. "You have no idea what's going to happen once you loose control, girl." I smirked. I got up, but surprisingly, the wound that was suppose to be on my chest area was rapidly healing as I looked at it. Was this from the black blood? No. It was part of this Kishin's technique. "I see what you're doing. You attack with your wave-length, making it cut through skin, but you make it quickly heals them before the wave-length can escape their body. Interesting." It smirked at me. "You're a smart girl, but I'm warning you, if you don't finish me off before that wound heals, you'll be dead!" It screamed, launching itself at me. And it was right, I could feel my soul starting to become effected by the wave-lengths, and I started trailing off about thoughts of me and soul. I shook my head. The wound was nearly healed. I gripped the scythe harder. Narrowing my eyes, focusing. 'Soul-' I started in my head. 'Already on it, Maka.' "Let's go! Soul Resonance!" I screamed. My scream getting louder, a blue light shining around me and Soul. There was a bit of a hesitation between me and Soul resonating at first, but my soul quickly pulled his closer. Soul's scythe form grew into the Witch Hunter blade. I ran towards the Kishin, it's red eyes where wide. "Witch Hunter!" I yelled, slamming the scythe into the Kishin, completely obliterating it, leaving it's red soul behind. At the same time, the wound on my chest had fully healed up, and I was broken from Soul's soul, and I fell to the ground, unconscious. "Maka!" Was the last thing I heard. And I couldn't help wondering before I was taken into the darkness of sleep. Did he get hit by the wave-length too?
