OMG I'm so sorry it's been forever since I've updated I got in some twouble But I'm allowed on the computer again so YAY! Hope you enjoy! I do not own Soul Eater.

"What was that?" Amber said regaining her movement as we backed out of the parking lot.

"I-I-I d-don't kn-kn-know…" I stuttered my mind was rushing and I almost felt light headed.

"Ooh but I like how he did that, the whole 'It's a challenge.' Tote's cute right?" Amber squealed.

"Amber you're forty-two not twelve."

She did a pouty face, "Oh, Maka your so serious and just because I'm old physically my heart is young! So don't mess with me about it."

"At least I don't talk like an eight-year-old." I retorted.

"You need to have some fun Maka! Like how old are you? Eighteen?"

"Yes that is my age."

"Then go out and do something! Go take a shot or two, go on a vacation! Get a boyfriend! I suggest the last option the most." She winked and swerved from hitting a cat.

"Shit, watch out will ya!"

She raised an eyebrow, "Wow, Maka's using dirty words now? Good that's progress."

I leaned my head against the seat, "Nothing makes sense anymore."

"Did it ever?"

"Well that was battle strategy this is emotions."

"Ohh, for who?" She said waggling her eyebrows as she slammed the breaks into the parking space.

"Geez Amber!"

"Sorry."

"How am I gonna get inside?"

"Good point we could-" She stared in shock and I heard the door behind me open.

is there a burglar behind me? Murderer? Who? I big tan hand went around me and hit the little red button and the hands carefully maneuvered it around my small frame.

I frowned, "Black Star why are you here?" I said turning around at his smirking face.

"Well I came to help you of course! You can't walk without the supreme Black Star's help! So it looks like I have to hang around you for a whole two weeks HAHAHA!"

I cringed, "Stop yelling. NO PLEASE SPARE ME GET ME A WHEEL CHAIR OR SOMETHING JUST NOT BLACK STAR!" I whaled at the heavens.

"Maka stop yelling." Black Star said and I glared daggers at him, "Besides I'm god so I decide!"

I heard Amber laughing her head off in the back ground to see tears running down her cheeks, one hand clutching her stomach . Her head was against the steering wheel as she gasped for air, "It's not funny! Do you know how much I'm about to go through?"

"You… Guys… Are… So… Stupid…" She said as new gasps of laughter came over her.

"As you can see most people are over come in joy in my presence!"

I rolled my eyes and looked at Black Star, "Tell you what, just take me home and leave me alone." I smiled.

He shrugged and picked me up, bad choice I was locked in again over come with this feeling of… some kind of pleasure. I snuggled in the warm abyss and was shocked when I was pulled into a pleasurable sleep.

"Maka…" I was stirred from my sleep but kept my eyes shut, "Why you…?" I felt the embrace tighten around me and felt warm lips brushed mine, "Thank you for the challenge."

My eyes fluttered and slowly and was greeted by… a nose. I still felt the lips on mine, I looked around I looked up and saw the tips of electric blue hair.

I felt my lips move on their own as it made the perfect movement to match the ones pressed against mine. They parted and closed moving in perfect movement as the warmth around me left. I saw the nose get smaller until I could see the whole face of Black Star.

"Black Star?!" I rolled and hit cold ground, "You were freaking kissing me in my sleep?!"

"W-what no! That's gross! Why would a god like me kiss little you?"

"I don't know but someone was definitely just…"

"Maka get a hold of yourself. Nobody was just kissing you I swear." He said and picked me up.

For the first time I was to baffled to relax and was stirred. "Black Star put me down! Where are we?"

"You damn apartment! Stop spazzing and calm the fuck down! I'm just gonna-"

"You wont do anything except put me down I'll crawl or something!"

He dropped me, just let me go and my arm hit his feet. He looked sorry but stood there and shoved his hands in his pockets, "Whatever." He stopped out and slammed the door so hard that it shook the apartment.

You asked for it. He left you, just like you wanted to. Tears brimmed my eyes, why am I crying? My conscience is right this is exactly what I asked him to do. Leave me alone. I just didn't think it would be this lonely… No I won't cry that makes me feel weak. Just crawl like you said, I curled up in a ball and sat there dwelling in my own thoughts.

"Maka?" There was a knock at the door, "Can we come in?"

"Yes!" I called and tried to put on a happy tone but even I could tell it sounded strained.

Patty popped her head in, "HI HI! We've been looking all over for you silly!"

Somebody shoved her and I saw Liz slam the door all the way open, "We want in too!"

"Hello Maka, how are you?" Kid asked.

"I'm fine so how can I be of assistance?" I said in sarcastic proper voice.

"Well if you could come to the beach with us tomorrow that would be amazing!" Tsubaki said.

I could see Black Star leaning against the wall in the hall facing away from us. I could tell because I could only see a eighth of his arm.

My smile strained, "Actually Soul should be coming home tomorrow and I should stay here. Besides I would be dead weight with my feet like this really go on without me kay?"

"But Makaaaa!" Patty whined she really hasn't change.

"You heard her. Lets go." Black Star muttered and the small strip of his arm that I could see vanished I heard his pounding footsteps down the hall.

"Liz, Patty can I talk to you?" I said they were always the girly one maybe they could help me. I mean they know about boys right?

Kid frowned around waved off the situation before making an exit.

"So what's up?" Liz said making herself at home.

"Okay," I took a deep breath, "I've been having a problem to where I feel jumpy yet calm around a certain male. He makes me angry, sad, happy, and excited all at the same time. I get annoyed easily around him but yet I still like his company. He does random things that I don't get and makes me blush just at everyday words. My pulse almost feels like it races around the male and I can't handle it. I always feel a sense of pleasure around him but I'm to confused I can't express it. I've never felt this way around him until recently and I don't know what triggered it. I feel almost angry that he can make a fool out of me, but yet he saves me all the time. I get mesmerized by his eyes and I want to get close to him but at the same time run in the opposite direction. I don't know what to do because I don't know if I can trust him. If I get hurt then I might never love. And what if it ruins our current relationship? I don't want to be with him really because he annoys me, and makes me furious. He's loud, obnoxious, and has to large of an ego. But at the same time is sweet, kind, friendly and super charming. He's never betrayed me but I don't know why I'm not convinced, I can't love or even fathom that I like him because he's a complete idiot but how can I deal with this? What is this feeling? And how do I get rid of it?" The words so fast out of my mouth that I was light headed and my tongue was buzzing.

"So you mean you like Black Star?" Liz asked.

"W-WHAT N-NO!" I sputtered.

"Dense…" Patty said, "Very dense."

"I can't like him! I mean why should I?" I protested Impossible! the image of Amber in my head say 'Almost' invaded my head again.

"So very dense…" Patty said rubbing her temples.

I've never seen her this serious. "Well from what you just babbled it's pretty obvious."

"I can't be! Why would I like him? He so annoying and…and…"

"WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING DENSE?!" Patty screamed, "Maka if he makes you think and feel all of those things it pretty damn obvious! Does he make you happy?"

"Sometimes…"

"If he left would you be sad?!"

"Yes…"

"Have you ever dreamed of him in the last week?"

I nodded.

"How do you feel when he does carry you?!"

"Peaceful…"

"Do you want to get closer to him as in, Touch his hair, stare in his eye, help in when he's hurt?"

"Yes, but run my fingers through his hair that's just-"

"SHUT UP! Do you want him to rely on you!?"

I nodded at the screaming Patty.

"Have ya'll kissed yet?"

"W-w-well-"

"YES OR NO!"

"Yes!"

"Then you like him you dumby!" I heard Liz, I couldn't see her though Patty's burning blue eye's were in my face.

"B-b-b-b-b-but if I-I…"

"MAKA!" Patty yelled making my ears ring, "STOP USING YOUR FUCKING DENSE BRAIN AND USE YOU DAMN HEART! WHAT IS YOU HEART SAYING RIGHT NOW?!" She jabbed my chest with every word.

The words… They came easily to me just got stuck in my throat. I heard them chanting in my ears. I do. I want Black Star. Where is he? I need him! My heart was longing for his presence the very moment. I do feel happy with him. I love how he's so confident. He makes me feel invisible. When I am around him I know nothing will hurt me. He's never hurt before. He catches me when I fall and makes me stronger. He radiates his power and his soul glows brightly. I'm at peace when I'm around him and will always be in dept. to him.

"Well?" Liz said cautiously like she could see how terrified I was.

"I do l-l-li-like him but… What will happen if it doesn't work out or-or…"

"You think too much Maka. Besides he's already trying to get you to fall in love with him so just play along." Liz said.

I saw Patty coloring a giraffe in a coloring book on the table. She was giggling singing a little song completely back to her old babyish self. I shuddered, talk about mood swings.

"Play along?" The words fell of my tongue like I was trying to speak German.

"Yeah then you could just slowly fall in love with him and take it at your own pace without him knowing! God, I'm a genius!"

"Wait what challenge?"

"The one at the pizzeria remember?"

"That was the challenge?!"

"Yup!"

"So you want me to slowly, at my own pace progress my feelings when I already know I lo- like him… Then just play along?"

"Yup!"

"Hell no." I stated flatly.

"But why? It's the perfect plan! You accept the thought of loving him and get close, and he doesn't even know! Then when you do admit, ya'll get together and BOOM! Happily ever after!" She sighed dreamily, "It's bullet proof…"

"But I feel like I'm deceiving him. He doesn't even know that I like him yet."

"So?! A girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do! Sure it's a little… cheat. But still it's a good plan!"

"I just don't like it though."

"Look just see how it goes and if it backfires some magical way then I take the blame."

"So how does that fix anything?"

"If he knows that I pressured you into it then he has to forgive you! Wow I am on fire with the perfect plans today!" She applauded herself.

"But what if-"

"No more but's or if's seriously you're acting like such a worrying fool today!"

"But-"

"AAHHH!"

"What if-"

"Wrong answer."

"FINE! I'll do it!" I said throwing my hands in the air, I realized my butt was asleep from sitting so long.

"Yes! I can see it now, 'Liz the Match Maker!' on every bill board!"

"You're getting ahead of yourself, again."

"I know." She winked.

I still felt off about the plan and I was shocked that I could fall for such an idiot. The only thing I could think though as I absent mindedly chatted was, HOW COULD I LOVE BLACK STAR?!
