Chapter 4.
It's been about 1 week since I read the letter. I didn't tell Maka that I read it though. For a couple of days I didn't go to school, Maka had to walk to school alone. But she figured a way to make up for that… Hinata and Maka started walking home together. They're practically dating now..
"Bye Hinata!" I could here Maka saying that from my room, as he walked out of the apartment.
I snorted. Abruptly I heard a knock on my door. "S oul? Is your stomach feeling better? Can you go to school tomorrow?" Maka opened up the door to my room. "I got some good news!"
She looked at me cheerfully as she sat on my bed. "Ya? Like what?" I say snorting..
"Well, you know how Shinigami-sama said that we will be doing top secret missions using our new witch hunter?" Maka came closer to me.
"Ya?" I replied dully.
"Well, he just gave us an important mission that we need to do!" Maka was bouncing up and down by now..
"Oh, well uhhh, my stomach feels a lot better, sooo I'll go to school tomorrow and get more info on the mission.." I turned over on the other side, so I didn't have to face Maka.
"Great!" Maka's face suddenly changed. "Oh… wait… But I'll be walking with Hinata that day…. You can walk with us!"
"Oh… Uhhhh, you two can walk together. I don't want to get in your way…." I bit my tongue as I said that because right now I wanted to punch Hinata.
"Ok if that's fine with you!" Maka pranced out of my room. She obviously couldn't see that I was so sad and bummed out.. I guess this is how big we've grown apart, she couldn't even see that I hated every word she said in that conversation…
The next day Hinata came to the house and was waiting for Maka, while I was eating. "So, you're Maka's partner." He obviously was trying to rub something into my face.
"Ya? So what?" I was getting annoyed that he had to ask every single question that had to do with me and Maka.
"Oh, nothing, it's just that I think I'm more worthy of being her partner. After all you're absolutely nothing to her!" He smirked at me. I stood up almost spilling my cereal.
Just then Maka came through the door, "Good morning Hinata and Soul! What were you two talking about?"
"Nothing.." I said as sat down, trying to remain calm.
"Well let's get going Hinata!" Maka pulls Hinata, and he smiles evilly as he walks SIDE BY SIDE with Maka.
"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!" I was so mad. "BY THE POWER OF MOTHERFUCK SHINIGAMI-SAMA! GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO PERSONALLY MURDER THIS HINATA GUY!" I was so mad, that when I got to school Maka tried talking to me, and I totally blew up on her.. "WOW! OK I SEE HOW THIS IS! GO AHEAD! DITCH ME FOR THAT BUTT HOLE! YOU TWO ARE PRACTICALLY A COUPLE, NOW THAT YOU WALK TO SCHOOL TOGETHER AND YOU'RE ALWAYS STANDING A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO HIM. I READ THE LETTER! I'M YOUR PARTNER! HOW COULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER SWITCHING ME OUT!?"
"You- you read the letter?" Maka stuttered.
"HELL YA I DID!" I stormed off after I said that.
Suddenly the intercom comes on. "Soul Eater Evans, please report to the Shinigami-sama's layer."
When I got to his room, Shinigami-sama was already there. "Soul Eater Evans, I see that you and Maka Albarn, are growing rather far apart. This needs to stop, I have an important mission for you and you two need to be in complete sync!" Shinigami-sama was now scolding me. "You two better have made up, by the time I send you on the mission TONIGHT!"
"But-" I tried to explain to him the situation.
"BY TONIGHT!" He highlighted the words.
I left his layer, and walked to my next class. Maka avoided me the whole day because I yelled at her. Instead she stuck extra close to Hinata.
By the end of the day, I still hadn't made up with Maka because she was sticking so close to Hinata. This was bad, because we had an important mission together and we needed to preform witch hunter again. I looked at the clock, I only had one more hour to make up with her.
I caught her in the hallways walking with Hinata. "Maka, I need to talk to you. Alone."
"No. You're just probably going to blow up on me." She grabbed onto Hinata.
"Can't you idiot see that she doesn't want to talk to you." Hinata gave another grin.
I was deeply offended. "It's about the mission." Suddenly Maka's attitude changed.
"What?" We moved to another place so we could talk.
"Look, I know that we don't really like each other that much , but Shinigami-sama is expecting us to preform the witch hunter. And if we don't, we're dead. So what I'm trying to say, is that we both act like we've made up, just for tonight. Basically aTruce." I say.
"Fine." She nods.
It's been an hour and we go to see Shinigami-sama for more details on the mission. "Great! It looks like you two have made up!" Shinigami-sama claps his huge hands.
"Ya…." Maka and I say together, sarcastically.
"Well here is the mission. Someone Is on the way to becoming a demonic egg that will be the next Kishin. They are very close, and we cannot let them succeed. Because of this, we need you two to take him out by using your witch hunter against him. That is all."
Maka and I walk out of the layer, in complete silence. We get to the place where his next target is. We both split up to walk around to see if anyone, was behaving weirdly. We get back together. "Nope, I don't see this guy…" I say.
"Maybe Shinigami-sama gave us the wrong place…" Maka and I both walk back to DWMA, when we heard a scream of a women.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A high pitch scream came from a back alley way.
"Back there!" We run to the back alley to see that a man with a sword as an arm had stabbed a women, and was eating her soul.
"Tick Tock, tick Tock!" The man started laughing like a madman.
"Maka." I nod to her.
"On it." She reply's. I turn into a scythe, but suddenly she drops me. "Ow!" She looks t her hands, and they were burnt. "Soul! You did that on purpose!"
"I did not! You are such a liar! Hey! Quick pick me up, he's coming!" Maka managed to pick me up and deflect the man's sword, but then dropped me again.
"SOUL!" Maka was getting mad at me, and I was too. I could tell that because of that fight, we weren't in sync.
"Looks like you two aren't very good!" The man grins and laughs. "Too bad my toys get broken to fast!"
"What?" I say.
He charges at us, but Maka is vulnerable, because she dropped me. "Ah!" Maka barely dodges it and runs to grab me.
She picks me up but her gloves couldn't take much longer. "Soul! We have to preform a witch hunter!"
"Maka we can't! We aren't in sync!" I tried to defy her.
"Then I'll make us go into sync!"
We start to soul resonance. "Soul Resonance!"
"Soul! You're going to fast!" She yells at me.
"Well you're going to slow!" I yell back at her.
Suddenly the Soul resonance breaks, and I get launch away from her. "Looks, like the toy broke!" The man charged yet again to Maka, "GET AWAY FROM HER!" I yell as I revert from scythe to human form. I run to get in the way of the attack, but I'm too late.
Maka get's cut straight down the chest, from the top of her chest, to her stomach. "ARGHHHHHHH!" She screams.
I catch her as she falls. "Maka? Maka?" My eye's well up with tears.
Suddenly Black Star and Tsubaki came, and faced the guy.
I ignored their presence, because I was too busy crying over Maka, as she lay there in my arms. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.."
Black Star and Tsubaki defeated him, at last and walked over to us. "Oh my gosh!" Tsubaki put her hand over her mouth. "Let's get her to Professor Stein, immediately!"
3 hours later, Stein comes out of the room, shaking his head. "She has severe damage to her chest, and other internal organs.. She might die." My eyes widen, as I noticed that I never got to tell her my feelings. "S-s-she might die?"
"I don't know for sure, but she is in a severe state." Stein left to go talk to Spirit (Maka's dad), and I walked in. Maka was on the bed. She needed help to breathe.
"Oh my god, no way..." I sit in the chair next to her bed, and lay my head on the side of her hand. I start tearing up, and I clutch the bed sheets that she lay under. "I'm so sorry…" They tried to force me out because visiting hours were over. Shinigami-sama let me stay though because she was my partner. I stayed by her the whole night, repeating the same words over and over in both my head and out loud while burying my face into my arms because I was crying.
"What have I done?"
