AN: This chapter will show Soul's soft spot. It will also show a bit of bravery. R&R!
I was furious! He put Maka through so much pain. For that, he would suffer! "I'm gonna kill you, you bastard!" I yelled, charging at the man in front of me. I was about to make contact, but he kicked me in the stomach and sent me flying across the room. My head bashed against the wall causing blood. Then, a memory of Maka flashed in my mind. Every time she would Maka Chop me. I smirked and chuckled a little. I loved it when she did that. It hurt like hell, but, she was always so full of life when she did it. I looked at the parasite and I knew that the mental and physical pain he caused her could take all of that life away. I loved everything about Maka. From her low child like pigtails, to her long legs. I loved the outfit she wore every day, and especially her combat boots. Hell, I even loved how flat she was. All of this made Maka, but my favorite trait from Maka, was her bravery. It was so cool. The way she used sheer bravery to defeat the Kishin Asura, it was amazing. She was... is amazing! I love her. This man before me, hurt her. I hated that. I hated it a lot. I rose from my spot. I always wanted to be as brave as she was. When I heard her scream, I could feel my heart breaking. I charged at the man again. This time, faster. I ran so fast that not even BlackStar could see me. Before the parasite even knew it, I was behind him, holding my scythe arm to his throat. He was shaking. I knew he was terrified, he should have been. Anyone who hurts Maka gets no mercy. Not from me. Before he could react, I slit his throat. There was a ton of blood. It satisfied me, I wont lie. I noticed that there were still a ton of men left. If it weren't for them, Maka wouldn't have gotten hurt, but, it was really my fault. I left her alone. That wasn't what mattered right now though. All that mattered was that these men would pay. I charged at two of them at once an with one quick switch between arms, the men were dead. All six-teen of the them. I know that not all of them would have gone to get Maka, but, most of them did, and they were all involved. All BlackStar did was watch. He was shocked that I killed so many. I was to, but it had to be done. I turned my arm back and dropped to my knees in this puddle of crimson liquid. I then remembered how this all happened. The electricity bill. Stupid. I don't want her to die. If she does, than the last words I would have said to her would have been, 'If I never did anything for anyone... then you wouldn't be alive now would you.' I stated to cry silently. I was such a jerk. I would never forgive myself. BlackStar came over and told me that he called the police and that we needed to leave before they got here. I nodded and grabbed some gasoline to douse the house with so that I could set it on fire, and there would be no trace of us being here. When we lit the house, we ran down the road as fast as we could, and as soon as we heard sirens, we jumped into the bushes. After the fire truck and all of the cop cars passed by we came out and started running again. about 5 minutes later we were at the hospital Maka was in. When we entered we asked to see her and we were given permission. We entered her room, we ran into doctor Stein. He said that Maka was in a coma and he didn't know when or if she'd wake up. This made my heart sink. I went to her bed side and sat in the chair next to her. "I'm so, so sorry." I said as fresh tears rolled down my bloodied face. I was surprised that no one questioned it. "I didn't mean it. I know that you tore yourself apart about that day, for such a long time. Now it's my turn." I said knowing that she probably couldn't hear me. Suddenly, the heart monitor started to beat frantically. "Stein!" I yelled. Stein showed up, but a little to late. Maka flat lined. My heart stopped for a split second. I couldn't breathe at all. "I- I- I'm s-sorry!" I cried and a tear rolled of my face and onto hers.
"I'm so sorry Soul." Stein said as he put his hand on my shoulder.
I shook my head in disbelief as I cried, whispering to myself, "No, no, no..." I felt dead inside, and as if it would do anything, I kissed her cold, dry lips. I stood up, and started to walk away. Until... I heard the heart monitor start beeping again.
I also heard a sweet, beautiful voice that I would have recognized anywhere. Even in a loud and crowded area. I loved this voice, so much. "Soul?" the voice said. I stopped in my tracks and turned my head slowly to see beautiful, and open eyes. Beautiful green emeralds that I thought I would never see again.
I ran to her bed side again and kneeled down, grasping her hand, "Maka! I am so, so sorry I just-" I was cut off by Maka's beautiful, angelic voice.
"I know. I heard you." she said with weary eyes and a weak smile. I smiled back and all Stein and BlackStar could do was stare in amazement. What made Maka smile even wider was when kid, Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki came into the room. "Hey you guys." she said, still weak.
"Oh Maka!" Tsubaki cried. "Thank goodness you're alright!" Maka was so happy to be able to see the whole gang. Even when her father came in, she was happy.
"Oh, and Soul, about that kiss." She said.
"Yeah... about that." I said rubbing the back of my neck. All Spirit did was give me a death glare and charge at me. Of course, I wasn't gonna let him shove me out of a window, so I stepped aside and let him run out the window himself. "Looks like he really needed to go somewhere!" I joked. "Bye Spirit!" All he did was stare at me in anger. Maka managed to giggle a little.
"Anyway, back to that kiss." She said as she slowly sat up. I looked at her in concern. "How about one more." She said. To be honest, I was surprised. "Well... are you gonna stay way over there, or are you gonna come here and kiss me already?" she said. All I did was smile, and walk toward her bed, and sat down beside her. I cupped her face and gently kissed her dry, but not so cold lips. I felt her smile against mine. "I love you Soul Eater Evans." she said when we broke apart.
I kissed her again, and when we broke apart I responded, "I love you too, Maka Albarn. I will never hurt you again. For as long as I live, I will protect you. No matter what."
When she got out of the hospital, we went home. Of course, the power was still out. All Maka did was look at me. I rubbed the back of my neck, "Oops. Guess I forgot again." Then, she giggled. I assume, Blair heard us come in because moments later she ran into the room and tackle hugged Maka.
"Ouch." Maka said as a nice way of 'get the fuck off of me ya crazy cat." Blair heard Maka and got off immediately, apologized, and helped Maka up.
"I'm so glad you're okay Maka!" Blair said. "You were gone for so long." She then started to cry.
"Aww, don't cry." Maka said. "I'm home now! See!"
"Yes you are." I said. "And you can never leave without me again."
She giggled at this, "I love you." She said.
"I love you too." I said back and we kissed.
"Wait... did I miss something?!" Blair asked. Yes. Yes you did. You missed a lot. And, I hope that next time something is missed, it is never as big as this. I thought. After the past few day's events, I realized that, sure, Maka could be bossy. But she could also be very loveable. I will never make the mistake of missing that ever again. I knew that I loved her, and I always will.
And they all lived happily ever after.
