Chapter 4: The Battle Within Commences

Soul's POV_

I'm in... I thought to myself, It's so dark.. Where am I?

"Maka?" I called her name. It echoed. All of a sudden, a dark red light turned on. I could see the walls, but just barely. I walked down a long corridor and found foot prints. I decided to follow them.

"Maka!" I called out her name again. I turned around a corner and saw a light. I walked over to it and found her heart. I decided to walk inside.

"Woah," I looked around at all the different pictures of her emotions. There were some pics of her and her father when she was little, and some pictures of Black*star... There were a lot of pictures of me... "Maka? Are you in here?"

All of a sudden, I heard foot steps. "Who's there?" I heard the voice ask. It sounded like Maka!

"Maka? Is that you?" I asked, looking around.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Uhh..." I stuttered. Then I turned around and saw the girl. It was a younger version of Maka, but she was gray. "Ahh!" I shouted and turned my arm into a scythe. She whimpered, which made me hold back. Then she smirked. She tackled me down to the ground.

"YOU'RE MINE!" She grimaced.

"Actually, you're wrong," I heard another girls voice but I couldn't see her, "he's mine." All of a sudden, a dark blade came out of no where and punctured the girl's heart. She disappeared and the blade went away. I looked over to the dark corner.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"Soul? Is that really you?" She sounded like Maka.

"Maka, are you really you?" I asked. She walked out of the corner, her hair was down. She wasn't gray. "Maka!" I ran up to her and hugged her. Then I realized I was being uncool so I stepped back and held out my hand. She laughed.

"Let's go kick some ass," she said, grabbing my hand.

"Hell yeah!" I shouted, turning into a scythe. We headed out of the heart and a little further down. We finally reached her soul, but for some reason, it seemed to easy... Her soul was surrounded by black blood, but there was a small part that was still its normal color. We went in.

"So this is your soul," I said.

"Yeah," she replied, gripping me tighter.

"Maka, what is it?" I asked.

"I can sense her, the demon," she replied.

"Get ready, Maka," I said.

She nodded. It was silent. We stood there for almost a minute before we saw something like a dark shadow pass us.

"What was that?" Maka asked.

"Not sure, but whatever it is, we can't trust it," I said.

"Yeah," she agreed.

Then she appeared. The gray Maka. Almost everything about her was the same, except for the color.

"So, you think you can defeat me, huh?" she smirked, "when I'm the one who has control of the black blood?!"

"Maka, stay focused, don't let your guard down," I said.

"I know what I'm doing Soul," she replied.

"Well if you're so confident, let's get started, shall we?" She laughed. Then she disappeared and reappeared behind us. She tried to trip Maka but she jumped out of the way and striked at her. She fell back to the floor of the soul, then she bounced back up at hit Maka with her arm, which felt like metal because of the black blood.

"Ah!" Maka coughed up blood, hitting the wall of her soul.

In the Lab ~~~ Stein's POV_

I could tell they were struggling. Just then, Maka's friends all came in, without even knocking.

"HEY IS MAKA OK?!" Black*star shouted.

"Shh, Black*star," Tsubaki said, "Not so loud."

"I'm a god! I can be as loud as I want!" Black*star yelled.

"Black*star, seriously, be quiet," I said.

"Oh hey Stein," Black*star said.

"You guys came to see Maka, didn't you?" I asked.

"Yeah is she ok?" Patty asked.

"I'm not sure. Right now, she's inside herself, battling with the black blood that's surrounding her soul. Soul went in to help her. They're probably in her soul right now as we speak." I explained.

"I hope she's ok," Kid said.

"Yeah," Liz agreed.

"We can only hope things turn out in the best way they can.." I looked back at Maka and Soul, "almost anything could happen."

Back in Maka's soul ~~~ Maka's POV_

I held my scythe tighter.

"Maka," he said, "not so tight!"

"Sorry," I said. I glared at the demon.

"Maka," Soul looked at me through the reflection, smirking. I knew exactly what he was thinking.

"This is MY soul! LET'S GO SOUL RESONANCE!" I shouted. "Witch hunter!"

I striked at the demon, hitting her, but she got back up. "What?" Soul and I both said at the same time.

"RAAHHH!" I shouted, slicing her in half. She disappeared and then appeared behind me. This time, she succeeded in tripping me. I fell to the floor.

"MAKA GET UP!" Soul shouted.

She was about to crush me when I rolled out of the way. I got on top of her and held her down. She pushed me off and I went flying against the wall.

"AH!" I coughed up blood.

"MAKA!" Soul shouted.

I fell to the floor. Soul changed back into human form. I had blood all over my face.

"Soul," I said.

"Maka," he looked at me, then turned around and glared at the demon. She only smirked. She started walking over to us.

"Change back into a scythe..." I said.

"Maka, are you sure?" He asked.

"JUST DO IT!" I shouted. He nodded and turned back into a scythe. I grabbed him and tried to get up. She kicked me, hard. I flew back and hit the wall again. I coughed up more blood.

"Maka!" Soul shouted. I slowly got up, my legs shaking.

"I've broken you, and now your soul is mine," she laughed. She went to kick me again, but I jumped over her and landed on the other side of my soul.

"WHAT?" She screamed. I wiped the blood off my face and shouted, "SOUL RESONANCE!"

She turned around and immediately was afraid. I could tell from the look in her eyes.

"GENIE HUNTER!" I shouted. It worked! I did genie hunter again!

I striked at her, and hit her dead on. She went flying, hit the wall, and fell to the floor. She was coughing up blood when I walked up to her.

"This is my soul," I said pointing to myself, "And you don't belong here!"

I kicked her and she went flying. She hit the wall again, and fell back down. Then I took Soul and held him up.

"Let's finish this," I smirked. I sliced her in half, and she disappeared. All the black blood was gone. I could slowly begin to feel myself, and I could take control of my body.

"See ya when we get out," Soul said, high-fiving me.

"Yeah." I replied. He smirked.

Soon enough we were out, and I could move my hands. Then I opened my eyes and saw Soul by my face. He slowly opened his eyes and smirked. Then I saw the rest of my friends with big smiled on their faces.

"Hey guys..." I said.

"MAKA'S BACK!" Black*Star shouted.

Everyone came over to me and asked me if I was ok and stuff.

"I'm glad you were able to fight off all that black blood, and it would've been difficult if you didn't have your weapon partner come in with you." Stein said.

"Yeah," I smiled.

"He did it, even though he knew he could die if he went in," Stein smiled, "Now that... that is a death scythe to me."

"Thanks Stein," Soul said.

He nodded. "So Maka, do you think you can get up?"

"Yeah," I said. I stood up.

"Good," Stein said, "then you should be back to normal in no time. In the mean time, it's late, you kids should be in bed. Good night!"

"Good night Dr. Stein!" she waved good-bye and headed home.

Time skip! ~~ Back at Soul's and Maka's apartment ~~ Maka's POV_

"So, what you want for dinner?" I asked.

"Oh, no," Soul said, "I'm cooking for you tonight."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"I want to," he said, "you deserve it."

"Ha, ok," I smirked.

After dinner_

"That was good," I said.

"I try," he laughed.

"Well, we have school tomorrow," I said, "We should get some sleep."

"Yeah..." Soul looked down.

"Soul? You ok?" I asked.

"What? Yeah, I'm fine." He replied.

"Okayy," I smirked and poked him, "I'll be in my room."

"Alright," he gave me a toothy grin.

Soul's POV_

What if she's right? That demon girl... What if I am holding Maka back? ... Maybe... Err... But that was the demon talking, maybe she was just trying to get to my head... But still, Maka does have scythe blood in her, what if I really am just holding Maka back.. She could become a death scythe! Sigh...

"Maka..."

Soul: What the heck is a "toothy grin?"

MusicMaker87: You know! It's that smile that you give Maka every once in a while when you show you're cute shark teeth.

Soul: My shark teeth aren't cute, they're cool.

Maka: I think they're cute.

MusicMaker87: Yeah, they really are...

Soul: *face palm*

Black*star: There's TWO WHOLE CHAPTERS about SOUL and MAKA?! What about ME?!

MusicMaker87: Don't worry, your time will come :3

Black*Star: IT better come SOON.

MusicMaker87: Oh it will :3 :3

MusicMaker87: No! :3 :3 :3 :3 :3

Black*star: I'm outta here.

Excalibur: Did someone say, EXCALIBUR?!

Black*star: WHAT? Who said Excalibur!

Excalibur: You just did!
