DISCLAIMER: I do not own Soul Eater or Naruto.

UPLODED: 04/16/15

WARNINGS: Blair and some swearing.

Hinata P.O.V.

I opened my eyes a little only to be greeted with blinding light. I flip over on my back opening my eyes slowly giving them time to adjust to the light. I listen to the sound of my soft breathing and I'm surprised when I hear someone else breathing. I turn to look beside me and see Naruto sleeping on the couch across from me. I think about this for a moment looking around the room and recall what happened yesterday. I look back at Naruto sleeping peacefully, his hair is ruffled and half his body is hanging over the side of the couch but he looks comfortable enough.

I sit up and look around the room; both Maka's and Soul's doors are closed. I guess I'm the first one up. I throw off my sheets and grab my bag, heading for the bathroom to change. I change quickly and then leave the bathroom. I look at Naruto to see that a black cat wearing a pointed hat has fallen asleep on his chest. Strange I don't recall Maka or Soul telling us they had a cat. Naruto stirs slightly and the cat's head pops up to look at Naruto. Naruto yawns and the cat stands up to stretch, but then Naruto turns over and the cat falls on the floor. It hisses at Naruto who is still asleep, the cat looks at me and meows. Then it walks over to soul's bedroom and scratches at the bottom of the door. I walk over and open the door for the cat; glancing inside all I see is an empty bed. The cat jumps up on the bed and looks around.

"Well, since Soul isn't here I suppose I could wake up your friend." The cat says. "Who are you two anyway and why were you sleeping on the couch?"

I'm caught off guard for a moment then answer. "M-My name is Hi-Hin-Hinata and my friend's name is Na-Naruto."

"Naruto huh, okay I'll give him a proper wake up Blair style!" Blair announces. The cat prances past me out of the room. The cat stands beside the couch and a second later the cat is no longer a cat. A tall woman with purple hair and very little clothing is standing over a sleeping Naruto. I let out a stifled scream and the woman turns to look at me.

"Blair, don't even think about it or you won't get any fish from us for the rest of the week." A threatening voice calls from Maka's room.

Blair freezes and I rush over to wake up Naruto before anything can happen. Naruto wakes with a start looks at me then sees Blair now sitting at the end of the couch. He immediately starts back away until he falls off the edge of the couch and with a loud crash he lands at my feet. He looks up at me with a confused expression, which turns into a smile as he sees the same look on my face. I smile back at him and blush a little.

"Hey Hinata you wouldn't happen to know who that girl is, would you?" Naruto asks nervously.

"She's a cat not a girl but she can change between the two forms whenever she wants." Soul explains now standing in the door way of Maka's room. "Blair, meet our new house mates; this is Naruto and Hinata."

"Soul, what's going on out there?" A sleepy sounding Maka asks walking to the doorway to join Soul. She is wearing yellow plaid pyjamas that cover her arms and legs. Maka leans on Soul and closes her eyes, Soul looks at her in concern.

"It's just Blair being her usual self is all." Soul answers, glaring at Blair who simply shrugs.

Naruto looks over the couch at Maka and Soul as his face brakes into a huge grin and he looks back at me. He stands up beside me. "I knew there was something going on between you two." He states almost proud.

Soul simply looks at Naruto and shakes his head. "There is as much going on between Maka and me as there is you and Hinata. Think what you want but know that being a Weapon and Meister pair means always being there for one another no matter what. As a Weapon you should be willing to give up your life for your partner because without them you're useless." Soul's argument earns silence.

Maka breaks the silence. "We better get going we don't want to be late."

"Where are we going again?" Naruto asks looking confused.

"Can I come too?" Blair squeals.

"NO!" The four of us answer in unison.

"Fine." Blair crosses her arms. "I won't play with you." Blair turns into a cat again before jumping up on the window sill. She looks back at us again before turning and jumping out the window.

My eyes widen in alarm. "Is she going to be okay?"

"Yeah she'll be fine." Soul answers calmly.

"This is a usual morning for you guys?" Naruto asks. Soul and Maka nod. "I'm sure Ero-Sannin would have enjoyed being woken up by Blair." Naruto mutters softly and his head drops slightly.

"I bet Spirit wouldn't mind that either." Soul laughs.

Maka twitches in response to Soul's comment. "Please don't talk about my Father like that."

Naruto's head shoots back up as he looks at Soul. "Do you mean the red headed guy with the cross shaped tie?"

"Yeah, that's the one." Soul nods.

"Hmm, okay." Naruto scratches his head.

"What are you thinking N-Naruto?" I ask him.

"I'm just coming up with a nickname for him is all." He smirks.

"Well you can do that tomorrow if you see him but we've got lots of work to do today so let's go." Soul laughs.

After breakfast we clean up and head out to meet with Black Star, Tsubaki and Lee. We walk through the streets of Death City back towards the academy. Maka says that there is a great space for training behind the academy.

When we arrive I see that Black Star and Lee have beaten us here but I don't see Tsubaki anywhere. It's late morning now, maybe 9:30 or 10:00, if I had to guess.

"Hey Bushy Brows, what's up?" Naruto calls walking towards Lee and Black Star.

"Naruto, Hinata I am glad that the two of you are here." Lee greets us with his trademark smile.

"How long have you guys been out here?" Soul asks the two of them.

"I would say about an hour or so, right Black Star?" Lee says sounding excited.

"Yeah that seems about right, but don't forget we did some training before we got here too." Black Star replies.

"Where's Tsubaki?" Maka asks looking around.

"She said she wanted to talk to Kid about the other day. Enough talking let's keep training Lee!" Black Star shouts and the two begin to spar.

"Alright, well now that Black Star has someone to keep him busy let's get down to it, Soul." Maka looks at her partner.

"On it Maka." He replies, as he transforms into a scythe in Maka's hands.

"Naruto, I'm going to come at Hinata. You have to turn into a scythe so she can block my attack. Ready, Go!" Soul yells.

I flashback to the first time I held Naruto in his scythe form, it was against Professor Stein. I didn't even have time to think, I just reacted to the situation. Naruto stood in front of me and started to glow then his form changed as he became a scythe before my eyes. I grabbed him just in time to guard Maka's attack from above and push back against scythe Soul using Naruto's staff. Maka jumps back with a smile on her face and Soul in his Weapon form is also smiling.

"Guess that was more than just a fluke, also we figure that you we the type that learned best hands on." Soul smirks.

"Alright let's practice your fighting skills. Hinata have you ever handled a scythe before?" Maka asks me.

"No, ninja don't normally handle Weapons this big." I reply looking down at Scythe Naruto.

"It's all about balance and from what I've seen you're very agile and have good coordination." Maka observes.

I nod, still holding Scythe Naruto in front of me readily in a fighting stance.

"This stance is good for both fighting and defending. You may find it easier to hold closer to Naruto's blade with your dominate hand to give you more power when you attack. Now I'm going to come at you again but this time I want you to counter attack. If you wish to continue fighting after that attack me." Maka stands prepared to attack.

"Are you ready, Hinata?" Scythe Naruto whispers.

I stare ahead at Maka and grip harder on Naruto's staff.

"I'm ready." I shout back.

Maka comes at me and I prepare to guard against her attack. Maka swings Soul's blade aiming for my left side. I hit the blade with the end of Naruto's staff causing Soul's blade to move just enough to leave Maka's stomach open for an attack. I thrush Naruto's staff at Maka but she was able to avoid the hit and counter attacks. Soul's blade catches the bottom of my sweater as I jump back to avoid being hit. I lose my balance as I land because I'm not used to the weight of scythe Naruto. In the few seconds it takes me to regain my balance Maka is above me.

"Hinata, guard above now!" Naruto yells.

I react to Naruto's voice immediately and block Maka's downward attack. Naruto winces slightly and I push away using scythe Soul throwing Maka off balance. This time I land firmly on my feet; holding scythe Naruto diagonally across my body.

Maka's stance relaxes and she holds scythe Soul in one hand to the side. "That was good; you two complement each other as partners. Hinata you're quick but I saw the first time you jumped back you lost your balance. The second time you were better but don't stand still long enough for your opponent to attack you directly." Maka advises.

I nod. "Let's go again."

Lee P.O.V.

When we arrived at the training ground Black Star said that it would be easier to show me how to project my soul wavelength instead of explaining. After a few friendly fights I have a better grasp on Black Star's fighting style. It is very similar to Naruto's style of fighting seemingly random but each move he makes is vital to his next.

"Alright let's take a break for a second, build up your soul energy and then hit me with your best shot." Black Star says holding his arms out vulnerable to an attack.

I look down at my hands, thinking back to the many times I had tried to mold chakra only to fail. That never stopped me before and I was not going to let it stop me this time. I would make Guy sensei proud even if he was not here with me. I focused my energy into my right hand and thrust it forward inches away from Black Star's stomach. Nothing happened then tiny balls of light exploded from my hand and spread out in the air. Black Star moved back a few inches, there were only about ten balls of light before the disappeared. I looked to the ground to see the dirt had been disturbed and lead to Black Star.

Black Star was smiling at me but looked slightly winded. "You passed the first test." Black Star jumped back a couple of feet. "Let's see you hit me now." He smirks charging forward.

I take my fighting stance; knowing he won't go easy on me makes me feel like Black Star's equal. I will also give it my all. I think to myself. Black Star flashes and attacks from the right, I dodge and counter attack connecting with his stomach. He grabs my right hand and pulls me over him; I focus my soul energy just before I pass over his head. I hit him directly but my attack is only strong enough to daze him. Black Star releases his grip on my arm; I flip and land on my feet. I sweep my right foot out to knock him down, but Black Star sees this and jumps over my foot. He thrusts his hand forward connecting with my left shoulder, I am able to put a little distance between us before he releases his soul wavelength. I feel something radiate from his hand almost 50 balls of light much brighter than mine shoot out. A purple dome surrounds us and my body flies backward in response to his attack. I land hard on the ground but avoid any serious injury.

Black Star starts to walk toward me. "You were lucky that you moved away a little before my soul wavelength hit you. Now do you understand the power that you have?" As Black Star reaches me he sticks out his hand, I take it gratefully and he helps me up.

"Let us spar again!" I demand, taking my fighting stance.

"You got it Lee!' Black Star replies doing the same.

Hinata P.O.V.

Tsubaki joined us around noon and brought lunch with her.

"How do I change back? I can't eat normal food as a Scythe." Naruto pauses. "Can I?"

"Hinata, do you trust Naruto?" Black Star asks me ignoring Naruto's question.

I don't even think before answering. "Yes." I respond confidently.

"Alright, then put Naruto down at your feet and take a step back." Black Star continues smiling. "All Naruto needs is a little motivation."

I place Naruto gently on the ground and take a few steps back then look back up at Black Star.

"Hey Naruto." Black Star calls. "If you don't want Hinata to get punched in the gut by yours truly you better get out of your Weapon form pretty quickly."

"What?" Naruto yells. "You're kidding right?"

Black Star ignores Naruto again. "You ready Hinata?" He asks me.

I nod. "I trust you N-Naruto. Don't let Black Star hit me."

"Wait! Hinata, I'm not ready…" Naruto says frantically.

"Here I come!" Black Star roars.

I close my eyes for what seems like forever. Naruto yells my name, but I remain frozen. I hear him before I feel the punch. I'm sent spiralling backward, I open my eyes to see that Naruto is now back in his human form. He was able to turn back, but not quick enough. Naruto is emitting a yellow aura before he disappears. I expect to hit the ground hard but I hit something else that is not the ground. I collide with it sideways and as I hit the ground I hear a grunt. I look over my shoulder to see that Naruto is under me. I roll off of him quickly. How did he get over here so fast? I wonder to myself.

Naruto smiles at me. "Sorry I couldn't stop Black Star from punching you but I always have your back, no matter what." He promises looking deep into my eyes. I'm now blushing furiously but I don't break Naruto's gaze because in this moment we are each looking far beyond the surface that is our bodies. We were looking into each other's souls. My body feels warm and I can feel our souls connecting, resonating as one.

We sit like this for a moment catching our breath. Naruto sits up first scratching his head. "That hurt!"

"Are you guys okay?" Maka calls.

"I think so." I respond sitting up slowly.

I can hear Tsubaki scolding Black Star.

"Black Star! I'm going to kill you!" Naruto roars jumping up and running towards the blue haired boy.

"Hey don't be mad at me you're human again." Black Star smiles brightly.

I stand up and run over to stand beside Naruto who is clearly unhappy with Black Star.

"That's not the point!" Naruto screams. "You could have hurt Hinata."

"Naruto; I'm fine." I reassure him.

"Let's all calm down and have lunch." Tsubaki smiled nervously trying to play peace maker between the two.

"Fine." Naruto growled sitting down.

Naruto and Black Star were glaring at each other for most of the meal. The food was amazing.

We had all sat and talked but as soon as everyone was done it was back to training. Black Star thought it would be unfair to fight Lee with Tsubaki and she seemed content to simply watch.

We trained for a few more hours then we said good bye to Black Star, Tsubaki and Lee for the night and headed back with Maka and Soul.

Everyone went to bed pretty early. The first thing Naruto did when we got in the door was lie down on the couch. A few seconds later he was asleep. I felt grungy after all that training and decided to have a quick shower before bed.

AN: Blair and Black Star are just so much fun to write for; they are sometimes really stupid but hilarious. Black Star logic- "I'll punch someone to fix this problem!"
