Angel Awakening: Soul the Demon

It's amazing, how much a demon resembles an angle. You had the same shaped wings and all except the wings were two different colors and Maka always thought that maybe demons would have horns sticking out of its head, but not on this one their isn't and it only builds up her curiosity more.

The demon only smirks at her as he makes complete circles around her as he takes in most of her features. She didn't understand what he was doing at all, so she only stayed in place as he continued to look at her. This particular type of demon wasn't what she expected at all. She would of thought he was, well, ugly looking. But he wasn't ugly at all...he was fairly cute in a way.

He finally stops right in front of her as he locks gazes with her, what was she to do now? Should she say something, but what of he was to take it the wrong way? Not knowing what else to do she only stared at him, as he continued to grin at her.

"Your a demon?" She asked suddenly.

He stared at her for a moment, she wasn't serious was she? But at the same time what can you expect from a newbie, she's a novice at this guardian stuff. He gave her a chuckle as he flew complete circles around her. Maka kept her gaze on him just in case he was to pull something funny. He shook his head in a shameful way.

"You have a lot to learn my angel. What did you think I was?" He lectured, shaking his pointer finger back and forth.

"I don't know, I guess I just...pictured you different that's all." She said, crossing her arms into her chest.

He had to admit, he's messed with a lot of angel before, but this one was something else. She kind of entertained him in a way without her even knowing it. She was so clueless yet so innocent sounding at the same time. If he was with another of Kami's angels right now, he would already be in a throw down, but her? She was new and different, so why not have a little fun?

"Why would I be any different angel? Explain to me that." He smirked, hanging himself upside down.

Maka watched as he started to mess with her, she knows what he's trying to do. He's obviously messing with her, but she has to remember what Liz said and what she was taught about the demons and their tricks, there no good at all. She continued to watch as he still gazed at her from and upside down position a grin on his face waiting for an answer. Maka turned her head the other way.

"I don't have to explain my thoughts to you. Besides I have work to do." She snickered, flying over towards Tsubaki's shoulder.

Maka ignored Soul's presence as she was just about to whisper into Tsubaki's ear about telling the truth. Something knocked her off her shoulder and she went spinning in a different direction. Once she regained balanced she looked over towards Soul who was throwing some sort of red energy ball up in the air before catching it with one hand. Maka send him a glare that he just shook off.

"Even though your new and stuff, doesn't mean I'm going to let you get away with sending this chick down the right path." He smirked.

"You know what, your are exactly how my people had described demons like you!" She snapped.

"Oh, I sure do hope I didn't disappoint." He joked, rolling his eyes.

"Trust me. You didn't." She growled under her breath.

Now Maka understands why angels and demons don't get along, they were bratty irritating self centered jerks and all she could think was how much of a pain this one is. He's really reached her limit now, and now she is officially annoyed. All he does is joke and play around and think that everything is fun and games. But what can you expect from a demon?

Maka focused her gaze back towards Tsubaki who was now shaking in fear as the waiter started to ask for the bill. She fiddled with her fingers a bit as she thought of an answer, Maka quickly tried to make her way back towards Tsubaki's shoulder, but again Soul was blocking her path. As he followed her every movement not letting her through.

"Move!"

"Maka me angel!"

She was now getting ticked, everywhere she would fly he would fly to that place also making it impossible for her to get pass. Great her first assignment ever and she's going to get it all screwed because of one jerk in particular and that's when it was all over. Maka used one of her spells to move Soul out of her way, but she was to late. Tsubaki and the waitress were arguing over how much everything cost.

She failed, feeling nothing but bad, she slowly let her self drop to the booth seat where she was sitting before as she hung her head shamefully in her defeat. She could hear Soul laughing, so she looked up and met those annoying red eyes once more that were now taunting her.

"I win angel, but don't worry, I'm sure this won't be the last time we meet." He smirked.

Maka only glared at him, with that he vanished into thin air. What was she to do now? She thought as Tsubaki made her way out of the cafe in a very steaming bad mood and it was all thanks to her. What was she going to tell Liz, most importantly, how will she tell her mother the princess of the angels had screw up her first assignment?

Liz couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something seemed really off about Maka. Before they ventured down into Death City she was as happy as can be and now? She was silently flying as they made their way back towards the heavens. Once they reached Queen Kami's cloud. Maka landed softly on the cloud before kneeling down before her mother, not saying a word.

"Maka, is something wrong my angel?" She asked her.

Maka paused for a moment, not saying a word. How was she supposed to tell her mother that her first job as being a guardian failed because she let some demon get the best of her? She knows she may be angry about it, and she can't lie about it, because angels don't lie. She took in a deep breath before speaking, Liz and Patty watched quietly.

"Well, you see mother, I failed." She whispered, not making any eye contact at all.

"What do you mean you failed?" She questioned, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I failed being a guardian, I met a demon today, and he got the best of me so I didn't get the job done." She admitted.

Kami looked at her daughter blankly for a moment, she didn't like the fact she wasn't looking at her, but she did love the fact that she told her the truth right on the spot and that was good enough for her. Maka slowly picked her head up to meet her mothers gaze only to see that she was smiling? Maka raised a brow in confusion not sure what was going on now.

"It's alright Maka, everyone makes mistakes sometimes." She encouraged.

"Yeah, even my first time as a guardian didn't go so smooth." Liz implied.

"Don't give up! try try again!" Patty cheered.

"Maka, what I don't understand is that, why you didn't call us when you needed help?" Liz questioned.

Maka only shook her head and put on a light shrug. She didn't understand why she didn't call Liz and Patty for help. Liz did say that if she needed any help to just call her and Patty, but she didn't understand why she didn't. Maybe in her mind she thought that she could handle this situation on her own. But then again she was dealing with a demon at the time.

"I guess I thought I could handle it by myself . . ." She trailed, feeling a little embarrassed of her actions.

"It's alright Maka, nobody is yelling at you, you messed up, we can try again tomorrow." Liz smiled, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"Thanks, Liz and I promise this time I won't let you down." She smiled.

"Now that this is all settled, how about you girls go and have some fun for a while?" Kami insisted.

"sounds like a great idea, what do you think Maka?" Liz questioned.

"I guess so, what did you guys have in mind?" she asked.

"Well since your a princess and all, maybe you should start looking like one." Liz smirked.

This is going to be interesting.
