The Red Eyed Demon
Chapter 3
(Maka)
I looked at the blanket with confused eyes. I don't remember getting blood on this. Atleast, I didn't. but I didn't see Soul with any bloo- I raised my head. Blood. No he can't be. There's no proof… I then realized the only way I could find out is if I ask him upfront.
I then walked to the, making hand form into a fist and knocked on the door.
"Soul? Do you have a minute?"
"Uh yeah come in."
When I walked in. I saw he was playing a play station game on his small t.v.
He then turned his head towards me and starred me down with his red crimson eyes.
"What's up?" he set his controller down on his bed gently and sat with his hands on his knees.
"Um…" I held up my blanket showing him the blood. His eyes looked a little worried.
"Were you bleeding or something on your lip?"
"Um… it must be the stuff that you told me that was on my lip."
"Oh, alright." I then turned and closed the door behind me and laid the blanket on the small couch. I then walked to my room and closed the door when I walked in. I sat on my bed looking out of the window just above my bed.
He's hiding something from me. I know it.
(Soul)
From that moment when she came in my room and asked me that, I knew she was suspicious. if I'm not careful, she'll find out what I am.
I slept in that Saturday because I was up till 1 o'clock in the morning playing my game.
I was awoken to the smell of scrambled eggs and bacon. I got out of bed lazily. Too tired to brush my hair or put on a shirt. I walked out of my room with my red pajama bottoms.
"Morning Soul!" she acted cheerfully as she cooked.
"Mornin. Breakfast smells good."
She then giggled and handed a plate of food to me.
I then stood and went to the fridge.
"Want something to drink?"
"Sure, orange juice seems good"
I then poured a glass of orange juice and handed her the cup. She then thanked me and we ate in silence. As we finished, the phone rang and I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hi I was wondering if someone named Maka was there."
"Um yea hold on a second." I then covered the phone speaker and called for Maka.
"Here." I then handed the phone to her. I walked out of the room and went in the bathroom to take a shower. I turned on the water and undressed. I felt the warm waater press against my skin. I then washed my hair following my body.
(Maka)
"Hello?"
"Maka? Is that you?"
"Kidd?"
"Hey Maka you remember me huh?"
"Well, of course! I mean we've known each other since we were kids!"
I then heard him chuckle over the phone.
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?"
"Wow I'd love to but…"
"Hm?"
" Soul and I have an assignment to take on today. Maybe tomorrow?"
"That's fine. Oh and Patty and Liz wanted me to tell you that they say hi."
"Wow! Haven't heard from them either for a while either! Well tell them I say hi as well!"
"Alright I'll call you tomorrow okay?"
"Alright! Bye Kidd!"
"Bye Maka." He then hung up and I set the phone back in its place
When Soul and I reached Italy, I remembered the last time I came here, I was with black star and Tsubaki helping them on a extra assignment.
"Hey where are we?"
"I already told you Soul, you should pay attention."
I rolled my eyes as he placed his hands behind his head
"Then what are looking for?"
"Jack the ripper."
"Huh? But why?"
"Because we were told to go after this thing, plus it was what the academy has been talking about."
"Well I thought the killings and jack the ripper were only in death city."
"They said that Jack The Ripper was coming here, but who knows why."
"Hm..."
(Soul)
I knew she was talking about me, but I won't do any killings. Besides I only came here once or twice, why would I continue.
When we walked into the small village, it seemed deserted. But before I could continue with my thought, I saw a bunch of men and woman, come out from their homes.
"What do you guys want?" a woman said to us.
I starred at Maka as she did to me.
Maka then took a step forward as the villagers took a step back.
"Were here to find Jack The Ripper."
They all seemed confused.
A man stood up in front of the crowd to speak for the villagers.
"We know nothing of this Jack the Ripper. But, there has been a man who came here once or twice and killed some of us."
I then sprung my head up. Shit, I'm screwed. But they might not say anything about me anyways.
Then, I saw one of the villagers stare at me with scared eyes.
"I-it its him." Maka then tried to listen more carefully.
"Who?"
She then acted more terrified by the sound of her voice.
"THE RED EYE'D DEMON IS HERE." She screamed.
Maka then turned her head toward me. And the villagers starred at me with terrified eyes this time.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH OUR VILLAGE?"
Maka was looking around and saw none else except for us two and the villagers.
"Soul?" I then sighed. There was no helping, I had to tell her.
The villagers started to throw rocks, and shot bullets at us as we ran out. When we got out of the village, I sat down next to a tree with my hand behind my head, and Maka just walked up to me and knelt down in front of me.
"Soul?"
I then sighed.
"I know what you're thinking about."
"Obvious huh?"
I then rolled my eyes as she did the same.
"Fine." I then stood and picked her up and carried her as we reached up in the tree, I set her down gently and she gripped on the tree branch.
"I'm the red eye'd demon. Okay?" I fell down on the branch and gripped the branch.
"What is that?"
"it means, I'm also jack the ripper."
"Wha-what?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But I never wanted to be this way, and I guess its kind of weird that I kill people anyways. It's like a drug Maka. As soon as I have just one, I go crazy and demand for more."
"So, you're a vampire is that correct?"
"You catch on fast." I then rolled my eyes as she giggled.
"So I guess my theory was right." I then looked at her confused.
"Wait so you knew?"
"Well, not exactly. I kind of thought so but I thought it was impossible to be one."
"Not really. All you need, is one bite from a vampire. It's all it takes."
"If you mind me by asking… how long have you been one?"
"Oh god, umm…since 1889."
I saw her mouth drop slowly, but I closed it for her.
"Wow."
"I guess that's why your style is unique."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"You should know. But if you can't figure it out, I won't tell you." She crossed her arms and I rolled my eyes.
"You're so stubborn."
She then giggled," Get used to it red eyes."
"Oh, what ever." I then rolled my eyes at her.
(Maka)
"Should we go back to the village now?"
I then stood." There's no point in it, unless you want to be killed. And I kinda don't want you to die. You mean something to me." I then began to blush a little.
"Hmm. What does that mean?" He was then teasing me as I elbowed me.
"Don't make me say it. You're such a kid you know?" He then rolled his eyes at me.
"Well, if you weren't so damn cute I would take it as an insult."
"Huh?" I was then blushing bright red.
"Here, I'll do something so you can understand better."
He then leaned me against the trunk of the tree, moving in closer and slow.
Now all I felt was his warm breath against my cold skin.
He then pressed is warm lips against my cold ones. It felt amazing. He then locked his fingers with mine and wrapped an arm around waist as I wrapped my arm around his neck.
As he broke the kiss, I wanted to kiss him more. I just couldn't help myself.
"Answer your question?" I then giggled as he chuckled.
"You know, how you said how drinking people's blood is like a drug to you?"
"Um yeah."
"It may sound stupid but, your kiss acted like a drug to me."
"Well, I guess I did an awesome job then." He then chuckled.
He leaned in for one more, small kiss. As I broke the kiss, I hoped down from the tree as Soul followed me, wrapping his fingers with mine.
"Should we stay a night in Italy?"
"Sure. Why not?" he then picked me up and carried me bridal style to the bike, setting me down handing me helmet.
"Ready?"
"Ready." I then wrapped my arms around Soul's waist , locking my fingers.
For once, I had an actual crush on a guy I really liked and he returned the crush with a kiss on my lips.
