A/N: I WILL WARN YOU! There will be character death in this fic, but it's more towards the end… but, good news, Daisya will survive!
Also, just want to point out, even though Maka is half-akuma, half-human hybrid, she is completely different from third excorsits! That will be explained at another point in this fic!
I sighed. I was finally able to get up and move around. I was still very sore… but hey! I'm okay now.
Lenalee and I passed many shops in the small town. We were going shopping for a present for her brother.
"I think we should get him another coffee cup," I suggested. Lenalee shook her head.
"We got him that last year… and the year before." Lenalee reminded me.
"Right… maybe a new-"
"Scram, you monster!" Someone yelled, interpting me. We looked up ahead to see an old man with a broom hitting, h-her…
"Ouch! Lay off a bit, will you?!" The Akuma that help Allen a few days ago, yelled stepping away from him. She brushed herself off and turned, and started to walk away, "The nerve of some people!"
I saw him coming at her again with the broom. Before he could hit her with it, she quickly turned and grabbed it from him, "This could seriously hurt someone you know."
She pouted and handed it back to him. He growled at her, and went back in to the shop. She put her hands on her hips and shook her head.
It's odd to see an Akuma do practically nothing when in contact with a human, let alone being threatened by one.
She perked up when she faced in my direction.
"Hey!" She waved at us. She started to run over, "Allen!"
When she yelled my name, I felt myself smile.
"Are you doing any better? I hope the stitches are holding up okay!" The Akuma beamed taking my hand in her own. I felt my face heat up from the contact with the pretty girl.
"Y-yeah… I'm doing o-okay…" I stuttered, to be surprised with her now hugging me. Lenalee looked shocked.
"That's great! I'm happy then!" She said, releasing me from the hug, but not letting her hand away from mine.
Her personality had changed from the first time I met her.
A completely different personality…
"You uh… seem different.." Lenalee said cautiously to the girl, apparently noticing the change in personality too.
"Really?" The girl asked, "I guess I was just excited to see you doing better!"
"Also, I was thinking a lot after I left…" She spoke up again, now with a more serious persona, "I decided that I owe my life to you."
"Huh? Why?" I asked, very flattered but confused by her statement.
I haven't done anything for her. I should really owe her, if anything. She save my life, cleaned up my wound, and took me home without harming me at all.
"I have my reasons. But for now, all I can do is thank you and protect you. I promise that I'll be by your side at all costs!" She smiled up at me.
Lenalee looked shocked.
She took a step back, "I guess now would be a good time to tell you my name! I'm Maka!"
"Ma-ka?" I asked, now blushing so hard, you could feel heat emanating off of my face. She nodded and grinned.
"That's such a pretty name…" I thought out loud, staring at the petite girl.
"Now, hold on a second!" Lenalee interrupted my staring at Maka. Lenalee grabbed me and pulled me away from Maka slightly. Lenalee glared at the Akuma, who seemed not to be phased by any of this, "How do we know that we can trust you?"
"Ah, a valid point." Maka smiled, raising her finger, "I guess there really is no way, but to decide for yourself! I can't force you to trust me."
"Are you converted, then?" Lenalee asked.
Maka grabbed ahold of my arm and snuggled against me, making me stiffen and blush furiously.
"Converted? No," Maka said calmly, "I guess you could say that I'm quite different from other akumas. I have a sense of what is right and wrong, and I don't listen to orders from the Earl."
"W-what? How can you just ignore them then?" Lenalee asked.
Maka smiled, brought her finger to her lips, and winked at Lenalee, "That's also classified information."
"Then-"
"Allen is the only thing that matters to me, right now." Maka interrupted, still kept very close to me. I wasn't frozen from shock anymore, but I was still on guard. We are dealing with an Akuma. She looked up at me with her big green eyes, taking my hands in to her's, "As far as I'm concerned, my life is yours."
We approached the gatekeeper, with Maka refusing to leave my side- still clinging tightly to my arm.
It was hard to belive that such a sweet small girl was responsible for killing humans. She's nothing like an akuma. She has soft skin, the biggest, rounded green eyes, and smells like strawberries (A/N: Yum yum).
All of a sudden, Maka stopped and let go of my arm. Lenalee and I turned back to her, "What's wrong?"
"I can't go any further." She replied.
"Why not?" Lenalee asked.
Ignoring her question, Maka looked at me, "I will wait here for you, until you come out again."
"Why can't y-"
"That should be obvious." Maka said looking in the direction of the Gatekeeper, "I can't pass."
Before I could object, she quickly said, "Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow morning."
She shooed me to go in to the Black Order.
Before the doors closed I looked back at her. She was gone.
A/N: LAMEEEE! That sucked so badly! Sorry!
BTW, My best friend is helping me make a PV for one of the last chapters for this! Check her art out! KuranoCat
