"Ah-!" My breath escaped my lungs as I hit the wall, landing on the floor with a muffled thud. Everything hurt. I look a quick inventory. Legs weren't broken. My arms weren't either. I was checking my neck when Soul's voice broke my concentration.
"Maka! Get up! He's coming!"
Throwing caution to the wind, I sprang up, kicking the sorry SOB in the face. He ricocheted backward, stopping in a heap on the floor. The kishin egg came at my again, but his speed caught me off guard. Knowing I wouldn't have time to dodge or block his attack, I closed my eyes and braced myself for the hit that never came. I opened my eyes to see Soul standing in front of me, his arm transformed into a blade, blocking the kishin. I looked up at him with wide, fearful eyes.
"Maka! Snap out of it, will you? We have a job to do!"
I sat there for a moment, collecting my thoughts. Where was I? What was I doing? Then it all came back to me.
"Right! Sorry!" I yelled, adrenaline coursing through my veins. I took Soul's hand. He transformed back into a scythe, and we gave our dealing blow.
"Your soul in mine!" I yelled my signature phrase as we sliced through the kishin. It gave a horrified, pain-filled shriek before erupting into nothing more than a glowing, red soul. Soul transformed back into a human, taking the soul in his hand.
"Thank you for the meal," he said, and swallowed the soul whole. Everything was back to normal. But, something was still nagging at me.
"Hey, Soul?" I asked, hesitantly.
"Yeah?"
"Um…can I ask you a question?"
"I don't see why not."
"Um…why did you jump in the way like that?" I asked. My question took him off guard; I could feel it in his soul. He looked away, a blush tainting his tanned cheeks.
"I'll always be there to protect you. Until the day I die."
Sorry, I know all these are really short. My internet was down, so I figured I'd write some more of these one shots. I was bored. I also only had the music on my iPhone to go off of, thus, this was born. I thought it turned out alright.
By the way, I tried to keep the characters...in character. Hope it worked.
