Soul thoughts/Blair's voice
Chapter 4 The carnival part 1
I woke up the next morning. I could feel my eyes are puffy from all of the crying last night. I had missed what might be the only chance of meeting her again. But still something was puzzling me, about the note she left.
"…I have to go home now…"
From this it seems that she needs to be or have to stay at home, but why? Out of all of the days she could have visit me why yesterday. Was it because she forgot? No, that can't be right…could it?
I sigh, just as something jumped on the bed.
Meow.
"Hey Blair, are you hungry?" I said.
Meow.
I watch as Blair jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
"Well," I said to my self, "ask a question and you get an answer."
I shook the blanket off and sat up. Stretching, I stood up and walked to the kitchen, where Blair was waiting by her food dish.
Meow.
"I know, I know just let me wake up okay."
I open the frig and open a bottle of water to drink. Once my thirst was quench I went to the cupboard and grabbed a can of cat food. I opened the can with the can opener and walked to Blair.
Meow.
"Here you go Blair." I said as I dumped the cat food onto her plate. I then grabbed her water bowl and walked to the sink to fill it up. Once full I gave it back to Blair who was still occupied with her food.
Smiling, I decided to make pancakes for my breakfast, since I haven't eaten anything in the last 18 hours. Walking to the cupboard I pulled out some flour. I then opened the refrigerator door and pulled out eggs and milk and sat them on the counter. I then grabbed a bowl mix and placed it beside the eggs, milk and flour.
"All right, "I said to myself, "Let's get to work."
I started to break the eggs and poor the yoke into the bowl. I then started to stir the yoke until it was completely thick. I than added the flour and milk and started to make the batter. Once the batter was done, I poured it in the pan on the stove.
After a few minutes the pancakes were done and I was hungry. I sat down at the table with my pancakes and covered it with syrup.
I smiled as I eyed the pancakes. So, grabbing my fork I stabbed the pancakes.
"Ah," I said, "time to eat."
Just as I was about to take a bite of my pancakes, my door burst open.
"YEA-HOOOO! BLACK*STAR IS IN THE HOUSE!"
"Black*Star you didn't need to burst into Soul's apartment. Gees, what's wrong with you"
My eye twitched as I stared at the group of friends I wanted nothing to do with.
What the hell? How did Black*Star break down my door? Better yet how…
My thoughts were cut short as Liz pointed her finger at me.
"All right Soul, you're coming with us."
I just keep staring at the bunch of weirdo's, because they are just so unpredictable.
"Well," Liz said.
I turn my head to Liz, '"Well,' what."
"Are you going to get up or are we going have to tie you again?" Liz said.
"Oh no," I said. "I'm not going anywhere with you people. I mean you broke down my damn door and came in uninvited. Plus, how the hell did you know where I live?"
I heard Kid chuckling.
"Oh, we just asked my father and he happily applaud."
Damn him…
"Soul, I'm not asking you again." Liz said. "Are you coming with us or aren't you."
I was starting to get annoyed with this sudden request.
"Quick question," I said.
"Shoot."
"Where is this place you guys are planning to take me too?" I asked.
I saw Liz smirk which cause me to gulp.
"The carnival," she said.
WHAT!
"The carnival!" I yelled. "Why the hell would I go to the carnival? I have no reason to go there."
"This is exactly why we're taking you." Liz told me. "You don't really go anywhere. So you just march your butt into your room and change. We're taking you to the carnival."
I sat quietly trying to figure out a way out of this. Unfortunately, for me I didn't see Black*Star and Kid slowly getting near me until it was too late.
"Hey, let me go!" I yelled as I struggle to get out of Black*Star and Kids grip.
Black*Star just laugh as he and Kid drag me to my room. "Sorry, no can do Soul. Kid and I are going to make sure you change for the carnival."
I growled, which has no effect on them what so ever. So here I was, in my room, changing just to go to some stupid carnival. I would have escaped out of the window, but Kid and Black*Star was guarding the exits. DAMN IT!
I took off my shirt and threw it in the hamper. I then took off my shorts and threw it in the hamper as well. Now all I was in was my boxers, and I could hear laughter coming from behind me.
"HAHAHAHA! Soul you look ridiculous." I heard Black*Star say while laughing.
I turned around, "SHUT UP!"
Kid was laughing too, but not as loud as Black*Star.
"Sorry Soul," Kid said as he looked at my heart filled boxer. "I agree with Black*Star. You do look ridiculous in those boxers."
"NO ONE ASKED YOU! And besides I happen to like these boxers, so you two can go buzz off." I said as I grabbed a shirt, jeans and socks and threw them on the bed.
"You know you could be caught dead if someone see's this on you Soul" Kid said.
I growled.
"What, you aren't going to change your boxers Soul?" Black*Star said with a sly grin.
"Back off," I said as I grabbed another pair of boxers and threw it on the bed. I then went to my closet to grab something. I just grabbed my favorite jacket when laughter filled the room again.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
I turned around angry, "What is it that is making you two laughs this time?"
I sweat dropped as I see Kid holding up my purple striped bunny boxers.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Kid said with a smug.
Angry I just swiped the boxers away from his hand.
"Give me that," I said as I took off my current boxers and put that one on.
"Hey Soul," I heard Black*Star said.
"What," I turn to see Black*Star holding my other pairs of boxers in his hands.
"You are going to die if you go out in public in these."
"STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF! Geez you and Kid are making it sound like you two are perverts."
"I AM NOT A PERVERT! I am a gentleman." Kid said, "Black*Star on the other hand, he really is a pervert. Huh, what do we have here?"
I watch as Kid grabbed something.
"Soul,"
"What?"
"Aren't these little sea horses?" Kid said as he hold up, yet another pair of boxers.
My face started to go red from embarrassment.
"Hey Soul, can I have this pair with the two baby chicks?" Black*Star said as both he and Kid started laughing.
After a few minutes I was finally dressed, much to Kid and Black*Star amusement, and we finally walked out of my bedroom. We walked into the living room to see an impatient Liz, a board Tsubaki and a hyper Patty.
"So, what took you guys so long?" Liz asked as we walked in.
"These two were being idiots." I said pointing at Kid and Black*Star.
"Hey, don't blame us Soul." Kid said.
"Yeah," Black*Star agreeing with Kid, "and besides sides it was the designs on your boxers that made us laugh."
I saw the girls stand there dumbstruck.
"What designs?" Liz asked curious as to what Kid and Black*Star was talking about.
I sigh and instead of answering I walked towards the door and open it. I then turn to the others and said, "Are we going or what?"
I watch as everyone looked at each other. One by one they all exit my apartment. I then notice Blair standing beside me waiting to clime onto my head.
I sigh, "Want to come with us?"
Meow.
I watch as Blair jumped onto my head. Smiling I grabbed her witch hat and walked out of the apartment. Once I closed the door, I locked it and put the key in my pocket. I then turn around and followed where the others are, as I put Blair's hat on her.
I heard her purr which made me smile even more. I looked up at the sky and watch as the clouds roll by.
"Hey Soul,"
I turn my head to Liz, "What?"
"Is it true that you have a pair of boxers with a bunny rabbit and another pair with two baby chicks on them?" Liz asked me.
I could feel my face going red, and judging by her amusement look it was.
Damn Kid and Black*Star.
"So 'Cool' Soul has a little soft spot for cute things." she stated.
I scoff, "Yeah, right. I don't have a soft spot for cute thing."
"Sure you do." Liz said sarcastically.
"I don't, and just so you know the store I bought them at didn't have anything else. So I had no choice but to buy them." I said to Liz.
"Okay, if you didn't have a soft spot then why are you still blushing?"
My eyes went wide as I looked away from Liz. It wasn't then I notice that Kid and the others were listening to Liz and my conversation.
"Yeah Soul," Kid said with his amused look. "Why are you still blushing?"
I groan, Why, why do these people have to humiliate me everywhere I go! WHY!
"Because we enjoy tormenting you," A voice said behind me.
Damn it! Stupid thoughts I hate you.
"Umm Soul, we can still hear you." Tsubaki said.
DAMN IT!
*At the carnival*
"Finally we're here!"
"Um, Black*Star,"
I stand next to Kid watch as Black*Star turns his attention to us…from across the street.
"Yeah Kid," he said.
"The carnival is over here." Kid said pointing behind me
I watch as Black*Star looked at us like we're insane.
"Are you sure?"
I watch as Kid face palmed. I then turn my attention to Black*Star.
"Black*Star," I yelled across the street.
"What," he yelled back.
"The carnival is over here. You're at the wrong place, now come over here so I can kick you for being an idiot!" I said getting annoyed at Black*Star stupidity.
Everyone standing beside me watch as Black*Star refused to move.
"I'm not moving until you guys tell me where the carnival is."
Oh my gosh. Is he serious?
I sigh, "Tsubaki can you go get him, before he gets in trouble."
"I could but I really don't want to be over there."
"Okay, Kid how about you?"
"Are you serious Soul? I'm not going to that place."
I groan, "Fine, I'll go get him."
I then started walked towards Black*Star across the street.
Once I got there a guy appeared behind Black*Star.
"What are you doing, kid?" I heard the guy asked Black*Star.
"I'm here for the carnival."
"If you want the carnival it's across the street."
"Oh, I thought this was a carnival."
I watch the guy lower his head toward Black*Star.
"This is an adult magazine store."
"Oh, in that case I'll take…"
"Oh, no," I said grabbing Black*Star, "you're coming with me."
I then dragged Black*Star over to where the others are.
"Hey, what's the big idea, I was going to buy some magazines." Black*Star said as I dragged him.
"No you aren't Black*Star." I said.
I reach the others and dropped Black*Star.
"Here's your pervert of a friend." I said walking pass everyone.
"Hey, I am not a pervert!" Black*Star yelled at me.
I ignore him and walked to the entrance. I then turned around to see that everyone was still standing in their spot.
"Well, are you guys coming or not?"
I watch as they just stared at me before coming to their senses and walking towards me. I just stand there as they walked by.
"About time you guys. Man, are you guy's brain dead or something." I said.
"What ever Soul," Kid said.
"Hey, don't mind me. You guys are the ones that brought me here."
I walked behind everyone as we entered the carnival. I never been to one, because one, I never wanted to go to on. Two, there was no one that I wanted to go with. So I'm just going lay back and observe the others.
I watch as everyone started to go towards one of the games. It was a weird game because apparently you're suppose to knock down one of the 'souls,' which are blue and has a mischief smile to it. I feel like I can relate to those souls for some strange reason. So, I received my three baseballs and was told the rules.
"Okay, kiddies the object is to knock down the souls. You get three tries, and if you knocked a total of three souls you get a prize." The booth guy said.
"Okay, sounds easy enough. Stand back people and let a God handle this." Black*Star said.
"Yeah, good luck with Black*Star," I said as I put down the baseballs. "I'll just be going somewhere else."
I started walking away until something grabbed me, holding me back. I looked back to see Liz. What a surprise.
"You aren't going anywhere without us, Soul." Liz said.
"Okay than, you stay here and I'll go." I started walking away, but Liz stopped me again.
"No you're not Soul. Your staying here and besides don't you want to watch Black*Star fail?"
It was tempting to watch Black*Star fail as something he thought he could do, but it wasn't worth it.
"Nah," I said as I started walking away for the third time.
"Ah, Soul you get back here." Liz said as she grabbed me and pulled me back.
"Hey, what the big ide-" I stopped in mid sentence once I saw the look Liz was giving me.
So I agree to stay and watch Black*Star fail. However I wasn't playing the game. So I watch as Black*Star attempt his first throw.
"All right I Black*Star am going to knock down the first soul and be a God. Then everyone will bow down and worship me and…"
"Oiy, 'God' will you just shut up and throw the damn ball already." I yelled at Black*Star.
"Shut up, I'm getting in my zone here. A God has their own zone to focus you know."
"Yeah right and I'm Stein's son. Just throw the ball."
"FINE!"
I watch as Black*Star windup and, threw the ball. Everyone watch as the ball went right pass the soul, missed it by an inch.
"HAHAHAHAHA! You idiot you miss it by a mile." I laugh as I pointed at Black*Star.
"Oh, yeah I bet you can't knock down one soul, Soul."
I stopped laughing and look at Black*Star.
"I can too, knock down a soul, in fact I can knock down all three souls if I wanted to." I said.
"Okay, than let's make a bet." Black*Star suggested.
"What kind of bet?"
"If you manage to knock down all three, then I'll do something for you. But if you don't then you do something for me. Deal?"
"Deal,"
Before I could register what was happening, I sudden find my self standing in front of the booth, with three baseballs.
"Okay, Soul now let's see if you can knock them down." Black*Star said.
I sigh, How do I get into these situations. I look at the first soul. I pick up the first baseball and clutch it in my hand. I look at the soul again and with quick movement of my arm I threw the ball.
I watch as the ball sailed in the air and crash into the soul. I watch in amazement as the soul crashed onto the floor. What was surprising was the look on the booth guy. I mean hasn't anyone won this game before.
"That one was just luck," the guy said.
I turn to the others who all have shocked faces on. I stared at them with confusion, but I quickly shrug it off and picked up my second ball. I aimed and threw, and just like the first one, the second soul fell to the floor. Again the guy had a shocked face.
"It is very unusual for someone to get two, but there's no way you'll get the third."
I picked up the third and last ball. Once again the soul is on the table and I carefully looked at the soul and with the same movement like before I windup the pitch, thrust my hand forward and let go of the ball. Time felt like it was moving slow as the ball traveled through the air. But time seems to return to normal when the ball hits the soul, causing it to crash onto the floor with the other two.
There was silent and awkwardness in the air.
"Impossible, just completely impossible." The guy said.
I quickly turn to the others who were stunned, but I turn back to the guy to receive my prize. Only he is still in shock.
What's with these guys it's like they haven't seen anyone win a prize or something?
A few minutes have passed and the guy was still standing there, I decided to say something.
"Um, excuse me," I said.
The guy was kicked out of his trance and he look at me.
"Uh, yes what is it?"
'What is it?' you still need to give me my prize, idiot.
"Um, my prize. I knocked down three souls, so I get a prize."
The guy look at me with a, 'what-are-you-talking-about,' face, until he remembered what it was.
"Oh, your prize right?"
Duh.
"Okay, just give me a moment."
With that the guy disappears into the back of the game booth. Then a minute later, he reappeared and with my prize.
"Here you go kid, one prize."
The guy handed me a pillow like soul. Only this soul has an orange brownish color to it and has two antennas like thing on the sides of its head and its smile. The smile is what caught me, it was warm. Then I notice in the back of the tent another soul pillow like this. Only it wasn't the same orange brownish color, no instead it was a very, very light blue soul. It looks like it was white, from afar, but I can see some blue in it. It has one antenna like thing on the top of it head, and has the same mischief smile to it. There was something in me that want it.
"Um, sir," I asked.
"Yes, what is it."
"What about that soul pillow." I said pointing to the pillow.
The guy looks back to where I was pointing to. He then turns his attention back to me.
"That pillow?"
I nodded.
"Come on Soul, you already got a prize. Why do you need another one?" Black*Star said.
I ignore him.
"It will cost you 5 dollars." The guy said.
I hand him the money and once again got three baseballs. I watch as the soul was place on the table. I threw my first ball and once again I knocked it down. I then threw my second and third ball and again I knocked them both down.
I could tell that the guy wasn't very thrilled, but never the less he hand me the other pillow.
I thank the guy and turn around walk to the others. I could tell that they were shock, but I didn't care. I have the two pillows and somehow I felt complete. More complete than I have in the last year and a half.
I stop walking, and look at the others.
"Well are we going to do something else?"
With that I started walking away with my two pillows.
A/N Yes, I'm done with this chapter. Well at least part 1 anyway but who cares. I'm done. I'm going to start a SoulxMaka story that won't leave, so I'll be working on the first chapter, before starting the 5th chapter. So I hope you won't mind the wait. But if you don't want to wait just tell me, and I'll continue to write it. But just a heads up, it'll take longer for me to update since I'll be working on two stories. Anyway leave a review and I'll see you next time:)
Sergeant Daniel out.
