Hey everyone! Sorry for the wait! With school and everyhting, I just couldn't find the time to write. So, here it is; CHAPTER 6!
******Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, it's characters, names or locations. This is not for profit only for enjoyment.******
*I updated the 'Everyone's POV' part. Just described Maka in weapon form a bit*
Soul's POV
Every inch of my body hurt. I didn't even want to think of how many times this damn witc had knocked us down.
"Soul?" Maka's grip tightened.
"I'm fine." I lied. We were both tired and on the brink of collapsing. Next to us, Kid with Liz and Patty and Black Star with Tsubaki weren't fairing much better.
"I don't know how much longer we can keep this up." Maka said eyeing the witch who was ignoring us and playing with her giant fan.
Something was off about this witch. We had given it our all but somehow the witch remained completely unscratched. Maka had even used Witch Hunter, which had only made a slight knick in the witch's huge fan. What was going on?
"Awwww." Tessen was slumped up against her fan. "Is the fun over now, toys? Are you too tired to continue?" She childishly blew a raspberry at us. "No fun."
"URAAAAHHHH!" Black Star rushed her. With a fancy flip of her fan, Black Star, along with Tsubaki, went flying backwards again.
"Black Star!" everyone seemed to yell. He didn't move. Tsubaki, now in human form, kneeled by Black Star's head with tears in her eyes.
"Tee hee, You're all so silly. You really think you can beat me?" Tessen laughed. I felt Maka's grip tighten again. "How can you when I'm messing with your weapon's wavelength?"
"What?" Kid shot a look over to me and Maka.
"Of course I'm making their wavelengths slightly unstable. Even with a tiny, small adjustment," She smiled. "you'll never be able to fight 100% and you'll never be able to land a single scratch on me."
"Can't we just try to tune our wavelengths again?" Maka asked Kid.
"We are tuned. I don't see how their wavelength is messed up. Whatever she's doing, it isn't between the wavelength between weapon and meister." The witch just laughed.
"Kid, we have to call for Sid." Maka whispered as if that would make a difference.
"We can't." Both me and Kid said.
"What! Why?" Maka looked between the two of us.
"Because," Kid said with a sigh. "By the time they get here, we'll most likely be dead. They wouldn't stand a chance against her without knowing everything."
"I-I see." Maka's shoulders slumped.
"Maka! Don't let your wavelength get out of control! We can do this damn it!" I felt Maka's wavelength shutter.
"Awwwww." Tessen cried for a second time. "This is getting boring. No more chit-chatting." She raised her fan so that it was pointed at us. We prepared ourselves for an attack. Tessen just screamed, "Negative Wavelength!"
I saw a blast of horrible energy rush out and hit the Thompson sisters and Tsubaki before everything went white-hot and then black.
Maka's POV
"Soul!" Against my will, I dropped Soul while he was still in scythe form. My hands burned and, glancing quickly from the corner of my eyes, I saw the same thing had happened to Kid. He was rubbing his hands together while trying to check on Liz and Patty who were unconscious on the ground where he'd also dropped them.
Soul returned to his human form. Panic rushed into my chest as I kneeled next to him. His breathing was labored and he was in bad shape. Flash backs of Soul getting slashed open by Crona and of when he was nearly killed by the Demon God came rushing into my mind. My heart nearly stopped.
"Soul! Soul!" This can't happen. It just can't! I haven't even told him yet. He groaned. "Soul?"
"So…not…cool." I didn't know if I should laugh at that or give him a good Maka-Chop. I felt tears in my eyes and gave up and just hugged him. "Ouch…Maka."
"Tee hee. Isn't that cute! But it's time to end this now. Sorry, toys" She raised her fan again only to be smacked in the face with a thrown branch. I turned my head and felt my eyes grow wide as I saw who had thrown to branch.
"Tsubaki." She was hardly standing up and breathing hard. But she was alive.
"Maka," I looked down at Soul. "I can't transform into a weapon. It's like there's a block and I can't push through." I glanced over at Liz and Patty, they were just coming around. Then it hit me.
"That 'Negative Wavelength', it only hit the weapons. It must have somehow blocked their ablility to change." Kid nodded as he scooped up Patty.
Only the weapons…But not all the weapons. Well crap.
"That was my face!" Tessen yelled with a light blood trickle down her left cheek. "That hurt!" This time we were ready to move when she attacked. Where we had been was a giant crater.
"Soul! Kid!" We were hunched behind some bushes. "I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work." I gulped as the 'idea' passed through my head.
"Whatever it is, it's the best we've got right now. What can we do?" He caught Liz who was trying to carry a nearly unconscious Patty.
"Kid's right." Soul added still slightly out of breath. "The only alternative it getting our souls taken by that big fanned freak." My heart warmed at how willing they were to trust me. It gave me the extra boost that I needed.
"Ok, Kid, you go and help Tsubaki. I need you two to create a distraction."
"We're on it." Kid and Liz ran out to Tsubaki. Patty was placed further out since she was still out of it. Now it was time for the tough part.
"Soul." I turned to face him. He was pretty battered, but I felt my chest get all tight. His red eyes were fixed on my green ones and he had a slight smirk on despite the situation. I can't remember how many times I had stared at his eyes while he laughed or talked about music. How many times I watched to see what new face he would make at different situations and jokes. He was the coolest guy on Earth.
"Maka, I-" I didn't let him finish. I kissed him just like he had me at the steps of the school. I could feel his body stiffen before he leaned in and kissed me back deep and aggressive. This was a kiss. The only thing that made me pull back was the shaking of the ground as Tessen attacked Kid, Liz, and Tsubaki.
"Soul, do you trust me?" He looked just about as dazed as I felt, but he shook it off and grinned.
"Do you even have to ask." I smiled before taking a deep breath.
"Let's go then."
"Wait, what are we doing?"
"You said you trusted me." Soul made a weird face before nodding. Without another word, I took off running at Tessen's back. Soul followed. From then on, everything seemed to go in slow motion.
Soul and I ran at the witch's back as she focused all her attention on the three in front of her. They were throwing everything they could find at her while side-stepping her attacks. The distance between us didn't seem to be lessening. I tried to center myself and prepare for what was going to happen.
"Soul, swing when we get close enough." I said as another part of the rainforest seemed to explode.
"What!" He stared at me with an open mouth.
"You'll see." Another tree fell.
We were finally getting closer. I could see the pattern on the witch's kimono. But, all too soon, Tessen turned. Her eyes were wide and crazy. She saw us and raised her fan.
I held out my hand to Soul who grabbed it out of habit. But, instead of him going to scythe form, I was the one who prepared for the leap.
Soul's POV
I had no idea what Maka had in mind when she went running at the witch. I had to follow her. Had to. Something had finally happened between us. I couldn't let her go. So, when that psycho witch turned and Maka held her hand out, I grabbed it automatically. All too soon did I realize that I couldn't turn into a scythe. But Maka wouldn't let go. She had said to swing when we were close to the witch, I guess she had meant to swing her. So, when the witch was only four feet away, I planted my feet like I had seen Maka do so many times before, and swung with all my might.
Everyone else's POV
'WHAT THE FREAKING HELL!'
Soul stood there, with a witch's soul in front of him and a scythe in his hand. The scythe was easily the same size as Soul was in scythe form, but, instead of red marking and a red eye, the marking were green with a black skull where the blade met the staff.
Maka's POV
I had felt my body change from girl to scythe. It was weird, being the weapon and not the meister. But, it had worked; Soul had swung with all his might and my blade had caught the witch right in the middle as she held up her fan.
I focused again and felt my form got back to that of a girl. I stood there, next to Soul a little breathless. We didn't it. I turned to smile at Soul only to see a weird expression on his face. 'Oh crap.'
He turned and, to my surprise, hugged me.
"Damn it! I didn't know what was going to happen! You idiot! You could've died!" hesitantly at first, I hugged him back.
"Uh, what just happened?" Liz was leaning against Kid. "Did Maka just turn into a scythe or am I more beat-up than I thought?"
"It seems Maka's been hiding something." The expression on Kid's face was hard to read. "I'm guessing you inherited the blood from your father. When did you find out?"
I stepped away from Soul. "When I was fighting the Demon God alone. I haven't used it since though."
"What?" Everyone asked, shocked.
"Yeah," I rubbed my arm and gave a small smile. "This was the first time I actually turned all the way."
Kid just laughed, Liz looked confused still, Tsubaki had on a wavering smile, and Soul looked like he was going to have a heart attack.
"SO YOU JUST DECIDED TO TRY IT OUT WHEN YOU COULD HAVE LOST YOUR LIFE?" I felt my cheeks turn red and it had nothing to do with blushing.
"WELL SORRY FOR SAVING YOUR LIFE! IT WAS A LAST RESORT. YOU SIAD YOURSELF THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING ELSE WE COULD DO!"
"THAT WAS BEFORE I KNEW WHAT YOU WERE PLANNING! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE HAND?"
"Awww, they're fighting. Looks like everything's back to normal." Me and Soul stopped to look at one very beat up Black Star. Tsubaki gave a soft cry and ran over to him. "What I miss, guys?"
"The witch is dead. Soul and Ma-" Tsubaki was drowned out by Black Star's voice.
"AHAHAHAHA! OF COURSE SHE COULDN'T HANDLE THE POWER OF THE ALL-MIGHTY BLACK STAR! I AM A GOD!" We all groaned as Tsubaki laughed. The sun was rising and we were all tired down to the bone.
I stood by the first crater where our fire had been. So much had happened. I turned as saw Kid calling in to Sid and the others. Apparently they had heard all the noise but had held back. Sighing I turned to gather my scattered things only to run into something.
"Ouch, it still hurts there." Soul placed his hands on my shoulders to keep me from falling. Looking up, I didn't know what to say. My face turned bright red as I remembered the kiss I had given him. "You know, sometimes you're just too cute, Maka."
"Soul, I wanted to say I'm sorry. I didn't mean to compare you to my papa. I-"
"Don't worry Maka, I understand now. I-I'm sorry for how I treated you. I was really uncool." My heart fluttered.
"Yeah, you really are uncool." He shot me a look but I just smiled. His little half smirk appeared and he gave a chuckle. Before I could even get another word out, he kissed me.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, not too tight though because of his injuries, and his hands went to my waist and held me close. I felt as if everything else just didn't exist. Why didn't I just say yes to Soul the first time? But that didn't matter now. All that mattered was Soul. And his lips.
"Uh-hem." We turned to find Kid, with everyone else behind him, staring at us. My face probably turned crimson, but Soul kept and arm around my waist as he faced Kid.
"So, what's happening?"
Kid chuckled. "Well, the witch is taken care of, so we're going home."
'Finally.' I thought. I looked up at Soul's smile. 'Finally.'
Hoped ya'll enjoyed it! I'm goin to have one last chapter after this. Sort of a epilogue. Please look forward to it. Please review! ^ ^
