Chapter 7- Tonight?
I nearly fell out of bed when the alarm clock went off on my nightstand at 10 o'clock. As an appropriate response, of course, I threw it against the wall. I rubbed my eyes sleepily and at my curtains. It was bright out. I sat up in bed for a few seconds before it hit me like a brick.
"TODAY'S THE CARNIVAL!" I shouted and stumbled out of bed. I ran over to my dresser and took out the grey dress and sleek black heels and hung them on the door knob of my closet. I stood back and admired the outfit from afar before lauching back into action. I quickly dressed into my normal clothes for a Saturday: Dark blue ripped jean shorts, a white tank, and a faded green zip up jacket with sneakers. I grabbed two hair ties for my pigtails and exited my room.
'I still have to go grocery shopping at the market, clean the kitchen and then clean the bathroom before I can even start to get ready for the carnival…' I noted. I had a tendency to make mental checklist in my head for the day. Still tying my pigtails, I walked down the hallway to Soul's room to wake him up. 'Soul gets to clean his bedroom and the living room.' I stood in front of his door while I finished one pigtail and then opened it. "Soul! Time to get up! What do you want for-"
"M-MAKA!" Soul stuttered.
His hair was still tousled from sleep. The strewn covers on his bed allowed me to see he was still wearing his usual orange sleep shirt and boxers. Nothing was out of the ordinary…
…Except for the massive trail of blood coming from his nostrils and skimpily dressed cat-woman-witch on top of him that was currently smothering him with her boobs.
"Nyan! Morning Maka~!" Blair chipper-ly purred.
"….SOULLLLL!" I said, a menacing tone in my voice. I ran at him, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him down on the floor beneath me. My eye was slightly twitching and he had the most horrified look in his eyes.
"M-Maka it's not what you think! I didn't do anything! I swear!" He pathetically cried. He knew what was coming.
"MAAAKAAAAA…CHOP!" I slammed my hand as hard as I could into his huge head.
Needless to say, Soul completed all of his chores with a mild concussion. And that suited me just fine.
-Kid's p.o.v.-
My alarm clock was quiet to say the least, but it woke me up just fine. I'm a light sleeper anyway, so it was unnecessary to have an unnecessarily loud alarm clock. However, that was not the case with both Liz and Patty's alarm clocks, which were still going off. 'I swear they both sleep like the dead.' I swung my feet off of my bed and stood up. After making sure my appearance was neat, I quietly exited my room. Making my way up the hall I found myself at Patty's door first. I could already hear the loud snoring. I jerked the door ajar and found out it was hard to open after the first inch, considering the floor was filled with small to large sized stuffed animals, mostly giraffes.
"Patty!" I whispered at first. No answer except for more snores.
"Paaaattyyy!" I tried again, still no answer. I was getting tired of this game.
"FOR SHINIGAMI'S SAKE, PATTY!" This time she lurched upright and looked at the door with sleepy eyes.
"Kiddo? Whaaat?" She rubbed her eyes, and then squinted them at me because she couldn't find me in her room.
"I'm behind your door." I added a face-palm for emphasis. "I want you to wake up then clean your room a.s.a.p., I can't even open the door it's so messy." I scolded her like this a lot, she had the tendency to never clean up after she played with her stuffed animals.
"Okay Kid…hey..have you seen my alarm clock?" She asked innocently. It was still beeping from somewhere inside her room.
I just shut the door. I was a lost cause anyway.
I headed up the hallway just a few more feet and stood in front of Liz's room. "Liz?" I shouted (the alarm clock was playing loud music) and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I put my hand on the door knob and gave it an experimental twist. 'hm, it's unlocked so…' I opened the door.
"KID? WHAT THE HELL?" Liz screeched, clutching her clothes to her chest. She was in her underwear and that was it, she had obviously gotten out of bed alright.
I smacked my hand against my eyes. "L-Liz! I'm sorry! The door was unlocked and no one answered-" I sputtered excuses. "I'll go!" And with that, I slammed the door shut before Liz could screech some more.
I stiffly walked back to my room to get dressed. 'I swear…they're never going to be twins in anyway…Their hair… boobs…..height…." I paused. I felt it coming before I even dropped to the floor.
"Whyaretheysodifferentttt.." I sobbed and pounded the floor with my fist. "Weapon form, sure but human form? Neverrrrrr!" and that's how most of the day went.
Later that day:
Maka's p.o.v.
I had just gotten done cleaning the bathroom at 6:13 p.m. I was just now getting out of the shower and it was 6:30. 'A half hour to get ready? I have to hurry!' I scurried to my room to change into the dress and put on my makeup. As soon as I got the dress to zipper Soul barged into my room.
"Soul! Wha-" before I can finished Soul began to shout.
"Maka! We've received an emergency mission from Lord Death to hunt a Kishin Egg not too far from here!" Soul explained. "We have to leave now… It might attack the carnival!"
"Right now?" I questioned. Tonight's the night I've been waiting for. It might be the only chance I get to meet D.K… Then another thought hit me.
He's probably going leave when I'm late…He's going to think I ditched him… he'd probably never want to see me again...or even write me. I sighed heavily because I knew there was no helping it, an order from Lord Death was an order. Soul had the most awful look on his face when he saw mine. My fists were clenched to keep the tears of disappointment and anger from falling, my eyes were stitched together forming a painful expression while my eyes shimmered on the verge of tears and my mouth was curled in a mournful frown. He knew how excited I was. He wrapped me in a big bear hug and apologized. I hugged him back and was nearly in tears. Then a sudden thought sprang into my mind along with fierce determination.
"We're just going to have to finish this enemy off a.s.a.p." I said into Soul's chest before looking at him with determined eyes. "Soul, go get the bike ready. We're taking this Egg down quick." I paused, "and hard." I stepped away from him and turned around to take the dress off.
"That's the spirit Maka." Soul grinned and slurped. "Souls always taste better when taken down with a real purpose." And with that he went to go start the bike up.
For some time I glared at the wall. Stupid Kishin Egg…ruining my night…it's gonna pay for this. I then threw on my meister get-up and ran to meet Soul on his bike. As usual, I hopped on gracefully and we skidded into the night, headed west towards the Kishin Egg.
-Kids p.o.v.-
I had just gotten home from a soothing walk around the neighborhood. I had to escape the twins before they were the end of me. 'Symmetry is key. Symmetry is key.' I repeated in my mind as I walked through the front doors of my mansion. I headed to my room and noticed that no one was home. 'Oh! Right, Liz and Patty went to the carnival early.' As I entered my room I looked at the clock '6:30…I need to get ready.' I swiftly unfolded my clothes and methodically put them on. Taking one last look in the mirror I grabbed my Death mask and headed down stairs.
I walked through streets calmly, even though my mind was racing with possibilities. 'I wonder what she'll say when she finally sees me…What should we do first? Hold hands? Or will she be expecting me to kiss her?' I blushed at that thought. 'Maybe that's too soon…' As I finally reached the carnival I quickly placed the mask over my face, much like everyone else, and headed for the far corner of the carnival. I glanced past the 'Koi fish catching booth' and made it to the Cherry blossom tree. With a sigh of relief I looked at my watch: '6:50…I hope she arrives soon…' I leaned against the tree's trunk and relaxed a little.
'Alright, I'm here, I'm brave, and I love her.' I closed my eyes and whispered that mantra in my head. I tried to picture what she would look like in my mind. But, the only image I could conjure up was Maka's green eyes, her quirky smile and those perfectly symmetrical pigtails. 'No, it's not Maka. It can't be.' I sighed and thought for a while…
"She'll be here soon."
