Lucy fidgeted in her seat as Maka glared at her. She narrowed her eyes at her when she tried to look away. She had been like that for a few minutes. Erza ignored them and continued with her planning for the mission. She had no business with what was going on. The boys had gone outside to get some fresh air. Lucy tried remembering why she agreed to this.
Soul's eyes flicked open when he felt something on his arm. Turning his eyes to it he saw Happy poking and prodding his wrist. He smiled twistedly. When Happy poked right over his elbow Soul morphed his arm to a scythe blade making the cat scream. Maka jolted and woke up, immediately asking what's wrong. Soul, Gray, and Natsu laughed loudly. Maka hit Soul upside the head.
"He asked for it, he kept poking me." Soul defended.
"I was just wondering how you changed is all!" Happy yelled waving his arms up and down. Soul scoffed and stood up.
"I'm gonna get some fresh air." He said. Maka nodded.
"Im going too." Natsu said.
"I'll join." Gray added. The three stood and left the cart with Happy behind them. Maka turned her head and saw Wendy and Charle asleep against Erza's arm. Turning to Lucy she saw her shining a golden key with a cow symbol on it.
"Uh, Lucy." She looked up and put the key away. "I was wondering while we have some time, can I study your soul? So I can figure some things out." Lucy thought for a second.
"Sure I guess." She said. Maka smiled then closed her eyes. A green circle appeared at her feet and her eyes began to glow. She stared intensely at Lucy giving a Hmm here and there.
"Oh!" Maka said making her eyes return to normal. Lucy sighed in relief now that Maka looked less angry.
"Have you figured it out?" Erza asked. Wendy looked towards them. Maka nodded happily.
"Yeah I have! It was so simple I couldn't believe I didn't see it sooner." Lucy nodded and waited.
"It took sometime for me to figure it out because there seemed to be something blocking or maybe protecting your soul. There was maybe about 10 or 11 barriers."
"Barriers?" Lucy asked.
"Yes. They were all different. Then I figured it out!" She clapped happily. "Those souls you own or the "celestial spirits" are all protecting your soul!" Lucy looked a little shocked before looking at the keys on her waist.
"Really?" She asked. Maka nodded.
"Even though your own soul isn't very big." She slipped in.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" She asked puffing her cheeks. Maka waved both her hands in front of her face.
"Nothing! Nothing! You've never had soul training so I wouldn't expect your soul to be big!" She said quickly. Lucy sat back and crossed her arms. Soul then ran over.
"We have a problem." He said. "Natsu and Gray are fighting." Wendy giggled and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"That's nothing new." Lucy started. "They alway-"
"No they're fighting in a children's cart." Their eyes widened and they followed Soul into the cart.
Soul was not lying. Gray and Natsu were rolling around on the train floor while kids cheered each of them on. Gray had already lost his trousers and shirt while Natsu's flaming fist punched at him. Wendy flinched when Gray almost kicked one of the kids. Maka could practically feel the anger radiating off of Erza.
"On second thought, he doesn't need to know that bad!" Tsubaki said trying back away. Liz and Patti stopped her before she could.
"You said you would so just do it." Liz said. Patti laughed and pushed her towards Spirit.
Spirit was standing in the empty room looking rather worried. He fixed his black cross tie and began pacing. The room was empty and the classes were over. But he got called to this room by Kid saying they needed to talk. Last time that happened he got told Soul was trying to make a move on Maka! Well, it may not have been those exact words, but he knew that's what Kid meant! Then Kid shot him almost 20 times. He relaxed some when Tsubaki walked in looking somewhat calm.
"Hello Death Scythe" She bowed. Spirit bowed back.
"Hello Miss Nakatsukasa." Spirit replied. (A/N: Not sure if I spelled that right.)
Tsubaki fidgeted and avoided his eyes.
"Mr. Death Scythe-"
"Please, call me Spirit."
"Yes sir, Spirit." She said.
"It's about Maka." She started. Spirit cooed.
"Isn't she just amazing! So strong and independent! Even though I wish sometimes she relied on her old papa sometimes!" He ranted.
"Um, sir. I have news about her." Spirit straightened himself.
"During the battle with Black Panter, Maka was teleported away, to where we don't know."
"WHAT?!" He screeched. Tsubaki turned her long ponytail into chain and wrapped it around Spirit so he didn't run off.
"Unfortunately we don't know if she's ok or not!" She said quickly. He strained against the chains more.
"Shes also with Soul!" She closed her eyes and prepared for the worst.
Spirit stopped moving as he thought about what she had just said.
'Maka. Gone. Where? Unknown. With? Soul Eater. Alone with Soul Eater. Maka alone with Soul Eater.' He thought. He screamed loudly making Tsubaki cover her ears quickly.
"THAT LITTLE PUNK IS GONNA MAKE A MOVE ON MY MAKA! LET ME GO I HAVE TO FIND HER! WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU EATER!" He yelled.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Spirit fell forward unconscious. Liz and Patti tranformed back after Kid threw them over his shoulder.
"What an idiot." Liz said and Patti laughed. Tsubaki changed the chain back to her hair and checked on Spirit.
"Take him to the infirmary and let Nygus take care of him." Kid said. Tsubaki nodded, lifted Spirit on her shoulders and ran outside.
"That went better than expected." Kid said. They both nodded in agreement.
Well that was fun to do. Any way, the next chapter will be about the Fairy Tail mission! Yay! Hope you're ready for that! I'm also already working on my Christmas story! But it's not quite ready yet. So, until next time, WolfGal out!
Question for you:
Ever feel like you've forgotten something?
