I don't own Soul Eater.
Chapter 7
[Maka POV There Room]
I wake up to sounds of lights flashing and giggles….. giggles could only mean one thing…. the girls….
I groan and get up fluttering my eyes open I see Kid in my bed with his arms around my waist. I shriek and jump out of the bed. I look and see Liz and Tsubaki looking through the photos and awing.
"Tsubaki care to explain?" I say my morning was just ruined again…..*Sigh*.
"Um….w-we saw Kid in here with you and you two looked so cute we just had to take pictures. I am sorry…." Tsubaki says bowing her head at me.
"Raise your head. Now I have something I must do before we have another concert so get dressed Tsubaki and Liz you watch everybody. Understood?" I command and the salute walking out of the door. I turn to see Kid waking up and he looks at me with a dazed look. His hair tousled and his eyes droopy, he looks so cute.
I smile and go over to wake him up fully by Maka Chopping him lightly but hard enough to make him wide awake.
"Ow, morning Maka. Did you get enough sleep?" Kid says getting out of bed and I now notice how toned his abs were and I blush from the thought of wanting to trace around them.
"Y-yeah I did….anyway I need to get changed so if you could….I don't know leave." I say ushering him out despite his protest because he wants to talk. I shut the door and lean on it as I think of yesterday. The horror is etched into my mind whether my revenge was complete my misery clouds my mind.
"Time to get changed to go see Papa I guess. I don't love him at all but he needs to know while I am here." I say while getting changed.
I end up wearing: My ruffled black tank top with my black jean shorts, my moms black felt hat with a black artificial flower, my laced black boots with my black leggings, to top it off I am using my black weapon bag that is disguised as a regular tote bag.
I leave our room and go talk to Stein and Marie to change our route for today.
"Thank you Stein, I just think my 'dad' needs to know about Mama's death. I doubt he will care but at least he will know." I say using air quotes at the title, dad and Stein just nods and continues driving.
I walk into the living room and sit next to Tsubaki on the big couch and the others look at me worriedly. I ignore their gazes and think about how I am going to confront him without going monster mode.
I haven't seen the man since he supposedly 'sold me' so it will be kind of difficult to say anything and I keep thinking about what Cain said about him selling me for money… why can't I remember?
My head begins throbbing hard, wincing in pain and I pass out, ignoring the calls from my friends I fall into Tsubaki's lap. Images flash in my mind. Me in a glass tube full of blue liquid and my face twisted in pain. I then see what looks like Cain and he is holding a syringe in hand. Then a full memory comes into picture.
I was in a cage shivering holding my small, young, fragile body. A man appears, opens the cage and pulls me out, and throws me on the table. Looming over me he holds a twisted mad type grin that makes me shudder in fear.
"Maka Albarn you are in luck. You are the first candidate for this project to be a success. To do that we are going to put you in a nuclear reactor." The madman said and tremors racked my body in fear. He said dragging me to the nuclear reactor and with no mercy he throws me in.
"LET ME OUT OF HERE! I CAN'T BREATHE!" I say pounding on the glass which has kept me captive for over a day now but a surge of power surges through me. I feel panic bubble up in my throat making me scream really loud. I break the glass and the nuclear liquid floods out of it. I jump out and I was dragged away from the site and strapped into a examination table.
Cain, my uncle came towards me with a match in hand. He light it and threw it down on me despite my protests. He proclaimed this experiment to be how long I can stay on fire but to me this was pure hell. The nuclear liquid being added to the flames makes it burn my skin and makes my arms turn a harsh pink.
"Maka lets see how long you burn. Let me see the true fear that I want to see my dear niece and don't forget that I love you." He says and kisses me on my flaming forehead and quickly steps away from my burning form. I smile at his words and my heart dances with joy.
"I love you too uncle. Can we play after hours?" I ask him and he only nods walking away. It made joy fill inside of me. I passed the flame test and got away with a few things.
I look in the mirror and I see a big lunar symbol engraved on my six year old body. I ignore it and wait for Uncle Cain to come and play.
That night I waited and waited for him to show up but it never came and I cried in my cage all night. My red rimmed eyes shining in the darkness, I try to go to sleep.I made it out with only a couple of permanent burn marks. I make my way to a mysterious room and I find a little girl younger than me in it being experimented on. Her screams echo through the lab and makes me shudder from the torture I see before me. I run back to my room and sleep in my caged room, making no signs of my escape.
The next day I was taken to be shot multiple of times. The bullets fire at me rapidly and each and every one was deflected by my body. The only reason was because I was mad about Cain lying to me. I overheard him talking to one of his scientists through my super hearing even though the countless bullets ricocheted off my body.
"Sir are you sure you are okay to undergo these experiments with Maka, they are very risky. She is only six years old for crying out loud. I don't think her young body can take much longer because she might collapse from exhaustion." He says but I can only hear I can't see their movements. My head hit a hard object making my forehead bleed out but I ignore it listening still. The blood runs past my eyes and covers my face, dripping onward to the floor.
"Yes go on with them, that little monster can do anything now. I hate the child so her punishment for living, is only the beginning besides she was a mistake anyways. The girls father threw her away and put her under my custody for money. Look at her, she is just an experiment that went wrong and nothing more. The only reason we are still caring for her is because we can't kill her so therefore we can't dispose of her. Go find some other methods to do so. We did get her DNA so we could make a clone of her, maybe even have the clone kill her." Cain said coldly but suddenly there was an explosion in my cage and it leaves a gaping hole in the wall. My mother Kami came in and rescued me, leaving Cain in the lab shocked from what just happened. We are in a car and she looks ahead telling the driver something.
"...Mama…...is that you?" I look up at her with dead eyes and her face reflecting into my eyes of tinted like glass.
"Yes sweetie, its me. Shh….its gonna be okay, I promise to stay with you forever. I will love you and catch up with you instead of using you as a 'test subject' like the mother I always wanted to be around you. Will you allow me to love you truly Maka?" She asks tapping my nose making me giggle.
"Yes Mother…..Forever….I missed you so much. I wasn't able to see you since I was trapped in a cage. Where is Papa, will he love me forever too?"
"Um….well sweetie how about we go visit him. You can go up to him and talk to him. Just go and ring the doorbell. We will stop at the front of his house ." She says giving me a heart warming smile.
"Mama I overheard Uncle say that he made a clone of me. What does that mean?" I ask her and her eyes widen in shock.
"A clone! That means he made a copy of you! Thats not good, but anyways sweetie can you go visit him while I make a phone call." She says and I jump out of the car and run up to the door and ring it.
Seeing that apparently he didn't hear it I opened the unlocked door and I made my way in. My short body searching everywhere for him. I spot him in the living room with a big glass of beer in his hand. He took big swigs of the beverage not noticing my presence I walk up to him and tap his shoulder.
"Hn….what is it….." Papa asks looking down at me but once he did things went downhill.
"Hi Papa…...its good to see you again…" I say snuggling up to his leg. When I do this he throws his beer bottle at me, the glass shatters everywhere cutting pieces of my skin.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER! GO AWAY YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Papa says throwing pretty much whatever he could find at me.
"But…*Sniffle* I love you daddy….Don't you love me?" I ask with tears flooding down my eyes and onto my bloody hands.
"NO I NEVER LOVED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE! NOW GET LOST, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" Papa says picking up my wounded figure and throws me out of the house landing on the hard concrete. I feel myself lose it and I go into a flood of tears. A mixture of tears and still seeping blood is spilled on the concrete. I collapse on the concrete and I hear one thing… Mother…
"MAKA!" She screams seeing my bloody figure collapse onto the ground….so she was there all along huh….now I know the truth, the truth that my mind kept from me. The memory begins to fade and the once vivid image disappeared into thin air.
I wake up to see myself still in Tsubaki's lap and we are almost at Papa's house. I shudder at my previous dream which was actually my forgotten past. I rose up from Tsubaki's lap and at first I sat up feeling light headed, I fell forward hitting the ground. I jump up when I fell from the couch, that fall was a wake up call to my senses. I felt the blood gush out of my head but I just ignored it and got up looking to see Kid and Tsubaki still in the living room with me. When I fell I must have made a lot of noise because the two jumped out of their skins looking at the noise that woke them up.
"Maka are you okay? Oh dear God you definitely are not because you are bleeding. ITS ASYMMETRICAL!" Kid rants and Tsubaki fidget around and I just get up and wipe the blood off. Not a big deal at all. The bus comes to a sudden stop and I sigh because I am so mad I have to control my anger somehow… and I know how to now. I walk over to Black Star and I begin my plan.
"Black Star you are not worthy of my attention." I say and a vain pops in his thick, egotistical head and it begins.
"WHAT I AM NOT WORTHY! YOU THE SERVANT OF THIS GOD HAS NO RIGHT TO SAY THAT TO ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, THE GREAT BLACK STAR. BOW BEFORE ME YOU PESANT!" Black Star says smirking brightly and I feel myself let loose. I send him flying into Soul from a barrage of kicks and punches for calling me a peasant. Black Star's face was now bloody and swollen so he wouldn't be in a condition to do anything for the next….. oh I don't know...day….
"Woah, Maka calm down. Don't let BS get to you." Kid said trying to calm me down but I still feel my monster clawing at me waiting to let loose. I guess I can't control it so whatever happens to him just happens. I get out and walk into the store to see if my mom's friend is still here. Her name was Naigus, they had went to the same school together and became best friends with her. Naigus made this store with mom but since mom made the agency it was impossible to work for two places that were popular. Naigus catches me and runs up to me pulling me into a hug.
"Maka nice to see you again. How have you and your mother been?" Naigus asks with a curious look. *Sigh* I just have to be the bearer of bad news.
"Actually I wanted to tell you…..that…...Mom's dead…." I say and she embraces me tighter.
"Oh….well I am so sorry for the loss because she was a great woman. By the way your father heard you were entering town and he was asking all around for your whereabouts. Drop by and say hello sometime." She says and leaves. Oh yeah I am 'dropping by' all right. I hop into the bus and wait for his house to appear. Looks the same as always, two-story, messy yard etc…. same old same old.
I hop out of the tour bus and calmly walk up to his door and ring the doorbell. I put on a I don't want to be here really, but I have to smile as the door opens. He doesn't invite me in but he leans on the door blocking me from entering his house.
"Hi daddy…." I say with a sickening high pitched voice. My insanity slowly covering my thoughts and my monster out ready for the kill. My eyes turn dark and the aura around me gets darker but he doesn't seem to notice and just smiles away with that fake sweet smile of his.
"Maka darling I haven't seen you in years. How have you been honey?" Papa asks me with that sickening mentality he has.
"Great, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but….Mother is dead…." I say looking up at him with tears in my eyes. His expression stays the same….happy and I just really want to kill him right now on the spot, until…..
"Spirit darling…..it's time to play~." A young girl says and she appears next to Spirit in my mothers robe.
"I'll be there in a second….darling….. go wait in the bedroom…" He says quickly kissing her on the cheek. That's it I have had enough of playing nice here…..
"So who's that? She seems….nice…" I say biting down on my tongue making it bleed.
"Well….I got a girlfriend. I decided to stop messing around with girls and settle down with one once more…." He says nervously scratching the back of his neck.
"Eh….wonderful….but I just told you that Kami your ex-wife, my mother, is dead…" I say expecting some sort of reaction..
"Okay and….your point is…..there is nothing to feel about this…" He says staring at me and yawning loudly. Just like a twig I felt myself snap at those harsh words towards my mother…. how dare he….. Kami gave the best years of her life to him and created me to make one big happy family.
I snapped and I dragged him into the house despite his struggling and up to his room to his 'girlfriend' and I grabbed him by the collar to begin choking him. The woman in the bed ends up slapping me and pulling me off Spirit.
"Let go of me you God damn mother fucking hore. He deserves this and you deserve better!" I say and the woman still prys me off of him and starts to fight me. I deflect every attack she deals and I uppercut her knocking her unconscious. Not needing extra problems I throw her out of the window beginning with my special event that I have been waiting forever for, to return the pain he dealt to me and my now dead mother. The one that he doesn't care about any longer.
I throw the Bitch out the window and into the grass of the front of the house. I turn my malicious gaze to the man who is my 'father' and I get ready for the kill. Every step I advance with he takes steps back and soon his back is up against the wall with no other escape from me. He lifts a red switch and presses it but nothing happens. That was a waste….
"Game over. Do you realize how much you hurt me in many ways. You sold me for money and didn't care for my well-being. You left me there pretty much to die and when I came to visit you called me a monster and threw stuff at my 6 year old self and throwing me out of your house. So you know what I am here today for…. your soul…." I say and I begin using a barrage of attacks to him.
He is now on the ground shaking in fear of the fact that he will lose his life today. Oh well another life taken from this world.
"You little monster go away from me. I never cared for you or your mother, why should I? When you were born me and Kami spent less and less time together so when we got divorced and I won the custody battle I sold you to her mad brother Cain. I wanted you to feel the pain that I felt when Kami left me. You weren't supposed to be born at all, you were just a mistake and now a monster that kills. Nobody in this family loved you Maka not even your own mother. But I did, enough to give you away to someone who might fill what I haven't been able to do. Maka, if you just calmed down about this then we could talk and get to know each other better. Don't forget I love you, even when the others didn't I did. So please stop this madness and give your daddy a hug." He says getting up from his spot and holding his arms out for an embrace.
Is this what I have always wanted? For him to love me when others didn't….. I can't tell if he's lying or telling the truth but I really want to hug him….No I mustn't fall for his dirty tricks….
"Pity I really wanted to hug you. Stubborn just like your mother eh you little monster." He says and he looks and sounds like a madman.
"Who do you think turned me into this monster I have become? Look in the mirror and you will find your answer. Fucking sold me to a madman scientist for money… That's horrible….You are the true monster…." I say with tears starting to form in my eyes but I blink them back not wanting to break down crying.
*Click* I hear the sound of guns and I break out of my trance to see an army of men surrounding the two of us.
"Well, well Maka I guess this is the end for you not me. Goodbye daughter. I can't believe you were so gullible to fall into this trap. By the way, if you think that just because Cain is dead that others won't try to kill you then you are wrong….dead wrong." Spirit says smirking madly he waved his hands for the men surrounding me to fire and they do.
"What that can't be, I eliminated every one of those people in his hideout! You son of a bitch, never again will this happen…" I scream at him and he walks away behind the army of men. This oughta be fun…. Let the games begin.
"By the way, that isn't enough to kill him. She is going to find you and kill you, so be careful." He tells me making me more cautious of this situation. That is impossible, that move kills instantly, right? Who is this 'She' I don't know who he is talking about! I think to myself, but my train of thought was interrupted by an army of bullets towards me.
I pull a matrix and bend in different angles missing everyone of them. My concentration faltered a bit and I barely missed some of them. Their ammo ran out and I used my Aikido close-combat range, defeating them all in one go. I march up to Spirit and I take out my blood stained knife and I gut him in the stomach. A big hole in his stomach as he lies there blood everywhere from my kills…. Maybe everyones right maybe I am a monster….."Check mate." I say walking away from the bloody scene behind me. I would have cried but there's no point in it anyways.
Spirit rises one last time and looks at me with almost dead eyes.
"You…..monster…..I…...wish…...you've…never…..been…..born….Ya-." His breath was cut off and he took one final breath and his soul perished meeting with his maker.
"Alas I have finally gotten my revenge. Okay time to move on. Now lets begin writing our songs for the concert tomorrow..." I say making my way back to the bus slightly laughing my sanity takes over making me turn back to normal. Man that really is mentally tiring. There is one question that remains within my thoughts though…...
Am I really a monster?
[Kid POV Inside The Bus]
"Wow...Maka you sure know how to kick some ass." Soul says and I elbow him to shut him up.
"Family or not a kills a kill and nothing can change that. I am going to my room for a bit. Need to think of some new songs for tomorrow. Its still early like 10:00 so we have plenty of time." Maka said annoyed going to her room and slamming the door behind her, locking it.
"Well then someones cranky…." Soul says his mouth agape and Liz punches him.
"Hey look she had to see one of her parents die, and kill the other so how would you feel if that ever happened to you? Not too good I bet, just leave her be for a bit. She'll come around soon, time heals all." Liz says walking to the kitchen to fix dinner since Maka isn't in the mood to do it.
I look over at her door and I hear slight crying and whimpers. I go and sit next to her door waiting for her to open it for me. The door creaks open slightly and Maka peeks her head out to see me. I jump from the sudden appearance and I beg her to let me in so we can talk. Giving her the puppy eyed face, I see her starting to give in and she finally lets me in with a "Do whatever you want." I jumped with my heart filled with my love for her but I contained it and calmly walked into her room.
"Maka I know this is hard on you but remember I am here. You need to trust me, I know this week has been hard on you. Seeing your mother get killed by your tormentor and killing your dad. Even if you hated him from the bottom of your heart, he will always be your dad. I know that he may have not have loved you but I know that you didn't want it to end this way. In the end he was just an irresponsible parent that didn't want to raise you." I say to her hugging her in at tight and warm embrace. For the first time she wrapped her arms around me in return.
"I know but I have to stay strong for the group. I can't afford to be weak now after all that we've been through. I just can't believe how much bitter hatred he had for me. When he started calling me putting up a happy facade I actually once believed that he loved me, even if it was a little bit I was able to feel that small ounce of love he gave me. But when my memories flooded in I realized that he really didn't love me from beginning to end. You should have seen the way his eyes showed pure hatred. It made me think that I was just a nuisance to his world and that I don't belong in it at all." Maka says and her grip tightens around my back. I feel my shirt being wetted by Maka's tears and I ignore it and let her cry on me. My OCD is making my head hurt but I ignore it and let her hug me.
"What happened in your memories? Is that the reason why you passed out?" I ask and she shakes her head in response.
She breaks away from the hug and wipes his tears. She leads me over to her bed and we both sit down on the bed. I wait for Maka to say something and she finally speaks up.
"Well my father didn't want me and he sold me to Cain for money. Cain took me in and labeled me as a 'science experiment' but in reality I was just some mistake that couldn't be put through the test. So they tried to find ways to kill me and stuff like that. At one time I believed that Cain loved me but when I overheard him saying he never loved me I had bitter hatred for him and one day my mom found me, rescuing me from the lab that I lived in for almost a year. I went over to Papa's house and mind you I am six years old. I went over to where he was sitting and he was heavily drunk, he looked at me and he began to beat me calling me a little monster and other harsh things. He literally threw me out of his house all bloody and beat up. The last thing I can recall is Mom rushing over to where my young body lays and she cries. I realized from that moment that Mom was always by my side and truly loved me, not using a facade of any sort. That is why I truly miss her and now I will have to take over since I am the only child…..except for her….but she is not Mama's daughter. Spirit cheated on her throughout the marriage and the lady had her so I am not to surprised if she tries to take Mama's place. She will try to corrupt anything that I own or have…. " Maka says to me and her voice becomes shaky and raspy. Tears are falling out of her eyes from talking about this with me but I just wanted her to let her feelings out. She pounces on me and holds me tight in an emotional hug which surprises me because she never did this to anyone before.
"Who is her?" I ask wondering about her.
"You'll find out soon enough." She says her breathing becoming haphazard. Probably from saying so much.
I feel her voice vibrating against my neck and I gulp back a moan because her warm lips are pressed against my sensitive skin of my neck. I wrap my shaking arms around her mentally telling myself to not do anything that may make her feel uncomfortable in any way possible because she was pouring out her heart and soul to me and that would make her clamp up again.
Maka pulls away from my neck but still holds onto me tightly. Her eyes are glimmering and showing an emotion I have never seen her use with her eyes before. I can't help myself anymore, my love was practically emitting from my body that it made Maka be taken aback in shock. She gets up from the bed and starts to back away from me but I get up to and follow her until she is pinned to the wall. She freezes against the wall looking up at me with fearful eyes that look like a cat on the verge of death.
[Maka POV]
My back is up against the wall and Kid is moving closer and closer towards me, making me freeze because I thought he was going to hit me because of my naivety. But what I thought was wrong….. he bent down and kissed me….Kid kissing me made my body burn up with passion and as I know it I am kissing him back. He stops kissing me and I look up into his eyes to see them burning with love and passion for me and me alone. This feels so wrong…..at the same time it feels so right… I don't know anymore…...
"M-Maka I loved you from first sight. Whenever I see you it just made my heart beat out of my chest, I feel like I will love you even if you don't choose me I will keep my unrequited love for you. I hope I am not taking advantage of you. I want to hold you and comfort you, even if the world shunned you I would love you forever. I hope you accept my feelings." Kid says looking at me, waiting for an answer.
"I don't know Kid, I just feel so confused right now. Can you give me some time to think about it? I don't think I understand just yet." I say looking down at the floor when I feel him pull away.
He looked a little disappointed from my answer but it was soon covered up with understanding.
"Alright Maka, I understand. You have been through a lot so just take your time. I will wait for you for all of eternity. No matter how long it takes my love will be only for you. My heart belongs to you." Kid says bending down to kiss me on the cheek. I blush from the cute gesture and then make a small sigh of relief.
Kid leaves with me ushering him out and I close the door behind him. I lean on the door and slide down to the floor. I really need time to think, I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I mean I feel that I love Kid but I am not sure yet….I don't want to keep him waiting for my answer for too long anyways…...What should I do Mom?
