Chapter 7
The rest of the day went by fast. Maka didn't really go back on the ice, she didn't want to get laughed at again. Kid nearly had another symmetry break down, but the group left before he could cry about it. The group said there farwells and went there own ways. Soul was so worn out from all the races, that when he and Maka got home he crashed on the couch, then fell of the couch and fell asleep on the floor. Maka wasn't as tired but was just enough so she could fall asleep. Because her little vacation was over, she had to go back to school tomorrow.
The next morning, it wasn't Maka who was up early, it was Soul. "hey, HEY wake up. Jeez Maka and you yell tell me to wake up early." Maka opened her eyes and saw Soul sitting on her bed with a spatula in his left hand and a plate with food on it in the other. "Come on, you're breakfast is gonna get cold. Oh and at this rate were gonna be late Maka."
Maka got up, rubbed her eyes and yawned. She blinked and smile. "Good morning Soul. I'm glad you're awake early." Soul smiled, holding the plate in front of her. It was eggs, rice, and bacon. Taking a hold of the plate, "Thanks Soul." said maka as Soul left her room.
After Breakfast The two got ready, and was able to leave at 8:30am. They made it to school in time too. As they were walking to Dr. Stein's class soul stopped by the board that held all the missions. "Hey Maka, did you sign us up for any missions?" asked Soul as he saw one of the missions with there name on it.
Maka stopped by Soul and looked at the board. "Soul, I was sick. I didn't sign us up for any missions." replyed Maka as she crossed her arms.
Dr. Stein rolled up to them, "Oh I signed you two up for that mission. Since you two failed at getting the first 99 kishin eggs, and 1 witch soul, you two had to start over. And so I thought this would be good for you two since you also missed class yesterday." Maka looked at Soul and both hated that day were Soul...ate a freakin cat soul. Stein's gaze moved from the board to Maka, "How you feeling?, that fever medicine must of worked quick am I right?".
Maka nodded, "I feel much better. So when do we start the mission?".
Stein looked for a clock. "well, right now. Just don't fail this, goodbye." Stein rolled off to his classroom in his favorite roller chair. The school bell rang, and the hallway was empty.
"It's been a while since we went on a mission." Maka stated as she stretched. This time Soul rode his motorcycle to school, so they would get there early. So they quickly drove to the site where the kishin would be.
20 minutes later of driving...
"Damn this thing is ugly." said Soul as he jumped back. As soon as they got to the site, the kishin attacked. It's face looked so demorfed, and had wierd looking claws. "This guy must of been ugly before."
Maka jumped back also. "Soul, lets go are you ready?" she turned to Soul with eager eyes and an open hand. Soul kept his focus on the Kishin, then when he got near Maka he smiled.
He took a hold of Maka's hand and grinned. His other arm turned into the blade of his weapon form, "I'm always ready Maka." as he said that, a flash of lights appeared, and he was in weapon form.
Maka held the magnificent scythe in her hand. A reflection of Soul appeared on the black and red blade. Maka looked from Soul's reflection to the kishin, "Looks like it's the end for you." After that Maka jumped into battle. Swiftly swinging the scythe left and right, not even breaking a sweat. After countless tries to attack it, her attacks failed. "Damn we can't land any attacks with those claws in the way."
"Well then i'll have to get rid of those!" said Soul as he transformed back into his human form, and left Makas hands. He ran up to it, turning his left arm into the blade, jumping and dodging the claws. He managed to injure one of the kishin's hand. But as soon as he did, the kishins other hand clawed at Soul causing him to fly back,and rip one of his favorite jackets in half and the shirt beneath revealing his chest. The claw left a little scratch mark on his shoulder. "You mother-fgrn , you freakin ripped one of MY FAVORITE JACKETS!, that's it your gonna die" said Soul as he got up.
Maka turned to Soul to see if he was fine, he was fine but his chest was showing. "th-the s-scar" said Maka. She froze, the flash back of the battle appeared. She kept blaming herself for it. She's been letting him get close, and only now remembers why she wasn't feeling good at school. Why she ignored soul. Why she didn't want Soul to be happy with her...because she kept blaming herself that she did that.
"MAKA LOOK OUT!" screamed Soul. That pulled Maka back to reality, but not fast enough. The Kishin slamed Maka with it's big ugly hand into the ground. "m-maka,MAKA!" Soul shouted as his arm turned into the blade, and attacked the kishin. It was hard trying to get to Maka while the kishin tried to attack him and fly him back, but he managed to get to her, although his back was bleeding from all the cuts.
Soul lifted half her weight up, head and back in his hand, "Maka...please answer me...MAKA!". Blood was dripping from her scalp over her eye, and a little bit from her mouth. She didn't move."m-maka, please...answer." No answer. Soul stood from Maka's body, anger fuel his desire to kill right now. He didn't say anything, his arm turned into the blade, and ran straight for the kishin. It only had 3 claws on it's left hand, and 2 on it's right. there used to be 4 on each.
Soul had chopped of both it's arms easily. And as he went to throw the final blows, he swore every slice, cut and stab. He killed the kishin. A redish orange soul popped out of the demolished body. As Soul grabbed the egg, and was about to eat it a voice called. "...s-soul..."
When Soul turned his eyes widen. He let go of the kishin egg and ran for his meister that was sitting up alive not dead, staring wide eyed back at him. "Maka, Maka your alive, I-I thought you were... don't ever do that again, that was so uncool." Soul hugged his meister, it sounded like he was gonna cry, but cool guys don't cry. Soul just held her in his arms.
Maka stared at him still wide eyed, she was about to unleash all her feelings right now. She felt bad for letting Soul always take the most damage, for letting him think she was dead, for letting him almost die, for being a weak meister. She gently put her arms around his scratched up, bloody back. "I-i-i...I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I'm sorry f-f-for everything, for almost l-letting you die, a-and scaring y-you!" cried Maka. She was crying so hard, and so loud. It truly scared Soul, but made him sad. He never has ever seen his meister have an emotional breakdown."a-a-and i'm sorry..." she gasped for air.
Soul held her in her arms as she locked on to him. Her tears mixed with her blood, fell down her face onto Soul's chest. "i'm sorry especially for this..." wimpered Maka as she moved one of her hands over his bruised, bloody chest, and softly landed it over his scar.
Soul pulled away from her quickly and made a face at her that startled her. She didn't stop crying. "Really? this is why you seemed all quiet, and hated me? Look Maka, It wasn't your fault, I chose to protect you. you're my meister, the most irritating, smart, beautiful meister ever, and i'm going to do anything I can to protect you. And besides i'm alive right? so just put that horrible memory away, like I did." said Soul as he smiled at his meister. She stared, then fell into his arms again.
Maka looked up into those wonderful red eyes of Soul, apologizing for being such a weak meister. After she said that, Soul held her gently by the chin, tilting her head slightly, "my little baka Maka...just shut up." and leaned in for a kiss. He longed for tasting those pale lips of Maka, they tasted like strawberries. Maka didn't refuse, it shut her up and all her worries, emotions, and depressions just disappeared. He pulled away, lifting Maka up, and grabbing the kishin egg and eating it. "thanks for the meal. Why don't we finish this up at home..."
Maka wiped the blood off her face, but it still flowed back. "finish what?" she asked as she sat on the motorcycle. Soul went back to the remainings of his favorite jacket, and put it on to cover the wounds, till they got home. It was already 7 in the night so they had to report to Stein tomorrow.
Soul walked up to Maka kissing her cheek, "I know you're my meister and all, but will you be mine?. My girlfriend, my sexy, smart, and strong girlfriend?". Soul had developed a love for Maka, ever since he met her but wasn't sure when he should ask. So that love feeling began to fade, until these past few days. She was driving him crazy, and he wanted her to be his.
Maka blushed, " sure. But things won't really change. And if you get a nosebleed over other girls, I...Will...HURT YOU!" said Maka, but that didn't really get frightened, he was used to it.
Soul got on the motorcycle, letting Maka grab onto him. "fine that settles it, we'll finish this scene up when we get home...". And he started the bike, and drove off, still not answering Maka's question.
"Finish What Up? asked Maka again as she blushed. Soul smirked.
