Souls face went red, "W-W-Whaaaaaaaaaat?"
Tsubaki soon turned red after realizing what she said, "No, no, no, no, not like sleep with her, just be near each other" she hastily spoke with a bead of sweat dropping from her brow. Soul's redness calmed down slightly.
"Why?"
"The others and I have been talking despite what Shinigami-sama and Stein said; we think that your wavelength will actually help Maka".
"But-" Soul began but then was cut off.
"Think about it Soul! Remember the night before we came here, she wasn't herself at all but when she was laying next to you sleeping, she was fine!" Soul blushed lightly at the thought of Maka sleeping on his chest and how she breathed. She was so calm, so peaceful. "I suppose wait, how do you know? You were sleeping too "
She paused, worried, "Black Star woke me "
Soul's eyes widen, 'that little prick' he thought, 'he could totally see'. Soul looked away with slight anger. "Anyway Soul, please, will you?"
"Yeah, okay".
The two of them walked back inside and down to the living room where everyone was sitting and chatting.
"Tell me again, what happened?" Maka asked. "You were having a shower, and you screamed because you fell. Silly Maka, you need to be more careful!" Liz answered, laughing.
Maka was deep in thought, "I must have fallen pretty hard ." She mumbled with her hand lightly to her chest.
"How is the bruise, Maka?" asked Kid sympathetically. "Sore, but it'll heal" Maka smiled. Kid smiled back with a feeling of relief that was short lived.
"Wait .how do you know I have a bruise?"
Kid froze. How was he going to escape this one without saying, 'Oh, I removed your towel to look at it I touch it too'? "Err When I came racing up, I saw Liz carrying you in a towel and she said you had a bruise "he trailed. "Ohh. Ha ha, so, what are we going to do?"
Kid sighed in relief once more. 'She doesn't suspect a thing' he thought.
"How about we have some drinks?" a voiced asked.
Everyone except one was in shock. The all looked at the owner of that voice. "Oh. My Gosh" they all sang out, even Maka.
"The responsible, mature one wants her 'youngers' to drink?" Liz and Patty began to tease.
"A god like me, agrees" said the oh too sure of himself, Black Star.
"Damn Tsubaki, what happened?" laughed Soul.
Tsubaki was now blushing heavily. "I-I-I just thought it would be fun ."
"I think your right" replied another unexpected voice. It was Maka. The others couldn't believe their ears, the two goody-goodies wanted to drink. "Haha, okay then. Drinks all around!" Patty cheered. Liz went to the cupboard and got out some drinks. She and Kid knew exactly what Tsubaki was thinking.
~Ten Minutes Earlier~ "Liz, Kid, I want you guys to get me and Maka drunk" The two stood in shock and just stared at Tsubaki who had a determined look on her face. "WHY?" they question.
"Well I thought it would take Maka's mind off having a bruise then she would stop asking questions and I feel that her soul and mind connect when we both have fun I mean, I'm no expert here or anything but I think I can help her, well, relax" replied an innocent Tsubaki.
To her surprise, Kid replied "I think you're right".
Liz grinned, "All right! Mission: get two girls drunk! Count me in!"
With that, the made a quick plan; Were everyone would all drink one, Tsubaki and Maka will drink enough to get well . drunk. Kid did admit that Tsubaki's soul had a strong affect towards Maka's soul similar to Maka's anti-magic wavelength. He stated it is because of their bond and also said that it is very common. ~Back to the present~ Liz handed everyone a shot and looked at Tsubaki. She had a very determined look on her face and nodded. "All right everyone, cheers!" Liz exclaimed. "Cheers!" they all replied.
Thirty minutes had passed and two girls, one blonde and the other black, were drunk. Kid noted how Maka's soul seemed to be a far more ease now; He also so saw that Tsubaki's soul started to 'cleanse' Maka's. They continued to sip on drinks that Liz and Patty were serving, not realizing that no one else was drinking nearly as much as them.
-? "Hey, T-T-T-tsubi .*hic* .you're my best friend in the whole wide world *hic" Maka slugged. Everyone laughed at the drunken meister. "Naww, really? *Hic* Love you too! *Hic" replied the tipsy Tsubaki.
Tsubaki moved in closer to Maka and placed her hands around her friends shoulders, and Maka's did the same back. "*Hic* T-T-T-tsubi? *Hic you kay? *Hic" A look of innocence crossed Tsubaki's face, "I'm *Hic* great" she hugged Maka. Once the hug was broken, the two girls looked at each other. There was shock in the air followed by laughter; the two girls were pecking each other over and over on the cheek. The laughter continued as the two kissed; they looked very disorientated.
"Naww *hic* you love me Maka! *hic*"
"'course, *hic* you*hic* sister *hic*" Everyone's laughter grew harder.
"Alrighty you two, enough skin ship for now" laughed Liz as she and Black Star tried to pull them apart however, they were stopped by a very distressed Kid; "NO! THEY ONLY KISSED ONE CHEEK! MAKE THEM KISS THE OTHER! NEED PERFECT SYMMETRY!" he exclaimed before finally collapsing perfectly onto a lounge. Soul stared at him with one eyebrow raised, "Do you even know what you're asking Kid? Pfft, so uncool" Soul laughed. "Come on Maka, time for bed" he continued as he 'relieved' Liz. "N-N-NO! *hic* T-subi! *hic* where y-y where go? *hic*" Maka struggled.
"M-Maka! *hic* Go. Me *hic* fine" the drunken Tsubaki assured. "Oh, *hic* okay-"and with that, Maka began to fall asleep. "Baka " Soul grinned as he carried her up the stairs.
Soul reached the rooms and lay Maka down on her bed, pulling the covers over her. He noticed some drool on Maka's drunken face. He took of his singlet and wiped her face, "Can't handle your liquor can you?" he laughed.
Soul turned to leave the room but as he did, he came face-to-face with Liz who had a devilish playful grin on. "And what were you doing Shirtless" she laughed. Soul's face went blank, "Er Maka had drool" he began but was interrupted. "Sure sure! And just where do you think you're going?" she teased. She snatched the singlet in Soul's hand and threw it behind her. "Patty~~!" she sung. With that, the other Thompson sister appeared with just as devilish of a grin on her face. "Hey Soul~~didn't you tell Tsubaki that you'd sleep with Maka?" She taunted, emphasizing the last few words. Soul's face went red.
"That's not what she meant!" he began to defend. "Haha, we know that!" Patty laughed.
"You do?" Soul said puzzled.
"YEP! HAHAHAHA-"
"SHHH! She'll wake!" Liz hushed her sister with her hands over the bubbly girl's mouth. Patty's face turned devilish once more. Liz was about to question it when she felt saliva begin spread all over her hands.
"EEW! PATTY! That's so gross!" Liz exclaimed. Suddenly, they were pushed out of the way as Soul walked out of the room with Maka in his arms. He turned back at them and whispered "You BOTH are going to wake her up!" putting stress on 'both'. Patty pouted her lip but only received a shake of the head before she moped on down stairs.
Soul carried Maka to the other bedroom and placed her down on the spare bed in the far corner. Sighing heavily as he turned to his bag, his gaze was met by Liz and Kid. "So not cool! When did you get in here?" Soul questioned trying to hide his shocked because of course, cool guys are never scared. "I need to talk with you" Kid trailed in a deeply serious tone.
"Don't worry, I'll watch her" Liz smiled.
Soul nodded and followed Kid to just outside the door, into the hallway. Kid halted, sighed and turned to face a rather confused Soul. Soul stared back curiously yet worried as Kid's golden eyes seemed to burn through him. After another sigh, Kid held out his hand with a vile of deep red liquid with a blue-tinted glow. Soul took it in his hand and held it to his eyes to have a closer look. "Um What is this?" "My blood "
Soul froze at his reply, "And why do you have a vial of your own blood?"
"It's my blood, and Black Star's wavelength; it's what I used on Maka's bruise. Seeing as I am a Shinigami, my blood heals wounds, diseases and insanity very quite quickly. And seeing how Black Star has a large Soul wavelength, some of it was put into it to help Maka's from feeding off any of ours If she stirs more than usual tonight, give her some of this". Soul was both shocked and amazed; this vial of red-blue was what helped Maka? "Okay where do I put it?" "It depends if she is thrashing about more than usual, put it on her temple. If she moves about uncontrollably and you cannot keep her calm, it needs to go on the bruise " Kid explained.
"The Bruise?"
"Don't worry; Liz is going to be in the same room tonight so she can help" the child of Death assured. Soul sighed and exclaimed how messed up things were becoming then walked back to the bedroom.
Liz was cradling Maka and brushing the hair off of her face. Recently, Liz seemed to be taking extreme care of Maka; she always said that it's because of the insanity that she felt while living on the streets is about the same 'first' stage that Maka will feel and expresses that she doesn't want Maka to 'lose herself' like she did. She may be scared of ghosts and other night-beasts, but Liz has a very kind heart. She looked up to see Soul looking down at her, showing his toothy grin. Kid grinned and said he'll be downstairs. Liz slowly got up, making sure not to wake Maka as she handed her to Soul. "Enjoy~~"she whispered to Soul. As she reached the doorway, she turned back and grinned, "lover boy" she added in an almost evil tone. Soul turned back at her in hidden embarrassment which just made Liz giggle. Soul was holding onto Maka once more as they both lay in the spare bed as the slow night progressed.
Meanwhile, downstairs there was still another drunken girl to deal with and not just any girl; a demon weapon. "N-N-No! No want!" the innocently boggled girl struggled.
"HAHAHAHA! NO WANT! NO WANT!" Patty cheered.
"Patty! You're not helping!" Kid hastily spoke.
"Where the hell is Black Star?" Liz exclaimed. "I don't know but if he doesn't help I'll kill him" Kid replied.
Patty's gazed trailed off to outside; she could see a faint outline of a tall figure but lost concentration and focus on it as the struggle in the room became louder.
Patty's face grew dark and it forced a bed a sweat to form on Liz's brow.
"P-P-Patty! Why the serious look?" Liz gulped.
Patty kept her fierce look and spun around Tsubaki, "SNAP OUT OF IT!" she roared.
Tsubaki's face trembled, "M-M-Me S-S-Sorr BYE!" she studded before running towards the stairs. As she did, she ran into a proud Black Star;
"RUNNING TO A STAR LIKE ME I SEE! AHAHAHA-" he began but was interrupted.
"SHH! Maka's sleeping!" Soul spoke from at the top of the stairs then walked back into the room.
Black Star ignored him then looked at his weapon with a grin.
Suddenly, he threw part of his wavelength into the weapons body which caused her to go weak at the knees. Patty, Liz and Kid stood in shock. "What are you doing?" they hissed but were answered with a huge grin from Black Star.
Tsubaki, who almost fell over, rose back up in a seemly 'sobered' way.
"My head hurts " she spoke, rubbing at her temples.
