My god, I can't believe how long it's taken me to get back to this! Gaaaaaah! *mutters under breath* Stupid school and homework and social life. Anyways, going to go ahead and try to finally wrap this story up so I can get on to my other one and potentially even put up a new Ouran story that I thought of! X3 REVIEWS ARE VERY WELCOMED! Tell me what you thought of my story please and fangirl (or fanboy) to your hearts content ^-^
"Oh my god, I completely forgot about Papa!" Maka rushed into the house, completely leaving the others in the freezing snow. He had gotten all worked up about leaving his "precious daughter all alone" that he threatened to stay if he didn't get a phone call from her right after dinner. Maka raced up the stairs, past the now massive hole in the wall that had recently been created, and dived at her bag for her ringing phone.
"H-hello *gasp* Papa. heh heh"
"MAKAAA!" he screamed, making the teen almost drop the small device. She sighed.
"I'm fine Papa, we just ate dinner and we already -uh- took care of the mission." she said as she sweat dropped, looking out her door and getting a very nice view of all the snow where the wall once was.
"WHAAAA?! Are you ok my little angel?! Did you get hurt?!" Maka just held the phone away at arms length.
"I'm fine Papa, and so is everyone else. I checked in with you, so I'm going to hang up now ok? "
"What, but wait sweetness I wanted to talk to you mor...!"
"ok! I love you Papa, Bye." and with that she quickly hung up.
"Your old man is definitely a piece of work there Maka." Soul chuckled, leaning against her doorway. Maka gave him her famous heart warming smiles, but it quickly dissipated as she looked at him again.
"What? What is it?" he asked as the blonde walked over to him. She grabbed his hand and dragged him down the hallway and into the bathroom.
"Sit." she demanded, pointing at the closed lid of the toilet. Knowing not to question his Moon, Soul did as he was told while Maka pulled out a washcloth and some bandages.
"Soul, your going to start worrying me more if you decide to walk around with blood dripping down your face after every battle from now on." she told her lover in a serious tone. She crouched doown in front of him and started wiping away the dried blood that had dripped down from his wound.
Soul's eyes softened as he watched the blonde fuss over him, but he waited patiently as a bandage was wrapped around his head before grabbing her small hand.
"All right little strawberry, your turn." he said with a blushed at the nickname, but let him see her back, having gotten more of the force from the blow earlier.
"Maka, your going to have to take the shirt off." Soul said with a slight blush.
"You cannot be serious!" the blonde protested, whipping her head around to face her partner. He just shrugged and she dropped her head in defeat, pulling the destroyed shirt over her head.
Soul quickly wiped away the small dribble of blood from his nose (he was still a teenager after all) and got to work cleaning up Maka's back. My god, could she get any cuter?! It wasn't overly fancy or anything, but it was white and had a small, light pink ribbon in the front. Soul placed the proper bandages on the cut and stood up, wrapping his arms around Maka, earning a small squeak from his Moon.
"Soul?"
"I really do love you, Maka." he said as he nuzzled the back of her neck. Maka sighed and smiled, leaning back into the albino.
"I love you too Soul.
...
Soul slowly opened his eyes, the bright sun blinding him. He groaned and buried his face into the sweet scent of rose-merry that was Maka's hair. Wait, Maka?! Soul jolted up a bit and looked down at the small girl sleeping in his arms, all bundled up in a new pair of pjs. Soul sighed and brushed a loose strand of her locks behind her ear, remembering that she had come into his room to sleep since the wall had been busted right across from her door. the cold air would have made her sick and Soul did not want that happening, especially if something could be done to prevent it, which is was.
Maka stirred a bit and slowly opened her own green orbs, and the two found themselves gazing at each other.
"Good morning my little angel" Soul said with a sly grin.
"Oh shut up Soul." Maka replied, but she was laughing all the same. The couple headed down stairs, packed bags in hand. The mission was over, so it was time to head home, but that didn't stop them from making a pit stop at the cute little town on the way.
"Just look at that church!" Kid shouted in awe, sparkles forming around him, "it is the perfect vision of symmetry!"
"Well, seeing as it is a church, why don't you go ahead and marry it if you love it so much." Soul replied jokingly.
"oh hardy har ...har." Kid trailed off as they got closer to the massive building. Soul and Maka could sense it too, something in there just felt wrong. Kid looked back at the group adn nodded once before slowly pushing open the massive door.
It was eerily dark and quiet, all happy feelings from earlier had evaporated into the air.
"Everyone, keep yourselves on your toes, I have a bad feeling about this." Kid said, his tone completely serious.
"Yeah, no kidding, I hope there aren't any creepy ghosts in here." Liz replied shakily.
"Oooh, look at the spider lady!" Patty exclaimed, and everyone whipped their heads around to face a woman in all black, and with that, the door slammed shut behind them, drenching the room in darkness.
Candles suddenly flicked to life one by one on the sides of he isles until they made their way up to the front of the room, where the massive woman in black was currently sitting, a glass of wine in her hand and a thoughtful stare piercing each and every one of them.
"Why hello there children"
"You, you're the one who's been going around and creating kishin eggs out of innocent creatures and setting them loose, aren't you?" Kid demanded, leading the group towards the spider woman.
"Oh, excuse me, I meant children and angels... plus a Fallen idiot. Tell me darling, just why are you on their side anyways. They kicked you out of their little club didn't they?" she replied, completely ignoring Kidd's question and turning her attention towards Soul, who was growing more tense by the second.
"Oh, I see now, it's because you've fallen in love with the flat chested little twerp there. Yes, I know all about each and every one of you. Death the Kidd, Liz and Patty Thompson, Maka Albarn, and Soul Evans."
"You shut the hell up witch!" Soul growled out, his temper starting to slip.
"Oh, have I struck a chord with the Fallen?" she asked in mock pain, putting emphasis on the name. "Oh I know, why don't I make it up to you?" The group was now right in front of the spider witch, all infighting stance.
"You can all just die and you won't have to worry about anything ever again!"
A web shot out of no where, narrowly missing everyone as they dodged, although Patty came away with a slight scratch on her cheek. Maka, Kid, and Soul were quickly in their Angel forms, black and white feathers zipping through the air as everyone attacked the witch known as Arachne. Webs were shooting out of no where, the sounds of pistols being fired rang through the air along with the smell of metal and fire. Patty and Liz rushed in first while Kid floated in the air behind as back up firing at the webs she shot at them. They each ran up and shot multiple rounds at the witch, jumping back to reveal the woman covered in holes and dark blood.
"You know, it is quite rude not to listen to your elders like this." she said angrily, twitching her head back up and standing. "I told you, to DIE!" she shot her hands forward and the webs followed once again, much more spastic now. The sisters could only dodge and shoot so much before they had to retreat. Soul and Maka quickly replaced them, scythes swinging at an alarming speed toward the witch, who seemed a bit more disheveled then she planned on being. She let out a piercing scream, her cool demeanor now completely lost.
"You! You will help me Fallen! You will come to realize just what they are! I am not the monster here! I just have to show you the truth by getting rid of what has been fogging you vision of reality!" She shot a web by Soul and Kidd as a distraction before shooting another one straight at Maka.
Another piercing scream was heard, but this time from Maka as the web went straight through her lower left arm.
"MAKA!" Soul shouted as he raced over to her.
"I won't miss this time you little piece of garbage!" Arachne screeched, her desperation becoming very clear to the others. She shot yet another web in Maka's direction.
"MAKA!" Maka felt a strong pair of arms around her and stared up in horror.
"Soul? SOUL!" he slumped over onto his lover,blood starting to slowly dribble out of his mouth.
He had made it just in time to get in the way of Arachne's attack.
"SOUL!"Maka laid Soul down as calm as she could, but tears started pouring down her face as she grew more hysterical.
"Maka, calm down." Soul said grabbing her hand, his other hand wiping the tears from her eyes. "Now listen to me, you kick her ass so hard that she won't even remember what and arachnid is ok? You're cool Maka, now go show her that for me." Maka stared into his beautifully crimson eyes before quickly wiping her eyes and nodding with a slight grin.
"Right."
She stood up and got herself ready to charge, wincing a bit as blood dripped down her arm, but a fire now lightning her very soul with rage mixed with passion. As she took off at a full sprint Soul shouted, "Hey Arachnid! She may be flat chested, but her heart is much bigger then yours! Not to mention that their all mine!"
"What kind of speech is that?!" she yelled back at him, an irritation mark appearing.
"A cool one!" Maka yelled as she shot straight at the witch, scythe out and glowing. One swipe and he arm came clean off, sending her into a fit.
" Why you little- ah!" Maka used full force and cut her head clean off, leaving Kidd to use his blast of light to finish off her body, seeing as it would've kept moving if he didn't destroy it.
Maka stood there for a minute, breathing heavily as she stared at the spot where the witch had just stood before dropping her weapon and rushing back to Soul's side.
"Soul! We have to get you out of here and get you all fixed up! We have to-"
"Maka, I don't think that's going to happen."
"No, Soul, you're going to be ok, you HAVE to be ok!" she was crying again.
"Maka, you arm." he stated with concern, taking her injured arm, blood still dripping from the deep wound.
"My arm is nothing Soul, I-I don't want you to die." her tears were starting to splash down onto his cheeks.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, just live and we'll be fine you weirdo!"
"I was so focused on saving you, that I thought it didn't matter if I got hit. I'd die for you Maka."
"Soul!"
"But I should have thought that through more and figured out a way to save me too, not for myself, but to keep that amazing smile of yours glowing for the world. I guess I really messed up this time, huh. So uncool."
"Soul, you are not dying, do you hear me?! Kidd already is on his way back with Dr. Stein, and he'll get you to the hospital, and you will be perfectly fine, and- Soul? Soul!" The teen had suddenly stopped breathing and a glaze was starting to form over his eyes.
"SOOOOOUL!"
"Maka! I got Stein! He's going to... help... oh god." Kidd slowed as he came closer to the body and his friend and dropped to his knees. Stein continued right past him to examine Soul's body and looked over at Maka.
"I'm sorry, he's gone. what happened that he ended up like this?" Stein said, uncharacteristically sentimental. Maka just continued to lay on his chest, her blonde hair covering her eyes.
"Arachne's webs." Kidd answered for her. Stein nodded and made to get up. "He saved Maka's life, and I had been fairly rude to him all this time."
"He what?!" Stein said, whipping his head around to look at Kidd again, who was a bit startled at the sudden action.
"He saved Maka." Kidd answered as a blinding light started to emit from the Fallen's body.
It started floating in the air as golden light seemed to pour out of every skin cell in the teen's body. They all watched in awe as his black wings shed their feathers and as white ones replaced them. Maka gasped as the hole that had been created from the web attack from earlier in his back seemed to heal from the inside out, all traces of blood suddenly disapearing from sight. He was the lowered back to the ground. All was quiet for about a minute, but then Soul took a sudden breath in as his eyes flew open and he sat straight up, looking around at everyone.
"You know, you could have saved me a trip and a whole lot of heart ache in this room if you had just told me the cirumstances of how he got injured." Stein said with slight irritation mixed with a little bit of humor as he looked over at Kidd, who, finally understanding the situation, got a lightbulb over his head.
"What the hell just happene-umph!"
"Soul! You're alive!" Maka cried as she tackled him in a hug.
"Yeah, I can see that. What I'm wondering is how?"
"You saved someone without any motives other than saving them and without thinking of the consequences, so you are now no longer a Fallen, and in becoming an angel again, it healed you." Kidd explained, a smile starting to form on his handsome features.
"huh, I guess I did." he replied as he looked down into his arms at the blonde he loved so much. "I guess in a way we saved each other." he said with a heart stopping grin.
"Yeah, I guess we did." she smiled back.
"So, do you want me to let your arm continue to bleed like that or would you like me to clean that up for you?" Stein asked Maka.
"Cleaned please." she said with a small laugh.
"MAKAAAAA! What happened to you my sweet darling?!"
"MAKA-CHOP!"
"Geez, can't ever get a break from your old man, can we."
"No..." Maka sighed. She looked up and sweat dropped at his mischevious grin that he was giving her. "What?"
"I guess that means he'd have to find out at some point, might as well make it now little strawberry." he replied and leaned down, kissing Maka without a care in the world. Maka was a bit startled at first, but she melted into him quick enough, I mean, what could she do, she went and fell for a Fallen angel after all.
