"Soul!" Maka screamed as she saw his eyes close, the door slammed open, Black Star looking ready to fight.
"What the hell?" he muttered looking at the demon. The demon hissed, its grip never loosening.
"Black Star it's killing him, make it stop!" Maka begged, Black Star glared.
"You dare do this to the princess that is friends with the great Black Star, I'll show you a thing or two!""Bring it!" yelled the demon, dropping Soul onto the ground and lunging at Black Star. "Tsubaki go get Kid!" Black Star yelled, Tsubaki ran off. Wes stared with huge eyes."It, it's real? He wasn't lying?""Soul, Soul." Maka cried over and over again once she reached him, his crimson eyes were closed, but she thought she could feel a pulse, unless that was her own beating heart. "Please wake up, please, I.. I want to be with you." she said, pressing her head into his chest. Maka felt torn apart, depressed, and her heart ached with a pain she didn't think was possible, but for those few minutes her own heart had fluttered with Soul, the warmth when they'd touched hands, and the spark from their kiss. had she finally found it? Was that what she'd come here looking for?
"Soul, I love you." she said, kissing him once more. The demon froze, it's orange eyes blazing.
"You love him?" it asked, a laugh in its voice. "How could you possibly love that, it's a horrible mess of emotions, it."
"MAKA CHOP!" Maka screamed, hurling a book she had no idea where she'd gotten it at the demon. Its low hiss of pain told her she'd hit her target.
"You.. you can not say that about him!" Maka said, her eyes blazing. "Sure he has his quirks, but I mean we all do, nobody's perfect. But to me." she smiled, "To me he's everything I could've wanted, he's the person I love."
"You mean that?" Her heart skipped a beat and she turned to see Soul sitting up, the confusion clear in his crimson eyes. "You really love me?""I do Soul, I really do." she said holding him close to her. Soul closed his eyes,"Enough!" the demon screamed, sending Black Star into a nearby wall.
"Black Star!" Maka cried. The demon glared.
"I have not come this far to be taken down by the likes of you! Soul is mine!" A low growl caught in its throat. Maka realized something, it was jealous. Was this demon a girl?
"But you're holding him against his will, how could he be yours?" Maka asked, the demon froze. "If he really loved you he would pick you.""Shut... Shut up!" the demon roared, her colors changing rapidly, it was hurting Maka's eyes. Maka whimpered and Soul held her close, "I love you too Maka."
The demon stopped, just stopped. "How, but I promised." she said, her blurbs of words barely making sense to the two.
"What the hell?" The three turned to see Liz, Kid, and Patty in the doorway. The demon only stared.
"Black Star!" Tsubaki screamed, running to his side.
"It's real?" Soul's mother asked, when had those two gotten there?"Soul, you have me now, you'll always have me." Maka promised, "And I'll make you happy, I promise you you'll never be alone.""Someone told that to me once." said Soul.
Maka looked at him, and he smiled, "But I believe you."
The demon looked broken, the fire that snapped in its eyes however still blazed. "I may go now." she growled, "But you're coming with me!" her claws reached out, digging into Maka's stomach. Maka screamed with pain.
"Princess!" screamed Tsubaki. "Damnit." Black Star muttered, trying to get up.
"That's enough!" Kid yelled, pulling out his lance and slamming it into the demon. Her eyes went wide, and suddenly a dark electricity shot down it shocking Kid and sending him backwards.
"Kid!" Liz and Patty screamed, grabbing him before he could slam into the wall. The demon kept its grip on Maka, suddenly letting go and letting the princess drop to the floor.
"Maka!" Soul yelled, tears running down his face, his confident voice returned. He reached her body, blood poured out of the claw marks.
"Maka." he whispered, holding her close, "I'll save you, like you saved me." suddenly they both began to glow, and Soul closed his eyes, trying to find her.
