Chapter 9 Beside the Dying Fire

-SOULS POV-

I just found out that the woman I love is pregnant.. Right now I feel like the happiest man on earth. I looked down at Maka who was cuddled on up against my chest asleep. I tucked her hair behind her ear then leaned in and kissed her n the forhead.

"I love you.." I whispered.

Then the moment was ruined when my phone rang. Maka woke up yawning. She sat up and rubbeed her eyes. I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone.

"Who is it?" Maka asked.

"Stein.." I said dissapointed.

Maka got a litte excited. "W-we can tell Stein about us being preganant!"

"W-what? Us?" I laughed.

Maka glared at me. "If I'm pregnant, you're pregnant. Deal with it."

My phone stopped ringing.

"Quick call him back Soul, why are you waiting?"

I looked at the phone that said 1 missed call then looked at Maka. "I don't think he even knows that you know I'm alive..."

"Ugh. Give me the phone I'll tell him!" Maka said reaching over me for my phone. I stretched my arm away from Maka to where she could not reach it.

"H-hold on there. I'll call him and just tell him to come over."

Maka collapsed where she was in my lap with pouty face. "Hurry, I really want to tell someone about this.."

I laughed as I opened my phone to call Stein my phone began to ring again. It was Stein. I answered.

"H-"

"Soul!'

"Stein?"

"I've been trying to call you."

"Yeees I see that. What do you need?"

"Lord Death wants to see you."

I sighed. "Ok.. but first can you come over and do me a favor?"

"...ok."

"Hello?...Stein?"

I hung up the phone. And looked at Maka.

"The bastard hung up on me."

Maka covered her ears.

"Whats wrong?"

"Don't say mean words. Baby doesn't like them.."

"Baby?"

Maka uncovered her ears and smiled.

"Mhm. We don't know if baby is a boy or girl so I nicknamed him or her, baby. And I wanst about to start calling our baby an it."

I couldn't help but smile at her.

"You're so weird." I said. Maka laughed.

"Quit being mean, now what did Stein say?"

"He said ok but this has to be quick because Lord Death wants to see me."

"Ok..."

Suddenly the door to my house opened and in came Stein.

"Soul. What did you want to talk to me about-"

Stein froze when he walked in and saw Maka on the couch.

"Now I know what you're thinking but Lord Death and Death Scythe already know and I've been reaper chopped for it and in my defence its her fault for chasing me and-"

Maka glared at me.

"Soul. Thats not why I'm suprised. I already knew that Maka knew about your revival. But what shocked me was that I sense a fourth soul in this room.. coming from Maka."

Maka stood up off the couch and stood next to me.

"Well Stein that's kind of what we wanted tot talk to you about...Clearly you can see I'm pregnant."

"So I guess it's safe to assume that Soul is indeed the father?"

Mine and Makas eyes widened and we both said in unison. "Of course!"

"Alright alright.." Stein walked up to Maka and knelt before her.

"May I?" Stein asked.

Maka nodded. Stein lifted Maka's shirt to where her stomach was visible, Stein rested his hand on her stomach. Maka flinched at the touch of his cold hand. Maka held onto my hand.

After a minute Stein removed his hand and pulled her shirt back down and stood. Stein readjusted his glasses.

Makas grip on my hand tightened. As she waited to hear what Stein had to say.

"Well Maka it seems you are about 2 months in on your pregnancy and from what I could tell the baby is healthy, but its still too early to tell it's gender."

Maka smiled an jumed up and down. Maka turned to me and wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled herself up giving me a hug. I hugged her back.

Maka released me and went to Stein and hugged him as well. Stein was hesitant but he hugged her back. Maka let go of Sten and back away next to me.

"Thank you Stein." Maka said.

"You're welcome Maka. And allow me to be the first to congratulate you both."

"Thank you." Maka said. "Stein. Do you think it would be a smart idea to tell the others about me being.. prengant?"

Stein thought about it for a minute. "Well. Sooner or later they're gonna find out, I don't see any harm in it as long as they don't know about Soul.."

Maka nodded but she didn't look satisfied.

"I say we take it up with Death, ok?"

"Ok."

"Well.. Then lets go see Death."

Maka went and chaned clothes while I put on my cloak. When we were all ready we walked out of my home and headed towards the Death Room.

Me and Maka held hands as we walked up the stairs.

"Lord Death Soul and Maka are here."

"Oh good!"

When we made it up the stairs Deaht greeted us.

"Hiya Soul, Maka! Good to see ya!"

Me and Maka gave Death a small wave. I pulled off the hood of my cloak.

"Now that the pleasantries are out of the way-" Death stopped short of his senatnce.

"Maka?" I heard a voice say. My eyes widened but I did not turn around.

But Maka did. Maka turned around quickly waving her hand, purposly hitting me in the back of the head sending me forward a few steps and then onto the ground, when I hit the groun the hood of my cloak gell back onto my head.

"Hi Kid!" Maka said loudly.

I sat up and rubbed my face. "Fucking hurt.." I whispered to myself.

"Soul." I heard Stein whisper.

I looked up and saw Stein gesturing for me to follow him to the other side of the room. So I did.

"What are you doing here?" Maka asked.

"Well. I just need to speak with my father. Why are you here?"

"I uh- I needed to talk to him as well." Maka turned back around and faced Death but her eyes were looking at me.

Kid walked up and stood next to Maka. "About what?"

"Well ain't that a secret everyone wants to know?" Maka said.

Kid gave her an unsure look. Then he looked forward but his attention was directed at me. Luckily he couldn't tell who I was from how far away I was and because I was wearing the cloak.

Kid turned his attention back to Death.

"Father who is that?"

"Who is who?"

Kid gestured towards me.

"Oh! Ha-well thats a Death Scythe from.."

"From?" Kid asked.

"Canada." Stein finished.

I looked at Stein and whispered. "Canada really?" Stein smirked.

"Canada?" Kid asked.

"Yup! So what did you need to talk to me aboit Kiddo?"

Kid gave everyone in the room an unsure look. "I-I'll talk to you about it some other time."

"Oh alright then!" Death said as Kid walked out of the room.

"Wow! That was close!" Death said.

"You think?" I added in as I walked back over to Maka.

"So Death. Hurry and tell me what you needed to tall me so I can get out of here." I said.

"Oh right! Well, for the pastfew days there have been shootings happening down town there have been many lives lost. And many more injured, this is all being caused by one man."

"One man?"

"Yes, one possesed man. You're the only one who can handle this Soul. I'm counting on you. Many people have died because of him."

"How many?"

"5"

"Just 5?"

"Yes Soul, that's 5 too many people we have lost."

I nodded. "I'll handle it, don't worry."

"I'm coming too." Maka said.

"What? No. Are you crazy? You could get hurt."

"Yes, Maka I agree with Soul. It'd be very nieve of you to tag along with him."

"But me and Soul are a team."

"He is trained specifically to fight these demons you on the other hand are in no condition to fight. Have you forgotten so soon?"

"Ok.." Maka said in a defeated tone.

-SCENE JUMP-

"Why is it always dark when I have to do these things?" I asked myself as I walked down the empty streets of Death city. The only sound was the sound of the subway train trailing through the city.

I sighed as I looked around. "Theres no one even here."

I jumped at the sound of metal slamming against something. I turned around quickly to see that a trash can had allen over.

"Hmm..." I cautiously approached it.

"Ah!" I screamed in feara as a stray cat jumped out of the alley way and took off running down the road.

"Damn cat..." Ilooked down the dark alley. I felt like something was there but I couldnt see anything.. it was too dark.

My eyes widened when I saw it. 2 glowing red eyes staring back at me. But I couldnt see the man. Then I heard a clicking noise and I knew.. he had a gun. I quickly fell to the ground at the sound of a gun shot.

i stood up unharmed. I turned to focous on the man when he started to run at me.

"What the-" just before he would've slammed into me he lunged himself into the air, flying over me.

By time I turned around he was already on the other side of the street staring at me.

"So you think you're cool?" I smiled.

I started to charge at the demon but I froze when he shot at me, just bearly missing.

"Damn, I can't get near him.."

The demon man smiled at me then spoke in a distorted demonic voice. "Are you afriad.. Soul Evans?"

My eyes widened. "Shut up you bastard."

The man frouned. "One should not speak to others in such a rude tone."

The man began to dissolve into black sand.

"What the hell?"

Once he was all sand, he flew past me knocking me onto the ground. I looked up seeing him fly to the top of the building that was behind me.

"Shit." I stood up quickly and began climbing the building.

Once I got to the top the man was on the other side. Smiling at me.

"What are you?"

"Thats for me to know-" The man pointed the gun at me. "And for you to find out at a later date."

"What?" I said to myself.

I heard the gun click. I prepared myself to jump off the four story building if I had to.

"Soul?"

My eyes widened at the sound of a femenine voice. I turned my head to the edge of the building where stood Maka.

"M-Maka how the hell did you get up here?!"

"The stairs."

"I told you not to follow me! You could get hurt! Are you fucking stupid?!"

"SOUL!"

"I'M SERIOUS!"

"...Enough talking. Now die." The man said as he pointed the gun at Maka.

Maka gasped as she stared at the man horrified. Out of instinct, I ran to grab Maka and pull her out of the way, but even if I did that. She still would'e gotten shot, and if she stood there she'd get shot in the stomach. So I did the next best thing. I jumped in front of her.

As I was in front of Maka I heard the gun fire. Though I knew I was about to be shot, I was not prepared for the amount of pain I was going to endure.

"SOOUUL!" Maka screamed at the top of her lungs.

My eyes widened, I felt a sharp pain, I looked down to see I had been shot on my right pelvic, and the bullet had gone right through me, though it did not hit Maka.

I wanted to tell Maka to run but I began choking on my words. Blood became pouring out of the wound. I collapsed to the gound unable to stand due to the immense pain I was in.

Though I wouldn't die from being shot there, it could cause damadge.. or I could possibly bleed out so It was mor like a race against time for me.

Maka fell to her knees and put her hands over my wound. Tears streaming down her face.

"S-Soul! Keep breathing, Stay with me please. D-don't close your eyes. I'm not going to lose you again!"

"Y-...you wont...heh" I was able to say in between breaths.

"M-Maka..." I took a deep breath my eye lids began to feel heavy. The started to close. Then I heard Maka scream. My eyes shot back open and she ws gone but I could still hear her.

"Where?..."

I propped myself up on the ledge of the building with one hand while the other hand was putting pressure on my wound. I looked up to see the man was no longer a man but he was in the from of one of the demons. It was holding Maka in the sky laughing.

"P-put her... down." I said as angerily as I could.

"Okay." The demon said. He let go of Maka, and laughed.

Maka was sreaming as she fell. My eyes widened, I held one hand over the ledge waiting to somehow catch Maka as she passed by. And I did, bearly. I cought her by her left hand, as soon as our fingers touched, her hand was in mine, locked together. Though I was holding onto her she still fell until she was hanging by her hand. When she fell, the weight of her body caused my and to be tugged on which was painful but not as painful as the gunshot or what Maka felt, because of the sudden pull on her and my arm, something, I don't know what, I would have to say her shoulder, had been dislocated I heard it snap.

I was turned on to my back, not able to face Maka but I was holding onto her for dear life with one hand while the other hand was covering my wound.

Maka was breathing heavily. "S-Soul. My shoulder hurts! I can't hold on!" She screamed. "I'ts going numb. Soul!" She yelled.

I could feel Makas hand go limp in my grasp, she began to slip.

"M-Maka.. don't.. don't let go." I said.

"I-I wont! Iwont let go!" I heard Maka cry.

And thats when it happened. I no longer felt Makas small hand in mine. All I could feel was the pain shooting throughout my body from the gun shot and all I could hear was Maka screaming as she fell down the 4 story building...

But Maka's screaming suddenly stopped. Did she hit thr ground so soon? What happened?

My vision began to fade. But I heard someone's voice.. a third person and then I heard Maka's shaky fragile voice.. my heart beat slowed down, knowing Maka was ok. I don't know how, but she was alive. And then I blacked out.

My eyes began to slowly open, my whole body was sore, I didn't want to move. I blinked a few times to clear my vision. I was in a white room, with a tv on the wall, I was in a bed, machines were hooked up to me, all I could hear the tv but the beeping sounds of the machines were very distinct..

It was hard to breath without feeling any pain.

'Where am I? What hapened?' I thought to myself.

Oh thats right.. I was shot.. protecting..Maka. My eyes widened and I quickly sat up in bed. I winced at the pain.

"M-Maka.. whre is she?"

I looked around the room for a button to press to request a nurse. I found it and pressed it multiple times until a nurse came in the room.

"Hey can you tell me-" I stopped talking when I saw who was in the room.

"I didn't expect to see you up so soon." It was Stein.

"Stein.."

Stein put his hand on my chest and lightly pushed be back to lay down. Though it hurt to move I did.

"S-Stein. Is Maka ok? Where is she?"

"Maka is fine, she just broke her wrist and her shoulder was dislocated. She's down the hallway."

"And the baby?"

"The baby was unharmed.. thanks to you."

Stein pulled the sheet off me and pulled my shirt up and showed me my bullet wound.

"If you wouldn't have jumped in front of Maka, she would've been shot in the stomach which probably would've killed her and the baby."

I looked up at Stein. "Yeah but she was stupid for following me."

Stein nodded. "Indeed that was not smart of her, but there was just something telling Maka to help the one she loved. You can't blame her."

"I know... S-Stein!"

"Hm?"

"W-who saved Maka?! She was falling off that building but-"

"Oh I had almost forgotten. Would you like me to bring Maka's rescuer in here?"

"Oh-uhm sure." I answered.

"I'll return in a moment."

I nodded as Stein left the room, and true to his word, he was back in just one moment. I stared at the door as Stein walked in.

"He wanted to know who saved Maka." Stein was saying as he moved to the side allowing Kid to enter the room.

My eyes widened. "K-Kid?"

"Soul.. " Kid rushed over to me and knelt beside my bed.

"You're alive.." Kid said.

"H-how did you?"

"I followed Maka.." Kid said in a shaky voice.

"Father told me everything... "

"Are you about to cry?" I asked.

"No!" Kid said in defense as a tear streamed down his face. "Yes. It's just everyone thought you were dead but you've been back for almost a year and you havent told anyone except Maka! Thats a little unfair." Kid complained.

"I didn't tell Maka, she followed me and I- I got hit by a car and she saw me.. I wanted tot ell you guys but Death said I couldn't.."

"I understand.." Kid said as he whiped away a few of his tears.

Suddenly Kid pulled in and hugged me.

"Uh-..."

"It's good to see you my friend.." Kid said as he let go of me.

"Ow..." I mumbled.

"Sorry.." Kid said.

"Kid.. I can't thank you enough for saving not only my life but Maka's.."

Kid nodded. "You don't have to thank me... But uhm Soul."

Kid turned around and looked at Stein. Stein nodded at Kid and left the room.

"Uh. Yes?" I said a little confused.

"When father told me everything.. he literally told me.."

"Everything.." I finished.

Kid nodded. "He told me about your past and what your family is-"

"I know. I know what they are doing and I know what needs to happen. And I'l handle it as soon as I get out of the hospital.. Ok?" I said in a shaky voice.

"Ok Soul.. you can't let Maka know."

"I know. But while I'm gone can you watch her? Make sure she wont follow me.. You know she'll try everything."

"I know. And I will."

Kid stood up about to leave. I grabebd Kids wrist. "And Kid theres something you should know about Maka."

"Yes?"

"She's preganant."

I felt Kid flinch. "Wow, Really? Who-"

"I am.. I am the father.." I answered hesitantly.

Kid's eyes widened. "Well. Congratulations Soul, thats wonderful news!" Kid said happily.

I let go of Kids wrist. " I must go congratulate her at once!" Kid smiled.

"Thanks but don't tell anyone about her. Let her do that on her own please."

"You have my word as a reaper." Kid bowed slightly.

"Uh? Ok."

Kid left the room. I sighed and stared at the cealing.

"Kid knows.. Stein knows... Death knows... Spirit might know.. but Maka doesn't.. I have to tell her when I see her."

I closed my eyes.

"She's gonna hate me after she finds out..."


-MAKAS POV-

I was sitting up in bed reading my book, enjoying the silence when Kid walked in. I looked up and smiled at him.

"Hi Kid."

"Congratulations Maka."

"Huh?"

Kid cleared his throat. "Soul.. told me that you were.."

"Oh! Yes I am. Thanks! He's awake?"

"Yes he is.. he's weak and tired but it seems like he'll be fine with a little bit of sleep and healing. "

"Thats a releif..." i closed my book and set it on the table.

"You ok Kid?"

"Hm? Oh yes I'm fine.."

"You look like somethings bothering you."

Kid was silent.

"Can you take me to see Soul?"

"Are you sure you can walk?"

"My shoulder is dislocated.. I can walk."

"Ok.."

Kid helped me up and escorted me to Soul's room.

"I'll leave you two to talk."

"Thank you."

I walked in to Souls room as Kid closed the door behind me. I sat in the chair next to Souls' bed. He was sleeping peacefully.

Using my fingers I brushed his hair back out of his face, his eyes shot open and he sat up quickly.

I pulled my hand away.

"S-Soul?"

Soul turned to me wide eyed. "Maka!" He hugged me tightly.

"Soul.. lay down, you'll open your... your wound."

Soul layed back down.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Soul looked off to the side not answering me.

"Its ok.. Soul. I'm sorry for getting you shot, if I wouldn't have followed you then. Then you wouldn't have been shot." Tears formed in my eyes.

"Its ok Maka, you were just trying to help...Thank you."

I didnt reply because it was my fault.. just like the last time he got hurt.

"And have you forgotten?"

I looked at him as he smiled at me. "Its a weapons job to protect their meister.."

I did not reply. But I nodded.

"Soul."

"Yes?"

"I know theres soemthing you're not telling me, theres something eveyone knows except me... so could you tell me? Please?"

Souls eyes widened a little.

"...Soul.." Tears fell from my eyes.

"Shit..." Soul said to himself. "But don't hate me."

I slightly nodded. 'Why would I hate him?' I thought.

"Ok, this is a little complicated so I'm just gonna make this short... You know the demons?"

"..yes?"

Soul breathing was shaky. "You see their eyes?"

"Yes?"

"What color are their eyes?"

"Red?"

"...W-what color are my eyes?"

"...Red." My heart began to pound. "Soul are you a?"

"Are you a demon?!" I said as I stood up from my chair.

"Maka, yes please wait, sit down, let me finish I-"

"Soul is not just any demon. But he is the child of the demon god who goes by the name of Louis Charles Evans." Stein said as he walked in a closed the door behind him.

My eyes widened. "Soul you're a god?!"

"N-no, kind of but not really." Soul was stuttering, he was choking up on his words.

"Soul's father is indeed a god and just as powerful as Lord Death, but long ago just before Soul was born, his father was banished from our world back to the world he came from due to his misuse of powers. Everything was taken from him, his family, home, and all but one power, which is the power to control his demon servants and make them do his deeds."

"S-Soul that makes you a god right?" I asked a little afraid of him.

"I-" Stein interrupted Soul.

"Soul's mother was a human so Soul is half demon, god, and human."

"So your brothers ae just the same?"

"Sort of... I am the only one out of the 3 who was born possesing the same powers my dad has. Though I don't use them, I don't even know how to." Soul sat up in his bed. "Thats why I'm the only one who can run the other 'family business' I'm the only one who can do all the things my dad could do. But as far as I can tell I'm ordianry.. I havent had any signs of the powers my dad has."

I sat back down next to Soul. He held my hand in his. I was frightened by this sudden discovery of Soul but.. I know he'd never try to hurt me..

"You do have these powers but you cant use them yet because they have yet to be awakened." Stein said.

"How do I-"

"You awaken them by eating a soul. A grigori soul to be exact.. thats why all these demons are after you and Maka. They want her soul and they want you to eat it."

My eyes widend and Soul's grip on my hand tightened.

"Maka.. I don't want that to happen and I know my father wont stop. Thats why I'm going to visit my mother.. I want you to stay here, Kid will be with you."

"What?! No! I want to come with you."

"If you come with me then, you will fall right into my dads trap."

"Souls right Maka, this time you absolutely cannot follow Soul.." Stein said.

"But I-"

"No Maka, I don't care how pissed you get at me.. yuo can't come. If you follow me to my home. You will die. Theres no doubt about that." Soul said with no hesitation.

I released my breath I sad been holding in from a while. I looked down, not making any eye contact with them.. "Ok." I said.

"I'm sorry Maka.. but I can't let you get hurt." Soul said as he gestured to the cast around my wrist or the wrap supporting my hand.

I nodded. "When will you leave?"

"As soon as I get out of this hospital."

"Ok." I said again as I got up and went to my own room.

A few days later I was released, but it took a full month for Soul to be released. By the time Soul was out of the hospital I was already showing. I wore ruffled shirts so no one would ask questions, I didn't want to just say I was pregnant without telling them who the father was.. it would make me look bad. Only my Papa, Lord Death, Kid and Stein knew.

I was laying on the couch rubbung my stomach, thinking about the furture. I was about to doze off when the front door opened. I sat up quickly. It was Soul.

"Soul!" I jumped off the couch and ran up to him and hugged him.

"I missed you." Soul said.

"Missed you too." I said hugging him tightly.

Soul released me then got on his knees and looked at my baby bump. Soul lightly rested his forhead on my stomach and closed his eyes. I rested my hand on Souls head. Soul sat there like that for a minute before standing.

"What was that all about?"

"I was just enjoying the moment.." Soul replied smiling.

I smiled back. Soul took a deep breath and walked by me.

"I know I just got back but I gotta pack."

"What? You're leaving so soon?"

"The longer I wait the more danger you and the baby will be in!" He argued.

I was silent. "So you're just going to leave me here alone? What if those things come back for me? Then what?" I tried to come up with an excuse.

"Kid, Stein and Death with be watching over you. You'll be staying with Kid while I'm gone so I'll pack for you."

I didn't argue back.


-SOULS POV-

"Ok, I'll drop her off around 5. Yeah, my flight leaves at 7. Ok, bye."

I hung up my phone and sighed. I continued packing then Maka walked in and watched me pack.

"Don't do this."

"Really, this again?"

"Yes, really! You can't go. Who knows what'll happen."

"Maka, it's my family, they want me to succeed, not to hurt me. No offense but the only one they wanna hurt is you."

Maka frowned at me.

"It's true and you know it." I walked up to Maka and hugged her.

"Just stay with Kid, Lord Death Liz and Patty. By time I get home things will be better. All this will be over and we can tell everyone about all this crazy shit."

"Don't curse. Baby doesn't like bad words."

I laughed. "Sorry baby." I said and Maka laughed.

"Oh was that laughter?"

I lifted Makas head and she smiled. "No."

"Are you smiling?" I smiled at her.

Maka frowned. "No. I'm mad at you."

"No you're not." I leaned in and kissed Maka gently on the lips.

"I think thats what I'm gonna miss the most."

"Really? My kisses thats it?" I laughed.

Maka smiled, her eyes were glossy, as if she were ready to cry. "Soul.. I love you.."

"i love you too."

Me and Maka finished packing and just like I promsied Kid, I dropped Maka off at his mansion.

"Thank you Kid.. please, watch over her.. don't let anything happen to her and don't let her out of your sights."

"I promise you I'll keep Maka safe. And Soul, return safely..."

I nodded as I got in Maka's car. I was watching as Maka entered the mansion with her bags, she was greeted by Liz who seemed estatic.

"Liz and Patty don't know about me right?"

"They don't have a clue, they think that she's being dropped off by her father so she can spend a week with us." Kid replied.

"Good.." I started the engine. Just as I was about to leave Kid stopped me.

"Soul."

I looked up at Kid who seemed very serious all of a sudden.

"Don't die."

"I wont." I said without hesitation.

And with that last comment, I pulled out of Kids drive way and headed to the airport. I was walking through the airport, passing by random people, attempting not to bump into someone. My suitcase was rolling behind me as I looked for where my flight would be boarding.

"Found it.. that took forever and a half.." I said to myself as I got in line.

3 minutes had passed and I was next in line.

The woman taking the tickets smiled at me. "May I see your ID and boarding pass please?"

I handed them to her. "Here you go."

The woman examined them closely. "Alright , heres your seat number, please enjoy your flight." The woman handed me my ID and my seat number.

"Thank you." I said, I bagn to enter the little hallway where I would board my plane when I heard my name get called.

"SOUL?!"

I froze. "What the fuck?" I said to myself. I turned around and much to my horror I saw a freaked out Maka towards the end of the line looking for me.

"MAKA?!" Maka turned her attention to me and smiled. "Soul!"

I got the light attendants attention. "Ma'm would it be alright if I talked to that woman right there before I board the plane?"

"Well.. sir I don't-"

"She's my girlfriend, she's pregnant, she wantes to say some things before I leave on this business trip." I said.

"Oh.. well I guess so... as long as you stay right there."

"Thank you." I passed through the line and walked up to Maka.

" the hell? I told you to stay with Kid!"

"Soul, I don't know why but I just can't be away from you, I have to stay with you, I know, its a risk coming with you but I-I-I don't"

"Whao, no you're not comeing with me, you can't thats out of the question, go back to Kids place now!"

"No!"

"W-wait how did you even get ut of Kid's mansion without him noticing?!"

"Well. I kind of.. well maybe someone tilted all his picture frames to the right.."

"I should have known.. he;s probaby on the floor crying right now totally oblivious to the real situation.."

Maka stared at me waiting to see what I'll say next.

"Well?" She said.

I ran my fingers through my hair. "God damn it."

"Swear.." Maka mumbled.

"Ok fuck it! I'm done arguing. You can come."

Maka screamed happily, attracting everyones attention, Maka jumped up and down then hugged me.

"Let me guess... you already bought a ticket?"

Maka rrleased me and dug in her purse and pulled out a ticket.

I rolled my eyes at her. "You're coming but you're staying in a hotel the whole time."

"Ok!" Maka said.

I grabbed Maka's wrist and pulled her up to the front of the line, the crowd was upset with my actions but I didn't care. I just wanted on the plane so I could sleep. I'm just going to have to protect her no matter what. I can't let her get hurt...

"She's getting on the plane too." I took Maka's ID and ticket and handed it to the flight attendant.

"O-ok.." The woman examined he ID then started to hand it back to me. "Here you go, your seat number will be-" before the lady wwas finished speaking I grabbed Maka's ID and began boarding th plane.

"Soul why are you in such a rush?"

"I'm not talking to you, I'm mad at you." I said, attempting to be mad but I could tell Maka was smiling at me.

"Here. You're sitting next to me on first class."

"But Soul, I didn't get a first class seat."

"I don't care. Sit down."

Maka took my seat and I sat in the seat next to her. A man came up and looked at me in his seat.

"Sir you're sitting in my seat."

"Do you think I care? Why don't you sit somewhere else." I said.

The man glared at me. "If you don't move I'll get security."

I sighed and stood up. "I guess I wasnt clear enough when I told you the first time so I'll say it again. Find. Another. Seat. I'm not moving."

The man backed away from me and found an empty seat.

"Wow Soul you can be mean and scary when you want to be."

"I can't let you sit alone, I don't trust anyone on the plane."

"Why don't you order something to eat, watch a move or sleep a while. Its gonna be about 5 hours until we land."

"Ok.. I dont have much mo-"

"Its ok, Maka I'll cover everything. Its no problem." I said situating myself in my seat to go to seep.

"Thank you Soul but I think I'll just get some sleep too."

Maka cuddled next to me, holding onto my arm, she fell asleep with her head on my shoulder.

I sighed. "What the hell.. am I going to do?"


Sorry if the plot wasnt that well thought out, I just thought it'd be interesting for Soul's dad to be some powerful scary guy, idk Soul has a messed up family lol but yeah next chapter you get to meet his family and that'll be fun!
