Chapter 10 Okay, I had trouble writing this chapter, I was just out of inspiration... and I just wasn't in the mood... so basically I was lazy... I am sooooo sorry!

Anyways...

I don't own Soul Eater.

Chapter 10: The reason

" Tell the principal what?" the man dressed as a Grim Reaper demanded in a goofy way, stepping closer to Hiro

"T-this guy p-punched me!" Hiro (almost) whined with fake tears

" My, my!" the man said " What happened, Maka? Why do you have such a terrified look?"

" I- uh h-him! Bully! Primary school!" Maka talked gibberish

" Hum... I see... Your papa has talked about it already. He was so pissed..."

" T-then h-he won't be punished?" Hiro demanded, still faking crying, which really pissed me off

" Hum... I suppose you deserved it." he said " Though, mister Eater need to come on detention for about a half an hour... he still did punch someone even if aforementioned punch was a well deserved one."

At this I couldn't help but anime sweat drop... This man, is weird. He first says I won't be punished, then after I have detention! Does that make sense to anyone but him?

" I... guess that's fair..." I answered

" Good. Now, if you please. Go back to class. Oh, also; Mister Hiro, please come to detention too, after school for you. Bullying is something I don't tolerate in my school... and besides... Spirit might want to talk to you."

I helped Maka to get up and she clung onto me like I was a lifeline. She was shaking like a leaf... Just what did Hiro do to her in the past?

" Maka, I'll be back soon, don't worry! ... As to you" I turned to the blonde guy " if you dare to bully her in any way, next time I'll hit harder." 'and make sure that your jaw won't be intact this time' I added in my head

He just lazily rolled his eyes, like I haven't just punched him in the face, though he had a huge blue forming under his left eye. And so, I left for detention. Don't worry Soul! It's only a half an hour! Nothing much can happen in that time... or can it?

And so I left, not really sure as to leave Maka alone with that guy.

That was the worst decision ever to make Soul go on detention leaving me with my bully. Even if he threatened him, Hiro would do anything to make my life a misery. He didn't care if he broke his jaw in the process... he has always been like this...

And I never understood why he was so passionate to make my life hell.

" Uh, come on you cow." he said " We're gonna be late."

I just walked silently, head turned towards the floor. I wanted to disappear, right here, right now. I had no intention to look at him. He just continued to call me names, like he was still a kid. I was intact to those, they were only words and besides... I imagined myself punching him like Soul did. I almost felt my fist lift up and smash in his face... oh! how it would feel refreshing!

" Look at me idiot!" he ordered, but I didn't comply; he didn't have the right to order me around " I said... LOOK AT ME DAMMIT!" and he grabbed my shoulders and banged me to the wall

My back slammed hard against it and his hands were gripping my shoulders so hard, his fingers were digging in my skin. I hissed, he has never done a thing like this...

" What do you want?" I asked hitting my most calm voice, trying to not stutter and sound confident

" What do I want?! What do you want?" I don't understand what he wants " What's with you?"

Okay... I officially don't understand a thing. He was holding me firmly, but not as hard as he used to punch me, but he's language is more gentle... What happened?

" What are you talking about? I don't understand a thing."

He got really angry. His eyes looked ready to kill someone.

" How come you don't understand?! HOW COME?!" he yelled " I repeat: How come?! How can you not understand it?!"

He leaned closer and I cringed away, but my head hit the wall. There was no way to escape his grip.

" Maka Albarn..." he said almost whispering

I'm sure if it would have been Soul, his voice would have been gentle and careful, but not Hiro. His whisper came out as a threatening hiss.

" ...Is the girl who ruined me." he said

Huh?! Wasn't it the opposite way around?!

" She didn't do anything. Not a thing. She was just a presence in my head." things are getting crazy, but he continued " She was constantly here." he pointed to his head " She wouldn't leave me alone, so I needed yo get rid of Maka Albarn."

I gulped, I somehow didn't like where this is going.

" But Maka Albarn was so small and vulnerable... that Hiro wanted to protect her too."

Since when did he call himself by his name? Also... why would he want to protect me?!

" Yet, Maka Albarn didn't like Hiro."

Things clicked in my head. I remembered a piece of memory from way back; when we were still in kindergarten.

Hiro came up to me with a little flower and told me ' Hiro likes Maka' but I just told him ' Maka doesn't like Hiro. She prefers Black Star.' the conversation wasn't a major one. Maybe that's why I didn't remember it, but if he liked me... why did he start to bully me the next week?

" Hiro was really mad at her and he wanted to show her that. He began to pull her pigtails and to tell her ugly things." Hiro said " He wanted her to know just how much he hates her."

" But then, when Hiro came here and saw Maka with that albino jerk, he wanted revenge. He felt immense hate towards the albino. Yet, Maka liked him." his grip tightened " That's why Hiro will make sure Maka will never see him again, that's why..." he leaned even closer and I felt his breath

He wasn't filthy, but I wanted to get away. I began wiggling and he just held me harder.

" Maka won't get away this time."

" Ugh! Let me go!" I began struggling even harder

" Hiro likes Maka..." and he leaned closer to my lips and as he was going to kiss me... I was saved

I was saved by a shoe sailing through the air, hitting Hiro square in the face and knocking him out cold. He fell backwards and I let out a relieved sight.

" Thank you!" I said, twirling around to see my savior

" No problemo fella'."

And I noticed the fiery red haired girl standing a few feet away, with her arm in mid-air, still in the motion of throwing something.

" S-Shooting*Star!" I exclaimed and ran to the girl

We slammed in a hug. She was Black Star's cousin, she was someone I didn't see for a long time.

" How come you're here? The last time I heard from you, you were on a trip in the Himalaya's!"

" Eh... Well, I'm a teacher here now!" she said proudly

She was a tall busty woman with red, red hair and intense red lipstick. Her clothes were black, ninja style, but she had a red miniskirt on with black combat boots. She had a little star tattoo under her right eye. Her waist-long hair was in a high ponytail. She was the exact opposite of a teacher, but Stein didn't exactly look like one either...

" So you decided to stay here?"

" What else?" I hugged her again " With my new teacher powers... I'LL MAKE THAT BASTARD ATTENDS DETENTION EVERYDAY!" she yelled and began laughing obnoxiously... like Black Star would

She picked Hiro up by the legs and dragged him away. She waved to me from a distance and grinning, went away with the guy.

I sweat dropped... with Shooting*Star here, there will be two obnoxious and loud people in the school...

Oh, well... That's what happens when you're related to the Star family.

Okay, I had trouble writing, so it might not be as good as I was originally planning it...
