This mission sucked.. I mean they've had some crappy missions before but this one really sucked. It had been three weeks they've been stuck on some little island right near that tourist trap called Hawaii.

There is a kishin egg running around grabbing the swimmers and divers off the coast of Hawaii and dragging them over here. The freaking locals though have gotten it into their heads that it's some kind of volcano god and won't help them catch it. They're actually protecting the damn thing. Soul had enough.

He grabbed maka out of the heated conversation she was having with some cranky old lady and dragged her towards the docks. "Soul, What are you doing?" "We need a break." He pushed her towards the little boat they've been renting and jumped in. Maka hesitated. She wanted nothing more than to leave for awhile but if they didn't find this kishin egg it could strike again. "Come on maka you can't get anything done when you're this frustrated. We'll get some decent food and come back with a clear head."

Maka finally nodded and hopped down next to him. The boat ride and trek through the hotel chain took about forty five minutes and both were completely starving when they finally found some small local burger joint.

Soul couldhave cried he was so happy to eat something other than fish. They found a seat at a small booth close to the counter and waited to be served. They spent the next hour chatting about what they were going to do when they get home and joking around. They finished up their meals and payed.

Slipping back out into the humid night air, full and happy. Soul continued to bring up some prank blackstar pulled on her before they left, leaving maka to half heartedly threaten him. They were only two miles from the docks, a thin stretch of rocky cliffs instead of beach pulled up on their right. The lack of beach accounted for the absence of people along this road but light from nearby hotels kept the dark at bay.

Though they aren't completely alone a few yards ahead there was a woman waving down the cliff slide. Soul turned to maka confused, he'd just called her tiny tits and she hasn't reacted. Maka was frozen mid step eyes focused on the women ahead of them.

Soul tensed ready to transform for what ever threat his meister had spotted. But he was entirely unprepared for her next move. She rocked back onto her heal then launched into a run towards the woman. She bolted to the stranger's side and jumped her.

"Mama!" Maka yelled latching onto the woman. The woman,kami albarn, didn't so much as flinch when she was tackled. Instead her arms latched around maka's shoulders and held her at arm's length.

Kami's face was a mix of emotion, surprise, bewilderment, regret. Soul jogged up to the two at this point noticing kami's expression. "oh mama I've missed you so much." Maka gushed tearing up a bit. Soul was shocked.

This woman here was kami albarn? She was a legend. Maka moved to hug her mother again but was restrained. "Maka, what are you doing here?" Kami's voice was hushed and panicky. Maka however didn't seem to notice, she was much to preoccupied staring adoringly at her mother. "I'm on a mission! I'm a two star. Oh mama I've worked so hard-"

"you have to leave." Kami interrupted. "But mama, I haven't seen you in years. Couldn't we just-" "no maka" she cut her off again. "You have to go" she pushed maka away from her causing a growl to slip from soul. She was being rough with his meister.

Kami's eyes finally landed on soul only now realizing that he was there. "A boy, you couldn't even take my parting advice could you?" Kami was oddly bitter sounding. Maka's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Mama?"

"I told you to stay away from boys maka." Maka tensed. "Yes mama but soul is-"

"they're all the same maka, only good for money." Maka was upset now. This didn't sound like her mother. "Mama I don't understand." Her mother rolled her eyes sharply. "You can't trust men, they don't make good partners."

maka was irritated now. "But mama soul is a great partner."

"Enough maka i dont have time to argue with you." kami motioned for her to leave. "But mama…"Maka stretched her hand out towards her mother, but kami took a step back. "I told you i didn't want any part of that man near me." Kami snapped. "I'm not your mama anymore."

A shocked tear slipped down maka's cheeks. Soul was about to pull his Meister away when a nearby rustle caught their attention. A tall man in designer swim shorts and an expensive watch pulled himself up over the cliff edge, a sulf scarf in his fist. He must have been who kami was waving at before.

" honey? Who's this" the man asked noticing maka's tear stained face. "I'm not sure kami said in a sickly sweet tone. But I'm hot can we go back to the hotel now." She rushed the man in the opposite direction abandoning any rights she had left as a mother with the broken little girl sobbing on a cliff side.

i really don't like this chapter but I feel restless when I don't update so here you go. I think at least the consept behind the chapter was important but the actual writing sucked. I'll have something better for y'all next time.-gray
