Light Note: I don't actually have any idea where this came from... I just got this idea of Blackstar pulling Maka into some mud and Soul popping up to go, "Guy WTF?" And so... Here this is. Chapter 10 of Family!

So... Enjoy!

…...

Maka furrowed her brow, "Blackstar, I'm not doing that."

The ninja meister pouted, "Oh, come on! It's not as bad as it looks."

"No, I think it's just as bad as it looks," she retorted.

He held out a hand to her anyway, "I'm telling you it's not! Once you get past the awkward squishy feeling, it's not bad at all!"

She deadpanned at him, "I don't want to get past the awkward squishy feeling! I don't want to experience the awkward squishy feeling at all!" Maka smacked his hand away, "For the last time, I am notplaying in the mud with you!"

Blackstar was practically waist deep in a pit of wet dirt, hand print marks made of mud streaking his face and only broken up by his beaming smile. They'd gotten separated from Soul and Tsubaki while they were running through the forest and the ninja had managed to fall into the pit and get himself stuck.

He'd spent the rest of the time until this point trying and failing to get her into the mud with him. Sure, they'd tried pulling him out, but no matter how hard they tugged his feet wouldn't budge from their suction cupped position in the boggy ground.

"I didn't say play, I'm just saying to enjoy the moment with me," Blackstar drawled with a roll of his eyes, then flashed a smile, "From the mud."

Maka crossed her arms, "Only an idiot would willingly get into a sticky mud hole, and I am not an idiot."

"They say mud baths are really good for your skin," Blackstar tried, but Maka shot him a glare, "Worth a shot."

Sighing, Maka twisted the end of one of her pigtails as she gave the situation some thought, "This is quite the pickle. You're stuck and I can't really leave you to defend yourself while I go look for Soul and Tsubaki. Communication isn't working so there's no way to know where they are without using a tactic that gives away our own position... Which leaves trying to get you out, which hasn't been successful."

"Let's try the branch idea again," Blackstar suggested, wiggling his hips slightly, "I think I felt myself move a little that time."

The blond nodded and looked around for an appropriate branch and broke it off. Handing one end to the ninja meister, and gripping the other end in a tight hold under her armpit, Maka braced her legs and steeled her gaze, "On the count of three; One, two, thr-EEEK!"

On three, Blackstar yanked on the branch. Since Maka had locked her knees, she flew forward with a fast momentum.

Face first into the mud.

"Oops! Maka, you got a little something on your face there..." Blackstar mentioned casually as she slowly picked herself up to glare through the mud mask she was now adorning. He tried to smother his laughter, but a snicker escaped and soon Maka's hands were beating whatever surface of him they could hit.

"Blackstar you insensitive, unnerving, rude little git! I can't believe you actually did that! Now you're still stuck and I'm covered in mud too! What was the point of that anyway? This is ridiculous and-"

A voice behind them brought Maka's tiriad to a slow, awkward pause as she turned around to see a confused Soul and concerned Tsubaki standing behind them, "Maka..." he said as he took a step forward to pick her up under her armpits and heft her up, "Do I want to know?"

"No," Maka snapped and stomped over to Tsubaki.

Blackstar, however, looked up at his friend with a wide smile and declared, "Maka and I made some mud pies!"

Oh the stupid things siblings make you do...

…...

Light Note: Like I said, not really sure where this came from, but it's cute I think. Haha! I could just see Maka's pissed off face. Priceless. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and again! If you have a scene or snippet you'd like to see me write, then shoot me a PM or a review and tell me your idea!
