Maka x Soul P.O.V.
We said our good nights to Toby and headed home.
"Can I be the one to tell Black*Star?" Soul asked.
"Sure but I want to see his face when you do."
"Deal."
We walked into the clearing.
"So this is the place?" Soul asked.
"Yep."
"Do you want to try?"
"Yeah I guess we should."
Soul turned to face me and put his hands on either side of my face. We entered soul resonance. I searched, no souls out of place most of them sleeping soundly in there beds. We came out of the resonance.
"We may need to broaden our search Soul it's been two nights and I have not sensed him."
"Tomorrow we will look further." He said his hands still on my face. He leaned in and kissed me, his lips were soft and gentle no rushing this time. He pulled away, and I had to take a deep breath.
"Come on lets go back to the house." Soul said taking my hand. He started walking.
"Soul when you played tonight, the first part… I have never heard you play that."
"No that was new."
"Really they just come to you that quickly?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about the first time we were together."
I stopped walking. Soul turned around to look at me.
"What?" He said.
"You are truly talented; you took all our feelings and made them into music."
"I would not have been able to do it with out you." He smiled.
I jumped at him and he caught me, but being so close the force knocked him backwards. We landed hard on the ground; before he could say anything I kissed him. I didn't have words for the way I felt so I pushed him back into soul resonance so he could feel what I was feeling. We laid there kissing for a while resonating I pulled away looking up and out into the field.
"Maka, what's wrong?"
"He's close. I just picked up his soul wavelength. There something different about it, it's almost like…." My breath caught. "That's why I couldn't pick him up before. Without someone to feed off of it's like he doesn't exist."
"Like…."There is no spoon?" kind of not exist?" Soul asked.
I got up and started running I had to stop him before…
"Maka wait, hold up." Soul called after me.
I came to a stop at the edge of the woods. I made out what looked like a man lying on the ground, but the soul was different. Soul caught up to me, standing behind me watching the same thing I was. We watched as the kishin egg rose out of the man's body almost as a mist and then became solid, holding the human soul in his hand.
"Hey Sandman. Put that soul back, I can't let you have it." I said. "Soul!"
"Yep."
He transformed I was about ready to attack when the kishin egg charged right before we collided he changed into mist. I saw the woods in a haze; I hit the solid ground and blackness.
I transformed back and looked in every direction; there was no kishin egg in sight. My thoughts went back to my Meister.
"Maka?...Maka!" shit, shit, shit…
Her body lay lifeless on the ground. I knelt down and checked for breathing. Good she's breathing. It that thing in her? No time for questions. I put my lips to hers and pushed for soul resonance, normally I would not have been able to initiate this but we have had it so easy lately, plus if she was ok her soul would be open to it. I find her soul peaceful and intact. I dropped resonance and catch my breath. Ok Soul, she is ok. Here's the game plan; get her somewhere safe and report the body to the authorities, that's going to be weird. Contact Kid and let him know what's going on. Then call Black*Star, we're going to need his wavelength. I pick Maka up and carry her to the house. I walked into the back sitting room to find Wes sitting on one of the chairs reading.
"Shit Soul, what happened?"
"Call the cops, we've got a body."
"Maka is she?"
"She's fine just knocked out. Can you call? Tell them the Sandman was involved and that DWMA is involved as well."
Wes nodded as he pulled out his phone. I did the same and dialed.
"Kid we got a body, this guy is tougher then we thought and I'm gong to be calling Black*Star in to help. The authorities are on there way."
"Ok Soul, I will take care of the fuzz, you and Maka are ok right?"
"Yeah Maka's taking an unwanted nap."
"Keep me posted." He hung up.
I dialed the next number. It rang and rang, "come on pick up." I said through my teeth.
"Dude… do you know what time it is?"
"Sorry but I need you to come to Florence, South Carolina."
"What?"
"We need your help." I heard Tsubaki in the back ground asking what was going on. I gave Black*Star time to tell her.
"Ok Soul, we will be there in the morning. Are you guys ok?"
"Yeah, Maka took a hit but… it just knocked her out."
"So tell me what you got."
"Ok, it's a bit hard to explain…" I told him everything Kid had told us and Maka's revelation about how unless the kishin egg is attached to a human he doesn't exist.
"Like the spoon?" Black*Star asked.
"Exactly, not only that but he does this weird mist thing."
"Like the ghost twins?"
"Can we stop making Matrix references?" Maka asked still half asleep.
"Oh good your awake." I said feeling relieved.
"Soul we will see you in the AM, shoot me a text with an address."
"Will do." I hung up and sent him a quick message with the address. I started to hear sirens in the distance. My phone was going off, Kids ring tone.
"Hey kid."
"I have talked with the Florence police and they know what is going on, just let them know what you know and the whereabouts of the body."
"Thanks Kid."
He hung up. I turned my attention to my Meister who was still half out of it. "You ok?"
"Yeah just really tired." She yawned. "Hey why didn't it affect you?"
"I think me being in weapon form made me immune. Why don't you get some sleep, I will take care of everything." I kissed her on her forehead, when I pulled away she was out.
Kid had called and explained the situation so all I had to do was point them to the body. We had never really had to deal with bodies before, we had always been able to catch them before they killed or the human they killed would be on public property and we let others find it and report it. But this time this was privet property and we had watched it happen. By the time the cops left with the body and I had explained to my parents what had happened and our plan of action as well as asking or more or less telling them they would play host to another Weapon/Meister team, the light of day could be seen just over the horizon. If I was lucky I would get in a couple hours of sleep. I picked Maka up and carried her up stairs, it was a pain in the ass carrying her up the spiral stairs but I managed. I laid her down on the bed and lay down next to her; I closed my eyes for what felt like a second and sleep caught up to me and I was out.
I woke up to the sound of my phone going off, letting me know I had a new text message. I rolled over to find Maka still sleeping next to me; I scooted closer and snuggled into her spooning her. My eyes were getting heavy again, but my damn phone went off again. I rolled back over and picked it up off the nightstand. I clicked the screen on, two new messages.
Black*Star
Just landed.
Leaving now. B there in 20.
I got up still dressed from last night. I thought about waking up Maka but decided against it. I grab my jacket and pull it on; I slip my shoes on and head down stairs still half asleep. Out of curiosity I click my phone on again, 8:45 AM. Almost three hours of sleep, I have functioned on less.
I walked towards the dinning room knowing my family would still be in there for breakfast, opening the door just to peek in.
Yep, the whole family. "Hey um… Black*Star and Tsubaki will be here shortly, thank you again for letting us take over."
"Whatever you need son."
'Whatever you need son'? Where was this guy all my life? It is defiantly going to take some getting use to. I never thought I would ever hear my Father say anything close to what I just heard. 'Whatever you need son.'
"Your friends are more then welcome to have breakfast if they like we could even have it sent up to the rooms. Traveling at night must be hard." Mom said.
"Yeah, I'll ask when they get here, thanks Mom."
"Soul, will you bring them in here when they do arrive?"
"Yeah, this way you know who's staying, a word of caution, Black*Star is…. Well let me just say there's no one better then Black*Star."
I left them with puzzled looks on their faces, walking into the entry and opened the front door just as a yellow cab pulled to a stop. I stood on the porch and waited. Black*Star and Tsubaki got out of the cab with their bags and stood in the drive in 'aw' while the cab drove off.
"Wow Soul, it's so beautiful." Tsubaki said.
"Dude sweet digs." Black*Star added.
"Thanks, how was the flight?"
"It was alright." Tsubaki said.
"You look tired man."
"Thanks Black*Star."
"Where's Maka?" Tsubaki asked.
"Sleeping. Come on, the family requests a formal greeting, then I'll show you to your room and get you guys some breakfast if your hungry."
"I'm always hungry; it's the price I pay for being a god."
We walked into the entryway, "You can set your stuff here we can pick them up on the way back through to your room." I explained.
They followed me down the hall and in through the dinning room door.
"Dad, Mom, Wes, this is Black*Star the Bushin Assassin, and is Shadow Weapon Tsubaki. Black*Star, Tsubaki this is my Family, my father Frank Evans, my mother Grace Evans, and my older brother Wes."
Everyone said their greetings.
"Thank you for letting us stay with you in your beautiful home." Tsubaki said.
"Yeah it sure beats the crappie little hotel rooms we usually stay in." Black*Star added.
"You're welcome." Dad said.
"You two must be tired." Mom added.
Oh jeez, here it comes. She's going to ask them to stay in separate rooms.
"A guest room has been prepared for you, while you stay. I assume you two have the same living arrangements as my son and Maka? If not a second room can be prepared."
"Naw, me and Tsubaki have been sleeping in the same room for years." Black*Star informed us.
"Well then your room is ready for you, we won't keep you any longer. Soul your Father and I have some errands to run so we will be out most the day." Mom said as she got up from her seat.
Dad stood up as well. They both walked out of the room exchanging "nice to meet you's" as they went.
"Ok there's defiantly something in the water." I said.
"Naw, their just growin up." Wes said.
We both laughed.
"Well baby bro, I'd love to stay and chat but I have a date this afternoon."
"Tryin to catch up to your baby brother huh?"
"Hell no, you guys are practically married already, however if that's what it takes to get some crazy back scars like yours I may have to change up my game."
I laughed.
"Just remember my room is off limits, you can do it any where else just not my room, please bro."
"We're not that bad Wes."
"Ah huh… by the time you guys leave we will have to buy all new furniture."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm just saying you fuck like bunnies." Wes said as he walked out the door.
I laughed because it was true, every time I touched her I had to fight down the urge.
"We missed something." Tsubaki whispered to Black*Star.
"No you didn't. He's been teasing me like this since he found out. Anyway, you guys hungry?" I asked.
"Yeah." Black*Star said snapping his brain out of perversion mood.
"K, let me just tell the kitchen staff to take your breakfast up to your room." I peeked in to the kitchen door and asked them to make four plates, two of which need to be taken up to the guest room, and that I would be back for the other two. On second thought make the last two and put them on one plate.
"Ok, lets get you up to you room, I'll give you the 5cent tour as we go."
We left the dinning room.
"Down that hall is the back sitting room, this is the entry. please pick up your bags, to the left is the front sitting room and the library." We walked up the stairs. "Down the hall to you left is a bunch of rooms, no need to go there, to the right is your room." I stopped at the double doors and pointed to the door at the end of the hall. "That is my room, your welcome to come up, but please knock, we are not an improve theater as some may think."
I looked at Wes as he walked by. "Sorry bro, maybe we should come up with a system you know hang a sock on the door knob or something." He said sarcastically.
"Or you could just knock!." I yelled.
"Ok now we have missed something." Black*Star said.
Wes laughed. "Just don't ask for an encore." He laughed again.
"Moving on." I opened the double doors. "This is your room. Over there is the bathroom and yeah, make your selves at home. In a couple of hours we should meet and go over details with Kid."
"Sounds good." Tsubaki said.
"Ok, food should be here soon."
"Thanks Soul, now go get some sleep, you look like you got maybe four hours of sleep." Tsubaki said.
"Try almost three." I walked out of the room closing the double doors behind me. Walking down the stairs to go get breakfast for Maka and I, I passed Nana and another maid bringing Black*Star and Tsubaki's trays up.
"Hey Nana, don't let Black*Star give you any crap ok."
She smiled.
I was able to fit our plate of food as well as two glasses of orange juice on the tray and took it up to the room. I set it down on the desk and walked over to the bed, crawling back in. I resumed my spoon, kissing her shoulder made her move.
"Morning Maka."
"Mmmm….morning." She said stretching. "Have you heard from Black*Star and Tsubaki on when they are going to get here?"
"They just got here. They are in their room eating breakfast which reminds me I brought ours up as well; hope you don't mind sharing a plate."
"They're already here? How long have I been out?"
"All night."
"Did you get some sleep?"
A couple of hours, after breakfast I need to take a nap. Black*Star and Tsubaki are going to do the same, they are beat from traveling."
She stood up and brought the try over; we shared it with out fighting over the last piece of bacon. With a full stomach I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open.
"Soul I should change you bandage, I was going to do it last night but."
"Yeah… you fell asleep, good job Meister." I said playfully as I took my shirt off.
She sighed and I watched her as she got up and put the tray back on the desk then went to the bathroom to get the supplies. She changed my arm, it was looking better in my opinion very little blood on the gauze this time. She finished up and went to put the supplies back in the bathroom on her way back she stripped down completely and got back into bed.
"You should do the same you'll sleep better."
My eyes half open I shed what was left of my clothes, slipping back under the covers and went back to spooning Maka. She was right the warmness of our bodies had a calming effect; I kissed her shoulder and blacked out.
I lay there not really tired anymore but being wrapped in Soul's warm arms with a satisfied tummy and his hot breath on my neck I couldn't help it. I snuggled in deeper into his embrace pushing my body closer to his, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I woke up to Soul nuzzling my neck with his nose. I rolled over to lie on my back, his hand moving from my hip down to a more sensitive spot. I took a sharp inhale of air as his fingers rub over my clitoris; I thrust my hips just slightly.
Slowly his fingers rub, I can feel a moan growing and crawling its way up my throat escaping my lips. My right hand instinctively moves to above my head to give me leverage, my left hand starts to gather and grip the sheets. Soul has not said anything but I know he's awake; he leans in and starts to kiss my neck. Oh, that feels good. I let out another moan. My body starts to tense up and I can tell its building.
"Soul…" I exhale.
His fingers slide down entering me, going straight to my core, petting my g-spot. I hated that he knew me that well but anger was quickly replaced as my orgasm was suddenly taking over.
"Fuck…" I moaned.
Soul's lips forming into a smile, I knew he loved it when he caused me to curse. With out letting me recover he went back to rubbing my clitoris.
"Soul… I can't…" I started to say as another orgasm over rode the last thought.
His fingers stopped moving but stayed where they where at and with my heaving breathing and my body twitching I was not helping myself. I had to concentrate to stop my body from moving. I was starting to regain my normal breathing when he started again, his fingers re-entering while his thumb took up the job of rubbing. I can't take this much longer I want him thrusting hard into me. I want the hotness of his body in my. My body was tightening at the thought, oh Death.
"Fuck Soul… Fuck me… I can't… take anymore…"
He stopped what he was doing and raised his body above mine.
Yes please… Fuck me now!
'Knock, knock, knock'
"Come back in 15!" Soul Yelled.
'Knock, knock, knock'
I used soul perception just to be sure I was yelling at the right person. "Fucking go away Black*Star!"
Soul looked at me strangely.
"Yeah you got me that good, now fuck me please."
He thrust so hard his cock went straight to my cervix, "Yes!" I screamed. Soul continued to thrust deep into me. I moan and cry and scream my pleasures out unable to form words any more. He's back to rubbing my g-spot and my orgasm is about to take me over, my body tensing up. I can feel Soul's rhythm change and him getting harder like he does right before he comes. I let my orgasm take me, thrusting my hips into him harder. He falters and goes down to his elbows allowing me to feel his ragged breathing on my neck, one last hard thrust.
"Fuck… Maka…" then a growl escapes his throat.
I can feel as his body releases hot fluid inside me.
He lays there for a couple of minutes while both of us catch our breath.
"One of these days I will have to get you back for all you're teasing." I said.
He just laughed before pulling himself from me, he lay down next to me and we stay there for a bit longer before we decide we should get up and take a shower and get dresses so we can brief Black*Star and Tsubaki on the kishin egg. We walked down the spiral stairs and down the hall to their room. Soul knocked on the door.
It opens. "It's about time." Black*Star says as he moves to let us in. "It's a good thing your families out for the day. I swear if I have to listen to her again I'll ask you to fuck me so I know what's so good about it." He laughed.
I blushed hard, feeling the heat in my ears.
"Sorry dude you're not my type but if you insist, my friend Toby can help you out."
"What's this? My godly looks have crossed over to attract males as well?"
"Sure has."
"That must mean that Tsubaki has special powers of her own for being able to resist you this long." I said.
Tsubaki blushed. "I wish I could tell you that was true Maka."
"What?!... When?" I asked.
"Uhm… about a week ago."
I look over to Soul and Black*Star. Black*Star has a huge grin on his face and in the process of a fist bump with Soul.
"Now Kids the only one left." Soul said.
Tsubaki and I started to giggle.
"What?" Soul asked.
"Let's just say he has a friends with benefits agreement with both Liz and Patty." Black*Star said.
"And I'm the only one who didn't know about it?"
"Yep, I guess so." I said.
"Well shit, I'm going to have to talk to him."
"I don't know how he will take that Soul." Tsubaki said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well Liz told me about it." I said.
"And Patty blurted it to me and Black*Star." Tsubaki said.
We all turned to Black*Star. "I caught him and Liz in the Death Room. When I asked about Patty since she had told me and Tsubaki, Kid had to explain the agreement between the three of them."
"Walking in without knocking again huh?" Soul punched Black*Star in the arm. "I guess being a God of Death comes with bonuses. Anyway, we have work to do, let's go down to the sitting room."
We all walked down the stairs and went into the green house sitting room.
"Ok guys I have a plan. We are going to use group resonance to boost Tsubaki's already strong soul to ring the dinner bell. When the kishin egg enters her she will be able to fight him off long enough for Black*Star to push him out using his soul wavelength then Maka and I will be able to take him out before he attacks anyone else."
"When did you have time to cook that one? Don't tell me you can fuck and think of great plans like that at the same time!" Black*Star yelled.
"What if I can?"
"Tsubaki we have training to do!"
Maka laughed.
"So explain to me what happened last night." Tsubaki said ignoring Black*Star.
I told her the whole story from the time Maka sensed the kishin egg to the time I had to carry her in the house, leaving out the Matrix references for Maka's sake.
"Hey Soul, did you find out who the human was?" Maka asked.
"Karma."
"What?" She looked at me puzzled.
"Let's just say Mike is no longer a problem."
"Oh."
"So we should call Kid and let him know our plan." I said.
Maka walked over to one of the near by windows and called Kid.
Liz appeared. "Hey guys, Kid's a little busy at the moment."
"We were just talking about that, give it up." Black*Star said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Liz said.
"If you were me you could say that and really mean it." I said, "But your not, so when will him and Patty be done?"
Liz turned red. "That's not what he's busy with, Patty's right here."
"Hi guys!" Patty said.
"So what is he busy with then?" Maka asked.
"Can't say." Liz said.
"Well have him call me when he's done we wanted to go over our plan with him." I said.
"He told me to let you know you are clear to go through with any plan you guys feel is necessary, he trusts you guys. That is as long as Black*Star didn't come up with it."
"HEY!" Black*Star yelled.
We all laughed and the window changed back.
"I wonder what he is up to." Maka said.
"So we have a while before nightfall what's fun around here?" Black*Star asked.
Maka and I look at each other.
"Lake?" I suggest.
Maka shrugged, "We can show them the space on the way."
"Lake it is."
We walked out the back door, though the garden and into the field. The day was unseasonably warm in the high 80's, and the sun felt good.
"Well here it is guys, our battle ground." I said.
"Yeah, this will do." Black*Star said, "Now onto the lake!"
We kept walking, Maka and Tsubaki were chatting with each other behind me and Black*Star, trading stories probably.
Black*Star leaned in, "So Soul, give me some pointers. How do you get her to be that loud?"
I laughed. "I play piano remember."
He blinked eyes at me.
"Maybe you should have paid more attention in health class."
"They didn't teach us that kind of stuff in health class."
"Part of it is knowing the anatomy."
"Oh, well I can tell Tsubaki paid attention, but I bet she's not as good as Maka."
I scratched the back of my head. That was one thing we hadn't done.
"You mean she hasn't….?"
"No, but I don't care if she never does, I am satisfied with what we have."
"You might think differently if she had."
"So you guys did it for the first time last week?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Well…..?"
"We were just sitting on the couch and we were bored so we agreed that we would try stuff, one thing led to another. But you and Soul, that must have been amazing. We all have waited for so long."
"Yeah it was amazing. At first it was confusing, but then it was like we clicked and were on the same page."
"From the sounds of it, it has continued to be amazing."
"You have no idea. What about you and Black*Star?"
"Well it was awkward at first but I think we are getting the hang of it."
"If he keeps up on it like he does all his other training I'm sure it will get to be amazing for you too."
We came to the clearing of the lake, and walked up to the bank to the fire area from last night. Toby sat on one of the logs.
"Hey Toby!" I called.
He looked up, "Hey Soul."
"Sorry about Mike dude, even though he was an ass I know you guys were friends."
"Hey that's ok, he really did have it coming."
"Here is something that will cheer you up. Toby meet Black*Star officially."
Toby started to turn pink, "Hey how's it going?" Toby said nervously
"Toby is an old friend from before the academy." I added.
"Just preparing for a battle, you know the norm." Black*Star said, "Nice to meet you."
"Hey Toby." Maka said catching up, Tsubaki in tow.
"Hi Maka."
"Toby, this is Tsubaki, Black*Star's partner."
"Nice to meet you Tsubaki." Toby said.
"Nice to meet you too." Tsubaki replied.
So… you guys are planning to take down the thing that killed Mike?" Toby asked.
"Yep, hopefully with the help of Tsubaki and Black*Star we can take him down tonight."
"Cool."
"Yeah, just make sure you and the others stay home tonight."
"Will do."
"So what are you doing out here now?" Maka asked.
"Just thinking plus I was bored." Toby said.
"Us too." I said.
"Well normally in the summer we go swimming." Toby said.
"That sounds fun." Black*Star said.
"The water is freezing this time of year." Toby said.
"Cold water can't stop me." Black*Star said taking his shoes off, along with his shirt and shorts leaving him in nothing but his boxers.
He ran and jumped into the lake. "Yahooooo!"
"What an idiot." Maka said.
I looked over to Toby and Tsubaki who were stripping down, I watched as they ran into the water.
"The waters not that bad." Tsubaki said.
"Fuck it." I said taking off my clothes.
"Come on Maka!" Black*Star yelled.
"I don't think…."
I walked over in my boxers, "You're coming in, question is will it be willingly?"
"Soul don't you dare."
I came at her with intentions to fire man carry her if she made me.
"I'm not going in." She crossed her arms across her chest and turned away from me.
I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder.
"Soul…no…put me down…I need my shoes dry for battle."
I slipped her shoes off and I went into the water. Before the water touched her I threw her back over my shoulder and into the water as she screamed.
She broke the surface, "Bullllshhhhit it's not ccccold."
Everyone laughed. We swam and played around in the lake for a while before our lips turned blue, then we decided to get out and dry off in the afternoon sun. Maka had finally stripped down.
"I'll freeze if I wear wet clothes." She glared at me.
After drying off for a bit we all put our clothes back on. I ended up giving my shirt to Maka who was wearing her damp skirt.
"Well Toby, we better get back." I said.
"Yeah me too. Good luck with everything tonight. It was nice to meet you Tsubaki, Black*Star. I hope to see you again before you go back home."
"Yeah." Tsubaki said.
"See ya later Toby." I said.
We started walking back to the house. By the time we got back Maka was shivering and cursing me for dragging her in.
"Let's go upstairs and take a hot shower." I said.
"That sounds nice." Tsubaki said grabbing Black*Star's hand.
I turned to look at him, good he was the only one looking, I held my hand up and wiggled my fingers. He got a huge grin on his face.
I fallowed Maka up the spiral stairs listening to her teeth chatter and I could not help but laugh.
"This isn't funny Soul. If I get sick it will be all your fault."
I grabbed her around the waist. "Calm down." She turned to face me, anger showed on her face, she was going to complain some more.
"I'm serious Soul…"
I kissed her before she could say anymore. I broke away feeling just how cold she was but didn't want to give her any fuel so I didn't say anything. "Stop complaining and just admit that you had fun, despite being cold."
"Fine… I had fun." She smiled.
"Now let's go wash the lake off, then we can take a hot bath."
We both stripped down and got in the shower, Maka cut off the lake water drenched bandage on my arm before washing our hair and rinsing our bodies. I put the stopper in the tub and started filling it with hot water. I sat down and put my back against the cold tub, Maka sat between my legs her head on my chest.
The water filled up fast and we were lucky that the tub was large enough and deep enough, the water coming up to our chins. Maka used her foot to turn the water off and we sat soaking.
"This feels much better then that lake." Maka said as she turned her face up to kiss my neck.
I let out a low grown, "Yeah it does."
She continued to kiss my neck lightly, I closed my eyes trying to keep my breathing under control. I may have been able to keep my breathing under control but my body gave me away, by the time she scooted closer to reach my ear my hard erection was trapped between our bodies. She giggled a little before she continued, her teeth grazed my ear. My breath stopped for a second and I had to concentrate to get it to continue. Her hand came down around and her small fingers wrapped around my cock, she slowly started to stroke. Another grown came out, she giggled again.
Whispering in my ear with a breathy voice, "It's not so fun being on the other end of teasing is it…?"
My hand came down, fingers going straight to her clit which took the breath right out of her.
"You know for a three star Meister you sure leave yourself open to an attack, bad form Ms. Albarn."
She removed her hand from my cock and just used our bodies to continue her assault, using her strong arms to raise and lower her body rubbing me in between. I used my fingers to attack her back but it was a little counter productive the more I rubbed the more she moved.
"You want to call a truce?" I said breathy.
She nodded.
"I need a verbal agreement." I said putting my fingers into her.
"Yes!" she yelled.
I moved my hands to her waist, grabbing her hips and raising her up high enough to release me from between our bodies. When she came back down my cock entered her tight pussy. In this position and with the water I really was unable to move much so I kept a good hold on her hips and slid her up and down my body; it was slow going but allowed for more sensation. She did not seem to mind, her hands on my knees gripping them tight. Her body slowly tightening, I can feel every inch of her including when the head of my cock hits her cervix. Her breathing became long drown out breaths. Her fingers digging into my knees, she lets out a half moan half cry. I stop moving and her right hand lets go of my knee and comes up to touch my face turning it so she could kiss me. We kiss deeply for a while, the water turning cold. She breaks the kiss, standing up wrapping a towel around her and stepping out of the tub. She walks out of the bathroom, leaving me in a cooling tub of water with half a hard on.
I get out of the tub pulling the plug. I wrap my own towel around my waist and walked out of the bathroom. I looked in the obvious place, the bed, but Maka wasn't there.
Her voice coming from behind me, "Took you long enough."
She leaned up against the wall; I turned around putting my hand up on the wall next to her shoulder and kissed her. I force my tongue into her mouth giving me a moan. Her hands went to the towel around my waist, my half erection no longer a problem as she started to stroke it again. My hands went back to her hips pulling her towel away at the same time I pick her up, her hand letting me go to wrap her arms around my neck as I pushed her up against the wall and proceeded to push my erection into her tight pussy for the second time. Pinned between my body and the wall she had no control over the situation as she moaned in my ear. Thrusting hard into her it took me no time at all to get close; her body was showing the signs of her getting there too.
Her hands were in my hair now and she was lightly pulling until she started to come. She pulled hard crying out, that set me off. I growled in her ear pushing her harder into the wall before relaxing. I started to shake holding her up, but I was able to let her down slowly without dropping her. I still had to hold onto her so she could regain the leg strength to stand.
We had just enough time to recuperate get dressed and redress my arm before going down for dinner. I stopped at Black*Star and Tsubaki's door and stuck my ear to the wooden door, listening before knocking. Nothing… so I knocked. A couple of minutes pass before Tsubaki answers the door wearing a bath robe. "Hey." She said her face a little red. Maka giggled.
"Just coming to let you guys know dinner is going to be served and we have some last minute prep before the fight we should go over." I said.
"Right." She looked back into the room, and then turned back to me. "Wait one minute." She closed the door.
We waited, I ended up leaning up against the wall, and Maka sat on the floor. Five minutes later the door opened. Tsubaki walked out with pink cheeks, Black*Star was behind her looking exhausted. Maka and Tsubaki walked ahead giggling. I walked over to Black*Star and put my hand on his back.
"You going to be ok buddy?" I asked.
"Yeah, just need food. Why is it they can get off more and still have energy?"
"I'm surprised with all the endurance training you you've done that you're not hangin in there better."
"You would think."
We made it to the dinning room to find my parents and brother waiting for us. Maka had taken a post next to Wes, letting Black*Star and Tsubaki sit together and me across from her. We all exchanged pleasantries and the salad was brought out.
"So what's on the menu tonight?" Wes asked.
"Slow roasted turkey with all the fixings." Dad said.
It was still weird to see him like this and even weirder that I came home because he was sick, but he didn't look sick. Other then the first day we were here and he had an IV and oxygen. I would have to ask, but not tonight not in front of Black*Star and Tsubaki. Salads were done and the turkey and sides were brought out.
My Father does what he always does when he doesn't know what else to talk about, for most people they talk about the whether, for my Father is was ask about your parents. He asked Tsubaki first and they were pleasantly talking about her family and their dojo in Japan. The he asked Black*Star.
"Oh…my parents are dead." Black*Star said like it was no big deal, to him it was just that no big deal.
My family on the other hand looked shocked.
"Yeah they died when I was a baby, long story short the academy took me in, Sid one of the teachers there raised me until I partnered with Tsubaki. Then we moved in together and the rest is history."
"Well we are so happy to have you here now." Mom said having no idea what else to say.
"So sorry to cut this dinner short but we should really get out to our spot and go over details before the kishin egg can kill again." I said.
"Oh, well be safe, all of you." Dad said.
"We always are. Thank you for dinner." Black*Star said.
"Yes thank you." Maka and Tsubaki added.
We got up from the table and started walking out the door.
"Soul…" I turned. "We love you." Mom said.
"Love you guys too." I said walking out.
We walked into the middle of the field.
"Ok guys for this to work the kishin egg can only see and sense Tsubaki's soul so we have to resonate with her so all our souls just look like one. We are going to have to do this from the tree line.
"Black*Star, you will resonate with me and Soul and then I will push it to Tsubaki. We can't attack until he has entered her. Tsubaki you think you can fight him off for a minute or so while still playing the victim? We don't won't him abandoning his "meal" because you fight too much." Maka explained.
"Yeah not a problem Maka." Tsubaki said.
"Once we know he is sticking around Black*Star will hit him with his wavelength and Maka and I will take him down. "I said.
"Sounds good let's get this done." Black*Star said.
Maka and I started walking for the tree line. I looked back to look if Black*Star was following and caught a glimpse of the two of them kissing.
"Come on, there will be plenty of time for that afterwards. "I shouted over my shoulder.
Black*Star ran up behind us. "I was just giving her some good luck I'm like Buddha, kiss my lips and you get good luck."
I could only laugh.
We got to the tree line and took some deep breaths to clear all our minds. "It's all you Maka."
"Soul."
"Yep."
Soul transformed, I held him calmly in my hand. I closed my eyes. Soul and I only had to think about it and we were resonating. I pushed out.
"Black*Star?"
"Present."
I pushed further. "Tsubaki?"
"I'm here."
I opened my eyes to see Tsubaki's soul grow to an enormous size.
"Ok, the plan is to hold it for five minutes rest for three repeat. Other wise we will use all our energy resonating, every one good with that."
I got a "Yep" in unison.
We sat quietly for the five minutes concentrating on our breathing. Then I broke resonance.
I'm going to use my soul perception to search just incase I can pick him up." I said.
Closing my eyes again I searched, "Nothing."
"That just means he's not feeding right? He could still be in the area?" Black*Star asked.
"Yeah, and with Tsubaki flashing her soul it should act like a dinner bell. Let's get ready to do it again."
We resonated again and held it. We went off and on eight more times, I was just about to give up, my vision going fuzzy around the edges when I felt him. He plunged thought the resonance and my eyes shot back into focus just in time to see the Sandman go all ghost and enter Tsubaki's body.
"Go Black*Star!"
I ran after him, knowing he would get there before me, "When you get there wait for me."
"Can do Maka."
I caught up quickly and nodded to Black*Star who understood. He pushed his wavelength into Tsubaki pushing the kishin egg Sandman out. I swung Soul and sliced him just as he went solid. His body diminished and his soul glowed red hovering.
"Tsubaki!" Black*Star yelled as he caught her collapsing body.
I used soul perception to look at her, "She's just asleep Black*Star."
"I knew that. Guess this one's yours Soul."
"Yum, dessert." Soul said.
Black*Star picked Tsubaki up and we walked back to the house. It was late but the lights were on when we walked in.
"Oh, your back already? Oh is she?" Grace Evans asked.
"Yeah it went well, and she is just asleep. In fact we all are really tired." Soul said.
"That's good to hear, we will let you get some sleep." Frank Evans said.
"Battle stories in the morning?" Wes asked.
"Hell yeah!" Black*Star said.
We helped Black*Star get Tsubaki settled for the night and then went up to our own room. I took my jacket and shoes off and stripped down before putting on a pair of Soul's sleep pants, I had only packed shorts and I still felt chilled even after the fight. I still only wore a tank top. I went in the bathroom went potty and brushed my teeth and washed my face. I passed Soul on my way out but went straight for the bed. I was so tired and cold. I was already half asleep when Soul slipped in bed behind me, wrapping he in his warmth.
I woke up the next morning with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I knew it. I slipped out of Souls grip and went into the bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes are blood shot. I grab some tissue and blew my nose.
"Maka?!" Soul called.
I walked out of the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"I'm sick thanks to you and your "come swim with us in the lake, it will be fun." I told you this would happen."
"It does not help that you pushed yourself to hard last night, focusing that much wavelength can't be easy."
I lay back down, "yeah I know, I'm going back to sleep." I said snuggling into him and falling asleep again.
I lay there until I thought I could slip away with out waking her. Her breathing was relaxed and shallow, kissing her softly on her forehead to check her temperature. No fever…yet. I slipped out of the covers trying not to allow any warmth escape. I was able to get dressed and put my shoes on before I heard her.
"Soul?"
I walked over to the bed and kissed her on the forehead again. "I'll bring you something to eat and some meds when I come back up, you should stay and get some sleep."
"K. I love you."
"Love you too."
She fell back to sleep. I went downstairs and passed by Black*Star and Tsubaki's door but I heard an unmistakable "Yahoo!" come from downstairs.
Walking into the dinning room I was surprised to see Black*Star standing on his chair in the middle of telling my family one of his fight stories. My family on the edge of their seats smiles on their faces. I'm back in Wonderland.
Black*Star paused. "Morning Soul, Where's Maka?"
"She pushed herself to hard; she's got a bit of a cold."
"Oh, that's too bad." Mom said.
"Yeah… you guys got some cold meds?"
"We do up in the bathroom at the top of the stairs."
"Thanks, I'm going to take her some food and meds after breakfast."
"Yeah that's sweet and all but not as sweet as the time I…."
Black*Star went back to his stories as I ate my breakfast and waited for the servers to dish up a plate for Maka. Before leaving I look at Wes and signaled for him to follow me out, not wanting to interrupt another one of God Black*Star's stories. We were able to leave with out anyone noticing.
"What's up?" Wes asked.
"What's the deal with Dad, I came home because he was sick but other then the first day he has not acted sick."
"I thought he would have told you by now… He has cancer. The first day you were here was a day after one of his treatments. He pulls it together for awhile but treatment takes it out of him, he goes in every other week."
"How bad, I mean you all acted like he was on his deathbed."
"He was… but yesterday at his appointment the Doctor's said it was shrinking and that it was probably due to his change of mood."
"Well then that's good right, I mean he's getting better?"
"For now, you better go take care of your own sicky."
"Yeah thanks."
I stopped off at the bathroom and got the cold meds, then went up the stairs with meds and food in hand. Maka was in the bathroom; I set the food down on the desk and knocked on the door.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, but don't come in here ok."
"Why?"
"Cause it's no longer just a runny nose and sore throat."
"Oh well I brought up some meds and food."
"Oh Death…." She groaned before I heard her throw up.
"I'll just take this back down stairs and get some water."
After a couple more convolutions my stomach settled. I sat there after flushing the bile away, breathing. I finally was able to get up off the floor to wash my face of the cold sweat that had collected and brush my teeth of the acid taste. This was the first time one of us has been sick since we got together. I wonder, no I hope he avoided me like I have the plague like he's done in the past. I walked out of the bathroom and went and lay back down, my head was killing me but sleep found me soon and I was yet again sucked in.
I came back up the stairs and found Maka asleep again. I kissed her forehead noticing her temp was higher. I was starting to get worried, normally I wouldn't be, but her symptoms were progressing so fast. I decided to ask if my parents had a Doctor on call. I walked back downstairs for the third time and into the sitting room where the family was still being told stories.
"Um… sorry to interrupt but do you guys have a Doctor on call?"
"Is she getting that bad?" Dad asked.
"If she keeps going she might."
"Yeah we do, should I call him now?"
"You could call him and let him know what's going on."
"Ok, I'll do that. How is she now?"
"She's sleeping now but it's gotten to vomiting."
I watched everyone's faces as they recall the last time they all had their last unpleasantness of vomiting.
"Yeah, I'll call and let him know to stand by."
"I appreciate it."
"You're welcome; now go take care of her."
I went back upstairs. Maka still asleep but she was shivering even with the blankets on her. I changed into my sleep pants and crawled back into bed behind her, pushing my body against her. She stopped shivering and relaxed. I closed my eyes and drifted off.
I woke up dripping with sweat, I got up and urgently went to the bathroom closing the door then falling to my knees in front of the toilet vomiting only stomach acid. It felt as if I was going to turn myself inside out with the violent-ness of it. By the time I was done I was weak and light headed and sweating however the vomiting had turned into shivering. I flushed the bile away and tried to stand up but ended up back on the floor, the cold tile of the floor not helping the shivering. My vision started to go fuzzy and I saw the stars that told me I'm going to pass out. I reached out with my wavelength before everything went black. "Soul….."
I woke up with a jolt, Maka's voice lingering in my head. She wasn't next to me and I saw the bathroom light was on and the door closed. I got up and knocked as I opened the door.
"Maka are you…Shit!" She was lying on the floor drenched in sweat. I picked her up and carried her to the bed. I grabbed my phone and called Wes.
The phone rang twice. "Baby brother it's 1:38 in the…."
"Call the Doc. I'm moving Maka to the second guest room."
I hung up the phone, picked Maka back up and I was moving Wes met me in the hallway opening the doors to the room. I went straight for the bed and laid her down.
"Soul she does not look good. Here take her temp."
I took the thermometer from Wes and stuck the little end thingy in her ear.
'BEEP' "104.3"
"The doctor will be here in twenty minutes."
"Shit that's to long, call him back and let him know her temp."
Wes walked out of the room to call. I could hear him talking then he poked his head in. "Soul, he says to put her in a lukewarm bath; that will help bring her temp down without shocking her system. He's about fifteen minutes away."
I ran into the bathroom and started filling the bathtub. I let the water run as I went back out to Maka. I stripped the sleep pants off her leaving her tank top and underwear on and picked her up taking her to the bathroom. As I looked at the tub, really looked at it for the first time I realized if I put her in it by herself unconscious she was likely to drown. I stepped in the tub still dressed in my sleep pants and sat down cradling her in my arms.
Wes came back in, "What are you…."
"This is a huge ass tub; I thought Dad was too cheap for an indoor pool. Go wake up Tsubaki I'm going to need her help."
Wes nodded and walked out of the room.
"Damn it Maka why do you have to push yourself so hard? And I'm sorry for dragging you into that lake."
I closed my eyes and opened the link for resonating. I found her in the red and black room.
"Soul what's going on? I'm so hot."
"Yeah you're really sick and I can't help but blame myself for part of it. There is a Doctor coming but right now we are in a bathtub cooling you down."
"What's my temp?"
"104.3, I need you to hang in there, you will be alright we just need to get your temp down and some fluids in you."
She nodded, "Take care of me."
"I will." I kissed her.
The room dissolved and I opened my eyes finding Tsubaki leaning over the tub. "What can I do?"
"Go up to our room and get some dry cloths for her and me, then I will need your help dressing her."
"Ok." She left.
"Wes, check her temp."
He walked over to the tub and stuck the thermometer in her ear.
'BEEP' "101.1"
"Expectable." I said.
"I'm going to go down and wait for the doctor." He said as he turned and left.
"Just like Maka to play the damsel in distress to steal the spot light."
"Shut up Black*Star and get in here and help me get her out of this pool of a tub."
Black*Star walked over from his spot in the doorway and picked Maka up so I could get out without slipping. Tsubaki returned with dry cloths which I changed first not caring who was in the room then sent Black*Star out so Tsubaki and I could change Maka into dry cloths. I then picked her up and took her to the bed. Black*Star had pulled the covers down so I could lay her down. I pulled only the sheet over her, grabbed the thermometer from the nightstand where Wes had laid it down and took her temp.
'BEEP' "99.9" I said with a sigh of relief.
There was a knock on the door then it opened. It was Wes.
"Dr. Emers is here." They walked in. "Dr. Emers this is my brother Soul and…"
"To hell with introductions boy, where is my patient?"
"Right here, I was able to bring her temp down below 100*."
"When did she start getting sick?"
"She woke up this morning with a sore throat and running nose, with in two hours she was vomiting but the fever did not set in until late yesterday afternoon but it was not this high. I found her about forty minutes ago on the bathroom floor."
"Do you know how long she was there?"
"Only minutes."
"Ok, I'm going to give her IV fluids, you did a good job getting her temp down and I will give her meds to help keep it down. Has she taken anything?"
"No, she slept the whole day, so I was not able to give her any cold meds."
"Good, this means nothing will have a reaction with pre taken meds."
He started getting out all of the IV equipment and prepping Maka's arm for the needle. Sticking her and getting it all hooked up only took seconds. Us Weapon/Meisters should learn how to do this along with CPR it could save lives in the field; I'm going to have to talk to Kid.
"Ok. Keep an eye on her temp and make sure she gets a lot of sleep. From what your brother has told me and from what I can see" He nodded at my scars, "you kids are not unfamiliar to IV drips; you think you can take this out of her arm in a couple of hours or do I need to stick around?"
"No I can do it." I said.
"Alright, when she wakes up push water and try and get her to eat some toast. If the vomiting continues please don't hesitate to call me."
"Will do Doc; thank you."
"Yes thank you Dr. Emers." Wes said.
The Doc was looking at my arm. "You shouldn't let a wet bandage sit on a wound, let me…" He stood up and took out a pair of scissors from his bag and cut the bandage off. "There, it is healed enough that you should not need to wrap it anymore unless it gets reopened."
"Thanks" I said.
"Alright, Wes I would like a word with you."
"Yes sir, I'll walk you out."
Wes and the Doc. left the room. I turned to Tsubaki and Black*Star.
"Thanks for your help guys. I think I can take it from here."
"Are you sure?" Tsubaki asked.
"Yeah; go on and get some sleep."
"Ok, night Soul, Maka." She said.
"Just yell and your God will be here." Black*Star turned and followed Tsubaki out the door closing it behind them.
I lay down next to Maka and closed my eyes. I was back in the red and black room. I sat down on the red velvet couch with the arm of it at my back, one leg stretched along its back. Maka walked over and sat down lying back on my chest, taking my arm and placing it across her.
"I'll be alright."
"I know."
We lay there until we both fell asleep.
