Title: Fact of the Matter
Author: XFiercexxx
Genre: ...General?
Pairing: ArachneSoul I guess if you're into that. But also SoulMaka if you want to see it that way…I cheated XD
Note: We literally picked this pairing out of a hat. I kid you not. We got some wacked out pairings and Kid wouldn't stop being such a manwhore the silly boy so we took him out eventually.

The fact of the matter is that Soul pities her.
She is angry, mean and alone. Her only family constantly plots against her. The world hates her. And not only is every Meister and Weapon out to get her but in all honesty (and there's no kind way to put it) she got owned by her supposed 'One True Love' or some crock like that.
So she's been having a pretty crappy week no doubt.
Soul wonders how Arachne came to be this way in the first place; how it was that all witches turned out more and more evil the older they grew in general really. He'd only ever known one exception to the rule and she was just a kid…which further proved his point.
He wonders if maybe they were all just raised that way. Or maybe it was a cult thing; being corrupt old hags and all.
Maybe, he surmises, the whole 'power destroys' thing is true and that the sheer pull that the strength of magic has can pull anyone over the edge into the abyss of greed and what are dubbed as 'evil' ways.
He doesn't want to think about what that means for him and his partner.
Whatever it is, Soul doesn't really blame or resent them as much as he probably should.
He can't honestly believe it's all their fault.
Unfortunately he forgets all this; his newfound wisdom, sympathy, empathy and mature understanding the moment he sees Maka bleed.
Note: Theres a reason it's so short: its ArachneSoul for petes sake. What else the hell am I supposed to do?! And you though I could right anything Pip! –sob- Anyway, I cheated, I know.
Reviews anyway? I promise I'll try and get out an actual noncrack pairing next if I get more than five. See? Not so much! I blame all of you for spoiling us -..- you should be ashamed.
