Chapter 10

{Soul's P.O.V.}

My head snapped up.

I looked around.

'What was that?'

I looked back at my mother;

"Mom, did you hear something?"

I kept looking back and forth,

Looking to the window;

Then back at my mother.

My gaze met the window.

'I know, I heard something.'

My eyes narrowed.

Or someone.

"Hm? No I didn't hear anythi-"

A terrible scream filled the night sky.

'Maka.'

'That was Maka!'

I was on my feet before my mother could have the chance to ask,

'What was that.'

"Soul!"

My mother gave me a knowing look.

She knew.

She knew that was Maka.

My jaw tightened.

'That was Maka.'

I looked at my mom.

"I'm sorry mom; But I have to-oph-!"

She got me into yet another bear hug.

I watched as my mother began to cry again,

"I know Soul-I know, jus-just be careful out there."

I hugged her back, nodding.

Soon I wiggled my way out of her massive hug attack,

And darted towards the door.

My mother slowly following behind.

As we reached the door my mother hugged me once more.

"Please be careful Soul- and remember what I said."

I nodded and ran out;

Running down the giant driveway yelling back towards my mother.

"I will!" I called over.

"An-And don't worry-! I wont!"

I sprinted down the road.

One thing on my mind.

'Get Maka back.'

{Maka's P.O.V.}

'Power.'

'What incredible power.'

I watched as Neeko's soul grew bigger,

And bigger.

'It's-It's expanding?!'

'I needed help.'

'And fast.'

I tried contacting the only person I could.

'Soul.'

[ Soul!-Soul please! I-I need you!]

I waited for his response.

But it never came.

My heart sank.

'Had I really hurt him that bad-?'

'So bad, he'd ignore my plea for hel-'

I was cut off by a voice.

"Maka~"

My head snapped over to the direction of a strange voice.

But I was only met with a red eyed boy.

Who was clearlyno longer Neeko.

"I was wondering when you'd remember about me."

I gave a confused glance.

'Who was that talking?'

It clearly wasn't Neeko's voice.

'But-'

'Who's was it?'

Suddenly he growled at me.

"Maka! I'm talking to you! Answer me!" He roared.

My eyes widened.

I could hear him.

Neeko.

'His original voice-'

'It was just underneath the deeper one.'

"Neeko! You have to fight it! I know your still in there!"

'I had to fight him off-'

'With, or without Soul.'

Suddenly his anger filled face dropped,

While his left eye, began to turn purple.

Then blue purple.

Till lastly,

It turned blue.

"M-Maka?" He said in a worry filled voice.

My heart fluttered.

'He's still in there.'

My eyes narrowed.

'Somewhere.'

"Neeko you have to fi-"

A white flash and the sound of metal hitting metal cut me off.

'S-Soul?!'

There in front of me was my kneeling partner,

Soul Eater Evans.

One arm in scythe mode;

The other clenched into a fist.

"S-Soul?"

'Was that really Soul?'

Said boy barely looked back at me.

One glaring red eye,

Meeting a concerned green one.

'It was Soul!'

A harsh growl, broke Soul's gaze from mine.

We both looked over to see a smirking Neeko.

His left eye no longer blue;

But red.

A gust of air made me look back to Soul's spot on the floor,

Which was no longer being occupied by my shark toothed partner.

My head snapped back in Neeko's direction.

The clash of metal, catching my attention.

Neeko and Soul were fighting.

I flinched as both scythes continued to clash, and clang, one another.

I looked at my infuriated partner as he continued to attack Neeko.

His glaring red eyes, never once leaving his target.

'Soul.'

{Normal P.O.V.}

Soul jumped, and dodged the blue blade, once more.

Oh how badly he wanted to glance, at his meister.

To make sure she was okay.

But he couldn't.

He had to focus.

And kill Neeko.

Soul being a quick mover, quickly caught Neeko off guard, and tripped him.

Making said blue death scythe, fall backwards.

He then quickly jumped on him, raising one red scythe arm.

Getting ready for the kill.

His shark like teeth gridded against one another.

'This-This is what you get for stealing the love of my life!'

'You filthy piece of cra-!'

His thoughts were cut short when his green eyed meister screamed.

Sending his vision in her direction.

"Soul! No! Neeko, he's-he's still in there somewhere! We have to get him out!"

The death scythe looked back at his meister.

Glaring at her.

His head soon snapped back to look at a smug looking Neeko.

"I willend you." He whispered before jumping off;

And landing back and towards his meister.

"What are we going to do?" Soul said.

Not daring to lose contact with his target.

Maka looked to Soul,

Then back, to Neeko.

She had formed a plan earlier.

But was unable to do it without her weapon partner.

With the corner of her eye, she glanced at Soul once more.

Then back to their target.

But now-

Now she could do it.

"Were going to break his outer soul."

Soul gaped and looked at her.

She quickly returned the gaze,

Knowing to him,

She must've sounded crazy.

"I thought about it earlier, the way Ragnarok can control Crona's soul, were going to do the same, and control Neeko's."

Soul smirked.

Already, he was liking this plan.

'At least I can over power him, someway.'

Soul looked towards his meister a last time, before saying,

"Lets do this."

He raised his outstretched hand,

Waiting for his, slightly smiling meister to give him the 'Okay'.

She gripped his hand.

Missing said contact.

'I'll make it up to you, Soul.'

She thought to herself.

'I promise.'
