Chapter 11

Shit

After the professor announcement class went by fairly fast and my brain was struggling with the fact of me and having to fight again… and having to do it with a new partner. I mean I haven't fought in years, and I had only every used Soul as a partner… I've only ever worked with a scythe; I don't even know what kind of weapon Tadashi is.

It's okay, I mean, I'll just study up if Tadashi is a different weapon then what I am use too. I'm still pretty flexible and I still have a good amount of strength if I am able Maka-chop Blackstar around.

.UHHHHH!

WHO AM I KIDDING! I don't even know if I can fly anymore! and I haven't fought in four years ever since-A chill ran through my body- my body slumped for a moment, don't think about it Maka, it was so long ago, push that memory back, push it back. I sighed my eyes lifted to the clock to see the time; after this class I get to go home and I really wanted to go home

~ding dong dead dong~

Class had ended much to my hope; thank goodness I get to go home… But then we have to meet with Blackstar and Tsubaki because they have something they want to say. I frowned.

"Albarn." My head spin around to make eye contact with a man who stood half a foot taller than me, Tadashi Yu. "Are you available." He said I glanced quickly at the time and nodded my head. I had a few minutes to kill before Soul can to pick me up.

"I wanted to see if our wavelengths matched." I bit my lip for a moment, unsure of what the outcome could be, but I nodded my head once again. There isn't any harm in trying.

He gave a quick smile and in a flash, he jumped up and turned into a scythe. My eyes widened in shock, and a smile touched my lips. My hand craved the feel of a weapon in my hand. I caught him and spun him around flawlessly then slamming the bottom of the pole onto the floor.

I closed my eyes in an attempt to see his soul, but there was nothing. Damn.

A few moments passed and everything felt fine so I gave a breath out and Tadashi changed back.

"Well it looks like we match but there is some shakiness there that we will have to work on." He said and I nodded once again. He eyed me for a few moments "Do you ever talk?" he asked with a small chuckle and gave warm smile.

Wow, I didn't know he could smile like that…. wait is he talking to me? I can talk, see im talking right now!...Oh I'm talking in my head.

"Yes I do." I said laughing. "I didn't realize I wasn't talking."

He stood quite for a moment, almost as if someone had shocked him. "Haha yea." He laughed, "I was starting to think you didn't like me or something." He said scratching the back of his head.

I waved my hand in front of my face "No, No you seem really funny. And I am actually impressed that you a scythe! There aren't a lot of scythes anymore. "I said with some glee. He just laughed

"You don't see a lot of miesters who has made a death scythe." I laughed, "Yea I guess not." He held out a hand to start a handshake "Tadashi Yu." He said. I stuck out my hand to complete his handshake. "Maka Albarn" There was a moment of silence.

"Alright, we can start next week if you want." "Sure." Some more silence, just blue eyes staring at green. Honestly what is he doing?

"I guess I'll go."

"You know Yu, if you want to leave, it would help if you were to let go of my hand."

He gave a small gasped and turned red, "I'm s-sorry." I snorted, "It's okay. "

"OH MY GOSH IT SOUL EATER EVENS!"

Crap.

"Evens? Like as in your partner?" He asked I frowned "Ex partners." "Ex-?" I started to pick up my stuff and gave Yu a smile. "I'll see you later." In addition, I ran out, as he stood silent.

While making my way to the front of the school I could hear fangirls ear piercing screams. I cringed.

Soul was there leaning against his bike waiting for me, his bike looking shiny and new. His sharped tooth smile appeared as he saw me. "About time bookworm." "Oh shut up."

Him and I began a small casual conversation in till small whispers caught my ear.

"There partners again?" "Didn't he leave her?" "No I heard she left him" "Why would she leave him? " "Yea, she looks hot not but before~" I rolled my eyes, I didn't feel like fighting with people today.

"Get on Bookworm; everyone is already at the apartment."

"Don't make Maka-chop you Soul." I said while getting on. Where do I put my hand? Shit, I haven't ridden with Soul in a long time.

My hands decided to go on his shoulders as my butt lifted a bit from the seat a bit.

He started the bike and a smile spread eve farther. "I missed you." He whispered to his bike I laughed, "Uncool Soul." "Shut up."

The ride felt familiar and comforting it made me feel as if we were teenagers once again. Like nothing bad happened, as if we were still partners going on our next Kishen hunt, as if we were going home and see Crona. My arms made his way to his waist and we made sarcastic comments to each other.

It felt like I was five years younger.

We pulled up to our apartment and Emma was there waiting for Soul. Her eyes narrowed at me and she glanced down to see my arms around Soul.

"Welcome back." She said with a smile. directing more towards Soul, "Hey." He said giving her a peck on the lips. Ew.

I walked ahead of them as they walked behind me, Emma clinging onto Souls arm. I unlocked the door to see five people sitting down patiently.

"Hey guys." I smiled. They all gave there usual greeting as I walked to my room to put away my stuff and change out of my cloths. I slipped on a white long that hugged my hips and showed my shoulders and a pair of black sweats.

…Don't judge me, I'm at my own house and I'm tired.

Going back out there wasn't much talking, the atmosphere seemed odd. All the spots where taken by them so I pulled out a chair to sat.

The atmosphere thickened as I looked around, Kid was reading a book, Liz was painting her nails but kept messing up, Patty was just looking around, Soul and Emma waited for someone to say something. Blackstar stood quiet in concentration and Tsubaki kept glancing at each him unsure and worried.

"What did you guys wanna say?" Soul blurted with a bit of annoyance.

"Soul! Don't be rude let them take their time." I yelled.

"I can hear yea don't nag."

"Nag!?"

"Yes women!"

"MAKA-CHOP!"

"OWW! DAMN-IT" Soul rubbed his head in pain. Emma narrowed her eyes in anger but then soon tended to Souls pride and new dent.

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere lightened a bit.

When it died down Blackstar and Tsubaki finally talked.

"YEESS! THE ALMIGHT GOD IS READY TO SPEACK!" Tsuabki nodded.

"W-We wanted too um…" She trailed off "it's okay Tsubaki. "Blackstar said with concern. I raised an eyebrow by his tone. Tsubaki nodded after looking at her mister.

"We wanted to… tell you guys about what happened to us these past five years."
