Chapter 11

{Demon Neeko's P.O.V.}

"Hmph."

I glared at my opponents.

'That, girl.'

'She was smart-'

'Only so many technicians, new of the outer soul wavelength.'

I stepped closer.

Only to have the white haired weapon growl towards me.

I smirked, while changing my arm back into it's original human form.

My smirk soon dropped as it soon came to realization;

'He cared about her.'

'Loved her.'

'And was willing to die for her.'

'I wouldn't be able to get a foot near her, without shark boy coming after me.'

I clenched, and unclenched my fists.

Trying to form a plan of my own.

'I can't let them get to my outer soul.'

'I've waited to long, to get where I am now.'

My eyes widened.

Then it hit me.

'I could eat the souls of the humans.'

My eyes narrowed.

Watching my enemy closely.

'But first-'

'I needed to escape.'

'And fast.'

I narrowed my eyes.

Watching both boy,

And girl closely.

Quickly before both meister or weapon had the time to react;

I jumped back,

Using what little strength I could steal from Neeko's soul.

I smirked once I heard it;

Him screaming.

I could hear him from within.

I looked down at my chest.

~ Inside Neeko's Soul ~

"Hey! Let me out!" I screamed.

My lungs were burning;

But I couldn't give up.

My eyebrows furrowed.

'No, not yet.'

'I can't.'

"Let. Me. Out!"

I continued hitting the souls wall with my fists;

Hoping, that in someway,

I could break out.

But to no avail.

'I-I have to get to Maka!'

Then it hit me,

'Maka!'

'She-She's still out there!'

I cringed.

'With him.'

I called the demon, him.

For,

I never really thought of the demon being a person;

But a demon.

I looked up.

Determination written all over my face.

'For Maka.'

I reminded myself.

'For Maka.'

I backed up a bit, preparing my body for pain.

'For Maka.'

I knew trying to break through the outer soul would cause pain to my body;

And right now,

I was just hoping the pain would be at a minimum level.

'For Maka.'

I ran with as much speed as I could gather up.

As the right side of my body hit the soul's wall,

I screamed in pain.

The soul's wall had shocked my entire body.

"Fo-For Maka." I reminded myself.

The wall had sent shivers, and chills, up and down my spine.

I stood and backed up once again,

Breathing out all of the pain.

"For Maka!"

[ Several Try's Later ]

"UGH!"

It was several try's later,

Till I finally I collapsed down.

My whole right side was numb;

While my left side fell limp.

I had tried using my left side,

After about the fifth time using my right.

Breathing heavily;

I soon began to realize, my body was giving out.

'If this keeps up-'

I huffed.

'I'll die, before I even get out.'

I glared at the ground;

Slamming a fist down.

'But I have to keep fighting!'

[ Evil Neeko ]

I hit my chest a view times;

Mimicking a gorilla.

While whispering,

"Quiet you, or I'll kill your friends."

I smirked towards the ending of my sentence,

Hearing him scream,

And struggle more to get out.

But my smirk soon dropped as I realized;

His devotion and motivation to get out, might succeed.

'He might actually be able to break the outer soul-'

I looked towards the green eyed meister, and her weapon partner.

'With, or without the demon angels help.'

Indeed it was the demon angel.

Kami Albarn.

'Though I'm surprised, she hasn't aged a bit since our last battle.'

My eyes narrowed.

'Twenty years ago.'

"Demon-!" She screamed, while she thrusting a finger in my direction.

'Hm, that voice sounds familiar.'

'But how familiar?'

"Give back Neeko! Or I'll get him back myself!"

I soon gave up on figuring out said familiar voice;

And grinned.

'A battle huh?'

'Why-'

'I haven't had one of those in centuries.'

My grin soon turned to a glare.

It's all Spenser's fault.

I growled as I remembered my old host.

'He trapped me into his owns son's body.'

'Neeko's body.'

I grinned once more.

'Fool.'

'Not even he knew.'

'What power, this mere child held within him.'

'He was strong.'

'Oh how he was strong.'

'And once he eats the souls of these wretched humans-'

A wicked grin appeared on my face as I finished my thought;

'He'll be even stronger then Lord Death!'

"If it's a battle you want, then you'll have to wait girly."

I leaped back.

"We can battle once Neeko here, has eaten all the human residents, of Death City."

I smirked;

Waiting for their reaction.

"Maka-!"

"Right!"

I watched as both weapon and meister, got into battle formation.

"Were not gonna let you leave!" Came the anger filled response of a red death scythe.

His scythe blade flashed.

Showing an angry looking white haired boy.

My grin just seemed to grow, as I noticed his meister grip the handle of her scythe.

"Heh, someone seems scared; Are you scared girl? Well you should be-"

I stopped.

Then it hit me.

Those glaring green eyes,

Resembled someone from my past.

An enemy.

I growled as I continued;

"I beat you once; And I'll do it again, Kami!"

{Maka's P.O.V.}

My eyes widened.

'K-Kami?'

'Tha-That's my mama's name!'

'How does he know mama's name?!'

"How do you know my mother?!"

My grip tightened on Soul's staff.

I watched as Neeko's eyes widened.

"Mother?" He said.

He sounded shocked.

'But why?'

Suddenly he chuckled.

"Ah I get it-"

His evil grin grew, as well as the size of his eyes.

"Your just trying to trick me!"

I gave a confused look, as he continued.

"Well it's not going to work Kami! Though I am quite curious, on how you managed to maintain the same look after all these years; And your partner you've finally gotten rid of that red haired weirdo aye?"

I gasped.

'My mother-'

'An-And my father fought this demon before?'

'But-But how?'

'When?'

"Well then, I guess I will stay for one battle Kami; Seeing as how it'll be your last."

He spoke with a horrific grin spread across his face.

[ Maka-Maka you need to calm down! ]

[ I can feel your soul griping my mine. ]

Soul spoke through our soul wavelength.

[ I-I can't Soul! He-He faced my mother-! ]

[ And not even she, could beat him! ]

[ You don't know that! ]

I heard him yell.

[ And you won't if you don't focus! ]

Mentally,

I was hyperventilating.

I watched in horror, as Neeko's demon in a flash began to charge at me.

Everything felt like slow motion.

'Like, a movie almost.'

My mind continued to be stuck on the fact that;

'My mother, faced this demon-'

'And didn't win.'

I could hear Soul screaming my name.

Begging for me to jump, dodge, or move;

But I couldn't move.

I kept thinking about my mother.

And I couldn't help, but wonder if she had froze or not.

My eyes stayed wide, and alert.

While my body was limp, and numb.

I watched as the demon was merely, centimeters away;

Raising his now transformed scythe arm.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"

"MAKA!"

SLING!

'Mama, I'm-I'm so sorry.'
