Author's Note: Thanks for all the feedback, favorites, and follows! I can't believe this story has already reached 90+ reviews, thanks so much for the support! Sorry this chapter took a bit longer to come out than normal. I needed to help with my brother moving out and I felt a bit sad knowing I wouldn't be able to talk to him as much since he was the one who encouraged me to write fanfiction in the first place.

AnimeFreakLover54- Nobody is a weapon or meister in this story and yes they'll eventually find out they went to different high schools, but I don't plan for it to play a major role in affecting the story really.

A reader- Yeah, David and Victor won't be back for a while since the hotel security took them away, but they won't be detained forever and they have other people who may just help them with their plans in the future. ;)

Chapter 11: Things Left Unsaid

Soul yawned as he lazily stroked a hand through Maka's blonde hair while she sat in his lap. It was getting close to midnight and the movie they were watching together as a group with Black Star and Tsubaki was about to come to an end. Ever since he had been discharged from the hospital, he and Maka had acknowledged they enjoyed spending time with each other, but didn't want their romance to become too much of a commitment.

Maka sighed and stretched her arms out as the movie started to begin rolling the credits.

"I'm getting sleepy; I'm going to turn in for the night." Maka murmured, standing up from Soul's lap and being careful to avoid brushing against his still healing wound.

Soul nodded his head and stood up also. "Yeah, I'm tired too. Goodnight."

Maka smiled and quickly kissed Soul goodbye before turning towards Tsubaki who seemed even drowsier than she was.

"Aw, I didn't realize it had already gotten so late; I still need to make a call." Tsubaki mumbled out dazedly, as she finally got up from leaning on Black Star and followed Maka out the door of Soul's room.

'I think it's about midafternoon back at home, it's possible I might be able to contact Angela if she isn't too busy with her studies at the moment.' Tsubaki thought to herself, as she reflected on what she still needed to do before going to bed.

Black Star frowned and stood up as he gazed around the now quiet room. "Well, that certainly didn't go as I expected it would."

Soul arched an eyebrow at him in confusion. "What do you mean? We spent the whole day together with them."

Black Star sighed and shook his head. "I thought they would be spending the night with us also! I mean it was fun in all going on that wine tasting tour today and checking out the scenery, but I don't feel like I got to spend enough time with Tsubaki!"

Soul shrugged and let out a scoff. "You're starting to get way too serious about your feelings for Tsubaki man."

Black Star growled and crossed his arms angrily. "Oh, and you aren't feeling anything for Maka at all?"

"Maka and I have already agreed we don't want our relationship to become too serious since we might not see each other after summer ends." Soul replied back easily.

"I certainly have a hard time believing that will work out with the way you two have been acting around each other lately." Black Star said with a smirk.

After brushing some popcorn off his pants, Black Star let out a sigh and gazed out Soul's window to enjoy the view of the city at night.

"It seems like people in this city never sleep sometimes." Black Star mused aloud quietly.

Soul stared at him oddly for a moment before nodding his head in agreement. "What's wrong with you?"

"I want to know who Tsubaki is calling?!" Black Star suddenly snapped out in frustration.

Soul frowned at the sudden change of topic and shrugged. "How the hell should I know? Why don't you just ask her?"

Black Star only shook his head. "It doesn't seem to be something she wants to talk about. Do you think maybe she has a boyfriend back at home she's been keeping from me?"

"I don't feel like Tsubaki is the type of person to go dating other people behind their backs." Soul reasoned calmly.

Black Star solemnly nodded his head. "It's been bugging me to know who she's been trying to call since we started dating though. She always wants to talk to him or her before going to bed, but I don't think she would cheat on me just for the fun of it either."

Soul only sighed and took the dirty popcorn bowl to the kitchen to wash it out. "Well, there's no reason to be worried then, right?"

Black Star scoffed and puffed up his chest. "Of course there's nothing to be worried about! No guy can compete with a God like me after all!"

Soul rolled his eyes and shook his head with a laugh. Black Star washed him dry out the bowl before another thought occurred to him.

"Hey, you haven't contacted anyone from home have you?" Black Star asked curiously.

Soul let out a snort and immediately shook his head. "You know I haven't. I'm glad to be away from them all for the most part, especially my parents."

Black Star only scratched his head thoughtfully. "Just leaving them a letter saying you would be gone for the summer probably made them assume you were never coming back."

Soul grinned at that. "Good, maybe if they think I'm never coming back, they won't bother me anymore about crap I don't care about."

~X~

Back in Death City:

"So, you still haven't heard anything from Soul since his graduation?" Wes's father asked him with a growl.

Wes sighed and rubbed his forehead in irritation before speaking back into his phone. "No Dad, I have the same information as you do. All I know is that he sent a letter to the house saying he would be on a trip for the summer."

"And you honestly have no idea where exactly he went?! He sent that letter nearly a month ago; you're not trying to cover up for him are you?" His father sneered out.

Wes tapped his fingers impatiently on his desk. "I really don't know where he is, but he obviously doesn't want to be found since he hasn't responded to any of our texts or calls."

"I don't care if he doesn't want to be found; he's missing out on important lessons he could have to help him get further ahead in fall semester! I know it may be difficult for you to do, but see if you can find any information about where he is and bring him back here, even if you have to use force." His father coldly snapped out before hanging up.

'How does he expect me to do that when Soul literally left no trace of where he is?' Wes thought with a scowl. Wes knew his parents had a bad habit of constantly trying to pressure Soul to do better, but now even he was beginning to see why Soul had such a strained relationship with them if this was how they truly behaved.

Wes twirled around his chair with a sigh before eventually getting up and leaving his apartment. He honestly didn't have much work to do since he was only temporarily in Death City for the summer to do some concertos before leaving again for New York in a few weeks.

'If I don't at least find some information on where Soul is; I'm going to be constantly bugged by both Mom and Dad about it for the rest of the time that I'm here.' Wes reasoned tiredly, as he walked over to Soul's apartment building in the afternoon heat.

Wes sighed and managed to put a smile on his face as he greeted the manager at the reception desk.

"Hello, how can I help you sir?" The man asked kindly.

Wes wiped a few stray beads of sweat from his face before speaking up. "I was just wondering if Soul Evans and his roommate Black Star had returned back from their trip yet."

"I'm not too sure, but I can check to see when they last paid their utility bill and other fees to maybe get an idea." He replied back, as he checked through some files on his computer before shaking his head.

"Nope, they haven't returned back yet. They still have any mail sent to them on hold and I haven't seen them around for a few weeks now." The man explained.

"Do you have any idea of where they might have gone on vacation to?" Wes continued on.

The man looked Wes up and down and narrowed his eyes. "Hmm, well even though you look like one of Soul's relatives, I wouldn't just give out private information like that about our tenants. Besides that, I honestly don't know where the two of them went off to. Black Star's car is even still parked in our lot and they paid their June and July rent ahead of time, which is unusual for them."

Wes frowned and nodded his head in understanding. "Alright, thanks for the info anyways."

The man nodded his head and went back to filing some papers as Wes left the building.

"Great, where am I supposed to look for information now?" Wes groaned out faintly under his breathe.

~X~

Maka let out a relieved sigh as she lounged by the hotel's pool under the shade of an umbrella when she was suddenly splashed with pool water by Soul.

Maka blinked in stunned silence before she started glowering at Soul in anger. "What the hell did you do that for?!"

Soul only grinned toothily before stepping out of the pool and tugging on her arm gently. "Stop wasting all your time reading and come join me in the pool!"

Maka pouted and briefly glanced down at her now soaked book before letting out a huff. "Seeing as you basically destroyed my book, I guess I don't really have a choice now do I?"

Soul nodded his head and pulled Maka into the water where he quickly started a water fight with her while Tsubaki and Black Star watched them play by the sides.

"Hey Tsubaki, watch me do a cannonball into the pool!" Black Star yelled out, as he stood up and jumped into the pool causing a huge splash.

Tsubaki smiled weakly and managed to give him a small cheer of praise that made Black Star frown and swim closer to her once he resurfaced from underwater.

"Is something bothering you Tsubaki?" Black Star asked in concern.

Tsubaki quickly shook her head. "No, I'm okay. I just feel a bit tired since I didn't get enough sleep last night." 'And I'm upset that I barely had a chance to speak to Angela again.'

Black Star's thoughts went back to his conversation with Soul last night about wondering who it was Tsubaki constantly felt a need to try to call every night or so.

"Was it that guy you were talking to last night that kept you up?" Black Star questioned in slight annoyance.

'What guy? The only person I've been trying to contact at night has been Angela, which has been basically impossible to do because international calls are so expensive and we're seven hours ahead. Black Star is only making assumptions.' Tsubaki thought with an arched eyebrow.

"What makes you think I've been trying to talk to another guy?" Tsubaki asked, trying to keep her own irritation out of her voice.

Black Star shrugged, but still remained suspicious. "I don't know; it just seems like every night lately you've been trying to contact someone and I can't help but wonder who."

Tsubaki sighed and looked away from him before her frustration began to show on her face. "Is it really that important for you to know who I'm talking to? It actually isn't any of your business if you think about it."

Black Star growled at that and stepped out of the pool and forced Tsubaki to face him by grabbing her cheeks. "What's that supposed to mean? At least tell me what's been going on with you lately!"

Tsubaki frowned and lightly pushed Black Star's hands away from her. "It's nothing for you to worry about. Now if you excuse me, I think I want to take a quick nap before getting lunch."

Maka and Soul watched as Tsubaki and Black Star started to argue a bit with each other before eventually, Tsubaki got up and walked away from the scene.

"What's going on between those two?" Maka whispered to Soul.

Soul shrugged and looked back towards Black Star who was angrily gripping his hands tightly against the borders of the pool.

"You should go make sure everything is okay with Tsubaki while I go check on Black Star." Soul suggested.

Maka nodded her head in agreement and stepped out of the pool to dry off and then quickly follow after Tsubaki.

Soul sighed and tapped Black Star on the shoulder to get his attention, but Black Star only shoved him away.

Soul scowled as his crimson red eyes darkened in annoyance before he quickly calmed down. "Dude, don't take your anger out on me! What exactly just happened back there?"

Black Star sighed and grumbled some curses under his breathe. "I was only asking her who she had been trying to talk to last night and she just blew me off saying it was none of business; I bet she really was talking to her boyfriend back at home!"

"You have no proof that she was. Maybe it was something personal she just didn't feel like talking to you about yet. You guys have only been dating for like 3 weeks now; she's not going to immediately tell you all of her business in such a short amount of time." Soul pointed out.

Black Star leaned his head back against the pool's edge, but eventually looked back towards Soul and nodded his head in understanding.

"Fuck man, I really screwed things up by pressuring her for questions like that, but it was bugging me so much I had to ask." Black Star grumbled out.

Soul shrugged. "I told you not to let your emotions get in the way."

Black Star narrowed his eyes at Soul and scoffed. "You can't honestly tell me you haven't wondered about any past boyfriends Maka has had or if she even is still in a relationship."

When Soul didn't reply back immediately, Black Star started to smirk. "Ha, can't come up with a lie can you? You're telling me not to get too emotionally invested in Tsubaki when you're doing the same exact thing with Maka whether you want to admit it or not."

Soul sighed and looked away, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Whatever man, the point is, you shouldn't be trying to ask her about her personal life so early in your relationship. She'll let you know more about herself when she's ready to."

"We don't have much time with the way summer is going by. We only have a few days left in June after all." Black Star mused aloud.

~X~

"Tsubaki, what happened back there at the pool with you and Black Star?" Maka asked, once they were far enough away from the pool to be heard.

Tsubaki sighed and turned around to face Maka. "He kept bugging me about calling Angela; I just got tired of it, so I got up before I let my anger really get to me."

Maka frowned and arched an eyebrow. "Did Black Star know you were trying to call Angela though?"

Tsubaki shook her head. "No, I just didn't feel comfortable telling him about her yet because then it might lead to me having to mention Mifune."

"So that's why he was jumping to conclusions then and you were avoiding the question." Maka said with a sigh, as she gazed towards the beach.

"I can understand why he was getting suspicious though, I've been trying to call the agency every night, but I just can't reach them at a good time with the time zone differences and the fact that the calls have to be so short that I can barely say much to Angela before I have to hang up." Tsubaki explained.

"Try not to let this relationship get too serious Tsubaki; we might not see these guys after the summer ends after all." Maka stated.

Tsubaki sighed and gazed down glossy blue fingernails. "Oh Maka, you know that's easier said than done. It's hard to not get more and more feelings for him since we've been spending so much time together. I just hate how he assumed I was talking to another guy."

"The only way to clear things up would be for you to explain yourself to him." Maka suggested.

Tsubaki nodded her head and looked back up at Maka with a smile. "You haven't told Soul about Kid have you?"

Maka's eyes widened as she immediately shook her head. "No way, that would only complicate matters. Soul and I promised each other we wouldn't let our feelings get too strong."

Tsubaki arched an eyebrow at her. "And how is that working out for you two?"

Maka blushed and twiddled her fingers idly. "Err not very well to be honest; I guess things are moving faster between us than I imagined it would."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of Maka, I think we should head back now and clear things up with them though before we really move forward in our relationships." Tsubaki said, already heading back towards the pool area.

Maka quickly grabbed Tsubaki by the arm before she could walk any further. "Wait, does that mean you're going to tell Black Star about Angela and Mifune then?"

Tsubaki smiled and shook her head. "Not yet, it's going to take me awhile to be open about my life back at home. I'm sure you feel the same way about you and Soul."

Maka nodded her head and let out a sigh of relief. 'I'm glad Tsubaki isn't telling Black Star the full truth yet. Even though I really like Soul, I don't think telling him about my past romances is necessary at the moment.'

~X~

Wes frowned as he walked around Death City's Mall in search of anybody he could recognize as one of Soul's friends or even someone who might have attended South Valley High like he did.

'This is getting me nowhere; I'm basically just walking around in circles now. I'm pretty sure anyone Soul knew has already gone on vacation somewhere like he did for the summer or I just don't know them.' Wes thought with a sigh.

Wes was about to just turn around and leave the mall and try another spot he knew Soul liked to go to when he heard a familiar voice.

"Wes, is that you? What are you doing here?!" Blair squealed out excitedly as she rushed up to him and gave him a hug.

Wes frowned and pushed Blair off of him. "I don't have time to deal with you right now. I have things I need to take care of."

Blair pouted as her golden eyes seemed to shimmer with tears. "Oh, don't be that way Wes! Maybe I can help you get your stuff done faster."

Wes groaned and shook his head. "You've already caused enough problems for me and my brother in the past."

As Wes finished his sentence, he tried to walk away as fast as possible from Blair, but she quickly reached out and gripped him by the arm tightly.

"If this is about Soul, then there's no reason to be worried about him seeing us together. I'm not in a relationship with him anymore, remember?" She pouted out cutely.

Wes scoffed in aggravation and pulled his arm out of her grip. "That's because you cheated on him! Why would you hurt him like that by kissing me in front of him?!"

Blair cocked her head in confusion before smirking. "Well, why did you respond back to my kiss if you didn't enjoy it or want me?"

Wes blushed slightly and scowled. "That was a mistake and you know it. Now, please leave me alone."

Blair shook her head and followed Wes out the doors of the mall. "But I can help you though! Just tell me what's going on."

Wes gritted his teeth in annoyance as he realized Blair was going to continue to pester him until he spoke up.

"Fine, if it will get you to leave me alone faster; I need to get an idea of where Soul and Black Star went for the summer." Wes hissed out.

Blair blinked and tapped a finger against her cheek in thought. "Hmm, now that you mention it, I haven't seen those two around since graduation day."

"Oh, but don't worry! I know some people I can call to see if they know where they are." Blair stated excitedly, as she pulled out her cellphone and made a few calls.

Wes watched her wearily; unsure if it was good idea to even tell her in the first place that Soul had disappeared off somewhere.

"Alright, thanks anyways." Blair pouted out with a sigh as she returned her phone back to her pocket.

"You didn't find out anything?" Wes asked.

Blair huffed and nodded her head. "Guess it won't be as easy as I thought it would be. Have you tried going to their apartment?"

Wes nodded his head. "I just came back from there. The manager said he didn't know where they went."

Blair grinned and pushed a purple lock away from her face. "Oh did he? Maybe he'll change his mind on saying he didn't know anything when I talk to him."

Wes groaned and shook his head. "You don't need to do that."

"Come on, you know you need my help. I've got on the perfect attire to lure him in." Blair mused out cheerily.

Wes took a quick sweeping glance at Blair's outfit which was only a simple light gray tank top with some denim short shorts.

'I doubt this plan is going to work, but it's not like she will leave me alone unless I try her idea out.' Wes mused to himself.

"Alright, let's go and get this over with." Wes grumbled out while Blair happily followed behind him.

Once they were back at Soul's apartment, Blair went in and greeted the manager first with Wes coming in after her.

"Hello, how can I help you, mam?" The manager asked Blair.

Blair smirked and looked the manager up and down. "I need you to let me in to Soul Evan's and Black Star's apartment room.

The manager arched an eyebrow at her. "And why exactly would I do that?"

Blair grinned and leaned in even more, allowing the manager to get a good view at her breasts as she whispered something in his ear that caused his face to heat up and for him to grin.

The manager quickly glanced around the lobby to make sure nobody important was watching him before sighing and handing her the master key that could open all doors in the apartment.

"You better keep your end of the deal and return that key as soon as you come back down here." He whispered to her, as he handed her the key before returning back to work.

"What did you tell that guy?" Wes asked in confusion.

Blair only smiled mischievously and shook her head. "Nothing you need to worry about. I have the key, so let's head up to their room now."

Wes frowned and nodded his head as the two went up to Soul's room and opened the door. Wes was slightly surprised to see the apartment looked relatively clean. All of the dishes in the sink had been cleaned and there were no dirty clothes or trash just lying around.

"It seems like they've been gone for a while; this place is kind of dirty." Blair mused out, as she wiped a finger against the kitchen counter before going to open the window to let in some light.

"Don't worry about the dust, I need to find some clue as the where Soul is right now." Wes stated, as he walked over to Soul's room.

Wes looked around and took notice of Soul's bare closet and semi half-made bed. 'There has to be something in here that can give me some answers.'

"Why not check his computer? I'm sure you'll find something on there." Blair asked from behind him.

Wes nodded his head and sat down at Soul's desk and booted up his computer. After waiting a few seconds, the username screen popped up to type in the password.

"Shoot, I have no idea what his password would be. Maybe he wrote it down somewhere." Wes thought to himself, before pausing in his search. 'Do I really want to stoop this low into my own brother's personal life?'

Unfortunately, before Wes could announce he changed his mind in his search for Soul, Blair had walked up to the computer and typed something in.

"What are you doing?" Wes asked.

Blair blinked and pointed back to the computer. "I'm typing in the password silly. I'm pretty sure Soul hasn't changed it yet from the brief time that we dated. He never particularly made hard passwords either, its Eater2014 still apparently."

"Why would he tell you his password?" Wes asked aloud in confusion.

Blair grinned and shook her head. "Oh, he didn't. I found it one day while going through his notebooks and stuff at school."

Wes frowned and glared at Blair who only ignored it and started to look at the history tabs left on Soul's internet browsers.

"Hmm, he's been looking up a lot of places in Spain. He even went to this travel website and might have booked with them." Blair stated in interest.

Wes glanced over at the computer and focused on the particular page she was on. It contained a list of the best attractions to go to in Barcelona and hotels in the area with the Hotel Arts Barcelona highlighted as the page he clicked on."

"Oh, he went to Spain and never told anyone! He could have asked me to be his travel buddy instead of Black Star." Blair huffed out.

'How the heck did Soul afford going to Spain? Though I guess he probably used his credit cards and took advantage of the deals available with different packages.' Wes thought to himself.

"So what are you going to do now Wes? It's not like you can reach Soul now." Blair asked, interrupting his thoughts.

Wes could only nod his head. "I could just keep my mouth shut and not let our parents know he went off to a different country, but then they'll just continue to pester me about it for the rest of the summer. If he can go off on vacation for the summer, then I can also; maybe I'll even pay him a surprise visit."

Blair's eyes widened in excitement as she gleefully clapped her hands together. "You're going to go to Barcelona?! Take me with you!"

Wes frowned and shook his head. "That's a horrible idea. Soul doesn't want to see you."

Blair scoffed and narrowed her eyes in anger. "He doesn't want to see you either. Besides, you owe me for getting you this far! You still wouldn't even know where he is if it weren't for me."

Wes sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm not even going to Barcelona for a long time. Today is June 26th and I would plan to be back by at least around July 4th. The only real reason I want to go is too see if I can clear the air with him before I have to leave again, and that won't happen if you come with me."

Blair pouted and shook her head. "I promise I won't get in your way! I'll even split the costs with you on the flight and hotel fare."

Wes scoffed as he briefly glanced back at the computer screen before turning back to Blair. "We're going to need to at least stay at a different hotel from them."

Blair smiled her usual Cheshire grin and nodded her head. "That's fine by me."
