Summary (as promised in the other summary ^^) : Maka Albarn ventured deep into the Underworld in order to find her mother, Kami. On the way, she unluckily encounters a shinigami named Daru. He and her make a deal that if she can get him some souls then he will give her her mother. Maka agrees and her first mission was to enrol into Shibusen, school for Meisters and Weapons. Maka cautiously keeps her distance from everyone at the academy but especially her partner/weapon Soul Eater Evans. What happens when she starts making friends? And what will happen when they start opening up her heart? The answers' simple. Nothing but darkness awaits.

Chapter 12

I did and I can't

"I don't have time to think about him!"

Maka furiously slashed her scythe, cutting down branches and trees.

"So what if he dies? Its not my fuckin problem!"

In one mighty swing, a massive tree came falling down. Maka sighed and sat down on its stump.

"Why am I so worked up about this?" she thought, looking around at the vandalised part of the forest which was entirely her doing.

The sun was setting and it was getting dark.

She looked at the sky. "Its… BlackScythe's time…"

Soul heard the door open.

"She's back…"

He got up and walked outside. Maka was at the fridge, looking for food.

"Oi Maka."

She didn't respond so Soul pulled her around by the shoulder.

"Yeeeeees?"

Blood was coming down, dripping from her head. Her eyes were a dark green and blood stains all over her.

Soul staggered back. "M-Maka..?"

"Yeeeeeeees?" she repeated, coming closer. Her bangs were drenched in red and a creepy grin, on her face.

Soul fell back and sat there staring at her, wide – eyed.

She crept up to him and pushed him down, holding a knife against his neck.

Blood dripped onto his face.

"Come die with me, Soul…"

"NO!"

The tables turned and 'she' was on the ground while Soul was choking her with both hands.

"S-Soul…"

Soul blinked.

"L-Let g-go… I-I… I can't b-breathe…"

Shocked of what he had done, Soul immediately backed away.

Maka was sitting opposite him, coughing and sucking in huge amounts of air.

"Sorry…" said Soul before shutting himself up inside his room again.

"What is happening to him..?" thought Maka, changing into BlackScythe. She felt her neck. "I could still feel his hands around them…"

She took off her hair ties. "And his eyes… Was it fear I saw in his eyes..?"

Maka walked quietly to Soul's room and peeked through the door. His room was dark and Soul lay on the bed, asleep.

Maka pulled over her hood and went back to her room, closing the door behind her. She opened the window and jumped out.

"Where would I find them..?" thought Maka. She stopped running and had a moment to think. "Where would they even be?"

Suddenly Maka was choked from behind. "Oh my DEATH I am sick of being choked!" she thought, annoyed. Maka grabbed the keychain in her pocket and as she got it out, it turned into a normal scythe. She used the bottom of her scythe to hit her attacker and managed to get a few metres away from them.

"Who are you?" Maka said, adjusting her bandana around her mouth while the attacker was recovering from the impact of the attack.

"Y-You… You killed Ox!"

"Eh? So you did know. I thought no one noticed." Replied Maka. "But really, who are you?"

"You don't need to know! Thunder, Fire, transform!"

"Ok!" said two synched voices of little children.

"I think I have a feeling who you are." Said Maka coolly.

"Don't fuck with me!" Kirikou Rung yelled.

He tried to punch Maka with the huge gauntlets on his hands but she dodged them all.

"I saw you kill Ox! You think we haven't noticed?"

"We. So you all knew and are planning to ambush me right?"

Maka jumped onto one of his gauntlets and bounced into the air then landed behind him.

"I am not that naïve y'know." Chuckled Maka.

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

"You can try!" she said playfully.

Kirikou blew a strike at her but she dodged and disappeared. Maka reappeared next to him.

"Too slow."

She swang her scythe and it stabbed through him. She looked down at his gauntlets.

"You two are still alive…" She sighed. "I'm going to have nightmares killing kids…"

Maka touched the two gauntlets.

"W-What are you d-doing…?"

Maka looked at him right in the eyes. She shot down her soul wavelength and the gauntlets screamed.

Kirikou and two other children fell to the ground in a bloody heap. They soon disappeared, leaving three glowing souls.

"There's more… I know you're there."

"YAHHH!"

Maka quickly disappeared.

"Hi Kim Diehl." She said, appearing in front of the pink haired girl.

Kim swiped at Maka with Harvar in Spear form. She had tears in her eyes.

"YOU KILLED OX! HOW COULD YOU? ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN?"

"Get a hold of yourself Kim!" said Harvar.

"Shut up Harvar! We gotta kill this stupid bitch!" exclaimed Kim angrily through tears.

She attempted to pierce Maka but instead, Maka punched Kim's stomach, sending her soul wavelength.

Kim choked out blood and staggered back. Maka knocked Harvar out of her hands and shot another dose of her wavelength through Harvar forcing him to turn back into human.

Maka walked over to Harvar and brought down her scythe swiftly.

"Bye Harvar."

Maka turned to Kim. "There's two more…"

Kim's eyes widened and she started trembling.

"J-Jackie!"

Jacqueline came out of nowhere and turned into a lantern sort of weapon.

Kim pointed it at Maka.

"Shit."

Fire shot out from it.

"W-We got her…"

"No. I'm afraid you haven't."

Kim gasped in disbelief as the fire cleared away and Maka seemed fine.

"N-No way…"

Jacqueline turned back into human to help Kim up.

"Tsk, tsk. Shouldn't have done that."

Maka slashed her to one side and she disappeared leaving her glowing soul.

"J-Jacqueline…"

Kim fell back, trembling and crying.

"Bye Kim."

She brought up her scythe. Maka tried swinging it down but she couldn't.

"What the hell am I doing..? Why can't I strike..?"

"MAKA!"

"Oh my fuckin DEATH! Must he always..!"

"Kid..."

"Stop it!"

"Don't fuckin interfere you you goddamn shinigami!"

Maka sent a slash of her wavelength through her scythe and it hit Kid, smashing him against a tree.

Maka turned back to Kim.

"W-Who are you..?" she whispered shakily through her tears.

Maka sighed and pulled down her bandana.

Kim quietly gasped. "M-Maka..?"

"I'm sorry."

She brought down her scythe as it pierced Kim through the chest.

Tears dropped from her eyes.

"M-Maka… W-Why..?"

Kim disappeared, her soul taking her place.

Maka put her bandana back on.

"Because I have to."

She gathered all the souls and glanced at Kid who was unconscious after being knocked out.

"Stupid shinigami…"
