Hi, here is chapter 14. Have fun with reading.
Please review :)
Maka wa Maid-sama!
Chapter 14: The Truth- Kawaii and Kowai
"What are you doing here?" Maka asked.
Spirit, Asura and Soul were staring at the scythe meister maid. The other people also were silent. They watched the shocked scythe meister getting even more shocked and angrier. Just one person didn't notice the silence: Mosquito, he danced on top of a table with two glasses of beer in his hands. He was kind of... drunken. Asura's scarf wrapped around the small man and threw him into the next corner. With a 'thud' Mosquito landed on the ground, he still held the glasses, Mosquito groaned.
Suddenly, the people stopped starring, they continued their conversations which Maka had cut off so suddenly.
"Okay, what is that here?" Maka asked, leaning her hands on her hips.
"Uhm...er..." Asura stuttered. "Well...funny st-"
"Stop stuttering! What are you and you and you doing here!?" Maka yelled, pointing at Spirit, Soul and then at Asura.
"Well, Maka..." Spirit muttered.
Asura and Sirit stood up and yelled at the same time. "We could ask you the same!" they shouted. Suddenly, Spirit turned his head to the Kishin. "You know her?" he asked in shock.
"Uhm... no..."Asura lied.
Soul rolled his eyes and grabbed the Kishin's collar in anger. "Don't lie! You just said that she belongs to you, you freak!" he snapped. Asura glared at the scythe boy. He growled and gritted his teeth.
"What?!" Spirit asked in shock.
"Wha..." Maka's jaw dropped. "Did you..." she wasn't even able to end her sentence, she has been cut off by the angry Kishin and the arguing sccythe boy.
"Shut up!" the Kishin yelled. "You're just jealous," Asura hissed.
"I'm not jealous! And how come you know my partner!?" Soul asked.
Spirit interrupted them again. He wanted to know what Soul meant with 'belong to the Kishin'. Did the Kishin molest or tease his daughter? He had to find out. "I will repeat it. What?!"
"Your partner? She deserves someone better than you!"Asura smirked in a sinister way.
"Why you..." Soul growled in anger.
"I won't say it again!" Spirit interrupted again. "WHAT?!"
Maka turned her hands into fists and took a deep deep breath and...
"Shut the hell up!" she screamed, causing Asura, Soul and Spirit to jump. "What is going on here? First the Kishin appeared and made me to his personal maid, then suddenly the chainsaw came and started teasing all maids, after that Free also appeared. Then I saw Eruka, and now I'm down here and what do I see? All of our enemies! What the hell is this?!" Maka yelled at the top of her lungs. She waved with her hands while she told them about her meetings with the Kishin, chainsaw and the werewolf man. Maka shook her head in disbelief.
"We have to inform Lord Death about this!" Maka said. "He has to know!"
"Well..." Soul stuttered.
"What? We have to! This chaos has to stop! We have go to the Shinigami and tell him everything!" Maka said.
Eruka Frog just walked past them. She carried a plate with a cake to a costumer. "Then you can do this right now," she said.
"What did she mean?" Maka asked confused.
"Ahaha..." Spirit coughed and laughed in a fake way. "Well..the ShinigaMIII-" he almost screamed as Maka grabbed his collar and pulled him closer. Maka glared at him, her eyes dug into his mind and let Spirit shiver.
"Where is the Shinigami?!" Maka hissed.
"Table six," Spirit said in a stuttering voice and pointed into the right direction with a shaking hand. Maka turned her head, her face became pale.
"And then it said: No, I already have two! Hahaha." the Shinigami said. The Shinigami was sitting at a table with five other persons: Doctor Stein, Marie, Blair and the two girls of the Chupa Cabra's Club, Lisa and Arisa. They talked about funny stuff and laughed without end. Lord Death took a cup of tea and took a sip. He laughed, just like the others.
"You're so funny, Shinigami-sama!" the Chupa Cabra girl, Arisa, said. She laughed at his joke.
Maka shook her head in disbelief. After rubbing her eyes, she looked at them again. Lord Death, Mari, Stein, the cat witch and the Chupa Cabra's girls were still there. It wasn't a dream. It was real! She couldn't believe it. Shinigami-sama and his own enemies sat in a cafe? Together?
Maka walked over to them, followed by Soul and Asura. She stepped in front of her teachers and the god of death. Lord Death noticed her. "Oh, Maka-chan! Wha..what a surprise to see you here..." he said.
"I know what you mean. It's a...real surprise..." Maka said. "What is this here? A cafe?"
"A cafe," Shinigami replied. "Oh...you were..." he looked at the others. Stein just shrugged with his shoulders.
"Well...Maka, there is no sense in hiding it. We have to tell you about it," the Shinigami turned around to her.
"Tell me what? That all of you meet our enemies? That you drink tea and eat cake together with them? That you lied to your students?" Maka asked. She didn't know what was going on. Enemies were enemies, not people who you can meet and talk with. Lord Death always told the DWMA students to give their best in the fight against their enemies. Maka believed him. She wanted him and the others to be proud. It was her goal to kill the Kishin, not to serve him as his personal maid. It was also her goal to destroy Arachnephobia, and not to get teased by Arachne's assistant Giriko.
Why did this happen?
Maka's expression changed. "Why?" she asked.
"Do you know about the cafe's meaning?" Shinigami asked.
The scythe meister maid shook her head.
"It's actually two cafes. The one above for the normal citizens of Death City, the Kawaii Cafe. And there is also this one, the Kowai Cafe, a cafe where all kind of people can meet and talk. I always wanted to create a place where all of us can talk and Blair had the idea with the cafes. A cafe for the normal people of Death City and one for us" the god of death explained while raising his huge white...hand.
"Nyaa!" Blair smiled. "That's why I'm the manager," she told her proudly.
"But that...then what you taught us doesn't make any sense. You told us to be careful, to defeat our enemies to fight for the good side!" Maka stuttered.
"But does it make sense to fight with an enemy even if he doesn't do anything? If he or she just wants to have some fun in his or her free time?" Lord Death asked. "There is enough space for all of us. We don't always have to fight when we see other people we don't like or we don't understand in some points. There is also no sense in fighting now. This is a peaceful place."
Maka thought about it. All of her enemies were here but they didn't attack Death City or hurt someone. They just wanted to talk with the others. But that wasn't right, was it? Why did Maka's friends meet their enemies? It was wrong, totally wrong! At least in Maka's point of view. "But..." Maka protested. It didn't take long until she was cut off by someone.
"What do you wanna do!? Kicking us out?" One of Arachne's helpers stood up and yelled at Maka. "We also need some time for ourselves!"
"He's right!" Eruka yelled, slamming her tablet onto a table. "We are sick of doing everything our bosses want us to! What about my own life! Medusa is a horrible person! I need a normal place! And this is the place I mean!"
"But..." Maka stuttered with tears in her eyes.
"Shut up! Do you wanna steal the last bit of fun we have!? Then you aren't better than we are!" another person yelled at the scythe meister.
Maka almost cried. She didn't know what to do or what to say. She was the one who was wrong. And the others were right, she wasn't better than all of her enemies. Ruining the last bit of fun in a life is also evil.
"Maka..." Soul walked over to his partner. "You don't have to be sad. It's our fault. We should have said something to you."
"Wait...then...you knew it? You knew that I worked as maid?"
All people around her gulped nervously. Marie and Stein started whistling innocently, Spirit turned his head and looked into a different direction and Asura wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Maka sobbed. "You knew about it?"
"All of us. But we all know you and we knew about how you could react if you found out the secret about the Kowai Cafe. Your work as a maid was excellent, you even served Asura, Giriko and Free. Just somebody with a pure soul could do this. You promised them to keep that secret and you kept your promise," Lord Death said. "You didn't see them as your enemies... at least not all the time.." he mumbled.
"But... then...if all of you knew...if that deal Asura and I made was just..." Maka stuttered. She turned her hands into fists. "All of you lied to me. You just used me in this time. Asura to molest me and to humble me, Giriko to tease me...and you lied to me. You thought that I was stupid and blind," Maka said. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt betrayed. Everyone had talked about her behind her back and made fun over her. That's what she thought.
"Maka, we didn't want to..." Soul tried to say but her was cut off.
"Shut up. Do you even know how I feel!?" Maka yelled in anger. "You lied to me all the time. If you would have told me...then.." she cried.
"It wasn't that bad, now was it?" Spirit tried to comfort her but only caused to get Maka even angrier.
She gritted her teeth. "You have no idea. To keep that secret I didn't do anything as the Kishin molested me. They humbled me in all possible ways... and now you say it wasn't that bad?" she asked. Maka sobbed, she turned around.
"I HATE YOU! I hate all of you!" Maka screamed. She ran out of the Kowai Cafe, dashed through the small gangway, came back into the Kawaii Cafe and ran out of the cafe. She ran back home. Giriko and Free wondered as they saw Maka crying. They walked downstairs into the Kowai Cafe, seeing the others how they kept quiet.
"What happened?" Giriko asked.
"Maka found out everything," Asura explained. The silence in the room was cold. Nobody did dare to say something. Maka's friends felt bad.
"By the way...what does the 'molesting thing' mean?" Spirit grabbed the Kishin's collar.
Asura just pushed him out of the way. "That doesn't matter now... Maka is angry at us. And we have to find a way how she could forgive us," he said with his lowered head. Something hit him right into his heart when Maka said that she hated him. The same way Soul felt. it hurt.
"What do you say?" Doctor Stein asked the Shinigami.
"... First of all...let's go home.. I won't change anything if we just sit here and drink tea," Lord Death explained. "That all...wasn't supposed to happen."
All people looked around and kept quiet.
...
"Maka?" Soul knocked on Maka's door. She didn't reply. Maka had locked herself inside her room. Since one day nobody has seen her. She didn't want to talk to anyone. She just wanted to be alone.
Blair also came to see Maka. "Maka-chan?" she asked. "Please, open the door. We want to talk to you," she said.
"We?" Soul asked.
Blair nodded with a wide smile. She turned around. "Hey, guys. You can come now!" she exclaimed. Suddenly, Kishin Asura, Giriko and Free stumbled around the corner. "They want to apologize, so I told them to come here," Blair explained to Soul.
"Maka!" Giriko, Asura and Free knocked on her door at the same time. No response again. But a small whimpering could be heard. Maka cried. She was so frustrated.
"Looks like we have to find another way," Giriko said.
"And I think I've got an idea..." Asura mumbled. He walked away followed by Soul. The scythe boy ran after him and grabbed his sleeve to stop him. "What is it?" the Kishin asked annoyed. He stepped in front of Soul, looking down at him. Still, the scythe boy stood in front of him very bravely.
Soul glared at Asura. "What do you want to do? Molesting her again?"
"No. Apologizing," the Kishin sneered.
"Oh. Don't think you're the only one who loves Maka," Soul said, crossing his arms. His statement let the Kishin's anger raise.
Asura smirked in a sinister way at Soul. He grabbed his collar and pulled him closer. "But at least I admitted it. You never cared about her before and now you want to play the brave prince who will comfort her? Silly. Do me and Maka a favor, and get lost!" Asura hissed.
"Shut up, Kishin!" Soul yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Shut up, too!" Asura shouted.
"Both of you, shut up!" A voice yelled loudly, causing Asura and Soul to jump in surprise. They wrapped their arms around each other. A couple of seconds passed until Asura and Soul realized their positions. They quickly let go of each other and stepped back. It was Free who yelled that loudly. He stood in front of the Kishin and scythe. Free crossed his arms in annoyance. "You are terrible. That's one of the reasons why Maka won't come out! You have to stop fighting!" he snapped.
Soul raised one eyebrow. "Mister-I-know-it-better is right," Soul turned to Asura, pointing at Free.
"My name is Free!" Free hissed. "And by the way, while you were fighting the others discovered a way how to apologize. We found a possible way how Maka will forgive us," he told them.
"And how?" Asura and Soul asked.
Free smirked. "The cafe," he said.
"The cafe?"
Wow, just one more chapter and we will be finished.
What does Free mean with the cafe? And will Maka forgive them? She is really frustrated and angry now. This won't be easy!
