Chapter 14:
(Maka's POV)
"Soul!"
"Maka!" He grabs me and thrusts me forward. "It's only Ayame, right?"
"Yeah, Hitmomi is yours, but don't kill him. Remember he's not Kishin."
"Yeah, I know." He says, looks at me, and looks back at Ayame.
"Let's go! Soul Resonance!" We both scream, before resonating.
"Ayame, don't ever mess with my girl again! Kishin Hunter!" He swings, and I give it my all. It cracks the cobblestone right down the middle of the lane.
Kidd looks at it from the place he was standing "IT'S SYMMETRICAL!"
"KIDD!" Soul and I scream "Now is NOT the time."
Hitomi looks at me with honor and sadness etched in his eyes. "I'll always love you." Those words penetrated my soul. It stopped my resonating with Soul and paralyzed my body.
"Ah! Maka!" Soul screams to try and grab me, but I fall. My human form is back. I feel the piercing cold of the cobblestone.
Words... He can't... I have to do this... "Soul! Put me unconscious!"
"You want me to hit my own girlfriend?"
"Just do it!" I order.
And he obeys, I'm knocked unconscious with one hit to the head. And within seconds, the world begins to be a movie theater, and I'm the only one there, watching the scene play out before me, having no control, just watching what I do to my opponent when I'm not really there...
(Soul's POV)
I hit my own girlfriend.
Hitomi watches in horror as her once motionless body rises off the ground, pulling itself up with her hands, and then her feet. She rises, and stands.
"Stand back" She orders "The Lord of Words. We learned about him in class. Good-Bye, Mr. Hitomi." Her voice is a creepy doll's voice.
She charges.
She moves swiftly, blades coming out her back and over her head, out her waist, and round his, and out her arms, pinning him to the wall. "Any last words?"
He looks at her, amazed, and then grabs her breasts in his hand. Her facial expression remains the same as she stabs him right in the center of the chest. He lets her go, and I'm more upset that I cannot interfere.
"You can't cross souls with a soul that's been crossed" She says, her eyes black now.
She's pissed.
I back away slowly to stand by Justin, Kidd, Black Star, and their weapons. All of them starstruck.
"Amazing!" Kidd looked like he was going to explode.
"What?" He says "Impossible. You can't mean that... you're... in love... with HIM!" He screams it at the top of his lungs.
"Your soul... Is mine!" She screams. Just then, thousands of blades, big and small come out of her body, everywhere, except her face and neck, and she pierces him, shifting her blades out, ripping him apart in every direction. Blood splattered everywhere as pieces of flesh swirl around her. She creates a wind around her, circling her, leaving us outside to watch, literally in the dust.
Not a moment later, a blue light, unwelcoming to any Kishin, shot from the center. She had destroyed its soul. The light had begun to flash blue and red, before a red light only remained, it's brightness increasing, and it inhaling the world in it. After that, it disappeared, and when the dust cleared, nothing was there, except the crack in the cobblestone, and an unconscious Maka, who was breathing heavily, and bleeding from various places. Even the bodies were burned away, and the soul didn't remain, in fact, it had been destroyed completely.
"Maka!" We all yelled, and rushed over to her. I grabbed her and held her bloody body to my chest. Kid placed his hands over his face and began to cry. "She's not dead." I said "Sorry to disappoint."
Kid looked up and sighed with relief, "Good."
Justin smiled with tears, trying to see if she'd awaken there. Tsubaki, Liz, and Pattie bowed their heads and said "Thank you."
I picked her up, bridal-style and carried her home, obviously with everyone following.
Maka, I shouldn't have...
"S- Soul..." She spoke! My eyes snap open to see her green pools of hurt staring into my sad red ones. "Don't... please... don't leave me..." She says, before closing her eyes again. I begin to cry over her, before her lips touch mine.
"I love you." She says, and I return the words, and the kiss.
"I love you, too, Maka, always have, always will."
