Hi, hi! Shadowmistx98 here! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.
Maka opened her eyes. It was Monday again. She groaned as she sat up weakly. She breathed heavily and touched her forehead. It was hot. She shook her head sideways and stood up. She felt dizzy.
"No… I can't be sick today…" Maka grunted. She went downstairs and sat at the table.
"What's wrong, Maka? You look pale!" Spirit saw her. Kami approached her and touched her forehead with the back of her hand.
"I'm ok" Maka lied. She didn't want to have an absent.
"You're not! You're hot, you have a fever!" Kami exclaimed.
"I-I can manage!" Maka insisted.
"No, you can't go out like that, Maka. You'll only make your fever worse" Spirit said.
"And it is only one absent, I'm sure your teachers wouldn't mind" Kami and Spirit ganged up on Maka. Maka took a deep breath. She could feel her breath was hot.
"Fine…" Maka bowed in defeat. Kami went to the phone and punched some numbers.
"I'm going to call Soul and BlackStar" Kami said.
"Please tell them to not tell the others… I don't want them to worry" Maka requested.
"Hello?" Soul answered.
"Oh, Soul? Is this you? I'm just going to notify you that Maka isn't feeling well, so she's going to pass from school" Kami said.
"What? How is she now?" Soul's voice got worried that made Kami chuckle lightly.
"She has a fever. Don't worry, she's going to be fine. She just has one request"
"What is that?"
"Please don't tell the others her condition. She doesn't want them to worry" Kami said.
"uuh… ok.." Soul seemed hesitant about it.
"Thanks, bye!" Kami put the phone down.
"So, who was that?" BlackStar asked Soul.
"It's Maka's mom. She said she has a fever so she won't be with us…" Soul said.
"What?" BlackStar seemed surprised.
"Yeah, but don't tell the others about it. Maka requested that" Soul said as he got his bag and so did BlackStar and went out.
xXxTime Skip! After ClassxXx
Soul, BlackStar, Kim, Ox, Harvar and Jackie gathered around the corridor and was meeting about something. And it was about Maka.
"I wondered what happened to Maka?" Ox asked himself.
"Dude! She's not even replying to all my messages!" Kim said.
"Hmmmm…. I wonder…." Jackie looked down. BlackStar looked at Soul and eyed him. Soul sighed.
"Hey, that's one of the representatives, right?" Kim suddenly changed the topic and pointed to a girl with high, long ponytail. She was walking and looking around the corridor.
"Wow, she's beautiful…." Jackie followed.
"Hey, isn't that Tsubaki?" Soul asked. They all looked at him shocked to know her name.
"Wait, I'll call her" BlackStar grinned. He whistled.
"Tsubaki!" he waved his arms to her. Tsubaki saw him and approached.
"Oh, hi Soul, BlackStar!" she greeted nicely.
"You two know her?" Harvar asked.
"Uh, yeah, she's Maka's best friend… Tsubaki, this is Kim, Jackie, Ox and Harvar" Soul introduced.
"Hi! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Tsubaki smiled at them.
"Oooh! So you're the one Maka has been mentioning in her stories! Nice to meet you!" Kim excitedly said. Tsubaki blushed.
"I'm sorry to ask this all of a sudden but do you know where Maka is or what happened to her?" Jackie asked.
"Uh, no. I thought she was with you. When I came here in this school I was looking forward to seeing her…" Tsubaki replied.
"Well, she's absent today and we don't even know where the heck she is" Ox said. BlackStar looked at Soul again. Soul took a deep breath.
"Sorry for not telling you this before all this but Maka made this request earlier…" they all looked at him.
"She has a fever. She doesn't want you to be worried about her…" Soul said.
"That idiot, doesn't she know that, that request she made caused us to be more worried about her?" Kim said.
"Her mom said she's going to be fine… But I think you should go visit her" Soul said.
"Yeah! That's a great idea!" Jackie said.
"Let's go then…" the others followed Soul and BlackStar.
Maka went down the stairs and sat at the sofa. She hugged her legs and lied down. Kami approached her.
"Are you feeling alright?" she asked.
"I'm feeling much better… Thanks mom…" Maka smiled at her.
"Ok, don't push yourself…" Kami smiled at her and patted her head. Maka smiled in return. Kami went to the kitchen and continued her cooking. Someone knocked on the door.
"I'll get it!" Maka shouted at her mother. She stood up and ran to the door. She opened it and her eyes widened.
"Maka!" Kim hugged Maka that made her almost fall.
"K-kim?" she looked at her familiar pink hair. She then looked at the others.
"Tsubaki, Jackie, Ox, Harvar? What are you guys doing here?" she looked at them as they smiled and waved at her. Then she saw Soul and BlackStar at their back smiling at her too.
"We're here to make sure you're alright! Silly!" Kim broke their hug.
"You know, we were really worried when you didn't come to school…" Jackie said.
"Are you ok now, Maka?" Tsubaki smiled at her. Maka looked at them.
"You visited me here….to see if I was alright?" Maka asked.
"Of course!" Ox raised his thumbs up. Maka felt like crying. She sniffed.
"Maka, are you alright?" Tsubaki kinda panicked. Maka then hugged them all.
"Thank you so much! This means a lot to me!" Maka said as they hugged her back. Kami peeked outside and smiled.
"Well well well… Are you here to visit Maka?" Kami asked. They all nodded.
"Come in, then!" Kami led them to the living room and served them some snacks. Then she left.
"Are you feeling well?" Tsubaki asked. Maka nodded.
"So, when do you think you're going to take the special quizzes today…? I mean we answered a lot of them earli-!" Kim smacked Ox's head.
"Don't pressure and stress her, Ox! She just got up from a fever!" Kim shouted at him. They all laughed. They had a pretty good time together. They laughed about random things. It was then time for the others to go home.
"Bye, Maka! Get well!" they all said as they left.
"Bye!" BlackStar ran to his house.
"Get well, princess..." Soul smiled at her as she turned her back away from Maka.
"Wait, Soul" Maka stopped him.
"Hm? What is it?" Soul turned his face to her.
"Thanks…. For today… Even though you couldn't keep a secret, you really made me happy this day by opposing my request" Maka laughed.
"Well, BlackStar's glare helped" Soul said. Maka waved at him as he got to his house. She went in her own house and got to her bedroom.
"Thank you so much…" she whispered as she hugged her pillow. Then she felt her cheeks hot. She touched it and looked at the mirror.
"Am I blushing?" she thought. She shook her head. "Why would I?"
"Maybe because I'm tired….." Maka stared at space then shook her head again. "No, that's not it…"
" Is it because of the fever?" Maka touched her neck with the back of her hand. She felt normal. "That's not it either…"
"What was the last thing I thought about…?" Maka asked herself. "I was thinking about Soul and what he did….." she whispered. Her eyes widened.
"N-no, that can't be… It can't be him, I must be-"she looked at the mirror again and saw that she was redder. Maka's mouth hung open slightly. She sat again and grabbed her curtains. Her grip tightened as she pulled it down.
"Maka!"
"Ah!" Maka suddenly pulled the curtains aside and saw Soul looking at her.
"W-what do you want?" Maka stuttered.
"What's wrong? You've been mumbling something inside your room…" he worriedly asked and analyzed her face.
"Why are you red?" he raised an eyebrow.
"I-I'm not!" Maka defensively said.
"I'm fine… Don't worry about me…" Maka began to slowly pull the curtains back. Soul smiled.
"Ok, then, If you say so, good night, princess" Soul said. Maka completely covered her window.
"Night…." She answered. She could hear him chuckle. Maka buried her face on her pillow.
"Urgh…. What's wrong with me?" Maka asked herself again.
"Could this be…?"
I hope you liked this chapter!
I can relate much to Maka and Ox here. Whenever I'm absent in school, my classmates texts me and tells me there are a lot of seatworks and quizzes I missed. Seriously! They do that every time!
Anyways to the story, this is the part where Maka realizes something.
And for Lucy Ashley From Fairy Tail, yes... I've been considering your suggestion of a kiss... I will think of what chapter I might stick it in but not this chapter or next. ;) But sorry I won't do it in the dance.
