~With Maka and Tsubaki
"Thanks for coming with me Tsubaki!" Maka said as she searched for a book. Tsubaki stood next to her, also picking out a book.
"It's a pleasure Maka, I needed a new book to read at night." Tsubaki answered. Maka looked around when something caught her eye. A man wearing a hoodie stood a few rows ahead. Maka turned away and continued to search for a book.
"How about this one?" Tsubaki showed Maka a random book.
"Hmmm... I guess. 'The Great Gatsby' (1) huh? Sounds interesting." Maka said. They walked to the back to a table and sat down. Maka couldn't find the man with a hoodie and confronted Tsubaki.
"Hey, do you know what happened after the accident yesterday?" Maka asked. Tsubaki tensed up and looked away.
"Well... The girls and I got Mark, if that's what you're asking." Tsubaki whispered. Maka sighed in relief.
"Thank you. I don't want to see him." Tsubaki smiled and petted Maka's hand. They read for a while when Tsubaki's phone loudly rang.
"I'm so sorry!" She whispered loudly and went out to take the call. Maka giggled a little and continued reading. From the corner of her eye she saw the guy with the hoodie come out and stand by her pretending to look for a book.
Tsubaki walked out and answered. "Hello?"
"Tsubaki! Mark is gone! I went with Kid and Patty to make him talk and he was gone!" Liz screamed through the phone.
"Maka! She's with me in the library! I'll get her and we'll go home!" Tsubaki hung up and ran in.
Maka got up and was about to join Tsubaki outside when the guy in the hoodie grabbed her. He covered Maka's mouth and she tried to bite him.
"Maka!" Tsubaki yelled. Her hair turned into her blade and she tried to hit him with the chain. The hoodie fell off and Maka saw Mark under it. Maka screamed but it was muffled. Tsubaki dialed everybody and waited till they answered. She made sure the phone was on speaker.
"Hello?" Kid said.
"Hey, what's up?" Black Star lazily said.
"Thompsons reporting~!" Patty cheerfully said.
"Let go of Maka, Mark!" Tsubaki yelled.
"No! I had Maka first! She has to marry me! I love her! Nothing will keep us apart!" Mark yelled back.
"He got there? We're on our way!" Liz said, hanging up. Kid agreed and hung up.
"THE AMAZING BLACK STAR WILL MAKE HIM EAT DIRT AFTER I'M DONE WITH HIM!" Black Star yelled.
Tsubaki whacked him again with her chain, and hit it him in face. He got a gash across it and he laughed. Maka began to cry but didn't stop trying to get away.
He backed away and Tsubaki went after him. Mark picked Maka up and ran out. Maka screamed and soon they ran into Kid pointing his twin pistols at him. He hopped off Beelzebub and he disappeared in his hand. Mark backed up and soon Black Star appeared.
"Enchanted Sword." Tsubaki turned into her weapon form and black stripes formed around Black Star's face.
"What are you going to do? Kill me? You'll be expelled from the DWMA!" Mark said. Kid lowered his pistols a little but the death glare never left. Suddenly Soul appeared with his arm turned into a blade.
"I don't care. It's not cool to have a girl held hostage. Especially when she's not even yours." Soul said. Mark looked at him and Maka tried to leave. But Mark took out his own pistol and pointed it to her head.
"She is my girl!Tell them to back off Maka. Tell them to leave us alone." Mark said. Maka looked at Soul and he was ready to pounce on Mark. Maka couldn't say anything. She was too scared. Mark pointed the gun to Soul and he brought his blade back.
"Soul!" Maka screamed. Mark looked at her and smiled. "Please, just let us go." Maka clenched her eyes closed and tears rolled down her cheeks. Mark moved his gun to Maka's temple and walked past the group. Soul clenched his eyes closed. He couldn't bear to see his meister being taken by a psycho.
Mark led Maka out and put her in his car. "Everything is going to be fine. I can protect you better than that weapon of yours. Don't worry once we get married, we'll go and live in California. Just like you wanted." Mark by this time, got in the car and drove away.
"We need to get her back" Soul said.
"We need to. You go home and rest, we'll get her back." Liz said. Soul looked at her and growled.
"She is my meister! I don't want anyone else right now other than her right now!" Soul yelled. Kid walked to him and put a hand on his shoulder. Soul shoved it away and Kid held his hands up in surrender.
"Fine, let's call my father." Kid walked over to the wall and called him.
"Hello~! How are you Kiddo?" Lord Death happily said.
"Father, Maka was taken. Can you locate her?" Lord Death was quiet and Soul, as always, got impatient. "It seems that Mark has gotten a hold of Maka. Am I right?" Kid nodded. "Well, I'm sorry to say but it seems he has plans to eat her soul." Black Star walked over.
"What do you mean?" He said, crossing his arms.
"Mark seems to be a Kishin. Maka is in danger, you guys need to help her. They are going to California. I'll send some tickets for you guys for the next flight out. Black Star, you know how to hunt a person down. I need you to track him. Send shadows everywhere." Black Star nodded and soon an envelope with tickets came through the wall. "Go get Maka, and be careful!" Kid broke the connection and they left to the airport. The plane left in 3 hours. They had plenty of time to get to the airport.
~At the airport~
"I'm so sorry, but it seems that the flight is very booked." The flight attendant said. Soul paced around and ran a hand through his hair.
"This is so not cool..." he kept mumbling. Kid looked at him and something behind Soul caught his eye.
"What now Kid? By the time we get a flight it might be too late." Liz said. Black Star noticed what Kid was looking at and smiled.
"I'll get the keys if you distract." Kid nodded and looked around. Soul was still pacing. Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki talked, trying to lighten the mood.
Kid looked at Black Star and nodded to the back desk. "Once you get them tell everyone to follow you. We'll explain on the plane." Black Star nodded and the plan went to action.
Kid walked to the lady and began asking about the next flight's time. Black Star walked behind her and found a pair of keys. He grabbed them and walked to the girls. "When you hear Kid yell 'Run', you guys run to the back door and climb on that small plane okay?" The girls nodded and Soul walked over.
"Let's do this quick." he said. Black Star took two steps to the door and gripped the keys in his hand. Kid turned to them while the lady checked the records on the computer.
"Run!" They busted into a run and the lady called security. Black Star climbed on the front with Kid and the rest climbed on the back. Kid jammed the keys in and the plane turned on. The plane started speeding and soon it was in the air. Black Star sighed in relief and Kid, who was gripping the steering wheel, relaxed. Soul sat all the way in the back and looked outside. Liz was on the phone with Mifune and she sounded worried.
"What's wrong sis~?" Patty asked, sitting next to her. Liz sighed and sat back.
"Mifune got Hikaru, Kat, and Olivia. He's going to bring them over and help as best as he can." Patty looked down.
"What if they get hurt?" Patty asked a bit scared. Liz looked at her and hugged her. "It's going to be okay. Mifune knows a lot of spells that are going to help us." Patty nodded and continued singing.
"Don't worry. This plane is good enough to land on Mifune's lawn. In fact it did." Everybody looked out the window and saw Mifune's house. Liz ran out and the moment she jumped off, she fell on Mifune.
"Ow..." she mumbled.
"Ow is right. But I can get used to this." Mifune said. Liz lifted herself ad Mifune was smiling under her. Liz sprang up and Mifune laughed. He sat up and Liz stomped back in the plane. Mifune smiled and got in.
"We have to wait. I called Kat, she's coming over with Hikaru and Olivia." Kid said turning to everybody in the back. Mifune nodded and Black Star groaned.
"Hey Soul." Mifune sat next to him and Soul shifted his lazy eyes to him.
"Yo," he said.
"Listen, I have some spells that will help us track down that guy faster." Soul looked out the window and ran a hand through his hair. "We'll find her soon." Soul nodded and looked out the window again.
"Hey Soul?" Tsubaki asked. Soul turned to her. "How did you know about Maka? I didn't call you."
"I was on the line with Black Star. I guess he joined the connection and I heard everything." Tsubaki nodded and glared at Black Star. He smiled sweetly and sank down in his seat.
Maka fell asleep after a few hours on the road. Mark had tied her mouth closed with a cloth and her hands and legs after she had almost jumped out of the moving car. Her eyes fluttered open and she only saw darkness. She squirmed but her hands were still tied. She groaned and tossed her head back.
"Don't do that. You'll get hurt." Maka looked around, but couldn't fond where the voice came from. Her mouth was still tied so she really couldn't talk. The lights suddenly came on and Maka clenched her eyes closed. She heard footsteps approach her and she slowly opened them. Mark crouched down in front of her and put a hand on her chin. He lifted her face to his and he smiled.
"You know, this arranged marriage has been going on since we were 10." Maka's eyes widened. "See, at first, I didn't want to. I thought of you as a sister, but as I thought more about it, I realized I fell in love with you." Mark cupped her cheek and Maka flinched. Mark frowned and grabbed her face with both hands.
"If you're scared that your idiotic weapon of yours is going to find us then don't worry. They don't know where we are." Maka had silent tears running down her face. Mark took the cloth from her mouth off and Maka looked down and more tears ran down. Mark pulled her into a hug and stroked her hair.
"Shhh... It's okay Maka. I know your sad to be far from your friends, but I promise you this: our life will be so much better without them okay?" Mark pulled back a little and kissed her cheek. "I'll go make breakfast." Mark got up and walked out of a door on the other side of the room.
Maka loudly cried. She cried for what seemed like forever. Maka tried to get her hands free but failed. "Soul..." she whispered. Maka let her was fall and continued to cry loudly.
"Why did we have to leave the plane there?" Hikaru asked, holding Patty's hand as they followed Kid through the forest. (1)
"Because," Kid sighed. "If we leave it in a public place, there is going to be a high chance of someone finding out that we stole it." Hikaru nodded and gripped Patty's hand. It had rained earlier and the ground was muddy. Mifune had Liz on his back since she didn't want her shoes to get dirty. Kat and Olivia carefully stepped around the mud and Tsubaki and Black Star just walked through them. They're shoes were already dirt as it was. Kid had wrapped plastic around his shoes and the bottom of his pants so he didn't have to worry about them getting dirty. Soul walked in front of the group. He had a head start. He really didn't care about his shoes.
"We need to find her." he whispered to himself. They finally reached the clearing and found a road. Kid took the plastic off and his shoes and pants were still clean.
"Where to now?" Liz said. Mifune turned his head to her and rose an eyebrow.
"How about walking toward the busy road over there." Liz turned to her right and saw a few cars pass.
"Right." She got off and Mifune popped his back.
"Let's go." Soul said. He led the way toward the road and the rest followed. They reached the street and a bunch of people were walking around.
"Stay together. We'll find a place to start spreading shadows." Kid said. The stepped out and Kid wrapped an arm around Kat. Mifune grabbed Liz's hand and Hikaru gripped Patty's hand tighter.
"Ow..." Patty said. Hikaru looked at her and smiled.
"Sorry..." Hikaru said and loosened his grip. The group continued walking and soon found a clearing.
"Tsubaki, Enchanted Sword mode." Black Star said. Tsubaki nodded and turned into her weapon form. Mifune took out a bottle of orange liquid and gave it to him.
"Once you send the shadows out, drink it. You'll be able to communicate with any of them if they found any sign of Mark." Black Star nodded.
"Shadow Puppet." 20-30 shadows slithered throughout the ground and rapidly went away.
"How long does it last?" Kid asked.
"Until he uses Tsubaki as a weapon again." Mifune said. Black Star drank the liquid and Tsubaki turned back into human.
"Alright, let's go find a hotel and stay there a while. How's your injury Soul?" Kid asked. Soul felt a strong pain since he went to the library to help Maka.
"It's fine." He replied coolly.
~Maka's POV~
After a few hours of what I thought was a rest, Mark took me back to the car. He drove for a few hours until a sign caught my attention.
'Welcome to California, home of the biggest celebrities, theme parks, and food!' I kept reading it and smiled a little. Soul would be really happy if the food here was big. For once he would probably get full after his first serving. I rolled the window down and leaned against the door. Palm trees were everywhere. I love California, but the thought of being here with Mark just kills everything. I'm scared. What if Soul just left me and is trashing my house right now? What if everybody went home and completely forgot about me?
No. They didn't. They're my friends! They will come save me! I looked at the road and a shadow slithering by caught my attention. He slithered past the car and came back. He got on the tire and slithered up to the door and stopped right next to me. The shadow had bright yellow eyes and stared at me with them. The eyes disappeared by the shadow wrapped itself around my ankle. I looked at it, expecting it to do something to me, but it didn't. It just rested there.
"Something wrong babe?" Mark said. I shook my head. He put his hand on head and petted me. "Don't worry. In a few hours, we'll be home." I looked out the window again. I need to get away from him. Maybe when we stop I can jump out. The shadow squeezed my ankle and I looked at it. It opened its eyes and slowly shook it's head. Can it read my mind! I widened my eyes when it nodded.
~(1) Anybody ever go or live in California? Are there even forests there? I mean I've been to L.A. but I've never seen a forest...
