~Normal~
Maka opened her eyes and sat up. She rubbed them and stretched. She looked around her room and found her clock. "7:30 huh?" Maka mumbled. She stared at it as her brain slowly processed it. "We're late!" She yelled. She ran out the door and knocked on Soul's door. "Wake up! We're late for school!" She ran to the bathroom and brushed her teeth.
Soul tossed in his bed and groaned. "Whatever..." He mumbled and went back to sleep.
Mama rushed out and kicked open Soul's door. "Hurry up!" She yelled and ran to change. Soul sat up and ran a hand through his hair. He had a massive hangover. He got up and walked to the bathroom taking his own sweet time. He walked back to his room and changed into his favorite black jeans, an orange shirt, and a black leather jacket. He put a black headband in his hair and walked to the kitchen. He almost tripped the empty bottle of Vodka on the floor and growled at it, causing his head to hurt more. He threw it away, grabbed the keys and slowly walked down stairs.
"Hey Soul..." a voice groaned. Soul found Blair by the front door wearing a grey sweater and some black joggers.
"Hey Blair. You sound sick." Soul said, walking up to her. She nodded and rubbed her throat.
"I seem to have almost lost my voice..." she said. 'She sounds terrible...' Soul thought.
"Come over later. Maka will make you some tea and you'll feel better. At that moment, Maka ran down and ran out the door.
"Soul! Come on!" she yelled. Soul cringed, said his goodbyes and walked to his bike.
"Before I forget, I need to talk to you about something. It's sort of important." Blair nodded and Soul continued on. Maka was already leaning against the bike and he got in front. The engine revved and they speed toward Shibusen. Soul speed up as the pain shot through his head and Maka held on tighter.
"I shouldn't have drunk that Vodka..." Soul whispered to himself. He skidded to a stop in front of Shibusen and Maka got off.
"Seems like we're 10 minutes early." She said. Soul rolled his eyes and groaned.
"I dealt with this shit for nothing..." Soul said. Maka looked at him but he just kept looking down. Maka shook her head. 'I did tell him not to drink anymore.'
Tsubaki stood by the entrance whispering something to Black Star.
"Good morning." Maka quietly said. Black Star seemed to have a hangover, too, but Maka was in a happy mood so she felt bad for him as well.
"Good morning Maka." Tsubaki said. Soul walked over to Black Star and they exchanged a few words before groaning. Maka and Tsubaki led the way to the class and the two boys trudged behind. Maka opened the door and was greeted by a desk flying past her missing her by an inch. Her pigtails flew back and Maka started emotionless at the culprit.
Patty was laughing loudly and Liz was trying to cover her mouth. "Patty! Be quite! Remember Kid?" She begged. Patty stopped laughing and put a finger to her lips.
"Sorry sis~." She whispered. Kid groaned in pain and pointed at Soul and Black Star. Maka walked to her seat and Liz opened two cans of beer.
"Here, one for Soul and one for Black Star." Maka gave her weapon one and Tsubaki gave the other to her meister. Black Star groaned at the sight of it and slowly drank it. Soul chugged it down and crushed the can in his hand. Maka pulled out her book and began reading. The class was chattering and soon the doors pulled open. Spirit walked in and looked around. He looked at Maka but ignored her. Maka sighed in relief.
"Alright class, listen up!" he started putting a book he had in his hand down on Stein's desk. "Stein had some business to discuss with Lord Death so morning classes are cancelled. I will be watching over you guys so I don't want it to get loud." Spirit sat down and looked at Maka. She sighed and waved at him. His eyes turned to hearts and waved back. "MAKA! PAPA LOVES YOU THE MOST!" The class began laughing and Maka clenched her teeth.
"MAKA- CHOP!" She threw her book and it landed in Spirit's head leaving a crater with blood spewing out. The class laughed harder and Black Star grabbed a fistful of hair.
"SHUT THE HELL UP! CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT YOUR GOD HAD A MASSIVE HANGOVER?" He yelled. The class got quiet and soon Kid stood up nodding at Patty. She giggled and transformed into a pistol. Kid shot Black Star and landed on Soul's desk. He punched Black Star and he fell over with a painful moan. The class stayed quiet and Maka turned to Tsubaki.
"I never knew 'massive' was in his vocabulary. And he used it correctly too!" she said. Tsubaki nodded and for once, didn't go help her boyfriend. Soul was about to go to sleep when a girl with blue hair walked up to him. Maka recognized her. She asked Soul on their first day if he had a girlfriend. (1)
"Hey Soul!" She cheerfully said. Soul looked at her and nodded once. "Here you go." She said giving him a note. He took it and the girl didn't move. Soul rolled his eyes and opened it.
"Dear Soul-"he started.
"Don't read it aloud..." The blue haired girl said. Soul ignored her.
"Ever since the first day you caught my eye. Why don't you leave your current tech and come with me? With love, Kagami." Soul continued. The blue haired girl, Kagami, blushed and pointed to the door.
"I would like an answer now please." she said quietly. Soul nodded and got up. A few words were exchanged in the class and Soul heard a couple of guys talking behind him.
"Hopefully he leaves Maka." The orange haired one said.
"Why?" the guy next to him asked.
"Because then she would be weaponless and since I'm meister-less, we could be a team." The guys laughed and Soul threw them a death glare. They stopped laughing and immediately looked away. He followed the girl out and Maka just watched him leave. She had heard the boys talking, too.
"Don't worry Maka~! He won't leave you~!" Patty happily said. Maka looked at her and smiled.
"I know." Maka said.
"Stop crying already. It gets annoying." Soul said walking in. Cries and footsteps running out were heard and everybody stared at Soul. A few girls ran after Kagami and Soul just sat downnext to Maka with a bored expression.
"Soul? What did you say?" Tsubaki asked. Black Star sat up and looked at him curiously.
"I told her that I couldn't abandon Maka. It wouldn't be cool." Soul said. She looked at him and he winked at her. Maka blushed and looked down. She picked up her book and began reading again. Soul turned to face her and Maka looked at him.
"Does your head still hurt?" Maka asked. Soul nodded a little and opened his notebook. He flipped to a clean page and started writing.
'Yeah...'He passed the notebook to her and she smiled.
'I´m guessing the beer didn´t help?'
'No, it did. I just don't feel like talking.' Maka read it and lightly pushed him.
'Lazy jerk.'
'You know you like it Maka-chan!' Soul wrote back inching toward her. Maka took the notebook and smiled at him.
'What do you think the guys will say when we tell them about us?' Maka wrote. Soul read it and ripped the page out.
'Knowing Liz, she would freak, Patty'dd hug me, Kid and Tsubaki will support us, and I don't really know about Black Star.' Soul said as he pocketed the note. He turned to face Maka and she nodded.
Soul leaned forward and leaned on his arm. Maka turned to face him and he looked up at her through crimson eyes. Maka moved her hands from her desk to his hair and Soul leaned into it a little. His hair was really soft so it surprised Maka a little. She ran her fingers through it and Soul kept staring at her. She looked at him and blushed a little. The door opened and in came Kagami with her group of friends. She glared at Maka and of course Maka, being the mature one, stuck her tongue out. Soul smirked and turned to see the group of girls. He gave them a thumbs-down and the girls stomped away.
"Maka Albarn! Get your hands away from that bastard!" Spirit yelled suddenly getting up. Maka and Soul both rolled their eyes at him.
"Since there's no class this morning, how about we go out to breakfast?" Soul said, turning to the group. They agreed.
"Mind if we join you?" Kato asked walking down with Clok behind him.
"Nah." Soul said. He grabbed Maka's hand from his hair and got up.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER YOU LITTLE SCUMBAG!" Spirit yelled at the sight of Soul grabbing Maka. They walked out and ignored him. "COME BACK HERE!" Spirit yelled stomping after them.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Black Star yelled before punching him in the face.
"Thanks!" Maka said, still being dragged by the hand by Soul. Black Star smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.
"Hey guys! Where are you going?" Hinata said walking up to them. Clok smiled at the sight of her and hugged her. Hinata blushed and hugged him back.
"Will you look at that? Those two lovebirds are so cute!" Tomi said, appearing out of nowhere. Kato attempted to wrap an arm around her, but she just smiled lightly and twisted gracefully away.
"To answer your question, we're going to breakfast. You both are welcomed to join us." Kid said.
"But what about class?" Hinata asked.
"Canceled. Now let's go! Your God is hungry!" Black Star yelled. The group agreed and made their way to their favorite cafe.
"Hi guys! How are you today?" Hikaru asked, seating the group.
"Hi Hikaru~!" Patty yelled tackling him into a hug. Hikaru smiled and quickly kissed her.
"Patty he's working." Liz said. Patty pulled back and grinned.
"Don't worry, we'll continue later. Okay guys, so I will be your waiter. Anything to drink?" he asked. They gave him the orders and he left to get them.
"So how are you guys?" Hinata asked.
"We've had better days." Kid answered.
"I see, you guys have a hangover?" Tomi asked. The guys nodded.
"But it's gone now." Soul replied rather coolly.
"But we never finished that conversation, girls." Liz said smiling.
"What conversation?" Crona said walking in. The group made some room and she sat next to Kid.
"From last night." Liz said.
"Oh yeah! What started it?" Hinata asked.
"I believe Maka and-" Tsubaki said before Maka leaped up and covered her mouth.
"We get it." Maka said. Black Star laughed.
"That was pretty funny! All of you chicks arguing about us guys!"
"But if it wasn't because of that, Hinata and I would be dating right now." Clok said.
"So Tomi. What about that offer I gave you last night?" Kato asked.
"I've thought about it..." She smirked.
"And...?" He prompted.
"I guess you'll just have to wait and see~!"
Maka watched their banter and she played with her fingers. 'They kind of remind me of Soul and I,' she thought to herself and smiled, causingSoul to look at her.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, just a bit nervous on how they might react." Maka said. Soul chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"Now or later?" Soul said. The group was now talking among themselves and Maka looked at them. They were her friends. Possibly best friends. She knew she couldn't keep this from them. She looked at Soul and he raised an eyebrow.
"Now." she said. Soul grabbed her hand and looked at the group.
"Hey guys?" Soul said. Everybody looked at him and Maka and she took a deep breath.
"Soul and I are..." Maka began.
"Are...what?" Liz asked.
"Are..." Maka gulped and looked at Soul. He chuckled and squeezed her hand.
"We're dating." he said coolly. The whole table was quiet.
"WHAT? YOU LITTLE LIAR! YOU TOLD ME LAST NIGHT YOU WEREN'T!" Liz roared at Maka. (2) Maka looked at her and shook her head.
"He asked me after the party! I'm sorry I didn't call and tell you right away!" Maka yelled back. Liz stared at Maka and shook her head. She looked at the people starring at them and she growled.
"WHAT THE HELLL DO YOU WANT?" She yelled at them. They went back to their conversations and Kid laughed.
"Oi Liz! Calm down!" he said between laughs. The rest joined in and Liz looked at Soul, who currently was smiling down at Maka. She had a bright blush on her cheek and Soul kissed her head.
"Black Star? What's wrong?" Tsubaki asked. Everybody turned to him. Black Star was staring at the table.
"Does this mean you replaced me?" he said looking at Soul. Soul sharply turned to look at him and shook his head.
"You're such an idiot! I can never replace you!" Black Star smiled and Soul reached across the table to high five him.
"Our Bromance will love forever!" They exclaimed together while everyone laughed.
"I'm guessing I missed something good?" Hikaru said passing out the drinks.
"Yeah~! Soul and Maka just admitted they are dating~!" Patty excitedly said.
"Congrats!" Hikaru said looking at the two. The group went back to their previous topics and ordered their food.
"So who's paying?" Hikaru asked. Immediately, the girls jumped to their escape plan.
"Liz I need help fixing my hair!" Tomi said and crawled under the table to get out.
"Patty, bring the bags!" Liz yelled walking on the table and jumping off. Patty and Hinata did the same.
"Crona~! We're going to need you~!" Patty yelled
"Tsubaki, I think I saw a really nice hair clip next door! Why don't we go and check it out?" Maka asked. Tsubaki slid out since she was in the edge and Maka climbed on the table and jumped off.
"I think they left us with the bill..." Kato said. Soul watched as Maka left and he became worried. He took out a 20 from his wallet and got out. (3)
"Where are you going?" Kid asked taking out a few dollars.
"Out." replied Soul. He walked out and saw Maka across the street looking at some hair pins. Tsubaki dragged her in and they began looking around.
"Wait up!" Soul turned his head and found Black Star walking up to him. "I don't like my Tsubaki out here alone." Soul chuckled and agreed. They walked over and were greeted by a lady passing coupons.
"Here you two go! In case you guys want to buy something for someone special!" She winked at them and they walked in. Tsubaki was standing admiring a silver rose pin and Maka stood looking at some necklaces. Black Star elbowed Soul and he nodded. Tsubaki walked away and Black Star grabbed the pin and walked over to hide by some clothes. Maka showed Tsubaki the necklace she wanted and Tsubaki smiled. They walked to look at some more when Soul grabbed the necklace and the two boys went to pay.
"Thanks." They hid the bags and walked over to the girls.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to go anywhere alone?" Soul said grabbing Maka from her waist. Maka jumped and looked at him.
"Soul, it's nice that you're worried but I can take care of myself. Besides, I really wanted to look in here. Look what I saw that's really cute!" Maka walked over to show Soul the necklace but it was gone. "Maybe someone bought it..." Maka said. Soul shrugged and Tsubaki walked over with Black Star holding her hand.
"Ready to go?" Soul asked. Tsubaki nodded and they walked out. The rest of the gang was already there waiting for them.
"Let's go back to school. We might make it in time for afternoon classes." Kid said, holding Crona's hand. They agreed and walked toward Shibusen.
"Maka you coming?" Soul asked as they both walked out of the school. Students walked home and a few girls giggled as they passed Soul.
"Uhmm...no, I'll meet you at home okay?" Maka said as she walked to Soul. He nodded and ran a hand through his hair.
"Call me when you want me to pick you up okay?" He said. Maka nodded and walked back inside.
"Maka! Here..." Soul walked up to her and reached behind her neck. Maka stood still and confused as she felt Soul lightly do something. "There." He said pulling back. Maka looked and saw the necklace she wanted.
"You bought it? For me?" Maka said looking at him. Soul smirked.
"No, I bought it for Liz but I just wanted to see how it would look on you. Duh it´s for you, bookworm!" He said. Maka kissed him and she pulled back smiling.
"Thank you." She said. She walked back to Shibusen and Soul went home.
~Maka's POV~
I walked back and gave Soul one last glance. He smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. He was so sweet at times. But right now, I had to ask Lord Death about that woman. I walked to his office and made my way in.
"Excuse me? Lord Death?" I said walking in. He popped out from my left and I jumped.
"Hello hello hello Maka! How are you today?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"I'm doing well! Thank you!" I said.
"Wonderful! You're just in time for tea! Come on and join me!" He walked over to a small white table that had two cups ready with hot tea. I smiled and began to drink it.
" Lord Death, there is something I want to ask you." I said.
"Yes of course! Ask away!" he cheerfully said.
"You see, there is a place that I go with Soul to just relax." I started.
"Ah yes! The willow! I'm guessing your here to talk about what's under it. Am I correct?" I looked at him with a confused face and he nodded. "You don't know what's under it right?" I shook my head.
"See, yesterday Soul and I went there for his birthday. When we left, I saw a lady by the willow but she disappeared." I said. Lord Death thought for a moment and finally spoke.
"This woman. What did she look like?" I thought back and took another sip.
"She had a long black dress with what looked like arrows. Her hair was a blond color and it came down to a braid in the front. Who is she?" I asked. Lord Death looked at me and was quiet.
"You see Maka, the lady you are describing is a witch. Her name is Medusa. Under the Willow is a very potent power that can make the person stronger. Some people believe that it has to do with the Madness, others believe that it's pure." Lord Death said. Maka shook her head. "She wants to take the Willow down so she can get it. But what she doesn't know is that you need a pure heart to open it."
"So she can't get it, right?"
"Sort of. Until further notice, you are not allowed to go back there. I will have your father and Stein cover the perimeter and try to stop her."
"But what do you mean by 'sort of'? And what does she want with it, Lord Death?" I asked.
"Maka, there are things in this world that are harder to explain than others. You and Soul cannot go back. Do you understand?" Lord Death asked. I nodded and finished my drink. I was still curious, but I didn't want to prod any further in fear of having some other restriction put on Soul and I.
"Yes. Thank you Lord Death." I got up and left. I walked out and pulled out my phone. I dialed Soul after deciding that it was too chilly to walk home.
~Soul's POV~
I got on my bike and sped home. Hopefully Maka's okay. It seemed like she had a lot on her mind. I rounded the corner and parked in front of the apartment. I got off and put my phone on loud. Maka said she would call me so I can pick her up. I know she will.
I walked in and looked at Blair's door. Maybe I should check on her. It's not cool to leave a lady alone and sick! I ran up the steps and ran to my room to get the papers I had. I walked back down and lightly knocked at her door. "Blair?" I said. I heard shuffling and the door opened. Blair was still in her sweats but they were blue and her purple hair was damp.
"Oh! Hi Soul! Sorry on looking like this..." I shook my head and smirked.
"Don't worry about it. You're sick right? Come on, I'll make you that tea you want." Blair nodded and followed me upstairs. We walked in and Blair sat on one side of the table while I put the water for tea. I poured the water and thought for a moment before I put in a teaspoon of sugar in her cup and gave it to her.
"Sorry if it's too sweet. For some reason I added sugar." I said, setting the cup in front of her. Blair took it and lightly smiled.
"No, it's okay. I love it like this." Blair said taking a sip. I saw her smile at it and I sat across from her drinking my own tea.
"You okay?" I said. Blair looked at me and nodded.
"You see, I used to live with a boy and whenever he made me tea, he added a teaspoon of sugar. It was habit." she said. Was this the boy she mistook me for?
"Hmmm. Was he your boyfriend?" I asked. She shook her head and laughed a little.
"No. He was my best friend." She answered. I nodded and looked at my tea.
"Blair, I want to show you something." I said getting up. I walked to my room, grabbed the papers and came back. "Someone gave me these on my birthday. I don't know who and I thought you should know." I gave her the papers and she flipped through them.
"So...you officially know that you met Kami Albarn?" She said. I nodded. "Are you going to tell Maka?" I thought for a while.
"She's talking about something with Lord Death. She said she will call me when I can pick her up. I'll tell her tonight." I said running a hand through my hair.
"Tell her slowly. She needs to process this." Blair said finishing her tea. "Thank you Soul." she got up and put her cup on the sink. I got up and put my cup in too.
"Alright, go to sleep." I said, opening the front door for her. She smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Thanks, for everything." She walked down and I closed the door. I smiled and walked to the sink. I washed the cups when my phone vibrated.
"Yo!" I said, half expecting Black Star to scream something out.
"Hi Soul. Can you come get me now?" Maka said. I smiled and turned the water off.
"On my way. The DWMA?" I asked as I dried my hands.
"Yup."
"Got it." I grabbed my bike keys and went on my way to pick her up.
~Normal~
"How did it go?" Soul asked as Maka got on the motorcycle. Maka wrapped her arms around him and nodded.
"Fine." They drove home and walked upstairs once they got there. "I need to talk to you Soul." Maka said as she sat on the couch. Soul looked at her and took off his black leather jacket.
"Sure, what's up?" Soul said sitting across her.
"Well...we can't go to the Willow anymore." Maka said looking at him.
"What? Why?" Soul asked with a surprised tone. Maka shook her head.
"Lord Death couldn't explain clearly, but apparently there is a lady named Medusa who is trying to cut down the Willow. According to Lord Death, there is a force under it that can make a person much stronger. They just don't know if it's pure or if it's a form of the Madness." Maka said. Soul leaned back and sighed.
"Looks like we have to stay bored here at home then." He said. Maka laughed and nodded. "I have to show you something." Soul got up and grabbed the papers from the kitchen table and sat next to her. "Look." He gave her his hospital paper and she read it.
"Does it give some kind of clue?" Maka asked.
"Yeah...to find Maka." Soul said looking at her. She smiled.
"We'll find her soon!" Soul chuckled.
"Actually, I think I found her." He gave her the other paper about her mother and she read it. She sat in silence and she looked at him.
"She was alive?" She whispered. Soul nodded and looked down.
"I held her hand as she died. I promised I would protect her Maka. In other words…you." He looked up at her and she shook her head.
"Then the paramedics..." She whispered. Soul didn't say anything. He just pulled her to him as she began sobbing in his tight embrace.
(1) Okay, so I thought that was pretty self-explanatory but if you're still like, 'what?' then go to...I believe it was chapter 18 in the story-the first day of school.
(2) Dinosaur Liz! RAWR! Hehe!
(3) Ever wonder where the gang gets their money? It´s a mystery to me...well I guess since Soul comes from a rich family...and Kid has money 'cuz he's Lord Death's son...idk about Black Star and the other people, though...
And there you have it! A brand new chapter! :D I now must hunt for food! I'm hungry... :D Until the next chapter, I love you guys! BYE!
