Maka's eyes couldn't pull away from him, the person she'd been searching for this whole was standing only a bit away and her feet were glued to where they were, what kept her in her spot was the look in his eyes, normaly soul's eyes were kind with a hint of mischief and his smile matched it, now everything about him screamed insanity. "home sweet home" he said in the voice that maka could recognise, was this really soul. No it couldn't be!
"maka, you're looking well" he smiled jumping down from the pole and trotting up to her a sweet smile on his face, "I'm glad to see you've been getting by withou trouble" he put his hands on her shoulders "you look beautiful maka, you even changed your hair" maka felt like every hair on her body was on edge as he took her into his arms wrapping her in an embrace.
"I've missed you" her eyes watered up, "what did they do to you?" she whispered into his ear, soul pulled away to look into her teary eyes "I don't know what your talking about maka, whats wrong I just got home can't I hold my girlfriend?" he gripped the back of her arms roughly smashing his lips against hers. It was the first time maka had kissed soul and she couldn't deny it anymore this wasn't the soul she knew.
Before she could register what had happened maka was on the ground with kidd on top of her, crona stood with ragnarok clashing against a blade where souls arm had been sojrio stood a couple feet behind him holding his right hand that had blood seeping form a large cut. Soul had tried to kill her, sojiro had probly grabbed the blade long enough for kidd to get me out of the way and chrona took over after that. Crona lifted ragnarok ina swift motion almost hitting soul he jumped a few steps back.
"it has to be a fake, the real soul would never try to hurt maka!" kidd yelled to chrona "don't hold back!" crona nodded silently letting him know she understood. Maka closed her eyes reaching for the soul wavelength from within soul she found it easily the room was the same as it always was, the little demon sat on the paino but soul was no where to be found, "hey oni! Where is soul" demon cleaned out his ear with his pinky "you're too loud" he said pointing nochalantly toward a door that had not been there before.
Maka stepped throught the doorway into the room as soon as she got in the door closed behind shutting her in darkness maka kept feeling for his wavelength and was able to take small step through the darkness finally maka felt she was close enough when she opened her eyes all the darkness had turned to white and in the middle of the white a giant black ball she could sence soul's soul wavelength but it was wrapped in a think layer of insanity, It was thicker than the black blood. She tied to push through it but couldn't go far "SOUL!" she cried out begging him respond
"maka?"a small voice called out from inside the giant black bubble . maka pounded on the walls of think liquid "soul it's me can you hear me!" she yelled out, as she hit the black bubble one more time he liquid went from pitch black to see through and throught th darkness she could see soul reaching throught the liquid for her "MAKA!" he yelled seeing her. Maka psuhed harder trying get through the liquid as they got closer it felt like the liquid was was growing resistant to them
Maka could feel herself being torn away from soul she gave on final push and was able to just barely tap the tip of his middle finger with her own before she shoved away from the ball and thrown out of his soul "MAKA!" she could hear him scream after her. Maka was thrown back into her body rough enough to knock her backwards into the waiting arms of kidd "are you alright maka?"
Maka nodded softly, she heard a yell and looked to see sojiro tackle soul from behind pushing him foreward at the same time as chrona swung, it would cut him open right there if that hit him, she realised. Maka jumpes to her feet running forward as fast as she could "STOP!" she screamed
Her yell shocked chrona who faltered long enough for soul to knock sojiro down and back up enough to where ragnarok sliced through his shirt but didn't cut him. Maka fell to her knees as soul flew past her "thanks for the help" the group tried to run after him "let him go!" maka commanded. They all stopped dead in their tracks "why are stopping us?" kidd asked angrily.
"good question" maka turned around to see her father standing there. "shinigami-sama asked me to take you to him after the battle was over" he ushered the group to follow him and they did so without qualms. Maka had a small smile on her face, soul may br the kishin now but he still had his soul. As long as that stayed in tact there was a way to get himback.
