Blair smirked. "So you are Maka's weapon now?" she purred in her cat form as she jumped in through the open window of Carlo's house.

Carlo stared at her. "You talk? What are you even doing here?" Carlo questioned as he went to shoo her back out the window but she stepped behind him before he could and transformed into her human form.

"You know, it's rude to shoo away a guest." Blair said as she walked over to sit on the living room couch.

Carlo eyed her. "It's rude to barge into strangers houses." He stated.

"I know that's why I wanna change that. You like Maka, I can tell." Blair said as she looked around the room.

"Get out." Carlo said, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her to the door.

"Aren't you wondering how I know this?" Blair pouted at him.

"Of course, but at the same time I don't want to know." Carlo said as he was about to open the door.

"I see how much you hate my Souly-kins; you want him out of the picture. I could do that for you." Blair told him.

Carlo froze, his hand on the door handle, his interest spiking to unnatural levels. "I'm listening." he said as he let go of her arm, his stance relaxing a bit.

"You and I both want the same things, someone to love." Blair began.

"I don't need to love anyone." Carlo stated, his interest gone as he began to twist the door knob.

"I've seen the way you look at Maka, you love her." Blair insisted.

"I just met her a few days ago! There is no way that I'm in love with her." He growled at her.

"Then explain the jealousy that you felt when Soul came into the picture again." Blair said a smirk gracing her face. "Explain the joy you felt when you found out that she is your meister."

"It's just a crush, nothing more." He growled at her.

"Oh, but that is where you are wrong my friend. Why do you think that you want to kill my Souly-kins so badly? You even called Maka your girlfriend and you got yelled at for it." Blair said her hands going to Carlo's shoulders and began to rub them so that he could calm down.

Carlo puffed our air. "I'm over protective I guess." He said through clenched teeth.

"That too I guess. You know, I tend to be jealous too… I love my Souly-kins, and you love Maka… but they do have some sort of liking towards each other that I'm sure neither of us agrees with that." Blair whispered into his ear as she dragged him back to the couch and sat him down.

"I guess so." Carlo muttered as Blair turned into a cat and sat on his lap.

"So, why don't we work together to drive them apart?" Blair suggested, cuddling into his stomach.

Carlo stayed quiet… he may not be in love, but as Maka's weapon, he has to make sure that she stays safe and unhurt… heartbroken is a way of being hurt right?

"Alright then… what's your name?" he asked her.

"My name is Blair, what is yours?" she purred.

"Carlo."

-Page Break-

"Alright, we'll do the initiation tonight at midnight. By the way, Soul, who is this kid?" Pops asked, pointing to the body next to Soul.

Soul looked at Dagger. "A class mate, why?"

"Just wondering." Pops answered as he took another drag of his cigar.

"He's the school bully, he would always push me around and humiliate me in front of the school but-" Soul was interrupted by the sound of the cocking of a gun. His head snapped up to see Pops holding the gun and pointing it at the other boy.

"Don't worry Soul, when someone messes with our family, they are dead meat." Pops said.

"Hold up! I wasn't finished! I need him so that he could teach me to be my own meister!" Soul exclaimed, coming up with something from the top of his head.

"That's easy! Jared could show you." Pops said not putting the gun down.

"He's a double weapon though; he could actually be quite useful for whatever battles you need." Soul suggested quickly.

Pops let out a dark chuckle. "Not even in the clan yet and you're here making suggestions." Pops said not lowering the gun.

"Pops!" Maka exclaimed, breaking out of her silent trance.

"That's a good thing Maka, I like this kid already." Pops said chuckling. "Are you sure you don't want me to get rid of him for ya?" he asked Soul.

"Positive." Soul said.

"Alright then, but you and Maka will have to be in charge of him. He'll be a prisoner, he won't join the clan." Pops stated. "Now, you two have guests to attend, am I correct?" Pops asked them.

"Tsubaki! I forgot!" Maka exclaimed, getting up quickly, pulling Soul to his feet and dragging him out the door.

"Hold on there, you're forgetting something." Pops said assed he puffed out a cloud of smoke.

Maka looked back to see him pointing at the boy.

"How are we going to explain him to Tsubaki?" Maka exclaimed.

"He's your responsibility, not mine." Pops said with a shrug.

Maka sighed and walked back over to where the guy was, Soul following closely behind. "Alright, um, how about he passed out from a hangover?" Soul asked remembering how drunk Dagger could get.

"Sure, whatever, he's your cousin now." Maka growled as she threw the boys arm around her shoulder and Soul did the same, they both worked to get him out of the house and walked next door.

"Where do you think Tsubaki and Black*Star are?" Maka asked as she led the two boys to her room.

The boy in the middle of them groaned. "That hurt." He muttered when they dropped him on the ground of Maka's room.

"Soul, who exactly is he?" Maka asked him as she walked over to her desk to sit down, needing to let her leg rest.

"Dagger Nelson, jerk of the school. Made my life a living hell, gave me this scar too." Soul told her, pointing to his cheek.

Maka blinked up at him and sent him a small smile. "If it helps it makes you look more mysterious." Maka told him.

"A bit too much if you ask me." Dagger growled from the ground, trying to ignore the pounding in his head. "Where are we Soul?" Dagger asked.

"Well, we're at my friend's house." Soul told him with a small shrug.

"What are we doing at your friend's house?" he asked him.

"You're lucky to be alive, if it weren't for Soul, Pops would have blown your brains out." Maka said as she opened one of the drawers in the desk and pulled out a few hair ties that were not cut by Carlo and set them down on the desk as she closed the drawer and sat up to look Carlo in the eyes.

"Tell me you're joking, I do not owe my life to this guy." Dagger said his eyes widened in shock.

"Trust me, from what he told us about you, I would have blown out your brains myself. I'm shocked that Soul didn't let you die, I mean, now we have to be your babysitters. So don't go and do something that will make me regret not stepping in and shutting Soul up so that Pops could kill you." Maka warned him as she put her hair up in her pony tails.

Carlo blinked and looked up at Soul. "Why?" he asked.

"I don't know; letting him kill you was sinking down to your level I guess. I have a feeling that you would have let me die if it were up to you." Soul spat at him and went to sit down on Maka's bed but froze when he saw the star on her neck. "Maka, what the hell did you do to your skin?" Soul exclaimed.

"What are you talking about?" Maka asked him.

Soul jabbed at the tattoo, making Maka howl in pain. "Don't touch it! It's still a little sensitive!" Maka growled slapping his hand away.

"Why did you do this?" Soul asked her.

"It's something you have to do once you are part of the clan Soul, they're gonna make you do one too you know." Maka told him. "Now, come on, we have to fins Tsubaki and Black*Star." She said but halted and turned to look at Dagger who was still on the ground. "You stay here at least until we come back, you're lucky my room has a bathroom." Maka said pointing to the door on the other side of the room. "And by the way, if you go through my stuff, you are so dead." She growled at him and latched her hand onto Soul's arm, dragging him out of the room and went to look for Tsubaki and Black*Star.
