I'm baaaaaackkkk :D

Found this in my docs and wondering why I never uploaded it? I have no idea. Not sure when this is a while I ago I wrote chapter 11.

A/N: I have come to the conclusion that chapter 10 just, well, sucked...I'm so sorry. But all of this is just a bump in the road hopefully.

Unexpected Visitors Chapter 11: Four Men Walk Into a Bar

"I can handle you having a small fight..." Klein started pulling back his rifle with a sound click. "What I can't tolerate is anyone, I mean anyone at all, destroying my shop."

No one answered his unspoken challenge; and silence reigned over them, but before anyone could break it their focus was pulled back to the door, where Soul and Maka entered the cafe.

"Hey, what's going on?" Soul questioned surveying the scene before him.

"A small disagreement." Kid replied casually. "Nothing to worry about." Soul frowned, four men in matching black suits stood around a rather short guy and a tall woman. He especially took notice of his best friend lying outside bleeding, while Tsubaki was leaning over him seeing if he was OK.

"Is that right?" He said moving to stand beside Kid tense and alert. Liz and Patty still made no moves, choosing to stand behind their meister. The short man, Vinnie, turned his grim expression into a smile, barking out a laugh.

"Well, well, you kids have guts I'll tell you that!" He continued laughing. "Although, You're friend wasn't very smart." He said nodding his head to Black Star. Causing Tsubaki to send a glare his way. "But I kind of like his style."

"Kid-kun..." Patty finally spoke up startling the others.

"Yes?"

"Can we go now? I'm feeling tired." She said yawning.

"Yeah. That's a good idea." He replied.

"I'm closing early." Klein said, "ya'll better clear out now."

"Very well." Vinnie gave one last look to Kid and the two sisters. "We'll be in touch." He snapped his fingers initiating his body guards to follow him, one already holding open the door. A sleek black car pulled up immediately, whisking the group off.

"Good riddance." Soul sighed "That was so not cool." He turned to fully face Kid and that's when he noticed something important.

"Wait...where's Maka?" He asked looking around the shop but there was no sign of his date.

Rustling in the back alerted them all, and with curious looks the group moved towards the back of the cafe. Soul pushed open the door separating the two sides, the four friends were at a loss of words from the scene that greeted them. The usually serious meister was sprawled on the floor with various bottles surrounding her.

"What the..." Soul muttered, looking down at the girl. Suddenly Maka shot up and her whole body seemed to vibrate, before anyone could say anything or do something to stop her she was out of the shop like a bullet screaming something about cherry stickler pie into the night. After the shock wore off Soul became extremely agitated letting out a low growl.

"My booze!" Klein exclaimed when he finally joined them.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" The white haired weapon yelled, the only reply came was the cackling laughter from who he assumed to be his meister, and Kid's resigned sigh.

Maka disappeared for 16 hours that she, nor anyone else, could account for. Not long after she had left the Black Cat did they discover Tsubaki was missing as well. It made a small vein throb on Soul's head, it wasn't like him to get frustrated or annoyed, he was a cool guy after all, but even he has his limits. He left the shop as confused as he had arrived, and the only thing Kid had to offer was a complaint on how Maka had finished an uneven amount of bottles, and the number she had finished was asymmetrical, it made Soul want to hit him. He scoured the city for his partner but didn't have much luck, even with Black Star's help. Soul returned home to sleep it off, hoping Maka would be back in the morning. The meister did not return until 2 that afternoon, and was completely unresponsive to any of his questions, opting to go straight to her room and lock herself in. It would take another few hours for her to go back to normal, during which Soul conversed with Black Star on how Tsubaki was, who had come back around the same time. The only thing Black Star offered was that his weapon had come back smelling faintly of cherries. By Sunday everything was back to the way it should be and Maka is acting normally although she, and Tsubaki, still refuse to talk about what happened. He didn't really mind, Soul wasn't sure if he wanted to know what happened, so he kept his questions to himself.

"So, you guys up for a game of hoops later?" Soul asked the group as they all walked to the school building.

"Yeah sounds cool." Black Star replied and the rest hummed in agreement.
