Lost Keys

Chapter 6

(Love is War - part 1)

"Would you please go away?" Soul growled.

When they got home, they made sure to lock all the doors and windows, an attempt to make their home safe for children. The only child with them was Max, and Soul wasn't very happy when he noticed how clingy this child was. Sure, Max was only watching Soul as he cooked dinner. But to Soul, this kid was staring into his very soul. Not a very comfortable feeling. Those green eyes of his just won't look away for even a second, watching Soul's every move.

"Why?" the child asked.

"Because you're annoying."

"Why?"

"Because I can't concentrate at making dinner when you're staring at me!"

"Why?"

"Kid, seriously, leave me alone."

"But I'm bored." the child complained.

"Then go bother Maka."

"Can't. She's reading."

"Then go watch TV." Soul pointed at the living room.

"But I want to stay with you." Max said and giggled childishly.

Soul growled and ignored the child, but no mater how much he payed him no attention, Max continued watching him. He heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it!" Maka yelled.

"Kid," Soul called, "don't you have a hobby? You know like, drawing or doing puzzles or something?" he asked. If he could get the kid to do something right now, maybe Soul could cook in peace.

"I... I can't remember."

"Maka has a lot of books. Don't you like reading?" Soul noticed the boy rub his forehead.

"I don't know. I can't remember..." the child had trouble standing straight.

"K-kid, you alright?" Soul asked and grabbed the child's shoulders to get his attention.

There was a loud bang sound when Maka slammed the door shut, "Papa, go away! I don't want you to visit." Maka was about to go back to reading when she stopped in front of the kitchen and saw Soul holding Max by his shoulders.

"My head, it hurts..." the child whispered. As soon as Max fell forward, Soul caught him in his arms. Concerned, Soul turned off the stove to avoid burning anything then quickly ran back to Max and held him. Maka saw what happened and ran to their side.

"Max! Max, are you okay?" Maka asked, her voice full of concern.

"Kid, what's wrong? Wake up!" Soul shook the child's shoulders.

Their eyes widened when Max looked up at them. The scar over his eye was glowing a bright blue light and it traveled under his eye-patch. Soul removed the eye-patch and saw that his eye was wide open and glowed, but his other eye was closed. Soul and Maka couldn't believe what they were seeing. The child's eye was glowing like magic.

"Kid, don't you have a hobby?"

Soul's voice echoed in Max's head and his fingers started to twitch. Did he have a hobby?

"Maka has a lot of books. Don't you like reading?"

Did he like reading? Why couldn't he remember?

"Papa, go away!"

Papa? That sounded familiar...

His eye suddenly turned back to normal. He found himself in Soul's arms with Maka and Soul staring at him, their jaws hanging open.

"K-kid? A-are you alright?" Soul asked, still feeling nerves.

Max looked around then looked at Soul and nodded. Maka reached out her hand and gently touched the scar over his eye with her thumb.

"Are you sure you're alright? Does it hurt?" Maka asked.

Max shook his head.

Soul sighed, "Was that the Sight Predict thing that Stein told us about?"

"I don't know." Maka said, "I'll go call Stein and tell him about it." She was about to reach for the phone but was suddenly interrupted by Spirit banging on the door.

"Makaaa! Let Papa see you!" He cried from the other side of the door.

"Papa, I said GO AWAY!" Maka yelled in anger.

"Papa?" Max whispered to himself, which get Soul's attention.

"Pleaseee! Makaaa!"

"Arrr... That's it!" she pulled out her book. Soul knew exactly what she was about to do.

"Papa?" the child whispered again. He finally remembered. "Papa!" He hopped away from Soul's arms and ran to the door. As soon as Maka opened the door to chop her father, the child ran out and hugged the mans legs, knocking him down and interrupting Maka's chop. Spirit shook his head from the impact. He grabbed the child by the back of his clothes and yanked him off.

"Grandpa!" Max shouted happily and spread out his arms, expecting a hug from his grandpa.

"G-G-G-G-Grandpa?" Spirit shouted. "I'm not that old brat! Who're you calling Gra - wait..."

Maka's book fell out of her hand and she stood there in shock. Soul felt himself freeze. Spirit started to put everything together, from the whit hair and sharp teeth, to the green eyes. Soul could almost see the flames coming out of Spirit's head.

"Soul..." Spirit growled like a monster holding an axe, ready to slaughter anything and anyone.

Soul cringed, "L-look, it's not what you think."

Spirit stood up and dropped the child carelessly. His red hair covered his eyes, preventing Soul from seeing his facial expressions. Soul started to panic when Spirit giggled to himself. Something was seriously wrong with him. "Can you... hold still for a second?"

Maka, who was making sure Max was alright, stared in shock, "Papa... you wouldn't..."

Soul backed away until his back was against the wall, "H-hold still?"

"Yes, hold still," Scythes suddenly appeared on Spirit's arms, knees, and back. "SO I CAN CUT YOU OPEN AND HANG YOUR HEAD ON THE WALL AS A TROPHY!" Spirit shouted, his face twisted in so many ways, but anger was very clear in his eyes.

'...This can't end well...' Soul thought to himself.
