Lost Keys
Chapter 7
(Love is War - part 2)
Spirit launched himself at Soul with his scythe, but Soul ducked down just in time. Spirit's scythe stabbed the wall instead.
"Look, old man, just... just let me explain..." Soul felt his sweat drop.
Death Scythe yanked his scythe out of the wall and swung at Soul repeatedly like a crazy maniac. "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY ANGEL!" Spirit cried out. When Soul took a step back he saved himself from getting cut by Spirit, doing his best to dodge the hits. Soul turned his arm into a scythe and blocked Spirit's attacks. Spirit noticed that Soul was using his scythe as a shield, and wasn't fighting back.
"Fight like a man you coward!" Spirit thrusted his scythe upwards at Soul's scythe arm, causing Soul's scythe-arm to fling upwards. Spirit took the chance and kicked Soul powerfully in the stomach. Soul was sent flying across the room, into the kitchen and hit the kitchen cabinets, destroying them.
Soul emerged from a pail of broken dishes, rubbing his head in pain. He heard a loud screech and looked up to find Spirit swinging his scythe at him. Soul closed his eyes in panic and waited for the blow only to feel strong wind brush his skin. He opened his eyes to see Spirit's scythe was between his legs, stabbing the kitchen floor underneath. Soul sighed in relief. Spirit had accidentally hit the floor, and not his target. But his scythe was very close to cutting Soul in half. Spirit swung his other arm at him, but Soul blocked it with his own scythe-arm just in time.
"You! How dare you! My angel! MY POOR ANGEL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! Kill – you! I – will! You –die! Die! WWHHAAAA!" Spirit screamed, with tears and snot running down his face. Snorting and hiccuping between every word.
"Old man, I have no idea what you just said!" Soul growled and managed to quickly move away. Both Soul and Spirit charged at each other, but were interrupted by a more fears attack.
"Maka-Chop!"
"Do you understand now, Papa?" Maka scolded her father, who was on the couch with an icepack on his head and crying from the throbbing pain.
"Y-yes…" Spirit sniffed, "Papa didn't know m-my angel was just looking after the brat. Will you f-forgive Papa?" he sniffed again, with eyes filled with tears.
"Only if you pay for the damage you've done to our apartment." Maka held out her hand, waiting for him to pay. Spirit reached his hand in his pocket, yanked out his wallet and pulled out more than enough money. His daughter kicked him out right after he gave her the money.
On another couch was Soul holding an icepack on his head, growling loudly. "Why did you hit me too?"
"You were about to hit Papa, I had to stop you." Maka said simply.
Soul heard Max giggle next to him, "What's so funny?" Soul growled.
"Grandpa's funny." Max said.
'Well, Mr. Funny Grandpa was about to kill me!' Soul thought to himself. He was about to get killed, and the brat was laughing!
When Soul removed the icepack from his head, exposing the bump on his head, Max laughed louder, finding what the Maka-Chop had left behind funny.
'Oh, I'll give you something to laugh about…'
When Maka left to check on the noodles in the kitchen, Soul took his chance. He picked out a piece of ice from the icepack and hid it in his palm.
"Hay kid, what's that!" When Max looked at where Soul was pointing, Soul slipped the ice down the back of Max's shirt. Soul laughed out loud when Max started jumping like a dog that caught fleas. Soul wiped away a tear from his eye. "Always wanted to do that!" he laughed harder as the poor boy struggled to get the cold ice out.
"Now that's cool! Hahaha – !"
"Maka-Chop!"
Soul sighed, holding two icepacks on his head, "Not cool…"
"Bullying kids isn't cool ether, Soul." Maka said as she managed to get the ice out from underneath Max's shirt. "Go and wait for me in my room, Max. I'll bring you something to eat soon."
"Can't I eat here?"
"No, Max. I want you to eat and go to sleep, so wait in my room."
"But I'm not tired." Max pouted.
Maka playfully tackled Max to the couch, lifted open his shirt and tickled his belly, which made him giggle and kick furiously.
"M- Ms. Maka!" Max giggled childishly.
Maka stopped and noticed him tack deep breathes, "Tired yet?" She asked playfully. He nodded, too tired to talk. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before she watched him run to her room. She looked at Soul and noticed him squeezing the icepack in his hands tightly.
"What's wrong, Soul?"
"Nothing." He shrugged.
She sighed and sat down next to him, "You haven't been yourself ever sense we found Max. Is something about him bothering you?"
"Not really." He lied. He had a lot of questions about this boy. Even if he knew the answers to those questions, they seemed unreal to him.
"Soul, do you trust me?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Then tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong."
She sighed heavily, "Fine, be that way." She stood up from the couch and grabbed a cup of noodles from the table before kneeling down to his face, "But Soul,"
He suddenly felt her soft lips touch his forehead. His eyes widened when he realized what had happened. She smiled sweetly at him, "Just because I care about him, that doesn't mean I don't care about you." She whispered before heading back to her room with a cup of noodles to feed Max, leaving Soul stunned, still wondering if it was a dream.
"Lady Blue," A deep, monstrous voice growled.
"Yes?"
"We've checked all of the children we have, none of them match what we're looking for."
"Double check then… Look for any marks on them, strip search them."
"Lady Blue, we've already done that more than once."
"Send out the hounds, all of them. Search every part of Death City."
"Yes Lady Blue."
"And don't disappoint me."
"…Yes Lady Blue."
