Author's Note : I am SO sorry I had taken such a break from this (exactly four years). I'm not going to lie, I have not been following Soul Eater much. I've gained a love for Naruto, so if you enjoy that anime you might be excited for my upcoming story. Please enjoy! Sorry it's a little rocky. I'm going to try to upload more frequently.
"Do we honestly have to go back? Do you know how much of a walk that is?" Jason grumbled, feeling the heat of the sun once again. Instantly he felt the darting stare of Kidd and Alina's eyes on his neck. "You know, we wouldn't even be out in the sun right now if you didn't get kidnapped!" Jason blared out, turning around to face the angered couple. "We weren't even half way in that damn pyramid and you were taken - what good are you to this team? Kidd, why can't you hold onto your damn weapon?"
Alina opened her mouth to speak right as Kidd took a step forward to Jason. "Last I recalled, you were the one who decided running into a battle empty handed was smart." Kidd's tongue began to spit back in rage. "Yeah, but we wouldn't be empty handed if you fucking knew how to hold onto a girl!" With each sentence that left their poisoned mouths, they would step closer to each other. Kidd stood shorter than Jason, Jason nearly a whole head taller than the symmetrical obsessed guy. "Seems like you hold onto too many girls, yet you can't even get Naomi to settle down with you."
Pop.
Jason's fist collided with Kidd's temple, Kidd taking the blow and falling down into the lava-like sand. "Jason!" Alina ran to her meister, cupping her hands against his, now red, face. "Are you okay? Oh it's all red..." With a roll of his eyes, Jason keeled down to meet Kidd. "Next time you want to talk shit-" Kidd took his swing, leaving a nice in print from his ring on Jason's skin. "Don't threaten me." Kidd's eyes burned a darker shade than they normally were as he locked eyes with Jason's.
"Knock. It. Off." Naomi growled from behind Jason. "You two need to grow the hell up. Alina, get up. If he wants to fight then let him." Naomi's voice was as stern as can be. "Going back to Professor Stein empty handed is enough of a beating, he sent us four because he knew we could handle it - but apparently we can't even handle traveling together. Get up you two. Learn to get along or we're going to have an issue, got it?"
The rest of the trip the couples traveled in complete silence. Alina held onto Kidd's pinky while she looked down at the ground, Jason staying a safe distance beside his angry partner. Naomi lead the pack back to the stairs of Shibusen, taking a deep sigh as she opened up the gate. "I don't even know what to tell Professor. We had a simple task.." Naomi trailed underneath her breath, her voice softer than a whisper.
As they opened the door, Stein turned around in his chair to face him. "Back so soon? It's almost as if you just walked there and walked back." Kidd and Jason walked infront of the girls, both holding the part of their face from where they struck each other. "Are you guys okay?"Naomi's eyes filled with dismay as she spoke, "We didn't finish the task. We barely even entered the place." Stein's eyebrow clocked up as curiosity rose inside him. "I.. I don't even know how to explain what happened, Professor. Alina got separated from the group so I went to save her. I don't know what happened to the guys. Then they got physical with each other. Sir, I don't even know what happened! You sent us because you thought we-" Naomi began to ramble on quicker and quicker until Jason's hand covered her moving mouth. "Bottom line, Sir, we just didn't do the assignment." Jason flashed a quick charming smile, "Won't happen again."
Stein leaned against his chair as he studied the four students in front of him. "Physical with each other, huh? Seems like until you guys can work as one, you will be finishing every assignment together. Go home and get some rest. Tomorrow you'll finish the task from today and a new one."
Naomi nodded and walked off, dragging her bummed out Meister with her. "If you just kept your hands to yourself, we wouldn't be in this problem Jason." Jason rolled his eyes and slid his hand to meet Naomi's. "Kidd brought you up, you know it's my job to protect you." It was moments like these that Jason's charm melted Naomi's heart of stone. Sadly, Naomi knew this wasn't the first time he would say this to a female tonight. Jason ran through females without remorse, he knew he can get his way with them.
Their hands were connected, but Naomi couldn't help but feel like there was an ocean between them. ".. Let's just go home .." They walked in silence through out the streets until they arrived at their apartment. Ever since they began their partnership, Naomi has lived with Jason. They don't sleep in the same bed nor room, but that doesn't stop Jason from crawling into Naomi's space early in the mornings.
"Jason?" Naomi whispered, kicking off her shoes at the door. Jason looked back at her in mid-yawn, already knowing what she was about to say. He placed one arm underneath her knee caps and another on her back, scooping his tiny weapon in his arms as he carried her to his room. "You never have to ask when you want to, you know that Naomi."
Author's Note : Hopefully you don't mind how rocky this chapter is or how the style changed. My writing style has grown slightly, obviously, over the years.
