Soul: You're not gonna like it...
Maka: ...

Chapter 11: The Kiss
Soul's POV_
I was chillin' in my apartment watchin' some TV when all of a sudden I got a text from Maka saying she's gonna be home late. Great, I thought to myself, Now I have to eat left overs. I was about to enter the kitchen when out of no where the door opened. At first, I assumed it was Maka. But wait, Maka said she'd come home late today. I looked toward door and saw that it was Liz.
"Liz," I was confused, "What're you doin' here?"
"Just let me in and I'll explain," she replied. I let her come in and gave her some food. We sat down on the couch.
"Soo, wassup?" I asked.
"Like you don't know," she sounded like she was about to cry.
"Huh?" I was confused again.
"It's... Kid," she cried.
"What'd he do?" I asked.
"Maka..." she replied.
"WHAT? THEY DID IT?!" I shouted.
"No! At least, I don't think so... I hope not..." She stuttered.
"Oh good," I replied, "Then what happened?"
"I found this," she held up a notebook, "In Kid's room."
"A diary," I tried not to laugh.
"Look here," she opened it, "It says... It says they were making out..."
"WHAT?" I shouted again, looking at the notebook. She nodded. "But she didn't even tell me! Wait, are you sure that it was Maka? Because this really doesn't sound like her..."
"Yes, look right here. It says Maka," she pointed, "And that's all I know for certain... There could be more that they're not telling us about..."
"But she... she wouldn't do that... she would tell me I'm her weapon partner!" I raged.
"Yeah I felt the same way with Kid..." She looked down.
"D*mn" I looked at her.
"Soul..." She looked at me.
"Liz?" I was confused. She leaned in and kissed me. I didn't know exactly what was happening at first, but then I was able to break it up.
"What're you doing?" I asked.
"Well, we both don't have a chance to be with our meisters, so I thought...-"
Soul cut her off, saying, "Wait... who says I like Maka that way?"
"Then why'd you break the kiss?" She asked me.
"Good point..." I stuttered. OK I'm not sure what's going on, but kissing her definitely feels wrong... She kissed me again, but this time, I couldn't stop her. I didn't stop her. I started to fall right into the moment. Trying to stop myself, I heard keys from outside. I couldn't get out of this situation. D*mnit!
Maka's POV_
I turned the key and opened the door to find Liz making out with Soul...
"Oh hey Liz," I said, calmly at first, but then I realized, "Wait... Liz?!"
"Maka," she frowned at me.
"S-S-Soul..." My hands shook as I dropped the keys to the floor.
"Maka, it's not what you're thinking, she got on top of me!" he shouted.
"Tell me... Is this true?" Liz looked at me, still frowning. She threw the notebook down at my feet. I picked it up and read it. I felt tears come to my eyes, and I surrendered. I nodded.
"Maka! Why didn't you tell me about this?!" Soul yelled.
"Let me explain," I started.
"Yeah," Liz said, "Please... do.." I gave her a sorry look but she returned it with a glare. I sat down on the floor.
"Kid called me over to his house one night, and... And then he told me he loved you," I pointed to Liz, "But he didn't know what to say or what to do, so I told him... I told him what I'd want a guy to do if he confessed to me..."
"And that would be?" Liz asked, still glaring. Soul kept staring at me, I think he was hurt.
"Did he take you up to a balcony, flatter you and then kiss you?" I asked.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" She looked at me funny.
"That's exactly what I told him... But he was afraid... afraid that he wasn't good enough for you... He wanted the night to be perfect, and then he asked me to kiss him... And... and we kissed, only for a few seconds... But only because he wanted to make you happy," I started to cry, "he wanted to make sure it was perfect because he's never kissed a girl before in his entire life! He was afraid of being a bad kisser..."
"Maka..." Liz started to look at me feeling sorry.
"Don't," I stopped her from talking, "just go back to what you're doing..." My hair hung in my face as I looked down. I slowly stood up and continued, "I'm sure payback is exactly what you need to fix your relationship with Kid," I said sarcastically.
"Maka, I-" she started, but I cut her off, "Huh... once he figures out what you two did, he'll feel like hell... 'cause that's how I feel," I said as I walked to my room with my head down. I closed the door slowly behind me.
Normal POV_
"I think you should go," Soul said. Liz nodded her head and left. Soul went up to Maka's door and knocked on it.
"Maka let me in," he said. There was no reply. "MAKA!" He shouted.
"GO AWAY!" she cried. Her face was already wet with tears.
"Maka I need to talk to you!" He replied.
"No! Can't you see I'm busy?!" she sobbed.
"No, actually I CAN'T see you at ALL!" he shouted louder, "just let me in!" He tried to open the door but it was locked. She unlocked it and jumped out her window. He opened it up and saw the window wide open. "Maka no!" He jumped out and chased after her. Soon enough he caught up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Maka!" he shouted, "What are you doing? This is so uncool!"
"Leave me alone! I don't care!" she cried.
"Never," he replied, "I'm your weapon partner, and I need you." She slowly turned around.
"Soul..." she cried. He hugged her.
"Maka.."
They headed back to their apartment. Maka managed to say something, "I'm still mad at you," she said.
"What? Why?!" he shouted.
"Because I am!" She replied.
"This is so uncool," he pouted. They got inside and Maka went to sleep. Soul stayed up, staring at his ceiling. All of a sudden, he got a great idea. Wait.. When Maka needed to tell me something, but couldn't face me by herself, she sung to me through the door... Maybe, maybe I could sing to her... But I'm gonna need some help. The spring dance is coming up too. I'm sorry Maka, but you are going to the spring dance!
Soul stood up and called Kid.
"Hello?" Kid answered.
"Hey Kid," Soul said, "Can you play an instrument?"
"Electric guitar, why?" Kid asked.
"Because I need you. I want to ask Maka out to the Spring Dance, but she's mad at me. So I need to woo her with a song," he replied.
"Oh, ok," he said, "Wait why is she mad at you?"
"Liz can explain that when she gets home," Soul said, "And by the way, I know what you and Maka did."
"What?" Kid asked, "How?"
"Liz," Soul answered, "And it's cool bro, just don't ever touch my meister again, you hear me?"
"Yes, I'm sorry Soul, I was just nervous," He said.
"Yeah I don't really wanna hear it," Soul replied, "Just come over here with your guitar."
"Um, ok," He said. They hung up and Soul called Black*star.
"Hey Soul, wassup?" Black*star said.
"Can you play an instrument?" Soul asked.
"Yeah, me and Tsubaki both play instruments. Me on drums, of course, because they're the loudest, and a god like me deserves to have a loud instrument. And Tsubaki can play the violin. Wait... why are you asking me this?" he asked.
"Because I need you to play with me," Soul replied, "It's about Maka. She's mad at me and I need to woo her with music."
"Um, ok, anything you say bro" Black*star said.
"Cool, can you meet me at my house with your instruments?" Soul asked.
"Yeah," he said, "I'll be there in a bit."
"Cool," he replied, "I'll see ya."
They hung up, and soon enough everyone was the front yard. They tried to be the farthest from Maka possible so that she wouldn't wake up or hear them. They also told Blaire to keep her company so she wouldn't leave her room. They all practiced their hearts out...
Meanwhile, in Maka's room... Maka's POV_
"I can't believe Soul would do that to me," I said to myself.
"Do what?" I heard a voice from outside my window.
"Hello? Who's there?" I looked around, and then I looked at my window.
"It's Blaire," she laughed, "Who else would it be?"
"Oh right," I said.
"So what happened?" she asked.
"It's nothing," I replied.
"Come on! Tell me! Please!" She begged.
"Fine.. It's Soul... He kissed Liz..." I said.
"Oh wow," she replied, "Never thought that would happen."
"But he did apologize, and he also said it was her fault," I said.
"Hmm, I don't know about you, but I would believe my weapon partner over anyone else... If I had one.." Blaire said.
"You're right," I replied.
"Yup," she smiled.
"Thanks Blaire," I said.
"No problem! So can I come inside now?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, sure," I said.
"Cool." She came in.
"Hey Blaire..." I said.
"Yeah?" She looked at me.
"Can I tell you something?" I asked.
"Sure go ahead," she smirked.
"Ever since I first met you, I've ... never really liked you... but now, I realized I was just jealous of you... I'm proud to call you my friend," I said.
"Oh, I already knew that!" she laughed, "But I'm proud to call you my friend too, Maka! You're so strong and brave. I admire you, and the fact you have a weapon partner, it actually makes me jealous! It sounds like so much fun."
"Believe me, it can be tough having a weapon partner, but I wouldn't trade Soul in for anyone in the entire world," I smiled.
"That's good, because he feels the same," she said.
"He does? How would you know?" I asked.
"What? Oh, umm... he told me, a few days ago. He said... Umm, 'I think Maka is awesome, and I would hate myself if I ever hurt her'" she faked.
"Really, he said that?" I looked at her.
"Umm, yeahh..." She stuttered.
"I should go apologize to him," I was about to leave when she pulled me back.
"NO!" she shouted.
"What?" I was confused, "Why not?"
"Because.. because... he's sleeping!" she said.
"Oh, well then I'll apologize to him in the morning," I smiled. All of a sudden, I got really tired. The last words I heard were, Blaire's words...
Blaire's POV_
"Pum pum, pum pum pumkin! Sleep Maka, sleep." I said, putting a spell over her that would last hours. "There," I smirked. For once in my life, I felt like I actually did something good.
MusicMaker87: Aww Blaire's so sweet. :3 This one was juicy! Now, all Soul has to do is sing to her! Sorry, I'm obsessed with music, hence MusicMaker87, but it's still sweet :) Anyways, stay tuned to hear Soul sing to Maka from his heart! (No pun intended). Will Maka go to the dance with him? Will she finally confess her feelings for him? What will happen with Liz and Kid? So far the perfect relationship award goes to Tsubaki and Black*star!
Black*star: I knew we were special!
Tsubaki: Oh, Black*star...
Maka: Ugh, Soul, I'm still mad at you!
Soul: Hey, I'm gonna make up for it, ok?
Maka: You better.
MusicMaker87: So yeah! Keep reading! Thanks for all the reviews and stuff! See you in chapter twelve :3
