I was crying. It's so dark, I'm terrified, almost midnight, I've never been out this late. Soul slowly walked up to me, and hugged me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you that much" he told soothingly.

"W-why did you do that?" I sobbed, he sighed and pulled away.

"Whenever there was a new kid at the house, we would chase him and scare him. Until they would fight back, to show how strong they are."

"So you d-decided to d-do that to m-me?" I asked with a stutter.

"Yes, it's a habit. I'm truly sorry though, I didn't mean to terrify you."

"Uh, do you know where we are?" He asked, I looked around, and shook my head. "Ah, right."

"You don't have your mobile do ya. Your-" "our mother must be worried" I cut him off.

"Haha, yeah. Well, should we walk this way until we find a path?" Soul asked, I nodded and smiled. So we started walking left of us.

Once we found a path, leading out of the forest, I looked at my digital watch, and saw it was 0:00.

I was so tired that I collapsed on the floor. After a while, I woke up and saw Soul sitting down next to me, with just a t-shirt on. He must be freezing. Where is his jacket? I lifted myself up, and noticed it was on me.

"You were shivering, so I gave you my jacket. You've been out a while. Oh, and you have a graze on your cheek from when you fell" he told. I thanked him and gave his jacket back. But the white haired boy shook his head.

"You keep it till we get home. You need it more than me" he said as he passed it back to me. I slowly got back up and put the yellow and black jacket on.

"Do you know where we are? And how long was I out for?" I asked, "we're more close to the cottage. And now it's 0:30. You've been out for half an hour."

We started walking towards the cottage silently. "One day" I started, "do you want to go to my apartment?"

He looked at me in shock. Then he hugged me, and kissed me on the forehead.

"Thanks for forgiving me. I'd love too" Soul then paused and took a step back. "I'm sorry, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Huh? Oh, the kiss, no, I don't have a boyfriend" I replied. "Seriously? How?"

"Nobody really likes me that much I guess" I shrugged and looked down. "Well I do."

I looked up to see his big toothy grin, with his eyes closed.

"Thanks. But you gotta promise not to chase Tsubaki or BlackStar" I told, "oh, I promise!" He exclaimed a bit childishly.

We both nodded and kept on walking. There was only about a quarter of a mile left until we reached the cottage. I looked at my watch and saw it was 1:00. Both of us yawned in sync, then we laughed.

"It's fun having a sister" he said. "It's fun having a brother. How old are you?"

"13 and a half, you?" I nodded and said "12."

"So you're my younger sister" he stated with a smirk, "yeah, and you're my older brother" I smiled.

We both laughed at that. "Do you want your jacket back?" "Nah, keep it, I'm not cold."

"Seriously Soul, take your jacket back" I told, he turned to me and ran behind me. I stopped in my tracks. Soul then put his hands on my shoulders.

"Keep it 'till we get back home, Maka" he whispered, sending a shiver down my spine. I gulped and nodded.

"Good" he smiled as he walked to my front. He then kissed me on my forehead again.

Soul isn't such a bad guy. Sure, he's a bit scary and all, well, terrifying when he wants to be. But generally a nice guy.

What ya think readers? This is my last chapter on "The Hunt". I did say it was gonna be a short story. So sorry for the short chapters.
