Soul p.o.v.
I can't believe it. She said yes. She actually said yes. Is this a dream? This has to be a dream. I pinch my arm just to make sure. No, this is real.
"Soul?" Maka asks, pulling me away from my thoughts. Her and I are still standing in front of our apartment room staircase, holding hands.
"Sorry, what did you say?" I ask awkwardly.
"I said, maybe we should go inside and get some rest." She replies.
"Oh yeah" I say. She lets go of my hands and walks up the stairs first and I follow behind. She unlocks the door and we walk inside.
"Goodnight" She says before going into her room.
"Goodnight" I reply. I head into my room and shut the door. I strip down and put on my pajama shirt and shorts and hop onto my bed. Suddenly, I feel someone hop onto me. I open my eyes and see a woman wearing a black dress and a witch hat kneeling on top of me.
"Ooh, you're cute" She says. She leans forward so that her breasts are right in my face.
"AGH!" I yell. I hear the door open and the woman gets knocked off of me.
"Blair! What are you doing here and what the hell are you doing to Soul?!" She yells.
"You know her?" I ask in confusion.
"You're daddy wants me to keep an eye on you so he asked me to come live with you guys. Isn't that great?" She replies with joy. Maka pulls out her book and me and Blair both shiver with fear. Maka hits Blair with the book and Blair runs out of my room. Maka chases after her until she leaves our apartment. I get out of bed and stand next to Maka who is steaming with anger.
"Are you ok?" I ask her. She takes a deep breath and drops the book.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little frustrated. First, my dad almost asks Lord Death to make me stay with him, then he asks his main client to keep an eye on us, then she rubs her boobs in my partners face!" She yells throwing her arms into the air. I put a hand on her shoulder and she takes another deep breath.
"Sorry Soul" She says, turning to me.
"Its all good. It was a little weird having someone rub there boobs in my face." I reply. She rubs her head.
"Yeah, she does that whenever she sees a cute guy." She says before her face turns red.
"You think I'm cute?" I ask.
"No I didn't say that. I mean, I'm not saying you're NOT cute, but I'm also, uh, I mean, um, good night!" She yells before running back into her room and slamming the door. I chuckle to myself and knock on her door. She awkwardly opens the door.
"Just to let you know, I think you're pretty cute." I say before kissing her forehead. She blushes before shutting her door. I turn around and head back to my room and go to sleep.
...
I stand face to face with a giant Kishin as he licks his lips. Maka stands next to me with no fear.
"Stand back children" The beast snarls. "Unless you want to be killed"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but we're going to take you down and take your soul" Says Maka. "Soul, turn into your weapon"
I smile as I crack my knuckles.
"This is going to be fun" I say before turning into a scythe, or so I think. I stand awkwardly in my normal, human form as I keep trying to turn myself into a weapon.
"Soul?" Maka asks as the monster inches closer to us.
"Why won't I turn into a weapon?" I ask with frustration. The Kishin suddenly jumps onto Maka and pins her to the ground.
"SOUL!" she screams at the top of her lungs. The beast turns into Hannah, holding a knife to Maka's chest.
"Soul is mine!" Hannah yells before plunging the knife into Maka's skin. Hannah disappears and blood streams out of Maka. She screams in pain. I kneel next to her, trying to stop the bleeding with my hands but that seems to just make her bleed even more. The bleeding suddenly stops and Maka stop moving. I shake her shoulder and she doesn't even flinch.
"Its all your fault" A voice whispers into my ear. I turn and see my friends standing behind me. Their eyes are black misty, as if they are non-existent.
"No, I didn't-"
"You hurt my little girl" A voice interrupts. I turn around and see Maka's father standing on the other side of me. I look down and notice a bloody knife in my hand.
"No, it wasn't me." I say. Everyone starts to say "Its your fault" and they slowly get louder and louder. Their screaming voices booming through my eardrums, causing me to start screaming. Maka's dead eyes look at me as her mouth forms the word "Soul"
...
"Soul!"
"Aah!" I yell, shooting into a sitting position. Maka stands next to my bed with fear in her eyes.
"Are you ok? I heard you screaming so I decided to check on you. Were you having a bad dream?" She asks with concern.
"Yeah, I was. Don't worry about me, I'm fine." I reply, rubbing the back of my head.
"Are you sure?" She asks, putting her hands on my shoulders. I look up at her and her green eyes shine in the sunlight that is peeking through my window. I sigh.
"Yeah, I'm good."
"Good. I made bacon and eggs for breakfast." She says, leaving my room.
"Sweet" I say before pushing the blankets off of my body and head for the kitchen. I sit at the table and Maka hands me a plate with two eggs and two pieces of bacon.
"Thanks" I say as she sits across from me.
"So what was your dream about?" She asks before taking a bite from her bacon.
"Well, um, it was about you"
"Me?" She asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, you got hurt and, well, died and everyone thought I did it."
"Are you serious? I had the same dream! Did the dream start with you and me facing a Kishin?"
"Yeah and I couldn't turn into a weapon-"
"And so the Kishin attacked me-"
"And suddenly it turned into Hannah who stabbed you-"
"Causing me to bleed to death. I woke up after I died so I don't know what happened next."
"Well, all our friends and your dad blamed me for killing you and they started screaming."
"That's so weird that we had the exact same dream." She says smiling. "I guess our souls are more connected than we thought"
"I guess so" I say before eating some of my eggs.
...
We sit in homeroom and, as everyday, the girls gather together in their group and me, Black Star, and Kid stand together.
"So are you going to take any girls to the dance?" Kid asks Black Star.
"Nah, I'll probably just hang with you guys" Black Star replies.
"But, we both have dates to the dance." I say. The guys both turn to me.
"You have a date?" Kid asks.
"Yeah, Maka" I reply. Black Star crosses his arms and smiles.
"You finally asked her out, huh?"
"Yeah, and she said yes, so I'm pretty proud of myself. Anyways, you should go to the dance with Tsubaki"
"Well, I thought of that, but she's a really pretty girl and will probably end up going with someone else."
"Or you like Tsubaki but you're too afraid to admit it" I say.
"What? I'm not afraid of anything! I'm the biggest star in the entire school and I'm not scared of anyone or anything!"
"Prove it" Says Kid. Black Star marches to the girls group.
"Tsubaki, will you go to the dance with me?" He asks. Her face turns red and she smiles.
"Ok, sure" She says with joy. Her and the girls start squeeling as the huddle into there group again. Why are girls so weird? Black Star walks back to us.
"So, Mr. Bravest man in school, was that as easy as you thought?" I ask Black Star.
"I was not expecting the squeeling" He replies, sticking a finger in his ear.
...
The lunch bell rings and I walk down the hallway to my locker.
"Hello Soul" A voice says. I turn and see the nurse standing behind me.
"Hi nurse Medusa." I say.
"Hello Soul. I was wondering, how is Maka's injury?"
"Healing nicely, I guess. She's walking a bit better but she isn't quite able to run yet."
"Thats great. Could you do me a favor and give her these pills? I forgot to give them to her the last time I saw her." She says before handing me a paper bag.
"Sure" I say, grabbing the bag.
"Have a nice day" She says before walking off. I open the bag and look at the pills. They are medium sized ovals that are dark black. I've never seen pills like that before in my entire life. I pull out a pill and squeeze it with my fingers. The pill basically explodes and drips down my hand. I smell it and it smells an awful lot like blood. Once the liquid drips from my hand and hits the floor, it hardens like stone.
"What you got there?" Dr. Stein asks, walking towards me.
"Nurse Medusa gave me this medicine to give Maka and it smells like blood, but its black. And when it hits the ground, it turns hard like a rock. Do you know what this is?" I ask him. Stein grabs the bag from my hand and quickly wipes my hand with a cloth.
"Come to my office after school, and do NOT give Maka these things, they are not pills"
"What are they?"
He leans in close to my ear.
"Black blood"
