"Maka!" Kaido complained loudly as the 5 girls laid around the living room. Maka glanced at Kaido; the girls were all wearing tank tops and mini shorts as it was scorching outside.
"What?" Maka lifted her head off the arm of the couch she and Willow were occupying.
"I'm hot!" Kaido said slowly, her eyes closed, an arm over her eyes. Maka sighed. Anna then walked into the living room wearing a two-piece swim suit.
"What are you doing Anna?" Luna asked.
"I'm going swimming in the pool." Anna said quickly before dashing out. They heard the splash of water then Maka glared at the 3 girls.
"You had a pool?" Kaido rubbed the back of her head.
"I guess we forgot." Willow face-palmed herself. Kaido stood up then grabbed Maka's hand, pulling her up.
"You can wear one of mine if you want. We should be the same size." Kaido said as she dragged the poor ash-blonde haired girl away, Willow and Luna chuckling behind them.
"Come on Maka!" Kaido shouted from the hall. She had been waiting for 15 minutes for Maka.
"I'm not wearing this out there!" Maka shouted back.
"What's going on?" Kaido turned to see Soul. She pointed at her closed bedroom door.
"Maka won't come out!" Soul frowned.
"You go down to the pool Kaido. I'll try and get her out." Kaido sighed with relief.
"You're the best man!" Kaido then dashed off. Soul knocked on the door.
"Maka?" He listened quietly. He could hear her moving around the room. He knocked louder this time.
"Maka!"
"What!" He smirked. She sounded pissed off.
"Come on out already!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Because!"
"If you don't come out...I'll come in and drag you out!" there was a moment of silence.
"You wouldn't dare." Soul sighed before looking down the hall; he saw the drawer further down and went over to it. He opened the top part of the drawer and fished out a thin metal sheet. He went back to Kaido's door and gave Maka a warning.
"I'm giving you 1 more chance Maka!" He heard her release her breath.
"Go away!" Soul slid the metal sheet through the crack of Kaido's door; he slid it down slowly before hearing a faint click. He ripped open the door and stepped in the stopped. Maka turned around and froze. Soul blinked his crimson-red eyes. Maka wore a two piece swimsuit. The top part was a red, much like his eyes with black zigzags running in the middle. The bottoms were then red on the top then black at the bottom. His eyes flickered down her body. Her hair was down, cascading down her back nicely, soft creamy skin and legs that went for miles. Soul then flickered his gaze back up to see her expression. A light blush covered her cheeks as she stood there; her own eyes had looked his body over. Soul wore red swimming trunks, tan skin and a well defined body didn't help Maka out either. She frowned slightly as she noticed a scar that ran from the top of his chest to his hip.
"I told you I'd come in if you didn't leave." Soul told her, trying to break the silence. Maka snapped.
"Get out!" Maka picked up the closest book and chucked it at him. Soul dodged it...but just barely. He glared at her which she met with her own glare. That was a first...Someone fighting back with him.
"Let's go." Maka scowled.
"No." Soul frowned then without warning he threw her over his shoulder and left Kaido's room, Maka was now hitting his back, desperately trying to escape from his hold. They made it outside where everyone turned to see what the yelling and threats were about, before chuckling at the scene.
"Put me down you idiotic bastard!" Soul's eye twitched slightly.
"Shut-up would you woman?" Soul snapped as they neared the pool.
"Fuck you!" Everyone froze and stared at the girl. No one back-talked Soul Evans. Soul stopped, Maka glanced over her shoulder at him then shrieked when she was thrown into the water. She hit the water then swam back up, coughing and glaring at him. Soul smirked at her before he was pushed in. Maka closed her eyes as he fell into the water; he came up moments later and turned towards the one who pushed him in.
"Luna!" Luna stuck out her tongue.
"You don't mess with my girls Soul!" Luna warned him playfully before helping Maka out of the water.
The rest of the morning was alright, Maka stayed at the back of the Wolves, watching from the chair she sat in as they splashed each other. As the day wore on, turning into afternoon, Maka couldn't keep her eyes open anymore as she fell asleep. Kaido tapped Soul on the shoulder before tilting her head towards Maka.
"Fine." Soul sighed before walking towards the sleeping girl. He picked her up carefully, an arm under her knees and the other arm under her back, her head resting against his chest. He left the others unnoticed except by Kaido and Tsubaki who smiled at each other.
Maka stretched out her arms as she opened her eyes. She stared up at the ceiling, noticing the red and black theme of the room.
"You're up." Maka bolted up in a sitting position and looked to her right. Soul was lying on his couch, looking at her. Maka studied him for a moment before dropping back down onto the pillows. Soul frowned.
"Hey! Don't you dare fall back asleep!" Maka sighed.
"But I'm tired..." She mumbled. Soul blinked then got up and stood beside his bed, watching her, he thought for a moment before sliding into the bed with her. She opened her eyes to met crimson-red ones. She then noticed that she was wearing a baggy T-shirt along with a pair of shorts. Maka glared at him.
"What the hell-" Soul stopped her.
"I got Tsubaki to change you...I want my shirt back after." Soul muttered. Maka sighed before closing her eyes again, falling into a peaceful slumber...
"Do you know where Soul is?" Kaido and Tsubaki asked Anna, who nodded.
"In his room." The two then left the technician girl alone as they headed upstairs. Kaido quietly opened his door and stopped, pointing to his bed. Tsubaki's eyes widened then she and Kaido smiled. Soul had an arm wrapped around Maka waist; Maka was resting her head on his other arm. Even though he was asleep he held a possessive aura around him.
"Tsubaki...I have an idea." Kaido grinned. Tsubaki looked at her friend then sighed.
"Not another plan Kaido!"
