"How did your date with Black*star go Tsubaki?" Maka asked, as they sat around Maka's room. The other girls were out playing basket-ball with the guys. Tsubaki clapped her hands together and sighed dreamily.

"He was such a gentleman!" Maka frowned.

"Black*star? A gentleman? Yeah right!" Tsubaki shook her head.

"No! He really was! He pulled out my chair and everything Maka!" Maka patted Tsubaki on the back as the older girl went into every little detail.

"What about yours?" Maka blinked.

"Huh?"

"You and Soul." Maka blushed lightly.

"It went ok." Tsubaki looked at her with interest.

"All we did was ask each other questions about our past...We were getting to know each other Tsubaki." Maka explained. Tsubaki shook her head.

"Soul has never done that to anyone in the gang or outside from what we know. Besides...Luna says that he's never had a girlfriend." Maka's eyes widened then she laughed.

"Really?" Maka exclaimed.

"Luna told us that he didn't find them interesting at all...But have you seen the way Soul looks at you Maka?" Tsubaki then noticed the light blush that graced Maka's cheeks.

"Anyways...Black*star has asked me out on another date." That seemed to get Maka out of her daze. She hugged Tsubaki tightly and congratulated her.

"When?"

"Tonight."

"But Tsubaki! Everyone else already has plans for tonight, who am I supposed to talk too?" Tsubaki pointed to Maka's book shelf.

"I've read them all so many times I don't even want to look at them." Maka shot that idea down. Tsubaki thought for a moment.

"Soul's not doing anything." Maka brightened up.

"Cool!"

"Have fun Tsubaki!" Maka called out as she waved. Tsubaki waved back as she clung to Black*star, who gassed the bike before speeding off down the road then turning sharply. Maka walked back into the mansion and stopped. She could hear someone playing the piano. Maka blinked and followed the sound. It led downstairs, in the basement. Maka made her way downstairs then walked down the hallway. She pressed the side of her head against a door then opened it quietly and closed it without making a sound. She managed to stop the gasp from becoming vocal when she saw who was playing. She had forgotten that he was staying behind. She watched as his played his dark melody. She walked up behind him and watched over his shoulder as his fingers danced across the ivory keys. When he finished she let her presence be known.

"That was really great." She saw him tense up then stand up, whipping around. Maka gasped saw him relax when he saw it was her. Maka then realized how close they were, their noses were inches apart.

"What are you doing down here?" Soul asked, clearly not bothered by their closeness.

"I...uh...heard someone playing...so I- I followed the sound." Maka managed to stutter out.

"You play great Soul." Maka added when he looked away. His eyes snapped back to meet hers.

"You have a...really shitty taste in music." Maka was about to give him a piece of her mind.

"Maybe that's why I love you." Maka blinked, as Soul looked away, the blush very noticeable on his cheeks.

"You weren't supposed to hear that," he finally said, blush still there, still looking away.

"I don't understand." Soul finally allowed his eyes to wander back to his secret love's face.

"I think I loved you when I met you." He let his fingers brush against her cheek lightly, causing her to shiver.

"This could not be happening." Maka thought as she felt the fluttering in her stomach when his fingers brushed her cheek.

"How do you know you love me?" Maka asked. Soul continued to look at her, his hand now running through her hair, untying them from their pig-tails, letting her hair fall down.

"I can't sleep without seeing you in my head. You're all I think about. I can't stand the thought about you getting hurt if we get attacked..."Soul seemed to stop, as if waiting for her rejection. Maka reached out and grabbed the hand that was running through her now down hair. She felt him tense slightly before she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against his chest in a silent acceptance as she didn't trust her voice. She felt him relax then after a few moments he ran his hands up her arms; Maka frowned and lifted her head to look at him. Soul cupped her face with his hands; he seemed hesitant before he pressed his lips against hers. Maka closed her mint green eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. He wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her closer to him as his tongue flickered against her lips, she parted her lips slightly but it was enough for him. He slid his tongue into her mouth, exploring her. Maka (not having any experience when it comes to romance for herself) decided to follow. He coaxed her tongue out to play and soon they were battling for dominance. Maka ran her tongue over his teeth and noticed that they were as sharp as they seemed. They broke apart and gazed at each other, both panting from lack of air. Soul gave her a quick but sweet kiss before he gave her his shark-toothed grin.

"Isn't that just sweet!" Both Maka and Soul turned towards the voice to see a green-haired beauty, standing beside a man with brown hair and a girl with silver-grey hair.

"It seems as if our little demon wolf has found a little she-wolf whore that he can fuck." Arisu commented as she leaned on the piano. Soul pushed Maka behind him, glaring at the three infront of them.

"Get the girl!" Arisu ordered. Free and Eureka nodded. Soul and Maka backed up, they were almost at the door when Maka pushed Soul to the side, they had both been so focused on Free and Eureka they hadn't noticed Arisu standing infront of the only way out of the room and had only just missed a slash from the dagger in her hands.

"Shit." Soul swore as Free lunged at them. Soul pushed Maka away as he and free locked in a fist-fight. Eureka ran up to Maka and threw a punch but was stopped by Maka.

"I guess all that training paid off." Maka said as she pushed Eureka, she then dropped down and swung her leg around, knocking Eureka off her feet.

"Keep it up Maka!" Soul called out as he dodged a punch from Free.

"Free get the girl! I'll take care of the freak." Arisu finally said, having had enough of the two boy's fight. Free jumped back and made his way over to eureka and Maka, with Eureka having some punches here and there as Maka dodges and struck. Soul tried to get to Maka but was blocked by Arisu.

"I'm your enemy now Soul Eater." Arisu sneered as she swung out her leg.

"Wha-?" Maka was confused. She had been stopped in mid-punch but Eureka hadn't moved. Maka was then slammed against the floor. She felt someone grab her arms and bring them behind her back, they tied her wrists up. She was yanked back up. Maka then saw the man.

"Let me go you Asshole!" Maka shrieked. She was smacked at the back of her head then she saw Soul and Arisu. Arisu had him in a headlock then before she could blink. Arisu had reached behind his neck and pressed. Soul's body went limp in Arisu's hold.

"Soul!" Maka called out as she watched Arisu let him go. Maka was thrown over Free's shoulder when she tried to rip out of his grip.

"Get her in the van!" Arisu barked out. Free and Eureka mumbled something before storming out of the room with a raging Maka. Arisu waited for a few moments before she dropped a note infront of Soul. She then looked the room over...and walked out...
