Okay, so you're gonna hate me a little for this chapter, but I wanted to add a little turmoil to this before I reveal what happens next. I've been working on my summer work, but I end up working on this before anything. So here's chapter 5.
Chapter 5 - Long Lost Siblings and Apologies for the Books.
Maka woke up to the sound of someone screaming. She walked to the hallway and heard the scream again. She ran down the hallway and threw open the balcony doors on the second floor and ran to the edge. She looked down to see an albino male with glowing red eyes and a bottle of whiskey in his hand screaming bloody murder.
"MAKA!" He screamed "THIS IS WHAT YOU LEFT ME FOR!?"
"Go home, Soul!" She yelled.
"MAKA! COME HOME, YOU DUMB BITCH!"
Maka sighed and walked back inside and shut the doors, locking them and checking to make sure. She walked down stairs and checked the front door and the security system. Maka walked back upstairs and shut the door to Kid's room before climbing back into bed with Kid.
"Hey, where'd you go?" Kid asked, opening his eyes slowly.
"Soul's by the main gate screaming like Hell." Maka cuddled up against Kid's chest.
"Should I call the cops?" Kid asked.
"No. He'll leave eventually. He's drunk." Maka looked at the clock. "It's 5AM..." Maka glared in the direction of the screaming bastard beyond the gate.
"Baby, come sleep for another hour or two." Kid lovingly wrapped his arms around her and kissed the back of her neck.
"I can't sleep now," She got out of bed and went downstairs. Kid got up and followed suit. "You want something in particular for breakfast?" Maka stared at Kid, still sleepy.
"Not really." Maka dropped a spoon on the floor and stared at it blankly. Her eyes were a little watery from yawning. She was always like this when she woke up before her alarm clock rang. She blinked a few times before bending down and picking up the spoon. "Hey, you sure you're okay to cook?"
"I'm fine," Maka stared at the spoon. She looked so cute. She was wearing one of Kid's black t-shirts that was too big for him and her. It stopped halfway down her thigh. Kid looked at the hem of his shirt and blushed a little.
"Here, love, let me." Kid let Maka sit down with her spoon and started making pancakes. He served two to Maka and handed her the butter and the syrup, making sure it was symmetrical to Maka's plate.
"Thanks." Maka smiled, waking up a little.
"Anytime, babe." Kid kissed her on the forehead and sat down next to her. They are their breakfast laughing together, not being anything but happy. Maka made jokes that turned out wrong, and Kid made comments on how asymmetrical some of the teachers were at the D.W.M.A.
"It's nearly 6." Maka pointed out.
"Yeah, go get ready. I'll buy drinks."
"I'm driving!" Maka yelled from the second floor's indoor balcony.
"Can you two shut it!?" Liz walked out of her room, hair disheveled, giraffe in hand. "Geez, school doesn't start until 8."
"Yeah, but we want drinks at Deathbucks." Maka poked Liz's shoulder, happily skipping off to Kid's room.
"Seems like the Black Blood Princess woke up..." Liz muttered.
"Shut up, Liz." Maka glared.
"What? It's true. Your blood is black." Liz said, slamming her door. Patty was buried under giraffes, so Liz decided to leave it. She didn't want to go through the effort of trying to find her. Liz sat on a giraffe, unable to sleep.
Maka went to her side of the room and picked out fishnet tights, black high top Converse, a red plaid mini skirt with a chain on the right side, a black tank top tucked into the skirt, and stole one of Kid's sweatshirts with a skull on the back. It was big on her, but it looked good. She twisted her hair to one side, left it loose, and put her hood on. She grabbed her satchel and phone before running downstairs and grabbing the keys before Kid could reach them. Kid walked down in black jeans, Converse, and a regular black t-shirt.
"All black?" Maka asked.
"Well, I didn't want to wear any other color." Kid looked at Maka and kissed her on the forehead. "You look beautiful."
Maka blushed a bright red. Kid noticed and giggled. Maka's big green eyes sparkled in the morning light. Kid loved her eyes. The most beautiful things he's ever seen.
"Ready?" Maka asked.
"Should we take Liz and Patty?" Kid wondered. Before Maka could answer, Kid turned around and yelled back "LIZ! PATTY! WE'RE LEAVING NOW! IF YOU WANT A RIDE, HURRY UP!"
"Hurry!" They both mouthed to each other. They jumped in Kid's car and started the engine. Liz and Patty ran downstairs in the clothes they wore yesterday(their normal uniform) and ran to catch Maka who was speeding off. Maka stopped the car and reversed to pick them up. The twins jumped in the car and they were off.
"Deathbucks?" Kid asked.
"Sounds great." Liz asked. "We can fit two more, right?"
"Which two?" Maka looked in the mirror and eyed them suspiciously.
"Tsubaki and Blackstar." Patty chimed in.
"Um.. No?" Maka looked at them.
"We can stick Blackstar in the trunk." Kid leaned over to Maka.
"Oh, sure. We have room!" Maka turned down Tsubaki's street and ran up to the door.
"Hey, Maka. What's up?" Tsubaki smiled warmly.
"Want a ride?" Maka asked.
"Sure! Let me get Blackstar." Tsubaki ran to get the blue haired "assassin" out of bed.
"Sup Maka! Couldn't stay away from a god like me?!" He laughed whole heartedly. He tenderly held up a hand to Maka's cheek and caressed it gently with his fingertips. "I'm gonna fucking kill Soul..." Blackstar muttered.
"Did you get taller overnight?" Maka asked to Blackstar.
"Maybe you're just short."
"But my legs are long!"
"Okay, so we're just tall. You can never surpass a god like me!"
"Uh huh..." Maka popped the trunk and shoved a whining Blackstar in there.
"Will he be okay?" Tsubaki said, being motherly.
"Yeah, why not? He's a god, right?" Maka joked. "The trunk is climate controlled."
"Oh. Okay." Tsubaki smiled.
"Deathbucks sound good?" Maka asked Tsubaki.
"I WANT DEATHBUCKS!" Blackstar screamed.
"Hey Tsubaki!" Liz gave her friend a hug and sat in the middle.
"Hey Liz, Patty."
"Wanna hold my giraffe?" Patty held out a mini giraffe and Tsubaki held it with care, as if it was real.
"Tsubaki, did you hear?" Liz turned to start gossiping.
"Hear what?"
"Maka's getting a new partner."
"You're joking!" Tsubaki's mouth dropped. "I thought she'd help Soul finish."
"Maka was the one who requested a new partner. I guess she doesn't want anything to do with him."
"HELLO!? I'm right HERE!" Maka looked back.
"Oh, yeah..." Liz looked up at the sky.
"Sorry." Tsubaki petted the fake giraffe. Maka's phone started ringing.
"Kyle?" Kid said, pulling out Maka's phone from her bag and showing it to her.
"My brother! Oh Lord Death, Kyle!"
"You have a brother?" Kid looked at her.
"Not biological." Maka connected her phone to the bluetooth and answered the call.
"Sup Kyle?" Maka answered.
"Hiya, sis!" Kyle said with a cheery voice. "I was wondering if you'd like to hang out for a bit."
"Aren't you in Europe?"
"No, I'm right here."
Maka pulled up to the school and saw her brother standing on the steps.
"Kyle!" She ran to him, holding him tight. Kyle was a good foot taller than Maka, maybe even two. He had dark black hair that was cut to look emo. his eyes were a light blue. He wore black skinny jeans and black Converse, and he had on a blue tank top that was loose. He was handsome, his face sculpted, and so was his body. Maka held him close, finally reunited.
"THAT'S your brother!? Isn't he like MAJOR famous?!" Liz gaped.
"How've you been, little sis?"
"I'm graduating this Friday. Top of my class!" Maka looked at him with bright eyes.
"That's awesome!" Kyle picked her up and swung her around. "My little sis is finally done!"
"So what're you doing here?" Maka asked. "Not that I'm not glad you're here. Did something go wrong in Europe?"
"Well, I'm actually here to talk to you about something you might be interested in." Kyle took her hand and intertwined it with his. Kid immediately fumed, but kept his cool. Maka looked down at the bond and smiled.
"Go ahead and tell me." Maka looked at him with a curious expression.
"I want you to sing with me." Kyle held her hand tighter. Moments of silence passed before Maka could form sentences.
"I don't know..." Maka looked at Kid who encouraged her with his eyes.
"I've got this new album coming out with some covers and your favorite song. Fireflies. Remember how I used to sing that to you?"
"I remember!" Maka smiled.
"Okay, so sing with me!" Kyle pleaded. "One tour. And if you don't like it, you can leave."
"I'll think about it. But I've just started work, and I don't know if my boyfriend would like it." Maka signaled to Kid to walk over there and help her.
"Hey, I'm Maka's boyfriend. I'm the Grim Reaper." Kid said smiling, shaking his hand. "Death the Kid."
"So if she were to marry you she'd be.." Kyle smiled as Maka hit him.
"Mrs. Death." Kid blushed.
"Ah. Well what's your opinion on this?"
"I support it 100%. As long as it doesn't take her away from her work."
"It won't, I promise. Europe is filled with Kishin's." Kyle reassured Kid, holding Maka's hand.
"You sound like my Papa..." Maka glared at Kid who just smiled.
"It's up to her."
"Please Maka!" Kyle pleaded. "PLLEEEEAAASSSEEEEE!" He got down on one knee and said "Maka, you're my sister, the light of my life. I'll protect you at any costs. I love you. Will you sing with me?"
Maka started laughing like mad. "Alright, alright. But on one condition."
Kyle shot straight up. "Anything."
"Kid gets to go, and so does everyone here." Maka looked around and stopped when she realized one was missing. She popped open the trunk from the little remote box and Blackstar jumped out, screaming some nonsense about how he was god of all gods.
"We have three tour busses, so yeah. They're all welcome."
"Why three?" Kid asked.
"Decoy." Maka and Kyle said at the same time.
"Can we sing Just a Dream?!" Maka begged.
"Alright, alright."
"We were gonna go and get Deathbucks across the street, wanna join?" Kid asked politely.
"Sure." Kyle wrapped his arm around Maka and made Kid go on a rampage. Maka looked back and mouthed "sorry" before turning back to the black haired hottie.
"Maka, you've lost weight. And wha-" Kyle stopped in his tracks, holding Maka back with both hands. "Who. Did. That." Kyle's face filled with rage.
"Oh this?" Maka raised her hand to cover up her scar. "My ex."
"Who hurt you!?" Kyle yelled.
"Soul Eater Evans." Maka took out her phone and texted it to him.
"What else did he do?" He smoothed her face with his thumb.
"Not here, Kyle..." Maka pleaded with her eyes.
"Later." He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close, kissing her head. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here to protect you..."
"AHEM!" Kid cleared his throat.
"Right!" Maka yelled, running over with Kyle hand in hand.
"What's the story with you two?" Kid grabbed Maka's wrist hard and yanked her back. Fear was written all over her face as she stuttered to get an answer out.
"I'll explain later." Maka pulled her wrist away and ran to sit next to Kyle. Kid joined them right after and sat on the other side of Maka, and next to Tsubaki. Maka gently set her hand on Kid's thigh. Kid looked at her and saw her eyes start to water. He looked down at Maka's wrist and saw there were finger marks. Kid put his hand over her wrist and massaged it lightly, making Maka wince. He held her hand tightly and she knew he didn't mean to hurt her.
"So, Maka. How long have you and Kid been together?" Kyle asked.
"One month, tomorrow." Maka and Kid recited together.
"Oh" Kyle smiled at Maka and how happy she looked. "Sis, no hoods at the table." He pulled off her hood and revealed her silky long hair.
"Oh, sorry." Maka giggled, bringing her hand of Kid's lap to fix it. Kid frowned a little now that the woman who made him warm inside was no longer touching him.
Kyle leaned over to Maka and kissed her head gently. "You're safe now, right?" He whispered in her ear.
"I have someone who cares for me, and now I have you back." Maka smiled, leaning up to kiss his cheek.
"Why are they so physical?" Tsubaki asked Kid, ignoring the sugar sculpture that Blackstar and Patty were making.
"I don't know." Kid looked at how happy they were to be together and wondered if it was him or Kyle.
"Are you angry?"
"I don't know the story, so kind of. But I can't be. I already accidentally hurt Maka. I uh.. grabbed her wrist to hard." Kid looked at his hand that hurt her. "I didn't mean to, I swear."
"I believe you." Tsubaki touched his shoulder cautiously.
"I didn't mean to.. She's probably scared of me now..." Kid got angry with himself and slammed his hand against the table.
"Kid!" Maka screamed. "Kid, stop it!" She leaned over and held his hand, her strength overpowering his as she held his hand down. Kid looked up at her with tears in his eyes.
"Maka, I'm so sorry." Kid held her tight as he cried against her.
"What's wrong?" Kyle mouthed. Maka didn't do anything but hold her pinky up with her good wrist. Kyle understood what that meant, ensuring he won't hurt Kid, and pinky swore. She then held up her bad wrist, and Kyle nearly lost it. Maka put her finger to his face.
"NO" Maka mouthed back. Kid gripped her gently.
"I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to, I swear. I didn't mean to!" Kid cried.
"I know, Kid. I know and I forgive you." Maka kissed his forehead. "Look at me. I know you didn't mean to."
"It's like 8, guys." Liz pointed to the clock. Maka left some cash on the table and handed Kyle a piece of paper.
"My house, 12 o'clock sharp." Maka ran out with Kid, racing to get beyond the school doors before they were locked.
"Maka." Kid stopped when they were in the main doors. "I'm-"
"Nope. Nope. Shut up. SHHHH." Maka kissed him on the lips and hugged him tight. "You're nothing like Soul. So shut up."
Maka and Kid raced to class before the final bell rang. In the shadows, watching from a distance, stood an albino with a glass of vodka. He took a long swig and wobbled to class where Maka was. He stumbled into class, earning stares from the entire room except Maka.
"DUMB BITCH!" Soul yelled. Kid stood up and pushed Maka behind him as Soul made his was up the stairs.
"Soul, remove yourself from my classroom." Stein ordered. Soul kept walking up the stairs.
"I said. REMOVE YOURSELF FROM MY CLASSROOM." Stein stood up, dropping his cigarette and smashing it with his foot.
"Shit's gonna hit the fan!" Patty whispered to her sister while clapping her hands in a cheery way.
Liz looked at a drunk Soul and didn't feel one ounce of guilt. "Fuck yeah, it is."
Okay, so I worked on it until 12(Hawaiian time). I hope you guys won't kill me, but trust me, it will all come together, I promise. Please review!
Also, since I have a project, I might upload a few days later than normal, so please don't hunt me down.
Thank you for all the reviews and support, all the follows and favorites. It means a lot to me, it really does.
The question still stands: Should there be a fight between Maka and Soul? Or Kid and Soul? Poll is open until chapter is posted - no set date yet(which I'll probably let you know once I finish the plan for the fight scene). Please review with your vote!
Thank you so much! XOXO - bassaddict
