Okay, guys! So I'm finally getting my life in order XD. And writing is part of my life, so here's chapter 12. Enjoy:D
Chapter 12 - Worse Than Madness
Maka woke up early. She looked around the darkened room to find the shades closed and her wedding dress on the floor. She tried to move, but Kid's naked body wrapped around her own exposed self kept her from moving an inch.
"Hmm..." Kid breathed hot air on her spine and pulled her closer. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, his lips barely touching her skin. She let out a tiny squeak at the sudden wave of pleasure. Kid chuckled before squeezing her and letting her go.
"How do you like the bracelets?" Kid opened his eyes slightly, staring down at his wife's hands and smiling brightly when he saw the bracelets he had bought her in Europe.
"I love them." Maka smiled. "But your question should be 'how do you like being my wife?'"
"Okay, how do you like being my wife?"
"I love it." Maka kissed his cheek before getting out of bed, not bothering to cover up. Kid looked away when he saw the faint scar on her back.
"When the HELL is that thing gonna go away?!" Kid suddenly screamed. Maka, startled, whipped around to find Kid sitting up in bed.
"I agreed with my black blood to leave it as is." Maka said while wrapping a spare blanket around her exposed body.
"I just... it haunts me..." Kid looked across the room at the door, not letting his eyes waver.
"Sorry..." Maka resonated with her black blood and let the scars disappear. "I'm gonna shower now."
"I'll make breakfast." Kid got up and kissed her head before putting on a pair of boxers. From downstairs, Kid could hear Maka's voice throughout the house. It made him smile, the thought that she will forever be his.
Kid was snapped from his thoughts when his phone rang. He ran upstairs to answer it, and he didn't exactly want to hear from anyone at this moment. Annoyed, Kid answered it to be greeted by his father's cheery voice.
"Hi, hello! How ya doin'? Wazzup?"
"Oh, hello father. How are you?" Kid spoke in a very calm and sophisticated voice.
"There's a mission I need you to complete."
"Sure, father. What is it?"
"In Europe, there's this group of powerful Kishin's you need to defeat. There are about a hundred or so, but they're not your average Kishin. They're not just power hungry."
"Well then what are they?"
"Evolved. They can think better, create strategies and such like the Kishin Asura."
"There's more like him?"
"Not like the madness... Much worse. Wheels up in an hour. You'll be flying to Berlin. There, a guide will meet you there and take you to one of our hotels. You begin your mission immediately after a small nap."
"Got it, father. I'll call you later." Kid hung up his phone, setting back down on the dresser. Maka had gotten out of the shower and was silently standing in the doorway, listening in on an unsuspecting Kid. "Fuck..."
"What is it?" Kid turned around quickly to find Maka standing there in nothing but a towel.
"Mission."
"Fuck." Maka repeated Kid's exasperated sigh and plopped on the bed.
"Wheels up in an hour too."
"I'll call Christian."
"I'll get the twins."
"Let's just hope..." Maka picked up her phone and started to dial Christian.
"...they're not drunk or hungover." Kid finished her sentence while dialing Liz.
When everything was packed, and every one was settled, they flew off to Berlin. It was in the middle of the flight that Kid was glad the D.W.M.A. had a private jet.
"I AM THE GOD! NOW BOW DOWN ALL YOU LESSER BEINGS!"
"That's the seventeenth time you've said that..." Liz mumbled, trying to fall asleep.
"Please stop..." Maka was startled awake. "I was sleeping..."
"If there were other people on this damn plane besides us, you'd be thrown off..." Kid muttered, snuggling closer to Maka.
"ALL Y'ALL BITCHES BETTER KISS MY FEET!" Blackstar ran back and forth, his girlfriend trying hard to get him to sit down.
"Please, Blackstar." Tsubaki begged, grabbing his hand.
"SILENCE PEASA-"
"JUST FUCKING SHUT UP ALREADY!" Maka grabbed a book and slammed it into his skull. "Thank you..." Maka sat down by Kid and curled up against him.
"I'm sorry..." Tsubaki said before closing her eyes, leaving her boyfriend on the floor.
When they arrived in Berlin, Maka stretched her arms out towards the sky, feeling the rays of sunshine hit her face.
"The air here smells better than in Death City!" Maka smiled.
"Well it's not as dry." Kid stretched his arms forward.
"We gotta get going. If we don't hurry, we might lose the Kishin." Liz said, dragging a still sleeping Patty off the plane and into the sun.
"Where's Tsubaki?" Maka asked, turning around to find her standing on the stairwell holding an unconscious blue haired idiot. "I'm sorry! I didn't even realize I hit him that hard!"
"It's okay." Tsubaki smiled widely.
"Here. Let me." Maka ran to Tsubaki and grabbed Blackstar from her.
"Thanks." Tsubaki sighed. Maka resonated with her black blood and threw Blackstar into the ground. Maka jumped into the crater with Blackstar and slammed him against the wall until he woke up.
"IS THAT ANY WAY TO TREAT YOUR GOD!?"
"That's for making me lose valuable sleep." Maka returned to normal and rubbed her eyes. "Let's go."
"YOU SHOULDN'T DISRESPECT YOUR GOD LIKE THAT!"
"Shut up." Maka turned around to face Blackstar, a black aura seeping through her skin. Blackstar loved to be godly, but even he knew that Maka being pissed was not a good thing.
"Okay! The guide is right there!" Liz waved to an old man standing next to a stretch limo.
"We're here to do a mission, right?" Maka asked while walking over to the old man.
"I hope my father didn't bring us here for a conference..." Kid mumbled.
"Hello, I am your guide. My name is Noboru Hiroshima. I will be your guide for this trip. I understand you are the Elite Class that graduated from the D.W.M.A. It is such a great honor to be standing in front of you, Maka Albarn." Noboru bowed his head.
"Uhh... T-thanks." Maka looked at Noboru and then at Kid.
"Well," Noboru lifted his head and stood straighter. "I believe it is time for us to be getting to the hotel. You have a mission to complete and then a press conference to attend."
"I KNEW IT!" Kid yelled.
"Shall we?" Noboru held the door open and let the team climb inside. He closed the door and then sat in the drivers seat. Turning the car on, he looked back to find them all taking in the elegant vehicle.
"Was all this necessary?" Christian asked.
"I don't know..." Kid said, holding Maka's hand. Minutes passed before they arrived at a skyscraper hotel. The exterior was mainly cream colored marble with large windows. The lobby was, to Kid's pleasure, symmetrical. It was in the shape of a giant oval. In the center was an oval desk with four women assisting customers. Behind the desk, on the other side of the oval, there was a giant marble staircase.
Maka and Liz looked around in awe, while Kid started having a fit over the staff. Blackstar was convinced that these people would bow to him and Tsubaki had practically given up. Patty was in the corner murdering giraffes that she got from who knows where.
"This way, please." Noboru came back with a room key and two busty women beside him. The two women were winking at Kid and looking him up and down. Kid gagged a little before grabbing Maka's hand. The women didn't back off, but instead made their advances more obvious.
"Mr. Death, this way." One of the women led the way, making sure to pull her skirt up a little. When they arrived at the penthouse, the same woman led Kid into the bedroom to look around. The other woman was busy trying to keep everyone in the main entrance of the penthouse. Maka walked around the woman and into the bedroom where she saw the woman trying to touch Kid. Since neither of them noticed her, she stayed silent. Maka had faith in Kid, but she didn't trust that woman.
"Mr. Death, why won't you touch me?"
"Miss Aoi, I refuse to touch someone as pathetic as you. I didn't want to embarrass you in front of everyone, but I see that was a mistake." Kid grabbed both her wrists and pinned her to the wall. "I am married. I have a beautiful wife who isn't slutty like you, so I suggest you back off or you'll be sent to Hell and back. I may be the reaper, but my wife can bring Hell to earth."
"Y-yes, Mr. Death."
"Now, if you don't want anyone to hear about your behavior, you'll do exactly as I say."
"A-anything." Aoi was shivering under his cold tone of voice. Kid had tightened his grip due to her squirming and the woman nearly screamed in pain.
"Leave. You will quit this job tonight or I will find reason to fire you."
"W-what?! I can't do that!"
"You can find a job anywhere else but here. This is one of my father's hotels, and you're a cancer to this business. And, to top that, you're asymmetrical! And for you to think that I'd leave my wife for someone like you is beyond my comprehension." Kid released her wrists, watching as she dropped to the floor. "Leave."
"Yes, Mr. Death. I apologize for the inconvenience." With that, Aoi left. Kid sat down on the bed and sighed heavily.
"Was all that necessary?" Maka asked, smiling slightly at the little display she just witnessed.
"Yes, it was." Kid said, patting the king-size bed. Maka walked over and sat on the bed. "Her skull is so thick. Plus, she's asymmetrical! How does that woman work here? Of all places, here!"
"So if she was symmetrical, would you still have done that?" Maka asked curiously.
"Yes, I would." Kid looked at her and wrapped his arms around her small body. "Because you're the only one for me."
"UMM! HELLLOOOO!" Liz stood in the doorway. "WE HAVE A MISSION!"
"Oh, yeah..." Maka quickly got up and ran into the living room to grab the suitcase with the gear. She opened it and handed everyone their individual gear. Liz and Patty wore their usual outfits, only this time it was a black top to match their black bottoms. They also did not have the tie or hat. Kid was in his usual outfit, all the same colors. Blackstar and Tsubaki were the same, saying how he will always be a god no matter what clothes he has. Christian had on black skinny jeans and a black t-shirt. Plain, simple, and much to Kid's pleasure, symmetrical.
Maka's waist length hair was in her signature pigtails. She had on red plaid skinny jeans and a white tight fitted long sleeve. She slipped on her plain black combat boots. She left the tie and the vest in the suitcase and picked up her long black trench coat. The buttons were the same but this time the length of the coat dragged along the floor.
"My father had it made just for you." Kid said, helping her put it on. She slipped on her white gloves and grabbed Kid's hand.
In the car, Kid briefed the team on the Kishin's they were fighting.
"They're supposedly worse than Asura."
"That's not good!" Liz shouted.
"Yeah, ya think?" Christian chimed in.
"Well, we're the only team who can do it." Kid said.
"Why not send backup?" Tsubaki asked.
"Because we're the only team with a skill level that can take down any Kishin. We just have to put our all into it. If we don't..."
"We die." Liz finished the sentence for Kid.
"Then we need to kick ass." Maka said, staring out the window and at the passing scenery.
"Our biggest issue is location." Kid said, pointing to a map.
"They're in plain sight." Christian muttered.
"We need to keep it in the building that they're in currently to avoid making a mess..." Kid looked over to Maka. "However, if Maka resonates with her black blood, that's going to be next to impossible."
"I'll avoid it until it's really needed." Maka said, facing Kid.
"Blackstar?" Tsubaki asked, turning towards him.
"Yeah?"
"Try not to wreck the city."
"A GOD LIKE ME CAN DO WHATEVER!" Blackstar shouted.
"We're here." Kid leaned over to Maka and kissed her passionately.
"What's that for?"
"In case I don't make it." Maka lowered her head and let her bangs cover her eyes.
"You bastard..." She muttered. "YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT OUT ALIVE, YOU HEAR ME!?" Maka's screams caused the glass cups in the car to break. "You can kiss me when we get back to the penthouse, got it?"
"Yes ma'am." Kid grabbed her hand before they stepped outside.
"Liz, Patty. Weapon forms."
"THEY'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Patty screamed.
"Let's fuck 'em up." Liz muttered, landing in Kid's hands.
"Christian." Maka reached for him. He transformed and Maka gripped him tightly.
"Tsubaki." Blackstar barely whispered before Tsubaki was in his hands. "ALRIGHT! LET'S SEE WHO DARES CHALLENGE THE GREAT BLACKSTAR!"
Maka stared at the skyscraper before her. "Rose Industries?" She asked, walking into the red colored lobby.
"Yeah, it's just a cover." Kid said, walking to the counter. He narrowed his eyes at the woman and smiled charmingly. "Hello, we need to speak to your boss."
"O-okay." The young woman blushed and led them to the elevator, completely ignoring the fact that the three people who just walked in had weapons bigger than her.
"Thanks." Kid flashed her an award winning smile that made Maka gag. When they arrived at the penthouse, Maka was the first to step out of the elevator.
"My name is Maka Death, and I am a Sledgehammer Meister from the D.W.M.A. Elite Class. I am here to take every one of your souls, and even your boss'. Now, before I kill you, tell me one thing. Where is Akira?"
"What? Misao! You let them in?" Misao, the woman who was flirting with Kid, quickly bowed down and apologized. "It can't be helped. Ey Tetsuo! Get your ass out here with everyone else. We need to put these people in the gra-"
"I asked a question." Maka narrowed her eyes, tightening her grip on Christian. "Where is Akira?"
"I'll tell you now since you're going to die." A man with black spiky hair walked in the room. "He's in the penthouse, three floors above us."
"Let's get em, Tetsuo!" The other man yelled.
"Summon them all, Yori." Tetsuo ordered, walking towards Maka.
"Yessir!" Yori yelled, running to the phone.
"Alright, thanks for the info." Maka said, smiling. "We'll be taking your souls now."
From behind Maka, Blackstar came charging past her and stepped on Tetsuo's face. He proceeded to destroy a few Kishin's in the room that had arrived before the rest. Kid shot at Tetsuo from behind Maka, barely missing her head and hitting him in the chest. Maka swung Christian around, hitting Tetsuo back and forth before throwing him out the window and down fifty something stories to the ground.
"Alright, who's next?" Maka smiled. She charged towards the groups of men surrounding her. There were hundreds. "Kid! We have to take the fight elsewhere, there's not enough space!"
"The whole building is full of Kishin's, destroy what you must, but hold off on that one thing we discussed."
"You got it." Maka slammed her hammers into the ground and created a hole that led into the floor below. She watched as the men fell beside her and struggled to gain their ground. She could hear the footsteps of the men that were running up the stairs. Some were going to the level above her, so she screamed.
"INCOMING!" Maka swung her Christian, smashing Kishin after Kishin.
"Maka, backup is coming!" Kid said, jumping down and leaving Blackstar to have his fun.
Husband and wife fighting side by side. That's how things should be. Maka and Kid stood back to back, swinging and shooting at their enemies.
"Switch." Kid said. Maka knelt down and turned to face Kid's side of the room while Kid jumped over her, shooting at an enemy. Maka ran towards her opponents, smashing every one of them under Christian and watching as their souls floated in the air, just waiting for someone to eat them.
"Watch out!" Kid yelled at Maka. Maka turned around to be met with a blade. Before she could react, the blade pierced her stomach.
"MAKA!" Kid screamed, his blood boiling. He ran over to her, letting Liz and Patty take care of things for a little. "Maka, please tell me you're okay."
"I can't for long now, unless I use the black blood." Maka muttered, getting up and tightening her grip on Christian when pain shot through her body. She saw the blood seeping through her trench coat and ignored it. She would fight until she desperately needed the blood. "But I'll fight. I'll fight until I can't feel my lungs."
Maka charged forward at the Kishin's standing there. They shot at her, and threw knives at her, but nothing stopped her. Maka's battle cry spread throughout the tower and she smashed anyone in her way.
"Let's go, Liz, Patty. Soul Resonance!" Kid screamed, entering the realm of resonance. He used his death canon on the men in the staircase, sending most of them into oblivion.
"How many more?" Maka asked, holding her stomach. Kid killed another Kishin before running over to her.
"That's all for now. We still have the boss to face."
"That's all there is up here, ready?" Blackstar breathed heavily, holding Tsubaki close to him.
"Yeah." Maka exhaled, exasperated. "Let's go kick some major ass."
They ran up the stairs to the room where Akira was said to be.
"So, you've finally found me, Maka Albarn." Akira's deep voice filled the room. "I know the only reason you think you're after me is because of Lord Death. But what you don't know, or shall I say don't remember, is who I am."
"Who are you, then?" Maka said, holding her stomach with both arms now. When he didn't reply, she lost the little patience she possessed.
"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION." Maka's voice and aura became demonic. The tattoos had appeared and her eyes were completely black. She had lost it. She had snapped.
"WHO. ARE. YOU?!"
Maka is gonna go batshit insane XD I'll try to update weekly, maybe even sooner, but sometimes things come up. I apologize if this sucks, I really do.
Please leave a review! I love them all! There will be shout-outs to you guys in the last chapter XD
