Maka knew Liz was keeping something from everyone. Even Kid and he seem to know it as well but lacked the ambition. A strike of fear coursed through when the idea that her and Soul could've been seeing each other. The growing belief that Soul was alive was consuming her thoughts. She now understood why Death didn't want to her thinking like this. The obsession was scaring her and she couldn't even stop it. Of course she kept this to herself. Which was why Kid, Patty, Tsubaki and Black Star were questioning her like crazy for dragging them to the graveyard where her partner was supposed to be buried in his grave. The questions stopped when they saw the large hole in the grave. Black Star immediately ran towards it to look at the coffin. They noticed the coffin door blown off its hinges ten feet from the hole. Black star jumped down and searched the coffin, digging through the dirt to find a body. Tsubaki lent a hand down and helped pull her partner up.
"His body is gone, not a bone in sight" He brushed himself off. Kid rolled his eyes.
"The body wouldn't have shed any bones, it would be way too early in the stages of decomposition for that Black Star" Kid corrected him like he was a text book. Maka glared at him for a second before deciding it was a stupid thing to get upset about. "But that aside there is no body and this place looks like a blast site. Outward not inward...Black Star bring that door over here" Kid motion to the coffin door that had been blasted off of its hinges. The assassin nodded and his weapon followed to help him with it. The two brought over the door and gently placed it on the ground. A small slash that was surrounded by singe marks. Maka knew that it was Soul's blade mark. No doubt about it, that was definitely a mark made by Soul's blade. But the singe marks didn't make any sense to her. Soul wasn't a Meister, nor could he use his Soul wavelength like a blast.
"These singe marks don't make any sense. Soul was never able to use his wavelength like that" Maka mumbled aloud. Black star looked at her like she was crazy
"Dude, you are making it sound like he broke himself out. Which is kind of possible since he is...dead" Black Star struggled with the word. Maka looked at him defiantly at pointed at the mark.
"Who else would've made that mark? It's the same width as his blade"
"I bet you'd know his size" Black Star joked. Which ended with a book to head from a blushing face.
"That isn't the only evidence! Soul's motorcycle was also missing a week ago. I know what you're thinking but it's impossible to hot wire his bike and he was the only one who knew where the spare was. Not even Blair could find it!" Maka tried to get her thoughts out of the gutter. "But it still doesn't explain how he would come back to life or the singe marks."
"Hey look a dead bird!" Patty poked at a small dead bird on the ground. Everyone stared at her, knowing she was oblivious to the tension and mystery of the coffin.
"Patty, don't touch that. It probably has diseases" Tsubaki pulled the young girl away from the dead animal. Kid looked from the coffin to bird. Connecting something together. He faced the school and narrowed his eyes. Drawing his hands out of his pockets Kid walked over to the bird and picked it up. "Kid don't take after your girlfriend!" Tsubaki sound exasperated.
"I've been practicing some lessons father has shown me some time ago. It's very difficult because I'm not a full Shimigami yet and it puts a large strain on my body but..." He held his other hand hovering over top of the small bird. "It's the art of bring one back from the dead" Maka's eyes widened. Black energy spark from his hand over the bird. Kid's soul expanded and the air around him swirled. The power vibrated the air as more energy sparked it soon turned to a steady stream. Fading from black to a pulsing white. Kid was covered in sweat and had a pained look on his face. Like the power was physically hurting him. It probably was in Maka's opinion. The air stopped vibrating, the wind stopped swirling, Kid's Soul shrunk back and the energy stopped. A small birds chirping broke through the silence and there in Kid's hand was the bird. Alive and well.
"That's amazing!" Patty exclaimed and jumped up and down. The bird flew off and she waved at it. When she turned around Kid's nose was dripping with scarlet. "Kid your nose!" Patty pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to him. At this point the blood poured out of his nose like a faucet. Kid pressed the cloth to his face and sighed and rubbed head.
"Dude your face is having a period" Black Star frowned before another book was thrown at his head. Kid quickly pulled out another handkerchief and removed the now drenched one that was pressed under his nose.
"It might as well be. This happens whenever I try this power. I understand the fundamentals and how to do it. My body just can't handle me calling that much power even if it's that small bird. I'm sure if I tried to bring back Soul I would die as well being him to edge of death and kill him again. But Father..." Kid looked back to the school.
"Well that still doesn't explain the singe marks" Tsubaki handed him a few tissues to plug up his nose.
"Actually there is another lesson. Enhancing a soul. It is possible that Father enhanced his soul. Which would mean..."
"The guardian that we met is Soul...That explains so much. The fact he didn't go after the witch right after she found me and when he kissed me" Maka let the last one slip. She blushed again.
"He kissed you?" Black Star popped up, apparently recovered from the last Maka chop "It only took him four years and his own death to do it" Black Star dodged another Maka chop with his ninja skills.
"A famous family's youngest son has been said to be visiting Death City" Patty interjected. Catching everyone off guard.
"Patty we are kind of-"
"He is from a family of musicians and is really rich. Like he has two billion in his Bank account. Me and Sis heard of him before we came here. He was always in the magazines mainly because he was smart and told his family to expand in certain areas and his family got really rich because of it!" Patty giggled excitedly.
"Patty how is this relevant to the conversation?" Kid raised an eyebrow.
"I heard is staying in Death City Hotel. The first one, the really fancy one and he's in the Penthouse," Kid stopped dead cold. That was the room where Liz had been...with her boyfriend "The Evans family son is very flirtatious too. But I heard he ran away for awhile" Patty sang. Maka stared at Patty. Her partners last name, his real last name.
"That was the room I saw Liz after she had sex..." Kid quietly muttered. Maka felt her heart drop. 'Soul isn't like that! He never was like that when we were partners. Kid must've misread the situation! He had to have...Cool guys don't cheat on their partners' "She said she just finished having sex with her boyfriend" Kid finished. Maka's face felt hot.
"That doesn't sound like Soul, he's been head over heels for Maka for like three years" Black Star wrinkled his nose. 'What right do I have to feel angry at him? We aren't dating...we may like each other but we never got to...three years...then when I was with Matt he just sat by and watched it happen. He listened when I told him I lost my virginity to some other guy? I really don't have any right to be upset' Maka thought to herself "Don't know why though, she is flat as a board, reads too many books and has violence issues" Black cringed waiting for the chop. Trying to lighten the mood. When nothing came he looked at her concerned. Patty of all people managed to cheer her up in the most fucked up way.
"You mentioned once that after the first few times after you battled using Soul as your weapon he was always really excited right?" Maka nodded "Well he hasn't fought in seven months so he probably had a lot of energy burn so Sis probably offered a way for it to be released! After all Sis used to have to do that sort of thing when we are on the streets!" Patty chirped. Maka oddly felt a little better at the news.
"Why would he comply with it? Weird way to get rid of pent up energy" Black Star folded his arms.
"She did what?!" Kid yelled. The outburst from the normally calm teenager made Tsubaki jump a little.
"Well sex is a good way to burn off a lot of energy! It is proven." Patty chirped. They all took a step back from her freaky knowledge of the subject.
"Okay now that we know Soul and Liz aren't in a relationship we need to find them. I know Father will just deny it unless we can prove it right in front of him" Kid motioned for them to leave. Maka felt Patty grab her hand. The scythe Meister watched the young demon gun bite her lip with a sad look before speaking up.
"Hey Kid We need to break up" Patty used a sing song voice. Kid almost fell over and Tsubaki stared in amazement. "I think you are dating the wrong Thompson sister. It was kind of obvious that you liked Sis and when you asked me out I was more than a little shocked. I even asked Sis if it was okay but she just tried to brush it off like it wasn't her deal. I think you should tell Liz how you really feel" Patty hurried off, towing Maka along with her. Tsubaki ran after the two girls leaving the two men alone.
"Dude, you just got publically dumped"
_X~
Patty huffed out her tears on Maka's shoulder, clutching the thin girl as she sobbed. Tsubaki stroked her hair and tried to soothe her. Maka now knew how her pillow felt after Soul had been killed. Lacking air and very wet. Maka tried o give her words of comfort but Maka realized that she never been confronted with a problem like this before. She didn't know what to say, not a single word came to her mind. Tsubaki managed to do it enough for both of them. After an hour at a cafe Patty finally released Maka and was reduced to just sniffles.
"At least one of us will be happy" Patty smiled, tiny tears still trickled down her cheeks. Maka looked at her curiously "Soul, you know...He's back!" Maka could see Patty was trying to be strong for her. Maka stroked her short blonde hair and kissed her forehead. Something her partner used to do with her whenever she was upset. Usually about her mother's post card being very late and somehow it would come the next day.
"This is all in theory, Soul could still possibly be dead and a necromancer brought his body out. Just because Kid was being taught those lessons doesn't mean Soul is alive...No matter how much I hope for it." Tsubaki gazed at the sad smile on Maka features. She was serious on what she said. Maka was a woman of hard proof and believing this would be very hard for her. Unless she saw him up close, heard him speak, touched his skin she would never truly believe he was alive. The obsession and her logical side were clashing inside of her. Creating tidal waves of doubt and storms of hope in her body.
"You know I don't think Black Star sees me as a love interest." Tsubaki simply spoke. The two other girls looked over at her with a strange expression. Tsubaki nodded and smiled "He thinks everyone loves him the way I do and doesn't know how different our feelings are. I don't even think that he knows how to love anyone" Tsubaki was oddly chipper "So Patty why did you suddenly decide to end it all?"
"Kid is always jealous whenever another guy comes within five feet of my sister. I know he likes her more than me. He just doesn't know how to process those feelings" Patty's voice was oddly low. Maka continued to stroke her hair "And I know Sis loves him back" Tsubaki's phone binged with a text message from Blackstar.
"Hey you guys Liz in the Death room and Kid and Black Star are following her," The two looked up. "The guardian is with her!" Tsubaki gasped. Patty looked at Maka, confliction on the meisters face. Maka wanted that guardian to be Soul, she really did. But if it wasn't then she would have to face the reality of Soul being dead. Maka sighed and stood up, facing the two weapons.
"Let's go!"
_X
Soul had his hood up as he was in the death room, not taking the chance that someone would recognize him. Especially since Kid and Spirit were often in here. Liz was beside him as she gave a detailed report on the analysis of witch's fighting style. Soul calmly told Lord Death about her unique soul abilities, the fact she could match soul wavelengths to a weapon even though she was a witch and to someone she had no contact with before. They both did not know the location of her current hideout or if she was back in Death City. Neither of them noticed Black Star and Kid hiding by the door or when the Tsubaki and Patty entered. But Maka on the other hand, was a completely different story. Maka kicked open the door, giving away everyone's hiding place and stomped up to the three with everyone trailing behind her.
"Lord Death I have something urgent to discuss with you!" She stated each word loudly. Soul pulled the hood over his eyes. "Soul's grave has been dug up and his body is missing. Also his motorcycle has been stolen!" The pig tailed girl looked beyond furious, making the three mimicked the fear that the death scythe Azusa caused. Soul took a step back, away from Maka hoping she wouldn't notice the movement. Kid and the others approached quickly, wary of Maka's wrath. Soul took another step back catching her attention. She narrowed her eyes and stormed over to him. "And you! You were the one who dragged me into an alley, told me to shut up then kissed me! Take that stupid hood off you are indoors for Death sakes!" She reached for it but he moved back. Death tried to intervene but was caught his son. Patty and Tsubaki held back Liz as Soul tried to fight off the determined Maka. He had a hand on her face, trying to push her back while the other gripped her wrist.
"YAHOO!" Black Star shouted as he jumped over the two, grabbing the hood and yanking it back. Soul's spiky white hair bounced a little as red eyes widened. Soul was about to turn around and swear at the ninja assassin but Maka stopped him. With both of her hands free she grabbed his face and pulled it to hers. Pressing her lips to his while her fingers tugged his hair. Soul was more than surprised at the sudden action. But it didn't mean he didn't enjoy every bit of it. When she broke apart she slapped him in the face.
"You freaking idiot!" Maka yelled as she repeatedly hit his chest. "You stupid fucking idiot! I thought you were gone forever and you didn't even bother-bother to tell me you were back. You stupid insensitive jerk!" Maka cried as her fists got weaker. "I hate you so much...I was so worried" Maka fell to her knees, clutching his clothes and sobbed. Soul wanted to wrap his arms around her but Death separated them. After of course hitting Black Star as hard as he could.
"This was not supposed to happen. Maka you were not allowed to know that Soul was alive before this whole ordeal was over. You are already in great danger but now it has increased tenfold. I'm sorry to do this but you cannot see Soul until this witch is dead!" Lord Death pushed them apart, pained expressions were painted on both of their faces.
"Father!" Kid shouted, catching everyone's attention "Can't you see that will do more harm than good? Maka has believed him to be dead for almost eight months now. Taking a toll on her mind, emotional state, and her body! Soul is also Maka's partner and can only do his best fighting when she is wielding him." Kid stated. Death was taken aback by his son's behaviour. Kid had usually just kept his mouth shut in these situations even if they regarded his friends. Death lowered his hands and let the pair embrace each other and stared at his son. Amazed by his method to handle the problem. He used a more...human view on it, something he wasn't able to do.
"Fine, I'll allow it for the time being. All of you out now, I need some time to think things through" They nodded and left. Soul had Maka's hand in his, keeping a firm grip on it. He had done this a lot before he died. He always liked holding her hand, it never matter for what he just liked holding her hand. They bid the others a short goodbye, everyone already knowing they needed some privacy. Soul led her to his motorcycle that he stole back. Maka gave him a look before swinging her leg over and wrapped her arms around his middle. A troubling thought occurred in her head. The thing Kid had mentioned before. If Liz was working with Soul the entire time and saying she was with her boyfriend the entire time then when she had sex with her boyfriend...Maka loosened her grip a bit.
"Hey, what gives? I thought you'd be clinging to me the entire time" Soul revved the engine and the bike lurched forward. Maka jumped and tightened her grip again. The wind whipped through her hair as they sped off to the hotel. Soul's cloak mixed with her jacket, smoke and shadows twisting with each other as they flickered.
"It's nothing" Maka mumbled but Soul still managed to hear even over the rushing wind in his ears. He felt her head rest against his back, her frame felt tense as he drove down into the underground parking lot. When he parked in his spot, the spot with the 'pent' sign on it, Maka already knew it had happened. He was in the penthouse spot, Kid had said that was the room Liz came out of...
"Don't gimme that crap, just because I've been gone for a while doesn't mean I can't read you like an open book now spill" Soul moved around on the bike they were facing each other. Maka looked away, biting her cheek. She finally got to see Soul and she was acting like brat because of something that didn't even involve her. Soul traced her with his eyes and leaned forward. Aiming to kiss her again. But Maka moved back, shocked from her own movement she started to get up but Soul pulled her back onto the bike. His grip was rough and hard, controlling yet protective. "Maka what's wrong, you can tell me. I've waited five years to have you like this...with me" Maka still wouldn't meet his eyes but she did speak.
"Kid saw Liz come out of the Penthouse, she said she just had sex with her boyfriend...was that you?" Maka timidly asked. Soul inwardly groaned, he knew that was gonna come back to bite him in the ass. His grip slipped from her wrists and ended up on her hips.
"Yeah, I had a lot of pent up energy and it wasn't like I could go to the gym so Liz said it was cool. No string attached sex so I wouldn't go crazy. I'm sorry" He apologized and rested his head on her shoulder. "You can give me all the Maka chops you want if you'd like" He smiled. Maka felt a blast of his scent, citrus. Definitely unexpected of Soul, but Soul wasn't like the rest of them.
"You don't really need to apologize, it's not like we're going out so it's not like you cheated on me or anything. I guess I'm just being a child again" Maka sighed. Soul pulled away looking a little hurt. Maka realized how she worded it. She made it sound like she was rejecting him. "I mean uh-well w-we could be going out if you wanted that. B-because I certainly do but I-uh-um-uh...D-do you?" She fumbled over her own tongue. Soul grinned and pulled her onto his lap. Maka blushed as his hands went from her hips to her butt.
"No shit Book worm, you're the coolest partner ever why wouldn't I?" He meshed his lips to hers. His tongue licked her bottom lip and Maka was more than willing to give it access. Maka kissed him as hard as she could, sucking and swirling their tongue together. Maka moaned as her skin felt hot, too hot for her to be comfortable. She question if this was a dream or if she had fallen into the madness. There were no terrifying images so it couldn't be the madness. Her tongue grazed one his sharp fangs, ruling out the dream theory. Soul pulled her against him a little more, letting her feel the growing need in his pants. A growing need for her and her only. Maka moaned a little louder, filling Soul's ears like music. He parted for a breath and stared at her. She was vixen, a goddess that will be his undoing. Soul pulled off his head band and placed it on Maka along with his cloak. He picked her up and carried her to the elevator, bridal style. Maka squirmed a little but eventually gave in when he stepped inside the elevator.
"We're finishing this in my room"
Well that's all done, I know some of you thought I shouldn't bring them together again so soon but this fic is only going to be about ten chapters. That and Maka and Soul need to kill that witch along with some other things that will arise out of this. Maybe a crack ending were Soul was telling his kids how he and their mom got together...in a very detailed way XD Anyways I'll update really soon because I personally hate when a writer leaves off at a lemon but I gotta wake up early tomorrow and I wanted to submit something before you all hated me ^_^ Please leave a review
