SOUL POV:

I dont like him. Not one tiny little bit. Maybe it was that cocky attitude of his? Me?! A dog! I huffed and spotted Blackstar across the clearing, "Yo, Blackstar!"

The blue haired assassin turned his neck and spotted me, "Sup".

I jogged over to him and we knocked knuckles, "I don't like that kid."

I didn't even have to gesture to the tent he and Maka were in for Blackstar to catch on. He crossed his arms and his fist went up into the air as his face took on a dangerous expression, "HE'S TRYING TO STEAL MY GODLY-SHIP!" I should have expected that to be his reply.

"Somehow, I don't think that is his goal."

We spun to see Kid watching the tent as Maka and the new kid emerged together. My eyes narrowed on the trespasser who was talking up Maka. MY Maka. I wasn't aware I held Blackstar's wrist until he yelped in pain and jerked his hand back, "OUCH! Damn it, Soul!"

I smiled sheepishly, as my friend rubbed his bluish red wrist, and scratched the back of my neck, "S-sorry..."

Crona appeared next to me and frowned, "I-I don't really like casting judgment on others..." He squirmed in place and I partly noticed he still had Ragnarok out, "B-But I don't really know how to d-deal with someone like him..."

As much as his stuttering annoyed me, I had to agree with the purple head. But my reasons were much less... noble. I glanced back at my leader. She was coming towards us, and judging by the grin on her face and the fact that she wasn't scowling told me that Mr. New Boy had made an impression (GRRRRR!) and that he'd decided to stay. I huffed. That was too bad, I'd personally have found ripping him to shreds fun. I didn't like him! He'd do well to know that and stay out of my way! Mines and Maka's.

BLACKSTAR POV:

"Okay," Maka stopped in front of us and looked around.

Huh. I hadn't even noticed Liz and Patty had joined our group. They were unusually silent the whole time.

"Everyone, this is Luke. He's decided to join us."

Everyone's expressions were different. Liz placed her hands on her hips and looked quizzically at Luke. Patty peeked over her sister's shoulder at him with wide, questioning eyes. Tsubaki stood by my side with her hands together in front of her, her face smiling welcomingly. SIGH. She's always smiling welcomingly. Kid frowned deeply. But Soul - boy, to have been a mind reader!

"It's not like he had much of a choice..." A certain white head mumbled.

Soul was obviously thinking devious things about our new gang member. Like I said before, Soul likes Maka. And judging by the distance - or lack thereof - between Luke and her, he has competition. Soul went from glaring at the ground to trying to burn a whole through Luke. And to Luke's credit, he didn't back off.

I, personally, didn't like Luke. But only cause he tried to show me up! Me! His GOD! He would pay... that much he could be sure of...

TSUBAKI POV:

I watched silently as Kid, frowning, walked off with Luke to show him the territory. Blackstar shot Luke an evil glare as he too walked off, in the other direction, to follow Maka's orders. I'd watched the whole display unfold, and I had to say the guys were not all for it. Especially Soul.

I've always known Soul had a little thing for Maka, just like I do for Blackstar. But the feeling between them was not mutual... at least... not from what I could tell these past few years. I watched Soul with pitying eyes as Maka announced that he would be joining. His eyes narrowed, his fists clenched, and he looked away to the ground. I know he noticed the lack of distance between the two of them, I sure did. It looked like Luke was making a move on her, and she was wasn't making any effort to stop him...

HEY EVERYONE! Im SRRY this one is so short! Im working on the next one, I PROMISE!
