Chapter 3 Sympathy for the Devil

-KIDS POV-

"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Soul asked.

"I-I don't know..Lets just contact my father and we'll figure it out."

"Okay.." Soul said weakly.

"Are you alright to stand?" BlackStar asked.

"Ye-yeah I can..." Soul attempted to stand but collapsed.

"He's out again.." BlackStar said.

"Thats fine.. Lets just get him back.."

"What the heck just happened?!" I heard Liz ask before her Patty and Tsubaki all transformed back into themselves.

"I-I don't know. But whatever it was,we atleast know it was caused by Soul.. And he saved our lives."

BlackStar stood next to Tsubaki. "Yeah we were saved.. but do yu think anyone was caught up in that? I mean the whole park is on fire.."

I stared at the park listening to multiple sirens in the background. It was coming from some fire trucks passing by, going towards the fire Soul created.

"Lets get ut of here and then we will contact my father."

-SOULS POV-

My eyes slowly opened, I was welcomed by a dark room, my new room at Kids place. I slowly sat up in bed trying to remember what happened and what went wrong. I turned n a lamp next to the bed when it hit me. Everything that happened. I jumped out of bed and ran into the dining room to find Kid sitting at the table with Liz.

Liz and Kid looked up at me a little shocked. Kid stood up.

"Soul. You're awake."

"Y-Yeah. I-" I was distracted when Kid spoke quietly to Liz. He spoke wuiet enough to where I wouldnt hear, if I was human. But since I'm a demon my senses are far more superior to that of a human.

"Go get Stein." Is what I heard him whisper.

Liz got up and quickly ran off.

"Soul just sit down right there for a few minutes."

I walked over to a chair and sat down. "I'm in trouble aren't I?"

"Just wait for Stein and father to arrive and they will explain it all to you.."

I sighed. "I fucked up already.." I said quietly. But Kid heard me, his head shot up as soon as I said that but I didn't make eye contact.

I looked up when Stein walked in. I looked up and watched as Stein walked over to me. He knelt down next to me so we would be eye level. Stein squinted slightly as he looked into my eyes.

I gave him a confused look. Stein sighed and looked back at me normally.

"Soul are you feeling alright?" Stein asked.

"I-Uh" I got distracted when I saw Lord Death entering the room in the corner of my eye.

I looked back at Stein. "Yeah, I feel good I guess."

"Do you remember anything?"

I glaced down then back up and nodded. "Everything." I said quietly.

Stein nodded then pulled out a small flashlight.

"Uh Stein I-" I was cut off when he turned on the light.

"Follow the light with your eyes please."

Stein moved the flashlight left and right slowly, I followed the blinding light until he turned it off and placed it back in his pocket. I blinked a few times to re-adjust my eyes.

Stein lifted a hand and cupped my right cheek and then used his thumb to pull down my bottom eyelid.

"Look up." He plainly said. "ok, now the other."

He did the same to my other eye. When he was done he stood and turned to Lord Death.

"He seems fine from what I can tell. Nothing strange, or out of the ordinary."

"Thats good!" Lord Death said. "Thank you Professor Stein."

Lord Death then walked over to me.

"Hello Soul! How are ya?!"

"I-Uhm.. I'm alright I guess.. but can you tell me-"

"Thats good! Now since you're doing alright, lets talk."

I nodded.

"You do remember what happened last night correct."

"Yes."

"So you know you set the whole park on fire."

I nodded.

"But in the process you also eleminated multiple fo the shadow demons, almost a hundred!"

"Yes, I'm aware of my actions."

"But, you were unconcious during all of this."

"Y-yes, but in a way I feel like I wasn't.."

"Oh?"

"I-I was unconcious. But even though I could sense I was in danger and so I protected myself."

"Hmm.. How interesting... You know the whole park was destroyed.."

I nodded slowly. "Will I be punished for that?"

"Thats what we're attempting to determine right now... I hate to be the one to tell you this Soul but not only was the park completely destroyed but there was a father and son there too. The father was 36 and the boy was 11. They were caught up in it. And we are trying to determine if you had control over your actions or not."

My eyes widened, I stood up. "What?!"

"Soul.. Pease sit down." Kid said.

"N-No! I kiled again?!" I was panicking I wanted to break down, I had killed 2 more innocent people, one of them being a child.

"I-I" I backed up slowly as I ran my fingers through my hair. I clung onto my hair and looked at Lord Death and mouthed the words 'What am I doing' then ran out of the room and leaving the property.

I did not stop to look and see if they were attempting to stop me, I just kept running. I slowed down when I passed by a cemetary. There were cars parked all around. I went to the fence and grpped onto the bars as I watched a funeral take place. The wind picked up so it was hard to hear anything but I could see... I could see them lowering the coffin into the ground.

It suddenly became darker outside, I looked up in the sky to find multiple dark clouds circling the sky, blocking the sun.

I turned my attention back to the funeral, the coffin was already in the ground. The preist said a few words and everyone bowed their head to pray. Everyone there looked sad, and was mourning but some reason I kept looking at this woman. This woman must've been the wife.. She had her hands on the shoulders of a little girl who coud be no older than 4.

It started to rain lightly. The crowed raised their heads and then they were all dismissed by the preist. And one by one they started to leave.

I was able to sneak around the croud to get to the grave where the person who I'm assuming was a man was burried.

When I got there I looked at all the flowers that surrounded it, I saw a few pictures of the man, he looked like a good guy. I looked up and read the grave stone.

'James Porter August 17, 1993 - October 28, 2018'

"He died about four days ago..." I stood up and backed away. "This must be the man I killed.."

The rain started to pour down. I closed my eyes. "I'm sorry.." I opened them then ran off.

-MAKAS POV-

"MAKA! You-Look-"

"Stupid.." I finished Blairs sentence.

"Gorgeous!"

I smiled slightly. "Thanks Blair but... I just don't even look like myself." I looked up in the mirror. I was wearing makeup, which is something I never wear...My hair was curled and it went all the way down to my waist, I was wearing that awfully tight black dress that was just above my thighs and was slevless on one side but on the other side it went over my shoulder and was long sleeved, I didn't like the dress but.. it did show off my curves alot, and my legs... And then to top it all off, I was wearing heels. Me wearing heels...

"You look like a model Maka!"

"I dont know?..."

"Oh come on! Accept the compliment and lets get going before the night is over!"

I sighed and let out a quiet laugh. "okay."

And with that we left the apartment, got in the car and headed to wherever this 'club' was. When we arrived there was a long line.

"B-Blair, it will take hours just to get in."

Blair laughed. "Oh Maka, its a good thing you're pretty." She smiled. "Come on!"

I got out of the care with her and followed her to the front door. We didn't stop walking, we just kept going. Blair waved at one of the men at the entrance.

"Hey boys." She did her 'cat smile'

"Welcome back Blair!" One of them said and opened the front door for us.

I smiled slightly when I heard the cround groan and complain as we walked on by.

"Ya see?! Easy!" Blair said. "Now lets party!" She creamed and ran off.

"W-Wait! Blair!" Before I knew it blair was gone.

I looked around, it was dark but at the same time it wasnt. There lights everywhere, they were either party lights or sim lights at a table. There were people everywhere! Whether they were walking around or just dancing. I was attempting to manouver around them all but was having no luck until I saw an opening, I took that chance and ended up at the bar.

"Finally!" I quickly sat down and the bartender turned around and smailed at me. He was actually not that bad looking.

"What can I get you lovely young lady?"

I smiled." Uhm.." I had never drank before and I didnt know what to say. I noticed to my right there was a man staring at me, he was a couple seats away.

I stared at him for a mment. "Ma'm?" The bartneder said.

"Oh! sorry I'll have-"

I was cut off by the man who was staring at me. "I'll take 2 of the regular, one for me and one for the lady."

The guy got up and sat next to me..

"And who are you?" I could bearly see his face due to the lighting. My eyes had not adjusted yet.

The man let out a familiar laugh. "Could you at least say thank you?"

"Thank you. Now whats your name?"

The man spun around in the chair until he was facing away from te bar, he placed his elbows on the bar and looked at me, giving me a toothy grin. I could tell he was drunk already.

"Soul."

"Soul? Thats a uhm- different name.."

Soul shrugegd. "So can I know the name of the woman I just bought a drink for?"

"Ma-Milly."

"Milly?"

I nodded. I obviously lied because I don't know this man.

"Thats a nice name.." He plainly said looking down.

There was something bothering this guy.. I could tell.. I was cut off by my thoughts when the bartender set our drinks down.

"Thank you." I smiled and took a drink.

Soul spun around and picked up his drink and started chugging it. I placed my drink back down and watched him. He's drinking away a problem.. he didn't come here to have fun.

"Are you okay?"

He finished his drink and set it down and looked at me.

"Milly was it? You seem like a happy girl..."

I tilted my head slightly.

"So tell me this..." He took a deep breath and began to speak, his voice was shaky. "Whats it like to have something to smile about? To laugh freely? To have no worries? To live instead of existing?"

At this point I was able to make out his features. His hair was messy and white.. his eyes were crimson red.. his teeth were shark like.. He was actually a bit terrifying..

"I uhm-"

I was cut off when he continued to speak. "Its a dangerous thought isnt it?"

"Hm?"

"-Not wanting to live...but right now.. it sounds so tempting.."

He looked down at the bar blankly... He looked like he was about to cry.. I almost wanted to cry.

"Hey, S-Soul?"

He looked up at me.

"Are you scared?"

"Scared?"

He laughed. "What a stupid question.."

I smiled. "You are scraed.. But thats not a bad thing.. Being scared is what makes you stronger."

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"What?"

He leaned in closer to me.

"You sound like someone I knew.. She used to say shit like that."

A leaned back slightly, he was getting uncomfortably close. He was almost leaning out of his chair.

His nose was almost touching mine when suddenly, he fell out of his chair onto the ground. A few people around him laughed.

"Are you alright?!" I chuckled slightly.

He stood up and stumbled backwards, he placed his hand on the bar stool to keep his balance but by doing so he pushed the chair over causing him to fall again, this time bringing the chair with him.

I laughed and helped him up, putting one arm over my shoulder.

"Its time to take you home I guess." I looked around for Blair. I saw her on the dance floor with multiple guys.. She wouldnt even notice I was gone.

As i left the club I asked if anyone knew him. No one did. So I opened the car door and set him in the passenger seat. I walked around and got in the driver seat.

"Soul? Did you come here with anyone?"

"N-nooo.."

I sighed. "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

All Soul dd is point in a direction before passing out.

Geeze. How many drinks did he actually have? He seemed fine a few minutes ago..

I shrugged and started the car and drove home to mine and Blairs apartment. When I arrived, I stuggled to get myself and Soul upstairs, but surprisingly, I managed. When we got inside I threw him onto the couch where I took off his shoes and jacket.

I took off my heels and set them and his shoes near the front door.

I watched him lay there for a second before I decided to get him a pillow and blanket. Once I got him situated on the couch I decided it was ok to go take a shower.

When I started to walked away Soul stretched his body out causing his hand to knock over the picture of me and my ex-partner on the end table next to the couch.

I rolled my eyes removed his hand off of the table and picked up the picture. I smiled as I looked at the picture. But my smile soon turned to a frown. I looked at the man sleeping on the couch then the picture. My eyes widened, I dropped the picture on the floor causing it to shadder.

"Shit!" I fell to my knees and began picking up the glass. I rushed to throw it away. I looked at the picture again before hiding it in a drwaer.

I looked at Soul sleeping on the couch one last time before going to take a shower.

-SOULS POV-

"Ugh..." Why the hell does my head hurt so bad? I feel like I need to throw up... whats the smell? It smells like breakfast. I slowly opened my eyes allowing them to adjust to the lighting. Where am I? I looked over to see a familiar tv, coffee table, the same decorations.. Oh.. I'm home. Wait.. WHAT.

Fuck what the hell am I doing here?! I could hear humming coming from behind me. I rolled over on my side and peeked over my shoulder into the kitchen area. I couldnt see who was humming but it was a woman with long wavey ash blonde hair that went down her thighs.. It was Maka... She was facing the stove (Away from Soul, so she has her back turned to Soul) . Why the hell did she tell me her name was Milly last night? Wait. Why was Maka at a club?

I rolled quietly off of the couch. I was about to stand when suddenly I felt it. I was about to throw up. I covered my mouth and ran to the bathroom. I left the door open, I was in too much of a rush to close it. I immediately hunched over the toilet and started to throw up.

After a few minutes I stopped throwing up, and I felt a little better but I was exauhsted. I flushed the toilet and leaned against the bathtub with one hand resting over my stomach. I closed my eyes trying to catch my breath when I heard a faint knocking coming from the doorway. I opened my eyes and saw Maka satnding there with a worried look.

"Feeling any better?" she asked.

"Y-yeah..Thanks. M-Milly."

I stood slowly. "Y-You cooking breakfatst?"

She glanced into the kitchen then at me. "Oh" she smiled. "Yeah I thought it would be nice to hang out and eat a little something, ya know... get to know eachother better, since you did buy me a drink last night.. .Plus.. You were pretty drunk last night so I thought some nice breakfast would help perk you up."

"T-Thanks.."

I didn't know if I should stay and talk to her or if I should..Just leave.. But damn.. do I miss her...

I followed Maka back into the kitchen where she offered me a seat. I sat down as she served me breakfast.

We started eating in silence for a while until I decided to speak. "S-So Milly."

"Hm?"

"Uhm.. Last night- Uh- We didn't- Did we do any-"

"No!" Maka laughed. "No we didn't."

I laughed with her, "Oh thank Death.."

Maka gave me a displeased look.

"Oh wait no! You're pretty! but I just..." I sighed and slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand. "I just don't like that one night stand kinda stuff."

She nodded. "I know what you mean."

We started eating again until Maka spoke.

"Soul. What do you do for a living?"

"Oh- I...I'm a-"

"Sorry you don't have to answer that, I just- Did you used to go to the Academy here?"

"Oh! Uhm yeah. Did you?"

She nodded. "I dropped out though after I got into an accident.."

"Accident?... W-What happened? If you don't mind me asking."

"I don't remember too well. All I know from what my friends and doctor told me is that.. Me and my weapon partner were in a battle. We were fighting the Keishan.. but it all went wrong. I was too weak to do anything really. My weapon partner died protecting me.. but some how in the end.. I managed to pull through on my own and defeat the keishan.. but I didn't want another partner, so I dropepd out."

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Don't be." She said smiling. "So... Are you meister or weapon?"

"Weapon."

She nodded. "Let me guess... You're a...Scythe!"

"Y-Yeah?"

"My old partner was a scythe.."

-MAKAS POV-

"My old partner was a scythe."

He looked at me slightly confused. I'm attempting to get him to break.

"What was your old partner like?"

"I don't remember him too well.. I can;t remember our memories together, his name, his face, his voice, laugh.. anything." I pretended to almost cry.

"Maka... I'm so sorry for everything bad thats happened to you if I could I'd-"

"What?!"

Souls eyes widened. I got him.

"Did you call me Maka?!" I stood up.

"N-No!"

"You did!" I pointed at him.

"I knew it! You're my old weapon partner aren't you!?"

"No! I don't even know you!"

"Then why did you call me Maka?!"

He stood up.

"Tell me!" I yelled.

Souls sighed and looked at me. " Listen I-"

Suddenly the door to my apartment busted open and Kid BlackStar professor Stein Papa and Lord Death ran in.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Me and Soul both said at the same time.

We both looked at each other.

Suddenly Papa tackled Soul and held him pinned to the ground while Kid and BlackStar pointed their weapons at him.

"Papa!?"

"Maka darling get back! This man is dangerous!"

I backed up a little.

"Maka wait! Ugh- Get off me you fucking- Ah!" He was cut off when my papa hit him in the head.

"Shut up you demon."

"Spirit.. Thats enough." Stein said.

"Demon?" I asked. "Professor Stein please tell me.. whats going on!"

My Papa stood up bringing Soul with him, only hand cuffed.

"Maka.." Soul looked at me with sad eyes.

I didn't know what to do or what to think...

"Kid, BlackStar... please tell me."

They both looked at me and lowered their weapons.

My Papa started to shove and push Soul out of the apartment.

"We can't tell you.." Kid said before following my Papa, BlackStar right behind him. Which only left me Professor Stein and Lord Death.

"Maka-" Stein started to speak.

"Someone tell me whats happening, now."

"It'd be best is you heard it from Soul yourself." Lrod Death said.

"Well can I speak to him?!"

"Not for a while. We need to question him first." Professor Stein said.

"What?! Question him about what?!"

"That's confidential." Lord Death said.

"Maka why don't you go stay with Kid for a while? Clear your mind on some things."

"Wait- No! My mind will never be clear until I talk to S-Soul! Who is he to me?! What past do we share together! I need to know! I'm going with you guys.."

"Maka I don't"

"I'm going."

-SCENE JUMP-

Instead of going to the academy, we all arrived at Kids were all sitting down at the dining room table. Kid and Professor Stein were preparing themselves to explain what was going on.

"So what is Soul to me?"

"He is.. Nothing. You knew him. But as far as a partner goes, he was not." Kid said.

My heart sank, I was so sure he was my ex-partner...

"Soul is a demon, a half demon half god half human.."

I nodded attempting to understand.

"Soul suffered from an injury long ago that infected him with BlackBlood."

"Black Blood?!" I said.

"Yes...And now that Soul's demon blood is coursing thrugh his veins it is mixing with the BlackBlood and is causing Soul to go crazy, he is unstable. He has already killed 3 people unfortunately. It technically was not him but at the same time it is him so at this moment in time we are still unsure of how to handle the situation, so he is locked away in the academy." Professor Stein explained.

"Oh.. I see...So I can't see him?"

"I'm afraid not..." Kid said.

Kid BlackStar, Lord Death, and Professor Stein all exchanged looks for a moment, then soon after, they all nodded.

"Maka...There is also something else."

"What is it?"

I heard footsteps behind me. Everyone looked at whoever was behind me. I slowly turned around in my chair. I was shocked when I saw who was there.

"Mama!" I jumped up and hugged her.

"I thought you werent coming down for another few days?!"

My Mama smiled. "Well thats true but I had some business to take care of.. " She tucked my hair behind my ears,she looked like she was about to cry. "My.. you've grown into a beautiful young woman havent you?"

I smiled. "I've missed you. "

"Me too." She hugged me tightly before releasing me and sitting in the chair beside me.

"Maka... Theres something important you must know."

"Whats wrong?"

"Theres something bad about to happen... For a fact.. And its going to happen sooner than you think. The world will fall to madness if we cant stop it."

"What is 'it' ?"

"We think its Soul.. He's losing it.. quickly. If we can't control him then he'll go on a killing spree.. Starting with Death City. "

"I-I don't understand."

"A few months ago, the council and Kami discovered a prophecy, that basically said that some unstoppable evil will arise and only one person can stop it, and that person will be our messiah, we thought that person was Soul, but reent events have shown us that we were wrong, we now have reasons to beleive that Soul is the evil we fear, and now we need a new messiah to stop him..and if we are correct about Soul and this new messiah fails then... the world will fall into madness the gate to Limbo will open and this world will be nothing but dust in the wind." Lord Death explained to me.

I took a deep breath. "So whose the messiah?"

They all looked at each other before looking at me. "You." They all 5 said in unison.
