I did not edit this chapter at all! Sorry! Its late and I really wanted to just hurry and post it! Sorry again for the late update!

Chapter 4 No Mercy

"You are." They all said in unison.

"Wait.. What?! Why me?!"

"Because you may not know it but you are the strongest one here. One who can come into contact with Soul, you can talk to him, but if that doesnt work then.. you can fight him.. You're strong. Stronger than all of us. Beleive it or not."

"But how... I-" I looked up at everyone, they all looked sad, they were all counting on me.. I sighed. "I can try to talk to Soul.." I closed my eyes fighting back tears. I was sad.. but afraid of Soul. Why am I the only one who can come in close contact with him. Why me? I felt like it was better to leave the questions for Soul himself rather than everyone else.

"I want to talk to Soul. Now."

"No Maka. I'm sorry. I know you must have a lot of questions but now is not a good time. Right now, the best thing for you to do is to go home and relax. Ease your mind a little." Professor Stein said.

"But-"

"No buts Maka. Listen to professor Stein.." My Mama said.

Knowing better than to argue with my Mama, I nodded as I got up and left the mansion. Once I was home I dug through my pocket and pulled out the picture of me and Soul.

"I know we're connected some how..." I looked at the door. "You're the only one who can fill in the blanks.."

I ran into my room and got dressed into some casual clothes. Once I was dressed I placed the picture into the pocket of my hoodie.

"Alright... It's time to sneak into the academy and get some answers."

-SCENE JUMP-

"Where the hell am I?" I asked myself as I looked around the corridors of the underground tunnles of the academy. (The prison)

I sighed. "This was a bad idea..." I stopped when I heard a cell door open. I ran to the edge of the wall and looked behind the corner at the source of the sound.

It was Professor Stein exiting a cell.

"We'll talk again in a few hours Soul.." Proffessor Stein said before leaving, heading the opposite direction.

"Soul.." I whispred.

When Stein was gone, I quietly appraoched Soul's cell... Onc eI reached it, I looked in without letting Soul notice me.

Soul was sitting on his bed, he was hugging his knees into his chest and had his face burried into his knees, I noticed his hands were chained together, the chain was attached to the stone wall. The chain was actually pretty lengthy but still at the same time it gave him little freedom.

Once I assumed it was safe I showed myself.

"Soul?" I said quietly.

Soul jerked his head up and looked at me, he looked shocked.

"Mak- wait what are you doing here?"

"I came to ask you some questions.."

He gave me an angry look. "Well go away, I can't answer your nothing for me to tell you. Forget about me, just leave me alone before you get in trouble."

"No. I came all this way to ask you some questions and damn it I'm gonna get some answers."

I sat down next to his cell. I noticed Soul slightly smiled. "Thats so like you.." He said quietly.

"Huh?"

"Nothing.." His smile faded. "What did you want to know?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Soul-"

"No. Who. Are. You."

Soul rolled his eyes. "Why do I need to tell you?"

I ignored his question and pulled out the picture of me and him, I balled it up and threw it at him.

"Hey!"

"Is that you?"

Soul gave me a confused look then looked at the ball of paper. He reached for it and unfolded it. His eyes widened slightly.

"Is it?"

"Where did you get this?"

"Thats not what I asked!"

"Maka! Stop!"

"Why?! I need to know these things! I can't remember and I feel like I'm forgetting something important but no matter how hard I try I can't remember and it hurts and-"

"MAKA!"

I stopped, noticing I had a river of tears streaming down my cheeks.

Soul jumped out of his bed and got as close to me as he could. I backed up slightly.

"Maka! Listen to me! You have to leave. Now! Please forget about me! Save yourself from the pain and sorrow that will follow.."

I noticed Soul's voice was shaking.

"S-Soul.. I-I can't..You're connected to me, to my past. The part of my past I have forgotten.. I have to know who you are to me..."

Soul bowed his head.

"I-If you tell me.. I'll let you out of this cell, you can run away from here, from me and you wont have to worry."

It was silent for a good minute until Soul broke the silence.

"My name is Soul Evans.. Better known as Soul Eater, your partner. I was your weapon a long time ago when we used to go to the academy. A war broke out, we fought the Keishan and won, but at the same time we lost. Things happened, people got hurt. I went 'missing' for long time.. 3 years later I showed up.. you found out I was a demon god.. but you didnt care.. you were still there for me through everything. We faced many foes who tried to take you away from me in attempts to drag me to Limbo where I would rule. But they failed. At that time.. you were pregnant.. with my child. I tried to keep you safe by asking you to stay home.. but how could I? It's unlike you to stay home knowing someone is in trouble... its how you are.. you have a kind heart.. but I was unable to protect you.. you got hurt.. lost the baby. You were depressed and only growing farther away each time I attempted to console.. so I took away your memories so you could be happy.. but I failed again.. you found me... A-and now.. things are only going to get worse. I've already killed 3 innocent people.. It's the demon inside of me trying everything to break free.. but I keep fighting it..."

It was silent a few moments after that.. I couldnt stop the tears. "I-I don't understand."

It took a minute before I realised how close Soul and I were. We were both just a few feet away, he was able to stick his head through the space between the bars of his cell but not his body.

"Thats all there is to know. Maka.."

"H-How could you?! How could you take memories like that from me?!"

"Maka..."

I stopped crying for a moment to listen to Soul.

"I love you.. You have a kind heart.. You are a kind person.. You always will be.. but in the end.. that kindess will be the end of you."

Soul was able to place one of his hands on the back of my head. He gripped onto my hair, tugging it a little and pulled me towards him as he leaned in.

I had no time to react. Before I knew it.. our lips were connected. I didn't try to pull away. I noticed Soul's eyes were closed, the longer he kissed me the tighter his grip got. When his grip tightened I tried to pull away but I started to feel weak, my body went limp, my eye lids felt heavy, I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer... and after that.. everything went black.

"Maka?!" I heard my name get called out. I opened my eyes and sat up, only to realise I was surrounded by a bunch of people I didn't recognize. (Kid, BlackStar, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, Spirit, Stein, Kami and Lord Death)

"Maka! Where did Soul go?!" A boy with black hair and 3 white stripes going through it asked while gesturing to an empty cell.. was he asking me?

There were too many people speaking at once. The room was full of voices. I couldn't focus.

"W-What happened? Who are you people?!" I asked holding my head.

The people around me gasped, all of them except for a man with red hair.

"WHAT?! MAKA DARLING COME ON YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER-AH"

The man with red hair was cut off when he was hit in the head by the man wearing a skull mask.

"I-I'm sorry I'm not sure who you people are..." I said.

A man with a screw in his head knelt down in front of me.

"Do you remember what happened?" He asked but I was silent. "Do you know who we are?" I didnt respond. "Do you remember your name?" He asked.

"M-My name?"

"Yes your name."

"My name... my name... my name?" I whispered to myself slightly panicked.

The man stood up and began speaking to everyone about my condition but I was not listeining, I blocked out all their voices.

My name? What the hells is my name? Mynamemynamemynamemynamemynamemynamemyname...

I kept repeating it in my head as I ran my fingers through my hair. I have... forgotten something important.. Wait? This isnt the first time.. I.. I remember- My eyes widened as visions went through my head. I heard voices of people... Soul.. my Papa.. Mama. Proffessor Stein, Lord Death, Kid, Patty, Liz, Black Star, Tsubaki... but theres a name I'm forgetting.. whose name is it?!

Oh wait...my name..

"My name." I said normally, everyones eyes were on me as I stood, my head slightly bowed.

"Is Maka." I looked up and glared at Professor Stein. "And I remember everything."

-SOULS POV-

Everything happened so fast. After I had kissed Maka that last time, I restored her memories. All of them... Right now, I'm not sure if that was the best idea. But after she passes out, I took the chance to get out. Once I was out, I took off, not hesitating to look back. Now, theres no telling what they will do to me if they catch me, they might banish me to Limbo or worse.. kill me. So I got the idea to pack all my stuff and leave but after a minute of running I decided it wasnt a good idea to go back to Kid's place.

I got to a dark alley and decided to rest there for a few minutes. I leaned against the wall panting. I looked up at the sun.

"What the hell am I doing?"

I looked back down and rached in my pocket, pulling out the picture of me and Maka. I stared at it for a few seconds before holding it out in the palm of my hand and burning it. I heard sirens in the distance and decided it wasnt a good idea to stay in the alley. So I began running again, not sure where I was going, but anywhere but here was fine with me.

As I was running, my feet started getting weaker, I was unable to pick them up higher and ended up tripping over my own feet, I fell onto the brick sidewalk. I laid there for a second until I heard more footsteps. I got up quickly and noticed I was surrounded. In front of me were Stein, Spirit and Maka... And behind me were, Kid, Patty, Liz, BlackStar and Tsubaki.

"Shit..." I said to myself.

"Soul, just stop running and come back with us." Kid said.

I looked over my shoulder to speak to him. "What so I can just go back to a cold dark cell only to find out a few days later, that I'm on a death penalty or might get sent to Limbo? Fuck that."

I turned facing Stein.

"Soul.." Maka said. "Please.. please just listen to them, if you go back everything will be okay.. don't run anymore..."

"Maka..." I looked down. "I can't.."

"Maka get back!" Spirit said while shoving Maka back more.

"Soul, don't maek us fight you." Stein said. "You're out numbered."

I was silent.

Stein sighed. "Very well."

Spirit, Liz, Patty and Tsubaki all transformed into their weapon form. I saw Kami running up, she paused for a moment analyzing the situation before pulling Maka to her and backing up.

Still looking down, I held out my hand and transformed it into the 2 bladed scythe, a few small flames were on it, but it wasnt engulfed in flames like it usually was.

I heard footsteps behind me, I could tell, Kid and BlackStar were running towards me, one closer than the other. I waited for the right moment to turn around. When I turned around, my blade met with BlackStars. Kid was still running at me, he was planning on jumping over me. When Kid got close enough, I turned sideways, and with all my strength kicked Kid away from me. BlackStar was slightly stunned, so I took the moment shove his weapon out of the way, causing him to back up a little, I formed my hand into a fist, brought my arm back and sent it forward punching BlackStar in the gut, causing him to cough up a little blood. The force of my punch sent BlackStar into a nearby building.

"Kid! BlackStar!" I heard Maka yell. She was worried about them.. but they were okay. I didn't want to hurt them.. but I didn't want to get caught either.

"Soul! Please stop!" Maka yelled. I ignored her and turned around facing Stein who was holding a black scythe in his hand.

Stein turned the screw in his head a few times before he began charging towards me. I stood there watching him. Stein lifted his scythe back ready to bring it down on me. I held up my arm that was now a scythe catching the blade of Steins scythe in between my two blades. I pulled my arm back, yanking the Spirit out of Steins hands, the blade of Spirits weapon from became embeded into the pavement a few feet behind me. Stein glared at me, but at the same time he was in shock.

I knelt down quickly and held out one of my legs and spun hitting Steins legs causing him to fall. As he was falling I grabbed Stein by the collar and threw him across the street, as he hit the side walk he tore up multiple bricks.

"SOUL!" Maka and Kami yelled.

I ignored them and took off running, climbing the nearest building and disappearing.

-MAKAS POV-

I ran away from my mother and ran to Stein. I placed my hand on his shoulder and helped him sit up.

"A-Are you okay?" Tears were threatening to fall.

"I'm fine Maka... Soul is stronger than I thought. Too strong for us...Go check on Kid and BlackStar."

I nodded and ran to Kid and BlackStars aid. When I arrived BlackStar and Kid were already Standing up dusting themselves off.

"Are you guys alright?"

"We're okay." Kid said.

Patty, Liz, Tsubaki, and Papa all transformed out of their weapon form and helped their Meisters. But my Papa ran to me.

"Maka, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine Papa."

My Mama and Stein walked up to us.

"What are we gonna do about Soul?" Mama asked.

"I suppose we could report to Lord Death, but what will probably happen is, we will just have to sit back and watch."

"What?!" Everyone said in unison.

"Since he was able to defeat some of the best meisters around thats a clear sign that he's getting stronger by the day."

"So we should try and do something about it while he's at this state. Why wait until he's stronger?" BlackStar argued.

"We already tried. Don't you remember being punched into a building?" My Mama said.

"Theres one meister he still hasn't defeated yet.." I said.

Everyone looked at me. "Who?" Kid asked.

"Me... He hasnt tried to fight me."

"Maka.. You were a mieister.. its been years almost 5 since you have even wielded a weapon." Kid said.

"I can still do it!" I said.

"Who will e your weapon anyways?" BlackStar said.

I pointed at my Papa. "Papa will be my weapon."

"Hm?! Maka, This wont be a good idea. He's stronger than us. And he may not even want to fight you. He might just run off." Stein said.

I sighed. "I suppose you guys are right... I don't think he'd fight me either..."

-SOULS POV-

After I ran far away from the others I fell to my knees and screamed. What can I do now? I betrayed everyone.. I have no where to run to.. I failed to protect my friends, Maka, and Death city... I was now looked at as their enemy..

I looked up into the sky. "The prophecy said that there would be a messiah- that someone would be their holy ghost. That person wasn't me... "

I looked down at my hands."So I must be... what they feared from the beginning. The evil they wanted to prevent."

-IN SOULS MIND-

"Yes Soul... you betrayed your friends..."

That voice... its the little demon. "What do you want?"

"I'm here to help you.. to give you more power!"

"Screw you... I don't need your help."

"Oh really? Look at where you are.. You have no where to go.. no one to run to.. As far as you know, you have no future in this world.. And you know why?"

"Why..."

"Because you are a killer.. Thats what you have become... You think if you wait for all this to blow over they would welcome you with open arms once you return?"

"They might.. I could apologize."

"Ah! Thats where you're wrong!" The little demon chuckled. "Think about it! Why should you apologize for the monster you've become? None of them have ever apologized for making you this way."

"What" I said quietly.

"Doesnt that make you mad?" He laughed.

I looked at him as he circled me. Mad? But.. they didn't do anything to me.. right?

"If you're mad, be mad at yourself, not me. Be mad for always being nice. Be mad for apologizing for things you didn't do. Be mad for getting attached. Be mad for thinking about them, but most of all be mad for not hating them, when you should've."

"Hating them?" What am I thinking? I could never hate them.. their my friends.

"Yes, you hate them. Don't you?"

"N-No, I couldn't- I don't."

"Dont you realize that you're waiting on something thats never going to happen? People who are stuck in the past are dead Soul. Are you dead?"

"No." I'm not dead..

"Then what are you?"

"I'm alive." Am I alive? Really?.. I dont remember anymore... I-I can't remember... and it makes me mad.

"And...?"

"And angry.."

"Who are you angry at?"

Thats right... they did this to me.. Lord Death.. Stein... Spirit... Maka...Kami... Kid... BlackStar... all of them...

"All of them."

The little demon smiled at me.

"Come with me Soul. Forget the risk.. take the fall. If its what you want. Then its worth it all." The little demon said holding out his hand.

I reached out and grabbed the little demons hand.

-THIRD PERSON POV-

Soul sat in the middle of the street on his knees staring off in to space. Groups of people pass by paying no mind to his strange actions. Just ignoring him.. someone would help him.

Souls hands twitched at the same time.. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Soul shot his eyes open. But they were different. They were still crimson red but the cornea of his eye turned black.. leaving him with full demon eyes. (fun fact: the white part of your eye is called the cornea!)

Soul quickly diverted his attention to the nearest bystander, it was a male who seemed to be in his early 30s who was passing by with a woman in her mid 20's. Soul changed his arm into the double bladed scythe and swung his arm to the side, easily slicing through the couple that was passing by.

Other people witnessed Soul's actions, some froze in fear, others ran off and screamed. After the couple fell dead to the ground Soul held the a scythe up to his mouth and slowly licked some of the blood off of it. Soul smiled his toothy grin then stood. He looked at a few of the people who were watching him before looking down at the couple he just murdered.

Soul chuckled quietly before jumping onto a near building and climbed up it and disappeared.

-MAKA NARORATING-

We all agreed that we should wait and hope Soul would come back... so thats what we did... we waited.. but nothing happened.. things just got worse.. rumors spread of a monster going around town, murdering innocent people. We knew it had to be Soul because there was almost nothing left of the bodies. They were torn apart... we couldn't even identify them... It was still hard for me to believe that Soul would do this.. I couldnt accept it. I didnt want to believe that Soul took my memories from me, that he lied to me.. but then again, all at the same time he did it for me...

-THIRD PERSON POV-

The office was silent, there was no sound except the sound of typingon his computer and Spirit Albarn pacing around the room...

Spirit stopped for a moment and sighed loudly before turning around and walking up to Steins desk, he placed a hand on the desk next to the keyboard and leaned forward to look at the comuter screen.

"So...What has the demon boy been up to?" Spirit asked as he directed his attention to a pile of papers and began shuffeling through them.

Stein looked up from his computer with a raised brow. "Oh you mean Soul."

Spirit looked at Stein as he spoke and twisted the screw in his head. "Well, demonic activity and demon sightings have gone down, aside from his own activity and-"

"Only because the demons are afraid of him." Spirit interrupted.

Stein looked a little frustrated. "Well, if I were you, I'd be afraid too because the death toll has increased in the past 4 days."

"So you're saying he's getting worse."

"I'm afraid thats what it looks like." Stein said before looking back at his computer.

"Well, what are we gonna do about it? Are we gonna just wait around while he's off killing innocent people?" Spirit questioned a little angry.

Stein stood up. "Well, I'm not saying that we should do nothing. But what can we do? What power do we have to stop a demon god? Because I don't have any ideas if you think of one then let me know, but until then the only thing we can do, is try to keep people off the streets, sit back and see how this rolls out."

Spirit slammed his fist down on the table. "See how this rolls out?! Are you kidding me?! What if he goes crazy and goes after Maka."

"I'm sure we both know, Soul would never hurt Maka. After everything he's sacrificed to protect her and make her happy...And is your family the only one you're worried about? There are hundreds of families in this city."

"I have every right to be worried about my family."

"..."

"So.. You want us to do nothing?"

"..."

Spirit stomped past Stein shoving him a little. "Pathetic." He said quietly before exiting the room.

Stein sighed and sat back down and continued typing. "We could banish him to Limbo.. but this is Soul we're talking about here... not just some average demon."

-SCENE JUMP-

Soul stood slightly hunched over a mans dead body. His arm,now a blade is covered in blood. Soul grinned as he lifted the blade,then he slowly licked off a little bit of the blood. At that moment he closed his eyes and breathed in slowly, enjoying the taste of human blood. Before exhaling Soul transformed the blade back into his arm.

Soul stuck both his hands in the pockets of his hoody and began walking out of the dark ally.

"Ahh that was fun!" He said cheerfully.

He froze and looked up at the moon. "Its pretty late, should go home now... But I'm still...Hungry." As soul spoke the last word of his sentence he diverted his attention to a woman walking down the street with what looked like grocery bags.

Soul cracked/popped his knuckles and sighed. "Lets get this over with." He said before leaping into the air and landing next to the woman.

The woman was startled and dropped her bags of food before backing up against the building. She stared at Soul wide eyed. Soul turned his body to face her, he smiled showing his sharp teeth, he stared at her with his glowing crimson red eyes.

"W-W-What do you want?! I-I have money! Please take it!" The woman pleaded as tears streamed down her face.

Soul grabbed the purse and tossed it to the side. "I don't want your money. Theres something more that I want from you..."

The woman with her back pressed against the wall slid down it until the touched the ground, never breaking eye contact.

Soul looked down at her enjoying every moment of it. "What I want is to ea-" Soul was cut off when a gunshot was heard. Soul was a little shocked, he could feel a scratch on his right cheek where the bullet brushed past him, he could feel the blood drip down.

The woman took this chance to run away, picking up her purse in the process, never stopping to ask questions or to look back.

Soul clenched his fist before turning around. "Who the hell do you think you are?!"

Souls eyes widened a bit before they returned to normal. "Oh." He laughed. "I see."

"It's time to die demon! I'm here to end all the mayhem you've caused!" Spirit yelled as he held the gun pointed at Soul.

Soul transformed his arm into the scythe. "Mayhem?!" Soul laughed loudly. "You think this is as bad as it gets?! Well then.. you're in for a rude awakening! Because this- this is just the quiet part before the actual storm hits!"

Souls blade became engulfed in flames, he grinned before he charged at Spirit with his arm back ready to slice him up into a million peices. Soul is just moments away before he can tear Spirit up when ...

-3RD PERSON POV-

Soul was just a few inches away from Spirit when suddenly, multiple gun shots were fired. Spirit grinned evily at Soul as he stood there frozen, unable to move.

"W-What... Why can't I-"

Spirit chuckled slightly as he lowered the gun, looking over the few wounds Soul was bleeding from.

"These aren't normal bullets...They are made of silver, so it will actually do damage to a demon or any supernatural being. And as a bonus.. the amo was doused in poison, so now you are currently paralyzed." Spirit said while with one index finger he poked Soul ever so slightly causing Soul to wun-willingly fall to the ground.

Souls arm transformed back to normal as he laid there. Spirit grabbed onto the back of Souls head, by the hair and held his face up.

"Now. You're coming with me."

-MAKAS POV-

I ran through the doors to a hospital room to see Soul laying down in bed but.. he was chained.. awake but not moving, just glaring at me.

Stein laid down his papers he was reading and greeted me. "Maka. Welcome."

"W-what happened?"

"Spirit-Your father decided to act on his own in capturing Soul. And he did. So I congratu;ate him, I never saw this coming really."

"Why isn't Soul moving?"

"He's paralyzed."

"But he's also chained to the bed and floor."

"You never know when it could wear off."

I nodded and walked up to Soul. "How are you feeling?"

"Maka, I don't think thats a-"

"Papa please! Just... Can you leave the room?"

"Maka I-" Spirit sighed and began to walk out. Before closing the door to the room, Spirit glared at Soul then gave Maka a gentle look before he closed the door.

-MAKAS POV-

After my Papa left the room, I turned back to Soul but was startled when Soul was sitting up in bed.

"S-Soul."

Soul lifted his hands just slightly, due to the chains he could bearly lift his hands an inch off the bed. Soul frouned then looked at me.

" I guess it's understandable to chain me to the bed and floor." Souls voice sounded slightly different. Deeper, huskier.

"Sou-"

Soul interrupted me. "But you're all stupid if you think these chains alone can hold me here."

"Soul why are you doing this? Whats happened to you?" Tears were threatening to fall. "Y-You've killed multiple people... And-"

Soul began to chuckle. "It's because I'm tired."

"Tired?..."

"I got tired of fighting.. fighting my family, the black blood, the demon inside of me. This world wouldnt accept me even if I could've controlled it.. thats what they showed me.. so I decided it was better to hurt others rather than being the one being hurt.. Why should I protect those who are afraid of me..And besides a monster born from dusk til dawn cant be your saviour." Soul looked down not making eye contact.

"So what?! You just accepted it?! You just said oh well everyone's afraid of me so oh well?!"

Soul jerked his head in my direction, he looked angry. I flinched slightly. "I didn't accept the demon inside of me, or the black blood." Soul tilted his head to the left. "I simply surpassed it."

Soul was honestly freaking me out.. I have never seen him in this state before. "W-We're not afraid of you Soul."

Soul looked at me straight.

"So you're telling me that if I go in there and talk to Kid, BlackStar, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, Kami, Spirit, Stein, and Lord Death. All of them would accept me?... All of them?"

I looked down. "No..."

"Then I'm leaving."

Soul started to pull his hands up, I could see the chains bending slightly, he was strong. He could easily break them in a matter of seconds.

I stood up quickly. "Soul stop! I'm not letting you leave."

Soul froze and looked up at me, squinting his eyes. A moment later his eyes grew wide. He began to laugh.

"What?"

"S-So you're the new messiah? You have become their holy ghost?!"

"Holy ghost?" I said to myself. Wait.. "Y-Yes I am."

"This has to be a joke!"

"Its not.. It seems you have forgotten who you are talking to."

"No- I know who you are. Maka Albarn, you may have defeated Asura.. but theres something you need to process... I-Am-Not-Asura. I am Soul Evans. The Demon God."

I slightly nodded. " I know."

"How do you expect to defeat me with no weapon?.." Soul grinned bearing his sharp teeth. "Oh and also.. How can yo fight someone you're still in love with?"

My heart started punding faster.

"Exactly.. You can't..."

Soul stood up, he mustve broken his chains without me noticing. When he stood he was taller than me.

"You can't fight me.. you never will. You can not save your friends. This city.. The world. From me. They may call you their savior but in reality you're nothing but false hope. Broken dreams. Lost faith."

Soul smiled even more. I didnt want to beleive him, but he's right. I don't have the heart to fight him, I can't I love him.. I cant even beleive he's even doing this... I want it to be a dream so bad.. but...

Soul frowned. "Your old man interrupted my meal.. So I'm hungry..."

Souls eyes started to change. The cornea of his eye began to change from white to black.. I was frightened, I had never seen anything like this before.

Souls hand then changed into a double bladed scythe. My eyes widened.

"So I guess I'll have to go ahead and deal with you." He grinned.

Soul lifted his scythe back ready to bring it down on me when I screamed for mercy.

"SOUL PLEASE DON'T" I covered my head and ducked slightly, Tears streaming from my eyes.

What am I doing? I never flinch in front of my enemies.. But.. its been so long since I have ever weilded a weapon.. since I have faught... and Soul-He's not my enemy.. he's my-

I looked up to see Soul, frozen.. Just staring at me his eyes were still the same, he still was holding his arm in the air ready to strike me at any given moment.

"Huh?"

"Maka-"

Soul was interrupted when my Mama and Papa came running in, Stein and Kid following them.

My Papa held up a pistol and pointed it at Soul.

"MAKA GET AWAY FROM THAT DEMON." My Papa yelled.

"Maka. Please slowly step away from Soul." Stein said. Kid was gesturing me to run overt to him.

"SPIRIT! PUT THE DAMN GUN DOWN, OUR DAUGHTER IS RIGHT THERE!" Mama yelled.

"I SEE THAT!" Papa yelled back.

I ganced behind me at Soul who still, had his scythe arm in the air, his eyes were still black and red but he was looking at everyone, he looked pissed.

I looked at my Papa directly in the eyes. "No." I stepped in front of Soul, protecting him. I held my arms out.

"WHAT?!" Everyone said in unison, except me and Soul.

"Y-You can't hurt Soul! I wont let you!"

My Papa held firmly onto the gun, but did not show any signs of pulling the trigger.

"You can break my soul, take my life away, beat me, hurt me, kill me. But for the love of Death." Tears started streaming down my cheeks. "Do not, touch Soul."

Soul chuckled slightly. "You're too kind Maka Albarn. "

I bowed my head slightly. "Do not mistake my kindness for weakness..."

"Oh I don't... But- Corner a dog and it's gonna bite." Soul said.

"What?" I looked behind me, everything happened in slow motion. Soul was bringing his blade down at me, I didn't know what to do, how to react. I never saw this coming.

I closed my eyes expecting the worse but, the only thing I felt was a pair of hands pushing me, away. I fell onto the floor, I was shocked at the scene before me when I opened my eyes.

There was blood everywhere.
