The day began as normal in Death City. The sun rose with its creepy laugh and smile, school began and all the students went to their classes. Maka and Soul went to Stein's Biology class, walking into the classroom they both saw a giant bird ready to dissected.
"Uhhhhg." Maka moaned. "I don't need to see Stein get a hard on for dead bird guts right now." She plopped her head on the desked and sat there.
"Geez Maka what's with you being uncool this morning?" Soul replied worrying about his ego more than his meister. Looking over at the young honey-blonde girl he felt an aura fill the air, sweat dripped from his forehead.
"If you don't remember let me tell you!" She snapped. " I had to stay up all night studying for a damn test Stein said we were having today and now it looks like he has changed his mind!" She slammed her hand down on the wooden desk.
"T-test? Ahh shit I forgot all about it, well looks like I have one more day hehe." He smiled pleased that he got off the hook with failing yet another test.
Maka looked down at the mad professor. His silver-gray hair hanged down, his glasses reflected the light preventing the students from seeing his eyes. He turned the screw inside his head, twisting it to focus his thoughts.
"Ah." he stated ending the talking among the students. They all paid attention and listened for their lesson.
"I see everyone is here so lets start the test." He plopped down a huge stack of papers, each for a student. "You will be graded on how you remember the biology of creatures you might meet on the battlefield and the proper way to take them down. Also you must remember how they act and what their soul and soul wavelengths are like.
Maka smiled and turned to her weapon partner. His face was in total shock and anger
"Well looks like another F for the great Soul Eater Evans." She chuckled as he hated it when people used his full name.
"S-shut up Maka you flat chested know it all!" he crossed his arms and look at the other direction.
"Yeah yeah." She shrugged the insult off and began the test.
One hour later
"All right, test over." Stein picked up all of the test taking a quick glance at the front page at each. He picked up Maka's and smiled, every answer on the page was correct. He then took Soul's and his smile disappeared "Hmm." Is all the meister said, he then continued to take the other students' papers. Soul looked mad, he glared at Maka and gritted his teeth. Maka turned to him.
"What is it?" She eyed the weapon and wondered what got him so pissed off.
"Its you Maka, you study one night and get everything right, while I, the weapon, get shit on because I don't study or try, but without me you'd be a useless meister!" he shouted and the whole class heard. Stein looked up at the two, with a stern face on. Soul continued. " You know what Maka if you're so great why don't you find a new partner, I quit!" and with that he was off, left the class and all of the 'uncoolness'. Maka sat there, shocked, Soul left her. She stared into space, not moving or saying a word. Finally after a few moments of tense silence she looked around. Everyone was looking at her, her face went straight to a cherry red. Embarrassed she ran out of the class and headed to her apartment, tears falling off her face as she ran.
Arriving at her apartment she packed up all of her belongings, clothing, and food. She never wanted to be in Death City ever again. She threw her bag over her shoulder and closed the door, never turning back. She headed to the outskirts of the city telling her self to keep moving on. But where will I go? She asked herself. This thought kept playing in her mind until she just decided not to think. The sun was setting, Soul would probably be sitting in the street still mad at her. Maka didn't care, infacted she wished he would freeze to death. She kept walking until the night was black and the moon came out, Maka was totally alone in the dark. This hit her, she didn't like being alone, she was always surrounded by her friends, but now she was leaving them all behind, and for what? Just because Soul embarrassed her in front of the class. Was it really worth running away from all that.
"Hahahahah poor Maka Albarn all alone with no friends or your weapon I see."
Maka looked up and saw Medusa the witch sitting on the moon watching her. Medusa was wearing her regular outfit, no shoes or socks, a shirt with a hood on it, and black painted toenails.
"My my Maka walking all out on your own, thats a big deal." She grinned with her snake lips.
"Medusa!" Maka screamed. "What are you doing here? I tell Lord Death on you if you plan on hurting the city!" Maka shouted at the older woman.
Medusa smiled more and looked at the younger girl. "Please I'm not here for the city so the reaper can rest well. I'm here for you maka. I saw what happened, Soul quit on you and now you're useless." She hopped down and floated next to the young meister. "I can make you powerful Maka, and strong without the need of any weapon." The witch continued." This made Maka stop and listen. Power? Without Soul. The thought of her doing anything without help pleased her. But what would she have to do in return.
"Okay Medusa what do I have to do to get this power?" The young meister asked with a stern look, expecting to hear something about hurting her friends, which she would of refused.
"Just come to my estate and learn from me, learn how to use the power I know thats all being a witch is about Maka." Medusa smiled at Maka and cupped her cheek. Maka was shocked, took a step back, and blushed hard. "Oh you don't like that? Or do you?" Medusa kept smiling.
For some reason Maka felt her heartbeat get faster and cheeks flush with heat.
"N-no no I just didn't expect it Medusa." Maka tried covering the fact that she did enjoy it a little. But why? She's always hated Medusa for what she had done to Crona and the danger her friends where put through. Medusa just giggled, Maka shuddered. Medusa had never giggled before, maniacally laugh yes but this was weird.
"Lets go home Maka, I make sure you're taken care of." with that Medusa lead Maka to her hideout.
Medusa's 8:00 PM
"WOW!" Maka exclaimed she has never been in Medusa's before but it was huge and nice also. The walls where a dark Purple with Black dots forming snakes. The lighting was bright and shelves full of books. Maka was instantly in love with this place. She could read all of her life and never be tired.
"Maka come here." The snake witch showed Maka to her room. "This is where you will be sleeping. Do you like it?" The room was full of even more books, and not just that but manga and comics. " I didn't know if you only read just regular books so I bought some other reading material also." Maka looked at Medusa and sensed something strange about her tone and niceness. She was acting way too weird and Maka couldn't help but feel this is about more than just learning to be a witch. Medusa pulled out a manga entitled Strawberry Panic.
"This is my favorite manga, I really love the anime too!" The witch said with all of her excitement. Maka took the book in her hands and looked at the cover. Her face went red as she realized it was a lesbian love story.
"Umm thats nice Medusa." Maka handed the book back with embarrassment riding up in her throat. She eyed the witch trying to read the emotions on her face.
"Hmm what's the matter Maka do you have something wrong with same sex relationships?"
Maka took a step back, she was shocked.
"N-no no its not that its just I've never read something about two girls you know because I am a girl." Heat started to flush in her cheeks. This is weird. She thought. Why is Medusa showing me lesbian stuff, she couldn't….. like me could she?
"Hehehehe." Medusa started. "Maka have you ever thought about being with another woman?" The snake tongue of hers struck a cord in Maka. Maka had thought about it once or twice but she was just curious. She always considered herself into boys more than girls. Was Medusa trying to seduce her?
