A Rude Awakening!

A Cat's Anger?

I woke suddenly at the slamming door. I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep in Soul's arms a bit ago, but Soul was now gone and my door was closed. It was still nighttime as well, explaining the darkness shrouding my room. I sat up and walked into the hallway, finding my weapon standing there.

"Soul?" I called, "What happened?"

"It was Blair." he said, turning to me, "She tried her boob attack on me this time, but I resisted from a nosebleed since I am with you. I kind of also yelled at her and she started crying and ran off."

I wasn't sure if I should be angry with Soul or proud. He had resisted Blair's sex appeal, but he also made her cry. The effect of each action was great, so I chose to neither be angry or proud, but instead worried. About Blair. Since she did run off, crying.

"Do you think she's okay?" I asked.

"She probably can't deal with this sudden change is all." he said coolly.

"Maybe we should go look for her."

"It's probably better if we leave her alone; 'don't corner a frightened animal', ya know?"

"Yea, I guess you're right."

The scythe turn to me and grinned, "Go back to sleep. Blair will be okay tomorrow."

I blushed and then smiled. His toothy grin was so cute; I couldn't help it.

"Good night kiss?"

My boyfriend smiled at me, coming over to give me a quick kiss on my lips. I'd never get use to the fluttering my heart kept performing; I liked it.

"Good night, beautiful." Soul said.

If I could melt, that would be the moment. He called me beautiful. Beautiful, for Shinigami-sama's sake! Even though I didn't have the ideal body, he called me beautiful! That made me so happy that all I could do was smile back at him and slowly, unwillingly close my door, so I could go to sleep.


The next morning, I sung a small melody as I happily cooked breakfast. I couldn't believe last night; it was the best night of my life.

A yawn turned my head towards my weapon. He was awake on his own! Now, that was something crazily new!

"Soul?" I asked, astonished.

He grinned his toothy grin and said, "I just couldn't wait to see my girl, so I got myself up for once! Not saying, it isn't great to be woken by her as well!"

Another blush appeared on my face as I went back to making breakfast.

"You're so cute when you blush, Maka." Soul said, now right behind me.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. I smiled and giggled as my blush deepened.

"Let me finish up breakfast; I can't with you on me." I said.

My scythe chuckled and released me to go watch television in the living room. I heard Crona's bedroom door open and close as he started his morning as well.

"Good morning, Maka." he said shyly as he looked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Crona!" I said, smiling at him, "Breakfast will be ready in a bit!"

He nodded and went to watch television with Soul just as the front door opened: Blair's arrival home. I heard her say nothing to the boys as she made her way to the kitchen. Luckily, I had everything off the oven before she grabbed my shirt and turned me around.

"Why is Soul yours?" she hissed, "Blair wants Mr. Scythe-y Cutie to herself!"

She picked me up and banged me on a cabinet; I was amazed at her strength.

The boys had heard the commotion because they rushed right in.

"Blair, what are you doing?" Soul yelled.

"Maka!" Crona cried helplessly, watching the scene before him.

"Soul is Blair's, no one else's!" the sexy cat growled, banging me again.

'I'll get a concussion if she keeps this up…' I thought, wincing.

"I don't remember either of you announcing a relationship." I came back.

"Because there is none." Soul growled, "I'm Maka's boyfriend, Blair! Why don't you get it?"

She started punching me at that point. I grunted in pain with each hit; geez, this cat was strong! This really pissed Soul off.

"Let her go!" he yelled, running at Blair and tackling her away. As he tackled, he seemed to make sure he stood standing and didn't fall on her to prove his point that he wasn't hers.

She just glared at my boyfriend and hissed, "I'll get you back, nyan! Just you wait!"

She retreated out of the door once again, just like last night, and we finally had some peace.

Soul helped me up and checked me for any injuries.

"I'm okay, Soul." I said, "I can take a punch, especially after Black Star's."

He nodded and then started putting the food I made on three plates.

"Soul, it's okay. I can do that."

"No, Maka," he said, looking and grinning at me, "Let me help for once!"

I just smiled at him and nodded.

"Come on, Crona," I said to the demon sword master, taking his hand, "Let's go to the table!"

Crona smiled and nodded, "Okay, Maka!"
