Chapter 8
WOOO! So I'm having a great summer~
Went to Disney World my first time everrrrrrr!
SO I'm sorry I didn't update in June.
Well I had testing, then school ended. Then I babysat for a week and did Love Shots b/c I haven't updated that in forever. Then I went to the beach. Then Disney World. Then I got to see my new puppy I'm getting. Then I went back to the beach.
My grandparents finallllly got internet down at the beach house too! So I fixed the chapters in Wanted. Can someone please tell me if there still are mistakes? I don't have the first ch, but I still have the rest.
Anyway. If you read Love Shots I have explained what happen within two terrible months. This school year just sucked so bad. Lost my dog Toby on May 5 :( He was only 6 :(
OKAY~
UMMM~
Alright just go read the chapter!
ENJOY~~~
Deep breaths in and out, in and out. Come on Maka you got this!
This is what Maka kept telling herself while she stood on one leg trying to keep balance. Dr. Stein wanted her to get use to Soul Perception. When you balance you put your mind to ease. Making sensing souls a lot easier.
Dr. Stein pulled out some pepper and blew it into Maka face. She squinted her eyes before sneezing, causing her to fall backwards onto the grass.
Maka wiped her eyes, starring at Dr. Stein who had his head titled. Holding the pepper like nothing happened.
Maka then stands up, "Can I ask why you did that?"
"I wanted to see if you could handle things flying in your face. Cleary you can't. We need to work on that."
"Why on earth do I need to work on that? How many times is pepper going to fly in my face?"
"What about dirt? Sand?"
"That won't happen!" Maka yells at Stein.
"Mmm, happens more than you think. You can't just stop fighting and sneeze or wipe your face."
Maka sighs, "Are we done here?"
"Yes,"
"Thank god," Maka mumbles as she slowly walks into the fighting room. She sees Liz and Patty already in the rink with Soul, Tsubaki, Kid on the sidelines.
"Yo Maka!" Black Star greets with a yell. He then stares at her face. "HA! Dr. Stein peppered you!"
Soul jumps down and looks at Maka's face. He then grabs a towel, wets it and starts to clean her face off.
"Forgot Dr. Stein did that. It helps a lot though, trust me."
Maka smiles to what Soul says. "Glad I'm not the only one then."
Soul nods as he watches Maka spit out the fuzz from the towel.
Spirit then comes walking in. He then stops and stares at Maka.
"Oh no, did Dr. Stein pepper you?"
Maka looked at her papa with shock. "You know he does that too?"
Spirit laughed. "Oh yeah." He then goes off to find Dr. Stein.
"Come on Maka! Let's get this over with." Liz yells.
Maka nods and runs to the rink. Climbing in, she takes deep breaths getting ready.
Patty jumps up and down in excitement while Liz stood behind Patty.
"Fight!" Kid yells.
Maka takes charge. "AHHH!" She throws a punch at Patty who laughs and jumps away. Only for Maka's fist to collide with Liz's face.
"LIZ!" Patty screams.
Kid rushes to help Liz with Tsubaki after him. Black Star claps his hands cheering on Maka. Soul gives her a thumbs up.
Patty screams a battle cry charging at Maka. Maka starts to run around, dodging Patty's strikes.
Maka started to feel increase fear rise inside her. She felt her power building up. She couldn't hit Patty with her power. Who knows what can happen.
She had to quit.
Patty wasn't giving her any break.
"P-Patty. I ha-ve to sto-p." Maka says tired. Her chest in pain.
"No stopping! I got to get you back for Liz!"
Maka's chest burned, her crystal glowing. Light surrounded her hands. Maka punched the ground, leaving two holes.
She gasped for air.
Patty backed away.
The pain was still in her chest. Maka screamed again. Grabbing the crystal, trying to pull it off.
Everyone was screaming for her to stop and calm down.
Spirit and Stein came running in the room.
Soul grabbed Maka's hand that was holding onto the crystal.
She couldn't hear what he was saying. She let go.
Soul held her up as she collapsed into him.
"Maka!" He cried to her in worry.
"Spirit! What is going on?!" Dr. Stein yelled to him.
Soul looked at Spirit. His face was just worry, confused.
"I-I don't know! I never had that problem."
"Kami?"
"N-no."
Soul sat on the ground with Maka in his lap. She seemed to be breathing fine.
"I guess we have to wait till Maka wakes up to get the answer." Spirit says to everyone.
"Let's take her to the nurse," Kid says. Soul nods standing up.
"Here Soul, I'll take my little girl." Spirit says.
Soul nods again and hands Maka to him. Soul's skin touched Spirit's, a painful shock was released. A shock that Soul has felt once before.
But it seemed that Spirit didn't feel it.
Soul starred at his hands as Spirit carried Maka away.
"Yo, dude…are you alright?" Black Star asks, placing his hand on Soul's shoulder. A shake in the head was the response.
"What happen?" Tsubaki then asks. Liz comes over with a bruise on the side of her face. Patty and Kid come over too.
"He-He shocked me."
Dr. Stein walks over to Soul. "People shock people all the time Soul."
"No, no, that's not it. It hurt."
"Don't they all?" Liz then questions.
"Not- a lot…that shock gave me the same pain when Witch Izzy shocked me when I was kid."
"How did she shock you?" Kid then asked worried.
"When I hit the wall, it collapsed on the ink men. Witch Izzy shot at me and Wes. My parents saved us. When I ran over to my parents…a pain shot through me when I touched them and Wes too. Witch Izzy grabbed me and the same pain went through me as the same as Spirit."
"So what? You think Spirit is Witch Izzy or something?" Black Star asks.
"I just don't trust him, okay?" Soul says walking away.
Everyone just shared worry glances then following him to the nurse's office.
Maka woke up. The sun shining through the window.
"Where am I?"
"Nurse's room."
Maka looks over to her Papa. "What happened?"
"You passed out," he replies.
"Oh…"
Spirit leans in to his daughter. "Maka, dear, do you remember why you passed out?"
The door was then slammed opened.
Maka and Spirit look up to see it was Soul followed by everyone else. "Oh! Just in time Soul! I just asked Maka if she remember why she passed out."
"That's cool." Soul replies walking over to Maka.
Spirit frowns at Soul's answer. He looks over to everyone one else. Fake smiles just showed.
Maka could feel the tension building in the room.
"Are you okay Soul?" Maka then asks him as his sits on the window seat. A nod was her response. Something was bugging him. She could feel it.
After Maka gave her answer, which was, she doesn't know why that happened. Dr. Stein gave her a checkup. The results showed she was fine.
"It's looks to me is that Maka's not adapting to the crystal nicely."
Maka looks up, "What does that mean?"
"That it's going to take you longer to get used to it."
"Oh, well okay."
Kid then stands, "But we're running out of time! We finally found the power inside Maka, meaning crystal… but who knows what Witch Izzy is up too! We must stop her!"
Soul then faces the group, "Kid, Maka is the one who has to kill her! She's the one with the crystal! And she's not ready!"
Kid steps closer to Soul, "When we first started this mission my father said we only had a month. That is why I said we we're running out of time. But now I realize we really are! Even all these witches are coming after Maka. She needs to know how to fight with her magic. She can't just take her time!"
Soul clenches his fist, jumping down, "That is why we are all going to help her also protect her."
"Settle down you two!" Stein yells at them.
Spirit stands up, "I think everyone needs to leave, Maka is getting upset! Now go!"
Everyone started to stand up and leave but Soul. Spirit looks at him, "You too Soul!"
"No!" Soul says; everyone turns around in shock. Maka looks up at Soul.
"Soul, I can take care of her, she is my daughter."
Soul steps away from the window, "Is she 'Spirit?' Is she really your daughter."
"What is that supposed to mean? Of course she is my daughter!" Spirit yells.
Dr. Stein takes out his phone and stands up, "Oh no, Spirit, Lord Death needs us."
Spirit sighs, he then faces Maka, "Sorry sweetie, I'll come visit when I'm done."
Maka nods and waves goodbye to her Papa. After they leave Maka faces Soul.
"Soul! What the hell was that all about?"
"Nothing."
"NOTHING? That was something Soul! Tell me what is bugging you!"
Soul growled and turned to the window. What was he supposed to say? 'Hey I don't trust your dad. Something is off.' No he couldn't do that.
Maka got up from the bed. She then faced her friends. "I'm okay guys but I will like to talk to Soul alone."
"OH yeah sure…" Liz says; they all leave the room.
Maka walks over to the window to where Soul was standing. She places her hand on his shoulder.
"…Soul…look I trust you okay? I know you won't lie to me so please tell me what's wrong."
Soul looks at Maka in the eyes. He then moans, "I can't! It will hurt your feelings!"
Maka pouts, "Does have to do with my father?"
Soul nods.
"Then tell me."
Soul sighs, "Fine. I don't…I just don't trust him, okay? Something is off about him and I don't like it."
Maka gives him a confused look, "How can you tell?"
"He shocked me."
"…He shocked you? Because getting shocked has never happened to you before."
"No! That's not it. When you passed out, I handed you to him, my skin touched his. This painful shock went through me. The same feeling when Witch Izzy grabbed me. It was the same feeling."
Maka stayed silent, she didn't know how to respond.
Soul sighs while he sticks his hands in his pockets. He then walks to the door. Maka follows him.
"I want to believe you Soul. But-"
Soul stops walking and turns around to face Maka. "But what Maka?"
Maka bites her lip, "I need to see proof…"
Soul shakes his head. He knew this would happen. He wouldn't believe himself either if he was being told this. He then starts to walk down the hall.
"Come on, let's take you home."
Maka nods even though he can't see it. She starts to follow him out in the hallway. She looks out the windows. Red dots begin to appear. Not a minute later the school starts to shake.
Soul looks out the windows too, they were being under attack!
"Shit!" Soul screamed. "Maka come one!"
Maka grabs his hand as they start to run down the hall.
"Soul what's happening?"
"You have visitors Maka!"
"What!? Is it Witch Izzy?"
"Nope! Medusa and Arachne"
Maka then remembers the time Blair mentioned the name Medusa before.
Soul and Maka run outside, Soul looks around quickly.
"I need to put you in a safe place."
Maka huffs at him, "Come on Soul, I can fight!"
Soul looks at her, "You never fought Kishins or witches before!"
"I can try."
"No, we need you alive!"
"Then you fight with me or something."
Soul looks at the kishins, seeing the increasing amount. Then he got an idea.
"Fight with me or something… THAT'S IT!" Soul yells to Maka.
Maka looks at him confused. Soul squeezes her hand.
"You can hold me in when I'm in weapon form. Then that way I can protect you!"
She stares into Soul's eyes. "Well okay… but I don't know what to do."
"I'll tell you what to do."
"So you can see or something?"
"Hah, yeah I can see. Feel, touch."
"Well alright!" Maka says with a smile.
Soul grabs Maka's other hand, he then transforms.
Maka watches Soul's face and the rest of his body glow. A metal rode was now in her hands, a black scythe at the end with a red ridge outline, a red eye on the top of the rode.
"Whoa, cool." Maka whispers.
"Okay Maka, let's fight!"
"Yeah Okay!"
Kishins start to charge at Maka. She swings Soul, striking into the stomach. One finally turned into a soul.
"Do you eat it now?
"No time for that Maka! Look out one's behind you."
Maka swings around. Knocking off its head.
A long fifteen minutes past. Maka never felt so tired. She couldn't keep doing this. She will see other weapon and mister pears not even be out of breath!
Soul can see more kishins coming their way. He could feel Maka being tired. Sure she fights with them but never have she used a weapon or fighting against something so big. She just wasn't use to it.
"Soul…what do purple soul's mean?"
Purple souls? What? Soul questions, then the answer hits him in the head.
"Witches!"
"Oh no, no, no." Maka says worried. They were getting closer. The red seemed to fade away.
"There she is!" Maka hears someone say.
"About time." The other voice says
"S-Soul." Maka says softly, her voice in fear.
Soul transforms back into a human. "You did good Maka."
Maka shows him a tired smile.
"Ah, Soul Eater Evans." A women voice, belonging to Medusa says.
Soul looks up, staring at the two witches.
"It seems he has something we want." Arachne says to her sister.
Maka grabs a hold of Soul's shirt. She looks up to Soul's face. He looked calm and collected, like nothing bad is happening.
"I think we scared her." Medusa says, seeing Maka holding Soul's shirt, hiding behind him.
"It seems so." Arachne responds.
"Let's cut to the chase shall we?" Medusa says.
"Alright." Soul answers.
"We went through so many battles to get here Soul. All so we can have that little girl. And… we're not going to let you be in our way. You're alone. There is no way you can fight us both and protect her at the same time."
"Just watch me." Soul says back to Medusa's words. He forms a blade out of his back, wrapping around him and Maka. Maka stares at it in amazement.
Medusa and Arachne are about to pounce but a voice stops them.
"Stop right there!"
All four turns their heads to see Spirit on the stairs.
"Don't you dare touch my little girl!" He hops off the stairs and walks closer to Soul and Maka.
Soul can see little static around Spirits arms. He forms another scythe, adding to the blades making Spirit stop in his tracks.
"He really is powerful at such a young age." Maka hears the witches say.
"He is but he's going to kill himself he keeps forming more." The other one replies.
Maka looks at Soul. "Soul, it's just Papa."
"No it's not."
Medusa and Arachne stop talking to listen what was going on. Both entertained what was happening before them.
"Soul, what is your problem?" Spirit says stepping even closer.
"Back off! You're the problem!"
Maka for some reason could sense Soul's feelings. Ever since she held him in weapon form. She could feel that he was really scared, for her. Worried. How he really doesn't like her father. All the emotions he felt. Him being tired having the weapon around them, what was the worst was, he was in pain as well.
"Soul, please calm yourself."
Soul gets rid of the scythes. He lets out a heavy breath. Maka smiled at him for listening to her.
Spirit steps even closer, he places a hand on Soul's shoulder. The shock of pain goes through him. Maka felt it too.
"Ahh," Soul slaps Spirits hand away. Clenches his fist and punches him in the face.
"Whoa!" Medusa and Arachne say in unison.
"Soul!" Maka yells wrapping her arms around him pulling him back.
Spirit stands up with a glare. "I had enough with you!"
"I sense Izzy." Arachne says to Medusa who nods. "Let's retreat will get her later."
Maka watches the two witches fly away. All the remaining kishins following them.
She knew Witch Izzy wasn't here. That means Soul was telling the truth. That wasn't her Papa. Then who was he?
"That is enough! You have failed me, Clone 32." Maka and Soul heard someone speak.
Spirit looks around, then a big gust of wind takes him away.
Maka's mouth drops open, a painful feeling striking inside her.
"Hey! You Witch! Where is my Papa?" Maka continued to scream to the sky but she got no reply. "God damn it!" Maka then says.
Soul pats her on the shoulder. "Don't worry Maka, your Papa is alive."
Maka looks at him, "Thanks Soul."
"Are you gonna cry or something?"
Maka laughs punching him in the shoulder. "See I was so scared it kind a dried all my tears."
Soul laughs, "Sure, sure."
"Now what?" Maka asks.
"Let's go see if everyone is okay."
"Is everyone in Death City weapon and mister?" Maka then ask.
Soul freezes, "Oh no! Wes!"
"Your brother?" Maka questions.
Soul grabs Maka's shoulders, "I have to go find him, come on." He grabs her hand and starts running.
"Where are we going?"
"To my house!"
"Soul I'm tired!"
Soul stops running, faces Maka and picks her up, throwing her on his back. He then takes off running full speed.
Maka was amazed how fast he could run. He then grips her harder running up the wall. He lands on the roof, then starts to jump from roof to roof. Maka screaming the whole way. They finally land in front of a mansion.
"This is your house?"
"..yeah?"
"damn." Maka says shock.
Soul laughs again running in the house. He flings the door open and sets inside.
"Wes?" He calls out. He gets no response. "Wes!" Soul screams.
"Wes!" Maka then calls out.
"Great, you don't know where he is either," Says a women's voice.
Maka grabs Soul.
Witch Izzy then steps out into the light.
"Long time no see Soul." She says. "My, have you grown. Such a handsome boy." She starts to walk closer. "My plan was to figure out Maka's fighting skills with her crystal so she won't kill me BUT she never used it!" She steps even closer, "And my clone was falling apart, kept shocking you, making you questioned all day, it's just got annoying so I got rid of him. Then I wanted to take Wes away, but with my luck he wasn't here."
Soul could feel Maka gripping him, "So what do you want?"
Witch Izzy steps even closer, she grabs Soul's chin, her long nails tracing the outline of his jaw, Soul didn't dare move, for he didn't know what she was planning on doing.
Maka didn't like her touching him, she feared Izzy was going to hurt him.
"Soul, I want you." She smiles, "Your power, strength, has improved so much. And with that crystal, you will by unstoppable."
"I'll never join you."
Witch Izzy forms a crazy smile, she tightens her grip on his jaw, "Awe, how cute. You think you have a choice."
Maka couldn't take it anymore, "Get off of him!" She lets go of Soul and hits Izzy with her crystal.
Izzy flies across the room. Soul grabs his jaw and rubs it.
Izzy and Maka then start to fight. Izzy touches to crystal only for it to burn her hand. She screams in pain. Maka jumps back. Light surrounding her hand, she then charges at her, punching her.
Izzy shot at Maka. She flies back, doing a back flip and landing on her feet.
Soul stood there in surprised.
Maka flips off the wall and kicks Izzy.
"Ahh," She cries is pain. She grabs Maka by the neck and slams her down to the ground.
"I know where your weak spot is, Maka. It's right, here. Izzy pierces her fingers in the back of Maka's neck. Making her cry out.
"Maka!" Soul shouts to her, he transforms and hits Izzy. Making her fly off.
Soul picks Maka up, bring her close to him.
"That's not going to stop me Soul!"
Soul forms blades around him and Maka as he holds her close.
Izzy's magic reflects and hits her.
"Damn it!" She yells. "That hurt you Soul! I know it did! It's dangerous for you to do that with your blades. Hahaha! I'll be back! Just you see!" Then a cloud of smoke appears and she was gone.
Maka touches Soul's face as he falls to his knees. "Soul? Are you alright?"
"Yeah…I'm fine." He replies weakly.
Maka gets up from his lap. "Come on, let's get you to bed to rest. You're hurt."
Soul sits fully on the ground, "Nah, I'm fine Maka."
Maka stumps her foot with a pout, "No you are not!" She grabs his arm trying to pull him up.
Soul lies down on the ground, "Why am I so tired?"
"You're in pain too." Maka says kneeling down beside him. Soul look up at her, "What? Nah Maka I'm fine."
Maka stands up, "No you're not Soul! How many times are you going to say that to me?"
Soul struggles to stand up, "Till you get…that...I'm...fine!"
Maka helps him fully up, "Come on, off to bed."
Soul looks over to the wall clock, seeing it was almost four.
"Maka it's way too early."
"Never too early to heal Soul!" Maka replies dragging him to the stairs. She lets go of his arm and faces him.
"Oh no, I'm too weak to carry you up the stairs!"
Soul looks at Maka in shock, "I can get up the stairs myself."
Soul starts to take a step; Maka grabs him, "NO!" She pulls him away. "You're tired, you might fall."
Soul gives her a look; roll his eyes and walks up the stairs to his room. He then faces her, "That was so tiring!"
Maka glares at him as she walks up the stairs. She then crosses her arms, "I was just trying to help."
Soul smiles at her then places his hand on Maka's head, "I know Maka. And thank you."
She blushes as she follows him.
Soul lies down, "I'm in bed Maka. Now what?"
She rolls her eyes at him as she walks up, "You rest. I can still feel that you're in pain."
Soul looks up at the ceiling, "Well for your information, I can feel that you are in pain too."
Maka ignores her pain and looks around the room till she sees the bathroom; she walks in seeing a basket full of washcloths; grabs one, and runs it under cold water. She comes back in the room and walks over to Soul. He gives her a weird look as she places it on his forehead.
"There you go."
"Maka I'm sorry, thank you but, I have to go find Wes. I'm really worried. And you should call Blair. I bet she's really worried about you."
Maka gasped, "Oh no! Blair! I have to go home!" She turns to leave but Soul grabs her arm.
"Whoa there! You are not going out into the city by yourself!"
Maka tugs for Soul to let go but he tighten his grip, "Maka I'm serious. You are not allowed to be by yourself!"
Maka moans, she sits on the bed and looks at Soul. He releases his grip.
"You know, this really sucks being wanted, and you know what makes it worse?"
Soul sits up taking off the washcloth. "No, I don't… what?"
"That everyone is protecting me when really the person who really is wanted…is you."
Soul's face becomes filled with confusion, "Huh?"
She stands up and turns around, "Think about it Soul. Our own enemy really is Witch Izzy. She knows that all she has to do is pull off the crystal. When she does that, she'll grab you and turn you evil!"
Soul thinks for a minute, he leans back in his bed then speaks, "That may be true Maka, but that's only Witch Izzy. Every witch is after you and that's not safe."
Maka pouts, "Soul, I'm really worried." She felt tears starting to prick her eyes, "I-I'm scared." A tear rolled down her cheek.
Soul felt Maka's feelings; he turns himself so he's sitting on the bed. "Maka, come here."
She slowly walks over to him, resting her head on his shoulder; he wraps his arms around her as she begins to cry.
"I-I'm just so sad. I lost my Papa…again. My mom's dead. I passed out from the stupid crystal. THAT I can't even use without getting tired! Kid was right! We are running out of time. Fighting against Izzy made me realize she knows a lot about me! How-how am I supposed to beat her?"
Maka sobs in Soul's shoulder.
"I'm scared Soul."
Soul rubs Maka's back, "Maka, I know you been through a lot these pass, well two months. But the key is not to give up. You have to be strong. I…all Death City, believe in you; that you can defeat this evil. No witch, not even Izzy can stand in your way!"
Maka continues to sob in Soul's shoulder. She tires herself out and leans against him.
The sound of the door swinging up catches Maka and Soul's attention.
"Maka!" Calls Blair.
"Soul!" Shouts Wes.
"Upstairs!" Soul yells back to them.
Wes and Blair run up the stairs, straight to Soul's room.
"Awe Maka!" Blair says seeing a red eye Maka, she knew she was crying. Maka turns around to face Blair and hugs her.
"Soul! Oh my god, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Wes, quiet acting scared."
Wes looks over Soul, "No you are not. Look at your arms!"
Maka looks over to what Wes was saying.
Soul looks at his arms, they were bruised. Wes took off Soul's shirt quickly.
"You're back too!"
"You…you used it! Didn't you?!"
"Yes I did, Wes!"
Wes's voice cracked, "Soul; that is too much on your body. You're too young. I-I almost lost you before because of that. Please Soul, don't do that!"
Soul sighed and got off the bed. His mussels made Maka blush, she was worried though, Soul wrapped his blades around them; she just didn't understand why that was so dangerous.
Wes kept freaking that Blair started to try to calm him down. Soul had his eyes closed as he had his hands resting on his head. He clearly was just ignoring what Wes was saying.
Maka's fist clenched. Everything was just not settling well for her. She liked Soul, ever since he saved her life. She knows she does. But he was getting hurt because of her. Everyone was. She couldn't give herself up to Izzy, the world will never be the same. She just didn't know what to do.
Wes's freaking just made her lose it.
"STOP IT!" Maka screamed at Wes. Wes froze and turned to Maka, Soul opened his eyes, and Blair turned her head.
"Just-just shut up Wes! Soul's going to get hurt! I'm going to get hurt. But we have each other's back! We're going to defeat the witches, save the world. Okay? So please just stop it!"
Wes looked at her in shock. Tears ran down Maka's face, "I-I have to be strong, because it's my job to kill her, I can't give up. And you freaking makes me feel so…so guilty! I don't want him hurt just as much as you do. I don't want anyone hurt! This is just so hard for me."
Maka turns around and goes downstairs.
Soul looks at Wes, his arm dropping to his side, "Well look what you did Wes! I was just making her feel okay again!" Soul angrily storms out the room.
Wes looks at Blair, "I don't understand, how is this my fault?"
Blair places a hand on his shoulder, "Maka, is just a very sensitive girl. And besides, Soul likes her so of course he's going to get mad at you for making her upset."
"Oh," Wes says nodding his head, "Wait, what?"
I…I made this really long. I just didn't know where to end! And again, I'm sorry for not updating in June.
I came home yesterday.
Finished this. Okay so now it's 3 Am. So really I came home like two days ago?
