Chapter 2: My Life was a wreck

I open the door to my house, praying the idiot wasn't home. Of coarse Papa's home, and not happy with me, gulp. "Maka where were you this entire time?" I rub the back of my head and look away. "Uh… at school." I started towards my room when Papa stopped me; he was being such an ass getting in my business like this. "Yes Papa?" "Do you honestly expect me to believe that you were at school for three hours?" Oh … crap I was gone for three hours, man that's a long time, now I'm in big trouble, I can't lie, people can tell when I'm lying. "I…was talking to someone." "Who?" "A… Papa I found a weapon partner while I was gone." He grabbed my arm and shook me. "Who Maka WHO?" "Stop shaking me Papa and I'll tell you!" I stand near the hall close to my room; Papa leaned on the kitchen counter, waiting to hear about my weapon. "Well I was walking around this one part of the school… and I met this one guy and w…" "A boy Maka, are you serious?" "Yea, my weapons a boy." He stood up and pounds his fist hard on the counter, showing his anger. "NO YOUNG LADY, I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS.

" What? "Papa, I don't get…" "YOU ARE NOT STAYING HIS PARTNER YOU HEAR ME?" I looked at his in shock, why wasn't he happy that I finally found someone? "Papa it's just being partners, nothing special okay?" He gives me an ice cold stare. "You listen to me Maka…" I screamed to stop him from talking. "PAPA IT'S JUST PARTNERS WHY AREN'T YOU EVEN HAPPY THAT I HAVE A WEAPON? YOU HAD MAMA AS A PARTNER; YOU'RE NOT A GIRL TECHNECLLY! WHY CANT MY WEAPON BE A BOY?" He has a stun look to his face then punched the wall. "MAKA, LISTEN TO ME AND DON'T SHOUT!" "WELL THAT IS NOT HAPPENING. WHEN CAN I CONTROL MY OWN LIFE? YOU TELL ME TO DO EVERYTHING, NO NOT ANYMORE, I'M STAYING PARTNERED UP WITH MY WEAPON WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Before he could say anything I ran up to my room and curled up on the bed. I wanted to run away, run and never come back, Papa was controlling my life, my entire life, I wanted to be Soul's partner I really do, I want to make him a death scythe, and I don't want anyone else, just Soul. I was trying to sleep when Papa came in and told me he was sorry but it was his job to protect me. I sat up and glare at him, I started to shout. "You can't apologize now can you? That sorry excuse for an apology isn't going to work Papa; it's not going to work on me not at all. You can tell me what to wear, what to do, and what to even fucking eat, but you can NOT tell me who my weapon is, you have no power over that, none!" He stared at me in disbelief. "Is that so Maka. You think that just because it's your friends and -" "He is not technically a friend Papa, I just met him." "I told you to pick your friends wisely; you did not listen did you?" I stood up and started tearing up.

"You don't know my friends at all Papa, you ignore my life and everything about it, you cannot say my friends are delinquents just because I have a boy partner, you ignore my feelings you ignore everyone's feelings, that's why Mama left, you didn't care about how she felt when you started cheating, you were an asshole and cared about yourself and your reputation, that's all you ever cared about isn't it Papa that is all!" Papa got up and smacked me in my face. "GOT ANYMORE COMMENTS MAKA HUH?" I stood up and quickly slid out the broken window and ran far away, ignoring Papa telling me to come back. I wanted to run away because my dad was an asshole it's all his fault, all of it.

I stopped in an ally looking out for Papa if he decided to come after me, but he cared about himself so why should I look out? I was starting to fall asleep when out of nowhere two guys came out and pushed me to the brick wall; I look forward and see another guy come out. He smiled; he needs to brush his teeth EW, wait I'm getting mugged crap! "Well lookie here a lost kitten aawwww, what a cute face you have little girl." He starts laughing, and then reaches into my shirt pocket for money. He was upset to find absolutely nothing. "Hey girly where is the dough, I don't have all night here." I got angry, started shouting. "Listen bub I got nothing on me and I'm not in the mood so let me go, or else you sorry excuse for muggers will get your ass kicked!" They all stared at me, the mugger who checked my one pocket grabbed a switchblade from his pocket, one: aren't those illegal and two: When did I jump into "The Outsiders"? He held the blade up to my neck, a bit of blood came down a little ways. "Well now, this seems a little unfair now does it." The men turn in the voices direction, my face lit up when I saw Soul standing there. "What the fuck do you want?" Soul puts his hands in his pockets. "Something you have belongs to me; I'd like to have her back." Wait hers? Please not be me. The man spits and looks at Soul. "You think your all hot stuff huh?" Soul smirks. "Hotter than you I'm sure." The man runs at Soul and tries to stab him, but Soul swiftly dodges his attack and grabbed his arm, then flips the man on the ground. I stare at the man to my right and kicked his nuts, then punch the man to my left, and flipped the man onto the man with the switchblade. Soul looks at me stunned. "For an innocent school girl, you can seriously kick some ass."

I smile and put my hands behind my back. "Soul it's so late what are you doing out here?" "Night exploring, why are you out so late?" I looked at the ground. "I ran off, Papa slapped me." "Ouch." I stared at Soul. "Well I guess I'm gonna go. And Soul." Soul looked up from the guy's hand. "Yea Maka?" "What did you mean by I'd like to have her back?" Soul smiles. "Your mine Maka, mine and nobody else's." I felt my face got extremely warm at that moment, he acted so calm around those muggers, even though they were pathetic. Soul picks up the switch blade and moves it in his hand. "Cool, I'm taking this." I started walking off when Soul grabbed my arm. "Are you seriously going back to that stupid father of yours?" "No I am so not going back to that jack-ass!" Soul starts tugging at my arm. "Then come with me." "Wait a minute what?" Soul started tugging harder but I seriously didn't want to move. "I guess I'll just have to pick you up." "No Soul okay jeez, I'll walk." Soul wouldn't let go of my arm, like I would run away. He knows me so well already and we haven't been partners for a whole day yet. "Are we almost there?" "I don't know it's so dark out, stupid." "HEY!"

Soul kicked his door open and walked me to the couch, and then put me down. "Soul Eater that was so "uncool" to pick me up!" Soul smiles and sits next to me. "You shouldn't have hit me and said "I'm goin home, nag nag nag." I toppled over him and started hitting him; he grabbed me and tried to push me back. "Soul that's mean I don't sound anything like that!" Soul starts laughing still pushing me back. "Nag nag naggie nag nag." I started to giggle. "Quit it Soul." He pushed me off. "Okay I am so sorry." I stared at the apartment; Soul keeps things decent, for a teen boy living alone. "Nag." I stare at Soul and pushed him to the side. "Oh, Soul knock it off." Soul looked tired. "Soul shouldn't you get some sleep?" "Do you have to keep saying, nag nag nag?" I pushed him again, but I pushed to hard because I fell right on him. "Hello Maka, nag nag." I giggle again. "You're so mean Soul." "No I'm not, nag." I got off of him and started to yawn. "So you're going home now?" I stare at Soul sleepily. "No I'm gonna stay in your house." Soul stood up and stretched. "Well then I'm going to bed, nag." I smiled then lay down on the couch. "Night Soul." I laid there for a few minutes, thinking about Papa, what was he doing? Probably sleeping or at the bar I'm sure. I close my eyes, darkness surrounds me and I relax.

I wake up at one in the morning, about time I go home, but it was one, o well. I found a piece of paper and grabbed a pen. I wrote a note saying, Soul thanks for letting me stay here. I'm going home okay see you at school. Again thanks, Maka. I put the note on his desk. I walked out the door and hurried home.

I slid through my broken window, and got changed into some pajamas. I walk to my bed and look at my clock, three, I should have ran home. I kept staring at my clock then slowly became a blur, I fell asleep.

I woke up with a light shining in my face; I sat up and looked at my clock. I stared at it for a moment then froze. "CRAP ITS ALMOST TIME FOR SCHOOL!" I quickly got dressed in a pink jacket and a long green skirt, strapped on my shoes, and I ran to the kitchen and found a muffin. I grabbed a brush and ran it through my hair, then decided to keep it down I didn't have time. I grabbed my school bag and ran out of the house. "Shit this is so not my day." I took a big bite of my muffin and looked at the sky it looked cloudy; I stepped in something green, I swallowed the muffin in my mouth. "How could this day get any worse?" As I took another bite, I felt a drop, then. It started to downpour. I looked at the sky. "AAAAAHHHHH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I ate the rest of my muffin and ran to school. I ran through the doors of the school and finally reached Crescent Moon class. I sat next to Tsubaki and she started to giggle, I shot her a glance. "Sorry Maka it's just that you're all wet. Why are you running late?" I started scrimmaging through my bag, trying to find my notes and ignore Tsubaki; sometimes I wonder how she is my best friend when she, sometimes, makes a big joke, who does that remind you of. I found my notes, and Black Star took them from my hands. "Hey Black Star give those back."

"No way Maka I need these." I stared at him. "Why Black Star?" "I don't have these notes written down." I grab my book and hit him with it. "Notes?" Black Star looked mad at me. "WHY DO YOU HIT A STAR LIKE ME?" "Maybe it's because you're not a star?" I took my notes from his opened hand and started to read my book. Tsubaki, who was still giggling, was looking at my book trying to read it, I think I was going to fast for her because she tried to flip the pages back. "Maka you're going to fast I can't read as fast as you." I closed my book as well as my eyes. "Tsubaki why don't you get your own book? That's an idea isn't it?" I heard Black Star shouting, and Soul telling him to stop being an idiot, man I didn't even notice him, was he asleep? I have to be more observant or I'll get killed. As I opened my book Black Star took it out of my hands, asshole. "Man Maka how come every time I see you your nose is stuck in a book?" "Black Star give that back dammit." I reached for my book but Black Star pushed me away, and then shook his hand. "Maka you're still wet." "I know asshole, I was outside." I gestured my hands towards the window. Soul smirks. "Yes Maka everyone knows its raining, it started this morning." I rolled my eyes. "Yea Soul I was clearly pointing that out but thank you for narrating about when the rain started." "Sorry blondey, hey your hairs down." "Wow can you be more observant?" Soul closes his eyes. "I'm sayin I never seen your hair down, it's not strait." Tsubaki whispers in my ear. "When did you two start talking, I thought he scared the life out of you?" I stared at my book but not reading the words on the pages. "Well we just…" Tsubaki just stares at my face. "Maka?" I slowly lifted my head, she continued without my response. "Do you like Soul?" I felt extremely warm at that moment. "Tsubaki for the love of god, no!" "Sorry Maka just thought." "Thought what?" I admit I was being a bitch but who says that shit around people, okay I don't have a clue. Sid kept talking about witches and their spells and how to defeat one, and when you should defeat one. I raised my hand trying to get my mind off of Tsubaki's stupid question. "Professor Sid, how do you defeat a witch if your weapon is knocked out of your hands?" Sid looks at me like I'm stupid.

"Well clearly Maka you as the meister should run." I'm sure I looked confused. "But Sid wouldn't the weapon die, because what you're saying is that the meister abandons their own weapon for their own lives, aren't the weapon and meister partners and look out for each other?" "Maka meisters, like you, can get another weapon easily as well as bonding but a weapon like oh say your friend Tsubaki cannot do that so easily, why I don't know." "But what if personalities are different?" "It doesn't matter, a meister and a weapon with different personalities bond better because lets say both the meister and weapon don't like to make decisions they both get nothing done, so a meister and weapon pair are better when different it teaches both something like being brave or shutting up every once in a while, Black Star, now no more questions." I still wonder why.

I walked down the hall when Soul grabbed me and scared me, and laughed his head off when I screamed. "Man anyone can scare you." "No not everyone." Just then Tsubaki came in and I jumped. "See anyone even the girl who can't even harm a fly." I glared at Soul, and then started to walk away. I stared at the mission board, Sid suggested I should actually try to find a mission if I have a weapon. I was looking around when Soul came by, please don't notice me. "Hey Maka." Man I have got to stop jinxing myself. "You're finding a mission already and you don't even know what weapon I am." He said it like he was offended. "You sir have never told me what weapon you are." "You miss, never asked me." I sigh. "Fine Soul what weapon are you?" "Oh you want me to ruin the surprise I rather not tell you." I hit his head. "Then don't complain." Every time I picked one up Soul took it from my hands and put it back, I swear I am tired of things getting taken out of my hands today. I picked one up then quickly got away from Soul. "No, let me read this one Soul." Soul leaned against the wall and I read, enemy in Death City, easy, Time: night, okay…, name: Nightfall, what kind of a name is that? "Hey Soul, this looks easy, want to try it?" Soul takes the mission info out of my hands, god that is getting old. "What the heck is with the name?" I slap my head. "I don't know Soul, if I knew I wouldn't wonder that myself, look do you want to do this mission or not?" Soul shrugs.

"Eh, I'm game." "Yes, okay so we stay here and at night, well you like to night explore and I get to stay away from Papa." I heard Black Star's voice coming from somewhere but, oh god no. I look up and see Black Star jumping on the roof, he's going to fall, and then Soul looks up to and sighs then shouts. "If you're trying to prove you're an assassin, it's convincing no one!" I stared at Soul. "He's an assassin?" Soul smiles. "Yea a sharp one to, he can tell when people are looking at him, but that's a weakness." Soul and I stared at Black Star to see if he was going to fall. "Black Star get down!" I look and see Tsubaki running up; she was shouting at the so called "assassin", she stops in the middle of the hallway still shouting. "Black Star you're going to get in trouble now come down, please!" I walked up to Tsubaki with Soul right behind me. "Uh…hey Tsubaki what's wrong?" Tsubaki does a worry smile. "Oh nothing Maka, Black Star get down before a teacher has to deal with this." Soul looks at Black Star, then at Tsubaki who was now getting angry. "Tsubaki I don't think meister's listen to the weapon so do what I would do." Tsubaki looks at Soul with curiosity. "What tell me what you would do?" Soul grabs my arm. "I'll show you, Maka can you aim well?" I stare. "I can aim decently." "Cool now tell him this, Hey Black Star!" Black Star stops but doesn't come down. "Hey Soul look I'm more like a god up here!" Soul smirks. "Yea I bet you can't say something that will get Maka mad!" "Hey wait WHAT?" "Ha that's to easy Soul!" I glare at Soul, why bring me into this, asshole. "I GOT IT!" We all look up. "Maka you are the most unattractive girl ever I would be surprised if even one guy liked you and your flat chest!" Soul and Tsubaki stared at me, and then backed away. Black Star started to laugh. "HA THAT'S THE TRUTH HA…!" I threw my book at him and he fell. "I AM NOT FLAT IM UNDREGROWN DUMBASS!" I walk over to him and picked up my book. Soul and Tsubaki walk up, and then Soul gestures towards Black Star lying on the ground in a crater, now how will they fix that? "And that's how you get Black Star down from the ceiling." Tsubaki walks over to Black Star. "Are you okay?" Black Star sat up, so he is alive. "DAMMIT SOUL THAT DEVIL ALMOST KILLED ME!" Soul laughs. "Hey it got you down." I sigh, and then remember the mission; I took it from Souls hand. "Well when should we start?" Soul looks at the mission over my shoulder. "Do you mind?" Soul shook his head, I moved away from him. Right now I need to focus on my first enemy.

At night Soul and I where walking around trying to find Nightfall. "Maka this is useless he might know where after him." "Then act like you're not after him just act like nothings out here at night." Soul stops and shouts at me. "Maka last night we were out here and night and you know that there was absolutely nothing, face it he is not here in Death City!" "Soul maybe we were on the wrong side of town last night, and for …" I stopped in mid sentence, Soul looks at me. "Hey Maka you okay?" "That's it we were on the wrong side of Death City!" I grabbed Souls arm and started running we have to get to the other side of town.

I looked in an ally for clues while Soul was regaining his breath. "Nothing, he is here I'm pretty sure." Soul looks at me still trying to breath. "Maybe … he is... not in… Death City." I rolled my eyes. "He is Soul." "Nope, like I said he is not in Death City, and for god sake I have a bike, we didn't have to run." "I didn't know." I started walking around and Soul right next to me looked as bored as hell. After fifteen minutes which felt like an hour, I gave in, Soul was right. "Well you were right he's not in Death City." Soul smirks. "Told you so Maka, you didn't listen." I stared at my feet, and then I shot up and turned around quickly. "Hey Maka, what's wrong, something in there?" I sensed something in the ally that was not human, I felt frozen, and something here felt wrong what's wrong with me. "Maka dammit are you okay?" "I… I don't know Soul!" I close my eyes and grabbed my head, when I opened them I saw nothing but blackness, I looked around and saw a blue light where Soul was standing, someone tell me what's going on! "Soul?" "Yea Maka you're acting like a nut job." I felt like I was going insane, the voices came back, and a faint red glow came from where I was feeling that awkward presence, what the hell. "Soul, I think we should go this way." I pointed towards the red glows direction. "Maka is something there, or are you completely nuts?" I closed my eyes and breathed, somehow my vision was back perfect. "Come on Soul I want to know what's over there." "Fine, stubborn woman." I peeked into the ally and again nothing. "I swear something was here!" Soul rolls his eyes at me. "Yea Maka you know something's here." I pointed at him. "I can hear the sarcasm in your voice Soul, and it's not appreciated." Soul leans against a brick wall, and I stood there like an idiot, I was so stupid. I thought something was here, turns out there was nothing, I failed. We both stood there in silence, I broke the silence. "Soul are you…" Soul looks up at me, why the hell did he look scared? "Maka you're bleeding, your HIP MAKA!" I grabbed my hip, lifting up my hand slowly and I froze in horror, blood my hand was covered in blood. "Soul what's going on?" I turn to see a man who looked like a shadow and had claws covered with red, he licked his claws and jumps at me. I stood back but got my shoulder. "Damn, who are you?" The dark shadow stops then an evil smile came to his face. "Welcome to Nightfall." Then runs at Soul but he dodges, then Soul looks at me. "Soul!" "Yea!" Soul held out his arm and then became a blade then his whole body transforms into a weapon, a scythe. "Ready Soul?" "Lets go!"
