Chapter 5: I thought you were gone

I stare at her, this isn't true is it? The figure slowly sat up and kept staring at me with her emerald green eyes; she made a soft giggle sound. "Soul are you okay?" I just stood there then immediately turned on the lamp closest to me and turned back but being even MORE shocked by who it was, I couldn't deny it now, she was sitting there, ripped up clothing, messy blond hair and cuts everywhere yes she was back have no fuckin clue how but she was. "Maka? How are you even?" She stared at the ground looking pretty guilty. "Maka, what happened everyone thought you were dead!" She looked like she was about to cry. "I'm sorry Soul, I- I committed suicide, it wouldn't stop it just kept going, screaming, crying, bleeding, dying, I just couldn't take it." She committed suicide what the fuck, she was here though, yea I'm confused. "Maka you attempted to commit suicide, not committed, if you committed that means you're dead." She looks at me upset. "NO! I'm sorry I shouted but listen to me I did really die, I have no clue how I'm back, I had nightmares the unending pain, it was killing me mentally." I didn't want to lose my cool but hell I couldn't resist, I rapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me. I had no clue why I hugged her I just wanted to, I felt her stiffen up but she finally relaxed. "Maka?" She pulled away from me.

"Yea Soul?" "Promise me you wont tell anyone that I hugged you, its sort of uncool and its not really me." She giggled. "Soul I won't tell anyone, hell why would I?" I laugh. "If you do I'll fuckin murder you and you're going back to hell." She started to laugh. "Yea to bad I'm going to heaven you stupid jerk!" Somehow that made me laugh even harder. "I'm serious Maka don't tell anyone!" She was laughing just as hard as me, she lightly pushes me. "Soul you don't sound serious at all!" I laughed a little to hard cause I fell off the couch, Maka stopped laughing for a second, and then laughed even harder. "Man over board!" I started to laugh again, man we couldn't stop, but eventually we stopped and fell asleep.

I woke up on the floor, and sat up feeling like I slept on stone all night. Maka was passed out on the couch, she looked peacful in her sleep. Man I am acting weird and out of character, it was almost time for school so I had to wake sleeping beauty up. I got up and walked over to the couch, then flipped it over; I waited to see if she woke up. "WHAT THE HELL SOUL!" She's awake. "Morning Maka." Maka stares at me. "You can't even sound cheerful then their is something wrong with you." I smirk. "Well let's get ready for school." "Hey wait Soul!" I stop and look behind me. "Yea what do you want?" "I can't go to school, remember I was dead." "I'll say its bring a zombie to school day." "Oh ha ha ha, very funny." She sounded pretty cute when she's being sarcastic. I started thinking but Maka woke me up. "Soul what are you doing?" "Do you think a zombie will be at the DWMA someday." She hit her head. "Honestly Soul, think logically here." Mean bitch acting like she was smarter than me. "Maka come on what's holding you back, besides the dead thing." "I have nothing to wear to school!" "What you look fine, it shows your personality." She tried to hit me. "You are being an asshole!" "ABUSE!" "Soul stop that you are older than me." I laugh. "Yea by a year." I go into my room and got changed, as soon as I got out Maka was sitting on the couch, I flipped it over. "KNOCK IT OFF SOUL THAT IS NOT FUNNY!" I laugh. "Oh yes it is." She clenched her fists and stared at me. "Okay come here I'll find something, ya big brat." "HEY!" We walked into my room, I rummaged through my closet trying to find something. "Oh no way Soul I am NOT wearing something of yours."

"Why?" "Because you're a size bigger than me and were not the same sex." I chuckle. "What you have the body of a guy, what's the difference?" She kicked me. "SOUL YOU TAKE THAT BACK I DO NOT HAVE THE BODY OF A MAN!" "Prove it, you're flat and have no curve what-so-ever." "TAKE IT BACK!" I smile. "No I'm good." She looked at me with a serious look on her face. "Take it back Soul I mean it." "Can't take the truth?" "That is not the truth, you know it." "I'm like honest Abe, I never tell a lie." She starts hitting me, but it didn't hurt, it was pretty annoying. "SOUL THAT WAS SO A LIE!" "All you ever say is nag nag nag!" "DONT START WITH THAT AGAIN!" I laughed. "Look do you want something to were so you don't like walking garbage?" She stops hitting me. "Yes." "Then shut up." She just stood there, I kept moving things around until I found a tank top. I tossed it to her. "Soul a tank top really?" "Yes." I looked at her ripped off clothing, she had a ripped up shirt, but her pants looked okay, they were ripped at the ends so they should be shorts. "Maka go and change." "Where?" I pointed towards a room that was empty, she walked in. I threw a pair of scissors. "Why did you give me scissors?" "You'll know if you look in the mirror." I walked away and stood against the wall. Minutes later she asked what to do with the scissors. "I said look in a mirror." "There is no mirror in here."

I grabbed my cell and told her to come out. "What?" She was wearing the tank top. "Hold still I'm gonna take your picture." "To replace a mirror?" I was setting up the camera on my phone. "Got a better idea?" "No." "Then shut up." I took the picture and handed it to her. "Now go." She walked back inside, I waited again. She came out handing me my phone. "I cut my pants into shorts happy?" "No you still look like a dude." She held up a book. "Want to say that again?" "Where the hell did you get that?" She looks at it. "I have no clue." Now that was scary. I tapped her shoulder; she was still looking at her book. "What?" "Time to go." We went outside, and stopped. I found my bike parked on the side of the building. "A-Soul?" "Yea, Maka?" "You own a bike, is that how you get to school?" "No I just keep it out here to show it off." "Okay, sorry it looks like a piece of junk." I was offended. "Take that back Maka my bike is awesome!" "No its so not." Jerk. I got on and stared at her. "You comin?" She looked scared. "No." "Why?" She slowly looked away. "I'm scared." Chicken, I grabbed her and told her to get on but she looked freaked. "Get on its not gonna crash." "That helps." I was getting impatient. "It is perfectly safe, when I'm not driving like a maniac." She screams, and tries to run. I grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "No Maka get on the bike its not going to crash." She stares at me. "Promise." "Yes promise now get on the bike." She slowly got on, finally. I started it up, Maka about flipped out. I started driving off.

"That was hectic Soul." I smiled. She seemed so mad, I love it. I waited for Black Star and Tsubaki to come, when all of a sudden a speeding chain scythe came down right next to me, again? "I AM BLACK STAR YAHOO!" I moved back and again Black Star missed me. "Hi." Black Star got mad at me. "SOUL WHY THE HE…" He looked behind me stunned, Tsubaki must have noticed to because she quickly changed back into a human. "MAKA!" She ran up to her and hugged her to death. "Tsubaki I don't think she wants to die again." Maka hugged her back. "Tsubaki I—can't really breath." She stopped and stood back. Black Star knocked on her head. "Is this a joke? Maka's dead you know." I smirk. "That is the real Maka." Black Star pulled her face. "How can ya tell?" "MAKA CHOP!" I laughed at him. "That's how." Black Star stood up. "She still has a strong arm." She giggles, why aren't they freaking out that she's alive? Don't know, don't care. I looked at the building. "So should we go inside or skip school?" Black Star raises his hand. "SKIP!" "Maka chop." "OW UNCALLED FOR!" She smiles at him, and then sticks out her tongue. I hit her head lightly. "Stop it, you're suppose to be the mature one here." "I can be as immature as I want!" I smirk at her. "Really? I don't think so." She hit me then walked inside, Tsubaki followed her. I look at Black Star who was rubbing his head. "She can't take a joke?" "Guess not." I don't get her at all; I don't even know why were partners. I started walking inside, Black Star ran past me inside.

I was balancing a pencil on my hand just bored out of my mind. I look at my friends to see what there doing. Tsubaki was writing down something, Maka was reading, no surprise, and Black Star was just staring at Sid. When he was done talking I pulled on Maka's pigtails, she made a yelp sound. "Soul OW that hurts!" I smiled at her. "I know you cried." She slapped my hand but I refuse to let go, its hilarious so why stop now? "Soul let go that HURTS!" "I know you don't have to yell at me." I twirled her hair around my finger, and she started slapping me again. "Knock it off." "Hey dead girl, you should stop with the attitude." I stare at her, she looked pissed. "DAMMIT YOU FUCKIN ASSHOLE LET GO!" "No." She was trying to pull away; the look on her face was the best. I heard Sid come up and he handed us something. "If it's cleaning up the damn library then no." "No Soul it's something else, you left the library looking worse." I stare at the slip he handed Maka and I. "Go to Death room." Maka looks at him. "Why?" "Just go now!" We nod. She walked down and waited for me to catch up. We walked out and started down the hall to the death room. "Soul its all your fault." "No you were the one who screamed." She looks away. "Fuck you." "Bitch." I was harsh yes, but she got us in trouble, and nobody blame me I was just joking around. I can't take her, she was too strict and a bookworm, my complete opposite, someone you cannot get along with at all. Why am I her partner again? We walked into the Death Room. Maka looks at the mirror. "Were is he?" I hit my head. "You have to call him." "Really, what's his number and where is a fucking phone?" I stare at her. "I don't know, you're my first partner!" "I am not you're first partner, am I?" "Yes you are." She looks back at the mirror. "Well maybe it's the mirror!" "What?" I was confused. "Why is the mirror here Soul?" "Don't know never cared." She snapped her fingers. "The mirror is the phone."

"Are you serious? You've lost it." "Are you serious? You've lost it." She said it in a mocking tone. "Here help me think of his number." "He is a death god does that help?" She stares at me. "No no it doesn't." I thought for a minute. I started to laugh. "What is it Soul." "I thought of something." "What is it?" I laugh. "Try uh never mind, its bad." She hit me. "Be serious." She walked off to go ask what to do. She came back a minute later. "No one wanted to help." I smirk. "Well there was a guy here yelling a few days ago, when you went missing." She looks at me. "Okay where is he?" "Don't know, he was an adult." She got a face of disgust. "Never mind, lets find another teacher." I shrug. We walked around trying to find something. She walked into the library, and asked the librarian. She walked over to me, smiling. "I got it." Maka happy looks weird. We walked back to the Death Room. She walked over to the mirror. "I was right about the mirror being the phone, HA!" God smart ass. She looks at the mirror. "42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on deaths door." The mirror flashed, going BING BING BING. "Hello Lord Death are you there?" His reflection appeared. "Yea yea, hello." "Scythe meister Maka here." I nod. "Yes you were sent down here right?" We nod. "Listen as punishment I'll give you a lesson is that alright?" "Sure sir." "Okay there is a real trouble in the City, a monster mugger, don't give him money, he kills." Okay, sounds like a hell of a lot better than the one we met. I stare at Maka, was she alright to fight this guy? I was worried okay! We started down the hall when I stopped her in the hall; she stares at me. "Let go come on Soul this is how we got in trouble!" "First of all it was your fault, and second are you insane?" She looks at me. "I'm perfectly sane okay lets go." "Maka look at yourself, you're all cut up. What about your back?" She backs away from me. "Its okay Soul, I'm fine." She started walking away; I could see the cut marks on her back through the tank top. I started walking, following her outside.

Walking around Death City is a real bitch I mean really. Its like a maze, you get lost in a minute and worst of all you go in fuckin circles! I hate this place so much, I've been here over two months now and I still get lost. "Maka how did we find Nightfall again?" She got a confused look. "I have no clue." I stare at her. "You miss were the one who found him." "You mister were no help whatsoever." I sigh, she was right I was no help finding, but I am the weapon. "Soul lets get going, are you going to help or be useless?" "Maka I may not be useful in finding someone but I'm pretty damn good at helping us win a fight, without me you wouldn't have gotten one kishin soul." She stares at me. "And without me Soul you wouldn't have a meister at all." Why the hell does she always know what to say, I can't stand her. We walked for an eternity, I snapped. "GOD THIS IS SO DUMB!" "Soul calm down, you don't need to spaz!" I put my hands in my pocket. She closes her eyes, but she looked freaked. "Maka what the heck is wrong?" "It's happening again, not again!" What the hell is she talking about? This was like the time when we were trying to find Nightfall. Something happened to her eyes, I think.

"Soul I think he's that way." "Why?" "Just trust me!" She squinted her eyes shut then opened. "Soul, follow me." I did, but I was still confused though. Again we walked for an eternity. Maka stopped, and looked at me. "Do you have an idea?" I shook my head, but I slowly turn behind me. "Soul are you…" "Shhh this way." I grabbed her arm and pulled her into an ally. I look over the side and saw what made that strange sound. "Soul." Maka whispered. I look at her. "What's out there?" "I heard a woman scream, then someone's footsteps." "What?" "You didn't hear any of that?" She shook her head. She poked her head over and gasped. "Something's coming over here." I look and saw it, and it looked ugly. Maka gripped my arm. "That's the guy, Soul get ready." "Yea." She walks out and looked at the monster. "You, you are the mugger that murders." I walk out, yep he looked like the guy. The thing started to laugh, I transformed, Maka caught me and spun me around a bit. "Lets end this." Maka started to run but right at that moment she stopped. "What is wrong with you? Run at it." She wrapped an arm around to feel her back. "Soul I can't run, my back hurts still." Dammit I knew it, she was still to weak to fight. Maka ran at him, I saw her clench her teeth as well as her grip. She swung the blade at the mugger and pushed on me to turn, we cut him in half, his soul floated down. I transformed into a human, and ate the kishin soul. Maka started walking off, I quickly catch up to her. "So we did it." She nods. "My back still hurts though." "You should have sat this one out." She looks at me. "Soul you act like you know everything don't you?" "No." We started walking. "Soul, I say you do." I look at her. "Ah—why do you say that?" She smiles, then twirls and skips off.

The next day Maka came in late, but looked better then yesterday. Tsubaki waves her over; she happily walks up. "Hi guys." Tsubaki giggles. "Maka congrats on your second soul!" "Uh—thanks." I groan. "Soul, whats up?" I pointed up. "The roof." She rolls her eyes. "No seriously what's your deal?" "Nothing now leave me alone." Maka's eyes grew wide. "What the hell Soul, I did nothing!" I was not in the mood, I can't stand her like I said. I'm alittle mad from what she said, I'm not a smart ass who knows everything so why did she say I did? "Soul are you mad at me?" "Maybe you did tick me off yesterday." "How did I?" I roll my eyes. "You just did, you said I knew everything, now quit bugging me." "MAKA CHOP!" "OW! DAMMIT MAKA!" She was about to cry. "I HATE YOU SOUL EATER, I NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE YOU EVER!" She ran out of the room, down the hall. Tsubaki stood up. "Maka!" She ran out, I felt guilty; extremely guilty because I got mad at her, it was my fault now. I got up and tried to find her. Tsubaki gave up, when I met up with her. I looked everywhere, finally found her in the library in between two book cases, crying soft cries. She looks at me upset. "Go AWAY!"

I kneeled down and tried to get her to look at me. "Maka you are being ridiculous!" "Shut up leave me alone, didn't I say I never want to see you EVER?" I glare at her. "Give me a brake Maka I was not in the mood." "Oh yea Soul you were not in the mood for happiness, I can't stand you." She can't stand me? Just like me I can't stand her wow! "Maka how am I your partner?" She grabs my jacket collar. "THE REASON IS SOUL IS THAT I LISTEN TO YOU, I UNDERSTOOD YOUR SONG, I UNDERSTAND YOU!" She started to cry again. I looked behind me; no one was looking, even after her screaming. I grabbed Maka and hugged her, she buried her face into my chest and began to cry all over again. "Maka you are such a cry baby." She began to speak but her words were mixed in with her tears. "I—I –I hate you s—so much." I rubbed her head, she was such a pain, but she was my pain and I'm hers. Duh I know that I'm a pain in the ass, heh she was kinda cute when she was crying, but I don't love her. I mean how lame would that be.
