Chapter 6: Back to normal, I think...
I slid through the broken window to my room and fell on the ground. As soon as I got up I went into my bed and tried to sleep. My face felt so warm, reaching from ear to ear, my heart was racing what the hell is wrong with me? It felt like my chest was on fire, and it won't stop. I felt my pillow and clenched on to it. What happened in the library wasn't real; it was a dream, a sweet nightmare that seems so real. I know Soul wouldn't do that, I know he wouldn't hug me I mean he doesn't even like me at all. "Why am I so worried about this, I should just forget about it." I am taking to myself again, but no one was here with me. I fell asleep, knowing that tomorrow would be hell.
I wake up on the floor, a wait; did I fall off my bed? When did I –owww! Okay never mind. I quickly grab a white shirt and a green tie, I found a yellow vest and eh, why not? I grabbed a red mini skirt and black socks. I walked to the bathroom and grabbed a brush; I grabbed two hair ties and put my hair up into pigtails then headed out the door. I wasn't up to breakfast, so I grabbed my things and left. As I was walking I wondered, does anyone ever get lost in Death City? I never did, I don't see why someone would get lost. I reached the school when a shuriken about cut off my head; I turn to look at the weapon, and then grabbed my book. "Maka CHOP!" I hit Black Star, surprised that I knew where he was, I could sense him somehow. "Black Star you are an asshole ya know that?" He stares at me. "Maka you always hit people with a book, and where the hell were you yesterday, you ran out then never came back. AND WHO ARE YOU CALLIN AN ASSHOLE!" I touch my cheek lightly. "You, and I didn't feel good that's all." Tsubaki walked over. "Yea uh huh." I glance in her direction. She backs off. Soul came up out of nowhere, he's more of an assassin then Black Star. "Hey guys." Tsubaki greets him, and Black Star gives him a high five. I looked away. "Hey Maka." I wave still not looking at him, Tsubaki grabs my arm. "Well be back in a minute." She pulled me inside and looks at me. "Maka you're making a fool of yourself!" I stare at her. "I wasn't really aiming to not look like a fool." Tsubaki hits her head. "What happened, Maka you seem more uncomfortable around Soul." I felt my face burning up. "He a … just forget it Tsubaki." She nods. We went to class and the whole time Soul was trying to talk to me, god leave me alone. I was reading my book when he grabbed it from my hands, he held it away and stared at me. "What is your deal?" Oh tables turned on me now. "Nothing Soul okay." He started to whisper in my ear. "What happened yesterday, I hug you for about a minute and then you pulled away and ran off." I stare at my partner. "Its nothing Soul okay just a-little a embarrassed." Soul smiled. "You know what would be more embarrassing." I back away a bit.
"What?" He got closer. "If I…" He got to close for comfort. I backed away then fell out of my seat. Soul laughs. I stood up. "You are such a jerk." "I'm a pain Maka, you should know that." I can't take it. We all stood up and left for lunch, I swear this class drags on and on and on. I sat at a table and started to eat the lunch I packed, I can't stomach down school food, I found a big roach in my sandwich once. That was when I decided to pack a lunch from now on. Tsubaki came over and sat next to me, she had a salad, "You know I can stand the most disgusting and inappropriate jokes known to man but this is just wrong." I giggle. Soul and Black Star came over, and sat right down. Black Star picked up his water then saw grass in it. "Where did they get this the lake?" Soul starts laughing till he fell over. "I wouldn't laugh if I were you." Soul looks down at his lunch and in his hamburger, he found an eyeball. He turned green. "Soul are you?" Before I could finish he puked on the floor. I lifted my legs up. "Eww Soul!" He lifts his head up and holds up the eyeball. "What kinda sick joke is this?" I shrug, and looked at my lunch, so did everyone else. We all pushed are lunches away. "I can't stand the food here, I FOUND A ROCK AND A WORM!" Black Star sighs. "My water had grass and dirt." "Don't forget those fish!" I pointed out. He looks at his water and gives me a cold stare. "Very funny Maka." I smile. Tsubaki points at Souls lunch. "And don't forget the eyeball in the hamburger." Soul turned green again. We just sat there disgusted, Soul puked again. We didn't even comment. After awhile we felt better, Tsubaki looks at me and smells me. "BLECK! Maka you reek!" "Gee thanks." "Maka when was the last time you bathed?" Soul barged into are conversation. "Before she attacked Nightfall." I corrected him. "No I was cleaned of after the fight." Soul rolls his eyes, I can't believe I forgave him for getting to close. "Maka meet with me after school." I stare at Tsubaki. I nod, but I know this ain't gonna turn out well.
After school I found Tsubaki, and she tugged on my arm. She led me to the shower room; I knew this wouldn't turn out well. "Come on Maka, you need to get clean." I shook my head. "I can bathe at home not here, I'll look like a twelve year old compare to them." Tsubaki starts pulling my arm. "Don't be silly you have an okay body, quit pulling back MAKA!" Tsubaki grabbed my waist and pulled me in. "Tsubaki NO!" She pulls me in an isle, and she opens a locker. "Here we'll share this one, time to undress." "NONONONONONONONONO!" Tsubaki starts striping down and I just leaned on the lockers. "Maka." I stare at Tsubaki who was wearing a strapless bra and black panties. "Yea?" "Get undressed, you're not gonna bathe in your clothes." I stare at the ground. "I'm not going in there, it will be uncomfortable." I heard her sigh. "Maka come on, you'll be fine." She put her hair up in a U shape, and tied the end up. I heard her pull out a towel and a washcloth. She started taking her bra off; she feels no shame, I look back at the ground. "Maka hey MAKA!" I stare at her a topless Tsubaki. "Tsubaki I'm not going in there final." She puts her hands on her hips. "Maka Soul told me your back has huge cut marks, you should clean them off." "I have a huge stomach cut." "Maka you should at least try to get clean or you'll get infected." I gave up. I started taking off my vest and undid my tie. My shirt came off and reviled the huge cut marks on my back and stomach. Tsubaki looks at me. "You don't wear a bra?" I wanted to hit her so bad! "I'm flat so what's the point of wearing one?" She shook her head slowly. "You're not THAT flat!" I blushed, how embarrassing.
I strip off my skirt and panties, let my hair down and wrap a towel around my body. Tsubaki giggles. "You have a nice sexy little body Maka." I try to hit her. She dodges me completely. I found a shower stall and took off my towel. I started it up and was sprayed with cold water which made me jump back a bit. It turned warm and I relax with the warm water hitting my face. My back was feeling a lot better. I heard a knock on my shower stall. "Go away Tsubaki." "I'm not Tsubaki, who is she anyway?" A random girl with red hair was standing there, smiling. "Hi?" She giggled. "You're Maka Albarn, the girl who was dead right?" I nod. "Everyone is talking about the girl who took down a two star enemy as their first kishin, impressive." I smile. "You're also Soul's meister am I wrong?" "No you're right." She nods. "You're suppose to be fourteen?" I look down. "I don't have much do I." She folds her arms. "You have a sexy body, boobs could be bigger, but you are thin and have curve." I hit my head against a wall. "Anything else?"
She stares at the ceiling. "No well I better get going, see ya." She waved bye and I grabbed shampoo. She was a total nut job, I do not have a sexy body, I have nothing. My body is completely unattractive I am so not going to attract anyone soon. I rub the liquid in my hair and close my eyes tight. After it was all suds and bubbles I rinsed it out. I grabbed a rag and put soap on it, I rubbed the top of my back and let the soap run down my back, I rubbed my stomach too. "Maka." I look to see Tsubaki walking up to my stall. I rinse the soap off my body and turn off the shower. "Yea?" I rub my face dry. And walk out towards her. "So ya feelin better?" I nod. "Maka I was thinking of you, me, Soul, and Black Star hanging out at Soul's place, want to come?" "Yea sure." I dry my body off. "When did you guys talk about hanging out?" "Oh just last period, you're not in gym." I roll my eyes, Papa didn't want me in gym, he was afraid of boys flirting with me yet I wear a mini skirt to school. I started getting dressed. "Maka I don't know how you can't see it?" I stare at her. "What?" "You have a nice body, yet you say its nothing." I walked out feeling embarrassed. Tsubaki caught up. "Remember Maka, its tonight if you're coming." I nod. I started walking off when I heard a bike come by. It stopped. "Hi." I wave. "So did Tsubaki tell ya?" "About coming over then yes." "Cool, kay see ya tonight." He drove off. Random. I started walking home.
The broken window was getting easier and easier every time. I started brushing my hair, which was still wet. Papa walked into my room while I was brushing. "Maka are you going to a party or something?" I stare at Papa. "All my friends are going to Soul's house tonight." His eyes grew wide. "Soul, as in Soul Eater you know him?" I nod slowly. "How do you know this guy?" I started putting my hair up. "Why do you ask?" Papa pulls his hair. "He is a real trouble maker, he once had to clean the library during school hours, we never let him do that again!" "Why?" "Never give that kid a broom. Anyway how do you know him young lady?" I giggle. "Soul Eater happens to be my partner." Papa's eyes grew wide. "YOU ARE PARTNERS WITH THAT GUY?" "Yep." He started to hit his head. "Maka why did you become partners with him?" "Papa he's a nice guy." "Yea the kid with the broom. He also unscrewed Sid's chair, it fell apart as soon as he sat down." I look away. "Yea that sounds like something Soul would do." I grab my book and started reading. "Maka, how did you guys even meet?" I closed my eyes. "I met him at school, okay now get over it, let me read." Papa just stares at me. "That sounds like something your mother would say." I smile.
At five Tsubaki poked her head through my window, she smiles. "Hi Maka, your window is broken." "I have noticed Tsubaki." She giggles. "Maka ya coming?" I nod and slip through the window. "Where's your dad?" "Oh at the bar, lets go." We walk down the long road, not saying a word. The sky was turning black only at five. "Its winter Tsubaki isn't it?" She nods. "Imagine, snow soon, cold, and sparkling snow." I giggle. "You like snow Tsubaki?" She nods. I couldn't see a star in the sky. That's enough proof that winter is close, very, very close.
Tsubaki opens the door to Soul's house and walks in. I follow. "Hello you two, it took ya forever." Tsubaki bows in apology. "Were very sorry, Maka lives a bit far." "One ya don't need ta be sorry I know Maka lives far, and Two get Black Star over here I can't get this fucking piece of junk connected to the TV!" Tsubaki walked off going to find Black Star, I look at what Soul was doing. "What is that?" He looks at me. "It's a game system, a Play-station smarts." I lightly hit his head. "Abuse." "Younger." He smiled and continued to try and hook up the game system. It was pretty amusing to watch him fail. "Dammit connect!" I giggle; he gave me a cold stare. "Sorry." "Whatever." I look at the cord. "Why did you want Black Star to bring a game system?" "I don't have one." I roll my eyes. I stare at the cord then grab it. I stared at a plug in, then back at the cord, the plug in, then the cord, plug in, cord, plug in, cord. I plug in the cord to the outlet and the system glowed. Soul stares at me. "How did you do that?" I pointed. "I plugged it in." He slapped his head. I giggle again. "You think I'm sooo stupid." I smile. "Yea Soul, I think you're stupid." Soul looks at me, then smirks. "Then I think you're stupid." "Great come back Soul." I hug him; he just stares at me smiling. "Well now what's this?" Soul and I quickly look; we see Tsubaki and Black Star staring at us. I wave at them. "Hi guys." They smile. "What are ya doing guys?" We started talking at the same time and Tsubaki told us to stop and calm down. We stare at her. Soul points at me. "It was all her fault, just to let ya know!" I slowly turn my head towards him. "Really?" He smiles. "Yes really." Tsubaki grabs my arm and Soul got up.
Tsubaki whispers in my ear. "I'm starting to believe you guys are dating or something." I hit her. "OWWY, Maka?" "You got me ticked." Soul looks at me surprised. "God Maka what the hell did she say?" I hit him. "I DID NOTHING!" I smile. "People do really know how to piss me off." They stare at me. Black Star and Soul started playing and Tsubaki drags me into the empty room. We started to talk about the most random things, something we didn't want the guys to hear. "Maka, how is your back?" I smile. "Feeling much better, but they're still visible." She puts her hand up to her face. "How does Soul feel about it?" I don't know how Soul feels about my cuts on my back. I was curious. But I won't ask him. I wonder that for the rest of the night.
At school I felt like something was going to happen. I started down the hallway, going to the library to finish homework and maybe do some reading. I slip through the door and as soon as I go in my name is called, report to Crescent Moon class... of course.
I walk in to see Sid sitting at his desk, and he waves me over. "Maka I have a question for you." I nod. "What is it?" Sid stares at papers on his desk. "When you fought Nightfall what help was your partner?" I stare at my teacher; I was confused where did this come from? "He did his job as being the weapon, so he was helpful." Sid waves a hand up. "Maka stand up." I did. "Now turn and show me your back." I look at him. "What?" "Maka turn and lift up your shirt." I did, because I don't want to get in trouble. "Okay you can sit back down now Maka." I pull my shirt down and sit. "Those look painful, anymore like that?" I nod. "My stomach." He nods. "Uh Maka I want you and your weapon to see me in the outside gym after school." Why am I always stuck here after school? I leave and find Soul outside shooting hoops alone, I tap his shoulder, and without looking he starts talking. "Yo Maka, whats up?" He kept shooting, and I take a deep breath. "Soul, how do you feel about staying after school?" He kept shooting, and missed when I asked. "What happened?" I twist my body back and forth. "Sid wants us to meet him in the outside gym after school." He kept shooting. "Why? We did nothing." "I know Soul I'm not accusing us of doing anything, and it was not my idea it was Sid's." "I know you're not accusing anyone Maka, I just don't wanna go." Of course, Soul doesn't want to go. "Please Soul, I don't wanna get in trouble." He doesn't stop shooting. "You know I'm a trouble-maker Maka don't like it, to damn bad." "Soul please!" He shook his head. I took the basketball. "Hey!" He tried to take it but I back away. "No Soul, listen." "Listening!" I hold out my hand to keep him from getting closer. "This could help us Soul, please." He sighs. "Okay Maka I give." "Yay!" I hug him and quickly leave. I tossed the basketball behind me.
Soul and I were looking at Sid who was just standing there. "Look why are we here? I want to go home ya know." I elbow him then whisper. "Soul be respectful." "No." He is a good friend but a terrible student. Sid spoke up. "You know why were here." "No we honestly don't know." "I set up logs everywhere, Maka you are going to cut them with your weapon." "I have a name." I giggle. "Ready you two?" We nod. "Then go get ready." Soul and I got up and stood in the center of the trap. "Soul." "Yea." Soul changed into a scythe, and I nod. Sid holds a rope. "Ready...BEGIN!" The first log comes down, I easily cut it, next one again easily cut it. Then two came down, I cut one then dodge the other, as soon as it swung back I sliced it in half. Three came down, I swung Soul in a circular movement and sliced a three logs. One came down in front and I cut it, this was to... a log hit me in my back and I stumble forward, then one hit me on my stomach hard. I flew back and hit the metal fence. "Maka you okay?" He sat me up, but I about fell over on the other side. Soul made me lean into him. "Soul, Maka do you why you almost lost both the soul and your life?" Soul spoke up. "No we have no clue, and this is one bogus assignment if ya ask me!" I look up at Sid and started to notice my vision was blurring up. "I'm sorry Sid, I didn't see that one coming."
They both look at me. "Man Maka you sound awful." No joke I feel awful. Sid touched my head, I felt Soul tighten his grip. "Soul, just as I thought you are not helping you're meister at all." What? But its Soul's job to be the weapon right? "I helped her the best I could Sid!" Sid shook his head. "As weapon, you should know the where abouts of the enemy, and as a scythe you have an advantage." Soul pulled me in closer, still holding on to me tightly. "What advantage?" "You are a weapon that is mostly seeing the sides and back of your meister, you warn Maka when something is coming and make suggestions on moves and strategies." I stare at my partner who looked upset, and he stared down at me. "So its my fault that she has those scratches?" I shook my head. "No Soul, you did nothing wrong, its all my fault." Sid took his hand off my head. "Guys?" Sid looks at me. "Yes Maka?" "I think I'm gonna puke." Soul and Sid look at me then help me up. "Ya know Sid you could have told us this after we took her to the nurse." Sid looks at Soul angrily. "Hey Soul, how about I give you a job while your meister rests?" "Oh god you hate me." "Guys I..." I puked, we all stares at it. "Hey look I puked up blood hehe, oh wait thats a bad thing."
"Well Maka you seem healthy and your bruises seem to be getting better." I nod happily. "God Maka ya puked abit on my jacket, sick." "Sorry." I stare at my partner, who was cleaning off my blood from his jacket, his face was priceless. "Well Maka I have to see what Sid wants me to do." I wait five minutes and soon I hop down and walked towards the classroom to get my book and return it. I stop to see Soul in the library with Sid and Papa. "Okay Soul you have to clean the library." "Wait Sid remember last time?" Sid nods. "Yea, okay then you watch him." "WHA-" I run down the hall and quickly grab my book and head back. Before I get to the library a few kids ran off, I heard some of them shout. "God don't the teachers know anything?" "I got hit again!" One guy points at me. "Save yourself!" Eh? Okay... awkward. I made it to the outside of the library when I saw a chair get thrown out. I heard Papa shout. "Why are you such a BIG trouble maker?" I peek inside seeing Papa getting hit in the head with a broom. "Stop that ya little brat!" "No." I see my partner hitting him. "I'll throw another chair if you don't get out." I walk inside. I try to move quickly so nothing gets thrown at me. A table came flying at me, I manage to make a soft scream. "Get out I have ta clean." I look at him. "I have to return this here book." Soul hit Papa hard the broom split in two. "Get out and you." He threw a computer mouse at me but I dodged it. "Get out I don't want sass while I'm cleaning." I point at him. "You sound bored Soul, all the time." He makes a face and continues to try to kick my father out. I sat down on the ladder that goes up to the next floor.
"Hey don't get comfy, as soon as this jackass leaves you're next." I stuck my tongue out at him. He points at me. "Immature." I manage a smile. "Quit hitting me ya little brat!" "Get out and I'll stop." I started to read when I heard Papa run off. "Ha big wuss." I stare in disbelief. "What the fuck did you do Soul?" He chuckles a bit. "What all I did was this." He threw a computer at me but misses by a foot, I stare at him bored. "You did that?" He nods happily. "Now you're next." He starts climbing the ladder and I jump to my feet running to the other ladder and started climbing. He was far behind when I was on the third floor, but I refused to stop, I climbed up to the fourth floor. Then the fifth then sixth then so on. I made it to the final floor, eighth. I look down and saw Soul was on the fifth floor, shit, shit, shit, I have to hide. I saw a little crack in the corner and came closer to it. I tried to squeeze in and surprisingly enough I fit. Wow! This is a very thin corner but I am thinner. I close my eyes and go behind the bookshelf alittle more, and froze in one spot. I heard a chair being thrown in my direction, crap scared now. I started to whisper. "Please don't notice me, please, oh please don't notice me." I felt a hand grab my arm. "I don't think God will answer your prayers Maka." I got pulled out and pushed into a wall. "Stay still Maka or else."
"Or else what, Soul?" He smiles evilly. "I'm gonna throw you of this here ledge." I scream. "Jerk, I hate you." He pats my head. "Aw come on Maka you know you love me." I feel extremely warm. "YEA RIGHT SOUL, AS IF, IF I LIKED YOU I WOULD SHOW IT NOW LET ME GO YOU ASSHOLE!" He shook his head then grabbed my head and made me lean over the ledge. "That's a long fall Maka, I wonder if your head would break open?" I start to squirm, and finally got tired of this. "Maka...chop!" I saw Soul's teeth clench and the book I was returning was now tainted with his blood, I snicker at the thought. Soul fell on the floor, as soon as he got up to shout at me I held up my book. "Soul, how about you get your cleaning done." I started patting the book, with a very threatening smile. "Maka d-don't hit me wit-th that." "Oh no Soul I wont hit you, unless you..." I take a step closer. "Get your ass cleaning." I held up my book, he quickly grabs a broom and starts cleaning the bottom floor. I stood right next to him. "That's right Soul keep cleaning." "Devil." Papa and Sid come over to see Soul actually cleaning and me holding up my book. "Maka are you...is he?" I nod happily. "Well Soul I'm going home now and if Sid tells me you didn't finish..." I held up the book. "Yes Maka I get it." I smile and skip away.
Walking home was getting alot harder when winter is coming closer, the wind blows harder and harder. I look at the sky. "I wonder when snow will fall?" I shrug maybe Death City doesn't get snow. I walked down my street and climb through my window and started cooking. If Mama were here she wouldn't let me cook, thats one thing that bugged me alittle. Mama didn't know I loved cooking, I'm not good but still I love cooking and experimenting. I look to see what we have then I realize the fridge was empty.. but it was okay yesterda... never mind, I'm sure of what happened here... jackass. I climb out the window and head to the fucking store.
The store was filled with leftover stuff from thanksgiving, Mama wanted me to stay for thanksgiving. I look to see some Christmas stuff on the shelves, wow... I found some apples, and milk, I put them in my cart and continued walking. Found bread, muffins, juice, spaghetti noodles, sauce, and meat. That should be good for now. I pay for the food and carry my bags all the way home.
I tried to open the door but it was locked...god dammit! I carefully put my groceries down and slid through the window. I carry the bags into the kitchen and began cooking, I checked my purse to find seven bucks left, fuck, that's not going to be enough when I go shopping again, and I know Papa won't give me any money or go shopping for food. He waists his damn time with sluts. I heard the door open and saw Papa walk in. "Hi Papa." He waves and then a woman comes in, she had black hair and purple eyes, and a very slim body. She walks up to me. "AW so this is your daughter, she's so adorable." I stare at her. "How old is she?" Papa smiled. "Oh Maka is fourteen." She turns back towards me. "Wow and still has a cute face." I stare at her still. "I'm underdeveloped." She laughs. "Oh and a joker, what a cutie Spirit." Papa walks towards us. "Maka..." He gestures towards the woman. "This is Gem." "Hi Gem." I turn back to the stove and got out a can opener and started to open the spaghetti sauce, then Gem got into my face. "You cook Maka, I want food make me something, I want chocolate covered strawberries." I look at her I try to smile. "Um...I..don't have...strawberries...none at all, or chocolate." She gets a sad face. "AWWWW I want chocolate covered strawberries though." She starts to whine like a two year old, and gets these sad puppy eyes. "Pwease Maka Chan." I stare at her. "No I don't have strawberries and for your information, no one calls me MAKA CHAN!" She cries and runs over to Papa. "SPIRIT WAAH YOUR DAUGHTER IS YELLING AT ME!" She hugs him. "Tell her to stop please, I only asked for chocolate covered strawberries, and she got mad at me." She cries alittle more, Papa faces me angrily. "Say sorry to Gem and get some damn strawberries Maka, she was not hurting you." I shook my head. "No I will not say sorry, she should stop begging for food that we don't have!" He looks at me pissed. "Maka say sorry to Gem." I feel anger and rage.
"NO GOD DAMMIT NO NO NO!" Papa looks at me in surprise. "Maka room now!" I stare at him. "Why do I...?" "Now young lady." I walked over and hit him. "I hate you, you are an asshole!" I run into my room and started throwing things until I broke a leg on my dresser. "No no oh fuck." I wanted to run away, I hate Papa and every slut he brought home. I always get in trouble, and its not always my fault. I heard Papa and Gem talking and laughing, like nothing happened, and I sighed and look out my broken window, it looks so cloudy. I saw my door open a crack, seeing Gem looking at me. "Hi Maka Chan!" I look away. "Nobody calls me that Gem." She giggles. "Can you make chocolate covered strawberries now?" Was this lady a total idiot or what? "No Gem I do not have chocolate or strawberries." She looks sad again. "Maka Chan has no chocolate or strawberries?" I shook my head. "No we have none, and don't call m Maka Chan." We had strawberries yesterday but someone had to eat them with a hoar, wait why the hell am I talking to Gem, I don't like her. "Do you have chocolate." I shook my head again. "Why?" I sigh. "Mama told Papa never give me chocolate, Mama likes me eating healthy." She tilts her head. "If you lived on your own who'd you have chocolate?" I thought for a moment and then a smile appears. "Yes Gem I would have chocolate." She giggles, again I am talking to her, though I admit its kinda fun talking to her, she seemed so lost. I look at her. "Gem." She nods her head. "Ye~s" "I'm sorry, for yelling." Her face practically lit up, she ran over and gave me a hug. "Maka Chan forgives Gem, YAY!" I hug her back, the stupid slut, but I ment it, I was overreacting but that is my nature.
Papa walks in. "Oh so is Gem happy with Maka?" She looks at Papa. "Oh Spirit, Maka Chan said sorry to Gem, hehe." He stares at me. "I see, Gem go sit I need to talk to her." "YES SIR." She salutes and walks away. Papa stares at me. I blink. "Maka I am still upset with your behaviour." I look away. "I apologized isn't that what you wanted me to do?" "Maka do not act like Kami you know how much that bugs me." I roll my eyes. "Oh really, I've never noticed." I glare at him. "You even give me the same looks as her, the evil glare, the questions, the tone of voice and when you're sad you get the same big eyes of distress! You act just like her!" I look back angrily. "Well good because if I didn't act like her I would act Just. Like. YOU!" He gives me a surprised look, and then his face looked dark. "Fine Maka, I'll leave, but you can be grounded for two weeks."
"What?" He smiles. "You heard me Maka, that means no hanging out with friends after school, no Tsubaki, no Black Star and no Soul after school for two weeks." I stood up in protest. "You are punishing me from hanging out with my friends because I yelled at Gem then apologize?" He shook his head. "No I'm punishing you for being disrespectful to me, your parent, for breaking the dresser, and for slapping me in the face." I roll my eyes. "Oh I see I am just being a teenager wow, what a crime." Papa hits my head very violantly. "Keep up with the attitude Maka it will get you into more trouble." I wanted to hit him; he is taking away my freedom. I can do what my heart pleases. "Papa you cannot take my friends or my freedom away from me!" He snickers. "Oh Maka I'm starting to think that, that partner of yours is a very bad influence on you." I glare at him. "Well Maka I should have known you wouldn't have listen to me, picking the worlds weirdest friends. I mean a caring and blaming herself for everything ninja, a big show-off who never thinks and is the worlds worst assassin, and a freaky bad boy who always gets into so much trouble and never thinks for the safety of his own meister or others." I cover up the wound on my stomach, I lift up my hand and slap him across the face, Papa stumbles back. "Maka what the he..." I scream at him trying to hold back tears. "You are an ASS aren't you, Tsubaki is a kind and caring girl with a big heart and is my best and only friend that is a girl. Black Star is a show off yes, but inside is willing to do anything for his friends, and he is an amazing assassin just alittle slow thats all. Soul, do not say anything bad about him, he is not only my partner but my friend as well, he cares about me I know he does he was happy that I was alive again, and he is not a freak so never call him that again!" Papa's eyes grew wide. He stood up and walked away. "I am done with this conversation Maka, you can think of them all you want, but I know them very well trust me, you can be grounded for two weeks, see you tomorrow." I watch him leave. I thought for a minute then mumble to myself. "From now on Papa I decide for myself." I slid on my black cloak, and gloves. I slid out the window and ran off into the cold clowdy night.
I breath in my hands to keep them warm. These gloves are pretty useless. I look around to see lights hung up for the beautiful holiday that is so soon, yet feels like it is so far away. I wonder what the school will do to celebrate Christmas? As I was walking an arm pulls me into the ally. I scream aliitle then heard a familiar laugh, and then I got ticked. "Soul, that was not cool!" He laughs. "Yes it was, you jumped, it was hilarious!" I pointed. "Nice vocabulary." He smiles. "Maka why are you out here at night, it is dangerous." I roll my eyes, and then I point at him. "Why are you out here at night?" "Night exploring, you?" I hit him lightly. "I was punished for being disrespectful." Soul chuckles a bit, then grabs my arm. "So I guess you're comin to my house then." I look at him then smile. "Kay hehe!" I look up at the dark grey sky. "Hey Soul do you think it will snow?" He starts to laugh. "Be serious shorty we live in a desertish area, why the hell would we get snow?" I kept looking at the sky. "I think we'll have a cold winter this year." "You're stupid." I hit him. "Am not." "Are to." "Am not." Are to." I hit him again. "You're an ass." "I tried my hardest." I had to smile.
I walk into the apartment and lay on the couch. "Hey lady get up." I giggle and barely move. "Okay then I know you're gonna hate me for this but..." He picks me up and holds me. "Put me down dammit." He shook his head. "I'm good." I giggle. "No Soul, put me down!" He laughs. "No you're not in any pain." "So?" "So, I won't put you down." I hit him lightly. "Soul please?" He put me down. "Happy?" I nod. "Good ya brat." I hid under blankets. "You are acting like a child." I giggle. "I am younger than you." He pulled the blankets off me. "I~ don't care." He was being more mature than me, which is weird. "Soul..." I flipped upside-down, he stares at me. "Am I acting weird to you?" He smiles, I flip back right-side up. "Yea... but." He comes closer and kissed my cheek. "I kinda like it." I feel extremely warm. "Night Maka." He winks at me. I cover back up in blankets. Touching my cheek that he kissed, I whisper. "Soul, what are we really becoming?"
If you've already read and reviewed this then sorry for the bad text issues, its just I have been so stressed about school. Also I've been rushed because awkwardly people like my my story... my friends kept rushing me on this also. Anyways, should I continue?
Chapter 7 coming soon, maybe.
