Chapter 9: Slog

Love? I walk home, Kid's words still play through my mind. Love, love, love... I'm confused. I try the door and locked, I should have guessed. I walk around and slid through my broken window. Okay how many teens climb through windows? I walked into the bathroom and took out my hair ties, I held a piece that I just undid and stare at the mirror. "Kid I'm sorry but I don't know what love is." I walk out and fell into my bed. I cover up and fall asleep.

I heard my door open at six and saw a familiar face."MAKA CHAN!"I was confused. "Gem?" She nods and runs over to my bed."Maka Chan remember Gem! YAY!" She hugs me to death."Gem I...can't breath." She lets go."Sowwy Maka Chan." I smile. "You're okay, why did you wake me up?" She jumps up. "Because you have SCHOOL TODAY!" To loud for words. I cover my ears. "So time to get up!" I curled into a ball. "Sleep." "No no time Maka Chan!" I cover up. "Sleep!" Gem sighs. "Oh well I'll just flip the bed." She flips my bed and I fall out. "Oww Gem." She giggles. "I'm hungry can you make me something?" I look up at her. "Can't you make something on your own?" She points towards the kitchen. "You guys ran out of toast." "Toast, I swear we have bread." Gem shook her head. "You have bread, but you don't have any toast." I slap my head. "You are hopless Gem." "What does that mean Maka Chan?" I point at her. "It means you're...oh never mind." I got up and walked towards my dresser.

"I guess I'll wear this and this and wears the matching pair for this sock?" Gem smiles. "There in your hand." I glare at her. "Yes Gem, it's in my hand why would I even ask a stupid question?" She shrugs. Moron. I tried to find the other sock, how do you lose a bright orange sock with red stripes? Gem started looking through my clothes. "Hey Maka Chan, lookie!" She held up a pink dress. "Gem put that down." She giggles. "Try it on please!" "I'm finding clothes to wear to school not going to a fucking fashion show!" She sighs. "Gem have you seen a bright orange sock?" "Yea its..." I point. "Not the one in my hand." She thought. She reached into the dresser and pulled out a green sock with yellow dots. "Here Maka Chan a sock." I hit my head against the dresser door. Gem puts the sock on my shoulder.

"Get dressed Maka Chan." I look up at her, her big smile covered in bright pink lipstick. "Fine just go out in the living room." "Kay!" Gem leaves, I stood up and unbutton my shirt. I slid of my shirt and took off my skirt. I put on a purple tank-top and a plain green skirt as long as my red one. I took of my black socks and slid on the orange one on my left and the green one on my right. I walk out of my room to see Gem looking for toast. "To~ast where are y~ou?" I groan. Why the hell did Papa bring this one back? I walked into the bathroom and pulled out a brush. I walk back into the living room and sat down on the couch. I started brushing through my hair. "Oh to~ast." I grab one end to my hair and put it up into a tail, then I grab the other side and did the same thing.

"Maka Chan their is no toast." I grab a yellow jacket and walk into the kitchen. I pull out two pieces of bread and put them into the toaster. I put on the jacket and started going through my bag. "Maka Chan do you have everything?" "All I need to go to school is books and a weapon." "Oh here." Gem hands me a knife. "Not that kinda weapon." She looks confused. "Where's your weapon then?" "Probably still asleep." She giggles. "Maka Chan is silly, and looks so cute." I roll my eyes, and the toast pops up. "Here Gem, toast." "MAGIC!" I got out strawberry jam and handed it to her. "Strawberries, YAY!" I sigh and took out a knife, I spread the jam on my toast. Gem tries dumping it out. "Give me that." I spread jam on her toast and handed it to her. "Yummy yum yum!" I grab my bag and slipped on my purple shoes. "Bye Gem." She waves. I walked out the door.

I walk to the doors and saw Kid talking to Patty, and Liz was leaning against the building. "Hey Maka." I wave, Patty jumps up. "HI HI MAKA CHAN!" I smile. "Hi Patty, what are you guys doing here? You go to this school?" Kid shook his head. "No we don't, we like to come here sometimes, I think Patty likes to annoy the students though." I look away. "Oh." I have a feeling I'm not going to see him alot. Or Liz and Patty, maybe I won't see them for so long I'll forget all about them. "Maka are you okay?" I look at Kid who looked alittle worried. "Yeah..." But I'm not. I walk to the door and waved them good bye.

"Maka wait!" I stop. "What Kid?" He points at my legs. "YOUR SOCKS DON'T MATCH, DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT SYMMETRY?" I didn't give two fucks about it but I didn't want to upset Kid. "Oh I couldn't find a matching pair so Gem found this one for me." Kid gives me a confued look. "Okay?" I wave and disappear into the building. I felt uncomfortable because people were staring at me. Why? I don't know. I walk into the classroom and sat down. "Hey meister." I open my bag and pulled out my book.

"Ignore me." I look at my partner and giggle. "I'm not ignoring you Soul, I'm trying to get ready." He rolls his eyes. "Yea yea, like I'll believe ya." I push him. "ABUSE!" "Older." He got back up and rested his head on his desk. "Maka." I began to read. "Yes Soul?" "What happened last night, when you were alone with Kid?" I glare at him. "That is none of your business Soul." He grabs my arm. "Tell me, what did you guys talk about?" "Nothing." He pulls on my arm, I about fell on him. "Are you guys.. you know...?"

My eyes widen and I hesitate. "What NO EEEWWWW!" He got up. "You like him don't you!" "No I don't!" He pushes me. "Don't lie Maka you guys are so alike!" "What like you and Tsubaki! You two seem close!" He grabs my jacket and pulls me up. "Shut up bitch!" "Let me go! I HATE YOU!" "ENOUGH!" We turn and saw Sid standing there watching us. Soul hesitates. "How long have you been standing there?" "Oh the whole damn time!" My heart was racing. "Soul put your meister down." Sid points at the ground. Soul lets go of me and I fall to the ground. "Ow." "What was that?" Soul looks away. "A fight, don't you know what a fight is?" Sid sighs and looks at me, stupid, helpless, and weak little me. "Maka what was the fight about?" "Who we like." Sid walks off. "What a stupid thing to fight about, you two meet me after class." Soul and I went frozen, he punched his desk and kicks me I yelp, why didn't I get up? "It's all your fault Maka, you couldn't just admit it." Soul left the classroom, I began to cry, but nobody knew, I was so silent.

After class I sat down in front of Sid's desk. "Where is that weapon of yours?" I shrug, I'm still trying to recover from my silent fit. Sid pats my head. "Its okay Maka, your fine." I shook my head. "I'm sorry." A knock came from the door. "Soul come in." He shook his head. "Now Soul." He comes over and sat next to me, glaring at me, I just look down. Sid began to speak. "Okay, I just cannot let you guys keep on fighting like this, it disturbs the class and you're not bonding well when you do that!" Soul points at me. "She wouldn't tell the truth." "I did." Sid slams his hands on his desk. "SHUT UP! You guys are going to go after an enemy, and improve your bonding skills. His name is Slog and is a very difficult enemy to defeat." Soul shouts. "Why are you giving us one star's a difficult enemy?" "You two need to bond better, you fight over the dumbest things." I nod. "Great both of you hop on that bike of yours and go to the city of music." We nod and left for the city if music.

"Soul are we lost?" "Cool guys like me don't get lost." It looks like plain and more plains ahead. "Do you know where the place is?" "Yes I've been to the city of music before." Should have known. It felt like forever since we left the school. "I'm tired Soul." "Then sleep." I fell into his back and rested my eyes. I open one eye and saw a bit of light in the distance. "See the light?" I nod. "That's the city, we'll be there in a half hour or so." "Okay." I rested my eyes again. It was all peaceful until I heard sounds from everywhere. I shot up and saw it we were in the city of music. "Wow. ITS LOUD!" "YEAH IT IS!" Soul parked his bike and we left. I don't know if finding this guy would be easy to find or not. "Maka, look at that." I walk in and saw a big pile of garbage with eyes. Soul tugs my arm. "Bet fifty bucks that's Slog." I went over to it. "Uh excuse me are you Slog?" It opens its mouth.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAA!" I about barf, Soul points. "I'll take that as a yes." "EWWW!" I look at Soul. "Lets get this thing over with." Soul changes into a scythe and I walk over to Slog. "Do you think stabbing it will work?" "I am NOT touching that thing!" Soul changes out of his scythe form and points at him. "How big of a threat is that thing?" I walk over to a mirror and call Lord Death. "Hello Lord Death are you there?" "Yea yea hello!" I smile. "This is scythe meister Maka here."

"Hi Maka is there something you need?" I look back at Slog then at Lord Death. "Were fighting an enemy named Slog, we want to know how big of a threat is he?" "Oh a BIG threat he attacks eveyone in his path." "Okay thanks." I left and walk over to Soul who was poking Slog with a stick. "Well apparently he is a big threat." "Are you kidding me, the thing doesn't move, how does he attack?" Just then a guy runs by screaming and Slog bends down and ate him. Soul and I look at each other.

"That's his attack?" I sigh. Soul pokes it with a stick again. Slog grabs Soul and throws him. "AH crap crap crap!" I ran over to find Soul who was in garbage. "What was that?" I pull Soul out. "Change into a scythe Soul." He changes and we walk over to Slog. "Okay we are going to kill you now Slog okay?" Slog gave me a thumbs up. I stab him and realized it did nothing. "Nasty, Maka I don't want to stab at it." "To damn bad!" I kept stabbing at Slog and it did nothing. "Want to find a hotel and continue this tomorrow?" "Please." Soul changes back and we walk to his bike and we drove off to find a hotel.

I started reading my book, what is happening is that the lady is killing her twin sister and drowning her husband. Crazy woman. I heard the shower stop. "Do you smell less like an ass?" "Hahaha very funny Maka!" Soul comes out and rested on the bed. "It's your fault that I smelled like a dead skunk!" I smile and hug him. "Sorry but your the weapon." He rolls his eyes and fell asleep. I reach over and turn off the light. "Night Soul." He lifts up a hand. I crawl to the other side of the bed and fell asleep.

I wake up and look at the time, 9:00 wow first time I've slept in since I started school. I shook Soul. "Come on wake up." Soul hid his face in the blankets, I pulled the blankets off. "Wake up Soul." He grabbed my hair and pulled me down. "Soul wake up now." "One more minute." I pushed him off the bed. "Owww." I crawl to the edge. "Awake now?" He gives me a dirty look. "I hate you so much right now." I smile. "We have to get ready." Soul got up and pulled me off the bed. "Ha now I'm happy." I grab his leg and tripped him. "Hey what was that for?" I crawl over and wrap my arms around his neck. "Let go of me." I giggle and release my grip. I got up and ran into the bathroom.

"I'm gonna change okay?" "Whatever." I stripped off my pajamas and got changed into my usual outfit. I walked back out Soul still laying on the floor. "Do you always have to dress like a school girl?" "Do you always have to dress like a punk?" Soul smiles. "Because pigtails." I look outside, today is the day we kill this thing, and leave.

We walk back to the street Slog sits. "Hey Slog." Slog waves. Soul backs away. "Soul what is wrong." "I am NOT going to be thrown again." I shook my head. "You're not going to be thrown aga-" Slog grabs Soul and throws him again. "Really Slog again?" Slog blinks. I ran after Soul. He landed in the same spot. "Hey Kid would have been proud of his aim." Soul looks at me. "Can we leave now?" "No." Soul changes into a scythe and I walk over to Slog. I stabbed Slog, he just sat there. I kept stabbing him, then I hit him and garbage splats on me. "Sick." Soul laughs. "Ha tables turned on you!" I glare at him.

"I will throw you." I kept stabbing Slog until more garbage came. Soul changed back. "HA look at you, you're a mess." I push him into Slog he pulled me in. "Don't touch me, let me go!"

"You started it Maka." I slap him and he tackled me to the ground. "Wanna slap me again?" "I'm about to." Slog grabbed us and threw us into the garbage. Soul glares at me. "You're dead." I kick his face. "No you are." Soul grabs my leg and threw me against a wall. I tackle him to the ground and punched him. "Knock it off!"

Soul changes and we stab at him again. "Yea lets ask Kid if he knows something." Soul grumbles. "Hey I said knock it off." "I just hate Kid." Figures, we called Lord Death. He had no clue.

"May I ask someone named Kid?" "Yea sure Maka." Kid appears. "Hello Maka, Soul do you need anything?" "We need to know how to defeat Slog, all he's doing is throwing Soul." Kid thins for a moment. "People don't die right away when Slog eats them, so maybe let Slog throw Soul..." "I already hate this plan." Kid hushes Soul. "And Maka gets eaten then maybe you can destroy his soul."

"I really hate this plan." Kid hushed Soul again. "Will do Kid seeya." Soul grumbles, I wave Kid goodbye. "Kay idiot lets go." We walk up to Slog and waited to see what would happen. He grabs Soul and ate him... wait DAMN!

"SOUL!" I heard him inside of Slog. "Nasty son of a bitch, I will kill you." Thank god he was okay. Soul change of plans you'll have to kill him." I heard Soul walk. "Yea yea." I heard him stop. "Black Star?" I heard Black Star's voice. "Hey buddy did you try to defeat Slog?" I about laugh. I heard Tsubaki.

"mussst gettt oouuut of herree..." She is going insane. Soul kept walking. "Found it." I heard Soul eat it then Slog falls right on me. "Maka you okay?" Soul pulled me out of the garbage. "Yea I'm okay." We stare at each other for a moment then laugh. "You look nasty." "Oh you should talk I was piled on." We kept laughing. Tsubaki ran out. "FREEDOM! AHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" We paused for a moment then started all over again.

I was brushing my hair while Soul was taking a shower, I was lucky to go in first. Soul came out and grabbed my arm. "Come on Maka time to go." I was forced out then hoped on the bike. Music was playing through the air. It wasn't as good as Soul's playing but it was okay to hear.

"Hey Soul when we get back can you play me something?"

"Hell no." I smile, that was my weapon. An asshole but you can't hate him. He's more than the cool kid at school, he's a friend who always has my back. "Soul."

"What now?" I cuddle into his back. "We're still friends right?"

"Yea Maka of course, why the fuck would you think were not?"

"Because, you're not there sometimes when I need you." I hug him tighter. "Please don't leave me Soul." Soul chuckles a bit.

"I promise."

Wow I about quit really I told my friend Noa I was quiting because this sucks but she was begging so yea, maybe chapter 10 ya want it? How I got an idea for nine, me and my sister were joking around talking about something slug-like called Slog and BAM! typing like no tomorrow. I again was stressed thanks to my friends begging and busy, AND my family is doing some home decorating. Well a question for Soul...

'From Kaoru97' "How do you feel about Maka? in detail "

Soul: Wait I have to be positive fuck, well she's alittle rude in my point of view but for a while now I can't stand to see her with another guy, I don't like her in a gf sort of way, but she is cute, when she gets mad sometimes I find her adorable. I love seeing Maka though, she's a good friend and partner, a little strict but you can't hate her. So... yea, do I get a Kaoru chop?
