Chapter 17: Mystery of Tira's Death

I thought alot about Tira, though its been a week since her death, who killed her? My mind is racing with questions unanswered. I can't take not knowing, eh you know me little miss know it all. Maybe I should ask Lord Death, but I want to figure out and stop it alone... what am I going to do?

"What do you want to do again?" Soul gave me a confused look.

"Find out who killed Tira." He rolls his eyes.

"You can't be serious Maka."

"I'm serious." He sighs.

"You know we're only young "Children" let the adults take care of it." I stomp my foot on the ground.

"I am NOT going to stand around and let the adults take care of something we've witnessed Soul." He lightly hit his head and thought for a moment.

"Alright, lets figure this mystery out." I smile.

"Thanks."

"Like I have a choice?" I giggle a bit.

"So what do we start with?" I had to ask. Soul kinda looked up.

"Remember what Tira said?" I shook my head.

"She said, "She said she'd bring Lily back"." I snap my fingers.

"Oh right, so we're obviously trying to find a woman." Soul nods.

"Any other clues?" He shook his head, we both sighed.

"This is going to be harder than I thought."

"HI GUYS WHAT'CHA DOIN OUT HERE?!" Soul and I both jump.

"Dammit Black Star!" He laughs.

"Sorry you two but seriously what are you doing out here?" I look at him.

"It's after school can't we sit outside?" Black Star gives us an evil smile.

"Oh I see what's going on here, don't mind me I'll just go." Soul tries to hit him.

"NOTHING LIKE THAT ASSHOLE!"

"Soul just ignore him, we have other things to worry about."

"Maka so far we know we're looking for a woman." I look up.

"And we'll get far enough to solve it, I just know it." He smirks.

"Okay pigtails, whats your suggestion?"

"And we go back to the scene of the crime... nice." I glare at him.

"Shut up Soul, this may help!"

"Whatever." I walk around the area where the beam was, where she laid and where she was attacking us...NOTHING! Soul pokes at the giant hole in the ground from that unusual beam.

"OW SON OF A MOTHER FUCKING BITCH OW!"

"Soul, watch the language." He gave me a look.

"You touch the hole!" I walk over to the hole in the ground.

"Wow so painf... OW SON OF A MOTHER FUCKING BITCH OW!" Okay sorry for my language but that hurt, it felt like a painful burn. Wait... I look at Soul.

"This..." Soul nods. We said it at the same time.

"It was not a meister or weapon pair that killed her..." Now I'm scared, but if you don't believe me then listen up! A weapon cannot make such a powerful beam on his/her own, Tira was not an exception, and even with a meister it wouldn't burn you even after a long period of time. What killed her?

"Soul want to call it a day, tomorrow is a day off..." Soul nods still holding his hand. I smile.

"Okay at ten am meet me here Soul." He nods again, and walked off. I headed home.

I walk through the door and saw Gem, she was playing with a balloon... wait what?

"Maka Chan I'm huuunnngggrrrry..." I sigh and put my bag down.

"I'll cook in a minute, just let me rest." She made a pouting face.

"Maka Chan hates Gem."

"I do not Gem." She giggles.

"Does Maka Chan LOVE Gem?" I roll my eyes.

"Yes Gem."

"YAY!" I can't lie, Gem is like a sister, a stupid, annoying sister.

"Hey Gem."

"Ye~s?" I look away.

"We're trying to find out who Tira's killer is, would you have an idea?" She thought for a moment, could she finally be getting a good idea and being serious?

"A goblin man!" No... she is the same.

"Goblins are you serious?" She nods.

"I'm gonna cook Gem, you're no help what so ever." She made a pouting face.

"Maka Chan is mean to Gem."

"Yes I am." She needs to learn to get over things. Then again so should I.

"So what have we found?" Soul stares at me, sorry I asked.

"NOTHING... I'm tired." I nod.

"Maka who the hell is that behind you?" Oh great.

"HI HI I FOLLOWED YOU MAKA CHAN!"

"Gem...go home..." She makes a face...again.

"No I'm helping, see a magnifying glass... I heard it can burn skin if you put it in derect sunlight." She holds the magnifying glass up to the sun and angled it to her stomach.

"...Yep it's true." Soul pulls me away.

"How dumb is she?"

"Soul that is mean...very." Gem pokes Soul's cheek.

"Who are you?"

"Soul." She giggles.

"So you're the guy Maka's bee talking about, you ARE cute." I threw a rock at Gem.

"Quit flirting with my weapon and help." She moans.

"But MAKA CHAAAAAN he's soooooo cute!" She was REALLY starting to piss me off.

"Just get searching, both of you." We all we're looking for a clue.

"I FOUND ANTS!" Gem shouts in excitement, Soul yells.

"Wonderful, it's not like we're in a dirt covered area or anything!"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP AND SEARCH!" We we're quiet for a good fifteen minutes...until...

"I'M BORED! THIS MYSTERY IS BORING AND GOING NO WHERE, I'M SLEEPY!" GOD Gem would not shut up... Another fifteen minutes, she whines and took a nap. FINALLY! An hour of silence...

"Soul did ya find anything?"

"No." I stare at the hole again, I poke it.

"Ah." Still burns. I started to think when Soul started freaking out.

"Soul?"

"GET THIS CHICK OFF OF ME!" I grab Gem and forced her to sit.

"Maka Chan is lame."

"AM NOT!" She pouts like a four year old.

"I want to see Soul Kun." Soul Kun... oh she is...

"MAKA KEEP HER AWAY!" I pull Gem away AGAIN.

"Stop that."

"But he's cute!" Soul points at Gem.

"See Maka this is the reason why I hate girls..." I look at Soul.

"I'm a girl and we get along well." Soul chuckles.

"Because you're so boyish, I wonder if you're even a girl." Gem smiles.

"Of course Maka Chan is a girl, I'll prove it." She walks up from behind.

"Watch Soul Kun." What the fuck is she going to do? She grabs my chest and...

"WHA- GEM STOP IT THAT FEELS WEIRD!" She giggles.

"Oh come on Maka Chan we're both girls." Soul was holding his nose.

"She is wearing a skirt lets see what's under it."

"GEM STOP IT!" She lifts my skirt up a bit... Soul falls over.

"AH SOUL!" I slap Gem and ran to Soul.

"Soul are you okay, is something wrong?!" He opens his eyes and stares at me.

"I'm alittle light... headed..." I gave him a look.

"Why the fuck didn't you help me?" Soul shrugs. Are you fucking kidding me, my body was violated and he stood there like a DUMBASS?! I got up and walk away.

"Gem go home, you have not helped AT ALL!" She looked hurt.

"Maka Chan, sniff..."

"If you have ONE idea that could help, then you could stay." She thought for a moment.

"Maybe you saw something before you left the scene." I stood there for a moment... wait that thing in the sky! I grab Gem and Soul.

"Another clue, before we left I saw something in the sky before we left!" Soul sighs.

"It was probably a bird, Maka."

"No because it quickly vani..." I froze.

"Soul, Gem, what is female... can send a powerful attack, and can vanish in an instant?" They shrug.

"A WITCH!" Soul looks scared, Gem well, looked confused.

"It all adds up, and the fact witches hate DWMA students!" Soul nods.

"Well Maka, you are now the smartest person I've ever met." I smile.

"Uh... thanks." Yeah sooooo embarrassed right now. Wait that means a stupid magical bitch lied and killed Tira, why did she do it? Gem hugs me.

"Maka Chan, it's time to go home." I nod, sure we were here for two hours but that was enough for me.

"Let's get going." We all stood up and left the scene.

Before Gem and I turned the corner, Soul stopped me.

"You okay?" I nod and smile.

"Fake."

"Fuck."

"Well now I know you're a girl... I think." I was mad.

"You forget everything you saw or else!" Soul chuckled a bit, then he kissed my cheek and whispered.

"Bye... Maka Chan." He walked off, what the fuck was that all about? Gem squeals. Before she can say anything I walk home, but she does live with me so I heared it anyways.

"Soul Kun is in love with Maka Chan!" My face started to burn, now with a weird passion.

"Gem shut up."

"A LOVE STORY YAY!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" I ran home and ran strait to my room. Gem peeks her head in and left. I was alone in my room, why did Soul kiss me... again? Why did I actually like it?

"Soul... I think I'm falling for you..."

Um... yeah I have been stressed with school... funny fact, I typed most of this while cosplaying as Maka lol, I was so into the character at that moment... :D I haven't been getting any sleep either... *passes out next to Kid who was recovering from blood loss*

Maka: Guess I'll finish this... want Chapter 18? Or is this it for Jadyn? Remember this is your choice.

Black Star: I SAY YES!

Maka: Maka Chop!

*Black Star lays next to Jadyn head bleeding.*

Maka: Okay better answer yes.

*Jadyn lifts an arm.* NO

Maka: MAKA CHOP!
