Silence, deafening silence. They stared hard at one another, each trying to gauge the others emotions. Maka tried hard not tremble but a slight tremor still ran through the arm he was holding. He noticed and smirked.

"It's been awhile, hasn't it Maka-Chan?"

Maka frowned trying to yank her hand back; he wouldn't release it, only tightening his grip to where it was almost painful. Her eyes flashed in annoyance.

"Cut the crap! What are you here for? Tormenting Soul isn't enough for you now? You twisted bastard!"

The demon frowned, his gold eyes seeming disinterested but Maka could see troubled emotions swirling behind the mist of indifference.

"I simple wanted to spend time with you Maka."

She didn't miss how he dropped the suffix; he didn't acknowledge her questioning stare. Instead his hand released some of the pressure on hers and his thumb started to brush along the top of her hand.

"Surely he can be without you for a short while and allow me to have some of your time."

His hand tightened again, his thumb stopping its soft motions as he snarled out his statement. Again she tugged her hand, this time he released it, his head tilting up to look straight at her.

"What exactly do you want from me?"

"Everything."

Maka yelped as he suddenly grabbed hold of her arm again and tugged her down into his lap. He leaned in and she quickly turned her head making him miss his mark. His lips landed on her cheek before moving quickly down her neck. She tried to push him off but he only tightened his hold, arms like iron bands around hers. She barley made out what he was whispering in her ear.

"I am a part of Soul, Maka-Chan. You can't just shove me in a room and expect me to leave. I feel what he feels, he lovesyou, I love you. You shower him with your love and affection, completely ignoring me and I don't like to be ignored."

Maka barely contains a gasp as his teeth ravage her neck, leaving little red marks of possession behind. Her head was doing circles, echoing the same answer that really sounded more like a question.

"But…that's different?"

She desperately wanted to take it back. The demon froze; tension and hostility seemed to bloom out of nowhere before suddenly, the room spun as he picked her up and then slammed her back down into the couch, with him straddling her. Maka made the mistake of looking into his face. He was absolutely livid.

"How is it different Maka-Chan?!"

He snarled, gold eyes turning molten in his anger. She gasped as his hands seized her throat, tightening their hold as he yelled at her.

"It's always about him! Look at me Maka-what do you see?!! I am him! I love you! I want you! I need you! I'm tired of being ignored, of being denied! Love me like you love him!"

He released his hold on her neck and she sucked in air greedily, it was silent for a few moments as emerald stared hard into molten, fiery gold. His gaze softened and he stroked her throat in an apologetic matter.

"Please," he whispers eyes boring into hers.

Where her ears deceiving her? Was he begging? She stared in full blown astonishment at the tone of his voice. It sounded absolutely pleading.

"Love me…"

His face bended down to hers, their eyes not leaving each others as they breathed each other in. She licked her lips in…..anticipation?

"..Like you love him.

He whispered mournfully before connecting their lips. Maka closed her eyes, such sorrow, such longing. She could not help responding, it was a timid kiss at first, before he pulled away and stared, she stared back. They quickly met again in desperation, tongues dueling, and teeth clashing. Suddenly he jerked away muttering a curse, before his eyes flashed to crimson.

Soul blinked in open confusion, before his eyes landed on his partner. What was he doing on top of her? She seemed mused, her lips slightly plumper then usual and then, he caught the small red marks on her neck. He froze.

"Holy shit, are you alright? Did he hurt you?! Maka?"

Maka barley registered Soul calling her name, her head swam in confusion of what had just transpired. What had she done? No, nothing was wrong with what she had done, he needed her, had needed her. And she ignored him, if she was in his position she wouldn't want to be ignored. Her mind raced back and forth between being traitorous to Soul and still being faithful because it was still Soul, just a different part of him…right?

"ANWSER ME MAKA!"

Said girl gave out a startled yell as she was jostled by her shoulders by her weapon. He looked utterly terrified; she gave a small, shaky smile hoping to calm his nerves.

"I'm alright Soul, see?"

She placed her hands on his sweating face, he didn't seem convinced. He grabbed her hands and pulled them away from is face but still held them gently. She winced as he shifted above her, he noticed and quickly scrambled off of her with a stuttered sorry.

Her mind was racing, now what was she supposed to do? She felt Soul's hand on her chin and she complied when he turned her face toward him.

"What happened?" he whispered, eyes searching her.

She held his gaze before breaking it with a heartfelt sigh. She needed to think, alone. She took the hand on her chin and squeezed.

"I'm sorry Soul, I need to think."

With that, Maka dropped his hand and walked towards her room, her feat dragging pathetically. Soul gaped after her, before quickly catching up with her before she could lock him out.

"What the hell Maka? Talk to me! Tell me what happened!!"

She turned in her doorway and smiled softly at her partner.

"I will Soul, but not now. Now I need to be alone and think, I promise to tell you, but right now I need some space."

She kissed him fully before hugging him, murmured a quick good night before shutting the door softly in her confused partners face. Soul stood awkwardly outside her door for a few minutes debating on whether or not her she bust down the door and demand she give him answers or just leave her be. He decided on the latter and shuffled down the hall to his own room. He trusted his partner, he knew she would come to him, the question is when? Needless to say, he didn't get much sleep that night.
