*Sorry for the lack of an update in the last month :P Promise it will return to a normal update!*
"Soul please-" Maka begs following Soul down the driveway with Soul almost trying to run.
"13 GOD DAMNED YEARS AND I COME BACK TO THIS?!" He yells as he stands trying to fight tears. "WHAT THE HELL?" He yells as Maka stomps her foot on the ground and yells back.
"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LEFT! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY GOODBYE! I WAS ALONE! AND I FOUND SOMEONE WHO GAVE A DAMN ABOUT ME!" She yells back making Soul take a step back. He tries to say something but stops himself, he couldn't believe just a minute ago he was scared, now he was so angry he could commit murder. "If you sent a letter or called… it would be different. But NO. One night you're in your bed, the next your gone and your crap with you. I couldn't afford rent and had to move in with my father." She says as stern faced as Soul had ever seen her.
"I had my reasons for-" He says before the man from inside Maka's house, now with clothes to Soul's relief , comes up and stands between Maka and Soul.
"Listen buddy. I don't like your tone with her, so I suggest you chill, and go." He says with a look that made Soul want to slap the crap out of him.
"Listen, "BUDDY". This is between me, and my… ex-girlfriend. Buzz off." Soul says looking this guy straight in the eye. The guy was more muscular than Soul saw inside the house, he was fairly tan, and had light green eyes. He looked like someone Black*Star would've become if he was really a jerk instead of just a moron.
"Rein, please go back inside. This really is between me and-" Maka says putting a hand on Rein's shoulder as Rein looks back with a angered look.
"You know I hate it when I see someone treat a woman like how he's treating you." He says to Soul's surprise.
"Oh Mr. Prince Charming!" Soul yells sarcastically, making Rein throw back a fist.
"Shut up jackas-" He yells throwing the punch as Soul steps to dodge. Soul throws his own punch but Rein blocks with a backfist and tackling Soul to the ground. The two both trade blows on the ground as Maka yells at them to break it up.
"Maka's house isn't to far!" Star yells as the DWMA group rush to the Albarn house, with Kid floating over on his hoverboard to Star's annoyment. "Jeez mister show-off! So glad I matured up." He complains to Kid's scoff.
"I'm death, you're a simple combat teacher. Get used to it ignoramus." Kid replies.
"YOU KNOW WHAT-" Star yells before he sees Maka's house, with Maka in front yelling at two guys fighting in her yard. "Oh…. Sh-"
"HIT ME AGAIN I DARE YOU!" Rein yells choking Soul and holding him down on the ground. Soul knees Rein in the gut, sending him off as Soul's eyes widen with a toothy grin.
"I will…" Soul hisses as his arm morphs into its scythe form. Maka's eyes widen as she realizes whats happening.
"The black blood…. SOUL!" She yells as Soul brings his arm down on the grounded man, before a sudden flash of light zooms showing Rein holding up his own scythe arm blocking Soul's.
"Looks like we got another scythe. HEHE." Soul chuckles miniacaly to Rein's shocked expression.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?" He screams trying to hold Soul's arm from cutting him. Soul grins wider before he is thrown back by Black*Star. Soul hits his head on the driveway, snapping him out of his blood lusted state.
"The hells going on?!" Star yells looking over at Maka as she helps up Rein.
"That crazy S.O.B tried to kill me!" Rein yells. Star looks at Maka for confirmation to her nodding in agreement. Star looks over and lefts Soul and shakes him.
"The hell man!? Youre gone for 13 years and you come back trying to murder Maka's friend?" He asks.
"Boyfriend." Rein corrects trying to catch his breath.
"Sorry, her boy- WHAT!?" He yells dropping Soul back on the ground and looking over to Maka. Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, and Kid, who tired trying to catch up to Star, arrive as they hear. Shocked expressions themselves. Maka sighs and looks up with her usual stern face.
"Yes. Rein's my boyfriend." She says, as Soul leans up and wipes some blood from his mouth with a scowl.
"Caught them in the middle of their little business." He scoffs in near disgust.
"Shut your mouth!" Rein yells as he changes his arm into its scythe mode before Maka holds him back. Rein cringes and turns his arm normal. "Ok babe." He says grinning at Maka making her smile back.
Soul stands in disgust and pushes through the group and runs down the street, holding back his tears. The group looks at him go. Star shakes and looks and points at Maka in anger.
"THE HELL!? YOU'VE SPENT THE LAST 13 YEARS SAYING YOU'VE WANTED TO SEE HIM BACK SO BAD! HOW YOU MISSED HIM! AND HE COMES BACK AND YOUR IN THIS TOOLS PANTS?!" He yells in anger before Tsubaki comes and puts her hands on his shoulders to calm him.
"Black*Star, please calm-" She begs as her husband looks back, his face red.
"CALM DOWN?! LIKE HELL I'LL CALM DOWN! SHE DIDN'T EVEN FREAKING TELL US! AND WERE HER APPEARENT BEST FRIENDS!" He yells before running out of breath.
"Black*Star, shut the hell up." Maka says making Star's eyes widen and is eyebrow raise. "Yes, I missed him. But I got tired of waiting. I got tired of crying over someone I didn't think was coming back. Someone who tore my heart, and stomped on it. So I found someone else. I'm a grown woman. I'm allowed to be with, AND SLEEP WITH whoever I choose." She states before Star cringes and looks her dead in the eye.
"He came back didn't he? And I guarantee HE NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU." He says before he turns. "Tsubaki. I'll see you at home. I'm going to find him." Star says as he runs out. Kid stops him and nods.
"I'll join you." Kid agrees and follows Star on his board. Maka stands and looks back at Rein.
"Baby, go inside and clean yourself up. I'll be in, in a bit." She ays to Reins nod. He heads inside rubbing a bruise as she turns to the 3 girls. "Can I talk to you three?" She asks.
Soul runs down the street, he didn't want to cry, but he couldn't help it. He needed to cry or he felt his eyelids would blow up. He finally stopped at the Death Bridge. He leans on the rail of the bridge and begins crying over the edge. He had cried a lot over the last 13 years, but these tears were pure hurt. He choked up and had to hit his chest to clear his windpipe. Finally wiping the tears, he looked down the river.
"13 years… 13 god damned years…" He mutters. "You were an idiot, thinking she'd still love you. Be waiting…" He says before the pain returns in his chest. He grunts in uncontrollable pain. "No… why now?!" Soul groans in pain. He ravages into his bag and takes out his pill, swallowing 2 down without water. They were dry going down, but the pain finally went away. He rolled up his blazer sleeve and saw the markings begin to fade away to his relief. "Thank god." He said relieved.
He stood back up, as he did he saw something had fallen out of his bag. He almost freaked grabbing a it, afraid at the fact he almost lost it. It was a small box, not as big as the small makeup kit the women at the country club had when they walked arounf with their pruned faces. Soul stared at this box for a few seconds as people walked past him on the bridge. Some looked and wondered why this young man was staring at this box, but it almost meant the world to him.
"No real need for this anymore…" He muttered to himself. He looked over the railing of the bridge into the river bellow. He held the small box over the edge, his brain telling his fingers to let it go and to fall into the waters depths, but his heart told him to clutch it in his grasps and not let go. He pulled the box back into his chest violently and held it close. "Damnit… GOD FREAKING… Ugh." He groans, placing the box into his bag and looking down at the river again. "Well Souly boy… you got a few weeks left. Might as well go get wasted now…" He mutters to himself and turns to town before a more matured voice of that of the voice he'd grown knowing.
"SOUL! WAIT UP!" Black*Star yells with Kid, who to Soul looked a little ridiculous in his new Shinigami attire, approach. "Dude. WHERE THE HELL YOU BEEN?" Star yells almost in excitement.
"Come on, I'll tell you at the closest bar." Soul says, as Star and Kid both share curious looks then follow Soul into town.
