Chapter 5
The next few weeks passed by too quickly for Soul's liking. The dance was this Friday night and he still hadn't asked anyone to go with him. Even Black*Star had succeeded in obtaining someone. Apparently Black*Star was to 'big' for anyone normal to be his partner. So he had asked Tsubaki. He had told Soul that Tsubaki was the only one that could keep up with his greatness. But both Soul and Maka suspected that there was more to it than that. Did Black*Star have feelings for Tsubaki? Most people seemed to think so.
Their other friend, Death the Kid was taking Liz. It seemed that Soul was the only guy in their group that was not taking his Shibusen partner to the dance.
Soul collapsed onto the couch. Maka had gone out to the movies with Kirikou -much to Souls dislike- so Soul was able to do as he wished for a couple of hours without her nagging him as usual. Flipping through the channels he sighed remembering that there was nothing on T.V on Tuesday nights except old western movies and cheesy soap operas. He settled for some crappy game show just before his mobile rang.
Groaning at the effort, Soul stood up and grabbed his phone off the table. The caller display read.
'The Great One'
Black*Star had grabbed Soul's phone and changed his own contact details while he wasn't looking, It was annoying, but the Soul wasn't bothered to change it back.
He flipped it open and spoke into the receiver.
"What." He said monotony.
"Soul, man you should come over. Tsubaki is at Liz and Patti's house so the great me is all alone." Black*Star spoke, way to cheerfully.
Soul didn't have anything else planned for the evening. He weighed out his options. He could either sit on the couch watching the painful T.V shows and continue to be depressed. Or he could go spend some time with his friend that he had been out of touch with lately.
"Yeah, sure. I'll be there soon." Soul answered, choosing the latter.
Not waiting for Black*Stars response he slid the phone closed. He turned back to the T.V and switched it off before heading out the door.
Maka hugged her freezing frame. Where was Kirikou? He was supposed to be here 20minutes ago. She had agreed to his offer to take her to the cinema's on a date. – Good bonding exercise- But it was rude of him to make her wait this long especially in the cold. She had worn only a skirt and a shirt, not worrying about a vest like she usually did, but now Maka regretted it. God she was cold. And now people were starting to give her strange looks. Maka sighed and shivered as another gust of ripped at her body, causing her hair to flutter and momentarily cover her face.
She got a fright as the phone in her hand vibrated. She flipped it open and answered.
"Hello?"
"Maka? It's Kirikou."
"Oh, hi are you almost here?" She spoke, raising her voice over the wind.
"I'm really sorry, but i'm going to have to cancel. I've come down with a cold. Can we reschedule our date for when this passes?" He said, Maka noticed he wasn't lying, his voice sounded funny, like when you try and talk when holding your nose.
"Of course, get better." She said sympathetically.
"Thanks Maka, Sorry again."
"No problem, see you at school." She said before ending the call.
Maka sighed, wondering what to do now. She was freezing her arse off and all she really wanted to do was go home to her nice warm bed...maybe she was coming down with a cold as well.
He had been at Black*Stars house for about 20minutes now, they were playing monopoly and Black*Star was winning, which didn't improve Soul's mood.
"KYAHAHA AND THE GREAT BLACK*STAR BEATS YOU AGAIN!" His friend yelled exuberantly.
Soul sighed and handed him over the $400 he owed from landing on his property.
"You're going down!" Black*Star laughed placing the money on his un-organized and increasing pile of wealth.
"Whatever, I'm bored. Do you have any alcohol? Or did we drink it all the other day?" Soul asked, getting up and heading over to the fridge.
"Um i think there are a couple of beers left over, unless Tsubaki took them with her this afternoon." Black*Star answered rolling the die for his turn.
Soul opened up the fridge and was glad to see two bottles on the lower shelf.
"Do you want one?" He asked reaching into the cold storage container.
"Yeah, thanks."
Neither of the boys were old enough to buy their own drinks yet so Black*Star got Tsubaki to get the alcohol for them. That was one of the good things about having an older partner.
Soul placed the glass bottle in front of the assassin before tipping his head back and taking a huge slug on the drink.
"Dude, go easy." Black*Star warned him.
Soul gave his friend the finger before taking the bottle away from his mouth and coughing.
"Screw you" Soul joked.
"You ok? You don't normally drink that much in one go..."
"I'm fine." Soul mumbled in response, taking another swig of the alcohol.
"Your phones ringing." Black*Star announced pointing to the mobile on the floor next to the game board.
Soul walked over and looked at the name. His heart jumped when he read, 'Incoming call, Maka Albarn.'
"Maka?" He asked talking into the speaker after sliding the phone open and placing it on his ear.
"Uh. Yeah. Hi." He heard her reply.
"Aren't you supposed to be seeing a movie with Kirikou?" Soul forced the name out unwillingly.
"Yeah, well he just rang me to say he's caught a cold and had to cancel." Maka told her weapon.
"Oh..."
"Uh-huh, well seeming I'm already here and stuff i was wondering if you wanted to see a movie with me tonight?" She said confidently.
"Yeah, sounds cool." Soul replied. Hanging out with Maka was so much cooler than playing Monopoly with Black*Star.
"Yay! The next movie is showing at 9:15 so be quick ok?" She said happily before hanging up on him.
Soul inwardly Hi-fived himself.
"What was that about?" Black*Star asked him, taking a drink from the bottle.
"I'm ditching you and seeing a movie with Maka instead." Soul said simply, downing the last of his beer before grabbing his keys and walking towards the door.
"What? Don't leave me! I'll be bored! The one to surpass god should never be bored!" Black*Star yelled after him.
"Go work out or something! Isn't that what you usually do?" Soul replied from the front door in the next room.
"Arg hurry up Soul!" She mumbled, jumping up and down on the spot, trying unsuccessfully to get warm.
She was originally just going to ask Soul to come pick her up, it was super cold and it looked like it was going to rain. Maka really didn't want to walk all the way home, especially not in this weather. So seeming she was already here and dressed up she may as well see the movie anyway. So she had just invited Soul without a second thought. But thinking about it now, Maka was nervous that things would be awkward between them. Soul had been acting differently since Kirikou had asked her to the dance. But maybe that was just her imagination over- exaggerating things.
Maka was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a loud group of men walk her way.
"Hey pretty! What you doing out in the dark by yourself?" One of the men asked her, tossing away an empty bottle that no doubt contained some sort of alcohol.
Maka ignored them, they couldn't be talking to her, these sort of things didn't happen to a strong girl like herself. But she realized that most of the times that she was around gangs of men like these was when Soul was with her, like when they were in Italy for example. But now she was alone.
Maka looked around, hoping that someone would stop the men before they got to her. But there was no one, just the occasional shadow from the figures inside the cinema door. Maka panicked slightly before reminding herself that she was finely capable of protecting herself.
"Come here sweetie! We're bored, but I'm sure you can help us think of something to keep us entertained." The gang laughed at their leaders words.
"Leave me alone." Maka warned strongly.
"Hahaha, make me." The man said, walking up to her and grabbing her wrist.
"Don't touch me!" Maka yelled pulling her arm away from the creep.
"Aw come on honey, we just want some fun!" He said pulling Maka back towards him as she had tried to take a step back.
"MAAAAKKKAAA- CHOP!" She yelled as she hit the thug on the head with the rather large book that she had brought out of nowhere. "So who wants a go at me now?" She grinned at the remainder of the men.
The men only laughed at her attempt as they surrounded her, blocking her ways of escaping.
"Go on, touch me, you'll be sorry when Soul gets here." She threatened.
"Hahaha what kind of a name is Soul? He must be gay with a name like that." The men laughed.
Maka struggled to get out of their hold as they forced her away from the cinema. She could only pray that Soul would turn up before they tried anything. These things didn't happen to girls like her. They only happened to pretty, curvy girls in movies.
"Come on Soul." She whispered, flinging a punch at the closest guy.
Tell me if you think I've made anyone OOC.
