SOUL EATER: ~AFTERMATH~
Chapter 18 - Things Aren't What They Seem... Love, Lies... Excalibur?
"Hi, this is Jake with a very special message for a very special someone! Happy birthday webidolchiu94! Thanks to you and your boyfriend Soul Eater J. Evans for enjoying this fan fiction so much!"
"... So that's what happened." Jake finished explaining how they had lost Messor.
"It's okay Jake. We'll get him back, it will just take time." Death tried to be understanding. They stood completely quiet for a few moments.
"FOOL!" a voice broke the silence.
"He's still here!" Dani groaned as Excalibur entered the room.
"Young woman my presence should be revered by all. Are you not rejoicing at the mere sight of me?"
"No, I-"
"FOOL!"
"Hey don't call my girlfriend a fool!" Jake butted in.
"FOOL!"
"Jake did you just call me your girlfriend?" Dani asked embarrassed.
"FOOL!" Excalibur was waving his cane in their faces but they weren't paying attention.
"Um, yeah... I guess I did... why?"
"FOOLS!"
"Well it's just that you haven't said it before... it's... nice."
"FOOL!" Excalibur swung his cane a tad bit too high and hit Jake in the crotch.
"AHHHH!" he fell to the ground and Dani quickly rushed to his side.
"JAKE!" she starting rubbing his back. "It's okay. You're going to be okay..."
"FOOLS! By letting him escape you have given the enemy the perfect chance to gain the upper-hand!"
"What do you mean?" Jake asked covering himself.
"FOOL! If they get a hold of Messor they will have the black blood. If they get the black blood they will be able to make more? Do you understand me now boy?" Excalibur seemed serious.
"Yeah... I guess I do-"
"FOOL!"
"WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?" Dani was getting angry at the little white creature.
"...It is time for tea. I will drink only the finest in all the land, no substitutes."
"Okay Death we've had enough of this." Jake said getting up and grabbing Dani's hand. They left the Death Room only to be confronted by Black Star and Soul.
"So what were you guys talking to Lord Death about?" Soul asked staring at Jake.
"It was about Messor..." Jake started.
"OH YEAH! You two let him get away didn't you? If it were me and Tsubaki we would've captured him no problem!" Black Star said in his always over confident tone. Jake paused for a moment then had a bright idea.
"Hey Black Star... Death is in there with a really famous casting director and he said he wanted to see you." Jake pointed at the door.
"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" he marched proudly through the door.
"There's not a really a director in there..." Soul looked at Jake and Dani. Nobody said anything until they heard Black Star scream.
"We're going to get going... big date planned." Jake pulled Dani close.
"But... we don't have a-" Dani was completely lost.
"BIIIIIIG date planned..." he looked her in the eyes and she got it.
"Yeah! We'll see you later soul..." she waved bye as they walked away.
"Okay... cool... see you two later."
When they got home Dani took off her jacket and laid on the couch. She let out a long sigh then rolled over and glared at Jake.
"So why did we lie to Soul?" Dani asked looking directly at Jake.
"...Well after lying to Black Star it felt like the right thing to do." he answered
"You need to stop it. Lies only cause problems."
"Yeah I guess you're right..."
There was a knock at their door and they could hear Stein on the other side.
"Excuse me children but you didn't return to class after running off earlier." Stein was talking to the door.
"OH CRAP! I forgot that we ran out of his room to ask Death what happened to Messor!" Jake was freaking out.
"What are you going to do about it?" Dani looked at Jake frowning. He went to the door and opened it. Stein was on the other side cranking the bolt in his head.
"Sorry Professor Stein... you see, me and Dani weren't feeling well so we went to the infirmary and Nygas sent us home.
"WHAT?" Dani shouted from the other room.
"Hmm... Well next time inform me before leaving my class... That will be all." he turned and started walking back towards the school. Jake closed the door and returned to Dani who was red in the face.
"YOU LIED AGAIN!" she yelled at Jake.
"Well what was I supposed to do?" he asked her.
"Tell him the truth!"
"Oh yeah like that would've worked." Jake rolled his eyes.
"I am so mad at you right now! UGH!"
"You know you're not mad at me."
"YES I AM!"
"No you're not... we have a big date remember?" Jake was smiling at her. He sat down next to Dani and when she looked up he kissed her.
"Well... okay, maybe I'm not one hundred percent mad at you... but you need to quit lying please." she gave a tiny smile and kissed him back.
"Sure thing."
"So where are you going to take me?"
"What do you mean?" Jake stared at Dani with a confused expression on his face.
"You said that we were going on a big date..." she pouted at him.
"Oh... I lied..."
