Alright, I do not own soul eater, because if I did I would be writing for a different fanfic archive so I could mess with someone's else plot line.
Rise of the Staff Meister
Chapter 7:
Death City isn't safe:
Miley is now the prime target?
Miley noticed that Stein was acting strange. He seemed to out right ignore her in class, he also canceled her after school lessons with him. He told her that her attack on the witch was a one time thing. She wondered what had changed his mind.
Stein decided to avoid Miley for the time being. If they thought she was important to him for any reason they would take her. She was the same level and Maka's crew. He knew she could get stronger and he was going to make sure that she would. He wondered if Medusa would come after him and if she did would she send him back into insanity? He hoped that wouldn't happen, Marie had just recovered from last time. He lost so much of his memory from last time and still hadn't gotten all back. He wondered what he would lose if he fell back in. He didn't want to go back there.
He looked up and saw Miley. She was staring at him, her head was tilted to one side. She looked like she was trying to read him. He wanted to laugh. Try as hard as you can, there are only two people who know me that well, Miley. Their eyes met for a fraction of a second. 'What's wrong' was what her's said.
Class ended and Miley just wanted to go home. The day just taking to long. Soon the final bell rang. Miley was first out of the classroom. She took the shortest way home possible. She sat down and opened a book. She needed some time not to think. Miley sighed, she couldn't focus. "Maybe I'll feel better after a walk." She told her book. She started to leave her room.
Stein lit a cigarette, it was his third one in the last two minutes. He really didn't think she was alive. If she had been she would have surly gone after Maka or Chrona not Miley. Why was he acting this way? He walked along the streets of Death City. He wasn't the type to do this,but Medusa was the type to wonder about the Meister ridden city just to spite them. If she was there he would know.
Miley looked at the moon, it had blood dripping out of it's mouth this evening which she knew wasn't a rare occurrence. She felt like she was looking for something but what it maybe she didn't have a clue. She walked along the empty streets humming to herself. "I wonder if he's mad or something?" She muttered. "If he is I have no idea why." She heard something flying though the air...
She couldn't really tell what was flying at her. Her eyes widened and her feet felt like they where glued to the ground. Her fight or flight instinct had failed her, it had chosen fight. The next thing she felt was someone slamming into her from the right. All she could see as she fell the ground was blood. Who ever had saved her was on top of her and seem to be passed out. What ever had injured them was gone. She wasn't sure how. Her brain finally caught up with the rest of her. She rolled her savior off of her. "Professor Stein!" She screamed.
How come he had come to save her once again? He always seemed to be there when she needed help. Miley wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. She couldn't really tell how Stein was doing and she didn't really have time to check. She heard a familiar voice, a voice she never wanted to hear again.
"I told you it would work. Now, we can grab her and go."
"You hit someone else, so technically you plan didn't really work." Miley didn't recognize the second voice but she didn't care who they were, they weren't taking her any where.
"We still have her that's all that really matters."
The two people came into view. Miley recognized the man right away. The women that was with him, Miley could look at her and tell she was witch. She had soul protect on so no one other than Miley knew she was there. "Alright let's grab her and go then."
Miley's brain went into over drive. She couldn't leave Stein in his condition, he would die she knew that. She couldn't let them take her. She stood up, she was ready to fight if she had to. The witch went to grab her. "Come here girly, rib-bit." Miley threw a punch which slammed in to the witch's stomach. Again Miley had a funny feeling. Then the witch's soul hit Miley like a gust of wind.
She stared at the witch. How had she done that? The witch backed away. "How did you do that? No one can release soul protect that way!" Miley just stood there shaking, what was she? The would-be kidnappers ran off. Miley was staring after them, she just watched them leave not really know what else to do. She was brought back by a grown behind her. Stein was sitting up trying to put pressure on his shoulder. Miley hurried over undoing her shirt buttons as she went.
"Oh, geez." She knelt next to him. She began pulling her shirt off.
"Why are you stripping?" He asked.
"I'm wearing a shirt under it, plus might as well use the sleeves to make pressure, I'm going to ruin it anyways."
"I'm glad, come before fashion."
"I'm glad that something like that didn't take you out." Miley while tightening the sleeves. "Is that to tight?"
Stein laughed then wished he hadn't. "Please, I've done more damage to myself then this."
"Alright, I'm not going ask." She helped him up. "You should have that looked at." She put his arm around her shoulders. It was rather awkward because he was much taller than she was.
"No I'll just go home. I can patch it up myself. Like I said I've done worse."
"Alright which way was that?" She asked. Stein raise and eyebrow at her.
"Shouldn't you be heading home it's late."
"You really think I'm letting you walk alone when you are bleeding heavily from your shoulder? You can still pass out from blood loss. I just want to make sure you make it to your door without falling over."
"That's kind Miley but unnecessary. Plus you don't want to see my home it will give you nightmares."
"I think I'll be able to deal with them. I think me being covered in someone's blood is worse. Plus it can't be that bad."
It took a grueling twenty minutes to get there. Stein began to get dizzy about half way there. When the finally arrived at Stein's house he was almost all dead weight. She rang the door bell and Marie answered. She stared at the strange scene in front of her. "What happened, is Franken okay?
"Well it's a long story." Miley muttered her knees where starting to give out. "But could we get him inside first."
"Oh sure." Marie lay Stein on the couch. Miley was unsure what to do now. She hovered around the door wondering if she should just head home. Marie came to the rescue. "Why don't you have a seat I'll make you a cup of tea. How do you take it?"
"Two sugars and milk please." Miley had forgotten that the two teachers lived to together. "What about Professor Stein?" Miley asked.
"Don't worry about Franken, it will take more than that to keep him down. Just sit down." Marie said her usual cheery smile. If she was upset Miley couldn't tell. Miley knew if her partner showed up like that she would freak out. But then again her partner would never been like Stein or at least she hoped not. The last thing that this world needed was another Stein.
Stein started to stir and then he sat up straight. He looked rather confused. "Do you have my glasses?"
Miley thought it was strange of him to ask that. She shook her head. She wasn't really sure what to say. She just sat there fighting the urge to leave. Marie came back with the tea and handed a cup to Miley. When she took a sip she found her tea to be coffee... Stein slowly got up and headed toward the lab.
"Why don't you tell me what happened?" Marie said smiling. Miley began to explain what happened. Marie covered her mouth when Miley told her about releasing the witch's soul protect.
After she finished her story and her drink, Miley headed home. She grabbed the picture and told the story all over again. She fell sleep with it in her arms again."Mom, Dad, are you proud of me?" She muttered to the pillows as she fell asleep.
Miley sat waiting for Stein to arrive. He never Sid came in and told her she was wanted in the Death Room. Miley wondered why but headed there. She arrive to find Stein and Marie there. Stein's arm looked normal. It looked like nothing had happened the night before. She wondered if Lord Death wanted to hear her account of what happened.
"Ahh ,Meister Miley, welcome thank you for coming so quickly." The Death God said. Miley felt rather uneasy she never been in here before. "I believe that you have not been on a mission yet correct."
"Yes, sir I don't have a weapon partner to do them." She said calmly, mentally she was wondering if she in trouble.
"Of course that would put a damper on anyone's plan. But I think you should go and maybe watch what a team does. You will go with Professor Stein and Miss Marie to Paris. Just watch what they do, and don't worry, with some people it takes awhile to find a partner."
"Yes sir," Miley said, she was going to Pairs? For lessons mind but Pairs? And she was going with Stein? Miley had a really bad feeling about this trip. Little did Miley know that this trip was going to be the best thing that happened to her.
Alright finally got Miley to Pairs, its where I've been trying to get to. Stupid plot line taking to long! Alright same as always let me know what you think! Shout out to reviews of chapter 7: AkatsukiAgent9, Aku12, and Draco Oblivion
