I do not own soul eater.

Rise of the Staff Meister

Chapter 12:

Medusa Appears:

How Much Does Miley not know?

Miley and Mason had been partners for about eight months. They where still having trouble with soul resonance they could only call the Earth shaker move half the time. They we're practicing every day after school and Miley still passed every time no matter if they failed or succeeded. Miley was getting frustrated and blaming herself for what was happening. Miley was wondering if she would ever be able to be normal like her classmates.

One day after class a boy made a commit about Miley, she didn't even hear what it had been. The only thing she knew was Mason had been next to her then he was gone. The was now an all brawl on the floor in front of her. "Mason knock it off, what is wrong with you?" She had never seen him act like that. Mason was never fight now ask questions later kind of person. She wondered what the boy had said to make Mason act like that.

Well one lecture later, Mason and the other boys had landed two weeks in detention. Miley thought that was weird. Students at the DWMA rarely got detention, because fights where encouraged as long as they where supervised. Miley knew that it was decided and not to argue. She just would have to work somehow making her soul stronger.

Miley spent a few hours in the library she couldn't find anything on what she was looking. She gave up and headed toward her favorite spot. She didn't want to go home. She sighed, they had lost a whole day of training. They would lose a two hole weeks of training. She wondered why Mason went off like that. She would have to ask him about it later.

"Do you ever go home right after school?" Came the sarcastic remark from behind her. She leaned her head back to look at her Professor. "Where is Mason, you two really should take it easy at least once a week." He told her taking out a cigarette.

"Well, we're taking a two week break now. Not that we really want to."

"Why? That doesn't seem like you. You work yourself till you can't get back up again." He pointed out after taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Mason has detention. He started a down right brawl in the middle of the hallway on my account."

"Really, it takes a great deal of effort to get detention here. You and your partner keep topping yourselves."

"I'm not sure if that was insult or not." She said, it was weird most people didn't like even being near Stein, but Miley found the strange professor's prescience comforting some how. Maybe it had to do with he seemed to actually listen to what she had to say. Though most of Miley's childhood, she wasn't really heard. She wondered if Stein did this with other students, like Maka and others.

Stein felt the hair rise on the back of his neck. The feeling of dread that came into his heart. In fluid motion he had pulled Miley behind him. Stein knew who it was before she had appeared. Soon Medusa was in his sights. Her soul protect was on but it didn't stop Stein from feeling her. He had been fearing this since Free tired to kidnap Miley. Medusa was alive.

"My oh my, Stein, you went taken to me but you'll spend time alone with a student. Not setting a good example are you. Aren't you going to introduce us, I don't know her. She must be knew to the academy."

"Miley stay behind me." Stein ordered. He didn't think she would have any problems with that.

"Miley, oh you are the one, Free has the crush on." At the mention of immortal Miley sneaked an glance over at the witch that has Stein so upset. Medusa smiled at her. "Well no wonder you are a lovely one. I wonder how you'll keep the boys off you when you are older. You won't have to worry about love."

"What do you want?" Stein demanded. "The Kishin what more could you want from here?"

"You know, what I want Stein. But I see that you haven't really decided on what to do next so I'll leave you be for now."

"Miley," Stein said calmly. He thought where this might be heading. He turned to see Miley was shaking from head to foot. She was scared out of her mind. "It's safe now,"

"Is it really? When she is still on the lose. I didn't need to see her soul. I don't think I want to." Stein couldn't blame her for being afraid. Fear was good, if she knew fear, she wouldn't just chase after something without thinking. After Miley got over her shock Stein turned business.

"No, hanging around after school. With Mason in detention find someone to hang out with do no go home alone. You got that Miley." Miley nodded and looked away from him. Stein couldn't understand why she had looked away. He question was soon answered by sniffing noise he heard as she walked away. On top of everything thing else that happened today. He had made her cry.

Miley caught up with Maka the next morning. Maka agreed to let Miley hang out after school. Miley was thankful for that, she didn't want to think what Stein would do to if he found out she hadn't done as she was told. He was so serious yesterday. After school Miley, Maka, Soul, and Chrona headed toward Maka and Soul's apartment.

"Sorry to jump right at school. I just wasn't suppose to go home alone." Miley taking a cup of tea from Maka.

"Why, had break ins lately or something?" Soul asked.

"Well no, yesterday Professor Stein and I ran into a person named Medusa." How the rest of the room reacted made Miley wondered what she had missed. Maka dropped the tea she was handing to Chrona, Soul let out a long list of swears some Miley hadn't even heard of, and Chrona tucked his knees up to his chest.

"She's alive I don't think I can deal with that!" The shy pinked hair boy said. Maka sat next to him rubbing his back.

"I'm sorry, should I have not mentioned that. I didn't know it would upset Chrona I'm really sorry." Miley said rather confused looking from person to person.

"No, it's alright. You couldn't have known. Medusa was the one who caused most the trouble last year." Maka told Miley most of what happened last year expect the part where Medusa was Chrona's mother. If Chrona wanted to tell Miley that, it was his business. Miley sat there in shock, when she found out Stein went crazy.

"Wow, I never would have guessed any of that. No wonder he was so upset. I mean Professor Stein seemed really freaked out. Though he seemed to know she was coming, I was behind him before she came in to view." There was a knock on the door, it was Mason coming to pick her up.

"Miley wait a second." Chrona the only word Miley had for it was whimpered. "There's one other thing you need to know. Miley walk over to Chrona and placed a hand on his shoulder. Whatever he needed to say was going to hurt him she could tell. "Medusa is my mother." Miley felt her jaw drop. She really didn't know how to take that bit of information.
