I don't own soul eater

Chapter 21

A Few Sparring Matches

The danger of clashing resonance?

Miley took a deep breath. She never thought wind would feel so good. Stein kept Miley in the Dispensary for five days. She understood that her legs needed looking after but they where fully healed. Stein hadn't seemed worried about the liquid she had fallen into or he would have held Mason as well. She had to let him do her vitals twice and promise that if she felt anything out of the ordinary she was to go to him. Mason brought her out of her thoughts by putting his arm around her. They where waiting for the others. Miley was glad to get out for awhile.

She glanced sideways at Mason. She still didn't know if she was in love with him. She thought she did, but how much could a fifteen year old know about love? She only knew one thing that life was much better with Mason then without him. She would just have to wait to discover any thing else between her and her weapon. What would be would be.

"So Stein let you out huh?" Asked Soul coming out of the trees with Maka behind him.

"Yeah, and don't ask what I had to do to get him to do that." She said remembering that Stein had barely short of making her promise in writing not to over do it. She sighed at the thought he really need a vacation away from her.

"I bet there was a great deal of begging involved." Kid said while coming to give Miley a hug. He was the only one of the group who hadn't seen her since she came back. "Sorry I wasn't there with the rest, I had to speak to my father about something." She smiled in return.

"Yeah and Stein put the fear of god in me if I get sick. I understand Kid there more things in life then just me. I know that. I don't want anyone to put their life on hold because I fall asleep for a few hours."

"Miles, you didn't really just say that." Mason scolded. She gave her a sharp tap on the side of the head. "No wonder Stein smacks you all of the time, you say stupid stuff like that." He gave another sharp tap. "Do not say that again." Miley rubbed the spot. So like Mason, to keep her in line when Stein couldn't. "We care that why we drop everything and run that's what friends do."

"Yeah, Miley no getting gloomy. Last thing we need is Stein more upset then he already was." Soul pointed out.

"Was he really that upset?" Miley couldn't image Stein showing signs of something bothering him.

"Yeah, but lets get going, we need to get ready for the end of the year!" Maka said trying to change the mood. "Who wants to train!" Everyone cheered even Miley. She was ready to get back into action. Being in bed for five days she was ready for some exercise.

They spent most of the time sparring. They ate lunch, a picnic which apparently was packed by Marie. It was perfect. Miley would have to remember to thank her for it later. After lunch and a group snooze under the trees. Maka and her team practiced team resonance. Miley watched in awe. She would never be able to do this. It didn't matter who she did with. She looked the group in front of her she leaned against Mason. The idea that Black*Star's soul alone could rip her's apart. She was ready to jump into the fray herself. After they rested a bit, Miley asked Chrona to spar.

"Are you sure...Mil..Miley?" The pink haired meister.

"Yeah, I've been lying in bed for five days I really need some exercise."

The demon sword meister smiled and showed that he was ready. Miley turned Mason, who grinned while turning into his weapon form. She spun him around a few times to get a better grip. Chrona held out his hand for Ragnarok. They soon slammed metal against wood. Miley felt her blood start to move. She really did like the feeling. She knew Stein would have wanted her a few days but right now she didn't care.

Stein knew Miley was going to whine and he knew it but he wanted to check on her and Mason. He was needed to keep a close eye one them both. He knew where they were. He flickered between being glad and being annoyed. He watched as Chorna and Miley where locked in a match. He understood the Miley was trying to get back to a daily life but why couldn't she have waited twenty-four hours after getting out. She needed to take it easy.

Miley laughed, she was really having fun. She ducked under Chorna swing. "This is fun! Want to to kick it up a bit?" She had to roll to get out of the way from the sword slash.

"Alright," Chorna said. "If you think it's okay." Miley nodded. Stein realized that what they were going to. He watched at both Meisters started to resonate with their partners. He hadn't thought about that at all. They couldn't make contact he wasn't sure what would happen if they did. He needed to cover the danger of these types of attacks more. He was in between them before any one noticed he was there. He felt Ragnarok split open his skin that didn't bother him though the wound wasn't very deep. It was Miley's attack the was bothering him. His whole arm was shaking not from the force of the blow but the vibrations of energy that coursed though it. Stein wasn't sure but Miley's attack may work on the molecular level. He couldn't prove that just yet though.

"Pro...fessor Stein?" Chorna stuttered. "Where did you come from?" The boy's eyes widened. "You... you.. are bleeding." Stein inspected his hand quickly. It the flow was steady and he quickly added pressure. He wasn't worried. It was very shallow. It would heal after a few days. He heard a tearing noise.

"What was that all about?" Miley asked while holding what looked like a piece of her shirt. She gestured toward his hand He smiled and allowed her to wrap it. It seemed she remembered everything that he taught her not just what he lectured in class. Sure the bandage could have been tighter but it was good enough.

"Don't worry Chorna I'll be fine." He said patting Chrona shoulder with his uninjured hand. "You two shouldn't use resonance while sparring with each other. The effects of the clash maybe more then either of you can handle." Both Meisters stare at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Miley asked. She was really nervous. Not only had he caught her training but also it seemed like her and Chorna may have almost done something bad.

"Both you and Chorna had similar attack styles." He explained. "You both you vibrations, the only attack that can effect weapons in there weapon forms. If you clashed either Mason would have died or Chorna and Ragnarok would have." He knew if he told this group that it would be noted and never repeated. He watch Miley eyes widen. He heard Maka gasp behind him.

"I didn't even think of that!"

"It was avoided. Now it's know so it won't be repeated. Miley, Mason, I would like a word with you please." Both meister and weapon looked at each other. Miley gave a small gulp. She wasn't sure what was about to happen. She wasn't sure what they had done. She felt Mason take her hand in his, his way of showing that he was with her. She loved the way it felt, like puzzle pieces fitting together.

They arrived back at Stein's class room. He sighed. "Alright, I think that enough training for a while. Wait a week before running into the fray again." He said. "We don't know what that solution was or what it could be to you two. We want to be safe, I catch you two training, I'll lock you both in the dispensary."

"I understand, but I think you're worrying to much." Miley sighed she had a feeling she had just jinxed herself.

Alright chapter 21.
