Me: Wow. I'm looking at some of my old writing and have to admit... It sucks... really badly. I've been making stories outside of fan fiction with a hole lot more accuracy and other things. I plan on turning them into real books and comics. A lot has changed since I wrote this story. For one my writing has gotten better (I don't have as much motivation in fan fiction then I do with my actual stories. Also...Arow has changed a lot since this and my other stories. She is still my alter ego and very powerful (but only in my head now. I now create characters who have bits of her powers and create stories off of them. So Arows kind of like a huge idea and my other Oc's are the filters and finalizations. In a way she is like the mom...Which makes since since she is my ego.
I still plan to complete this story and will use the same Arow you currently know. However I wont mention everything about her anymore. There is just too much about her. Seriously I could write a book the size of a dictionary...no exaggeration what so ever.
Anyway...on with the story.
Arow's POV:
It didn't take long for her to wake up. She was used to far worse injuries in the passed, she was just tired and needed rest. She found herself in the same spot she was in when she fell asleep. Looks like people were smart enough to leave her alone while she slept after all. UUUUuuh. So much for that thought. Arow looked to her right to see a certain blue haired ninja sprawled across the floor, groaning, with his hands covering his face.
"Star what are you doing?"
"Uuuh." He moved his hands away from his face as he sat up and revealed a black eye on his left eye. He had a scowl on his face. "I needed to talk to you but when I came to wake you up you punched me in the FACE!" he pointed at his eye for enfaces.
"Seriously who hits that hard in there sleep...and know were to hit. Man, I thought I was seeing stars..." He was mumbling to himself and Arow couldn't help but over hear. She giggled slightly.
"Serves you right for trying to wake me up. You know I don't play nice when I'm sleep."
"Yeah well you don't play nice at all." Star said with a scowl as he covered his eye back up to stop her from laughing at him.
"True but neither do you. So. What was so important that you had to risk getting your butt kicked by me?"
"Important enough." Black Stars lack of retaliation got her attention. She knew this guy well enough to know that when Star acted this way he was serious. Especially when he doesn't retaliate after getting a sting on his ego.
"Alright, I'm listening."
"Soul." She waited for him to expain further. She looked around as though she expected the rest of his oh so important message to pop out of no were.
"What about him?" She finally said after realizing he wasn't going to explain further.
"We are tired of him."
What do you mean...we."
"Everyone on this ship Arow. I know you are getting frustrated too."
"I'm always frustrated with him in most cases. But your going to need to explain more. Are you getting tired that he has authority over you or something?" Star shook his head violently as he realized her misunderstanding.
"No no, he is a great captain and all. Especially after the incident. Its the whole Maka thing." That's when it clicked...man did she feel stupid. "His feelings and stubbornness is getting in the way of his decision making. Not only that but he is hurting himself and others emotionally."
"Your right Star... Wow didn't think that would come out of my mouth anytime soon." She shook her head as she sat wide eyed and looked at Black Star.
"I can be awesome like that when I wanna be." He gave her a cheeky grin. She returned the smile. No matter his antics he still had a genuine heart and cared deeply for his friends. She admired him for it. In a way she admired all her friends.
"So here's the plan." Her smile vanished when he returned to his excitable self. He had a twinkle in his eyes. Oh boy. He noticed too.
"Don't worry. All the crew worked on the plan while you were asleep. Soul was too busy sulking in his office to notice. Anyway. The plan is to get Soul and Maka back together again." Once again she waited for a better explanation.
"Is that it."
"Well yeah. Pretty much."
"You...as in every member of the crew thought out that plan together."
"Yup."
"Oh God." She rested her head on the wall behind her in exasperation. She sighed and looked at Black Star again.
"alright, I'll help. I got a plan for tomorrow. Get Tsubaki to...
Soul's POV:
He gently caressed her face and feathered his fingers over her soft lips. Her arms were raped around his neck, drawing him closer too her. Her back rested on the wall that kept their secrets safe. He rested his forehead on hers. Her long lashes dusted his nose as she blinked before gazing lovingly into his eyes. He returned the gaze with ease. He held her in his hands and lightly pulled her head to the angle he wanted. He kissed her. Softly, gently, like if he kissed any other way she would break. She however, disagreed with his thoughts and pulled him closer too her, deepening the kiss. Her hands were in his white fluffy hair. She whispered his name every time they came up for breath and he retaliated by saying hers.
He kissed her down her jaw line and then down to her neck. He rested his head there.
I love her
I love her
I love her
He went back up to meet her face and kissed her passionately on the lips.
"I love you." He spoke to her as he touched foreheads again.
"I...I.." She stiffened. Soul noticed. He panicked, he always told her he loved her, she always said it back. What's happening.
"M-" He looked up to see terrified green eyes staring back at him. She pushed him away from her and pressed herself against the wall. He reached for her but she only pressed herself harder against the wall. She looked like an animal desperately trying to escape a predator.
"Ma-"
"Who are you?!" Something in his heart felt like it went missing then. Like something had been torn out and replaced with a void. He began to hear laughter and looked to the girl only to see her shaking from the sudden bellow of laughter. He wanted to comfort her but when he drew near she only looked more afraid.
"Don't you just love this!" A Female voice rang out. "The sadness. The pain. Oh how terrible it must be to not have you one true love even recognize you." The voice turned wicked at the end of her sentence.
"Oh and lets not forget. It was all. Your. Fault." A copy of the shaking girl manifested itself with those words, only she had soulless eyes and a wicked grin. She stepped up to him and pressed her hands against his chest. He couldn't move. She moved her hands, feeling up his chest and outlining the place were the scar rests under his shirt. Her gaze shifted from his chest to his eyes. Her face showed a mix of emotions ranging from sad to conniving.
"Looks like you didn't save me this time...Why...I thought you would always be there for me. Guide me. Protect me...Love me." She turned and walked away. Towards the trembling copy.
"Maka! That's not true. I... I-"
"Oh? Then what is this." She snatched the trembling Maka's wrist and pushed her towards Soul. "This is what you have reduced us too. Its your fault. Your FAULT! YOUR FAUL-" Her screams were cut short. Soul had his eyes shut and he pressed his ears shut but could still hear her screams, so when she stopped, he looked up. His eyes widened.
What looked like five blades were coming out of the soulless eyed Maka. She choked on blood that was slowly dribbling out of her mouth and yelped when the blades retracted from her being. She fell and revealed the culprit. Now able to see them clearly the blades were actually thick, sharp, knife like claws that attached to a Long black and scaly arm. It shared a twin on the other side of the body it was attached to. The body was feminine but the face looked feral and a mix between canine, feline, and human. The Creature had long wild white hair and her face betrayed her scary look. It held a mix of annoyance, boredom, and mischief.
"You keep staring I'll gouge them out." She stalked off towards the trembling Maka as soon as she made sure the other was not going to get back up and raised her sharp claws over her head. The girl beneath her widened her eyes. Soul noticed they were not as vibrant as before.
"Wait! Arow! Stop! What are you doing-" She slashed down at the trembling girl before he could stop her. The girl beneath the Dragon armed Arow stopped moving instantly. Her claws were bloody and she examined them before flicking the blood away. She walked over to soul and straightened her claws and pressed them together as she drew closer to him making them look like the sharp point of a spear head. She moved in front of him and leaned into his ear. He wouldn't move. Couldn't move.
"Soul." She pierced him through his chest, claws revealed themselves through his back. Still in the dame position. He felt no pain. "This is just a dream. Its time you wake up."
He gasped and pushed himself dream, that same dream again. How many times must that stupid dream haunt him.
"Bout time you woke up." He jumped and turned in his bed to see Arow siting on top his bed rest with her arms crossed looking down on him like it was the most natural thing to do.
"Oh God don't do that."
"I wouldn't have to if you would just stop having those dreams. How long are you going to let it control you. Its no wonder your so scared about letting Maka on the ship. Your scared you'll let her down again."
"Wooo you found me out."
"I'm being serious. That fear of yours is stupid-"
"No its not-"
"You really are stupid. You haven't disappointed her...ever. Have you forgotten what she told you before her memories completely disappeared?"
"Of course I have!"
"Obviously not." She got off the bed rest and landed on the floor before turning to face him.
"She said 'Soul, before my memories are completely gone I just need you to know that I-
"SHUT UP AROW!-"
"Don't blame you for any of this and will always love you' She knew you would blame yourself for what happened. But it was not your fault!"
"I PROMISED TO PROTECT HER!"
"SO DID I!" Arow was getting annoyed and her come demeanor was unravelling." IF YOUR AT FAULT THEN SO AM I. AND SO IS THE REST OF THE CREW ON THIS SHIP BECAUSE WE ALL PROMISED TO PROTECT HER! WE PROMISED TO PROTECT EACH OTHER!" Soul stiffened.
"Your not the only one who is hurting and feels at fault so stop taking the burden alone. I know how that feels...It sucks."
"..."
"You know what." Arow changed the subject. "Why don't you go and cool down at the spring sauna tomorrow. You could use a little rest."
Soul looked at her and sighed.
"Yeah sure... Why not."
"Cool. Night."
"Arow wait."
"Oh no, I am not holding your hand while you go to sleep."
"What no. I needed to talk to you about something. I was going to tell you when you woke up but then this whole mess started." He got up and lead her to his office room. He filled through the papers on his desk when he came upon what he was looking for and tossed it to her. She caught the file and opened the folder.
"You noticed it to right? The monsters aboard Medusa's ship. She seems to have gained full control over those beasts and has even started reeking havoc on nearby shore and any land she comes across. She's looking for something but I don't know what. Death wants us to look into how she is controlling the Kishin and what she could possibly be looking for."
"Alright, but what do you want me to do?"
"I need you to go aboard her ship and investigate, become a spy. She hasn't seen your face before, only your wolf form."
"But she wont trust a human so easily either."
"Then use your dragon form, not only will you be dressed to impress but you will look strong and be strong to her. She wont try to pass up a chance of having you in her army."
"Right. That makes since. Alright. I will leave tomorrow afternoon."
"Why so late?"
"Cause you kept me up all night and I'm tired. Good night."
"Alright. What ever."
"Don't let the Maka clones bight!" She closed the door before he could retort.
"What ever."
