If you would like to give a suggestion for future chapters, or something, sling me a message on here. I'd love to hear from you! Enjoy!)
Maka slept restlessly, with images of failure plaguing her dreams. She tossed and turned, muttering in her sleep.
" S-s soul NO!" Maka is jolted awake and almost forgets where she is for a moment. She jerks back and forth trying to regain her surroundings. She observes the gentle white walls of the bedroom the beautiful drapes billowing from the open window letting a cool breeze in. She lays back on her bed with a sigh.
"Just a dream… that was the worst one in a while. I need to get a grip."
She rolls off her bed and walks into the attached master bathroom. She walks over to the sink and splashes some cold water on her face, trying to regain her normal poise. She looks up at the mirror gathers herself bends over to get a quick drink from the tap. When she stands straight again, she feels someone grab her and push something against her face. She inhales trying to scream for Soul, and then nothing.
…
Soul groaned and rolled over on the couch.
"I hate me; hangovers are so not cool…"
Soul rolls over trying to fall back asleep when memories from the previous night flow through his mind.
"DAMN IT! I am such an IDIOT! Why did I touch the bar, I must have looked like such a drunk."
Soul jumped off the couch and ran to the master bedroom, regret fueling him.
"MAKA! Maka, I am SO sorry, I never meant…
He looked around in bewilderment taking in the surrounding empty room. The only thing moving were the white drapes billowing over the open window.
"Maka?"
He saw the disheveled sheets, and heard the shower in the master bathroom running. He looked over to the bathroom, and saw steam flowing out the door.
( Maka left the door open while she's showering? Soul thought. Weird.
Being hung over, and desperate to apologize to Maka, common sense didn't enter his brain at all.
He marches straight into the bathroom oblivious to the fact Maka would chop him SO HARD if he walked in on her bathing.
"Maka, I'm sorr-"
He sees a note written on the mirror via the fog.
COME FIND MAKA AT THE ARENA IF YOU VALUE HER SAFETY
Instantly Soul is on alert. He needs to talk with Lord Death. He turns to the foggy mirror so he could dial.
What was that rhyme again? DAMN IT! Think…THINK!...YES!
Despite the grave situation, Soul celebrated for a moment, before remembering why he needed to speak with Lord Death in the first place, which sobered him immediately.
He goes over the rhyme in his head as he draws the numbers 42-42-564 onto the fogged mirror in his messy scrawl. Soul is impatiently pacing waiting for his call to be answered.
C'mon, C'mon pick up… DAMN IT
When he was finally answered, it wasn't whom he expected at all.
"Death the kid? What the hell dude?"
" My father is still indisposed. What do you want?
Man, this is just great
"Kid, Maka has been kidnapped. I need help to find her!"
"Well, that's too bad. I have every other capable meister, and weapon out on missions."
Soul recoils.
"What? How can you not have any on reserve for reinforcements? Soul replied in disgust. That's terrible strategy, and this is coming from ME."
Death the Kid gets flustered and tries to act big to cover up his embarrassment.
" Don't question me!" Kid retorted. "I am in charge while my father is away, so you will treat me with the same reverence and respect that you give him!"
Wait a sec… how could Lord Death be away? He is freaking TETHERED to the school
Soul is suspicious at this point. He has never known Kid to be anything short of perfect. He wouldn't allow anything less of himself, so why would he let his strategy be imperfect?
" Hey Kid! I gotta question for you." Soul says " How in hell is Lord Death away from the school? He can't leave."
Grrr. I wasn't expecting an idiot like Soul to remember that my father can't leave. I'll need to rectify the situation. This school will be MINE soon enough.
"You don't need to know why my father is unavailable. Reaper business is above you. You will have to make do with what you have. Don't call again unless your Mission is complete. Get it done."
What the hell is up with Kid? The way he's acting is nothing like normal. All of this is suspicious, but I need to save Maka. I can't lose my Meister. I can't lose Maka.
