Chapter Sixteen
Soul
She looked back at me after thinking about something, then sighed.
" how about we watch a movie or something?" Maybe it will take our minds off what... Uh... Happened... Earlier..."
I looked at the ground, ashamed at my moment of weakness, and muttered a 'sure'. She told me I could pick it out. So, I went through the movies we had, but there was nothing we haven't seen, so I searched around on the tv, until I found a horror movie. 'Me... Maka... Scary movie... Maka getting scared and me being there for her... Cool... Right?'
"How about this one?" I gestured to the screen. She rolled her eyes, but nodded. I started the movie,then fixed my position: kicked back, and put a 'cool' look on my face. She glanced at me, looked away... Sadly? then leaned on my side. Her touch sent shivers up my spine. She felt it.
"Are you cold?"
"Erm..."
She didn't wait for an answer, just threw a blanket over both of us and cuddled up to to me more. I was having a pretty hard time paying attention to the tv for about five minutes, but snapped out of it. Then, I focused on it, and eventually started paying attention. It started to get really freaky, with people dying out of no where. Maka didn't even flinch, though.
Suddenly, the freakiest part came on, and it scared the cool right out of me. Maka sat there bored to death as I jumped 29 feet into the air and yelped. ' great. Now the whole scary movie with a girl thing has been flipped around. IM the scared little girl. Dammit.' She stared at me after I calmed down, my face red as a tomato.
"Um... Are you ok?!" She had real concern on her face, before she realized what happened. She looked away, obviously trying to hide a laugh. After a few moments, she turned back to me, fighting a grin, and quietly reassured me, "It WAS pretty freaky... I just... Erm... Wasn't paying a lot of attention at the moment..." She looked down, knowing I could see straight through her little lie...
"It's alright... Uh... I guess I would have laughed at me too..." I wasn't looking at her directly, but I saw her head turn back in my direction. I glanced at her, and she immediately started laughing at my expression.
She gave me a light punch on the shoulder "Ok so I guess it won't hurt your feelings if I day that was REALLY funny..." She couldn't hold it in anymore and sat there laughing for, like, an hour... Eventually I started joining in... I can imagine what it looked like and if it happened to Black*Star, I would be laughing my butt off right now...
She calmed down and regained her self control. "So I guess the movie is out of the question... Why don't we find something else to do?"
"Like what?"
She thought about it for a minute, but then shrugged "I dunno... You pick..."
I sighed and said sarcastically, "How about hide and seek?"
"That's actually not a bad idea..." She gave me a devious look, then made me jump again when out of nowhere she yelled "YOU'RE IT!" And jumped off the couch. "Count to thirty!"
"You're making me feel like I'm five..." I moaned.
She fake pouted 'oh... I guess it's supposed to be like that...'
"FINE! Whatever..." I rolled my eyes and started counting.
She glared at me then barked "first of all, stop being the Jerk, and second of all, CLOSE YOUR EYES!" She threw the blanket over my head and told me to start counting.
"Stop being the what?!" I had no idea what she- 'ooohhhh... She must mean the mask thing...great she knows its just a little disguise... Great...' "Sorry and ok... 30, 29, 28..." All I heard after that was silence. All except for my slow counting. It was starting to freak me out by the time I got to 20. Eventually, I got down to 10. This didn't feel like 30 seconds, it felt like an hour... I finally finished... "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! Ready for pot... Wait... What are you supposed to say?! Whatever I'm gonna find you. Now." 'God this game is stupid...' I took the blanket off my head and began searching the family room: behind the couch, behind the tv, in the coat closet, nothing. I went to the family room and searched: behind the other couch, under the pool table, even out the back door, nothing. I went into her room:nothing. My room: nothing. Laundry room: nothing. Basement: nothing. I had searched everywhere and she was nowhere. Now I was getting really freaked out.
"Um... Maka?" Nothing. I searched the whole house again: nothing. Too much nothing. Nothing. Nothing. It was echoing inside my head, driving me so crazy I was wildly running around, checking everything. By everything, I mean EVERYTHING. I even checked under the rugs... What? I was going crazy... I looked in her drawers, my drawers, the closets. She was gone. "M-Maka!?" I was panicking. 'Did she not want to live with me anymore, so she created a diversion to get out of the house? Did she get kidnapped while she was trying to find a place to hide? Did a giant wolf jump through the window, eat her till there was nothing left, and then jump back out the window?!' My thoughts got even crazier than that as I dashed back into the living room for the fifth time. Nothing.
'She's gone.'
...
'So is my life.'
