XxxAutumnBlissxxX: HEY YOU PEOPLE! I felt bad about disappearing for so long, so here is a quick update! Soul got pretty jealous, didn't he? He's just too cool to admit it….

Here's a quick over view of the purpose of this chapter: In this one, I'm mainly focusing on introducing the other characters!…. Yeah, that's pretty much it. You'll see more soon!

Soul hurried out the door, and rushed down the street. He wanted this girl. He wanted her now. She's plagued his thoughts and dreams for a month now, and he was losing what sanity he had left. He was going to get her. He was going to get her today.

Or so he thought, until he ran straight into someone with the most obnoxious blue hair Soul had ever seen in his life.

"YOU DARE RUN INTO YOUR GOD?!"

She hurriedly rushed through her apartment, desperate to be ready on time. One look over in the mirror told her she was nearly ready. Quickly, she began to put her hair in her signature pigtails.

Please, oh please, don't let me be late for Kid…

Soul raised his hands in a defensive manner, eyebrows shooting up his forehead in surprise. "Whoa, dude, chill. Freaking out isn't cool."

"I AM CHILL! AND FAR COOLER THAN YOU!" the blue haired guy proclaimed, flailing his arms. His companion, a tall, pretty girl with dark hair, flushed in embarrassment.

She just finished with her hair when a knock on the door rang through the apartment. She raced to the door, and flung it open.

"Blair! I'm leaving now!" she called over her shoulder as she shut the door. She looked up at the two girls in front of her and smiled.

"Hey Liz, Patty!"

Soul couldn't find a way around the flailing form in front of him, the annoying guy blocking every step he took. Soul sighed, annoyed. He was losing time, and certainly this idiot wasn't helping him. The dark haired girl then spoke up.

"Don't be rude, Black*Star!"

"IF ANYONE IS RUDE IT'S THIS PUNK, TSUBAKI! I'LL TEAR HIM TO PIECES, I'LL- hey, where'd he go? COME BACK, AND APOLOGIZE TO YOUR GOD!"

But Soul was long gone.

She bounded down the steps, her friends in tow. Once stepping outside, she immediately saw him.

Those eyes, she thought, entranced, as his golden eyes fell on her. A gleaming smile took over his features, and she couldn't help but smile back.

"Kid, it's good to see you again!" she chirped.

"You as well," he replied calmly, that smile never leaving his face.

Soul ran around a corner, and her apartment came into view. But what he saw made him stop in his tracks. She was leaving. With him. Soul cursed under his breath.

He was too late. Looks like he wouldn't be getting her today.

She was climbing into a black car, followed by two blondes; all the while he held open the door, like some gentleman. Soul growled deep in his throat. He hated losing.

But then, something fluttered out of her bag unnoticed by all, and rested on the ground even as they drove away. The minute they were out of sight, Soul took his chance and raced over, grabbing the paper off the ground. After a quick look over, Soul nearly laughed out loud at his own luck.

A masquerade ball, tonight, at some guys mansion. It wasn't hard for Soul to figure out the guy was him. Soul pocketed the paper, and happily headed home.

He never lost the game, and he certain wasn't going to lose now.

She fidgeted in the car, never really comfortable with the thought of going to a ball. Kid, noticing his girlfriend's uneasiness, put his arm around her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

"It's just a party, Maka. No need to fret," he reassured her, smiling gently.

Maka nodded, still not content with the idea, but none the less excited. She leaned against Kid, and looked out the window.

Just a party….. What could go wrong?

Whoa, looks like Soul's going to crash the party! Bad demon, bad… Hmm, wonder what will happen? Well, I know, and Soul knows *wink wink nudge nudge*, but you're just going to have to wait! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Anyway, REVIEW! Please? Makes me feel better. Pleeeaaase? I'll update sooner! The notifications remind me….
