The girls are goung on a mission! yey!

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul eater

"Ready?" Maka asked, receiving back a bunch of blurred 'yes' and 'yea'. She sighed and picked up the bag. It will be extremely uncomfortable to carry it by hand, but it she would have putted it on her back her winds would rip it. Blair summoned some pumpkins for Patty and Liz. Kim jumped on Jacklin with ease.

"Orev is supposed to roam around Las Vegas. Her aim is Death City and DWMA, and that is exactly why we must stop her. She is a raven type witch and known to use a lot of tricks. Clear?" The other girls nodded at their leader.

Maka closed her eyes. Why was she so eager to go on that mission? They still had time before they were supposed to go. It might have had something to do with yesterday, her fight with Kid, and..

After the fight she ran to her old apartment, to Soul.

...

/Last night, the good old place/

Maka knocked on the apartment door. Tears flooded her eyes. So pathetic, she thought, but right now she had a right to be pathetic. It wasn't long before Soul opened the door, in his boxers. "Well I would have dressed better but I heard crying so I rushed to ya." He felt a little awkward, but that was no time for him to be selfish.

"Maka? What's wrong?" He led her to the couch, now stinking of Liz's perfume. Maka pulled her nose as he wrapped her in an old blanket. "H- He b-broke, Kid-d" Her crying intensified. "What did he do?" Soul asked, looking like a protective older brother. "Wait a minute I'll make you hot chocolate." Soul said suddenly. Maka followed him with her eyes. His scar... he got it while protecting her. Soul was always there.

Maka tightened her grip over the blanket and blew her nose with a tissue from the box Soul brought. "With marshmallows!" Soul called with a smile as he handed her the hot chocolate. "He always bought these smaller marshmallows so he could fit in exactly eight." Maka smiled, before bursting out in tears again. "No matter how I much he changed, he still obsessed the smallest details!" Soul looked at her with pity. "Don't tell me," He exhaled as he realized. "He did not! That son of a bitch!" Maka frowned at his cas. "Don't you dare call him names!" She shouted. "He is the most amazing gentleman I have ever met. My fault for being such a turd, but I can't go back now, can I?" Maka dropped on her back on the couch. Soul looked at her, confused.

"If I were him, I would have never left you, no matter what. You are worth that much!" Soul determined. "But, the thing is, he only did it to protect me." She sniffled. Her eyes were just now starting to dry. "Because I'm not a shinigami, I'm not strong enough to be with him." Soul frowned. "That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Who beat the kishin? You did. Who is the leader of the team? You are. Who is the best in her class? You are. Student with the best soul perception? You. Not Kid. You are much stronger than him, Maka." Maka smiled at him. "Thank you, Soul. I wish it was that simple." She was surprised to feel his hands wrap around her in a hug. "You are going to show this fucker just how strong you are, bring him the head of that witch, no problem." Maka nodded slowly as she melted into his nurturing hug. He was so warm... She quickly separated from him. "I need to be alone for a while. Can I stay the night?" Soul nodded and left for his room. I finished my hot chocolate and laid on the couch, slowly falling asleep.

...

/Las Vegas, the day after/

"Ladies, welcome to Las Vegas." Maka scanned the view with wide eyes. The girls landed on the top of a huge hotel. "Look! Its Eiffel tower!" Patty called. "No, Patty, that's Paris." Liz answered. "She's right, nya-" Blair said with a sparkle in her eyes. "Idiots." Kim shook her head. "There is a replica of the Eiffel in Las Vegas." Jacklin explained. Maka remained silent as she sat down at the edge of the building. "O- Oi, Maka, aren't you afraid? From that height-" Liz muttered. "I can fly now." Maka reminded her. "I should get used to it." Her eyes travelled to a small crow that landed beside her. Such elegant creatures, she thought. Suddenly it flew away.

"What is a flock of ravens called, ma'am?" Maka raised her head. A young girl, with hair the color of night was sitting next to her "W-who are you?" Kim grabbed Jacklin's hand and signaled her to transform. "Oh, right, unkindness. She told me so." Maka hurried to get away from the girl. "Answer!" She called. "Then, I shall show you my unkindness, pretty birds." The girl whispered before swinging herself off the building. The girls got into fighting positions, Patty transforming into Liz's hand. "Who was she?" She asked. Kim nodded. "I don't like this." Liz stated, hands shaking. "Me neither." Maka replied. Blair hissed and turned to her right.

"Kim!" Maka called and jumped away, opening her wings in the process. "Ugh!" Kim shouted as she swung Jacklin in defense, too slow. The throwing blade zoomed past her, cutting her right shoulder. She hissed and dropped Jacklin. The throwing blade continued to fly back to the way it came from. "Pretty, aren't they? Untie Medusa made them for me. They are shaped like a feather, only stronger, sharp around the edges. She taught me how to control them, like she did with her vector arrows." Maka glared up at the girl. Her messy raven black hair covered her eyes, in a way that got Maka wondering how could she aim at them at all. Her body was slim and pale, and her dress was made of black feathers. So was her scarf. She didn't wear shoes, but that didn't seem to be a problem to her, obviously- seeing as behind her were spread two huge black raven wings. Blair looked stressed by the small girl for some reason. "I'll take her someplace safe." Jacklin said. "but-" Kim objected. "You can't handle me right now, you have to heal yourself." The girl raised her head, letting the hair fall to the side and reveal two jet black round eyes and a tiny nose. Her mouth was small and shaped like a beak.

"How unusual, a raccoon, I will kill you first. Are you all from shibusen?" The girl's voice was hoarse and quiet, but her words made their way to the girls. "Orev! She's the witch we're after!" Maka called, growing blades out of her hands. Liz shot in the air. "Ven raven, row crow, crow." Orev whispered while swinging her wing to stop the bullets, which only sprinkled off it. In her hand she held the scarf, ripping it off to allow a shower of feather blades to be shot at Kim and Jacklin. Jacklin tried to jump and cover Kim, but failed. The two fell down, injured and barely conscious. "Kim! Jacklin!" Liz shouted. "Get your ass back to the fight!" Patty threatened. It is no time to worry about them. "Pum-pkin pumpkin, Halloween cannon!" Blair called, shooting bombs in union with Liz and Patty. 'Damn it! I can't fly to her with them shooting.' Maka thought.

"I guess you are." The girl now known to be Orev continued to herself as if they weren't there. "Tell me, how is he, how is Crona?" Blair took a step back, breathing heavily. "That's none of your businesses!" Maka shouted. "How rude." Orev said grumpily, throwing a blade at Maka. "Don't you dare lay a finger on her!" Blair shouted, hitting the shallow side of the blade with her tail and therefore throwing it sideways and away from its target. Maka never saw her like that- the cat lady was always so cheerful and, well, not mature in the slightest. She never showed any sign of liking Maka either, so why was she so protective over her?

"She seems to be very dear to you." Orev whispered. "I can't let her die, she..." Blair breathed heavily. Suddenly it all clicked. Blair wasn't there for her because she was told to, for Soul or for Spirit -as much as Maka wanted to deny the cat's relationship with her father- she protected her to prove a point. "She is fighting to prove herself to him!" Blair called. Last night, at the apartment, she must have heard them. "If she doesn't kill you, then there's no point to it all. Nya-" She smiled. "A lover? Does he cherish you? Does he say sweet things in your ear? I wonder." Orev blushed slightly. Liz continued shooting. "That's right! Kid loves Maka with all his heart!" She declared. Maka's vision blurred.

"I always wanted to have a guy. All of the puppets I attracted were so dull, I am looking for something greater, like aunt Arachne. She fell for the kishin himself." Orev let herself her curried away in fantasies. "Don't space out while we're fighting!" Patty shouted as Blair flew and Kicked Orev in her stomach. Orev screamed in pain, making a doing similar to the call of the crow. She moved in supernatural speed, catching Blair by the skin behind her neck and tossing her forcefully in the air. Blair crashed back down, unconscious. "Blair! Maka screamed. Liz turned backwards to look at Blair with fear in her eyes. That was all Orev needed. "Ven raven, row crow, crow." She called. It was almost like a dream. Liz turned back right on time to be hit with a flying blade. She fell to the ground.

"Liz!" Maka shouted. She flew up, diving to Orev and cutting the air with her blades. "Hand on battle? I'm in." Orev muttered, opening her wings to uncover her hands. Her nails were long and sharp and her hands were covered with sharp feathers. All in all, she was a strong enemy. Maka hit the air again and again, messing up in her flight sense as she was still new to it. She lost balance and fell to the ground. In the process her shirt lifted a little to reveal the ring she tied around her neck.

"Ohhh shiny!" Orev called in excitement, diving and snatching Maka by the neck, her other hand trying to pull and get a better view on the ring. "Did your lover give you this?" She asked. Maka fought in her hold. "Don't touch it!" She cried. The witch's eyes glittered as she saw the skull. "Oh my." She whispered. That made things a lot more fun, for her at least. She took a better look at Maka's face.

"That's odd, you aren't even that pretty." She muttered. "Oh, oh yes. I bet I can use you. Better, I can use both of you! That is so lucky!" Maka's eyes widened. "Don't you dare-" she exhaled. Orev spread her wings, releasing thousands of ravens to the air. They Surrounded Maka, drowning her in blackness. "M-aka," Liz called in distress. "Still alive?" Orev hummed, throwing a blade at her. Liz closed her eyes, waiting for the pain that didn't came. Instead she heard a soft thump of a body landing beside her. "It hurts." Patty whispered. "PATTY!" Liz screamed. "So long, then." Orev waved and flew away, taking Maka with her.

Well that was unexpected. Let me ease your pain and tell you they are all alive, okey? not for long, but right now.. Muhahaha
