Hi! Shadowmistx98 here! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.
The next morning, 10:00 am, Maka got down from the stairs and saw her mother cooking and baking. She stared at her and greeted.
"Morning mom" Maka sat down.
"Oh, good morning, Maka! I've been waiting for you to get up" Kami glanced at her. She got back to where she was cooking.
"Why?"
"I need you to do a favor for me…" Kami closed the stove and handed a paper to Maka.
"Can you please buy me some groceries? I don't want to leave what I'm cooking, the house may burn" Kami asked her as Maka looked at the paper.
"Sure… I'll just get changed…" Maka hurried upstairs. She got down with a backpack. Kami handed the money to Maka.
"I'm off!" Maka headed to the door.
"Take care, honey!" Kami waved goodbye at her. Maka continued to walk at the grocery and bought the things listed in the paper. She walked out of the grocery store carrying 2 plastic bags. She knelt with one knee and placed it inside the backpack she brought.
"Ok… done!" Maka stood up and carried her backpack on one shoulder.
"Maka?" a voice came from her back. Her eyes widened. She knew that voice. That voice was too familiar. She turned her face to the guy and saw him. It was Kid, surprised to see her. Maka's jaw slightly dropped.
"Maka? Is that really you?" he asked again.
"Kid?" Maka breathed nervously.
"It is you! How are you? What are you doing here?" Kid approached her and hugged her tight.
"I-I live in this city…" Maka stuttered as he looked at his dark hair. Kid broke the hug and held both her shoulders.
"I can't believe it! I never thought I'd meet up with you here!" Kid smiled at him.
"Me too" Maka smiled back.
"Are you doing something else?" he asked.
"Uh, no, I was just going home…" Maka answered.
"Mind if you come with me?"
"What?"
"Can you join me for lunch?"
"Lunch?" Maka looked at her watch. It was already quarter to 12. "Time sure passes by quickly…" she thought.
"I don't have anything to do but I'm going ho-" Kid grabbed her hand and pulled her.
"Then let's go!" he smiled.
"Uh, n-no! I shouldn't! It's embarrassing!" Maka pulled back.
"No, I insist" Kid paused. "Please?" Kid looked at her. Maka sighed.
"Fine…" she sighed in defeat. Kid smiled at her. Together they went to a fast food chain. Kid ordered and soon the orders were served to them. Maka was silent the whole time.
"So you live here?" Kid asked again. Maka nodded.
"How about you? Why are you here?" Maka stopped. "Oh yeah, he's one the representatives…"
"I'm one of the representatives of a school dance…" Kid replied as he ate some fries.
"Oh, yeah. Tsubaki told me you were one of them. I study at the school you're going to…" Maka said.
"Really?" Kid's eyes lit up. Maka smiled in response.
"How are you? I was worried when you didn't reply to my last mail" Kid said.
"I'm fine" Maka ate her cheeseburger. "And you?" Maka tried to keep the conversation as natural as possible.
"Fine too… " Kid smiled.
"Maka… about what happened last time… I'm sorry… I'm really sorry…" Kid bowed his head.
"Hey! You don't have to say sorry so many times! That's all in the past! We're ok now!" Maka smiled at him nervously.
"Really? Thanks…" Kid looked at her. Maka returned to her silent state. She fidgeted her hands nervously and Kid notices it.
"Is there something wrong?" Kid asked as Maka looked around.
"I-I don't think we should be doing this…."
"Why not?"
"It's…. really awkward… I mean, you're my… my…" Maka looked away trying to avoid eye contact from him.
"Well, well, well… look who's here!" another familiar voice came from the side of their table. Maka looked up and saw that it was them.
"Darn it" Maka bit her lip.
"Oh, Liz, it's you…" Kid said unenthusiastically. Liz cleared her throat.
"Shouldn't I be the one in your seat, Maka?" Liz raised her eyebrow.
"Liz!" Kid shot at her. "What? I was just saying the truth!" she said.
"It's rude! Maka is my friend and-" Kid was interrupted by Maka who stood up.
"Don't worry, Kid. You're right, Liz. You're the one supposed to be here. I'm about to leave, anyway. I'm off, bye!" Maka left with her bag. Liz took her seat.
"Well, that was smart Liz" Kid eyed her.
"C'mon, Kid, you're my boyfriend! And she's your ex! I repeat that, your ex!" Liz shot back at her.
"She's my friend! You shouldn't have done that!" Kid shouted at her that made her silent. Patty, Caroline, Sasha and Samantha followed Maka and Maka noticed it. She stopped and faced them.
"What do you want?" Maka asked annoyingly.
"We need you to come with us… If you're not scared…" Patty roughly said.
"Bring it on…" Maka silently followed them. Soon they entered an alley.
"So, what now?" Maka asked. She was shocked when Patty slapped her face. Maka didn't move her head.
"You try to snatch Kid away from my sister, you're gonna get more than that from me" Patty said. Maka laughed.
"Is there something funny to laugh about?" Samantha asked.
"I'm just laughing because you are so funny, Patty!" Maka said while laughing.
"Who was the first one to snatch Kid away from me?" Maka asked followed by another slap from Patty to the other side.
"You're sick!" Patty was preparing to slap her again when Maka caught her hand.
"You're sicker!" Maka pushed her. The three caught her as she fell.
"Don't worry, I won't steal your sister's boyfriend… Don't be insecure" Maka walked away.
"Urgh! The nerve! I shouldn't have accepted Kid's invitation!" she ran away. Maka ran and got to a corner. She turned to her left and bumped to someone.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't loo-!" Maka looked at his face.
"Déjà vu, wasn't it?" Soul smiled at her.
"Oh, it's you…"
"What's wrong? It's like you're running away from a ghost" Soul joked. Maka looked away.
"Did something happen?" Soul worriedly asked.
"I don't want you to be burdened again but…. I just need someone to talk to…" Maka looked at him.
"Sure" Soul smiled at her.
"Let's go somewhere else" Soul and Maka went to a bench to sit down, not too far from their previous location. They sat down.
"So, why are you here?" Maka asked.
"Just out for a walk… and you?" Soul smiled at her.
"I just got some groceries…" Maka answered.
"So, what happened?"
"I… came across Kid earlier…" Soul's eyes widened.
"Did he do anything to you?" Soul asked.
"It wasn't him… It was his girlfriend and the others…" Maka bowed her head.
"What did they do?" Soul asked again.
"Her sister slapped me and told me never to steal her sister's girlfriend…" Maka replied to him. Soul slightly chuckled.
"What?" Maka narrowed her eyes to him.
"Nothing, it's just that… The same thing happened to me. Well, almost…" Soul looked at her as she listened to him.
"I confronted Erika's boyfriend, and he said that I will never be fit for her. But when I persisted, he punched me… And I couldn't help but fight back… I almost broke his arm that day, and I got suspended for three days" Soul continued with his story. Maka laughed.
"Well, I almost broke Liz's arm, his girlfriend" Maka said.
"We do have a lot in common, don't you think?" Soul laughed. Maka smiled.
"I'm laughing again…. Whenever I'm with him, I always feel comfortable…" Maka thought.
"So, why aren't you with BlackStar?" Maka changed the subject.
"You know him, he doesn't get up early…" Soul said.
"Isn't your mother looking for you?" Soul asked.
"I already texted her earlier, she said it was ok, she'll need the groceries I bought later" Maka said. Maka looked at her cellphone. It was already drained.
"You sure love your cellphone, huh? You don't fully charge it" Soul laughed.
"Shut up…" Maka shot at him.
"What should we do now? Have a staring contest?" Soul smiled at her.
"Are you challenging me?" Maka eyed him. They both laughed then someone called out Maka's name.
"Maka!" it was Kid running towards her.
"Kid?" Maka's eyes widened and so did Soul's.
"W-what are you doing here?" Maka asked.
"I came looking for you. I was worried. Did Patty do something to you?" Kid asked.
"Uh, no" she lied. Kid's eyes then turned to the white-haired boy beside Maka who was looking at him weirdly. No. More like glaring.
"Uum, excuse me, but…" Kid started at him. Maka looked at him and punched his arm lightly.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm Soul!" Soul snapped back to reality.
"Kid…" he replied to his introduction. Kid turned back to Maka.
"Are you going to do something else?" Kid asked. Maka stood up and stretched her arms.
"Uh, nothing else I guess…" Maka paused. "Unless if Soul's serious about the staring contest" Maka smiled at him.
"I think I'll pass…" Soul smiled back which made Kid a little annoyed.
"I'm going home already" Maka looked at Kid.
"Ok, then… Again, I'm sorry for Liz's rudeness…" Kid apologized as he bowed.
"It's ok" Maka smiled at him weakly. They continued to talk. Soul stood up and buried his hands inside his pocket.
"I guess I better go home now" Maka finally said. Kid smiled at her.
"How about you, Soul?" Maka asked him. Soul looked upward.
"I'll go home too… I guess BlackStar's furious now, not waking him up" Soul laughed.
"Ok, then! Bye Kid!" Maka waved goodbye to him as she and Soul started to walk away.
"Nice meeting you…. Kid…" Soul said as they started walk away from Kid's sight.
"Soul…." He whispered. "Who is he?" he started to think as he held his chin with his right thumb and index finger.
"I never saw Maka talk like that to a boy…. Not ever since we broke up…." Kid glared at him Soul who was walking with Maka.
I seriously don't know what I just wrote here. Well, Kid and the others made an appearance after a long time…. And that was chapter one since their last appearance. I just thought of making the two a little… jealous I guess?
I'm sorry if I made Liz and Patty total… you know what I mean. But this story just needs evil characters. :P But as I said in the earlier chapter (I don't remember which one was it) they have a good ending… Antaray nila!
Thanks for all the reviews and favorites of this story. It's a little sad to know that some people don't like this story but hey, you can't please everybody. :)
Well hope you liked it! Thanks for reading :)
