Chapter 2

Maka woke up and found that her head was on Souls lap. She looked up at Soul who was still sleeping. "Soul looks really peaceful when he sleeps." She thought to herself. She found herself staring at him, and then he started to wake up. She lifted her head off his lap. He asked if we were almost there. "Yes, we are landing now."

After landing they made their way to their hotel. It was already late and they were both feeling sleepy. Maka took out the room key and opened the door. To her surprise her father wasn't kidding about the one bed situation. Soul ran in and jumped on the bed. He immediately called out dibs. Maka sneered at him and yelled, "No fair, there is no way that I am sleeping on the floor."

"Then join me," Soul yelled back at her. Makas face turned a bright red.

"Umm…"

Soul than began to take off his clothes leaving him only in his boxers, and Maka quickly spun around and cried out, "w-why did you take off your clothes."

Soul laughed and said, "Maka calm down it's not like I am naked, this is just how I sleep, and it's not like your sleeping on the bed anyway."

"I-I guess," Maka replied, as she began making her bed on the floor.

A few hours had passed and Maka still could not fall asleep. She was tossing and turning and it was really cold on the floor. She looked up at Soul who was sound asleep. He really was a cute sleeper she thought. Soul was sleeping way on the side of the bed leaving the other half open. Maka thought it over but realized she couldn't take it anymore and hopped into the bed. She pulled the covers up to her chin and pushed herself to the opposite end of the bed. She told herself that she would wake up in the morning before soul and make her way back down to the floor.

Then she felt souls arm wrap around her and pull her tight. Maka's heart began to beat out of her chest. She tried to turn to see if soul was awake and just teasing her but she could not move from his grasp. She said his name a few times but he would not wake up. She enjoyed the warmth and comfort of his arm around her. She then slowly drifted to sleep.

Soul woke up to the smell of strawberry shampoo. He was surprised to see that Maka was nuzzled up to him. He just looked at her and chuckle. Then he crawled out of bed and got dressed. He yelled at Maka and practically pulled her out of bed. She whined and told him that she barely got any sleep. "Well that's not my fault you should have just got into the bed in the first place instead of trying to sleep on the floor."

"How was I supposed to you stripped down, and then…."

"Maka if we are supposed to be 'dating' then it's okay. Now let's go out to breakfast."

On the way Maka was thinking how Soul could act so calm, while she was practically about to faint every time they were forced to hold hands. What if he really was feeling the same way about her and his cool exterior wouldn't allow him to show it? Maka never really thought of soul as anything but a partner. She enjoyed spending time with him, but never thought anything of it.

When they arrived at the restaurant Maka was looking all over for any signs of the kishin. Soul was getting irritated. "Maka stop worrying about the kishin, if we want it to show up you have to pay attention to our appearance." Soul then reached for her hand and interlocked his fingers between hers. Maka blushed and to her surprise she seen Souls cheeks turn a light shade of pink. Then they heard a big commotion from outside. "Maka you ready." Soul said as they ran out of the restaurant.

"ughh… No kishin just a bunch of punks"

"Who you calling punks little girly," the leader said as he struck Maka across the face.

"You should NOT have done that," soul said laughing at the guy's expense.

"Ohh yeahh, Why nn…"

He didn't get to finish his sentence because Maka had already taken him down in one punch. She then continued until most of the group was taken down. "Anyone else want some?" Maka said angrily. The rest of the men ran away screaming.

"What would I ever do without you," said soul.

"You'd be a lot more ruffed up, that's for sure." Soul reached for her hand again and they walked away.

It soon fell dark. Soul and Maka sat down at a bench in the park.

"We haven't seen or heard anything about the kishin all day. We were even acting like a couple," said Maka.

"Well Death said it wasn't going to be as easy as just hanging out all day."

"What else are we supposed to do?"

"well, we could…" Soul didn't finish his sentence. He began to lean in. Maka's heart stopped as the distance between them began getting shorter and shorter. Their lips now just inches away.

Then all of a sudden the kishin pushed them apart. His big eyes glared them down.

"God damn," said Soul. "Maka you ready?"

"Y-yeah" she replied still a little flustered.

Soul transformed into a scythe and Maka attacked the kishin. The kishin deflected her attack sending her flying back. She hit her head hard against the side walk.

"Maka are you alright"

"O-of course it's going to take more than that to take me down" Maka said. As she stood up she stumbled to her feet.

Maka put up a good fight for a while but the kishin kept sending her back flying. She couldn't take much more of this. Then the kishin got her good and she was repelled slamming into the bench.

Soul transformed back in to a human to help her up, leaving him unaware of the kishin charging toward him. Maka had seen it though just in time to save him. She jumped infront of Soul.

"Maka!" Soul screamed as her blood dripped down on his shirt. He looked and seen the sharp part of the kishin's claw had pierced through her. The kishin forcefully pulled out his claw.

"Maka, you idiot!" Soul said in complete shock.

Maka reached her blood stained hand up and gently touched Souls cheek. She gave him a slight smile as her hand fell. She then collapsed in his lap. Soul sat there holding her tight trying to stop the bleeding. "No Maka No. You can't leave me. You promised to make me a death scythe. How and I going to live without you. MAKA I need you!"

OMG OMG OMG just wait till the next chapter!
