Hey guys. I'm so sorry this took so long to get to you. We have been without internet for almost a week now (and maybe longer now -_-). I said last chapter I wasn't sure where I wanted to take this story and I'm still unsure but we will cross that bridge when we get there. But I took all of your guys' reviews into consideration and this story was born! Ta-da! Plus I made it longer than the usual chapters so you are welcome! Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing at all; if I did then we would start the anime over again and actually follow the manga this time. Also dubbing wouldn't take forever and a half to happen.
The giggle that was forcing itself to the surface was rising higher and higher, Soul's dumb angry face and James' carefree smarmy face were not helping my situation. However, the giggle died when I heard the reverberating "YAHOO" down the hall. Crap that little dingus was coming; I pulled out of James' grip leaving him with a confused, possibly hurt expression and Soul with a victorious grin. I almost shook my head, Why were boys such idiots?
With that thought I made my way to my locker pulling out my biology text book. I felt a big smile spread across my face as I felt the reassuring weight in my hand, now I was prepared. Soul gave me a look of surprise, possibly fearing for his own skull, but then his eyes softened and he smiled as he too heard the sounds of his hyperactive friend. Now as I have said before that, that smile made my heart stop, well this time it made me want to jump him in the damn hall. Crap! I had to get a hold of myself. I kept staring at Soul communicating through glances and meaningful looks, which was interrupted when I felt a hand wrap around my waist.
I nearly jumped a mile, turning to my assailant I prepared to chop the shit out of them, I realized it was James. Relaxing, I realized with a bit of guilt that I had been ignoring him, in fact if I was being honest, I had forgotten he was even there, "Oh hey, sorry. Just grabbing my book" I said with a sheepish grin, while gently sliding out of his grasp. Once I was free from his grasp I gave my dress a tug, with a defeated sigh I turned my attention back to soul. I saw that his scowl had returned and with it came my elation; maybe if he stayed that way for too long, his face would get stuck like that for good. I felt another giggle bubble in my throat; I really wouldn't be able to take Soul anywhere if that happened. I giggled at the thought, the girls running in fear of his angry scowl; I would be the only one to go near the handsome beast! That had a nice ring to it, no more stupid confessions of undying love or inappropriate innuendos at handling his scythe. Yup, if Soul wanted to scowl his way through life, it was fine with me.
My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden slam to my back by a large, muscular hand; I felt my eye begin to twitch. I would recognize that hand and soul wave length anywhere.
"My disciples, bow before your god!" He boomed in our faces. Turning to the blue monkey I felt my eye twitch, from the corner of my eye I noticed that Soul's scowl had become a welcoming grin. So much for the permanent scowl, damn, I felt myself begin to scowl.
I loved BlackStar but he was a loud dingus who held Tsubaki back with his immaturity and too big pride. However, he did fit the timid weapon like a glove; he made her happy for whatever reason. So there was nothing I could complain about, sadly. Noticing that James and BlackStar had struck up a conversation, I turned to listen better.
"Oh ye of little faith, your god has arrived, bow before the Great BlackStar!"
"Dude indoor voice and aren't you the guy with the hot weapon?"
"BLASPHEMY! NO ONE SPEAKS ABOUT THE GREAT BLACKSTAR'S GODDESS THAT WAY!"
"Dude, calm down." James said with a frown.
"This little dingus won't calm down about Tsubaki" I replied with a frown, "in fact he doesn't calm down at all." Watching James face I noticed that his once energetic soul was becoming worried and confused. I immediately sighed; this was not going well and the whole group wasn't even here yet.
"BlackStar!" We heard said weapon shout as she ran through the hall, weaving through the crowd. We heard a chorus of "sorry's" and "excuse me's" before she arrived with a concerned expression.
"BlackStar, you really shouldn't run around the school like that." Tsubaki said while making sweeping, analyzing looks, probably to make sure that her boyfriend wasn't injured.
"Have no fear, My Goddess. I shall triumph over the world and then all shall bow at my feet." He said with a chortle of laughter.
"MAKA", the shout echoed through the school. I immediately cringed please don't be my father, I thought as I turned towards the shout. OH CRAP! Never mind, Papa save me.
I turned to run but found myself constrained by my evil weapon, with a big ass shit eater grin on his face no less. Fuck. Turning slowly I saw Kid's red face as he flew over the crowds of students. He was holding something vaguely familiar. Immediately the blood drained from my face. I was going to be in soooo much trouble.
"HOW COULD YOU! THIS IS NOT SYMMETRICAL AT ALL! "
"OI, OCD GOD! WHAT ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT?" BlackStar shouted up at Kid.
He landed with an inhumane grace, and then strode towards me holding the asymmetrical panties I had bought Liz.
"LIZ WORE THESE" Kid yelled throwing the garments to the floor. "It was disgusting." Eeek, obviously the OCD reaper was pissed.
"Excuse me!" we heard the haughty shout of Liz, as she emerged from gun form with Patty rolling on the floor with laughter.
Instantly Kid paled, "I didn't mean you; I meant this garbage that Maka forced you to buy."
"IT WAS A DARE!" Liz screamed. "She didn't force me to do anything."
"Wait," Soul said with an evil grin. "You're telling me that Liz wore that in front of you and you thought it was disgusting?"
Kid began to splutter, "No, I was very attracted. In fact it reminds me of her silver pair. Yet the design is disgusting, no matter how you look at it, the stripes will never be symmetrical and one side is black! If it had all been black I would have enjoyed the attire immensely."
"STOP TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT MY UNDERWEAR AND OUR SEX LIFE." Liz shouted as she punched kid in the head.
"ELIZABETH! THAT WASN'T IN THE EXACT CENTER OF MY FACE! YOU MUST HIT ME AGAIN!" Kid sobbed.
Liz's face pulled into a huge grin, "Alright."
I felt the wrinkle of worry between my eyes disappear, it was quickly replaced with a look of embarrassment. Turning to Soul, I saw him eyeing the discarded underwear with a look of interest and a tiny dribble of blood.
"Pervert," I said as I Maka-chopped his thick skull.
In the background, I heard Kid having the pulp beaten out of him, Soul on the ground bleeding and moaning, and Patty rolling on the floor cackling. I was about to leave when I noticed, a paralyzed James staring at the scene like one would a car crash, with a sick fascination, wanting to leave but a grim need to know the awful truth. So much for wanting to make Soul jealous with him, we clearly broke him.
Picking up my biology book, I leaned over and heard a wolf whistle. Shit, I forgot; bend the knees not the waist. Turning around I was about to smack the rude asshole with my thick textbook, I was beaten by Soul, he had said asshole pinned against the wall with a very pissed off expression. The boy looked about ready to piss himself, staring at crimson eyes, a bloody face and shark teeth. I considered saving him but really the damn noises were getting annoying. I heard the bell; well it looks like that little pervert got lucky.
Walking towards Soul I thought about my promise to stay silent, however, Soul could not be late to class one more time.
"Come on," I said giving Soul's arm a light tug. I felt his tense muscles relax but his face still looked pissed. I leaned in close to his ear. "Come on master, we can't be late."
Without looking at Soul, I started making my ways towards Steins class, noticing that the newly broken James was still standing there, I made sure to wave and shout goodbye, maybe wake up the stupefied boy.
I entered the class room wearily, thank god these were some of the more mature students at Shibusen, and they were used to our group's antics. We were the most powerful, but we were also the most childlike.
Looking up at the seats I noticed that BlackStar was sitting quietly with Tsubaki, maybe the little monkey wasn't as immature as he used to be. At least he could sit in one place for extended periods of time now, I noticed that Kid was passed out on the desk with Patty poking his check while Liz checked her nails, continuing to scan the class I noticed that Kim and Ox were, of course, cuddling, what really made me stare was the two stoic weapons besides them holding hands with small grins. Harvar seemed to be whispering to Jacqueline quietly; from the looks of it their date went well.
Immediately I felt my stomach clench, Soul and I were one of the few who weren't with that special someone. In fact I'm pretty sure that it was the destiny of a weapon and meister to love each other. There was no way to have this much of a connection and not have feelings.
The only exceptions I could really name were Kilik with fire and thunder pot but those little shamans weren't exactly date material and Kilik was so straight that it was laughable to think of him with a guy, I'm sure half the girls in the school would agree with me, there was also Stein and my Papa but they were like brothers, able to read each other while containing the others madness or redirecting towards something harmless, possibly hilarious, and then finally Kim and Jacqueline but they had Harvar and Ox, those guys' made an inseparable group that clicked so well.
So I guess there were intense feelings for all of them. So where had Soul and I gone wrong? I looked down at my feet clenching my fists. Sure we had made a tiny bit of progress in the last 2 days but really all these years of partnership, to lead to a single kiss and some looking up my skirt? Where was the romance or better yet the effort from Soul?
Huffing I made my way to my seat; I was staring off in the distance when I felt the familiar warmth of my neglectful partner beside me. I decided that I needed more time with my thoughts, so I sat with my arms crossed, my eyes turned to stare at the blood dripping from the cover of my book in silence. I thought about cleaning it up but watching the constant drip was hypnotic, almost relaxing, so I decided against it.
I soon heard the familiar sound of wheels spinning at a fast pace, I smiled knowing some things never changed. We all saw a streak of gray nearly make it into the room; however the chair seemed to trip over nothing sending the stoic teacher into a face plant on the floor. Many kids held back snickers, while others cough 'Tsubaki' cough glanced at him worriedly. Stein picked himself up staring at the chair with a sage look, silently cranking his screw. Once he had finished, he turned, "Well class, today we will be dissecting a rare type of snake" he said holding up a squirming black snake. "There are only 20 in the world, so I thought we should get a good look at it before it's gone."
We watched as he wheeled in a modified dissection table, the class had long gotten past it's squeamish stage, we were now immune to the constant smell of blood, formaldehyde, and other bodily fluids. In fact, this class made it easier to do my job as a technician, many times I've need to destroy something that in another life, probably without Stein, I would have vomited at. I pulled out paper and pens, noticing that the blood was still on the table, I let out a sigh as I cleaned off the blood with a wet wipe. Silently I handed one to Soul, without even looking I knew he hadn't cleaned the blood off yet. I wiped it off my table and watched as Stein made the first incision.
Stretching my arms above my head I let out a muffled gasp of pleasure, I had been sitting in that class for far too long. The moment was quickly over when I felt the hem of my dress pulled down, effectively pulling down my arms with it. I could tell by the smell and the electrical tingles of where skin contact had been made, that the culprit was Soul.
"What the hell, Soul?" I said pulling out of his grasp.
"I was just helping," he said with a scowl. "And it's Master, remember?" I felt a shiver as his eyes roamed my body.
"You should be careful, there's some real perverts in this school." Soul said hooking his thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans.
"I can't think of a bigger pervert than you," I said with a huff. That caused a grin to spread over his sharp teeth, again a shiver made its way through my body.
"I'm a gentleman pervert," he said backing me up into a wall. "There's a difference, a gentleman is cool and perverted asshole isn't. As you know Maka, I'm always cool."
I gulped as I watched his eyes roam my body for the umpteenth time, every time I felt naked and this time was no exception.
"W-we should really get to class," I stuttered as he brought his nose to the crook of my neck. He brought his hands up to my short hair gently grasping my checks. I felt my breath hitch as he placed a tiny kiss on my lips. More electric shocks went up my body as he continued the tiny kisses along my jaw; I fought for brain control as the pleasure began to override basic motor functions, like breathing. The sane part of my mind was shouting that we were in the middle of the friggin' hallway and I had gym. I mentally fought to pull away from him but something, probably my inner pervert, that bitch, held me in place. With a final peck to my lips he pulled away with a steamy look and a small grin.
"See a gentleman," he said sticking his long fingers back into his pockets. He turned without another word, leaving me breathless. With a shaky hand I traced my lips longingly, all the while wishing that I had deepened the kiss. Turning down the hall I noticed that Soul and I had, had an audience. James was giving me an annoyed look before turning down the hall. Yup he would never be talking to me again, I sighed as I turned down the hall heading towards gym.
Is it bad that I really don't give a flying fuck about James? Hmm… no I don't think so, in fact that pervert shouldn't have been watching us. My thoughts were swimming with the idea of kissing Soul as I made my way down the hall to gym. Wait gym… I paused, YES I mentally screamed as I picked up the pace. I would get to wear my gym uniform. No more stupid frills, lace, or silk, I picked up my pace heading for the gymnasium and my hour of relief.
I sighed with relief as I pulled on the ill fitting cotton shirt with the spandex shorts, never in my life have I been more happy to wear this ugly ass outfit. Turning back to my discarded dress I thought about dumping it in the trash, the temptation was strong, but I could imagine it now as Liz pulled out a duplicate dress. She would smile as she informed me that I would have my punishment extended. I thought back to my dare, maybe I could get out of this stupid dress after all. I only had to kiss Soul in public. I'm pretty sure our little show in the hall would be sufficient, with a grin I made my way to the fields.
As I exited the locker room, I frowned in confusion. The boys were in our field, I saw that Soul, Kid, and BlackStar had forgone their shirts; staring up at the snickering sun I felt a new appreciation for its deadly heat. Glancing around the field I felt that appreciation destroyed when I saw the herd of fan girls, silently stalking their prey. I quickly made my way over to the boys ready to defend what clearly wasn't theirs.
I had almost arrived, when I realized that, Tsubaki and Liz had, had the same idea as me. Liz made sure to flaunt herself, practically draping herself over Kid. It would look desperate if Kid didn't look insanely pleased, mean while BlackStar was clutching Tsubaki like she would disappear at any moment, probably still stuck on James' stupid remark. Watching the quickly falling faces from the pack of girls I couldn't help but snicker, but I was quickly shut up when I realized that over half of them were still holding that feral feline gaze of want. Turning back to the group I realized why, Soul was open. He was practically beckoning every girl within three miles to jump him and his toned body, deciding to remedy this I made my way over to Soul, what was I going to do? I have no idea but I was sick and tired of these girls thinking that Soul was free.
That made me halt, crap, Soul was free. We had yet to talk about our relationship; he was still free to ask any of those whores out. Well that didn't matter, I decided, I would make sure that they knew he had a fucking partner, and I would make it uncomfortable for any floozy to come over here. He was my damn, gentleman pervert, and I silently vowed to myself that I would make him mine.
Thank you guys so much! Also you make writing fun and I'm excited to get more to you, so you should review and give me your thoughts. By the way should stop the whole maid outfit or make Liz a bitch and continue Maka's torture? :D If you have some ideas or things you want to see, you should let me know! Also, if you really liked it, you should favorite and follow if you haven't already! *wink wink* Also I wanted to let you all know, that in my boredom from the last few days I have edited and tweaked all of my chapters. Nothing important has changed but its neater now and more grammatically correct. See ya next time. Bye!
