"Alright, thank you!" Maka said as the elderly woman bowed her head and turned too continued down the stoned path. They had been in Crete, Greece for a few hours now, collecting as much information as they could. Maka and Soul had ventured off from the group in order to gather some more information in other parts of the city.
"Man that was useless." Soul said as he put his hands behind his head lazily and leaned back a little as he walked. "All they keep telling us is the same thing over and over again. You'd think someone would know more about this stupid maze."
"Well it's not like all the information we had gotten was useless, right?" Maka said as she walked down the path, trying to defend all the hard work they had done. It was not working in the least.
"Let's go get something to eat" Soul said, changing the subject suddenly. He turned around to walk in the direction of the square. As Maka went to catch up to him, she realized that she was hungry as well. "Should we call the others so that we can all eat together?" Soul asked as she caught up to him. She just nodded, and smiled at him as he held out his hand. "Then, give me your cell phone." Maka reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, placing it in his hand.
Over in another part of the city, Tsubaki was trying to get Blackstar down from the roof of the building he was currently yelling from. As he yelled out another command for his 'servants', her phone started to ring. She grabbed it and answered, "Tsubaki speaking" She looked back up at Blackstar to see nothing had changed.
"Hey Tsubaki, its Soul. Maka and I were going to go get something to eat, so we figured we could all meet at the town square and go to a restaurant or something." She heard him say from the other line. In the background, she heard Maka yelling about comparing info as well. She giggled at this before replying with a simple 'Ok' and hanging up.
"Blackstar! We are going to meet up with everyone for lunch!" She called up to him.
"Yahoo!" Blackstar yelled at the top of his lungs as he jumped down. She smiled at him and let him take the lead-although she would still have to point him in the right direction.
Soul pulled the phone away from his ear as he hung up and began to dial Kid's number.
As he did this, Maka looked out over the horizon that was lit up with an orange and pink glow. The blue and green plain of ocean moving peacefully back and forth as it danced around the city. A breeze that brushed up against her smelled of sea salt and "insert word" mixed together. This was a beautiful city, one that just seemed to be a little too peaceful.
They finally arrived in the square a few minutes ago and now the view of the ocean became obstructed as the tall buildings filled in all around her. The crowd of people was not large but it was enough to make Maka try to avoid running into them.
"What took you so long?" Soul asked into the phone, pulling Maka from her trance. She turned to find an annoyed look on his face.
"I had to wait till the eighth ring" She heard Kid replied as she sat down on the edge of a coin fountain. This made her giggle as Soul sighed lazily. She knew that he wanted to slap him, but that wouldn't be 'cool' so he probably ignored the urge.
"We are all meeting in the town square for lunch, so get over here" Soul replied and as he was about to hang up but added "Oh and Kid?"
"Yes?"
"Don't wait till eight ok?" Soul snapped the phone shut and tossed it to Maka, who was still sitting quietly on the edge of the coin fountain, admiring the scenery. Soul sat next to her and admired it as well as he waited. It was a nice town defiantly not quiet but nice all the same. Although, their peace was short-lived because soon enough Blackstar was jumping down from the fountain above them, startling Maka. This made her lose her grip the edge of the stone she was sitting on as she began to fall back. Soul quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her from falling in.
"What took you so long?" Soul asked as Tsubaki came running from behind them.
"Sorry, we got lost" She said. As she looked around, she noticed that Kid wasn't around. "Where is everyone else?"
"I don't know." Soul said, looking around. Then Maka's phone rang and she handed it to Soul when she didn't recognize the number. When he answered it, his expression grew annoyed. He listened to the other person on the line for a while before saying "Fine, give us a minute." And hanging up. He then looked at Tsubaki and Maka before saying. "Well, I talked to Kid and he said we should meet him at the restaurant somewhere in the middle of the square." Soul said as he stood up and shoved his hands in his pockets. "He said it is the one that is perfectly symmetrical." Maka found herself giggling at this, earning a questioning look from Soul. "What?"
"Nothing, let's just go!" She said as she stood up and began to walk to the center of the square. It took around ten minutes before they found the restaurant that Kid had talked about, and in truth, it was right by where they had been sitting before.
"Shall we go in?" Kid asked as he gestured towards the door when the rest of the group walked up to him. Liz shrugged and walked in first, followed by a skipping Patty. As they made their way to the table, a woman came over and took their drink orders before leaving. "So what did you find out?"
"Nothing much really." Soul said as he leaned back in his chair.
"We found out that the maze is not a place most people hang out." Maka said as she gave Soul a look that said 'you're gonna fall'-which he ignored. "It was once a beautiful maze that people went to enjoy each other's company, but one day something bad happened there, and now no one goes near there. That was mostly what everyone told us."
"Same." Kid said as a drink was placed in front of him. The waiter then stood up and asked what they wanted to eat. After a few minutes of arguing and Blackstar yelling, they got their orders in and were once again alone. "Most of the residents here think that it was cursed or something. Apparently, one day the local police found a body in there and within a few days later, another one turned up. Now no one thinks to go near there anymore."
"Do we even bother to ask what they got?" Liz asked, nodding towards Blackstar, who was trying to jump to the ceiling while Tsubaki struggled to keep him in his seat.
"Blackstar, sit down! We need to share our information!" Tsubaki yelled at him. He just ignored her while screaming on top of his lungs.
"Hey everyone, I am the great Blackstar! Bow before your god!"
"Blackstar!" Tsubaki pulled on him a little more trying to get him in his seat. "Sit down!"
"Alright fine!" He said before jumping down and taking his seat. "But only because we have important matters to talk about and we can't have other people overhearing us."
"You are the only one that is shouting here." Liz mumbled to herself. "Right Patty?" Liz turned to find Patty sitting next to her, coloring a purple giraffe. "Hey, where did you get that?"
"The pretty waiter person gave it to me!" She said happily as she continued to draw.
"Right." Liz said as a sweat drop appeared on the side of her head. The waitress then walked over and placed down their dishes in front of them. Without asking if they needed anything else, she turned and left, leaving them alone again. It was silent for a while as everyone began to eat.
"Back to before, Tsubaki did you and Blackstar get any information on the maze?" Maka asked, breaking the silence as she turned to the weapon next to her. Tsubaki thought about it for a moment before nodding.
"Yes. A woman said she saw a young girl walking around that area before going inside the maze. When the woman called out to the girl, she ignored her and continued to walk in. A few minutes later, there was a scream from inside the maze. When the police went in to look, they could not find a body or anything that suggested the girl had gone in. Another man said the same thing happened a few weeks ago to. Everyone is worried and won't go near there now." Tsubaki explained.
"Well that should be good for us then, shall we go?" Kid said as he took a sip from his glass. With that, he stood up and left money on the table before heading for the door. Everyone followed him out and they began to wonder aimlessly for a while.
"So what now?" Liz asked after an hour. She was looking over her nails casually as Patty jumped up and down beside her. Maka looked around and was about to suggest that they go stay in a hotel for the night, when something moved in the corner of her vision. She quickly turned towards it and saw a shadow go into the maze.
"Hey guys," Maka called. No one really looked at her, but she continued anyway. "Someone just went into the maze"
Everyone turned to their attention to Maka, who had started towards the maze. They all followed close behind her as she entered the maze, everyone followed behind her, close to their partners. The further they walked into the maze, the darker it seemed to get and before she knew it, Maka could barely see. As if something had read her mind, the torches on the wall suddenly lit up, exposing everything around them.
"God, bright enough?" Soul complained as he held his hand up to cover his eyes from the bright light. The path in front of them seemed so long that she could not make out what was at the end. The walls that towered above them were made of stone, each holding a strange pattern.
"This Maze is very symmetrical" Kid admired from behind her.
"If only he could see the schematics for the rest of it" Maka muttered under her breath and Soul must have heard her because he laughed.
"We should get some of those and show it to him once we get back" He whispered to Maka as he took a step closer to her. She tried to hold in a laugh, it didn't work very well.
"What's so funny!?" Blackstar yelled, his voice echoing all around them. They both looked back at the confused group behind them and when their eyes landed on Kid, they broke out laughing again. Kid raised his eyebrow, questioningly.
"Nothing!" Maka replied when she recovered before continuing down the path. After a while, Liz spoke up.
"Are you sure you saw someone come in here?" She was looking all around her, searching every shadow for movement with a scared expression.
"Yes, I know I did." Maka said, ending the conversation there. They continued to walk for a little while longer, no one saying anything until they came to a three-way split.
"Oh great! What now?" Liz complained and Patty smiled grew.
"A great god like me can check every one of these halls on his own without the help!" Blackstar exclaimed as he pointed up towards the sky. Just as he was about to run in, Tsubaki reached out and stopped him.
"Well I suppose we split up" Kid commented as he thought it over, looking at each hallway carefully. "Soul and Maka can go that way," Kid pointed down the hall to the far left, "Blackstar and Tsubaki this hall," He pointed to the far right ignoring Blackstar yelling that peasants shouldn't boss him around. "And Liz, Patty, and I will go down the center" Kid finished before turning to see if anyone had any issues with that, excluding Blackstar. When no one said anything, Kid nodded to them before motioning for Patty and Liz to follow him. After a moment, Maka and Soul waved to Blackstar and Tsubaki before heading down the hall.
