Morningnight: Yes I think we should
Kat: Ok! Here we go!
Maka and Soul walked down the hall, neither one of them saying anything. Soul found this a little annoying but he didn't know how to break the silence without being awkward about it. He really didn't know much about her or girls in general. The last thing he wanted to do was say something to her and upset her.
"So…um….how are you?" Soul asked.
'What the hell was that!?' Soul thought to himself as he turned his head away from her. 'Man that was so uncool!'
"I'm fine, I guess," Maka said, looking him over. She didn't know what he was trying to do, but she guessed it had something to do with the awkward silence between them.
"That's good," Soul said as he stood up straight. His hands were in his pockets and when he leaned back a little, he let his head fall back so he could stare up at the dark ceiling. He really wasn't sure what to do now. At least he could say he tried.
"Um… how are you?" Maka asked, looking away a little. Surprised by this, Soul looked at her. Then, smirking to himself, he said.
"I'm fine," That was it for conversations for a while. When the hallway they were on kept turning and going all over the place, Soul stopped and looked around. "This is a really long hallway. I know we have been turning a lot, but I didn't see any break offs anywhere."
"I have been thinking about that too. I thought it was just a coincidence though. What should we do?"
"I'm not sure," Soul said as he looked around some more. Suddenly, something caught his eyes. "Did you see that?" He asked. Maka turned to find him running off down the hall, chasing something she couldn't see.
"Hey, wait up!" She yelled as she chased after him. She followed the hall, taking left and right whenever she ran into them until she came to fork in the way. She stopped and looked down both, not sure which way to go. "Soul?" She called, hoping he would hear her. When there was no response, she suddenly got nervous. "Soul!?" She yelled again. A strange feeling started to form and she was starting to get worried; she was in a supposed haunted maze by herself, without her weapon. "Soul!" She screamed on the top of her lungs one last time.
"What?" asked an annoyed voice. Maka turned around to find Soul walking out from the left hallway and towards her, his hands in his pockets. "Why are you screaming like that?"
"Where the hell did you go!?" Maka yelled at him as he reached her. "You can't just run off like that!"
"Well if you were a little faster, maybe you would have been able to catch up," Before Maka could even comment on that, he continued. "Anyway, it was nothing. Apparently there was a small animal in here. I caught up to it at a dead end."
"An animal?" Maka asked, but Soul just shook his head and turned to go down the hall to the right. "Wait Soul, how do you know that is the right path to take?"
"Didn't you hear me? I said that the left one leads to a dead end," Soul snapped. Maka took a step back. Why was Soul being so mean? He wasn't acting like the way he usually did and this bothered her. Was it just her imagination? "So uncool," Soul said before sighing and scratching the back of his head. "Sorry, let's just go," He then turned and walked down the path. Maka breathed a sigh of relief as she realized that this was Soul and that she probably had nothing to worry about.
*~Somewhere with Soul~*
"Damn, how did I lose it? I thought I had it," Soul said as he walked down the path. He sighed to himself as he realized that he had not only lost whatever he was chasing, but Maka too. "She is gonna kill me"
"Who is gonna kill you?" asked a voice. Soul looked up to find Maka walking towards him. "Sorry it took so long, I took a wrong turn somewhere" She said as she walked up to him. She then looped her arm through his and pulled him close to her.
"What are you doing?" Soul asked as he stopped and looked her over. She just smiled at him as she titled her head a little.
"What's wrong?" She asked. Maka placed a finger on his chest and began to draw little circles on his jacket. Soul just watched her stunned for a moment. Something didn't feel right and whether she was waiting for him to take advantage of the situation just so she could hit him for it or she was mentally ill. Either way, he really didn't want to fall for it. "Ne, Soul-kun~?"
"Oh ah…nothing," Soul decided to drop it, not feeling very good about something. He continued to walk as he asked, "What should we do now?"
Maka pouted at him when he ignored her. So, she tried to do something else to distract him.
"Hey Soul-kun!" Maka yelled as she ran out in front of him. He stopped to look at her. "Don't you want to hug me~?" Maka asked as she held out her arms to him. Soul tried to reply to that but he wasn't sure how too.
"Let's stay on trying to find that shadow you saw, okay?" He reminded her, hoping that would snap her out of whatever she was in. He knew she valued grades from watching how serious she was during class, so it seemed strange that she would want to do anything but work.
"Maybe we should go find the others," She said as she watched Soul walk past her and down the hallway. "We have been running into nothing but dead ends this entire time, and it is pointless just to keep continuing. Maybe the others are having better luck."
"That doesn't mean we should go back. I'm sure we can find something if we just continue," Soul said. They came to a break in the hallway and Soul paused, not sure which way to go. "Should we go left or right?"
"I think we should go back!" Maka said, as she clung to his arm again. Soul sighed to himself, not wanting to deal with this.
"Maka, just pick a way, alright? We aren't going back," He said as he turned to her. She had a small smile on her face as she looked at him. This confused him for a moment, but he decided to ignore it.
"Why not!? Don't you want to go do more fun things?" Maka asked. She looked almost like a little puppy that was begging for a treat. Soul shook his head for a second, making sure that he wasn't seeing things.
"Reading a book doesn't count as being fun," Soul comment, knowing that was what she was thinking.
"Please, pretty please?" Maka begged as she put her hands together. Soul took a step back for a moment. Was Maka... begging him to leave?
"Are you feeling alright?" Soul asked. Maka just nodded her head as she began to lead him back the way they had come.
"Come on, let's go!" She said. "The others are waiting!"
Soul quickly pulled his arm away from her. She gave him a confused look.
"What has gotten into you? It was your idea to come in here the first place, and now you want to leave? We have a mission Maka, we can't just ignore that! I never would have thought you would leave as soon as something got to scary for you,"
"It's not scary!" Maka yelled as she took a step towards him. "I'm not afraid of anything!"
Maka jumped at Soul, and he reached out to push her away. She just quickly moved out of the way and tackled him. Soul was surprised by this that he didn't even think about where he put his hands to push her off. All he knew was that he somehow got his hands in between her and him and pushed to get her away. Unfortunately, without realizing it until it was too late, Soul's hand had ended up where no person in their right mind would ever touch Maka. Soul looked down to find his hands on her chest, pushing at it with very little strength right now.
"Um….s-sorry" Soul blurted out as he quickly removed his hands and pulled Maka's arms off from around his neck. He took a step back, waiting to be hit with a book, but it never came. When he looked back up at Maka, he found her smiling….seductively…..?
"Oh there is nothing to be sorry about" Maka said with a smile as she placed her hands behind her back and took another couple of steps forward. Soul moved back as she became inches away from him.
He went to take a step back, but there was a wall in the way. "And why would I be afraid when I have a big strong man to protect me?" That sentence took Soul off guard but really surprise him was the next one. "Let's just go back to the others alright? They probably need our help. I can't image that they had gotten very far. I mean they can be helpless sometimes. "
"Maka," Soul said, suddenly realizing something."Which others?"
"Huh?" She asked, confused.
"You want to go back to the others, right?" Maka nodded her head, a small smile coming to her face. "Which ones." The smile from her face quickly disappeared as she realized something; Soul had caught her. "Where is the real Maka?"
Suddenly, Maka pushed him up against the wall and swiped her feet under him, before pulling him away as he slammed to the ground. Soul groaned at the small pain in his side but turned to get up anyway. Unfortunately, before he could get to his feet, Maka sat on his stomach and slammed both of his hands above his head, pinning him to the ground.
"You know, you should have just let it go. That way, you wouldn't be in this situation." She said with a wicked smile as she leaned down closer to him.
Soul struggled against the fake Maka, who was now currently sneering at him as she got inches from his face. The menacing look in her eyes stood out above everything else, and it scared him a little. He had tried to kick her, but she was to far up on him to even reach and since his arms were pinned above him, they were useless.
That was when Soul got an idea. He smirked up at her as she got a confused look on her face. Without warning, one of Soul's arms transformed into a razor sharp scythe blade and cut her hand that was holding it down. She hissed in pain and pulled her arm away, giving Soul the opportunity to push her off and get to his feet.
"That hurt!" Maka spit out, holding her hand to her chest. Soul could see the blood dripping down it and onto her skirt. Soul got in a ready position, wanting to attack her and make her tell him where the real Maka was, but those thoughts were disturbed when a loud scream filled the hall around him. With the imposter forgotten, Soul ran down the hall in the direction of the scream, ignoring the footsteps of the imposter following him.
*~Somewhere with Maka~*
Maka walked down the pathway, watching Soul's back as he walked. Something was wrong with him. He had been silent this entire time and she didn't know why, but it irritated her to no end. So, she decided to test him out.
"Hey soul,"
"Hm?" he called back not turning to her.
"What is that guy's name? The one with the three strips. I can't seem to recall his name or those two girls," Maka knew that if he was the real Soul, he would be able to answer them without a problem, but if he even hesitated or tried to get out of answering the question, she knew he was someone else.
"Are you talking about Kid, Liz and Patty?" Soul asked, as he glanced over his shoulder. Maka felt utterly stupid at this point.
"Yea them," She sighed. How could she be so stupid to doubt her own partner?
"Why do you want to know? Worried about them or something?" Soul asked as he stopped and turned to her.
"No! Why would I be worried about that OCD weirdo and that loud mouth?" Maka yelled before she could stop herself. She had no idea why she said that, even if it was a little true.
"What loud mouth?" Soul asked, looking completely confused. Maka stared at him, not sure what to think.
"Blackstar?" Maka asked as she watched the realization come to his face.
"Oh right, yea him. Almost forgot about him," Soul said as he turned and began to walk away.
"How do you forget about Blackstar? He is one of your closet friends and he kinda makes it almost impossible to forget him," Maka pointed out. It took a minute but Soul finally said,
"Oh yea, I know. He can be a real loud mouth sometimes, but ya gotta love him" Soul laughed.
"Hey Soul," Maka said as she stopped. Soul looked at her to see her head titled down a little as she stared at the floor.
"What up?" When Maka didn't say anything, Soul walked over to her and tried to peek at her face, but her blond bangs prevented him from doing so. "Maka? What's wrong?"
"You're not Soul," Maka mumbled, but it was barely audible.
"What did you say?" Soul asked, "Speak up, I can't hear you."
"You're not Soul," Maka said as she looked up at him. He gave her a confused look before giving a horrible dry laugh to cover himself.
"That's ridiculous Maka! I think you have been reading one too many books!" Soul said as he shook his head and began to walk away. Maka, however, didn't move and just continued to glare at the man in front of her.
"Then transform," This made Soul stop and look at her. "Transform into a weapon, and I'll believe you."
"What?" Soul just looked at her with a smile. "That is just stupid. Come on Maka, it's me, Soul. Why would you think I was someone else?"
"Then transform into the scythe," Maka said. Her left hand reached around to her bag where she grabbed the first thing she could find. "Transform into the scythe and I will believe you."
"I'm not wasting time to transform into a weapon just so you can get over your stupid paranoia," Soul said as he turned to leave.
"What did you do to the real Soul!?" She yelled as she pulled out the book from her bag and flung it at him. The book hit his head, causing him to be pushed forward a little. He slowly turned around to face her, anger in his eyes.
"That hurt, Maka," He spit out her name like it was a disease. "Why must you be so annoying? Maybe if you had some sex-appeal then it would okay but you're flat as a board"
Maka took a step back as she saw him beginning to advance on her. Looking around quickly, Maka did the only thing she could think of to do. She turned around and sprinted as fast as she could down the pathway, as the fake Soul followed closely behind her.
Maka and Soul both ran through the halls they were in with their fake partners running not far behind them. They took as many turns as they could, trying to lose the look-alikes. Finally, they both saw a dim light ahead. Thinking they still had some hope of getting away, they ran through the entrance way they which led to a large open room. The first thing and only thing they both saw were each other…
