In Which We Hide And Blackstar Seeks

Hide and Seek was probably the most intense game we played.

The rules were simple once you were seen you were out and you were allowed to go anywhere in Death City. But the thing is, it had gotten to the point where we've all worked together so much we can sense each other soul's. Then everyone found each other easily. So then we decided that to be "seeked" you had to be tagged. And that's when we really when Hide and Seek became the most heated game in the world. People would be chasing each other down miles of blocks and jumping across rooftops. We eventually made it a monthly game at the DWMA for all students who wanted to participate. The first "Seeker" is chosen by lottery. This month, Blackstar was it.

"God Maka, there is no way I'll be able to do this on my own," Soul said grabbing my wrist.

"You want to team up?" I asked.

"Blackstar's out to get me, ever since he found out I took that earring out," he shuddered, then started tugging me to follow him down the street.

"Why did he do that anyways?" I questioned. "You never told me."

"I don't know?! He's crazy! " Soul exclaimed. "Let's just find a good hiding spot before he gets here."

"Hiding doesn't help, he can 'see us' " I laughed, placing my hand in his to guide me to wherever he wanted to go.

"Well I don't know but I can't outrun him," Soul said.

" I?" I questioned. "Weren't we a team?"

"Stop being sassy and hide in this corner," he said.

"An alley? That's the first place where everybody hides," I argued. "Let's go to the DWMA."

"We did that last time," he groaned.

"Fine! Let's hide somewhere else at least!" I compromised.

"Fine," Soul grunted.

I squeezed his hand and we continued to walk down the street. I figured at least twenty kids had been caught already in the ten minutes we had played so far. Never underestimate Blackstar. We had to find somewhere to hide or we would have to run from Blackstar and although I hate to admit it, our chances of beating him were slim.

"Shit, I know where to hide," Soul said grabbing my hand tight and starting to run.

"Where?" I asked running along side him.

"Shit, shit, shit, you're going to hate it," he said with a sly grin.

That sly grin always gave me the chills. Soul gave me the chills. Honest to goodness, the only thing that scared me the most was Soul.

We sprinted down to the park, then slowed to a fast walking pace. Soul put his arm around me to guide me to where we would hide. As I saw what I approached us I gasped.

"No," I said. "No no no no no."

Soul opened the door and pushed me in, then stepped in himself and closed the door.

"We're hiding in freaking porta potty!" I screamed.

He cringed at my yell. Since we were standing together in a porta potty I might as well have been screeching in his ear.

"Think of it this way, I locked the fucking door, to the fucking porta potty, so Blackstar can't fucking come in and kill me," he said in a low voice. "Now be fucking quiet and we might actually win."

"Language," I hissed at him.

"Fuckity fuck fuck fuck," he taunted back at me.

I growled in frustration and shoved him to one side of the porta potty. His sly grin reappeared and I looked at him in disgust.

"Aww come here," Soul said reaching for a hug.

I reluctantly fell into his embrace since there was literally no space to run because we were in a porta potty. I left my arms hanging, refusing to hug him back.

"This is probably the most romantic thing I've done for a girl," he murmured into my shoulder.

"Get off," I immediately snapped.

Soul laughed and let go, leaving one arm wrapped around my shoulder. He opened his mouth to say something when I cut him off.

"Don't say a fucking word, Blackstar's coming this way."

I saw Blackstar's soul running round in circles, making sharp cuts everywhere. He started to approach us at top speed, but stopped short right in front of the porta potty.

"I know you're in there," Blackstar said.

Soul had moved his hand down to my waist to hold me. Our breathes synchronized as we tried to be quiet as possible. Blackstar must have tried to open the door, because the porta potty shook slightly.

"I could break this door," Blackstar threatened.

We remained silent.

"But that wouldn't be any fun," Blackstar's said, his voice twisted.

"Fuck, he's gonna tip us," Soul whispered.

"I'M GOING TO TIP YOU GUYS OVER," Blackstar screamed as he kicked the porta potty on it's side.

Soul managed to wrap his arms around me and cushion the fall in time. I struggled to get up, as Blackstar cackled off into the distance.

"Good thing this porta potty hasn't been used," Soul grunted trying to plant his elbow to sit up.

I tried to roll off of him, but failed along with Soul as he plopped back down.

"Sorry," I said, giving up the idea of standing.

Soul sighed laying his head back. I didn't dare move our position because as I had said, Soul scared me and I was frightened like a cat right now. We both laid in silence, looking up at the toilet hanging on the "ceiling". Fortunately, we landed on the door side of the porta potty. Unfortunately, we couldn't get out. We would have to wait until the end of the game for someone to get us.

"It's like looking up at the stars," Soul mused.

I let a low laugh.

It was times like this when Soul scared me the most. I couldn't control what would happen next, and didn't dare think of what could happen next and how things could change and who we were and what is life and death and love, and questions would spiral out of control and I would feel strange. Very strange. And as Soul wrapped his arms around me and rested his head in the crook of my shoulder, the question "who are we?" bounced around in my head and my thoughts sky rocketed.

Soul's breathing slowed, as he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, I stayed wide awake, staring at the toilet hanging from the "ceiling", terrified of the beating heart I laid on.
