Belfast, Ireland, home of the most recent Kishin target for the DWMA. Incidentally, also home of Katie and I's first attempt at acquiring a Kishin egg. I glanced over at Maka and Soul, who also appeared to be on guard for the Kishin. This wasn't a job for amateur teams, so the fact that Katie and I had even been chosen to attempt this mission was a miracle. Not long after, over he appeared.
"Katie!" I yelled, and she nodded, transforming. I caught her and spun her a few times, just as more Kishin began to appear.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" I yelled. Maka and I met in the middle, back to back.
"Any ideas?"
"None."
"Oh, fantastic. We're in a battle in the middle of nowhere with no ideas. Guess we'll just have to fight."
"Well..."
"Well what?"
"There is the option of Soul Resonance, Soul and I are getting pretty good at it, and you guys' have a really strong resonance."
"Maka, I'm not sure if you remember-" I ducked as a blade came towards me "- but last time we attempted Soul Resonance, I fainted."
"I remember. Look, just give it a try," she said, and I nodded.
"Fine."
I ran at a Kishin, stabbing it in the middle.
"Soul Resonance!" I yelled, feeling this one stronger, but not as painful, as before. I saw Katie become two sided, and felt an incredible rush of power. Running to the other Kishin, I began to slice through them. The power was intense, and before I knew it, between us, Maka and I had defeated all of the Kishins.
"How many?!" I asked, Katy returning to human form.
"I'd say around twenty," Maka observed.
"You're kidding me. We did this?" I looked around with wide eyes.
"Yeah."
"So, um, what do I do? Just... eat them?" Katie asked, looking dubiously at all of the souls.
"Basically," replied Soul, going at putting one in his mouth. I raised an eyebrow. Okay then... I turned away and talked to Maka.
"So, when does our plane arrive to take us back?" I asked her.
"Tomorrow morning at nine."
"Right. Also, what's the deal with you and Soul?" I smiled. A deep blush spread across her face, flooding it with color.
"Soul... uh, no deal. He's my partner and friend."
"Suuure. I know you like him."
"Perhaps," she replied, and I smirked.
"Anyway, we'd better get back to the hotel. Soul! Katie!" I called, and they both came back, Maka giving Katie a glare.
"What were you guys talking about?" she asked suspiciously, and I rolled my eyes. Katie seemed to have made enemies out of every single girl except me and Tsubaki. But then, we'd been friends for a long time and Tsubaki was just really nice and accepting- I mean, she has Black Star for a partner. You've got to be accepting for that.
"Could you guys stop arguing and shut the hell up!" I shouted and Soul looked like he agreed.
"But-" Maka began.
"Shut. The. Hell. Up." Soul and I said at the same time. They frowned, but did shut up.
"I don't know how much longer I can put up with this," I mumbled under my breath, and Soul nodded. I was so glad we all had separate hotel rooms. Because if we were sharing, I would have to put up with both of them in the morning. I'm not a morning person. I don't know how well I'd deal with that.
"Next week we're away as well, to Italy, rememeber?" Soul said, and I slapped my forehead.
"Why?!" I asked the sky, and Soul smirked a little.
"Well, first we'll have to meet at Maka and I's apartment with everyone else, so we can see if they can have some... bonding time then," he said.
"That sounds so wrong," I told him, and I saw a little blood come out of his nose.
"Soul. Stop imagining it. That's disgusting," I instructed. He just frowned at me.
"I'm not imagining anything!" he protested and I raised an eyebrow, looking at his bloodied nose.
"Whatever."
