I'm sorry this is late!

I made this chapter as it had continuously poured down rain for four days straight! (it still hasn't stopped.)

Anyway, because I want to get on with the chapter:

Disclaimer. I do not own Soul Eater or any of the characters.

Chapter 4 –

Rainy Days I hate the rain.

Nothing good ever comes from it.

The day my mom committed suicide, it was raining – it fell so no one could see me cry.

When my dog ran away, the rain fell as if mocking me, saying I couldn't search for a dog in the rain.

When my sister died in an accident, it too was raining and her last words were that rain brought new promises.

The rain, it's such a stupid thing…

*Black Star's POV*

"You're Black Star, the best assassin in the whole country, correct?" Medusa asked, smiling evilly, as she looked at me.

"That is correct! I AM THE GREAT ASSASSIN BLACK STAR!" I yelled as I revealed myself from within the shadows.

"Well, I have a job for you… There is a certain girl who is being a nuisance…" Medusa said slightly irritated.

I looked at her, "And who is this girl?"

"Her name is Maka Albarn" Medusa said, her voice confident. She had a venomous look in her eyes as she spoke.

"Maka Albarn… As in the princess of the Spirit Kingdom?!" (A/N The kingdoms are based off of their names. The Spirit kingdom for Spirit. The Death Kingdom for Lord Death and DTK. The Soul Kingdom for Soul & His family.)

"That's correct." Medusa said as if she were stating the obvious.

This witch really bothers me… But, I need the money. "What's in it for me?" I said smirking at her.

"I'll give you 500 gold coins." (A/N Sorry, I don't know a good currency…) Medusa said holding a bag out for me to take.

"No. Do you know how hard it's going to be for me to break into the castle?!" This witch is totally insane!

"She's not in the castle. She's actually headed to the city of Azure. 500 gold coins, and I'm not coming off the price."

"800 and I'll do it." I said glaring at her.

"600, no more." She replied smugly.

"I'm leaving." I said waving goodbye as I turned around and began walking away.

"Fine… Fine, 800." She said with the words dripping out with anger.

"Now we're talking." I said smiling as I took the bag from her. Now, I've got a job to do… I disappeared into the shadows once again. I've never had to kill a princess before.

*Maka's POV*

Soul and I had eaten breakfast before we rode on Rain to the nearest city.

I estimated that Kid would be searching for me by now, but he would stop at every city he comes across. I knew I was at least three cities ahead of him, so for the time being I would be fine.

It had begun to drizzle on our ride to the city. We had been sitting in silence since Soul had said he was going to part ways at the city. He said his arm was good enough to start traveling on his own again. As much as I didn't want to say goodbye to Soul, I had to say I agreed with him. His arm was a lot better and it is always easier to say goodbye to someone, when you don't have that strong of a bond.

*Soul's POV*

The ride to the city was long and dreary.

It was true I was going to miss Maka, but I couldn't risk falling in love.

I wanted to say something, but there was nothing I could think of.

After what seemed like forever, we entered the city.

She stopped the horse and looked at me with sad eyes. I felt a pain in my chest, but I decided to ignore it. "Uhh… I guess this is goodbye… Maka."

"R-right… Well, I hope I see you again… Soul." I could hear the sadness in her voice, but I couldn't back out now.

I put on my coolest smirk and I turned around and began walking away. "Bye Maka. Stay cool."

I continued walking down the path without looking back. I knew she had already walked away because I heard the horse's hooves walk in the other direction.

As I walked farther into the city I got a really weird feeling in my gut. Assuming it was nothing I continued walking.

After a few minutes of aimlessly walking I overheard some people talking.

"Yeah, some blue haired guy was looking for some girl named Maka Albarn." One of them said. I couldn't help but eavesdrop.

Another one said, "You must be talking about Black Star! He's the countries best assassin."

This time a girl spoke, "What would an assassin want with the Spirit Kingdom's Princess?" I tensed up.

Something was wrong… I had to find Maka, and before anything bad happens.

I began running down the street earning many confused looks, but I ignored them.

I just hope I'm not too late!

*Maka's POV*

After Soul walked away it changed from a light drizzle to downright pouring.

I walked down a street alone (after dropping Rain off in an overnight stable).

I shivered at the cold breeze. I heard someone laugh behind me. I quickly turned around to see a blue haired guy standing there.

"Who are you?" I asked. I wanted to be anywhere but here. I was shivering in the pouring rain and some insane guy with hair that defies gravity is laughing at me.

"I'M THE GREAT BLACK STAR AND I AM HERE TO ASSASSINATE YOU!" He yelled obnoxiously.

I wasn't scared, just concerned. "You can't kill me."

"And why is that?" He smirked while saying that.

"Because, I am the princess of the Spirit Kingdom." I didn't want to die, but there was no way for me to change fate. I couldn't be scared and show weakness, otherwise, that would disgrace my family's name.

"Sorry girly, but Medusa is paying me loads for your head." Black Star said as he withdrew his sword. He smirked at the sight of how I smiled when he jumped to attack me. "So, you don't fear death?"

Unflinching I answered, "Not at all."

The next thing that happened was probably the worst moment in my life. An excruciating went through my chest. When I looked down I saw his sword had gone straight through me. When he withdrew his sword from my body I fell onto the ground. I could feel my blood creating a pool underneath me. I looked up at the dark sky and sighed. Before I knew it, my eyesight became blurry and everything began to go dark.

The rain really is depressing… Isn't it?

Please don't hate me! Cliffhanger!

I hope you all liked this chapter and I'll try to post more often!

I love everyone's reviews and so I have decided that starting on the next chapter, I'm going to do shutouts to each review.

Thank you all sooooo much!
