…Warning if you didn't see this coming already; though I still stand strong with the T rating… If you don't care to read it, skip to the next line break. Oh! And language… Kidd gets P'Oed
Maka was drug along by the skinny, yet surprisingly strong, man somewhere toward the back of the makeshift town. She fought with all the strength she could muster, but it simply wasn't enough to get away from the man's grimy hands. This was not happening. In bursts of strength and adrenaline, she jerked and tugged away from the old man, she was sure she even managed to bite his arm at one point, but all to no avail. He pushed her into a partially lit cabin and turned to lock the only door there was. Of course there were windows, but none she could fit through with ease.
He turned to face the frightened blonde, giving her a smile that could curdle dairy. "Now we can have some privacy…" Quicker than she could respond to, the man was right in front of her, grabbing both wrists and pinning them to the wood paneled wall behind her. He crashed his lips upon hers, which she immediately turned her head away from. She felt him grin into her neck as his hand gently ghosted up her shirt. She spat on him, the taste of his forced kiss still on her lips. It tasted strongly of cigarettes and beer; a flavor she felt nightmares were made of. Just before his hands reached their destination, she kneed him hard in the stomach, causing him to stumble backwards in surprise.
Taking advantage of his momentary daze, she rushed over to the door, frantically pawing at the handle. Putting enough of her mind together to remember how to use a doorknob, she twisted it only for it to catch on something. Right. He had locked it. Before her mind was allowed to advance past any other thought than 'Oh shit', the man grabbed her roughly by the hair and slammed her head against the wall before she was launched to a bed that she hadn't seen upon initially entered the room. He quickly straddled her before she was able to sit up and started tearing at some bed sheets, forming long, tendril-like strips, wasting no time in tying her wrists together and, ultimately, to the cast iron bed frame. "Always liked my women a little… feisty." He growled, tightening the torn sheet and earning an involuntary squeak from the girl. He grinned at such an innocent noise and began pawing at her jeans. Even through fits of relentless kicking and twisting he was finally able to remove them. He looked over to Maka with one last triumphant smirk as she tried to cross her legs in a final, desperate attempt. She faintly heard something break outside, but paid it no mind. What those drunken bastards broke was none of her concern. The man wedged a knee between her thighs, all the while taking in her innocent, pleading, frightened face. He continued to look at her, without moving for a while. Had he stopped? Did his non existent conscience decide to kick in?
No.
None of that.
She looked down to see a machete protruding from his belly and his dingy white shirt being stained crimson.
"YAHOO!" Blackstar screeched, earning the attention of just about everyone in the clearing. "Listen to your god mere mortals! Praise me!"
"Oi! Over here you drunken bastards!" Though Staz's yell wasn't as loud and impressive as the blue haired ninja's, it still got their interest.
Though it started the minute Blackstar yelled 'yahoo', the plan had already seemed to be going perfectly. Blackstar and Staz were to cause a distraction, fending off anyone that tried to stop them, while Soul and Kid searched for Tsubaki and Maka. After barging in on two makeshift bars, the two boys finally made it to a small, rundown cabin filled with women of all ages, including a hysteric Tsubaki.
"W-What's wrong?" Soul asked, unsure of what to say to the sobbing weapon.
"Where's Maka?" Kid said with a voice somewhere between breathless and a growl.
"I-I don't know! They brought her here first, a-and then they took her-"
"Where?! They took her where?!" The reaper demanded, his voice coming out far harsher than he had intended. But time was definitely of the essence, and they were quickly running out of it.
"I don't know!" She sobbed again, feeling utterly useless.
With that, Kid was on his feet and out the door, throwing words behind him. "Take care of Tsubaki and help Blackstar, I'll find Maka."
Frantic, Kid stormed in just about every building he passed searching for the blonde; but to no avail. Just as he was about to break down in absolute hysteria, he came to a locked door. This was both a good sign as well as a very bad. Not even worried about over doing it, Kid took a few steps back and charged the door, ramming into it with far more force than necessary to break down the fragile wood. He only saw darkness at first; but his breath caught as his glowing golden gaze came to the scene in the corner. He was pretty sure he felt his heart stop, but after that, blackness.
Maka simply watched in horror as the man who had just been living two seconds before, the man who had forced himself on her, who intended to rape her, was now dead and sliding off the end of a machete. Sliding off of it and on top of her. Her body completely tensed, unable to move simply due to shock… No, this wasn't just shocked, she was absolutely and utterly terrified. Horror-struck. There was simply no words to describe body was quickly pulled off of her and onto the floor by her rescuer; all she saw after that was a dark mass hovering over it, stabbing it repeatedly. In the chest. In the stomach. In the groin. In the arm. In the face. Stroke after stroke the body was being turned to minced meat right before her very eyes. Killing him was one thing; shredding a body was another. The distinct sucking sound of the knife entering and exiting the bloody mess made Maka's stomach turn. It was only when the blonde caught sight of the white and red stained lines that she realized who it was. "K-Kid, he's dead." Her voice was weak; weaker than she had ever heard it before.
"Fucking. Bastard. Piece of. Shitty. Garbage. Fucking. Filthy Asshole." She heard his growl sadistically. She scrambled back to the corner and let out a startled squeak as her back hit the wall. She was honestly terrified of Kid, she had never, ever, seen him like this. It was simply not heard of. It was like watching Barney drop the f bomb on national television, except all comedic aspects were lost.
Maka's squeak, however, made the deranged boy look up from his slaughter and turn his attention to her. She caught a flash of hatred and bloodlust in his eyes before they turned back to their normal, soft, liquid golden colored gaze. Without a second to spare, Kid threw his weapon down were it landed with a loud clank and ran to her, certain his feet couldn't carry him fast enough. Devoid of any hesitation, he scooped her up from her fetal position and into his arms.
"Shh- Maka it's ok, I'm so sorry- It's over- he's gone- your ok now- I'm here, I'm so so sorry." He held her tight and spoke as if the words couldn't come out of his mouth fast enough. Her breath came out in choked sobs which added to the tears that she didn't know had been falling down her face until now. With the sobs came fits of coughing and uncontrollable shivers. Maka was utterly repulsed with herself; since when had she become such a cry baby? She ushered the demeaning thoughts of herself from her head and grabbed fistfuls of Kid's now bloodstained jacket. She vaguely felt him rest his chin a top her head when she realized something.
"U-Uhm… K-kid?" She muttered through her muffled snivels. Her face heated as she felt him rub her back, trying to comfort her, all the while keeping her confined in a comfortable death grip. "C-can I put my jeans back on?" She mumbled, her face flushing brilliantly as she attempted to cover up her panties with her shirt.
"O-Oh, yes. Of course, of course." He muttered, turning the other direction as she went to retrieve her discarded article of clothing; she was pretty sure his face was burning just as bad as her own.
That was a bit… dark. I don't know if that was a good thing or bad, but all I know is that it was necessary… Sorry about the shorter chapters lately, it just how the story is moving right now. Sometimes it feels right to have a longer chapter, some times it feels right to have a shorter one. It all depends on what happens next.
Replies~!
Jeager's Paradise- Yeah, again, I do apologize for it being rushed… And yes! No one messes with Maka when Kidd and Soul are around, shit will simply hit the fan XD
PenSketch- Some freakin' sick people out there *shakes head* Aaaaaand…. Kidd to the rescue!
Chocolateapples1432- Thank you! And Kidd will kick all sorts of ass (or stab them to a bloody pulp like he did just now o.e) And theres a bit of bittersweet fluff there towards the end… Kinda… Sorta… ish? OH NOE! Don't die on me! D:
S1T2A3R4- And so I shall.
Checkered Brooke- I was going to have them sneak… But there is simply no sneaking with Blackstar XD I even wrote half the chapter where they were sneaking around, but even then he seemed INCREDIBELY ooc, so I just did this, the 'ole decoy method.
"Or are you going to let her get assaulted a little bit first?" I swear I'm not a sadist! XD But I sort of needed that to happen…
Hawkllama- I wish I could've had Maka kick some ass, because trust me, writing Maka power is awesome, but I needed Kidd to save her, plus, they beat the living crap out of her while she was unconscious, so no Maka power for the moment :/
Shell-Kun- I'm sorry! It just felt right to end it there… Some chapters will just be shorter than others :/
Sidney Isabella- Okey dokey, will do! And thank you!
XxDeathTheKid4EverxX- I don't really have a pattern, I just upload them when I've finished the chapter after it. It's actually amazing that I even update as often as I do, but unfortunately, it will take longer sometimes due to school crap XP
SecretFantacs- I think we squared things away through messaging XD
Mikaela- Yus! They finally are! And you guys thought I killed them. Psssshhh, I love Soul too much. He like… My third favorite character. But Blackstar on the other hand….
Khfan12- Unfortunately, I really don't know much about Soul's brother because I've only really watched the anime. Though I am currently reading the manga, I'm like on chapter 30, so I haven't even gotten to that part.
RosesInThe Shade- Well, I think Kidd has his end of things covered O.e But the Blackstar and Soul scenes will be in the next chapter ^^
Courage-Earthworm'8- Hahahahaha 'Kidd! Go save your princess!' that really got me. I just literally started laughing (its like 2 am) and woke my dog up. She's pissed at me now XD And yus! The peanuts!
Juvieyumi2500- Whatcha sorry for? No need to be sorry! You were just asking a question ^^ Hope you liked the chapter!
