A/N : Sometimes I look back to what I wrote in Middle School and shake my head

Then I look back to what i have recently written, see chances for improvement. But I don't 'cus I don't know how to.

And as I drink my orange juice, I cant help to notice, It tastes kinda Funky. Eww. I should check expiration dates before doing anything.

"Now partner up with somebody and start working on this exercise", yelled Sid as everybody turned to their partner. Maka looked around from her place beside Tsubaki and Black Star and spotted Ox standing beside Kilik, a boy with black hair and red and golden cyclops visor style glasses, and the white haired enigma who had been pushing her buttons lately. Without even knowing it.

Nevertheless, she needed a partner right now to complete the assingment and one of them was going to be left out because she could see the twins, or Kiliks weapons, holding on to his pant legs. She also knew that Tsubaki and Black Star were partners, there was no room for a third wheel. And she sure as hell wasn't about to slack off in her combat training class just because she didn't have a partner. So, she walked towards Kilik and Ox until she was close enough to hear their conversation.

"Maybe you guys can take turns?" Asked Kilik.

"And get electrocuted by him again? No thank you" Huffed Ox crossing his arms and sticking his nose in the air.

Soul tried to keep his temper, but baldy was really trying his patience. Both Ox and Soul were a little weary of partnering up with eachother at first, so they had agreed to test it out. Only to miserably fail when Soul transformed, with some difficulty he was new to this after all, caught by Ox and then immediately thrown to the ground when a bolt of electricity ran through both of them, shocking and hurting both meister and weapon. They had tried it a few more times but the result was the same so they both decided to just give up. Not to mention the pain and burns of the bolts was starting to increase. "Not like you were a walk in the park either." Soul declared.

"It's not my fault that," Ox started to speak as he turned around and saw Maka standing of to the side listening to their conversation. "What do you want?" He questioned staring right at Maka and forgetting his previous statement. Everybody in their small group turned toward Ox's view was centered.

"Oh, Maka, Good to see you! You're just in time!" Kilik exclaimed with a relieved smile on his face and faced the white haired guy again. "You can partner up with her, she's a meister."

Before either could refuse he jogged away to the other side of the room waving his hand, the twins following him. Ox and his companion soon leaving their spots to a wider empty space of the gym, leaving the two to their own devices.

Maka sighed and inspected the boy. He was looking at Ox with an almost annoyed look on his face before he directed his gaze instead at Maka, who was holding her hand out to him with an expectant look on her face. He rose his brow.

"Well?" Announced Maka.

"Well what?" He probably should be doing something by now, but he hadn't been paying attention to the instructor, choosing instead to tune him out and inspect the small gym he was in, so he didn't have an idea of what to do.

She sighed again trying to calm her rising temper, "You're a weapon right? So transform"

Uncertainty crossed his face and he broke eye contact with the blonde to look at floor. This time she raised a brow at his antics and slowly asked, "you do know how to transform . . . right?"

"'Course I do" He replied with a huff, momentarily looking up at her and then once again directing his gaze away from her to the wall, looking slightly less hesitant. "Just not right now."

"What do mean 'not right now'? Why?"

He mumbled something under his breath and she had to ask him to repeat himself.

"It just hurts okay?" He exclaimed a louder this time, "this stuff isn't easy for me and transforming for Ox really took an effort." He crossed his hands getting quieter as he finished his sentence

Once again Maka sighed. This boy, really was just something else . . . or plain stupid. "That's the whole point of this exercise. Use the meisters soul to help, alleviate, and guide the weapon for better efficiency in order to allow better future resonance and performance level." She cited and squinted at him "were you not listening to anything Sid-sensei said?"

"Uh . . . "

She huffed, "you're unbelievable." She held out her hand to him once again and he sighed trying to concentrate while closing his eyes. Even if he had already learned how to transform into a scythe, it was still easier if he closed his eyes, it helped him concentrate better.

She observed him, his hunched form started shining and for a second she was reminded of glowing vampires in the sun. With an almost blinding flash of light, he descended from above Maka to land on her waiting hand and she was a little more than surprised at what she saw.

In her hand sat a scythe. It's blade was a dark crimson and black with a zigzag pattern in the middle of it. The ring of the scythe had a slit shape on it with a circle that almost looked like an eye. She stared at it for a moment, stunned. She knew scythes were rare. Every weapon was rare and individual for that matter. But this, this was just . . . not what she expected really. She HAD been hoping to find a scythe weapon and be a scythe meister like her mama but she knew the chances were very slim. Yet here he was.

"Are you just gunna' stand there all day?"the light in the blade shifted to show the unamused expression of the weapon himself. He was starting to get sore from the earlier events and this did not help his case. Maka snapped out of her thoughts and focused on her partners voice.

Her partner

She tighten her grip on him with both hands. He was surprisingly warm against her bare hands. She lifted her arms above and spun him around. This felt nice, natural even. She closed her eyes and sought his soul for a moment. She felt it close to her and tried reaching for it. For a moment she felt his soul twitch and tense up causing her to stop for a second before he relaxed a bit and let her continue. She could almost feel it, his soul. It gave of a dark aura maybe somewhat creepy, but she didn't stop. She was so close, she knew, just a bout to grasp his wavelength with her own when suddenly, she was thrown back, landing on her back. Her weapon slipping from her hands in the process. She opened her eyes, sat up and saw the white haired male on the floor, a bit surprised by the occurrence.

"Not again" She heard him groan, looking at the floor while running a hand through his snow white hair.

'I guess he's alright.' Maka thought to herself getting up, dusting herself off and walked towards her partner. She offered him a hand and he took it using it as leverage to stand up from the floor.

"Well that was shit" He grumbled.

"Our souls didn't quite connect or touch, but that's normal." She hesitated a bit before continuing. "We just have to keep working on it, right?"

He looked at her surprised and just looked at her for a moment. She was looking of to the side, her cheeks a tinge pink, hair up in pigtails, her fingers fidgeting a bit and he had to admit she looked kind of cute.

"Right," he replied a moment later and smiled at her. Fully aware that he had just commited himself as a weapon to this girl, wether that was a bad or good thing, he didn't know. But that didn't seem to matter to him right now.

She returned his smile. "By the way," she held her hand out to him even though they were past the point of introductions. "Maka" She looked at him straight in the eyes, her smile widening "Maka Albarn"

"Soul," He shook her hand. "Soul Ev-" He paused for a moment contemplating something in his head. "Eater, Soul Eater," he said with a small smirk playing at his lips. He glanced at her from head to toe, "I guess you'll make an okay partner." Because even though he was sure she would make more than an okay partner, it was funny to watch her reaction.

Her eyes widened a bit before gaining a spark, "an okay partner? Who do you think I am?" Because even though she had thought the same thing about him not too long ago, she was considerate enough not to say it out loud. Besides she would make sure that he'd become a great, powerful weapon.

No matter how tough the process would be, they'll make it through.

That was lame. Since when does Soul smile? Since I said so.

Thank you so much reader! All your reviews are freaking welcome! :]
