Maka wasn't popular at school… at all. If it wasn't for Kilik and Soul and Black*Star, she would be a loner and blend in with the shadows. They were the ones that introduced her to the friends that she knows and loves. There's sweet Tsubaki, paranoid Liz, OCD Kid, and Bi-polar Patti… they were a strange group of friends but they were her friends.
Kilik and Maka walked up the steps of the DWMA when they heard Black*Star. "Oi! Maka's late!" Black*Star yelled out from the entrance, pointing and laughing.
Maka's eyes widened and she quickly checked her watch.
"Maka, it was a joke." Tsubaki said a s she scowled at Black*Star.
Maka let out a small sigh of relief before glaring daggers at Black*Star.
"Chillax Maka, where's Soul?" He asked.
Maka flinched and looked down.
Kilik patted her back and shook his head quickly at Black*Star when Maka wasn't looking.
"Oh, he's with Blair then?" Back*Star asked only to be smacked against the head by Tsubaki.
"Sorry Black*Star." Tsubaki mumbled as she grabbed a hold of his collar and pulled him through the hallways.
"You shall see your god again soon!" Black*Star called out, not bothering to struggle against Tsubaki as she dragged him to class.
"Maka, you don't have to put up with Soul." Kid said as he walked up to her from inside the building having heard Black*Star's rants.
"Where are Liz and Patty?" Maka asked changing the subject.
Kid's eyebrows rose and Maka sighed. "I don't know what's gotten into me, normally I wouldn't be so damn moody… Damn it Soul." Maka growled her hands going to cover her face.
Kilik frowned down at Maka. "Come on, we don't want you to be late for class, I bet that class will get you to stop thinking about Soul." Kilik said as he guided Maka past Kid and into the school.
Maka sighed and looked up, determination hitting her hard. "I'm not going to let him ruin my life… I'm not going to replace him as a weapon… I trust him… it's the fact that he does those things with Blair that bothers me." Maka said but then shook her head. "Bad Maka, bad. Think about science, math, the upcoming test- wait a minute! There's a test last hour!" she exclaimed about to lose her head. She didn't study! "No!" she exclaimed.
Kilik smirked, there's the Maka that everyone knew and loved, they were beginning to miss her.
"Let's skip the first hours and go to the library to study for the test." Kilik said and then looked back to see Kid was about to walk past them. "Hey, could you take notes for us?" he asked him.
Kid smirked but then his smile vanished. "It might not be symmetrical though… but if it'll make Maka happy… I guess I could try." Kid said a slight frown on his face. He could already imagine the imperfect k's and L's… he shuddered in disgust and walked faster to class, the faster this was over, the faster it would be over with.
Maka looked up and let out a small chuckle, shaking her head. "Poor Kid." She muttered.
"Come on, let's go to the library." Kilik said pushing her in that direction.
Soul stepped into the school an hour later and headed for the class room, a huge smile as he slouched into his usual position and entered the class, interrupting Stein.
"Soul Eater-" Stein started but Soul interrupted him.
"Yeah, yeah, to the library, I know." Soul mumbled as he turned his back to the class and went to the library to receive his punishment.
He walked in, his hands buried deep with his pockets as he used his back to push open the doors.
Soul stopped cold when he looked over to see Maka and Kilik arguing with each other over some text books.
Soul could fell something stir inside him but he ignored the feeling as he walked over to them and sat next to Maka. "What are you guys up to?" he asked.
Maka jumped, hurt crossing her features but she quickly recovered and smacked a fake smile on her face. "Studying." She said cheerfully.
Kilik rolled his eyes. "By the way, Maka's moving out." He mumbled as he flipped through some pages of a text book that he had in his hand.
"Ha! She wouldn't do that, right Maka?" Soul asked elbowing his meister stomach.
Maka glared at Kilik. "Kilik, not cool! I was supposed to tell him after I was done packing!" Maka hissed at him.
Soul sat there staring at Maka in shock. "Why are you moving out?" he managed to ask.
Maka sighed. "Kilik could you give us a moment?" she asked him.
Kilik gave her a small smile. "Call me over if he tries anything." Kilik said as he got up.
"I trust him enough, I don't think that'll happen." Maka said with a small nod. "But I appreciate your concern." She said as she reached for a text book and opened it, skimming through it.
Kilik walked to another part of the library, giving them some space.
"Maka… explain." Soul said leaning back in his chair.
Maka peeked up at him through her bangs and frowned, not closing her text book. "Why do you think I'm moving out, I'm giving you three guesses." She said as she flipped a page of the text book.
Soul glared at her. "Is it because I don't clean up after myself?" he asked.
Maka smiled and let out a small chuckle. "Although that bothers me a lot, that's not it. Take another guess." She mumbled.
"Um… I keep calling you tiny tits?" he asked.
Maka's grip on the book tightened as she clenched her jaw, desperately trying not to slam her text book shut and Maka-Chop the guy. "That bothers me too… but no, that's not the reason I'm leaving." She grumbled as she angrily flipped another page, ripping it in the process.
"Maka, just tell me so that I can fix it. We've been living together for years, why do you suddenly want to leave me?" he asked.
Maka bit down on her bottom lips and silently shook her head. She looked up from the text book, slowly closing it and setting it on the table then turning her body in her chair so that she would be able to look at him. "You have one more guess." She whispered.
Soul groaned in annoyance, his hands going up to his face. "Um… Do I play my music too loudly?" he asked.
Maka chuckled. "I guess it does have something to do with noise." She whispered a small blush forming on her cheeks as she looked down at the ground. "Soul… I'm not moving out because I suddenly hate you, no, this was bound to happen. Just because I'm moving out, doesn't mean that I don't want you as a weapon, if you'd like, after I move out, we could still be partners… we'll just have some distance between us." Maka began to explain, but Soul grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look him in the eyes.
"Maka, stop stalling, tell me why you're leaving me." He growled a cold glare in his eyes.
Maka shook her head. "You're selfish you know that?" she mumbled as she took in a deep breath and thought of the ways she could tell him the reason that she's moving out. Her face were turning into all sorts of shades of red. "Um… how do I say this?" she mumbled. "You're too loud." She said not being able to look him in the eyes as she quickly looked down at a text book, grabbed it and opened it, trying to keep her eyes busy.
Soul blinked at her. "I'm too loud? What the hell kind of reason is that?" he growled.
"You didn't get it did you?" she asked him, trying to avoid eye contact.
"What is there to get Maka? You're leaving me for the dumb reason of me talking to loudly." Soul said, pissed beyond belief as his fingers twitched to grab her by the shoulders again and shake some sense into her.
"I-it's not the talking that bothers me, that's fine." She mumbled, not looking up from the text book.
"Maka spit it out. Stop confusing the hell out of me." Soul said letting his head fall down on the table.
Maka sighed, the blush returning to her cheeks. "Um… when you and…. And Blair are… you know… in your room… you tend to be a bit too loud." She whispered looking in the other direction.
Soul froze a blush of his own going to flush his cheeks. He blinked as realization hit him, this was she's been weird around him lately… "Maka, I'm sorry… I, uh, I guess I could try to be more quiet." He mumbled.
Maka let out a small chuckle as she shook her head. "You really are stupid." She said looking him in the eyes.
"What did I say this time?" Soul asked her.
"You don't know the damage you do to me every time that I hear you guys." She said; hurt bubbling up to her eyes.
"What are you talking about Maka?" Soul asked his heart starting to pound in his chest.
Maka sighed and took in a deep breath, trying to calm down her speeding heart. "Soul… I… ever since…" she couldn't say it. She gnawed on the inside of her cheek and reached over the table to grab a pencil and a piece of paper and quickly jotted it down and folded it into a tiny square then handed it to him.
She looked him in the eyes and grabbed his hand. "Do not open this until tomorrow after school. Just keep in mind…. Curiosity killed the cat." She mumbled. "Please leave me alone Soul." Maka whispered, her heart slowly dying as she said those words to him.
Soul looked at her, angered by the lack of information that he had gotten. "You know what? I'm glad you're moving out. You've always been a bitch." He growled before he could stop himself and he mentally slapped himself when he saw the reaction that he had caused.
Maka's hand tightened around the text book she had and her heart died out for a second. Silently she stood up and walked away, not wanting him to see how bad those words affected her.
"Maka, come on. Don't be that way, you know I was just kidding." He said but Maka kept walking forward, her eyes glaring holes on the ground.
"Maka! Watch out!" they heard Kilik yell and they both looked up to see the bookshelf next to them tipping over.
Maka looked at Soul and then back at the book shelf with wide eyes. Her heart thudded against her chest as she pushed him out of the way… but it was too late for her.
The book shelf came crashing down on Maka and she let out an ear splitting scream filled with agony, one that will haunt Soul for the rest of his life as he quickly scrambled to get up and pick up the book shelf, but it was way to heavy.
"Maka!" he yelled out.
There was silence and then Kilik ran over to see Soul trying to pick up the book shelf. "Don't tell me…" Kilik said in shock and he shook his head. "You're supposed to be her weapon! You're supposed to protect her!" he yelled at him as he tried to lift the book shelf but failed.
"I would have if I could have, but she pushed me out of the way before I could do anything!" Soul exclaimed, anger bubbling up in him.
"I'm going to go get Sid. He's stronger than both of us." Kilik said as he ran off to find Sid.
Soul stepped in something wet and looked down… his heart stopped at the sight… blood.
His legs couldn't support him as he fell to the ground, his eyes blurring up with tears as his jaw slacked. "I'm sorry Maka." He whispered and looked at the note that was in his hand.
He shook his head and opened it up.
I love you Soul. It said and the tears slipped out of him as his body began to shake violently.
Wiping away the tears he stuffed the note back into his pocket and worked on getting Maka out of there. "I'm sorry Maka… I'm sorry for hurting you so badly." Soul growled as he managed to somewhat lift the book shelf just when Sid ran over to lift it Kilik sitting there ready to pull Maka out. They didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
