"Maka, we have been going around in circles around the whole block. Maybe we should stop and ask if anyone has seen them." Soul asked as he yanked on her hand to stop her.
That's when they heard it.
Pops door flew open and Tsubaki ran out of there.
"Tsubaki!" Maka called out letting go of Soul's hand and running over to throw her arms around the running weapon, stopping her in the middle of the streets.
"Tsubaki! What's wrong?" Maka asked her a worried look passing through her face.
Tsubaki gulped and looked up at her with a terrified look on her face. "The Star Clan." She murmured.
Maka froze and stared up at her. "What are you talking about?" she asked her.
"I thought he had gotten that tattoo for the heck of it, he never told me he was born with it… all this time." Tsubaki began to hyperventilate.
"Tsubaki, get a hold of yourself! What is going on?" she asked her, shaking her a little bit.
Tsubaki looked Maka in the eyes. "The Star Clan is back… I have to warn my family." She whispered.
Maka was confused. "What?" she asked.
"Maka, my family assisted the DWMA with the clearing of the Star Clan. I was a weapon of a Star Clan member Maka… I fell in love with one of them! My head is going to roll for this." She muttered.
Maka took a few steps away from Tsubaki, blinking in astonishment. "Tsubaki…" she muttered and then shook out of her daze. "I respect you, you know that right." She started as she slowly wrapped her arms around Tsubaki's waist.
"Maka?" she muttered.
"You are a good friend, and now, I'm going to repay you for all that you have done for me in the past. Just remember that word of the Star Clan may not go out." She whispered in her ear.
"Maka?" Tsubaki said again, a bit of an edge in her voice.
Maka stepped away from her and grabbed onto her hand. "Follow me, I have to give you a few things before you go." Maka muttered, pulling her back towards her house, Soul silently following them.
Maka rushed to her bedroom, she didn't know how long she had to get Tsubaki out of there, so she had to make this quick.
"Soul, you stay here with Dagger while I go and drive Tsubaki to the airport, I'll be back in an hour." Maka growled as she reached under her bed to grab a shoe box filled with her allowance that she has been collecting since she was little.
"Maka… are you sure this is a good idea. She knows." Soul murmured, going to close the door so that no one could see that Tsubaki was with them.
"She's my friend, I don't want her dead." Maka hissed.
"But if she escapes, what will they do to you for betraying them?" Soul asked her. "You have to think this through Maka." Soul told her as he leaned against the door.
Tsubaki's eyes widened when she put one and one together. "But… Maka would never join the Star Clan. Maka, tell me he's joking." Tsubaki said and her heart completely stopped when she saw the star tattoo on the back of Maka's neck. "Maka… why?" she asked.
Maka stayed quiet and she dumped out all her twenties on the bed.
Dagger let out a whistle when he saw all the cash. "Dinner time." He muttered standing up.
"It's not for you, it's for Tsubaki. She needs to go back to Death City in the first flight out of here." Maka growled, picking them up one by one to form one nice stack of money and then standing up and handing them to Tsubaki.
Tsubaki looked down at Maka, her eyes gone cold. "Maka… you do know that I'm going to tell my family and the DWMA about this right?" Tsubaki asked.
Maka looked into Tsubaki's eyes. "And I'll be ready. Just give me a chance to connect with the rest of the family." Maka said and walked around her to open the door. "I'll give you Jared's car keys. If you hurry, you should make it to the airport before Pops has the chance to tell the others."
-Page Break-
"Tsubaki!" Black*Star called out as she ran out of the house.
Pops grabbed Black*Star by the collar and yanked him back. Pops was absolutely seething. "Why the hell did you not tell me that she was a Nakatsukasa?" Pops growled.
"Let me go." Black*Star growled.
"Why the hell would you have her as a weapon?" Pops growled as he threw Black*Star to the other side of the room.
Black*Star hit the wall with a thud; he let out a pained groan and winced when he hit the ground.
Pops pulled down the sleeve that he had rolled up earlier to show Tsubaki what they were. "Her family is the one that brought down your father and his side of the Clan." Pops growled. "Have you no dignity boy?" Pops growled pulling Black*Star back up only to turn around and throw him across the room once more.
Black*Star hit the other wall and fell onto a nearby table, trying to keep his groans of agony inside.
"Is this why you never wanted me to meet her? Huh? Because she's the fucking enemy?" Pops shouted at him, not being able to control himself any longer.
Black*Star was having trouble breathing; he got up and started to crawl for the door.
"Get up Black*Star. You're just like Jared when he was your age, weak, but I was able to make him a man, I was able to make him stronger, he had to go through worse things than you." Pops growled. "I'm gonna call the others and have that weapon of yours killed. One less to worry about." Pops growled as he stomped off into the other room.
"Have to warn Tsubaki." Black*Star muttered as he got up, painfully slow and quietly left the house, trying to look for Tsubaki.
"Black*Star!" Maka exclaimed as she walked out Jared's car, Tsubaki following her.
Black*Star looked over and walked over to them, his hand clutching his torso, thinking that he might have a broken rib.
"Tsubaki, I need to talk to you." Black*Star called out walking in their direction as fast as he could.
"Black*Star take care of Tsubaki." Maka muttered, handing him the money and the keys and giving him a small hug before pushing him into the passenger seat of the car. Maka looked over at Tsubaki and was about to say something but she was interrupted.
"Maka! Get away from the enemy!" Carlo called out, hanging up on Pops and tucking his phone in his pocket, closing the door of his house behind him.
Tsubaki looked at Maka. "I'll be back soon for you." she whispered, tears in her eyes as she quickly jumped into the driver's seat, taking the keys from a surprised Black*Star and took off.
Carlo growled, his hand turning into a grappling hook and he flung it before the car went too out of range. The hook crashed through the drivers side of the window and almost hooked onto Tsubaki.
A shot run in the car and Dagger howled in pain, retracting the bleeding hook. "God damn it Black*Star." He growled as the car turned the corner.
"Carlo!" Maka called out, running over to him, her legs starting to wobble.
"Get Frank, he's the doctor of the clan." Carlo said through clenched teeth as the grappling hook turned back into his arm. There was a glowing bullet slowly vanishing from the little cave it left in Carlo's arm.
"I'll get Pops, I don't know where Frank lives." She muttered running towards Pops house.
Tsubaki was staring straight ahead not bothering to brush off the broken glass. "What was that?" she murmured.
Black*Star looked up at her. "Tsubaki… I'm a weapon." He muttered as the shot gun turned back into his arm.
