A/N: Be sure to read the A/N at the end! The ending of this story might just depend on it!
"Now all we have to do is wait for Pops." Jared said as he set the two suit cases on the bed. "I'm going to go watch the end of the game." He mumbled as he stepped out of the room, leaving behind Soul and Dagger.
"You know, if one of my friends had passed away I would be depressed." Dagger said with a small shrug and leaned against the wall, stretching out his hand so that he could look at his nails.
Soul stayed quiet as he grabbed a note book that was on the desk. Flipping through it, he saw that it was a blank one and he grabbed a pencil and randomly started to doodle on a page. "You don't have any friends Dagger." Soul grumbled not looking up from the note book.
"True… but you do. Why didn't you react the way anyone else would?" Dagger asked as he pushed himself off of the wall and went to sit on the desk chair.
"Why the sudden interest in me?" Soul asked him, looking up at him from the note book.
"I'm bored and I have nothing better to do, and I don't feel like pulling some sort of prank on you right now." Dagger mumbled, letting out a small yawn. "It's too late for that kind of shit." He grumbled.
Soul rolled his eyes and continued drawing. "Do you really want to know why I didn't start crying like a little girl?" Soul asked.
"You could cry like a little girl now." Dagger suggested.
"So you could make fun of me? No thanks." Soul mumbled. "Look, to put it simple, I try not to get too attached to anyone okay. Tsubaki was a good friend, yes, but friends come and go. I learned that the hard way." Soul said.
"What about this Maka chick? It seems you're pretty attached to her." Dagger said leaning back in his chair.
"She's the only exception." Soul answered.
"You said that friends come and go… what do you mean by that?" Dagger asked.
"Did you always want to be a therapist or is this a new thing for you?" Soul asked.
"It's just something to keep boredom at bay." Dagger said throwing his legs over the arm of the desk chair so that he could curl into the back of the chair. "Answer the question." Dagger grumbled.
"I haven't told anyone about my past, what makes you think I'll tell you?" Soul asked.
"Because we have about an hour left to kill before this 'Pops' guy comes to pick Jared up." Dagger said.
"I'm not going to tell you." Soul said.
"What are you drawing?" Dagger asked.
"Nothing." Soul grumbled, burying his face into the notebook.
"That is where you're wrong; the correct answer would be scribbles. The pencil is moving around on the paper." Dagger said after making an annoying buzzard noise.
Soul sighed and held up the notebook so that he could see his drawing.
"The woman that walked in earlier?" Dagger asked, sitting upright in the chair as he grabbed the note book and let out a low whistle.
"A bit more respect for the fallen, Dagger." Soul growled, snatching the note book away.
"What are you talking about?" Dagger asked sinking back into his poor posture.
"This is how I cope when I lose someone important." Soul grumbled.
"That's her? You draw the people that die?" Dagger asked.
"You wouldn't understand." Soul grumbled again as he worked to finish his drawing of Tsubaki.
"Try me." Dagger said.
Soul sighed and looked up from my drawings. "I draw them so that I wouldn't forget about them when I move on in life. They won't be able to hold me back and I'll still be able to remember them. This is my way of saying good bye." Soul explained.
Dagger blinked. "You're right, I didn't understand."
"Told you." Soul said as he went back to his drawing. "The reason I tried not to over react when I found out that Tsubaki died was because I don't want to be weak in front of the Star Clan. Do you understand that type of reasoning?" Soul asked him.
"Now that one is more understandable." Dagger agreed. "I need a beer." Dagger said under his breath. "Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Soul asked him, looking up from his drawing.
"It's been going on for hours; I think it just might be me." Dagger said.
"No, I hear it too, a beeping noise right?" Soul asked.
"Yeah." Dagger responded.
"It's coming from you." Soul said and then an idea occurred to him. "Didn't Justin say he was going to put a tracker on you because you usually skip out on the detentions you get?" Soul asked.
"Yeah. What's your point?" Dagger asked him.
"Did he give you something before we were kidnapped?" Soul asked.
"Yeah! He gave me this awesome watch! Want to see it?" Dagger asked, completely forgetting about the beeping noise.
Soul looked at him in shock but shook himself out of it. "Sure, let me see it." he said, putting his pencil down and holding out his hand.
Dagger took off the watch that was attached to his wrist and held it in front of Soul. "See with your eyes, not your hands." He said.
Soul rolled his eyes and snatched the watch away from Dagger.
"Hey!" Dagger exclaimed.
"You really are an idiot." He grumbled as he played around with the watch until he pressed a button that flipped open to reveal a screen, an angry looking Mr. Law on it.
"About time!" he growled. "What took you two so long?"
"This idiot thought you would give him a present for no real reason." Soul explained.
"I told him that it was a communicator and a tracking device. My god, I need to put that boy in special classes." Mr. Law grumbled.
"Hey!" Dagger exclaimed.
"Anyways, you guys are on enemy territory, I already told Lord Death and he said that you guys are going to be our spies. So that means you have to get on their good side."
"What's going on?" Soul asked.
"The Star Clan is planning an attack on the DWMA. The DWMA received this information from the Nakatsukasa family. They said that their daughter died giving them the information so they demanded that every mission be dropped and that we concentrated on taking down the Star Clan to avenge their daughter's death. Lord Death thought it was a bit drastic, but this is a big case so he decided that half of the cases be dropped so that more time would be spent on the Star Clan mission. This decision included our school, so you guys are a big part of this mission."
Soul sat quietly, absorbing the information… Tsubaki sacrificed herself… Maka's the enemy… Spies… betrayal. "This is way too much drama for me." Soul murmured.
"Soul, pay attention! About the whole Blair thing. I found a spell that could actually get my daughter back, I still need to find Blair, but knowing how she is when she is obsessed over something, I suggest you watch your back." Mr. Law warned.
Soul nodded at him.
"Soul, I think it would be best if you wore the watch instead of Dagger. You won't ignore my calls." Mr. Law grumbled.
Dagger huffed and sank into the chair even further.
"I have to go finish up a few things. I'll call later, and you guys better answer." Mr. Law said shutting down his own watch and turning in his office chair to look at the piles of spell books. "Don't worry, I'll save you soon enough." He mumbled, his daughter in his mind as he opened up the first book his hand landed on and began to read.
Soul sighed as he closed the watch and wrapped it around his wrist. "If only I hadn't slept with Blair." He murmured, letting his hands go up to comb through his hair as he fell back on the bed.
"Now this is a story I want to hear." Dagger said, sitting up in his chair.
Jared knocked on the door and poked his head in. "You guys, come on, Pops waiting outside. He'll be the one to decide whether or not you could see Maka and Black*Star." Jared said, walking in to grab the suit cases and walk out, not waiting for the two boys to follow him.
A/N: What do you guys think? Should Soul have a past that comes back to haunt him, or do you guys think that this story has enough drama and just leave Soul's past as a mystery? The whole drawing scene was a huge hint towards his past that I have planned for him, but it seems like most of you think that there is enough drama in this story. I want to make my readers happy, so I'm letting you guys decide on this one. I need every single one of you guys to vote! For a few chapters, I'm going to be talking more about Maka than Soul, so that gives you guys a bit more time to vote. Put your vote in a review, or PM me, it doesn't matter as long as it gets to me so that I can count it. ^.^ Even though only about three of you guys review, there are about a hundred of you guys that read this story! None of you review! Why? You guys do know that even if you aren't a member of FanFiction, you could still review right?
By the way, sorry if the beginning of this chapter was a bit awkward. Soul and Dagger are going to be stuck together for a while longer whether they like it or not… and they don't. XD So I'm trying to get them to at least get used to being in each other's company.
