Disclaimer: The Soul Eater characters are so amazing that I wouldn't be able to own them.
"So, how is daddy doing?" Maka smiled at Medusa's confused look, making the green eyed girl chuckle. "He's under your command, maybe you know him better as Spirit." Maka heard Soul gasp behind her. The thought of him being so shocked made her chuckle once again.
"Y-you're spirit's daughter?..." The witch besides Medusa asked. She kind off looked like a frog, which made sense since she was a witch of course.
"Correct, and you must be Eruka Frog, if I'm not mistaken." The girl with pigtails answered. She looked at the frog lady and saw how shocked she was. Maka laughed and grabbed her stomach while closing her eyes, also letting her guard down. She knew it was a bad idea to make the first move so she would just let Medusa start the fight. As expected, Medusa pulled out a little knife, almost half the size of Maka's blade.
"Maka watch out!" The silver haired boy shouted, who had been watching Medusa closely to see if she made any nasty moves. He saw Maka dodging the attack Medusa threw at her. "She really is Spirit's daughter... Only he could pull that move off." The boy thought in shock.
"Medusa look out!" The frog lady croaked. Maka smirked, looking down at the floor. She swung her blade at Medusa making her lose her balance. This was where Soul jumped in, noticing the sneaky attack of Eruka coming from a mile away. He blocked Eruka's sword attack with his single gun, protecting Maka. Medusa, who was still laying on the ground, tried to tackle the pigtailed girl but it was no use. Maka saw it coming and jumped away, bumping into Soul. The silver haired boy almost fell but Maka was fast enough to grab his hand and pull him up before he hit the ground. The moment they touched something magical happened, it was like a bond between two souls. Maka glanced at the boy and felt like she wasn't alone anymore.
"I've got you now!" The mad voice of Medusa sounded, pulling them both out of there trance. The witch was standing again and was preparing to dash forward towards Maka. Soul noticed it first and jumped in front of Maka. Not able to block, he felt the knife of Medusa going from his left shoulder to his right hip. He groaned in pain falling to the ground. Maka saw her only friend laying in a puddle of his own blood.
"S-Soul!" she screamed in panic, looking angry at the smirking witch who was clearly enjoying this moment. Medusa pulled out a small ball, throwing it on the ground. "A smoke bomb, how pathetic." Maka thought, coughing while she couldn't see anything anymore. After a few seconds the smoke was all gone, revealing an empty, dark alleyway.
"M-Maka..."Soul whimpered in pain. Maka kneeled down besides him, grabbing his cold hand.
"Don't you fucking die on me now Soul! Y-you promised me you'd be careful!" Maka cried. She was going to make Medusa pay for this! The pigtailed girl tried to pick the boy up. His silver hair now almost entirely coloured crimson because of his own blood. After a few failed attempts she finally succeeded at picking him up. She started to walk out of the dark alleyway, into the quiet neighbourhood.
*In the hospital, 2 hours later.*
Maka was sitting on a chair in the hospital room, Her hands covering her face. She sobbed a bit but tried to keep it down, since there was another patient in the room next to Soul's. She felt like it was all her fault... no... She knew it was her fault. If she hadn't let her guard down none of this would've happened! "Now he's going to hate me...forever...my only friend would hate me." The girl thought.
"M...Maka..." The sound of Soul's voice made her head pop up. He smiled at her weakly. Maka stood up, quickly brushing away her tears. She walked to Soul's bed and grabbed his hand, her thumb rubbing the back of it. Her usual cold face was covered in pain, a single tear running down her cheek. The pale boy moved his left hand towards her face, slowly wiping away the tear.
"Don't worry, I'm going to be fine..." He whispered in a weak voice. This made her cry even more. She quickly recovered and dried her own tears off. She let go of his now warm hand to bring the chair over to his bed. She sat down and grabbed his hand again, making him smile.
"Why...Why did you do it?" She asked softly while her bangs covered her eyes.
"I didn't want you to get hurt..." He answered with a small smile on his pale face. This made her look up, right into his ruby coloured eyes. emerald met ruby. She broke the connection and looked down.
"I didn't want you to get hurt either..." She said softly. "Y-you better get some rest, the doctor said that you can go home tomorrow." She stood up, wanting to leave the room when Soul said her name.
"Maka... please stay..." She turned around to see a concerned look on the silver haired boy's face. She returned to her seat and grabbed his hand again.
"I will..." She said.
