Understand Me

Chapter 5: kishin

Maka's POV:

"Alright Soul, get the motorcycle ready!" I called heading down the apartment parking lot.

"Okay." Soul calls. I join him on the motorcycle and wrap my arms around his waist. He steps on the pedal as the machine rides out into Death City. My hair and coat fly in the wind as we get closer to our next soul.

"Where do we go first!?" Soul yells being muffled a bit by the engine.

"Go to the ally way near by the market and that antique store!" I yell back. The motorcycle makes a few last turns until we finally make it to the first stop. I close my eyes and look for a wavelength. After a bit of analyzing I finally sense the tainted Soul.

"He's not to far away!" I call hoping back onto the motorcycle and point at him to where he needs to go. I feel the kishin's wavelength get stronger and I stop soul from riding any further.

"He's around here, Soul." I demand. He nods and transforms into a scythe. I twirl him in my hands a few times as I feel our resonance get stronger.

Out of nowhere a small yet menacing creature lashes out at us. I block with Soul's blade and turn to examine the beast. It resembled a dog but there where some strange human features like fingers instead of claws. The kishin also had two blood stained blades on each of its hind legs.

I charged at the beast and attempting to get in a first attack but due to its unusual small size it was able to escape in ways normal kishins shouldn't be able to do. It trusted at us twisting its body around preparing to fight I dodged lunging back towards it but instead of escaping the creature quickly turned around exposing the blades. I swing Soul around and try again at slicing it but it jumps towards us and kicks. Soul changes to human form and the one blades penetrate his abdomen and the other his stomach. He falls onto the ground.

"Sorry." Soul says closing his eyes.

"No, no this can't be right! Come back!" Its no use he can't hear my pleads but the kishin does. He runs up to me and delivers a blow near my heart and I collapse on the ground next to them. I lay there losing my conscious as my last thoughts pop in my mind.

Tsubaki was wrong we are an awful pair.

Authors note:
Hey guys! Sorry about that lame and short chapter writing action scenes is not really my strong point. But I hope you still liked this chapter.
