Soul Eater: Madness of the Raven

Without you: Soul's desperate resolve

A sound soul dwells within a sound mind as well as a sound body

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Soul's POV)

" Soul."

"Soul!?"

"Soul?"

"Soul!"

"Soul; Thank you for that"

"KKKKKKYYYYYYYAAAAAAA. AHHHHHH. AHHH. AH. Ah" Out of all things I remember......why is that damn scream the clearest?!

   Oh yeah, I remember. I was to much of a weakling to save her from getting her ribs shattered to bits! Oh Gods, no wonder Lord Death let her go in alone to find some Zephyrus warlock. But even though he didn't say it I know why; Maka doesn't need me anymore. Yup. She unlocked some weapon crap from her old man and can slice up anyone almost as good as I can.

Its been almost 3 years since Maka left. She's probably 18 now. While I'm stuck home everyday staring at the door. Sure I go back to the DWMA, but there's really no point. This is so uncool. I'm a total wreak! The only reason I still live in our apartment is because of Maka's old man. He's the one paying all the bills. Blair.......doesn't really come home that often. Black just hit his growth spurt and now we can finally see eye to eye. Liz and Patti sigh alot and look outside so.........nothing unusual there. Kid, though, is fucked big time. He starting to manage Death City by his own. So 7-Elevens beware! Also he's been going on a lotta dates, trying to find someone to "protect." So it's just me and the door..........oh fuck.

   Even this place seems depressing. I could still smell her warm vanilla scent seeping though her untouched room. My stomach started to beg for food, jolting me back to reality. Another fucked up thing about Maka leaving, no more quality food. She always used to make my favorite, pot roast, when I got deper-Shit! There I go again. Groaning, I get up from the couch and look though our refrigerator. Shit, guess its ramen again tonight. I take it out and get the water to boil. Then pour it in the cup and let it sit. As I lean against the counter I thought about the day she left.

  She had tears streaking down her pale pink skin. Her old man had to be tranquilized. She said goodbye to everyone and saved me for last. I could still see her. Wringing her gloved hands and shifting foot to foot in her black boots. And hearing her sweet voice.

"Soul, I'm sorry but since Lord Death set up the truce we need to find Zephyrus. I-I'll come back as soon as pos-" And that's when I really hugged her. All the other times were quick and hardly had any emotion at all, but not this one. I could almost feel her small body in my arms. Now that was cool. Probably even better. And those slender arms wrap around my waist to hug back. She smelled so damn good. We stayed like that till Maka's flight to London was giving it's last call.

I cursed the plane in every word I knew for taking her away. But as I was staring at her jacket-clad back I felt this twist in my soul. Like it was trying to burst out and go to Maka. And at the same moment she entered that damn plane I knew..........I loved her. And it kills me that, she, even when or if she comes back, doesn't need me anymore.

(Maka's POV)

Oh Gods I miss him. I repeat for the thousandth time. Snow, sensing my depression, raises her eyebrows. Our train bulked and clanked causing her Star of Hakuchō necklace to sparkle in the sun. Snow was wearing her white shoulder less dress, black leather corset, knee-length tights, and black heels that have ribbons wrapped around her long pale legs. I was wearing my red plaid skirt, white tank top, leather jacket that Soul got me one day, now high heeled boots with white buckles criss crossing all over them, and my now waist long pigtails.
