Connected || Soul x Maka

chosen

Maka thought long and hard for what she wanted to do. She loved books just as how Soul told her, she liked school but it felt like it was slowly burning her out. They haven't been on a mission in a month either. Things were peaceful in death city for the most part

"Maka you are being summoned by lord death"

"Alright, I'll be there right away" Maka said, she grabbed her papers and headed for the death room

I wonder if it's a mission

"Lord death Maka reporting"

"Yes hello Maka, thank you for coming. I'll get right to the chase. Are you happy here?"

The question stunned her confused to why he would ask her that.

"Y-yes I am lord death. If you don't mind me asking what made you ask me that"

"I know you have not been in a mission in a while, and now Soul has taken another path. I know you are both an item and he's no longer your weapon. You have been nothing but loyal to this school and to me working hard and fighting for what is right.

I had told Soul before as well, you are at your prime of your youth and self discovery. So I ask if you're happy here to see if you truly want to stay here"

Maka was surprised to the conversation she was having with him. She didn't know what to say either

"I know in my right mind that I love this school and all of the students I have guided to be great miesters"

"But what does your heart tell you?"

"I want to continue.. I want to continue to be a miester. I have gone through a lot, I have gone through a lot. But my heart is set in being a miester"

"Even after all you have been through?"

"Yes I am happy protecting people and the people I love. I miss fighting with Soul but I want to move forward as a miester even without him"

"It has also come to my attention you're a weapon yourself am I correct?"

"Yes, I am but I chose to be a miester"

"Become a death weapon"

"What?"

"If you become a death weapon you can still lead others, you will have both the experience of a weapon and a miester. Besides we have many people who are weapons and work on their own, but since you like to work with people and you do it so well why not become stronger in both fields"

"Well I guess I could do that"

"That's great, and as the lord death I will relocate you as well"

"Relocate?!"

"Yes there are plenty of people here. We are actually a little too full and have many waiting for an opening in both as professors, assistance and students. Therefore if you continue this path of turning into a death weapon and continue to fight along with others both as a miester and weapon you would need to relocate"

"But where?"

"Japan"

"Japan!?"

"I understand it is very far from here but if you turn this offer down I understand. You will continue here as an assistant unless you find something else you enjoy."

Maka stood quietly

"Maka I am not giving you an ultimatum or some sort of final decision of what you need to do. You are a dearest friend of my son and your group of friends have made a great impact in this school and city. I care about you as if you were my own, I am looking out for your happiness.
