Loves Symmetry

Chapter 2

Soul perked his ears at a sound and looked around. "Hey...you hear that?"

Maka was adjusting her pigtails and wasn't really paying attention. She wore her normal long jacket which was draped over her usual school uniform.

"Hey stupid, pay attention."

Maka glared at her partner, "Oh shut up. You know I hate looking lopsided." She finished fixing her hair and sighed, "All right, what's wrong?" Soul huffed, "Nothing with me, but I thought I heard screaming from Death Manor."

Maka turned her head to look at the large estate, it was still far away, but it was almost large enough to block out that creepy moon with the bloody smile.

"Probably just Kid having another one of his symmetry rants."

Soul grinned, showing off his unnaturally sharp teeth, "Heh, yeah. That boy rants so much it makes me wonder if he PMS's." Maka frowned, "Hey, you don't have to be mean, you know? He must get pretty lonely in that place all by himself."

"Haha, you sound like you have a crush on him."

"I DO NOT!"

"Hahaha, you and the 'perfect' reaper! Ha!"

Maka's face flushed, but she calmed down long enough to pull out a middle sized green book from her coat. "Maka...CHOP!"

She slammed the book down on Soul's head, causing the boy to drop to the floor face first, a thin upward stream of blood came from the back of his head. "Ow...why do you always hit me with that damn book of yours?!?"

She stuck her tongue out at him, "Because you made a horrible assumption."

"Like how you did with me and Blair?"

"That's different."

"Oh, because she's hot and has boobs?"

"Maka...CHOP!"

——Back at home——

Maka and Soul flopped on the sofa and exhaled. Soul stretched and folded his arms behind his head, "God, we were just training and I'm exhausted...uncool."

"Things are lively because of the Kishin, you know that."

"Yeah...damn Blackstar, he messed it up."

Maka frowned, "We all failed, so it's our duty to get the Kishin and assist Lord Death more than ever. New Kishin eggs are popping out left and right." She sat straight, "Which reminds, me, how many souls do you have so far?"

"Twenty."

Maka sighed and checked her watch, "Still a long way. Well, I'm going to go to the market, what do you want for dinner?"
