Loves Symmetry

Chapter 4

(Maka)

"Hey Maka, what's with all the food?" Soul pestered.

Maka smiled, "I invited the gang over to hang out, so I'm making some rice balls and sushi." Soul scoffed, "Boring...you should've made noodles instead."

An anger vein popped on Maka's head, "Then next time YOU cook!"

Soul smirked before he mooched a rice ball and went into the living room. The young Scythe Meister sighed as she went back to cutting fish and shaping the rice. Everyone was going to be here, even Crona, though she was still trying to determine if Crona was a girl or a boy. Everyone assumed that Crona was a boy so everyone left it at that.

'I wonder if Kid's going to show up...'

Maka blushed at that thought and nearly cut her finger with the knife. "Ah...what am I thinking that for?!? Kid and I are just friends..." She murmured to herself.

Soul popped his white haired head around the kitchen door, "Hey, how long is it gonna take?"

Maka glared, "It WOULD be nice if you helped."

"Nah, you're doing a bang up job, yourself."

"Jerk."

"Boobless spoiled brat."

Maka slammed the knife down on the cutting board and pulled out a book, 'Ok...that's going too far, how dare he tease me about THAT!?!?'

She approached Soul who was snickering uncontrollably, then abruptly stopped when he saw the iciness in Maka's gaze and the large bound book in her hand. "Uh...Maka? What are you doing with that book?" Maka frowned angrily and brought the book down on his head.

"MAKA CHOP!"

"OWWWW!!!"

*Knock, knock*

Maka sighed and put down her book, "I'll get it." Soul rubbed his head ruefully as he watched her answer the door.

"YAHOO!! Black Star is in the house!!!"

"Hi Maka!"

Maka smiled warmly, "Hey Black Star, hi Tsubaki, come on in." Black Star rushed in and did a backflip as he landed on the sofa. His spiky electric blue hair stayed in place as he got settled. Tsubaki walked in with more dignity and quietly sat next to her Meister.

Soul smiled and high fived Black Star, "Hey man...how ya been?"

"AWESOME!! Tsubaki ate her third soul yesterday! How many do YOU two have?"

"Twenty..."

Black Star frowned as he calmed down, "Show off." Tsubaki smiled lovingly at him, "Oh Black Star, you should really calm down." Her Meister blushed a bit when he looked at her. "Yeah, yeah."

*Knock, Knock*

Maka rushed to the door and opened it. "Hi Crona! I'm so glad you could make it!"

Crona shuffled in shyly, his eyes shifted around the room warily, his purple hair shined. Crona froze once his eyes came in contact with Tsubaki and Black Star. "There are so many people here; I don't know how to deal with this."

Suddenly, his weapon, Ragnarok exploded from his back. Ragnarok was half the size he used to be, though his power and annoyance was still the same.

"HEY! COME ON CRONA! You denied me human souls for so long! If you don't have fun at this party and make me feel happy, I'll stick thumbtacks in your pillow while you sleep at night. Hee, hee won't THAT be fun?"
