A Permanent Marker? (Soulxreader) :completed:

Back home

     // again...please don't hate me for the previous chapter ^^'

     -/(6. Your Pov .6)\-

The trip home went quick. I was in a daze the whole time, when I wasn't sleeping of course, that would've been creepy. The keishin was dead...so was Soul...my heart ached and I wished I could see his face once again.

From what Maka told me, we had spent another week there and a kind old man took Soul's body and washed the blood off then stitched up the wounds so he would look better at the funeral being held back home. But So far only Lord Death knew of his death.

I dreaded how our friends would react to the news...

Now Maka was dragging me out of the airport. The old man who would be bringing Soul back here won't be here for another few days. " chocolate..." I croaked out, weakly poking Maka. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion for just a second before realizing I wanted a little treat.

She smiled at me and walked to the nearest store. I waited outside with the suitcases. When she came back out I was drawing in a small random patch of sand and rocks. Maka shoved a chocolate bar under my nose, my eyes widened slightly.

I carefully tore the top corners of it off and nibbled on it. I ate while we walked home. " how's the wounds doing?" Maka glanced behind at me. I shrugged slightly, refusing to talk. She sighed and turned around, setting her hand over my stomach.

" you've lost weight..." Maka mumbled, a sad look in her usually bright green eyes. I looked down, she was right. I haven't eaten much for the past week or so. A small sigh escaped my mouth.

Maka let go of her suitcase and hugged me " it hurts to see you like this...". I let her hug me even though people were staring. " home..." I whispered hoarsely, my voice was rough from not being used in a long time.

She let go of me and looked at my scratched up face and arms. " home " she agreed and started to walk again, dragging her suitcase behind her. I still walked with a limp from the gash down my leg. It was worse then it had looked when I got it.

Soon we had reached the apartment. A sense of calm washed over me, I was back home. I took a step in and set my suitcase aside. Suddenly all our friends burst out of random places and yelled "Congratulations on a successful mission!!"

I froze up, my body starting to shake. My (e/c) eyes stared blankly at them. They paused, confused by my reaction. Maka put a hand on my shoulder. I felt tears start streaming down my cheeks.  " (y/n)?" Tsubaki stepped forward, I stepped back. I looked to the banner stuck across walls. It had all of our names on it and giraffe drawings. My eyes rested on Soul's name, it was red and had little music notes decorating it.

Seeing this made me snap, I ran past them as fast as I could into my room. Thankfully it had not been touched by the giraffe ninja. I forgot to stop and hit my knees on the bed frame, I winced and stumbled back.

I shut the door and locked it. My feet carried me back to my bed and I lay down, clutching the blankets close to my chest. Soon I heard a few knocks from the general direction of my door, I had my face pressed against a pillow so I had just guessed.

" (y/n)...". It was Liz. I groaned loudly in reply. I heard a sigh come from the other end then a quiet click. They managed to unlock my door. I curled up in a tight ball under my blankets as quick as I could.

Two people sat down on my bed. " are you alright (y/n)?". Tsubaki was here too? I felt a blast of cold air on my body, they took off my blankets. I scooted back slightly and looked at them. They looked really concerned.

" we're sorry, we didn't mean to make you break down like that. Even Black*star feels bad" Liz sighed again. I nodded slightly and I uncurled myself, sitting up with a hand on my wounded leg. Liz frowned at all the scratches and cuts on my face and arms.

" you guys got really beat up...but I'm sure the keishin ended up worse" Liz chuckled and smiled slightly, tracing her index finger along a cut across my cheekbone. Tsubaki held out a pice of (fav cake flavor :3) to me and a plastic fork.

" we brought cake for you if you want it " Tsubaki said sweetly. I managed to pull off a small smile. I took the cake and fork " thanks...". They nodded and walked to the door " come back out when you are ready~"

As soon as they left I finished my piece of cake and closed the door. I dug out some long green socks and a skirt, then proceeded to take my pants off. My eyes hovered over the bloodied bandage on my leg. It still hurt but not as bad anymore, hopefully we could get it checked out by the nurses at the DWMA tomorrow.

I pulled on my skirt and socks, scowling slightly when I could still see a few small cuts. I opened my door and walked  back to the living room, plopping down next to Maka with another piece of cake. I have to admit I was completely starved, not eating for a week can do that to a girl.

Now that I was back home I have a reason to be happy again....
