Resonance (SoMa Fanfic) (Book 1 of 3 in the Resonance series)

Chapter 13

=Blair's POV=

"Of course I do!" I smiled. "I have way too many! Need some for BlackStar?" I ask. "

Yes, BlackStar." Tsubaki said, innnocently. Ya know, she is the only girl who asks for stuff like this so innocently as if she asked for a cookie.

I let her in and swing open my closet. There it is. My green 2-piece, my ticket to a free meal. My teal tight dress, revealing and skimpy. For my classy nights, my ticket to a free drink. "Oh? What's this?" I pick up my scarlet red bra and leggings. My personal favorite. I reminisce, then get to picking a outfit for Tsubaki. Hmmm............ what would she like? 

"Oh! I like this one!" she holds up a metallic purple shirt slit halfway down, along with the light-purple pants, the whole front cut away. "Oh, Tsubaki! I didn't know you'd want something like that!" I smile. "If you want it, it's yours."

"Thank you! BlackStar's gonna love this!" she said. We hugged and she left. But I could've sworn that I heard an evil laugh. 

=Tsubaki's POV= 

"Perfect." I laugh. "Maka couldn't wear this well. She can't wear anything like this. Sorry, Maka. But I won't just stand by and let you take him." I see someone walking down an alley. 

"Wh-who are you?" I said to the man in the shade. 

He stepped out. And the moment he did, I knew I was screwed.

"Tsubaki? I see you want to ruin their Resonance. I'm not deaf, and I'm damn sure I'm not stupid." His crooked head tilted slightly, only like a crazy one would.

"St-stein!" I say, stepping back. "It's not what it looks like! I swear!" I cower. "I just wanted to look nice for the ball next week for BlackStar!" 

"I'm guess you're the special entertainment?" He laughed. "We wouldn't allow that clothing there anyway. Besides, I heard you good and well. Now, give me the bag or else, I'll take it from you." he stared with calm eyes, but you could hear the venom in his words.

I stood.

And stood. Like the terrified person that I was. "Please, no!" 

"Well, I could do a meister switch, to fix the resonance.... but Maka would hate you and BlackStar the same, so that we can rule out. He doesn't love you anymore. Go back to being nice. Please. You could find someone new, twice as quick, guaranteed." He said, hand outstretched to recieve the bag. 

"....................." I was without words, in a situation, defending my right to try to get him back, but i know I'm totally helpless, the feeling cuts like a knife. I couldn't run with my smoke bomb mode. He'd still know the plan. I could kill him, but that's overboard and I would feel guilty for years. I didn't know what to do, so I fell. I fell to my knees and cried. 

"......." he shook his head and sighed, at a standstill and approached to take the bag. 

I let him. 

My last hope. 

And it's gone. 

I just simply let it go. 

"My sincerest apologies, Tsubaki, but we both know it's for the best....." he leaves. 

I walk back to my house, moping, then preparing a cascade of false happiness, to keep BlackStar happy. It hurts. It hurts to even smile. Their bond is inseparable. As if I could stop it. Why does life hate me so much? Why....

=Soul's POV= 

"I thought you were so light! God, was I wrong!" I say, piggyback riding Maka back home as people stare. We didn't care. It's fine by me. 

"Soul, stop complaining!" she said giggling, poking his head and playing with his headband. 

"Ugh...." I silently sigh so I can still hear her cute laugh. 

"We're almost home anyway! Come on, let's go!" she said in a cheery tone. 

I pick up a little speed and go home to see Crona, drained of energy. 

"Crona, what happened to you!" Maka screams at him. 

"I-I walked all the way home in the rain. All alone...." he said. Was it raining? I didn't notice it at all. 

"Oh... sorry...." I said. 

"You guys left me there...." Crona said.

"I'll make you some hot cocoa!" Maka said. 

I hug her from behind. "And I'll make you some hot cocoa." 

She kisses my cheek. "Back at ya, Soul!" we laugh.

The night was spent wathing bad movies and drinking hot cocoa, Blair fell asleep in Crona's arms, Maka in mine. 

Tommorow. We train.
