Demonic Souls {Soul Eater Fanfiction}

Chapter 10: The Get Together

Death the kid stood in the kitchen with his hands in his pockets, staring at the cupboards. His thoughts were occupied by the redheaded female he watched leave with a dessert, that she had made by hand earlier that day. The reaper couldn't help but notice how she had left every day to an unknown location. Based on what had recently happened, Kid had to keep an eye on her. She had just recently returned without speaking much to anyone in the house.

"I say we have a party tonight." Kid announced to his two weapons.

"Oh yeah, what for?" Liz asked as she painted her nails.

"I think it would make a nice evening. We haven't had everyone together in a while at home." He explained.

"Yeah not since Soul recovered from that incident." Patty said happily

"Alright, I'll help get stuff ready." Liz sighed.

"I'll start making the calls." The reaper smiled. "And don't tell Ryder...it'll be a surprise."

The Nakamura sileny stared at herself in the mirror in the bathroom, her crimson hair reached a little passed the middle of her back as she combed through it with her fingers gently. Her dark ember eyes stared blankly back at her. She could hear the heart beating in her chest, as a quiet reminder that she is alive.

She couldn't deny the emptiness she felt after returning back to the manor. It seemed like the white walls within the manor only aided in decreasing her sanity, at least that's what how it felt. After showering, Ryder stood wrapped in a bathrobe as she awaited the tub to fill up with warm water. Candles were lit around the manor, filling the house with a soft clean scent.

Sitting in the warm tub, Ryder wrapped her arms around her legs hugging herself as she lowered her head in the water so it covered her mouth. The Nakamura attempted to enjoy the silence with the calmness of the bathroom, as the steam of the water had filled the room and the lit candles aided in creating a warm environment.

Despite the attempt, she only found herself feeling emptier than she had before she stepped into the tub. Relaxing her body, Ryder laid flat on her back in the tub sinking her head underneath the water as well. She closed her eyes and could almost feel like she was able to breath again. The only times she felt at peace was when her eyes remained shut, blocking out the reality she had to live out. Once she couldn't hold her breath anymore, Ryder slowly rose her head above the water keeping her eyes shut. As she laid in the warm water, she couldn't help but try to remember if she had always disliked the sound of her own heartbeat ringing in her ears.

As the Nakmura was bathing, the guests for the night had already arrived and had began mingling. Once a few minutes has passed, Kid looked up the stairs wondering when the female would smell the food that was out and see the surprise. However, she had never really left her room for that reason before. He has always brought the food to her.

"I'll be just a moment." Kid excused himself as she began his way to her room.

As the girls chatted among themselves, Blackstar and Soul followed Kid out of sheer curiosity. The reaper entered her room, as she had left the door a crack open. He raised a brow, not seeing the red head sitting on the bed where she usually was.

"Oh sweet, is this Ryder's room?" Soul asks interested as he looked around the room. He noticed how clean and tidy everything was, almost as if it wasn't really lived in. "Don't tell me she's a clean freak like Maka."

"Why'd you follow me?" Kid sighs turning to the two who welcomed themselves to wander about in the Nakamura's room. "It's quite rude to enter a lady's room without permission."
