Soul -X- Maka

The shadows of the soul

Chapter One: Home.

Maka's POV----------------------------------------------------------- --

I watched the rain pour outside my bedroom window and sighed. Ever since Soul had protected me
from Crona during the battle I've felt weird, I've felt like I want to be close to him… REALLY close to him.
I wanted to run my fingers through his through his soft snow white hair and lose myself in those deep
carmine orbs of his. I wanted him to hold me close and vice-versa, I wanted to breathe in his warm scent
of cinnamon and strawberries…. But at the same time I was afraid, afraid to be near him, afraid he was
going to be hurt again because of me, AND I had also sworn to myself that I would never let another
male get close to me after what happened between my mother and the cheater and liar I call my papa. I
sighed again as the phone rang. Blair picked it up.

"Hello?" I heard the cat murmur, A pause "Oh?" another pause, "okay I'll be sure to tell Maka-chan.
Thank you." I heard her set the phone down. "Maka-Chan! Your school nurse called and said she would
be sending Soul home in half an hour! "Said purple-haired cat called to me.

I perked up. "Blair I'm going to run to the market to get some stuff for dinner! " I pulled on a rain
coat and grabbed an umbrella, my wallet and keys and ran out into the storm. I ran to the market with
the every intention of making Soul a nice 'welcome home' meal. I bought four strip steaks, some red
potatoes and ingredients for strawberry shortcake, as well as some mint tea. I quickly exited the market
and jogged home, my purchases clutched to my chest.


I was peeling the potatoes when he walked in. "Maka you home yet?"

"I'm in the kitchen! " I yelled back.

Soul's POV____________________________________________________

I was finally out of the dispensary, with its antiseptic smells and uncomfortable beds. And of course
I was glad to be away from the awful food. I could almost taste the awesome whatever it was that Maka
was cooking. I stopped in the doorway to our kitchenette, and watched her. She was humming softly to
herself as she simmered some steaks on the stove. She tossed in some diced potatoes. I walked up
behind her and whispered huskily into her ear. "I'm home."

As I predicted she would the sandy blond whirled around color rising into her cheeks. What I hadn't
expected was that our lips would brush softly. I quickly turned away, color rising into my own cheeks.
"Sorry Maka. It was an accident." In truth I wanted to kiss her more than anything, but I knew she didn't
feel that way about me.

"Soul are you okay? You're… blushing?" Maka turned me around and hugged me, wrapping her thin
slightly muscled arms around my waist and rested her head on my chest. I breathed in her scent of mint
and vanilla. Too soon it was over. She turned back to the stove and whispered "It's so good that you're
home, alive and healthy, you are healthy…Aren't you Soul?"

"Yeah I'm healthy, if a bit sore…tiny-tits." I tacked on to try and lighten the mood. She smiled over
her shoulder. She truly smiled when I just called her a nick-name she hated. "Hey Maka? What's for
dinner?"

"Steak, Potatoes and strawberry shortcake for dessert." She said.


"Cool."

"Cool? Cool?" she muttered indignantly "Is that all you have to say? I'm in here trying to cook you
the best 'welcome home' meal ever and all you have to say is COOL?!?"

"Um… yes" I ventured. She sighed

"Go watch T.V while I finish up dinner."

I nodded and started walking towards the living room when I heard Blair yell "Oh my little scythey
boy!" She quickly glomped me smooshing my face into her overly large breasts. I quickly got a nose-
bleed. It was just a knee-jerk reaction. Blair let go of me. "Soul! You got blood on my shirt, now I need a
bath. Do you wanna come with me?" she gave me a heated look.

"No thanks Blair." I said.

"Aw you're no fun anymore Soul." She leaned in close and changed demeanors. "Be careful Soul.
Falling in love is a dangerous business. "

I paled, how did she know I was falling for my meister? She grinned and skipped upstairs to the
bathroom. I flopped blindly onto the couch and my wound throbbed. I turned on the T.V to some
documentary on cats and became lost in the mist of my thoughts.
