SoxMa Poison Chapter 6

Ch 6

Maka took a deep breath and began to open her eyes blinking against the blinding light.*Ugh. It's too bright*. She closed her eyes and slowly stretched. She had slept deeply and was feeling very refreshed if not a little groggy. It seemed to be later than normal. Had she overslept? It was her turn to cook breakfast too; Soul was not going to be happy. She pushed off the covers and swung her legs to the side of the bed, stretched again with a big yawn. Lazily, she took in her surroundings. Then she really looked around. This was NOT her room. This wasn't even close to her room.

"Oh no…"

"MAKA!!" The disgusting red-head she lamented calling "papa" had just entered the room. Seeing that she was wake, he lunged forward and wrapped her in a crushing bear hug.

"Don't worry Maka, papa is here! It's all over. Papa won't let anyone hurt you ever again…." Spirit sobbed into her shoulder

"Wait… What?" Maka asked. She was very confused now. *What happened? How did I end up at Papa's house? Where is Soul?* She thought as she tried to push away her frantic Papa.

"Maka-Chop!!"

"OoooOww… Why Maka…. Why do you always hurt papa….?" Spirit whimpered as he held his head.

"Quiet! I'm trying to think." Maka responded coldly to her whining papa.

Some vague memories were starting to surface. There was the desert, some ruins, Eruka, some explosions…… then…… there had been a sharp sting in her back. After that, her body began to feel like it was turning into lead and she felt….. sleepy. Her memories of what happened next were pretty fuzzy. She remembered the final explosion…. Then Soul…. Soul had said something, she couldn't remember what. She could see his face clearly…. he looked so scared and…… sad. Then… Maka began to blush deeply as the final memory before everything went black surfaced in her mind. Soul had kissed her!

She slowly reached up to touch her lips in disbelief. She had no idea Soul would ever want to kiss her. He had always called her a "flat chest with no sex appeal" every chance he got. Well, that wasn't really true. Ever since the Book of Ebion, he hadn't really mentioned her lack of sex-appeal. And then there were those two times he had almost died to keep her safe… maybe he had done them out of more than just a sense of duty towards her after all….

"Papa, How long was I out? Why did you bring me here? Shouldn't I be in the infirmary?" Maka questioned

"What happened is that prick Soul Eater failed to protect you and you almost died." Spirit responded savagely. "You were unconscious for 13 days. I brought you here so I could take care of you, my precious Maka!" He cooed her name in the same sickening way he always did. It made her feel ill.

"Ugh. I'm going home" Maka said as she stood up and made for the door.

"No Maka! Don't leave Papa!!"

"Maka-chop! MAKA-CHOP! MAKA-FUCKING-CHOP!!!" She left a barley conscious and twitching Spirit on the floor as she quickly left for home.

"Looks like she's feeling better" Shinigami-sama mused as he watched Maka beat Spirit in his ornate full-length mirror.

"Yes, it appears she has made a full recovery" Stein replied, a smile in his voice. "Should we stop her?" He asked as Maka left Spirit.

"No, let her go home. Summoning Soul and getting Maka would be difficult. Making them meet here and explaining what happened would be traumatic for them both. We'll summon them in the morning for a debriefing. I'm sure Maka coming home will be a nice surprise for Soul."
