My protector.

Maka's POV

After Soul left my room I got dressed in my pale blue sweater with a black skirt and blue flats. I let my hair down from my regular pig tails and placed a black clip in it as well.

"Hurry up Maka, Kid and the sisters are here" Soul said from the living room. I opened my door and walked out into the living room to see Soul in a red tank top with black shorts and red shoes, and Kid wearing a white and black striped T-shirt and black jeans. And of course the twins in matching outfits, pink crop tops, blue shorts, pink and blue knee high high socks with white sneakers. I see the girls smile at me.

"You look great Maka!" Patty said with a wide smile. This isn't a outfit I wear often. Soul then turns to face me and as soon as he sees me his eyes seemed to widen. I blush a bit at this, he always looked so cute, and the way he was looking at me made him look even cuter. I really shouldn't be thinking like this, he's my weapon partner, and nothing more. Even though I wish that we could be more than that.

"Yeah you look great Maka, um let's go" Soul said, looking towards the ground, blushing?Was he really blushing? At me of all people? I couldn't help but smile at just the thought of him blushing because of me.

"Well, let go you guys, I don't want to sit her and watch you too give each other googly eyes" Kid said crossing his arms at the door way.

"Ehhh! No that's not at all what we're doing!" Both Soul and I say in unison, turning red in embarrassment.

"Yeah sure whatever" Liz said before we all walked out the door. We arrived at the park shortly after, it looked beautiful all the cherry blossoms were in bloom. A path way was a lined with at least twelve trees on each side and with blossoms flowing everywhere made it a truly beautiful sight to be seen.

"It's so beautiful, and symmetrical. What an amazing sight" Kid said looking in awe. All we really did was sit in the grass, enjoyed the view and talked.

"I find it weird that it's just us five without Black*star and Tsubaki. We never get to hang out without them." Patty points out. She is right it's always been ether all of us, just me, Soul, Black*star and Tsubaki without Kid and the sisters or just the weapons with their meister.

"I know, it's never this quiet" Soul said, everyone else letting out a laugh. After a few minutes of talking, Lord Death called Kid asking him to go on a mission so him, Liz and Patty left, leaving me and Soul by ourselves.

"Well this is boring" I say as me and Soul sit back to back under a tree.

"Wait, do you hear that?" Soul asked. I listened harder to hear the song of and ice cream truck.

"Ice cream would be great right now" I reply, then soul gets up and I look up at him.

"I'll be right back, vanilla bean right?" Soul asked and I nodded ask he ran to the truck. While he was gone, I took a picture of the beautiful scenery before me. Then two guys probably in their late teens/early twenties walked up to me. One had short fiery red hair, with navy blue eyes with a scar on his left shoulder and was slightly shorter than the second. The other guys had long gray hair that went to his shoulders. They stood in front of me with evil smirks on their faces.

"Hello there beautiful, how about you hang with us for a while. I bet we can have a ton of fun" the guy with the red hair said. I stand up and see just how much they towered over me, that didn't stop me though.

"I'd rather not thanks" I say trying to push them out of my way, but they push against the tree.

"Oh c'mon on baby doll, we'll treat you right" the other said pining my body against the tree, grabbing my face. I struggled but I couldn't get out of his grip.

"Let go of me!" I say as I kicked my feet at his shin. His grip tightened as he gasped in pain.

"Bad idea baby doll" he said as he hit me in the stomach and let go of me as I fell to the ground. The other man then kicked me in the same spot as the punch. I let out a loud scream before they did it again. They continued to do this for quite a while, to the point where I was about to black out.

"Leave her alone!" I heard Soul say from behind the two strangers. The two turn to him and they let out a laugh.

"And what are you going to do if we don't?" The taller man said. Soul smirks and he transforms his arm into his scythe blade.

"Do you really want to find out?" Soul replies, and he ran towards the shorter male holding his blade to the mans throat.

"Wait! We're sorry, we'll leave" the man said scared.

"Before you leave, I want you both to apologize to my meister" Soul said in a deep scary voice.

"We're so sorry miss" they say as they go to help me up.

"NO, don't touch her!" Soul said swinging his blade towards the men almost cutting them in the process. The men got up and started to back away.

"If I ever see your faces near my Maka ever again, I'll kill you" Soul said as the men started to run away. He turned his blade back into his arm and turn back to run to me. He helped me stand up, but the pain in stomach was stopping me from doing so.

"Agh! Soul it hurts!" I cry out, falling to my knees again, Soul then picked me up bridal style. He then began to run home, with my crying in pain in his arms.
