My protector.

Maka's POV

I woke to the sun shining through Soul's bedroom curtains. We've started sleeping in the same bed a lot more, nothing sexual, just cuddling. We usually pick Soul's room because it's closer to the living and we're lazy when we're tired. I stay there for just a moment, listening to the sound of Soul's heart beats mixed with his gentle snores. I sit up, then gently staring to wake the sleeping Scythe.

"Soul, Soul get up, I don't want to be late for our first day of senior year" I say shaking his shoulder. He opened one eye to look at me, grunting before turning on his side.

"I don't wanna go" he said in his very attractive morning voice.

"You have to, I can't go on missions alone, I need my strong death scythe to protect me" I say leaning over his shoulder to look at his face. He looked at me for a couple seconds before letting out a loud "ahhhhggh" before actually getting up and out of bed. I followed getting out of bed before grabbing a towel, and heading to my room to grab some clothes. I take a quick shower and got dressed in a black and red plaid thigh length skirt, a white button up with a black tie and matching knee high socks. I finished the look off with my black and white ankle boots, my hair up in a bun and my black trench coat. It of course is shorter on me, considering I've had it for so long. I was ready to get back to what I know best, fighting Kishin eggs and protecting the people of death city. I walked out of the bathroom to see Soul in a black shirt with a skull on the front with a leather jacket, and black ripped jeans. In his hair, a black headband was placed, he never did get out of that phase. He looked tired, like he stayed up past the time we went to lay down for bed. He's been doing that for a while now, he's even admitted to it. He waits for me to fall asleep and then he gets up and makes sure I'm safe from anything, making sure all the doors and windows are closed and locked. Then once he's sure and knows nothing is going to hurt me, he comes back to bed. From the extremely tired look on his face, he was up longer than usual.

"You ready?" He asked, as he grabbed his bag putting it on his shoulder. I nodded grabbing my school bag and walked out the door. Soul followed, sluggishly to his motorcycle, we then begin to head to the school. We soon arrived and were greeted by our friends, along with Hero, and Natsuki. The two still try to get us to train them, we always say no, and we we're guessing that's what they wanted to now.

"Maka, Soul! We're begging you, please teach us how to become a death scythe. We have to become one before we graduate" Hero begs.

"Why don't you ask another death scythe meister pare?" Soul asked.

"Yeah Soul isn't the only death scythe at the school, Liz and Patty are both death scythes and Tsubaki is three souls away from being a death scythe. Go ask them to train you" I add to Soul's argument. We walk away hand in hand, with the rest of the group by our side.

"Please, we'll even pay you for your time!" Natsuki said. That's when I got incredibly irritated and turned around and speed walked over to both of them.

"Listen, if they're is something wrong with how you're training is going, that on your relationship and is not our problem. Soul and I are incredibly busy protecting the people of this city. We can't fix something that didn't work to begin with. You two have to figure stuff out on your own like the rest of us did. We're not going to train you, nothing you can't do will change my mind" I say before walking back to Soul's side, taking his hand in mine once more. We arrived to class to see professor Stain and Miss. Marie. One thing that was definitely a wonderful sight was. Not only did the two have their wedding rings on but Miss. Marie had a visible baby bump.

"Hello Miss. Marie, Pr. Stain. It's so great to see you both again" I say as Miss Marie hugs me.

"It's good to see you all as well" Miss. Marie said going to hug the others.

"Soul, Maka, Lord Death want you both in his death room for a mission, now" Pr. Stain said.

"Okay, we'll head there right away, come on Soul" I say pulling Soul out of the classroom.
