Title: A Star Paradox

Rating: M for language, lemons, and potty-mouths!

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, the characters or anything associated with Soul Eater. I only own the fanfiction stories based on Soul Eater, the characters, or anything associated with Soul Eater. Trust me, if I had, there would have been some hardcore yaoi of Black Star and Soul. And don't think my being not owning Soul Eater has stopped me from drawing small doujins and pics of them.

Author's Notes: Before we kick it in, from now on, there aren't going to be author's notes anymore from now on. I want my stories to seem more... story-like. Also, I'm not sure if this will contain- ah fuck it. SoulStar lemons for everyone dammit!

Rated M because there will be explicit scenes of Star-Clan!Black Star x Soul and Black Star x Soul. Never seen that before, huh? Plus I think an evil Black Star is kind of sexy.*shot*

Nevertheless, begin!

Soul quietly ventured down the school halls. He had came back from the rest room and was supposed to get back with his friends for lunch but he figured a little time to himself wouldn't hurt. Not masturbating if that's what you perverts are thinking. Nothing major happened ever since Kid, the new Lord Death, took control of the city and school. Even though the shinigami is still coping with the death of his father, he is taking it well.

His friends are as diverse as ever personality-wise. Maka is a lot nicer to him but those Maka-Chops still came when she felt the need to arise. Black Star is more mature but is still as air-headed as ever with his speeches on how he will defeat Kid to become true God. That idiot. Still, he is glad that he along with everyone else is alive and hanging out like the old times.

A soft curse came from an abandoned classroom and Soul curiously looked to the side of where the voice came from. It is strange that there is someone sitting outside of lunch. Plus he really didn't need another Medusa incident happening so...

The Death Scythe opened the door and sighed when he was greeted with an unusual scene.

" Ah! There we go- Soul?" Kid looked up from working with a small device in his hand. He was seated at the teacher's desk and seemed like he fixing something. Though, all the windows are closed and the lights are dimmed to it seemed suspicious.

" What are you doing?" Soul asked while closing the door behind him. Kid gave an inspired smile and held up a device that looked to be a thick, remote control.

" Oh, just about to test a DWMA project. I specifically asked for this to be made. "Soul sat on the desk and crossed a leg over the other.

" May I ask why? What does it do?" Kid handed the weapon the remote and stood up with a hand behind his back. Soul immediately knew he was in for a lecture.

" Well, there really isn't a name for it but I can tell you all the details. First, it's a time-traveling device,"

Soul's mouth hung open.

" And it sends you to an alternate universe. A parallel world from this one to be exact." Soul blinked and looked down at the electronic in his hand. He gave a weird look.

" Why, again?"

" It's for my own personal research of course. I had hypothesis that there could be a world out there besides this one and different dimension study is one I've been dreaming to do." Soul rolled his eyes.

" God, you sound exactly like Maka." Kid continued as if he hadn't heard the comment, which he didn't.

" I plan to start today with a partner. The max number of people it can bring is two." Soul handed the shinigami back his device and hopped off the desk.

" Yeah, I'll bring Maka over right no-"

" Actually, I was wondering if you could come with me." Soul's eyes widened when he turned back around to face the smirking meister and he stuttered.

" I-I... bu-but you... what!?" Kid walked in front of Soul and held up the remote.

" I wanted to do it alone and keep this a secret, but why waste the capacity when I can share this experience with someone I know I can trust?" The weapon bit his bottom lip." I would have made it eight but that would have been using a number of witch's magic."

" But... what about everyone else? Won't they know that we're gone and would ask questions when we get back?" Though, Soul was mainly thinking of Black Star. God know how long he can stay away from watching over the idiot.

" I'll say that we're going on a six-day mission as meister and weapon. They ought to believe that." Soul's mouth hung open again.

" Six days!? Do you know how long that is?" At least it isn't eight…

" You can never have enough time for anything. There is only so much we can cover." The scythe had an uncertain look at the almost reasonable statement and the bell rang. He only hoped that their friends would buy the excuse. Six days still seemed like a lot and could raise suspicion.

" Fine, I guess that'll work. Where should we meet after school?" Kid thought for a moment before grabbing his bag.

" We'll meet back here in the same classroom at six. Make sure to bring necessities because we'll be gone for a while. Don't forget to use the excuse if Maka asks anything." Soul nodded before he and Kid headed out, separating ways. He wondered why Kid wanted to keep the possibility of an alternate universe as a secret and why he was asked to go instead of someone else. Most of all...

What is the different dimension like?

" You're what!?" Black Star exclaimed as Maka gave a look of suspicious and Tsubaki stared.

" Sorry, it was kind of a last minute thing. We'll only be gone for six days!" He added but that wasn't very helpful since Maka was dreading about staying home alone with Blaire. Soul sweated when Black Star grabbed his shoulders.

" Dude, three days!? That's like..."

" 144 hours-" Tsubaki chimed in quickly.

" 144 hours without you man!" The weapon's cheeks warmed at the statement and contact and stepped back.

" It's not that long, you'll survive. Everyone will be too busy with school to even notice we're gone." He said while putting his messenger bag on.

" Great, who am I going to skip class with now?"

" Is that all you care about!?" Maka exclaimed before sighing. " Anyways, I hope you and Kid come back safely. Must be such an important mission for it to be so long." Soul gave a small smile and looked at the time on the clock ahead. Looks like it's time for them to continue the sleep-over without him. He wondered how Liz and Patty were handling this.

" Yeah, something like that. I had better get going then." Soul was about to turn and leave but his wrist was caught by Black Star." Wh-what is it?"

" If even a minute passes after six days, I'm going after you, got it?" Soul's face burned bright red and he nodded slowly, unable to vocally respond to his best friend. Why did Black Star have to say something so embarrassing in front of Maka and Tsubaki!?

" G-Got it. I have to go now!" Maka gave a suggestive smile behind her hand while Tsubaki giggled softly. Besides that point, she was still wondering why Soul wouldn't tell them the mission instead of saying how long he'll be out.

Exactly at six, coincidently, Soul made it to the school building and into the hall to see Kid just entering it. Hopefully, everything will go well and he'll learn a lot with Kid about the parallel world that awaits them. Would everyone be the same? Would there be a Death Academy or Kishins? Or would it be a wasteland?

" Hey Kid, I'm here." He announced while walking into the room. The said male looked up and smiled.

" Perfect timing. Though you were a few milli-seconds off-"

" Aaaand leavi-"

" Never mind! Anyways, let's hurry before the anyone finds us." Soul turned back around from walking out and stepped next to the meister, who held up the remote. Kid had his thumbed over a green button and exhaled deeply." Once we go, there is no turning back for a while. The time is set exactly to six days starting tomorrow. That's how long we have to explore."

" Just out of curiosity but, what exactly happens if we stay too long past the due date?" Kid pressed the button and a lightning blue barrier began to form.

" Hopefully, we shouldn't stick around long enough to find out."

The blue light engulfed the area and they disappeared within a flash.

...

" Che. It isn't fair..." Maka huffed and plopped down on the couch as Tsubaki served the drinks. Black Star had muttered that for the umpteenth time and it was starting to get annoying.

" What is so unfair?" Black Star barely glanced at her.

" That Kid gets to have Soul to himself for six whole days!"

" And? You and Soul spend way more time together than that."

" …It still isn't fair."

" Honestly, you sound like some possessive boyfriend or something. Hell, by the way you both are so overly-attached to each other, I wouldn't be surprised if you guys were." Black Star blinked and sighed angrily.

" The least he could've done was bring us along. What's so important about that mission anyways? I bet it's a lie." Maka rolled her eyes as Tsubaki sat down next to her with an exasperated smile.

" Well... this is weird." Soul pointed out to Kid. The two stood on a street with the city bustling in the afternoon. They had walked out of a random alley thay ended up at and walked out to see Death City looking as normal as ever. There were soul responses of meisters and weapons, witches, and civilians. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and Kid had to check his device's screen eight times to make sure nothing was wrong.

The plan went perfect.

But why did everything seem so normal? What changes were made? Is their world really the only one that exists throughout the universe?

" That can't be possible..." Kid unknowingly muttered to himself and he straightened up. " I'm going to look at the newspaper stand and ask around. I need you to observe around the streets for a bit. Something doesn't seem right. Meet me back here in front of the café in thirty minutes."

Soul nodded and they separated directions. Although everything seemed normal, he had a feeling that maybe the people or his friends changed. Maybe they were evil, or weren't friends. Or dead. Anything could be possible in this too-normal world.

" Who knows..." Maka thought aloud, and all eyes were on her.

...

Narrow, blue eyes watched Soul's every step.

...

" Maybe there is a reason why he isn't telling us."

I think I over-used the horizontal lines a bit. No worries, there won't be as much since now we'll be focused on Soul and Kid's adventure in the Parallel World. Just what secret awaits Soul and are the results going to end well? I don't know because I haven't gotten to that point yet but you'll figure out soon enough when you favorite, follow, and review this story! Until next time,

Chow!
