Well, here's the next chapter. I apologize for the delays in some of my other stories my mom is pregnant so being one of the older siblings I have to do everything around the house whilst taking care of my mom and younger siblings. I know it's TMI XD but I had to say it. Well enough with that, here's the chapter,

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater

...

I don't understand. I don't get her or her motives. By 'her' I'm referring to the ash blonde girl with green eyes.

She is a mortal but I'm having trouble understanding her, it makes no sense. She isn't afraid of me, she accepts my darkness, and pretty much, anything. She trusts my words without a second thought, I haven't lied to her but I'm pretty sure most mortals aren't that accepting. Maka accepted to take the place of her father, accepted all of us, accepted the curse inside the castle, accepted...what I am.

She is indeed a very odd girl but I even love that part about her.

...

I can't believe I left the mirror in father's old room. She almost went to it. I think this as I am seated on my chair in the dining room for lunch. It' been a few days since the day Maka went through the secret entrance and found something I wish she hadn't...yet had.

We haven't spoken much since, well, we haven't spoken at all to each other. But the small looks we exchange share everything we feel. At first I was mad at her so I would send an icy glare her way, but that didn't work out, she would blush instead! Seriously, what the hell is up with that? (*1*) That glare of mine always silences everyone else who sees it, their eyes become fearful ones, yet Maka blushes and looks away.

"Kid! Kid, are you listening to me?!" I look to my right and find Liz with her eyebrows knitted close together. "My apologies, my thoughts were elsewhere." She rolls her blue eyes. The anger in them is replaced with amusement. "What were you daydreaming about?" She grins.

"Nothing of importance." I keep any emotion hid behind my face. I realize I didn't deny the fact that I was daydreaming. I keep a poker face yet Liz looks right through my façade. "Shut up, you were thinking about a certain someone weren't you?" She places her cheek on her palm.

"Was not." I say in a determined tone.

"Was too." Patty chimes in.

"Was not."

"Was too." Liz says and I glare at her. I open my mouth to retort something to her but Patty interrupts.

"Maka is staring at you." She says in her ever so happy tone. I pause and glance across the table to where the green eyed girl is seated. I face her, our eyes locked. The people around us become quiet for a moment. But that moment quickly disappears as fast as it came.

[~]

We remain staring at each other for a moment. The people around the table become quiet. But they soon return to happy chatter. I sigh and remove my green eyes from his golden gaze. I turn and look at Tsubaki who has a smile plastered across her face. "Don't say anything." I warn and she giggles.

"Awe come on Maka, I was only going to tease you." Her tone is back to normal. I sigh and glance at Crona who has a small smile on his face. Not you too.

...

"Maka." His tone is hushed. I turn around and face him. His face expression looks slightly glad,...happy?

It's been so long since we've spoken, why bother now? I think as I take a hesitant step towards him.

[~]

It's been so long. I haven't seen her since the day we agreed to become friends again. My thoughts always wonder about her. Where she is. Why she left. Who could have taken her. Just when I thought I could have her as mine she disappears. This causes my insides to boil with anger. How can I lose her? Just when I could have...

I hear a knock come to my door. I am currently sitting in a chair in my office room with my desk in front of me. "Come in." I raise my voice so that the person on the other side of the dark wooden door can hear me.

The door slams open with a red haired man with tears streaming down his face and a clenched jaw comes in. His steps are heavy and loud as he walks over to my desk. "I can't take it anymore! My Maka has been missing for too long!" His voice is sharp and holds all the love and worry he has for his daughter.

"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. You don't know the location she's in." I say with an edge in my voice. I place my folded arms on the desk in front of me. "Which is why we may never see Maka again." I sigh and place my chin on the cloth of my sleeves.

A hand slams down in front of me on the desk.

"Are you seriously going to call off all the search parties, Soul?" He says my name with a hint of disgust. He is aware of my attempts in the past to make his daughter my wife.

I sit up and glare daggers into the man in front of me. "Of course not, I love her, but we can't keep searching forever." The man in front of me rolls his blue eyes at my words. "If you loved her then you would search for her your self." He places both hands on my desk as he looms over me. I gulp. I hate getting my hands dirty but he's right, I'm going to have to try. Even if it costs hard work.

But then I realize something, "Wait what's the point? If we find her and bring her back she'll come back to you. You won't let her be with me."

Spirit's gaze is unfazed, however I can tell he is deep in thought. "I'll make sure to get her back and save her from the 'beast' you speak of, but all this for your word in acceptance to take her hand in matrimony." I say. His eyes widen and now he gulps.

He sighs faintly, "Forgive me Maka..." I don't think I was supposed to catch that. "Fine, I'll let you marry my daughter, as long as you bring her back." I grin and he flinches slightly. "Deal." I extend my right hand to seal the deal. He hesitantly takes my hand and gives it a firm shake.

"I'll make sure to bring her back."

...

Until next time.
