Chapter 1~ Shes back?

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM OWN SOUL EATER! [I wish.]

Summary: After Maka made Soul a Death Scythe, they split up for unknown reasons(TBA) but years later, they meet up, but Maka tries to erase Soul from her mind. The bad thing is that he recognizes her because he is in love with her. They end up having to teach together. Will Maka find out who he is? What will happen? Will they make up, or fight again? Can Maka forgive him for what he did?

It was Sunday evening and an albino haired boy was sitting in his empty apartment. It had been 3 years since she left. It was so dull and empty. His name was Soul 'Eater' Evans, though he preferred not to use Evans as his last name. He was made a death scythe, by none other, Maka Albarn. But due to unknown reasons, she left, furious with him. Soul yawned and turned on the TV, after a few minutes, a purple cat walked out and sat on his lap. " Hey Blair." He mumbled tiredly. He had work tomorrow and so did she. He worked as a teacher at the DWMA, and she worked at the ChupaCabras. In case you didnt know, Blair is a cat, with strong magical powers. She had two forms, cat and human. Nowadays, she is almost always in cat form. She only turns human to bathe and go to work.

After Maka left, everything went downhill. Sure, he still had all his friends. Black Star was close as ever, Death the Kid kind of backed off. He still didnt know why. But all the girls were very angry and upset with him. He never could talk to them. He sighed as he heard a loud knock on the door. " Who is it no-" He was cut off by loud screams. " SOUL! I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING! ITS IMPORTANT!" Soul sighed and opened the door, revealing a short, blue-haired man. " What is it Black Star?" The short man looked at Soul, then he walked inside, he first noticed Blair. Who was now sitting on the couch with a blank stare. " Wow you really messed up."

Soul sighed, it was a heavy sigh full of regret. " I know I know. Im so uncool. Anyways.. What did you need to tell me?" After that statement, Black Star's face lit up. " MAKA! Shes back! A big god like me couldnt miss it. She was seriously here Soul and... She was... Not bad looking!" Soul stared at him, his face blank. He fell back on the couch, dumbfounded. " M-Maka? You mean.. My.. Old meister?" He stuttered. The blue-haired man nodded. " Yep! and shes going to be a student teacher at the DWMA! and guess who shes going to be teacher with?"

That was when Soul realized. " No! She cant... Not with me!" Black Star nodded and looked at the albino with sympathetic eyes. " Man. If you were a big man like me.. Then you wouldnt have to worry." Soul glared at Black Star and sighed, standing up, pacing around the room. " Dude your gunna have to see her tomorrow! Maybe she wont remember you." Soul sighed again and glared at him again. " How...? No.. Why would she come back?" Black Star shrugged and sat on the couch like he owned it. Then Soul walked to his old meisters room, well old room. He walked in and sat on the bed. " She cant be.. No.. BLACK STAR! WHEN IS SHE STARTING!" He yelled out of the room.

Black Star sighed and walked to the room the weapon was occupying. " Shes starting tomorrow.. With you." Soul silently cursed and pulled his hair. " Dammit. WHY?" Soul sighed and walked out, facing the short man. He was much taller than the man though. Soul didnt know what to do now. He had no way of avoiding her. " Dammit.. This is so uncool.. and unfair.." Black Star sighed, looking at the scar on his shoulder. " A big man like me..." He started, but then stopped, putting his hands behind his head and yawning. " Im going to go! A big man like me cant leave Tsubaki waiting!" He said, giving Soul a thumbs up and walking out of the room.

Soul sighed again. Wow.. He was sighing a lot today. But tomorrow, tomorrow was going to be hell for him. To see Maka after all these years, he wasnt sure how either of them was going to react. That was when he decided that he should go to bed, be ready for the day he was expecting tomorrow. After he cleaned up the living room, locking the door, but leaving the window slightly open so if Blair didnt have her key she could get in. He walked over to his bed and fell onto it. " Tomorrow is going to be a big day.. Maka.." Those were the last words he whispered before he fell asleep.

~The Next Morning~

Soul yawned and pulled himself out of bed. Today was the day he was meeting his old meister again. He took a quick shower and ate breakfast. Then, he took a breath and ran hopped on his bike, heading to the school. Once he got there, he found people staring at him like usual. But these werent the usual 'I-love-you-stares' they were sympathetic and just plain strange. He sighed. They must have heard about Maka coming back. Soul jumped when he felt a cold hand on his shoulder. He looked slightly over and saw a blue hand. " Oh. Sid. You scared me." Soul chuckled lightly. " Lord Death wants to see you." He said, getting straight to the point.

Soul nodded and walked to the door of the death room. He took a deep breath and walked in. He was greeted by Spirit, Kid, and Lord Death. " Um. What did you need? Class is starting soon." He muttered, scratching his head. Kid stared at him, shocked at his lazy attitude. " Arnt you... Surprised? At the return of your meister?" Kid asked, a little suspicious. Soul sighed and nodded. " Of course I am. When Black Star told me yesterday, I didnt know what I would do.." That was when everyone in the room felt sorry for him. His face was struck with grief, he was obviously remembering the fight they had so long ago.

Kid patted Soul on the shoulder. " Im sure it will be fine. She came back.. So she cant be as upset anymore right?" Kid was trying to comfort Soul. " So... When do I meet her?" Soul asked, his heart pounding from the suspense. It was suspenseful. He sighed and looked at Spirit, who was now crying with joy. " My... My baby is back!" Spirit cried out. The next moment went to fast for Soul to realize. You hear a door open, someone mumbling, then Spirit, lying on the ground with blood spewing from his head. Soul turned around and froze. The sight he saw took his breath away.

Maka stood in front of him, her arms crossed, glaring at her papas body on the floor. At first, all Soul could do was stare at her. He tore his gaze away from her. She got taller, and she was still slender. Her chest had grown, but not too much. Her hair was long, and she changed her style of hair had changed, it was up it a long ponytail. Her gaze lifted from her now unconsious father, to Kid. " Hello nice to see you again." Then her gaze went to Lord Death. She bowed and her ponytail flipped over her face. " Hello Lord Death. Its nice to see you again.. Its my pleasure to be back."

Kid smiled and waved at her, greeting her. Lord Death chuckled and gave her a thumbs up. " Its more like we are happy to have you back~ Miss Albarn~" He said, looking at her. She smiled and bowed again. She had avoided Soul and hasnt once looked at him. " I was told by Sid to come here... Why?" She asked, her back turned to Soul, who was now dumbstruck with grief. He already knew what the Shinigami was going to say. Soul sighed and spoke for her. " Hey you. You've been obviously avoiding me. You know you have to teach with me. Dont avoid the subject." He sounded rude, but didnt mean to, so he mentally slapped himself for it. ' This is why you caused that to happen!' He yelled at himself, trying not to remember what happened three years ago.

Maka slowly turned around, the smile on her petite face disappearing. Her emerald eyes flickered as emotion swelled through them upon seeing him again. " S-Shinigami-Sama... D-Do I really...?" She asked, her voice almost begging. The Shinigami sweatdropped and nodded. " Im sorry. But yes.. You came back, only to have to teach with him. Im sorry." Soul's eyebrow twitched, did everyone hold a grudge or something? He sighed, shaking his head. " Am I a parasite or something?" He half-yelled. " Class is started. Im leaving, since im obviously not wanted here." Soul said, walking towards the door. He was pissed.

Soul walked out and slammed the door. Why was he cursed like this? He walked to class, and as he walked in, he noticed Professor Stein. " ... Stein? What the hell are you doing here?" He looked at his professor as he remembered the first time he protected Maka from him. He heard shouts from the class. " Soul-Sensei!"

" Where were you?"

" We missed you!"

" Dont leave us with this crazy teacher!" They yelled. Soul chuckled and looked at Stein. The professor was giving him a sympathetic look. " Not you too..." He sighed and told the professor he could leave. Soul noticed he took role and handed out the assignment for today. " Hello class... I guess im late.." He chuckled, scratching his hand behind him head. " Well... As you all have heard.. I mean.. Who hasnt? Only me, the uncool guy, learned yesterday. We are going to have another teacher help teach class.. Her name is.. Maka Albarn.." The class took a breath as they recognized the name.

One of the kids raised their hand. " Yes?" Soul said, not expecting what he said. " You mean the one who made you into a death scythe, then left you?" At first he didnt answer, not really wanting to. " ... Uh... Y-Yeah.. I guess so.. My old meister.. Maka.. Albarn.." He said, hearing the door open. He turned his head and his crimson eyes met with emerald. Once again, the emotion flickered in her eyes. " Speak of the devil." All the kids in the class turned and looked at her. She turned towards the class as her long hair was weaved around her shoulder. " T-This... Is.." He started, but was shocked when he found a hand on his mouth.

When he looked over, he saw his meister with tinted red cheeks, glaring at him. " I can introduce myself!" She said, pouting slightly. Soul felt a blush making its way to his cheeks. He turned away, chuckling. " Go ahead. This uncool guy wont stop you." His voice was smooth, as it had always been, unless Maka was getting herself into danger. Maka turned and faced the class, her emerald eyes filled with determination. " Hello class! Today I will be helping.. Him.. Teach this class. I am Maka Albarn!" She gave a thumbs up and winked at the class. Soul sighed, ' At least she can still be happy..' He thought to himself.

After all the introductions, Soul took over. " Miss Albarn here will be watching for the next week, then we will both teach.. Together.." He mumbled, not really wanting to deal with the class harrassment later. Maka nodded and tried her best not to look at him. Towards the end of class, Soul was called down. " Uh. Miss... Albarn.." He started, he was going to have to get used to calling her that. He would feel like as asshole using her first name, after what had happened oh so long ago. Maka nodded and waved him off, her gaze not meeting his. " Ill take care of the class. You do what you want.. Evans.." She said, looking away.

Soul sighed as he headed down to the Death Room. " 42-42-564... When you want to knock on deaths door.." He put into the mirror, since Lord Death wasnt there. " Hello~ Hello Soul~" Soul sighed. " What did you want? Shinigami-Sama?" He asked, pretty eager to get back to class to make sure Maka was doing everything right. The Shinigama's eyes lowered. " Uh~ I guess I should tell you now.. You have to live with Maka in the same house again." Soul stared at him, his face twisted." LIAR!" The Shinigami shook his head. " No. Im not lying to you Soul." Soul shook his head. " No no no! That cant happen!" He grabbed his head, he felt his head spinning even though it wasnt, and soon after he said, " Does Maka know?" He asked, unconsiouly using her name.

The Shinigami sighed. " She knows.. Maybe thats why shes been acting like that towards you." Soul snapped his head up. " You mean.. She knew all along? DAMMIT! What if I hurt her again?" He yelled, his anger getting the better of him. The Shinigami patted his . " Soul.. Dont think too much about it. You two will make up in no time. You have to live together and teach together.. Plus..." Soul glared at him. " Theres more?" He yelled, pushing the hand off his shoulder. Again, a sigh escaped the Shinigami. " Yes... You will begin your class training sessions soon. Its not all about written.. Remember? And shes going to have to use you to demonstrate. Shes been briefed on everything new thats happened in her absence. Soul sighed and shook his head. " Whatever... School is over... Im going home.." He said, walking out the doors of the school.

Soul found his bike and hopped on, revving the engine. He was about to drive off, but a certain voice stopped him. " E-Evans.." The petite girl stood in front of him. Her hands on her knees and she was bent over, breathing heavily. " I-I was looking for you... I need a ride.. Back home.." She barely mumbled out, he could barely hear her. " Get on.. And speak up more.. I can barely hear you.." He sighed as he drove off. When he started, he felt thin arms wrap around him. His heart sped up as he pushed the acceleration. A faint blush had crawled up on his face. He really needed to get home and take a bath.

Once they reached home, Soul locked his bike and opened the house. He allowed Maka to go in first. When she walked in, she was tackled by a purple blob. " MAKA! I MISSED YOU!" A voice yelled at her. Soul sighed and walked in past the two. " You two... Im taking a shower okay?" He said, feeling bad about how he was acting. He was being so uncool today, but to him, he blamed Maka. Seeing her again after three years, his heart can barely handle it. He started the shower as he heard the two conversing. " Blair! How have you been?"

" Umm.. Not so well.. After you left.. I kinda blacked out.. I barely talked to Soul..."

" Really? Its not my fault is it?"

" Well it sorta is I guess.. Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty wont talk to Soul, much less look at him. Black Star continued on as usual after you left, Kid got a little distant... and he was asked out by so many girls.."

Maka's eyes narrowed. " Did he bring any home?" Blair shook her head. " He never did. He always came home and plopped on the couch, turning the tv on but never watching it. He was sorta... Out of it when he got home. He puts on a cheerful demeanor for his class, but everytime he comes home, he doesnt pay much attention to anything really.." Maka sighed and shook her head. " Its all my fault.. If only.. That never happened." Blair shook her head, " No! Its not your fault!" She said, hugging the girl lovingly as Soul walked out of the bathroom.

" Im going to bed.." He said, walking to his room. Maka waved to him. " Goodnight.." She avoided his name, but at least she told him goodnight. Maka sighed as she unpacked her stuff. This was going to be a long night. She heard Soul shut his door. She was going to pack in the morning, so she fell on her bed. Smelling it to see if she had to wash it. It smelled of Soul. She sat up and curled into a ball. " Why is it like this?" She mumbled, laying back down. After hours of thinking, she finally fell asleep. Soul had fallen asleep the moment he hit the bed. Today was exhausting.
