Repairing a Broken Soul

Chapter 5: Come live with Me
</u>

...I'd seen many unhealthy and healthy souls since i first found out about my power...

...but his...was broken...




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I smiled as i realized i knew the most about him than anyone else in the school. For someone normal it probably wasn't that much of a big deal, but to me...it made me feel accomplished in a way. What did everyone know about him? I knew that he was a talented pianist who practiced his own songs before and after school. How many people knew that already? No one...Just me...

Just me...

The music stopped and i could hear a pencil sketching on paper. I peeked through the door and saw Soul writing on the paper on the small table behind the piano. He reached up and scratched his head in thought, and since he was now facing me i could see the concentration set on his lazy eyed face. 'I think that's the most he's actually concentrated these past two days...' i then thought as he turned around and sat at the piano to practice his masterpiece once again. I was right...all he did was sleep for the last two days...

I let a small giggle pass my lips as Soul's song filled the air again. Then with a deep breath, I stood up straight and opened the door before walking within the Music Hall. I took his flier from my jacket pocket and quietly shut the door, but still not all the way. I let it stay slightly open like it was when i arrived. He didn't seem to notice me at all as i slowly approached from behind. I stopped at the small table, listening to his beautiful music, and glanced at the paper on the table.

It was a music sheet.

More like a rough draft of one. 'that must be the paper he wrote the song on...' I thought as the song picked up again. I smiled. Who knew a guy like him could be so talented. The paper had musical notes going down the line revealing the melody in it's code. But a few notes towards the bottom had been scratched out and replaced. And to the looks of it, he had done that more than two times. Even more than three or four. 'Guess he cant decide how it ends...' I thought.

"Still needs change" Soul muttered. I hadn't realized that Soul had stopped his playing. The room had fell completely silent. I was kind of surprised he still didn't notice i was there. But since he wasn't playing any longer i decided to give him the credit i was trying to give him in the first place. So i faced him as he stared at the piano keys. I took a deep breath and brought both my hands up close to each other and with out any other warning to either myself or Soul, I clapped for him. He jumped about a mile high.

"Nice job Soul! That was beautiful!" I said as the white haired boy flinched in surprise. He then slowly looked over his shoulder and revealed his lazy crimson eyes. After a moment or so, my hands dropped and i gave him a sweet smile. Or at least i hoped it looked sweet. I didn't want to look at him and give him a crazed look. Like i was saying i liked it but only in truth i didn't mean it. That would have been pretty bad. I looked at him a little longer and finally, Soul raised a brow.

"Really?"

I shut my eyes and nodded. "Yeah of course!" I answered afterwards. "You're very talented. I had no idea!" Then, out of no where i heard something click deep down in my mind. I had no idea what it was. But as soon as i opened my eyes again i forgot all about it. He was giving me a surprised look. Or something that showed surprise and relief at the same time...if that was even possible...I raised a brow myself. "What?"

His face calmed and he shut his red eyes to shake his head. "Nothing" he answered as he used his right hand to close the cover. "It's not even my style. But I'm glad you liked it." I mentally told myself that i was right. That's why he was having trouble. Because it wasn't even his style. "I never really have an audience, and even if i did, they've never actually complemented my work-"

"Then they must be crazy!" I interrupted; making him gaze at me with his crimson eyes again. "Soul, that song was just lovely" I then said as i walked over. I sat down beside him, but kept my body facing the door at the other end of the room. "So when did you write this song?" I then asked. I had become curious to see if it was this song they never complimented or not. "Before or after your last audience?"

Soul smiled and looked at the piano. "I actually wrote it up after school yesterday" He then told me. I blinked in surprise. That was probably what he was writing about earlier that morning in Marie-Sensei's class. And even more surprising...he wrote that yesterday! What kind of person had 'that' kind of talent?! The last time i had seen talent like that was when my Papa and Mom were still together. They took me to a fancy dinner party with a family jazz band. Soul's talent reminded me of them. They were all beautiful musicians, and Soul was as well. "Though, I'm always inspired to write my songs-" That caught my attention. I couldn't leave that subject alone.

"What inspired you to write this one?"

Soul shook his head. "It's nothing really" He then told me. Of course he wouldn't tell me...I gave him an upset lookto convince him to tell me but it never fazed him. He only shook his head again before smiling a small smile at me. "So, Maka was it?" He asked. Even though he was changing the subject, I felt myself blush. I couldn't help it...He knew my name...

"Uh Yeah!"

After i answered, Soul gave me a grin instead of the small smile he had been giving me before. "So what's up then?" He asked. "You barely even know me, never talk to me in school and now your sitting here in the music hall having an actual conversation with me." He reached up and touched my forehead as if trying to see if i was sick or had a fever. He then grinned a little more. "You feeling ok?"

I shook my head and lightly hit his hand away from my head. "Well for one thing..." I then said as my posture relaxed. I then held up my hand to show off one finger. "No one knows anything about you anyway." Then i held up two fingers. "And second, of course i don't talk to you in class. Your always sleeping" He laughed slightly. "Yeah, you know it's true..." i then told him with a small glare.

Soul hung his head in defeat. "Yeah..." He muttered; his hands running through his hair. "You got a point...sorry 'bout that" I smiled. He was a sweet guy. Even if he seemed stuck up all the time. Even if his soul was broken. And even if he was losing his home. Whoa! Hold on a moment! I had almost forgot...

"Oh! I almost forgot" I said, getting his gaze to lie upon me once again. I held up the flier i had been holding while my right hand showed off a third finger. "And third...I'm also here because i saw this on the bulletin board" He took it and looked at it for a moment before looking at me again. "I'm really sorry about what's happening" I said to him. "I thought that you'd like to live in the extra room at my apartment. It might not be much but-"

"I'll take it!"

"Huh?" I saw that he was giving me a wide grin; showing off his shark like teeth. For some reason, i really liked his teeth. They really added to his 'cool guy' look. But still, I tilted my head to the side as i then realized he agreed to come live with me. I blinked. "R-Really?" I then asked. Soul nodded to me.

"Yeah" He said. "Not being known around here has it's perks but when times like these come along i can be in real trouble." He let out a sigh. But i only raised a brow. How could not being known have...perks? "Everyone decides to be 'uncool' and not do anything for or with me, so I'm pretty sure that if i declined your offer i wouldn't get another one..." I nodded. Soul did make sense after all. No one knew him well enough to want to do anything with him. And they probably didn't know him well enough to have him living with them. But then again...that was his own damn fault. He's the one who decided not to share anything about himself with people. But i was still wondering...how can there be perks?!

"So, you going to show me where to go or what?"

I looked up from where i was staring and saw that Soul had already gotten up, gathered his things and opened the door to leave. "OH!" I gasped as i stood. "Sorry" I grabbed my back pack and ran over to him to stand by his side. "I got a little side-tracked..." i then said with a small smile. He just looked at me.

"Right..." Soul then sarcastically said as we both walked out into the hallway. After that, we had fallen silent for awhile but to me it was a good silence. I didn't mind it at all. I wasn't sure about Soul, but to me it wasn't awkward at all. Even if the only sound i could hear was the soft steps we both made. That's when i noticed how differently we walked. I looked down and watched his feet. His steps were - like everything else about him - lazy and heavily dragging themselves while mine were light weight and made me seem like a balloon of happiness.

Soon we were both walking down Shibusen's front steps. A perfect view of Death City sat before us as each of our feet descended down. "Stay here" Soul suddenly said as he kept walking. I stopped myself and watched him go. Why in the world would he go and say that?! Just as i was about to say something, he lifted a hand and waved it over his shoulder. "I'll be right back. Just sit tight" He then said before disappearing around the base of the staircase.

"Well now i kinda have no choice but to stay here" I muttered as i took a seat on the step above my feet. He would never know where he lived if i didn't wait. I let out a sigh soon after as i looked over Death City. What a strange but wonderful place. It led me back to Black*Star and it led me to Tsubaki and the Thompson sisters. And even if he was a symmetry nut, the city led me to Kid too. And just like fate had wanted it, Death City led me to the broken soul that needed my help. Soul Eater.

A roaring sound thrashed through the air and seemed to get louder. I stood up as soon as i heard it at the base of the steps and Soul came around the corner on his motorcycle. He stopped near the steps and looked up at me as i made my way down. But i slowed down half way there. "Come on, Come on" He nagged at my sudden change in pace. It was because i had noticed he wasn't wearing a helmet. In fact, he wasn't wearing anything to protect himself. I glared at him making him raise a brow. "What?" I pulled out my book.

"YOU IDIOT!" I yelled before smashing his head in with it. Soon after, Soul went crashing to the ground below as my book disappeared into my back pack. His body twitched down below as i took a seat on the bike. I then huffed and looked down at him. "Why in the world do you not own any helmets!!" I yelled. He stood up with a muscle pulsing in his forehead.

"I don't need any!" He yelled right back as he stood. "I'm good enough to drive without one" I raised a brow but, he didn't keep up with his small rant. He only sat on the bike in front of me and rubbed his head as he started the bike back up. "Man...so uncool..." he muttered. "You don't even know me and you're already hitting me with books..."

"Sorry" I sarcastically said; crossing my arms. "It's a bad habit."

I heard Soul let out a sigh after i said this, and after, he reached forward and grabbed the bike's handles. "Tell me where to go and hold on tight!" He yelled as the bike's engine revved a few times. I raised a brow.

"Hold on to what?!"

"Me idiot!"

Then without warning, he began driving down the road and i felt myself wrap my arms around his waist in surprise. He was warm...and at that very moment i heard a loud click within my mind again. As i told him where to go, i only wondered what it was...

And what it meant...
:icononigaspplz: Soul and Maka have their first convo!!!
HOLY CRAP!!
And she's happy to know that he'd gladly move in with her everyone. And so their adventure*cough*smalladventure*cough* shall officially begin!:iconxd--plz:

I wonder who ever will figure out the meaning of it first...
Maka? Or...the readers...?

Those of you who havnt seen or read it (which im sure you have since your reading this) heres a couple clips of the first three episodes. Each one announces each group XD
Maka and Soul Are my fav characters (besides Tsubaki) and they both are also my fav couple.

Episode 1--->Maka and Soul
Episode 2--->Black*Star and Tsubaki
Episode 3--->Death the Kid, Liz and Patty

In this story, the setting is Death City and, Shibusen(or DWMA in english) but its a regular High School in this story
Maka can see Souls so in this SoulXMaka story, her soul seeing abilities gets her mixed up with Soul Eater Evans.
A misterious boy in all her classes with a broken soul that shes desparate to fix!
