A Valentine's day funeral

A Valentine's day funeral.

It was a week before Valentine's day, Soul wasn't too pleased when I told him that. The death scythe was more of a cool, layed out guy instead of a mushy person which I thought was pretty kickass. He did care though, but was afraid to become even closer to his friends, which made him somewhat distant. Liz and Patti were excited only because of the chocolates and other goodies that were being sold and given away for free while Death(the kid) sighed and watched, looking at how the chocolate's were perfectly equal on all sides. Eventually every 5-10 minutes he'd freak out due to some chocolates that were shaped like cupid, SO NOT EQUAL! Then he'd pass out while Liz and Patti would sigh and wake him up once more, only to go through the samething over and over again. Blackstar was staring at the pretty ladies who were at most of the stores, buying chocolates and giggling over men who winked and walked by, trying to be better he walked past the ladies and winked before either tripping or slamming into something(smoooooth..) Tsubaki stood from a distance watching her meister make a complete idiot out of himself as men and women walked by her, giggling and speaking of "love." I stood around blankly as Blair was flirting with Soul who was drooling all over the place while eying the woman's large breasts up. Man, that made me pissy.. I still hadn't developed, I felt left out or something like that. Oh by the way, my name's Maka Albarn I'm a meister or for short terms, Soul's partner/master. It was a few hours into the day when I spotted my father, flirting with different women as always which really pissed me off. Even though he was a total ass, I loved him and would do anything I could for him seeing as he was the only family member I had left. Blair eventually left with my father to most likely go and drink away his sorrow, Death was still obsessing over equal sided chocolates and to my surprise Blackstar eventually gave up on the impressing the ladies thing. I sighed and decided to take a walk while Soul was goofing off with Blackstar, Tsubaki stood next to the two guys in annoyance but watched boredly. "Oi oi, Maka!" Death called after me as I shifted on my feet and turned to see him on his knees, panting. I blinked watching sweat drip down his face, "Uh.. yea..?" I said as I extended my hand, helping him up slowly. "Why aren't you with Soul?" Death said, flicking some hair away from his eyes along with droplets of sweat. "Hm.. well why aren't you with Liz and Patti?" I replied, smirking which made him smirk in return as both females stepped up behind him. "They're with me, I was just wondering why Soul wasn't with you.." he said as I turned away, lowering my head. "He wants to hang out with Blackstar... I'm just going to um.. hang out alone.. this love stuff is kinda making me sick.." I replied and left as the other three went back down towards the stores, Soul caught me in the corner of his eye but kept wrestling with Blackstar. I walked past my dad and Blair who were laughing and carrying on about random stories before I reached a hill, I closed my eyes halfway and layed down on my back as I stared up at the sky. "Stupid valentine's.. stupid lo--" I was cut off as Soul sat down beside me, his white hair blowing infront of his bloody colored eyes, "Stupid what..?" Soul said, doing his dumb smirk which always made me smile deep inside. "Oh.. uh... nothing..." I replied and kept staring up at the sky as a breeze blew through my hair. "Hm.. didn't seem like nothing" he replied and layed down beside me as pink rolled across my cheeks faintly.

Six days before valentine's day, people were getting more and more giggly and love filled than ever. It made me sick to my stomach, knowing Tsubaki and Blackstar had a thing going on secretly while Death and Liz had something going on too. "Ugh.. all this love.." I said and slapped my forehead in annoyance as Soul smirked silently, walking up behind me. "I'm surprised you hate it.. and even more surprised you don't have a date yet" Soul grinned, making me jump and turn around to face him. "Hm.. what's that supposed to mean?" I said and frowned a bit which made Soul smirk even more, "Nothing.. just surprising.. in a way besides the fact your dad would kill any guy" he replied and walked away, leaving me to stand there dumbfound. Later that night I layed in my bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling which eventually blurred out when I fell asleep. I awoke early that morning, glancing to my calander which showed Valentine's day 4 days away, how lovely. I stretched and took a quick shower before getting changed. Right as I finished pulling my skirt on Soul walked in my room and froze, staring at my face which turned bright red as my wet hair sent droplets of water tumbling down the bare parts of my body showing. "I'm so sorry!!" Soul said as he face planted onto my hardwood floor, I laughed a bit and helped him up after brushing my hair and putting it up into pigtails. "It's fine you idiot, knock next time?" I replied, tilting my head a bit as I smiled. "Good idea.." Soul said and wiped the sweat away from his forehead, before grabbing my hand and leaving my room with me. "Huh?" I said and blinked as he drug me down the stairs and outside before looking to his left index finger, pointing out to the town which was almost completely.. PINK?! I groaned and watched heart shaped balloons float up towards the skies as Liz, Patti, Death, Tsubaki and Blackstar walked up beside us. "Isn't it beautiful?!" Tsubaki said and squeezed my shoulders, which made me shudder and shift back a little from everyone as they watched the city. Two days passed, leaving two more days for Valentine's day which was making my pains stronger and stronger. "Have a date yet?" Death asked me that day at lunch while we were all sitting around a large table, Soul choked on his food as Blair flashed him a seducing look. "Uh... kinda..." I replied, staring down at my clenched fists, Soul stared at me for a moment then back down at his food before getting up and leaving silently. I never noticed he left until Blair screamed and ran after him, Death rose a brow and sighed before going back to his plate of food. "Hey hey Soul!!" Blair screamed as he stopped and turned around, facing her. "Wanna be my valentine..?!" she smiled as Soul lowered his head a bit, "Sure.." he replied deeply as Blair giggled and kissed his cheek, dragging him back over with everyone else. I glanced up, instantly noticing Soul's and Blair's fingers entwined with one another's. "YAHOOOOOO!!!" Blackstar said and high-fived Soul's free hand, causing him to smirk and laugh. Death glanced over at me as I stood up quickly, knocking my plate of food to the ground next to me. Turning I walked away as some rain cloud's covered the sun before it began to pour. "What's up with her..?" Soul said as Death shrugged, opening the large umbrella that covered the whole table.

One day before Valentine's Day, I layed in my room as it kept pouring mixing it's sorrow with my own. I glanced to my door as a few knocks made my own thinking bubble vanish, standing up I went to the door and opened it. "Are you ok..?" Death said as lightning struck outside, followed by loud booms of thunder. "..perfect.." I replied and got ready to close the door, which was stopped by Death's foot. "No.. you aren't.." he said as tears burnt my emerald eyes. "Yes.. I am.. now please just go away!" I screamed and slammed the door, right after Death moved his foot. "Fine.." he said and left, I layed down back on my bed and cried for hours. "Soul I love you!!" I screamed into my pillow as the storm cleared, exposing the sun's bright rays as I heard couples scream for joy. Sitting up I wiped my eyes and slid a large linepapered book from beneath my mattress just as Soul stepped into my room, soaking wet. "Maka..." he said as I felt my eyes burn once more, "Just leave Soul..." I snapped at him as he left instantly, leaving a large puddle of water on the floor. I wrote for hours as the sky darkened but was then lit with pink, red, white and yellow fireworks. I tore the 5 sheets of paper from the book and left my room, leaving my house completely I walked to Soul's but knew quickly he'd be with Blair. I slid the papers under his door and walked out of the village, entering an area near Dr.Stein's I slid a rope from my shirt and tied it on the highest branch of a thick branched tree before making a loop at the end of it. "Life.. has been so cruel.. my father.. first soul being hurt... then this.." I said as tears stained my cheeks once more, sliding my head into the loop I slid from the branch as the ground came rushing forward but then stopped as I hung there, a crow cracked the silence of the rope's creeking. "I love you... soul.." I said and blacked out as my air supply was instantly cut, this was.. the end. It was Valentine's day when my body was found, Dr.Stein had seen me earlier in his lands and tried to find me but was too late when he got there. "Oh my god..." Patti and Liz said at the sametime as Dr.Stein taught class that day, he had to explain everything in every detail. "Does anyone know where Soul is..?" Dr.Stein said and got startled as Soul smashed the door open, holding 5 papers in his hands. "...Is she really...." Soul managed to say as tears flooded from his bloody colored eyes. "Yea... she is.." Blackstar said, squeezing his friend's left shoulder which shuddered as he cried. "Everyone.. class is dismissed.." Dr.Stein said as Soul left quickly. "What do the papers say...?" Death finally spoke as they were all sitting around the large table as couples were kissing and hugging in all directions. Soul cleared his throat and clenched his fists as his tears stopped, "Dear Soul; Hey.. It's Maka, as you can probably tell with my writing and all. But anyways, I've been meaning to tell you something lately.. I love you!!!!! I always have, and when you put yourself infront of me when we fought Crona I didn't know what to think, I know you could never love me, but I love you. You may seem like a jerk and stuff but deep down I know who you are, I'm still surprised you didn't know I loved you. But now I know you could never love me, Blair is so much better for you. Just like that one time you said 'She has a better body' I now know all men are the same, and still I should've told you my feelings. I really do love you.. but now.. I'll leave.. I really hope you become a good death scythe for someone worthy enough and can match your wave lengths better." He stopped there and bursted into tears again while everyone else read on, "Well.. this is depressing..." Tsubaki said and wiped her eyes as she finished reading the rest of the papers first.

Later that day, my funeral was held in the garden where I usually sat with Soul when we were done hunting. "M-maka..." my father wept into Shinigami's arms as everyone else cried, Soul didn't cry. Most likely because he already cried enough before while other's thought he was doing it to be cool, "Today.. we are here to pay our respects to Maka Albarn.." Dr.Stein said, blowing into a cloth. "She died a horrible death but will always be remembered, her last words were 'I love you Soul..' which we can guess, means she loved and likely died because of this love" he said which got everyone shuffling around a bit in confusion. "Maka Albarn, loved Soul" Dr.Stein said more clearly as everyone went silent and glanced to Soul who was staring down at my icey body, I remember I was so cold until Soul's warm lips touched mine. It was hours later when my body was lowered Six Feet beneath the surface, Soul stayed behind and sat on his knees next to my grave. "Maka.. I'm so sorry... I love you too!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE?!" he screamed and broke down once more as his fists clenched on his knees, "Oh Maka.. why..." Soul said once more as the sky lit up, I was lowered from it while feeling very light. "Soul.. you'll be happier now.." I spoke in a ghostly voice as Soul stared up in amazment, "MAKA!!" he cried out and tried to hug me, but went right through. "How can you possibly think I'd be happier with you gone?! I loved you!! And when you said you sort of had a date it hurt me but I thought you were happier!" Soul said as I froze and realized I did the wrong thing. "Soul.. I'm sorry.." I said and vanished in an explosion of sparkling tears, leaving him sitting there in shock and loveloss. I awoke the next day, sweating with my sheets of paper all over the place. "Oh my god.. that was a scary dream.." I said and heard a knock at my door, when I opened it Soul stood there with no one else. "Um.. hi Soul?" I said and blinked as he stepped in, closing the door behind him as his eyes were shadowed. "Maka.. I had a dream... and you died in it.." he said, trembling slightly which shocked me. "I had.. almost the same one!" I said after he explained. "Huh... what's this?" Soul said and looked at the papers, at the top it said, "A Valentine's Day Funeral." He read over it about 10 times I think before he looked at me in the eyes, "You love me?" he said trembling again as I felt my eyes sting as tears poured from them, in an instant I was locked in Soul's warm arms as he pressed his lips to my forehead. "Y..yes soul.. I love you.." I cried into his chest as he sat me on his lap while rubbing my back gently, trying to calm me down somewhat. Blackstar and the rest of the 'gang' walked into my room a few moments later and froze, watching Soul and I. "Let's leave.." I heard Death say as they all left, closing the door tightly as Soul had nuzzled into my neck, his warm breaths were trailing down my spine causing me to shiver. "I love you too.." Soul finally spoke as I stared at his face before our lips locked, wrapping my arms around his neck he pulled me deeper into the kiss as his own arms wrapped around my waist. Pulling away Soul rested his forehead against mine and smirked as I blushed, "How about we change that story's name to... 'A Valentine's Day Love Story.' He said as I moved my head and rested my chin on his left shoulder, "Seems like a good idea... but you have to help me with it.." I said softly as he pulled me into another passionate kiss..
