Sorry guys, I got really sick and felt like crap. I tried writing this chapter while I was sick and it sucked. I did a big time skip so you will figure out where it is in the tour. Oh and I am also sad to say...Soul Protectors is ending soon... It's sad, but I think it's run it's course. So maybe five or six more chapters...

Maka's PoV:

"MAKA HURRY UP!" Liz banged on the door...again.

"I'm ready, chill out." I came out of the dressing room. Liz, Tsubaki and Patty were standing around the small space. They just finished their make-up.

I had on a black layered ruffle skirt. Some of the layers were camo. The layers would cut so at random so some parts are longer than others. It had golden chains hanging down from either side connecting in the front and back. To match I wore a camo tank top. Also a lose black tie. I had on fingerless fishnet gloves that were black, my nail polish black. On my wrist was a golden charm bracelet. My hair was down in lose curled. For earrings I had on chain tassels that started black and faded to green.

Liz had on black ripped jeans with a camo tank. On her feet were black boots. Her hair was in a high pony tail with a clip underneath it to spike it up more. She had fishnets like mine on with green nail polish. For earrings, she had golden hoops with a black star in the middle. She also wore a black choker. Her eye shadow was black with eye liner and mascara.

Patty had on camo jean shorts with black ripped leggings underneath. A black tank top was under a camo half shirt that hung off her right shoulder. Her boots were black. She also had on fishnets but they were just green, with golden nail polish. Her hair was down and wavy. she wore gold and black feather earring. Her make up was the same as Liz's.

Tsubaki had on a strapless camo dress with black lace over it. The dress was tight around her waist and up, then ruffled out, stopping mid-thigh. Underneath she had on black leggings with flower designs to match the lace on the dress. Her fishnet gloves were green. Liz painted her nails black. She had on black boots that went to the middle of her calf. Her earrings were black chain tassels that went to the middle of her neck. She wore a simple necklace. It was a chain that went down to the beginning of the dress, on it was just a black star. Her hair was down and curled. She had on black eye shadow and mascara with gold eyeliner.

"Finally! Everyone ready?" Patty asked.

We all nodded our head and ran to the stage.

The guys were there standing by the curtain watching the band on stage play. This wasn't like the weeks past of the tour. This show we did with five other bands. Each band got to play two different songs.

The guys all wore a camo shirt, black jacket, jeans and shoes. The only difference was Soul's jeans were ripped.

"What took you guys so long?" Kid asked.

"We're girls. what do you expect?" Liz asked him. He just shrugged an answer. Soul came up to me.

"Nice outfit." He whispered in my ear.

"Thanks." A small smile crept up on my face. "You too."

The announcer voice came on over head. I was handed a mic and we walked out on stage. "How are you guys doing tonight?" I received a jumble of screams in return.

Soul's PoV:

I looked out at the crowd as Maka spoke. The lights were bright so I could only see the first few rows. The rest of the auditorium I could make out shapes here or there but everything was black.

"So Chicago, are you ready to rock?" I asked after Maka stopped talking.

"This song is called Hero." Liz said. Tsubaki started the song, and then Liz joined her.

(Soul: Bold, Maka: Italics)

I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
Fallin' off the edge today

I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate

It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live

As I sang the chorus the crowd sang with me. I walked to the left side of stage, Maka to the right.

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me just in time

I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speakin' my mind today
My voice will be heard today

We walked past each other as we walked across the stage. When Maka reached were I stood she bent down and high-fived some fans.

I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today

It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me just in time

I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time

We met up again and sang the last part standing side by side.

Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die

Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero I've got a hero
Livin' in me

I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die

A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me just in time

I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive

I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I need a hero
I need a hero

A hero's gonna save me just in time

Everyone ended the song together. And we went straight into the next one. I could already feel the sweat dripping down my back from walking and jumping around and the lights.

I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms

Maka and I had a dance that we had to do for this song. We started out flawlessly.

It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up

In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

Tsubaki did a quick solo.

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up

Everyone again ended at the same time. The others put down the instruments and walked up next to Maka and I. "Thank you so much!" Liz yelled grabbing Maka's mic from her.

"It's really amazing to be play here. I hope you have a good rest of summer!" Patty shouted.

"GOOD NIGHT CHICAGO!" Well screamed together and hopped down from the stage, instead of going back stage again. There's a little path to a side door we can use. As we walked fans tried to grab us, but the body guards didn't let that happen.

We walked out into the swarm of people and cameras. I grabbed Maka and put my arm around her shoulders. She brought her hand up and held mine. We walked like that threw the crowd. People shouted questions at us like, 'Are you and Maka together?' and 'Soul, why don't you kiss her for the camera.'

I ignored them. We got out of the crowd and headed to the truck, though we don't have a driver, Blackstar likes to drive. He hopped into the driver's seat, Tsubaki sat next to him. The rest of us in the back. Maka and I sat in the to captain seats, with Liz, Patty, and Kid in the way back.

"Okay where to?" Blackstar asked and started the engine.

"Let's do Italian!" Patty yelled.

Maka pulled out her ipod and searched for a bit and then spoke. "Let's go to Coco Pazzo. It's on 300 W Hubbard Street." She said and put her ipod away. We got there pretty fast because of Blackstar's speeding. We got a table and ordered our food. There wasn't that many people in the restaurant. A family of four, some teenagers hanging out in the back, a couple on a date by the door.

Soon one of the teenagers came up to us. "Hi, can I have your autograph?" She was wearing a black tank-top and purple skinny jeans. Her hair was dyed black with blonde highlights. She held out a piece of paper and pen.

"Sure." Maka said and gave the girl a small smile. Maka took the stuff from the girl. "What's your name?"

"Jen." Maka scribble something down and handed around the table. We all signed it and handed it back.

"It's nice to meet you." Tsubaki said and shook the girl's hand.

"Did you go to our concert?" I asked.

"No, sadly, I couldn't afford the tickets. Plus they wore sold out like that." She snapped with her right hand.

"Oh sorry." Liz said

"Eh, it's okay. I'll see you guys sometime." She smiled. "Well I gotta go. It was really great to meet you." She waved and ran out the door to catch up with her friends.

"So Maka are you used to that yet?" I asked her bumping her slightly.

"Nope. There is no way I'm getting used to that." She shook her head.

"Even though the tour is almost over?" Kid asked. "I thought you would be used to it now."

"How can you get used to something like that?" She asked and took a sip of her tea.

"To be honest, I got no idea." I said as the food came.

We ate and laughed about random thing. Once we finished we paid and left. Everyone piled back into Blackstar's blue truck and we went to our tour bus.

"Okay guys. We have two more shows to do, and then we are done and home." Stein said once we got on.

"Where?" I asked sitting on the couch. I pulled Maka down to sit on my lap.

"The next on is in Omaha. At the Centurylink Center." Stein said looking at his chart.

"And where will the last one be?" Kid asked taking a drink of water.

Stein just walked off the bus to his car where Marie and Crona were waiting. "Okay then." Maka said. "I'm gonna go change." She started to get up but I locked my arms around her.

"Nope, you can't leave." I said and kissed her neck.

"Soul.." She whined but then laughed.

"I'm sorry you can't." I told her. Before she could protest a took her mouth captured with mine. She gave in and turn her body so it was facing mine and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her fingers tangled in my hair.

In the next minute or so, a pillow was thrown at our heads. "Get a room." Liz said.

I smiled at her. "Gladly." I picked Maka up and took her to the girls' room. I set her on her feet and kissed her cheek. "Get changed." I told her and shut the door.

Then I walked over to the boys' room and changed myself. I came out a minute later wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt.

"What are you watching?" I asked and sat down next to Blackstar.

"The news. There's nothing on." He said just glancing at me. "Where do you think the last place we play will be?" He asked

"I have no idea. It's Stein were talking about. It could be across the country."

At about midnight Kid, Liz and Patty all went to bed. Maka was reading a book, Tsubaki making tea, while Blackstar and I were playing a video game. Well more like I was playing and Blackstar was spacing off.

"Dude, what is with you?" I asked pausing the game.

He looked over at me. "What do you mean?"

"All week you haven't said one thing about being Godly and you keep spacing."

"Oh." Was the only response I got. I was getting annoyed.

He wasn't even looking at me. I looked where he was. He was staring at Tsubaki in the kitchen. "You're kinda pathetic right now you know that right?" I asked.

He snapped his head back to me. "Are trying to pick a fight with a God?" He asked.

I laughed. "Tsubaki!" Maka yelled for the couch. "Blackstar wants to ask you something!" I looked at her and smiled. "Oh," She looked at Blackstar. "If you don't ask her out I will do it for you."

Blackstar got wide-eyed as Maka said that. "Yes, Blackstar?" Tsubaki came out.

He looked at Tsubaki and then glanced at Maka. He stood up and walked over to her. He didn't say anything he just kissed her. "Good." I heard Maka whisper. I smiled and sat down next to her.

"Would have really asked her out for him if he didn't?" I asked her.

She thought about it for a second. "Tsubaki wouldn't have believed me." I laughed.

"Nice." She smiled and kissed me.

"I'm going to bed." With that she got up and walked away.
