Hey everyone Fairun Roseabell here! Look I know it took me awhile to update for this one but I just didn't know how and where to start with this chapter for Unexpected Secrets. It took me awhile but I think I got something good. Also I apologize for the earlier chapters. In the first chapter, for some reason, Stein's name wouldn't show up which maybe caused some confusion. Anyways on worth to the chapter! *Points sword up in the air and charges*
With only those who knew Maka well, they could tell internally she was panicking. Soul sighed as he looked at her as she listened to the teacher and writing down notes but when he looked at what she was writing, it was just scribbles. He knew she was going to regret that later when she needed them the most though she might not need it after all because with how smart she was, she could pass anything. Soul sighed and tapped her shoulder to grab her attention, Maka looked his way with her eyes snapping out of haze and she immediately knew what it was about. She had been caught in her internal scrambling and she was going to tell him she was fine but he knew her better. So she sighed and shot him a look to leave it alone till after class but Soul was having none of that. He stood up picked her out of her chair, the whole class was looking at them making Maka want to die of embarrassment, and he dragged her out the classroom with the teacher yelling at Soul.
"Okay Maka spill." Soul demanded after they were a distance from the classroom where they couldn't hear the teachers shouting.
"Soul you can't just do that! I was writing down notes!" Maka protested.
Soul scoffed, "Lying is so uncool Maka. Sure you were writing notes down. Notes of just random lines."
She sighed, "Yeah I admit I wasn't paying 100% attention. I was just distracted."
"About what?" Soul asked resting his hand on her shoulder.
"M-Maka we al-already talked about t-this." They heard Crona and turned to see Crona, Tsubaki, Black Star, Death the Kid, Patty, and Liz.
Maka groaned, "I know that but I'm nervous still."
"About what?" The group asked question marks appearing above their heads, minus Tsubaki and Crona.
"Well about me being and weapon and being with Black Star. My dad's a scythe so I might be a scythe too and Black Star is used to assassin weapons!" Maka was about to continue when Soul held his hand over her mouth and she glared at him.
"Maka your overthinking it! I, Black Star, will be able to handle anything you throw at me! I'm a God after all!" Black Star said throwing his head back and laughing.
Even though the way Black Star did it wasn't that great, just hearing from Black Star made Make feel a little better. She didn't know why it did, maybe it was because he was going to be her Mister till she got her weapon blood mastered. Yeah that was probably it.
"What are you all doing out here in the hall and not in class?" Asked a voice and the group turned to look at Dr. Stein.
"Professor Stein! I apologize they dragged me out of class to ask me questions. We'll get to class now!" Maka said as she grabbed Soul's hand and assured the others to follow.
Fraken Stein nodded and the kids headed back to class. The teacher scolded all of them and Maka apologized on their behalf. Maka went through class focusing on the teacher but her hands were sweating. Today was the day she changed into her weapon form with Black Star. She didn't even know if she could call out her form because every time her blades came out she mentally wasn't there. Class finally ended and it was time to go to Professor Stein with Black Star.
Maka groaned as she got up already knowing that the lesson was going to be a long one, "Yo Maka!"
Said female turned her head to see Black Star cheerfully waving his arms at her, "Black Star you look like a idiot!" She scolded as she walked to his side.
Maka was surprised when he took her hand and leaned his body close to hers, "Don't panic so much Emerald. Relax a bit." He whispered in her ear his lips brushing against her ear.
Maka was frozen for a couple of seconds before she snapped back to reality and with a shout she knocked Black Star out with her book. Maka ended up dragging Black Star's body to where Stein asked to meet them with a red face. She calmed down before entering the room and she threw the blue haired Meister in the circle. This was the room that Stein used to test Maka and Soul's wavelength when Maka asked to get stronger.
"Ah you two arrived though Black Star isn't awake." Fraken Stein looked at the knocked out teenager.
"He'll wake up in a bit. Watch." Maka sucked in a breath and screamed surprising the Professor.
Black Star shot up wide awake not paying attention to his bleeding head and had his fists ready to fight, "WHERE'S THE DANGER?! WHAT HAPPENED MAKA?!"
"I'm fi-" Maka started to speak but Black Star rushed to her grabbing her shoulders and closing in on her face checking for any injuries, "B-BLACK STAAAAAAARRR!"
An embarrassed Maka punched him in the face and he stumbled back holding his cheek, "I was checking if you were alright! You screamed!"
Maka's face was in flames, "DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PERSONAL SPACE?!"
Black Star winced and shrunk down a little, "Alright that's enough. You two obviously have some kinks in the way you two interact with each other."
Maka calmed down and her face went back to normal, "What do you mean by that?"
"Maka is quick to attack while can be Black Star overbearing." Stein said screwing the screw in his head, "It wouldn't much as a problem if you were both Misters but Maka is one of your weapons now Black Star. It is her duty to protect you just like Soul did."
Black Star's eyes were shadowed by his hair, "I'm not letting Emerald be hurt because of me."
"Star I can handle it-" Maka started but Black Star cut her off with a shout.
"I'M NOT LETTIMG YOU GET HURT AGAIN! ESPECIALLY NOT FOR MY SAKE!" Black Star was panting.
"Than what am I supposed to do?! I am now one of your weapons and I can handle myself! I can't partner with anyone else because our Soul Wavelengths won't match! You don't have to protect me anymore, just have faith in me that I will make it out alright." Maka responded.
"What about your last mission?! You call that 'having a handle on it'?! You could've died!" Black Star shouted tears in his eyes.
"Well I didn't and I will not die on anyone just yet. I still have to make Soul the Death Scythe and I have many more things to accomplish." Maka said firmly and Stein quietly watched the exchange, "You have to get passed it Star like I did with Soul. Weapons are not just there to protect you and be your weapon their also there to be your friend and be there for you. I learned that with Soul."
Black Star looked away and marched around the room, "Should we end this session?" Frank Stein asked Maka.
"No he'll come around. He's always been protective of me even when we stopped hanging out as much as we did. He just needs to let that go. I'm not the same little girl." Maka said and Black Star stopped pacing around the room.
Black Star sighed, "Fine I'll agree to one condition."
"What is that?" Maka asked watching Black Star.
Black Star looked around avoiding looking into her eyes, "You live with me and Tsubaki."
Maka seemed to think for a moment before she turned to Professor Stein, "Being a weapon is temporary until I can learn how to control it, correct?"
"Yes it is. You can go back to being a Mister with Soul." Stein nodded.
"Then the living arrangements will be temporary also." Maka announced turning to Black Star.
Black Star cheered and was surprised at the fact that she sort of agreed. He rushed to Maka and grabbed her in a tight hug picking her up from the ground. Maka winced and started pushing at him to let her go. When that didn't work she pulled out her book, from who knows where, and hit him hard on the head with her book giving him a Maka Chop. Black Star let her go and crumbled to the ground nursing his head.
"I didn't do it that hard, be grateful. Besides you were really hurting my stomach." Maka said and Black Star stood up.
"Let me see it." Professor Stein said and she blushed but pulled her shirt up slightly.
Her stomach had stitches in it and it looked irritated with some blood, "We're getting that cleaned up. Let's go." Black Star said quietly and took her hand leading her out the room.
"Wait Black Star we can wait for that! We need to do the lesson!" Maka protests were ignored as Black Star shut the door.
He continued to drag her to the Infirmary even when she tried to dig her heels into the ground. She then attempted to Make Chop him but he was narrowly dodging her attempts. Naigus opened to door as Black Star knocked holding a struggling Maka. Naigus already knew what he wanted so she checked Maka's stiches and cleaned up the little blood making sure it didn't get infected. Black Star's expression was serious and disheartened when watching Naigus clean the wound. The look on Balck Star's went away as Maka put her shirt down and she marched out the room knowing Black Star was going to follow her.
"Black Star that was unnecessary it was only a little blood and it hurt a little." She scoffed as she continued looking straight.
"You know I don't like you being hurt. I'd rather not risk something happening." Black Star said
"We've both changed from when were little kids. You don't always have to look out for me or protect me. I'm not the same girl I was when I was little. I don't need to be watched over." She said as Black Star caught up to her.
"We might've changed and grew distant but my feelings for you haven't changed. I'll always care for you and that's why I look out for you." Black Star said his face emotionless and he opened the door to Steins training room.
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" She asked and he pretended not to hear as he entered the room.
Professor Stein turned to them as they entered the room, "Ah welcome back."
Maka was about to ask Black Star on what he meant but decided against it, "Yes sir, we are ready to began the lesson."
"Alright now Maka are you ready to release your weapon?" Professor Stein asked.
She nodded, "Though I don't want to be a weapon but I must do this to continue."
"Concentrate and focus on your entire being. Imagine your blades forming into your arm." Maka closed her eyes and listened to what Stein was saying.
Her body jerked and her right arm formed into a black and gray blade formed in triangles. Fraken nodded at her progress and let her try with the rest of her body, she didn't struggle much. Besides Make was always a fast learner.
"Good now we're going to try for your weapon. I have an idea on what it might be bit I can't be for sure. You don't have a weapon to imagine so your going to have to focus on your entire body forming into something you don't know. It'll be a bit difficult but you can do it Maka." The teacher said and Maka nodded her eyes closing again.
As Maka continued to steady breath a bright golden light surrounded her and it grew it more intensity. Her Grigori Soul was let lose so even Black Star could see it and her soul spread their wings out. Stein looked shocked as him and Black Star we're blinded by the bright light.
"She couldn't be… That could she?" Stein said and Black Star looked at the professor worriedly.
"What do you mean by that?!" Black Star asked and Maka flew up forming into her weapon the bright light still shining.
The light engulfed the room causing the two misters to cover their eyes until they heard a clank in front of them and the light died out. Stein looked at the new weapon of on the floor with amazement and Black Star looked shocked.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Black Star shouted.
Alright that is the end of this chapter! Yes I know I'm leaving it on a cliffhanger and you guys don't get to know Maka's weapon. Don't be mad please! I have to get to my other stories and if I introduce her weapon now the chapter will be too long. Anyways, before y'all can kill me, Chow Chow Fairun Roseabell out!
