~Welcome to the Band~

Chapter Nine

Maka POV:

"You saw me?"

"You saw her?" I asked after Tsubaki asked the same question. I turned back to Tsubaki and she just smiled, trying to be as innocent as possible. "Continue." I said gritting my teeth together so I wouldn't l at her.

"So he tuned in on the booth and put you on the speakers for everyone to hear. I thought it was a flawless plan. That was until I found out that Soul and Black Star were looking for someone to replace some old band member." I was surprised and still a little mad, so I Maka chopped the closes person next to me. Sorry Soul. It was for a good cause.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow," He said under his breath and gave me a death glare. "What the hell was that for?" He asked holding his head that now had a dent in it.

"Sorry, I just couldn't bring myself to hit Tsubaki. So I hit the closes person next to me, which was you." He didn't look happy. He looked madder than the first time I hit him . . . Maybe because this time it wasn't his fault. "Did I say I was sorry?" He just sighed deeply.

"Why don't I just introduce you to everyone a little better?" Soul said while having a face that said "Breath in, breath out". Then Soul gestures over to Liz and Patty. "You know Liz and Patty are right?" I nodded so he could continue. "They are the stylist. They are the ones who do make-up, clothing, and hair. A little piece of advice, since you're a girl, Liz will attack you she doesn't like what you wear." I turned my head to Liz to see her smiling devilishly and nodding. I don't know if I should feel thankful for a friend who watching me or worried to the fact that I might get tackled for wearing something wrong.

Next he pointed to Black Star who was starting to stir but still not completely conscious. "Black Star is our drummer, third male vocalist, and he plays the bass guitar which he can fill in for Kidd. Kidd here plays the bass guitar, second male vocalist, and plays the piano when needed. I'm the lead singer, first male vocalist, piano, and guitar, mostly lead. You my friend are the female vocalist; of course we will need to work on your little kink. You also said that you knew how to play the guitar so you will be playing mostly lead guitar. We probably need to help you out there too."

"No, I can play the guitar on stage."

Soul POV:

"What? But I thought you said that you had-"

"Yes, when I sing but I didn't say anything about the guitar. I can play that without freezing up, but I'm a little rusty. It's been almost two years since I touched it. So I might need a little bit of time to practice. Other than that I can play." Maka said cutting into my sentence.

"That's great! You just need to practice and you're good. Okay I think we can make this work. That way we can help you out with your stage fright at the same time." I turned away from Maka and face the rest of my group. Who by the way is completely lost, except Tsubaki who is following and Black is still out, but is waking up. Damn, she must have hit him hard. No wonder why he's traumatized when Kid carries around any thick books.

"Tsubaki, I need you to fit the rest of the group in." I said facing her. She nodded and gathered everyone around. Turning back to Maka, I asked: "Okay Maka, we have a gig in two more weeks, do you think that you can relearn or reteach yourself how to play again?"

"I think that I can, but I'm going to need a little bit of help, I kind of forgot some of the strings."

"That's fine; I can help you since you will be playing the same position as me." I reassured her. She smiles and nodes her head.

Author, Narrator, or Whatever POV:

When Black Star awoke, Tsubaki started explaining to the rest of the group what's happening. Maka and Soul were going over the setting for the Maka's lessons before the gig. While everyone was busy with their own things, they fail to notice that a certain purple hair woman walking in the living room.

"Hey guys, nya! Whatcha' doing?" The purple headed woman asks.

"Oh, it's you Blair. Nice of you to show" Kidd said gentlemanly.

"So, what does the world think of us?" Soul asked the woman that is now known as Blair. She had golden color cat-like eyes, a dark shade was lavender purple, and wore a dark blue, almost black color T-shirt that said 'Lonely Shadows' in white lettering. Along with fade light blue jeans that stop a little lower than her mid-thigh and white heels.

"It's the same as always. You know the usual, 'Black Star is an awesome drummer. Soul has a wonderful voice. Kidd has nice looking hair. Why did Karla have to leave the band?' You know stuff like that." Blair said in the examples in a girly voice. She was looking at everyone and saw Black Star standing next to a tall girl with long black hair in a ponytail. Then saw another girl who's shorter than the first girl. She had ashy hair that was in two pigtails, standing next to Soul.

"Hello, I'm Blair." The cat like woman introduced herself to the two teens. "And who might you too be?"

"It's very nice to meet you Blair-chan. My name is Tsubaki." She said give a little bow at the end of her introduction. Blair just gave a wave and faced Maka.

"Hello, I'm Maka. It's nice to meet you as well." Maka said and giving Blair a hand shake.

Maka, Tsubaki," Kidd said to get their attention. "Blair here is an advertiser. She asks for people on their option on our band. If our fans have a problem or any suggestions within the option, Blair comes and tells us and we try to fix it. But there has to be a certain amount number of fans to say the give their option on it, or else we don't do anything about it. For example: Blair has gotten a lot of request saying that they want Karla back in the band. So we had to do something about that. Until we heard you sing." Kidd explained to us. (A/N: In this story Blair is not a whore, stripper, slut, or anything like that. Sorry for the readers who wanted her to be like that way.)

"Yeah, thanks a lot Tsubaki." Maka said giving her a glare. Tsubaki just laughed nervously.

"Oh, come on Maka, give Tsubaki a break. It not she knew we were there." Liz said trying to calm down Maka.

"Fine." Maka said then looked at her watch. "I think that I should be getting home now. I need to go prepare dinner."

"Maybe, I can take you home?" Soul asked Maka

"Sure, since you already know where I live." Maka answered then faced Black Star. And you, you own me a new door." She pointed that the blue hair boy.

"A GOD LIKE ME OWES SOMEONE LIKE YOU NOTHING! IN FACT YOU OWE YOUR GOD SOMETHING INSTEAD!" Black Star yelled.

"MAKAAAA . . ."

Okay! Okay! I'll get you a new door! Just stop hitting me!" Black Star yelled while holding his shielding his head for protection.

"Thank you." Maka said in a cheerful voice with a smirk of victory.

"Wow, who knew a book could make someone like Black Star agree to pay for anything." Liz said shocked that Black Star gave in so easily.

"Well, I guess you learn something new every day, and in this case, it's to never mess with Maka." Kidd pointed out, only to get nods from the rest of the group.

"Oh, come on guys it can't be that bad." Maka said defending herself.

"Have you ever got hit by that thing?" Soul asked.

"Um, no, but I always saw my mom used it on my dad, and he turned out alright . . . somewhat alright." Maka said.

"Whatever. Come on let me take you home." Soul said walking towards the door.

"Well, it was nice meeting all of you. I really enjoyed hanging out with you all." Maka said also walking to the exit. She smiled and gave them all a waved before she closed the front door.

Outside Maka heard something start and revved rather loudly. She turned towards the source of the noise and saw Soul smiling on an orange painted motorcycle.

She looked at it and smiled. "This is a joke, right?" Okay enough joking around and get your car." Maka said.

"What joke? This is my ride. I don't have a car, but something much cooler." Soul said mentioning his orange vehicle.

"I AM NOT GETTING ON THAT THING! DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE?" Maka screamed at him, but Soul's smile turned into a big smirk.

"Come on. She won't bite." Soul said in a childish voice.

"Oh, so now it's a she. Why am I not surprise." Maka snapped back, crossing her arms across her chest, and turning a different direction.

"Just get on the bike." Soul demanded Maka who is acting like a child.

"No. I like to be alive you know." Maka replied, still not moving.

"Look, do you want to get home? Yes or no?" Soul asked. "Last chance."

"Fine!" Maka said finally giving in. She hopped on the bike and tried to grab onto something. She found metal bars, but was unsure if it would keep her from falling.

"Unless you want to fall off, I suggest that you hold on to me." Soul said with a huge grin.

"You would love that wouldn't you?" Maka said sarcastically. Soul chuckled.

Soul and Maka finally reach her house, after what seemed like forever in Maka's opinion. She walked up to her apartment room, with Soul following right behind her, because that's what cool guys like him do. Once they reach her door, Maka invited Soul for some refreshments. He accepted and she unlocked her door only to be tackled by her father.

Maka! My dear angel, where have you been? Papa missed you so much!" Maka father, Spirit cried while hugging his daughter into a death grip.

"Somewhat alright?" Soul said mocking her words on her father that she said earlier.

"P-papa . . . I-I can't b-breathe . . ." Maka said with little air she had left. Her father let her go while glaring at Soul by the doorway.

"Maka, who's this?" Spirit asked losing all of his childish voice, only to be replaced with a fatherly tone.

"I'm Soul Eater."

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. But I hoped you enjoyed it. I was out of town camping and then went straight to Las Vegas for a concert. If you like "Warrant" or "Skid Row" band then you know what I'm talking about. If you know any of these songs then you should know the bands.
