Chapter 4

Soul in Maka's body

Stein in his chair rolled toward the middle of the class. He took off his glasses and began to wipe off some smudges on them, "so Maka, is Soul planning on coming to class?" asked Stein as he teased Soul. He already knew what was going on. Soul looked toward Tsubaki, and Tsubaki let out a sigh.

"No Dr. Stein, I don't think he's gonna come to class...and as you can see, Black Star isn't here either." replied Soul gritting his teeth at the end. He slumped down placing his head into his hands, he really wished he was in his own body. He just didn't want to stay in class listening to some boring lecture...that was Maka's thing, and quit frankly he was in her body. Stein just chuckled and rolled back toward his desk.

Stein pulled out a bundle of papers from his desk. He held them up saying "Today you will be taking a quiz.". Soul began to freak out, letting out a little 'ugh', while other students sighed softly. Stein could easily tell that Soul was about to freak out.

Tsubaki looked toward Soul, noticing that he was freaking out. "Hey Maka...a-are you okay?" whispered Tsubaki as she reached a hand toward Soul's shoulder. He quickly looked back toward her, pulling away from her hand and smiled. Tsubaki was a bit startled by his action.

"Oh, i'm fine Tsubaki...definetly!" replyed Soul as he smiled causing some students to look up at him. "ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME...A TEST...NOW. Maka is gonna kill me..." thought Soul as he smiled at Tsubaki. By now Stein was holding back from laughing like a madman, but he easily hid it with a smirk.

"Now this is just a test to see what knowledge you know about this new chapter we are learning." said Stein as he began to pass out papers glancing at Soul. Soul let out a sigh and slumped back in Maka's seat. As soon as Soul got his paper Stein began to speak again. "Please do not write Idk, at least try to make a guess...okay begin." that was the last thing Stein said before passing out the rest and going back to his desk.

Soul pulled out one of Maka's pencils and began to write his name. "Shit forgot, write Maka's name..." thought Soul as he began to erase his own name he wrote and began to write Maka's name instead. After that he began to read some of the questions and noticed that most of them were multiple choice. He looked toward Kid to see that he was still on his name. "Okay...wait, what?" whispered Soul to himself as he re-read the first question.

" Hey I remember Maka talking about something like this...well more like nagging me about this." thought Soul as he bubbled in the answer he thought was correct. Maka was always looking ahead, studying the next chapter when they weren't even done with the one they were on. She would even nag him to read some of it, but he would just groan and walk away. But look he was half-finished with the test.

After about 15 minutes he was finished, he guessed on a couple of them, but most of them he answered what he thought was correct. "Well lets just hope they are correct, cause I bet Maka gets all correct, even if it's these kinds of tests ..." thought Soul as he put down the pencil on top of the test and simply just sat back and relaxed. Nothing to do he began to watch Kid...who was finally on the 'I' of his name.

"One more minute left." said Stein as he flipped through a magazine that had an animal on it, it probably was a book to order an animal to dissect. Ox ford looked back toward Soul and grinned, Soul gave a look back at him that said 'what the hell are you looking at baldy?' causing Ox ford to look back at his test. Soul wasn't really fond of Oxford but they were still friends, and Soul knew that him and Maka sort of had a rivalry on who would get the highest score.

Stein placed the magazine to the side and turned the screw on his head a couple of times. "Okay class, i'll take your test. After I get you're tests your excused from class." said Stein as he collected most of the student's test. Soul wasn't in a rush so he waited till he was the last. He finally stood when there was him, Stein, and Tsubaki. Kid had to go talk to his father so Liz and Patty left with him.

"Here Dr. Stein." said Soul as he handed Stein the test and whispered, "oh and Maka was talking all about this at home, so I didn't cheat.". Soul stretched, and when he felt a breeze on his thighs, he stopped and began to mess with the skirt Maka would always wear, "How the hell Maka?" thought Soul as he walked toward Tsubaki and left the class.

As soon as Soul left the room, he was tackled by Maka. Tsubaki stared in surprise at what she saw, which was Soul tackling Maka to the floor. Soul hissed in pain, today was not his day, "Ow, what the hell Mak-Soul? I ment Soul.". Soul hoped that Tsubaki didn't hear what he just said, but i guess she did cause she gave him the most confused looking face.

Maka quickly got up, pulling Soul up with her. "Um Maka we need to talk, would you please excuse us Tsubaki. Black Star's probably outside or something..." said Maka as she pulled Soul away leaving Tsubaki all alone by herself.

"What's going on?" asked Soul as he was being dragged down an empty hall by Maka. Maka finally let go of his hand and began to scratch her head. "It's Black star isn't it?" asked Soul with a smirk on his face. Maka nodded furiously.

"He's so freaking irritating...I mean even more when your all alone with him! how do you...I mean how does Tsubaki even!?..." said Maka as her tone began to get higher and higher. Soul placed a hand on Maka's shoulder causing her to sigh. "So what did you guys do in class?" asked Maka as she took her gaze off the floor.

"Um...well, we kinda...sort of...took a quiz." replied Soul as he blocked his head from an incoming Maka chop. She just stood there staring at him, it kinda freaked him out. "But is was a quiz to see what knowledge you have on the next chapter...I kinda think I did good.".

Maka simply sighed, "well at least it's not gonna be graded, but if I miss a test that will be graded cause of Black Star...I'm gonna kill him..." said Maka through gritted teeth as she clenched her fists. The two laughed a bit, but after they stopped laughing Soul noticed Maka frowning.

Soul took a hold of Maka's hand, catching her a bit by surprise. "Hey look Maka it'll be okay. I bet Stein and them are trying to find out how to change us back, and once they do...we'll be back to normal in no time!" said Soul as he smiled. It caused Maka to smile and nod.

"Oh ho ho! what is this I see?" laughed Liz as she stood at the entrance of the hallway. She was joined by Patty, who was laughing really loudly. Soul let go of Maka's hand, and both took a step back away from each other.

"Were doing nothing Liz." replied Soul in a cold tone. Maka agreed with Soul.

Liz smiled, "yeah sure. Well Lord Death wants to talk to both of you.". Soul and Maka stared at each other then back to Liz. "Come on let's get a move on. He didn't tell me why he wanted you two, he just told me to get you.".

They followed Liz and Patty to Lord Death's room, a bit curious why he wanted them. But then half way there they both thought, "It's probably about the mission...".
