SOUL EATER - SoMa Fanfiction - Tears of Ruby And Emerald

Chapter II: The Unborn Surprise

The next flow of events was with haste and sorrow. A lot of the latter. Soul, his heart ripped apart but also embedded in an untamable rage, nearly killed Hiro for defiling his precious loved one to a point where bruises and cuts were clothing to him. Maka stopped him from ending his life; not because of Hiro, of course but more because she didn’t want her boyfriend to go to jail for murder, even though he had every right to commit one at the moment. But the worse moment of that event was Soul barking the most painful words at Maka, and her being able to reply with nothing but tears.

“All that talk about men being pigs and backstabbers, being cheaters and all!” He screamed to her with rivers flowing on his cheeks. “You end up being the thing you despised the most!”

Maka was barely standing up, covered with her blanket. Shame was written all over her and her tears seemed to be never-ending.

“I hope you’re proud…” Calm bitterness talked in Soul’s voice. “You ended up being just like your father!”

“Soul, please…” She managed to say. “I’m sorry… Just… let me explain—”

“What? You were mad at me to a point you had to cheat on me? You were drunk? Please, spare me that! You’ve been drunk several times and never had you gone overboard to open your legs to any other guy!”

A short silence fell. Only Maka’s sobbing filled it.

“Yeah, I skipped on you on the cleanup…” He wiped his tears, but new ones came right after. “I did… But did I truly deserve this?”

“Of course not…!” She said desperately.

“Then why…? WHY?”

“I…” She could only shook her head, not sure of what to give as an answer. Saying that she was drunk wasn’t good enough. Even she didn’t understand why she did it.

Soul turned away from her. She wanted to lay her hand on him, to share and ease his pain, to hold him, but he smacked it away. A stinging pain rippled in Maka’s hand and wrist, eyes shocked with the gesture.

“Keep the ring…” Soul said. “It just doesn’t mean anything… not anymore…”

“Soul…” Maka seemed to know the next words to come. “Please, no… don’t…”

Desperately, she laced her arms around his neck, holding him as if her life was in jeopardy. In a certain way, it was the case. But Soul delicately unlaced them and detached himself from her. These eyes were hooded by his white bangs, but the redness in them completely had lost their crimson passionate light. He walked out slowly from the room and the house leaving these painful words resonating in the atmosphere despite their sad sounds, “Goodbye Maka…”

***

A week happened since the end of their relationship. Well, it was the end for Soul, yet not for Maka. She had desperately tried to get to contact him in every way possible: email, text messages, phone calls, social networks, you name it. But Soul decided to ignore them.

The news rippled like the biggest shockwave of all-time to their friends. Black*Star, who was Maka’s oldest friend became instantly bitter towards her, but Tsubaki cried rivers of tears wondering how it had happened. Considering she was Maka’s best friend, let’s just say her heart was more than just disappointed. Patty was sad about it, Kid shocked and surprised; he couldn’t just believe it, but seeing his albino friend’s state, he knew it had happened. But among all of their friends, Liz was the one who took it the hardest. When Maka had tried to contact Soul by coming over Gallows Mansion, she gunned down the blonde scythe-meister with awful insults at her and with bullets threatening her to end her life in the most painful way if she even dared coming back. Kid and Tsubaki had to hold her down while she ran away back home, where it had become a souvenir of her worst memory.

Maka was all alone in her house. She was still calling Soul on his cellphone, and of course she got the vocal inbox. It must have been her 95th attempt to reach him.

“It’s me again…” Her voice cracked in sadness. “Please, I’m sure we can work this out. I’m sorry… please come back to me. I… I can’t live without you, Soul… I’ll do anything. But call me back, okay? I love you.”

On that, she hung up with renewed tears. Blair held her dearly in her arms try to console her, but nothing was effective. The purple cat felt incredibly guilty as she was the one who let Hiro take Maka home on that dreadful day. She promised herself to bombard the blonde bastard with an army of Pumpkin Blasts.

“What am I going to do, Blair?” Maka sobbed. Since Soul left, she hardly slept and ate anything. It was starting to show. It was as if life itself lost its purpose when her ex-boyfriend left her. If Soul wasn’t there, then what’s the point, she thought.

“Don’t worry, Maka.” Blair said. “He’s mad right now, but give it time. He’ll come back.” Even her words weren’t very confident.

The doorbell rang. Maka was oblivious to it until Blair mentioned it. Blair went to answer it and a tall woman with long black hair that covered her shoulders occupied the door frame.

“Oh, hi Tsubaki.” Blair said. “Maka will be happy to see you.”

“Hi Blair.” She smiled, but there was a glimpse of sadness in it. “How is she?”

Blair waved her head and her glare fell. “It’s getting worse… she won’t sleep nor eat, she keeps constantly calling Soul, but he won’t reply to anything… I just… don’t know what to do.”

Tsubaki held her in her arms. “There, there…” The comfort was more than welcome. Yet it didn’t solve the problem for Maka. Among all of her friends, Blair, Patty and Tsubaki were the only ones she had left. And their combined support for her was not enough. They were losing the battle and God knows to what extend Maka was ready to go to get Soul’s attention. Something terrible might happen.

“We’ll be there for Maka, don’t worry.” Tsubaki said. “It’s a very rough road for her and Soul, and yet… I believe there is still a chance for them to be together again.”

Blair couldn’t help but smile. Tsubaki; she was always like that. No matter the situation and how deep it was in darkness, she kept her serene smile for others. That’s what made her so unique.

The two of them went to the living room. Tsubaki started greeting Maka, but the two of them fell shocked in fear of the display of Maka on the ground completely unconscious and very pale. Not far from her was a splat of vomit. They knew she hadn’t eaten much during this week, but her expelling more food would be dangerous for her.

“Maka!” Tsubaki grabbed her in her arms gently. She called for her and no response. “Blair, call Stein now!”

“Right!” Nervousness rippled through her, but she flipped her phone to contact him. While having the blond meister in her arms, Tsubaki also caught her phone to dial another important number.

***

Soul was staying at the Gallows Mansion. Kid didn’t mind at all and told him he could stay as much as he liked. Truth be told, he needed that. His house reminded him too much of how his heart got broken. It was a pain beyond measure.

If Maka’s state was shaken, his wasn’t better. He, too, lost his appetite, but still ate not to worry his friends. But it didn’t work. Deep pockets formed under his eyes. He couldn’t sleep. And when he did, the blazing image of Maka being pleasured by Hiro wrecked his mind to pull him to a dreadful awakening in the middle of the night. He wanted to forget her, but he just couldn’t.

He stared blankly at the large flat TV. It was a cooking TV show, but he didn’t pay attention to it, not at all. He was just lost, oblivious to all around him.

“Hey.” Soul jumped a little turning his head to Liz patting his shoulder. “You’re okay?”

“Yeah, sure!” He lied, steading himself well on the couch. “You guys need anything? I can help with something, you know.”

Soul was restless ever since he came to live with Kid, Patty and Liz. He worked around the mansion, which was great as he was doing his share.  Yet, he went beyond his efforts. He looked a bit maniacal about it. He fixed some things around the house, cooked, cleaned and even placed things in a symmetrical way which was a feat for him. But the trio knew he was escaping his sleep. He didn’t want to sleep. He didn’t want to see Maka and Hiro “together” again.

“No, we’re fine.” Liz said.

“But you need to rest, dude.” Black*Star and Kid came, along with Patty.

“I can’t…”

“But Soul…” Patty said with a worrying voice. It was unusual to see her speak as such. “You’re killing yourself.”

“Trust me. You just need to forget her and move on.” Black*Star said with a fang in his tone. “She doesn’t deserve to have you pained like that.”

“I agree,” added Liz. “If she ever steps here again, I’ll make sure to go for a head shot this time.” She, too, was bitter.

“DON’T YOU THINK I TRIED TO FORGET HER?!” Soul shouted to both of them. “YOU THINK IT’S JUST A SWITCH I CAN FLIP ON AND OFF?!”

A heavy silence wrapped the room and startled faces from the ninja god and the two Lord Death’s guns showed. Soul was right. Maka had been a part of his life for years. He just couldn’t forget about her. Not just yet. Oh, he tried, but he just kept failing at it.

“Soul, I…” Liz never finished her sentence and her face fell. She knew she couldn’t say anything to that. Neither couldn’t Black*Star, no matter how much of a godly being he had become.

“Listen, Soul,” the young Death Lord said with a voice that was calm, compassionate, yet dominating as well. “You can stay here for as long as you want, may it be 5 or even 10 years, I couldn’t care less. But you’re right… we don’t know how it feels and it’s not something that will come to pass in a few days. Let your pain out as much as you want. We’ll be there for you.”

Soul nodded lightly. His dark red eyes turned to the Death god and he tried to smile a little to him. He nodded in return with a smile of brotherly support. A sound from Soul’s cellphone erupted. He sighed as he knew it was Maka calling him again. He just let it rang on the living room table. But Kid’s eyes saw the screen and the name was not Maka’s, but Tsubaki’s.

“Soul, that’s… Tsubaki calling.” Kid said confused.

“What?” Soul grabbed the phone with a frowning eye. “Maybe she wants to talk to you, Black*Star.”

“I have a phone, too.” Black*Star seemed confused as well. “She should have called on mine then.”

“She probably wants to check up on you. Like we all do.” Liz added simply.

Soul touched the screen and answered. “Hi Tsuba—” He stopped. His face changed. “Wait, slow down Tsubaki!... What…?” True urgency flashed on the scythe’s face. It was the first time in days he showed so much vitality. “O-okay... I’m on my way!” He shut the phone down and quickly grabbed his jacket.

“What’s wrong?” Kid asked. Everyone else was in dire need of an answer to the sudden situation.

“It’s…” Soul was preparing to release these hard words. “It’s Maka… She fainted and she’s at the hospital! I…” He knew he wanted to be by her side.

Kid walked closer to him. “Follow me, we’ll take a mirror to teleport ourselves there. It will be easier.”

“I’m coming, too.” Patty added following Kid. She turned to her older sister and the blue-haired ninja. But their interests for Maka pummeled down since her betrayal. “Hey, what about—”

“It’s okay, Patty.” Kid said. He knew the answer already from them. Maka’s betrayal was too much for them. For Soul, she was still a part of his life, even if he broke up with her. But Soul was a like a brother for these two. And Maka killed his heart with her actions. That, they couldn’t even bear seeing her without being reminded of her sin.

***

Soul, Kid and Patty arrived. Soul’s face was white with worry. It was as if all the hate and disappointment he felt towards Maka was gone, even the image of her cheating with Hiro. All he wanted was to be by her side again.

They entered the room, a white one with the usual medical instruments next to the bed of a patient. Maka laid on it, all feeble and weak with Blair and Tsubaki at her side. Spirit and Marie were also present at the young Albarn girl’s side. Maka’s eyes were hooded, but life sprung out from them seeing Soul. She struggled on the bed to stand on the bed rest, but her lover came through the people around her and held her head and waist.

“Soul…!” Tears of happiness and sadness flew free from her eyes. Her hands squeezed his as if to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. The warmth of his hands answered that question for her.

“Shhhh…” He said. “It’s okay. I’m here. We’ll get through this! I promise!” The couple was reunited as it seemed, holding each other for dear life. Tsubaki and Patty couldn’t help smiling at the reunion.

“Crowded in here.” Stein entered the room. He wore his usual attire. But he didn’t smoke anymore considering he was Marie’s son’s father. Their child was now four years old with her father’s silver hair and her mother’s blue eyes and weapon genealogy.  Jack’O, their son, was always aspiring to be an excellent weapon and a master meister like his parents.

“Doctor Stein!” Soul was anxious in his voice. “What does Maka have?”

“Oh, I dreaded that day…” Spirit said while Stein was smiling.

“Oh, it’s great news actually, Soul.” Stein replied. But Soul was starting to shape the words he was about to say as his hands started slowly to loosen up while Maka tried to keep him at her side. But again, he was about to be heartbroken. “Congratulations you two; you’re having a baby.”

“So wonderful!” Miss Marie said in delight clapping her hands.

“Oh, man…” Spirit said eyeing evilly Soul. Yet his stare calmed down when he saw Soul not showing joy to the news. In fact, he showed nothing. Total emotionlessness. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy about…?”

Spirit turned to everyone, so did Stein and Marie. The three teachers were confused at the cold atmosphere installing itself in the room. Of course they were confused; they didn’t know of Maka’s betrayal. Not yet. Soul pulled himself slowly from Maka. “Soul…?” She whispered as she tried to hold him, but in vain she failed and once more, tears were the only thing she shed in her own defense.

The door opened once again and a blond man about the age of Soul entered. He was covered with a few bandages and his face seemed swollen like he took one hell of a beating. “Hi, Maka. I just—” Hiro stopped dead in his track when his eyes looked at an emotionless version of Soul. He remembered how he almost lost his life to him and how he ruined Soul and Maka’s relationship. Now he couldn’t move at all.

Soul walked passed him, but not before landing a strong right in his stomach, making him buckle on the ground.

“Congratulations, you bastard…” Soul angered revived itself in his throat. “You’re going to be her child’s father.”

As Soul ran out of the room, Maka cried rivers while her girlfriends tried to console her. But the three teachers were left in awe, Spirit in particular. Now they knew; the child inside Maka was Hiro’s.

“Oh, dear…” Stein said seeing Maka drowning in her tears. “This isn’t good…”
