(Souls POV)

That annoying sword 'The Almighty Excalibur' is still roaming around with that Hiro kid.

I growled in my head, "He thinks he can just waltz in here with a fancy weapon and steal my cool like that? This is so not cool!" I glared my crimson eyes down at the little alien. The cane-waving freak was in the middle of his incredibly long, boring life story. I need to calm down...being worked up over this was not cool either. I glanced over at my beautiful miester. She had her tree-green eyes focused on a large chapter book. Whenever I was bored (or enraptured in her pretty face), I would watch her her expression change as the story went on. If it was a horror, she would grip the book tightly and swollow deeply if the suspence was rising. Her eyes would spark with intrest if it was non-fiction, she would has a dreamy smile if it was fantasy. This time, shes reading a romance. Her porciline cheeks were colored with a light pink as she read across the line. I chuckled inwardly at her cuteness. Then I looked around and relised people where sneaking out during the freaks speech. I nudged Maka next to me, witch was returned with a annoyed look. My eyes flickered to the door then back to her. She looked back and forth then shut her book and nodded her head I smirked at her.

"Looks like Im rubing off on Miss. goody-two-shoes." I thought.

We snuck out and walked back home, its last period after all, and there was no way I was about to miss Maka's cooking.

(Hiro POV)

I watched the angel leave with that evil jerk. Why Maka Albarn, a pure bloosom, parterned up with that demonic-eyed freak like that I'll never know. I sighed and turned my attention back to my partner. Although my thoughts kept following the pretty miester.

"However, since I got Excalibur, I've shot up the popularity chart. Far past him. So why hadn't she notcied me? Isn't that what shes after?" an idea hit me like a title wave. "Since I am Hiro the Brave, I can have and do anything I want. Normally, I would be stopped by Eater whenever I try to talk or give a letter to my love...but now, he cant touch me!" an evil smile worked its way on my face. "This is perfect."

(Maka POV)

Soul and I entered the school doors to the DWMA. We stopped and stared at what we where greeted with; students were lined up on either side of the hall way.

"Probably for the Holy Sword and his technician...what's his name again? Hiro?" I thought with a shrug. We made our way into the line just in time to see the partnership march past.

"He talks a lot about being 'transformed'." I informed Soul.

"Yeah, except now he's a jack a**" Soul replied. Everyone continued going about their day, so me and soul started to head to class.

"*ahem* Miss Maka, may I speak to you in private?" Came a voice from behind me. Soul and I turned to see Hiro. I started to reply,

"Of c--"

"-sorry, but we have to get to class. I suggest you get to yours to." Soul growled from behind me. Hiro's eyes narrowed at Soul.

"Actually, the teachers don't care if I'm late, and I'm sure I could pull an excuse for Maka here. But," he smirked at Soul, "three's a crowd." Soul stepped in front of me, blocking my view. His hands were out of his pockets and he stood to his full height. This can't be good.

"Well then, I guess I'll be cutting class." I couldnt see their faces, but their wavelengths wher starting to go haywire. Hiro's had a sort of, lust to his soul, while Soul had massive anger and posseivness.

"Oh come now Soul, it's just a little chat." by now, everyone was in their classes and the hallway was silent. Soul and Hiro were having some sort of stare down...I had to stop before fist start to fly. I stepped next to Soul, they both snapped their gazes to me in suprise.

"Well, that was...intresting. However, Soul is right, I really can't be late to class." I reached behind Soul and tugged his leather jacket backward. "I really appritate the offer, but I rather be one time without an excuse." I finished with the best fake smile I could muster. Hiro closed his eyes and nodded (and was he blushing?).

"Of course, I'm sorry, I forgot your the best in the class! We must try to keep it that way after all." he smiled at me. I felt my spine crawl, something about him isnt right. He turned and walked away. But not before turning, " I'll talk to you soon Maka."

Soul stiffened beside me before turning, grabbing my wrist, and storming towards class.

(Soul POV)

"I'LL KILL HIM! I RIP HIS SCRAWNY BODY TO SHREADS! HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO STUFF THAT GUY IN A LOCKER FOR HIM TO GET THE MESSAGE!" I was raging in my head, not even paying attention to the EAT class. I hadn't talked to Maka since that epidemic. She was probably giving me space.

"Good...because time did nothing to ebb my hatred toward that scrawny-good for nothing- son of a b****" my brain spat. So many things were fueling my anger.

The fact that Hiro has a better weapon

He wants Maka

I have to stay with her while avoiding her

And worst if all: if this doesn't stop, I could lose Maka.
