Chapter 9
Faith POV
---3 YEARS LATER---
It's been three years since me and shadow have been partnered up. Me and shadow have gone countless missions together and we've already collected a total of 49 Kishin souls plus 1 witch soul. Shadow has changed since we've partnered up. He started studying miester techniques(and by studying, I mean sleeping on the textbooks), he's become a bit of a book worm(soul blames Maka...as a result he got a Maka chop), he taught himself how to cook(if it wasn't for him, I'd forget to eat),and he has grown to love music...but then there are some things that never change. He still sleeps 24/7, he still uses his magic,he still has a thing for really soft things,he is still very possessive,and the one thing that I wished would've changed....him sleeping in my bed. Speaking of that,
"Shadow Goliath Hunter..." I gritted through my teeth as shadow laid on top of me,wrapping his arms around me with his eyes closed.
"Wah?" He muffled a reply with his face buried into one of my pillows.
"Do you remember what today I--" I was cut off by black⭐️star kicking down our apartment door. Every one else following behind him,holding gifts and cake and such.
"BLACKSTAR THATS THE FOURTH DOOR THIS MONTH!!" Tsubaki screeched.
"Where are you guys--!!!!" Soul and Maka walked into my room to see shadow and i's position. My face beat red and shadow un phased.
"GOLIATH!!!" Soul furiously yelled turning his arm into a death scythe(a/n soul is now a death scythe but lord shinagami still uses spirit)...
"Uh-oh" Shadow jumped up off of me and booked it...Maka pulled out a book
"MAKA CHOP" She slammed the book on each of their heads...
"Soul your reacting the same way spirit did when we told him we are dating!" Maka scolded soul. Shadow tried crawling away...
"And you!...man up!!" I stood up off the bed and looked at the sulking shadow in the corner only to be joined by Crona.
"You'd think they would be related.." Patty giggled.
"Patty they are related" Liz sweat dropped.
"Oh? Wow sis your so smart!" Patty broke out into a fit of laughter.
GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH THUMP..We ran out of my room to see Kidd passed out symmetrically with blood every where...
"BAHAHAHAHAAHAHA I THE GREAT BLACK⭐️STAR HAVE WON AGAINST A GOD USING THE POWER OF ASYMMETRICAL CAKE!!!" Black⭐️star yelled pointing at the cake.
"Black⭐️Star!!!" Tsubaki threw a shurikin at his forehead,knocking him out. I looked at all the gifts and gasped...
"You guys didn't have too...this is too much" I said picking a picture with me and shadow from three years ago on the exact day of June 20th. I had my contacts out with a huge grin,Shadow was flustered while staring at our hands.
"This is nothing!! Just wait until you see what---!!!! OW" Black⭐️Star's shadow slapped him... I look behind me to see a furious shadow.
"Shut it blackstar.." Shadow sent a blood red glare at black⭐️star.
"Well then, moving on!! You two have gifts to open!!" Maka handed shadow and I identical boxes. We both opened them and inside were DeathPad's(a/niPads).
"Woah!!" Shadow immediately brightened up.
"We already charged them and I pre downloaded some apps you'd like" Maka smiled.
"Here." Soul handed us gifts... Shadow opened his and got a pair of blue tooth head phones..
"That's the last thing he needs..." I mumbled recalling the one time I couldn't get shadow to take his earbuds out. I opened my gift to see a picture of me and soul when we were little...he was teaching me how to play the harp.There was another picture with Wes winking and giving the camera a thumbs up. I jumped up and gave soul a big hug.
"Arigato Ani" I said into the hug. I heard growling behind me...
"Dude I'm her brother!!" We broke the hug and looked at shadow...
"Possessive much"Liz said handing me and shadow one gift for the both of us. Shadow was sitting on the couch and when I went to sit next to him,he used a shadow to pull me into his lap.
"Whatever." I quickly brushed it off as me and shadow started opening the gift. Inside was a huge black fuzzy blanket with two matching pillows just as soft. A green light flashed and the next thing I knew, I was swaddled in the huge blanket with shadow's arms around me.
"My two favorite things in one..."Shadow dozed off with his face buried in my neck. I sighed in defeat.
"Here you go." Tsubaki smiled kindly and handed me two gifts. I squirmed to get my hands free. A few seconds later shadows moved me to the opposite side of the couch and shadow sprinted to the bathroom.
"Was it some thing I did?" I questioned. Ragnorock popped out of Crona's back.
"GEHE Looks like some one is a little turned on GU-PI" Ragnorock laughed.
"RAGNOROCK!!!" Shadow yelled and Crona scolded at the same time. Shadow sounded like a duck...
"Sounds like some one has a---" Soul and Blackstar were cut off by shadow walking into the room. His face was flustered and he had toilet paper shoved up his nose.
"I don't know how much more I can take..." Shadow mumbled as he sat down on the opposite side of the couch.
"What was that?" I asked.
"NOTHING!!!" Shadow eagerly opened up his gift avoiding the topic. We both got gift cards.
"Here you go." Crona handed me a bouquet of flowers and a flower crown. The flower crown consisted of white and red roses. Crona gently placed the flower crown on my head making my cheeks dusted with pink. Ragnorock handed me a black rose with a faint blush.
"Thank you Crona and you to Ragnorock" I gave Crona a hug and gave Ragnorock a pat on the head. I heard a low growling from shadow. Crona took notice and walked over to shadow. He pulled out a black and white rose flower crown and placed it on his head. Shadow looked dumb founded. I couldn't help but laugh.
"What?" He looked confused at me and the others who were laughing. Liz and Patty secretly taking pictures.
"It's just that you look adorable" I turned red and kept laughing hoping he wouldn't notice.
"Ya ya wait....I look what now?" He scooted over next to me and wiggled his eyebrows at me.
"You flirt" I pushed him away. He just sat and stared at me weirdly.
"Shadow?" His face turned bright red and he moved to the end of the couch again.
"I um a I need to go some where I'll be right back." He turned into a shadow and left.
"Well we have to go now, Kidd ruined the cake and is still unconscious so we should get him home."Liz stated as she slung Kidd over her shoulder.
"Bye!" Patty skipped behind her sister out the door or the remains.
"Me and black⭐️star have a mission later so we should be on our way. And here's some money for another door gomen" Tsubaki handed me an envelop and bid farewell with blackstar.
"Me and soul should check in with lord shinagami...See ya later! And congratulations!!" Maka waved good bye.
"If that Kishin ever gives you trouble just give us a call." Soul buried his hands deep into his pockets and walked out behind Maka. Once everyone was gone, I put the door back up on its hinges,straightened up our living room,put the flowers Crona and Ragnorock got me in water,and got dressed for the day. After putting on my usual outfit and doing my make up, I went to the fridge and pull out a yogurt. I sat down on the couch, eating my yogurt, when I felt a small electrocution in my wrist. I looked down at the silver bracelet on my wrist from stein, shadow must be trying to go more some where. I thought to myself.
"..." I saw shadow appear in front of me with an irritated look. He grabbed my DeathPad and picked me up bridal style without saying a word. Everything went black for a moment but then we were in a small cabin room. Right as I was going to ask him what was going on...
"Stay here,don't move,and don't go looking for me. Here are my new head phones if you want to use them. Now stay put." Shadow said blandly and disappeared leaving me utterly confused. I sighed and play some music on Spotify and read on wattpad.
Shadow POV
----5 HOURS LATER-----
HeHEHEHE(moon)
I finished setting up everything for the evening and looked at the clock it read 8pm. Time o go pick up Faith I thought to my self. I quickly turned into a shadow but soon regretted it. I need to release my soul protect if I'm gonna keep using my shadows, but if I do that...I can't risk it. I stepped out of my shadow to looked down to see Faith sleeping peacefully on me bed. Yup, this little cottage in the woods is where I went into hiding from the DWMA all those years... I watched as her chest would raise up and down with each breathe, she still had my head phones on her. I kneeled down beside the bed and rested my head next to her. If it wasn't already obvious already I really like Faith. I tried resonating my soul with hers and was successful, bringing relief to my soul. I sighed deeply while playing with her very long hair. I slowly took off the head phones and softly nudged her.
"Faith wake up I have planes for tonight..." I whispered in her ear,earning a groan. I rolled my eyes.
"Blackstar is cutting the strings on your harp again." Her eyes shot open and sat up....making us hit our heads...
"Ow...oh that's a sick joke" Faith rubbed her head. While I did the same.
"Come on I have an outfit for you to wear. Call me in when your done." I said pulling out the box with a white dress and grey swim suit. I left the room and got changed into my solid black swim trunks and a white t-shirt. I washed off all the make up on my shoulder and in my hair, the insanity eye on my shoulder has gotten much worse and I'm starting to get several other white stripes in my hair... I look at my appearance noting I look extremely like my dad. I sighed, she was gonna find out sooner or later that my insanity is getting to me.
"I'm ready!" I heard Faith yell from he other room. I walked in and almost passed out.
"How do I look?" She asked spinning around. She wore the white lace dress and underneath was the gray strapless bikini...dammit why did I have Blair pick out the outfit.
"You look amazing are you ready--" I was about to finish my sentence when I heard her gasp..
"Shadow! What happened?! Your hair! Your Shoulder!!" She grabbed my shoulder and examined it. I winced in pain.
"How long have you been like this?" She said earnestly, I dropped my gaze to the floor.
"When I was little when my mom and dad were still alive my hair was like this. But when my dad died all but one stripe went away. And my shoulder? A week or two now." I admitted.
"Hm.. We'll tell lord shinagami after tonight's plans." She gave me a contagious smile.
"Sounds good..hold on" I said picking her up and turning into a shadow.
------SOME WHERE DEEP IN A FOREST---
"Okay, open your eyes." I said holding her from behind, looking up at a huge waterfall.
"No way.." Her eyes filled with wonder.
"I saw it in one of the books you kept rambling about and saw that it was near by soooo yeah... Oh and I learned that it doubles as a hot spring." I held her hand and guided her the waterside.
"Wow you can see the sky in the water." She stared at the crystal clear water.
"But where's the hot spring?" She looked around confused. I chuckled, throwing off my shirt and tossing my shoes off to the side.
"I'm getting to that. Follow me if you can." I challenged diving into the cool water. I resurfaced to see Faith taking off her dress and diving into the water. I spun around in a circle looking for where she resurfaced, only to have the life jump scared out of me.
"GAH FAITH!!!" The semi albino cackled as she held her arms around my waist.
"You Should Have seen your face woah that was a good laugh." She said catching her breath,she grabbed my hand.
"Come one! I believe you have some thing to show me." She stated.
"Okay take a deep breath and don't let go of my hand." We both inhaled deeply and and dove under. I opened my eyes under water and looked for the small opening in the waterfall to the cave. Once I found it, I guided Faith and myself through the tight squeeze of a tunnel. When we were about half way through, I felt Faith tug on my arm. Her eyes were open and her face was turning red and was struggling. I blushed knowing she needed air. I worked up the nerve to ki--I mean give her air and swam as fast as I could to the cave. Once we got there we both gasped for air with both of our faces bright red. I pulled myself up,offered Faith a hand and pulled her up on land. She laid on the smooth cave floor and I collapsed down next to her. I caught my breath and stood up to make sure the dinner I set up was still hot. I nodded in satisfaction and walked back over to Faith. She was silently standing up and approached me.
"Faith--mfph!!!" She went up on her tip toes and KISSED ME!! I pushed her away.
"Nope.not happening. I've finally gone insane!" I laughed insanely. Faith only glared and slapped me, making me stop laughing.
"Ow" I mumbled rubbing my cheek.
"You could've just told me you didn't like me." She said disappointed, my face lite up in shock.
"Woah woah woah, wait just a minute! This is not how I planed tonight to go,but I really do like you its just that..." I can't hurt her, I just can't.
" it's just what shadow" She huffed crossing her arms. I'm starting to lose it.
"ITS JUST THAT IM GOING INSANE AND I DON'T WANT YOU GETTING HURT" I yelled running my fingers through my hair, feeling scythes erupt from my skin.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She walked towards me, I starting backing away.
"I couldn't.." I said in fear...why I don't know.
"Couldn't or wouldn't" She kept walking towards me. I kept walking backwards.
"I physically couldn't! Every time I tried to open my mouth nothing would come out!" I panicked. I walked right into a hot spring and fell back into it.
"Your soul is in distress, you need to calm down!" Faith calmly stepped into the pool with me.
"How do you know? I've been using soul protect the whole--time?" She pulled me into her embrace and I felt something change in my soul.
"There." She smiled, sending her healing wavelength into me.
"Better?" She asked.
"Better." I replied.
"Your stripes went away and the insanity eye has calmed down." She pulled with my hair.
"Are you gonna tell lord death?" I said with pleading eyes.
"No, but if it happens again you must tell me. And stop using soul protect it stresses your magic." She said getting out of the water.
"Come on, let's go eat." She said offering me a hand that I gladly excepted.
"Yeah...sorry about the mess I made out of tonight." I said as we walked over to the table.
"Don't worry about it and to be honest I think our resonance will be much stronger now." She said kissing my cheek. I sighed pulling her into a hug,nuzzling dace into her neck.
----maybe things turned out the way they were supposed to be-------
IN SOUL AND MAKAS APARTMENT
"Ha!! Called it Soul pay up!" Maka cheered as soul handed her a $50 bucks.
"Oh I'll make you pay." Soul grabbed Maka's head and started making out with her.
