(Maka POV)

"Line up!" Jeremy commanded us. I stood in between Tsubaki, who got the job of maid, and Marie who was head waitress. Along the line I recognized some of the people that I met. There was Black*Star, a Gardener, Nigus, head nurse, and Mifune, who got the instrument tuner.

"Now pay attention" Jeremy started. "This is a big deal, as some of you know, you have high servant standings if you are picked for a personal servant of the masters." Kim, Jackie, and Blair all smiled at each other in triumph. I got nervous.

"What if he doesn't pick me? What if it's all in my head?" I held my head up high "your fine, just relax"

"Now remember! The master will pick you for no good reason at all! So don't get down kitties!" Blair cheered. I giggled "she's so go-lucky. No wonder the second master picked her."

"Keep your heads up!" Kim and Jackie said in unison.

"Now follow us." Jeremy headed out followed by Blair, Kim and Jackie, then the line.

Doors opened like my first day here, but only Head master and Soul. He looked so cool in his shirt and kakis. I felt heat rise to my cheeks, I forced it down.

"Don't get your hopes up!" I mentally shouted.

We turned and faced the two masters. Jeremy and the others went behind them.

"Go on son, I don't have all day..." Head master ordered.

"Geez, what happened to this being a special occasion?"

Soul scanned trough the line with a bored expression. Then, those crimson orbs landed on me. The flush came back. His face maintained a bored expression while his eyes brimmed with happiness and excitement.

"I would like her." He pointed his hand directly at me.

(Souls POV)

I pointed at her. She blushed and stared at me with shock. The line took a step back, disappointment and envy showed on their faces. Now, Maka looked behind her flustered. I chucked inwardly.

"She's so cute."

My father just shrugged his shoulders, not caring about my decision what so ever.

"Step forward." He gestured. She kept her head forward and took a couple steps towards us. A smile crept on my face as she got closer.

"What's your name?" He asked. She looked him in the eye.

"Maka." She replied without hesitation.

I grinned a sharp grin, not bothering to hide it. That seemed to relax her.

"You are now exempt from your duties in order to serve Soul's every whim." He formally explained. She nodded and smiled softy. Then he faced Jeremy. "Rotate the jobs around so she is replaced, get a new one if you have to." Jeremy bowed his head. Then they turned and walked up the stairs towards his office.

Blair lead the servants way as Kim and Jackie followed. She turned to face me and gave me a questioning look.

"I'll show you to my room." I said coolly. She smiled and nodded. I lead her up the stairs we turned right and I opened the door. She gasped, I chuckled.

"Cool huh?" She nodded. I flopped on my bed belly up. She giggled, it was so cute.

"What's so funny?" I asked teasingly. She just waved her hand as if it was nothing.

"Why aren't you talking?" I bluntly asked. I didn't want it to be awkward, her confident look didn't strike me as the quiet type. I expected some sort of elaborate thanks or something. She looked at me funny.

"It's a rule. 'You must not speak unless spoken too' Mister Jeremy stressed that it's a very important rule, and that we will be struck if not followed." She explained. She looked a little hurt. I leaped up and walked over to her. My heart pounded as I got close to her.

"You don't have to follow those rules with me." She looked up at me in surprise. I didn't bother hiding the love in my eyes anymore. "I would never let anyone hurt you."

Her emerald eyes glowed with the same amount of love. We unconsciously moved closer, our eyes starting to shut. My lips dangled over her heavenly ones. Her warm breath tickling my face.

"Thank you soul." She breathed. Our lips meet, they danced. Her hands cupped either side of my face, warming my blushing face. I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her close, making sure there was no room in between. Sparks flew, our hearts beat in harmony. It was pure ecstasy. We parted and stared into each other's eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you too"
