Description
The worst thing about being paralyzed had to be that you couldn't move!
   Maka Albarn lay in her bed in the DWMA Infirmary, still suffering from the effects of Arachne's spell, still unable to move, and hating it! Her weapon partner, the Soul Eater, had been staying with her for the past few days, and he hadn't left her side at all. Now, however, he was off getting something to eat with Black*Star and the Dark Arm weapon, Tsubaki, so Maka was all by herself and feeling extremely bored.
   "This sucks. I can't even read like this!" Maka complained to herself. All she could do was move her head, so she was completely unable to do anything except lay there and stare out the window all day, and for someone as active as Maka, that was pure torture!
   With a bored sigh, she turned her head and gazed out the window, maybe something would cool would happen out there today. The window was open, and allowing a nice, cool breeze to blow into the room, it felt fantastic! And the outdoor air smelled so fresh, and so crisp, it made Maka ache for the freedom of the outside world. Why wouldn't this stupid spell wear off already?!
   From her meager field of sight through the window, Maka could see the sun hanging low in the sky and fighting off sleep, trying to keep it's eyes open while drool hung out of it's mouth. That was kind of funny, the sun was such a weird thing, always doing something strange, whether it was laughing maniacally, or just sitting there contentedly, it was still quite funny. It was getting late, judging by the reddish shade that the sky was turning, where was Soul? He had been gone for almost two whole hours now, and Maka was beginning to get hungry. He had promised that he would bring her back something...so where was that jerk?!
   Maka turned her gaze over to the door of the infirmary, she hoped to see it fly open, followed by Soul with her food. After a few seconds of intensive staring, however, she came to the sad realization that it wasn't gonna happen...stupid Black*Star had probably drug Soul into another one of his famous fights...idiots. When Maka could move again, she was gonna ring their scrawny little-
   "Hey, Maka!" a voice suddenly called from the window, scaring the skin off of Maka, and drawing her out of her murderous thoughts. She quickly turned her head so that she was looking up at the window again, and found herself staring up at a little black cat with a curly tail, big yellow eyes, and a witch hat that had a square swirl on the top...Blair.
   "Oh. Hey, Blair," Maka replied with a small smile as her heart-rate returned to normal from the shock she had just received. Blair was a cat with a ridiculous amount of magic power, so much power that Maka and Soul had mistook her for a witch whenever they had first met her and Soul had eaten her soul...that had ended badly. The memory was still vivid in Maka's mind, but that had been a long time ago, she was sort of over it by now...but not really.
   "Still sick?" Blair asked curiously with a catty smile. She hopped down from the window and landed on the bed beside Maka, she then padded up to Maka's head and lied down on her pillow next to her, gazing curiously into Maka's her green eyes with her own big, curious lamp-like eyes.
   "Yeah, it sucks!" Maka complained miserably. Blair nodded her understanding, but Maka could tell that she really didn't care...that was a selfish cat for ya. Blair let out a sudden yawn, and arched her back in that way that cats do, stretching her forelegs out in front of her and flexing her tail. She then turned around in a quick circle and started clawing at Maka's pillow, making it into a comfortable bed for herself.
   "At least the pillow's comfortable!" Blair said with a happy smile. Maka rolled her eyes at the cat, that was all she ever thought about, sleeping, eating, and being a...hostess for Maka's dad...gross.
   "When you have to lay on it for three days straight...it gets kinda stiff," Maka informed Blair, pushing the gross thoughts about the cat's activities out of her mind. Blair looked up from her padding and cocked her head to the side in a curious way.
   "Meow? Really? Seems pretty nice to me!" Blair disagreed. She then suddenly turned her curious gaze down to the bottom of the bed. "I bet down there's really warm though...nice, and soft, too..."
   All of a sudden Blair darted off of the pillow and slipped beneath Maka's blankets, disappearing from sight, and becoming a little lump underneath them. Maka watched as the lump under the blankets slowly made it's way down towards the foot of the bed, her eyes grew wider, and wider as it drew closer, and closer to the two small lumps that were sticking up slightly from the blankets...this wasn't good. Suddenly felt something warm, and furry brush up against her bare feet, rubbing up against her soles, and purring. It took every ounce of Maka's iron willpower not to let out a squeal and begin giggling like a little school girl. It tickled so bad!
"Maka, your feet are so cute! They're soft too, and warm! Do you moisturize?!" Blair giggled from the base of the bed. "I'm gonna take a little cat nap down here, ok?"
   Blair started wiggling around a little, getting herself comfortable, all the while brushing her soft fur up against Maka's feet. The ticklish Scythe Meister tried her very best to contain herself, but it was just too much for her, and before she knew it, a ticklish squeak emerged from her lips. It was a closely guarded secret of Maka's, and nobody knew about it except for herself, her Mama and unfortunately her Papa, it was something that she was very ashamed of and would never admit to directly. Now, however, she realized that the truth would be revealed very soon if Blair kept this up. Maka bit her lip and wished she could ball up her fists or curl up her toes or do anything to distract herself from the feeling of Blair's fur on her feet. After what seemed like an eternity, she could hold it in no longer and suddenly found herself giggling uncontrollably.
   "Hehehehe! B-Blair! Quit ihihihit! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! That tihihihihihihihihihihickles!" Maka giggled. Blair suddenly stopped rubbing against her feet and Maka suddenly felt her move away from her feet. The little lump underneath the blankets appeared once more and began making it's way up to the top of the bed. Within seconds, Blair's little black head popped out from under the blankets again and she her curious yellow eyes glimmered deviously...that wasn't good.
   "Maka...you're ticklish?" she asked with amazement. Maka felt her cheeks grow hot with embarrassment...the secret was out. There was no way that she could let Blair know that she was indeed ticklish, the little cat had the biggest mouth in all of Death City! She was always blabbing about somebody's secrets that she'd learned about while spying on them. If she found out that Maka was ticklish, then her status as an awesomely tough Meister of the most legendary weapon in the world would be completely crushed... Plus, if Soul, or Black*Star ever found out about Maka's ticklishness, then those two morons would probably tickle her half to death! That could not happen!
   "No! I...uh...was just remembering a funny joke!" Maka insisted, giving Blair a completely convincing smile. Blair stared at her for a long moment, her yellow eyes glimmering with curiosity, and deviousness. Maka could tell that the evil little cat didn't believe her for a second...she was dead!
   "Really? Well, if you're not ticklish...then I'll just go back and take my nap now."
   Before Maka could react, Blair quickly disappeared underneath the blankets again. Maka could only watch as the little lump under the blanket made it's way back down to her feet once more. She gulped fearfully, knowing that this was the end of her. There was nothing she could do, she couldn't move, she was at Blair's mercy...and soon she would be at the mercy of everyone who wished to tickle the terrifying bookworm, Maka Albarn.
   The lump reached Maka's feet once more and Maka closed her eyes tightly and bit her bottom lip, preparing for the absolute torture that she was about to endure. She heard Blair giggle evilly and then suddenly felt two velvety soft, warm paws on her feet, one on each.
   "Oooooo! So soft, Maka, do you moisturize?! I wonder what happens when I do...this!" Maka suddenly felt Blair's soft paws begin to rub up and down the arches of her feet. An involuntary grin suddenly spread across Maka's face, she felt the giggles welling up in her chest, but she couldn't let them out, for if she did, then Blair would truly know that she was ticklish...she couldn't let that happen.
   She endured Blair's tickling for a long while and managed to keep her laughter down, but just as she was starting to get used to the feeling of Blair's paws rubbing around on her feet, the evil cat suddenly tried something knew. Something warm and furry suddenly slipped it's way between her pinky, second, and big toes and began wiggling around, brushing the soft fur against the sensitive skin in between Maka's toes. The young Meister's eyes grew wide with shock and she could hold in her laughter no longer. It burst from her lips in a wave of pure ticklish laughter.
   "Haaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! B-Blair! Please stohohohohohohohohohohohohohohop! Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehe! That thihihihihihihihihihihihihickles so bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahad!" Maka pleaded through her giggles.
   "Awwww! But this is fun Maka! You can tickle me later! I love having my belly tickled!" Blair replied, Maka knew she would get nowhere with Blair, the cat had no sense of reason, she was all about fun and being selfish, that was a cat for ya. Maka was just starting to get used to Blair's tail and paws and she found it easier to hold in her laughter, but just as she thought that she would be able to resist laughing and thus prove herself not ticklish, Blair suddenly released her claws, she then slowly drug them up the soft sole of Maka's right foot, Maka's eyes grew wide and she could hold her laughter no longer, she let out a ticklish squeal and went into immediate hysterics.
   "AAAAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE STUPID CAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT!" Maka laughed and shook her head vigorously, she was going to kill Blair when she could move again.
   "Wow! You really are ticklish! Almost as much as me!" Blair giggled from the bottom of the bed, Maka thought that the tickling couldn't get any worse, but she was sorely mistaken, Blair suddenly placed her back paws on Maka's left foot, she released the claws on her back paws as well and started to slowly scrape them up and down her foot, this made Maka laugh even louder.
   "NAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! I SWEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAR I'LL GEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHET YOU FOR THIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIS! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Make squealed and laughed while Blair continued to scratch around on her sensitive soles, Maka hadn't been tickled since her dad, Spirit, had tickled her when she was a little girl, so her feet were ultra sensitive to tickling now and Blair was taking advantage of that.
   "Maka, are you not having fun?" Blair asked curiously.
   "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! NOW STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! YOU STUPID CAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT! THIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIS IS NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOT FUN! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHE!" Maka laughed in reply, suddenly the tickling to her feet stopped and she was able to suck in a deep breath. "*Pant* Blair *Pant* your so dead *Pant*"
   The lump under the blanket moved back up towards Maka and Blair's little black cat head appeared from under the blanket again, she smiled at Maka happily.
   "You need to lighten up a bit Maka, your always so serious! I bet you do like being tickled!" Maka blushed, and looked away, Blair was wrong, she hated being tickled....right?
   "I hate being tickled, Blair, it's a weakness, I can't afford to be weak and being ticklish is one of my major weaknesses, so I hate it" Maka replied, Blair watched her curiously, her big yellow eyes full of curiosity.
   "Maka, having weaknesses makes you who you are, you can't be human and not have weaknesses, without weakness we have no reason to grow, being ticklish is fun!" Blair said happily, Maka stared at Blair in surprise, the cat was spouting wisdom now? Where had that come from? Usually all Blair thought about was fish and being really annoying whenever possible.
   "I don't like being tickled" Maka insisted angrily, Blair rolled her cat eyes and quickly disappeared underneath the blankets again, Maka watched fearfully as the little lump that was Blair made it's way down to her feet again. "Blair don't!"
   Blair ignored Maka though, she crawled over to Maka's feet and stopped right in front of them, Maka closed her eyes tight and expected to feel Blair's claws on her delicate feet again, but she didn't, instead, she heard purring and felt Blair rubbing up against her feet, it tickled, but it also felt good, before she knew it, Maka found herself giggling.
   "Hehehehehehehehe! Blair thahahahahahahahat tickles! Cut it out!" she giggled, but for some reason, she didn't despise the feeling, Blair's warm fur felt nice and the tickling made her stomach feel all tingly....and she kind of liked the feeling.
   "I told you liked being tickled!" Blair teased, Maka wanted to deny it, but she wasn't a liar....she did like it.
   "Hahahahahahahahahaha! Ok! Ok! I like ihihihihihihihihihihit! Hehehehehehehehehehe!" Maka giggled, she felt weird admitting to that, but it was the truth.
   "I knew it!" Blair said happily, she suddenly stopped rubbing herself up against Maka's feet, but she didn't move away from them, she stayed at the foot of the bed and was silent for a few moments.
   "Blair? You ok?" Maka asked curiously, Blair didn't reply, instead, she began purring again and suddenly Maka felt something warm on the heel of her foot, her eyes grew wide and a ticklish grin spread across her lips, the strange warm thing moved up her foot and it tickled horribly, Maka instantly found herself laughing again.
   "AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHE! THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SO BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAD!" Maka laughed hysterically, thankfully though the warm thing stopped at her toes and Maka heard Blair's purring grow in volume.
   "Wow! They taste better than I thought!" Blair said happily, Maka was surprised to hear that....Blair was licking her feet?!
   "Blair! Don't lick my feet! That's so gross!" Maka scolded, it was very gross, why would Blair wanna lick her feet?
   "Aw, but there so tasty Maka! Just a few more licks?" Blair asked hopefully.
   "No way!"
   "Can you stop me?"
   Maka drew breath to reply, but she quickly realized that there really wasn't anything she could do to stop Blair.
   "I didn't think so!" Blair giggled happily, before Maka could reply Blair immediately placed her tongue on her right foot sole and started licking up and down, Maka was immediately sent back into a fit of laughter.
   "EEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES! AND IT'S GROHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSS!" Maka laughed hysterically, she wished that she could pull her feet away from Blair's warm tongue that was lapping at both of her soles now.
   "Yummy! I thought I'd never taste anything better than scorched fish, but I was wrong!" Blair said happily, Maka felt her move her warm tongue up to the toes on her right foot and then felt it slip between them, her eyes grew wide and she laughed even louder, never before had she been tickled like this.
   "NAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! NOT THE TOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOES! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!" Maka laughed loudly, she was sure that the entire school could hear her, but Blair didn't let up.
   "I wanna nom your toes!" Blair giggled excitedly, she stopped licking Maka's feet for a few seconds and gave her time to breathe.
   "*Pant* Blair *Pant* don't *Pant* do that again *Pant*" Maka said while catching her breath.
   "But Maka, you said you liked being tickled!" Blair replied.
   "I do *Pant* but not *Pant* licking" Maka answered.
   "Oooooh! Well how about, this?!" before Maka could reply, she suddenly felt Blair's mouth on her big and second toes of her right foot, she then began to nibble them, swirling her tongue in between them as she did so, Maka's eyes grew wide and she was instantly sent back into a fit of hysterics.
   "HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHOP! THAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SO BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAD! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOP! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!" Maka laughed louder than ever, her laughter echoed throughout the room and she was definitely sure that if anybody in the school hadn't heard her already, then they would now.
   "Nom! Nom! Nom! Taaaaaaaaasty!" Blair giggled happily while still nibbling and licking Maka's toes, Maka was certain that she was going to pass out from lack of air if this didn't end soon.
   "HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! ENOUGH! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! QUIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT!" Maka pleaded through her intense laughter, but Blair still listen.
   Suddenly, the sound of people running cut through the sound of Maka's loud laughter and immediately Blair stopped nibbling and licking Maka's toes, Maka took a deep relieved breath.
   The lump underneath the blanket moved up towards Maka again and a few seconds later Blair emerged from the blanket, she was purring still, she smiled at Maka deviously and made her way up to the pillow, she then lay down beside Maka's head and curled up into a ball, she then closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
   "*Pant* Blair, your so *Pant* dead" Maka said with irritation, Blair ignored her though and continued to purr.
   Maka looked over at the door, the sound of people running was much closer now, undoubtedly it was Soul coming back.
   Suddenly, the running stopped and Maka figured that Soul was standing outside the door, no doubt telling Black*Star and Tsubaki goodnight, the two boys had probably raced back to the infirmary, that would explain the running sounds.
   Just then, the door was kicked off it's hinges by a black and silver boot with a white star on the tip, seconds later, Black*Star came rushing into the room, he jumped on Maka's bed, he grabbed her by the front of the shirt and started shaking her.
   "MAKA! YOU OK?! WE HEARD LAUGHING AND YOU NEVER LAUGH SO WE FIGURED SOMETHIN' WAS UP! ARE YOU OK?!" Black*Star yelled while still shaking Maka.
   "Bl-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack*St-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ar! St-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-p!" Maka shouted, her voice jerking because of his shaking.
   "Hey! Knock it off, Black*Star!" Soul's voice suddenly came from the door, Black*Star stopped shaking Maka and looked over at the door, her partner was standing there with his usual cool-headed expression.
   "Soul! You heard the laughing too right?!" Black*Star demanded.
   "Yeah, but look, Blair's in here too, so it was probably her" Soul replied, pointing to the black cat who was still pretending to be asleep and purring loudly, Black*Star looked at the cat for a long moment, he then seemed to understand at last.
   "Oh, yeah I guess your right, sorry Maka!"
   Black*Star released his grip on Maka's shirt and jumped off of the bed, he then walked over to Soul and gave him a high-five like the two always did, he then headed out of the room as if nothing had happened, Maka watched him go, still a little disoriented from being shaken like a ragdoll, Soul shook his head and walked over to Maka's bed, he took a seat in the chair next her and smiled in his usual way.
   "Sorry about that, Maka" he said, Maka smiled and shook her head, she knew that Black*Star was just an idiot, but he really did care about his friends, he'd just been worried.
   "No problem" she replied, Soul nodded and then looked at Blair curiously.
   "So, what've you two been up to?" he asked, Maka looked at Blair and shook her head.
   "Just....girl stuff" Maka replied, she didn't want to tell Soul about how Blair had tickled her, she still hoped to keep her ticklishness a secret, Soul shrugged.
   "Alright" he said simply.
   Blair suddenly woke up and stretched, yawning and arching her back again, she smiled over at Soul and jumped into his lap, she then started to rub up against his stomach and purred happily, Soul smiled and stroked the cat's back.
   "We had lots of fun!" Blair told him happily.
   "That's good, what was all that laughing about earlier?"
   "Oh, just some girl fun! Right, Maka?" Blair replied and gave Maka a sly wink, Maka blushed and nodded.
   "Yeah, just some girl fun" she replied, Soul nodded and picked up Blair, he placed her on the bed and then started to walk out of the room.
   "I'm gonna go find Sid and see if he'll fix this door....again" he said, he walked out of the doorway and left the two girls alone.
   Once he was gone, Blair jumped up onto Maka's stomach and sat down, she smiled deviously at Maka.
   "Wanna have some more girl fun?" she asked.
   "After all that, you think I'm really gonna let you tickle me again?" Maka inquired, Blair nodded happily.
   "Yeah! Wasn't it fun?"
   Maka drew breath to reply with a loud 'NO!', but she stopped herself because....that would be a lie, it had been fun actually, Maka liked to be tickled, she hadn't been tickled in so long that she hadn't realized just how much she liked it, she found herself smiling.
   "Actually, yeah" she replied, Blair giggled happily and ran up to the top of the bed, she then crawled down under the blanket and went back to Maka's feet, Maka felt her place her claws on both of her feet again, she then placed her mouth on her right foot toes again and started to nibble, lick, and run her claws along her feet and toes.
   Tickling was fun! Maka liked being tickled, but she was still curious what tickling someone else was like, she would definitely have to find out later on, Blair would be the one to tickle, Maka vowed that once she was able to move again, Blair would get the tickling of a lifetime, but for now she would just enjoy being tickled......

THE END......

   "Haaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! B-Blair! Please stohohohohohohohohohohohohohohop! Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehe! That thihihihihihihihihihihihihickles so bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahad!" Maka pleaded through her giggles.
   "Awwww! But this is fun Maka! You can tickle me later! I love having my belly tickled!" Blair replied, Maka knew she would get nowhere with Blair, the cat had no sense of reason, she was all about fun and being selfish, that was a cat for ya. Maka was just starting to get used to Blair's tail and paws and she found it easier to hold in her laughter, but just as she thought that she would be able to resist laughing and thus prove herself not ticklish, Blair suddenly released her claws, she then slowly drug them up the soft sole of Maka's right foot, Maka's eyes grew wide and she could hold her laughter no longer, she let out a ticklish squeal and went into immediate hysterics.
   "AAAAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE STUPID CAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT!" Maka laughed and shook her head vigorously, she was going to kill Blair when she could move again.
   "Wow! You really are ticklish! Almost as much as me!" Blair giggled from the bottom of the bed, Maka thought that the tickling couldn't get any worse, but she was sorely mistaken, Blair suddenly placed her back paws on Maka's left foot, she released the claws on her back paws as well and started to slowly scrape them up and down her foot, this made Maka laugh even louder.
   "NAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! I SWEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAR I'LL GEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHET YOU FOR THIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIS! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Make squealed and laughed while Blair continued to scratch around on her sensitive soles, Maka hadn't been tickled since her dad, Spirit, had tickled her when she was a little girl, so her feet were ultra sensitive to tickling now and Blair was taking advantage of that.
   "Maka, are you not having fun?" Blair asked curiously.
   "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! NOW STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! YOU STUPID CAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT! THIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIS IS NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOT FUN! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHE!" Maka laughed in reply, suddenly the tickling to her feet stopped and she was able to suck in a deep breath. "*Pant* Blair *Pant* your so dead *Pant*"
   The lump under the blanket moved back up towards Maka and Blair's little black cat head appeared from under the blanket again, she smiled at Maka happily.
   "You need to lighten up a bit Maka, your always so serious! I bet you do like being tickled!" Maka blushed, and looked away, Blair was wrong, she hated being tickled....right?
   "I hate being tickled, Blair, it's a weakness, I can't afford to be weak and being ticklish is one of my major weaknesses, so I hate it" Maka replied, Blair watched her curiously, her big yellow eyes full of curiosity.
   "Maka, having weaknesses makes you who you are, you can't be human and not have weaknesses, without weakness we have no reason to grow, being ticklish is fun!" Blair said happily, Maka stared at Blair in surprise, the cat was spouting wisdom now? Where had that come from? Usually all Blair thought about was fish and being really annoying whenever possible.
   "I don't like being tickled" Maka insisted angrily, Blair rolled her cat eyes and quickly disappeared underneath the blankets again, Maka watched fearfully as the little lump that was Blair made it's way down to her feet again. "Blair don't!"
   Blair ignored Maka though, she crawled over to Maka's feet and stopped right in front of them, Maka closed her eyes tight and expected to feel Blair's claws on her delicate feet again, but she didn't, instead, she heard purring and felt Blair rubbing up against her feet, it tickled, but it also felt good, before she knew it, Maka found herself giggling.
   "Hehehehehehehehe! Blair thahahahahahahahat tickles! Cut it out!" she giggled, but for some reason, she didn't despise the feeling, Blair's warm fur felt nice and the tickling made her stomach feel all tingly....and she kind of liked the feeling.
   "I told you liked being tickled!" Blair teased, Maka wanted to deny it, but she wasn't a liar....she did like it.
   "Hahahahahahahahahaha! Ok! Ok! I like ihihihihihihihihihihit! Hehehehehehehehehehe!" Maka giggled, she felt weird admitting to that, but it was the truth.
   "I knew it!" Blair said happily, she suddenly stopped rubbing herself up against Maka's feet, but she didn't move away from them, she stayed at the foot of the bed and was silent for a few moments.
   "Blair? You ok?" Maka asked curiously, Blair didn't reply, instead, she began purring again and suddenly Maka felt something warm on the heel of her foot, her eyes grew wide and a ticklish grin spread across her lips, the strange warm thing moved up her foot and it tickled horribly, Maka instantly found herself laughing again.
   "AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHE! THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SO BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAD!" Maka laughed hysterically, thankfully though the warm thing stopped at her toes and Maka heard Blair's purring grow in volume.
   "Wow! They taste better than I thought!" Blair said happily, Maka was surprised to hear that....Blair was licking her feet?!
   "Blair! Don't lick my feet! That's so gross!" Maka scolded, it was very gross, why would Blair wanna lick her feet?
   "Aw, but there so tasty Maka! Just a few more licks?" Blair asked hopefully.
   "No way!"
   "Can you stop me?"
   Maka drew breath to reply, but she quickly realized that there really wasn't anything she could do to stop Blair.
   "I didn't think so!" Blair giggled happily, before Maka could reply Blair immediately placed her tongue on her right foot sole and started licking up and down, Maka was immediately sent back into a fit of laughter.
   "EEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES! AND IT'S GROHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSS!" Maka laughed hysterically, she wished that she could pull her feet away from Blair's warm tongue that was lapping at both of her soles now.
   "Yummy! I thought I'd never taste anything better than scorched fish, but I was wrong!" Blair said happily, Maka felt her move her warm tongue up to the toes on her right foot and then felt it slip between them, her eyes grew wide and she laughed even louder, never before had she been tickled like this.
   "NAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! NOT THE TOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOES! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!" Maka laughed loudly, she was sure that the entire school could hear her, but Blair didn't let up.
   "I wanna nom your toes!" Blair giggled excitedly, she stopped licking Maka's feet for a few seconds and gave her time to breathe.
   "*Pant* Blair *Pant* don't *Pant* do that again *Pant*" Maka said while catching her breath.
   "But Maka, you said you liked being tickled!" Blair replied.
   "I do *Pant* but not *Pant* licking" Maka answered.
   "Oooooh! Well how about, this?!" before Maka could reply, she suddenly felt Blair's mouth on her big and second toes of her right foot, she then began to nibble them, swirling her tongue in between them as she did so, Maka's eyes grew wide and she was instantly sent back into a fit of hysterics.
   "HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHOP! THAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SO BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAD! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOP! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!" Maka laughed louder than ever, her laughter echoed throughout the room and she was definitely sure that if anybody in the school hadn't heard her already, then they would now.
   "Nom! Nom! Nom! Taaaaaaaaasty!" Blair giggled happily while still nibbling and licking Maka's toes, Maka was certain that she was going to pass out from lack of air if this didn't end soon.
   "HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! ENOUGH! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! QUIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT!" Maka pleaded through her intense laughter, but Blair still listen.
   Suddenly, the sound of people running cut through the sound of Maka's loud laughter and immediately Blair stopped nibbling and licking Maka's toes, Maka took a deep relieved breath.
   The lump underneath the blanket moved up towards Maka again and a few seconds later Blair emerged from the blanket, she was purring still, she smiled at Maka deviously and made her way up to the pillow, she then lay down beside Maka's head and curled up into a ball, she then closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
   "*Pant* Blair, your so *Pant* dead" Maka said with irritation, Blair ignored her though and continued to purr.
   Maka looked over at the door, the sound of people running was much closer now, undoubtedly it was Soul coming back.
   Suddenly, the running stopped and Maka figured that Soul was standing outside the door, no doubt telling Black*Star and Tsubaki goodnight, the two boys had probably raced back to the infirmary, that would explain the running sounds.
   Just then, the door was kicked off it's hinges by a black and silver boot with a white star on the tip, seconds later, Black*Star came rushing into the room, he jumped on Maka's bed, he grabbed her by the front of the shirt and started shaking her.
   "MAKA! YOU OK?! WE HEARD LAUGHING AND YOU NEVER LAUGH SO WE FIGURED SOMETHIN' WAS UP! ARE YOU OK?!" Black*Star yelled while still shaking Maka.
   "Bl-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack*St-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ar! St-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-p!" Maka shouted, her voice jerking because of his shaking.
   "Hey! Knock it off, Black*Star!" Soul's voice suddenly came from the door, Black*Star stopped shaking Maka and looked over at the door, her partner was standing there with his usual cool-headed expression.
   "Soul! You heard the laughing too right?!" Black*Star demanded.
   "Yeah, but look, Blair's in here too, so it was probably her" Soul replied, pointing to the black cat who was still pretending to be asleep and purring loudly, Black*Star looked at the cat for a long moment, he then seemed to understand at last.
   "Oh, yeah I guess your right, sorry Maka!"
   Black*Star released his grip on Maka's shirt and jumped off of the bed, he then walked over to Soul and gave him a high-five like the two always did, he then headed out of the room as if nothing had happened, Maka watched him go, still a little disoriented from being shaken like a ragdoll, Soul shook his head and walked over to Maka's bed, he took a seat in the chair next her and smiled in his usual way.
   "Sorry about that, Maka" he said, Maka smiled and shook her head, she knew that Black*Star was just an idiot, but he really did care about his friends, he'd just been worried.
   "No problem" she replied, Soul nodded and then looked at Blair curiously.
   "So, what've you two been up to?" he asked, Maka looked at Blair and shook her head.
   "Just....girl stuff" Maka replied, she didn't want to tell Soul about how Blair had tickled her, she still hoped to keep her ticklishness a secret, Soul shrugged.
   "Alright" he said simply.
   Blair suddenly woke up and stretched, yawning and arching her back again, she smiled over at Soul and jumped into his lap, she then started to rub up against his stomach and purred happily, Soul smiled and stroked the cat's back.
   "We had lots of fun!" Blair told him happily.
   "That's good, what was all that laughing about earlier?"
   "Oh, just some girl fun! Right, Maka?" Blair replied and gave Maka a sly wink, Maka blushed and nodded.
   "Yeah, just some girl fun" she replied, Soul nodded and picked up Blair, he placed her on the bed and then started to walk out of the room.
   "I'm gonna go find Sid and see if he'll fix this door....again" he said, he walked out of the doorway and left the two girls alone.
   Once he was gone, Blair jumped up onto Maka's stomach and sat down, she smiled deviously at Maka.
   "Wanna have some more girl fun?" she asked.
   "After all that, you think I'm really gonna let you tickle me again?" Maka inquired, Blair nodded happily.
   "Yeah! Wasn't it fun?"
   Maka drew breath to reply with a loud 'NO!', but she stopped herself because....that would be a lie, it had been fun actually, Maka liked to be tickled, she hadn't been tickled in so long that she hadn't realized just how much she liked it, she found herself smiling.
   "Actually, yeah" she replied, Blair giggled happily and ran up to the top of the bed, she then crawled down under the blanket and went back to Maka's feet, Maka felt her place her claws on both of her feet again, she then placed her mouth on her right foot toes again and started to nibble, lick, and run her claws along her feet and toes.
   Tickling was fun! Maka liked being tickled, but she was still curious what tickling someone else was like, she would definitely have to find out later on, Blair would be the one to tickle, Maka vowed that once she was able to move again, Blair would get the tickling of a lifetime, but for now she would just enjoy being tickled......

THE END......
