Maka ran to the forest she had escaped her parents' fighting all those years ago in. Now, even though Black Star - who she'd always find there – was at his apartment wondering where Tsubaki was, she was in need of its services. She didn't care that her childhood friend wasn't there, that much. He would just ask where Tsubaki was and Maka would cry all over again.

Did she love soul, the lying, cheating, idiotic bastard she found making out with Tsubaki? The idiot who just said he never loved her and called he names? Yes, she had been in love with Soul, but now she wouldn't mind if the death scythe – no she would mind if he died, he was her friend, but she was NOT in love with the stupid bastard who was exactly like her papa.

"Maka? What are you doing her? It's getting dark." Great, JUST what I need, she thought.

"Yes, Black Star, I'm here, and I don't give a damn."

"Great, do you know where Tsu-"

"Five minutes ago she was kissing my BOYFRIEND! Heck, now he's my ex!" Maka snapped, letting the tears fall to the ground. "Hey, look, I rhymed! YAY!" Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Oh, Maka. I'm sorry… I didn't mean…." Black Star just held her, letting her cry. He let her cuss at the two happy lovebirds. He let her let all her anger out, even after the sun set and the twinkling stars came out as the moon glowed, letting light into the forest. And he knew she was thankful for holding her and letting her cry, even though she never said so.

"I'm sorry, I was just going to tell her that all of our friends said they'd come to the goodbye party," he said once she had finished.

"Goodbye… party? Why?"

"She didn't tell you? She's going back to Japan. For good. She said she would visit often-"

"Don't believe that." He stared at her, dumbfounded. "S-soul is going to Japan, too. That's were he's stationed now he's a death scythe. I don't believe she'll be coming as often as she promises."

"Well, who cares about them? You guys won't get lonely with your awesome God around! YAHOO!" He boasted.

"You're forgetting that neither of us have weapons and Stein said everyone needed partners by the end of summer break." Maka pointed out.

"That's ages away! You're too uptight!"

"Tomorrow's the last day of school before break, dumbass." She had temporarily healed with her old friend's help.

"WHAT! You're kidding, right? Huh, please!" He was, sarcastically begging, if that's humanly possible.

"Nope." He sighed in defeat.

"Will you at least come to the goodbye party on Saturday?"

"Sure, whatever."

"DON'T MISS YOUR GOD TOO MUCH!" He yelled before heading back. Maka followed him out, but turned to the one place she could find the one person she never wanted to see…

"Blaire, where's Papa? I have to speak with him, alone."

DUN DUN DUN!

Fragile, how fragile, humans are
After all, nothing more than discarded puppets
Karakuri Burst- Rinny's part

So, this probably won't be a SoMa fic, but probably a MaStar, possibly a KiMa. Please no flames. (Compared to wht I originally wanted to put, this ROCKS, otay?) And I already am writing chapter 4 . This me vent for all the poop that's keeping me from getting more of Club up. Lots of love - Angel
