WARNING CHARACTER DEATH!
MAKAS POV
"I-I did it... I defeated Asura.." I whispered weakly. My whole body was sore, and I swear I had more broken bones than I thought... I can bearly walk.
"Maka?!" Soul was just recovering from his injury. He stood up slowly.
"Maka are you alright?!" He asked but I was too out of it to answer him.
My vision blurred, my ears began ringing. I took a few steps frward before my kneed gave up on me, I fell but was caught by someone. Soul.
"Maka hang on! I'm gonna get you to a hospital! Its gonna be alright!"
"Soul..." I mumbled before my vision went black.
AT THE HOSPITAL SOULS POV
It had been hours since the fight, Maka was now in the recovery room but she hasnt woken up yet, I havent left her side since... I havent even let a doctor let alone a nurse look at me.. even though I know I'm injured as well, I'm not leaving Maka's side until I know she's ok.
"Soul?" I heard voices say my name in unison and call me out of my thoughts.
My head shot up as my eyes came in to contact with my friends. Kid, Liz, Patty, Black Star and Tsubaki.
I started to sit up to greet them but the moment I moved a sharp pain circulated throughout my body. I took a sharp breath and started to cough.
"Soul?! Have you even seen a doctor?" Kid asked.
"Yeah, man you look like shit!" Black Star added in.
"C'mon we're gonna take you to see a doctor." Tsubaki said and tried to lift me.
"N-no... not until I know... Maka wakes up." I said in between coughs.
"ooooooooh Souls in love!" Patty giggled.
"I-...am not in love-" I coughed more.
Everyone gave each other worried looks.
"Well if you wont see a doctor at least be smart enough to drink this." Patty said and handed me a water bottle.
I uncovered my mouth o grab the water bottle and noticed large drops of blood covered the palm of my hand. I quickly wiped the blood on my pants hoping no one noticed, and grabbed the bottle and chugged it all down whithin a minute.
"Thanks.."
Everyone too their seats in the room as we waited for Maka to awake.
It must have been around 10 pm when we heard a faint voice.
I lifted my head and through all the pain I limped towards Makas bed and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Maka?" I whispered.
Everyone in the room were on the edge of their seats. For a few minutes it was silent, all we heard were the beeping sounds of the machines hooked up to Maka. Until suddenly Maka's eyes fluttered open.
My heart began to race when her emerald eyes were visible.
"Soul?" She looked at me and whispered.
"Thank god!" I said in reliefe and fell to my knees. Everyone in the room cheered for Maka's speedy recovery.
She sat up slowly in bed.
"Wh-what happened?!" She questioned.
"After everyone had fallen from Asura's attacks you were the only one left." Kid said.
"B-but you pulled through Maka, you were brave.. y-you defeated Asura." I was able t say. I found myself getting weaker. I started to feel sick actually.
"YEAH YOU DID BUT ONLY AFTER I THE GREAT BLACK STAR WEAKENED HIM FOR YOU! HAHAHAHA!" Black Star stood up and added.
I stood up slowly. "S-Soul?! Have you seen a doctor? You don't look good!" Maka said worriedly.
Before I could talk Tsubaki spoke. "We tried to get him to see a doctr but he wouldn't let a nurse or doctor touch him, or take him away to be looked at until he knew you were alright."
"SOUL!" Maka yelled in anger. "You could be really hurt! I shuld MAKA CHOP you!"
When I began to speak Makas angry expression grew into a worried one.
"I- had to make sure my-meister was ok... and you are so-"
I started to feel really sick. The sharp pain in my abdomen grew. I turned away from Maka and clutched onto my stomach.. I could feel the throw up coming..
"I think he's gonna barf!" Black Star yelled.
Everyone stood up about to run to my aid, but I did throw up. And it wasnt my old food, it was blood. Nothing but blood.
I started to feel light headed, I heard screams. But hearing faded, my vision went blurry. I couldn't find the strength to keep myself standing.
"SOUL!" I heard Maka scream before blacked out.
MAKAS POV
I blocked out all the loud sounds in the room.
My eyes widened. Soul, the by I have come to love, my weapon and best friend has collapsed on the floor in a puddle of his own blood. While all of our friends run around the room frantically trying to do all they can to keep Sould alive until a doctor shows up.
A few minutes later Stein and my Papa came running in to your room.
My hearing came back.
"What happened?!" Stein asked as he fell to his knees and turned Soul's lifeless body around.
"He never went to see a doctor. We tried to get him to at least see a nurse but he wanted to stay here until he knew Maka was ok! He was coughing a lot and was clearly in pain but he wouldnt leave! When Maka woke up he ended up throwing up blood and then he collapsed!" Kid shouted frantically.
"Such a devoted weapon..." Stein mumbled, he placed his hand over Soul's neck where his pulse would be.
"Theres a pulse but its faint.." Stein said to my Papa.
My Papa ran out of the room. Then Stein picked up Soul's limp body and left the room leaving everyone wondering if Soul would live.
Hours had passed. Doctors moved me to a new room, only Tsubaki, Liz and Patty stayed with me while Kid and Black Star went in the waiting room and waited for results on Souls condition.
I laied down in bed staring at the celing. While Liz and Patty were asleep on the couch, Tsubaki was sitting next to me on a chair, was watching the muted tv.
"Don't worry Maka,I bet Soul's gonna be ok. Remember when Chrona hurt Soul real bad? I think it was worse than this and he still pulled through."
I turned my head towards her.
"Soul's strong." She finished.
"I know.." Tears began streaming down my face.
"He's gonna make it through this one." Tsubaki began crying as she pulled me into a hug.
We fell asleep shortly after that. I woke up the next day to find I was alone in my room. I sat up and thought for a while thinking maybe it was all just a dream.
Then my Papa walked in. He looked tired and pissed off.
"Papa?!" He turned his head towards me.
"Maka.. Darling, you're awake."
"Where is Soul and everyone?"
I could tell he flinched when I said Souls name.
I clutched onto my blankets.
"Tell me it's not true. Is Soul dying? Tell me hes ok."
"Maka.. Soul is-" He scratched the back of his head then walked up to my bed.
"Can you walk?"
"I think so? Why?"
"We're gonna- go see Soul." He said in a shaky voice.
My Papa helped me out of bed and we walked towards the recovery room soul was in.
"Everyones in there."
"Is Soul ok?" He didn't answer.
"Lets just go see him."
My Papa opened the door and we both entered.
Everyone was in the room. They all looked at me and my Papa revealing their tear stained faces. My heart sank.
I lightly pushed away my Papa and ran towards Soul who was lying in bed. His face was bruised and scratched up as bad as mine, he had bandages wrapped around his head blood was bleeding through them. A cast was around his left foot and left wrist. He had machines hooked up to him, there was a tube going down his throat.. a breathing tube, that machine alone showed me that Soul was uncapable of breathing on his own.
I grabbed Soul's hand and fell to my knees crying.
"H-how did he get hurt this bad?!"
Stein put his hand on my shoulder.
"The broken wrist and ankle happened in regular fight which inst that bad..but the internal damage all came from when he was hit with Asura's weapon." Stein said.
"He cracked his skull when he hit the hospital's tile floor, he can recover from that but.." Stein's voice started getting shaky.
"But something went wrong, Soul waited too long to see a doctor, he moved around too much, he had broken ribs, the bones from his ribs punctured holes in his stomach and one of his lungs, thats why he threw up blood,we were able to stitch him up but he had lost a lot of blood causing his brain to not function properly. Which means-"
"So Soul is basically brain dead.." I finished.. "But h-he's still alive?" I asked tears running down my face.
"Maka do you see this?" Stein pointed to Souls heart monitor,his heart beat looked normal.
"Do all of you see this?"
Everyone nodded.
"Soul does in fact have a heart beat but..."
"Life is determined by a electronecephalogram also known as an EEG." Stein pointed to another machine that had a flat line. "If you no longer have an EEG this means you are brain dead like Soul here is. Brain dead is the legal medical definition of death, despite your beating heart." Stein lowered his hand by his side.
"Brain dead is the final cessation of activity in the central nervous system which is predetermined by a flat EEG line. Those who are brain dead show no clinical signs of brain activity including no signs to pain and no cranial nerve reflexes."
Stein looked at me with tears still running down my face.
"Maka I'm sorry but Soul is in fact dead. He died shortly after he passed out which means that his death wasnt painful..."
I dropped Souls hand and covered my mouth trying to hold back sobs. Stein leaned down in front of me and pulled me into a hug. I couldn't fight it any more I began screaming and crying. Everyone looked down not wanting to see me like this.
After about 30 minutes everyone left me alone in the room with Soul. It was quiet. I sat there holding onto Souls hand listening t the heart monitor and his breathing machine.
I took a deep breath. "Soul... please.. I-you can't be gone." Tears ran down my face.
"If you're gone t-then I won't be able to hear your voice.. see those weird shark teeth of yours.." I smiled but the tears kept falling and I began choking on my words. "I-I'll never be able t-to see your beautiful eyes again...to feel your soft white spiky h-hair.."
I lifted his hand and tangled my fingers with his. I began to laugh hysterically. "Its stupid really but I think I'm in love with you.. I forget why I never told you but... its true- I-I do and I-" I stopped and took a deep breath "I don't know why you try to save me really.. I mean I'm just flat chested book worm right?" I laughed and began blinking away tears. I laied his hand back down beside him and leaned over his body and laid my head on his chest.
"I hear it.. your heart beat." I clutched onto the clothing Soul was wearing as I laid there crying on him. "If-a-a heart beat doesnt mean life then what is it there for?" I asked him hoping he would reply.
I closed my eyes tightly and began sobbing. "Its not fair! All I ever wanted or needed was to be with you whether you loved me or not! Now I-I feel alone..."
Everyone came running into the room to see why I was yelling only to find me silently crying into Souls chest.
