"Maka! Two angels want to see you!" A very familiar voice called. Maka groaned inwardly. "Alright, send 'em in." She said nonchalantly.

It had been 3 years since the major battle between Heaven and Hell. Over those three years, Hell had no attacks or captures. It was a relief, but also worrying. Also, it was the anniversary since God died. Maka still had a hatred for Hell, since the Devil killed him. She was the "new" God, though people still called her Maka. Kami was still in the prison for insane people and surprisingly, Maka was the one who decided to keep her in there. Nothing really had changed.

"Ano, Maka, I had to ask you about something." Maka turned to see a young female angel with grayish wings, but mostly white. "What is it?" She asked. "Well, what are you going to do about Soul?" She asked nervously, waiting for the explosion. Maka stopped dead. "What about him?" She asked, only a little anger in her voice. "A-Ano... He was in Hell right, so maybe he'll become the new Devil. I just thought it'd be good to be on watch..."

3...2...1... "How dare you question me?! You think I didn't already think about that?!" Maka shouted. "N-No, I just-" "I don't want to worry the other angels by posting guards around the Life Puddle 24/7!" Maka seethed. Kid rushed in almost immediately. "What's going on?" Kid asked, looking between the 12 year old and the 17 year old. "Kiddo-kun!" She yelled and hid behind him.

"How dare you?!" Maka yelled and jumped forward. "Whoa, steady Maka." Kid said and pushed her back. "Why don't you go home for now?" Kid asked gently to the girl. She nodded quickly and flew away.

Kid closed the door, locked it, then turned to Maka. "What was that all about? I felt your anger from here to the store." Kid asked. "She was questioning my judgement! She should be punished!" Maka said while glaring at him. Kid glared back. "She was asking a question! She was only concerned!" Kid yelled back. "Are you questioning my judgement too?" She asked, getting up in his face.

Kid didn't flinch. "No, I don't." He hissed. Maka suddenly deflated and walked back to her desk. She rested her head in her arms while leaning into the desk. "What have become? I'm becoming so insane that I can't even trust you." She murmured.

Kid's gaze softened. "You know I trust you, and you can trust me. I understand how much pressure you have. I can feel it." Kid sighed. He walked over to her and started massaging her shoulders. She leaned into his hands. "That feels good..." She sighed also. Kid smirked and squeezed her neck a little too hard. "OW! What was that for?" She said, mischief in her voice.

"For doubting my loyalty towards you." He smirked and jumped back. He tackled her to the ground and pinned her down.

"You know, I sometimes forget you're a kid." He said while smirking. She smirked back and kneed him. He winced and let go of her. "You're just a few minutes older than me, don't get so cocky." She said while she went back to her desk.

"You'd feel stressed if you knew everyone's life depended on you." She said wistfully. "Not everyone's life. Only the children. The military take care of the rest." Kid pointed out. She sighed for the umpteenth time.

"I'm so jealous." She muttered. "Why?" Kid asked. "The girl, she liked you. She addressed you so formally, that made me loose it." She said while looking at him. "Well, I totally go after girls that are 5 years younger than I am." He said sarcastically while kissing her forehead. "You're the only one I love. Forever and Always." He said.

Maka smiled at him. "I love you too." She said and kissed him. He kissed back. "Sorry to interrupt but we have an emergency." Maka and Kid broke apart and stared at the military person. "What's the emergency?" She asked, getting serious now.

"We've detected movement in the real world that I think you both should see." He said, looking to the two. They nodded and started flying to the military base, the military angel flying after them.

Maka and Kid landed at the security system. "Your name and business here?" The speaker asked. "Maka Albarn and I was requested to come here." She responded. "Good, come on in." The metal door opened and they ran inside.

"What did you need to show me?" She asked. They were in a room full of large TV screens on the walls and keypads everywhere. It was also dark, the only light coming off the TV screens.

"We've detected something we thought you'd all see." An angel moved to the side to reveal two 8 year old boys, both hauntingly familiar. "How is that possible?! We killed them didn't we?" Kid asked, shocked. One of the boys had spiky white hair with red eyes while the other one had gray and red streaked hair and ice, cold eyes. "The Devil and Soul, why am I not surprised." Maka muttered. "Keep watching their movements, tell me anything new." Maka said, a little more louder.

"Understood." The soldier replied and showed the two boys on the screen as Maka and Kid left.

"We really have to keep an eye on them both. They could become a danger to the angels." Kid said to Maka as they walked side by side to the office. "I know, but I don't want to freak out the angels." Maka argued. "Just tell them that only military people can go to the Life Puddle instead of people who can't fight." Kid said. Maka just nodded.

"Attention all angels, this is an important announcement. Only military angels are aloud to go near the Life Puddle. Repeating, only all military angels are aloud near the Life Puddle. Those who go near it that aren't the said angels risk losing their life. Thank you." She said then put down the speaker thing.

"Just when I thought we got rid of them." Kid said darkly. "Wait, they must have put a part of their spirit into the humans. They have been alive for 8 years while it's only been 3 years since they died." Maka said. "But Soul didn't die, he just ran away. That makes him even more powerful and The Devil can take over anyone who has a hatred." Kid pointed out. "Yeah, well, how did they manage to do that?" Maka asked.

"They could have taken over a normal human boy's spirit and replaced with their own. Or they could have manipulated time and age in the real world. Things are just getting so complicated." Kid said and collapsed onto a chair. "At least we're in this together. And we have the element of surprise. For all they know, we're still clueless about them." Maka said then closed her eyes.

"At least now things aren't as boring." Kid said. "Yeah, but not the excitement we want." Maka muttered mutinously. Kid shrugged.

"I guess you're right."
