Oh my goodness! Not only is this my first sequel, but also it is my 6th year anniversary of me being on fanfic! So I guess this is my 6-year anniversary gift to y'all!

I do not own Soul Eater or Where Are You Now. They belong to their respective owners.

I do own Desmond, Rain, Vic, and other random characters that probably aren't going to get names.

"No! I refuse to move until I get some answers!"

"Come on sweetie," a man said walking towards the screaming girl. "How about we-" he reached for her arm.

Don't touch me! I wont go anywhere! I'll stay here and scream and cause a scene until I get the answers I'm looking for!" she yelled back swatting his hand away.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Everything went black.

She woke up later lying down in a bed.

"Do you know your age?" a voice different from before said.

"How long was I asleep?" she asked.

"I'll ask the questions. Do you remember your age?" the voice asked again.

"Sixteen. How long was I out?"

"What about your name?"

Realizing that it was useless to ask any more questions at the moment she answered.

"Flint?" She wasn't sure what she was saying.

"Is that your first, middle, or surname?"

"S-s-surname," she said as she realized how blinding the lights were to her sensitive eyes.

"Middle name?"

"Anya."

"First?"

"Desmond."

One week earlier in Death City

Maka ran into Shinigami-sama's room and ran down the pathway with Rain and Soul by her sides. "What happened?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" Shinigami-sama asked.

"Is everything okay Maka-dear?" Spirit questioned concerned.

"No! Desmond's gone! She ran away again! Maka yelled holding back tears.

Spirit was speechless. He had no clue how to respond. After a moment of silence, he looked to Shinigami-sama and said, "Stein and I will go out and look for her. She's one girl, how far could she have gotten?"

"Nope. You know as well as I do that she could be almost anywhere in the state by now, maybe even in California for all we know. Also, I see no need. She'll come back soon enough," Shinigami-sama said nonchalantly.

"You know something, don't you?" Rain asked, obviously pissed.

"… Nope! Why don't you three go to class now? Okay?" Shinigami-sama said waving his hands to shoo them out.

"No!" Maka yelled tears falling from her eyes uncontrollably. "I won't leave until I get an answer! You know something about why she left, don't you?"

"You're still as stubborn as you two ever were when you were kids," Spirit said softly to his beloved daughter.

Shinigami-sama looked at the three kids standing in front of him. "I know a lot of things people think I don't know," he said taking on a more serious tone than his normal playful one. "It's no the right time to tell you now. Soon enough, you will know why she left when you can hear the words come from her mouth," he said. Or maybe even his, he thought.

Maka was silent as she hung her head to hide the falling tears. Then, without a word, she turned and walked out, followed by Rain and Soul.

Maka sat down in the hallway, hugged her knees into her chest, and began to cry into her knees. Rain stood off to her right, as Soul squatted down in front of her. "Why did you just leave? Maybe we could have gotten Death Scythe to-" he started.

"They wouldn't have told us anything," Maka cut him off.

"So you think they know something too?" Rain asked.

"I know they know something," Maka responded with sudden determination to find out what they were hiding from her. Then something occurred to Soul. "What do we tell the others? We don't wanna piss off Kid, and we don't wanna make Crona catastrophic…" he trailed off in thought.

"We tell them the truth," Maka said against her better judgment.

"Tell who the truth?" Tsubaki asked innocently as she walked up to her friends. "Where's Desmond? Is she feeling okay today?" she asked as she noticed the black-haired girl was missing. The rest of the group wasn't far behind as they joined in quickly enough to hear Maka break the horrid news. The sandy blond stood up, brushed her self off and wiped her tears away before saying, "Guys, Desmond isn't here."

"Well yeah, so where is she?" Black Star asked.

"No one knows," Maka said, choosing not to tell him that Shinigami-sama and possibly her father knew where she was. These words struck the group hard. There was a moment of silence before Black Star broke out. "What do you mean no one knows? Someone has to know! No one can just disappear off the face of the Earth! Can't you sense people's souls Maka? Can't you find her? You've done it before with Crona!"

"Maka is convinced she'll come back," Soul explained.

"Why? This isn't the first time she has run away, right? We need to go find her!" Liz protested.

"She came back last time though. Have faith in her. She knows what she's doing… usually," Rain explained, half confident in his own words.

As the argument over what they should do continued, Kid stood silent and mental beat himself up for not being able to stop her. That was her last the other night, he thought. That was her outside the house! I can't believe I let her walk out of the town! I can't believe I couldn't have stopped her! This is my fault.

Rain left the conversation and walked up to Kid and placed a hand on his shoulder. "If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. How could you have known, and even if you did, no one could stop her once she has her mind set on something. Calm down, she'll come home," he said to get the neurotic meister to calm down. Kid nodded and walked away from the group to be with his thoughts silently. Liz and Patty followed to make sure he would be okay. Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Rain, and Crona all went to Marie's class.

That night Maka lay in her bed and stared up at the ceiling. As Blair jumped up to curl up next to Maka, she began to cry. "Everything will be okay Maka-chan. It's okay to cry and let it out but everything will be okay. I promise," Blair said to calm down her friend. Maka nodded while her sobs escaped her throat quietly, so she wouldn't bother Soul. "I just whish I knew where she was."

Soul sat at his desk, crumpled up pieces of paper all over the piece of wood furniture and surrounding his chair on the floor. He was scribbling down a list of possible places Desmond could be, however deemed it stupid and crumpled it up and tossed it. "Damn it," he mumbled as he hit his hand down on his desk. "I knew this would happen. I knew she would hurt Maka again." After a moment of silence he mumbled, "Where are you?"

Black Star and Tsubaki ate dinner silently. Suddenly Black Star looked up. "We should go find her," he said determined.

"Maka doesn't want us to. If she says Desmond will come back on her own, then I believe her and I think you should too," Tsubaki protested politely.

"I do, its just the more she's gone, the more everyone is going to be upset, and the more attention she will get so that means there is less attention for me," Black Star said, trying not to sound like he cared too much. Tsubaki saw through his fake hubris and smiled.

"I say we trust Maka. Because in trusting Maka that she'll come back, we're also trusting Desmond, and you've told me before that you have no problem trusting her," Tsubaki said making a point that Black Star couldn't argue with.

"I just wish we knew where she was going, so we could help her if we needed to," he said.

"Me too," Tsubaki agreed.

"Sis, where's Desmond?" Patty asked.

"I don't know. Don't talk about it around Kid though; he's really upset about all this. I think something happened when he went to check on her that day when we all went shopping after everyone slept over," Liz explained quietly.

"Can we go find her?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Maka doesn't want us to. She'll come home thought. I promise," Liz said reassuringly.

"Why?"

Liz turned around to see Kid standing in the doorway behind her. "Why what?"

"Why do you promise that she'll come back? You don't know that for certain," Kid defended his question.

"Well Maka said that in the letter she left, she promised she would come back, so she will," Liz said unsure of the words she was speaking.

"But what is the actual chance of her coming back?" he asked.

"I'd say high. You know her. You know how she acts. And Maka and Rain have known her the longest, so if they say she'll come back, then she'll come back," Liz tried to make him feel better.

Kid sighed and left the room and went to his own bedroom. Once there, he threw himself down onto the mattress and sighed as he reached over to his nightstand and picked up a framed picture of him and Desmond that Maka had taken the night everyone slept over. "Why? Why did you do this to us now? Why must you create such a mess? Where are you?" he asked the Desmond in the picture, even though she couldn't hear him.

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all.
What is the chance
Of finding you out there?
Or do I have to wait forever?

Well that was the first chapter of Beneath it All! I'm going to keep doing the song title thing. Not quite sure how they're going to be used for this story. I think I'm also going to use songs from the Soul Eater OST because those songs would just be fun to use. I swear if I didn't have this CD on my iPod I would have no inspiration to write! It helps so much! Well reviews are always appreciated!
