Step One: Denial
After the explosion, Tsubaki opened her eyes and saw a beautiful sky. She was still confused from the fall, and for a moment she just stared at that sky with eyes half closed.
"So out of place, isn't it?" she thought. She then let herself sit up, supporting her weight with one arm and taking her bangs of her face. Her entire body hurt, she had bruises and cuts all over; her dress was burnt and ruined; she felt sore and wondered, alarmed, where Black Star was. She couldn't see a thing of the battlefield, but she could feel her partner's soul wavelength (although her soul perception abilities weren't that good, Black Star's soul wasn't difficult one to find).
She sensed him, a weak wavelength. Was he that far from her? Where did the explosion take her? She tried to get up, run back to Black Star's side, but it was too quick for her body to handle and she fell again, dizzy. In the meantime, Black Star's wavelength began to fade, as if he was walking away from her.
"Can't he sense me here? Why would he walk in the opposite direction?" she thought, "Unless…"
Her breathing became shallow, she started trembling with fear. Tears formed in her eyes has she called out his name.
"BLACK STAR!" she screamed over and over, but there was no response, and her partner's wavelength kept shortening. "MAKA! KID! MARIE-SENSEI!" Tears started to fall from her eyes as she got up, the pain and soreness from her injuries almost forgotten, when faced with the panic she was feeling. "BLACK STAR!" she ran into the battlefield again, even with smoke and ashes blocking her sight.
She just had to follow that wavelength, right? She just had to run faster than Black Star and stay by his side, and they would keep fighting together, like they always had. He must be just fine; he must be running away from her because that's where the enemies are, right?...
But if she was so sure he was just running away from her, why wouldn't her tears stop?
