"Can't tell me that after all these years that's really how you feel?"

"It is. Get over it."

"B-But...-"

"I'm leaving now. Have a good life, Maka."

-Eleven Years Later-

"Mama! Carry me!"

Maka's eyes drifted over to Tsubaki and her three year old daughter. "She's very attached to you."

Tsubaki nodded as she picked up her daughter. "Her father is almost never home. But that's what happends when you marry a right-hand Death Scythe."

Maka nodded. "I don't think I'll ever find someone."

Tsubaki frowned at her best friend. "I disagree. I mean, whatever happened to you and Kid? You guys were going steady for a few years."

Maka nodded. "Yeah, but he's never home. I mean, he is the new Lord Death since his father finally passed on."

Tsubaki nodded. "And Black Star? You and him were together even longer than you and Kid."

Maka sighed deeply. "I loved him, but we fought too much."

"A-And-"

Maka quickly cut Tsubaki off. "I haven't seen him since that day, Tsubaki." Her head lowered slightly in thought of him.

Tsubaki frowned even more. "Why did he leave again?"

"He believed me to be too good for him - as in I was too good of a meister." She sighed deeply. "I still don't get it. I'd figure he'd at least message me if I was 'Too Good', but instead I feel more like I 'Wasn't Good Enough'."

Tsubaki shook her head. "I know that's not true. No one was better than you. You were Death's favorite meister aside from Stein."

"Which is one of the reasons Kid loved me so much." She shook her head. "I haven't felt the same since Soul left. I just wish I could at least hear from him. He had said he was going home to his family, though, I know he doesn't like them all that much, so I didn't get it."

Tsubaki shrugged. "I know you don't want to hear this, but he's probably married with kids by now."

Maka nodded, a bitter feeling running through her. "I-I know. I figured that a while ago..." She sighed again. "Oh well, I'm going to head home. Have fun you two." Maka smiled to Tsubaki, then to her daughter before walking off to her apartment she owned alone.

She carelessly tossed her jacket on the couch and kicked off her shoes, plopping down on the couch, looking around the room at all her awards and other stuff that showed how skilled she was. She had learned how to connect her wavelegth to any weapon, but there was still only one weapon that felt right to connect her wavelength to - Soul.

"Maka, why do you look so sad?"

Maka's emerald eyes lifted to see Blaire in her small-fuzzy form. She sighed deeply as she sat up and ran a hand through her hair. "Just thinking about Soul." She admitted.

Blaire seemed to frown as she looked up at Maka. "Is there no way to get a hold of him?"

Maka shook her head. "I called Soul's home many times - no answer."

Blaire frowned more as she jumped on Maka's lap whom in return started stroaking her soft purple fur.

"Why am I being so uncool about this?" Soul groaned as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Just go, idiot." Wes, Soul's older brother snickered.

Soul glared at his brother. "You don't know anything about this, so how does that give you the right to step in?"

"'Cause I'm married already. You should at least be with the one whom you like by now."

Soul growled. "I-I don't even know if she's married y-yet."

"She called about five times when we were all away from home."

"Well, y-yeah but..." Soul groaned. "Fine. I'll go. But if this ends badly, I blame you."

Wes shrugged. "Alright."

Soul stepped out of the room and to his bike that sat outside. He straddled the beautiful machine that still worked as well as the day he got it. As he started up and took off toward Death City, he could almost feel Maka's hands resting on his shoulders.

Damnit... He thought. "What will I do if she wants nothing to do with me? I mean... I was really uncool the day I left. I totally lied to her."

"I'm leaving, Maka."

"What? Why!" She gasped, turning to face him.

"I can't keep holding you back- I'm not a good enough weapon for your skills."

Maka shook her head, grabbing his shoulders. "Stop playing! I don't like this joke!"

He shook his head. "No joke."

Maka's lip quivered. "B-But this is so sudden. What about what you told me the other day? You admitted you loved me!"

"I lied." He avoided her gaze now.

"Can't tell me that after all these years that's really how you feel?" Maka said, her eyes starting to water upon the news.

"It is. Get over it." He growled.

"B-But...-" Tears escaped her eyes as she pulled her hands back.

"I'm leaving now. Have a good life, Maka." Soul said as he turned, biting his lip to keep from turning and apologizing for his painful lies.

"I never wanted to lose her." Soul sighed. "Please let her want me still..."

Maka stirred restlessly in her sleep. She felt as though she her body was acheing in a dull pain that wouldn't go away. She tried drinking warm milk, taking a shower, even getting some air, but nothing worked. It was now 5:30 am and she had barely slept an hour.

"I may have to call in sick to work today..." She thought, thinking how joyed her class would be since she rode them all so hard.

"A visitor?" Kid asked Black Star whom had come into the Death Room without premission.

Black Star nodded. "It's an old friend actually - can I let him in?" Black Star grinned.

Kid shrugged. "Yes, let him in."

Black Star walked off and returned with Soul at his side. Kid had to take a double take to make sure the being standing before him was indeed Soul Eater Evans.

"Soul, you're back?" Kid asked, stepping down the stairs to stand in front of Soul.

Soul nodded. "Miss me?" He snickered.

Kid chuckled and gave Soul a quick hug before pulling back. "Everyone has. You left so suddenly. We all actually thought you'd say here at the academy to be a teacher."

Soul nodded. "I wanted to, but some things with my family came up. Speaking of... i-is all our friends still here?" He asked nervously.

Kid thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, everyone from our old group is still here. Crona and Maka are both teachers, as is Tsubaki but she's only a subtitute teacher. Black Star is kinda one of my right hand men, you could be too, Soul." Kid laughed.

Soul smiled. "Thanks. I'd actually like that." Soul sighed. "I-Is Maka married yet?"

Black Star and Kid broke out into laughter at the same time.

"Wh-What? Why are you laughing at me?" Soul stuttered.

"She's single." Kid finally choked out.

"She misses you a lot though." Black Star stated.

Soul smiled slightly. "C-Can I see her?"

Kid shook his head. "Stay here. When she comes in for work go find her. You and I have some paper work to do though if you're gonna be a teacher here."

Soul shrugged. "Alright, get me a pen." He laughed.

Maka yawned as she sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. "Damn, no sleep at all." She pulled herself to her feet and walked over to the mirror and dialed Kid's number to the Death Room.

Ring.

Ring.

"Hello." Kid's voice said as his picture appeared in the mirror.

Maka yawned. "Four star meister Maka reporting."

"You look like crap, Maka." Kid frowned.

"I didn't get any sleep." She bit her lip, looking away from the mirror. "Is it alright if I call in sick today?"

Kid smirked and it caught Maka off guard. "Wh-What?" She asked nervously.

Kid's yellow eyes glanced to his side, out of Maka's view before looking back at the mirror. "Staying home is fine. I'll call for a teacher to take over your class."

Maka bowed slightly. "Thank you, Kid."

Kid nodded and smiled as his picture faded. He snickered as he looked over to Soul and Black Star who were finishing up paper work. "Almost done?" Kid asked.

Soul finished off a sentence and nodded. "Done."

Kid smiled and took the papers, looking them over. "Alright, I got a class for you to attend to now."

Soul blinked in surprise. "A-Already?"

Kid nodded. "One of my teachers stayed home from fatigue, so you will take over her class."

Soul shrugged. "Alright, where is it?"

"Ironicly, your old class - class cresent moon." He laughed.

Soul smiled. "Alright, be back later."

When Soul was out of sight Black Star looked to Kid. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"I wanna see how this plays out." Kid snickered.

Black Star smiled. "And you always called me the fool."

Kid smiled. "I suppose I am at times too."
