AN: I was, after some convincing, able to not only write but actually post a story. Please review! It would mean a lot to me. I would certainly appreciate it! I don't if I'll continue this story. Tell me how it is ,post a review. Thank you all!

Chapter 1: Have You Ever

It was suppose to be a normal run. Go out kill the Kishin and come back. Like always. Like every single battle we've ever fought together. We go out and come back. Together...But not this time. Have you ever watched the person you love die? I have. Just standing there, looking hopelessly lost. As the world sank into the hell that is soon to come.

"Soul!"

"I'm... I'm cold. Hold me." Maka whispered.

It's kinda hard to hold the one you love when they have a long, metal hook sticking out of their stomach.

"Maka?Maka! Please!Please? Wake up..." I drop to my knees to catch her before she hit the ground. Once you hit the ground... It's all over.

Maka you can't be. I won't let you go.

It's as if she couldn't even hear me. She stares at me blankly.

Covered in your own blood, Kishin's blood. Maka's blood. The worst of the three. Not knowing how any of it got there.

The wrong place. The right time.

"I love you okay? Okay?"

"Its about time you said so, jerk." With what energy she had left, Maka smirks. It's not her normal cute smirk. Shes choking, gurgling her own blood. She coughs and whispers something I can't make out before saying,

"I love you more, Soul" It comes out as a soft whisper. Her eyes closed slowly.

A single tear rolling down her cheek. Or were those mine? At this point I couldn't tell.

After all these years as partners this is how it ends?

Maka..."Maka you idiot! You are suppose to make me a death scythe remember?!"

Damn it! Damn it all!

Someone is responsible for this. Someone will pay. Someone has to pay for ruining everything.

Everything stood still. Something switched. It's like a mouse trap or a flip. One thing lead to the next. It's hard to say exactly what does happen next. She brought out the best of me. I would've died for her. I wish I had. Who's sick idea was it to take her first? I feel dead inside. We were a , we are a team. Together. I failed her.

Insanity.

Insanity is defined as the state of being seriously mentally ill; or a state of

Madness.

The black blood consumed my mind.

Is this madness? A serious illness? Or foolishness which is also a definition of insanity?

I could feel myself... feel me slipping away. I could feel my mind blank. If this is anything close to what Maka is going through, she probably has the better end of this sentence. At least for her it's over.

For me... It's just begun. I slip far far away.

And I don't think I'll ever come back.

I'll never be the same.
