I ran through the cobble stone streets as the moon laughed. The rain had creased and we followed our target through the shadows. As we neared our target, I could see the sharp teeth shine of the keshin egg. I tightened my grip on Soul, as he appeared on the blade. He looked at me disapprovingly, since I had forced him into going on this mission. I knew this was going to be hard, since this was going to be our 99th keshin soul.
I jumped into the air, the moonlight glowing above me, as I swung down to cut the keshin in half. Once the blade touched it's body, it turned to smoke. I landed and went into fighting stance, trying to locate the keshin egg. I scanned the area, only to come up with nothing.
"Maka, it doesn't seem to be anywhere nearby, we should search another area." Soul said, once again appearing in the shine of the blade.
I didn't want to admit it, but Soul was right.
"I know, Soul, but I don't get it. How can something just evaporate into thin air? It just doesn't make any sense." I say, getting out of my fighting stance and Soul transformed into his human form.
Soul took a few steps forward and turned back to me, his face unreadable.
"Let's go, it's uncool to search for something you can't find."
I stared at the ground, then slowly nodded. I took a step forward, and before my foot touched the ground laughter rose to our ears. I spun around, trying to pin point the noise. I turn to Soul, and he to me. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. His face fell and he started to run towards me, screaming my name and telling me to run away. I didn't know what was going on, then I remembered.
I remembered what Lord Death had told us, he told us again and again that this was too much for us to handle. Why hadn't I listened? My stubbornness had gotten in the way and now we were in trouble. All because of me.
Soul's yells became white noise, and I fell to my knees. Time seemed to go in slow motion. I watched as my hands went to my torso, to find a giant black spike driven through. The spike slowly turned to black smoke and disappeared. Blood pooled around me. My blood. My mind went blank and I looked up to find Soul, horror painted on his face. He kneeled down, not knowing what to do. After a second of thought, he quickly picked me up bridal style, and ran to his motorcycle.

What happened after that was a blur, as my soul was being tugged at. I could feel the wind of me riding in-between Soul and the dashboard. I could smell the exhaust and clean air. I could see Soul's eyes dart to me, then the road, then back to me again. I could taste blood in my mouth, and hear the rumble of the engine. I looked up and saw the moon above, now dripping in blood.
The humming of the engine stopped, Soul picked my up again, and sprinted up the steps of the DWMA. The lights in the hallways hurt my eyes and my blood left a trail throughout the school. I could see the eyes of students that hadn't gone home yet burn into me, their whispers loud enough for me to hear.
"Hey, Soul." I said smiling, hoping my voice wouldn't crack. He looked down at me with a surprised look on his face. "This is really uncool, huh?"
"Yeah, so to be cool you gotta live, 'kay?" He said, mostly reassuring himself more than me.
"Yeah, okay." I repiled with a smile still on my face.
Unfortunately, I spoke to soon. My face fell and I could feel my body go numb. I could hear muffled sounds of Soul yelling at me. My vision started to blur.
I could see the silhouettes of Black Star and Tsubaki rushing over to us. They started to yell and scream at me to "hang on" or "stay strong". What were they talking about? I could already feel my soul starting to separate from my body. Soul's breath ruffled my bangs and my hand dropped.
I looked up at Soul one last time, and said the first thing that came to mind;
"Soul, am I going to die?"
