"MAKA, DUCK." Soul shouts.

I instantly duck down; barely missing the bullet aimed towards my head.

"You have to be fucking kidding me!" I scream, reflecting another bullet with Soul.

We were currently on a mission to kill a reported kinshi near the coast. Usually this wouldn't be a problem but this one was smart and had guns. Every time I swung, it dodged and shot back. My body was screaming out in exhaustion, sore and tired.

"Why won't you just die?!" I panted, out of breath. I swung once again and missed.

"Of all things, GUNS?!" Soul yelled out in frustration.

"I'm starting to thin-" Suddenly I screamed out. My whole side was filled with pain and felt like it was on fire. I leaned behind a pillar, putting pressure on my side. Soul transformed back and ran towards me. I winched as he removed my hand. My once white glove was now stained red with blood. My vision started to become hazy.

"Damn it Maka," He muttered. "We need to leave right n- AHH."

"SOUL!" I screamed out. He fell to the ground, clenching his chest. He looked up to me, his breathing becoming shallow.

"Run," He mouths. I started to turn but felt an object placed behind my head. Fear swelled up inside of me. I closed my eyes and held in my breath.

Boom.

I screamed and jolted upright. My breaths were heavy and my body was completely covered in sweat. Sobs immediately began to take over as my shoulders shook. Tears streaked down my face as I covered my eyes. I felt hands wrap around me and I screamed, trying to break free.

"No! Let me go!" I screamed. Sobs racked my whole body but I continued to thrash. My hands were grabbed and arms wrapped around me, preventing me from fighting.

"Maka!" Soul screamed. "Maka! Calm down, you're okay!"

I took deep breaths and slowing opened my tear filled eyes. It was 4 A.M. in the morning and I was in Soul's bed. Soul's face was filled with worry and concern but was trying to sooth me through the bond. I turned around and buried my face into his chest, sobbing.

"I h-had a n-nightmare," I choked out, my voice also breaking.

"I know," He whispered, drawing circles on my back. "I know."

After a few minutes had past I began to calm down. My breathing became even again and I stopped crying.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. I shook my head and mumbled a no.

He sighed. "Okay, come on let's go back to sleep. We have school tomorrow."

He laid down, wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me in close to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed in slowly.

"Soul?" I whispered.

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

His arms around me tightened and he leaned in to kiss my forehead.

"I love you too Maka."

I closed my eyes letting sleep take over me.
