The heart monitor stopped from a spilt second and he thought his heart stopped too. Soul sat next to Maka's hospital bed gripping her hand for dear life. She had been overcome by the madness that the Kishin had spread across the world. When her heart wasn't stopping she sat their giggling uncontrollably, either that or she would just stare at nothing for hours upon hours. She had her bright moments when he would respond and talk to him like they had before their mission failed. She had believed that she defeated the Kishin with one punch but he was still out there eating innocent people's souls and spreading his madness everywhere. He would get vengeance for Maka's condition he swore on his life. His hand tightened on her pale twitching one.
"Soul?" Maka looked up into her weapon's eyes. Her eyes flooded his soul with warmth. Not the eyes of madness but the eyes of Maka, beautiful and vulnerable. "We won!" she croaked weakly. "The Kishin is gone."
"Ya, Maka and its all thanks to you. Thanks." He looked at her with sympathetic eyes. He loved her and the old Maka would realize that.
Soul heard a triumphant laugh in the hall way and a minute later a boy with blur spikey hair walked in "YOUR GOD HAS ARRIVED AND ASKS THE PERMISSION TO TAKE YOUNG SOUL EATER EVANS!" Black*Star yelled as he walked in the door. Tsubaki walked in behind him, a worried expression on her face. "How's Maka?" she asked looking at Soul. He shook his head with a defeated look on his face.
"I'm fine" Maka said with a smile appearing on her face. "Just as long as the Kishin is gone we are all fine! Right, Soul?" he nodded. Just then Tsubaki burst into tears. She ran into the arms of Black*Star who also looked quite weary.
"Listen, Maka we have to go on a mission but you have to stay here and rest. I don't want you getting up for anything and if you need anything call Nygus or Corona. Kid, Liz, and Patty are coming with us so don't call them cause they might be distracted." Soul said sighing as he looked into her eyes.
"But Soul, you can't fight by yourself. You need a meister. I'm fine, I can go." She sat up but her head felt immediately dizzy and she fell into Soul's arms. "Bye Maka" Soul said then got up and left the room with Black*Star and Tsubaki.
