The moon was so bright. The sky was so dark, and the fall air made her shiver. He gave her, his jacket in hopes that her shivering would come to an end.

"It was your idea to come out here, you know." He stated.

"I know, I like it out here, I just wish it wasn't so windy." She smiled to him before continuing to walk down the empty street, in darkness.

The calm night seemed to fade slowly, until it became uncomfortable to stay outdoors any longer. The wind began to pick up, sending numerous leaves to pass by their faces. He felt bad that he agreed to come outside with her, not because he was cold, but because she looked so lost and confused. Ever since their last encounter with Medusa, she had been acting weird. Wondering around with no memory to why she was doing it, forgetting who her friends were, forgetting who she was. He couldn't figure out why he kept agreeing to her crazy ideas, like walking out, and around Death City, at two in the morning, with no reason to why she wanted to go outside.

He watched as she walked faster and faster ahead of him, it was starting to become difficult for him to keep up with her. He continued to ask himself why he continued to try to bring her back to herself, but he could only come up with one answer... he loved her.

"S-soul?" She looked around like a lost child, trying to find Soul.

"Maka, I'm here, look at me." He ran up and grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look into his eyes.

"S-soul?"

"Yes... It's me..."

"Y-your crying..." She tried to back away, almost as if she was disgusted by the sight of the tears.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." He pulled her back and hugged her tight, trying to stop the tears that started to fall down his cheeks.

"I-i'm not... Soul... I'm scared."

Her words sent a shiver up Soul's spine. She was always a girl to keep her fear hidden, to let her courage beat out the fear in her heart, this wasn't the Maka he knew and loved, it was a lost soul wondering through her body.

Soul moved so he could look into her eyes once more.

"I know you are, but I'm not going to let anything happen to you. As long as I'm here, you will be cool, with me." He forced out a pitiful smile.

She laughed a bit when he said cool, guess there was something left in his Maka.

"Come on Maka, let's go home." He reached for her hand and began draging her the opposite way.

"O-okay Soul..."

The lifeless Maka sat on the couch starring at the black screen of the TV. She seemed to get worse by the second. Soul figured that if he hadn't been here to help her, she'd be long gone by now.

Soul stood in the doorway that lead to the living room, just starring at her. She didn't even seem to notice his presence, or the fact that the TV was off. Soul wiped another tear from his face before going to sit beside Maka.

"So, Maka." He looked at her, but she didn't even seem to notice his voice. "Maka?" Once again, no response. So he bumped his shoulder against hers, finally she moved. She blinked a few times before looking into Soul's eyes, but hers were filled with emptiness.

"Soul... your ... my ... friend, right?"

"Yes. So is Tsubaki, Black Star, Kid, Liz, Patty, and Chrona."

She looked at her feet then back at Soul.

"I need help Soul. Help me!" She threw herself at Soul, hugging him tight as she cried.

"I know, I know, just a few more days Maka, then Stein will be back, he can tell us what's wrong with you."

She moved herself from his arms and looked at him in confusion.

"Stein?"

"Ugh... you forgot who he is too..." Soul gave up. He stood up and walked to his room and shut the door behind him with a loud bang.

Maka didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since the last time they has seen that witch, her memory had been all fuzzy. She began to forget who her friends, and family were. She began to forget where she was, or what she was doing. She knew Soul was what kept her together during all this madness. 'A few more days, just a few more Maka, I promise.' was what he kept telling her, she didn't know what he meant, but those words gave her hope deep down inside her wounded soul.

Maka continued to sit on the couch, starring at her empty TV, she kept hearing noises from Soul's room, but she just couldn't place them. All of a sudden she heard a few loud knocks to the door, but instead of getting up to answer the door, she just starred at it from her seat. The knocks continued to rap against the door, until finally Soul came out of his room, wiping his face.

Soul opened the door to see several people in the doorway, Chrona, Tsubaki, Black Star, Kid, Liz, and Patty.

"Uh, Hey guys, what are you guys doing here?" He shot them all a look of confusion.

"Where here to talk to you and Maka." Soul's attention went to Kid.

"Why?" Soul knew the answer, but he asked anyway.

"B-because we know there's something wrong with Maka, a-and we want to help you... and her." Chrona looked at her feet as she spoke.

"Cool, okay, come in guys." Soul motioned for everyone to come in.

Maka starred at all the people who walked in, but she looked confused, and terrified. Everyone sat in the room around the terrified Maka.

"Aw Maka, you look terrible!" Liz was the first one to speak, but it wasn't exacly what Maka probably wanted to hear.

"W-who are you people?" Maka's eyes shifted from person to person in the room as Soul sat down beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Maka, these are your friends, don't you remember?"

"N-no?" She continued to look around all the people in the room before a tear slipped and fell down her cheek.

"Maka.." Everyone whispered her name into the dead air.

"I- I can't handle this anymore!" She stood up and ran to Soul's room in tears.

"Soul, isn't that.. your room?" Patty questioned.

"Yeah, she keeps thinking it's hers, but now that she's out of the room lets talk about her. Were loosing her, we need to figure out what's wrong, and fix it." Soul's expression became serious.

"I agree." Chrona was the one to speak up first. "She always helped me... It's my turn to help her."

"Soul, do you remember what started her odd actions?" Tsubaki said, as she moved to sit beside Soul.

"Of course, we had accidentally bumped into Medusa, after she ran off, Maka instantly started changing..." He trailed off, as the tears blinded his vision.

"What happened during that fight?" Tsubaki looked serious.

"Nothing really. She got bit by one the snake tattoo's on Medusa's arm, other then that nothing came in contact with her."

"That's it!" Chrona surprised everyone, by standing up and shouting. "It's the snake. It's kinda like what she made me do to Professor Stein. Poisoned him, using her snake. She can use those snakes to do anything, she must have a plan to get rid of Maka. We need to get her to Stein."

"Of course! How could I be so uncool to actually think that snake did no harm to her!" Soul almost screamed as he put his hands over his face.

"Soul calm down." Kid tried to subtle Soul down, but failed.

"How can I? The woman I love is probably going to die now, because I was too stupid to realise what was going on with her!"

Soul looked around at everyone who looked back at him with a shocked look on all their faces.

"What? What did I say?" He questioned.

"You said you loved her." Black Star said, but he had his head down, and was starring at the floor.

"I-I did?"

"Yes." Black Star raised his head to look to his friend.

"Soul... Stein wont be back for weeks still." Liz stated.

"What? I was told only a few more days." His voice began to raise again.

"Well according to my father, he's off on another mission. He wont be back for a while still."

"No... No... No! No! That can't be! She wont make it much longer! Get your father to bring him back!" Soul beagn pacing as he yelled at Kid.

"I'm sorry Soul, but I can't."

"You have to! And if you wont... I will." Soul began heading for the door when he felt someone grab his wrist, he turned to see Maka.

"Y-you love me?" She looked confused and young.

"Yea Maka."

"Please don't go! I need you here. I don't know who any of these people are." She began crying again.

Soul looked around to everyone else, and noticed that they all were either gasping, or had shocked, or hurt looks on their faces.

"But Maka, you do know them, their your friends, our friends, they want to help you too."

"Help... me?"

"Yes, we don't want to loose you."

"Loose me? I'm not leaving."

"In a way you are. I gotta go though, stay here, I'm going to find Lord Death." With that he ran out before Maka could protest against him.

"S-soul..." She callapsed to her knees in front of the door.

I need to find Lord Death, and either find out where Stein is, or if he can bring him back, and I'm not going to take 'No' or 'Can't' for an answer. Don't worry Maka, I wont let you fade away any further. Soul thought, he just wished he didnt feel so unsure in the pit of his stomach.
