DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER

Maka Albarn sat in the back seat of a cab, staring out into the desert they were currently driving in. She desperately tried to fall asleep in fear of the memories that would appear as she slept, but lost the battle against herself as her eyelids began to droop and closed on their own. She silently cursed her luck in her mind as she drifted into the dream and lost herself.


Maka slowly walked to the basketball courts after Soul called her on her cell phone and asked her to come. She reluctantly agreed after he told her everyone was going to be there, including Rebecca, his now four week girlfriend. She didn't understand why he called her in the first place. For the past two weeks, everyone in her team was trying to ignore her to the most possible extent; save for BlackStar who was the only one who still interacted with her. She didn't understand why or how she knew, but she knew in her gut something bad was about to happen the moment she stepped foot in those courts.

After she finally arrived, she wasn't surprised to see how everyone avoided her completely and stared at Soul, as if expecting him to do something. She glanced around and saw everyone's faces, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, Kidd, Rebecca, and Soul, were all neutral and showed no emotion. When she saw BlackStar's, that was a completely different story. It broke her heart to see the pain and sadness that marred his strong face. She now knew something bad was certainly going to happen as Soul grabbed her hand and led her to the outskirts of the courts. She began to hyperventilate as she feared what he was going to say when he stopped and turned to her.

Did he regret the night they made love five weeks ago? Did he regret spending that night with her? Did he regret telling her of his love and most importantly, did he finally remember what happened that night? His words surprised her the most when he finally spoke to her.

"I'm going to make this really quick. The team and I wanted to know if you would let Rebecca take your place on the team and as my partner," Soul quickly spurted out as he noticed Rebecca walking closer to them, a hopeful expression on her face.

He didn't notice the hurt and pain that flashed across her eyes, or the single tear that she quickly rubbed away. She placed the fakest smile she had on her face and met his eyes with hers.

"Sure of course," she giggled as Soul beamed at her and ran to tell Rebecca the news, in which she squealed and looked at Maka, "Congrats! I have to go talk to Stein about the homework for next week so I guess I will be leaving now. Bye!" Maka began to run in the direction of the school as Soul walked back to his friends to tell them the news.

While she ran, she began to cry and cursed herself to Hell because of the tears that flowed down her cheeks. She ran into a strong set of arms that wrapped themselves around her body and hugged her as she thrashed, thinking that a rapist or kidnapper caught her. She stopped wiggling as she heard the voice that came with the arms.

"Maka?" Spirit asked as she looked up and saw his face riddled with pain, anger, sadness and other emotions she could not name. She looked past him and saw BlackStar whose expression only darkened as he saw her tear stained face. For the first time in her life since she was a child, she desperately grabbed onto her father and bawled like the child she was. BlackStar merely stood there as he watched his best friend clutch her father and fall to the ground, bringing him along with her. He knew tears were falling down his cheeks, but said and did nothing as he father hugged his only daughter fiercely, trying to calm her down and crying as she began to loosen her grip on both her father on consciousness.

A week had passed since the incident and Maka barely came out of her room, except to eat and use the restroom, not that anyone knew since Soul was never home anymore. Only BlackStar and Spirit came to visit her. They began to worry profusely when she threw up ever morning and quickly called Stein over. The news was shocking to everyone in the room when Stein delivered the news.

"You're pregnant Maka," Stein stared at the young girl in front of him as she protectively grabbed her stomach when Spirit offered abortion. He knew what was going to happen, but merely stood up and walked to the door. As the door clicked shut behind him, Stein heard the outraged roars of the two men in the living room as Maka quietly said who the father was.

"Soul."

The next day, BlackStar and Spirit walked Maka to school after she demanded to see Lord Death. They walked quietly next to her as she passed her homeroom and walked right into the Death Room, a small bag clutched in her hand. Neither BlackStar nor Spirit asked what was in the bag as she walked past the guillotines and stopped in front of Lord Death.

"I was beginning to wonder when you would finally come. So I take it you want to leave the academy? And may I ask why," Lord Death spoke in his cheerful voice, though it sounded deeply saddened and tearful. BlackStar and Spirit began to object and opened their mouths to protest when Maka cut them off.

"So I guess you understand what happened and that I want to leave. Soul broke me off my own resonance team for another girl he loves, my friends all abandoned me and I'm pregnant with the child of a man who doesn't love me back, and I still love my unborn child anyway. I know I'm a coward for running away from my problems, but I promise I'll be back in a few years. I wanted to bring you guys with me because I wanted to say my good byes personally to you. I hope you can forgive me for leaving, but there's no changing my mind. I already packed up all my things and I have the next flight leaving for Japan. I promise I WILL send letters to you guys every now and then," Maka explained as BlackStar gave her a big hug, tears spilling down their faces as they both knew they would not see each other for many years.

"Well Maka, at the age of sixteen, you not only have become a two-star meister, created a Death Scythe, but you have also completed all the courses needed to graduate, so consider this your official graduation. I hope you have a beautiful child and I hope you the best while you are gone," Lord Death said quietly as the pain stabbed BlackStar, Spirit's and Lord Death's hearts from Maka leaving. Spirit said nothing as he gave Maka a bone-crushing hug before she looked at BlackStar.

"In this bag, there is a letter to everyone in explaining that I left. Only read it once they begin to wonder where I am. There is also something in there for you that will make you love me forever. I guess this is where I say goodbye," Maka quickly hugged everyone in the room as she walked out of the Death Room and out of the school. Never once did she turn back or stop.

Maka quickly awoke from her dream as two warm bodies stirred in her lap. She quickly took a look out the window and saw the enormous steps that led to the Academy. She sighed heavily as a small voice called her attention.

"Mommy?" the tiny girl with the bright white hair and emerald green orbs stared at her mother. A large German shepherd moved its head from her lap as the child sat up off her mothers lap.

"Yes Hana?" Maka replied to the now-waking child. They stepped out of the cab and paid the driver. Maka walked her daughter to the front steps of the school, her daughter mesmerized by the sheer size of them. The German shepherd vanished in a poof of smoke, only to be replaced by a tall man who grabbed Maka and young Hana's hand.

"Where are we?" The child asked her mother as both the man and herself looked at the young woman staring intently at the Academy in front of them.

"We're home Hana."
