Chapter 1: What's Wrong, Kid?
Maka's Pov.
It's been a year since the kishin Asura was defeated and for the students t the DWMA things are changing in ways no one wants them to.
As I sat in class, listening to Professor Stein's lesson, I noticed that Kid, Liz, and Patty all looked upset about something. 'I wonder what's wrong. Oh well, I'll ask Kid about it later' I thought.
"Hey Maka? What do you think is bothering Kid?" My partner Soul 'Eater' Evans asked me.
"I don't know Soul, but I can tell something is up."
"Like what?"
"I don't know Soul." I told him. But I did know when I looked at Kid I was really looking into his soul. And boy Kid's soul seemed worried, confused, and hurt all at the same time. 'Something is definitely wrong and I'm going to find out why'.
The lunch bell rang and all of the students of the Crescent Moon class had darted out of the room to get food, well except Kid and me. Since I was alone with Kid I took the opportunity to ask him what's bothering him.
"Hey Kid, you want to go get some lunch?" I asked getting his attention
"Um... Sure Maka. Let's go before Black*Star and Patty eat it all." He said with a small forced smile. And we started walking towards the cafeteria.
Out of all of us I knew that Kid was affected the most when Lord Death nearly died in his battle with Asura. After all Lord Death is Kid's father, but Spirit- my god-forsaken father- nearly died too. Then again I'm not as close to Spirit like Kid is with Lord Death.
But that fight was almost a year ago and Lord Death is all healed up, but Kid is still acting as if Lord Death is dying, but come on Lord Death can't die, can he? 'Well it's now or never. I have to know what's bothering Kid.' I thought turning to Kid
"Hey Kid?" I asked
"Yes?"
"Um... I was wondering…?"
"Yes?"
"I was just wondering. Why have you been acting different?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you've been distant. You hardly ever come to hang out with us anymore. Hell you even wore an asymmetrical shirt to school once!" I almost yelled at him.
"Can you really tell something's wrong with me?"
"Yes, I can now will you tell me what's going on. Maybe I can help you."
"Fine, I trust you, Maka. Now you can't tell anyone not even Soul." He said. His golden eyes crashed into my green ones.
If Kid doesn't want me to tell anyone that means something bad has happened. "I won't tell anyone, Kid, I promise" I replied not taking my eyes off of his.
"Okay then, follow me." He said taking my hand and leading me outside into the garden where we could talk where no one would hear us.
Soul's Pov
I was in lunch sitting with Liz, Patty, Black*Star, and Tsubaki when I saw Maka out of the corner of my eye. She was holding hands with Kid and I waved them over to sit with us, but she didn't see me. Wait… Kid and Maka…are holding hands? 'WHAT THE FUCK? When did they start hanging out? Why are they holding hands? When did this start? What does Kid think he's doing? Is he trying to take Maka away from me? MY MAKA? WITH KID? I've got to stop this!' I screamed in my head. I was about to go after them to take Maka away from Kid, but when I looked over to where they were standing, they weren't there anymore, and I wasn't about to scare everyone by jumping up and to running after them.
"Wow Soul, Maka just ignored you." Black*Star teased.
"Shut up Black*Star."
Maka's Pov
When we got out to the courtyard, Kid had sat down on a bench; he motioned me to sit as well.
"Kid you can trust me. Please just tell me what's wrong." I pleaded sitting down next to him.
"Father said that it's almost my turn to become the next Lord Death." Kid said sadly
"That's great! Isn't it?" I asked confused
"Not really, becoming Lord Death means three things; 1 I have to give up Liz and Patty as my weapons, 2 I'll be forced to marry, and 3 my father will die." Kid explained.
"Oh…wait the current Lord Death has to die for you to take his title?"
"Yes it's like how a prince will become king when his father -the king- dies."
"So by that means Lord Death is a King and you're a prince. No way! What about Liz and Patty? And if you're forced to get married, do you at least have someone in mind?"
"Well Liz and Patty, they will get a new meister, I'll see to that. But the marriage thing I have someone in mind, but I doubt she likes me back." Kid had said the last part with disappointment.
"Well you never know until you try. But I bet you'll be a great Death Lord. What about all of this scares you the most?" I asked
"To be honest getting married is the scariest thing in the world now. I mean come on I'm only eighteen, I still want to go out and travel the world, without have kishin, kishin eggs, witches, and evil souls to chase after and kill. I know that Father will die and Liz and Patty won't be my weapons anymore, but to be tied down for the rest of my life to one person and to never be able leave her alone to travel." Kid said with a sigh.
"I understand, when Spirit started cheating on my mom, I always wondered how could you love someone one moment, then go break their heart the next, so I vowed when my parents got divorced, that I would never fall in love and tie myself to one man because I know that he'll hurt me. But I broke that vow two years ago." I reasoned with Kid
"What do you mean?"
"Two years ago, I fell in love. It was one of the scariest things in my life."
Kid's Pov
'She fell in love even though she didn't want to. I guess it's true, love does change a person. If Maka's in love the only question, is with whom? Is it Black*Star or Soul? I know both love her - I know because I love her too- but does she love one of them? It was Maka; Maka was the one I was referring to when she had asked me if I had someone in mind to marry. But I can't do that to her.'
We just sat there on the bench 'till the bell rang saying it was time to go back to class. I stood up and offered my hand to Maka, to help her up, which she accepted. On the way back to class people stared as they saw us walking together arms linked together. But before we could go in when Mira Nygus stopped us to tell me that my father needed to speak to me.
"Okay thank you Mira. I'll talk to you later Maka." I said saying goodbye.
"Okay. Bye Kid." Maka replied.
"So what does my father want?" I asked Mira once we were away from everyone else.
"I don't know, Lord Death just asked me to bring you to him."
"Fine whatever, but it better be important." I said upset that father would call upon me once I finally got the guts to talk to Maka.
"So how did it go?" Father asked me in his cheery voice once I had walked up to the platform in the Death Room.
"What are you talking about?" I asked worriedly
"I mean with Maka how did the talk go? Did you tell her?"
"Sort of, I told her I might have to marry soon but I didn't tell her that I loved her." I said with complete disappointment.
"Ah come on Kiddo, you have to tell her. And what would be so bad if you did?"
"You don't understand, I can't tell her because she's in love with someone else." I pretty much yelled at my father
"Oh Kiddo. Do you know who though?"
"It's either Soul or Black*Star."
"How do you know?"
"Because they both love her like I do. And I know she doesn't love me."
"Kid you have to tell her even if she doesn't love you back. It worked with me. A long time ago I was in love with a mortal named Ayame, but she was in love with someone else. I was leaving the town she lived in and I had to tell her my feelings for her before I left so if I were to never see her again, she would have at least known the truth. As it turned out she loved me too, and that was that."
"Whatever happen to her?"
"The man she thought she loved before me killed her" Father said recalling the sad memory of collecting the soul of a loved one. "Well you should get back to class."
As I walked back to class I keep on going over in my head on how I was going to tell Maka I loved her. 'Oh well I'll think of something. I just have to tell her I love her before Soul or Black*star also confess their love for her.'
