Goodbye Wild Horses

I slowly opened my eyes and starred up at the high ceiling above me 'Just another day'. I sat up in my bed and looked around the room, a red rose was sitting on my bed side table with a little note attached to it.

It read See you at school, my little angel, Love Death the Kid.

A smile appeared on the corner of my lips, it was my first day back at the academy since the accident I had on my last mission, but I wasn't gonna let that drag me down. I jumped up out of bed and ran to my dresser to get my clothes to get ready, I pulled on my normal red skirt round my waist and done up my blouse, I done up my tie and after pulled on my jumper and ran out into the kitchen.

"Soul!" I called out running into the living room.

I stopped in my tracks and looked around my apartment there was a letter addressed to me on the table, I walked over to it and picked it up beginning to read it.

Gone to school early breakfast is in the microwave.

I placed the note back on the table and ran to the microwave to get my breakfast. After I had finished I grabbed my books and headed out my apartment walking to school, on my way I saw Tsubaki and Black*star so I decided to walk with them rather than walking on my own.

"Hey guys!" I smiled running over to them.

"Maka!" Tsubaki yelled excitedly with a big smile on her face "You're back!"

"I bet you were getting lonely without the big Black*star around!" Black*star exclaimed victory posing.

I rolled my eyes and threw my arms around him giving him a hug "Yeah I guess so"

"How's the injury?" Tsubaki asked pointing towards my stomach.

I lifted up my shirt showing the massive scar that spread across my waist "Its better"

"Kid's been looking forward to seeing you again. His been so worried" Black*star said walking forward.

I and Tsubaki walked along behind him "Yeah, his not stopped talking about you"

My heart skipped a beat at the thought of Kid thinking about me "Really…?"

"Yeah, him and Soul went in early to make sure the big surprise party would be in order" Black*star carried on.

"Black*star!" Tsubaki yelled in fury.

"Crap!" Black*star exclaimed throwing his hands over his mouth.

"Surprise party?" I questioned raising an eyebrow.

"It was Kid's idea, to welcome you back" Tsubaki shook her head "It was meant to be a surprise"

"That's so sweet" I giggled holding my hand to my mouth.

"Just act surprised when you walk in" Black*star said patting me on the back.

I nodded and we continued on walking forward towards the school.

We walked up the steps to the DWMA, me walking along behind them, walking up to the front door.

"You ready Maka?" Black*star asked placing his hand on the door.

I nodded slowly trying to hide my nerves "Yeah…"

Tsubaki and Black*star pushed open they door and on the other side all of my friends stood there smiling with open arms ready to give me a hug.

"Maka!" Patty cheered running forward jumping on me "We missed you so much!"

"I missed you too Patty" I chuckled wrapping my arms around Patty's back to give back the hug.

Patty pulled away and her sister stepped up behind her "Hey Maka, welcome back"

"Hey Liz" I threw my arms around her "It's nice to see you"

I stepped away from the hug looking around the room "Where's Kid"

Liz turned around and pointed to the other side of the room where a boy stood starring at me with his shimmering golden eyes "Over there"

I stepped past Liz and me and the boy walked closer together, he wrapped his arms around my waist while I placed my hands on the side of his face and we pushed our lips together.

"Hey, Kid" I smiled as we parted.

"I missed you Maka, I'm so happy you're back" He placed his hand on the back of my head and pulled me closer to him "I was so worried about you"

"I'm sorry" I wrapped my arms around his neck "I'm so sorry" A tear ran down the side of my face a dripping onto my hand "I'll never do that again"

"Its okay Maka" Kid smiled and wiped my tears away "All that matters is that you're alive, that's all that matters"

I felt his tears trickle down the back of my neck, but I didn't care, he held me in his arms and let me cry, that's all I wanted.

Later that evening everyone was up and dancing having a great time, while me and Kid were sitting down and talking about our future.

"Can we get cat?" I asked laughing "Because I really want a cat"

Kid chuckled and looked up at me "Yeah we can get a cat, what kind"

"I always wanted a black cat and called it Midnight, I thought It would be cute" I sighed looking out the window.

"Midnight it is" Kid leaned back on his chair stretching his arms.

I was starring out the window starring at the moon smiling in the sky and the stars surrounding it.

"Maka…" Kid's expression changed "Can I talk to you about something?"

I turned back to face him "Sure, what is it Kid"

He had sorrow and despair in his eyes "I want you to know that I'll always love you no matter what happens"

My heart shattered "What is it Kid you can tell me"

"I really don't know how to say this" He started to hesitated which cause me to worry "I'm going on a mission…"

"That's not so bad Kid" I smiled hoping that's all it was "I'm sure you'll be fine"

He starred at me for a while his eyes starting to fill with tears "I'm gonna be gone for a while"

That's when it hurt the most "How long, a week?"

Tears started to fall down his cheeks once again "A year…"

My jaw dropped and I sat back in my chair "You said no right?"

He stayed silent not responding to my question, he just looked away.

I stood up with tears dripping down my face too "Please Kid tell me you said no!"

"I tried!" He exclaimed "I tried but Lord Death wouldn't accept it, I have to go Maka…"

I sat back down slowly wiping the tears away from my face "You can't leave for a year, it's too long!"

"I'll come back" Kid tried to calm me down "I promise"

"Are Liz and Patty going too?" I asked trying to make it seem less bad than it was.

He shook his head "No, it's a reaper thing, just me"

I sniffed "When do you leave?"

"Three days…" He sighed looking out of the window "Maka I-"

"Three days!" I stood up yelling again "No it's not long enough!"

"Maka please…"

I span around and ran out of the room, running upstairs towards the balcony.

"Maka!" Kid called out after me but I didn't turn back.

"I'll get her" Soul sighed patting Kid on the back and walking after me.

I sat on the edge of the balcony starring into the open night sky and watching the stars dance around with the moon 'Kid, you can't leave me. What if you don't come back, what if you forget me?' I sniffed wiping my tears away 'Take me with you'

"So this is where you went" Soul said from behind me "The moon sure is big"

"Yeah" I tried to hide my face so he wouldn't' know I'd been crying.

"It's not Kid's fault he has to go" Soul sighed "Lord Death's orders"

"You're just saying that because Liz doesn't have to go" I said harshly "You get to see her and not lose her for a year"

He looked down at the ground "I don't know what pain you're in right now, but I know what pain Kid doesn't deserve, and this is one of them"

I didn't reply I continued to stare out at the dancing stars.

"You're not the one whose leaving" He turned around and started to walk away "Think about someone else for a change"

I sat there stunned starring off into the distance 'His right, I should go apologize to Kid'

I stood up and walked back inside the building, I walked down the stairs with what ever pride I had left and walked back into the hall where I left Kid sitting there crying.

I walked over to him and sat down placing my hands in his "I'm sorry Kid, I shouldn't have acted like that, and I shouldn't make this harder for you than it already is"

He looked up at me with his teary golden eyes "It's okay"

Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, my love
I can't hide, can't hide,
can't hide what has come.
I have to go, I have to go, I have to go
and leave you alone.
But always know, always know, always know
that I love you so,
I love you so, I love you so.

As the days went by Kid spent his time packing, since he would be gone for a year he had to pack a lot of things, we didn't really spend a lot of time together but he said on his last day he would spend as much time with me as possible.

"Maka!" Kid called to me from across the park "Sorry I'm late, Patty ruined the perfect symmetry of the picture frames"

I giggled "That's okay, I'm gonna miss you're little OCD freak outs"

He raised an eyebrow at me before grabbing hold of my hand and pulling me over towards the swings "Come on"

I sat down on the swing and Kid ran behind me and started to push me, I laughed as he continuously pushed me forward.

"This is so fun!" I exclaimed as I flew through the air.

Kid stayed silent behind me, it made me think I didn't even say anything, I stopped the swing and stayed still.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked a sound of sorrow in my voice.

He still said nothing, I stood up and turned around to face him, he was starring down at the ground, he slowly started to open his mouth but no words came out.

"I leave tomorrow…" He started off "This is the last day we spend together"

I placed my hands in his "I know Kid, but we can't let that ruin this moment we have"

"I know but promise me something" He looked up at me "When were apart, will you forget me?"

I took a step closer towards him "Of course I won't, I could never forget the other half of my heart"

He starred into my eyes and I starred back into his, a smiled approached his mouth "I'm the other half of your heart?"

I pressed my lips against his cheek and then did the same on the other so he would be symmetrical "You're my life Kid…"

The wind blew across his face causing strands of his hair to fall out of place, at first I thought he would have a fit about it but he just stood there smiling back at me "I love you Maka"

"I love you too" I bit my lip trying to hold back my tears.

He place a hand on the back of my head and pulled me close to him, he pressed his lips against mine softly but I hardened it pressing harder to deepen the kiss, I placed my hands on either side of his cheeks as my tongue intertwined with his in our mouths, dancing like they were the moons and the stars in the sky. He tightened his grip around my waist and held me close to him, not wanting to let me go, to afraid he would lose me.

Goodbye, brown eyes
goodbye for now,
goodbye, sunshine,
take care of yourself,

I have to go, I have to go, I have to go
and leave you alone.
But always know, always know, always know
that I love you so,
I love you so, I love you so…
