Author's note: I hope you enjoy this story. This is my first and I've put a lot of thought and "research" into it. I've watched Soul Eater and read some Manga. While doing this, I took different senarios and put a little twist on them for the story. Also, in this backstory, Maka is 5 and Kid is 6. then it jumps their ages to 10 and 11. I'm pretty sure ya'll will catch when that happens. Once chapter one starts, Maka is 16 where as Kid is 17. Anyways, please do enjoy and don't be scared to give reviews and tips. Thanks!
Backstory
Death The Kid has been a huge part of Maka's life. Spirit, Maka's father, is Lord Death's Personal Death Scythe. This was the start of how Kid and Maka came to know each other. When Kid was born, Spirit was certain he wanted a child, especially a daughter to spoil. About a year later, Maka was born. Spirit couldn't have been more proud of his new family. Maka and Kid got along very well growning up. They were almost always together, whether it be they were reading books together, talking about their favorite things, or outside playing. Going outside to play was one of their favorite things to do. Maka would find a big, long stick to be her weapon. She imagined her weapon to be a Scythe, just like her father. Kid Somehow always found two small, symmetrical sticks for his weapons, which he imagined were twin pistols. Once they had their weapons, Kid and Maka would go and fight the bad guys. Those "bad guys" happened to be trees. Kid had put the idea of becoming the best meisters in all of Death City into his and Maka's heads. These two couldn't have been any closer, that is, till everything started to crumble in their worlds.
Maka is now 10 years old. This is when she discovered that her father is a cheating bastard. Maka felt sorry for her mother and wanted to do anything in her power to make her feel better, but nothing worked. A few weeks later, a divorce was finalized. Maka was devastated. She hated Spirit for cheating on her mother with any other woman he could get his perverted hands on. Maka as also disappointed in her mother for leaving her. Kid had wanted to be there to comfort Maka, but she wouldn't let him back into her life. She was too depressed and didn't want to burden him with her problems.
Kid had just turned 11, which had been one of the best birthdays in his life, especially because of his mother. Kid was very close to his mother. She was the one who kept him determined to help anyone in need and to keep the world in balance. She also helped a lot with his OCD panic attacks. About 3 days after Kid's birthday, she had passed away. Kid's heart shattered into pieces. He didn't know what to do anymore. Kid needed his mother in his life. He was a momma's boy, and couldn't have been more proud to admit it. Now that she's gone, how was he going to control his OCD freak outs? How was he going to keep the world balanced when he became the next Lord Death? Kid didn't know where to turn. Maka wanted to help, but she didn't know how to approach him. Lord Death was always working, so he was never home. There was still Maka, but he didn't want to burden her with his problems. Kid didn't really have any other friends, so he decided to lock himself in his room. He wouldn't speak to anyone unless it was necessary. The more Kid thought about it, the more he missed his and Maka's relationship. He wanted their friendship back.
