*Kid*
"Hey did you hear? Maka got really badly injured in one of her assignments!" Kid heard one of the boys yell in the locker room. "No way!" another said. "Yeah. She's in the infirmary right now. Apparently, her and her partner, Soul, tried to use a move that they hadn't fully mastered, on a witch!".
Kid rushed over to the infirmary before he could hear anymore. Maka got hurt?
When did this happen?
He stepped into the infirmary and looked behind each curtain before, finally, opening the last one to Maka. She looked beautiful with her pale skin and golden hair. But the boys in the locker room were right. She did get beaten up pretty badly. Her pale skin was beaten and bruised. While her golden hair, had clumps stuck together with dry blood.
Kid inched closer to Maka, about to move a few loose strands out of her face, when the curtains moved open. Kid flinched. He turned around to find Soul with a vase of flowers. "Kid? What're you doing here?" Soul asked. " Oh! Um. Well, I heard some of the boys in the locker room saying that Maka was in the infirmary so I came to check." Kid said. Soul just nodded and put the flowers by Maka's bed.
The bouquet was a mix of different kinds of flowers but they all had the same colors, purple and blue. Kid smiled, Maka's two favorite colors. He looked up and knew that even though Soul often teased Maka, he really did care a lot for his meister.
"So, what happened to her?" Kid asked. Soul looked up at Kid. He could see the sadness in his friend's eyes. "Maka thought she could use Genie Hunter against Medusa. But we still haven't fully mastered it…" Soul trailed off. After a moments silence Soul spoke again. " Let's just say that… Medusa used our struggle as an opening." Soul managed to say. Kid felt bad for Soul. He must feel like it's his fault. "She's gonna be okay." Kid comforted his friend. " I know she will."
*Maka*
It's so dark. Maka couldn't see a thing. She looked around hoping her eyes would adjust. "Hello? Is anyone there?" she called. It was dead silent. Maka tried to walk further, thinking there should be a light at some point. Then, a whisper out of the darkness startled her. " Hello?" Maka whispered back. Nothing. She kept on walking. But, the farther she walked, the louder the whispers got. Finally, she began to make out what it was they were whispering. It was her name. " Maka… Maka… Maka!" Her name was being whispered all around her. Suddenly, a wicked laugh broke out. Maka would know that laugh anywhere, Medusa! Now running, she tripped and fell, the whispers and laughs still chasing her. When, abruptly, they all stopped. The silence made her even more frightened. After what felt like hours, all the voices screamed out at once, "Maka… You… Will… DIE!" Medusa called. Just then, something pierced her skin. She heard the drops of her scarlet blood drip onto the floor. Maka let out a painful scream, before disappearing into nothing.
*Kid*
A blood-curdling scream came out from Maka. " Maka? Maka! Wake up! Wake up!" Soul yelled. Maka woke up in a cold sweat gasping for air. She was even more pale than usual and there was terror in her eyes. Kid looked down, only to find himself squeezing her hand. He let go and looked up at Sou, who, to his surprise, was doing the exact same thing! Kid began to wonder if Soul liked Maka. They were partners after all.
*Maka*
Maka opened her eyes to a blur of fluorescent lights. She turned her head to see someone on both of
her sides. Then, something pulled away from one of her hands. She blinked to make things clear and realized both Kid and Soul were beside her bed. Everything that had happened in the past couple of days rushed back into her head. She turned to Soul when, something else pulled away from her hand. Were they both holding her hands?
"Professor! She's awake!" Soul yelled. A few seconds later Professor Stein walked in. "Ah, Maka. So, you're finally awake. Well, thanks to Soul bringing you here so fast, you weren't in critical condition. In just a few days you will be able to go back home and make a full recovery. So, from now on be sure to be more careful." Maka nodded and looked over to Soul, who was staring at the ground.
*Kid*
Maka was staring at Soul and, Kid couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. But, at least she's getting better. Her waking up is proof of that. Now that he knew that she was okay, Kid decided that he should probably be heading back to class. He got up from the chair he was sitting in, and made his way towards the door. Just then, Black*Star and Tsubaki both ran in through the door, almost knocking Kid off his feet. "Sorry Kid!" Tsubaki called, still running towards Maka's curtain. Liz and Patty were close behind. "Hey Kiddo! You already saw Maka?" Liz asked. "Yeah. I'm just gonna head back to class now." Kid said. "Okay Kiddo we'll meet you back there!" Patty called.
Kid just stood there for a moment. Deciding to take one last peek at Maka, he turned to look at her beautiful-emerald eyes. He must've been staring a second too long, because she caught him staring at her. Kid immediately turned away. But then, she said "Thanks Kid." And that sent him staring into her mesmerizing-emerald eyes again. She smiled and he realized that he was blushing. Kid turned away quickly and walked into the hall, causing him to release a long sigh as if he had been holding his breath the entire time. What was that?
*Maka*
" Looks like someone's got a little crush on you!" Tsubaki whispered sing-songly in her ear. " Who?" Maka said suspiciously.
" Maybe a little shinigami with three white stripes in their hair?" Tsubaki said smirking. " Yeah right!" Maka said blushing. She turned away before Tsubaki could say anything else. But Maka could still hear her chuckle.
Everyone was just chatting now, no one wanted to go back to class. Maka looked up at Soul. He hadn't said a word to her but, every time he looked at her he had concern in his eyes. There was something else too. Guilt? She tried to comfort him and mouthed 'I'm okay. There's nothing to worry about', but, he just looked away. Deep down Maka knew that wouldn't do anything, because she, too, had been in Soul's place when he took a blow for her from Crona. She knew that the only thing she could do for him now was get better, and fast.
