Chapter 2
At the cafe:
A New Team?
They sat down at a table in the cafe, Kid still blushing, "So uhm… Maka?"
"Yeah Kid?" she replied with a soft look, "What is it?"
"Well uhm… Remember how I said I liked this girl?" He asked softly, lowering his head. Maka nodded gently, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Well uhm…" Kid shifted slightly, "This girl, she's… She's a meister and…. Her name is Ma-" He was cut off when a man appeared before them.
The man smirked down at them, showing his sharp, dog-like teeth, "Good evening, children. Might I… Take your souls?" He lunged forward but was stopped by Maka. With a flash, blood appeared on her cheek and she growled, turning into a glowing-white, double-ended scythe. Without thinking, Kid grabbed the silver bar with a soft grunt.
"You're…..A weapon… But… Light weighted…. How?" he thought to himself. He had only been able to use his twin pistols… Never a scythe… So this was new to him. He never thought he'd match wavelengths with a weapon who was also a meister… But another weapon in general!
"You're a keshin… A hideous one at that!" Kid lunged forward for his attack, swinging Maka towards the man. It was only a matter of time before they had chased the man outside and down the street to find the others at the beach.
"Ooh look! There's Ki-" Patti called out but froze, seeing the white scythe, "H-Hey Liz? Who's Kid holding?"
Liz glanced up a bit, "No time! We have to help him.. I'm guessing he's after a keshin so we should help! Patti! Weapon form!"
"Okie doki, sis!" She gave her usual giggle before glowing a light purple, turning into her silver and black pistol.
"Tsubaki! Enchanted sword mode!" Black*Star called to his weapon. She nodded, glowing silver before turning into a black katana, falling into the blue-haired boy's hands.
Soul looked around, "Hey… What about me?! I don't have a meister…" Then it came to him. He squinted his eyes to see the white scythe better. He thought :
The day we defeated Asura…. I remember now…. I remember opening my eyes and see Maka… She had blades coming out of her body… They were… Pure white…. Just like that scythe that Kid has…. And… Kid had said he was going for a walk and Maka followed him… I have a wild guess that… That scythe Kid's carrying… Is Maka
"Kid? Who's that?" Liz asked coldly, watching the red soul sitting there, floating in front of them.
Kid looked down at the scythe, looking weirdly before Maka transformed, "Kid- how did you…" They both looked just as confused at the others when they finally appeared.
"Well uhm.." Kid shifted, "Y...You killed the guy so… You should eat the soul…" Maka blushed a bit and nodded, walking over to it. She gently grabbed the soul and shoved it in her mouth. Her skin turned pale but she forced herself to eat it. Goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"How does it feel Maka?" Soul walked up with a sigh.
"Blech!" Maka coughed, her skin completely white, "Soul, Liz, Patti, Tsubaki? How can you guys eat souls?! They're disgusting!"
"Well, Maka, you're a meister… And you just turned into a weapon... Not only is that strange… Kid was able to carry you with ease," Tsubaki noted. Maka lowered her head a bit.
"I guess you're right... " she turned away and started walking, "I'm gunna go for a walk…" Kid stepped forward but immediately backed down, turning his head a bit, feeling Soul might go and comfort her. But when he saw that Soul had just nodded and turned away with the others, he blushed and walked towards Maka, speeding up his pace to catch up with her.
"Hey, you okay?" Kid spoke in a soft tone, reaching out to touch her shoulder, but pulled away as she turned. Tears were in her eyes as she fell towards him.
"Wh-What's wrong Maka?" his eyes filled with worry, "Why are you crying?" Maka just clung to him, not saying a word, making him blush again. He decided to let her hold onto him as he slowly wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back gently.
He gently closed his eyes and kissed her forehead, "It's okay.." He held her close, feeling he might not get another chance to hold her like this again.. He pulled her closer and slid down so he was sitting, not minding the sand sticking to his pants. He sat with his legs crossed, pulling Maka to sit on his lap.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asked, resting his head against hers.
"W-Well…. This place was… Where my parents met…." She lowered her head. Kid must have noticed cause he moved her a bit so they were facing each other, "And… This is where I….. I found out I liked someone…. More than just a friend…"
Kid winced, lowering his head a bit, but only to where she couldn't notice, "Really? Who?" He couldn't help but wonder who Maka liked… Being that he also liked her...
"I-I can't say!" Maka blushed deeply and pushed herself away from him.
Kid tilted his head a bit, "I won't tell, I promise." He gave her a warm smile.
She lowered her head, "I...I can't… H-He likes some other girl…." Kid sighed and lowered his head.
"We should probably head back to the hotel.." He spoke softly, standing up. He gently looked away, holding out his hand. She whimpered, slowly taking it and standing.
"Thank you.. But… W-we never really got our coffee," She smiled a bit. He felt his cheeks heat up and he smiled back, pulling her along. The got back to the cafe and drank their coffee and paid, before walking home. Maka was shivering a bit, but half asleep, wobbling a lot. Kid smiled a bit and wrapped his coat around her before picking her up, bridal style. Maka blushed deeply, but allowed him to carry her.
She moved her head against his shoulder and dozed off with the thought, "I… I love you Kid… Please… Don't ever let me go…" Her arm closest to him was lying on her stomach, the other was dangling down, hanging by her side. Kid smiled a bit, carrying her back to the penthouse. He walked in, blushing as the others watched as he carried Maka to her bedroom. Tsubaki, her roommate, had followed.
"What happened? Is she alright?" Tsubaki asked.
Kid nodded, "Yeah, she just fell asleep. Mind pulling her blankets?" She did so, pulling the blankets away a bit. Kid set her down, pulled them over top of her then bent down, kissing her forehead.
"Sweet dreams Maka," he moved back, following Tsubaki out into the main room.
