Soul POV
I sat up in bed looking around. Why was my dream about Kayce with that guy? It troubled me. I watched as she ran for someone else and it hurt me. I shook off everything from the strange dream and headed into the kitchen. Opening the fridge I grabbed a carton of milk and chugged it. I look at the time it was 2:32 AM. I walked back to my room but I bumped into someone falling on them. The lamp over head fell on the person's face. It was Kayce. She was wearing one of Hunter's shirts. I looked at her at she seemed to be looking at my shirtless chest. I blushed. Her eyes got wide and I followed her gaze. You could see her panties. They were lacy pink. I look back at her face she seemed like she was going to scream. I quickly covered her mouth then pointed to her sleeping partner.
"if you wake him up he'll beat the crap out of me." I told her. She nodded and i removed my hand.
"Sorry." she said. I nodded. She looked away and then back at me. She gave an awkward smile. "Soul?" she asked.
"Yeah?" I said. She looked at me then at her self. I stared at her she blushed. Her skin seemed to sparkle as the light from the lamp danced around her face. Our faces were only inches apart. We both turned away blushing. We looked back at each other and I let out a awkward laugh. "So..." I stared but she interrupted.
"Can you get off me?" She asked. I looked down and I noticed that I was straddling her with my hands on either side of her head. I quickly jumped up rubbing the back of my neck. I held out my other hand and helped her up.
"Sorry." I said. Hunter rolled over and groaned. She covered my mouth and pulled me back into the kitchen.
"Not only will he beat the crap out of you. He'll ground me and I was excited about going on the mission even if your going to be my weapon." She told me. I smirked.
"Maybe we should go back to bed." I told her. She nodded grabbing the last cookie. She handed half to me then headed to bed. I went into my room and pressed my hand to the wall that shared with Maka's room. My fingers tingled. I didn't like leaving Kayce alone. I liked being near her.

Kayce POV

I walked into the dark of the room. I laid in my bed Maka had set up on the floor. I pressed my hand to the wall. I didn't want to go back to sleep where the nightmares are, I wanted to be with Soul. He made my heart race and gave me butterflies. I loved that feeling. My eye lids got heavy.

A figure stepped into the moonlight. It was Michel."I love you my darling." He said holding out his hand. "Come away with me. We'll run away. You don't need both of us. He doesn't love you as much as I do." He told me. I grabbed his hand but saw Hunter over his shoulder. His eyes were filled with tears. "We both love you. I need you as much as he does. Please don't leave me." Hunter said. I pulled away from Michel.

"I need both of you. We're a family. Your all I want but I need both of you. So if our relationship is getting in the way of that then maybe we should stop seeing each other." I told Michel. His eyes filled with disgust.

"I knew it. You love him too. Were you kissing him whenever I wasn't around?" Michel paused. I opened my mouth but he turned around. "Don't answer that. I don't want to hear your voice anymore." He yelled at me. Hunter walked over to Michel.

"I never touched her. I am only here to protect. Remember! I promised." Hunter yelled at his brother. Michel shook his head and pushed Hunter. Hunter slammed against the wall and was knocked out.

"Hunter!" I yelled. There was laughing behind me.

"Oh did the little girl lose one of her older brothers." the creature said. I turned around. "Wait! Your one of the shinigami's children." it smiled. "I bet your soul tastes wonderful. But I like to hear my victims scream before I eat them." He told me. The creature took it's long nail and slid it along my stomach. I screamed for Michel. He just stood there and watched. The creature sliced my arms. I screamed again. "Michel, please make it stop." I whispered to him. He looked away. "I Love you." I told him. A boy with white hair and crimson eyes and a girl with blonde hair and green eyes ran towards me. Then everything went black.

I woke up screaming. Maka and Soul were sitting on either side of me holding my hands. Hunter was holding me."It's all over. It's gone. It's gone."

Hunter POV

I heard screaming and ran into Maka's room. Maka and Soul looked at Kayce then me. "What's wrong with her?" Soul asked. Kayce let out a whimper.

"She's having a nightmare." I told him. Kayce screamed again. She must have been in so much pain. I sat behind her and laid her head in my lap. I kissed her forehead holding close to me like I had done that night.

Once I had woken up. I found a boy eating the soul of the kishen egg. Michel was already gone. The two didn't notice me or Kayce and once they left I hurried her to the hospital.

Kayce's eyes fluttered open and I hugged her. "It's all over. It's gone. It's gone." I repeated. She sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes. Maka and Soul looked at us with concern. Soul looked down at Kayce the way Michel did before the incident. I looked at Soul.

"Can I talk to you like in your room or something?" I asked. He nodded. I got up and kissed Kayce on the top of her head then walked out.

"What just happened?" Soul asked me.

"Around a year ago, almost a week after the kishen was awakened, Kayce was attacked by a kishen egg. I had been knocked out and it was that night Michel had been um rejected." I said keeping to the story. "She almost died and ever since that day. She has had nightmares about it." I told him. He nodded. Looking to Maka's closed door. I looked at my feet.

"She still has a broken heart from that night. Please be careful with her." I said then walked away.

Kayce POV

Maka hugged me. I had just explained everything to her and told her what had really happened.

"I can't imagine Kid ever leaving me. It just makes me want to cry. I' so sorry, Kayce." She said. Soul walked in he looked shocked. Had he listened to everything I just said?

"That was us. We hadn't seen you but I remember eating the soul of the kishen egg." Soul told us. I nodded. I looked at him but he wouldn't look me. He had the same scowl on his face that Michel had had that day. But why? Had I really done something wrong? I looked to Maka who got up and nodded her head to Soul then walked out.

"Soul?" I said. He walked to the door after Maka. He tried to turn the door knob but it seemed like it wouldn't turn.

"Maka! Your door's stuck again!" He yelled.

"Oh no. Let me call someone. Be right back." I heard her snuffle a giggle. He sighed and sat on the bed. I grabbed his arm but he pulled away from me.

"Soul! What did I do wrong?" I asked him he looked at me. Then quickly looked away. He had a tear rolling down his cheek.

"I didn't help you that day and what Michel did to you. That was just..." He trailed off. He rubbed his eye. "Uncool, Soul." He mumbled to him self. He turned to me and gave me an awkward smirk. I hugged him.

"Your so cute!" I said aloud. I covered my mouth. He laughed.

"Really! Cute, huh? I would have said hot, maybe sexy, or the coolest guy on earth." He told me. We both laughed. "Your not to bad your self." He said. I blushed.

"I only heard bad." I told him. He rolled his eyes and pulled me on to him. He brought his mouth to my ear. His warm breath made me shiver.

"Okay, then your absolutely beautiful." He whispered in my ear. My blush deepened. He put his forehead against mine and slowly leaned in.

"Soul! Kayce! The guy will be here any minute." Maka yelled. We pulled away both blushing. We hadn't kissed...

"Okay! Thanks Maka." I yelled back. Soul had his hand on mine.

I got up and tried the door. It was fine. Maka and Liz were laughing on the coach. "Oh-no I lost my wrench." Liz said in a deep voice.

"We're out." Soul told them. They sat up.

"Looks like it must have needed a little push." Maka said giving us a awkward laugh.

"That's what Soul said." Liz cackled. They laughed. Soul and I rolled our eyes. "You know like that's what she said but with Soul." She explained laughing between every few words. Hunter stared at the two girls.

"Um. Did I miss something?" Hunter asked. I shrugged grabbing Soul's hand. Kid ran threw the door.

"Need Soul and Kayce. School. Now." He breathed out. He seemed out of breathe.

"Um alright. Are you okay?" I asked. He nodded pointing to the door. Soul and I ran out and hoped on his bike. We rode to the DWMA and ran up to where Black-Star and Tsubaki were. So it was that mission.

"Hey everyone." My father said in a goofy voice. "So there is a kishen egg that goes by the name of the headless hunter. He, like most, only hunts at night but we think he might be with a witch so please be careful." He told us. We nodded then headed off.

Lord Death POV

I took off my mask giving it to Spirit and watched as my little girl rode away. "Do you think I should have told her? What she will face next will be harder then any kishen that may be out there." I ask Spirit.
"I almost lost my little girl that day years ago with the kishen. But I would have never wanted to put her in this danger. Though Soul will protect her just like he protected Maka." Spirit told me reassuringly. I nodded.
"Well if he doesn't bring her back I might have to chop him in half." I muttered.

Soul POV

Kayce held me around the waist. I smiled liking the way she held me so tightly. Her touch felt like electric shocks. It tickled. It was like we were soul resonating without trying. It felt wonderful. We stopped in front of a mansion. Kayce sucked in her breathe.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"This is um a place me and Michel used to hid out when we didn't want Hunter to find us. It's where we had our first kiss." She whispered to me. I cringed. I didn't like thinking about Kayce kissing someone else.

"So... Is this where were staying?" I asked. Tsubaki nodded. Black-Star ran up to the doors and opened them. It had pictures of Kayce and Hunter and another person that must have been Michel. Kayce ran in pulling me with her. We ran up the stairs and into a magnificent room. It had black walls with white flowers that bled red. The bedding was black with white flowers. She fell on her bed pulling me with her. I looked at her leaning in to kiss her. She smiled but pulled away quickly.

"I think I need to be alone. Just for a minute." She told me. I nodded. I walked out.

About an hour later I went to check on her but I saw someone.

"Mi...Michel." Kayce stuttered. In the door way was the boy in the pictures on the walls.

"I see you've found some one to replace me. Always need a warm bed." He said. She ran up to him hugging him. He looked right at me and smirked."But you always run back to me when they aren't perfect for you." He mumbled. I glared at him.

"I missed you so much." Kayce said. He bent down and kissed her. My breathing seemed to catch. What the hell? She didn't pull away. "I still love you Michel. I'm so sorry."

"You should be. I mean you almost bled to death on me. Then what would I live for." He told her. I stared at them. He was making her feel guilty for almost dieing. Anger filled me at her and at this guy that was taking her away from me. Michel hit her. His nail scratched her face drawing blood. She fell to the floor.

"Kayce." I yelled running over to her. Michel grabbed my arm before I could touch her. I looked down she was unconscious.

"If you touch her, kiss her, anything. Then she will die." He said. I stared at him Then I looked down at Kayce. I wanted to hold her.

"But I thought you loved her?" I asked him. He smiled.

"Oh I do. But she's still the whore she was that day." He said. Kicking her. I ripped my arm from his grip and punched him as hard as I could but he grabbed my hand before it could connect with his eye.

"God dammit! She is not a whore, asshole. Do you really think she would go out with Hunter when even now she only has eyes for you." I yelled. I had tears streaming down my face because I realized that she would never love me. I fell to my knees beside Michel staring at Kayce. Michel cocked his head to the side and laughed.

"Looks like she has boys falling to her knees in love like always. My, my Kayce." He said. He kicked her again. "I guess your not a whore after all. But Soul your wrong. She may still have eyes for me. I saw the way she looks at you too. I will still kill her if you touch her and then I'll kill you." He added. He smirked then was gone.

I was about to grab Kayce but I dropped my hands and headed down stairs. "Tsubaki. Black-Star. Kayce is hurt can you two go help her." I said. Tsubaki's eyes lit up and she ran upstairs.

"Why didn't you do it?" Black-Star asked me. I shook my head and headed into the kitchen.
