Maka adjusted her halo that was floating on top of her head and let her feet touch the softness that was the ground; it was as if they were clouds.
Maka smiled to herself but then frowned. "I wish I knew how my human life was… I mean, I'm not complaining, I'm glad that I've been chosen to be an angel… but I just want to remember." Maka grumbled to herself as she spread her beautiful white feathered wings.
With a sigh, she flew off to the main hall where they were giving off missions to be guardian angels.
She landed on the soft ground as she followed the others that were filling in. She quickly willed her wings to fold back into her back and sat down next to her friend Tsubaki. She nudged her. "How's it been?" she whispered.
Tsubaki's eyes widened and a smile lit her face as she threw her arms around Maka. "I haven't seen you in forever! I heard you managed to get Arachene on our side." She whispered as the leader of the angels, Stein, started to call out names and who they were assigned to.
"Yeah. It wasn't anything big." Maka mumbled a light blush spreading across her cheeks as she looked down at the ground when she heard Tsubaki's name.
"Tsubaki…. You will be paired off with the human Black*Star. You will be taking the form of a weapon, for on earth, he is a weapon meister. You will have to tolerate him for he is loud and obnoxious. He believes that he will surpass god..." Stein let a chuckle escape him. "If only he knew there was no such thing." He mumbled as he began to read off names again.
Black*Star… why did that name seem familiar to Maka?
"See ya Maka." She whispered, giving her friend a tight hug before spreading her wings and flying out of the main hall.
"Maka, you will be paired off with the human Kid. You will be taking the form of his best friend for he is lacking in that department due to his... mental issues." Stein said.
Maka nodded and thought of ways that she could become Kid's friend… first she would need to find out who this Kid was.
Maka looked down at her white robe as she flew off in the direction of earth. She noticed that this wasn't supposed to be what humans wore.
Maka felt herself losing control as she entered earth's orbit.
She let out a yelp of pain as she felt her wings snap back from the force of earth's pressure.
She found herself plummeting to earth at an alarming rate. Closing her eyes tightly, she waited for impact to hit her.
Kid sat up straight, his coffee spilling onto the ground of his kitchen when he heard a scream of agony coming from his backyard.
He ran outside, still in his PJ's and went to see this huge crater in his backyard, and in the middle of it there was a girl sitting there her face twisted in pain.
"What's going on?" he exclaimed.
Maka stood up, her legs a bit wobbly, but she managed to walk all the way up to Kid. She stopped when she was a few feet away from him and held out her hand. "My name's Maka." She said with confidence.
He looked at her hand, confused, what was he supposed to do? "What happened?" he asked her pointing to the crater.
Maka looked at the crater then back at him… the number one rule… don't tell them that you're their guardian angel…
With a sigh, she realized that she didn't really have much of a choice but to tell his. She took another step in his direction, not lowering her hand. "My name is Maka." She whispered again. "And I'm your guardian angel." She said.
Kid blinked. "You're kidding right?" he asked chuckling as he stepped aside to let her in.
Maka stumbled inside, her left wing is completely shattered, she won't be able to fly for a while. "No, I don't like to kid around. Hey do me a small favor will ya?" she asked him.
"And what may that favor be?" he asked her.
"Pop my wing back into place." Maka said wincing with every step she took because it caused her wing to dangle left to right.
"Wing… oh." Kid said wincing when he saw the pair of wings on her back, he shuddered, they would have been so beautifully symmetrical… if it wasn't for the fact that one was dangling. Kid shook his head. "That simply won't do." He muttered as he stepped behind her to grab the wing.
Maka winced and closed her eyes tightly, trying to ignore the pain.
"On the count of eight, I'll pop it back into place, that way, it'll be perfectly symmetrical." Kid said.
"One… two…" he began to say and Maka waited. "Eight!" Kid said abruptly and yanking the wing back into place.
"Ah!" Maka let out another yell of agony. The wings to an angel were the most sensitive part of their body and this was agonizing to Maka, she wasn't prepared for it.
Maka fell to the ground face first as she started to see stars. "Thank you." She managed to say through tears of pain.
"Let me wrap you up and then we could talk about this guardian angel nonsense." Kid muttered as he went to get the two first aid kits and sit next to where Maka laid on the living room floor.
Opening both of them, he took out two of the items that he needed and worked on the wounded wing first, when he was finished with that one, he decided that she had to be symmetrical, so even though it wasn't injured, he wrapped up Maka's other wing, until both wings looked exactly the same.
Maka was confused… was this his mental illness?
"Prove to me that you aren't just some freak mutant." Kid said as he packed the first aid boxes back up and set them back where he got them from.
"I thought the halo would have been enough proof." She mumbled, tired as Kid helped her up and onto one of the two couches before going and sitting on the other couch.
