Chapter 2

Meanwhile, Maka is standing at a nearby lemonade stand, managed by a few of the neighborhood kids. She got a small glass, eyeing the man with the snow-white hair and whose eyes held the most beautiful rubies she'd ever seen. She smirked at how frantic he was, knowing he wasn't comfortable being in a crowd unless she was there with him.

A small hand tugged at her white miniskirt, and when Maka looked down she saw a small child, giving her the puppy dog look. "Miss?" He said, tugging her skirt again.

Maka squatted to the ground, now at eye level with the small boy. "Can I help you, kiddo?"

The little boy nodded, and gestured to the lemonade stand. "I'm thirsty, but I don't have any money, and neither does my mommy," and when he mentioned her, he looked over Maka's shoulder. Maka turned to see a woman practically scrambling around, probably looking for her child.

Maka turned towards the boy and smiled warmly, causing the kid to smile shyly back. "Sure!" Maka stood up and walked over to the lemonade stand. After handing the older kids the money, she took a cup of lemonade and gave it the the boy, who smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, miss!" He quickly and carefully ran back towards his mother, who looked relieved when she saw him. She looked at her when the boy gestured back to Maka, and she smiled in gratitude. Maka smiled kindly back, and turned back towards the road to find that Soul was no longer among the shuffling crowd. She frowned and sighed. 'He probably went back home looking for me. Guess I should head there too.'
