Maka backed up and nearly fell over at the sight of that disgusting monster before her. She turned her head to call for Soul, yet he wasn't there…Maka silently cursed and looked around for Tsubaki or even Liz or Patty. (She needed a weapon to back her up.) But alas, none of them were there. Maka took a deep breath and decided that she herself had to kill the kishin. She balled her hands into fists and ran straight towards the monster, not being seen by it. Then she hurled her boot at it and smashed its head into the concrete driveway of a neighbor. Two little children quivered in fear as she did this.

"It's alright!" Maka assured the two fidgeting girls. "I can take him!" Maka then lowered her foot onto the kishin's head, causing it to snicker for some reason. Well, the thing is full of madness…She thought. Now at least I'll have something exciting to write to Soul about. Maka punched the kishin right in the gut, but she knew she could not fully kill him unless she had a weapon around. Maka quickly started calling out names to help her. The only answer she got was from Kid, who was still fussing about his poor asymmetrical house. Maka smacked her forehead.

"Kid," she called, "come here and beat this fucker up!" Kid's head snapped in her direction and then his eyes fell on the kishin, who was starting to rise to take hold of Maka. She resisted, though. Kid took one last look at his poor house and bit his lip.

"I can't just leave this house alone…" he sighed. Then he got up and ran towards Maka.

"What the hell are you trying to do?!" he demanded. Maka rolled her eyes.

"This kishin was just about to attack those two girls over there-!" she paused, seeing as the two females had disappeared, leaving behind a small doll with blonde hair. She shook her head and looked down at the now twitching kishin beneath her.

"Never mind, just help me, alright?" she asked with pitiful eyes. Kid sighed in disgust and lifted Maka up off of the kishin.

"Patty! Liz," he shouted, and the two girls came out of the house, looking a little baffled, "weapon form, now." The two transformed and Kid began the fight against the kishin. Maka sat on a large rock in her driveway and sighed as she watched the fight. If Soul hadn't moved, that would be you up there…She thought. Maka buried her face in her knees and wept a little. After Kid was done, he walked back to Maka and laid a hand on her shoulder. Maka looked up from her cry and sniffed a little. Kid smiled and lifted up the kishin's soul to Maka.

"You should keep this," he grinned, "for when Soul comes back." Maka sniffed more and felt a tear run down her cheek. She nodded and took the soul in her hands, hoping to find a jar to keep it in until then. Kid left, along with Patty and Liz, after patting Maka's head for a bit. Maka then stood up and went to the kitchen to find a jar. After she did, she got a really good idea for her next letter.

Just gotta wait until he replies now…

Dear Maka,

I got your letter, and I want to say thank-you. Give Black*Star my best; cool guys don't cry. I'm not so sure if this is a good thing or not, but I'm willing to try it. I do think we should try to go to each other's cities; it's not like we're across the world, right? I'm really not sure how the whole kishin fighting thing is going to work out…I'm GOING to become a death scythe, whether you help me or not, I will. I want to make you proud, Maka, so I'm going to fight constantly, even if I have to do it on my own. Cool guys never fail, you know. Tell Blair that I say, "Suck it! Now I don't have to deal with your nasty fish!" Haha, things have been pretty smooth over here. I enrolled in a different school for meisters and weapons. (I honestly thought that DWMA was the only school for fighting kishins…)

The view from my room is amazing, though. I can see just about everything in California! Okay, maybe I can't, but it is a pretty cool view. You can see the ocean, the beach, and the mall, which actually is just a minute away from my house. I've been spotting celebrities all over the damn place as well. They're clouding the place. I went to the beach the first day I arrived here, and let me tell you, I was the hottest guy within miles.

Do me a favor and mess with Kid's house a bit; I've always loved messing with that freak. While you're at it, could you please inform Liz that I am NOT just on vacation? She's been sending letters to me, too. I haven't responded to them, though. We weren't that close, so I didn't feel obliged.

So have you gotten yourself into any trouble yet? You always have had your own special way of getting into some deep shit, like fighting Medusa, for instance. For some reason I feel like that witch still watches me…Creepy. Tell Crona to stop being a wuss and at least try to deal with it. He needs to grow some balls and stop being a creep. At least he's gotten a little better, right? Well, I'll be waiting for your next letter. I miss you; I wish you were here with me. I love you. (Something I don't say often enough.)

Sincerely, Soul

Soul stopped writing and shoved his letter into an envelope. He sighed and taped the sides on the envelope since he could never stand licking the darn thing. He got up from his place at his new desk and ran a hand through his snowy white hair. Soul sighed and walked out to the mailbox. He put the letter in it and lifted up the red flag on the side. He put his hands behind his head and walked back into the house without another thought. Then he dug up the letter that Liz had sent him. Shaking his head, he read the short passage over again.

Soul,

Maka seems to be dying without you. On the last day of school, she didn't even seem happy or anything, much unlike everyone else here. Kid has been freaking out because of his house. (I'm sure Maka gave you the details on that.) Now he's trying to get everybody else to help him out with it. Whatever, there's no helping that crazy dude!

Love, Liz

After her signature, there was a small red heart. Soul pondered about the heart, and then shook his head, thinking that probably meant nothing worth his time. But he kept thinking about it, and it was actually starting to worry him…

Oh, well. It was probably nothing…

Nothing…
