"Oh my god who would do this to Maka?" Tsubaki asked, while sitting down by Maka to finish cleaning her up.
"Hey where did Black Star go?" Soul asked, looking around for his best friend that he just saw a minute ago. Tsubaki stayed with Maka while Soul went outside to the front porch to see what was wrong with Black Star.
"Dude are you ok?"
"I should have never left. Damn it if I knew it was this bad I would have come back sooner." Black star said, beating himself up on the inside.
"Dude it's not your fault." Soul said, putting his hand on Black Star's shoulder.
"You don't get I promised Maka I would always be there for her and protect, but this god failed at it." Black Star yelled, shrugging off Soul's hand. Soul never seen him so protective over someone before except for Tsubaki when someone tried to flirt with her in front of him.
"Black Star Maka's awaking up." Tsubaki called from inside the house. Black Star and Soul came into the house seeing Maka looking around to figure out where she was.
"Maka what happened?" Black Star asked, rubbing Maka's back while she sat up. Maka whispered to Black Star that she wanted to talk to him alone and followed Black Star outside.
"Ok we are alone now what happened?"
"Papa t-t-tried to r-rape me and the beatings have happened ever since that day, but got worse when you left Black Star." Maka whispered while sitting on the front porch swing.
"HE DID WHAT!"
"Black Star must you yell on my porch." said walking up the side walk with grousers in hand.
"Sorry , it's good to see you again." Black Star said, while helping her with the grousers trying not to punch something from what Maka had said.
"Black Star your mom just called we have to head home now for dinner." Soul said, grabbing his jacket from the couch. Black Star nodded his head while giving Maka one last hug and told her that he would come to pick her up for school.
"Don't worry Black Star she's safe here, now run along before you get into trouble." said with a smile on her face. Maka watched Black Star and the others leave from the window before heading upstairs to unpack her things.
Stein came home and saw Marie cooking dinner.
"Marie how is Maka doing?" Stein asked, setting the plates on the table for dinner.
"She'll be fine I think now that Black Star is back and I think she'll be making new friends soon." Marie said, plating dinner on the plates then wiped her hands with a towel. Stein nodded and went up to the guest room and knocked on the door to see if Maka would answer. Maka slowly opened the door to see Stein."Maka dinner is ready and by the way your stomach is growling you must be hungry." Stein said, smiling while leading her down to the dining room. Maka gave him a small smile and followed him down and smelt a good home cooked meal she hadn't had in years and licked her lips.
"Good ahead Maka help yourself I made more than enough." said, smiling at Maka.
~Black Star's place~
"Black Star sweetie what's wrong?" Nygus asked her son wondering why he wasn't eating his dinner. Black Star mumbled something angrily and continued to play with his food. Nygus and Sid looked at each other worried about their son.
"Black Star does this have anything to do with Maka?" Sid asked; place a hand on his shoulder. Black star nodded while pushing his plate away not feeling hungry anymore.
"What happened?"
"WHAT HAPPEN? THAT FUCKING OLD MAN OF MAKA'S TRIED TO RAPE HER! THAT'S WHAT FUCKING HAPPEN AND I WASN'T THERE TO PROTECT HER!" Black Star yelled almost flipping the table while marching up the stairs going to his room. Black Star's parents were shocked on what just happened.
"Is Black Star going to be ok?" Tsubaki asked, looking up the stairs with concision in her eyes.
"He'll be ok, he just feels like he let Maka down." Sid said, sitting down to read the paper in the living room. Soul walked up the stairs and knocked on Black Star's door but never got an answer so he slowly opened the door to find Black Star lying on his bed staring at the ceiling with an unreadable face.
"Hey Black Star you ok?" Soul asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Yea sorry about before at dinner I wasn't acting like my god like self." Black Star said, sitting up to talk to Soul.
"Dude why does everyone call Maka a murder? I mean she doesn't even look like the murdering type." Soul said picking up the basketball and spinned it on his finger. Black Star sighed and looked out his window and looked up at the smiling blood drooling moon.
"Dude I can't go and tell you Maka's past without her promotion. Come on let's go play some one on one in back. " Black Star said, grabbing the ball from Soul while jumping out of bed. Soul smirk and nodded telling him a cool guy like him would win.
"Ha you beat your god that will never happen!" Black Star yelled walking down the stairs to the backyard.
"Well I see we are back to normal." Tsubaki said, joining them outside to play some basketball.
"Of course do you expect your god of a boyfriend to be any different?" Black Star said, smirking while wrapping his around Tsubaki's waist. Tsubaki blushed while shaking her head no with a smile.
"Well you haven't changed at all Black Star." A voice came from behind them.
"Yo Kid how you been? Have you missed your God?" Black Star asked his old time friend of his and Maka's.
"Sure Black Star, Hey I thought Maka would be with you, but I guess I was wrong." Kid said, looking around the backyard. Black Star shook his head no and told him she was at Stein's for a little while from what had happened to her.
"Kid this is Soul one of my friends and Tsubaki my girlfriend."
"Nice to meet you I'm Death the Kid. The girls behind me are Liz and Patty I meet the California and I decided to move back home. " Kid said, shaking their hands while pointing to the twins behind him.
"Nice to meet you guys." Liz and Patty said at the same time.
"Same here."
Kid and Black Star were on the back porch catching up on old times and told Kid what Maka had to him while they were away from Death City.
"What the hell?! Is she alright?" Kid asked.
"She's got a lot of bruises but I think she'll be ok as long as she gets some rest and doesn't get beat up anymore by that old man and those whores at the school." Black Star said, looking at the others play. Kid nodded his head and watched the others play remembering the good times.
"Hey remembered how we tried to teach Maka how to play basketball?" Kid asked, chuckling at the memory. Black Star busted out laughing remembering the same day as well then an idea popped into Black Star's head and ran to get the telephone.
"Wow Black Star where's the fire?" Sid asked, while chuckling seeing his son hyper and run to the phone. Black Star glared at his father because he knew he hated jokes when it came to fires and deaths.
~Stein/Maries house~
"Hello Stein resident may I ask whose calling?" Marie asked while answering the phone in the kitchen.
"Hiya it's your god Black Star. Can I talk to Maka please?"
"Oh sure hang on Black Star." Marie said, walking into the living room seeing Stein fix up her wounds since they came opened again.
"Maka it's for you." Marie said, trying to hand Maka the phone.
"If it's papa I don't want to talk to him." Maka said scooting away from the phone and closer to Stein.
"No its Black Star. He wants to talk to you." Marie said, watching her take the phone slowly.
Maka put the phone to her ear and took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"Hey Black Star." Maka whispered into the phone. Black star yelled into phone telling her finally someone answered their god making Maka give a small giggle.
"Maka I need you to come over to my place if you can? Your God has a surprise for you. HAHAHA" Black Star said, looking towards the backyard with a smile on his face.
"Um can I go over to Black star's for a little bit?"
"Sure thing Maka. But not too late you have school tomorrow." Marie said with a smile looking up from her book.
"I'll give you a ride there Maka." Stein said grabbing his car keys. Maka nodded and told Black Star she would be there soon.
Black Star hung up the phone and ran off to go tell Kid that Maka was coming over for a bit.
"Black Star there is one problem." Kid said, while pointing to the others.
"Maka already knows Soul and Tsubaki and she'll get to meet Liz and Patty too. So what's the problem?"
"Maka will only talk to us, you idiot. You know she's scared to death of people from always getting beat up." Kid said, with a sigh and shook his head back and forth. Black Star face palmed himself forgetting about that and sat down to figure this out.
"Black Star there's someone here to see you." Nygus yelled from the front door, allowing Maka to come in while she waited.
"Hey little sis. Glad you can come." Black Star said, giving her a brotherly hug. Maka gave him a small smile and returned the hug while following him into the backyard.
"Hey Maka long time no see." Kid said, turning around to see Maka come out the back door first. Maka ran over to Kid and gave a big hug happy to have her two best friends back while having a small smile on her face.
"Oooh Kid's got a girlfriend." Patty sang while pointing at Maka causing Maka to hide behind Kid.
"Patty she's not my girlfriend." Kid said, sighing at the hyper crazy girl. Liz walked up to Kid and Patty to calm her down.
"Sorry about my sister she's a little hyper sometimes." Liz apologized to Maka while sending her sister to play with Soul and Tsubaki.
"Liz this is Maka my best friend and sister. Maka this is Liz she's a friend of mine from California. She and her sister Patty are moving in Death mansion with me." Kid said, trying to get Maka to come out from behind him.
"Nice to meet you Maka, I've heard so much about you." Liz said, holding her hand out for Maka to shack.
"Nice to meet you too Liz." Maka whispered, shacking her hand then quickly drowning her hand away.
"All right then let's plays some basketball. Im captain since Im a god of a captain." Black Star yelled running over to the courts. Maka sat on the side lines watching the others play trying to have some fun, but she's kept herself locked up for so long she had forgotten how to have fun or laugh or smile.
"It's good to have him back isn't Maka?" Nygus said, coming out with some drinks and sat down on the back porch seat to watch them play. Maka nodded her head trying to remember the good old days.
"You know Black Star told us what happened at your house. Are you ok?" Nygus asked. Nygus had always thought of Maka as a daughter since she came into Black Star's life and theirs.
"Nygus I can't take it anymore with the beating and getting bullied, there are days I wish I had died in that fire to along with mama, and then I wouldn't be living a life that is like hell and I wouldn't be a burden to everyone." Maka said tears pouring out of eyes making Nygus pull her into a hug while she cried.
