Author's Note: Hey everybody! It's been awhile. Sorry that it took so long. The truth is that this chapter has been finished for about a year. The reason it took so long to post was that I was having a friend look over it for me, but she kinda' got lazy with it. That and we're both in college so we're busy with our own classes and personal lives. Anyways, I would like to thank everyone who has responded in anyway to this story. It really makes me happy. I have been working a little on the next chapter and I have physics to worry about so bare with me. Here's the new chapter.

Chapter 3 Shinigami's First Kiss part 2

It was 12 o'clock and Maka was nowhere to be found in Shibusen. The girls looked for her everywhere. They looked in the library, the cafeteria, the bathroom, the school balcony, the school hot spring, and Crona's room. The girls were stumped.

"Where can she be?" Jackie asked.

"Maybe she went back home," Crona said.

"I don't think she did. All of her stuff is still here," Kim stated.

"I wonder…" Tsubaki said. The other three girls looked in her direction.

"What do you wonder Tsubaki?" Crona asked.

"I wonder if Maka could be at the training forest. That's the only place where we haven't looked yet," Tsubaki replied.

"You're a genius Tsubaki, let's go," Kim said as she took off. Jackie, Crona, and Tsubaki took off after her.

Twenty minutes later, the foursome was deep in the lush forest walking.

"Maka," Kim and Jackie called.

"Maka," Crona called out quietly. Tsubaki stopped walking. She heard a faint sound in the distance.

"Tsubaki, do you hear something?" Crona said.

"Yeah, I think I hear it in this direction," she replied as pointed to the left.

The girls walked in the direction that Tsubaki pointed. As they closer the sound became distinguishable. It was the sound of someone crying. The girls walked through some bushes and arrived in a cleared out area. At a tree furthest away from them was Maka, who was sitting on the ground crying.

Tsubaki, Crona, Kim, and Jackie approached her.

"Maka," Crona called out. Maka lifted her tear stained face up.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked.

"We're here to see you're okay," Kim said.

"No, I'm not okay. Everyone is saying things about me and it hurts," Maka said as started crying again. Crona and Tsubaki sat down next her. Tsubaki gently patted Maka's back.

"Don't listen to what those idiots say Maka. You are ten times better than they are," Kim said as she and Jackie sat down in front of her. Maka lifted up her head.

"They just jealous that you defeated Arachne and captured a witch's soul. No offense Kim!" Jackie said.

"None taken," Kim said.

"You're a good witch Kim, so that doesn't apply to you," Tsubaki stated.

"I guess you're right," Kim said. The girls started laughing. Maka laughed a bit but stopped. She looked at the ground. Crona noticed Maka looking at the ground.

"What's wrong Maka?" Crona asked. The others three girls stopped laughing and looked at her. Maka just continued to look at the ground.

"There's more to it than just the rumors isn't it?" Jackie asked. Maka remained silent.

"What else is bothering you?" Kim asked. Maka looked up.

"It's just that it was my first," Maka replied.

"Your first what?" Tsubaki asked. Maka face turned slightly red.

"My first kiss," Maka answered.

"Was the kiss bad Maka?" Crona asked.

"No, but…" Maka saying but was interrupted by Tsubaki.

"Just think of it this way, its not just you who lost their first kiss Maka," Tsubaki said. Maka looked at her confused.

"Oh, come on Maka. I really doubt Kid has kissed anyone!" Kim stated.

"Kid may be good looking, but if it wasn't for that "disorder" of his he would have a girlfriend already," Jackie added. Maka then looked reassured. Tsubaki then got up and dusted herself off.

"Where are you going Tsubaki?" Crona asked. Maka, Kim, and Jackie looked in her direction.

"I figured I go get us lunch, since it's that time. It's a beautiful day. I thought that we could enjoy it out here," Tsubaki replied.

"Did someone say food?" Ragnarok asked as he appeared out of Crona.

"You're not getting any because you caused trouble for Maka!" Kim said.

"What?!" he shouted.

"It's okay. He can have someone," Maka said.

"You're not so bad ugly girl," Ragnarok stated. Maka was twitching.

"I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that last part," Maka said.

"Won't you get caught?" Crona asked.

"I'm the ninja weapon so I won't get caught," Tsubaki said as she disappeared.

Ten minutes later Tsubaki was back with food. The girls and Ragnarok were sitting in a circle eating.

"Maka, there is something that I want asked you," Kim said.

"What would that be?" Maka asked as she took a sip of her drink.

"What was it like to kiss Death?" Kim asked. Maka quickly turned her head and spit out her drink.

"Kim?!" Maka shouted.

"What? I'm not the only one who wants to know," she said. Maka looked from Kim to the other girls and Ragnarok who were looking back at her intently. A blush appeared on her face.

"Well," Kim said.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you!" Maka shouted. Kim, Jackie, Tsubaki, and Crona leaned in closer to Maka. "It was a little cold, but felt soft. I can't really tell you anymore because it didn't last long," Maka said as she brought her fingers to her lips.

"You'll just have to make it last longer next time," Jackie said.

"Jackie?!" Maka shouted as she brought her fingers down.

"Just kidding!" Jackie said laughing slightly. Then others girls joined in on her laughter. Ragnarok just continued to eat while they were laughing.

After they finished eating the girls talked until mid afternoon.

Back in Shibusen the girls were walking back to the classroom.

"I can't believe we missed an entire day of school," Tsubaki said.

"Sorry guys," Maka said.

"It's a better that dissecting ducks in Professor Stein's class," Jackie said.

"It was worth it so don't apologize Maka," Kim said. The girls arrived at the door to their classroom.

Maka opened the door and walked in with the other girls in tow. There were only a few people left in the room. The people were from their group. Kilik looked over at the door to see who come in and saw the girls.

"Maka!" Kilik called out causing the other guys turn. Soul and the guys left

their seats and approached the girls.

"Are you feeling better Maka?" Harvar asked.

"Yeah! I'm better now," Maka replied. Kim smelled something weird in the classroom.

"Crying and running away is so un cool," Soul said.

"Well sorry for being un cool!" Maka retorted.

"Why does it smell like gunpowder in here?" Kim asked. The other girls soon smelt the gunpowder.

"It's because of that over there," Ox replied pointing to the way. Maka and the other girls looked over in the direction that he was pointing in. On the wall was bullet outlines of two people.

"What happened? Tsubaki asked.

"It was awesome Tsubaki!" Blackstar said excitedly while pumping up his fist.

"It happened after you guys left and when Liz and Patti came back from the infirmary," Ox explained.

Earlier back in the crescent moon classroom all was quiet. Suddenly, gunshots ranged out of the room. The two guys known as Davis and Will were shaking in fear against the wall. A menacing look Liz approached them with Patti in her gun form in her hands.

"Why are you getting mad at us?" Davis asked.

"Yeah! It was Maka who hit Kid not us!" Will added. Liz brought Patti up and fire at the boys. The boys let out a girly scream.

"Who were the two idiots who made Maka hit Kid?!" Liz shouted and fire more shots. The boys screamed again. "Let me tell you something. If you dumbasses do anything else to Kid and Maka I swear by Shinigami that we'll…"Liz was saying as Patti's face appeared on her gun.

"We'll fuck you up!" Patti said menacingly. Liz shot at the boys again, but this time she shots around them. Davis and Will tensed up against the wall as she shot at them. Liz stopped shooting.

"Understood?" Liz asked.

"Yes ma'am!" the boys said, voices cracking. Liz turned away and headed for the door. Patti transformed back to her original self and followed her sister out of the room. Davis and Will slide down the wall onto the floor. The students in the room were shocked, but quiet fearing that if they say anything Liz and Patti would come back.

"And that's what happened," Ox said.

"Like I said. It was awesome!" Blackstar stated again.

"I think Davis and Will pissed in their pants after that," Kilik added. Kim got in front of Maka.

"See Maka we got your back," Kim said. Maka looked surprised at Kim then looked at everyone else. They had smiles on their faces. Maka closed her eyes and smiled.

"Thank you everyone. By the way, is Kid still in the infirmary?" she asked.

"The last time I checked he was still there," Ox answered. Maka turned around and headed for the door.

"Where are you going Maka?" Crona asked.

"I got to go apologize to Kid, Liz, and Patty," she replied as she ran out of the door.

Ten minutes later, Maka stood outside of the infirmary. Just as Maka was about to open someone opened it from the inside. It was Nygus.

"Maka? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I'm here to see Kid," Maka replied.

"You're not going to hit again him are you?" Nygus asked. Maka's face turned a little red from embarrassment.

"No," Maka answered.

"Alright, come on in. I'll be back in a little while," Nygus said as she walked past Maka. Maka walked in and peered around the cover. She saw not only was Kid doing fine, but he was reorganizing the medicine cabinet again. Liz was sitting in a chair looking bored out of her mind. Patti was sitting at another desk making a giraffe out of tongue depressors.

"Kid can we please go home now?" Liz asked.

"In a minute! I'm almost done," he said.

"You said that an hour ago!" Liz whined. Maka giggled snapping Kid, Liz, and Patti out of whatever they were doing. Maka stopped giggling and noticed that the trio was looking at her. Maka cleared her throat and walked around.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I'm doing fine," Kid replied.

"Is that so?" Maka asked.

"Yeah!" Kid answered. Kid and Maka just stood there in silence. Liz and Patti watched the pair from distance.

"Listen Kid I'm…" Maka was saying but stopped.

Maka turned away and started playing with one of her pigtails. Kid watched as Maka was fidgeting. For some unknown reason Maka acting nervous was cute to him. A small smile grew on Kid's face. Liz noticed her meister's facial expression. Maka dropped the pigtail and faced Kid.

"Kid, I'm sorry about hitting you. I got really upset and…" Maka was saying but interrupted by Kid.

"It's okay I understand and I accept your apology," Kid said. Maka felt herself calm down. She turned to Liz and Patti.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Maka said as she bowed.

"Hey, there's no need for you to bow. It was an accident," Liz said. Maka stopped bowing.

"Also, thank you for sticking up for me," Maka asked.

"Oh you heard about that?" Liz asked.

"Heard about what?" Kid asked.

"After we dropped you off here me and Patti went back to class and showed Davis and Will a little thing or two," Liz answered.

"Hey, how about we go home together?" Maka asked.

"Yeah, that would be good," Kid said. Liz jumped out of the seat.

"Home? Finally!" Liz said happily.

"You didn't have to stay," Kid said. Liz walked beside Kid and started poking him on the cheek.

"You know we can't leave you behind. There's no telling what trouble you would get into if we weren't with you," she said as she continued poking Kid's cheek.

"I would not get into trouble and will you stop doing that!" Kid said slightly irritated as he slapped away Liz's hand. Maka and Patti started laughing followed by Kid and Liz. Their laughter was cut short by the intercom coming on again.

"MAKAAA!" Spirit screamed over the intercom.

After the intercom went off Kid, Liz and Patti looked at Maka. She walked over to a bookshelf. Maka grabbed the biggest book off of the shelf and put something back up in its place.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow," Maka said as she took off running leaving the trio in the room.

"Maka's really strong," Patti stated.

"Yeah, she is. Well time to go home," Liz said.

"After I straighten up this bookshelf," Kid said. Liz face faulted.

"Oh come on Kid! I wanna' go home," Liz whined. Kid walked over to the shelf and stopped.

"What's wrong? Is another book missing or else?" Liz asked sarcastically.

"No, it's… already straightened…perfectly!" Kid answered. Liz and Patti went over to Kid and looked at the bookshelf. It the place of the book that Maka took was a double sided book divider with an even number of books on each side.

"Well, since Maka straightened it up, let's go home," Liz suggested as her and Patti walked out the door. Kid took one last look at the bookshelf and left the infirmary.

It was midnight at Gallows Mansion. The three occupants were fast asleep after that long day at school. In Liz's room, Liz was snoring away in her bed with a magazine on her stomach and an opened nail polish bottle on her nightstand. In Patti's room, she was surrounded by her stuff animals and she was laughing in her sleep. She was also muttering something similar to stupid giraffe, but you couldn't tell. In Kid's symmetrically balanced room he was smiling in his sleep. He was dreaming about the same thing he always dreamt about… symmetry. In Kid's dream world Kid was surrounded by symmetrical paintings, statues, structures, creatures, and trinkets. Kid walked around inspecting everything.

"This place is wonderful! There are no horrible asymmetrical things here. Everything's perfect. Nothing can make this place more perfect," he said. Kid was soon distracted by a colorful symmetrical sign. He began to read the sign.

"This way to the Goddess of symmetry," Kid read. His interest was suddenly peaked. "The Goddess of symmetry? I have to see her!" Kid said excitedly.

He then summoned his skateboard, Beelzebub and rode away in the direction the sign was pointing. The pathway leading to the goddess went on for a few minutes. The pathway stopped outside at a beautiful clearing with a symmetrical fountain and an even number of beautiful flowers. Kid noticed that behind the fountain was platform and there was girl on it. He got rid of Beelzebub and walked around the fountain towards the platform. Kid arrived at the platform but he couldn't see the girl's face due to the sunlight. All that he could make out was that the girl was wearing a white symmetrically patterned dress. The girl descended down the staircase. In a few seconds Kid could make out the face perfectly. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Maka?! What are you doing here?" Kid asked. Maka smiled at him.

"Silly Kid, I'm the Goddess of symmetry," she answered. With that answer Kid bolted out of his sleep. Kid looked forward.

"Why didn't I ever notice it before? Maka's… symmetrical!" Kid stated. That's how it all began.
