Chapter 4

The all stopped kicking, hitting or whatever they were doing and took a step back. "We will see you tomorrow" Laughed Soul, then they all turned and walked away

Maka lay beaten on the ground blood and broses everywhere breathing deeply like she just ran a marathon. Everyone was about to step out into the ally, but all the sudden they spotted two figures walk out magically of the ally wall linking arms.

One was beautiful and had long brown hair with a long white strapless dress that flowed nicely, the other figure was Spirit, but younger.

The two stopped in front of Maka, they stared at her in a discussed way. Then Maka looked up at them "Papa, M...Mama" she whimpered sadly and in much pain.

Everyone watching's mouths dropped no one has ever seen Maka's mother before.

"Oh my god, look at my pitiful useless daughter, Spirit can you believe we gave life to this thing" she chuckled with empathies own 'thing'

"No I can't she is nothing I mean even her weapon and friends think the same thing" laughed Spirit

"Well, that's why I left I couldn't look at the ugly face any longer, it made me sick with every look" then her mother kicked her in the gut while she was just lying there they both laughed and walked off, disappearing into the darkness.

Maka who felt like she would just fall apart struggled to sit up. When she finally sat up she leaned her back on the ally wall with a big exhale she tilted her head back staring at the sky, holding her right arm with the left.

Everyone looked around for any more people or things to go by then walked into the ally and towards Maka. As they walked towards her, she looked up to see them when she saw them coming she pulled her knees to her chest and looked at them sadly and terrified.

"What do you want normally you give me at least a day or two for most of my wounds to heal before coming back" she mentioned in a small voice

Everyone looked confused 'a few days before coming back' what is that she has been here for about a week and she's like this "Maka how long have you been here?" asked Kid

"I don't know about two years why are you asking?"

"Maka" Soul knelt down and put his hand on her shoulders, she cringed thinking he was going to hurt her "None of this is real it's all in your head"

She pushed his arms off of him "No, it's not all in my head if it were, why can I feel and see you hurting me, why can I hear you insulting me, why can I smell and even taste the blood and if it were in my head why would you betray me?" she cried out to him making him feel even more sad.

Then he stood up "Who else wants to give a shot at her?" he asked

"No, not guns the last time it took four days to heal" Maka cringed closer to the wall hiding her face.

"We shot you to?" yelled Soul upset

"Don't you remember, you used Liz and Tsubaki used Patty, while Kid and Black star laughed"

"I'll give it a try" said Tsubaki sadly walking forward

"Oh, no is Tsubaki" she looked even more frightened and looked like she was trying to push herself further into the wall

Black star felt guilty Tsubaki was the nicest person and would never hurt anyone else unless they were bad; he knew Tsubaki was breaking inside.

"Maka please listen to me this isn't real..." Tsubaki spoke as she knelt down to Maka

"NO, SHUT UP AND LISTEN" Tsubaki yelled, as she said it everyone's mouths dropped, no one has ever herd Tsubaki yell or swear.

"Maka you must listen please, thoughts things aren't us, this isn't real you and soul where in a fight you got injured trying to save your partner Soul. Please close your eyes remember Kid's stupid obsession with symmetry..."

"Hey!" he whined but was ignored

"Remember how Liz tries to put scene into him, remember the way Patty loves Giraffes, remember Black star and his me, me attitude that makes everyone laugh and how I try to control and apologise for him, remember Your partnership with Soul and how he cares for you and how he thinks everything he does is cool, please you must remember" she not trying to shake it into Maka

A tear ran down her face "I...I remember" she cried without lifting her head

"Now close your eyes, remember your fight none of the wounds are real, you only have one on your abdomen, remember how you fought that monster you won but got injured while saving Soul"

Maka closed her eyes tighter trying to remember everything trying to believe Tsubaki. Then when she reopened her eyes she was in the infirmary, as she looked around she noticed all her friends awakening and rubbing their heads, some turned and smiled at her, happy she was okay.

They all stood up as Mira walked over to them "Nice job, you pulled her out"

"It was mostly Tsubaki" Kid pointed

"Ya good job, you kind of scared me" Liz spoke

Tsubaki looked away from her friends looking a little sad "Tsubaki? Are you okay?" asked Black star concernedly

Tsubaki couldn't look at him, she was happy Maka was okay but she hated yelling, she hated scaring her friends. She forces a smile and turned to Black star finally "I'm fine really"

"You're not fine, look at me" he encouraged, she looked up, a tear ran down her face, Black star pulled her into a hug "Maka's okay now you helped her, no one cares how you did it"

Then they herd deadly screaming from Maka, Soul was about to run over to her to comfort her but Mira held him back "No she needs this, just watch"

Everyone watched their friend in pain as she flapped around like a fish screaming, but as they looked closer they noticed the gray on her neck was disappearing like it was retreating. Mira lifted Maka's shirt they saw the gray was all coming into the center of her body then as it came into the center were the monster first punched her; a bolt of lightning came out and disappeared into the ceiling. As that happened Maka stopped screaming and flailing and now breathed deeply. Everyone went to her side. She felt so much better.
