Kid's POV

"MAKA!"

Caiyt, she nearly killed Maka. I can still sense Maka's soul, but it's fading. I tried everything, I charged at her, threw knifes at her but nothing worked. The black dragon swooped down once again and grabbed Maka using its mouth. It flew up and circled above me and Caiyt, Maka still unconscious in its mouth. Its teeth almost piercing through her skin. I glared at Caiyt, "What do you want with her?!"

She laughed.

"I can't possibly tell you my plot. I'm not stupid you know."

"YOU BITCH!"

"You two sure swear a lot. But I'm very lucky today…"

Lucky?

"I was only planning on getting Maka Albarn, but I didn't expect to find a Shinigami~"

She laughed again. It sounded even more sinister than before. "Since I found you at your most vulnerable state, it'll be a very wise choice to… you know…. KILL YOU."

"KID!" It was Patty and Liz.

Liz turned into a gun and Patty shot the witch in the eye, causing her to scream. She had a really high pitched voice; her scream hurt my ears a little bit. Liz and Patty ran up to me and both turned into guns. I shot the witch multiple times in the head. But it's not working.

"YAHHOOOO! THE GREAT BLACK*STAR HAS ARRIVED!"

He aimed for the dragon that's holding onto Maka. He slashed it into half; blood was all over the place. Maka fell out of its mouth. She's falling down from 100 feet from the ground, not slowing down. I knew if I don't catch her, she'll die. But I was still too busy fighting Caiyt.

"Black*Star, catch her!"

He jumped up and caught her in the air. "Black*Star, place her somewhere safe!" Tsubaki said.

"Got it!"'

Black*Star placed her somewhere. I didn't know. He came back running in full speed and charged at the witch. He stabbed her in her abdomen. She coughed out blood, lots of it. She grabbed Black*Star by the neck and threw him at me. "Ugghh, you're lucky today shinigami." She snorted. "That Maka girl too."

She turned into a black dragon and disappeared. Black*Star moaned, "I hid Maka under that car over there." He pointed at a black car.

"Dude, that is NOT a very safe place to hide someone injured!" I punched him in the face.

He moaned again.

I sighed.

I walked towards the car and checked under the car. She is there. I glared at Black*Star and shook my head in disbelief. I pulled her out of there.

Maka's POV

I heard voices. So many of them.

All of them mocking me, teasing me and making my blood boil.

"Soul cannot be your weapon anymore."

"He found a new meister…"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled at them. I didn't know where I was, I'm hearing voices and I can't see a thing.

"…. Not your weapon anymore…"

"SHUT IT!"

"It's the truth….."

"Yesss… it's the truth…."

"IT'S NOT! IT'S NOT!" I covered my ears. "STOP SAYING ALL OF THOSE THINGS!"

"We cannot….."

"Yesss…. We cannot….."

I closed my eyes and screamed, "WHY NOT!? WHY ARE YOU SAYING ALL OF THESE THINGS!?"

"We cannot tell you for you will find out sooner or later…"
"Yesss….. Yesss you will…."

I kept my eyes closed and ears covered. The voices are still saying the same things. Non-stop.

Silence

I opened my eyes slowly and uncovered my ears. I found myself kneeling down on top of a crescent moon shaped rock. The sky was black, the trees were black spades covered in blood. There was a red path and a river beside it. I looked up to see the moon, but it was different. Instead of that creepy crescent-blood drooling moon, this one was a blood red full moon. It was really foggy. This place has an eerie feeling to it. I stood up and climbed down the rock. I followed the red path, lanterns barely illuminating the dark night. After minutes of walking and walking and walking, I ended up in a field. In the centre of the field, I saw a gravestone and a small chest in front of it. I walked towards it, the engraving on the gravestone was covered in soil and only few letters were showing. I looked around, just to make sure no one or nothing is watching me. I kneeled down and rubbed the dirt off the engravings.

KAMI ALBARN

Birthdate- unknown

Date of death- 6th June

I fell backwards, eyes wide in disbelief. My eyes turned white. This…. Is my mother's grave! I was trembling non-stop, tears rolling down my cheeks. "No….. NO! NO!" I cried and cried and cried. I couldn't stop crying. I cried to the point that my eyes were really red. I stared at the small chest in front of my mother's grave, and then picked it up. I opened it and found a note, a stack of cards tied with a small and thin rope and a choker with silver 'M' on it. I read the note. It said:

Dear Maka,

Your mother told me to give this to you but I didn't have the courage to do so. But I knew that you're going to find it sooner or later. My name is Kai, I will be your familiar from now on but you will have to find me. I do not live far from Death City, only a few kilometres away. Back to the topic, you will have to wear this choker and you must not take it off, take the stack of cards and keep it. Do not lose any of these things for they are very important and valuable. That is all I can write.

Your familiar-to-be,

Kai

I stood there staring at the note. I took the stack of cards and wore the choker. I turned around and saw a fairy and she holding a black flower. She was beautiful, but then she crushed the flower then opened up her whole head and ate the crushed flower. She was still hungry. I knew because she turned her head 180°C and looked at me. I knew that she was going to kill and eat me. But I was faster so then I ran for it. But then she ran and she ran and she ran after me. She was getting bigger every second with huge and scary teeth. She destroyed everything in her path. I have to wake up! I have to! I don't want to die in my sleep! But then she was gone, along with everything. I can't see anything again. Then I woke up. I saw Kid, Soul, Black*Star, Tsubaki and the sisters looking down at me.

"Maka, you're awake! Thank goodness!" Tsubaki hugged me tightly.

"What happened?" I asked.

"After you got knocked out, Black*Star managed to kill the dragon and we managed to…. How do you say it? Chase the witch away?" Kid said with a smirk. "It was crazy! There was blood everywhere!" Black*Star yelled.

"Oh…" I looked at Soul. He was keeping his head down, not saying anything. "What's up Soul? Are you feeling okay?" I asked.

"I'm sorry…"

I stared at him. "What for?"

"It's my fault you're hurt. If I had been there earlier…"

"I ruffled his hair. You're injured and it's definitely not your fault."

He nodded his head. I saw Patty whispering to Liz. They both smiled. "Hey guys, let's get some food for dinner." Patty said. "Yea, Maka what do you want for dinner?"

"Uhhh….. Anything." I smiled.

"Alright then. C'mon guys. Kid, you stay here and take of Maka, kays?" Liz said.

He nodded. Everyone but Kid left.

We didn't talk for a while, it was pretty awkward and I found myself blushing. He was blushing too.

"So Kid, how long was I unconscious?"

"An hour or so. You feeling alright?"

"Yea…."

Awkward silence

"Umm….. Kid, I have something to tell you."

He just stared at me.

"Try not to freak out but, I really like you."

I blushed. I looked at him. He was staring at me, eyes wide and extremely red face.

"Well….. To tell you the truth….. I…. I like you too."

He leaned forward and kissed my cheek. "Please go out with me."

I stared in disbelief, my eyes then turning white to pink. He stared at me, shocked. "You're eyes."

"Crap. Sorry, Hahaha. Pretty weird huh?"

"What's going on with your eyes?"

I sighed. "Ask Lord Death. He'll explain it to you but for now… YES I will definitely go out with you."

He smiled and hugged me. I hugged him back. Suddenly Patty barged in the room with bags of food. "We're back!" I pushed Kid away from me and he fell back. I whispered to him, "Sorry reflects." He smiled. Liz came in with the others and smiled at me, "So what did you and Kid do while we were gone?" She raised her eyebrows. I gently punched her. "Shut up, we didn't do anything." She smirked, "Sure~"

Patty took a huge bite of a burger, "Probably confessions so right now…. *chew* *chew*… They're probably dating, am I right?"

Kid blushed and I tried not to. Black*Star smirked, "Bingo."

I blushed then I finally realised I was at the infirmary. Kid stood up and grabbed a can of soda, "Yea…. That's true and so what if we're dating?" Soul smiled, "So you two are dating?" Kid blushed. I threw a book at Soul. "Stop it! You're embarrassing him!"

We ate our meal in awkward silence. It lasted for 10 seconds until the boys started talking to each other and I guess Soul and Black*Star were messing with Kid. He was blushing most of the times. came in the room and smiled, "Maka, your apartment will be fully repaired in 5 days. So for now you and Soul will be staying in Kid's house. Is that fine with both of you?" She looked at me and Soul. We both nodded. "Oh and I found this in front of the door of your apartment." She handed me a box. It said, 'To- Maka. Only open the box if you're alone.' I placed it under the bed. clapped her hands and said, "Alright! It's time for you kids to head home! Soul, you will be staying at Kid's house and Maka, you'll be released tomorrow afternoon. Now out you go!" She pushed the rest out of the infirmary. Before she closed the door and turned off the light, she turned back and wished me goodnight. She turned off the lights and closed the door behind her. I looked around and took the box out from under the bed. I opened it slowly. It revealed the same chest I found in my dream. I placed my hand around my neck. I'm not wearing the choker. I opened the chest and found a note, a stack of cards tied with a small rope and a choker. I read the note; it was the same one I saw in my dream. The stack of cards and the choker was the same too. I wore the choker and got dressed in my normal clothes. I grabbed the stack of cards and note and placed them in my pocket. I opened the window and snuck out of the infirmary. I ran and ran until I'm out of Death City. After 2 hours, I found myself standing in front of a small house. It looked pretty old. I'm pretty sure that this is where Kai lives. I knocked on the door. "Come in, Maka," said a low and soft voice. I opened the door slowly and there he was my familiar. A black cat with blues eyes smiling at me.
