Maka woke up to a very awkward position. She was snuggling up to Kid with her wings surrounding them, Kid's wings curved behind his back. Maka blushed and scrambled up. Her foot stepped off the large branch they were on. She screamed and fell down. Kid rubbed his eyes and woke up to see Maka on the ground. Her wings were spread out with white feathers on the ground and she was rubbing her head in pain. "Uh, Maka, you're on the ground." Kid pointed out the obvious. "No shit Sherlock!" Maka said crossly. Kid arched his wings up while stretching. "Well, we have three more kishin souls to collect so let's get on it." Kid yawned before jumping to help her.
Maka slapped his hand away. "I can get up by myself thank you." She snapped. "Why did I have to fall in love with your attitude?" Kid muttered while turning away. Maka blushed with her eyes widened in shock. Her heart was fluttering and she felt all giddy. No Maka! You can't fall in love with him! He's your enemy! She screamed to herself. Maka got up and dusted herself off. Kid was staring off into space, his eyes unfocused. "Uh Kid, are you alright?" Maka asked. Kid shook his head gently then smirked to her. "I thought you weren't supposed to care about me?" He asked, amused. Maka bushed in embarrassment and hit on the shoulder.
"Stop playing around and let's go find a kishin." She said flustered. More white feathers littered the ground. "Let's go then. Our next stop is a kishin downtown!" Kid called as he flew up. Maka saw one black feather land on top of a white feather in a cross sign. That meant God's blessing. Maka shook her head. Stop with this nonsense and follow him. What is wrong with me? Maka thought irritably. You love him and you refuse to admit because of what you think he did to your mother... Her subconscious answered. Maka was shocked and stopped flying. Kid noticed and stopped too. "What's wrong with you today? You want to get this over with? Then let's go!" Kid flew back to her and grabbed her hand and continued flying. Maka blushed but didn't make any movement to stop it. Ugh, this is bad. Not only am I blushing so much it's not good for my health, but I'm falling for the enemy! He's my enemy! He's everybody's damn enemy! But... Why am I falling for him? Maka thoughts went to horror when she realized what she thought. Shut UP! She stopped thinking and got a good look at Kid.
He was wearing his usual attire, a black dress shirt, pants, and shoes. His black wing feathers were flowing in the wind and so was his hair. She took note on his three white stripes on his hair. She had to ask God about why he had three white stripes in his hair instead of only jet black hair. "Alright! We're here!" Kid exclaimed proudly. "Why are you so proud?" Maka asked, pretending to be annoyed. She actually found the gleam in his eyes cute. "I thought I wouldn't be able to find it." Kid admitted.
They stayed afloat for a while. "Are you sure he's actually here?" Maka asked tiredly. "Yes, I'm sure. Look closely." Kid had his eyes narrowed at something. Maka stood next to him (well, floated) and followed his gaze. He was glaring at a teenage girl that was hiding in an alleyway. "How do you know it's that girl?" She asked. "I have the ability to sense souls so I know when they go down to hell." Kid shrugged. The girl transformed into some crow dancer person. It was a human crow with ballet shoes. Kid widened his eyes. "Oh no..." Kid whispered. "What's wrong? We have to go defeat her immediately!" Maka exclaimed. "That's a crow. One of death's helpers... If I defeat her, I'd be committing a sin." Kid answered in horror. "This is a kishin! She's not like the other crows! I can't defeat all by myself!" Maka yelled to him. Luckily, angels can't be seen or heard in the real world so the people down below ignored them.
Maka flew down and tackled the kishin. She squawked in surprise and attempted to kick her. Maka flew back and stood before the kishin. She did some ballet moves before her hands/wings turned razor sharp. The kishin swiped at Maka and she fell backwards. She had three claw marks across her right cheek and her eyes were shut in pain. "Kid! Help me dammit!" She yelled as she dodged another one of the kishin's swipes. Kid bowed his head. "I'm sorry, I can't do it." He murmured in defeat. Maka widened her eyes before a sharp kick to her stomach sent her against a brick wall. Maka felt dizzy, but refused to let the blackness take her vision. If Kid wouldn't do it, she would.
The crow did move more dance moves before it's talons got long and sharp. Maka just submitted herself to defeat. She couldn't win. She felt long claw marks across her stomach before she slid unconscious.
Kid watched in horror where he stood above Maka. She was unconscious and the crow was advancing to her kill her. Kid was torn between helping her, or his loyalty. "Shit." Kid muttered as he dropped himself in front of Maka. He held his arms out protectively. "I won't let you kill her." He growled. The crow widened her eyes and stared at Kid's wings. "Why don't you join me fellow dark angel?" She asked, her smirk evident in her voice. Kid didn't answer, he just swiped his legs across her stick-like legs. She collapsed, of course. "Sorry, but I work for God, not the Devil." Kid growled before sticking his hands in her chest to take the kishin soul.
Her eyes squinted a little bit. "Of course, how could I forget?" She murmured before falling to ash. Kid held the red soul in his hands. He looked back to Maka before sticking the soul down under the ground. It fell under and Kid wiped his hands. "That's done. Ow.." Kid looked to his arms and hands. Her feathers were still thorn sharp and now he was bleeding heavily from the deep cuts. They stretched form his finger-tips, to a little above his elbow.
"I have to take you back to our tree." Kid muttered to no one in particularly. He picked up Maka and flew to the tree they stayed in.
