"Soul, Soul? Can you hear me?" Doctor Stein asked. Soul slowly bent down to pick up the phone.

"Are you sure, Doctor Stein?" He asked in a hushed voice.

"Yes, she's showing all the same symptoms you did."

Soul ran his fingers through his hair agitatedly. He let out a short groan. "Are you sure there's nothing you can do?"

"Soul, you know that we haven't found a reliable cure for this disease. She's going to live another six months at the very most. She's been suppressing this disease for a long time now. It's a marvel she hasn't gone completely crazy. Kind of fascinating…"

Soul sighed and rolled his eyes. Why did this have to happen to him? Why did Kid and Black Star just have to bring back a girl that just happened to have the same disease as him?

"Thanks for the update, Doctor," Soul said slowly, "When she wakes up, take her back to her house."

"Sure, Soul."

Soul hung up.

Black Star and Kid came into the room. Black Star, of course, yelled, "HEY SOUL! WAS THAT DOCTOR STEIN?"

"Black Star, just shut up." Kid and Soul said simultaneously. They looked at each other then back at Black Star.

"She has Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the disease that I have. Has had it for a while, actually. She's going to die in six months." Soul said with and air of finality.

"THAT'S THE SAME TIME YOU'RE GOING TO-"

"We're sorry Soul." Kid said while shooting a death glare to Black Star. "We didn't mean to-"

"It's okay Kid." Soul interrupted in a flat voice. "You didn't mean to." Soul then walk into his room and slammed the door shut. Leaving his friends standing open-mouthed in the hallway.

Soul slammed the door shut. And leaned against it, slowly sliding to the ground. 'Why did this have to happen to him?' He thought as he closed his eyes and leaned against the door. There was a knock. "What is it this time?" Soul asked in an extremely annoyed voice.

"Are you alright sir? Kid asked me to check on you." Albert the butler said while knocking on the door.

"I'm fine Albert." Soul said with a sigh. For some reason he was worried about the girl. He didn't want her to die. He stood up and walked to his desk. He pulled the phone from its charger and dialed Doctor Stein's number. Some picked up.

"Hello! This is Doctor Stein's office! I'm Marie! How can I help you!?" said an extremely cheerful voice.

"Umm…" Soul said in a very intelligent way (not), "Is Doctor Stein there?"

"Hold on a second!"

Doctor Stein's voice came over the phone, "Hello?" He said in a bored voice.

"This is Soul."

"Oh. What do you what?"

"Can you call me when Maka wakes up?"

"She already did. I was about to drive her home."

"Can you tell me her address?"

"Why, do you what to stalk her?"

"Just give it to me." Soul said. Now officially pissed off.

"Okayyyyyyy. If you swear you're not going to stalk her….."

"I'M NOT GOING TO STALK HER!" Soul yelled.

"15518 Emerald Street."

Soul hung up.

"What was that about stalking girls, sir?" Albert asked.

"Not you too Albert." Soul groaned.

Albert chuckled. "I'll leave you alone to gather your thoughts, sir." His footsteps echoed down the hallway.

Soul scowled. Why was the whole world turning against him? He raised his left arm and looked at his black stainless steel watch. It was 5:30. Almost time for dinner. He set an alarm for 6:00 and promptly fell asleep.
