Just a warning, Black Star does a bit of swearing in this chapter. And just so you know the ending is sort of a modified version of Ouran Host Club, to me it was just an awesome moment and it really fit in here.
After Kid's little meltdown they were finally on their way. Kid of course drove the horses, two perfect black ones that trotted side by side, in his world it was perfect symmetry. Liz and Patty sat with him on the driver's seat of the carriage, it was a tight squeeze, but none of them minded very much. Inside the carriage Black Star had fallen asleep with his head on the window and was now drooling.
"He does know he'll catch a cold like that right?" Maka asked. Tsubaki giggled, "And then he'll yell at us and say God's don't get sick."
"Do you like him?" Maka asked out of the blue, Tsubaki's eyes widened at the question, and she checked to make sure he was still asleep.
"Yes, I really do." she said blushing a bright shade of red."But what do you see in him?" Maka asked.
"ell even though he's not a knight, I can sense he's a hero, and he's got a big heart, plus he always knows how to make me laugh, he's just perfect for me.""You're lucky Tsubaki, I wish love were that easy for me." said Maka with a sigh.
"Don't worry princess." said Tsubaki, "When you find true love, you'll know it."
The carriage jerked to a stop, sending Black Star to the floor. "What are we there already?" he asked wiping the drool off his face.
"No we couldn't be." said Maka, they seemed to be in the middle of nowhere."Who are you? Do you realize this is the Princess of." "Does it look like we care" came a gruff voice, and suddenly there was a loud scuffling noise.
"What's going on?" asked Maka, frightened, she found herself edging close to Black Star, if anything went wrong she knew he'd fight.
"Don't worry princess, your guards will fight them off." said Tsubaki confidently, however that faded as the door was thrown open. Six large men all wielding swords were standing outside, their leader had opened the door. Three of them were holding Liz, Kid, and Patty, all of whom had their helmets off and were struggling.
"Get out." snarled the leader.
Tsubaki held Maka close to her and stepped out, followed by Black Star.
"Royalty huh?" asked the leader, grabbing Maka's hair and yanking her over toward him.
"Princess!" screamed Tsubaki. Maka shuddered and closed her eyes.
"Bastard!" came Black Star's voice, and suddenly the leader found himself punched square in the face by Black Star. The other robbers stood shocked, giving Kid, Liz, and Patty a perfect moment to break free. Tsubaki ran to Maka's side as the other four created a wall around them. Liz, Patty, and Kid all wielded swords, Black Star only had his hands.
The robber glared, and the they began to fight. Even though Patty was annoying, she was pretty fast and quiet annoying, not cutting with her sword, but slamming it into the shins and heads of the robbers. Liz meant business and got in some good hits, but the best swordsman of them was Kid, dealing huge hits and actually killing one of the robbers. They heard a loud snap and turned to see Black Star kicking a man hard in the back.
"Not bad." said Kid with a smile."You're pretty good yourself Zebra." Black Star said, making Kid cringe.
"Black Star you're bleeding!" cried Tsubaki.
Black Star massaged his shoulder, a small trickle of blood was coming from it. "It's nothing." he said with a grin.
Kid smirked, "Then shall we be on our way?"Soon everyone was in the carriage Kid was actually letting Patty drive, the horses were going at a much quicker pace than usual.
"Hey slow it down a little!" Black Star yelled. "Patty pull on the reins stop letting the slack!" yelled Kid.
"But they wanna run Kid!" whined Patty. "Patty just give them to me!" said Kid angrily."Nu uh." said Patty.
"No Patty don't!" Kid yelled desperately, they guessed her being Patty she'd pulled the reins away from Kid, turning the horses. Suddenly the carriage toppled onto it's side. There was a loud whinnying of the horses, and a frightened scream of, "KID!" followed.
