Blazerules34: Well, um, it's been awhile. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I am busy with school and stuff.

Guest: I can't update every two days. I have other stories though, and you can read them if you like. I just can't always update. Sorry if I sound mean…

Alright, to the story!

~Maka's POV~

I chuckled. "You missed me, huh? How… Interesting. "I said. Soul shrugged. "Feeling's aren't always the coolest, "He said. Ah. Sounds like the Soul I know. I eyed him. "What do you want? "I asked coldly.

"Me, I want to know what you plan to do. "He said casually. I narrowed my eyes at him. Nobody but my girls and I would be able to know what that statement meant. "You want to know what I plan on doing. I'm wondering the same thing about you. "I told him.

He returned my stare. "If we go to war, Maka, I can promise you that I won't be the one to kill you. "He said quietly. That was a threat. I raised my eyebrows at him. "I can't return that promise to you. When you… Unfriended me, I swore to myself that if it came to this, I would make you hurt the way I hurt. "I replied.

He nodded. "I understand. It… Hurt me too. More than you can imagine. But I did it for you. "He started to get up from his seat. "Watch you're back in the streets, Albarn. One day, soon, I will be there with a blade in my hand. "He walked to the other side of the room, where Kid and Black Star were waiting. "You just contradicted yourself! "I called after him.

Really, my head is swimming. He did contradict himself. He told me he wouldn't be the one to kill me in war, but to watch myself on the street. Oh. War. Gang war. But if it comes to that, I would rather be the one to hold the leverage. The bell rang, and the teacher began her lesson.

I wasn't listening. Gang wars, from what Mom used to tell me, are horrible. They can last for years, or a week. Innocent lives from both gangs and from the city are wasted. But, gang rivalries are what make us who we are. And what we are.

As I started to walk toward home, Kid appeared next to me. Neither of us said anything, until I was about to turn the corner to my house and I stopped. I didn't want anyone from Blood Rush to see my home. "What do you want? "I asked him, putting my poker face on.

"We'll talk at my place, this area is unsymmetrical. "Kid stated without turning to look at me. I was glad that I had my gun in my belt, and my knife strapped onto my wrist, able to appear with just a flick.

As I followed Kid to the fancier part of Death City, people watched us. I mean, obviously, I'm a pretty girl, but no one can see why I'd be with Kid of all people. No one except my girls knows my history. And I take pride with that.

Kid led me up the stairs to his mansion, letting me in first. A security guy came over to me, about to check for weapons, but Kid waved him off. He probably had his own weapons on him. I wouldn't blame him if he did.

He took me to a parlor, where, surprisingly, Soul and Black Star waited. "We've sent for Patty, Tsubaki, and Liz. "Kid said and gestured for me to sit o-in one of the plush chairs. "Kid and I'll go wait for em' out front. "Black Star said, glared at me, and rubbed his head. I smiled sweetly at him.

Soul eyed me with a look of appraisal. And then he snickered. "You should have seen all the glares he sent you all day. What'd you do to him? "He asked. "I Maka-chopped him. "I shrugged. Soul laughed again.

"Why am I here? "I asked, leaning forward eagerly.

"Why Maka, we're just going to have a nice little chat…"

Blazerules34: I'M SO SORRY! It's terrible, I know
