Again, I love you guys for the reviews. ^w^

As they left the Dwma, it began to rain, which was typical for days like this.

Days when you say goodbye to the ones you spent most of your days with.

Kid and Maka went home to prepare themselves for the funeral.

Maka stood in her new bedroom and tried on a black, lacey dress that caressed against her ankles, showing off her shiny black heels.

She stared at herself in the body length mirror in front of her bed for a while, eventually spacing out.

"Maka! Help!"

"Thiscan'tbehappening!Itcan't!"

"Yeah.Nobodykillsourfriendsandgetsawaywithit."

"I'll get you for this!"

Maka snapped out of it when she realized that she was crying and bit her lower lip to keep from sobbing too loud. She wiped them away with her gloved hands and walked away from the mirror, sniffling.

She went over to the dresser mirror instead and put her hair up in her usual pigtail hairstyle with black ribbons.

"I'm so sorry…" She kept mumbling the same thing over and over under her trembling breath as she continued to shed bitter tears, and looked away from her reflection again, ashamed with herself.

There was a sudden knock on her door that startled her.

"Come in." She tried to disguise the sadness in her voice as much as she could.

Kid stepped into the room in a black tux similar to his usual one except in place of the white buttons on the front were regular black buttons, and the white on his shoulders were non existent. In place of the skull tie was a red ribbon tied under the collar.

His eyes widened and he hurried over to Maka.

"Maka…" Concern filled his voice as he wrapped his arms around her in a gentle hug.

She wiped tears away from her eyes and stepped out of the hug.

"I'm gonna be fine…"

Kid shrugged and lowered his gaze to the ground.

"If you say so." He looked up at the clock that hung on the wall and turned his gaze back towards her.

"It's time to go, Maka." He held his hand out towards her, and she stared at it for a while before she took a firm hold of it.

It was surprisingly warm and soft, and she began to feel a little better.

Kid gave her a small, sad smile, and they walked out of Gallow's mansion.

Once outside, he summoned Beezlebub, and he took a step onto it, helping Maka up beside him.

As he took off into the air, Maka wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, their clothes instantly drenched.

Everything between them was silent all the way over to the cemetery, where their late friends were having their service and burial.

Kid and Maka landed quietly on the rich, moist dirt, and after stepping off, Kid summoned Beezlebub back up into his palm.

Chairs were neatly set in rows, and nearly every citizen took up one.

Kid was about to go and find them a seat, when Maka pulled him back towards her by the arm.

He stared at her in alarm.

She kept her eyes to the ground.

"I want to stand…" She mumbled softly.

Kid understood and nodded, looking towards the ground as well; both of them standing under the shade of a tree.

Lord Death, plain in his hood and mask, slowly hopped up in front of the chairs by about ten feet.

The expression on his mask was sorrow, and rain dripped down its white surface.

"Citizens of Death City… We gather to witness the aftermath of this most grim and unfortunate event. The deaths of our friends, students, meisters and weapons, as well as the most talented and cherished students in the Dwma… The funeral of Soul Evans, Black*Star, and Tsubaki."

Maka's lower lip began to quiver a little, and Kid gently slid his hand down and gripped her hand in his own, massaging it in small circles with his thumb.

People were already crying, and dabbing their wet eyes with tissues.

Everybody turned except for Kid and Maka to see Stein, Spirit, Marie, and the other Death Scythes and teachers carrying in three coffins, to set them down in front of Death.

Lowering his head, he opened the coffins one by one, and the teachers and Death Scythes took out umbrellas so the corpses didn't get wet.

"With all due respect, you may say your last words, and bless them on their journey to the afterlife."

One by one, people lined up to say goodbye, while most remained seated, not wanting to remember them that way.

Kid gave Maka a sideways glance and squeezed her hand.

"Do you want to say goodbye?" He whispered, his voice cracking at "bye".

Maka nodded slowly, and returned the squeeze to his hand.

"Together…" She spoke softly, tears beginning to stream down her cheeks.

The two stepped up to the coffins, still holding each other's hand; their heartbeats playing a rapid song in their chests.

They stopped in front of them, and gave each other a quick look at the other before peering downward.

Maka's breath caught in her throat, and she slapped her other hand to her mouth, the tears flowing more heavily, and unsteady sobs escaping her mouth.

"I'm so sorry…." She mumbled into her palm numerously.

Kid's eyes filled with tears as well and he bit his quivering lower lip, his head lowering.

"Maka…Stop blaming yourself for everything…" He whispered to her out of the corner of his mouth. He looked over at her, and it began to rain heavier. "It's not your fault."

She continued to sob and screwed her eyes shut.

"Yes it is…"

He furrowed his eyebrows and gripped her hand tighter to get her attention. She easily complied and opened up her eyes to look at him.

His expression softened and he raised her hand that he was holding up to his lips.

"It will never.Be your fault."

Maka's eyes widened and warmth flooded through her body from her hand, and went cold again when Kid lowered it from his lips.

He smiled slightly, and they walked back to their usual spots, waiting for everyone to stop saying goodbye, and for the caskets of their friends to be lowered into the dirt.

Time flew by quicker than Maka thought, and she blinked her emerald eyes to see the coffins being closed off to the world for the last time.

Kid kept his eyes closed as he leaned against the tree, his hand still in Maka's.

She lowered her gaze to their hands, and gave herself a moment to admire how they fit together so perfectly.

She smiled a little, despite the sadness inside, and looked back up to meet Kid's gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked away from him.

As the coffins were being lowered into the ground, and nobody was looking at the two of them, Kid gently moved Maka's face back to him, so he can continue to stare into her emerald eyes.

The coffins began to be buried by Lord Death himself, and everyone started weeping and sobbing.

Maka breathed heavily, and looked to the side just in time to see Lord Death finish burying their friends.

Kid lowered his hand from Maka's face, and coldness took over her again.

She became confused with the feelings she had inside, and looked back at her meister, trying to figure him out.

Kid stared at Lord Death as he began to speak again.

"And so concludes this funeral of our three loved students. They shall be missed forever."

Citizens stood up from their seats, and took out their own umbrellas, dispersing.

Kid let go of Maka's hand, and summoned Beezlebub, wiping his eyes on his sleeves.

Maka shivered and Kid bit his lower lip slightly. He unbuttoned his coat and slid out of it, handing it to Maka.

"This may be wet, but at least it will help a little."

Maka shook her head, pushing it away.

"I can't take it, you'll be cold."

Kid scoffed and pushed it back to her.

"Maka, I insist, it's pouring."

She sighed and took it from him, putting it on, instantly heating up again.

Kid smiled and stepped onto Beezlebub, holding his hand out to her politely.

"I'm a shinigami, remember…?"

Maka couldn't help but laugh a little, and wiped tears away from her eyes, gladly accepting Kid's hand.

He pulled her on in front of him, and wrapped his arms around her so she can remain warm, and took off into the air.

Maka smiled, feeling better than she was, and heated up; blushing.

"Thanks Kiddo-Kun…For making me smile today…"

He was about to say something back, when he realized that she fell asleep against him.

He shook his head and chuckled.

"Anything for you, Maka…" He whispered, resting his head atop hers.

Ha…This was one of the cutest and saddest chapters of this story I've ever typed. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! XD
