Maka thought long and hard and refused to answer for a few moments. Soul stood by her, a smug look on his face. Knowing she had to she answered, "F-Fine... But this doesn't mean I'm going to stop seeing Stein..."

"Of course not, but our relationship will be official. I'll see you back home later tonight... Heh.."

Her face turned a bright red as he walked off. Great, all she needed, a fake relationship with her weapon. But, her papa could never find out she was technically with his own Meister. It just wasn't right.

She headed down the hall towards her second class of the day . As she stepped into the classroom all eyes were on her. She hated being the center of attention. Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty nearly attacked her with excitement and were soon followed by Kid, Black*Star, and Soul. Tsubaki nearly screamed, "I knew it! You too are perfect for each other! "

Maka blushed dark in embarrassment and choked out, "I-I guess so..."

Soul chimed in, placing a kiss on her cheek, "Lighten up, babe. "

He pulled her waist close to his nearly grinding against her body. Maka attempted to pull away but couldn't. He kissed her deeply. Tsubaki giggled out , "Geez get a room-" but grew silent as Stein walked through the door. Maka finally pulled away and noticed.

...

Stein's POV:

I had a strange feeling something was wrong. It made me want to puke. Maybe it was my Maka. It had to be. I had to find her just to make sure she was in no harm. I burst out the door scanning my eyes on each door's number to find 204 where her next class had been.

"200, 201, 202, 203... Ah! 204' I whispered to my self, carefully prying the door open and stepping inside. There she was , safe and sound. But, in the arms of another man. My heart broke into a million pieces right then and there. I knew it was too good to be true. Of course she loved Soul. It all made sense. I stood there speechless, trying my best to avoid any emotion from showing on my face. Maka pulled away from his grasp finally noticing I had seen. I ran out the door back toward my office, I couldn't handle this heartbreak.

I nearly forgot I had to meet with Lord Death. I shook away all emotion and searched for the nearest mirror. I finally found out, blowing my ice cold break onto the glass. With my finger I wrote , "42-42-564"

Without any questioning Lord Death screamed , "You're late! Get over here!"

"Just wanted to apologize for being so late... Have a lot on my mind recently... I'll head over now"

"Don't tell me you're going mad again..."

"Not at all.."

"Just get here."

I hung up running through the halls heading towards his quarters. I entered his quarters noticing Spirit had already been here. I sighed and explained myself , "Deeply sorry to the two of you..."

"Doesn't matter, alright you two must be wondering why I called you here. I have a very important task for the two of you. Medusa is up to no good again. She's hiding outside the skirts of the city in a large cave. However, the madness levels from her location are at an unusually high percentage. I fear she may have a Kishin in her possession."

"Another Kishin?"

"I'm afraid so. Get on it as soon as possible. Thank you"

With no classes left to teach for the day I planned to head home. On my way out Spirit stopped me, "Hey man, you seem a little weird."

"Weird?"

"Well weirder than usual. What's bothering you.."

"Eh, just relationship stuff..."

"We'll, it's your lucky day man! I'm the master of relationships!"

"Constantly going from girl to girl isn't much of experience with these things..."

"Well?"

"There's uh... This girl and I thought she liked me but, I saw her with another guy..."

"Forget her then. "

"You think I should?"

"If she doesn't want you then why waste your time?"
