I was at a loss for words, standing right infront of me was my dead miester... She floated over to me and sat, well hovered right over my bed. "I knew you would be surprise to see me." she smiled. her voice small, her whole being seemed so much softer. "Maka...how..how did.." she raised a finger to my lips to stop me and began to explain. "Well as you know Soul, I died." I looked down, bangs clouding my face. Maka reached her hand under my chin and guided it up to look her in the eye. The spot where her fingers traced tingled "Soul...I'm not really gone." Finding my voice from god knows where, I asked "W-what do you mean...not gon-ne" she giggled at my speach, "My angel told me I was not yet ready to die, so she is keeping me here." "Angel.. what are you-where is here Maka?" I was so desprate I was pleading for answers. "The Inbetween, it is a place where people like me go." I reached for her hand to find I really could touch it. Grabbing it in my own, for the first time in my life, I begged. "Maka, tell me where it is, please! I need to know!" "That's the thing Soul, its not really anywhere, its just here." "Then at least tell me if I... if I can.. help you, please!" she cast her gaze down "Well...there is ...that one way but..." I squeezed her hand "Please Maka, tell me!" her head shook "No Soul, its too dangerous, I would not be able to stand seeing you hurt." "And how do you think I felt when I had to sit there and watch you die, huh! How do you think I felt when they took you away from me, even when it was no longer you! I deid that night Maka, and I do anything to live again!" I burst out in pure anger, not at her, but at myself. She giggled at me once more "Oh Soul, only you would say that to a ghost..." "Maka..." she sighed in defeat. "My soul...it's in pieces, scattered all around places in my memories." She looked at me for a sign to continue. "But it cannot last like that much longer, it needs to be put back together again... but Soul it's too risky please-" "Maka, tell me what I need to do." "Well if you were to enter my momories you would need to...put my soul pieces back together before they die out." "Then that's what i'll do." she clutched my arm in a desprate atempt to change my mind. "Soul, please there are demons devils and evil spirits that follow each soul piece. They will kill you Soul, without a second thought!" "Do you really think I care?" "Even if you don't, I do! I can't let you Soul!" I chuckled at her "You just don't get it, do you? Once i'v made up my mind there is no going back, i'm going to get you back, Maka, even if I die trying." Before she had a chance to reject I cut in "So how do I get into this 'Inbetween?" "...threw my memories. I need to think for a memory and you need to think of the same one." "Kay, how about when we first met, I like that one." I could still see the light blush on her translucent skin. She nodded and closed her eyes, I did the same, and everything went black.
