Maka hadn't slept at all that night. She sighed her head pressed on a pillow. How could she sleep? All Maka could think about was the fight that had commenced between her and Soul. His face, full of hurt as her words cut deep like daggers. Maka didn't know much about Soul's family, though he let her in, he had trusted her and she abused it. Not only did she crush him with his family but also stated that she hated him, how could she be so naive? 'Its amazing how much that boy can scream.' Maka was terrified of what Medusa was doing to Soul, horrifying thoughts entered Maka's mind as images played through her thoughts of what he may be going through. Why hadn't she taken his advice? She should of calmed down, realised what she was saying, then she would of never kicked him out and Soul would remain right here next to her. Wouldn't he? No. No Maka always had to win, she knew, if she hadn't kicked Soul out than about an hour later he would of stormed off, left', had it and Medusa would grasp him either way. A tear slid down her cheek. After her papa literally dragged her back to the apartment she hadn't talked to anyone; she just stared and watched Tsubaki pack her clothes. She felt numb, exhausted and empty blaming herself for the cause. As the two girls reached the academy, a room was filled with mattresses placed everywhere, but this time Kid kept it quiet that the mattresses were not in symmetrical form.

'BlackStar are you ok?' Kids voice echoed around the room. Obviously he wasn't sleeping either.

'I'm firkin pissed off! 100 times I have tried to break out of this stupid room and Sid always seems to find me! FUCKING MEDUSA ' BlackStar's rough voice replied, he sighed 'I just don't understand why Stein wanted us to sleep here tonight.'

There was a long pause.

'Is Maka asleep?' Kid asked

'I think so. It took her a while but I think she is resting now out of pure exhaustion' Tsubaki's sober voice replied.

'Poor Maka' Liz sympathised

'Good. To my understanding Stein wanted us to stay here for the night to comfort one and another, especially Maka. Probably after seeing us play basketball the other day.'

'But no matter how tough the mission was, Stein never placed us in a room together for comfort before so why now?' BlackStar asked

'That's what I am afraid of. Didn't you see the state of Maka after we got to the apartment? She was hysterical. Obviously Stewart had a little chat with her before leaving. In fact if Stein didn't order us to stay in this room I would of moved in just to make sure she wouldn't do anything stupid.' Kid stated

'We all would' Tsubaki comforted

'Stein very well knows what Medusa is capable of and from the order of us to stay here tonight I am afraid that Soul's condition may not be well.'

'Poor Soul' Paddy murmured

All of a sudden a growl echoed around the room from BlackStar and a loud crash followed. In fear Maka jumped out of bed to reveal three beds toppled over one and another with Kid, Liz and Paddy collapsed on the floor tangled in their own bodies, their faces full of shock. BlackStar was found on the opposing side crouched down is fury.

'BLACKSTAR!' Tsubaki cried

'Medusa is gonna wish she was never born when I'm finished with her' BlackStar growled anger enraged within him.

'You're angry with Medusa so you KNOCK US OVER! WHAT THE HELL BLACKSTAR!' Liz shrieked leading her sister into laughter.

Maka slowly found the dread disappearing out of her stomach, a smile stretched across her face and finally she started laughing. Soon the laughter grew and grew, she was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe. Laughing she fell to the floor, slowly she began to calm down though she looked up to find the lost faces of her companions, thus making her laugh harder. Tear started to form in her eyes and soon she found herself sobbing.

Tsubaki was the first one there and grasped Maka in a tight hug cradling her, followed by the gang. Maka cried, she cried hard and loud in the middle of the group hug until she couldn't cry no more from pure exhaustion slowly her eyes started to close as Maka fell in a deep sleep hearing the whispering comfort from her friends.

'Don't worry we will get him back'

'Yeah its Soul were talking about, it takes a lot to bring him down.'

Maka woke up to a light hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes to reveal a happy BlackStar, his face too close to hers.

'HEY MAKA! GUESS WHAT ITS TIME TO LEAVE!WOOHOOO!' BlackStar cheered lifting Maka over his shoulders spinning her around.

'AHHHHH BLACKSTAR' Maka's croaky voice cried.

'BLACKSTAR PUT HER DOWN!' Liz screamed

Slowly the excited boy placed Maka back on the mattress.

'We are we going?' Maka asked watching her friends pack.

'Sorry Maka you just looked so peaceful , we wanted you to sleep in. Earlier Lord Death organised a meeting. We are going to get Soul back.' Tsubaki stated

'How early?' Maka asked

'Round seven thirty'

'And what is the time now?'

'Five in the afternoon.'

'Well tell me the plans!' Maka pleaded

Soul I am coming for you
