Sorry to all SoMa fans. I guess I miscounted last chapter:

SoMa-18
KiMa-15
StarMa-2
the winner is SoMa. Yeah I lied about the chapter eight thing. I did this so Kid would freak out. Sorry to all KiMa shippers and to StarMa no offense you didn't really have a chance.

Maka POV:

I was so sad when Kid threw a surprise going away party for me. I mean I was happy that he cared but sad because I had to leave.

I felt so nice to know that all my friends cared about me enough to do this for me. One of Kid's weapon's, Liz, came over to ask me "How do you like the party Maka?" her voice was craking so I could tell she was sad. I gave her a smile and said "Liz to be honest the only thing that could make this party better is me not having to leave."

Liz nodded in agreement to the statement I made. She went to hug me and I hugged her back. When I turned around Soul was watching me a sad look on his face. He tried to give me a hug earlier but I refused.

He asked "Why don't you want to hug me?" Oh Soul it's not that I don't want to hug you it's just the fact if I hug you I turn into a fox. "So-Soul, I care ab-about you to m-much to say good- goodbye."

Soul saying that was just to much. I ran out not caring if he tried to stop me. I have pretty long legs so I could run fast. I ran as fast as I could to the house that would be my last time spending the night in.

I got there in less than five minutes dispite the fact we live four blocks away. To my surprise Blair was there to say good-bye. She engulfed me in a hug which I accepted because she didn't shove me into her chest area. She knew I didn't like that so she hugged me in her cat form.

Back At The Party And Soul's POV:

Liz just smacked the back of my head after Maka ran off. She said "Nice going. She was supposed to have a fun last memory of all of us together. But you made her cry." she yelled.

After that the music stopped and both Kid and Black*Star came up to me and said "Why did you make her cry?" Kid was protective of his friends and Black*Star was protective over Maka like a younger sister.

I said "All I wanted was a hug. But I guess she only wants to hug other people." Black*Star said "Still... HOW DARE YOU MAKE MY GODDESS CRY!" This was one of those rare moments that showed he cared about others. "Kid showed more of an understanding to it and said "Well go on and get out of here and apoligize already!"

I nodded and ran towards the apartment. It took about ten minutes so I figured Maka calmed down, at least a little bit. Yes I know what it's like to leave home but not willingly.

I barged into the apartment but Maka was nowhere to be seen. Her clothes were on the floor so I thought she may be taking a shower but that seemed unlikely because she would never do that.

As I walked past her clothes they moved as if they were alive making me jump in surprise. I carefully lifted them up to see a fox.

The fox right after seeing me ran into Maka's room. It was halfway there until "POOF" green smoke envoleoped the animal and showed Maka.

I was stunned. That is really cool I thought. I started to walk over to her until I noticed a tiny little fact. I turned beet red and had a little blood out of my nose (Classic Soul.) She walked up to me now fully clothed and said "Go on. Say it. Say I'm a freak. Say you don't want to know me anymore."

I smiled and said "Maka, that is the coolest thing I ever saw." she looked into my eyes and said "Soul you sound like a pervert." I blushed and said "I mean turning into a fox thing. Why didn't you tell me?" She looked down and said "I thought you would think I was a freak."

I smiled and said "Maka listen to me and remember this. I will never ever think you are a freak. Do you understand?" Tears grazing her eyes Damn it the second time I made her cry tonight. She jumped up and hugged me then I saw why she didn't want to hug me.

She was back as a fox. Her eyes were still the beautiful green I came to love. I asked her "So this is the reason why you didn't want me to hug you? And if that's the case then why can Hats- whatever his name is and those people I met can hug you? And Liz to?"

She took a deep breath and said "Okay Soul promise you won't tell anyone about this. Certain members of my family can change into the fourteen zodiac animals. Those are the only members I can hug. I can hug other females to. When ever said members are hugged by a member of th oppisite sex or when under a great deal of stress we transform."

That was alot to take in but I smiled and then something or actually two somethings came to mind "Wait, so you can talk in this form?" She nodded then I asked "There are only twelve members of the zodiac Maka and there's no fox." she smiled in her fox form and said "Yes there is Soul but, there is a legend about them. The cat and me, the fox. Many years ago God was having a banquet for all the animals and he said " Come to my banquet tomorrow" but the rat told the cat that the banquet was the day after tomorrow. The fox opon hearing this said to the cat that it was tomorrow. But she was known for her tricks so he thought she was lying. The rat left and went to the banquet while the cat dreamed of the banquet while the fox stayed behind. From that day everyone thought the fox was a foolish creature. The End"

I was so happy she told me then *poof* knowing what was happening I turned aroud. She tapped on my shoulder after she redressed. This was the perfect kiss moment. We both leaned in slowly and shared our kiss. It was about three seconds.

We both blushed and that's when Black*Star came in and said "What did you do to my GODDESS?" Maka asked "What makes me "your" goddess?" Black*Star said "Well since I am a God and your my sister that makes you a goddess and I rule everything and that makes you mine!"

So I guess he doesn't like her in that way but I'm not sure about Kid. I got this far with no compition with him but that can change.
