Soul's POV

It felt like I had the wind taken out of my lungs. I couldn't breathe. Her WEAPON? Who the Hell is this pretentious asswipe?

I cleared my throat and smirked, "Ok. Now, I'm being serious. Who the hell are you and what do you want with my Angel?"

~Meanwhile in the death room~

Maka runs up to Lord Death with red puffy eyes, "How could you!?"

"Maka you need to understand-"

"Understand what! After almost 3 years, he comes back like nothing happened! What's worse is that you and Stein refuse to tell me why he left!"

"Maka he left on a death scythe mission. I believe you both need to talk things out. Your bond with him is still strong. Please try and understand. "

"Lord Death there are some things I learned to live with but betrayal is not one of those things. Good bye Lord Death."

She turns and walks out of the death room.

"Stein I think now is a good time as ever to tell her who her parents are."

"I agree she's ready."

unbeknownst to them said blonde had heard their "private" conversation angered by their ignorance

'they think I don't know'

~Back with the boys~

"Your Angel? Is that what you call her now?" Matt questioned Kidd

"A lot has happened since you left. She now goes by her title as Angel of Death." Kidd says in a cold voice.

"Matt m-m-Angel doesn't hate you. she's just scared, "Chrona stated finally finding his voice after seeing the person he holds dearest cry.

"Wait Angel? Angel as in the Angel of Death? How is that possible, you guys don't look any better than team zero. I mean I've just heard about the fact you go on missions. Just who are you, who is Angel?"

"I think you should leave Soul," a soft feminine voice was heard behind the boys. They all turned to face a red puffy face (Maka) Angel.

"No obviously you guys have a lot of secret and it's not so much of a secret anymore," Soul said irritation clear on his face.

"Soul it's best if you leave," Chrona said walking in front of Maka in a protective stance. With that being said the group of four left Soul to his thoughts.

~With the group~

"Kidd can you take Chrona to Marie and Stein, he has to be there for his appointment," Maka instructed.

"Maka are you sure you want us to go?" Kidd asked carefully.

"Yes, Matt and I have some business to discuss," she said glaring at her weapon.

Chrona went up to hug her while whispering, "We're always here for you" in her ear. Afterwards he pulled Kidd away leaving Matt and Maka alone.

Maka's Thoughts

'I can't believe he's back! Why did he leave me behind? Does he still love me? Can I trust him again?' Noticing his appearance, 'The years have been good to him.'

Matt's Thoughts

'She's still as beautiful as ever. And God that pout, I want to kiss those pouty lips of hers. Doesn't she know how attractive she looks.'

End of thought

"Matt why are you here? Where have you been?"

"I was on an assignment Maka."

Why didn't you tell me? You've been gone for three years Matt! Three motherfuking years! Do you know how worried I was?!"

"I know Maka and I'm so sorry."

"No you don't know! You don't know how much it hurt to be left behind again."

"maka if I could have taken you with me I would have. Bu Lord Death said that it was a death scythe's only it wasn't meant to last this long. If I had known I would have never agreed."

"So that's your excuse, you were on a mission. That's why you were so busy to let me know how you were. you know i'm not stupid I figured you went on a mission when you left abruptly and Marie did too. But what bugged me the most was that you couldn't send me a letter or even call. Hell, Marie always checked in. I thought you died but our resonance gave me hope, Now here you are like nothing happened and I can't help but think you never cared."

"Make I have always cared about you. I just thought that you hated me. So it would be best if I distanced myself."

"So you decided to be a coward and in the process broke my heart," she whispered.

Matt then embraced Maka, her body stiffened as his grip tightened. "Maka I'm so sorry for not letting you know how I was doing but never was there a day where I wouldn't think of your beautiful face. I know it's a lot to ask but could you ever forgive me?"

The silence was all that was left, the world around them disappeared and emerald eyes met honey eyes. Moments passed and soon the last bell rang bringing them out f their world.

"Matt what was your mission." the intensity of her question only added to the thick tension between meister and weapon

"I don't know if I would tell you," he said regrettably, that angered Maka and a new rage burned through her. Upset that no one thought she deserved to be told what she already knew.

"Really that's what you have to say. You're sorry and you missed me but can't give me an actual reason. . . . Maka-Chop Maka-Chop Maka-Chop!"

After shopping him she started to walk away, as she reached the end of the hall she turned to look back at her old weapon and sighed.

"Matt leave me alone for now please. I mean you have secrets you're still not willing to tell me, Just stay away,"

With that she was gone leaving Matt alone.

"I'm sorry Maka," Matt whispered with tears running down his face
