In class Maka couldn't wait for class to end, the tension in the air was thick, all she could do was sit there and cross her fingers.

The bell rang and she quickly grabbed her note book and walked as quick as she could out of the class.

"Maka wait up!" she heard Kid yell after her.

She turned to see Soul leaning against the door way of the class room, glaring at Kid as he ran to catch up to her.

"What is it?" she asked Kid looking the other way.

"About what happened last night… we have to do it again." He whispered.

"I'm sorry Kid but I can't." Maka said shaking her head.

"Why not?" he asked. "No one's going to know." He said grabbing her hands in his.

"How are you planning on doing all of this without anyone noticing?" she asked him pulling her hands away from his.

"I've been thinking about it. I thought to myself, 'what would be a good explanation for going out every night?' and then it hit me. We could pretend to be in a relationship!" he exclaimed.

Maka's eyes widened. "I don't like to lie." She said.

"You won't have to! I'll do all the talking." Kid said a huge smile on his face.

"I don't know Kid, I have my doubts…" she said.

"Don't worry about it. So… let's spread the word… 'Girlfriend.'" He said with a chuckle.

Maka blushed and looked down. "Kid, I'm already in bad terms with Soul… I have the feeling that this will only make everything worse."

"Don't worry." He repeated, grabbing her hands again.

"Am I interrupting something?" Soul asked his eye twitching as he glared down at the linked hands.

"Yes, actually you are." Kid said, watching the way that Soul's eyes twitched with curiosity.

"Oh? And what am I interrupting?" he asked.

"Uh…" Maka couldn't think of anything.

Kid smirked at Soul as he pulled Maka to his side and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I just asked Maka out on a date… and she said yes." Kid said.

The phrase 'if looks could kill', crossed through Kids mind when Soul glared down at him, baring his shark like teeth down at him.

Kid looked down at Maka and saw that she was blushing a deep red… she looked adorable. Kid blinked away the last thought and glared back at Soul. "Do you have a problem with that?" Kid asked Soul.

It looked like Soul wanted to say something but he kept quiet and walked away.

"I had a feeling that this might happen." Maka whispered to herself as she watched Soul walk away, his back stiff.

"He'll get over it Maka. So, we'll go out and practice tonight but for now, let's go get some lunch I'm starving." He said holding out his arm.

Maka sighed and looped her arm through his. "I still think that this is a bad idea." She murmured.

Kid kept quiet and looked out into space as he remembered his conversation with his father he had earlier before walking into class.

Flash back-

Kid walked into the Death room to see his father standing by that mirror of his.

"Father." He called out.

"Kiddo! What's up?" Lord Death exclaimed patting Kid on the head.

"Well the rumors that were going around that Maka once worked for Medusa are false. I have no idea where you heard that from but they were far from the truth… but I did find out something about her that you might be interested in knowing…" Kid trailed off setting his weapons on the ground.

"Oh and what might that be?" Lord Death asked his son with curiosity filling his voice.

"A secret that she has kept well, but… I don't think I should tell you…" Kid said trailing off again, a feeling bubbling up in his stomach that he didn't like… did they call it… guilt?

"Maka's a weapon." Someone blurted out from the background.

Kids eyes widened as he turned around to see Liz covering her mouth. "Liz!" he exclaimed.

"She's a weapon? Then why is she partnered with Soul?" Lord Death asked.

"I don't know she didn't want to tell me. But Father, this has to be kept secret, no one could know, not even her father. She trusted me with this secret." Kid said.

"I give you my word Kiddo." Lord Death said. "Is she a scythe?" he asked.

"Yes… why do you ask?" Kid asked.

"You have to partner with her. Her father and mother were my top students… I'm sure she would be a great Death Scythe." Lord Death said.

"But father, she doesn't want to be a weapon, plus, I already have my weapons, Liz and Patty!" Kid exclaimed.

"They could be your back up." Lord Death said.

With a sigh, Kid nodded. "I'll leave Liz and Patty here then." he murmured, knowing that when his father made a decision, it had to be respected.

"I'll take care of them." Lord Death said.

"Kid, you can't let this happen. We are your weapons!" Liz exclaimed.

"Uh hu!" Patty said.

Kid looked at them. "You guys know very well to respect the decisions that my father makes." He told them and walked out of the room quickly before he did something that he would regret.

-End Flash Back

"Kid? Hello? Anyone there?" Maka said waving her hand in front of Kids face.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sorry. I spaced out, what were you saying?" Kid asked.

"I asked you if you found out what happened with your house." Maka said.

"Oh, yeah, one of my beloved candles tipped over." He said with a shrug. 'Damn you Liz.' He thought to himself.

"Oh, well, will you still need to stay at the apartment?" she asked him.

"If you don't mind…" Kid trailed off.

"No I don't, it's just that, well, things might get a little awkward, you know with Soul living there and all." She said.

"It will, but it's only until you could master your weapons skill." Kid said smiling down at her.
