A party at Maka and Soul's hose, Asika's partial family reunion?

"Well it may not have been good, but it was filling." BlackStar stretched back, unaware of how Maka was glaring at him. Asika rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Don't listen to him, Maka, it was great. I'm going to get some water."

Asika stepped into the kitchen and looked around. She sighed and seared for a glass. She heard someone talking, but figured if it was important, someone would come in and tell her. She poured the water into her glass and leaned over the counter, looking out the window.

What was going on? The way that the way that she and Kid almost kissed made her feel like there was a chance he felt the same way. But then that was crushed by BlackStar opening the door. And then also how he sat next t her during dinner. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance he felt the slightest amount of feelings for her. Asika sighed and told herself not to dwell on it and feeling sorry for herself wouldn't do any good. When she walked into the living room she almost dropped her glass.

"Blair?" the woman turned and her face lit up

"Asiki!"

Blair ran over to Asika and hugged her tightly. Asika set her glass down and hugged her back. Everyone stared at them with open mouths. Especially Soul. How did Asika know his stalker? She had only just moved into town, and even thought she technically lived in town before, she was still far away.

"What are you doing here?" Asika asked, thankful Blair was wearing a towel, "I thought you were living in that pumpkin house.

"I live here now!" she laughed, "Hi Kazuki!"

"Hey Blair."

"How do you guys know each other?" Maka asked

"Asiki is just the greatest niece ever!" Blair hugged Asika tighter

"Y-you guys are related?" Kid stuttered. Both he and Asika felt their cheeks get hot

"Uh… yeah." Asika said quickly, "What, you don't see any family resemblance?"

Kid tried his best, he really did, to not look at Asika's chest. Though, it was an involuntary reflex, he couldn't help it. Luckily for him, Asika didn't see. Kid looked back an fourth between their faces. He supposed there was a slight resemblance, mostly in the shape of their eyes. And a similar shape of their face.

"Yeah, I guess." He said, feeling embarrassed, "You guys have similar eyes." Blair yawned

"Well, I'm going to take a bath and head to bed." She said letting go of Asika, "I'm exhausted, see you later Asiki!"

"Bye." Asika said quietly. She sat down on one of the couches which were now empty. She loved her aunt, really she did, but she had always been very… comfortable with her body. And now all her friends knew. And Kid knew… she immediately started to fear that Kid thought that acting like Blair did run in the family, especially because he mothers side of the family was entirely witches. Which it did not! " I think I should go, my mom will probably be waiting for me to call. I told her I had to tell her something."

"You didn't tell your mom you defeated two kishans using magic?" Tsubaki asked. She took Asika's silent blushing as a yes, "Why?"

"I just haven't gotten in touch with her yet."

"Liz, Patty, we should go too." Kid said, "My father is expecting me to be home. He needs me to do him a small favor."

"Sorry Kid, Tsubaki's teaching us how to do our hair like she does."

"And I can't go yet, Asika." Kazuki said, trying not to smirk, "I have to show Soul and BlackStar something with the car." Asika sighed

"So I have to walk home? Alone?!" she demanded

"Why don't you take her home, Kid?" Maka suggested, "You were her ride here anyway, and you two are the only ones who need to leave."

"Ok." Kid and Asika both said quietly.

They shut the door and everyone immediately looked out the window. Kid was helping Asika onto his skateboard. Kid held her close to him, like he did on the way there. Though, they were facing each other this time. Asika wrapped her arms around Kid's neck, resting her head on his chest. Kid wondered to himself, did she really like him. Liz had been hinting for over a week by then and he was starting to take her seriously. After all, she was always telling her she could trust him.

"So Blair's your aunt?" Kid asked. Asika felt herself blushing and was glad he could see her face. Though, this time she wasn't so lucky. Kid could feel the heat through his shirt.

"Yeah, I don't get to see her that much, though." Kid moved one hand from her shoulder to her waist. He felt her face get hotter

"On your mothers' side?" Asika nodded. Kid felt like an idiot, asking such a stupid question. Of course it was on her mothers' side! "Younger or older?"

"She's younger than my mom by about… thirteen years. Blair's only 21, so it's sort of like she's a much older sister."

"Wow, she's only 24?"

"Yeah."

"So when you were born she was… she was eight?" Asika's cheeks burned brighter. Usually when she told someone the age difference between her aunt and her mother, no one did the math. But Kid was smart.

They got to Asika's house and kid carefully helped her down. Asika was already used to the skateboard and didn't need his help. But she wanted it. Kid, once again, admired her house. There was a rustle in the bushes several feet away. Asika gasped quietly. Animals never came to their house. There was some kind of chemical that was sprayed on the grass o keep it from growing too long that they didn't like. Asika ignored it and looked back at Kid.

"Thanks for taking me today." She said, "I probably would've have been able to go if you didn't."

"It was nothing." He said. She quickly kissed him on the cheek and got her key out of her pocket

"Bye, Kid."

He opened his moth to answer, but didn't. A fast ray of light shot between them and something emerged out of the bushes. It slung an arrow into the bow and aimed it at them. Gold light shot at them like before. They ducked at the last second. Asika grabbed Kid's hand and pulled him into the house. She held her hands out and with a click all the doors and windows in the house locked.

"What the hell's going on?" Kid asked. Asika caught a quick glance out the window to see the man slinging another arrow. She grabbed his arm and started dragging him to the back of the house and up the 10 ft wide stair case.

"We'll hide in my room." She explained, "It's a bit of a mess, but it's better than being down there." At the top of the staircase, Asika held her hands out and a thick wall formed. She opened a dark purple door with her name written with gold next to a black one, and shoved Kid in.

"Asika, what's happening?" Kid demanded again. She locked the door and turned to him.

"This happens sometimes. If we just stay here, we'll be fine." She looked at the floor, "Sorry about the mess."

"No, it's perfect." He said looking around, "You even have two beds."

"Y-you wanna… sit down?"

They sat on one of the beds next to each other. There was a loud crash on the balcony door. Asika screamed and jumped into his lap. Kid put his hand on her head, keeping her close to him. She was trembling slightly and was clearly shaken up. He gently kissed the top of her head and held her tighter. She pulled her legs tighter to her chest. They were both thinking the same thing. Was there a chance? The slightest, smallest, microscopic, chance? And they both hoped for the same answer. Yes, there was a chance they could be together.

"It's alright." Kid whispered into her ear, "I won't let anything hurt you. I'm going to protect you."
