Maka's POV

They just stood there, staring at me. "Umm, let's talk….. In Kid's study," I said rather nervously. We headed up to Kid's symmetrical study. The walls were lined with books and paintings. Two big windows were placed opposite each other. There was a table placed in the centre of the room, surrounded with red velvet chairs. We sat down around the table. I told them everything, about my mission, my mother and my powers. Although I said I told them everything, I didn't. I didn't tell them about my castle, my wonderland and my ability to see the past and future. They reacted quite calmly. A few minutes later, we wished each other good night and went to our rooms. Tsubaki shared room with Liz and Jessica shared my room. I don't know about the boys though.

I waited until everyone was asleep and snuck out and climbed onto the roof. I sat down at the edge and took out my flute. I started playing a beautiful and relaxing music that I composed myself while I was in Italy, watching the sunset. A gentle breeze started blowing and I played a note that made my cards fly out of my pocket and danced in the air.

Kid's POV

I couldn't sleep so I decided to go out for some fresh air. I snuck out of my room through the window but as I was about to jump down, I heard someone playing a flute. I guessed it was Maka and it sounded like it was coming from the roof. I climbed up and saw Maka, playing the flute. Her hair was fluttering through the wind and cards danced in the air as she played her flute. Her eyes were closed, as if she cared about nothing in the world at that moment. I watched her from a distance and after two minutes, the music stopped. The cards flew back in her pocket.

I walked towards her as she turned her head and saw me. She smiled and gestured for me to sit down next to her. I sat down next to her and looked up to the sky.

"The air is quite dry for these past few days. It hasn't rained for a while." I said while sighing.

"Then I shall make it rain." She said calmly. I looked at her puzzled. She smiled and looked up to the sky, then closing her eyes. She opened her mouth and started singing. Although, she was singing in Russian. It sounded beautiful. At first I didn't get what the point of it was until I felt droplets of water on my nose and arms. I looked up and it was raining slightly.

I stared at her in awe. I couldn't believe what was happening. It all seemed too….. amazing.

"Let's get back inside." She said as she stood up and climbed back in her room. I followed behind her and climbed in my room.

~Time skip~

Maka's POV

I woke up earlier than usual today. I got off my bed and took a shower. Just as I stepped in the shower, Jessica woke up.

"Senpai? Where are you?" she asked with a sleepy voice.

"Uh…. I'm just in the shower….."

"Oh…. Okay…"

After a few minutes, I got out of the shower and got dressed in my 'new' usual clothes. I brushed my hair and braided my hair. My hair had gotten much longer since I left Death City. They now reach below my waist. Jessica wore a pink shirt with black stripes and denim shorts. We went down and ate breakfast while waiting for the rest to wake up.

"Morning guys…" me and Jessica greeted while they were going down the stairs.

"Hey, Maka~~~" Patty yelled, jumping up and down on the couch.

Jessica chatted with Soul and Tsubaki and Liz sat next to me. "I like your braids."

"Uh… thanks…"

We chilled for a few minutes then went to the DWMA. We went to our class as the bell rings and sat in our seats. I sat down next to Tsubaki who was sitting next to Black*Star and Soul sat next to Jessica who was sitting beside Patty and Liz who was sitting next to Kid as usual. The class started and Stein wanted to do some dissection on a rare species of what looked like an oversized lion.

The whole class wandered off into their' own thoughts and didn't bother listening to what Stein is saying. I and Kid were the only ones bothered to write some notes. But I got bored after a while and stopped writing. I and Tsubaki chatted softly so Stein wouldn't hear us.

"So Maka, you've gotten much stronger huh?"

"Kinda but I wouldn't say STRONG unless I've defeated Black*Star or Stein in a fight."

"Would you like to try? But I wouldn't recommend it though, what if you get hurt real bad?"

"I would like to try one day… And don't worry, even IF I get hurt, it wouldn't be that big of a deal."

She shrugged and I noticed Stein throwing a scalpel towards us. I punched it and sent it flying towards the other side of the classroom. The whole class stared at me and Stein smirked, "Impressive. See me on recess."

I looked at him puzzled and rested my chin on my hand, "Am I in trouble professor?"

He shook his head and smiled, "You're not in trouble, Miss Albarn."

"Then, why do you need me to see you at recess?"

"Training….."

I raised an eyebrow then shrugged. He got back to the lesson and continued dissecting. After hours of watching Stein dissect a poor little animal, it was finally time for recess. As the bell rang, people rushed out of the classroom but this time, they got out and waited for me to get out of the classroom. As I followed Stein to the training area, they followed closely from behind. Though, I noticed Kid wasn't there.

When we reached the training area, everybody crowded a few feet from me and Stein, keeping a safe distance.

"Let me guess… Combat training?"

"Definitely. After that stunt you pulled in class, I couldn't help but notice you're fighting skills must have improved a lot."

I growled at him and rolled my eyes, "Ugghh…. Of course, I was so bad at fighting back then."

"Hmmmphh…. Well you were quite fragile back then."

I looked unimpressed, "What? Like a flower?"

He snickered, "Perhaps. Anyways this is a 'no weapon' round. There are 3 rounds."

"Carry on"

"First round, no weapon of any kind, understood?"

"Yea"

"Second, you can use small weapons and your wavelength…."

"Third?"

"Full power."

"Okay then….."

"Get ready!"

"Bring it on… Old man," I scowled at him.

Kid's POV

"Thanks, father."

"No problem~~"

I bowed slightly and just as I was about to leave the room, he stopped me.

"You should hurry to the training area, there's gonna be a fight."

"A fight?"

He nodded and I rushed to the training area. People were crowded together and were shouting. I pushed through the crowd, trying to get to the front. "What in the name of-"

My eyes widened when I saw Maka fighting with Stein. My jaw dropped and I turned and saw Soul and Black*Star watching. I ran up to them and grabbed their collars. "What the hell is going on here?! YOU two better have a very good explanation for this!"

Soul pushed me off him and Black*Star, "Woah bro, chill. They're training." I looked at Stein and Maka then back at Soul. "Are you kidding me? Why would Maka even think about fighting Stein with no weapon what so ever?"

He shrugged and sighed, "I don't know either but just…. Watch, okay?"

I groaned and watched them fight.

Normal POV

Maka ran up to Stein and was about to punch him in the face when he manoeuvred his fist towards her chin. But as he thought his fist had made contact with her chin, she disappeared.

"What?"

Suddenly, he felt a powerful kick on the back of his head, making him fly a few feet from where he was.

"You're too slow old man."

People cheered as Maka walked over to Stein, who was getting up. Stein punched her in the face but she blocked his attack and she elbowed him in the stomach and dropped down and swiped her leg at his' making him fall down. He got up and grabbed her leg, then throwing her across the field. As she flew across the field, she flipped and landed on her feet, stopping her from hitting the ground hard.

Stein ran towards her and she dodged his attacks. She turned to him and body slammed him then punching him to the other side of the field.

He got up and raised his hand, signalling her to stop before shouting, "Round two!"

Maka smiled and placed her hands on her hips, "Try to catch up, old man!"

Stein took out a few scalpels from his pocket and threw it at her. Maka took out her cards and fanned them out before deflecting Stein's scalpels with ease. Stein took out a knife and swung it towards Maka and one of his attacks scratched her left cheek. She scowled at him as she touched her cheeks trying to stop the blood from flowing out. A bit annoyed by this, with inhuman speed, Maka struck Stein at his leg with her cards, making him lose balance and fall down. He grabbed his leg and hissed in pain.

"What? Are you giving up already?" Maka teased.

He chuckled and stood up, "No way…. Round three!"

Maka's POV

I concentrated on my wavelength and black flames ran up my hand as my scythe appeared. He called my 'father' and he turned into a scythe.

"Stein you better not hurt my Maka or I'll rip you apart and turn you inside out!"

I rolled my eyes, "Ugghh, Papa seriously that old man wouldn't even have a chance!"

"That's my girl! I'm serious Stein….."

I groaned.

"Soul Resonance!" Stein and I yelled in unison.

Kid's POV

My eyes were wide the whole time they fought. But just as I thought everything was over, Stein yelled 'Round Three'.

"Soul Resonance!" They yelled in unison.

Maka smiled sinisterly as her hair slowly turned black. Her eyes turned blood red and the right half of her face was engulfed in black flames for a moment but then the flames turned into a mask with a glowing red eye and no mouth that only covered the right half of her face.

Black flames surrounded her body, forming a flaming black coat. The coat resembles a bit like the Shinigami coat that I have.

People started cheering and our eyes were wide open, including Stein. Stein shook his head, trying to regain his concentration and then ran towards Maka with Spirit in scythe form in his hands. Maka stabbed her scythe to the ground and raised her arms and crossed it, making it look like an X. She took a deep breath and covered her mouth with her arms.

Just as Stein was about to attack, Maka removed her arms away from her face and breathed fire; black flames came out from her mouth.

My eyes widened and jaw dropped, "What the?"

The black flames burnt Stein's left hand and he groaned in pain.

Not giving up, Stein slashed the Death Scythe towards Maka. She dodged all of his attacks and she ran towards her scythe and grabbed it, then blocking Stein's attack. Maka held her scythe with her right hand, still blocking Stein's attack. Her left hand reached to her flute and she took it out.

I knew what was going to happen and yelled out, "Cover your ears!"

Everybody in the crowd looked at me and quickly covered their ears. Stein looked dumbfounded, "What?"

With inhuman speed, Maka placed the flute in front of her mouth and played it. A high-pitched melody played. Stein dropped his scythe and covered his ears, immediately breaking off his attack.

Using this as an advantage, Maka threw her scythe towards Stein, cutting off a few pieces of his hair. He picked up his scythe, but he was too late. Maka kicked his face and elbowed his chin. Blood came out from his nose and mouth as her foot and elbow made contact with his face.

Both of them picked up their scythe and slashed them towards each other.

"Soul Purge!" Stein yelled while punching his wavelength to Maka. Maka coughed out a tiny bit of black blood. 'Wait…. What? Why is her blood black? She never told me anything about that…' I thought. I shook the thought away and kept on watching.

I noticed Stein was going to do it again and he yelled out once more,

"Soul Purge!"

"DEFLECT!" Maka yelled as Stein punched his wavelength to Maka. With inhuman speed as always, she punched the air. It looked like she was deflecting Stein's soul wavelength.

Normal POV

Maka deflected Stein's wavelength attack and sent it back to him but instead of just sending HIS wavelength back to him, she sent some of her wavelength too.

Stein felt a lighting like and stinging sensation in his arms, crawling up to his brain. In just three seconds, he felt a huge and terrifying pain in every part of his body.

Kid's POV

"What the?"

I wanted to see her soul wavelength. If she can deflect Stein's wavelength attack with ease, then her wavelength must be really enormous and powerful. I closed my eyes and opened them again. I saw Stein's wavelength, as usual it's powerful and terrifying. Bu then I looked at Maka's. My eyes widened and I froze.

Her wavelength was so powerful, I can feel it tearing and ripping ME apart. It didn't look nor feel like her old and usual wavelength, this time it was much more powerful. It was black, with one emerald eye and one blood red eye. It had a sinister smile on it and it looked like it was drooling black blood. The four Aces were imprinted on its face and it wore a colourful joker hat. It also looked like it had huge wings, black angel wings.

I compared Stein's wavelength and Maka's. The differences were just too great. Maka's was bigger, more terrifying and much more powerful than his.

Normal POV

Maka placed her hands on her hips, still holding onto her scythe. She sighed and shook her head slowly, "I thought you could've done better than that professor….. I'm quite…. Disappointed."

Stein groaned and slowly stood up, trying to keep his balance, "I'm not done yet."

Maka raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Why of course…." She chuckled sinisterly. "That level of attack couldn't possibly kill you."

"It could've….. I just got lucky I guess."

"Well your luck is about to run out…." She said, frowning.

"Not unless I finish you first!" Stein said as he ran towards Maka with full force. Without hesitation, Maka stabbed the ground with the scythe and the word 'Fire' appeared in Japanese below Stein and Maka. Just as Stein was a few feet away from her, Maka yelled, "Hiban! (Fire Seal)"

The earth below Maka and Stein started cracking and black flames slowly emerged and four dragon shaped flames came out and dived into the ground, attacking Stein.

"Rest in peace" Maka said as she took out her scythe from the ground and slashed Stein.

Maka's POV

Silence

Everybody went quiet and stood still.

"Is he dead?" a girl asked.

I didn't answer, nobody did.

"He is isn't he?" She said trembling while backing away.

I sighed and kneeled down. I removed his hair away from his face, revealing a cold, emotionless face. I turned around and saw my father staring at me. He walked towards me but I stopped him and asked him to back away. I looked back at Stein's dead body. I placed my hands on his chest; presumably on the heart area.

White light appeared from below and around me. I closed my eyes and whispered, "Stein, it isn't the time for you to sleep yet."

The wind blew and hair fluttered. The mask on my face disappeared and the coat was gone with it. My hair turned back to ash blonde and my eyes turned back to emerald green.

I took out my flute and immediately played it. A soft and peaceful melody played and my cards danced in the wind. It moved here and there and often circling above Stein. I stopped playing and placed my hand on his chest again.

"Revival"

The white light around me and Stein became bright and at one moment, blinding. Then it disappeared, my cards flew back into my pocket and the wind stopped blowing.

His eyes slowly opened, "Maka?"

I smiled and helped him up. "I'm alive?"

"Yes Stein-hakase."

"But I thought you killed me. I thought I'm dead."

I dusted off the dust from his shoulders, "You were but I can't let my favourite teacher be left dead by a fellow student, especially me."

His eyes widened, and then he smiled. "You didn't want me dead?"

"Of course not and I didn't know an attack that level could even kill you."

"Wait, that wasn't a high level attack?"

I shook my head, "No. That was a level two attack; the highest level would be level 100. I would never use a level 100 on a teacher or anybody in Shibusen."

"An attack that low killed me?"

"I guess. I was surprised myself. And when I said 'Rest in Peace' I didn't really mean it."

"But that attack was extremely powerful and that was a level two."

I shrugged.

He smiled and ruffled my hair, "Impressive. As expected from you, Maka."

I chuckled and smiled.

"I guess you really are stronger than me. But if you really want to make sure, you can fight Black*Star. No weapon and one round only."

I looked at Black*Star.

"HELL YEA. I'M GONNA BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!" He said running towards me.

"Bring it"

We started fighting and everybody started cheering.

Stein's POV

I walked up to Kid, Soul, the sisters, Tsubaki and Jessica.

"So, did you kids learn anything?"

"Hell yea. I learned to never mess with Maka in a fight." Soul said trembling.

"HAHAHA! She's beating the crap out of Black*Star!" Patty yelled, jumping up and down.

The girls laughed and cheered for Maka.

"Stein-hakase, what was that just now?" Kid asked.

"What was what?"

"When Maka turned and went full power. Her appearance sorta changed."

"Ah, yes of course."

"Can you explain it?"

"There are different types of angels in this world. Maka is the strongest among all of them. Do you know which one she is?"

"N-no"

"Listen Kid, angels are angels but there are different types of them. For example, the Soldier, the Mermaid and the Snake. The Mermaid neither a weapon nor a meister. Unfortunately, she got killed by a witch. The Soldier is long dead too. He is also known as Gopher, Noah's loyal 'servant'( if you read the manga, you'll know who he is….. or is he in the anime too? Hmm… I dunno. I'll watch the anime again then - Alyss)."

"Continue…"

"The Snake however isn't who you think it is. It isn't Medusa and the Snake is only a mere legend. It never really existed and nobody knows the story behind it."

"So…."

"Maka is the Joker; the strongest and most powerful among all. Each of them has a special form, the Mermaid's is that her hair will turn light blue and her voice will become either beautiful or deadly. The Mermaid's element is water. The Soldier's is that his appearance will not change but his power will increase drastically. The Snake's, is that it can turn into an enormous serpent. It's element, earth. The Joker's is that she will have a mask on and a coat made out of black flames. And her hair will turn black and eyes will turn red."

"I see…"

"But just now, you can see that her mask didn't cover her whole face and only covered half of her face."

"Why?"

"That's because if she covers her whole face with the mask, her power and wavelength could turn extremely deadly and that her wavelength can literally rip everybody apart. She didn't really go full power just now and if she did, the mask would've covered her whole face and she would be wearing a Joker hat."

"What are her elements?"

"Everything, mainly Cards."

"I understand and Maka, she isn't a witch so how can she perform magical attacks?"

"She's a mage. It's in her blood and it runs in her mother's side of the family. Kami isn't a mage but Maka is. After generations and generations, the power of the mage is passed down to Maka."

"I see. Thanks for explaining sir."

"It's a pleasure to."

I walked away but Kid stopped me, "Wait! What else can you tell me? She's immortal now isn't she? So can you tell me more about her immortality?"

I turned my head to face him and smiled, "She's an Immortal Angel."

I turned my head and walked away from the training area.

Kid's POV

I froze there, watching Stein walk away from the training area and disappearing in the crowd. The people started cheering even loudly, I turned around and watched Maka and Black*Star fight.

"Let me tell you something Black*Star…" she said while wiping the sweat on her fore head.

"What?" Black*Star said as he stood up and wiped the blood off from his face. Maka took off her hair tie and undone her braids; her hair fluttering in the wind.

"You see, madness, as we all know is like gravity."

Black*Star raised an eyebrow, "What do you mea–"

"All it takes is a little….."

Black*Star ran towards her.

Maka furrowed her eyebrows, "PUSH!"

She punched him across the field and laughed.

He got up, trying to gain balance. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Oh no reason really…." She glanced at him and smiled. "I just thought you might need to know this. So, keep it in mind and don't forget it."

"I'll do that when I kick your-"

Maka took out a thick, hard cover book and slammed it into his skull. "MAKA CHOP!"

Black*Star fell to the ground, bleeding from the head. Maka smiled, "Hmph, tell that to my hard cover book."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him up, then leaning close to his ear, "I win….." she whispered. People cheered and threw their hands up in the air. She pushed him away from her and walked towards me.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Do you have any water by any chance?"

"I don't, sorry."

She sighed and looked at Jessica who was tugging on her shirt. "I have water. Here you go."

Maka smiled and took the water bottle from Jessica, "Thanks"

Jessica nodded and started talking to some of her friends. Maka drank some of the water and wiped her mouth.

"Your cheek…."

"Hmm? Oh, it'll heal." She smiled.

"Would it leave a scar?"

She touched her cheek, "I hope it doesn't." She stretched her hands and back, "I'm tired….."

"You look like you are. I'll send you to the nurse office-"

She raised her hand and shook her head, "No. I've been to the infirmary enough in one life." She walked away and disappeared from my sight.

Maka's POV

I walked away from the area and went to the balcony. I looked around me to see if anybody's watching.

'Nobody's here….. Good' I thought to myself. I jumped up and landed on the roof. I climbed higher to the top of the DWMA.

"Wow! Check out the view from up here!" I yelled to myself. I sat down and stared at the sunset. I closed my eyes and thought about what happened on my mission.

~Flashback~

Maka pinned the witch against the wall with her scythe. "Any last words before I take your soul?"

The witch, Mary clasped Maka's hands. "You don't need to take it, I'm dying anyways….Please, please do me one favour… Please….." Maka's eyes widened, "What?"

"Please young lady…. It's very important." She coughed out a bit of blood. Maka couldn't believe what was happening. 'A witch asking for a favour to be done by a person from Shibusen?' Maka thought. "What is your favour?"

"Please protect my sister… Elizabeth… Please protect her…"

"Why should I protect her?" I said while pinning her harder against the wall.

"She can help Shibusen….. She…. Can help….. You….." Mary breathed her last breath and died.

"I…I promise to protect her…." Those words slipped out of her mouth.

~End of Flashback~

Maka's POV

The thought of that event couldn't leave my mind. It haunted me.

"Should I tell Lord Death?" I whispered to myself. I folded my knees to my chest, crossed my arms and rested my head on them. I exhaled depressingly and closed my eyes.

"How can she help me? How can she help Shibusen?"

I thought about it and something crossed my mind. My eyes snapped open, "Protecting a witch means I'm helping a witch. Therefore… Betraying Shibusen."

Tears started flowing down my cheeks, I didn't really know why I was crying but I couldn't help it. "I don't want to betray Shibusen… I don't want to…." My eyes turned white.

"But…. I promised Mary to protect her sister….. She said Elizabeth can help Shibusen…."

More tears flowed down my cheeks. They kept on flowing, not stopping. "What if she's lying?" My eyes slightly widened and turned a paler shade of white. I slightly face palmed myself, "Ugghh… Why am I so gullible?"

I stopped crying, but didn't bother to dry my eyes. I stayed there watching the sunset. "I'm in a whole lot of trouble…. God help me….."

Kid's POV

After Maka went away from the training area, I decided to get some food and drinks for her. Just in case she's hungry.

After I got the food, I looked everywhere for Maka; my house, her apartment, the infirmary, library, cafes and the classroom.

"Where in the world is she?" I whispered.

"Now…. Which place would you least expect to find Maka?"

I looked at the roof of the DWMA. 'The roof 'I thought to myself.

I summoned Beelzebub and flew up to the roof. I found Maka sitting down on the very top of the DWMA. She was sobbing slightly, that made me worried.

"Maka?"

Her head shot up and she turned her head, "Kid, what…. What are you doing here?"

"I thought you might be hungry so I got some food for you…" I sat down next to her and held her hand. "Maka…. What's wrong?" I looked her in the eye, her eyes were pale white.

"N- Nothing's wrong…." She stuttered while drying her eyes. I tightened my grip, clenching her hand. "No…. something's definitely wrong. Maka, please tell me."

"I'm fine Kid. Nothing's wrong…."

I let go of her hand and cupped my hands to her cheeks, "No! You've always said that you're fine! That nothing's wrong! But I know you're not fine and that something's wrong! You've always said that Maka! You've always had!"

"I'm fine Kid!"

"No…. I know you're not! Your eyes are white! Something MUST be bothering you."

"I-"

I kissed her and closed my eyes. After a moment, I let go of her and hugged her. "Maka….. You know you can trust me. You know you can."

She hugged me back and started sobbing. "I- I- I want to tell y-you, Kid… But I don't have the guts to do it."

"Don't you trust me Maka?"

"I do trust you… I just can't say it for some reason."

"Then tell me Maka…. Please, I can help you."

She let go and held my hand, eyes turning pale pink, "Can you really?"

"Of course…"

Her eyes turned back to emerald green, "Then you have to swear that you'll never tell anyone about it."

"I swear…. I promise."

"Cross your heart!"

"Done!"

She exhaled and relaxed her shoulders. "I promised Mary to protect her sister."

My eyes widened, "What?"

"I promised Mary, a witch, to protect her sister. This is a favour I feel like I must do."

"Protect a witch? Are you mad?!"

"She said it before she died, Kid! I didn't finish her off, she died right after saying that I need to protect her sister! I- I can't just not do it after promising!"

"But that's the same thing as betraying Shibusen!"

"I know….. But it must be done."

"Don't do it Maka….."

"Well, why can't I? For example, Kim is a witch and we trust her! We help her when she needs us."

'She's right….. I need to do something…. I have to stop her….. Threaten her perhaps?' I thought to myself. I stood up and looked at her straight in the eye.

"Maka, I don't want you to do this so if you do protect Mary's sister then we're through…"

"What?" Her eyes turned white. "Break up? But-"

"If you're really doing this then we're breaking up….. There's a choice; choose to stay with me or help a witch. Your choice."

Her eyes turned gold for some reason and she stood up, crossing her arms. She walked to the edge of the roof and said, "I'm immortal right Kid?"

"Ummmm…. Yea…. So?"

"Will I still die if I jump off?"

"What do you mean-"Before I could finish what I were saying, she jumped off the roof.

"What are you doing?!" I jumped off and caught her in mid-air. I quickly grabbed on to a ledge.

"What do you think you're doing? You could've-"

"Died?"

"Y- Yea…"

"I would rather die than breaking up with you and I'm still going to help her."

"You would go that far?"

"I'm still 'Maka'; stubborn as always." She said winking. "And do you think threatening me will stop me from helping Elizabeth?"

"Elizabeth's her name?"

"Yea"

She let go of me and grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Trust me."

She swung her body back and forth and jumped onto the balcony 10 feet below us. She held out her hand, "Here, I'll help you."

"I can't reach your hand."

"No, no. Let go of that ledge and when you're falling, quickly grab my hand."

I released my grip from the ledge and went falling down. I quickly grabbed Maka's hand and pulled myself up onto the balcony. "See? That wasn't so bad."

"Yea, I guess so." I said dusting a bit of dust from my shirt.

"Be right back"

"Wha? Hey, where are you going?"

"You ask too many questions!" she said while running up the stairs. A few seconds later, she came back with the food and drinks I bought, she was already eating a piece of bread. "And you were right. I am hungry."

Maka's POV

He chuckled and helped me carry the bags of food. "Let's go to my apartment!" I smiled widely at him and ran towards the exit.

"Are you sure?" he said, catching up to me. I sneered, "There won't be any witch crashing in!"

He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

We reached my apartment and went in. "Ahhh, the last time I went here was before the party!" I said, stretching my arms. "I miss you apartment!" I yelled arms still in the air.

"Hmmm…. Keep your voice down, the neighbours might get mad."

"Haaaaah? Life was even louder when Soul was here." I said, raising an eyebrow. "Really now?" he asked. "Are you serious? Every morning here with Soul would start by him having a major nosebleed. And then a bit of boom and crassshhh and MAKA CHOP!" I explained while imitating the sound effects and Maka chopped the sofa.

"I can tell…." He opened a can of soda and drank it. I chuckled and bit a piece of the sandwich Kid bought. I looked around the room, "But it's a bit plain though."

"Well Marie sensei did say that she made some adjustments. It looks much cooler than before I guess."

"Well….. That's true. I think I'll repaint the walls and redecorate the apartment."

"I can help."

"Would you really?"

"Yeap"

"Thanks….. What should I do with Soul's room? You know, since he doesn't live here anymore and now the room is completely empty. Even the bed is gone…. I wonder where it went, he didn't took it when he moved, did he?"

"He didn't."

"Well then, why don't we start tomorrow? It's Saturday anyways…"

"Sure thing, and please make it symmetrical!"

"Well, some might not be."

"Noooo!"

I laughed and punched his shoulder playfully.

Soul's POV

I walked on the now quiet streets of Death City, hands in my pockets.

"What should I do? Jessica's out with Liz and Patty and I'm too tired to deal with Black*Star." I sighed and walked towards the basketball court. I sat down on a bench and looked at the night sky.

I groaned and rubbed my eyes, "Ugghh…. I'm so bored!" I yelled. Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I turned my head to see who it was. It was Maka.

"Hi, Soul."

"Sup."

She sat down next to me. "What are you doing here? All by yourself"

"I don't know what to do. Everyone seems busy so it seems like the better option. What are you doing here anyways?"

"Me? I just needed some fresh air. Kid went home already so I got pretty bored."

"Well at least I got some company. We haven't talked in a while, haven't we?"

She smiled and sighed. "Yea… Ever since things got pretty messed up, we haven't talked to each other much."

"I guess so…"

"Hey Soul…."

"Yea?"

"Tomorrow me and Kid are gonna redecorate my apartment. Wanna help? I mean you have good taste."

"Sorry but I can't. Me and Black*Star are gonna watch a movie…."

"Jessica isn't coming along?"

"No, she's gonna be out with Liz and Tsubaki."

"Okay then…"

Silence

Maka stood up and placed her hands in her pockets, "I think I should go back. It's pretty late."

I stood up and walked over to her, "I'll go too….. There's no point staying here for any longer."

"Alright…."
