Chapter 9 ~ Wish Possibilities

It has been a week since I have seen Maka's past and heard her sing. It made me wonder why people hated her, why people never helped her. 'I wonder how she was able to live like that… I wonder if I could have done something for her…' I thought lying on my bed. "Done what for who?" I heard. I looked over to see Maka, transparent, sitting next to me. "Nothing, just thinking." I said. I sat up and looked away, embarrassed that she almost read everything. "Oh yeah Soul," She said. I looked over to Maka. "What do you want to wish for?"

"Huh, wish?" I asked confused.

"Yeah remember, when I met you I told I would grant you a wish if I could or couldn't find your reason or motivation." She said. I sat there trying to recall that moment.

"Okay how about this, if you let me help you find your reason, your motivation in life, even if we don't find it. I will grant you one wish."

"Oh that," I said finally remembering. "Why do you ask?" I asked. She looked out the window.

"I can't stay here forever you know," she started. "I have to leave eventually. I mean, I'm dead after all. I can't stay her for much longer either." She said. "What do you mean?" I asked. I was getting worried. "Like I said I'm dead, I have to disappear eventually. You know, go to heaven or something." She said. She looked depressed. "How much longer do you have to stay?" I asked, more worried than before. "I have one month. So that's why you should start thinking about that wish before I go so you can change your life." She said. I nodded. Later that night, Maka fell asleep next to me, while I stayed awake thinking about what she said.

'She has to leave.' I thought. 'Do I want that though? I mean I only known this girl for like two months already. She has been there to give me advice. I even stood up for her when her parents were here. I have seen her old life with my own eyes. Now she is leaving…' I thought. My chest to tighten and I felt like telling her to stay. My eyes widen at this. 'No way! Could I actually be… falling in love with her?'

~ Next Day/ School ~

I was sitting at my desk alone like always. The conversation I had with Maka last night was bothering me. 'She really has to leave…' was the only thing going thru my head. I sighed and close my eyes. "I hope she doesn't…" I whispered. "Who doesn't what?" I heard. I looked up to see Kid and Black Star in front of me. "Hey." They both said. "Hi." I replied.

"Who is she?" Black Star said taking a seat next to me. "Huh?"

"Who is this she and what do you not want her to do?" Black Star said again.

"That's none of your business. What else do you guys want?" I said looking away.

"Soul is everything okay?" Kid asked. I looked at him and then Black Star. I sighed.

"I got a question," I started. They both nodded. "If someone told you they could grant you any wish, what would you two wish for?"

"That's so easy," Black Star said. "I would wish to surpass god! To become stronger." He sat there, pleased with what he said.

"I would wish for this world to symmetrical. For everything in this world to be perfect." Kid said after. I nodded. There answer seem stupid to me, but maybe for them it means something. I sighed. 'I have no idea what to wish for…'

During lunch, I sat under the same tree I always have been under. I couldn't decide what to wish for. Do I want to be better at music then Wes? Do I want to stop playing music and do my own thing? I had no idea what to wish for. I sat there deep in thought, till I heard someone call my name. "Soul?" I looked up to see Tsubaki looking at me. "Hey." I said looking away.

"Black Star told me that you were having trouble with something. He said you ask them what they would wish for." She said. 'Those idiots, I can't believe they told. Damn it!' I thought. On the outside I just nodded.

"You said you can see Maka," I started.

"Yes a little bit, I can see and hear her." she replied.

"She told me she could grant me any wish I want. Even if I could or couldn't find my reason, she said she would and I have one month to think about." I said looking at the ground.

"Why just a month?" she asked.

"Because… because… she is… leaving." I finally said. She looked surprised.

"Oh now it makes sense," she said. I looked up to her confused. "She and I were talking this morning, you know like telepathy, and told me she couldn't stay here much longer." I nodded.

"Yeah, that's what she told me too." I clutched some of the grass underneath my hand.

"Are you alright with that?" I heard her ask. I looked up at Tsubaki.

"What do you mean?" I asked. She smiled at me a bit and sighed.

"Are you alright with Maka leaving?" She asked again. My eyes widen at this.

'Am I fine with her leaving? I have gotten used to her being with me that I never thought of the time when will have to go.' I thought.

"Soul," I looked up to Tsubaki. "Good luck with your wish thing. See you later." She said. She smiled and walked off.

"Yeah, see ya." I answered. I looked up to the sky, thoughts still the same. 'Am I fine with her leaving?'

~ At home ~

I was sitting on the roof to above the window to my room. This is where Maka and I have been hanging out sometimes; it's where she could at least come close to being real without anyone noticing. I sat there and empty sheets of music in front of me. I was tapping my pencil on the papers trying to come up with something, but Maka's words were going through my head.

'I can't stay here forever you know. I have to leave eventually. I have to disappear. I have one month.'

I sighed. Do I really want her to leave? Do I want her to stay? She only has a month left here, till she disappears. I looked up to the setting sky. Out of nowhere Maka's face came in front of me.

"Hey Soul!" She said with a smile. It surprised me and I hit her fore head with mine.

"Ow! Damn it." I said rubbing my head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She apologized. I looked at her, she seem fine. She looked like it didn't hurt, nor does she have a mark on her face. 'Why she didn't she feel that pain?' I thought. Before I realized why, she quickly answered

. "It's because I'm dead Soul. I don't feel anything anymore." She looked away.

"Hey, sorry I forgot about that. I guess since I'm always alone, you become almost real, that I think you're alive." I said rubbing my head. She laughed a little.

"I'll never be alive again Soul; I chose this, there no going back." She said and looked up to the sky. We sat there in awkward silence, till I came up with something to talk about.

"Maka," I said. She looked over to me. "What would you wish for; you know if someone would have granted you one in your old life, what would you say?" She sat there for a while and finally spoke.

"To have met you Soul." I sat there, my eyes widen by this.

"Why me?" I asked. She looked back up to the sky.

"I guess because…" she started, then she looked over to me. "You're the first person who ever like me." I sat there surprised. "I know it's wired, but it's true. You are the first person to like. Everyone in my old life hated me. You're like the first friend I have ever had." She smiled at me and turned back to the sky.

'I'm her first friend; I was the first person who ever like her. But who would hate her, she way to nice, sweet, too amazing to be hate by or turned away.' I thought. 'Maybe I… just maybe… I don't know… maybe I do love her.' I looked over to Maka. She didn't seem to pick anything up from that, but then again she could have and now she can't tell me. I can't even tell if she is embarrassed or something because she doesn't have feelings anymore, right? I looked at the empty sheets of music. "Soul," I heard. I looked to Maka. She came over next to me. She then hugged me. I started to blush a little. "Thank you." She said. "What?" I said. "Thank you for everything. I got know what it is like to have a friend. So again, thank you."

I looked over to Maka. She was still hugging me, eyes closed. My guess she was picture what it felt like. I hugged her back. I don't know how, but from her body, I felt warmth, like there was a something alive in her. I then felt electricity because I heard one of the servers call me down for dinner. I looked at Maka, who was transparent and smiled.

I walked down the hall, Maka's words going through my head. 'I'm her first friend. She is my first friend.' I smiled. I sat at the table with the food in front of me. My mother and father were talking about something amazing Wes did. Then it came to me. 'I know what to wish for…'

How was it? I hope it is good. Maka has to leave in one month and Soul knows what to wish for. What do you think his wish would be?
