Maka

"The cruelest man wandering the country:" Nygus looked Maka in the eyes. "Kai." Maka looked at her in horror.

Kai, the name of the boy who went insane and started killing literally anyone and everyone in his way, or if he simply felt like it.

"He did it? Kai?"
"We don't know for sure, but there are reports of him attacking people with the same type of gas used on Kid."
"But I thought you said all the information you had."
"There were a few details I left out."
"Like what else?" Maka said, crossing her arms.
"Kai's DNA can't be found anywhere, we mysteriously never found any traces of DNA where the should be some, so we don't even know what his DNA is like."
"So how are we going to find out who did it?"
"Well, you can find out if Kai did it, or at least try."
"Me? How?"
"Find Gopher, he may know."
"Right." Maka then ran off, to the unknown, leaving Soul and the rest of her friends.

Gopher

At long last, the rain stopped, and so did Gopher. He opened up the diary, looking through the pages, luckily, most of the pages remained in tact, and the only ones with missing words were the ones falling out, turning into paper mush.

Gopher looked up to the cloudy sky, searching for the sun, but it was out of reach, he couldn't see it beyond the ominous, gray clouds. He began to fly this time, looking for Kai.

Hours in the sky passed, as he was running out of energy. The sun was soon setting, and Gopher was about to pass out.

"I can't give up… Not now…" He repeated, motivating himself in face of exhaustion. The dark, starless sky made him feel lonelier, and the cold weakened him. He did his best to stay awake, but he found himself dozing off.

He dropped down to the ground to set up a camp out of the little he had. His departure was an impulse, so he had absolutely no resources. Hungry and cold, he slept under the leaves of a short tree. He laid there alone, looking up at the sky through the green canopy.

The sun began to rise to yet another rainy day, so he continued on foot to keep the book safe. He knew he was near where Kai should be, all he hoped was that Kai was still there, and that Noah was out so Gopher wouldn't be caught.

He finally arrived, ever so slightly soaked and trailing water everywhere. He stood at the door of the abandoned church and ever so carefully creaked open the door. The room was dark, darker than the outside, and the faint light flooded the main room. The dim light slammed against every wall, and there stood Kai, in the center of the room.

Maka

She was running for quite awhile. In search of Gopher and answers, she refused to stop. It was mid-day and stormy, but she disregarded it all. If it lead to know what happened to Kid, she didn't care.

She wasted seconds, minutes, hours looking for Gopher, forgetting the fact that he could've been in another country by then.

But by some miracle, there he was, soaked and notably thinner. He stumbled along, almost as if he were drunk.

Maka rushed up to him. She quickly grabbed him, and despite her hopes and anger, she hugged him.

"Where have you been?" She forgot the diary, the information; all she wanted now was her friend's security.

"Gone," he answered, short of breath.


WOW! I'm surprised you're all still here! Mainly because I was thinking of taking this down seven chapters ago, but, umm, uhhh... yeah...

Sorry it's so short, I wanted to get something out and part two is getting pretty long... That and my brain hurts so much from finals.

That hug is a friendly one by the way, the main ship (You'll see shortly) is still Kid and Maka... ._.

Anyways, thank you for reading and I'll see you next chapter!

(Hey Courage-Earthworm'8, I squeezed a hug in for you.)
