Black*Star: HEY! -

Soul: Cuz I can.
Maka: Makaa CHOP!
Soul: * gets chopped by Maka * AGH! WHAT THE H*LL WAS THAT FOR!
Maka: Soul, you know how I feel when you use the wrong grammer.
Soul: Ha, I should be the one hitting you. You're the one who spelled grammar wrong.

Chapter 10: Maka's last words?
Normal POV_
Soul sat on the other side of Maka's bed staring at her as she slept. He watched her as she tossed and turned. The evening was slowly sweeping into night. Blaire sat on the other side of the room talking to Andy. Soul tried not to eavesdrop, but it was hard not to when they were right on the other side of the room.
"Andy, I just, I'm so sorry..." Blaire said.
"It's fine, Blaire, really," he whispered softly, "I'm alive and well, everything's gonna be ok... I promise." Andy reached his hand over and grasped hers gently. Blaire stared into his promising, blue eyes feeling safe and content.
"But..." she stuttered as his hand stroked her cheek, getting rid of a tear, "What about... Maka-chan?"
"Maka?" Andy asked quietly, looked over to the girl who lied beside him, and looked back at Blaire, "She'll be fine. They'll fix her up."
"How can you be so sure?" she asked.
"I know, Blaire, she has to get better eventually. She's still alive, I'm still alive..." Andy took a deep breath, "It's all gonna be ok."
"I love you Andy," Blaire smiled.
"I love you too Blaire," Andy pulled her into a hug.
Soul longed to have a conversation like this with Maka. His eyes trailed up and down her body. They were going to get married in a few months, and yet she was treating him so coldly. He kept going back to their last conversation. When he tried to kiss her, she pulled away. She almost looked disgusted. Did he have something in his cute shark teeth of his? Was she really just too tired to kiss him, or did something happen back at the alley? Soul knew that when he hit her, he thought it was Kita, Blaire's sister, but when he heard Maka's cry, he almost lost his mind.
"What am I supposed to do?" Soul accidentally asked out loud.
Blaire looked over at him and asked, "Soul-kun, are you alright?"
Soul looked up and stuttered, "Y- yeah... I'm fine..." D*mn... Did I really just stutter? Not cool, he thought to himself as he looked back down at Maka.
Blaire strolled over to Soul and sat down on the floor next to him. Soul turned his head to look at her, and then he looked down at his knees and sighed.
"Are you sure Soul-kun? You look kinda tired," Blaire said.
"No, I'm alright," he said as he faked a smile.
Blaire frowned.
"What?" Soul asked.
"I can tell something's up. So tell me," Blaire said, "Nothing's gonna get better if you don't let it out."
D*mn, she's right, Soul thought to himself.
He sighed, "Alright fine... I'm just worried about Maka... It feels like she's avoiding me."
"What? How?" Blaire asked.
"Well, whenever I try to make eye contact with her she looks away, and a few hours ago before she fell asleep... I tried to ... well..." Soul said.
"Kiss her?" Blaire guessed.
"Yeah... but then she got all... flustered... and I... I just don't know what to do," he replied.
"Soul-kun," Blaire patted his back, "She's probably got a lot on her mind right now. She just needs her space, that's all. She still loves you."
"... Yeah, I guess it wasn't really cool of me to do that to her when she just got in the hospital..." Soul said.
Blaire smiled, "Well, it's pretty late. We should all get some rest now."
"Yeah... night," Soul replied.
"Night," she smiled as she walked back over to Andy.
Soul stared at Maka. Her chest heaved up and down slowly. He smiled, lied down on the uncomfy mattress, and eventually fell asleep.
In Death-Scythe Jet Plane ~~~ Normal POV_
It was getting close to night when Spirit and Kami boarded the Death-Scythe jet plane.
"So," Kami said as she sat down, "Are you excited to see Maka?"
Spirit looked at her, "Of course I am."
She smiled and looked out the window. He took the seat beside hers and asked, "Are you excited to see Paris?"
She looked at him and smirked, "I already have."
"Really? Where else have you gone without me?" Spirit asked.
"Oh, a lot of places. Some days were better than others," she smiled.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked.
"You just did," she said.
"You're to smart for me," he laughed.
She smiled, "Yeah, sure."
"Well... I was wondering... Did you ever think of me when you were gone?" Spirit asked.
She played with her hair a bit before answering, "Well... Yeah. It's kinda hard not to..."
Spirit smiled.
"Though most of the time I was blowing you up in my head," she answered honestly.
"Aw come on!" Spirit said.
She laughed and pushed him playfully, "But let's not dwell on the past, ok? It's not cool."
"Alright," he smiled.
Midnight ~~~ In the hospital ~~~ Normal POV_
It was dark in the hospital room. Nothing but the faint sound of beeping was heard in the room. Andy and Blaire were fast asleep. Soul woke up a few minutes before because of a nightmare and was then staring at the ceiling. Maka lied on her bed with her eyes closed. A minute passed. Maka's eyes slowly opened. There was only one word on her mind, and she was determined to say it.
"S- Soul." she stuttered. Soul immediately got up and stared down at her.
"Maka, you're awake?" Soul asked.
She nodded slowly.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
She shook her head no.
"What's wrong Maka?" he asked nervously.
"I- I..." Maka tried to speak, "I... can't ..."
Soul stared down at her anxiously.
"J- just ... don't... don't trust... anybody... ok S- Soul?" she said.
Soul could only nod.
"N- not e- even m- me... B- be ... strong..." Maka stuttered.
"M- Maka?" Soul leaned in closer.
Maka whispered, "I believe in you... I ... love ... you..." Her left hand, shaking, touched his cheek, and then fell limp. Her eyes closed slowly.
"Maka?" Soul asked, "Maka, can you hear me?" His hands cupped her cheeks. His heart pounded. He began to sweat as he pulled her close to him. He held her tightly and tried to fight back his tears as he slowly drifted into sleep.
In Death-Scythe Jet Plane ~~~ 8:35 PM ~~~ Normal POV_
Spirit and Kami got off the jet and went into the Death-Scythe mansion in Paris.
"I know I've been here before, but it's just so beautiful!" Kami said as she looked out the window and marveled at the sight.
Spirit chuckled under his breath and said, "We'll find Maka tomorrow. It's too late to go now."
Kami nodded and walked over to him.
"Thanks," she smiled, kissed him on his cheek, and walked up the stairs and into the room.
Spirit smirked and opened a bottle of beer absent-mindedly. He suddenly looked down at it. Then he picked it up and dumped it all in the sink.
"I will change for you Kami... If beer isn't gonna help our relationship, then I don't need it." he said quietly to himself.
Spirit put his hands in his pockets and walked up the stairs. He entered a bedroom and found Kami fast asleep. A smile crept on his face as he took of his shirt and slipped under the covers. His hands wrapped around Kami's waste and pulled her closer to him.
She gave a small smile and scooted in closer to him. For once in her life, she actually felt safe. They both fell asleep with good dreams.
MusicMaker87: Hmmm... I wonder what will happen next? :3
Soul: I don't really like this story any more... Tell me what's wrong with Maka.
MusicMaker87: No can do! Sorry Soul, but you'll have to wait and find out!
Soul: -_-
Maka: zzzzzz
Soul: Maka? Are you ok?
Maka: W- what?
Soul: ... Are you alright?
Maka: Yeah I'm fine. Why'd you wake me up?
Soul: YOU'RE OK!
Maka: Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?
Soul: Uh...
Liz: Looks like Soul lost his cool for a second there.
Patty: Oh no! I'll help you find it Soul!
Blaire: Me too! Wait.. find what?
Soul: I didn't lose my cool Liz.
Liz: Suree..
Soul: Ugh. Whatever...
MusicMaker87: Oh, Soul. You're so special...
Soul: Um. Thanks?
MusicMaker87: haha, no problem. Well, on to the next chapter, my good people!
