Maka's Resolve

Soul's POV

Right when we got back to the DWMA, Maka had collapsed. We took her straight to the nurse's office. Right when we got her settled Lord Death wanted to see us. We already knew what to expect.

"How dare you disobey an order I had given you. I specifically said no one was to go after Ravenna and her group!" Lord Death shouted.

"Yes father, but you Maka technically isn't a part of their group," Kid said.

"You know what I meant! You should all be expelled!" He yelled and we thought he was going to hit us.

"However, you did save a DWMA student and a friend, so I will allow this one to slid, but you will all have to report on what has happened today understand?" He asked.

We nodded and left the room. We went back to check on Maka. We saw Professor Stein talking to her and we hid behind the door listening.

"Professor I have a question to ask," She said.

"If you're asking if you still have the black blood you do, but noting to serious sense you did fight the madness," He replied.

"No it's not that, even when I didn't have the black blood I could still hear voices in my mind and there were these weird symbols on me that I saw. I mean I feel like something within me has changed since Ravenna came and I'm afraid I might hurt everyone,"

"I honestly don't know what has changed within you. Your soul wavelength seems to have changed a little, but nothing else seems changed,"

"Then I have one more question for you. Can I not wield Soul in his weapon form with the black blood in me? Ravenna said if I was to wield him, he would go as insane as I was,"

"Yes, until we know more than what she said is true,"

I saw Maka's hand go into a fist and I saw Professor Stein silent and I could see the frustration in her eyes. Then we decided to come in and she noticed us and smiled. I knew she was faking it though. After Maka was released I had to take her home. She started to avoid anything that had to do with Ravenna. I could still tell she was still in shock over the whole thing.

Once we got home everyone surprised her with a welcome home party. I could see that she was happy, but still upset. I pulled her away for a moment and I talked to her one on one.

"What's wrong Soul are you not enjoying the party?" She asked laughing.

"I am, but are you truly having fun?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I know when you lie Maka and I know you're not happy. Face it Maka your avoiding the whole thing with Ravenna, but you know it's still bothering you,"

"Just stop Soul let's talk about this later and just have fun ok. Just give me tonight not to worry about anything ok. We'll talk about this tomorrow, for now let's go back to the party and have fun,"

I nodded and she smiled and pulled me back to the party . . .

Maka's POV

After the chat with Soul I resumed back to the party and just had fun. There was delicious food to eat and some good music. I didn't think of anything about Ravenna and just had fun. After a while my head began to hurt a little.

"You can never run away from me . . ." Ravenna said.

I knew it was Ravenna. No matter what I can't just have a normal day off. After everyone left I went to take a shower. I let the cold water run down me and I felt tears fall. I want all of this to disappear.

Soul's POV

I knocked on the bathroom door and heard nothing. I went in and I saw Maka step out of the shower and she screamed a grabbed her towel quickly and I closed the door. I quickly went to my room and sighed. I was shocked to see the cut from the time Maka saved me was a scar. I felt angry that I couldn't protect her when she was in so much pain. I saw her open my door and I could tell she was mad.

"You have five seconds to tell me why you were peaking in the shower when I was in there! I mean you didn't even knock!" She yelled.

"I did knock, you just didn't answer and besides when were you going to tell me you have a scar?" I asked.

"You looked! Soul you pervert!" She was about to hit me until I grabbed her hand.

"We need to talk,"

"Yes we do, there needs to be some boundaries . . ."

"No about Ravenna,"

"I'm not talking about her ok,"

"I heard what you said in the nurse's office with Professor Stein. If you were feeling this way why didn't you talk to me about it? I'm your partner,"

"It has nothing to do with you ok now let go!"

"It does have to do with me. Maka I don't care if the black blood goes into me while you're wielding me. I'm your partner and will go through whatever you go through. We'll get through it together,"

I saw her calm herself down. I let go of her hand she walked to her room and I followed behind. She sighed and then turned and faced me.

"Your right and I'm sorry. You're my partner and I can rely on you. Well it's getting late I'm going to be so good night," She said.

"Good night" I said and she closed her door.

Maka's POV

I began to have a dream when I went to sleep. I was in the same outfit as always and in the same room and no surprise I was in my mind again with a surprise guess.

"I see you had fun tonight at your little party, did you have fun?" Raven asked.

"I did for once and I finally felt relaxed without the madness. You could too if you just leave Ravenna," I said.

"I told you already that I can't leave,"

"Why not?"

"Why the sudden interest we are enemies not friends, don't forget that,"

"Come on Raven I know you hate it there. I know this isn't what you want and I still don't believe you were pretending to be my friend. Besides you let me go when you could have made me stay, so there must be a reason why you helped me,"

"It doesn't matter what my reasoning was, but if I were you I would be carful. Many things are about to change and Ravenna know you will go back to her one way or another. Like you I hold many secrets which make me a threat to you. Like how I was able to hide my madness when I was your friend,"

"You admit it that we are friends!"

I saw him go quite and he got up from where he sat and he walked closer to me as I hit the back of the wall. We were so close that it made me blush.

"It would be best if you just accept what will happen to you and go back to Ravenna," Raven spoke.

"I'm afraid I can't do that," I replied.

"Then there is nothing left to discuss," He said walking about the door of my mind.
