I've been really bad on updates lately. I apologize.

"What's happening?" Tsubakis voice trembled. Once again she was in the infirmary, watching over her friend.

"Stein!" Nygus called out into the hall for the professor. He rushed in moments later, his white lab coat flowing behind him. The gray haired man stopped dead in his tracks at the sight in front if him. Black magic and insanity crackled in the air like static. It snapped at the lights and jars, shattering glass and sending out showers of electricity. The magic ricocheted off the walls and back towards the center of the room where Soul and Maka lay motionless.

"What happened, Nygus?" The professor shrugged off his coat and walked towards the young Meister and weapon pair.

"I'm not sure. One second I'm filling out forms and next thing I know she's sparking like there's no tomorrow!" Nygus shouted over the wind that was picking up in the small room. It was like a tornado, silencing her words and flinging things through the air. Tsubakis lips moved, but no sound was heard. A monitor lifted into the air and threatened to be flung about, but as quickly as it was lifted it fell. The room became silent and it was verybunsettling. There hair settled back into place and time seemed to restart. The sound of birds chirped and the voices of happy students filtered into the room.

"What was that?" Tsubakis face was filled with worry, uncertainty shaking in her voice. She glanced her weary eyes up and they set into steel grey. Stein walked over and checked both Maka and Souls pulse. He reset the machines and scrawled down a few things on a clipboard that had landed by the foot of the bed.

"They are coming to a turning point."

"Maka..." Soul trailed off. What had she done?

"Soul, I..." Her throat became dry and her voice cracked. Makas palms began to sweat and an intense pain filled her head. She stumbled forward, clutching at her temples. She held her skull tightly in fear it would break open. She could hear muffled voices, but they were so far away. It was like she had plunged underwater and couldn't resurface. Deeper and deeper she sunk, madness engulfing her and pressing the air from her lungs.

"You are mine." Medusa appeared in front of her, golden eyes glowing in the dark. Maka could see the womans purple soul illuminate her body, her own smaller blue one shining brightly. As the woman drew closer, the two orbs morphed, forming a larger indigo ball. It bobbed up and down, wings spread and arrows swirling around it. Medusa grabbed her hand and the orb burst. White edged at her vision, making it impossible to see. She coughed a few times as a pressure was lifted from her chest and her ears popped.

Beep beep beep

What was that sound? Maka attempted to lift her head, but found she couldn't. All she could do was lay there and listen to the relentless beeping and the she noticed something, or rather someone. She could feel him next to her. His hair, tickling her arm, his skin, warm and soft, his breath, cool and rhythmical. Always steady and calming. His head lifted, and the warmth left her side.

"Maka?" He whispered, tenderly shaking her arm. She slid one eye open and smiled.

"Hey." His face filled with joy and something she couldn't quite place.

"Don't ever do anything like that again. It was so uncool." She laughed and slowly sat up.

"Sorry..." She looked in his eyes and found herself leaning in.

"I though I was going to lose you." Her forehead touched his.

"I would never leave you, Soul." Her voice was barely a whisper as Souls eyes flickered. He took a slow breath and hesitantly closed the space between them. At first it was slightly awkward as their mouths worked against each other, but soon they moved in harmony. She pulled away, breathing hard and cheeks red. Maka could see a tinge of pink on Souls face also.

"Maka, I love you."

Short pathetic chapter is short and pathetic. I've been so awfully lazy and I'm SORRY! I have lost inspiration... Need. Inspiration! I have not updated anything. Bleh. Please don't kill me! At least you all know I'm not dead or in a comatose state. I've had a lot going on (school, dance, F-ing friend drama, health issues. You know, all that great stuff) review please
