Well here is the next chapter you have all been waiting on! Thanks to Knight Darkwolf for the ideas that keep me going with the story or else I would probably have writers block since my mind is already being burned to a pulp from school . I do not own Soul Eater sadly L and Please Review!
Maka had two bags packed. One with plenty of clothes and the other filled with the books she absolutely couldn't part with. Sighing she waited to hear from Marie. She would talk with Kid before leaving. Soul's motorcycle was still here, and Maka knew he would have wanted her to have it. Anyone else would have been too 'uncool.' She gave a wry smile and looked around the apartment. This would the last time she would look at it for a long time.
"Hiya Maka!" A bubbly voice sounded from the mirror. Maka jumped and turned to see Shinigami-sama.
"Oh hello sir. Can I help you?" Maka asked hoping he wouldn't see the bags. He must not have.
"Maka I have an assignment for you! I would like you to go to Ohio and help train at the new school there. It was just built so they need volunteers, and help to recruit and find new students." Shinigami replied.
"Oh I see. Of course sir I'll leave right away." Maka smiled. This made things so much easier."And there will be winter clothes provided for you since you will probably be there for about a year or so. Until they get enough teachers to train the students." Maka nodded. Hopefully it won't be too cold there since she wouldn't be used to the cold. (By the way Ohio is friggin cold in the winter! .) Lord Death said goodbye and disappeared from the screen. Maka got ready then grabbed her bags and went outside to the motorcycle. She put them in the side bags and hopped on. She would make a quick stop by Marie's then she would be on her way.
She arrived at Marie and Stein's house and climbed off the motorcycle. Taking off the helmet she walked up to the door.
"Hello Maka dear what brings you here?" Marie asked kindly. She then saw the motorcycle and bags standing behind her and looked confused.
"Hi Ms. Marie. Can I come in? I wanted to talk to you about something." Maka replied. Marie nodded and let her in.
"So what's up Maka?" Marie asked as the two sat down.
"Well… Shinigami-sama assigned me a mission. I wanted to know what you thought." Marie looked serious at this.
"Maka I wouldn't do it. I don't want you to risk hurting the baby." Maka thought about this.
'If I go to Ohio, whether or not Marie agrees, I can live there…since there will be an academy there…hmm..' Maka thought.
"I can take it easy and then rest once I get farther along. I can still help teach there. I'm close to graduation anyway." Maka replied. Marie looked apprehensive.
"Well…I suppose…but for this allowance Shinigami may have to find out…" Marie said quietly. Maka froze and felt her heart drop. She didn't want Kid to know let alone his father! She began to chew her lip trying to figure out what to do.
"I'll tell you what Maka" Marie began "I wont tell him. I'll let you tell him when it gets closer. Okay?" Maka felt an enormous weight lift.
"Thank you Marie. I really appreciate everything you've done for me." Maka smiled at the motherly women.
"Now" Marie smiled warmly at Maka " since you're here how about we go ahead and give you a quick check up." Maka nodded and followed Marie to the examination table.
Stein looked at Kid and saw that he was finally awake.
"Morning sleepy head. You look a lot better. Now you don't look like you're trying to live up to your name." Stein chuckled before lighting up a cigarette. Kid managed a small smile that looked more like a grimace.
"How long…was I out?" Kid mumbled. He felt the bandages around his middle and winced. He remembered what happened now. He sighed and looked around. He was surprised to see a little boy standing by the doorway. He saw his hero looking at him and smiled, running up to him.
"Excuse me sir but there's no smoking in the hospital." A young nurse said in English with a heavy Spanish accent.
"Fine." Stein sighed and rolled his eyes then put the unlit cigarette behind his ear. The nurse nodded in approval and left. He looked over at Kid and saw Raulo attempting to crawl onto the bed with Kid.
"I should be fine by tomorrow or so, with my Shinigami powers that is." Kid said tiredly. He looked over and patted Raulo's head.
"How did he get here anyway?" Kid questioned. Stein shrugged his shoulders.
"He said his mom brought him. He must have been driving her nuts so she just brought him." Spirit answered. Raulo seemed to know they were talking about him because he looked up and giggled.
"You just like getting into trouble don't you?" Justin said walking into the room. Raulo looked at him and smiled. He had taken a shine to Justin as well as Kid.
"Well we might as well stay here until Kid's better then we can move on. Kid glanced at Raulo. He had grown fond of the young boy, but knew that he would have to leave eventually. Kid had a sudden thought. He would leave the boy with a picture and write to him. He smiled at Raulo who smiled back, uninterested in the adults speaking. He asked the boy, in Spanish, if he would like him to write letters. Raulo eagerly responded, shaking his head rapidly all the while giggling. Stein glanced at Kid and shook his head.
"Does that sound okay Kid?" Stein asked, positive that he hadn't been paying attention.
"Sounds good. I only wish I could heal faster so we can finish this mission faster." Kid replied. Spirit laughed at Stein's face when Kid answered.
"Careful senpai we wouldn't want you to end up all stitched up…again…" Stein glared at his scythe. Justin gave a small smirk at the look of horror on Spirit's face.
'Oh…those horrible…horrible memories..' Spirit thought with a shudder. Kid smirked also. Raulo then proceeded to poke him until Kid finally turned his attention back to the boy. Raulo handed Kid a drawing. Kid smiled and patted his head, even though it wasn't symmetrical. It was a stick figure with black hair, Kid, shooting light at a black stick figure with a frowny face, wild hair, and black scribbled all around her. Kid presumed the scrubbles were her cloak. And standing behind stick figure Kid was a shorter stick figure with a smiley face, Raulo.
"Gracias Raulo." Kid smiled and ruffled his hair. Raulo then proceeded to talk Kid to death.
"We're going to go to the hotel across the street. Call if you need us." Stein said. Kid nodded and watched them leave. Before they left thought Spirit called for Raulo.
"C'mon lets go. You can come see him later. Your mother wants to go back to the hotel too Raulo. The boy looked from Spirit to Kid. Kid translated what Spirit said. The little boy frowned and clutched Kid's bed sheet, not wanting to leave. Kid patted his head and told him to go, and he'd be here later. Raulo lifted his arms up. Kid complied and leaned over, wincing in the process, and gave him a small hug. He then followed Spirit out, but not before grabbing his hand and glancing at Kid one more time. Kid waved to him and then they left. Shortly after a nurse came in to check his bandages. Kid grit his teeth but the nurse had said it looked a lot better. The nurse gave Kid a bit of pain medicine, then left.
Meanwhile Maka was on the road, ready to start her new life. She knew she could trust Marie and Tsubaki. She gunned the engine, willing it to go a bit faster. She wanted to at least get to the state border before stopping for rest.
So how was it? Was it worth the wait? I'm always open to reviews. Thanks for reading! :D
