This chapter took a long time to get up so sorry! This chapter is romance (no not cronaxkid) But it is mainly romance. Just recently I remembered I had a storyline to follow! How weird is that? Ok enjoy!


They all ate in silence.

"Ow!"

Black Star jumped over to Tsubaki. "You okay?"

She smiled. "Yeah I bit my cheek. I'll go to the bathroom and clean up."

Maka looked up. "I will go with you."

They walked to the bathroom. "You ok?"

She leaned over the sink. "Yeah... I just."

"Cramps?"

"No just... I don't feel too good..."

She sat on the edge of the bathtub.

Maka sat next to her. "You going to be okay?"

There was a knock on the door.

Tsubaki looked up as she pulled out her ponytail. "Who is it?"

A very gentle voice replied. "Black Star... can I come in? Are you ok?"

Tsubaki ran her fingers through her hair and smiled. "You can come in."

He opened the door and moved in slowly. His hands were tucked behind him as he bit his lips nervously. "How are you? You guys have been in here a while."

Suddenly his facial expression changed as he took note of her hair being down. It was a look of admiration.

Tsubaki threw her hair back. "I am okay. Do you want to help me?"

She ran her fingers through her hair again. Black Star ran over and sat behind her and started branding her hair. "What happened Tsubaki? You look worse than a bitten cheek..."

She smiled. "Yeah I don't know what is wrong."

"Okay you two. I am going to check on Soul."

She walked to the door leaving the two to them selves. She closed the door quietly and slid her hands down the door. She put her head on the door as she let out a sigh.

"You ok?"

She turned to see a pair of ruby eyes looking at her.

"You don't look to good."

He smiled gently at her.

She smiled. "Tsubaki isn't feeling too good. Black Star is with her."

He changed his look to concern. "What's wrong with her?"

Maka rubber her forehead. "I don't know. She just feels awful. I can't do anything for her."

Soul raised her chin to look at him. He spread his arms out to her.

She tears up and slid her arms around his hips and absorbed into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. "Why are you crying beautiful? It doesn't suit your pretty face."

She ran her fingers down his chest and looked up at him. "All I have done is screw up... I gave you that scar, I sold Lord Death, I can't help anyone... I'm a screw up..."

She had tears running down her face.

He smiled at her. "My scar is from saving you. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have your now. That would have killed me more than that sword."

She ran her fingers up His body tracing the scar. He grabbed her hands. She looked up into his eyes that were now filled with care. He raised her hands and put them around his shoulders and put his around her waist.

He pulled her closer. She melted into him. He slid his head down onto her shoulder. "I suppose we should move away from the door..."

She giggled into his chest. He leaned over and picked her up. "Soul!"

He smiled and started walking away from the bathroom. She looked at his eyes as he looked down at her. "Maka."

"Yeah?"

He looked up. "Thanks."

She wrapped her arms around his neck better. "For?"

He stopped and looked down at her. "For being my meister. For accepting me... even if I am a dick..."

She smiled and set her head on his chest. "Thank you too."

He started moving again. "For?"

She smiled. "For letting me be your meister. And dealing with me."

He smirked. "It wouldn't be cool not to. And there is nothing to deal with."

She sighed into his chest.

He stopped at the edge of a couch.

Maka slid her feet down. Soul spun around and flopped onto the couch spinning Maka down right next to him. She sat froze for a second. He smiled at her and put his arm around her squeezing her close. She tilted her back to him taking his hand.

He breathed into her hair. "How long do you think they will be in there?"

She yawned and snuggled up. "Dont know. Wake me when they do?"

He smirked and snuggled into her as well. "Sure."

And with that she fell asleep.


Black Star was braiding her hair slowly. "Are you sure you are okay?"

Tsubaki smiled. "Yes. You must not worry about me so much."

He slid the ponytail off her wrist and tied her hair. "I have to."

He slid down onto the floor in front of her. Tsubaki turned to look at him.

"Yeah I know. But you could just accept that one day, you won't be there."

He looked down at the floor. "I always will. I won't ever let anything happen to you. I won't have anything going for me then if you die..."

She slipped off the edge onto the floor in front of him. "Tsubaki!"

She started laughing. "Oh really Black Star... you worry too much."

She leaned up against the bathtub. Black Star moved over and sat next to her.

"I really care about you Tsubaki. More than you know."

She turned looked at him. He looked completely absorbed into her. "Black Star..."

He jumped forward and wrapped his arms around her. "Please don't ever let yourself get hurt! You are all I have and I love you Tsubaki! I love you!"

He was crying into her as he slumped down onto her lap. She stroked his head. "Black Star. Please don't cry. It isn't like you to cry."

He looked up at her and moved two inches from her face. "I love you Tsubaki."

She looked into his deep green eyes. "Black Star...I-"

Her thoughts were cut off by his lips. Black Star leaned into her and wrapped his arms around her. It wasn't one of those kisses where the guy is blatantly being rough and lustful. This was a genuine kiss. One she could tell meant he cared. Black Star backed up.

"I'm sorry Tsubaki..."

She smiled and pulled him in again. They both embraced each other. After about seven seconds they both pulled away. "I love you too Black Star."

Tsubaki suddenly started twirling her head around and passed out onto Black Star's lap. "Tsubaki!"

He rubbed her back and held her there. She suddenly clicked back up.

"Tsubaki!"

She scoffed at him. "I told you it was Tsunaka."

Black Star stood up. "Stay back. Keep away from me. I don't know who you are or why you want me to believe your little stories."

She pouted. "Stories Black Star? Is that all you think they are? That doesn't seem right."

Black Star growled at her. "Stories is all they are. Please give me back my Tsubaki. Please."

She placed her hand on her chest. "I told you it is me. Don't you believe me?"

Black Star clenched his fist. "Please. Leave me alone."

She turned her back to him. "Hm... I don't know.. you are pushing your love away."

"You are far from Tsubaki. She would never do this to me."

She raised her hand in pause. "Tsunaka."

He threw his hands up in disgust. "What do you want from me?"

She turned around. "Well, I want you. I want you to believe me."

She ran her fingers across his neck. "Is that so much to ask?"

He swatted her hand away.

"Hey! Hit me you hit Tsubaki."

He yanked his hand back to his side. "Don't touch me."

"Oh please Black Star. Don't you want to know your name?"

She moved forward and rubbed her fingers along his color bone.

"I could tell you what it is."

She ran her hand down his arm. "You are so much stronger than you used to be."

He sighed in hatred.

"So you want to know?"

She toyed the tip of her tongue across her teeth.

"I want to know where Tsubaki is. What did you do to her?"

She traced his star tattoo perfectly without looking at it. "You know, I gave this to you. When you were almost dead."

He pulled his shoulder away from her. "How do I switch back to Tsubaki?"

She smiled. "Well, if you kiss her, you get me. So you can't show her love... but if you want Tsubaki back, you have to hurt me. But Tsubaki will get hurt. Or just wait for me to wear off."

He growled. "I can't stand you."

She smiled. "I could stand you forever."

She giggled as. She moved up to his face. "There is one more way to switch us."

He moved his gaze down to her. "What is that?"

She tip toed to his ears. "You have to kiss me. But every time you kiss me, you grow more fond of me and less fond of her."

"I would rather wait than fall in love with a bitch like you."

She pulled away from him. Her eyes black. "You will learn to love me."

She flipped the braid. "Want to know your name or not."

He sighed. "Sure. What is it."

She smiled. "Sedwin. Sedwin Flask."

Black Star felt a jolt of pain shoot through his head. It was over quickly. "Ok. Whatever. We are leaving out of the bathroom."

They stepped out to see Maka asleep in Soul's arms. Soul was looking up at us. "Maka."

Her eyes opened up. "What is it Soul?"

He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "They are out."

She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked up and jumped.

"What is it Maka?"

She pointed at Tsunaka. "You! What do you want?"

Tsunaka smiled. "Hi Maka. Nice to see you too."
