Maka lay awake that night, listening to Patti's cute snores and Liz's random sleep talk. She couldn't get to sleep, both boys plaguing her mind in different ways. Getting over Soul was going to be hard, but she would do it. As for Black Star, he was a new breed of animal she had yet to figure out. The excitement about being his girlfriend gave her butterflies, simply from the thought. She supposed why she couldn't get Soul off her mind, is because of the way he had ignored her until she was taken and then confessed that he was in love with her.

She scoffs "Tch, liar.''

Eventually her mind ceased to be so busy and she fell into a light sleep, where even her dreams were consumed by them.

Black Star, had decided he had to talk to Soul, about Maka. Granted, he wouldn't bring up how he had watched his best friend ignore and obliviously torture Maka. No, instead he ask ...no demand that Soul step off his girlfriend. Maka was his, and like hell he'd even let his best bro check her out...especially after what said 'bro' had done. Growling at the memory of all those lonely and tear filled nights for Maka, it just made him feel even more protective of her. No one would hurt her anymore, not her man whore father, not her forever traveling abroad mother, not her stupid ass partner, no one.

Soul, sat on the couch deciding how he was going to woo Tsubaki. A wicked grin on his face, thinking about his plan to get back at Black Star, and deciding to keep up his friendship as if nothing was bothering him,...he remember a phrase he liked to live by when it suited him,,..'Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer'. Oh this was going to be good, the little demon in his head was grinning manically and giggling madly. The insanity warping Soul's senses, as the black blood flowed and swirled in his mind.

"Oh yes...so good."
