Again, I would like to thank everybody else who reviewed, followed and favourited 'My Angel' since the last time I said my thanks. Thank you so much! I love you guys :)

"Albarn? You're last name is Albarn?" Liz asked, her expression grim. "Yes... is something wrong?" Maru asked, looking at the sad expressions of the three in front of her.

"Albarn is the last name of our friend..." Kid stopped. Maru stared at Kid's face for a while before her expression slowly changed. "T-This friend... I-It was M-Maka wasn't it?" Maru's eyes held tears as she looked down at her hands. Their silence gave her their answer. "I-I remember her now..." Tears fell.

"J-Just a question..." Maru said, after a while of silence. "Did y-you think I was h-her or something...?" She asked awkwardly, wiping her tears. "We suspected it. You have the same scar she has." Patty said quietly. "And when I found you, you were injured in the same spot Maka was... impaled." Patty winced. Maru looked down. "I-I'm not sure... When you found me I randomly started bleeding from my chest... and when I was thrown out, the pain felt like a stab wound..." She furrowed her brows.

"And what about the one above your eye?" Liz asked. Maru raised a hand to her scar, pulling her hair away. "We got it on the same day actually..."

"How exactly did you both get one in the same spot?" Kid asked. Maru laughed weakly. "We were playing darts with our cousin, when I accidently hit Maka with a dart." Maru frowned. "She had to get stiches. I felt... terrible. So... I grabbed a dart and did the same to myself." Maru rested her head in her hands. "It hurt like hell... So I always thought Maka would hate me after that. But she never did..."

Liz and Patty patted her shoulders, while Kid stared at her with a pained smile. "But..." Kid's smile faded slightly. "Recently... Two months ago I've started hearing voices... and my scar started to hurt..." Maru traced the small scar.

"Voices?" Liz questioned. "They kept telling me to go somewhere... on her... birth..." Maru's head bolted up, and she jumped out of the covers. "I have to go somewhere!" Maru said, looking around franticly, before realizing she wasn't wearing her clothes, but a hospital gown. She blushed, and grabbed the blanket, covering herself. "W-Where are my clothes?"

Patty pointed to a closet. Maru grabbed her clothes before going into the washroom. After a few minutes of silence, Maru came out wearing the clothes Patty bought her. "Y-You guys were friends with Maka right?" The three nodded. "Than would you like to come with me? These voices... They sounded like her."

After a while of trying to convince the nurse to let Maru go normally, they had to have Kid tell the nurse who he was to let Maru out. "So where are we headed?" Patty asked. Maru thought back. "Remember the forest from when we were attacked?" Maru asked them.

"Yeah, why? Do we need to go there?" Liz asked, as they all hopped into Kid's car. "Is there a shrine or temple of somesort in the forest?" Maru asked, buckling her seatbelt. "Yes. There's an old temple somewhere in the middle." Kid answered, driving out of the hospital parking lot. "Go there," Maru said. "Please..."

The three laughed, while Maru looked out of the window. She had to know what these voices meant, and if they were her sister'.

When they got to the forest, Maru bolted out, and ran into the forest, not waiting for Kid, Liz or Patty. Although, it didn't take long for them to catch up. "Do you know where you're going?!" Liz asked, raising her voice. "I'll explain later!" Maru replied, before picking up her speed.

Patty laughed, and nearly tackled Liz. Kid rolled eyes eyes, staring ahead. Soon, an old wooden shrine came into view. Maru literally bolted into the front door, not bothering to wait for the three, again.

When Kid, Liz and Patty caught up, Maru was already halfway down the hallway that lead to the bigger part of the building. Kid stared a Maru for a while, before he saw something.

"Wait!" The girls stopped to look at the young Shinigami. "Maru you have soul perception right?" Kid asked. Maru nodded. "Look at your soul." Maru did, and was in amazement. Her soul, which was normally just a soul with wings, had now huge wings and was glowing brightly. "What?" Liz asked, staring at Maru.

"I see wings! Ru-chan has wings!" Patty exclaimed, looking closely at Maru. Liz stared for a few more seconds before it becamer clearer. "You do..." She muttered. Maru was now grinning. "Let's go!" Maru said, turning to walk down the rest of the hallway. Kid, Liz and Patty followed, slightly distracted by the bright light emanating from Maru.

When they got to the main building, they nearly bumped into Maru, who had paused at the door. There was a white silhouette with wings standing in the middle of the worn out room. "It's... an angel..." Maru mumbled, staring in awe. The white figure turned its head at the four.

Another figure appeared behind it. A black figure with a white skull mask. "Father?" Kid asked, his eyebrows raising. "Hi!" Lord Death said, putting up a comically huge peace sign. "What are you doing here?" Kid questioned.

"Well, he is explaining where I've been this whole time." The white figure said. Kid, Liz and Patty's eyes widened when they heard her voice. "After all, it is kind of a long story." The white figure looked at Maru. "I haven't seen you in years..." She mumbled, walking towards Maru.

Maru, who was now crying, looked at the glowing angel. "I missed you..." She mumbled, tears cascading down her cheeks. "M-Maka..." Maru finally burst into sobs, crying into the angel's shoulder.

Slowly, the glow dissipated from the girl's body, revealing a ashy blonde girl with emerald green eyes, her bright wings surrounding her.. Kid, Liz and Patty were even more shocked now, if possible. "M-Maka?" Patty said. "B-But we saw t-the video... y-you were dead!" Patty was crying now too, but she was smiling. Maru's sobs were still heard. "I'll explain later. But right now..." Maru moved away from Maka's now drenched shoulder, wiping her tears. "I'm really tired..." Maka fainted, landing in Maru's arm.

"Maka!"

The ride home was... awkward to say the least. Kid kept glancing between Maka and his father, Liz and Patty were still kind of crying, and Maru was sleeping, with Maka's head on her shoulder. She had fallen asleep halfway through the car ride.

No one spoke for half an hour. It was pretty damn awkward.

"I guess I owe you an explanation." Lord Death said, looking at the group of teenagers in front of him. "Obviously." Liz said. Lord Death sighed. "Maka and Maru have Grigori souls, as you three know. But Maka and Maru are the daughters of two very... different people, I guess you can say."

"But this doesn't make sense. Maru said her mother was dead, and her father abused her. While Maka lived with her mother while Spirit... well he's Spirit, he wouldn't raise a hand at Maka, and if that's true I'll bet he wouldn't raise a hand at Maru either." Kid said, propping his elbows on his knees, forgetting about proper posture.

"That's because Maka and Maru really were separated, which I'm going to guess you three know. Maru went with their mother, while Maka lived with Spirit. Although, both their mother and father went to work at DWMA, and their excuse was death. Maka thought Spirit was dead, and Maru thought her mother, Kami, was murdered. However, Kami now is the one who chooses the students that gets the 'lucky locker'." Lord Death said. "So Spirit basically hired a 'fake mother', Kami doing vise versa, so that their daughters wouldn't grow up alone."

"Just that doesn't explain a quarter of this situation." Patty said, acting strangely serious for herself. (No offence Patty.) "I know that." Lord Death said, placing a hand on his forehead. "Ask any questions." He said.

"Why did you make us think Maka died?" Kid asked immediately. Lord Death stared at his son. "I knew you were going to ask that. Technically, Maka's human body is dead." He paused. "Maru has to go through the same procedure in two years time, actually." Liz and Patty stood up. "What?!" They exclaimed.

"Like I said earlier, Maka and Maru are the daughters of two very different people. You see, Kami was a god; hence the name 'Kami', while Spirit was half human, half weapon. Because of this, both of them were born human, although they had to sacrifice their human bodies when they come of age, specifically 17 or 18. Then, after a few weeks of training up there," Lord Death pointed up. "They come back to Earth as half angel, half weapon, or just half angel."

"When you found us in the temple earlier, Maka had just come back from Heaven, which is why she was still glowing when you came. Now...

Maka is a half angel, half weapon- Dual Scythes."

I decided to end it there. You must have plenty of questions still waiting to be answered, but...

That will have to wait for Chapter 15.

I am so happy though, I had a sudden idea-explosion in my brain for this chapter. So far this is one of my longest chapters since the first few. It's longer than about 5-13 I hope! Although, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that Chapter 10 or something was my longest chapter. I don't know.
