Miss Me?

Joy wouldn't look at Marie the whole plane ride home. Sure, she would smile if she talked to her, but she went straight back to looking concerned afterward. More concerning, she wasn't hitting on Marie. It was weird.

"Joy. I need to ask you something."

"Yeah?" She smiled at her lap, yet Marie knew that the didn't reach her eyes.

"That stuff back there with Yulvis. What happened? Why did you tell me that you're… you know."

A woman from across the aisle shot them a look and covered her daughter's ears. "The decency," she muttered, "talking about homosexuality on a plane with children present!"

Joy didn't miss a beat. "Yulvis… he… okay…" she sighed. "I hurt him. A long time ago. I'm not proud of it, but I did."

"How long ago exactly?"

"Oh… About five hundred years ago?" She didn't react to Marie's shocked expression. "I was in my youth, I didn't know any better. I was only a kid back then, normal. Human even, if witches without magic can be considered human."

"What happened?"

"When I turned sixteen it was decided that I was going to marry by my family. Yulvis's father set up a dowry, the Netherlands in those days were much different than they are now."

"Netherl-"

"Let me finish dear. It's too hard, I'm afraid if I stop I won't be able to continue." She sighed. "Anyway, it so happened that I loved another. My best friend. Mind you, of course, I didn't know Yulvis was a warlock. I would have thought twice before I broke him."

It was hard for Marie to think that Joy ever went through anything sad, she was so… well… joyful.

"She was beautiful, amazing really. After the wedding we ran away together. I thought he would never find us, alone in the wilderness. But all witches and warlocks have familiars. His were the birds in the trees, I was doomed from the start."

"What happened?"

"My love, my life. He took it all from me. She died in my arms, a tangle of blood and bone. He knew I had dormant magic within me. When I was younger my own mother a witch, had a piece of magic jewel implanted into my heart. The jewel helped to conceal my magic. My loves death unleashed my power, my heart was broken. I was a monster, I can't explain it any better. It was like all of hell's fury was within me. I blacked out. When I woke up there was a small fox cradled beside me, and I knew in that instant what I had become."

Marie stared, unsure of what to say. Luckily, she didn't have to say anything.

"But that's besides the point, I'm so glad you're coming back to the DWMA Marie!" Joy smiled her normal bright, million dollar smile. This time her eyes sparkled with it. "Are you excited to see Kid? I know he's been acting really depressed since you left. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."

Marie couldn't help but to blush as she thought of him. "Oh shut up, Joy." Marie punched her hard in the arm. She shrugged and put in headphones.

"Suit yourself."

The plane landed a few hours later. As soon as they walked out of the plane gates they were greeted by Maka, Soul, Kid, Tsubaki, and Luisa. They looked quite out of place in the dull business atmosphere of the air port. Maka ran forward and hugged Marie, Luisa and Tsubaki followed soon after. Soul shook Joy's hand. She gave her usual smile and turned to Tsubaki.

"How's Jackie?"

"Oh she's at the dorms still. She wanted to make you dinner when you got back."

Joy instantly became overjoyed as she said a quick goodbye and darted for the closest taxi. Joy loved Jackie's cooking and she was missing Jackie so much already. The gang laughed as they went back to welcoming Marie back home. Maka offered everyone to go to their place for dinner as a welcome home party. They settled to meet at Maka and Soul's place in 2 hours. With the plan made Maka and Soul left on Souls motorcycle and Tsubaki offered to take Luisa and Marie back to the dorms.

Before Marie could answer Kid interrupted and asked if he could take Marie home in a while. Since there was something he needed to talk about with Marie. Tsubaki smiled a bit and giggled as her and Luisa walked to the parking garage.

Kid led Marie outside as he summoned Beelzebub. Kid stepped on Beelzebub then reached his hand out to help Marie balance in front of him. As they were talking off Kid wrapped his arms around Marie pulling her close to him.

"I don't want you to fall so it would be best if I hold you." Kid smirked as he rested his head on her shoulder.

The two meisters landed at a stone drop off at the end of the forest before the city. Marie hopped off and made her way to the very edge where she sat down, her feet dangling in front of her as she gazed down to look at the city. Kid followed her lead and sat down beside her taking her hand in his.

He didn't look at her nor did his stoic face show any emotion as he overlooked the city's outline. He merely squeezed Marie's hand tighter as he spoke.

"Marie I am so overjoyed that you agreed to come back to DWMA with Joy... After our kiss it seemed harder to accept the fact you left." Kids throat was tight as he tried to keep his cool to continue to speak, "I want to be able to see you everyday, I want to be a part of your everyday life."

"Kid? Where are you going with this?" Marie looked up and stared into Kid's memorizing amber eyes.

"Well Marie, I'm asking you to be my girlfriend."
