(A Month and 1/2 Later)

"Hey, Maka!"

"Hi~!"

"Enjoying your time in the moon class so far?"

"Yeah, it's been fun, but the training. How to do this type of torture for hours and still have the energy to goof around?"

"You get used to it. The first month is always the hardest, then it becomes second nature, so don't worry about it."

"You'd better be right, I can barely move."

He then got a smug look on his face.

"Wipe that look off your face or I'll Maka chop it off."

"Wow, Maka-chan, so violent. "

"Jerk.."

Micheal being the good friend that he is helped Maka to her next class, but caught the attention of a long dirty blond that was in the nearly empty hallway.

"I have to tell everyone. We have to get Maka back." Liz said as she went back towards the sun class.

She finally entered the class after taking the long ways to avoid the looks of the other students in school building.

'If this is what Maka felt, then we really fucked up. Stupid Rachael and her dumb picture.' Liz thought as she went towards her classroom.

The room, that was usually filled with laughter and immense chatter was now silent and foreboding. Like the school was punishing them somehow. Seriously, all the rooms were a comfortable 75 degrees and when she entered the sun class it felt like it was 50 degrees and it even if you covered yourself head to toe with warm clothes, the chill went through your clothes like a hot knife through butter.

Her friends weren't doing so well, as Patty lost her cheery child-like personality and now grimaced and cursed at every opportunity. Black Star couldn't go through his god rants anymore, but people thought they should feel relieved at the loss of them, but now it felt empty and awkward.

Tsubaki, never stopped sobbing and flinching at any touch. Her confidence has been shattered and she was nervous wreck. Kid was now extremely silent as his compulsive OCD became worse as his attacks seem to explode at random as he would be silent one moment and then cleaning and perfecting the entire room he was in the next.

Soul was the worst, but he still had his head up his ass and he was too stubborn for his own good. Plus, it seemed that Rachel was still here as she used a loophole to continue going to school, but it wasn't so good on her end as well. Everyone gave her a cold shoulder or a heat filled glare that could melt steel. Soul looked weak, as without Maka her soul kept the tiny demon at bay, but now it was wreaking havoc on his mind, chipping down his walls of sanity as he started to dread sleeping as they were filled with smothering black blood.

Rachel was worse than before, it was like all the misery the class was going through was making her powerful almost like she was feeding off his soul. Soul was worn and yet trailing behind her like a lapdog with her posse behind her, flipping their hair.

The group left their main classroom and move towards the gym, when they saw her after so long. Maka..

Her soul was larger than before and even standing in the doorway brought some life back into the group and made Rachel violently flinch.

She was beautiful and cheery, she was flipping, dodging and running through training dummies like a hot knife through butter, hacking them to pieces and finishing off the obstacle course with a snap kick that decapitated a dummy as she took in breaths of air.

The applause that came after still made her blush even after completing the obstacle course for the tenth time.

However, as the applause died down their were still several claps, but they were slow and gave off a creepy echo across the gym and then that is when she noticed them.

"Well, well dear Maka-chan. This is where you have been for the past couple of weeks." Rachel said, slowly walking towards her.

However, several flashes later showed Lilly, Ling, Micheal and Jackson all at her side with several others leading up the rear, none looking happily at the group.

"Oh have your friends fighting your battles for you?" Rachel pouted.

"I didn't think a bitch like you would know about friends." Maka sneered.

"Actually, I do since yours left for me." Rachel smirked.

Black Star, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, Kid and Soul all wanted to say they didn't want to, but all they could manage was to fidget and flinch as the words couldn't leave their throats.

Some of the people with advanced soul perception took notice of their actions and put that piece of information to the back of their minds for now.

"I'd suggest you leave, before we make you leave." Mari said.

"Considering that you are not welcome.." Lilly started.

"Or anywhere else for that matter." Ling finished.

"Okay, okay. We will leave, come on all of you." Rachel snapped her fingers and flipped her hair, leaving the room.

The group shuffled their feet, but their eyes could not meet Maka's. They all left, but Soul looked back at her, his eyes were a darker red with a scorpion's tail tip?

'Soul?' Maka asked.

He soon left with the others and the door closed shut.

Maka slightly shook at seeing Rachel again, but Jackson put his arms around her, comforting her by wrapping his soul around hers, but she had a nasty feeling down in the pit of her stomach.

Soon the day was over and the group was leaving, but they came across Soul, Kid, Black Star, Tsubaki, Patty and Liz again, but without Rachel.

Lilly put her hand on her shoulder and Jackson wrapped a protective arm around her waist.

"Maka, please. We need to talk to you."

Ending it! I want the next couple of chapters to be interesting. See you guys later, thank you for the all reviews, favorites and follows of this fanfiction as it means a lot to me.
