Well I've been banned from my sister's computer and we have no typing programs on this computer and it has no memory for any so...I was stumped. Of course you're probably wondering, but Nori, if you can't type, how'd you get this chapter up? It was a real stroke of geniousness you see! I thought about it and ran around on fanfiction because I can still access the internet and then I found the document manager thingy and I realized I could edit my three chapters into the next chapters! HOORAY! Now the torture of a cliffhanger can end and we can get on with our lives.

Disclaimer: I never have and never will own Soul Eater or any of the characters therein because I'm unsymmetrical trash. T-T

Kid woke up to a loud alarm and water raining down. He spluttered a bit as he stood up and stretched all his kinks and sore muscles out of his body before calmly joining the hordes evacuating the school. Memories of yesterday were blurry but Kid can take anything in stride. He straightens his hair and suit before leaving the mass of apprehensive students and strolling towards Soul's address. Blackstar and him looked it up as soon as they realized he was interested in Maka...in case things came to their worst and action had to be taken. It all turned out towards the best though, and Kid grinned maliciously at the thought of Soul's face when he opened the door to see Kid.

It was a pleasant enough walk in the sun and Kid was dry by the time he arrived at Soul's apartment. He smirked inwardly as he knocked on Soul's door and waited for him to answer. Faintly he could hear swearing, crashing and then the door opened. Soul was a wreck. His hair was disheveled and his clothes hung askew; telling of a struggle and the room behind Soul reflected that. Furniture was overturned and placed asymmetrically. It made Kid feel slightly nauseous so he blurted out his question and hoped for a quick answer.

"Does Maka have a place to live? And did you offer her one?" Kid shut his eyes, not wanting to look at the red ones.

"No and yes. Kid she's been kidnapped." At those words Kid's eyes opened and he stared at Soul in shock. Maka...had been kidnapped?

"What are you talking about Soul? Maka wouldn't get kidnapped. She's too tough! I think you must be on dr-" Soul just sighed and pulled Kid inside, ignoring his blabbering. There was one chair left standing so Kid sat in it, his mouth still flapping and watched as Soul drearily made some tea. It was too much to take in. Ash had been telling the truth, Maka had been kidnapped, Soul knew she didn't have a home, Maka got kidnapped...and Maka was kidnapped?!

"Kid, shut up and listen. I went into my room yesterday and found a message on the wall saying if I wanted Maka back I had to be willing to do anything. Then someone called a phone that was on my bed and they said to meet in room 173 at 7'o'clock today. No one came and by the time I got back here the phone was gone." Soul sighed yet again and handed Kid a mug of tea that he noticed had a chip on one side and not the other. Though by now Kid was too confused to care.

"So...There's no way to contact whoever has Maka?" Soul shook his head and Kid thought harder. "Did he say 7'o'clock a.m. or 7'o'clock p.m.?"

"He just said 7'o'clock!" Red eyes met gold ones in wonderment. "Kid we still have a chance! We need back up though. I'll call Blackstar!"

Soul raced to his room to find the tiny slip of paper that had Blackstar's phone number on it. A couple years ago he had handed out slips to everyone to make himself "famous." Kid remembered how Maka had thrown hers away and when Blackstar heard that from Kid, he would not stop bothering Maka. It was the beginning of their friendship and he smiled fondly at that memory. Really, Maka had been one of Kid's only friends. Everyone else found him strange or snotty and she had helped see just who he was inside. Kid snapped out of his reminiscing as Soul walked back in, arguing animatedly on the phone. (Oh! Look! I''m punny! Heehee...)

"Blackstar we don't know who kidnapped Maka! You can't beat them up until 7! NO! You can't kill them until we get some answers...What are you doing? That won't make time go faster! Gah! See you at 7 then." Soul hung up and looked at Kid

"How can you stand that guy? So annoying...Anyway he's going to tell Tsubaki and they'll meet us there. This guy's going down." They smirked at each other and then Kid left to finish up school. Maka would be mad to hear he skipped even a few hours.

* * * * *

Whoa! Major time skip because all Soul's doing is cleaning up and Nori's getting tired. Also switching viewpoints to Soul.

He arrived at precisely 6:50, dressed in sweat pants and a t-shirt for maneuverability. It was time to kick some serious butt. Soul smirked and strolled inside the building, reminding himself of those old movies where cowboys enter dramatically after pausing outside. Kid was already in room 173 and after 3 minutes, Blackstar came in with Tsubaki. The atmosphere was tense and electric, even Blackstar was quiet for once. Truthfully, Soul was a bit excited. He missed Maka terribly and this was one step closer to finding her. Minutes ticked by and as Soul watched the 59 turn to 00 on his watch a phone rang behind him. Kid was closer so he grabbed it up and turned it to speaker phone. They all heard the sinister voice that Soul recognized from earlier.

"I thought I told you to tell no one Soul. And yet here you are with a gaggle of friends." Kid motioned for them to look around the room because whoever it was could see them.

"Oh I hope you're not looking for me. Perhaps I'd best reveal myself. Behold your demise puny children!" Soul, Kid, Blackstar and Tsubaki looked around until their eyes lit on a figure in the shadows. It was...Ash. Soul stared in astonishment. Ash. It couldn't be. Why would he do this?

"I see you look confused Soul. Yes I am your friend, Ash. I am also the captor of Maka." He smirked. "Now you will learn how to loose that snobbish attitude you have." Ash kept smiling at the faces below. Kid was glaring, Tsubaki looked disapproving, Soul was still in shock and Blackstar...was suddenly punching Ash's lights out. Soul blinked in surprise as the once best friend collapsed and Blackstar began laughing obnoxiously.

"Look upon your God, fools, and see how far I've surpassed him! I am the great Blackstar! The man who is above the gods! Look and tremble with cowardly fear!" Tsubaki smiled at his childlessness and hurried to check that Ash wasn't dead. Kid sat down and muttered to himself about how obvious it was and Soul watched all this dispassionately. It was too unreal. Ash would never do that to Soul, would he? They had been friends for years. How could it turn out like this? It was too much. Soul sank to the ground, clutching his head and trying to shake off the thought of Ash betraying him. Someone was pulling at his arms, trying to get him to stand up and then Blackstar's voice sang through the air.

"Hah! How uncool Soul. Lying on the ground like you have no spine. But don't fear! I have enough spine for us both and I guess I'll get all the credit for saving Maka. She'll rush into the arms of this man who has surpassed God and-" Blakcstar was cut off as Soul jerked upright and hit his head on the bottom of his chin. Maka was still missing. Soul ran over and grabbed Ash, dragging him out of the room and down the halls to a drinking fountain. Tsubaki stayed behind to help Blackstar so Kid was the only one who followed Soul. Just before he began to soak Ash's head, Soul saw that Kid had a roll of ducktape in his hand. He grinned in understanding and bound Ash hand and foot before waking him with cold water.

"What are you guys doing? I could've drowned!" Ash seemed oblivious to their frowns. He struggled a bit before realizing he was bound and then he met Soul's eyes. "C'mon pal, release me! YOu can't do this to me. I'm your friend!"

Soul snorted and let Kid do the interrogating. It was hard to stand those gray eyes boring into him, so Soul stared at the wall.

"Where's Maka?"

"Fuck you."

"Where's Maka, damnit! Tell me or I'll kick your ass!"

"..." Kid slapped Ash and Soul flinched at the harsh sound. Like it or not, Ash was still his friend and it was that stupid thought that led Soul to intercede.

"Kid, leave me alone with him for 5 minutes and he'll tell me." Kid looked skeptical but Soul wasn't about to let his friend abuse his other friend. Then he paused in thought. Since when was Kid his friend? It didn't matter though, so he tucked it away and gave Kid a gentle push back towards 173. He left, golden eyes turning back once to let the crimson ones know they were starting the five minutes immediately.

"Ash...we've been pals for years. Why would you do this? And to a girl with tiny tits! I'm insulted you seem to think I ever really liked her. I just have a reputation to keep in this school." Ash chuckled a bit at Soul's trick and then spat in his face.

"It's that damn reputation's fault I had to do this. Betcha didn't know I had the hots for Kim, did ya? And then...then...YOU! You fucked her and then ditched her! How could you! She left town because of you! I guess I just wanted you to know what it feels like to be unable to get your girl." Soul stared in surprise. He had expected anything but this. Ash had liked Kim?

"Why didn't you say something to me? I would've let you have her." All Soul got was a glare.

"You know where Maka is, don't you? Would you please tell me. I'm going crazy without her!" Another glare.

"Ash...I still have Kim's phone number. I can give it to you if you tell me where Maka is." A bit risky because Soul didn't really have it, but he saw a spark of hope in Ash's eyes that faded fats.

"What happens to me after you find out where she's hidden? Will you let me go? Without...further harm?" He smiled deviously at Soul, the hope rekindled.

"Yes I swear on Maka's grave-" Ash began to cackle insanely as Kid ran up. The five minutes were over and Soul could see Tsubaki carrying a limp Blackstar over. Then Ash was talking again and Soul heard nothing but those words.

"GOOD! BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE SHE IS! ON HER GRAVE!" There was a poof of smoke and then Ash was gone. No one said a word, but all were wondering. He couldn't be a witch, witches were girls. So then how...? Soul cleared his throat and tried to distract the rest.

"Any ideas on where Maka's grave is?"

Anyway that's chapter 4. Sorry it's a bit short, my shoulder hurts like crap. I apologize for not being too great at writing and for not editing this chapter. I'm so lazy~... Well read and review as always!
