Well hello everyone! I had left the other chapter a cliffhanger… well because I didn't know how to go about this story. I'm aiming towards this direction. Hope it suffices your needs.

The moment was surreal. The moonlight made the room glow as it was the only light given. No person made no effort to move from their positions.

"Makaa…" Kidd has whispered only inches away from her lips.

His chest felt like it was ready to burst. The excitement of his daring action grew. His half lid eyes stared directly at the Albarn girl. Everything felt right… but something felt wrong. The little uneasiness grew as he realized what was stopping himself from claiming the girl. Kidd closed his eyes and sighed. He brought his hand to Maka's face and kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry Maka. I-I can't do this. You're not mine to do this with."

He doesn't have the heart to look at the girl. In his heart he knew it crushed the girl. As he could feel he crushed himself just saying those dreadful words. Kidd started to feel Maka tremble. Without any second thought he pushed himself away to get a good look at her face. The image he saw before himself broke his heart into asymmetrical pieces. Maka had her eyes closed with tears flowing profoundly. Regardless of the tears Maka still held a smile and hands clenched his royal sheets.

"It's okay Kidd. I'm okay…"

Maka shoved Kidd off the bed and stood. Her bangs covering her eyes but her tears could be clearly seen. Kidd was in shock as he held himself up on the floor staring at the broken girl. She bit her lip to hold any whimper that wanted to come out.

"Thank you for having me Kidd. It's time for me to go home."

With no hesitation she ran out the door. Kidd stood up quickly while trying to process everything. His body was clearly doing its own thing as he ran after the brown haired grow. As he ran through the hall Kidd passed by Patti. Trying to catch his breath he stopped.

"Have…. You…. Seen… Maka?"

Patti had a cookie in her mouth. Instead of saying anything she just pointed to the front door. To take in consideration both Kidd and Patti are on top of the stairway. Kidd thanked Patti and ran out the door. It was still raining heavily and the remaining trails of the girl's footprints were slowly fading away. As Kidd's heart was slowly doing the same. Something just snapped in him. He ran in the direction he thought she went. Hours went by and the rain showed no sign of stopping.

Hours went by and Kidd still searched. His body was screaming but his heart didn't let him stop. He stopped in his place to look up at the dark sky. 'Why?' he kept questioning himself. It wasn't until someone broke his thought.

"Have you found her?"

Kidd clenched his hands and turned to stare at the albino man. He couldn't help but feel anger towards the white haired man.

"You're here. Where were you when she was crying? Where were you when she needed you the most?"

Soul's eyes widened as he turned his head to look somewhere else. He knew this was his fault. He knew he hurt Maka. He knew her feelings for him. He knew his own feelings for her. Liz came over so they could study together. The studying had lead to something else. And now here he was staring at the overly obsessed symmetrical son of Lord Death who held a certain emotion in his eyes that didn't go unnoticed.

"You love her don't you Kidd?"

"Yes"

"Guess I have competition"

As the rain continued to fall the boys kept their glare match going.

Further into the forest Maka was leaning on a tree soaked to the bone. She didn't care. The rain symbolized her pain for she couldn't cry anymore tears. Her emerald eyes were lifeless as she just stares out to oblivion. She just didn't care anymore. She heard someone slowly approaching her. Her body was unresponsive all she could do was stare at the mysterious person. Maka moved her head to only to see black.

"Well lookie who we have here. An Albarn."

"J-Justin.."

"I felt your soul wavelength weakening. Were you giving up.. just like that?"

Maka clenched her fist. Her body screamed as she stood. She had done a whole 360 on her persona. Her eyes held a whole new feeling. Determination. Justin laughed as he extended his hand towards Maka.

"Ready to begin your training Albarn?"

"Let's go Justin."

She grabbed his hand and both had magically disappeared. Behind a tree a certain red head had kept his head down and had a hand on his heart. It was painful for him to witness this moment. It was painful to see his daughter hurting. It was time to let go. Let her be.

"I'll be here Maka just like daddy promised. Come back princess. Daddy's here" Spirit whispered.

I hope everyone enjoyed!
