Hey here is the next installment for you and hope you will enjoy this one too. I would appreciate some feedback as I have noticed that I haven't had much and would be happy to have some as it will help me improve for future chapters. Also soon I won't be able to update as often because I will be going back to uni and it may take longer to write chapters due to my course work load, but will try to in every spare minute I have.

Chapter 2

In the hallways of the DWMA there were trails of black ink like substance across the floor leading towards a particular direction. The trails were coming from a speeding Soul as he carried an unconscious Maka in his arms to the infirmary.

Maka, I'm not allowing you to leave, not now, not ever, especially not after everything we've been through together thought Soul. He looked down at his lifeless meister and noticed that the black blood that was dripping out of Maka's mouth wasn't stopping.

"FUCK! Maka wake up," shouted Soul as small tears streamed down his face from his crimson eyes as he worried more and more about his precious meister.

-Elsewhere Nygus and her meister Sid were just making their way back from a meeting with Shinigami.

"Reports are now completed; now I just got to finish the work off in the infirmary and later we'll meet up and begin our new mission," said Nygus as she flipped through the list of things to do for the day.

"Yes, our new mission tonight is to track down the latest Kishin egg soul on Shinigami's list so we'll meet later this evening."

"NYGUS! WE NEED YOU!" shouted a voice from the other end of the hallway.

"Calm down, what's the matter?" asked Sid.

"It's...Maka...she's...collapsed," Stein said trying to catch his breath.

"WHAT!" shouted Nygus.

"Something is happening to Maka, she has just collapsed and Soul should have made it to the infirmary by now," said Stein, "She had succumbed to insanity for a few minutes, but luckily came back to her senses, but then moments after she collapsed with black blood pouring from her mouth."

"Right, got to go Sid," said Nygus as she started running off with Stein to the infirmary.

"I'll report this to Shinigami and I'll bring Spirit to the infirmary," shouted Sid as he turned back towards Shinigami's room.

Soul just arrived in the infirmary, but there was no sign of anyone to help him, so he rushed over to a bed and laid her body on a bed panicking about how to help her. Black blood was still flowing out of her mouth and began to stain the bed; Soul quickly grabbed some bandages and tried to stop the continuous flow of black blood.

Stein and Nygus rushed through the door taking over for Soul and they all were thinking the same thing which was how they are going to bring back Maka.

"Shit! She's not waking up and the black blood won't stop," said a stressed Stein.

He looked down at the lifeless Maka and used his Soul Perception to see if her soul has worsened and to his dismay it has since the last time he checked; now half of her soul orb was contaminated with black blood.

Shit! The black blood is increasingly consuming her, there's only one solution to save her. He glanced towards Soul and knew what he had to do; Well only one person can do this and with their deep connection it should work and save Maka, but this will only be a temporary fix meaning it'll buy us time to find a way to stop whatever is happening to her.

"Soul," called Stein.

"What is it Stein? Have you got some way to bring Maka back, tell me and I'll do it, anything to save her."

"Calm down Soul, we need you to soul resonate with her soul and retrieve her before her soul is fully consumed by the black blood. Your strong bond should bring Maka back to us."

"Right, I'll do it!" said Soul filled with unlimited amount of determination.

I won't fail! I'll succeed in bringing back my meister...no my Maka he thought to himself and all of a sudden he could feel something beating hard and fast against his chest at the thought of Maka and realised it was his heart, this meant that failure wasn't an option he can take.

Back in Shinigami's room Sid had just finished informing Shinigami the details about what has been happening to Maka.

"So Stein said Maka had succumbed under the influence of black blood that is within her and her behaviour completely changed as she had fallen to insanity, but only momentarily as she was able to come back to her senses, but collapsed seconds later with black blood flowing from her mouth," confirmed Shinigami finding the situation worrisome and out of the ordinary.

"Yes Sir and Nygus has just informed me through our soul resonance that they are about to get Soul to resonate with Maka's soul in an attempt to bring her back and also to see what the black blood is doing to her soul," replied Sid

Suddenly they heard a loud banging of footsteps as they both turned to notice Spirit running towards them distressed by what he had just heard.

"Black blood...No... No...Not that again...Now it's affecting my precious little Maka-Chan...Also now I've just heard you guys saying she's collapsed WAHHH!" sobbed Spirit now beginning to cry on his knees whilst holding onto Shinigami, "Not My Maka! WAHH...don't let her die please!"

"REAPER CHOP!"

All of a sudden Spirit was surrounded by a small puddle of blood on the ground with Shinigami's chop imprinted on Spirit's forehead.

"Shut up! Whilst we figure how to save your daughter, this isn't the time to be crying you simpering idiot," asserted an irritated Shinigami, "Yes you're her father and have the right to worry about her, but right now we need you as Death Scythe and so does she, for now gather any information you can find on black blood, look especially at witch Medusa's research on black blood."

"Yes Sir, just reframe from hitting me so hard...sniff."

A depressed Spirit had finally left Shinigami's room which was a relief to Shinigami and Sid as it meant they can get back to discussing the task at hand and that's what's causing the black blood to resurface itself again.

Back in the infirmary Stein had just finished summarising their plan of action.

"Ok is everyone ready?"

"Yes," said Soul and Nygus simultaneously.

"Alright, Soul begin resonating with Maka and remember not to take too long as her black blood will also begin to consume you as well," warned Stein.

"Right, I'll see you guys soon," said Soul with a large grin on his face filled with confidence, "And I'll definitely be back with my girl."

'My girl' now that's a change from meister, it's obvious that his feelings for her have become more than just meister and weapon hehhehheh, hopefully she'll come to realise this too when she comes back to us...that's definitely going to be interesting Stein thought to himself whilst sniggering at the thought.

Soul closed his eyes and concentrated his soul wavelength in order to synchronise with Maka's. He gradually could feel himself connecting closer and closer to Maka's own soul wavelength and becoming one with her soul, he knew now was the time to finish the resonance.

"SOUL RESONANCE!"

Suddenly Stein felt a burst of Soul and Maka's wavelength's resonating together knowing they were a lot stronger compared to previous battle they've encountered. Wow those two have definitely grown stronger since their last battles they have gone through, this proves that these two are capable of anything if they put their mind to it and work together as one strong soul and I know this because I believe in them.

Soul realised that he was now floating in what seemed to be a never ending abyss of nothingness hoping to find Maka.

"Maka!" Soul called out in the nothingness.

Unfortunately he didn't get any sign that she was nearby and he was struggling to locate where her soul was.

"Maka can you hear me, I'm coming for you I'm not letting you go so please guide me to wear you are I'm returning until I find you."

Suddenly he felt a familiar wavelength and was being drawn to it; he closed his eyes concentrating on this wavelength relieved that she had heard him. The next thing he knew he opened his eyes to find himself in Maka's bedroom in their apartment, but as he looked around his surrounding he noticed there were a few differences within the room like how there were pictures from past events in her life including ones with both her mum and dad. He also noticed that part of the room was cluttered with books as if she has been revising for a big test.

Suddenly he realised he wasn't the only one in the room; he turned around to see Maka looking out the window with her back to him.

"Maka...MAKA... is that you?" said Soul as a small amount of relief flowed through his words.

He moved towards her with his arms outstretched as if he was ready to catch her in case she suddenly fell, but then he stops as he had noticed something wasn't right about how Maka was behaving since she didn't react or even move a fraction when he called her. He continued to observe her for a few more moments and noticed there seemed to be something dripping onto the floor from where she was standing. He walked up to her and puts his hands on each side of her petite shoulders and spun her around to face to him.

Horror spread across his face as he recognised the three eyed symbol which was imprinted across Maka's chest. He looked up at her face where all there was a dulled expression in her eyes and a crooked smile planted across her face. The dripping substance that was on the floor revealed to be coming from the three eyed symbol it was as if she had spilt ink across her clothes during a study session.

"Maka?" said Soul as he was shocked as to what is happening to his meister.

"Muhahahaha!" she began to laugh crazily as she had previously before in the classroom.

He was about to grab her to calm her down when suddenly he realised that there was something strange about Maka's shadow as the shape had changed into what seemed to be a taller man with what looked like scarves extending from his neck, then he saw the same three eyed symbol that was on Maka's chest on the head of the shadow.

"KISHIN ASURA! How Maka defeated you, how can you be alive?"

"Heh hehhehheh," sniggered the Kishin shaped shadow whilst his scarves began to wrap around Maka's body as if he was embracing her from behind. He looked straight at Soul and gave a look which meant that Maka now belonged to him

"She belongs to me now we are one and the same and there's nothing you can do to take her from me, insanity will be one with her and I will be revived once again and finish off what I had started," said the Kishin Shadow.

Kishin Asura, revival, he and Maka are one and the same; I won't allow this to happen! Maka is not for you to own Kishin thought Soul now filled with anger as he saw Kishin Shadow continuing wrapping her up in his corrupted scarves hating the site of anyone touching or harming his Maka.

Well thats it for this chapter and will update soon.
