I do not own Soul Eater or Unfold. They belong to their respective owners. If I did own them would I be writing this fanficiton? …I mean I probably would be but that's not important right now…

WARNING! PROFANITY LATER! I apologize but its one of those situations that writing it out fits the situation more than asterisks…

Desmond and Maka woke up at almost the exact same time and looked over to each other. It was about seven o'clock in the morning and they both woke up to make breakfast. The two girls smiled at each other as they got up to go cook.

The other eight kids woke up to the wonderful smells of a giant breakfast. Everyone was amazed at the multitude of food the two small girls made in just a short period of time.

The group sat down at the table. "When did you two make all of this?" Black Star asked.

Maka smiled. "We're early risers," she said.

"There's so much food. I'm not sure how to handle this…" Crona said, his mouth watering a bit.

"You dig in. I don't know how Desmond cooks but Maka makes breakfast every morning and it's tolerable," Soul said piling his plate with pancakes and bacon.

"Makaaaaaa CHOP!"

Soul recovered and took a bite of a pancake. "This is good… I guess Desmond made this," he said with a mouth full of food.

"Makaaaaaa CHOP!"

That poor book…

For a few minutes the group ate in silence until something occurred to Black Star. "Hey Soul," he spoke up.

"What?" Soul responded with a mouth full of food.

"The man who discovered milk…" he trailed off looking at his glass full of milk in his hand.

"What about him?" Soul asked after swallowing. Desmond picked up her glass and started to drink the white liquid that it contained.

"What was he doing with that cow you think?" Black Star asked seriously. Desmond spit her full mouth of milk onto poor Rain's face, and then began laughing along with everyone else. Maka looked at the blue haired boy, "What the hell goes on in your head?" she screamed, shocked that he would think of that. He didn't have an answer so he stood up on his chair and proclaimed, "I can't hear you over the sound of my awesomeness!"

"Sit down before you leave asymmetrical foot prints in the seat cushion!" Kid yelled at him.

"God Black Star! You don't stand on seats! And if you do, you have to stand with your feet exactly eight centimeters apart!" Desmond said sarcastically.

"Yes! Listen to her you asymmetrical buffoon!"

"Kid, I was kidding," Desmond said flatly. The kids talked and enjoyed their breakfast as one big family, laughing and occasionally yelling at/to each other.

After breakfast, Liz suggested that they all went shopping together. Everyone agreed to go except Desmond. "I kind of have a headache. If I feel better later I'll find you guys and shop a little bit. Okay?" she said. No one suspected anything was wrong except Rain, but he just wrote it off as her actually having a headache. She seems to be getting better, he thought.

"Well someone could hang back here with you until we all get back if you want," Soul suggested.

Desmond just gave him a simple smile. "No, I think I'm just gonna head home and relax until it goes away."

"Don't forget to take an Advil when you get back to the apartment," Rain told her, taking on the role of her big brother once again.

The black haired meister nodded and walked with the group until they came to the apartment complex she and Rain lived in. "See you guys around," she said as she walked into the building. Desmond walked up the steps to the third floor and walked down the hall to her apartment. She took out her key and opened the door, walked in and closed it behind her. She walked into her room and picked up the picture of her and her father. "Oh to hell with it!" she cried out and proceeded to dig under her bed to find something.

About five minutes after Desmond walked away from the group, Rain started to get nervous. I don't remember the last time she was sick. Not even having a simple headache or stomach ache, he thought. His thoughts stopped him in his track as he stared off into the distance. "Is everything okay?" Liz asked snapping him back into reality.

"Yeah, everything's fine," he said; only half believing his words himself.

"It's Desmond isn't it?" Kid asked.

"A little. She hasn't been sick in a while. I'm just a little worried, but it's stupid to worry about her. She does whatever she wants whenever she wants no matter what anyway. It's not like she can't take care of herself," Rain said.

This bothered Maka a little bit. She knew it was true as well, she just didn't like or want to accept it. That's why she ran away, she thought. Then Kid nodded and began to walk away. "Where are you going?" Tsubaki asked.

"Back," he answered to vaguely. "Besides, you don't want me to come. I'd keep you all from getting anything because it was asymmetrical," he reasoned. Liz agreed and they walked in the opposite direction as Kid.

Kid opened the door to the apartment he brought Desmond to a week ago when he found her crying in the park. "Desmond?" he called in as he closed and locked the door behind him. Nothing. "Desmond?" he tried again as he stepped in carefully. As he moved further in, he could hear a noise coming from her room. Kid cautiously walked over and cracked the door slightly. What he saw amazed him. Desmond was lying on the floor curled up in a ball holding a stuffed animal. There were articles of clothing all over the floor, bed, chair, and computer desk as if she took them out of her draw and just threw them. What scared him the most though was the open suitcase on her bed with neatly folded clothes in it under pants that were just thrown into it. "Desmond. Don't tell me you were…" Kid stopped himself, in fear of what was about to come out of his mouth. She just whined slightly through her sobs. He walked over and sat down on his knees next to her and picked up her shoulders to have her sit up straight. "Desmond, listen to me. You have family here. We're all here for you," he told her, smiling reassuringly. Her sobs stopped. "Don't forget you're loved," he finished.

Desmond practically threw her head down onto Kid's lap and began to cry once more in front of him into his lap. "Go ahead, its okay. It'll all be okay," he said calmly as he pet her head.

After five minutes of her crying, she stopped and sat up. "I guess I should clean this up before Rain gets back right?" she asked.

"Yeah. I can help you i-"

"No offence but there is already one person with a mental disorder when it comes to this kind of thing, I don't need two. You can wait in the living room while I clean. Help yourself to anything in the kitchen," she said.

Kid walked out of her room and sat down on the sofa when he something occurred to him. "What do you mean one person with a mental disorder?" he called into her room. He could see her moving around gathering clothes.

"Life's a bitch," was her only answer. What she really was saying was, "Anxiety's a bitch." Of course Kid didn't get that until much later in the day when she started to make her bed. He heard a loud noise coming from her room and he rushed in to see what was wrong. Desmond had just thrown her shoe at the wall and was staring at her bed. "Why doesn't this fucking sheet want to stay on the fucking bed?" she screamed. After a moment of silence she yelled again, "Fuck!"

"Um, Desmond…"
She whipped herself around to face Kid. "What!" she screamed at him. Then her face softened from angry to sorry. "Kid, I'm sorry. It's just when I… I get like this sometimes… I… I… I don't…" Desmond sighed in defeat. Kid placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay," he said. "I'll call Rain, he'll calm you down."

"No! I mean, he doesn't know. No one knows except for Caroline and Vic," Desmond explained. "No one should know. My weaknesses should stay inside my head. Don't you dare-"

"Tell a soul. I know. I remember last time," Kid said. "I'll make your bed. Go sit down on the couch for a little."

Kid walked out of Desmond's room a half hour later to find her asleep on the couch. The lock in the door turned and Rain walked in. "Dez?" he whispered. Rain saw Kid standing over the couch and he put his pointer finger up to his lips to tell Rain to be quiet. "She's asleep," Kid told Rain as he walked over to see why he was standing there. Rain nodded and picked up his meister to bring her into her room. Kid opened up the door for him and Rain walked in with the small girl in his arms. He came out and closed the door behind him quietly to keep from waking her up. "Well I'll see you tomorrow," Kid said as he started to walk towards the door.

"Hey Kid," Rain said.

"Yeah?" he stopped walking.

"She didn't like… freak out did she?" he asked, uncertain of how to phrase it.

So he does know anyway, Kid thought. "No, in fact when I got here, she already took something and was already half asleep on the couch," he lied for her. Rain nodded and Kid left. After the door closed Rain scoffed and looked at Desmond's door. "Liar," he said quietly as he walked over to his room.

You see I'm the bravest girl you will ever come to meet,
Yet I shrink down to nothing at the thought of someone really seeing me.
I think my heart is wrapped around
Tangled up in winding weeds…

Okay so I didn't find my wig but the costume still looked good! =]
