Maka woke up, groaning as she rubbed her neck.

"you're finally up." Maka bolted up into a sitting position. She looked over to where the voice had come from and smiled when she recognized the girl.

"Anna!" The red-haired and white-eyed girl gave her a thumbs-up.

"Hey Maka," Maka looked around, she was in a room which was painted red and black...well everything about the room was either red, black...or gold...

"Where I am?" Anna sat on the bed with Maka,

"You're at the Southside Wolves Headquarters." Anna explained. Maka gave her a confused look.

"You know the gang? The Southside Wolves?" Maka nodded.

"You're in their Home Base right now...as we speak." Maka's eyes widened.

"What?"

"It's not so bad Maka!" Anna said as she led the ash-blonde girl downstairs.

"Sleeping Beauty's up!" Anna called out. When they reached the bottom step, Maka gave everyone the "WTF" look as she spotted raven hair and indigo blue eyes.

"Tsubaki?" Tsubaki smiled and waved. The others looked from Tsubaki to Maka to Anna and back.

"We all went to the same High School." Anna offered. Tsubaki then started to introduce everyone.

"This is Black*star," Maka glared at the blue-haired boy that she had hit with her book twice who glared back playfully.

"Death the Kid...But we call him kid," Again Maka glared at the raven haired boy,

"You already know me and Anna." Tsubaki gave her a weak smile.

"That's Willow, Kaido and Luna." Tsubaki turned and pointed at the lightly tanned girls. One had blue hair, one had short black hair with 3 white lines and the last one had white hair and blue eyes. The black-haired girl grinned at Maka.

"Hey Maka. I'm Kid's younger twin sister," Maka nodded as she then noticed the three white lines both twins had in their hair. Luna, the white haired one, whispered something to Willow. The two girls chuckled then silenced when Anna glared at them.

"Where is he?" Anna then asked, they all looked at Luna who shrugged.

"I'm not my brother's babysitter," Kaido frowned at Luna.

"You said you would watch him until Maka woke up!" Luna then rolled her eyes.

"When have I ever watched him? He's a big boy. 18 people! He's fuckin' 18!" Luna scowled as someone placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down Luna." Maka then death-glared the white-haired boy and pointed accusingly at him.

"You kidnapped me!" Evans gave her a bored expression.

"You're up." Anna looked from Evans to Maka.

"Maka...This is our leader. Soul Evans." Maka frowned at Anna.

"You guys work for this guy?" Anna shrugged.

"It's not so bad."

"Who wants lunch!" someone called out. A girl with bright blonde-hair and blue eyes appeared with an apron on. She then noticed Maka.

"Well, looks who finally woke up!" The girl smiled, before wiping her hands on her apron to get rid of the flour still clinging to them.

"The name's Sunny. I'm the chef 'round here." Maka shook hands with the blonde as everyone else had already left to eat. Sunny guided Maka to the dining room where everyone was seated.

"Do you wanna help me bring some stuff out?" Maka nodded. Sunny smiled.

"Great! It's hard to get these guys to do anything 'round here unless it's missions, training...the usual 'round here anyways." Maka listened to Sunny as Sunny passed her a basket of sliced home-made bread.

"How did you guys end up here?" Maka asked. Sunny looked at her with calculating blue eyes before sighing.

"Most of us had nowhere else to go...Soul offered us a place as long as we remained loyal to the gang. Some of us have lost everything...including our family...After we found Soul and he let us in...We kinda became our own family you know?" Maka nodded slightly.

"That's...kind of him to do." Maka muttered. Sunny patted her head.

"Once you're accepted into the gang, you'll get used to him...Trust me." Sunny then led Maka out to hand out the rest of the food.

"You're really good chef Sunny." Maka smiled at her new friend as they finished bringing the dishes back into the kitchen.

"Thanks!" Sunny smiled back as she took off her apron. It was then that Maka noticed Sunny's small bulging stomach. Sunny followed her gaze to her tummy. She smiled softly at Maka.

"Are you...?" Maka didn't want to sound rude. Sunny nodded.

"2 months pregnant." Maka smiled.

"Gratz then." Sunny giggled.

"Oh please, you should see some of the children running around this place...There's Petal right now! Petal! Come here for a moment," a girl with pink hair and pink eyes walked into the kitchen slowly, stopping when she saw Maka.

"Who's that Sunny?" Sunny introduced the two of them.

"Petal...This is Maka Albarn, She's friends with Tsubaki and Anna." Petal smiled at Maka politely.

"Hi," Sunny then turned to Maka.

"Petal is 4 years old. Very smart girl. She's Anna's younger sister." Maka blinked.

"It's very nice to meet you Petal." Petal smiled then grabbed Maka's hand.

"Come and meet the other kids! You should also meet Claudia and Lou!" Petal said excitedly as she dragged the 16 year old away. Sunny chuckled then turned to the other doorway.

"You know...That could be called stalking Soul?" Soul stepped into the kitchen glaring at the blonde mother to-be.

"Shut-up Sun," Sunny placed a hand on his shoulder gently.

"Maka's a nice girl Soul...Don't blow it," Soul gave her a confused look as she left him in the kitch to wonder about what she said.
