(Sarcasm) Well, anyway, please review my story, and I'm working on another one. MWAHAHAHAHAAAA! Now, you may read.

Chapter 4

Maka

I don't know what made me do it. Kiss him? Why him? Why Kid? 'Well, why not?' says a voice in my head. 'Seriously, why not? He was a good kisser, wasn't he? And, he's always been really nice to you, when all the others weren't. So, why not Kid?' it says again. Well, now that it says it that way… But what about Soul? He'd be crushed! But… Oh! I just thought of an idea! I could set him up with another girl! But who? I don't know. Maybe… Liz? I'm not sure if she would. Hmm… Maybe. Well, I can't be too preoccupied with my thoughts at the moment. I need to get Kid up to the nurses' office. He's looking up at me, dazed. Wait, no, he's unconscious, that's all. He blinks, and shakes his head. He coughs, and a little blood comes out.

"Don't put me in the nurses' office, please. Just take me back to my home. I'll try to walk," he rasps. H stands up, a bit wobbly, and he manages to take a step. I put his arm around my shoulders, and we walk to his place.

"Thanks, Maka," he says. "I don't know why his punches almost knocked me out. I've been through much worse than that, but those hurt more than they should have," he tells me absentmindedly. I stop. We're at his house. I guess we were silent most of the time, but time did definitely seem to fly. I help him up the steps, through the doors, and into his room. He stumbles a bit, and then plops down on his bed. I'm still standing there. Kid looks at me and blushes, looking down. I start to walk away. Out of the corner of my eye, I see him get under the covers. I turn around. He's laying face up, his eyes closed. I think he's asleep. I tiptoe back into his room, and sit as softly on his bed. The sheets are silky and smooth. I look at Kid. He looks so peaceful. I touch his hair. It's surprisingly soft. I look at his face. He's actually really cute. I lean over him, think about it for a second, and kiss him softly on the lips. I stroke his hair for a couple more minutes, make sure it's completely symmetrical and walk out of the room.

"Why the hell did you kiss him?" asks Soul when I visit him in the nurses' office.

"Oh, well, he saved my life right before I did, so why shouldn't I have?" I replied to him. I was still angry at him for hurting Kid like that.

"Well, that doesn't mean- wait, he saved your life?" he asked me in shock.

"Yep," I say, "I was choking on my sandwich, and he saved me."

"Oh, well," he spluttered, "So, you're not... You're not going out with him, are you?" he blurts out.

"Since when were you concerned with who I date?" I ask him.

"Oh, no, just… wondering," he mumbles.

"Well, I hope your wrist gets better soon. You can't fight alongside me like that, you know," I say, pointing to his wrist in a cast. He nods, and grins at me. I walk out, and go to Stein's class.

"Okay, class, today we will be dissecting fleas," says Stein.

"Uh, sir, isn't that impossible? Because they are so small, a scalpel won't do any good. Will they?" I say, raising my hand.

"That's why they're… Mutant fleas! Mwahahahahaaa!" Stein laughs. He produces a large pile of humongous fleas. They're about the size of birds, but not as pretty. By a long shot.

"Oh my…" I say. I feel bile building in my throat, and I race for the door. I turn the corner, and race down to the bathroom. I fling open the door, go into the stall, and throw up my breakfast. I sigh, and I walk out to the sink to wash up.

"Er… Maka, this is the boy's bathroom," says an uncomfortable voice in my ear. I stand stock still, and slowly turn my head. There's Kid, just standing there in the door, looking very uncomfortable. I blush, mutter an apology. Then, without warning, I burst out laughing. I look up, and see kid smiling, and then he starts to laugh. I stop laughing enough to hear his laughter. It's a bit low, but soft and nice. Come to think of it, I've never heard him laugh before. I decided that he should laugh more. I stop laughing altogether just to listen to him. I've never seen him truly before either. He's beautiful when he does. I look at him, and then slip my hand into his. He stops laughing abruptly, and looks at me, puzzled. I squeeze his hand, and he blushes. I smile encouragingly at him, and he smiles back. We walk out of the bathroom, backtrack a few steps so it didn't look like we actually came out of the bathroom, and we walk down the hall. I think I'm actually in love with him. I start to notice the small things about him, like how his golden eyes flickering the sun like a joyous fire, and how his jet black seems to wave in the breeze, and the tiny, extremely light freckles below his eyes. Instead of going back to class, I lead him to a private area of the front courtyard. I stare at him for a couple of seconds, and then lean forward to kiss him. It was bliss for me. His eyes were still open in shock, but they fluttered shut. He pulls me in closer, and grabs the back of my head gently. I put my hands on his shoulders. Then, we break apart. I hug him around his waist, and put my forehead on his chest. For some strange reason, I start crying into his shirt. He is startled again, just for one second, but then he hugs me back. He squeezes me in close. I hug him tighter, and he sets his chin on my head.

"Are you okay?" he asks me softly. I look up at him.

"Y-yeah. I don't know why I'm crying, though," I say.

"Maka?" he asks.

"Yeah?" I reply.

"I wanted to tell you this for a while, but I… I… I love you," he tells me. I'm slightly taken aback by this, but I smile up at him anyway.

"I love you too, Kid," I say.

Katsumi: Er… Didn't mean for it to end like that! But, I guess it's a good ending. I sometimes just go along with what the story tells me to. I think you know what I mean, right? Anyway, this turned out great! Don't forget to review! New chapter coming soon! Katsumi, out!
