Heaven or Hell

It was the beginning of February in Death City. Everything was like spring in the middle of the desert for this city. Sakura trees were in full bloom, middle schoolers looked for other DWMA schools near home wishing not to go to the giant DWMA delinquent school in the middle of the city that was once the top school around the world among all DWMA schools. Nothing has changed or faltered no matter how many people came in went spiritually and physically through the city. Though even now the counsel of the best Miester and Death Scythes still gathered with Lord Death to this day to decide on the fate of Tim whom was still in confinement in his true form of a seventeen year old teenager.

It was a sweet afternoon and the meeting for the seventh time has still not reached a final verdict at the end of the meeting. As Lord Death stared transfixed at the mirror in the Death Room the Miesters and Weapons rolled the large round table out of the Death Room except for one with a giant screw in his head and a cigaret in his mouth. Stein walked up to Lord Death and staring blankly at the mirror alongside the Shinigami.

"You know I admire how well you combed and planned all of this curse problems out carefully Death," Stein said, puffing smoke skulls from his mouth.

"I don't know what you mean Stein," Lord Death said.

"Really, so your telling me that right after you killed the three witches that cursed your son and six other unborn children, you looked into the souls of every unborn child in the city that year and picked out the six that had weak soul wave lengths weak from an unnatural cause. When you found out Maria's child was related to Spirit you used the forbidden time magic from an allying witch to keep him ten years apart from Maka, knowing it would disrupt your plans if she knew he was her brother.

Then you deliberately sacrificed your golden school into a delinquent school to group together the main children who seemed to be the six cursed, but to keep on the safe side and not make any mistakes you had other kids go to this school using your connection of Azusa who was the principal of the only middle school district in the city. When you saw the demon and the angel attached to Maka`s soul, you sent her out on that mission in the Himilayas to back up your hypothesis, if it were correct you would have Kim come tell all seven of them the truth.

You then had me become a teacher here so that I can keep an eye on the students who were friends with Kid. However you took a miss step and believed those witches words of friendship being the way out when in reality it was the great downfall of it all. You even had Kid become persistent of Maka becoming married to his soul, just to keep the curse from coming true. Maka still found Tim either way and in all the time space you put between them began to fade and the spell was broken when he was becoming a Kishin.

It was almost perfect."

"Hahahaha! There's a reason why you one of my smartest Meisters Stein," Lord Death bellowed slapping Stein in the back.

"Lord Death!"

The two looking in the mirror turned around to see the distressed Spirit Albarn run up to them.

"Yes Spirit?" Lord Death said greeting his Weapon.

"You can erase memories and change a soul right!"

"Yes."

"Then I have a request for you as a friend! Please... I want you to kill, no, clean the madness in Tim's soul and erase all his memories... I want to do the right thing, I never knew I had a son, my daughter is dead and I know I'm not the greatest father, but... But I want to raise a family! I want to get to know my son and become faithful with the one I love as a husband and a father!" Spirit was on his knees now, begging out to the god of death to change his life.

"Professionally, I would firmly decline, but as a friend, I'll do it."

Spirit looked up at Lord Death with tearful blue eyes. By now he would be jumping up and down while crying out in joy, but instead he laid his head back down.

"Thank you."

Yes nothing normally drastic has changed in Death City. Blair the magical cat still worked at Chuppa Cabras. Spirit grew up and stopped going to bars on the weekends or Fridays and kept thinking how he can become a good father figure as he patiently waited for Tim to go back to what the world thought as normal. Liz kept on bugging Corona and Kid, even though she still claims that she doesn't have a crush on Kid. BlackStar moved in with Tsubaki after the big New Years eve party at Kid's house. And as for Soul, well let's just see what he was doing now.

The white haired boy was looking through the black bars that fenced the area around the cemetery. The white petals of the blooming sakura trees perfumed the air with it's fragrance. Soul remembered the smell quite as well on the day Maka was buried. He only wished he had remembered her scent instead, just to have the whole image of her branded in his mind one more time. Yes it was love, he would love her even after death, he wouldn't care if love was unrequited he just wanted her know that he did love her.

Soul walked into the cemetery ignoring some people that were there, he was only focused on that tombstone with her name on it. He didn't know why he was there, it wasn't her death day or even the day she was buried, he was just wanting to visit her again.

Then it happened.

A gray glow came from the ground mound symboling where Maka was buried. A tiny translucent gray glowing hand came up from the ground and up followed the rest of Maka's spirit until she was floating above ground holding a small white orb in her hand. She did a little victory jig for a moment before bringing the other half of her soul to her pendant which gladly received her soul.

Soul stood there shocked at what he saw.

"Maka," he breathed in disbelief.

Maka looked down at Soul.

"Impossible its like he can see me, but that's not possible, is it possible now that I can go through the gates now?"

"I can see you," Soul said.

Maka's expression went to confused to an odd type of expression between happy and sad. She dropped down and fell on Soul while crying out his name in joy. Soul fell back in surprise at how her weight fell onto him suddenly. Maka sat up on him and touched his face while her eyes stared in fascination at how she can touch him. Even though her hands were ice cold, Soul was glad he had this moment with his dead lover. Then suddenly Maka bursted into tears.

"Why, I don't want to leave I want to stay here, I don't want to go to Heaven or Hell, it's a cruel place Soul, I hope you never get to face what I have to and have a whole soul so you don't have to choose," she sobbed even though she didn't have the body to produce tears.

"Then stay here, and don't ever leave my side, its ok if it's only you," Soul said lifting Maka's chin up so he can give her a wholehearted smile.

Then Soul sat up and laid a long kiss on Maka's lips. When he puled back Maka attacked him with a tight hug. Maka leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Thank you for always loving me, but either way were going to be apart for a long time, but my soul and heart will always belong to you."

Soul jerked back trying to get her to face him.

"Maka, what are you talking about? It sounds like your leaving."

"I have to, once I regain my soul from this world I have to go back or there won't be any part of myself left for you to be with."

Maka's body began to glow a bright white, tiny beads of lights from her body began to leave from her being up to the sky. Maka puled back, touched her hands one last time to Soul's face and stared into his eyes. Before she vanished along with the sudden white swirling gust of sakura petals.

The End

{A/N: And that was the end. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for staying along with the story, I hope it was a great and memorable story. Yes I know it's odd that I did not put a cute last quote, but in the end all you can write is for the readers to imagine what happens after The End. The whole series of Angel or Demon and Heaven or Hell, was ispired by two songs. One was Angels by Within Temptation and the other was a song from a piano I heard one day. You see I`m sort of a visionary, I get inspirations from music, visuals and a handfull of stuff I can`t even explain myself. When I head the Lyrics from Angels which was:

"I see the angels, I`ll lead them to your door"

I thought a million things, and I kept replaying those lyrics over and over, even when the song was long gone while I was locked in my thoughts, over and over. I also think about demons when I think about angels and thats what I thought about. I thought about how someone cruely told me angels and demons dont coexist in the same being. But the more I think about that the more I think, what character would fit the role of the tragic heroine who was able to see the angels and demons towards the end? Maka fit the role perfectly, but of course the first main chunk (which was the begining in AoD) had to be based on her demon side awakening. Simply once both sides of her was awkened would she really carry on the role as a pawn.

And thats how I planned it out, the rest just wrote itself!

Please check out my other Soul Eater stories on my account I think they are equally pleasing as this story, but not as memorable I hope. And leave a review even if it's an ending chapter, I want to hear and read what people thought of my story.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year!
