"Asura, it's time for breakfast!" Maka called from the kitchen. It had been a full two week since she had smiled a true smiled in front of him, and now she seemed to be getting the benefits. She was allowed out of her room, even outside. But she never went too far so she couldn't get back. She never thought she would be saying it but, she liked living in the old house with Asura. They had a lot in common, exact for the fact that he was an evil Kishin. They both liked reading and many other activates they could do together. They both even hated their fathers. Asura told her a few days ago that when he was growing up, his father would beat him until he was a bloody mess, and then yell at him for making the mess and ordering him to clean it up. However, Asura said it was okay because when he became a Kishin his father's soul was one of the first that he ate. Maka had gotten use to that fact thought. She would even serve souls to him, which at first felt wrong but he need to eat and that is what he preferred. Of course like anyone who eats souls, they can eat normal food to but Asura liked the human souls better. Today, Maka put on the table a big breakfast of eggs, and bacon, and sausage, and pancakes, and waffles, and a small bowl with five souls in it for Asura.

"It all looks so good; I don't know where to start." Asura said coming up behind her and giving her a hug. Maka smiled as they sat down and started to eat. They also talked about the normal stuff that they would talk about at breakfast. Such as how did they sleep, or any dreams Maka might have had. She no longer had the one about Soul becoming a Death Scythe and almost confessing to her, most of the time they were about little adventures from stories she had read, but the main characters had changed to being Asura and Maka. Asura would usually make fun of her but it was okay, because she made fun of herself too. Maka had never been so happy in her life. Even when her mother was around, and she didn't know her father was a womanizing bustard. The food was almost gone when they heard a commotion outside. "What could that be? It almost sounds like, like a car engine." Asura said, looking very puzzled to why a car would be out in the woods in the middle of nowhere.

"That's no car." Maka half whispered. She knew that sound all too well. She could pick that single one out a traffic jam full of them and honking and yelling. It was Soul's motorcycle. The one she had ridden on so many times before. The one the pair had used when she found Chrona. But it wasn't until she heard the load mouth, want-a-be ninja assassin that she started to get nervous. If Black*Star and Soul were here, that only meant Kid, Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty were her as well. She could have been able to tell Soul to leave, but not the whole gang.

"I the great Black*Star will find Maka and kill the Kishin, because I am destined to surpass the gods!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. He could never be the assassin he wanted to be because he was so dame load.

"SHUT UP BLACK*STAR!" Soul yelled to his stupid best friend. "You don't want to let them know we're here, do you? We all know the plan right? Get in, get Maka, and then get out." Soul said. Maka could hear them all perfectly. Soul and Kid talking about the best idea for a plan, Tsubaki trying to calm down Black*Star, Liz trying to get out of going inside the 'creepy' mansion, and Patty laughing and saying everything will be fine because her big sister was there. Asura looked back at Maka.

"What would you like to do?" He asked, and Maka stared at him thinking. "You can go back to your friends and go home," Asura started, and Maka's eyes widen. He wasn't really thinking of getting rid of her. She thought he enjoyed her company. Then again all he wanted to do was make her happy and see her true smile and he had done that, so what was the point of staying now? "You can go up to your room and lock the door, as they try to save you," Asura continued. Maka didn't know how to think about this one. Was Asura going to allow them to just barge into his home and steal her away, or was he going to fight back. Maka would have been heartbroken that he would not fight to keep her with him, but if he did fight she knew there would be more blood stains and ten new souls that would be added to the house's inventory. "Or you can leave with me." Asura finished. Maka gave a sigh of relief. She knew all along that he wouldn't let her go so easily.

"Isn't that choice simple?" Maka asked with a smile, getting out of her chair. Asura look despondently at the ground and Maka's smile faded. Did he really think that she would leave him? Of course that was what she wanted the first three days of her stay, but couldn't he see that she had changed? How could he think she would leave now? Hadn't she gone into the forest so many times already, and still hadn't she come back? "I'm staying with you." Maka said and Asura's head shot up. She walked over to him and gave him a large hug. "Just let me say good bye to my friends this time. Now you stay here, I will be right back." Maka joked as she walked to the front door. She was glad that she had gotten changed out of her pajamas. She opened the door and walked outside, immediately all her friends stopped talking and stared at her.

"MAKA!" They all yelled as they ran over to her to give her a huge hug. "We thought we lost you," they said again together, this made Maka laugh. However, before she could talk she was pulled onto Soul's motorcycle and was being driven away.

"Come on," Soul said as they drove away, "we have to get away from the Kishin before he realizes that you're gone." Maka eyes widen, she didn't want to leave but she also couldn't just jump off of Soul's motorcycle when he was going so fast. What could she do? She did the only thing she could think of doing.

"ASURA! HELP!" She yelled. He would come for her, and he would take her back, she knew he would. Soul looked back at her; he wouldn't understand that she wanted to stay. But they were too far away already, he couldn't hear her. Maka stared back in the direction of Asura's house. She knew he would be sitting at the kitchen table, most likely eating a little bit more of her food as he waited for her to come back. She felt a few tears roll down her cheek. "What is he going to do now? Is he going to hate me? Does he think that I wanted them to take me back?" Maka thought. "Oh, Asura, please forgive me." She stayed in her thoughts the rest of the way to Death City. Soul and the others brought her straight to Lord Death. Soul never brought up her cry for help.

"MAKA! MY BABY, HOW ARE YOU DOING?! DID THAT STUPID KISHIN HURT YOU IN ANY WAY?!" Her father yelled before she hit him on the head with her strongest *MAKACHOP*.

"Don't you dare call him stupid!" Maka yelled angrily. Everyone looked at her. "Why did you take me away?" She asked, in both a sad and angry voice.

"Maka, you were kidnapped by the Kishin! Why would you want to stay with him? It is not safe." Soul asked, almost heartbroken that she didn't want to be rescued and taken back to their home, where he would keep her safe.

"First off, 'Kishin' isn't his name. Its Asura, a kishin is just what he is." Maka said irritated, but she inwardly laughed when she realized she had used his own words. "Second, I wanted to stay because he was, is one of my best friends. He understands me, and he will protect me. It is safe."

"But Maka, Asura," Soul had to spit out his name, "eats pure human souls. You know that's against the rules." Everyone also knew Maka always followed the rules.

"The man has to eat." Maka shrugged, "So what."

"Maka, listen to yourself!" Soul yelled. "What would your mother think of you saying these things, and protecting him?" Soul really had no intention of using her mother against her but it seemed to have worked. Maka looked at the ground as she thought. What would her mother think of her wanting to stay with Asura? Her mother was the one who had made her decide to be a mister and hunt down Kishin eggs. Maka open her mouth to speak but couldn't find the words or the courage in her to tell everyone she still wanted to be with Asura. Luckily, she didn't have to, because Ox, Kim, and Killik came bursting through the door.

"Lord Death, we're sorry for the interruption, but the Kishin…. MAKA!" Kim screamed and ran up to her to give her a hug. "You're back!"

"Wait, you mentioned Asura. What's wrong?" Maka asked really worried. What happened to her beloved friend?

"What? Oh, the Kishin. He is outside right now, attacking the city." Kim said, looking up at Lord Death. Everyone's eyes grew wide.

"But don't worry, Sir. All the weapon and mister pairs available are already fighting back." Ox said. Soul turned to see how Maka would react to this but she was gone. She had already run out of the room to see Asura. Outside she watched as Asura floated above everyone. Maka almost started to cry when she all the students ganging up on him. Asura was strong; no doubting it, but not even her could take on so many people at the same time. Maka screamed when they made him fall to the earth. She ran over to where he feel and pushed everyone out of the way.

"EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM HIM!" she yelled. They all looked at her like she was crazy but stepped back. She ran over to his side as he stood up and gave him a huge hug. She heard dozens of gasps at her action but didn't care. "I'm so sorry, Asura. When I went to say good bye, they thought I was sneaking out and brought me back. Please don't be mad at me." Maka said. She didn't notice the rest of her friends also push through the crowd to see what was going on, but she didn't hear Soul's low growl he gave whenever another man got anywhere close to her.

"That's okay, Maka."Asura said rubbing the top of her head. "Why didn't you call for help?" He asked sweetly.

"BACK AWAY FROM MAKA, KISHIN!" Soul yelled over ever thing else that was going on. Maka and Asura ended their hug and turned to look at him.

"I have already told you, his name is Asura!" Maka yelled back. She took a deep breath before continuing. "And I'm going back with him no matter what anyone says or does." This made everyone start to whisper and gossip.

"What happened?" The kids asked each other.

"Maka is protecting the Kishin, and she says that she will be staying with him." Was the response that was giving back. Everyone waited for what was to happen next, but nobody moved. Never would anyone have thought that bookworm, goody-two-shoes Maka want to stay with the ultimate evil in the world. In the moments after Maka's brave statement, everyone was searching for the story. The first person to move was Asura. He placed his hands on Maka's shoulders, causing her to look up at him. He had a determined look on his face.

"If you are worried for her safety, I can assure no harm will come to her." Asura spoke in his gentleman's voice. Maka liked his gentleman's voice, it always was so proper. "On the other hand, if you wish just be near her then I would be happy to let you visit her every once in a while. She could even visit you; however it is always her decision in the end. We are not all caged animals that have to wait for our masters to tell us what we can do and where can we go." Asura looked down at her and smiled. "On a more personal note, I would like to reprimand you who called yourselves her friends. None of you could see how much she was in pain. That is why I took her away, to actually make her happy."

"You lie!" Soul screamed. "She was happy. She was smiling when she was with us! How would you even know if she was or wasn't happy?!"

"Could you not tell that the smile she gave off was fake?" Maka could tell Asura was starting to like teasing Soul, it made her smile. "And you saw her when she was in a group. I saw her when she was alone." Soul's eyes went wide, and she could see a little blood come dripping out of his nose, the perverts. But in his defense that's what Asura made it sound like.

"Just stop it." Maka growled stepping a bit closer to Asura. "I have had enough of all this fighting. I will be going with Asura. I will see you guys later if you want to come by." Maka turned to leave, but was stopped when Soul grabbed her from behind, span her around and kisses her full on the lips. Maka was shocked; this is what she had been waiting for Soul to do for the past few years, but now she didn't want it.

"Maka, please stay." Soul begged after he broke the kiss. He knew that the Maka he cared for was still in that big brain of hers, he just had to get it out. "For me, please." Soul could feel tears coming up in his eyes, but he wouldn't let them show. That would be un-cool.

"I'm sorry, Soul." Maka whispered. She couldn't talk anymore, she couldn't hurt him more. He was her partner and he had risked his life for her many times. Soul still got the message though. He looked at Asura with anger.

"If she gets even a little paper cut, I swear I will kill you." He said, and Asura nodded. He looks at Maka as she smiles, and now he could see how fake her other smile was. This one was her true smile. It took up her whole face, and even her eyes seemed to smile with her. He then watched as she walked away hand in hand with Asura. It reminded him of a father and a daughter walking home. "Be safe." He whispered under his breath. He then turned back walked back to his empty home for a nice long nap.
