3 MONTH'S LATER
Maka's POV
Wow I can't believe our 3 month anniversary is tomorrow, it's been so perfect yeah sure we have had our fights but we quickly make up. I mean it's seriously amazing, we still haven't figured out how to tell our friends every time we think it's the perfect time something pops up. For example last Friday we were all having dinner at Kid's and just about when we were going to tell everyone, my cheater papa bursts through the door screaming something about how Lord Death can't send us on a mission in a couple of weeks. Things have been difficult when it comes to Soul and I, Kim tries to have it her way when Soul and I go on missions, and just because she's his girlfriend she wants to be his meister as well. Trust me it wouldn't work in a million years, last time she tried to hold him (in scythe form) she burned her hands when she tried to pick him up. I feel bad for Jacqueline though she told me that they were having problems resonating properly because their wavelengths wouldn't match up quite right, and Kim would yell at her saying that it was all her fault. Honestly Jacqueline doesn't know why they aren't resonating right, she believes that it's because she wants to wield Soul instead of her but who can be sure. I recently found out I could change into a scythe, however Liz is the only one that knows but then again she was with me when it happened. Not exactly sure how it happened but it was neat, anyway Soul and I are fine he still makes snarky comments about the differences between me and Kim. But honestly I couldn't care less and I think he's starting to notice that.
Normal POV
"Geez, Maka since when do you space off in class?" A groggy Soul asked. "Huh? Oh yeah sorry." Maka said jotting down the notes on the board. The walk to lunch was pretty unexciting, Liz kept glancing over at Maka the whole time with a worried expression. "Are you alright Maka? You seem kind of out of it lately." Tsubaki stated, she quickly put her hand up to feel Maka's temperature. "You're burning up, come on you need to go to the nurses office." Tsubaki's voice was gentle and comforting. "I'll take her!" Liz exclaimed, "Come on let's get going." The two walked off with their hands by their sides casually brushing up against each other.
Liz's POV
I have to admit, Maka does seem sick she's very pale. I wonder if she's gotten much sleep, I mean she hasn't said anything but I think Soul and Kim screwing often has fucked up her sleeping schedule."Baby, are you alright? Are you getting enough sleep?" I whispered, she looked at me droopy eyed and smiled. God I love her smile, makes me smile but I sensed something wrong.Luckily we reached the infirmary quickly, I looked over at Maka before we entered she seemed so out of it today. As soon as I opened the door, Maka took a step and passed out luckily I caught her.
Normal POV
Nygus and Professor Stein (who was randomly in the infirmary) rushed over to help put Maka onto one of the beds. "What happened?" Nygus asked grabbing a wet towel. "I don't know, she was spacing out and Tsubaki said she had a temperature so we were on our way here and all of a sudden she collapsed." The weapon said putting her head in her hands. "I'm going to get the thermometer." With that Nygus turned and left. "Liz can I ask you something?" Professor Stein asked, Liz nodded and he gestured for them both to sit. "How long have you too been dating?" Liz froze, all she could do was sit there wide eyed. "What the? How did you? Say what?" Finally speaking, those were the only words she could muster. He smirked, turning the screw a couple of times before answering. "I could tell by the way your souls would feel an intense love for each other, plus it helps the way you two look at each other." He smiled and leaned forward, putting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. "Wow, only four well now five people know about us I guess some people in our group don't really pay attention." She said intertwining hers and Maka's fingers together. "Who other than me knows?" Stein asked. "Kid and Tsubaki and both were by accident."
"How come no one else knows?"
"We've tried but something keeps coming up, please don't say anything to anyone we want them to hear it from us."
Stein nodded, "Are you guys ready for the jokes, and all of the rude comments? I know some of the students are nice, but some are just down right cruel."
Liz took a moment to respond but nodded, and quickly took her hand away from Maka's when Nygus came back. "Well that took longer than expected." Maka's temperature was very high, soon she began to wake up and in no time she wanted to go to class. "Why don't you and Liz go back to the gallows manor, I will speak to Lord Death so both of you can have the rest of the day off." Nygus left, and Stein looked over at the two. "I'll drive you so neither of you have to walk."
"Thanks for the ride." Liz waved goodbye as he drove away. Supporting some of Maka's weight they climbed the stairs and into Liz's room. She laid Maka on the bed, covering her with blankets and ran off to find a bowl and a cloth. About 5 minutes later she came back to a sleeping meister, softly as she could she soaked the cloth in water and placed it on Maka. The weapon placed the bowl on the nightstand and curled up next to her girlfriend.
"Where's Maka and Liz?" Tsubaki asked, but regretted it as she said it. "I'll text Liz and ask." Kid said sensing she was uncomfortable.
(Text: Bold Kid, Italics Liz)
Hey, where are you?
Huh? What, Kid why are you texting me?
Because, you and Maka disappeared and we were all worried. Are you both alright?
Well she and I went to the nurses and Maka passed out, so Professor Stein drove us home.
What? She fainted is she alright?
Yeah she's fine, her temperature has gone down some but she's gunna stay for a while until she gets better.
Do they know what caused her to faint?
No but I'm guessing exhaustion, she hasn't said anything but I think Kim has spent the night a lot. If you get my meaning.
Yeah, alright she can stay are you alright?
I'm upset but I will be okay, thanks Kid your concern for Maka it means more to me than you think.
Anytime, she's my friend too be safe.
"Is everything okay?" Tsubaki asked, scooting away from Kim and Soul. Everyone was at lunch, and of course they all had to bombard one table leaving hardly anywhere to sit let alone eat. "Soul, how long has Kim 'stayed the night?' This week?" Kid asked putting his phone away. "Why the hell would that be your business anyway Kid? It's not affecting your life so stay out of it?" Kim snapped. "It is affecting Maka, she passed out and now she's asleep at my place so It's safe to say it is my business." He snapped back. "What Maka's sick? We need to go over there now." Black Star said surprisingly sounding serious. "Don't worry Liz is taking care of her, but she has a fever and I think she fainted because of exhaustion." Kid stated matter -of-factly. "Plus that much sex cannot be healthy, for both of you as well as Maka."
"You know what Kid, stay out of our business." Soul spat before grabbing Kim and leaving. "Is it just me or has Soul gotten more irritating lately?" Black Star asked grabbing an orange. "I think Kim might have done that to him." Tsubaki stated taking the orange from Black Star, who had given up trying to peel it.
"Babe you're up!" Liz said/shouted. She ran over and threw her arms around her girlfriend, practically squeezing her to death. "Liz…can't….breathe…" The green eyed girl choked out. "Oh…sorry." The blue eyed beauty said with a small frown and pulled away. The meister leaned forward and kissed her, pulling away she smiled and touched her lips. Her girlfriend smiled and put her hand to Maka's forehead. "Well, your temperature is back down do you remember anything?" Maka just shook her head in response. Liz sighed and explained what happened, Maka sat their wide eyed through the whole thing. "Maka, can I ask you something?" Maka nodded. "Why haven't you told me that Kim and Soul were keeping you up?"
"…"Maka's eyes were on her twiddling fingers.
"Do you not trust me baby? Did I do something?" Liz's voice cracked, Maka's hand intertwined with hers. The weapon looked up, tears streaming down her face.
"Of course I trust you and you did nothing wrong. I just didn't want to sound whiney or become a burden to you." She said wrapping her arms around her lover. "You could never be a burden or whiney, just tell me what's going on I'm here for you." The weapon pulled away and kissed her lover with intense passion.
Today was the day when the group was going to go on a dangerous mission to Stoic Island. There were 6 pre –kishin's and minions. "Come on Soul, the jet will leave without us if YOU DON'T HURRY UP!" A very loud and well rested Maka yelled. "ARG HOLD ON WOMAN!" Soul shouted back, he kissed a pouty Kim then sprinted up the stairs of the jet. "Maka I need to have a chat with you." Kim said, Maka sighed and walked over to her. "Yes Kim?"
"Please make sure Soul makes it home safely." Kim said with sadness in her voice. Maka understood where she was coming from, she too does care about Soul's wellbeing. She slowly nodded and walked into the jet. Seating arrangements: Soul, Black Star will sit together. Kid, Patty and Tsubaki will sit together (for symmetry of course.) Lastly Liz and Maka. Soon the jet took off and everyone began doing their own thing. Kid was listening to his IPod; Patty was playing with her stuffed giraffes while Tsubaki, Liz and Maka were talking. Black Star was asleep and Soul was on his phone, talking to/arguing with Kim about his possibility of cheating.
Maka's POV
Gosh how long is this plane ride? I. Am. Going. To. Implode. I checked the time on my phone. Seriously? We still have 8 more hours. AGH! I give up!"Liz? Are you up?" I whispered looking around. Everyone must have gotten bored and fell asleep. "Yeah, I'm up are you alright?" She asked, shifting to face me. "Yeah, I was just wondering if you wanted to celebrate our anniversary after the mission?" I asked smiling, god she looks beautiful in this light. "Well they have a beach right? Well why don't we celebrate it there?" She said running her fingers through her hair. "Good idea." I said grabbing her hand and kissing it.
Normal POV
Liz smiled at Maka carefully she moved the cup holder, so she could lie in her lap. Maka had her back against the window with a pillow behind her, spreading her legs so Liz could lie in between them and laid her head on Maka's shoulder with a blanket wrapped around both. "Goodnight baby I love you." Said Liz snuggling close to Maka. "I love you too honey." Maka stated cuddling close. Soon sleep took over both of them and quietly they slept.
Liz's POV
I woke up to find everyone still sleeping, I decided it might be best to get ready we were going to land soon and I didn't want to look frumpy in front of my girlfriend. After my shower I changed into white skinny jeans, with a black spaghetti strap shirt and a black shirt over that with the sleeves and the sides cut out. With red pumps and some gold jewelry, my make-up was simple mascara and red lipstick and I curled my hair. Hey I got to look good for my woman don't I? CRASH! I threw the door open, only to find Soul and Black Star wrestling over what looked like a cell phone.
Normal POV
Liz walked back to her seat, Maka practically jumped with excitement seeing her. After everyone was finished getting ready; Black Star wore a midnight blue muscle shirt with grey pants and his black and grey combat boots. Soul wore a black jacket and an orange undershirt with brown pants and his usual black and orange boots. Kid wore his usual dress shirt with his dress pants and dress shoes. Patty wore blue short – shorts with a frilly yellow top and wedges. Tsubaki wore a red shirt short sleeve shirt that was open in the back, and white shorts with a sandal. Maka wore blue and white tie-die skinny jeans with a white off the shoulder shirt, and a black leather jacket with black pumps. Her hair from her normal pigtails was down and wavy, ever since she had been dating Liz she didn't dress childish anymore. They got off the jet and checked into the hotel, despite the name the island really was a wonderful place to be. As they were being helped into their rooms, the bellboy was getting to close for comfort. He was flirting with Liz and no matter how many times she said she wasn't interested, he didn't leave her alone so Maka took the opportunity to hand him a $5 and shove him out of the room. Liz mouthed 'thanks' before carrying her bags to her room.
"MISSION TIME!" Patty shouted, running around in circles. Conveniently the pre-kishin's 'lair' as Black Star would say, was in a dormant volcano of course. "It's hot, why is it hot?" Black Star asked running ahead of the group. "It's a volcano, of course it's hot even if its dormant." Kid stated flying above them on Beelzebub. "Kid, you and Maka are a so much alike maybe you guys should start dating." The electric blue haired meister stated, making Kid and Maka stop moving and look at each other. "Maka why did you stop?" Soul asked (in scythe form) which caused Black Star, to stop and look over at them. "Wait! You two aren't dating are you?" Black Star asked, making Kid, Tsubaki, Liz and Maka sweat drop. Liz (in weapon form) said "I think it's time we tell them, even if it may not be the best time." Kid taking the hint threw both Patty, and Liz back so they could change into human form. "Kid isn't dating Maka, I am." Liz said smiling over at Maka who also had a smile. "HA HA! Wait, What?" Black Star said, completely clueless (as usual).
"Liz and I, have been dating for the past three months."
"But, I thought you were straight." Soul said.
"Well that's the thing I thought I was to, but Liz and I connected."
"Well I'm confused." Black Star replied (of course).
"Look it's hard to explain but we love each other; can we please finish this after the mission?" Liz asked peering over her shoulder. Maka could tell something was up, so she decided to try soul perception.
"GUYS! THEIR COMING RIGHT FOR US!" Maka screamed and took a defense pose, Liz and Patty changed into pistol mode. "LET'S DO THIS!"
The first pre-kishin gave a horrendous battle cry before leaping forward. Soon he was shot down, by one of Kid's bullets "YE BRAT I'LL MAKE YA REGRET, WHAT YA DID!" He yelled. Soon the other pre – kishin's were there and not exactly the happiest. Maka took a swing at one in front of her, he had a long spike out of his nose he was also Christmas colors (I shall call him rhino). The one Black Star was fighting a deep purple one with spikes, on his upper arms and a blade as a foot. (he's the one who yelled, I shall call him matey.) The third had finger blades, and spikes all along his back (his name shall be hedgehog.)
Soon they were surrounded by all of the kishins and they were pretty thought out, with their movement it was almost like clockwork. "MAKAAAA!" She heard in the distance.
