Wow! A lot of you guys liked it! I'm really happy! You know, I let my cousin read the first chapter, and she went and told my mom I have talent. So, yeah, you ever find a book with Michelle Taylor as the author, you may want to read it. So, enough about me, to the totally awesome story I love so much!

~Maka's POV~

When I came back to headquarters, I saw no sign of guards outside our door. This is good, because our guards are really good at fighting. I mean, really good. Tsubaki must be telling them the plan. Wait, what plan? They probably came up with one while I was gone on my walk.

I hurried in, gently opening the door so it wouldn't squeak. There, Tsubaki and Liz were talking to one of the guards, Lilly, and had their backs to me. Lilly was facing me, but she was listening with rapt attention, which was to be expected. I blended into the shadows, and crept forward.

I came behind Liz and Tsubaki, hiding in their shadows. Quickly and quietly, I covered both of their mouths, holding back Liz's yelp of shock. "Rule 1 of Kishin; never let your guard down, "I hissed, before standing back and dropping my hands. "What the hell, Maka? "Liz glared at me. I shrugged at her.

"What's the plan? "I asked my closest friends, besides Patti. They explained it too me, and Lilly too, as they had just started explaining it to her. When they finished, I nodded at them, and then turned and faced Lilly. "Basically, we want you and another handful of girls to guard this place, "I told her, patting the wall fondly.

She nodded, and left to tell the girls I told her to tell. "So, Maka, as you know, you're at the front line. "Tsubaki told me quietly, and I snorted. "Of course I am! I'm the best fighter you've got! But, "I added, noticing Liz's glare, "I'm going to need all the help I can get ".

After I called together a meeting with the girls that were going with me, we headed out. Patti led us to an alley, about a mile away, where Amaya and Mori were waiting. As soon as I spotted them, I ran over to get a report. You got to do that as a leader, in case some of you didn't know.

"Maka, you'd never guess who we saw go in and out of there! "Amaya gasped when she saw me jogging over. "Who did you see? "I asked and stopped about a foot away from her. Tsubaki and Liz joined me when they spotted me, and Amaya waited patiently for them to join us.

"Well, Tsubaki, you may not like this, but… Well, Black Star went in, "Mori said, glancing at Tsubaki. Tsubaki was silent, her eyes widened in shock. I patted her arm, and then motioned for Mori to continue.

"Well… We also saw Death the Kid go in, "Amaya said, looking down. She made no secret of her crush on Kid, but then again, neither did Liz. I snorted, wondering what made the mayor's son want this life. "We saw several others and one with a hood over his head so we couldn't see his face. He let it down once he made it in, but we couldn't see… "Mori trailed off.

"Probably the leader of this filthy place, not wanting anyone outside to see his face. Makes me wonder who he is. "I shook my head. "It sounds to me like a lot of the popular boys are in this, "Tsubaki said carefully. It dawned on me that she was right. "Yeah, Kid, Black Star, their all in this! "I gasped. "You know, that Soul Evans is probably in this too, seeing as I saw him and Black Star discussing something earlier. "I said, and cursed myself for not caring.

Liz eyed me. She knew me the best out of all my girls, and she knew Soul and I had been childhood friends. But, in middle school, we had drifted apart. Now, I didn't care what Soul did, but somehow, this made me mad. I waved her off, and turned back to Mori and Amaya. I hugged them quickly, told them the plan, and sent them to wait with the other girls.

"You ready? "I asked as soon as Patti joined us. Patti cheered silently, Liz gave me thumbs up, and Tsubaki nodded solemnly. "Let's go then! "I yelled/whispered, and grabbed my scythe. Tsubaki unhooked her chain scythe, Liz and Patti their matching guns. Death City would hear gunfire tonight, and what was sad was that the police wouldn't even investigate it. We'd kill them anyways. Death City, Nevada was on the top killing list.

I gave the command for the girls to get their weapons ready, and when they did, I gave the sign for attack. The girls cheered silently, and our attack began.

I was at the front of our group, so I raised my scythe up and ran at the entrance to Blood Rush's hideout. I saw guards up ahead and beheaded them without even thinking. They probably didn't feel a thing, but what mattered was that they hadn't been able to let their comrades know we were on our way.

I let out a warrior whoop, and the alley began filled with cries of panicked men. I looked around, slow motion it seemed, as my friends attacked. I looked for anyone who needed my help, and saw one of my girls immediately. It was Sasha, and she was surrounded by three guys. None of them were familiar.

I thrust my scythe into the back of one, so far the point came out of his chest, kicked another in the back of his knees so he fell, and Sasha knifed the other one. I kicked the one guy who was starting to rise, and he fell unconscious. I had given the order to kill only a few and knock the rest unconscious.

Sasha nodded her thanks, and I looked around. Sasha gave her cry of warning to late, someone with silver hair came up and promptly hit my head with a wooden block, and everything faded out.

When I woke up, my head hurt a lot, so I closed my eyes again. I was sitting in an upright position, and my hands were cuffed to a pole. I squinted my eyes open, and I nearly fainted again. My captor was Soul, my childhood friend

"Ah, so you've awakened. It was very uncool for me to have to wait for it. "Soul told me, and I glared stonily back at him. "Who are you? "He murmured and lifted my chin up. "Let go of me! "I lashed out with my leg, missing, but proving my point. "Well, a feisty one, "He chuckled, and then looked at me seriously. "You remind me of a childhood friend. I miss her actually, "He added and my jaw dropped.

I closed it quickly, making it look like a yawn, but I'm not sure if he was fooled. He eyed me with his ruby red eyes, and grinned his signature shark tooth grin. I swear this kid must have a hard time brushing his teeth, because those things looked sharp. "Well, you obviously know me, so you must be DWMA. "He stated and I sneered at him.

"And I'll know who you are by Monday, seeing as you won't be going home anytime soon. "He got up, stretched, and walked away. "You will be fed, and led to the bathroom, but that's about it. "He walked back over, pacing. "Why did you attack? "He inquired. "You've killed some our girls. "I seethed at him through clenched teeth.

"Ah. Revenge, pretty uncool though. And no, I'm not aware of killing anymore of your girls tonight, and we did not capture anyone else. Why am I telling you this? I'm not sure, but it's uncool, "He shrugged, and this time he walked away without looking back.

How did I let this happen to myself?
