Please Remember Me

Chapter 3-What?!

(Flashback from chapter 2)

The door to the infirmary's door opened and Stein came out.

"How is she?" Soul and Spirit asked at the same time running up to Stein. Stein sighed.

"I have some good news and some bad news. Maka's wrist and ankle will heal normally."

"That is good news." Soul said.

"Yes it is, but the bad news is..."

(End of flashback)

"Spit it out! What's the bad news?" Spirit yelled while grabbing Stein's jacket.

"Maka had memory lock. It mean all her memories still there, but they are locked. She won't remember any of us. I don't know how bad it is, but once she wakes up, I can see how bad it is." Stein explained as Spirit let Stein's jacket go.

"You got to be kidding! There is no way Maka's memory is lock!" Kid screamed.

"I wish I was kidding, Kid, but it is the truth. When she hit the wall after being thrown from the witch, Marsha, some how she locked her memories in her soul. If we can unlock her soul, her memories might come back. If we can't unlock her soul, everything we know and love about Maka will be lost, and she will never remember who she was." Stein sadly said, "You can go in now and see her, but keep it down. She will still need her rest. She could wake up any minute."

Everyone filed into the infirmary and went to the bed where Maka was laid. Soul pulled up a chair next to Maka's bed. She was in the same bed where he was when he was attacked by Crona. Sunlight poured onto Maka's face making her look like an angel sleeping. Everyone stood around her bed saying nothing. After a moan, a pair of olive-green eyes open, and looked around Maka's eyes fell on Soul. Maka tried to sat up. When she finally got into a comfy way, she looked at the group.

"Who are you all, and who am I?" Maka asked while looking at the group. Soul jumped up causing the chair to fall over and grabbed Maka's shoulders.

"You don't remember me, don't you? I'm your boyfriend, Soul. Your name is Maka, and you are my girlfriend." Soul explained as he shook her shoulders a little. Maka looked with a blank face. A small smile formed on her face.

"If you are my boyfriend, it shows that I have good taste." Maka giggled, "Who are these people?"

"Come on Maka! Don't remember me, Black*Star? We have been best friends since when we were young." Black*Star exclaimed. Maka looked at him confused for a second, closed her eyes and tried to remember. She dropped her head and started to fall into Soul's arms. Everyone was by her side in no time.

"I don't remember. I'm so sorry." Maka sobbed in Soul's arms, "I can't remember anything."

"Maka, your memory will come back with all our help." Spirit said as he rested his hand on his daughter's shoulder. Maka looked up at her father. She narrowed her eyes at the man with the red hair.

"You look like someone I know." Maka squeaked as she pointed to Spirit. Spirit looked at his daughter.

"What did you say, Maka?" Spirit asked.

"You are my father, I think. I can't remember."

"Yes, I'm your father who loves you so much."

"If you love me so much, like you claim, why do bring women home every night?" Everyone looked at Spirit. Spirit looked like he was caught with his hand in a cookie jar.

"I don't mean to, sweetie. Why don't come home with me tonight?" Spirit asked trying to shake off the hurt.

"I don't want to! I'm not going. I'm not leaving this bed! I don't want to live with you!"

"Maka, you haven't lived with your father for almost seven years now." Tsubaki explained. Maka looked at her with confusing eyes.

"What do you mean? Do I live on my own then or with someone?"

"You live with me, Maka. Do you remember?" Soul asked hoping that Maka's memory was returning. Maka looked at him with a blank look.

"I'm sorry, but no, I don't remember, but it is better than living with a cheater." Maka gave a small smile. Soul smiled back.

"MMMMAAAAKKKKAAAA! FATHER LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND WANTS YOU TO COME HOME WITH ME!" Spirit cried as he grabbed Maka.

"Let me go." Maka growled, and Soul started to pulled Spirit, "You are crushing me!"

Spirit finally let Maka go with tears in his eyes.

"Soul, can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?" Stein asked as he pushed up his glasses. Soul got up and followed Stein into the hallway. Stein shut the door behind them.

"Soul, I think there is a way that you can unlock her memories, but it might be risky."

"I don't care. I just want my Maka back."

"You will have to sync her soul with yours. I know she went into yours, and it might be a way to unlock hers, but you have to be careful. There are parts of the soul that shouldn't be go in. I'm not going to lie, but it might take sometime to do it."

"I don't care how long it takes. I want Maka back. I didn't fight with my father for the last five years to come back only to loose Maka. I love her so much."

"That is why I want you to do it. No one else. She only trusts you. I could see it in her eyes that the love she still have for you. I know that the old Maka is still there, and you can bring her back."

"I will bring her back, Stein. I promise you." Soul said.

"I know that I can count on you." Stein thought. Soul ginned as he turned and opened the door.

A few days later, Maka was released. Soul was carrying Maka on his back. They were both silence until Maka finally spoke.

"Soul, will like living with you?"

"Yes, Maka. You will."

"Soul, what was it like living with you before I forgot everything?"

"Well, we did have our fights, but we were always together. We fought missions, hung out with our friends, and we were had fun." Soul said as a tear fell down his cheek.

"Soul? What is wrong?" Maka asked as she noticed the tear fell from Soul's cheek.

"It is nothing. Just remembering all the times we had together. I promise you, Maka, that we will bring your memories back."

"I know that we will. Can we go to the park?"

"Sure if that is what you want."

As Soul made it to the park with Maka still on his back, he came to a bench. He bent down, and Maka slid off his back. Maka held on the bench until Soul turned around. They both sat down. After five minutes, Soul finally spoke and broke the silence.

"Are you ok, Maka?"

"I don't know. I feel like I know you from somewhere, but I can't remember. Everything is so messed up. Why can I remember my father, but not you or any of our friends? Everytime I try to think, my head hurts. I don't know what to do. I'm so confuse."

"Let's try something. It might help. Close your eyes and clear your mind."

"Will it hurt?"

"No, it won't. In fact, we did it many times before. You even saved me from the black blood."

"OK. black blood? What is that?"

"You will remember that later. Right now, just do what I say."

"Ok." Maka sighed and closed her eyes. Soul leaned his his head towards Maka's head until their foreheads touched. Soul closed his eyes and went into Maka's soul.

Soul's POV

As I walked around Maka's soul, I saw a few what look like doors that contained her memories. I walked up to one, and I placed my hand on it. I heard a click like it was unlocking. I moved my hand. I stood in front of the door and used both hands, opened the door. There was a bright light, and when I opened my eyes, a young version of Maka standing. She looked like she was about ten years old. She looked so cute with little red ribbons in her pigtails. She had on a red dress. She looked happy, so I shut the door and turned around to see a woman standing in front of me. She had long black hair that flowed down her back. Her blue eyes looked like blue crystals. She narrowed her eyes and continued looking at me.

"You don't belong here." The young woman growled. I took a step back. I was getting angry at the woman.

"Look, lady, I'm here to bring my girlfriend back." I snapped back.

"She doesn't want to be found. She is happy in the darkness."

"I know Maka, and she hates the dark. Tell me where she is."

"Foolish boy, you will have to get past me before you can see her ever again, and believe me, I'm not going make it easy for you. You want to know why her soul locked her memories? It is because she doesn't want to feel the pain anymore. She is in so much pain at the moment."

"I know she is in pain. It was because what my father did. I'm here for her. I want her back."

"Well, if you want her back that bad, you will have to go through me. This is your final warning."

"I will get her back." I growled as the woman left.

I pulled back from Maka's head and looked at her. She opened her eyes and looked at me.

"I can remember! I can remember a few things now." Maka exclaimed.

"What can you remember?"

"I remember my tenth birthday party. Black*Star was there, and he was being a pain. We got into a water balloon fight, and of course, I won. He got pissed off and stormed off. He pushed my cake onto the ground. I stood there and began to cried. I ran to my room. After an hour, I heard a knock on my door, and when I went to open it, there was Black*Star holding another birthday cake that he made. He said he was sorry, and the other wasn't godly enough for a god. It was so cute." Maka giggled. She yawned and laid her head on my shoulder. After a few quite minutes, I finally turned my head to look at Maka, and she was asleep. I got up, picked her up like a bride, and headed home.
