Please Remember Me

Chapter 4-The Protector?

Soul's POV

I went to Stein's the next morning while Kid, Liz, and Patty stayed with Maka. I needed to ask him who was that woman in Maka's mind. The woman was really cold. Even her eyes gave me the chills. I finally made it to Stein's office. I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard Stein yelled. I opened the door and walked in.

"How can I help you, Soul? How is Maka?"

"Well, the good news is that she got a little bit of her memory back. She can remember things until she is about ten, but it is still three years before she met me."

"But she is starting remember, and that is great!"

"There is only one problem. When I went into her mind, a young woman came up to me. She told me that I didn't belong, and get out. She even told me that Maka was happy in the darkness. She told me that if I did continued going into Maka's mind, she wouldn't make it easy for me to unlock more Maka's memories."

"It sounds like that the woman is a protector."

"What is a protector?"

"Soul, a protector is something that protects the person that they are in from harm. The way you explained the woman to me, it sounds like she is Maka's protector. She wants to protect Maka. She is protecting something that Maka wants no one to know. She knows something."

"What could she be protecting that she doesn't want anyone to know?" I asked.

"I don't know. The only thing I can tell you is ask Spirit. Maybe he would know."

"Thanks Stein."

"You are welcome, Soul. Keep me updated on Maka."

"I will, Stein." I said as I walked out the door to find Spirit. I finally found Spirit at the park. He was sitting on the bench with his hair covering his eyes. I walked up to him.

"Yo, Spirit!" I called. Spirit looked up. I knew he was trying to hide his tears. He must be really hurt about all this with Maka. I don't blame him. I'm hurt too.

"What do you want, Soul?" Spirit growled.

"I need your help."

"With what?"

"When I went into Maka's soul, I was confronted by a young woman who had long, black hair and icy, cold, blue eyes. She said that I didn't belong in Maka's soul. Do you know anyone like that?" Spirit's eyes got wide like he knew something.

"It can't be." Spirit said...

(Author's Note: Sorry for the short chapter. Who is Maka's protector, and does Spirit know who can it be? Keep on reading and reviewing! Thanks!)
