Please Remember Me
Chapter 5-No Way!
(Mini Flashback)
"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...
(End Of Flashback)
Soul's POV
"It can't be what?" I asked. Spirit got up and started to run.
"I will be back. I need to do something." He yelled leaving me really confused. I sat down on the bench. I don't know how long I was sitting there, but when I finally looked at my phone, it said it was almost six. I told Kid that I would be back by three. I got up and headed to the apartment. Once, I got to the apartment, I opened the door to find everything in symmetrical order. Kid was sitting on the couch next to Liz and Patty watching TV quietly. I noticed Maka was on the other couch with her ankle up sleeping. I pulled up a chair next to Maka.
"Welcome back." Kid greeted in a low voice.
"Thanks. How was Maka?" I asked.
"She was quiet. She read a lot. She passed out around two, and she is still sleeping. She didn't talk much. Did you talk to Stein?"
"Ya, and he explained that the woman inside Maka's soul might be a protector."
"What is a protector?" Patty asked.
"A protector is someone who protects the host's soul from harm. That is what Stein explained me. He also told me to talk to Spirit about it. When I did talked to Spirit about it, Spirit said it couldn't be and ran away. I have a feeling he knows something." I said. Maka started to wake up. I looked down into the olive-green orbs that I loved so much. She stretched and yawn.
"Hi Soul! When did you get back?" Maka asked.
"I just got back about ten minutes ago. Did you have a nice nap?"
"Yes, I did." Maka chirped with a smile.
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel ok. Kid, Liz, and Patty was keeping me company. I'm hungry."
"Ok, let's get some dinner. Kid, would you, Liz, and Patty like to stay for dinner?" I asked.
"If you don't mind." Kid said.
"Maka, is that ok they eat dinner with us?" I asked. Maka sat up.
"I don't mind. I enjoy them here." Maka commented.
"Ok, how about pizza?" I asked.
"I'm up for that." Liz stated.
"Me too!" Patty chimed.
"That isn't a problem with me." Kid said.
"Ok." I said as I picked up the phone to place an order. I ordered three extra large pizzas. I had a feeling there was going be more people showing up soon. I placed the order and got off the phone. I went to sit down next Maka on the couch when I heard pounding on the door.
"OPEN THIS DOOR! YOUR GOD DEMANDS YOU!" There was no mistaken that voice. It was Black*Star's.
"Black*Star, calm down." Tsubaki said through the door. I went and opened the door for them. I shut the door behind them and headed to the couch. I sat down next to Maka.
"Hi Black*Star!" Maka chirped with a huge smile. Black*Star sat on the chair next to Maka. Even with him being as hyper as he was, he had a soft side too.
"Hi everyone!" Tsubaki stated as waving.
"Hi Black*Star and Tsubaki." Kid, Liz, Patty and I said.
"How are you feeling, Maka?" I heard Black*Star asked.
"I feel ok. I still can't remember, but what I can remember is my ten year birthday party. Remember how you got mad at me for winning the water balloon fight."
"Yes. I remember that. I'm so sorry for ruining your cake."
"It is ok. You made another one, and it was great." Maka giggled. I had to smiled. We heard a knocked on the door. I got up and opened the door to see Spirit there. He had a bag in his hands.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"Sure." I said. He came in, and I shut the door behind him.
"Soul, I need to talk to you in private." Spirit finally spoke after a few seconds.
"Kid, can you watch Maka? I need to talk to Spirit alone for a second. Here is the money for the pizzas." I said as I tossed Kid the money. He caught it.
"Sure Soul." Kid said. I led Spirit into my room and shut the door.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Remember earlier, when you asked about the woman in Maka's soul? Well, I think it could be someone that I knew when Maka was younger, but that person died when she was only seven. I brought a few things over on her, and some pictures of Maka when she was younger. I'm hoping this will help." Spirit said handing me the bag. I looked into it. I could see a few picture albums and few newspaper clippings. I put them on the floor next to my desk.
"What is the newspaper clippings for?"
"Just read them. Just don't let Maka see the newspaper clippings. They will bring something that I don't ever want to relive. It was hell the first time." Spirit said as clouds cover his eyes. I wonder what he meant until I heard a knock on my door.
"The pizza is here." I heard Kid said.
"OK. Thanks Kid. We will be out in a second." I yelled, "Spirit, would you like to join us for dinner?"
"Would Maka mind? I know how much she hates me."
"I don't think Maka hates you. She get annoyed with your actions, but I know she still loves you. She just won't say it. We both know Maka too well." I chuckled. Spirit smiled.
"You aren't bad, Soul. I also wanted to say sorry for my actions when you returned. I was out of line. Stein and I talked about it, and I realized it wasn't your fault that you left. I'm glad you are back, Soul."
"Thanks, Spirit. I'm glad that I back too. Now, let's have some pizza before Black*Star eats it all." I said as I slapped Spirit's back.
(A Few Hours Later)
(Still Soul's POV)
After everyone was done eating and cleaning, they went home leaving Maka and me. I made sure Maka took her pain pill. We sat on the couch and watched TV. After twenty minutes, I looked over and saw Maka passed out. I picked her up and carried her to her room. I pulled the blanket back on her bed, gently put her down in her bed, and covered her back up. I kissed her on the forehead. She looked so peacefully sleeping. I left the room quietly and shut the door. I looked at the clock. It said it was ten. I shut off the TV and went into my bedroom. I picked up the bag of stuff Spirit brought over and put it on my desk. I sat down, opened the bag and began to look through stuff. The first picture album was Maka's baby pictures until she was three. She was a cute baby. I opened the second album. It was pictures of her from four until I guess she was seven. I took out the newspaper clippings. I began to reading them until I got to the last one. I gasped. There was a picture of a young girl on it. It was the younger version of Maka's protector.
"NO WAY!" I thought.
