Please Remember Me

Chapter 7-Laura's past

(Flashback)

"Hey, Black*Star? Can you come over here for a minute?" I yelled.

"What's up, Soul?" Black*Star came up to me. I let him into my room and shut the door.

"I need to talk to Spirit. Can you and Tsubaki watch over Maka while I'm gone?"

"Sure, Soul. After all, Maka is like a little sister to me." Black*Star stated. He turned his head to my desk. I forgot about the newspaper clippings on my desk. His eyes grew big.

"How and where did you get these?" He asked as he picked up the clippings.

"Spirit dropped them off the last time he came over. Why? Is there something you know about the girl?"

"Yes, I do. She was one of Maka's and mine best friends. Don't let Maka see these."

"Why?"

"It will break her heart again."

"Do you know what happen?"

"Her name was..."

(End of Flashback)

(Soul's POV)

"Her name was Laura. When we were four, she moved into the house right across the street of Maka. The first time I met her, she had long black hair that was in the middle of her back. Her eyes where an icy blue. She was kinda cold when you first met her, but she shortly warmed up to you when she got to know you. She was very protective of Maka and I. I can remember, when we where about six, Maka was getting bullied on by some older boys. Laura found out, came up to the boys, and punched them. She broke one of their noses all because they where pulling on Maka's pig tails. Laura acted like a big sister to Maka and I. She always looking out for others. She even protected Maka and I on that day." Black*Star explained sadly.

"What happen on that day?" I asked.

"It started out with Maka and I where over at Laura's parent's place. It was storming really bad. The power went out, and Maka got scared. Laura and I tried to calming Maka down when we heard a loud crash downstairs. The only one home besides us was Laura's father. No one knew what happen, but out of nowhere, a kishin showed up. It started to go after us. Laura grabbed our hands and was trying to get us away from the kishin. Somehow, we got ourselves backed into a corner. Laura stood in front of us with her arms wide opened trying to save us. The kishin slashed Laura in the chest. Laura fell to the ground. I held Maka in the corner. We closed our eyes waiting for the kishin to kill us next, but it never came. Spirit and Stein came and killed the kishin just in time before it had a chance to hurt Maka and I. I let Maka go, and she ran up to Laura's body. I went next to Maka. Maka held Laura in her arms crying. Laura told Maka to be strong, and for me to look after Maka. I promised Laura that I would be there for Maka no matter what. Laura told us she loved us both, and we where like family to her. She passed away after that. When Stein tried to pick up Laura's body, Maka wouldn't let go. Spirit and I finally pulled Maka away she collapsed. She was in the hospital for almost a month. After the day Laura died, Maka became different. She always had her nose in books. She became who you know now. Maka became so cold until you came around, Soul. When you came, she was opening up. I could see the old Maka coming through. I miss that Maka."

"That explains why Maka wants to always protect and get stronger. She feels like it was her fault for Laura's death. The only question I have is where Laura's parents now?"

"Laura's mother killed herself shortly after Laura's death, and we still think the kishin was Laura's father. He had a dark side to him. He was just creepy. No one saw him after the kishin attacked Laura, Maka, and I. "

"Thank you for telling me all this. It helps a lot."

"You are welcome, but don't tell Maka. We don't want to loose her like we almost did last time. I don't think I can go through another lost. Laura was one of my best friends, like you are, and Maka is my little sister. I don't want to loose Maka."

"I promise I will get Maka back. We won't loose her." I said as I put a hand on Black*Star's shoulder, "Maka means the world to us, and now I know why she is very protective, I will fight to bring her back. I promise. Maka, just hold on."

(Author's Note: Here is chapter 7. Keep on reading to find out who is the protector and if Maka gets her memories back. Keep on reading and reviewing. Thank you for reading!)
