Please Remember Me

Chapter 8-The day at the park and the kishin

Soul's POV

"Thank you, Black*Star for telling me. Maka never said a word." I said to Black*Star.

"Honestly, I don't think Maka remembers what happen, and if she did, she wouldn't say anything. She acts so tough all the time. She doesn't show her emotions that offen. You are the first person who got her to show her true smile since Laura's death."

I patted Back*Star's shoulder. We exited my room and went into the kitchen where Maka and Tsubaki. Tsubaki was wiping down the counter top while Maka was sitting at the table. I walked up beside Maka.

"Tsubaki, can you and Black*Star watch Maka? I need to talk to someone." I asked.

"Sure, she will be in good hands." Tsubaki stated.

"Where are you going, Soul?" Maka asked worried.

"I need to talk to someone, but I won't be to long. I will be back before you know it. I promise." I winked at Maka. She smiled at me. I melted. I love her so much.

"Hurry back, Soul. I love you."

"I love you too, my Angel." I headed to the door, "I will be back before you know it. I promise."

I repeated in my head what Black*Star told me about Laura. The protector does really look like Laura, but I wanted to talk to Spirit to make sure. I found him at his place. I knocked on his door, and shortly he answered it.

"Hello Soul, what brings you here? Is everything ok with Maka?" He asked.

"Maka is doing fine. Black*Star and Tsubaki is with her now. I need to ask a few questions."

"Come on in." Spirit said as he held the door open.

(Black*Star's POV)

It was great to see Maka laughing again. I really did miss that side of her.

"Hey, Black*Star? Can we go to the park?" Maka asked.

"Are you feeling up to it?"

"I feel fine. I really want to get out of here. I'm bored."

"Yes, we can go to the park, but you will have to change first." Maka got up and went into her room.

"Is it ok for her to go to the park?" Tsubaki asked.

"I don't see any harm. Plus, we will be there, and we won't let anyone or anything hurt her."

"Will Soul get angry?"

"I don't think so. I think he would want her to have some fun."

"Maybe you are right, and it will be better for her to have some fun." Tsubaki said with a smile. We heard Maka going between her room and the bathroom. After ten minutes, Maka came out. She had a pair of blue jeans on with a long sleeve green shirt on. Her hair was in the two pigtails.

"Are you ready?" She asked as she got her shoes on.

"You should grab a jacket. It is a little chilly." Tsubaki stated. Maka went into the closet, and grabbed Soul's old jacket. I sent a text to Soul letting him know that we are heading to the park.

"Can we go now?" Maka asked. I chuckled a little. She reminded me when she was six.

"Ok, Let's go." I said.

(Soul's POV)

I got the text from Black*Star saying that Maka, Tsubaki, and he were going to the park. I text him back to be careful with Maka. I didn't need anything else happening to her. She is my everything.

"Soul, you said the Protector looks like Laura?" Spirit asked.

"Yes, she does. She keeps on saying that I have to fight her to bring Maka back."

"Let me guess. You don't want to fight her."

"Right. What can I do?"

"Try talking to her. Maybe it will help. Try to get her to open up. If she opens up, maybe she can tell you will Maka is."

"That could work. Thank you, Spirit."

"You are welcome, Soul. I just want Maka back. I miss her."

"I miss her too, Spirit. Black*Star told me about Laura and that day."

"It was a nightmare, Soul. Maka loved Laura like a sister. I can remember when Maka first brought Laura over. Laura's long black hair flowed down her back. Her eyes where an ice blue. She was a little cold at first, but once she warmed up to you, Laura was a very sweet girl. She adored Maka and Black*Star. She would do anything for them. Laura was an only child. Her mother couldn't have anymore kids, and he father was always gone. He was always working out of town. He did everything for them. Laura was his world. Laura treated Maka and Black*Star like they were her sister and brother. I will never forget that day. It was a day that changed Maka forever."

"I promise, Spirit. I will bring Maka back."

"I know you will, Soul. I have faith in you." Spirit smiled at me.

(Black*Star's POV)

We made to the park. Tsubaki and I sat on the bench while Maka looked around a bit. She had a smile on her face.

"Black*Star? Will Maka ever be herself again?"

"She will be her old self soon. Soul is working on bring her back. I know he will. He loves her. He will do anything to bring her back."

"I hate it how she can't remember who is her friends."

"I think she knows we are her friends. I know she will return to us. I know Maka loves us way to much to lose us. I promise, Tsubaki, she will come back to us." I said with a smile. My smile quickly dropped when the ground began to shake. Maka came running back to us as fast as she could. She did a dead stop in front of Tsubaki and me. I looked up to see a kishin coming up behind her. It fangs dripped with venom. Its claws where sharp.

"Black*Star, what is that thing?" She asked as she pointed at the kishin. I pulled out my cell phone and toss it to Tsubaki.

"Call Soul, Tsubaki." I barked. I saw Tsubaki dialed Soul's number. I heard Tsubaki yelling on the phone with Soul. She hung up the phone and toss it back. Kishin started to come closer.

"Maka, RUN!" I yelled, "Tsubaki, Let's go!"

"Ok! Enchanted Sword!" Tsubaki yelled.

(Soul's POV)

I felt my phone vibrating. It was Tsubaki. I looked at it and answer it.

"Tsubaki, what's up?"

"Soul! How fast can you come to the park?! There is a kishin, and it's after Maka!"

"Tell Black*Star that I'm on my way." I said before I hung the phone. I turned to Spirit, "I got to go. There is a problem."

"Is Maka ok?"

"Maka is fine. Black*Star needs helps. I will talk to you later." I said as I ran out the door and to my bike. I jumped on my bike and headed to the park as fast as I could.

"Hold on, Maka! I'm coming!" I thought.

(Black*Star's POV)

"Damn, this kishin is stubborn." I said as I panted. Sweat poured off my face.

"I notice. Is Maka ok?" Tsubaki asked worried.

"She is ok. She is hiding right now."

"That is great. How are you holding up?"

"I'm a god, Tsubaki." Tsubaki sweat-drop. I could see where Maka was hiding when I heard a motorcycle pulling up. I saw Soul parked it and jumped off.

"Where is Maka?" Soul asked.

"She is safe for now." I replied.

(Soul's POV)

I was relief to hear Maka was safe, and she was hiding. I saw the kishin running toward Black*Star. The kishin jumped up and disappeared. Tsubaki transformed back and came up to me. We where about five feet away from Black*Star.

"Where did it?" I heard Black*Star asked.

"I don't know, but I hope it is gone. Ok Maka! You can come out now." I yelled. Maka came out of the women restroom. She started to walk up to next to Black*Star. She stop next to Black*Star when the ground started to shake. Out of nowhere, the kishin landed in front of Maka and Black*Star.

"Black*Star! Maka! Look out!"Tsubaki yelled as the kishin brought its claw around to swipe them. Black*Star turned around just as the kishin swung at them.

"NOOOOO! MAKA! BLACK*STAR!" Soul and Tsubaki cried.
