Chapter 3

After Maka shut the door to Dr. Stein's class she tried to run to the bathroom, but she only made it a few meters from his class. She bent over, one hand on the wall the other on her stomach and began barfing, she recognized the pancakes from this morning and a couple of other stuff she ate from earlier this morning hit the black and white tiles. Her body felt really weak, she had a hard time standing. Luckily nobody was in the hall, she was all alone. She just hoped that non of the classes had heard. she heared a door opened and she looked up. It was Dr. Stein'sdoor...and it was Soul.

Soul closed Dr. Stein's door and turned. His smile faded as he saw his meister barely trying to hold herself up, over a puddle of vomit. Maka wobbled a bit then nearly fell. Soul ran to her and caught her. Now he truly was worried. Maka's breathing was pretty fast, but she stopped throwing up.

Soul pulled her away from the puddle and laid her against the wall. Maka closed her eyes, too weak to keep them open. Soul leaned over her, he moved his headband that took him forever to set nicely on his head up, pushed his soft white hair out of the way, and put his forehead against hers. He could smell her breath and it smelled like vomit, but thats because she just did, and Soul didn't really care. He only cared for the well being of his Meister.

"Dammit Maka you have a fever!" said Soul as he moved away from her. No answer. "shit, she passed out." Right when Soul said that Tsubaki opened the door and froze. Maka looked really sick. She seemed fine earlier, this couldn't of been from the dissection. "Tsubaki go tell Dr. Stein...Now. I'm going to take her to the nurse!" said Soul, now sweating. He lifted Maka up, carrying her in his arms. She was lighter than he had thought.

Just when he lifted her up Dr. Stein, Kid , and Black Star where at the door. Stein told the rest of the class to study something while the rest of Maka's friends followed him and Soul to the health room. "what happened to her?" asked Kid, while Soul set her down on the bed of the health room. " She was Barfing, then she collapsed and her head was hot" said Soul.

Before anyone else could say anything Nurse Medusa came to help. "here everyone go wait outside, I'll give her some medicine to help her. Stein i'll need your help." Stein looked toward the Medusa giving her a nod and turned to the teens "don't worry she'll be fine. And I promise I won't dissect her." said Stein hoping to defuse the tension. The teens left and he closed the door.

BlackStar stood by Maka's vomit, trying to figure out if she ate anything bad. "what did she eat, cause I can't tell.". Soul tried to keep his cool, but the fact was that he was loosing his cool. Worried, scared, and anger filled his head. And he was only mad because she would want to come to school while sick. "I don't know, pancakes. We had pancakes for breakfast." said Soul as he scratched the back of his head.

Kid put a hand on Soul's arm. "She'll be fine. She's Maka." Kid thought that for everyone. Everyone hoped she would be fine. Soul looked up at Kid, Kid smiled and Soul grinned back. He looked at Liz and patty they nodded and smiled, Tsubaki also smiled.

"And besides, if Maka isn't fine then all she has to do is look at my face and she'll be fine." said Black Star as he smiled, trying to cheer up his best friend.

Soul laughed, but then he frowned "but the thing is that this morning she was acting all wierd. When we were walking here and she wasn't answering me, and she said she was all fine but..."Soul didn't want to continue.

For the next 15 minutes they were all just chatting about missions, and other stuff. And watching the janitor clean up the vomit. The topic of Maka would slip in and out of the conversation as well.

Everyone stood to hear whatever news there was about Maka, Soul standing the quickest. Dr. Stein turned the giant screw sticking out of his head clock-wise 3 times before speaking. "Maka's just fine, she has a fever that's all. But I don't think she should come to school tomorrow, so Soul just in case she is not healthy enough to take care of herself, you're excused from class tomorrow. Class is over for all of you, so you all can leave now, goodbye." thats all Stein said before he went back to class to excuse the others.

The group went into the room to see maka in the bed, her hair down, and an ice pack over her head. Nurse Medusa came out from one of the other room and replaced the ice pack on Maka's head with a new one, she shifted from the cold. " I bet you've heard from stein. I've given her some medicine that will keep her energy up so that she could walk home but she still has her fever."

Medusa handed Soul some fever reducing pills. "give her these every 4 hours, and if her fever goes any higher than it is then just come to school and talk to me." Soul looked at the thermometer showing that her temperature was 101.5. He nodded and put the pills in his pocket. Then after reasurring Soul that Maka would be fine Medusa left.

Soul walked up to Maka and sat next to her on the bed, just like how she did with him this morning. "hey Maka you ready to go?'' Maka shifted and moved the ice pack from her head and said "yeah, I don't like the health room..." she coughed and slowly sat up. She still didn't look good.

She slowly moved her feet of the bed, and when she tried to stand she nearly fell. She refused to be carried by Soul all the way home so she leaned on Soul and Kid all the way home. They all were going to make sure that she was going to be fine, and walk the two home. It took them 20 minutes to get home because occasionally they would stop because Maka would have to vomit. But When Soul and Maka finally got home, they settled maka into bed and let her rest.

They asked if he needed help taking care of Maka, but Soul said he was fine. "I'll call if I need help. Well hopefully we'll see you guys at school tomorrow, and if we don't then come and visit." Said Soul as he waved goodbye to them as they left.
