Chapter 3

Tsubaki

Last time…

"So, we are ready to go!" I said, and so we started walking to the next town.

So, we had gone to the next town, looking for information about Medusa or Arachne could be. In the previous town, where the tunnel led us, we did not found anything useful. Therefore, we decided to go to another one. What surprised me was that Soul and Black Star were willing to help me looking for the pair of Gorgon sisters. They probably also have problems with them…

Medusa and Arachne were some powerful enemies of nation. They always attacked this nation for unknown reasons. That made that bought of us fought in a bloody battle that caused a lot of causalities. Almost all the families of the nation where severely affected by this. Either death of family members or debts. The war was finally stopping, but approximately a year ago, it started intensely again. So, we were still in a bloody battle, but this battle was a rarely strange one. Instead of a rebellion or war, it was a battle that was principally to gain power. Therefore, in other words they were attacking important people and gaining power for the country.

I, being one of these important people was under more security. But, like any other war, it also had its battles. The battles were always attacking 'Shibusen' were Lord Death, the Lord of the land, was. This battle was a very harsh one. So the case, they had done in Shibusen a school for creating experienced samurai's and so. They also thought self-defense and other things. Lately, it was known that Archane's troops were almost finished, but Medusa's were attacking more fiercely. There were stories that they had an amazing warrior about my age. However, even so I want to seek my revenge…

"MAKA! MAKA! MAKA! MAKA! MAKA!" Screamed Black Star in my ear.

"Ah, what?" I said, simply confused.

"Wow, Maka you were day-dreaming, again… But, this time you were seriously thinking about it, a lot." Soul said, in his typical cool tone.

We were walking in the town, but like always, everyone started at us. It happened already in all the towns that we visited, that everyone starred us, in our way.

"It's already getting dark; we should stay in a hotel tonight." Soul stated.

I just nodded.

We arrived at the hotel. A simple one, like always. Then, I saw a man with a newspaper on his hand. The man didn't catch my attention a lot, what did was the newspaper. Lately, I saw newspapers with the same news. It said principally 'Sir. Albaran daughter missing!' or 'Maka Albaran, daughter of Albaran missing!' Each one said the same. She was sequestrated by enemy troops. If you find her or give any information, they will pay you. Poor of those, who I see with that newspaper. Those, who could win millions, but have no idea of who I am.

I went to sleep, not imagining what will happen the next day.

We were walking around the tone, looking for any information, like always, but today, this town was loud. Everyone was murmuring things to each other. I heard bits of words, like 'Burned', 'Enemies of the country', but what ticked me was the word, 'Nakatsukasa'.

"Did they just say…" I said, out loud, instead of keeping it to myself.

"What?" Both Soul and Black Star said.

"Can we go to a store?" I said. Then, I tried to smile the most convincing smile I could.

I entered running in the store, I looked for the latest newspaper and here! 'Nakatsukasa home burned by Medusa's troops.' The titular said. I gulped. Then I started reading the fastest that I could, I could see that Soul and Black Star were staring at me and were very confused, but I will explain them later.

Nakatsukasa home burned by enemy troops.

Today morning, they burned the Nakatsukasa home. The one, who started this fire, is suspected to be someone in disguise in the home working. The person burned the house, while everyone was sleeping. They still have not caught the suspect of causing the fire. They're no reports of deaths of anyone by the moment. Almost every one of the clan was found, the only one that is still disappeared it 'Tsubaki Nakatsukasa' the next successor of this family. She had similar age than Maka Albaran and there is probability that they also captured her. However, there is not much information to back up this. Could it be that Medusa and Arachne had united? Is the same troop doing this to specifically targets of this age? We will give you further information about this in the next edition…

I tightened the paper. There is no way in hell that they are going to do something to Tsubaki! I will kill any bastard who dared put a hand on her! I grabbed the newspaper and threw it in the counter to pay it. Then I also slammed the money. I will find her…

"You know, you look really similar to that Maka Albaran…" The register man said.

I scratched the back of my head. "Yeah, they say that to me a lot."

I then exited with the newspaper; I heard someone screamed to me. "Where are you going?" The red-eyed said to me.

"I have to pay a visit to an old friend of mine!" I screamed.

These two samurais had been bothering me all the trip about where we were going. I could not be less interested in the matter. I had to find Tsubaki! No matter what, she was my best friend after all! I will kill this bastard the fastest I can! I will find him and send him to the lowest pitch of hell and back! This is just the beginning! I will then make him suffer unimaginable things…

Then I hit with something. "Ow!" I said, scratching my head. Damn! No stick can stop me! Then, I felt a pair of hands impeding that I could move forward and kill this bastard! People, do not know how scary Maka Albaran can get! "Let me go, you will not want to see my bad side…" I said threatening him.

"Yeah, yeah I am so scared. Quiet your threats and tell me where the hell we are going! And who are we going to visit!" The silver haired man told me.

"Let go of me! I have to rescue Tsubaki!" I told him, and then I hit him, were it most hurt. He then let go of me, with that attack.

"Damn, I think I will never have children…" He told me.

I completely ignored him and continued walking; I was already in the town where her home was. So, she should be close.

After a few minutes of searching, I felt another pair of hands denying my movement, but instead of the same silver haired one, it was a blue haired one.

"Black Star! Let go of me!" I screamed to him. Black Star, was definitely more strong than Soul and had incredible reflexes, what he lacked was brains. That was his weak point.

"No way! You know, you can kick really well, Soul has been in the floor in a while by the kick you just gave him." He told me.

"God, I am really sorry! Let me adulate you!" I told him, in the most convincing tone of I-am-your-fan.

"WELL, IT WAS TIME THAT YOU REALIZED THAT! NOW DO A REVERENCE TO…." But he stopped when he noticed that I was gone. "Damn, she tricked me there…" Black Star said.

I was already long gone from where Black Star was. There is no one that can stop me from looking for Tsubaki! These bastards think they can do whatever they want! There is no possible way to stop me when I am proposed to do something!

I went through alley to alley. Checked everywhere I could see that she could be. I checked in hotels and asked places if they had seen someone that resembled Tsubaki. However, there was no success at all. I continued, when I noticed that the afternoon was starting. I sighed.

I then sat on a bench, to rest for a while. A day walking around tone and escaping from two samurais was not an easy thing. I sat watching the sky. I noticed that this region had a very pretty sky; all the plants were in well shape. I then also noticed that it had a very good... hands. What? Hands! Then someone put the same hand on my mouth to make me stop of doing sound. Then he placed another hand around my waist so I could not escape either.

"That was a good kick, for someone like you. I had to say I was never kicked that hard by a girl in my life." He started. "They were writing to not judge a book by its cover. You look pretty harmless to even kill a fly…" He then stopped, because I bought his hand. "Ow! Also, you can bite very good, I would be afraid if you had teeth like mine." He continued, even ignoring the fact that I was liking and biting him. He then started laughing. "Ha Ha Ha, That tickles you know!" He said teasingly.

He just stated random things and I give up. I am so sorry Tsubaki, but there is someone that does not let me look for you. If it were by me, I would be looking for you right know! But, I am so tired and… my stomach growled…. Hungry!

"So, finally you calmed down. Now to the business, who the hell are you looking for?" Soul asked.

He then let go of his hand and I inhaled fresh air. I guess I have no option. "Well, she was a friend of mine, her name, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa…

An autumn day, when the leaves felled from the tree's from everywhere. In a garden, there were a brother and sister playing. The sister, of seven years old was playing with his younger brother.

"What do you want to play today?" The boy said.

"I want to play ball!" The girl said.

The boy saw her with a doubtful look. "Tsubaki, you say that all the days, but what do YOU really want to play?" He asked her again.

"I want to play ball!" The little girl said. The boy sighed in defeat and they began playing ball.

After several minutes, the boy started talking again. "Tsubaki, why do you choose to play this if you didn't want to? You do this all the days."

"But, brother I want to play ball with you." The little girl said.

"Like always… a scentless flower, Tsubaki." The boy said. "A flower with no fragrance. A pitiful flower."

The girl started sniffing, and then she went away, from the spot crying.

Little six years old Maka, was with his dad in a business trip to the Nakatsukasa residence. The little girl was wearing a light pink kimono and pigtails. She wore gold sandals. The little girl was happily wandering around by the house, waiting for his dad to go out of his meeting when the little one heard someone sniffle.

She then turned around looking from where the sound had come. She heard the same sound and track from where it was coming from. She then found a little girl, around her age, crying behind the airburst. The little girl was wearing a dark blue kimono and had her hair in a high ponytail. She wore dark sandals. She had black her and some beautiful black bluish eyes. She was there sniffing alone.

The little Maka approached the other girl. She then touched her lightly on the shoulder and she turned around and saw that she was not alone anymore. The black haired girl, had her face in tears, she also had her beautiful eyes filled of tears.

"Why are you crying?" Maka said, to the unknown girl to her. She had concern in her voice. Even she did not know this girl; she looked like a very good person.

The black haired sniffed one time more. "My brother said" She sniffed again. "He said I was a scentless flower."

"But, you are not even a flower!" The blond one stated. Since, very young she was very smart. "Besides," She then moves the piece of hair that was on her face, "You are not a scentless flower; you look so nice and pretty."

"Really?" The other one replied, to unsure of herself.

"Yep! You are not a scentless flower! You are a wonderful person!" The young Maka said.

After a while that the black haired one stopped crying. Maka put her hand in front of her. The black haired one gives her a quizzical look.

"Maka Albaran." Maka said.

"Tsubaki Nakatsukasa." She then held her hand and shook it.

A fourteen-year-old Maka was on a swing in a depressing mood. While, her best friend Tsubaki, was besides her, sitting on the ground.

"This is so unfair Tsubaki!" Maka said.

"I know Maka-Chan, but you and I know that the Gorgons are attacking a lot lately. They are doing this for your own good and mine also." Tsubaki said to Maka.

"I know! However, this is so unfair! I will miss you a lot Tsubaki…" Maka said.

"Maka, I will miss you a lot also, but we can communicate in cards!" Tsubaki told her trying to lift up her mood.

"You know the cards today a day you have to wait a week for deliverance." Maka said, in a depressing tone.

"Maka, you and I know that your that only wants to do this for your own good. After all, he did suffer a lot with that incident…" Tsubaki said. She tried not to get too involved in that subject, because her friend was sensitive about it.

"Yeah, I know…" Maka said.

Then, they said there farewells. Both depressed. They both cried, but tried not to get the best of their emotions to get them. They will not be seeing each other until the war ends or at least be more peaceful than now. They did not know how much time the will not be seeing each other… 1 week…. 1 year…. 5 years…. 10 years… They simply did not know.

Then, each of them went on separated ways.

"Since then, I have not seen her. We were communicating through letters until I escaped home…"I finished, this story was a very sad one. "Then, next thing I knew about is that her house was burned and she was missing. There was no way in hell I am going to leave this like this!" I then said, a little more animated. "But, then I have to samurais that do not let me look for my best friend, and they left me trapped until I told them who I was looking for and why." I finished, know if this bastard would let me free so I could continue with my search for my best friend!

"Wow." Both Soul and Black Star said. I stared weirdly since when did Black Star arrived. Maybe he was spying us and he then got inside here, accidently.

Then, I turned around and saw a group, close by us crying, like if they had lost someone very valuable.

"That" A blond one, in the group started. "Was such an emotional story!" He then busted tears.

All of his fellow companions copy his lead and started crying like him. It was like a funeral.

"You should write a novel about this!" Another one stated.

I looked at them, weirdly. Lately, I notice I am around so weird people. To weird. I then turned at Black Star and Soul, who also had some weird faces on them. They were like if they just saw a completely emotional novel with an end that the principal character died, and they were trying not to cry.

"Well… If you excuse me…." I said, very awkwardly. I never was in such an awkward situation, that everyone was crying around me and I had my best friend to look for.

I then, continued to look everywhere in the town. Since I had entered here, I felt like she was here. It is just the feeling of having her close; I am so sure that she is in this town. I passed by an alley, but I smelled a unique smell. The smell of my best friend Tsubaki!

I entered the alley, and sniffed the trail of scent. I continued it. I had exit the alley turned around some turns, went through the park, where I found all of them crying ; except Soul and Black Star who were still shocked about the story. Then, I did more turns, passed through shops, inside boxes, between some people legs, by the park, again, until I arrived to a dead end.

I was half drop dead! After, evading everything, just to find that I still did not had find Tsubaki! This is sad! I then heard my stomach growl and I was nearly fainted. I decided to go to the park again. Look for those weirdoes, not the group, but for Soul and Black Star. Then, continue to look for Tsubaki tomorrow! I will find you no matter what!

The next day I started looking for her again. I feel like she was so close but so far! Those samurais went again to the park; they were doing something like a group with those weirdoes of yesterday! I was shocked when they told me that!

I was barely dead when I arrived to the park.

Soul, who had the same face from before, noticed me. Then put his attention to me. "You look… dead." He then said flatly.

"And I feel like that to!" I told him.

Then we went to a hotel and went to the restaurant of downstairs. I ate double times than Black Star. I was starving to death!

"So…" Soul started.

"Hmm..." I responded.

"Well, tomorrow we have some plans with some people…." He said.

"With who?" I asked, they were chasing me one-half of the day and the other one they were half-dead.

"Well with the group of people that were with us in the park…" He told me, in a tone that I could barely hear.

I nearly chocked….

That is how I ended up with my two stupid samurais in the park with a bunch of unknown people, only god knows what they are doing.

I walked the places that I had been yesterday. I started looking for new places that I did not check yesterday in case she was there. I did not find her in any of those, so I thought to go were the last place that I had smelled her scent.

I stared at the wall for a while. A simple wall, nothing more than a wall. Just a wall. W-A-L-L. Normal wall, of probably normal concrete or normal bricks. Looked like between 3 to 4 meters. Gray colored. Not dirt on it…. I sighed. Thinking about a wall was not going to help me at all!

I then started to feel hungry, again. So I went to a close shop. It looked good and smelled good so I decided I would try it.

I sat down, in my chair, normal chair. Made of wood. Damn! I thought too much about that wall! Concentrate Maka!

Then, the waiter came and asked me what I would order and I replied with a "Please, could you give me the biggest thing in the menu." He then nodded and left. I sighed. Tsubaki where are you?

Then, the waiter brought all the food that could be eaten by twenty people. But, I ate it all alone. I was starving. I do not eat that much, but I eat like this when I am starving. I know how Black Star felt…

I finished the meal and continued looking for her. I passed the park sometimes and found that they were planning something. They were working in a team for god knows what purpose. I then continued looking for her and found no success like yesterday. I then came back to the Hotel and rested until the next day….

The same routine as yesterday, I looked all over town. The samurais in their interesting meeting. However, after lunch I smelled her scent again! I then continued it again; I passed through the same places than the other day. And guess where I ended up? If you answered the wall, then you are certainly correct!

I stand in front of the wall again; I stared it and stared it. Let us see about the information about this wall. I always end up her, by following the scent. It is gray. It is 3 to 4 meters high. It is probably made of cement. It is new. It is not dirty. It is completely isolated from the town. It is a normal wall…. Not much new information about it.

I sighed; I then went to buy something to drink. I then sat in front of the wall, for an hour, not much had changed. Well, to be honest NOTHING changed. No one passed by here. It was completely isolated from everything.

I then stand up and started walking in some random direction. But, then I smelled the scent again. I followed it, like the one before. I passed through the park, again. They looked like they were finishing whatever they were planning to do. They were just pointing out something. I then continued with the smell.

This time, instead of ending in mister NORMAL WALL. I ended up in an alley; I looked around to see if I found something out of normal. Not that out of normal, like ghost, aliens or zombies. More like, a someone. And indeed, I found it. On the other end of the alley, I saw someone with a cloth on top of her.

I looked to detail to see the person. She was covered almost everything by the cloth, but those eyes, I will never forget them. That person was walking towards me, when I walked towards her.

"M-Maka?" She said.

Then I hugged her, with everything I got. She also hugged me strongly. It had been a year, a year! We were crying, not tears of sadness, but tears of happiness. I found my best friend. I thought she had died.

"T-Tsuba-ki." I said.

"M-aka." She then said.

We were crying, tears of joy. To see each other again. The thought of one of us could had died was shocking for us. To have each other, close to one and another. To feel each other. To talk about what had happened since the last time we met. It was all-important to us.

Next time…

"So, I think that we'll be firing Eruka."

Some seconds later, there was fire everywhere.

"And I know why the people in the park looked familiar; they were your samurai's right?"

A/N: Here is the next chapter like promised! Super big! What was Soul an Black Star doing in the park with that group? You'll see in the end of the story if I don't forget about it! Then, I think that Tsubaki and Maka have like a sort of sister realationship, so I wrote how they were looking for eachother like that! Why just those two flashbacks? Well, because I just wanted to do when they meet and when they finished metting each other!

Another thing, Maka was ALWAYS under survillence since she was 5, the reason, you will soon know! But, because how I told you at that time the war wasn't that bad, so it was less the security! But, always Maka was under surveillance!

Just one more thing, I was lately thinking, maybe I could do this also a PattyXChrona? Well, I don't really know which genre is Chrona, and I really will never decide between the two options. So I could make him a boy(I simply won't write Yuri!)

Thanks for all your support! Well, that's all. See you in the next chapter!
