Stranger

Liz POV:

The bell rang just as I ran into class Crescent Moon. All heads turned to stare at me, from how fast I threw myself through the door. I looked up at the row of chairs, Maka wasn't there, she was still in the medical room with Black*star.

I placed the strap of my bag on my shoulder and began to walk up the steps towards Patty. I sat down next to her placing my bag on the floor.

"Where's Tsubaki?" I whispered as I sat down.

She shrugged her shoulders and started to doodle on the piece of paper in front of her. She was writing something.

I heard her yelling at Black*star.

I took out a pen as she placed the paper in front of me.

Really? What was she saying?

I didn't really know what happened, she was yelling at him saying stuff like "What the hell are you doing!" I saw Black*star walk out of the room at that point, Tsubaki didn't follow. I'm thinking that someone else was in there.

I didn't know what to say back so I just drew a little confused face.

Footsteps ran down the hallway, they got louder as the got closer to the door. They skidded and then Tsubaki and golden eyed boy walked through the door.

"Sorry were late Professor Stein…" Tsubaki bowed her head to show her apology.

The boy stayed silent, staring out the window keeping his arms crossed across his chest. His gaze suddenly turnt to me as he noticed I was staring at him.

"Death the Kid?" Stein questioned stepping towards him "I believe that someone would like to speak to you down in the medical room.

His eyebrows narrowed as he turned to face Stein "Who?"

Stein check his clipboard "They didn't say, they just said to send you down"

His name is Death the Kid…?

Without wasting another second, Kid slowly turned around and walked back through the door, keeping his arms folded over his chest though.

Maka POV:

I lay in the medical room, staring up at the ceiling fan that was spinning around and around. I watched it for quite some time before I started to feel really dizzy and I couldn't watch it anymore.

"What happened back there Maka?' Black*star asked placing his hand on top of mine.

I stayed silent, not wanting to say anything. I moved my eyes across the room to stare out of the window. The snow was still falling, I hadn't seen snow fall so much in my whole life. I watched it as the snow flakes danced around together, spinning around then resting against the snow covered pavement.

"Say something…" He whispered tightening his grip on my hand just a little so I knew he was still there.

I opened my mouth "Will you come to my house for Christmas"

He looked confused and some what startled at the same time "What?"

"I don't want to spend it alone this year. Will you?" I turned my head to face him, to see his expression.

He chuckled "Of course"

Three loud taps echoed through the room as someone knocked against the door. I tried to see who it was but Black*star was blocking my view.

"What do you want?" Black*star hissed looking over his shoulder.

"Someone wanted to see me?" A male voice said, I recognized that voice, I heard it before.

Black*star turned his head back to face me "You wanted to see this jerk?"

Footsteps were made as the owner to the male voice walked round and stood at the end of the bed. I turned my head to see who it was and that's when I realized.

"Did you need to see me Maka?" The golden eyed boy smiled at me slightly.

He looks so beautiful when he smiles…

I stammered "Uh… I asked the nurse to send for you"

Black*star looked angry "Why would you wanna speak to him?"

I closed my eyes then opened them again, taking in a deep breath "Black*star…"

Kid moved his gaze to Black*star "Maybe you should wait outside for a moment"

"Don't you dare tell me what to do!" Black*star took a step closer towards him.

"Black*star!" I exclaimed.

He spun around to look at me "What!"

My jaw dropped, shocked from his outburst "Don't shout at me…"

"Maka, I'm sorry" He tried to apologize.

"Get out" I clenched my fists against my body.

"I didn't mean…" He took a step towards me.

Kid placed his hand on Black*stars shoulder and started to lead him out of the room. Pushing him out of the room and closing the door behind him.

"I'm sorry about him" I breathed out "He can get upset about a lot of things"

Kid chuckled "Its okay and I know that already" He pointed to the cut on his forehead.

Death the Kid POV:

You have no idea how much I wanted to take her in my arms and hold her till the end of time. But I couldn't, all I could do was stand there ad just watch her breathe.

"What did you want to speak to me about?" I asked walking round to her side.

I saw she was hesitating and struggling for her words "I-I, uh…"

I made sure I got close enough to her so she could see my eyes up close, I knew she knew what I was.

"I needed to ask you something…" She swallowed hard and wrapped her arms slowly across her chest.

I smiled at her as I sat down next to her on the edge of the bed "What's that?"

Her lower lip trembled "What happened to you last night?"

My smiled faded "W-what…?"

"I saw you, outside my house" She gripped on tighter to her shoulders "You were… pulling yourself along the ground"

I placed my hand on the back of my neck, digging my nails into the back of my neck ever so slightly.

Maka POV:

I slightly reached out and grazed my finger against his soft and pale cheek feeling the warmth of his flesh "I know what you are"

He raised an eyebrow slightly and at the same time let a little smirk approach his lips "Really

"Yeah..." I said it so quietly as if my breath were being drawn away "I do..."

He cupped the side of my hand with his as I still held it against his face "Are you scared?"

I shook my head slowly "Yes. I mean, no, well... I don't know"

He chuckled slightly "What gave me away?"

I parted my lips to give him his answer but, I was traumatized as I brought myself back to the memory, the memory of seeing him become what he held inside. Almost as if he was turning inside out.

I couldn't answer his question. I slowly slid my hand down his cheek and off of the side of his face causing it to fall into my lap.

I parted my lips and breathed "Wolf…"

Death the Kid POV:

She knew… she finally knew. She now knows me for what I really am. I wanted to jump up in excitement and scream her name over and over again. But I just sat there, watching her breathe, listening to the sound of her inhale and exhale.

I slowly reached my hand out towards her face, lifting a strand of her hair then tucking it behind her ear "You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that"

She didn't move but I heard her gasp underneath her breath, trying her best not to show it. Her fingertips were shaking slightly so she clenched her hands into two tight fists.

"How is it…?" She stammered "That I barely even know you, but I feel like I've known you forever"

I chuckled staring into her emerald eyes "I don't know"

I reached over and placed my hand on top of hers, hoping that it would stop her fingers from shaking, but I still felt her finger tips quiver from underneath my palm.

"I stand outside your window, all night and all day, to make sure that you are protected and that you are okay" I moved closer towards her.

She looked astonished "Y-you do?"

I nodded slowly "All the time, I would never be able to live with myself if something ever happened to you"

"B-but, you barely know me" She started to struggle with words again.

I still moved closer towards her "I know more about you than you think I do…"

Another piece of hair fell in front of her face, but I wasn't ready to move it just yet. He eyes shook slightly, maybe it was just her trying to wrap her head around everything.

"I know that you love the snow…" I placed my palm on the side of her cheek "I know you like your music loud"

She giggled staring down into her lap. Staring at my hand that was on top of hers.

I brushed my thumb against her cheek "I know that you like to be alone when you're sad"

I moved my hand away from hers and placed just the tips of my fingers underneath her chin, tilting her head up to face me. She gasped staring into my eyes and I stared back into hers.

"And I know, that you're always alone" I could see the pain and sadness in her eyes "And I can change that…"

I slowly pulled her chin towards me causing her whole body to move, I moved towards her until our faces were just inches apart. I could feel the coldness from her body, it made me want to huddle her up to keep her body warm forever, but I knew I couldn't. We grew closer and closer until our lips brushed against each other's but before I could press my lips against hers the door flew open.

"Get off of her!" Black*star yelled running towards us.

He grabbed hold of me by the arm and pulled me away from Maka. He threw me against the floor, causing me to hit my head against the ground, harder than the last time.

"Black*star!" Maka exclaimed throwing away the duvet and using every last strength she had to stand up "Leave him alone!"

"Don't you dare touch her!" I hissed through my teeth clutching my head, trying to stand off of the floor.

Black*star folded his arms over his chest "I should be telling you the same thing!"

"Black*star leave!" Maka yelled trying to push him out of the room.

He spun around and grabbed hold of her wrist "What were you doing with him?"

My eyesight was blurred and I was dizzy, but I could tell that he was hurting her "Leave her alone!"

"Black*star, you're hurting me!" Maka yelped trying to loosen his grasp "Let go!"

"Not until you tell me what you were doing with him!" He pulled on her wrists pulling her towards him.

I ran towards him "Let her go!"

My arm out, I pushed Black*star into the wall, making him let go of Maka. She fell and I caught her in my arms before she hit the ground.

Maka POV:

Kid caught me, just went I was inches off of the floor. I looked up and saw Black*star glaring down at both of us.

"Death the Kid!" He yelled "I will kill you!"

Kid placed me on the floor then stood up prepared for what Black*star was going to do to him. Black*star stepped towards him clenching his fists together and raising them in front of Kid's face.

"No stop!" I used the bed to pull myself up as fast as I could "Stop it!"

I leapt forward in front of Kid just before Black*stars fist came in contact with his face.

Kid gasped "Maka!"
Pain, all I felt was pain, excruciating pain as Black*stars fist hit me in the side of the face. I reached up to grab the side of my face as I fell to my knees on the ground.

"Please don't fight…" I sighed as I fell to the side and landed in Kid's arms once again.
