"How you holding up Kid", Tsubaki asked Kid, who was in bed. Kid had next to his desk a bunch of flowers in a bow along with a big black and white teddy bear, from Patty. Everyone came to visit Kid in the medical wing. Lucy sat on her bed looking on with a smile.
"You wait till I see Galorphar again! I show him who's the superstar around here!" Black*Star announced.
"Next time you see him you won't be alone Kid, we'll be right there beside you next time", Liz said.
"He caught everyone off guard when he had brew on him. Next time he won't be so lucky!" Maka said with a smile. Kid grinned then saw Crona behind Maka.
"Don't be shy Crona, you can come on over", Kid said, Crona slowly made his way past Maka to view.
"H…how's your injuries?" Crona asked nervously.
"They still ache but I'm healing up. But how are you doing in the academy?" Kid asked.
"I'm…doing all right, Maka helps me quite a lot", Crona said.
"Just cause he's being mentored by the best", Maka said, proudly.
"Pfft yeah, like you're the best, I'm the best one here!" Black*Star announced.
MAKA CHOP!
"Ow! Why do you always do that!" Black*Star moaned with a book dent in his head. Everyone laughed at Black*Star, while at the other side Soul leaned against the wall with his shark-toothed grin when Sid arrived at the doorway.
"Ah, I bet she's over-joyed that he's awake again", Sid said.
"Yeah, Kid's like a younger brother to her", Soul added.
"They looked right with each other when I accidentally stumbled onto them in the Death Room", Sid also said.
"What Kid and Liz?" Soul asked, with a grin.
"No, Maka and Kid", answered Sid.
"Wait what? Maka and Kid? Sid, tell me everything", Soul hastily ordered.
"When I was alive I was good at keeping things private, new my business, but now I'm dead I'm like a gossip girl. I stumbled into the Death Room last month and walked into the two of them almost kissing. And while he was in a Coma she's been visiting every day", Sid grassed. Soul looked at Maka and Kid, noticing she's been a lot happier now he's awake. Soul clenched his hands into fists, cracking bones and left the room.
"When will you be out of bed?" Liz asked.
"I should be out and about walking tomorrow. Then a few days more I'll be free to leave the place", Kid answered.
"Oh, just in time for the Christmas dance?" Tsubaki asked. Liz and Patty turned and gave a grin and a wink to Maka, Kid didn't notice.
"I guess so", Kid answered then looked to the door.
"Say, where did Soul go?" Kid asked. Everyone turned to the door to see only Sid, who shrugged his shoulders.
"He was here a moment ago…", Tsubaki said. Maka looked down with a sigh and a frown. Soon Mila entered the room.
"All right now kid's time for our Lord to have his rest, and shouldn't you all have lessons to go to now?" she said. Soon everyone was saying they're goodbyes and get well soon's before leaving. However, just before Maka walked out the door she turned around and ran back to Kid and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead, making Kid go red.
"Get well soon", Maka said with a smile and a red face. Maka then turned around and ran out of the room.

Maka walked into her apartment and shut the door behind her.
"Soul?" Maka called out. She looked around until she went into the living room where the TV was on, but on a static channel. Soul was sitting in a chair facing away from her.
"Where the hell did you go? I know you don't like anyone being around Kid but you didn't have to behave immaturely back there", Maka said. Soul suddenly stood up and threw a drinking glass at the wall completely shattering it.
"Why did you lie to me?" Soul slurred out. Maka found on the floor an empty bottle of alcohol.
"Have you been drinking Soul?" Maka asked shocked.
"Don't change the subject! Tell me why you lied to me!" Soul shouted at her.
"Soul…what are you on…", Maka tried to say.
"You told me you went to study! But you went skipping along in your short skirts to Kid, didn't you!" Soul spat out. Maka didn't answer.
"Didn't you!" Soul shouted, staggering up to her.
"I studied, sitting next to him, so what?" Maka said, standing her ground.
"You almost kissed him in the death room too! Right?" Soul shouted at Maka, a strong alcohol stench attacking her sense of smell.
"…So what if I did?" Maka finally said.
"I told you to stay the hell away from him!" Soul spat out, making Maka step back and away from him, but Soul followed.
"What if I love him? Huh?" Maka shouted back.
"That isn't loving its just pity! You don't love him your just sorry for him! And Miss Goody Too-shoes has to get involved in everyone's business, attention seeker!" Soul slurred out. Maka had enough and sent a slap across his face.
"How dare you talk to me about my feelings and call me that! The only attention seeker here is you! Running off like that! Making a show of yourself! Your drunk! Go to bed!" Maka shouted back.
"You don't order me around!" Soul shouted.
"I am your meister and as your meister I order you to go to bed!" Maka shouted. Soul spat at Maka's feet before turning away.
"Why are you being like this? If you've got a problem, tell me what it is!" Maka said.
"You running off with Mr OCD!" Soul shouted back.
"I love him! You got a problem with that too?" Maka said.
"Yes I do!" Soul slurred turning around.
"Why!" Maka shouted.
"Because I love you!" Soul roared into her face. Maka, taken by surprise, backed away from Soul who walked towards her. Maka ended up against the wall with Soul's red eyes glaring into hers.
"W…what?" Maka had to ask.
"I…love…you!" Soul said, attempting to point at one of the Maka's he sees in his drunkenness.
"Y…you don't mean that…", Maka said quietly.
"Yes I do!" Soul barked out. Soul the grabbed Maka's head with his right hand and forced her head towards his, into a kiss. Soul almost whacked her in the face with the force he was using. Maka tried to protest and push him off but Soul had a tight grip on her. Soul then moved away from her lips towards her neck, taking a bite, digging in his teeth into her neck.
"ARGH SOUL STOP IT!" Maka shrieked out. Soul wasn't listening. Soul ended up puncturing her neck and she started to bleed.
"SOUL PLEASE STOP!" Maka shrieked out more. Soul pressed against her, twisting her head round to face him so he can forcefully kiss her again. Maka tried to hit him away and push him away but Soul was too powerful. Soul with his left hand tugged too hard on her shirt and jumper and ended up ripping them.
"SOUL NO!" Maka shrieked even more, finally her leg slipped past his and she took the opportunity to stop him dead on his tracks. She hastily shot her knee upwards, crashing into Soul's family Jewels. Soul collapsed onto the floor, writhing in pain, holding onto his privates. Maka now free, held her bleeding neck for pressure and with her other hand held together her ripped clothing. Maka quickly sent a kick towards Soul's face, knocking him out and busting his nose open and letting him bleed.
"Bastard!" she yelled before running out the door.

Tsubaki was in the living room with Black*star doing push ups. Tsubaki was drinking her tea peacefully listening to Black*Star counts his push-ups. Suddenly there was loud hammering on the door.
"Who could that be?" Tsubaki asked. Black*Star stopped his push-ups.
"I don't know, it's late", Black*Star answered. Tsubaki put her tea down and walked to the door to take a look through the peephole.
"It's Maka…she looks hurt!" Tsubaki said and opened the door. Tsubaki turned on the porch light to see Maka clearly. She held her neck with her right hand and helps her top together with her left hand. Her gloves we're stained with blood and Maka looked ready to collapse. Her eyes were bloodshot, probably from crying.
"My god Maka! What's happened to you!" Tsubaki hastily asked. Maka teared up and ran towards Tsubaki, giving her a big hug.
"Help me…" Maka stammered out. Tsubaki held her and Black*Star came and saw Maka. Tsubaki and Black*Star took Maka to the living room and sat her down. As Black*Star went to get the first aid kit Maka sat with Tsubaki and told her everything.
"Soul did that?" Tsubaki asked very shocked.
"He…w..wouldn't listen to me at a…all" Maka cried.
"When I see him I'm going to show him what happens when he messes with friends!" Black*Star said angrily while patching up Maka's neck.
"No! Don't… he was drunk and…" Maka tried to say through her tears.
"Maka there is no excuse for what he almost did. You mustn't look over this; he was going to rape you. Look what he did to your neck!" Tsubaki said, opening a sewing kit.
"But he's my weapon…", Maka said.
"You've done your job Maka, you've made him a death scythe. You needn't use him ever again", Tsubaki tried to reason with her.
"I'll get your things tomorrow to Maka", Black*Star said.
"Wha… my things?" Maka asked, a little confused.
"You want to go back sleeping in the same place as that raper? You'll stay here for a while. No objection!" Black*Star stated before Maka could interupt.
"You won't be a bother Maka", Tsubaki confirmed.
"You can take my bed, I'll sleep on the couch", Black*Star said, finishing patching up her neck. Black*Star left the room to get his things. Maka took off her jumper and shirt so Tsubaki could sew them back together.
"How did it come to this? He was always a good friend to me when…", Maka said. Maka rested her elbows on her knees, while resting her head on her hands.
"I guess jealousy can eat someone up inside. I just can't imagine him being capable of attempting to…" Tsubaki left it there.
"Did I deserve that? Is this my fault?" Maka asked Tsubaki, with watery eyes.
"No Maka! Don't think that!" Tsubaki stopped sewing and rested her hand on her shoulder.
"This is not your fault nor must you ever blame yourself for it! Tsubaki comforted Maka and held her towards her. During this time Black*Star walked in.
"I got my things so the bed is yours to sleep in n…WOAH!" Black*Star shouted looking at Maka. Maka looked down and realised that she'd taken her short and jumper off and is now only wearing a bra on top. Maka shrieked and took a pillow to cover herself up. Tsubaki then responded with grabing a needle and throwing it at Black*Star's forehead. Causing blood to explode from it and for him to fall backwards.
"Men can be such perverts", said Tsubaki, shaking her head at the twitching body of Black*Star.
