Before I start this chapter I just want to let you guys know that last chapter, the first song was Resonance (1st opening) and the second was Monster by Meg and Dia.

Chapter 3: Past

Maka's P.o.v

"Um, who are you." I asked this strange man in front of me.

"Well, you probably don't remember me. We used to know each other a long time ago. Good friends we were. And," He held up the present. "I wanted to give you a present."

He tried handing it to me but I didn't move. He shook it a little urging me to take it. "Come on, nothing's wrong with it."

I reached out really slowly and took it. He smiled.

The ribbon wouldn't come off it. I kept trying to untie the knot but it seemed as it was connected to the wrapping paper.

"Here, let me help you." He said, taking it from me and sliding a part of the ribbon to the side and taking it off.

"There, all better." He grinned. But that went away went I made a face of confusion.

I tore everything off and saw a nice green box.

I opened it and there was something in there...but...what is it?

I held it up, looking at it closely.

"Um," He said, rubbing his hands together. "It's like a good luck charm. I mean, its a compass but whenever my grandfather had it he told me that it was good luck when you turn the needle three times. No one believed him, but I did. He had the luckiest life. And least I thought so."

"Wow, taking your grandfather's things huh? You must be the best grandson."

"He gave it to me, I didn't steal it."

"Yeah, sure."

He rolled his eyes. "And you're still here, why?"

"Wow, you are nothing like you were before. You're a real bitch now."

I put the compass back in the box and closed it up. My hands wrapped around it, squeezing it really hard.

"If you don't go, I will hurt you."

He looked surprised. But not scared. I mean, I could hurt him. I know I can. I think I can.

"Yes, and I was always the one defending you. I guess now you don't need me anymore."

He walked out and slammed the door.

"Good luck?" I asked my self reaching for the lid of the box. I stopped, clasping my hands into a fist.

"Luck just doesn't seem to work for me."

The next day...

Tsubaki's P.o.v

The sheets were on the floor but I didn't bother to pick them up. Wait, these aren't my sheets. I rubbed my eyes but then it just got fuzzier. Then, I remembered last night. Oh, that really did happen didn't it. I bit my lip, looking around the room for my clothes. Holding the sheet I ran to my room, almost slipping.

I heard the door open right when I was finished getting dressed. I peeked, expecting, hoping, to see Black Star. But, it was...Soul.

"Soul, how did you get in here?" I asked. He turned and saw me.

"Uh, I opened the front door." He said, sarcastically.

I really hope he did see the mess in Black Star's room. Well, he wasn't that far in the house I guess it was-

"Uh, why is Black Star's room so messed up. It looks like a bomb went off." He said pointing to it with the door wide open.

"Uhh, ya know, Black Star he-is like that." I tried to say normally. Well that failed.

"Ooohhkaay then. Hey can I use your bathroom?"

I shrugged, "Sure."

This is weird. I thought. I wonder why he's here. Maybe just to see Black Star. But, I'm surprised he actually went outside. He's been so upset about everything. I wonder what made him cheer up...or maybe that just got him to get up.

"I'm Back!" Black Star said, bursting through the door. He was holding two coffee's in his hands. I smiled.

He put them down on the kitchen counter and turned to face me. So, anything happen while I gone?" He asked, flashing a bright smile.

"Well, S-" I stopped as he quickly kissed me. I put my arms around his neck as he moved his hand up and down my arm.

"Hmm, Now I know how the room is messed up."

Soul's P.o.v

They slowly pulled away, noticing I was there. I mean it wasn't weird to see them..well it was but whatever. They can do whatever they want, I don't care. But I would've liked to know about it.

"So, why didn't I know? I mean, I don't care. It's good that you guys FINALLY hooked up but," I said after we all sat down.

"Well, it only happened last night. And its not like we're actually dating." Black Star said.

"Yeah, I guess."

"But, Soul," Tsubaki said.

"Why are you here?"

I shrugged, "I don't know, I didn't know where else to go. Hey, Are you going to visit Maka later?"

"Oh, now I get it. I am but, She doesn't really like me so I don't know if I should." Tsubaki answered.

"Well, then just hope for the best. I'm sure it'll be okay." Black Star said.

"She doesn't seem in such a good mood."

"She's never in a good mood anymore."

Late at night, probably 7 o'clock..

Maka's P.o.v

"I don't care if this doesn't work. It's not like I want to use this damn compassy thingy." I sighed. "Here. Goes. Nothing."

One...two...three.

"Maka," I heard Tsubaki say.

"Tsubaki where is everybody? How did I end up here? Why am I not in the academy?"

All she did was smile.

"Tsubaki, What time is it?"

"Time for you to go home."

In the cellar...

Dammit! Stupid chains. I rattled them attempting to break free but that hasn't worked.

"Asura, I don't know what we will do if that girl comes back."

"She won't wake up. And it's not like she'll do anything dangerous to try to stop us. We've already got that petty bastard lying over there."

They had been talking about this for days now, and it was getting annoying.

"Oh please, stop talking about yourself." I said. It angered him, I could see it in his eyes.

"Do you want me to hurt you, you I could've done it anytime I wanted to."

"Well, obviously you have. Don't you see all this blood on the wall."

Suddenly, some random buff guy came running in. "She's back. But, she's not powerful enough to stop us."

"Good, very good." Asura stated as he turned back to me.

"You know it's not as much as that one day, you know."

He rolled his eyes. One more than needed. "Oh, so you are still going on about this?"

"That day you and you're followers destroyed the academy and Lord Death. But, I call him another name."

Asura picked up a wine glass he had set on a table near him.

"Hmm. I keep forgetting...what's your name?" He took a sip.

"Hello, my name is Death the Kidd. You killed my father...Prepare to die"

Author's note: If you didn't already know, the last part is from The Princess Bride. I just love that movie and I thought it would work well. I hope you enjoyed it! :)
